Why are we wasting spaghetti? It's delicious! We shouldn't be throwing it at the wall...Well Ryan "Big Brain" Lucht definitely is a big time lover of playing with food. And he makes a compelling argument for spaghetti testing, which delved into conversations into prioritization frameworks, should we TRY to "test everything," and other topics.We got into:-Spaghetti testing (Should you do it? Or nah?)- Pure experimentation jobs are hard. And you'll have to fight a LOT.

Procurorii europeni au anunțat joi că sunt pe urmele unei  fraude de peste o jumătate de miliard de euro, care implică „mai multe” grupuri mafiote. Este una dintre cele mai complexe acțiuni desfășurate de instituția condusă de Laura Codruța Kovesi. În același timp, arată și amploarea fenomenului de fraudare a TVA prin operațiuni transfrontaliere. Mai bine de 160 de percheziții au fost efectuate joi în mai multe țări, printre care Bulgaria, Croația, Cipru, Cehia, Italia, Luxemburg, Țările de Jos, Slovacia,  Spania, precum și în țări din afara UE, a anunțat Parchetul European (EPPO), totul, în cadrul unei operațiuni cu numele de cod „Moby Dick”.Potrivit unor surse apropiate anchetei, aceasta a vizat unele dintre cele mai brutale grupuri mafiote, Camorra și Cosa Nostra din Italia, potrivit unei persoane familiarizate cu ancheta, citate de Politico.Este vorba despre o așa-numită operațiune de tip carusel.Suspecții au înființat companii în Italia și în alte state membre ale UE, precum și în țări din afara UE, pentru a comercializa mărfurile printr-un lanț fraudulos de comercianți care mai apoi dispar fără a-și îndeplini obligațiile fiscale. Alte companii din lanțul fraudulos solicită ulterior rambursări de TVA de la autoritățile fiscale naționale.Frauda tip carusel de TVA profită de normele UE privind tranzacțiile transfrontaliere dintre statele sale membre, deoarece acestea sunt scutite de taxa pe valoarea adăugată.Simplificând, totul pleacă de la o companie care acționează aparent în regulă într-un stat membru.Aceasta transmite bunuri către o companie din alt stat membru fără să plătească TVA. La un moment dat, în această schemă va interveni o firmă fantomă, care dispare. Și, în final, vom avea o companie care va solicita rambursarea TVA-ului ce nu a fost plătit niciodată.Însă grupările nu se mulțumesc doar să încaseze TVA-ul fraudat. Ele obțin și un profit suplimentar din plasarea bunurilor pe piață.Potrivit șefei EPPO, Laura Codruța Kövesi, „Moby Dick este o investigație definitorie pentru instituția europeană, întrucât demonstrează implicarea puternică a grupurilor criminale organizate în fraudarea bugetului UE.„Moby Dick” arată că nu există două lumi criminale separate, a adăugat Kövesi. „Lumea criminalilor cu adevărat răi și periculoși care fac contrabandă cu droguri, fac trafic de oameni pe de o parte; și lumea criminalilor cu guler alb, „doar” corupând și spălând bani, pe de altă parte.” Dincolo de pagubele colosale, aceste practci constituie amenințări la adresa securității interne a Uniunii Europene.Potrivit EPPO, Europa pierde în jur de 50 de miliarde de euro pe an din cauza acestui tip de criminalitate financiară, al operațiunilor de tip carusel. Sumele astfel câștigate ajung să finanțeze alte tipuri de activități criminale.Spre comparație, comerțul ilegal de droguri al blocului este evaluat la aproximativ 30 de miliarde de euro anual, potrivit Agenției UE pentru Droguri. Ascultați rubrica ”Eurocronica”, cu Ovidiu Nahoi, în fiecare zi, de luni până vineri, de la 8.45 și în reluare duminica, de la 15.00, numai la RFI România

Het gebruik van de Engelse taal is wijdverspreid op onze Hoge Scholen en Universiteiten en als het aan Minister van Onderwijs Eppo Bruins ligt wordt daar paal en perk aan gesteld. Dit wil hij bereiken door strengere voorwaarden te stellen aan opleidingen voor zij Engels als dominante taal mogen gebruiken.

Spraakmaker is Eppo van Nispen. In het Mediaforum zijn Bas van Sluis en Martha Riemsma tegen gast. Met in Stand.nl de stelling: ‘We moeten meer respect hebben voor het zebrapad'. Daarnaast hebben we het over de kinderpostzegels en Russische spionageschepen in Nederlandse wateren.

