Host: Annik Sobing Guest: Pete Mento Published: November 17, 2025 Length: ~34 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center   In this week's News Roundup, host Annik Sobing is joined by global trade expert Pete Mento for a fast-paced and deeply insightful conversation about how U.S. Customs and Border Protection is using AI-based targeting to detect valuation fraud, origin manipulation, and transshipment schemes. Pete explains why AI represents a new era of enforcement — where anomalies, false declarations, forced labor indicators, and risky supplier networks can be identified in seconds. He also warns that companies who think they're “getting away with” origin washing or transshipment are likely to be caught. The two also dive into the coming Supreme Court decision on IEEPA tariffs, possible refund scenarios, the political landscape, and why proper recordkeeping may determine who survives the next wave of enforcement. A high-energy, no-nonsense episode packed with real-world examples every importer needs to hear. KEY TAKEAWAYS

We moeten het over Rusland hebben. De dreiging lijkt toe te nemen: mysterieuze drones duiken overal in Europa op, en er is meer aan de hand “De Russen zijn er al,” schrijft historicus Beatrice de Graaf in NRC. “Maar waar zijn wíj?” Dat is de urgente vraag die Beatrice opwerpt. Ze doet onderzoek naar Russische inmenging en ziet zorgwekkende ontwikkelingen. Want Rusland voert niet alleen oorlog met wapens, maar ook met verhalen - cultureel, politiek en zelfs religieus. Kunnen we Rusland wel aan? En hoe stevig staan wij zelf eigenlijk in onze schoenen? David Boogerd gaat daarover in gesprek met het Ongelooflijke duo: historicus Beatrice de Graaf van de Universiteit Utrecht en theoloog Stefan Paas van de VU in Amsterdam en de Theologische Unviersiteit Utrecht Het gesprek vond plaats tijdens het EO Ondernemers Event in het EO-gebouw. We gaan weer live met De Ongelooflijke! Maandagavond 8 december zijn we live met Beatrice de Graaf in de Goudse Schouwburg in Gouda.

Hij trekt volle zalen in Nederland en België door te praten over… de dood. Wij zijn als samenleving geneigd de dood weg te stoppen - misschien jij ook wel - maar dat is volgens hem helemaal niet nodig. Sterker nog: “We moeten de dood herwaarderen, als onderdeel van het leven.” Dat zegt Manu Keirse, psycholoog en rouwdeskundige, van wie wereldwijd meer dan 200.000 boeken zijn verkocht. Al van jongs af aan ziet hij de dood van dichtbij en verdiept hij zich in het diepste lijden – en toch is hij een opgewekt en vrolijk mens. Hoe doet hij dat? Hoe gaat hij zelf om met sterfelijkheid, nu hij over een paar maanden tachtig wordt? Is de dood misschien niet zo eng als we denken? En hoe kijkt hij aan tegen geloof – en een leven na de dood? David Boogerd spreekt Manu Keirse uiteraard samen met vaste theoloog Stefan Paas, hoogleraar aan de VU in Amsterdam en de Theologische Universiteit Utrecht. We gaan weer live met De Ongelooflijke!

Het waren de spannendste Tweede Kamerverkiezingen ooit – zo wordt gezegd. Behalve voor Josse de Voogd, want die had de uitslag grotendeels goed voorspeld. Josse de Voogd is electoraal geograaf en heeft altijd een unieke blik op verkiezingsuitslagen – en vooral op de diepere, culturele, ja zelfs geologische lagen daaronder. Dat maakt gesprekken met Josse altijd anders dan met de politieke duiders die je al gehoord hebt. En wij kunnen het weten, want we spraken hem al twee keer eerder in De Ongelooflijke. Josse kent Nederland door en door. Hij is in elke gemeente geweest en wordt vrolijk van verkiezingskaarten. De uitslagenkaart van deze verkiezingen vindt hij zó interessant dat hij hem het liefst boven zijn bed zou hangen. In deze aflevering lopen we de politieke ‘blokken' langs – van links tot rechts, van het centrum tot de christelijke partijen. Hoe kon D66 winnen? Waarom blijft de PVV zo groot? En waarom vindt Stefan het ironisch dat het CDA wordt afgerekend op Henri Bontenbals uitspraak over artikel 23? David Boogerd in gesprek met Josse de Voogd – die je ook kunt kennen als schrijver van De Atlas van Afgehaakt Nederland – en vaste gast theoloog Stefan Paas, hoogleraar aan de VU Amsterdam en de Theologische Universiteit Utrecht.

Send us a textQuantum threats aren't waiting politely on the horizon, and neither should we. We kick off with Signal's bold move to deploy post-quantum encryption, unpacking the “belt and suspenders” approach that blends classical cryptography with quantum-resistant algorithms. No jargon traps—just clear takeaways on why this matters for privacy, resilience, and the pressure it puts on other messaging platforms to evolve. We point you to smart reads from Ars Technica and Bruce Schneier that make the technical guts approachable and actionable.From there, we switch gears into a focused CISSP Domain 8 walkthrough: how to weave security into every phase of the software development lifecycle. We talk practical integration across waterfall, agile, and DevOps; show why change management, continuous monitoring, and application-aware incident response are non-negotiable; and explain how maturity models like CMMI and BSIMM help teams move from reactive to repeatable. We also break down the developer's toolbox—secure language choices, vetted libraries with SCA, hardened runtimes, and IDE plugins that surface issues in real time—so teams can ship faster without trading away safety.Speed meets rigor in the CI/CD pipeline, where shift-left security comes alive with SAST, DAST, and SOAR-driven checks. We cover repository hygiene, secret scanning, and how to measure effectiveness with audit trails and risk analysis that map code issues to business impact. You'll get a clear view of third-party risk across COTS and open source, the shared responsibility model for SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS, and the daily practices that keep APIs from leaking data: least privilege, strict authorization, input validation, and rate limiting. We close with software-defined security—policies as code—bringing consistency, versioning, and automation to your defenses.

