Welcome to The Reel Schmooze with ToI film reviewer Jordan Hoffman and host Amanda Borschel-Dan, where we bring you all the entertainment news and film reviews a Jew can use. This week, the pair speaks about two films -- the new-ish, Jewish, "Bad Shabbos," and the classic Mel Brooks's "History of the World, Part I." But first, we turn to the segment, "What's the Jangle," in which we discuss two tidbits of Jewish entertainment news. Hoffman gives a tiny peek at the upcoming super Jewy film starring Timothée Chalamet, "Marty Supreme," which he saw in previews this week. And then we hear Pope Leo's top four films of all time. (Spoiler: three of them are very Jewy.) And, which questionable film personality was quoted by the pope at a Vatican event? Next, we get to "The Main Screening," in which the duo first discusses "Bad Shabbos," which one half of the team absolutely loved and the other gave a pretty warm review. And then, we move to the classic, "History of the World, Part I," which Borschel-Dan buckled down and watched for the first time. Hear who gave both films a seal of approval and which was a split decision on this week's The Reel Schmooze.

Hey everyone, Cody Rich here from The Elk Hunt Podcast, your go-to spot for all things elk hunting. From DIY backcountry grinds to chats with the legends who've been stacking up big bulls for years, we've got the stories, tips, and tactics to fire you up for September. In this killer episode, I sit down with Tom – an absolute beast in the woods who's one of the most underrated elk slayers out there. We dive deep into his solo hunt this year where he arrows a solid herd bull in thick timber, sharing the play-by-play on how he closed the deal without a caller. Tom breaks down his evolution from chasing runners as a kid to mastering herd bull setups, reading elk behavior like a book, and turning midday lulls into prime opportunities. We talk real talk on solo strategies – from minimal bugling to let curiosity do the work, to raking, wind plays, and picking your battlefield. If you're grinding solo or just want to level up your game, this one's packed with nuggets that'll have you rethinking your next setup.

Episode Chapters 00:00 - Intro & Episode Tease: Cody kicks off the show, hyping the chat with Tom and why it's a must-listen for hardcore elk hunters.03:15 - Sponsor Shoutouts: Quick hits on Tricer, Stone Glacier, and the giveaway details. 06:30 - Solo Hunting Origins: Tom shares his early days learning from his dad, chasing runners, and his first solo herd bull kill 15 years ago.12:45 - Reading Elk Behavior: Breaking down herd bulls vs. satellites, why cows often lead the run, and using bugles to gauge intent.19:20 - Minimal Calling Tactics: Tips on curiosity killing the cat, raking for comfort noise, and avoiding over-bugling to close the deal.25:40 - This Year's Solo Hunt Story: The play-by-play on Tom's Idaho bull – setup, wind plays, raking exchanges, and the 20-yard shot.33:15 - Challenges of Solo Calling: Getting shots without getting pinned, using mouth reeds to stop bulls, and directing bugles for better approaches.39:50 - Midday Magic & Persistence: Stories of working bulls all day, bedding areas, and turning "runners" into kills once cows settle.46:30 - Decoys & Adaptations: When and how decoys shine (or don't), plus lessons from open country vs. thick timber.52:10 - More Bull Encounters: Tom's seven solo calls this season, reading scenarios, and a deep backcountry midday setup that almost paid off.58:25 - Wrapping Up & Lessons Learned: Final thoughts on always improving, post-setup reviews, and intro to Tom's courses.1:04:00 - Outro & Plugs: Cody's sign-off, giveaway reminder, and where to find more resources. Key Takeaways Let Curiosity Work for You: Instead of constant bugling duels, go silent or minimal after initial contact – elk often come in closer when they're unsure of your exact location, giving you better shot opportunities without getting pinned. Read the Herd Dynamics: Not all "runners" are the bull fleeing; often it's the cows leading the charge. Listen to bugle types to tell if the bull's talking to you or just herding cows, and wait for midday bedding to force a confrontation. Persistence Pays in Midday Lulls: Don't bail after morning action quiets – stick on a herd all day, pack food/water, and capitalize on bedding areas. Bulls are more callable once cows settle, turning long chases into kills.

It's the most over-hyped title in the NHL: The Generational Player. Every high-profile player projected to be a number one overall pick seems to get the label. In 2023, it was Connor Bedard.

Principes clés: Simplicité, basée sur un modèle d'exécution de graphe. Tâches: Chaque tâche a une entrée/sortie, peut être asynchrone (Task) ou synchrone (SyncTask). Pipeline: Un TaskPipeline construit et exécute le graphe, gère les I/O. Modèle Graph-First: Le flux de travail est un Graphe Orienté Acyclique (DAG). Définition des tâches comme des nœuds, des connexions comme des arêtes. Support naturel des motifs fan-out et fan-in. API simple: addTask("id", task), connect("fromId", "toId"). Fan-in: Une tâche recevant plusieurs entrées reçoit une Map (clés = IDs des tâches parentes). Exécution: pipeline.run(input) retourne un CompletableFuture (peut être bloquant via .join() ou asynchrone). Cycle de vie: TaskPipeline est AutoCloseable, garantissant la libération des ressources (try-with-resources). Contexte: PipelineContext pour partager des données/métadonnées thread-safe entre les tâches au sein d'une exécution. Mise en cache: Option de mise en cache pour les tâches afin d'éviter les re-calculs. Au tour de Microsoft de lancer son (Microsoft) Agent Framework, qui semble être une fusion / réécriture de AutoGen et de Semnatic Kernel https://x.com/pyautogen/status/1974148055701028930 Plus de détails dans le blog post : https://devblogs.microsoft.com/foundry/introducing-microsoft-agent-framework-the-open-source-engine-for-agentic-ai-apps/ SDK & runtime open-source pour systèmes multi-agents sophistiqués.