Filmcommissies in de provincies Friesland, Groningen, Drenthe, Limburg en Zeeland hebben een gedragscode gelanceerd naar aanleiding van de ophef rondom de serie over Marianna Vaatstra, die op 16-jarige leeftijd is vermoord bij het Friese Veenklooster. De makers van ‘Een van ons' zouden rekening moeten hebben gehouden met de gevoeligheden rondom de zaak, voornamelijk voor de nabestaanden en de omgeving. Daarnaast zouden de nabestaanden niet zijn ingelicht over het maken van deze serie. Martha Riemsma, binnenkort algemeen directeur van het ANP, vindt het een goed idee om zo'n gedragscode in te voeren. Er zou namelijk een “smeuïg” verhaal van worden gemaakt, waarvan Riemsma zelfs begrijpt dat het gebeurt. "Als je het platslaat, is het heel opportunistisch. Je buit het persoonlijke leed van een ander uit voor een groot publiek." Riemsma erkent dat er ook integere pogingen gedaan worden om maatschappelijke thema's aan de kaak te stellen, maar afspraken zijn nodig om de nabestaanden en betrokken personen te beschermen. "Wat is nou de meerwaarde van deze serie?" vraagt Bas van Sluis, journalist bij Dagblad van het Noorden, zich af. "Ik krijg er een nare smaak van. Ik vind het goed er aandacht komt via zo'n gedragscode." Van Sluis vermoedt dat het gaat om kijkcijfers en verdienen aan zo'n zaak. Eppo van Nispen, directeur van Beeld en Geluid, zegt daarentegen dat het men vrijstaat om een verhaal te schrijven. "Je hebt ook niet per se toestemming nodig, maar ik denk wel dat er een code is, zodat er iets van bescherming is", reageert Riemsma. "Alles moet gemaakt kunnen worden", maar een code zou er wel voor zorgen dat het "respectvol" gebeurt.

Shula Tas in gesprek met striptekenaar Peter de Wit. Dit najaar toont het museum Tot Zover in Amsterdam tekeningen en schetsen over de dood van Peter de Wit in de tentoonstelling Doodleuk. In cartoons en strips zijn dood en uitvaart geliefde thema's, maar zelden zijn ze onderwerp voor een hele serie. Zo niet bij striptekenaar Peter de Wit (1958), onder meer bekend van Sigmund. Hij begon te schetsen en hield niet op. Peter de Wit (1958) begon zijn loopbaan in 1979 in het weekblad Eppo met de cowboystrip Stampede! Daarnaast maakte hij wekelijks het Redactiestripje en tekende hij De Familie Fortuin, een gagstrip over een asociale familie.  Met collega Hanco Kolk schreef hij scenario's voor zijn strip Gilles de Geus. Sinds 2000 maakt hij met Kolk de dagstrip S1ngle over drie jonge vrouwen in de grote stad. De bekendste creatie van Peter de Wit is Sigmund, een dagelijkse strip over een psychiater die niet zachtzinnig met zijn patiënten omspringt. Deze dagstrip staat sinds 1994 in de Volkskrant en jaarlijks wordt een selectie van de afleveringen gebundeld door uitgeverij De Harmonie. In 1995 won Peter de Wit de VSB-Publieksprijs voor zijn boek Sigmund eerste sessie en in 1999 ontving hij de Stripschapprijs voor zijn gehele oeuvre.

Hello, and welcome to episode 112 of the Financial Crime Weekly Podcast, I'm Chris Kirkbride. I fear that things are getting busy again, as this week is typical of so many recent weeks for this podcast in that there is a wealth of news. The sanctions news comes in the form of a host of stories concerning oil exports from both Iran and Russia, with the latter being the subject of an investigation into possible sanctions evasion in relation to the oil price cap. On fraud news, action taken across the European Union against fraudsters abusing EU funds and citizens by an old-fashioned Ponzi scheme.

La mafia non è scomparsa: ma qual è il suo primo nemico oggi? Molto è cambiato dai decenni più sanguinosi del contrasto alla criminalità organizzata nei suoi territori d'origine, che negli anni '70-90 vivevano in economie chiuse, fragili, e con poche alternative alla competizione impari con le attività illegali La lotta di quegli anni ha però preparato il terreno per la partecipazione di quei territori ai mercati aperti, con le opportunità che lo sviluppo economico rappresenta per l'emancipazione del capitale umano e sociale Oggi a Leonifiles Calogero Ferrara (procuratore europeo) e Francesco Petruzzella (analista informatico della Procura di Palermo) parlano del ruolo del mercato nell'erosione del fenomeno mafioso nel contesto delle tappe precedenti della lotta alla mafia, in una nuova intervista condotta da Serena Sileoni Preferisci seguire la puntata in video?