No cenário dinâmico do marketing digital e das vendas, a busca pela previsibilidade e eficiência tornou-se uma obsessão. Empresas de todos os portes anseiam por transformar o processo de vendas de uma “arte” intuitiva e, por vezes, caótica, em uma “ciência” replicável e escalável. Mas, seria essa transição meramente técnica? Ou há um profundo embate cultural e psicológico em jogo? O episódio do podcast Growth Diaries, com a participação de Daniel Lestinge, fundador da Blue Forecast, desvenda as complexidades dessa jornada, expondo a tensão entre a natureza humana dos vendedores e a frieza implacável dos dados. Mais do que um mero relatório de vendas, o que emerge é um manifesto sobre como a gestão de dados pode, paradoxalmente, humanizar e otimizar a máquina de receita, desde que se compreenda a intrincada dança entre pessoas, processos e algoritmos.A Evolução da Gestão Comercial: Do Grito ao AlgoritmoA história da gestão comercial é uma jornada fascinante, pontuada por transformações radicais. Houve um tempo em que o sucesso em vendas era sinônimo de carisma, persuasão e, muitas vezes, de uma boa dose de “gritos e motivação” por parte dos gestores. Era uma era onde a intuição reinava soberana, e a performance individual era celebrada, mas dificilmente replicável ou escalável. Max Weber, o sociólogo alemão, já observava no início do século XX a tendência da sociedade moderna à racionalização, onde a eficiência e a calculabilidade suplantariam a tradição e a emoção (Weber, 1978). Essa racionalização, que ele via nas burocracias, hoje se manifesta na busca incessante por métricas e processos no universo das vendas.Daniel Lestinge, com sua trajetória que migra de vendas para dados, é um testemunho vivo dessa evolução. Ele representa a nova guarda, que entende que a paixão e a motivação continuam sendo cruciais, mas precisam ser ancoradas em um arcabouço de dados e processos. O modelo artesanal, onde o “feeling” do vendedor era o KPI supremo, cede lugar a uma gestão que busca transformar a operação de vendas em uma “fábrica de receita” previsível. Não se trata de desumanizar, mas de otimizar. Como argumenta Peter Drucker, “o que não pode ser medido, não pode ser gerenciado” (Drucker, 1954). E no mundo das vendas, gerenciar significa entender o que funciona, por que funciona, e como replicar esse sucesso em escala.O Calcanhar de Aquiles Humano: Vendedores e o CRMApesar da inegável lógica por trás da gestão de vendas baseada em dados, o maior desafio reside, ironicamente, no elemento humano. Vendedores, por sua própria natureza, são movidos pela emoção, pela conexão pessoal e pela liberdade de ação. A ideia de preencher meticulosamente um CRM, seguir roteiros rígidos ou aderir a processos padronizados pode soar como uma camisa de força para muitos. Essa resistência não é meramente uma questão de preguiça ou má vontade; é um reflexo de vieses cognitivos e da aversão à perda, conceitos explorados por Daniel Kahneman e Amos Tversky em sua Teoria da Perspectiva (Kahneman & Tversky, 1979). A mudança de um método familiar para um novo, mesmo que comprovadamente mais eficiente, é percebida como uma perda de autonomia ou de um “jeito de fazer” que já trouxe resultados.A Blue Forecast, ao se deparar com essa realidade, precisou desenvolver uma abordagem que não apenas implementasse ferramentas de dados, mas que também promovesse uma profunda mudança cultural. A solução não está em impor, mas em demonstrar o valor. Quando os vendedores percebem que o CRM não é um instrumento de controle, mas uma ferramenta que os ajuda a fechar mais negócios, a gerenciar melhor seu pipeline e a identificar oportunidades que antes passariam despercebidas, a resistência diminui. É uma questão de traduzir a linguagem dos dados para a linguagem dos resultados tangíveis na vida do vendedor. Como Lestinge aponta, a gestão comercial precisa de visibilidade e controle, especialmente em ambientes remotos, e essa visibilidade só é alcançada com dados confiáveis, gerados por processos bem definidos.Data as a Service: O Modelo Blue Forecast e a Democratização da AnáliseA complexidade de montar e manter uma equipe de dados interna é um obstáculo significativo para muitas empresas, especialmente as de médio porte que faturam acima de 10 milhões por ano, mas que ainda não possuem a maturidade para um departamento de dados robusto. É nesse vácuo que o modelo “time de dados por assinatura” da Blue Forecast se posiciona como uma solução estratégica. Esse modelo reflete uma tendência econômica mais ampla: a “economia de serviços” ou “as-a-service” (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS), onde empresas podem acessar expertise e infraestrutura de ponta sem os custos fixos e os desafios de recrutamento e retenção de talentos.Ao oferecer times de dados por assinatura, a Blue Forecast democratiza o acesso à inteligência de negócios avançada. Empresas como Embracon e Ser Ronda, que talvez hesitassem em investir em uma estrutura de dados própria, podem agora alavancar análises sofisticadas para otimizar suas operações de vendas. Isso permite que se concentrem em seu core business, enquanto especialistas gerenciam a complexidade dos dados. É uma terceirização estratégica que não apenas reduz custos, mas também acelera a curva de aprendizado e a implementação de melhores práticas, conforme o conceito de vantagem competitiva de Michael Porter (Porter, 1985).A “Fábrica de Receita”: Previsibilidade em um Mundo IncertoA visão de transformar a operação de vendas em uma “fábrica de receita” é o cerne da proposta da Blue Forecast e um conceito poderoso para o marketing digital. Em um mercado cada vez mais volátil e competitivo, a previsibilidade é um ativo inestimável. Uma “fábrica de receita” implica um sistema onde as entradas (leads, atividades de vendas) são processadas de forma consistente para gerar saídas (vendas, receita) com uma taxa de conversão conhecida e gerenciável. Isso exige a aplicação de princípios de gestão de processos, como os popularizados pelo Lean Manufacturing e Six Sigma na indústria, adaptados para o universo das vendas (Womack & Jones, 2003).A chave para essa previsibilidade é a definição clara de processos e a medição constante de KPIs. Sem dados confiáveis, a “fábrica” operaria no escuro, sujeita a flutuações e ineficiências. Com eles, é possível identificar gargalos, otimizar etapas e prever resultados com maior acurácia. A previsibilidade não elimina a necessidade de inovação ou de adaptação a mudanças de mercado, mas fornece uma base sólida para a tomada de decisões, permitindo que as empresas reajam de forma proativa, e não apenas reativa.Governança de Dados: O Alicerce InvisívelUm dos pontos cruciais levantados por Lestinge é a necessidade de homologação dos dados. Em muitos casos, as empresas sequer possuem uma definição clara do que constitui uma “venda” ou um “lead qualificado”. Sem essa padronização, qualquer análise de dados será falha, construída sobre areia movediça. A governança de dados, portanto, torna-se o alicerce invisível sobre o qual toda a “fábrica de receita” é construída.A homologação envolve alinhar critérios, criar campos padronizados no CRM e garantir que todos os membros da equipe compreendam e sigam esses padrões. É um trabalho minucioso, mas essencial. Filosoficamente, pode-se traçar um paralelo com a busca pela verdade e consistência na epistemologia. Para que o conhecimento (neste caso, os insights de dados) seja válido, ele precisa ser fundamentado em premissas claras e consistentes. Dados inconsistentes levam a conclusões equivocadas e, consequentemente, a decisões de negócios erradas. Como alertam Davenport e Dyché, sem uma boa governança, os dados podem se tornar um passivo, não um ativo (Davenport & Dyché, 2013).Além dos Dashboards: A Cultura Data-Driven na PráticaTer dashboards bonitos é um bom começo, mas a verdadeira transformação acontece quando os dados permeiam a cultura organizacional. Daniel Lestinge destaca como as reuniões se transformam após a implementação das soluções da Blue Forecast. De debates improdutivos focados em atribuição de culpa, elas evoluem para sessões focadas em soluções e acompanhamento de iniciativas, utilizando ferramentas como PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) e 5W2H.Essa mudança de cultura é um desafio sociológico e psicológico complexo. Requer que os líderes modelem o comportamento desejado, que a equipe seja treinada para interpretar e agir com base nos dados, e que haja um ambiente de segurança psicológica onde os erros sejam vistos como oportunidades de aprendizado, não de punição. Edgar Schein, renomado teórico da cultura organizacional, enfatiza que a cultura é moldada por artefatos, valores e pressupostos básicos, e que a mudança cultural é um processo lento e deliberado (Schein, 2017). Ao transformar a forma como as reuniões são conduzidas, a Blue Forecast está, de fato, reescrevendo os rituais e as normas que sustentam a cultura de vendas de seus clientes.O Dilema da Imagem vs. Entrega: Lições do Ecossistema DigitalUm dos insights mais provocadores do episódio do Growth Diaries foi a reflexão sobre a influência das redes sociais e os “influenciadores corporativos”. Daniel e Victor observaram que, muitas vezes, há um foco excessivo na imagem dos fundadores e na retórica inspiradora, em detrimento da entrega real de valor estruturado. Essa crítica ressoa com a teoria da “sociedade do espetáculo” de Guy Debord, que descrevia uma sociedade onde as relações sociais são mediadas por imagens e o consumo de representações se sobrepõe à experiência direta e autêntica (Debord, 1994).No contexto do marketing digital e da educação corporativa, essa tendência pode ser perigosa. Empresas e indivíduos que constroem sua reputação apenas na imagem, sem a substância de processos sólidos e resultados concretos, correm o risco de se tornar “castelos de areia”. A mensagem de Daniel é clara: a entrega de resultados tangíveis e a transformação contínua são o que realmente fidelizam o cliente. Em uma era de excesso de informação e de “gurus” instantâneos, a autenticidade e a capacidade de gerar valor real são os diferenciais competitivos mais poderosos.A Autonomia do Cliente: Infraestrutura e FlexibilidadeUm aspecto técnico, mas de grande impacto estratégico, é a decisão da Blue Forecast de implantar todas as soluções na infraestrutura do cliente. Essa abordagem, que pode parecer mais trabalhosa à primeira vista, é fundamental para garantir a autonomia do cliente e evitar a chamada “dependência de fornecedor” (vendor lock-in). Ao hospedar os dados e as ferramentas na própria infraestrutura do cliente (seja AWS, GCP ou outra), a Blue Forecast assegura que o cliente mantém a posse e o controle de seus ativos digitais.Essa estratégia reflete uma compreensão profunda do valor a longo prazo para o cliente. Não se trata apenas de entregar uma solução, mas de capacitar o cliente. Em um mundo onde a segurança e a soberania dos dados são cada vez mais críticas, essa escolha técnica se traduz em um benefício estratégico, reforçando a confiança e a parceria. Além disso, a flexibilidade em adaptar-se à stack tecnológica do cliente demonstra uma abordagem centrada no cliente, um pilar fundamental para o sucesso de qualquer empresa de serviços, como ressaltado por autores como Frederick Reichheld sobre a lealdade do cliente (Reichheld, 1996).O ROI da Transparência: Casos de Sucesso e RetençãoO valor da análise de dados em vendas é mais bem ilustrado pelos casos de sucesso. Lestinge citou o exemplo de uma empresa de Telecom do Espírito Santo que, após a implementação de dashboards e processos estruturados, viu sua retenção (Customer Success) saltar de 27% para 54%. Esse é um testemunho poderoso do ROI da transparência e da governança de dados. A retenção de clientes é, muitas vezes, mais lucrativa do que a aquisição de novos, um princípio econômico bem estabelecido no marketing.O aumento da retenção não é um resultado mágico; é a consequência direta de uma melhor compreensão do cliente, da identificação proativa de riscos de churn e da capacidade de agir com base em insights. Quando a equipe de CS tem acesso a dados confiáveis sobre o comportamento do cliente, o uso do produto e o histórico de interações, ela pode intervir de forma mais eficaz, oferecendo soluções personalizadas e fortalecendo o relacionamento. Esse é o poder de transformar dados em ações estratégicas que impactam diretamente o resultado final.O Caminho à Frente: Priorizando o EssencialA mensagem final de Daniel Lestinge é um lembrete valioso em um mundo saturado de informações e soluções complexas: comece simples. Ele orienta focar inicialmente em construir processos claros, definir poucos KPIs essenciais e garantir que o time de vendas funcione de forma coesa, antes de buscar soluções excessivamente complexas. Essa abordagem minimalista e pragmática ecoa o Princípio de Pareto (80/20), onde a maioria dos resultados advém de um número limitado de causas (Koch, 1998).No contexto do marketing digital e da gestão de vendas, isso significa resistir à tentação de implementar todas as ferramentas e métricas disponíveis de uma vez. Em vez disso, a prioridade deve ser estabelecer uma base sólida de dados confiáveis e processos operacionais eficientes. A jornada é gradual, e o principal é progredir com foco e “mão na massa”. É um convite à ação deliberada e estratégica, em vez de uma corrida desenfreada por todas as inovações tecnológicas.Conclusão: A Sinfonia de Dados e HumanidadeO bate-papo no Growth Diaries com Daniel Lestinge transcendeu a mera discussão sobre análise de dados e vendas. Ele nos convidou a uma reflexão profunda sobre a natureza do trabalho, a psicologia humana e a evolução da gestão na era digital. A “fábrica de receita” não é um ideal frio e desumano; é a materialização da busca por eficiência e previsibilidade, que, quando bem implementada, pode liberar os vendedores para se concentrarem no que fazem de melhor: conectar-se com pessoas.A verdadeira maestria reside em orquestrar a sinfonia entre a precisão dos algoritmos e a intuição humana, entre a rigidez dos processos e a flexibilidade da criatividade. O futuro das vendas e do marketing digital não é apenas sobre coletar dados, mas sobre interpretá-los com sabedoria, aplicar essa sabedoria com propósito e, acima de tudo, lembrar que, no final das contas, estamos lidando com pessoas. A jornada é contínua, os desafios são constantes, mas a promessa de uma operação de receita mais eficiente e previsível, que respeita e amplifica o potencial humano, é um horizonte que vale a pena perseguir. É hora de salvar, reparar e decidir: vamos construir fábricas de receita que nutrem a alma humana ou nos perderemos na busca incessante por métricas vazias? A escolha é nossa.Referências (Estilo MLA)Davenport, Thomas H., and Jill Dyché. The New IT: How Technology Leaders Are Shaping the Digital Future. McGraw-Hill Education, 2013.Debord, Guy.