Extensible, modulaire, open-source, connecteurs intégrés. Prêt pour la production (observabilité, sécurité, durabilité, "human in the loop"). Relation SK/AutoGen : S'appuie sur eux, ne les remplace pas, simplifie la migration. Intégrations futures : Alignement avec Microsoft 365 Agents SDK et Azure AI Foundry Agent Service. Sortie de Jackson 3.0 (bientôt les Jackson Five !!!) https://cowtowncoder.medium.com/jackson-3-0-0-ga-released-1f669cda529a Jackson 3.0.0 a été publié le 3 octobre 2025. Objectif : base propre pour le développement à long terme, suppression de la dette technique, architecture simplifiée, amélioration de l'ergonomie. Principaux changements : Baseline Java 17 requise (vs Java 8 pour 2.x). Group ID Maven et package Java renommés en tools.jackson pour la coexistence avec Jackson 2.x. (Exception: jackson-annotations ne change pas). Suppression de toutes les fonctionnalités @Deprecated de Jackson 2.x et renommage de plusieurs entités/méthodes clés. Modification des paramètres de configuration par défaut (ex: FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES désactivé). ObjectMapper et TokenStreamFactory sont désormais immutables, la configuration se fait via des builders. Passage à des exceptions de base non vérifiées (JacksonException) pour plus de commodité. Intégration des "modules Java 8" (pour les noms de paramètres, Optional, java.time) directement dans l'ObjectMapper par défaut. Amélioration du modèle d'arbre JsonNode (plus de configurabilité, meilleure gestion des erreurs). Testcontainers Java 2.0 est sorti https://github.com/testcontainers/testcontainers-java/releases/tag/2.0.0 Removed JUnit 4 support -> ups Grails 7.0 est sortie, avec son arrivée à la fondation Apache https://grails.apache.org/blog/2025-10-18-introducing-grails-7.html Sortie d'Apache Grails 7.0.0 annoncée le 18 octobre 2025. Grails est devenu un projet de premier niveau (TLP) de l'Apache Software Foundation (ASF), graduant d'incubation. Mise à jour des dépendances vers Groovy 4.0.28, Spring Boot 3.5.6, Jakarta EE. Tout pour bien démarrer et développer des agents IA avec ADK pour Java https://glaforge.dev/talks/2025/10/22/building-ai-agents-with-adk-for-java/ Guillaume a partagé plein de resources sur le développement d'agents IA avec ADK pour Java Un article avec tous les pointeurs Un slide deck et l'enregistrement vidéo de la présentation faite lors de Devoxx Belgique Un codelab avec des instructions pour démarrer et créer ses premiers agents Plein d'autres samples pour s'inspirer et voir les possibilités offertes par le framework Et aussi un template de projet sur GitHub, avec un build Maven et un premier agent d'exemple Cloud Internet cassé, du moins la partie hébergée par AWS #hugops https://www.theregister.com/2025/10/20/aws_outage_amazon_brain_drain_corey_quinn/ Panne majeure d'AWS (région US-EAST-1) : problème DNS affectant DynamoDB, service fondamental, causant des défaillances en cascade de nombreux services internet. Réponse lente : 75 minutes pour identifier la cause profonde; la page de statut affichait initialement "tout va bien". Cause sous-jacente principale : "fuite des cerveaux" (départ d'ingénieurs AWS seniors). Perte de connaissances institutionnelles : des décennies d'expertise critique sur les systèmes AWS et les modes de défaillance historiques parties avec ces départs. Prédictions confirmées : un ancien d'AWS avait anticipé une augmentation des pannes majeures en 2024. Preuves de la perte de talents : Plus de 27 000 licenciements chez Amazon (2022-2025). Taux élevé de "départs regrettés" (69-81%). Mécontentement lié à la politique de "Return to Office" et au manque de reconnaissance de l'expertise. Conséquences : les nouvelles équipes, plus réduites, manquent de l'expérience nécessaire pour prévenir les pannes ou réduire les temps de récupération. Perspective : Le marché pourrait pardonner cette fois, mais le problème persistera, rendant les futurs incidents plus probables. Web React a gagné "par défaut" https://www.lorenstew.art/blog/react-won-by-default/ React domine par défaut, non par mérite technique, étouffant ainsi l'innovation front-end. Choix par réflexe ("tout le monde connaît React"), freinant l'évaluation d'alternatives potentiellement supérieures. Fondations techniques de React (V-DOM, complexité des Hooks, Server Components) vues comme des contraintes actuelles. Des frameworks innovants (Svelte pour la compilation, Solid pour la réactivité fine, Qwik pour la "resumability") offrent des modèles plus performants mais sont sous-adoptés. La monoculture de React génère une dette technique (runtime, réconciliation) et centre les compétences sur le framework plutôt que sur les fondamentaux web. L'API React est complexe, augmentant la charge cognitive et les risques de bugs, contrairement aux alternatives plus simples. L'effet de réseau crée une "prison": offres d'emploi spécifiques, inertie institutionnelle, leaders choisissant l'option "sûre". Nécessité de choisir les frameworks selon les contraintes du projet et le mérite technique, non par inertie. Les arguments courants (maturité de l'écosystème, recrutement, bibliothèques, stabilité) sont remis en question; une dépendance excessive peut devenir un fardeau. La monoculture ralentit l'évolution du web et détourne les talents, nuisant à la diversité essentielle pour un écosystème sain et innovant. Promouvoir la diversité des frameworks pour un écosystème plus résilient et innovant. WebAssembly 3 est sortie https://webassembly.org/news/2025-09-17-wasm-3.0/ Data et Intelligence Artificielle UUIDv4 ou UUIDv7 pour vos clés primaires ? Ça dépend… surtout pour les bases de données super distribuées ! https://medium.com/google-cloud/understanding-uuidv7-and-its-impact-on-cloud-spanner-b8d1a776b9f7 UUIDv4 : identifiants entièrement aléatoires. Cause des problèmes de performance dans les bases de données relationnelles (ex: PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server) utilisant des index B-Tree. Inserts aléatoires réduisent l'efficacité du cache, entraînent des divisions de pages et la fragmentation. UUIDv7 : nouveau standard conçu pour résoudre ces problèmes. Intègre un horodatage (48 bits) en préfixe de l'identifiant, le rendant ordonné temporellement et "k-sortable". Améliore la performance dans les bases B-Tree en favorisant les inserts séquentiels, la localité du cache et réduisant la fragmentation. Problème de UUIDv7 pour certaines bases de données distribuées et scalables horizontalement comme Spanner : La nature séquentielle d'UUIDv7 (via l'horodatage) crée des "hotspots d'écriture" (points chauds) dans Spanner. Spanner distribue les données en "splits" (partitions) basées sur les plages de clés. Les clés séquentielles concentrent les écritures sur un seul "split". Ceci empêche Spanner de distribuer la charge et de scaler les écritures, créant un goulot d'étranglement ("anti-pattern"). Quand ce n'est PAS un problème pour Spanner : Si le taux d'écriture total est inférieur à environ 3 500 écritures/seconde pour un seul "split". Le hotspot est "bénin" à cette échelle et n'entraîne pas de dégradation de performance. Solutions pour Spanner : Principe clé : S'assurer que la première partie de la clé primaire est NON séquentielle pour distribuer les écritures. UUIDv7 peut être utilisé, mais pas comme préfixe. Nouvelle conception ("greenfield") : ▪︎ Utiliser une clé primaire non-séquentielle (ex: UUIDv4 simple). Pour les requêtes basées sur le temps, créer un index secondaire sur la colonne d'horodatage, mais le SHARDER (ex: shardId) pour éviter les hotspots sur l'index lui-même. Migration (garder UUIDv7) : ▪︎ Ajouter un préfixe de sharding : Introduire une colonne `shard` calculée (ex: `MOD(ABS(FARM_FINGERPRINT(order_id_v7)), N)`) et l'utiliser comme PREMIER élément d'une clé primaire composite (`PRIMARY KEY (shard, order_id_v7)`). Réordonner les colonnes (si clé primaire composite existante) : Si la clé primaire est déjà composite (ex: (order_id_v7, tenant_id)), réordonner en (tenant_id, order_id_v7). Cela aide si tenant_id a une cardinalité élevée et distribue bien. (Un tenant_id très actif pourrait toujours nécessiter un préfixe de sharding supplémentaire). RAG en prod, comment améliorer la pertinence des résultats https://blog.abdellatif.io/production-rag-processing-5m-documents Démarrage rapide avec Langchain + Llamaindex: prototype fonctionnel, mais résultats de production jugés "subpar" par les utilisateurs. Ce qui a amélioré la performance (par ROI): Génération de requêtes: LLM crée des requêtes sémantiques et mots-clés multiples basées sur le fil de discussion pour une meilleure couverture. Reranking: La technique la plus efficace, modifie grandement le classement des fragments (chunks). Stratégie de découpage (Chunking): Nécessite beaucoup d'efforts, compréhension des données, création de fragments logiques sans coupures. Métadonnées à l'LLM: L'injection de métadonnées (titre, auteur) améliore le contexte et les réponses. Routage de requêtes: Détecte et traite les questions non-RAG (ex: résumer, qui a écrit) via API/LLM distinct. Outillage Créer un serveur MCP (mode HTTP Streamable) avec Micronaut et quelques éléments de comparaison avec Quarkus https://glaforge.dev/posts/2025/09/16/creating-a-streamable-http-mcp-server-with-micronaut/ Micronaut propose désormais un support officiel pour le protocole MCP. Exemple : un serveur MCP pour les phases lunaires (similaire à une version Quarkus pour la comparaison). Définition des outils MCP via les annotations @Tool et @ToolArg. Point fort : Micronaut gère automatiquement la validation des entrées (ex: @NotBlank, @Pattern), éliminant la gestion manuelle des erreurs. Génération automatique de schémas JSON détaillés pour les structures d'entrée/sortie grâce à @JsonSchema. Nécessite une configuration pour exposer les schémas JSON générés comme ressources statiques. Dépendances clés : micronaut-mcp-server-java-sdk et les modules json-schema. Testé avec l'inspecteur MCP et intégration avec l'outil Gemini CLI.