We bespreken de partijen VVD, NSC, BBB en PVV, hun ministeries en hun ministers. Welke partij heeft het best onderhandeld? Welke minister heeft het moeilijkste ministerie? En welke namen zijn verrassend? Daarover gaat het deze week met politiek verslaggever Niels van den Bovenkamp en politiek commentator Sjirk Kuijper. Ook gaat het uitgebreid over voormalig CU-kamerlid Eppo Bruins die minister wordt namens NSC. Waarom kiest hij daarvoor? En hoe is dat nieuws bij de ChristenUnie aangekomen? Een nieuw kabinet betekent ook een afscheid van verschillende ministers, waaronder Carola Schouten. Zij neemt na bijna 20 jaar in de politiek binnenkort afscheid.

Európsky dvor audítorov (EDA) zisťuje, ako Európska únia (EÚ) nakladá s verejnými financiami. „Je pomocník pri dobrom spravovaní verejných financií, no právomoci zastaviť nejaké financovanie či „vymazať“ niektorú rozpočtovú položku nemá. Dáva nezávislý odborný pohľad na veci tým, ktorí o nich môžu rozhodnúť v europarlamente. Ak máme podozrenie alebo odhalíme spreneveru či nelegálne konanie, tak to ďalej riešia inštitúcie ako Európska prokuratúra (EPPO), Európsky úrad pre boj proti podvodom (OLAF) a podobne,“ uvádza pre TREND členka Európskeho dvora audítorov (EDA) Katarína Kaszasová. V rozhovore s Veronikou Vaňkovou vysvetľuje, aké právomoci má dvor audítorov a aké správy vydáva. Hovorí aj o tom, prečo je účasť v júnových eurovoľbách dôležitá. Celý videorozhovor o tom, kam siahajú kompetencie Európskeho dvora audítorov, pri akých kontrolách sa EK správa neštandardne či ako nebezpečne sa zvyšuje dlh Európskej únie, si môžete pozrieť tu: https://www.trend.sk/ekonomika/katarina-kaszasova-europskeho-dvora-auditorov-dlh-eu-moze-zatazit-dalsie-generacie?itm_brand=trend&itm_template=listing&itm_modul=articles-rubric-list&itm_position=2

Den organiserade brottsligheten i Sverige har förgreningar över hela kontinenten. Hör om hur EU-länderna kan samarbeta mot gängen och om början till ett europeiskt FBI. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. De kriminella gängen i Sverige drar stor nytta av EU:s fria rörlighet. Pengar, narkotika, vapen och utförare av grova våldsbrott rör sig över landgränserna i Europa. Europapodden går igenom vilka verktyg och ramar för samarbete som finns för brottsbekämpning på europeisk nivå idag och vad polis och åklagare kan göra för att komma åt gängen och den grova organiserade brottsligheten. Hör också om vilka begränsningar som finns för samarbetet och hur det skulle kunna utökas. Behövs ett europeiskt FBI? Sedan två år tillbaka finns en europeisk åklagarmyndighet, EPPO, som kan ses som ett första steg på en sådan utveckling. En viktig nyckelhändelse för Europa var den franska polisens insats mot det krypterade kommunikationsverktyget Enchrochat sommaren 2020. Insatsen blottlade den organiserade brottslighetens omfattning i Europa och blev en ögonöppnare. Medverkande: Lasse Wierup, författare och journalist på Dagens Industri.

LTC Maurer discusses the recently fielded “ePPO” app, a cell phone-accessible program that permits Ukrainian civilians to visually identify, locate, and track the trajectory of airborne threats like Russian drones, helicopters, and rockets. Given a State's duty to take feasible precautions and constant care to prevent or limit civilian collateral harms, LTC Maurer analyzes whether these conditions (a government actively providing the means or encouragement to engage in direct participation in hostilities (DPH)) trigger a legal duty on the State to warn its civilians of the legal consequences of their DPHing. The question is broader than the “ePPO” app itself, but the Ukrainian context provides a starting point for examining how modern technology pushes against the boundaries of conventional international law.

