Since you were a child you have heard that it is important to wash your hands. But even if you do, you may not be doing it correctly and you may be missing some key spots. This episode begins by explaining some often overlooked details of washing your hands. https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/adult-health/in-depth/hand-washing/art-20046253 There is a human need for fun. And there are a million ways to indulge yourself including amusement parks, board games, sports, toys, festivals, video games or whatever else you can think of. How these fun things came to be makes for a very interesting story. Here to tell it is Russ Frushtick who has written about games and technology for over a decade. Russ is co-founder of Vox Media's gaming site called Polygon (www.polygon.com) and he is author of The Book of Fun: An illustrated History of Having a Good Time (https://amzn.to/3H2nBdn). A lot has been learned in recent years about sleep – how getting enough of it is crucial and how lack of sleep has some significant negative consequences. Here to explain some important intel on sleep and why it is so important is neurologist Dr. Guy Leschziner, who is head of The Sleep Disorders Centre in London and author of the book, The Nocturnal Brain: Nightmares, Neuroscience and the Secret World of Sleep (https://amzn.to/2lSckr0). If you care to understand just how important sleep is for your health, you need to listen to this important discussion. If you don't like where you work, is it better to quit now or stay at least until you find another job? The answer seems to depend on just how much you hate your job. Listen as I reveal the negative consequences of staying at a job that you hate. They are probably worse than you imagined. https://news.osu.edu/lousy-jobs-hurt-your-health-by-the-time-youre-in-your-40s/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for March 14, 2025 is: bamboozle • bam-BOO-zul • verb To bamboozle someone is to deceive, trick, or confuse them. // The salesperson bamboozled us into getting a more expensive item than we had planned to buy. See the entry > Examples: "'We're not trying to make a perfect film that's, like, got a twist: Oh my God, the coach is a ghost! We're not out to bamboozle audiences or get awards or anything,' [Taika] Waititi told Polygon. The director continued, 'We want to make a nice movie, a true story about a football team, and the only message is, "Be happy and don't live in the past."'" — Monica Mercuri, Forbes, 20 Feb. 2024 Did you know? In 1710, Irish author Jonathan Swift wrote an article on "the continual Corruption of our English Tongue" in which he complained of "the Choice of certain Words invented by some pretty Fellows." (Note that pretty originally meant "artful, clever.") Among the inventions Swift disliked was bamboozle, which was used by contemporary criminals. Beyond those who favored the word, little is known of its early days, but the word has clearly defied Swift's assertion that "All new affected Modes of Speech ... are the first perishing Parts in any Language." With its first syllable like a sound effect, bamboozle hints at mystification or magic when it is used to mean "to confuse, frustrate, or perplex," as in "The batters were bamboozled by the pitcher's dazzling curveball."

Crypto derivatives exchange Bybit just became the latest victim of North Korea's elite hacking unit, the Lazarus Group. They didn't brute-force their way in. They didn't exploit some obscure vulnerability. Instead, they tricked a trusted developer, slipped in malicious code, and took off with a fortune. How did this happen? Why was $1.5 billion sitting in a single wallet? What mistakes did Bybit and Safe make? And, more importantly, what needs to change to stop this from happening again? This week, Mudit Gupta, chief information security officer at Polygon, joins Unchained to expose the security failures, the sophisticated tactics Lazarus used, and why crypto still hasn't learned its lesson. Show highlights: 2:11 Mudit's experience with North Korea's Lazarus 3:24 How Lazarus perpetrated the $1.5 billion hack 5:55 Why Lazarus relies on social engineering over technical exploits 7:34 Why Bybit was so specifically targeted by the hackers 10:02 What Bybit should have done to prevent the exploit 13:12 Why Mudit believes there was “no reason” to hold so much ETH in one single wallet 15:57 Who should be a signer in multisigs 17:46 How to prevent using a malicious website 19:13 Why Safe should have done things differently, according to Mudit 19:55 How Bybit and Safe handled crisis communication 24:20 Mudit's must-know security tips for protecting your crypto Visit our website for breaking news, analysis, op-eds, articles to learn about crypto, and much more: unchainedcrypto.com Thank you to our sponsors!

WARNING: Do not listen to this episode unless you have seen the 2025 Marvel Animation release "Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man" or do not mind hearing key plot points. Spider-Man is a character that has an extensive animation history. Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is the newest entry in animation of the wall-crawler. When the show was originally announced, it was supposed to be a “prequel” of the Spider-Man character portrayed by Tom Holland in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, during production, the decision was made to have this show exist in its own universe. Still, there are many similarities and easter eggs referencing the MCU. Does this add or detract from this animated series? Swara Salih returns to the podcast and is named the Hall of Justice “Spider-Man” insider. Salih is a freelance writer and podcaster who has written for But Why Tho?, io9, Polygon, The New Arab, and The Nerds of Color, and co-hosts The Middle Geeks podcast. In this episode, they discuss the disconnection yet similarities from the MCU. They also discuss the fantastic artwork and voice acting. They discuss various supporting characters and their role in the show.