Un agent IA créatif : comment utiliser le modèle Nano Banana pour générer et éditer des images (en Java, avec ADK) https://glaforge.dev/posts/2025/09/22/creative-ai-agents-with-adk-and-nano-banana/ Modèles de langage (LLM) deviennent multimodaux : traitent diverses entrées (texte, images, vidéo, audio). Nano Banana (gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview) : modèle Gemini, génère et édite des images, pas seulement du texte. ADK (Agent Development Kit pour Java) : pour configurer des agents IA créatifs utilisant ce type de modèle.

Un vieil article (6 mois) qui illustre les problèmes du format de fichier YAML https://ruudvanasseldonk.com/2023/01/11/the-yaml-document-from-hell YAML est extrêmement complexe malgré son objectif de convivialité humaine. Spécification volumineuse et versionnée (YAML 1.1, 1.2 diffèrent significativement). Comportements imprévisibles et "pièges" (footguns) courants : Nombres sexagésimaux (ex: 22:22 parsé comme 1342 en YAML 1.1). Tags (!.git) pouvant mener à des erreurs ou à l'exécution de code arbitraire. "Problème de la Norvège" : no interprété comme false en YAML 1.1. Clés non-chaînes de caractères (on peut devenir une clé booléenne True). Nombres accidentels si non-guillemets (ex: 10.23 comme flottant). La coloration syntaxique n'est pas fiable pour détecter ces subtilités. Le templating de documents YAML est une mauvaise idée, source d'erreurs et complexe à gérer. Alternatives suggérées : TOML : Similaire à YAML mais plus sûr (chaînes toujours entre guillemets), permet les commentaires. JSON avec commentaires (utilisé par VS Code), mais moins répandu. Utiliser un sous-ensemble simple de YAML (difficile à faire respecter). Générer du JSON à partir de langages de programmation plus puissants : ▪︎ Nix : Excellent pour l'abstraction et la réutilisation de configuration. Python : Facilite la création de JSON avec commentaires et logique.