Gergely Orosz writes the #1 technology newsletter at Substack, called The Pragmatic Engineer. He started his career as a software developer in the U.K., spent three years at Skype, and followed that role with four years as an engineering manager at Uber before deciding to leave big tech and work for himself. Gergely began pursuing his newsletter full-time in September 2021 and in just one year has amassed 200,000 subscribers. He now makes more money than he did at his salaried tech job, and with freedom and flexibility. In today's podcast, Gergely shares why he left his well-paying job at Uber, how he got his first 1,000 subscribers, why this kind of work can be stressful and lonely (but ultimately rewarding), and why it takes hard work to build authority and become a great writer. Working solo can be challenging, and in this episode, both Lenny and Gergely offer tips for structuring your unstructured time and finding your focus.—Find the full transcript here: https://www.lennyspodcast.com/leaving-big-tech-to-build-the-1-technology-newsletter-gergely-orosz-the-pragmatic-engineer/#transcript—Where to find Gergely Orosz:• Website: https://www.pragmaticengineer.com/• Newsletter: https://newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com• Twitter: https://twitter.com/GergelyOrosz• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gergelyorosz/—Where to find Lenny:• Newsletter: https://www.lennysnewsletter.com• Twitter: https://twitter.com/lennysan• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lennyrachitsky/—Thank you to our wonderful sponsors for making this episode possible:• Lemon.io: https://lemon.io/lenny• Eppo: https://www.geteppo.com/• Vanta: https://vanta.com/lenny—Referenced:• Gergely's books: https://blog.pragmaticengineer.com/books/• Centered: https://www.centered.app/• The Pomodoro technique: https://www.forbes.com/sites/bryancollinseurope/2020/03/03/the-pomodoro-technique/• Coding Horror: https://blog.codinghorror.com/• How to Achieve Ultimate Blog Success in One Easy Step: https://blog.codinghorror.com/how-to-achieve-ultimate-blog-success-in-one-easy-step/• A Comment Is an Invitation for Refactoring: https://blog.pragmaticengineer.com/a-comment-is-an-invitation-for-refactoring/• Kent Beck's website: https://www.kentbeck.com/• Steve Yegge's famous rant on Google vs. Amazon: https://www.alexanderjarvis.com/steve-yegges-famous-rant-on-google-vs-amazon/• Stevey's Tech Talk: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZfuUWMTtMcC1DZF6HxJhqsGrBXu8Jzi7—In this episode, we cover:(04:32) Gergely's background(07:19) The Pragmatic Engineer, growth and current subscribers (08:59) Compensation with a subscription-based newsletter vs. his salaried position at Uber(10:55) How the onset of Covid and layoffs at Uber prompted Gergely to start his newsletter(23:10) What he did immediately after leaving Uber(25:41) The day-to-day of writing a newsletter(35:08) Tips for productivity(41:19) Gergely's favorite parts of entrepreneurship (43:15) The downsides of solo work(50:39) Why Gergely stopped making long-term plans(54:30) How to get started writing a newsletter(1:04:48) Key advice on building a successful newsletter—Production and marketing by https://penname.co/.

The term A/B testing gets thrown around a lot in startups, many use it to great effect, and some know they should use it, but never quite do. Our guest today is Chetan Sharma, Co-Founder and CEO of Eppo, a platform that helps companies run useful, reliable experiments by automating the analysis, diagnostics, and investigations, all on top of your data warehouse. We get into the power of A/B testing, how Eppo can unlock that power for startups of all sizes, and best practices for implementing them.About Chetan Sharma:Chetan Sharma is the Co-Founder and CEO of Eppo. Previously, he was Data Scientist at Webflow and Airbnb. Chetan worked in empirical healthcare policy, helping to craft metrics and incentive systems as part of the Affordable Care Act's pay-for-performance programs. He has BS and MS degrees from Stanford.A word from our sponsor:At Ripple, we manage all of our fund expenses and employee credit cards using Jeeves. The team at Jeeves helped get me and my team setup with physical and virtual credit cards in days. I was able to allow my teammates to expense items in multiple currencies allowing them to pay for anything, anywhere at anytime. We weren't asked for any personal guarantees or to pay any setup or monthly SaaS fees.Not only does Jeeves save us time, but they also give us cashback on our purchases including expenses like Google, Facebook, or AWS every month. New users can earn up to 3% cashback for their first 90 days.The best part is Jeeves puts up the cash, and you settle up once every 30 days in any currency you want, unlike some other corporate card companies that make you pre-pay every month.