During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:25 Nikita: Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast! I'm Nikita Abraham, Team Lead: Editorial Services with Oracle University, and with me is Lois Houston, Director of Innovation Programs. Lois: Hey there! Last week, we spoke about how hypervisors, virtual machines, and containers have transformed data centers. Today, we're moving on to something just as important—the main cloud models that drive modern cloud computing. Nikita: Orlando Gentil, Principal OCI Instructor at Oracle University, joins us once again for part four of our discussion on cloud data centers.  01:01 Lois: Hi Orlando! Glad to have you with us today. Can you walk us through the different types of cloud models?  Orlando: These are commonly categorized into three main service models: Infrastructure-as-a-Service, Platform-as-a-Service, and Software-as-a-Service. Let's use the idea of getting around town to understand cloud service models. IaaS is like renting a car. You don't own the car, but you control where it goes, how fast, and when to stop. In cloud terms, the provider gives you the infrastructure—virtual machines, storage, and networking—but you manage everything on top—the OS, middleware, runtime, and application. Thus, it's like using a shuttle service. You bring your bags—your code, pick your destination—your app requirements, but someone else drives and maintains the vehicle. You don't worry about the engine, fuel, or routing planning. That's the platform's job. Your focus stays on development and deployment, not on servers or patching. SaaS is like ordering a taxi. You say where you want to go and everything else is handled for you. It's the full-service experience. In the cloud, SaaS is software UXs over the web—Email, CRM, project management. No infrastructure, no updates, just productivity.  02:32 Nikita: Ok. How do the trade-offs between control and convenience differ across SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS? Orlando: With IaaS, much like renting a car, you gain high control. You are managing components like the operating system, runtime, your applications, and your data. In return, the provider expertly handles the underlying virtual machines, storage, and networking. This model gives you immense flexibility. Moving to PaaS, our shuttle service, you shift to a medium level of control but gain significantly higher convenience. Your primary focus remains on your application code and data. The provider now takes on the heavy lifting of managing the runtime environment, the operating system, the servers themselves, and even the scaling. Finally, SaaS, our taxi service, offers the highest convenience with the lowest control level. Here, your responsibility is essentially just using the application and managing your specific configurations or data within it. The cloud provider manages absolutely everything else—the entire infrastructure, the platform, and the application itself. 03:52 Nikita: One of the top concerns for cloud users is cost optimization. How can we manage this? Orlando: Each cloud service model offers distinct strategies to help you manage and reduce your spending effectively, as well as different factors that drives those costs. For Infrastructure-as-a-Service, where you have more control, optimization largely revolves around smart resource management. This means rightsizing your VMs, ensuring they are not overprovisioned, and actively turning off idle resources when not in use. Leveraging preemptible or spot instances for flexible workloads can also significantly cut costs. Your charges here are directly tied to your compute, storage, and network usage, so efficiency is key. Moving to Platform-as-a-Service, where the platform is managed for you, optimization shifts slightly. Strategies include choosing scalable platforms that can efficiently handle fluctuating demand, opting for consumption-based pricing where available, and diligently optimizing your runtime usage to minimize processing time. Costs in PaaS are typically based on your application usage, runtime hours, and storage consumed. Finally, for Software-as-a-Service where you can consume a ready-to-use application, cost optimization centers on licensing and usage. This involves consolidating tools to avoid redundant subscriptions, selecting usage-based plans if they align better with your needs, and crucially, eliminating any unused license. SaaS costs are generally based on subscription or per user fees. Understanding these nuances is essential for effective cloud financial management.  05:52 Lois: Ok. And what about scalability? How does each model handle the ability to grow and shrink with demand, without needing manual hardware changes? Orlando: How you achieve and manage that scalability varies significantly across our three service models. For Infrastructure-as-a-Service, you have the most direct control over scaling. You can implement manual or auto scaling by adding or removing virtual machines as needed, often leveraging load balancers to distribute traffic. In this model, you configure the scaling policies and parameters based on your specific workload. Moving to Platform-as-a-Service, the scaling becomes more automated and elastic. The platform automatically adjusts resources based on your application's demand, allowing it to seamlessly handle traffic spikes or dips. Here, the provider manages the underlying scaling behavior, freeing you from that operational burden. Finally, with Software-as-a-Service, scalability is largely abstracted and invisible to the user. The application scales automatically in the background, with the entire process fully managed by the provider. As a user, you simply benefit from the application's ability to handle millions of users without ever needing to worry about the infrastructure. Understanding these scaling differences is crucial for selecting the right model for your application's need.  07:34 Join the Oracle University Learning Community and tap into a vibrant network of over 1 million members, including Oracle experts and fellow learners.

