Qasar Younis is the co-founder and CEO of Applied Intuition, a $15 billion AI company that adds intelligence to cars, tractors, planes, submarines, and other vehicles—essentially, Tesla or Waymo without the hardware. He was previously COO of Y Combinator, started his career as an engineer at GM and Bosch, and was born on a farm in Pakistan.We discuss:1. Why the biggest AI revolution will play out in mining, farming, construction, and trucking over the next 5 to 10 years, not in software2. Why Qasar intentionally stayed under the radar for nearly a decade while building Applied Intuition, and why most founders shouldn't do that3. The truth about China's AI capabilities and why comparisons to American companies are fundamentally flawed4. The company values that drive Applied Intuition: speed above everything, laugh a lot, half the work is follow-up, never disappoint the customer5. The biggest lessons from Qasar's stint as YC's COO, including that the most successful companies show traction very early6.

FULL STREAM### March 2: Outbreak of War and Regional Volatility (1)XERXES I OF PERSIAHeadline: The Fog of War Descends Following US-Israeli Strikes on Iran (2)Summary: This file covers the chaotic initial hours of the war with Iranfollowing significant US and Israeli military strikes. Host John Batchelor and guests analyze the "long war" perspective, noting that while President Trump anticipates a conflict lasting four to five weeks, significant concerns exist regarding the absence of a ground game for regime change. The conflict has caused immediate global economic shockwaves, with oil and natural gas prices spiking as Qatari and Saudi energy production faces Iranian missile and drone threats. Reports of "friendly fire" emerge from Kuwait, where three American F-15s were downed by allied air defenses. Simultaneously, an "open war" has erupted on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, as Pakistan launches air strikes against the Taliban, claiming to have killed their supreme leader. Inside Iran, thousands of young people are reportedly taking to the streets to support the regime's collapse.

FULL STREAM### March 3: European Instability and Widening Conflict (5)1638 PERSIAHeadline: Europe Faces Energy Panic as Middle East War Intensifies(6)Summary: On the second day of the conflict, the focus shifts to Europe's lack of readiness for the resulting 50% spike in natural gas prices and rising inflation. Judy Dempsey highlights the "discombobulated" leadership within the EU and NATO as they struggle to coordinate a response. While French President Macron proposes a shared nuclear umbrella, German Chancellor Scholz meets with President Trump to seek clarity on war aims. Domestically, US polls indicate a lack of public support for the war, with only 27% of voters favoring the intervention. The Afghanistan-Pakistanconflict remains intense as Pakistan targets abandoned US equipment and militant camps. In Iraq, Iranian-backed militias have launched at least 16 drone attacks against US bases, though Baghdad remains relatively quiet as Iran attempts to maintain its political hooks in the Iraqi government.

This episode includes discussion of sensitive topics, including sexual assault and violence, that some listeners may find distressing. Please take care while listening, and feel free to pause or step away if you need to.At fifteen, Naz Shah was forced into a marriage thousands of miles from home. Years earlier, she had been sent from Bradford to rural Pakistan, pulled out of school and dropped into a life that felt a world away from the one she had known.But the road that would eventually lead her to Westminster begins much earlier. It starts in a Bradford childhood shaped by poverty, upheaval and a mother trying desperately to hold her family together after being abandoned and left dangerously vulnerable.In this episode of Full Disclosure, James O'Brien sits down with Shah to explore the experiences that shaped her life. She recalls growing up amid instability, belongings packed into black bin liners, and the powerful expectations around honour and reputation that governed the choices available to women and girls.As the conversation unfolds, Naz reflects on the moment her childhood ended and the shock that followed her return to Britain. A family crisis would eventually lead to her mother being imprisoned for killing the man who had controlled and abused her for years, a truth that emerged only gradually and changed the course of Naz's life.This is a conversation about survival, silence and the weight of honour. How does a girl who left school at twelve find her way to Parliament? And what happens when the story behind a family tragedy finally comes into the light?Find out more about Honoured by Naz Shah here Additional support:If you've been affected by anything you've heard in this episode, please take a moment to read the resources listed: Rape Crisis, Women's Aid, Victim SupportEXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal -> https://nordvpn.com/fulldisclosure Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee

Daniyal Mueenuddin grew up in two vastly different worlds. As a child, he lived with his paternal relatives in Lahore, Pakistan. As a teenager, he spent summers on his maternal family's farm in Elroy, Wis. A product of both of those worlds, Mueenuddin sees himself as a translator of sorts. He intimately knows both U.S. and Pakistani culture — particularly the more rural, faintly feudal villages in southern Pakistan, where he now farms. He knows the distinctives and the overlaps between East and West, between rich and poor, between scarcity and comfort. He's channeled all of his knowledge into his new novel. Set largely in rural Pakistan, “This is Where the Serpent Lives” tells four interwoven stories that contrast the lives of servants desperate to escape their class, and the wealthy, Westernized elites who employ them. This week on Big Books and Bold Ideas, Kerri Miller talks with Mueenuddin about how his disparate childhood environments shaped his writing, what it's like to constantly code-switch as he travels between his farm in Pakistan and his current home in Oslo, and why the class system survives the fading of Pakistani feudalism. Guest: Daniyel Mueenuddin's first book, a collection of stories titled “In Other Rooms, Other Wonders” was a finalist for the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize. His new book — his first novel — is “This is Where the Serpent Lives.” Subscribe to the Thread newsletter for the latest book and author news and must-read recommendations.Subscribe to Big Books and Bold Ideas with Kerri Miller on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, RSS or anywhere you get your podcasts.

It's International Women's Day on Sunday 8 March, and our guest is the Labour Member of Parliament for Bradford West, Naz Shah. Naz tells Gyles her extraordinary story; about her father, who left the family when she was only six years old, leaving the children and their mother in poverty, insecurity and sometimes squalor. About her mother, who was abused by two men - first by her husband, and then by a neighbour who seemed to be offering help and support, but who actually wanted sex. Naz tells Gyles about being sent away to Pakistan as a 13 year-old, and forced into an arranged marriage with her first cousin. She talks about the concept of 'izzat', or honour, which runs so deeply through this traditional and conservative community. She talks about the dramatic events that happened when her mother finally snapped, and gave her abuser a fatal dinner which changed everything.This is a shocking story about the vulnerabilty, bravery and strength of women.Naz Shah's book, 'Honoured: Survival, Strength and My Path to Politics' is out now, and available here.Don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube here.

In May 1974 India successfully detonated its first atomic device. It had been developed in secret with the codename Smiling Buddha. India called it a peaceful nuclear explosion, though the experimental device was in effect a plutonium bomb. The test was seen as a triumph of Indian science and technology, but it led to the suspension of international nuclear cooperation with India, and spurred Pakistan to speed up development of its own nuclear bomb. Dr SK Sikka, who was one of India's leading nuclear scientists, spoke to Alex Last in 2018 about his role in the secret project. Dr Sikka died in 2023 at the age of 82.

At the moment, organic cotton farmers in countries such as India and Pakistan earn an average of just $1000 a year. Meanwhile, premiums are stacking up through the supply chain, brands are charging more at retail, but the people actually growing the crop see only a fraction of the value. In this episode of Ecotextile Talks, host Philip Berman talks to Bart Vollaard from the Organic Cotton Accelerator (OCA) about why he believes the current premium model isn't delivering for the farmers it's supposed to support, and reveals OCA's ambitious new strategy to change that. They discuss how a pioneering new farm fund could decouple farmer income from the unpredictability of market premiums, why OCA is broadening its focus beyond economics into the social and environmental realities of farming life, and what it will take to move organic cotton beyond its stubborn 2.5% share of global production. With 100,000 farmers across 70+ partners, OCA has the data and the relationships to make this work. But as Bart explains, it won't happen without more brands stepping up.

But even as Tehran projects stability, I'll break down the military math and explain why some hard-liners may be uneasy with what looks like dynastic succession. Spain denies U.S. forces access to key military bases tied to the Iran campaign, exposing cracks inside the Western alliance. Pakistan and Afghanistan trade cross-border strikes for a fifth straight day, raising the risk of further regional instability. Opposition leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado says she plans to return to Venezuela in the coming weeks with elections in sight.

I'm your China travel guide in exile, Missionary Ben. Follow me on Twitter/X (@chinaadventures) where I share a new Chinese city or county to pray for every single day of the week. Feel free to email anytime: chinacompass @ privacyport.com. Visit PrayGiveGo.us for Patreon, Substack, Books & everything else! Why the Prison Pulpit? The goal is to remind people to pray for persecuted believers as Hebrews 13:3 teaches: “Remember those who are in prison, as bound with them.” We’ve looked at Wang Yi and Early Rain Church’s writings in the aftermath of their arrest and attack in 2018, but I’ve also regularly turned to other persecuted ministers who have gone before, such as Richard Wurmbrand, to give us a voice literally from prison. A lot has happened in the Middle East this week. There is much to pray for, but I want to focus specifically on reminding us all to pray for the believers in the various countries in the middle of (or even in the periphery of) the current conflict: Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Oman, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Israel, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates (those are just off the top of my head, although I think that covers most of the nations either bordering Iran or somehow involved in the conflict). I took a few minutes to put these nations into four groups, based on the similarities as to how they treat local Christians, or missionaries, within their borders. (Note: I am not an “expert” on the Middle East).

