| | | |  | | | | Get woke, grads | | The Best 2016 Commencement Speeches, From Obama's to Spike Lee's | | Tasked with giving this herd, somewhere between millennials and Generation Z, good advice, commencement speakers try their best to be knowledgeable and at least somewhat entertaining without embarrassing themselves. Here's a sampling from those who got it right. | | | | | | | | |  | Bloomberg's new podcast, "Material World," examines the universe of consumable things. In this episode, hosts Lindsey Rupp and Jenny Kaplan discuss why so many people want their purchases to be one-of-a-kind and artisanal. It's a trend that's helping small, local businesses and hurting old standbys like MillerCoors and Kellogg's. Is "craft" just another meaningless marketing term? Can you even tell the difference? | | | | |  | How a legendary bond trader from Salomon Brothers brokered a do-or-die deal that reshaped U.S.-Saudi relations for generations. | | | | |  | For $1,000 a day, David Markovich will teach the olds in your office how to use Slack, the group messaging service that has seemingly taken over certain workplaces (if you're of a certain age). | | | | |  | In advance of the Austin Formula 1 competition, 24-year-old Alexander Rossi opens up about about how he prepares for a race (it's way more physical than you'd think), why his compatriots just don't get F1 racing yet, and the cleansing power of cucumber. | | | | |  | In its relentless pursuit for growth, Uber needs new drivers, many of whom need cars. To help them get started, Uber has been offering short-term leases since July 2015 through a wholly owned Delaware-based subsidiary called Xchange Leasing, LLC. It partners with auto dealerships, advertises to drivers, manages risk, and even pays repo men to chase down cars whose drivers aren't making their payments. | | | | | | | | They Finally Fixed the Oven | | You Can Now Rent (and Cook in!) Julia Child's Provence Cottage | | In the 1970s, the culinary icon habitually lent the home to friends, who had access to her recipes, cookware, and a black book filled with her local recommendations. Now, 40 years later, "La Peetch" is joining a collection of two million-dollar-plus homes available for rent on Airbnb. Julia's black book is still there… but the hidden cameras will be watching. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