How does that work?  Orlando: Availability refers to the ability of a system or service to remain accessible in operational, even in the face of failures or extremely high demand. The approach of achieving and managing availability, and crucially, your role versus the provider's differs greatly across each model. With Infrastructure-as-a-Service, you have the most direct control over your availability strategy. You will be responsible for designing an architecture that includes redundant VMs, deploying load balancers, and potentially even multi-region setups for disaster recovery. Your specific roles involves designing this architecture and managing your failover process and data backups. The provider's role, in turn, is to deliver the underlying infrastructure with defined service level agreements, SLAs, and health monitoring. For Platform-as-a-Service, the platform itself offers a higher degree of built-in, high availability, and automated failover. While the provider maintains the runtime platform's availability, your role shifts. You need to ensure your application's logic is designed to gracefully handle retries and potential transient failures that might occur. Finally, with Software-as-a-Service, availability is almost entirely handled for you. The provider ensures fully abstracted redundancy and failover behind the scenes. Your role becomes largely minimal, often just involving a specific application's configurations. The provider is entirely responsible for the full application uptime and the underlying high availability infrastructure. Understanding these distinct roles in ensuring availability is essential for setting expectations and designing your cloud strategy efficiently. 10:19 Lois: Building on availability, let's talk Disaster Recovery. Orlando: DR is about ensuring your systems and data can be recovered and brought back online in the event of a significant failure, whether it's a hardware crash, a natural disaster, or even human error. Just like the other aspects, the strategy and responsibilities for DR vary significantly across the cloud service models. For Infrastructure-as-a Service, you have the most direct involvement in your DR strategy. You need to design and execute custom DR plans. This involves leveraging capabilities like multi-region backups, taking VM snapshots, and setting up failover clusters. A real-world example might be using Oracle Cloud compute to replicate your VMs to a secondary region with block volume backups to ensure business continuity. Essentially, you manage your entire DR process here. Moving to Platform-as-a-Service, disaster recovery becomes a shared responsibility. The platform itself offers built-in redundancy and provide APIs for backup and restore. Your role will be to configure the application-level recovery and ensure your data is backed up appropriately, while the provider handles the underlying infrastructure's DR capability. An example could be Azure app service, Oracle APEX applications, where your apps are redeployed from source control like Git after an incident. Finally, with Software-as-a-Service, disaster recovery is almost entirely vendor managed. The provider takes full responsibility, offering features like auto replication and continuous backup, often backed by specific Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO) SLAs. A common example is how Microsoft 365 or Salesforce manage user data backups in restoration. It's all handled seamlessly by the provider without your direct intervention. Understanding these different approaches to DR is crucial for defining your own business continuity plans in the cloud. 12:46 Lois: Thank you, Orlando, for this insightful discussion. To recap, we spoke about the three main cloud models: IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS, and how each one offers a different mix of control and convenience, impacting cost, scalability, availability, and recovery.  Nikita: Yeah, hopefully this helps you pick the right cloud solution for your needs. If you want to learn more about the topics we discussed today, head over to mylearn.oracle.com and search for the Cloud Tech Jumpstart course. In our next episode, we'll take a close look at the essentials of networking. Until then, this is Nikita Abraham… Lois: And Lois Houston, signing off! 13:26 That's all for this episode of the Oracle University Podcast.