Stop the criminal war of aggression against Iran! / Turkish miners break through gendarmerie barricade, seizing mine / With Trump's backing, Pakistan wages “open war” on Afghanistan

We tend to think of populist leaders around the world as disruptive—skeptical of international institutions, impatient for change, and prone to upending foreign policy norms.But a new book by scholars Sandra Destradi and Johannes Plagemann argues that—while populists can have dramatic impacts on foreign policy—the extent of change depends on two key factors: the personalization of foreign policy and leaders' ability to use foreign policy as a tool of domestic political mobilization.The book is called Populism and Foreign Policy, and it looks at transitions from non-populist to populist governments in Bolivia, the Philippines, Turkey, and India. To talk more about the book's findings—especially as they relate to Indian foreign policy—Sandra Destradi joins Milan on the show this week.

Les journalistes et experts de RFI répondent également à vos questions sur les combats entre l'Afghanistan et le Pakistan, l'annulation de la peine de Jimmy Laï à Hong Kong et la possible restriction des réseaux sociaux en RDC.  Iran : pendant combien de temps le détroit d'Ormuz peut-il être bloqué ?  Avec le blocage du détroit d'Ormuz par l'Iran, passage stratégique pour près d'un tiers du pétrole mondial, les marchés redoutent une flambée des prix du pétrole. Cette crise fait craindre une hausse des coûts de l'énergie à l'échelle internationale, avec des répercussions possibles sur l'inflation, les transports et l'économie mondiale. Pourquoi la fermeture du détroit d'Ormuz pèse-t-elle autant sur les marchés mondiaux ? Si le blocus dure dans le temps, quelles seraient les conséquences économiques mondiales ?   Avec Stéphane Geneste, journaliste au service économie de RFI, présente la chronique « Aujourd'hui l'économie ».      Afghanistan – Pakistan : se dirige-t-on vers «une guerre ouverte» ?  Après des frappes afghanes lancées à sa frontière, le 26 février 2026, le Pakistan a déclaré une « guerre ouverte » à l'Afghanistan. Plus de 8 000 Afghans ont été contraints de fuir leur domicile en raison des affrontements frontaliers entre les forces afghanes et l'armée pakistanaise. Quelles sont les raisons de ce conflit entre les deux pays ? Des négociations sont-elles encore possibles pour calmer la situation ?   Avec Gilles Boquérat, chercheur associé à la Fondation pour la recherche stratégique.      Hong-Kong : pourquoi Jimmy Laï reste-t-il en prison, malgré l'annulation de sa peine ?   À Hong Kong, Jimmy Laï a été condamné à 20 ans de prison en vertu de la loi sur la sécurité nationale imposée par Pékin, après avoir été reconnu coupable de complot et de collusion avec des forces étrangères. Comment expliquer cette décision de la Haute Cour de Hongkong ? Est-ce que l'annulation de cette condamnation va réellement changer la situation de Jimmy Laï, également condamné pour sédition et collusion avec l'étranger ?   Avec Clea Broadhurst, correspondante permanente de RFI à Pékin.       RDC : les réseaux sociaux vont-ils être davantage encadrés par le pouvoir ?  En République démocratique du Congo, les autorités ont décidé de sévir contre ce qu'elles qualifient de dérives sur les réseaux sociaux. Sur instruction du président Félix Tshisekedi, le ministre de la Justice a demandé au Parquet de poursuivre systématiquement les infractions commises en ligne, diffamation, propagation de fausses nouvelles, harcèlement, incitation à la haine ou atteinte à la dignité, en appliquant la loi avec rigueur. Quelle est la principale raison avancée par le président congolais pour restreindre l'usage des réseaux sociaux ? Comment compte-t-il s'y prendre ? Pourquoi le code numérique adopté en RDC est-il considéré insuffisant par Félix Tshisekedi pour encadrer les réseaux sociaux ?    Avec Patient Ligodi, journaliste au service Afrique de RFI.  