(l'histoire de sa création) https://newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/how-claude-code-is-built Claude Code : outil de développement "AI-first" créé par Boris Cherny, Sid Bidasaria et Cat Wu. Performance impressionnante : 500M$ de revenus annuels, utilisation multipliée par 10 en 3 mois. Adoption interne massive : Plus de 80% des ingénieurs d'Anthropic l'utilisent quotidiennement, y compris les data scientists. Augmentation de productivité : 67% d'augmentation des Pull Requests (PR) par ingénieur malgré le doublement de l'équipe. Origine : Commande CLI simple évoluant vers un outil accédant au système de fichiers, exploitant le "product overhang" du modèle Claude. Raison du lancement public : Apprendre sur la sécurité et les capacités des modèles d'IA. Pile technologique "on distribution" : TypeScript, React (avec Ink), Yoga, Bun. Choisie car le modèle Claude est déjà très performant avec ces technologies. "Claude Code écrit 90% de son propre code" : Le modèle prend en charge la majeure partie du développement. Architecture légère : Simple "shell" autour du modèle Claude, minimisant la logique métier et le code (suppression constante de code superflu). Exécution locale : Privilégiée pour sa simplicité, sans virtualisation. Sécurité : Système de permissions granulaire demandant confirmation avant chaque action potentiellement dangereuse (ex: suppression de fichiers). Développement rapide : Jusqu'à 100 releases internes/jour, 1 release externe/jour. 5 Pull Requests/ingénieur/jour. Prototypage ultra-rapide (ex: 20+ prototypes d'une fonctionnalité en quelques heures) grâce aux agents IA. Innovation UI/UX : Redéfinit l'expérience du terminal grâce à l'interaction LLM, avec des fonctionnalités comme les sous-agents, les styles de sortie configurables, et un mode "Learning".

WWE legend Maven Huffman joins TMZ Inside the Ring for a brutally honest, no-holds-barred conversation about the state of professional wrestling in 2025. From John Cena's emotional farewell tour to CM Punk's shocking win at Saturday Night's Main Event, Maven breaks down what these moments mean for the business, the fans, and the next generation of Superstars. As the Tough Enough Season 1 winner turned YouTube powerhouse, Maven knows firsthand what it takes to make it — and survive — in the world of sports entertainment. In this exclusive interview, he opens up about:

Maven 4 is approaching its release, bringing many improvements to the build tool powering millions of Java projects.In this Foojay Podcast episode, we talk about Apache Maven 4, a significant milestone that has been years in the making. Maven has been the backbone of Java dependency management and build automation since the early 2000s; however, the road to version 4 has been a long and deliberate one. With significant performance improvements, a modernized API for plugin developers, and changes that affect how we think about project structure, Maven 4 represents both an evolution and a revolution. What does this mean for the millions of developers who depend on Maven daily? How should teams prepare for the transition? And what's the story behind the Maven Central Repository changes that have been making headlines? To answer these questions and more, we're joined by a few of the many contributors who are actually building Maven 4 and stewarding its ecosystem.Guests   Hervé Boutemy      https://www.linkedin.com/in/hboutemy/    Guillaume Nodet      https://www.linkedin.com/in/guillaumenodet/    Maarten Mulders      https://www.linkedin.com/in/mthmulders/ Content00:00 Introduction of the topic and guests04:23 Status of Maven 4 release   https://maven.apache.org/whatsnewinmaven4.html    https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-migration-to-mvn4.html 07:57 Why we needed a new Maven version   https://maarten.mulders.it/2020/11/whats-new-in-maven-4/    https://maarten.mulders.it/2021/03/introduction-to-maven-toolchains/    https://www.javaadvent.com/2021/12/from-maven-3-to-maven-5.html 12:37 You can already start using Maven 414:35 Some benefits of switching to Maven 418:52 Changes in the pom file, and yes, still XML20:30 Changes for Maven plugin developers and integrators22:24 Changes for Maven users, for instance, the need for Java 1728:34 Maven The Tool versus Maven The Repository34:51 Reasons for the change in authentication for uploads to Maven Central36:01 The one and only Maven Central URL to use   https://central.sonatype.com/ 38:04 About the very first "server" hosting the Maven repository40:32 The importance of setting up your own caching repository   https://www.sonatype.com/blog/maven-central-and-the-tragedy-of-the-commons    https://openssf.org/blog/2025/09/23/open-infrastructure-is-not-free-a-joint-statement-on-sustainable-stewardship/    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t74ClffSUW0 44:04 The relationship between POM, BOM, BOM-POM , and SBOM49:43 Gradle versus Maven57:54 How to contribute to Maven or any other open-source project, and how to get the support of your company to do so01:05:23 How to upgrade your projects from Maven 3 to 4   https://maven.apache.org/tools/mvnup.html 

Why do great product ideas fail to gain traction? According to Elena Luna, it's rarely about the strategy and more often about the storytelling. In this episode of The Product Experience, Elena Luneva, a seasoned CPO, GM, and Maven instructor, joins Randy Silver live from INDUSTRY 2025 to explore how product leaders can better communicate the why behind their product decisions. What we learned from Elena— Speaking 'User' isn't enough – Executives care about business impact, not just engagement metrics.— Translate features to financials – Frame product initiatives in terms of ARPU, opex savings, or revenue impact.— Use storytelling with data – Combine real user insights with projections to make your case.— Seasonality matters – Product testing should account for time-of-year and market behaviour.— Align go-to-market early – Synchronising product and sales is key to driving measurable outcomes.— Ask better questions – Start with: What is it? Why does it matter? How much will it cost? When will we get it?Chapters 2:45 – The Ceiling for Great PMs4:09 – Speaking Executive5:22 – Case Study: Nextdoor Maps9:52 – Translating Engagement to Revenue10:49 – Embedding Finance into Product Thinking12:43 – Pivoting During COVID14:36 – Business Fluency at All Levels16:00 – Building Context Across Teams18:26 – The Four Questions20:06 – Thinking in Horizons22:43 – Shifting Accountability26:23 – CPMO vs. CPTO27:43 – Common Mistakes29:42 – Seasonality & Cannibalisation32:29 – Practical First Steps34:21 – Credits & OutroFeatured Links: Follow Elena on LinkedIn | Elena's Substack | Industry Conference Cleveland 2025 recap at Mind The Product | Sign up to Elena's coaching course We're taking Community Questions for The Product Experience podcast.Got a burning product question for Lily, Randy, or an upcoming guest?

