To the average American, the world of cryptocurrencies can be completely inscrutable. Only about 17 percent of U.S. adults say they've ever invested, traded or used crypto, according to an October Gallup poll. But that relative obscurity might be exactly why President Donald Trump and his family have gone all in on crypto. From pay-to-play memecoin dinners to billion-dollar investments in bitcoin, the Trump family now has a huge stake in a growing industry with few regulatory guardrails — and mounting conflicts of interest. Allison Morrow, a senior writer for CNN Business, tells us what the Trump family is up to and why ethics experts are waving red flags.And in headlines: The Trump administration ordered a pause on new student visa interviews, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. stripped Covid vaccine recommendations for healthy children and pregnant people, and King Charles told Canada's Parliament 'that the true North is indeed strong and free' in a speech widely seen as a rebuke of President Trump.Show Notes:Check out Allison's work – www.cnn.com/profiles/allison-morrowSubscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

VYS0049 | Machines of Loving Vayse - Vayse to Face with Sequoyah Kennedy v2.0 - Show Notes Imagine, if you will, a world burning as society crumbles (is this stretching you?), in the perpetual, scorched twighlight of a dying planet, the determined foot of a tall figure crushes a skull on a landscape forged of human bones - that foot belongs to Sequoyah Kennedy and the human bones are the vestiges of the common myths and misunderstandings about artificial intelligence... apparently AI's are better than humans at devising effective metaphors in order to convey useful information - and we'll have to hope for their sake that's true. In this episode Hine and Buckley invite back to Vayse one of the most intelligent and articulate humans in the material world, Sequoyah Kennedy. Since the Nonsense Bazaar ended SK has gone deep down the rabbit hole of large language models and has returned to help Hine and Buckley get their heads round what artificial intelligence actually means in 2025 and dismisses some of the ubiquitous confusion which surrounds the topic: is the best use of AI as personal assistant and unpaid artists? Are there demons haunting cyberspace? Do androids dream of electric sheep? and he touches on one of the big questions of our time - are we all in very real danger from this soulless, characterless mockery of human ingenuity with no empathy, no conscience and no soul... or will Elon Musk just finally piss off so that we can live in glorious harmony with our wonderful, wise robot buddies? (recorded 11 March) Thanks to Sequoyah for his patenience in explaining these ocmplex ideas to two middle-aged luddites and thanks, as always to Special K - the man who makes sense of our ramblings, Keith who once again did a sterling job of the show notes.

(Re)plongez dans l'univers de Foursquare et revivez l'euphorie des années 2010, cette époque où l'on découvrait notre ville différemment, un check-in à la fois. L'appli de Dennis Crowley, visionnaire et co-fondateur, a su capturer l'imaginaire des urbains en alliant digital et réalité d'une manière inédite. Dans cet épisode, suivez le parcours de Foursquare, de son lancement en 2009 à son statut de géant de la géolocalisation. Ce n'était pas seulement une app, c'était un phénomène social, inspirant ensuite des applications françaises comme Plyce, Happn, CityLity, Zenly, Mapstr et Wemap, qui ont cherché à prolonger cet héritage d'exploration et de connexion.Aujourd'hui, cette plateforme pionnière aide les entreprises à mieux comprendre les comportements de leurs clients et à créer des expériences plus immersives. Ses outils de géolocalisation et d'intelligence des données, alimentés par des insights innovants et respectueux de la vie privée, sont adoptés par des grandes entreprises mondiales, réinventant l'analyse de la mobilité et la gestion des emplacements.Revivez les débuts : le rachat de Dodgeball par Google et son influence sur l'évolution de Google Maps, le lancement de Swarm, et la création de Marsbot, qui fait vivre la ville à travers nos AirPods, sans oublier Pinpoint, qui a révolutionné le marketing local. Ce voyage est aussi l'occasion de replonger dans la philosophie de Crowley : reconnecter les gens à leur environnement, avec une touche de ludisme et une vraie envie de créer des souvenirs.Que vous soyez nostalgique de l'ère Foursquare ou curieux de redécouvrir l'histoire des applications mobiles qui ont marqué notre quotidien, cet épisode est pour vous. Rejoignez-nous pour revivre les débuts d'une application qui croyait que chaque coin de rue avait une histoire à raconter.(Re)découvrez l'impact de Foursquare et cet héritage qui a redéfini notre façon d'explorer le monde.SourceOrange : https://youtu.be/_nEXvCIXV-w?CNN Business : https://youtu.be/_nEXvCIXV-w?lemobile.fr : https://youtu.be/3Ecicn-2ZKk?

