Greece is bracing for demonstrations that will bring the country to a halt this Friday, as it marks the two-year anniversary of the Tempe rail crash - the country's worst ever rail disaster in which 57 people died. The public outcry is testing the political system, from the government to the opposition, with Prime Minister Mitsotakis acknowledging public demands for truth and justice while condemning efforts to politicize the tragedy. Wolfango Piccoli, the co-founder of risk analysis company Teneo, joins Thanos Davelis to look into the broader ramifications of Tempe for Greece's political system, while exploring how the current uncertainty in Europe and the US factor into the challenges facing Greece.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Public outcry tests the political systemMitsotakis: Justice, not political gamesThe week that will bring the country to a haltGerapetritis to meet Rubio for key talksGreek destination is increasingly popular in Australia, US

Hey everyone, and welcome to the podcast! Today, we're going to be talking about why physical video games are superior to digital only.Now, I know what you're thinking. "Digital games are more convenient. I can just download them and start playing right away." And that's true. But there are a lot of benefits to buying physical games as well.For one thing, physical games are usually cheaper. You can often find them on sale at brick-and-mortar stores, or you can even trade in your old games to get a discount on new ones.Another benefit of physical games is that you can resell them. If you get tired of a game, you can sell it back to a store or online retailer and get some of your money back. With digital games, you're stuck with them forever.Physical games also take up less space on your hard drive. If you have a limited amount of storage space, physical games are the way to go.Finally, physical games just feel more satisfying to own. There's something about having a physical copy of a game that you can hold in your hands and look at. It's a tangible reminder of all the fun you've had playing it.So, if you're looking for the best way to experience video games, I recommend buying physical copies. They're cheaper, you can resell them, they take up less space, and they just feel better.Thanks for listening!In addition to the benefits mentioned above, physical video games also offer a number of other advantages, including:The ability to share games with friends and familyThe ability to play games offlineThe ability to collect rare and unique gamesThe ability to support your local game storeIf you're still on the fence about whether to buy physical or digital video games, I encourage you to give physical games a try. You may be surprised at how much you enjoy them.Support the showJoin the Good2Game Radio Community on Discord where we're talking games, movies and other fun stuff.https://discord.gg/QKnV6yJt

Artificial Intelligence Podcast Podcast Notes Key Takeaways The life that we experience today is not the life that our primate DNA is used to experiencing; civilization happened quickly, and brains changed slowly Leadership is the ability to move something in a direction that the cultural forces are not already taking things “More technology means better good times, but it also means badder bad times. And the scary thing is, if the good and bad keep exponentially growing, it doesn't matter how great the good times become. If the bad gets to a certain level of bad, it's all over for us.” – Tim Urban Ideologies quickly become religions to their followers, at which point the solutions proposed by such ideologies can no longer be challenged It is optimal to create a culture where no idea is sacred so each idea can be properly scrutinized How you arrived at what you think is more important than what you thinkThere is social pressure to laugh off any emerging conspiracy theory that is being considered by the other team An echo chamber is a collaborative culture of low-rung thinking based on a sacred set of ideas that cannot be challenged by anyone in the echo chamber Politics pulls our psyches down to the primitive mind because politics was life or death for the 10,000 years that we evolved through human historyA lowercase “l” liberal culture must develop an immune system that stands up to people that want to exclusively play power gamesThe media is not penalized for lying; corporate media journalists are incentivized to lie because they are rewarded with clicks and not held accountable by their team for lyingThe ideology of the social justice fundamentalist mob wants to tear apart the delicate workings of liberal democracy and shred the critical lines of trust Threats to the inner workings of liberal democracy affect everything else that is built on top of itAwareness without courage does very little Criticism culture attacks the idea while cancel culture attacks the personMany colleges are telling their students that there is a right set of views, mainly views based on woke ideology, and anyone who opposes this set of ideas is badThe future is going to be weird and different; progress over the next several decades will not look like progress over the previous decades, because it never does Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgTim Urban is the author of the blog Wait But Why and a new book What's Our Problem?: A Self-Help Book for Societies.

Econtalk Podcast Notes Key Takeaways The way that peer review actually works is not how most people think it does Peer review is a relatively new thing in the history of science that has not yet stood the test of time Many papers are not rejected because they are untrue, but because they are considered unworthy or not interesting enough to be published in the given scientific journal Letterheads at the top of papers do not mean much to the scientists that just want to use the information contained in the paper; a significant portion of the peer review process is status gamesThe referees do not even look at the data or the analysis of the paper most of the time; checking the results of the paper is virtually never doneThe primary misconception of the peer review process: people assume that the paper is being checked for accuracy when it is submitted when in reality it is being evaluated for how interesting the findings are Most of the papers that are published will never be cited by anybodyThe peer review process costs 15,000 person-years, per year in time spentFraudulent studies are typically caught after the paper has been published and not during the review stage of the peer review processIf a system claims to be doing something that it does not actually do, then the people that rely on the said system are worse off because they have been misled into trusting something that they should not have We are not at the end of science; humanity will continue to progress beyond our lifetimes and we will look ignorant very soon You can imagine an alternative way of doing something when you understand that the current way that it is done is not how it has always been doneWe do not gain much from preventing the publication of low-quality work; however, we do lose a lot from preventing the publication of very high-quality workThe truth tends to win out in the long term, so we should strive to increase the variance of the work that is conducted We need the freedom to say the things that we believe to be trueRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgPsychologist Adam Mastroianni says peer review has failed. Papers with major errors make it through the process. The ones without errors often fail to replicate. One approach to improve the process is better incentives. But Mastroianni argues that peer review isn't fixable. It's a failed experiment. Listen as he makes the case to EconTalk host Russ Roberts for a new approach to science and academic research.