In this episode, Mallory Contois, VP of Growth at Maven and founder of The Old Girls Club, traces her path from hypergrowth operator to community builder. She reflects on the “up, down, up” rhythm of her career, from Pinterest's rocket ship years to rediscovering fit after leaving Metafy, and shares what she's learned about ego, feedback, and identity along the way.Mallory opens up about being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and how that reframed her communication, leadership, and approach to feedback. She explains why no one is an “A-player everywhere,” how environment shapes performance, and what it takes to design work that truly fits your strengths.Now leading growth at Maven while scaling a 2,000-member community, Mallory gets practical about following momentum, hiring for energy, and coaching the edges.

In this episode of The Mind Shift Podcast, Erwin and Aaron McManus take a hard look at the fine line between failed ideas and fraudulent schemes. From Tai Lopez's $112M SEC indictment to Elizabeth Holmes and the fall of Theranos, they explore how ambition can devolve into deception, and why proof of concept is critical in business, leadership, and communication. Along the way, they even break down the illusion behind Amazon's early wireless shopping system and what it teaches us about trust.The conversation then turns to the world of media and public discourse, sparked by Jimmy Kimmel's apology after his recent controversial remarks that led to his suspension and subsequent reinstatement. Was his apology on his show sincere, or just self-preservation? Erwin and Aaron dig into the language of apologies, the role of sincerity in public life, and what it reveals about our cultural climate. From there, they dive deep into censorship, free speech, and the hypocrisy of how different figures, like President Trump, are treated depending on political affiliation, unpacking the legal and cultural ripple effects of his battles with media companies.Finally, the episode broadens into questions of corruption, political polarization, and the role of education in shaping the next generation. Erwin argues that without free speech, truth and accountability crumble, while Aaron highlights how media bias continues to fuel division. Together they make the case for rebuilding trust, protecting free expression, and investing in education as the path toward a healthier, more hopeful future.--Love the episodes?

Hey everyone, Cody Rich here from The Rich Outdoors, and man, do I have a banger of an episode for you today! I sat down with my buddy Dillon Dietz, the mastermind behind "Elk Don't Exist," and we dove deep into his epic Montana archery bull story after 12 years of grinding. We're talking solo pack-outs in hailstorms, finally tagging out early, and how ditching the over-calling game changed everything. Dillon shares the highs and lows – from freezing in thunderstorms to that heart-pounding 30-yard shot on a funky five-by-clubby freak. We geek out on early-season tactics, why getting into the "nucleus" of elk chaos is key, and lessons from my own tough private land hunt where blind calling saved the day. If you're chasing your first bull or just love those raw, real hunting yarns that fire you up for September, this one's packed with tips, laughs, and motivation to keep pushing. Let's dive in! Sponsored by Stone Glacier Today's episode is brought to you by Stone Glacier. I've been hauling with their packs for years, and this season I'm running the new Avro 6400 – big enough for a 10-day backcountry grind but streamlined for day hunts too. Love the minimalist, lightweight design; I pack enough gear without the bag adding extra weight. From day packs to expedition beasts, they've got you covered. Head over to stoneglacier.com and gear up. Sponsored by Treer Tripods This episode is also brought to you by Treer Tripods. You need something solid for those fancy Maven optics – grab a Treer tripod and one of their panheads. My buddy Drew started this company, and his innovations are killer, with tons of new products dropping soon. My setup: Treer AD with the LP panhead – super lightweight, smooth, and handles big optics no problem. Add the bino clamp adapter for the full kit. Check 'em out at treer.com and use code TRO to save 10% off, plus snag a sweet setup. Great option if you're in the market for a lightweight elk hunting tripod! Show Notes 0:00 - Intro and Sponsors Kicking off with shoutouts to Stone Glacier and Treer Tripods, plus a quick hype on the episode's elk hunting vibes. 3:20 - Dillon's Early Tag-Out Blues Dillon shares the mixed feelings of tagging out after just six days, compared to last year's 35-day grind, and how he's itching to get back out. 9:45 - Hunting Mindset Shifts Discussing patience, ditching over-calling, and how focusing on glassing and finding elk first led to Dillon's success this season. 17:30 - The Hunt Breakdown: Day-by-Day Chaos Dillon recounts spotting elk, multiple close calls with a five-by-five, getting soaked in storms, and epic calf encounters that pulled bulls in. 26:15 - Early-Season Bull Dynamics Exploring why big bulls tolerate satellites early on, elk psychology, and how a giant 320-class bull judged reactions without spotting Dillon. 33:50 - The Kill Shot and Solo Pack-Out Dillon details the perfect blind setup, holding at full draw for a minute, nailing the bull at 30 yards, and shuttling meat in 80-degree heat amid a hailstorm. 41:20 - Cody's Private Land Lessons Cody shares his tough hunt on a ranch, emphasizing getting into the "nucleus" of elk activity, blind calling tactics, and why solo setups work. 48:40 - Blind Calling Strategies and Buglefests Breaking down setups for blind calling, firing up reluctant bulls, and how decoys and patience turn quiet mornings into action. 55:10 - Reflections and Future Hunts Wrapping up with takeaways on persistence, enjoying the process, and plans for rifle tags, backcountry trips, and more elk grinding. 1:02:00 - Outro and Plugs Dillon promotes his brand and podcast; final thoughts on believing in the hunt and tuning in next time. Key Takeaways Patience Over Pressure: Ditch over-calling and focus on glassing first – waiting for the right setup and going back to basics like soft cow-calf sequences can turn quiet elk into responsive ones, especially early season. Hunt the Nucleus: Get into the chaos of a herd or active group where satellites are easier to call in; chasing lone bulls is way harder than staying in the "party" where elk behavior creates opportunities. Learn from the Grind: It might take years (like Dillon's 12), but sticking to spots with consistent sign, adapting tactics mid-hunt, and enjoying the process without overthinking builds the skills for success – persistence pays off.