Bitcoin has dropped below $84,000, erasing the post-election rally as traders hedge against further declines. The S&P 500 lost $500 billion in one hour due to Trump's trade war with the EU.

Rowan Zeoli and Caeylin Ellis of the independent tabletop gaming news site Rascal join Jordan to chat about the founding of the site, taking games journalism seriously, and the future of gaming.Rascal News was founded a year ago by 3 tabletop journalists who had worked for Polygon, Dicebreaker, Gizmodo, and I09. As those organisations have been shuttering their tabletop news coverage and firing professional journalists Rascal has sought to create an online space that is tackling major news stories across the tabletop industry.From the major business moves of massive companies like Hasbro Wizards of the Coast and Games Workshop to the smaller scale stories like union workers striking at Vallejo paints, and plenty of stuff in between, Rascal is looking to become a bastion of independent, honest journalism.[RASCAL NEWS]https://www.rascal.news/#RascalNews #Rascal #TTRPG #RPG #gaming _____________________________ [ ELEMENT GAMES AFFILIATE LINK ]https://elementgames.co.uk/?d=11216[ PATREON ]https://www.patreon.com/jordansorcery[ KO-FI ]https://ko-fi.com/jordansorcery[ YOUTUBE CHANNELS ]History & Editorial: https://youtube.com/ @jordansorceryLongform Conversation: https://youtube.com/ @JordanSorceryPods  [ WEBSITE ]https://jordansorcery.com/_____________________________ Art, Music, and Copyright: Images used belong to their respective copyright owners Jordan Sorcery Theme by Joylin Music Jordan Sorcery Heraldry by Becka Moor Jordan Sorcery Heraldry and Theme copyright @jordansorcerySupport the show

Is 2025 the official END of all the corporate-owned geek and gaming websites that have been demonizing fandoms for the past decade plus? Those left standing seem to be betting heavily on Trump outrage, but it's not 2017 anymore. It doesn't work like it used to. And this might be the actual END of all of the weird politics in geek spaces, and sites like The Mary Sue, Kotaku and Polygon.

Prior to the release of his book Don Quixote on 16th January, 1605, Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes had previously been a soldier, a royal messenger, a tax collector and – for a spell – a slave. But perseverance paid off for the aspiring author who, at the age of 57, produced a book that has been called “the greatest piece of literature ever written”. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly discuss why Cervantes' poetry and plays weren't as successful as his first novel; reveal how his characters became embedded in the English language; and explain why Don Quixote is really just Shrek but 400 years earlier.   Further Reading: • ‘Disney's many failed attempts to bring Don Quixote to the screen' (Polygon, 2020): https://www.polygon.com/entertainment/2020/9/15/21436961/disneys-failed-attempts-to-bring-don-quixote-to-the-screen • ‘No Ordinary Man - The Life and Times of Miguel de Cervantes' (Dover Publishing, 2006): https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/No_Ordinary_Man/CBHLqNlLuEMC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=Miguel+de+Cervantes&printsec=frontcover • ‘Why should you read "Don Quixote"?'

This special live edition of Rehash was recorded during Devcon7 in Bangkok, Thailand. The episode was initially set to feature a debate between David Silverman (SVP, Strategic Product Initiatives at Polygon) and Kelvin from Optimism on rollups, but a last-minute change led to an in-depth discussion on rollups, interoperability, and scalability in Ethereum with special co-host Jonah Erlich (Co-founder of Den and previously Rehash guest on S8 E1). David dives into the technical nuances of rollups, including optimistic and ZK rollups, the challenges of decentralization, and Polygon's approach with the AggLayer. He also touches on future developments in Web3, interoperability solutions, and rollup decentralization, accompanied by a spicy twist as David and Jonah sample hot sauces throughout the discussion.

Traditional KYC and AML regulations have often forced companies to comply, without having the right tools to do so. Simply storing users' personal information led to the creation of security honeypots which haven't gone unnoticed by hackers. Web3 solutions like Privado ID aim to cryptographically prove certain traits from a user's personal data, without disclosing it to the enquirer. This is usually made possible through zero knowledge proofs which allow users to store their personal data on their own device and only exchange verifiable credentials with trusted issuers. City of Buenos Aires has adopted a similar implementation through their Quark ID system, a digital trust framework that creates a new digital identity system, giving people control over their information.Topics covered in this episode:Evin's background and founding DiscoPolygon ID acquisition and blockchain agnostic decentralized IDsDiego's background, from private to public practicePrivado ID and its registry of reputation issuersUse cases, DevEx and UXKYC and regulationsBuenos Aires digital ID systemReal world applications of Quark IDUX frictions and solutionsZK verificationSocietal impact and adoptionEthical considerations around DIDsThe role of blockchains in other real world applicationsEpisode links:Evin McMullen on XDiego Fernandez on XPrivado ID on XQuark ID on XSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.