Are you worried about your child's video gaming habits? If so, here's interesting conversation with Eric Lanigan about two topics that I know are relevant, and perhaps concerning, to many listeners out there — video gaming and motivation. I reached out to Eric after learning about an online course he runs for parents called Making Peace with Gaming, because I was curious to know just exactly how we do that, and what that actually means in the context of everyday life with kids who are really into gaming. What I love about this conversation is it went so much deeper than video gaming and into the heart of the emotional lives of our children. I found our conversation to be highly thought-provoking—I hope you get a lot out of it.Eric Lanigan is a Motivation Coach who has helped hundreds of people to get clear on what they want -and then do it. He guides his clients in directing their attention inwards instead of blaming themselves or external events. A former video game addict himself, Eric offers an intimate view of the world of compulsive gaming. Eric has delivered dozens of workshops on emotional intelligence, motivation, and procrastination. His online course, The Big Shift, has served over 750 people from more than 15 countries.Things you'll learn from this episodeWhy many children get so deeply involved in their video game worldsThe emotional payoff many children get from engaging in gamesEric's ideas around how parents can respect and understand their child's video gamingThe connection between motivation and gaming, and what parents miss when considering theseWhy Eric says the problem isn't the games themselves but the way we relate to the gamesThe biggest fears and concerns parents have surrounding their child's gamingEric's thoughts on parents legislating their children's gaming and how rewards and punishments associated with gaming may be counterproductive / result in the opposite desired outcome Resources mentioned for parents worried about their child's video gamingEric Lanigan's websiteMaking Peace with Gaming online course*The Big Shift online courseBlake BolesA Conversation with Blake Boles on Unschooling and Self-Directed Learning (podcast episode)Asher Talks About the Pros and Cons of Banning Video Games (podcast episode)Eric on FacebookSupport the showConnect with Tilt Parenting Visit Tilt Parenting Take the free 7-Day Challenge Read a chapter of Differently Wired Follow Tilt on Twitter & Instagram

"Our ego is our silent partner--too often with a controlling interest."~Cullen HightowerThe mere mention of the word ego conjures images of self-loving, selfish maniacs who would stop at nothing to bolster their own self-image. Here we make the clear distinction between ego, a person's self-esteem, and an egotist, a person wholly consumer with self-importance. Without the ego, there would be no success. What would drive us to fight through resistance, to risk failure, to persevere? We look at how a person can use their ego aspirationally without letting success get to our heads.In this episode:Why parents act like fools at youth sports gamesThe absurdity of big egos in large companiesWhy ego tends to show itself once you've had successLeaders who say "I" when things go poorly and "we" when things go wellWhy sacred cows exist in organizationsThe higher up you move in an organization, the fewer pats on the back you should expectHow Frank knew he wasn't getting a big tip at Outback SteakhouseHow to convince yourself you are still the underdogWhy we still freak out about posting videos onlineA lack of ego can be just as a big of a problem as an ego out of control

For TeachLab’s fifth Failure to Disrupt Book Club episode, we look back at Justin’s live conversation with regular Audrey Watters and special guests Scot Osterweil, a game designer and creative director for the MIT Education Arcade, and the esteemed games researcher Constance Steinkuehler. They discuss the history of learning games, their current work, and Failure To Disrupt’s Chapter 4: Testing the Learning at Scale Genres: Learning Games.“I've been studying kids in games for a long time. And oftentimes, when you try to tackle issues of how to treat other people online, how to deal with conflict, how to manage your screen time and also stay physically fit, it's very hard to create interventions around games, that kids just don't spit right back out. They just don't take because there are often layers added on top. They're not authentic to the space. In my efforts, and I'm sure people have done better than me, but in my efforts, it always seems to be colonizing and the kids will ignore me, and it comes off as, mom is wagging a finger saying you need to get up off that screen and go stretch.” - Constance Steinkuehler In this episode we’ll talk about:Scot and Constance’s background and edtech storiesSkinnerian learning and behaviorismCategories of learning games“Transfer” in educationThe social and community aspect of gamesExamples of effective game implementationsConnection through esportsLearning social skills through gamesThe industry of learning games Resources and LinksWatch the full Book Club webinar here!Check out Justin Reich’s new book, Failure To Disrupt!Join our self-paced online edX course: Becoming a More Equitable Educator: Mindsets and Practices Transcripthttps://teachlabpodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/bookclub5/transcript Produced by Aimee Corrigan and Garrett BeazleyRecorded and mixed by Garrett Beazley Follow TeachLab:FacebookTwitterYouTube