In this episode, Adam Butler is joined by Harley Bassman, Managing Partner at Simplify Asset Management, for a wide-ranging discussion on interest rate volatility, portfolio construction, and public policy. Bassman explains his creation of the MOVE Index before diving into strategies using long-dated options to create asymmetric payoffs. They also explore the systematic risks that challenge diversified portfolios during Fed policy inflection points. The conversation concludes with Bassman's strong case against the re-privatization of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, detailing the potential negative consequences for the housing market.Topics Discussed• The creation and mechanics of the MOVE Index as a VIX for the bond market• Explaining complex financial derivatives by drawing analogies to fundamental physics concepts• Constructing highly asymmetric, long-term trades based on the shape of the yield curve• The failure of traditional diversification during major inflection points in Federal Reserve policy• The paradigm shift to passive investing flows overriding traditional market valuation metrics• A new trade idea involving a positive-carry call option on Treasury rates as a recession hedge• The evolution of portfolio tools like Return Stacking and derivative-based ETFs• Identifying U.S. immigration policy as the most significant and overlooked macroeconomic risk• The public policy argument against the re-privatization of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac

We review the Best Skis for the new 2026 winter season, covering the best piste skis, best all mountain skis and freeride skis. Host Iain Martin was joined by The Ski Podcast's equipment expert Al Morgan.  Tirol in Austria sponsors The Ski Podcast, which means that this winter we'll be able to find out more about some of the great destinations in Tirol, and how you can connect with the wonderful ‘feeling of life' there.  SHOW NOTES Iain and Al will be at the London Snow Show in October (3:00) Best Skis of 2026 means the best skis of winter 2025/26 (4:00) What are the different types of skis (4:15) How important is that figure for width under your foot? (7:45) What is meant by ‘side cut'? (10:00) What is a ‘rocker? (12:00) How long should your skis be? (15:15) Is sustainability still important in ski production? (18:45) The Ski Sustainability Forum is organised by POW, Atomic and FESI (21:00) When and where did testing take place? (22:15) SIGB is the Snowsport Industries of Great Britain (22:45) Most testing takes place at SIGB's annual ski test in La Clusaz (23:15) How much do bindings cost? (25:00) THE BEST PISTE SKIS OF WINTER 2026  K2 Blur 74 W (women) (26:30) £600 / 148cm-169cm Blur is K2's new piste ski range for winter 25/26. The 74W has a little lift through the front and back, is built around their aspen wood core and uses Flax with channels milled into it.  They only do this in this ski and the Blur 79W to enhance agility. It should also save a little weight, although the 74 is about performance and a perfect partner for advanced and expert female skiers shredding the groomers.   It has a 13.9m radius in the longest length and testers reported it as silky smooth, easy to ski yet snappy, with great boost turn-to-turn. It's super reactive underfoot, quick to pivot and rotate for short turns.  Nordica Dobermann Multipista DC FDT (29:00) £930 including binding, 160cm-185cm The Multipista is new for this season, focussed equally on fun and performance. It may look similar to the Steadfast skis in its outline, but there's a lot more going on than simply a curvy figure.  It has Dobermann in the name, which hints at this ski's powerful drive, and when you open the throttle you're rewarded by the bucketload!  The rise though the front and back, paired with the taper at each end, means you never feel like your locked into a turn. It can lay trenches on the groomers, but if you want to nip off the side, take on some slush or get a little airtime, it's as composed as you could ask for.   It's built around their Energy 2 Ti Double Core (DC) construction. An elastomer layer is sandwiched between two beech and poplar wood cores, beefed up by two layers of Titanal metal, one above the wood-elastomer sandwich and one below.  Even though Nordica states the ski as having a Full Camber Profile, it has a longer rise through the shovel and tail than a regular full camber ski. This rocker profile is part of the Multipista's magic, bringing a delightfully versatile nature. The tapered profile through the shovel and tail further adds to its performance across a range of conditions. The 74mm waist width, in all lengths, partners with their race on-piste shape underfoot for confidence-rocketing grip. This width is bang-on the money, with plenty of punch through the edge and enough float and stability to tackle a broad array of terrain and snow conditions. THE BEST ALL MOUNTAIN SKIS OF WINTER 2026 Völkl V.Werks 100(32:00) £1,750 flat, 170cm-186cm Völkl has taken all they've learnt from ski manufacturing and turned the dial up to eleven with this ski! The company was founded in 1923, and in honour of this they have made exactly 1923 of these skis, with a retail price of €1923.   This ski is see-through. If you place your hand behind the ski, when holding it up to the light, you can see where your hand is. It's quite spectacular. It also highlights the complex structure they've perfected for the fibre placement.  They combine carbon and natural flax fibres, which work in harmony with the superb 3D H-Woodcore. This is made of two enviro friendly FSC-certified poplar and beech cores, with a central reinforcement, and this all has a very noticeable and technical 3D shape.  The fibres, translucent layer and wood core allows the designers to transfer the movements and forces from the skier through the ski and to the edges, for a ridiculously intuitive control. You get a regular camber underfoot but enough rocker in the shovel and tail for a mega-versatile shape. Atomic Maven 88 CTI (Women) (35:00) £570 without bindings, 147cm-172cm   This ski is based around an ash and poplar wood core, boosted by the addition of carbon and Titanal. These laminates add greater damping and energy to the ski, whilst helping to keep the ski light.  The change of shape through the shovel, as we saw in the wider Maverick and Maven models last season, keeps this ski incredibly playful. This HRZN 3D Maverick/Maven tech sees the wood core extend right up to the very front of the ski, designed to improve stability and smoothness when charging hard.  These skis can certainly be skied fast, but the thing you notice most with all skis with HRZN tech is just how much it enhances the fun nature of the skis. They are not twin-tips, and have a directional shape, although the rise in the back means you can ski switch if you really want to. Atomic builds in a 15% rocker through the shovel and a 10% rocker at the back, with standard camber in the middle of the ski. Salomon Stance Pro 86(Unisex) (38:00) £640 flat, 151cm-185cm   Salomon's Stance range sees significant change, taking what were already great skis and making them industry leading.  It has a full poplar wood core, with the Powerflex Ti metal layer sitting full width underfoot and tapering out in front of and behind the binding. The metal edge is made thicker to aid grip and power, and will endure more services, therefore lasting longer. The base has a 50% recycled content. The profile delivers regular camber underfoot with a 15% rocker through the front and a milder 12% rocker at the rear. THE BEST FREERIDE SKIS OF WINTER 2026 (40:00) Head Kore 99 Ti W(Women) (40:30) £650 without bindings, 156cm-177cm   The Kore skis are redesigned for this season. This 99mm underfoot model has the same length options as the women's Kore 97 of last season, but otherwise it's a very different ski.  Where the men's new Kore skis use beech and karuba, the women's Kore models combine poplar with PET (polyethylene terephthalate), which is a thermoplastic polyester polymer. Think of your favourite fleece, and the chances are it's made of the same material.  This is complimented by a layer of Titanal, using at least 40% recycled material, above and below the core, along with a Graphene layer between the metal and top of the core. They add a damping layer between the bottom metal layer and the edges of the ski, to further smoothen the ride.  Again, as in the men's, they add flax to the boundary of the topsheet to improve durability. Rocker front and back, with standard camber underfoot, gives the ski it's undeniable freeride profile.   Salomon QST 100(Unisex) (43:30) £570 without bindings, 148cm-188cm   New for this season in widths ranging from 92 through to 106, the 100 is an incredible freeride ski and was a hit with everyone at testing. It's a unisex model, offered in a choice of two colours.  The new QST's have full poplar wood cores with basalt and glass fibres, as well as Salomon's proven Cork Damplifier, where they inlay a cork and TPU border at the tip and tail to dampen vibrations. The 106 has a 22% rocker up front and 18% rocker in the tail. As you step down in width to 100 then 94, they reduce the rocker proportion by 1% at each end, for each drop in width.   FEEDBACK I enjoy all feedback about the show, so if you enjoyed this episode, or if you have any questions about skis we didn't cover, then please let us know by leaving a comment at Instagram or Facebook – we are @theskipodcast – or by dropping me an email theskipodcast@gmail.com There are now 273 episodes of The Ski Podcast to catch up with.