Ze staat bekend als ‘de non op de Zuidas'. Want ze is daar advocaat - in het financiële hart van Amsterdam - aan de top van de zakelijke piramide. Maar ze is óók een toegewijd zuster binnen een katholieke gemeenschap. Isabella groeide grotendeels op zonder geloof, maar een rationele zoektocht – ze studeerde theologie en filosofie in Parijs – bracht haar tot de bijzondere plek waar ze nu is. Hoe houdt ze zich staande in het drukke, veeleisende leven van de Zuidas? En hoe vindt ze daarin rust en bezinning? Dat is iets waar we allemaal misschien wel van kunnen leren. David Boogerd spreekt Isabella Wijnberg uiteraard samen met vaste gast theoloog Stefan Paas, hoogleraar aan de VU in Amsterdam en de Theologische Universiteit Utrecht. We gaan weer live met De Ongelooflijke! Maandagavond 8 december zijn we live met Beatrice de Graaf in de Goudse Schouwburg in Gouda.

Episode 607 - M C Paas - Debut novel Broken Rules of The Hunt and of the Fight- Dark romantic suspenseM.C.Paas writes dark romantic suspense where happily ever after is earned through shadows, secrets, and a heartbeat of danger. Her obsession with storytelling began at fourteen with a single poem and has grown into six completed manuscripts that blend pulse pounding stakes with sinful chemistry. Her debut novel Broken Rules of The Hunt strands two broken souls on opposite sides of a crime that could destroy them or bind them forever.When she's not plotting twisted fates, M.C. haunts Estonian coffeehouses, sketches gothic‑tinged art, and spoils her horses to no end. A certified bookworm, she lives for late night page turners and reader DMs.Book: BROKEN RULES OF THE HUNTWildcat is an elite criminal, thriving in a world built on danger and deception. But when an unknown syndicate places a massive bounty on her head, she becomes the hunted. Betrayed by the very criminal society she once ruled, Wildcat is thrust into a high stakes game of survival where every move could be her last.Enter Fox, a seductive and cunning rival. Torn between claiming the bounty or helping her uncover the dark secrets of her past, he becomes both Wildcat's greatest threat and her only chance at survival. With powerful enemies closing in and her heart on the line, Wildcat must decide: can she trust the man who has the power to destroy her? Or will falling for him be her most dangerous gamble yet?In a world where loyalty is deadly and betrayal is currency, the ultimate prize is her life and the cost of love could be her death.This is a pulse pounding tale of passion, betrayal, and high stakes danger, where the price of trust is survival, and the ultimate heist is her heart.Book: BROKEN RULES OF THE FIGHTIn the brutal world of the Undercrowd, Serpent has built his own empire. An underground fighting ring where only men step into the cage. It keeps things simple. Controlled. But when his search for his abducted sister leads him to the Russian Bratva's human trafficking network, his path collides with the last person he ever expected to see alive – Phoenix.Once a rising star in the ring, Phoenix was supposed to be dead. Now, she's an Undercrowder, a ghost in the criminal underworld, fighting for survival. And she might be the key to unraveling the Bratva's secrets. Serpent swore he'd never deal with female fighters again, but Phoenix isn't just any fighter. She's a force of nature.To take down the Bratva and uncover the truth, they'll have to break every rule, fight against their pasts, and trust each other in a world where trust is a death sentence.Because in the Undercrowd, the only thing deadlier than the fight itself… is coming back from the grave.https://mcpaaswrites.com/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

Live from Sibos, TMI's Eleanor Hill speaks with Kevin Flood (FIS) about the next wave of payments innovation and what it really means for corporate treasurers. Our guest discusses how banks and providers are enhancing the corporate payments experience and balancing innovation with treasurers' core priorities around speed, accuracy, and reconciliation. Kevin also explores the rise of Payments-as-a-Service and why modernising infrastructure will be key to meeting regulatory deadlines and enabling the next generation of instant payments.

