The Memory Illusion, about false memories, Bi, about bisexuality, and her new book, that you should definitely go order now, called Green Crime, which is a study of the dark underworld of poachers, illegal gold miners, corporate frauds, hip men, and all kinds of other environmental criminals.

Julia is a brilliant and kind-hearted person with whom I got the chance to have many great conversations with on and off the mic.

This was an honor and a pleasure.

And now a quick few second mention of each sponsor.

Check them out in the description or at lexfriedman.com slash sponsors.

It is in fact the best way to support this podcast.

We got Shopify for selling stuff online, BetterHelp for mental health, Element for electrolytes, and AG1 for my daily multivitamin.

Choose wisely, my friends.

And now onto the full ad reads.

I try to make them interesting, but if you skip, please still check out the sponsors.

I enjoy their stuff.

Maybe you will too.

To get in touch with me, for whatever reason, go to letstreamin.com slash contact.

All right, let's go.

This episode is brought to you by Shopify, a platform designed for anyone to sell anywhere with a great looking online store.

Obviously, it's an incredible platform for selling stuff, but again, I will reiterate, as I do often, as we did in the DHH episode, what's also incredible is the implementation of the infrastructure, how the thing is built.

The legendary, well-documented Black Friday, I believe in 2021, Shopify handled 30 terabytes of data every minute.

32 plus million requests per minute hit the servers.

11 million MySQL queries per second were processed.

And all of that mostly Ruby on Rails.