As parents, it's natural to want to smooth the path for our daughters—to protect them from hurt, hardship, and struggle. But when we make life too easy, we may unintentionally rob them of the very opportunities that build strength, character, and faith.  In this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, host Patti Garibay, Founder & Executive Director Emeritus, is joined by Erin Kunkle, co-founder of MAVEN and a veteran homeschooling mom, to talk about why struggle is not the enemy of growth—it's the catalyst for it. Erin draws from her experience as a ministry leader, speaker, and mom to highlight how over-helping can hinder a girl's emotional, mental, and spiritual development.  Together, Patti and Erin unpack why “lawnmower parenting” may feel loving in the moment but ultimately leaves girls unequipped for the challenges of life and faith. Instead, they remind us that it's through perseverance, problem-solving, and dependence on Christ that our daughters become resilient young women who pursue truth, goodness, and beauty.  Scripture References in this Episode:  Romans 5:3–4 — “Suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.”  James 1:2–4 — “Consider it pure joy… because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.”  Hebrews 12:11 — “No discipline seems pleasant at the time… later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace.”  Proverbs 22:6 — “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.”  If you've ever wrestled with knowing when to step in and when to step back, this episode will encourage you to trust God's design, embrace the power of perseverance, and equip your daughter to thrive—even when life gets hard.  To learn more about Erin's work and the MAVEN ministry, visit maventruth.com.  Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.     To find or start an AHG Troop in your area, visit americanheritagegirls.org. 

Send us a textThis week on the Montana Outdoor Podcast your Host Downrigger Dale had a great discussion with Greg Lemon, the Head of Communication and Education for the FWP. The main topic they covered was hunting land access. Most all the research on this topic has centered around two main areas, how do we get more land access and how do we keep the access we currently have. The number one reason we don't get access or lose access boils down to one thing, hunter and landowner relations. The sad fact is it only takes one bad hunter to lose access for all the good hunters. When you listen you'll learn all about the growth of and the current plans for a program called, It's Up to Us. Respect Access. Protect the Hunt. This podcast will give you some great information on that program and will give you some ideas on how you can help weed out the bad actors and how you can get even more access for your future hunts. When you listen you will also learn about some incredible incentives that Greg and his crew have come up with to entice us all to learn more ways to protect the access we have and how to get more. In fact, you can get a free three-month onX Elite membership (some restrictions apply) just for watching a video and taking a short test! Plus, you will be entered to win some great prizes! If that weren't enough there are a bunch of companies and individuals that are investing a TON into this including Montana State, University of Montana, onX, Maven, and VIAM Outdoors and the result is you will have a chance to win all kinds of prizes just for simply taking a little time to learn all about the “It's Up to Us” program.

David Lesch is a poster child for something. I'm just not sure what. On the one hand, given his personal reinvention from Los Angeles Dodgers first-round draft pick to official biographer of Bashar al Assad, some might consider him proof that the American Dream still exists. But others, including even himself , would argue that his incredible pivot from baseball protege to Harvard-educated Middle Eastern expert, reflects the privilege of his social class and perhaps even gender. In any event, the Lesch story is pretty amazing - which is why the San Antonio-based biographer Catherine Nixon Cooke has just published Dodgers to Damascus, the story of his journey from star pitcher to star diplomat. So it was intriguing to not only host Cooke but also David Lesch to discuss his highly unusual journey from the youthful potential of baseball to the grim reality of Bashar al Assad's Syria. 1. Privilege complicates the reinvention narrative Lesch's transformation from baseball to diplomacy required significant advantages - supportive family, financial stability, and access to elite education. His story demonstrates both genuine resilience and the reality that dramatic career pivots often depend on existing social capital.2. Failure as preparation has limits While Lesch credits baseball's culture of failure with preparing him for diplomacy, this framework works better in retrospect. The "fetishization of failure" narrative is easier to embrace after achieving success than during actual setbacks.3. American Middle East policy remains deeply flawed Despite Lesch's generous B-grade assessment based on narrow objectives (oil access, Israeli security, Soviet containment), the broader record suggests more fundamental failures in understanding regional complexities and long-term consequences.4. Assad's evolution illustrates power's corrupting force Lesch's insider perspective on Bashar al-Assad's transformation from potential reformer to authoritarian ruler provides a case study in how institutional constraints and personal ambition can override initial intentions.5. Listening skills transfer across domains The interview emphasizes how Lesch's approach to conflict resolution - particularly deep listening and cultural understanding - represents transferable expertise that America needs more of, regardless of political administration.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