Wát een dagen hebben wij (en de wereld) achter de rug. Zou het dan tóch gebeuren? Vrede in het Midden-Oosten? De eerste stappen lijken gezet: er is een akkoord gesloten tussen Israël en Hamas. En dat was allemaal misschien wel ondenkbaar geweest zonder die ene man: Donald J. Trump. Wat zegt dit? En hoe hoopvol kunnen we zijn? Hoe bereik je vrede? Wordt vrede gerealiseerd door zachte krachten -  vredesinitiatieven, activisten, geestelijke leiders - of door harde machtspolitiek van Trump en oliesjeiks? Dat bespreekt David Boogerd met hét Ongelooflijke duo: historicus Beatrice de Graaf, hoogleraar aan de Universiteit Utrecht, en theoloog Stefan Paas, hoogleraar aan de VU en de Theologische Universiteit Utrecht.

professorjrod@gmail.comCloud perimeters are fading, identities are multiplying, and threats move faster than patches. We dive into the real mechanics of securing a hybrid world—mapping cloud deployment choices, clarifying shared responsibility across SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS, and showing how Zero Trust reshapes defenses around identity, posture, and context. It's a practical tour from first principles to field-tested patterns, grounded by case studies like Capital One and SolarWinds and anchored in frameworks such as NIST SP 800-207.We start by decoding public, private, hosted private, community, and hybrid models, then connect those choices to risk: multi-tenant isolation, data flows between zones, and the observability challenges of decentralization. From there, we move into reliability engineering—high availability, geo-redundancy, disaster recovery—and the role Kubernetes plays in scaling securely, with a frank look at container pitfalls and how least privilege and image scanning reduce blast radius. Automation takes center stage with infrastructure as code, autoscaling, and software-defined networking, plus how SASE brings secure access to a remote-first workforce without bolting on more complexity.Embedded systems and IoT get a hard look: scarce memory, weak encryption, default credentials, and unpatchable firmware that turns convenience into risk. We offer a simple playbook—segment aggressively, enforce egress controls, rotate credentials, and plan device lifecycles—to stop small sensors from causing big outages. Zero Trust ties it all together: never trust, always verify; microsegment to prevent lateral movement; and evaluate every access request through identity, device health, and real-time signals. Along the way, we weave in Security+ exam-style questions so you can test your knowledge and lock in the fundamentals.If this helped you see your cloud and Zero Trust roadmap more clearly, follow the show, share it with a teammate, and leave a quick review.

In this episode of HappyPorch Radio, hosts Barry O'Kane and Jo Weston talk with Frans Biegstraaten, co-founder of BIYU, a modular rental, subscription and PAAS platform helping businesses build circular systems that scale.BIYU started as a consumer rental service in Amsterdam, offering same-day delivery on everything from drills to electric bikes. When the business had to pivot, Frans and his team transformed their operational know-how and internal software into a SaaS product that now supports circular businesses across Europe.✨ In this episode we learn about: • The journey from consumer rental startup to multi-tenant SaaS provider • How BIYU's tech manages repair, refurbishment, and reverse logistics. • Why integrating circular systems with existing tech like Shopify and Firmhouse matters. • The challenges and rewards of building circular tech through experimentation. • How BIYU enables brands to pilot circular models before full adoption.

Kees van Ekris is sinds kort scriba – zeg maar de leider – van bijna anderhalf miljoen Nederlanders. Want zoveel leden telt de Protestantse Kerk in Nederland. Kees staat bekend om zijn scherpe en bezielde observaties over cultuur en samenleving. En dat komt goed uit, want het zijn ronduit woelige tijden. We zagen in Den Haag een ‘eigen volk eerst'-demonstrantie, waar nota bene christelijke symboliek gebruikt werd. Ook zagen we de doodgeschoten Amerikaanse activist Charlie Kirk bijna heilig verklaard worden. Maar, zegt Van Ekris, ook aan progressieve kant bestaan mythes die doorgeprikt moeten worden. En hoe zorgen we ervoor dat de oorlog tussen Israël en Gaza – die ook Kees zijn eigen kerk ontzettend verdeelt - ons niet verder uit elkaar speelt? David Boogerd sprak met Kees van Ekris, samen met vaste gast en theoloog Stefan Paas, voor een paar honderd Ongelooflijke luisteraars – live – in de Grote Kerk in Driebergen. We gaan weer live met De Ongelooflijke! Maandagavond 8 december zijn we live in de Goudse Schouwburg in Gouda.

‘We hebben als Europa onze ziel verkocht', met de nadruk op verkocht. Dat zegt econoom Paul Schenderling. In zijn nieuwe boek Continent van de kwaliteit analyseert hij scherp wat er misgaat in onze economie én cultuur. En de oorzaak zit dieper dan koopkrachtplaatjes – veel dieper. Volgens Schenderling is er een grondige verbouwing nodig van onze economie en samenleving. Maar, zo benadrukt hij, er gloort ook hoop: een ander vooruitgangsverhaal is mogelijk. Is de ziel van Europa nog te redden? Paul Schenderling is al voor de vierde keer te gast in De Ongelooflijke. Vaste luisteraars weten: gesprekken met hem zijn altijd ontzettend inzichtgeven en interessant – ook als je normaal gesproken niet van economie houdt. David Boogerd spreekt hem uiteraard samen met vast gast theoloog Stefan Paas, hoogleraar aan de VU in Amsterdam en de Theologische Universiteit Utrecht.

Rick Bensignor, President of Bensignor Investment Strategies and editor of Supposedly Irrelevant Factors, joins us to discuss practical trading strategies for persistent bull markets across U.S. equities, precious metals, and select international markets. We focus on how to manage winners without getting shaken out by every “it's overbought” headline. Key takeaways Separate long-term holdings from tactical trades. Trim or hedge positions at technical targets instead of selling outright. Spotting exhaustion signals at highs with tools like DeMark counts. Case studies: trimming $TSLA, $INTC, $PAAS; tactical put spreads in $GLD. Why most investors should limit trading to 10-15% of assets and let ETFs ($SPY, $QQQ, $DIA) compound long term.   Stocks & ETFs mentioned SPY, QQQ, DIA, TSLA, PAAS, SLV, GLD, GDX, INTC, NVDA, PFE.

Over een maand gaan we naar de stembus. Maar wat staat er écht op het spel? Misschien wel de democratie zelf. Schrijver en essayist Roxane van Iperen waarschuwt dat we op een kantelpunt staan. Je voelt het overal broeien: in Amerika, met de moord op activist Charlie Kirk en president Trump die zelfs comedians van de buis wil weren. Maar ook in Nederland groeit het onbehagen. Waar zit het probleem? Is het economisch, cultureel – of heeft het te maken met de grote zingevingscrisis waar Roxane over schrijft? En ja, we kijken vaak naar de fouten van populistisch rechts. Maar welke fouten heeft links eigenlijk gemaakt? Roxane van Iperen schreef er een urgent essay over: Eigen planeet eerst. Waarom onze democratie geen antwoord heeft op het grootste vraagstuk van deze tijd. David Boogerd spreekt Roxane van Iperen uiteraard samen met vast gast theoloog Stefan Paas, hoogleraar aan de VU in Amsterdam en de Theologische Universiteit Utrecht.