She has won three Olympic silver medals, four World Championship gold medals and one European title. She's also an incredibly thoughtful person who's collected an amazing amount of wisdom over the years and has distilled it into a brilliant book called Learnings from Five Olympic Games, which you can buy here.Frances was an absolutely brilliant guest and, in common with other Olympians I've interviewed, incredibly and not remotely starry. We talk about: Her life in Cornwall - walking, sea swimming, gig rowing and surfingWhether she has any unfinished business, looking back at her rowing careerThe change in mindset she adopted after Beijing and how it enabled her to return to rowingTogetherness and the Rio 8+ (plus the challenges they went through when the crew was dismantled and seat-raced)Honesty and cohesion in crewsThe Olympic training regimePeriods and hormonesWhether she was able to retain the joy of rowing despite the tough regimeFrances' relationship with the ergo and her tips for erg testsWhether you ever actually enjoy a raceWhat it feels like on the start (and the weird thing about vinegar)Olympic Village life and the differences between the five GamesThe post-Olympic crashLearning not to be the expert in the crewSports psychologyCooking and training as a chef and the Ballymaloe Cookery School.If you're enjoying the podcast, I'd love it if you'd share it with just one person who might enjoy it.

Tim describes his career path from St. Bonaventure University (where he and Brian met in 2004, when Brian was an adviser to the school newspaper's sports department) to his current gig as the national NBA writer for the Washington Post. Tim talks about where he gets story ideas, the difference between covering a team vs. covering an entire league, and how LeBron James is so good in the media. Tim also talks about the differences between college and pro basketball. There is also a lot of Bonaventure talk. Tim describes what it was like to be at the Bonnies' first-four victory over UCLA in this year's NCAA tournament and why that game meant so much to us.

Today's EpisodeIt’s International Podcast Day! One of the best holidays of the year! Ok, it’s not really a holiday, but I love it. Show love to those you know. I also talk about the latest in gaming news. It’s funny that Ubisoft cares about quality. That’s a big surprise. Lately, they have released games that have problems. It’s not No Man’s Sky worthy, but, they’ve had problems. I’m glad they are holding their games back. It’s better to make quality games, than push them out.Anyways, on with the show!Gaming News Pwned:Assassin’s Creed and FarCry Not Returning Until 2017Ubisoft still independentTwitch goes Prime with Twitch PrimeWindows 10 fix to download gamesRainbow Six Siege Starter Edition backGet skins for the Steam Controller and LinkAOC launches a new monitorHomefront: The Revolution has a DLCWasteland 3 is coming, maybeNo Man’s Sky is being investigatedCyberpunk 2077 could be better than the Witcher 3Black Ops 3 gets mod tools?Destiny 2 could come to the PCBF1 ha a single-player and nobody caresAnd more!Gaming Deals:Back to School Sale 2016 DealsCOD: Blops 3 weekend dealCodemasters Publisher DealThe Division Weekend Deal Quotes:Ubisoft got the hint about making great gamesThe worst decision was to be Bad No Man's SkyAt least PC may get Destiny 2Credit: http://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music/track/sci-Support:Like this podcast?

Every year there are some great candidates for the WNBA Most Improved Player award. Some have just gotten better, some have moved to better situations, some are healthier than before, and some are getting more opportunities to show their skills. So which category does Atlanta Dream center Elizabeth Williams fit into? All of the above, thank you very much. Drafted number four overall last year, Williams had an inconsistent rookie season in Connecticut, which ended early with a return of recurring leg and foot problems. She started the season sharing time with Kelsey Bone, but with Bone having an all-star season and coach Anne Donovan struggling to squeeze every win out of the team, she saw her playing time reduced. With a new coaching staff in place and a change in system, Connecticut decided Williams did not fit, and sent her to Atlanta for the fourth pick in this year's draft. The trade worked out really well for Williams, and the Dream. Williams is playing without pain in her troublesome leg and foot problems from the past, and thriving in Michael Cooper's offensive and defensive game plans in Atlanta. It is a pleasure to welcome Elizabeth Williams to the Dishin & Swishin podcast! Even Williams admits surprise in the podcast that with her health history, for her to be second in minutes per game in the entire league right now at over 34 minutes per game. Defense has always been her strength, and with gambling backcourt and wing players like Angel McCoughtry and Layshia Clarendon, Williams is the anchor, swatting shots away at 2.6 per game, also second in the league. She is currently seventh in the league in rebounding at 7.6 per game. Some of the topics covered in the podcast include: Being healthy, the better situation in Atlanta and enjoying her roleThe playoff picture, single game eliminations and approaching regular season gamesThe return of back to the basket posts to the WNBA

You're going to be hearing much more about Save Against Fear in the future! In this episode, Grant, Peter, and Branden (but mostly Branden) explain the continuous plot structure used in almost all movie scripts. (See our full show notes for a copy of that outline!) Then, Branden walks us through creating an actual plot for a game using the outline he laid out in the first half of the episode.