As the Building Better Developers with AI season nears its close, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche revisit a topic every team faces but few get right: code consistency. In this episode, they explore how shared conventions, smart tooling, and simple documentation transform messy projects into scalable, high-quality systems. The Hidden Cost of Inconsistency Picture opening a project where every file tells a different story: mixed naming styles, conflicting error handling, and folders arranged on a whim. Before you can fix a bug or add a feature, you're lost in formatting chaos. Callout: Inconsistency wastes time, complicates onboarding, and hides defects—long before code reaches production. Rob notes that AI can now help. Define your preferred patterns—naming, structure, logging—and tools like ChatGPT can propose refactors that enforce uniformity. What Code Consistency Looks Like Consistency isn't about stifling creativity—it's about shared, predictable choices that reduce cognitive load. The essentials include: Naming & Structure – Clear, conventional names; sensible modules/packages. File Organization – Standard project layouts (Maven for Java, src/app folders in web projects). Comments & Docs – Concise explanations paired with readable code. Error Handling & Logging – A single, unified approach across the app. Michael highlights that without these agreements, containerized deployments break easily and new developers struggle to contribute. Why Teams Benefit from Code Consistency Rob compares a consistent codebase to a band playing in sync: individual instruments can vary, but the music holds together. That's the impact of code consistency. Benefits include: Communication: Developers spend less time deciphering quirks. Maintainability: Predictable structure accelerates debugging and onboarding. Quality: Automated tools enforce standards and prevent regressions. Professionalism: Consistent code signals engineering maturity, not just coding skill. Tools That Do the Heavy Lifting Michael insists that every team should enforce linters, formatters, and pre-commit hooks. Without them, a small change can appear as a full-file rewrite, confusing reviews and merges. Start with community standards like PEP8, Google Java Style, or eslint/prettier. Add checks to CI/CD pipelines. Document expectations in CONTRIBUTING.md or a team wiki. Pro Tip: One rule set, many editors. Don't let each IDE invent its own defaults. Debunking the Myths of Code Consistency “Standards kill creativity.” True creativity lies in solving problems, not inventing new brace styles. “It slows us down.” Alignment may take effort initially, but it saves hours of confusion later. “Every project is different.” Standards should evolve as living guidelines, not rigid laws. Michael adds that consistent libraries allow teams to reuse components across projects instead of duplicating them. How to Put Standards Into Practice Here's a simple rollout path: Choose a baseline such as PEP8 or Google Style. Automate formatting and linting. Add pre-commit hooks to stop violations early. Focus reviews on consistency, not just correctness. Document standards and revisit them quarterly. Encourage adoption. Praise clean diffs and fast merges. Your Developer Challenge Here's your action step: Pick one project and audit three files. How many naming styles, error-handling patterns, or file structures do you find? Then: Apply a linter or formatter. Document two conventions (naming + logging). Share them with your team. Small steps toward code consistency will save your team time, money, and frustration down the road.

"I believe when you put yourself in uncomfortable situations is when you grow the most. Living in a rural village, no running water, no electricity, and essentially being a doula in a middle Atlas Mountain Village for two and a half years, different language, different religion, you know, you just learn a lot about people." From Peace Corps volunteer in Morocco to CEO of Oxeon—the executive search firm reimagining healthcare leadership—Sonia Millsom has spent 30 years proving that the most uncomfortable paths lead to the greatest transformations. Her journey through healthcare's biggest successes (including helping scale Maven to unicorn status and Iora Health to a billion-dollar exit) taught her one critical truth: companies don't fail because of bad CEOs—they fail because the wrong people are at the wrong tables. Now at Oxeon, Sonia is fixing that problem by placing leaders at ALL the tables that matter: executive teams, boardrooms, and cap tables. Because after 13 years of data, she knows exactly what makes leaders successful—and it's not what most people think. "High performing teams have high degrees of psychological safety," she explains. But in today's world of AI disruption, multi-generational workforces, and constant pivots, that safety is harder to build than ever. Her solution? Stop looking for the CEO with three unicorn exits. Start looking for leaders who can "think again" like scientists, not preachers or prosecutors. In this episode of Inspiring Women with Laurie McGraw, Sonia also reveals: The 5 key attributes that predict leadership success (hint: clock speed matters more than credentials) Why women will control $34 trillion by 2030—and how that changes everything about healthcare What Peace Corps taught her about patient care that Harvard Business School never could The real reason companies pivot faster now (and why your old playbook won't save you) How ambient listening cameras preventing patient falls signals healthcare's AI future Why "life begins at the end of your comfort zone"—advice she's passing to her daughters The pattern recognition trap that causes investors to miss breakthrough leaders "Nothing is up and to the right all the time," Sonia admits. "When those times of when things go down is actually where you learn the most." From serving as a doula in rural Morocco to orchestrating billion-dollar healthcare transformations, Sonia Millsom proves that understanding people—whether patients in villages or executives in boardrooms—is the key to driving real change. At Oxeon, she's not just filling leadership positions; she's architecting the future of healthcare by ensuring the right leaders are at every table where decisions get made. Her motto? "Life begins at the end of your comfort zone." Her mission? Making sure healthcare's next generation of leaders—including her own daughters—are ready to be uncomfortable, curious, and kind enough to transform an industry that touches us all.