Hoe kom je als mens nou écht tot je recht? Die vraag staat centraal in het monumentale boek – zeg maar gerust levenswerk – van filosoof en emeritus hoogleraar Gabriël van den Brink. Hij onderzocht de geschiedenis van de mens, van de oertijd tot nu, en komt tot een urgente conclusie: we zijn onszelf onderweg kwijtgeraakt. De moderne tijd waarin we leven sluit steeds minder aan bij wie wij als mensen ten diepste – en van nature – zijn. We raken met onszelf in de knoop. De grote vraag is: hoe komen we daar weer uit? Of scherper nog: wie zijn wij eigenlijk, ten diepste? Het boek heet De actualiteit van het archaïsche, tegen de moedeloosheid van de moderne tijd. David Boogerd gaat erover in gesprek met een vurige Gabriël van den Brink en natuurlijk vaste gast theoloog Stefan Paas, hoogleraar aan de VU in Amsterdam en de Theologische Universiteit Utrecht.

This week, Fully Booked turns the conversation to the complex and often misunderstood world of dark romance and the anti-heroes that readers obsess over. Actor, coach, and author M.C. Paas joins Craig and Roland to explore the emotional depth and psychological nuance behind stories of morally gray characters, dangerous obsessions, and high-stakes relationships. Drawing on her upbringing in post-Soviet Estonia, M.C. reveals how personal history and deep emotional awareness shape her writing, and why dark romance offers a safe space to explore the forbidden. The discussion examines the ethics of writing taboo characters, the central role of consent in fiction, and the enduring appeal of protagonists who might be irredeemable in real life. M.C. explains how fantasy provides freedom rather than endorsement, and how these stories can bring catharsis, solidarity, and even healing. Whether you're looking to craft your own unforgettable anti-heroes or curious about what makes them so irresistible to readers, this episode offers an unflinching look at why darkness can tell the most powerful love stories.   M.C.

We leven in een buitengewone tijd, waarin oude verhalen afbrokkelen en nieuwe verhalen ontstaan. Een soort tussenfase, vol chaos en verandering – of, met een moeilijk woord: liminaliteit. Dat zegt antropoloog Jitske Kramer in haar boek Tricky Tijden. Volgens haar zijn we ‘cultureel verdwaald' – en dat heeft één duidelijke reden. Om als samenleving weer de weg terug te vinden, hebben we rituelen en verhalen nodig. Maar welke dan? Waar vinden we houvast? Volgens Jitske moeten we ‘de sjamaan en magiër' in onszelf aanspreken. Wat houdt dat in? En is dat een betere plek om te zoeken dan de religieuze tradities dichter bij huis, zoals de kerk? David Boogerd spreekt Jitske Kramer uiteraard samen met vaste gast theoloog Stefan Paas, hoogleraar aan de VU in Amsterdam en de Theologische Universiteit Utrecht.

Misschien ben jij ook volledig het overzicht kwijt als het gaat om Israël, Hamas en de verschrikkingen in Gaza. De propaganda vliegt je om de oren – wat kun je nog geloven? En de wereld vraagt zich steeds meer af: waar is Israël in hemelsnaam mee bezig? Het land komt ook steeds meer alleen te staan. Frankrijk en het Verenigd Koninkrijk willen de Palestijnse staat erkennen, net als het CDA hier in Nederland. Zien we een grote verschuiving? Wat is er allemaal gaande? Wij kennen niemand aan wie we dat beter kunnen vragen dan Jan van Benthem, historicus en buitenlandcommentator van het Nederlands Dagblad. Hij volgt dit conflict al jaren, heeft contacten aan beide zijden en sprak zelfs eens onvrijwillig met Hamas, vertelde hij vorige keer. We hebben veel vragen om te stellen, en David Boogerd doet dat uiteraard samen met vaste gast theoloog Stefan Paas, hoogleraar aan de VU in Amsterdam en de Theologische Universiteit Utrecht.

How to Build Circular Commerce Infrastructure with Bob JansenWhat makes a rental or product-as-a-service (PaaS) business model work, and what role does technology really play in making that happen?In this episode of HappyPorch Radio, we're joined by Bob Jansen, founder of Firmhouse, a recurring commerce platform enabling subscription, rental and PaaS business models. Bob shares lessons from his journey, from building MVPs as an agency to helping major brands like Philips pilot rental models and now supporting a wide range of circular and subscription businesses across Europe.We explore the operational complexity of rental and PaaS businesses, the ongoing challenge of accessing capital, and why convenience and service are often bigger customer drivers than sustainability alone.✨ In this episode:Bob reflects on the financing challenges that continue to block scale for circular rental modelsWe hear examples of real-world companies using Firmhouse, from kids' bike subscriptions to coffee and consumablesBob explains how hybrid models like revenue sharing are emerging to address financial barriersWe discuss how Firmhouse is using AI to both speed up internal development and enable smarter, simpler features for usersBob shares how the team is building “digital teammates” that help customers operate more efficiently and with fewer resourcesWe explore the nuts and bolts of the Firmhouse platform, from logistics and localisation to return management and ID checksBob talks about building toward “planet positive” business infrastructure and what progress, not perfection, looks like in circularity

Hij reist al 25 jaar kriskras door Nederland — en vooral ook langs de rafelranden. Wat hij daar ziet: schoonheid, bijzondere mensen en vergeten geschiedenissen. Die ontmoetingen zetten Hilbrand Rozema aan het denken over ons land, en in het bijzonder over de Nederlandse identiteit. We moeten weer van Nederland gaan houden, vindt hij. Maar waarvan dan precies? En wat waren de meest bijzondere – misschien zelfs heilige – momenten die hij onderweg meemaakte? En waarom moeten we de wereld gaan 'herraadselen'? Dat vragen we aan Hilbrand Rozema, schrijver van het boek Tijd is een leeuwerik. Hij is journalist bij het Nederlands Dagblad en inmiddels voor het tweede jaar op rij genomineerd voor De Tegel, de belangrijkste journalistieke prijs van Nederland. David Boogerd spreekt hem uiteraard samen met vaste gast Stefan Paas, theoloog en hoogleraar aan de Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam en de Theologische Universiteit Utrecht.

