Patenting for InventorsPatent Pools: Cooperation That Looks Like Competition. Ep. 164Ever wonder how companies that compete fiercely in the marketplace somehow manage to share patents without constantly suing each other? That's where patent pools come in. They're one of the most misunderstood, quietly powerful tools in tech, standards, and licensing, and they shape everything from streaming video to smartphones to Wi-Fi without most people ever noticing. Patent pools can lower litigation risk, speed up adoption of new technologies, and at the same time create serious leverage for the companies that control them. If you're an inventor or startup operating anywhere near a technical standard, understanding how patent pools work...

Everything Jewish - 10 Minutes at a TimeThe Book of Chronicles (Chronicles I and II) in 10 MinutesEvery great story deserves an encore. The Book of Chronicles — Divrei Hayamim — retells the entire biblical saga from Adam to the return from exile, but with a new heartbeat: hope. In this episode, we revisit familiar names and epic moments through a lens of redemption. The focus shifts from failure to faith, from chaos to covenant, from kings who faltered to a people who endured. With genealogies that trace every soul back to creation, Chronicles reminds us that history isn't just what happened — it's what it means. As the Tanakh's final words echo, we're left with a call to rebuil...

2026-01-2809 minEverything Jewish - 10 Minutes at a TimeThe Book of Genesis in 10 MinutesIn the beginning… there was drama. In this episode, we dive into The Book of Genesis, the origin story of everything — from galaxies to garden fruit. It's the Torah's opening act, where creation, temptation, and sibling rivalry share the same stage. We'll meet Adam and Eve, Noah and his floating zoo, Abraham and Sarah blazing trails of faith, and Jacob wrestling his way into history. But Genesis isn't just about beginnings — it's about patterns: chaos and order, exile and return, promise and patience. It's the story of how a family became a people, how covenant replaced chaos, and how the un...

Classic Books in 30 Minutes: Western and World Literature for Busy PeopleParadise Lost by John Milton (1667/1674)Before there was fantasy, there was Paradise Lost — a cosmic epic where Heaven, Hell, and the human heart collide. In this episode, we explore John Milton's 17th-century masterpiece, where Satan's rebellion, Adam and Eve's fall, and the struggle between pride and obedience unfold like the world's first blockbuster drama. Written in thunderous blank verse after Milton went blind, it's both poetry and prophecy — asking what freedom really means when even angels can fall. We'll trace how Milton turned the story of Genesis into a meditation on ambition, justice, and love's endurance after loss. It's not just the tale of huma...
2025-11-2628 minClassic Books in 30 Minutes: Western and World Literature for Busy PeopleThe Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith (1776)What makes nations rich, and why do some economies thrive while others falter? In The Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith lays the foundation for modern economics, exploring how trade, labor, and self-interest shape prosperity. Far from a dry textbook, it's a groundbreaking vision of how markets work—introducing ideas like the "invisible hand" that still echo in today's debates about capitalism, inequality, and globalization. Smith wasn't just analyzing numbers; he was asking what kind of system best serves society and fuels human progress. If you've ever wanted to understand the roots of how our economic world works—and why it s...