En Marge de l‘actualités focalisé à juste titre sur la guerre en Iran, il est un autre conflit moins médiatisé. Cela fait 6 jours Pakistan, qui est une puissance nucléaire, a déclaré être en guerre ouverte avec son voisin l'Afghanistan. Islamabad a procédé à plusieurs frappes sur Kaboul Kandahar et le sud-est de l'Afghanistan, en réponse à une attaque survenue la veille contre des bases militaires pakistanaises, le 27 février dernier. Même si l'intensité des affrontements semble avoir diminué il n'y a aucun signe que les deux belligérants cherchent à faire marche arrière. Ces affrontements ont tué au moins 42 civils, et fait 104 blessés, du côté afghan, a affirmé, mardi 3 mars, selon la Mission d'assistance des Nations unies en Afghanistan. Cette rivalité entre les deux voisins ne date pas d'hier et l'on se demande ce soir si le Pakistan et l'Aghanistan sont voué à être irréconciliable.

How attacks in the Middle East sent oil prices up 10% and why the Strait of Hormuz matters so much, with roughly 20% of the world's oil flowing through that narrow passage. Higher fossil fuel prices could accelerate renewables — but also risk boosting inflation and slowing clean energy investment. Support The Clean Energy Show on Patreon. Balcony solar is catching on in the U.S., with Utah leading and 28 other states considering legislation. Inspired by Germany's four million plug-in systems, these affordable panels can plug into a standard outlet and cover up to 15–20% of a household's electricity use. We dive into a promising new battery paper in Nature exploring higher energy density, faster charging, and fewer raw materials — with the usual reminder that lab success doesn't guarantee mass production. A New Jersey data centre pairs rooftop solar with 23 MWh of battery storage, showing how large facilities can boost energy independence while supporting the grid. Plus: real-world data from Montreal shows electric semi-trucks could save fleets about $160,000 per truck over six years compared to diesel. In the Lightning Round: Tesla begins official sales in Morocco, BYD heads to Pakistan, a major Greenpeace court ruling, record U.S. battery installations, China's solar surge, nuclear plants vs. jellyfish, and Toyota Canada deploying humanoid robots in RAV4 production. Listener mail covers Nova Scotia's proposed EV fees and 12-volt battery frustrations in a Hyundai Kona — along with practical tips to avoid getting stranded.

Feel free to email anytime: chinacompass @ privacyport.com. Visit PrayGiveGo.us for Patreon, Substack, Books & everything else! Why the Prison Pulpit? The goal is to remind people to pray for persecuted believers as Hebrews 13:3 teaches: “Remember those who are in prison, as bound with them.” We’ve looked at Wang Yi and Early Rain Church’s writings in the aftermath of their arrest and attack in 2018, but I’ve also regularly turned to other persecuted ministers who have gone before, such as Richard Wurmbrand, to give us a voice literally from prison. A lot has happened in the Middle East this week. There is much to pray for, but I want to focus specifically on reminding us all to pray for the believers in the various countries in the middle of (or even in the periphery of) the current conflict: Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Oman, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Israel, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates (those are just off the top of my head, although I think that covers most of the nations either bordering Iran or somehow involved in the conflict). I took a few minutes to put these nations into four groups, based on the similarities as to how they treat local Christians, or missionaries, within their borders.

Miguel is joined on the podcast by Priyansh, a University of Toronto PhD candidate and new co-host of The End of Sport Podcast. In this episode, Priyansh outlines cricket's spread through British colonialism, elite club patronage, and later mass popularity in India via television and commercialization, noting the earlier prominence of field hockey and persistent class and regional inequalities. Furthermore, Miguel and Priyansh discuss Modi-era Hindu nationalist institutional capture of Indian cricket (BCCI), symbolic nationalism around stadium naming, and cricket's geopolitical implications, including Bangladesh being removed from the T20 World Cup amid tensions and Pakistan's threatened boycott of the India match, later reversed after talks. Priyansh connects this to state-capital consolidation, Indian corporate power in global cricket leagues, India's Olympic ambitions, and revisits C.L.R.

Pakistani military jets have hit targets inside Afghanistan, bombing parts of Kabul, Kandahar and Paktia, as open military conflict surged between the two countries. Pakistan's Defence Minister, Khawaja Muhammad Asif, said Islamabad's patience had run out and declared the neighbours at "open war" following months of tit-for-tat clashes and heavy losses for both sides.
