Short Wave - Firing A Weapon Might Hurt Your Brain

Some weapons used by the United States military are so powerful, they can pose a threat to the people who fire them — even in training. When weapons are fired, an invisible blast wave travels through the brains of anyone nearby. Exposure to lots of these blasts over time — even low level ones — has been shown to cause brain health problems for service members.

If you liked this episode, consider checking out some more episodes on the brain, including its waste system, face blindness and the neuroscience of loneliness.

What Next | Daily News and Analysis - TBD | Elon Musk’s Bully Pulpit

Since Elon Musk took over Twitter - now X - in 2022, he’s increasingly used it to push his conservative views. A suit against a non-profit brand safety group of advertisers and an exclusive interview with former President Trump show that Elon was never interested in keeping Twitter as a town square, but rather, a soapbox for him to push his political agenda.

The Daily Signal - Why More Americans Have Nowhere to Live

The cost of housing rose again last month, making it even more difficult for Americans to afford a home of their own.

Inflation is just one of many problems creating a housing crisis in America. On today’s episode of “The Daily Signal Podcast,” James Burling, a property rights lawyer with more than 40 years of experience, documents how zoning laws, environmental regulations, and progressive Democrat policies like rent control and affordable housing mandates have put the American dream out of reach for families.

Burling is the author of a new book, “Nowhere to Live: The Hidden Story of America’s Housing Crisis.”

Through his work at the Pacific Legal Foundation, Burling has examined the misguided government policies that contributed to the problem of too few homes for Americans. His book diagnoses where the government went wrong and suggests steps that policymakers—and individual citizens—can take to get out of this mess.

NPR's Book of the Day - Two books revisit the cultural impacts of Tina Turner, Duke Ellington and more

Today's episode highlights two books that revisit the cultural contributions of some pretty big names. First, Here & Now's Deepa Fernandes speaks with Deborah Paredez about American Diva, which reclaims the word 'diva' to celebrate the singularity of women like Serena Williams and Celia Cruz.

The Stack Overflow Podcast - Battling ticket bots and untangling taxes at the frontiers of e-commerce

You can find Ilya on LinkedIn here.

You can listen to Ilya talk about Commerce Components here, a system he describes as a "modern way to approach your commerce architecture without reducing it to a (false) binary choice between microservices and monoliths."

As Ilya notes, “there are a lot of interesting implications for runtime and how we're solving it at Shopify. There is a direct bridge there to a performance conversation as well: moving untrusted scripts off the main thread, sandboxing UI extensions, and more.” 

No badge winner today. Instead, user Kaizen has a question about Shopify that still needs an answer. Maybe you can help!