The Federal Reserve is expected to cut interest rates this week for the first time in four years. It would be a major milestone in the central bank’s long fight to get inflation under control. The Fed changes interest rates to keep inflation in check. But inflation is a complex phenomenon, and people have different ideas about what drives it. On the show today, Harvard economics professor Stefanie Stantcheva explains what Americans believe about the root causes of inflation and how the government should manage it, how views differ along party lines and the role media play. Then, the narrative around retail theft is changing. And, comedian Rola Z who hosts the “Funny Arabs” show in Washington, D.C., answers the Make Me Smart question. Here’s everything we talked about today: “People's Understanding of Inflation” from the Social Economics Lab at Harvard “The Fed And Public Opinion” from Forbes “What actually happens when the Fed cuts interest rates?” from Marketplace “No, Americans Are Not Completely Stupid About Inflation” from The New York Times “The Growing Use of Voting Before Election Day” from the Center for Election Innovation and Research “America's stores are winning the war on shoplifting” from CNN Business “Federal Debt Is Soaring. Here's Why Trump and Harris Aren't Talking About It.” from The Wall Street Journal “How would Project 2025 impact troops and veterans?” from Military Times We want to hear your answer to the Make Me Smart question.

Today, we're talking about one of Kai Ryssdal's favorite topics: soccer! The sport’s U.S. audience is only expected grow, especially as the country gets ready to host the World Cup in 2026. Paul Tenorio, soccer writer for The Athletic, said access to the sport has changed dramatically for Americans over the last decade. On the show today, Tenorio explains why soccer is gaining a new audience, what lessons American stadiums can learn from mistakes at the recent Copa América tournament, and how legendary player Lionel Messi is bringing eyes and money to the game in the United States. Then, we’ll get into how companies are using troves of data to target different consumers, and why this “surveillance pricing” has caught the attention of the Federal Trade Commission. And, what a travel editor got wrong about repeat travel. Here’s everything we talked about today: “The Messi Effect – How One Single Player Will Impact Soccer In America” from Forbes “‘It was inhuman': Why the Copa America final was delayed and dangerously close to disaster” from The Athletic “U.S. Soccer Fans Are Younger, More Diverse Than Fans of Other Sports” from Morning Consult “What Messi’s MLS, Apple, Adidas deal means for everyone else” from ESPN “You're not going crazy — you may actually be paying higher prices than other people” from CNN Business “FTC Issues Orders to Eight Companies Seeking Information on Surveillance Pricing” from the Federal Trade Commission “Why Is the US Deficit So Big?

The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage is as American as apple pie. But it wasn’t always this way, and it’s putting the housing market in a tough spot lately. A substantial amount of homeowners with low-rate mortgages are choosing to stay put in their homes rather than selling and buying a new one at higher rates. It’s created what’s known as a lock-in effect. On the show today, Andra Ghent, professor of finance at the University of Utah, explains how a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage became the norm in the United States, why it’s now putting the housing market in a bind, and how our mortgage system perpetuates inequality. Plus, could the Danish mortgage model work here? Then, we’ll get into why the Federal Trade Commission is eyeing pharmacy benefit managers, the third-party companies that negotiate drug prices between health insurance providers and drugmakers. And, an editor at The Points Guy shares the story of a travel lesson learned. Here’s everything we talked about today: “Why do we have a 30-year mortgage, anyway?” from Marketplace “A Huge Number of Homeowners Have Mortgage Rates Too Good to Give Up” from The New York Times “A 30-Year Trap: The Problem With America's Weird Mortgages” from The New York Times “Denmark’s genius housing fix” from Business Insider “Homeowners Don't Want to Sell, So the Market for Brand-New Homes Is Booming” from The Wall Street Journal “FTC Releases Interim Staff Report on Prescription Drug Middlemen” from the Federal Trade Commision “F.T.C. Slams Middlemen for High Drug Prices, Reversing Hands-Off Approach” from The New York Times “State Pharmacy Benefit Manager Legislation” from the National Academy for State Health Policy “Prescription Drugs: Selected States’ Regulation of Pharmacy Benefit Managers” from the U.S. Government Accountability Office “Fed Chair Powell talks up progress on inflation but says rate cuts not imminent yet” from CNN Business “Software and social media to grab Congress’ attention” from Marketplace We love to hear from you.

Over the last 50 years, an ideology known as neoliberalism has transformed the American economy — for better or worse. The concept is often associated with Ronald Reagan, free markets and deregulation. But legal scholar Mehrsa Baradaran says there’s a lot we get wrong about the origins of neoliberalism and its true impact on society. On the show today, Baradaran, author of the new book “The Quiet Coup: Neoliberalism and the Looting of America,” explains what neoliberal ideology promised to do for the American economy, what it actually did and why she believes that looking to the free market might, ironically, be the only way forward. Then, why actress Scarlett Johansson isn’t cool with OpenAI’s new chatbot. And we’ll hear the sounds of cicadas! Here’s everything we talked about today: “Opinion | The Neoliberal Looting of America” from The New York Times “What is neoliberalism? A political scientist explains the use and evolution of the term” from The Conversation “Opinion | Time is up for neoliberals” from The Washington Post “Learning how to use AI could boost your pay by 25%, study finds” from CNN Business “Scarlett Johansson says OpenAI chatbot voice ‘eerily similar’ to hers” from Reuters We love to hear from you.