How Tech Enables Circular Innovation – with Patrick HypscherWhat does it really take to build circular business models — and how can technology accelerate that transformation?In this episode of HappyPorch Radio, we're joined by Patrick Hypscher, a circular business strategist, advisor, and the voice behind Circularity.fm. Patrick brings unique insights from working at the intersection of digital innovation and the circular economy — from launching a software startup to building BlueMovement, a home appliance subscription service inside Bosch Siemens Home Appliances (BSH).We explore the vital role of technology in enabling, scaling, and adapting circular models, particularly product-as-a-service (PaaS). Patrick shares honest reflections on what worked, what didn't, and how thoughtful use of digital tools can remove friction, support iteration, and accelerate progress.In this episode:Patrick explains why building in-house tech is often unnecessary — and even risky — for early-stage PaaS ventures.We discuss how SaaS tools, APIs, and no-code platforms offer the flexibility needed to support fast iteration and growth.Patrick explores the enabling role of IoT and remote condition monitoring in rental and performance-based models.He shares real-world examples, including cooling-as-a-service from Kaer, pay-per-part manufacturing at Trumpf, HP Instant Ink, and Hilti subscriptions.We reflect on organisational culture, channel conflict, and internal buy-in — and how to navigate these in large businesses.Finally, we explore the importance of iteration, adaptability, and learning cycles when piloting circular models.This episode offers practical insights for anyone working at the intersection of digital systems and circular design.Mentioned in this episode:BlueMovement (BSH): https://www.bluemovement.com/nl-enKaer – Cooling-as-a-Service: https://www.kaer.com/Trumpf – Pay-per-Part Manufacturing: https://www.trumpf.com/en_INT/HP Instant Ink: https://instantink.hpconnected.com/uk/en/l/v2Hilti Tool Subscriptions: https://www.hilti.co.uk/content/hilti/E1/GB/en/support/support/faqs/subscription-portal/general-subscription-portal.htmlAbout our guest:Patrick Hypscher is a circular strategist and the host of Circularity.fm, where he interviews founders and practitioners building real-world circular business models.

Niet iedereen heeft het door, maar we zitten midden in een nieuwe ruimtewedloop — een nieuwe ‘space race'. Grootmachten als de VS, Rusland en China richten hun blik opnieuw op de ruimte. Niet alleen voor satellieten of communicatie, maar ook voor bewapening. Of zelfs: oorlog. En ook Nederland doet mee. Sinds deze maand is de Luchtmacht — of officieel: het Commando Luchtstrijdkrachten — omgedoopt tot het Commando Lucht- en Ruimtestrijdkrachten. Klinkt als sciencefiction, maar dat is het niet. In deze aflevering spreken we met luitenant-kolonel Shar Timman van deze nieuwe ruimtestrijdkrachten. Ze studeerde ruimtevaarttechniek, promoveerde bij de Europese ruimtevaartorganisatie ESA, werkte mee aan een maanmissie en zit aan de knoppen van satellieten. Momenteel werkt ze als enige Nederlander bij het NATO Space Centre of Excellence. En — ook interessant voor onze podcast — ze is gelovig, christelijk. Heeft dat invloed op hoe zij naar de wereld - en de ruimte - kijkt? David Boogerd spreekt haar samen met vaste gast theoloog Stefan Paas, hoogleraar aan de VU in Amsterdam en de Theologische Universiteit Utrecht.

De machines rukken op! Of het nou gaat om de smartphone, kunstmatige intelligentie, of dieper nog: de manier waarop we onbewust naar de wereld kijken. Ons hele leven – en zelfs ons mensbeeld – is beïnvloed door de machine. Zijn wij de machines nog de baas, of is het inmiddels andersom? Roderick Nieuwenhuis is daarom terug in De Ongelooflijke. Hij is journalist, historicus en schreef het boek 'Mens en machine'. Het mooie aan Roderick is: hij heeft altijd goede verhalen – én dingen die je nog niet wist. In deze aflevering struinen we door de geschiedenis en literatuur, langs grote denkers, kunstenaars en kantelmomenten. Roderick knoopt het allemaal aan elkaar en eindigt bij een cruciale vraag: wat doet techniek met onze ziel? En hoe gaan we daar goed mee om? Roderick Nieuwenhuis is naast schrijver ook docent journalistiek aan Hogeschool Windesheim. David Boogerd sprak hem samen met onze vaste gast, theoloog Stefan Paas, hoogleraar aan de VU in Amsterdam en de Theologische Universiteit Utrecht.

Wij Nederlanders zijn vrij, tolerant en verlicht! Dat is althans hoe we onszelf graag zien. Maar waar komt dat beeld vandaan? En is het wel terecht? Of kleeft er ook een schaduwkant aan onze nationale trots? Spoiler: ja, dat stelt theoloog Janneke Stegeman in haar nieuwe boek Uitverkoren, hoe Nederland aan zijn zelfbeeld komt, dat ze samen met Saskia Pieterse schreef. Een boek dat misschien wel leest als een donderpreek. Maar is het echt zo erg gesteld met onze geschiedenis? En ook specifiek de protestantse, christelijke kant ervan? En zo ja, wáár moeten we het dan gaan zoeken? Of valt er ook een positiever verhaal te vertellen? Belangrijke vragen, die in deze aflevering ook leiden tot een fundamentele discussie. Janneke Stegeman is voormalig Theoloog des Vaderlands en docent aan de Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam. David Boogerd sprak haar uiteraard samen met vaste gast en theoloog Stefan Paas, hoogleraar aan de VU en de Theologische Universiteit Utrecht.

La course à la souveraineté des données dans le monde est officiellement déclarée.Parmi les acteurs qui ont pris les rênes du Cloud mondial, une (trop) grande majorité est américaine. Amazon, Google et Microsoft en tête.En Europe, un seul acteur semble capable de les concurrencer et d'assurer notre souveraineté : OVH Cloud.À sa tête, un homme discret mais immensément brillant, qui n'accorde que très rarement sa parole aux médias. Un échange unique dans GDIY.Octave Klaba a grandi au cœur de la Pologne communiste des années 70. Soupçonnée et espionnée par le régime, sa famille finit par fuir le pays pour revenir s'installer en France.Après un lycée et un parcours en école d'ingénieur, Octave sens très vite qu'il ne correspond pas au fonctionnement des entreprises classiques. Il ne reste que 3 semaines chez Alcatel avant de poser sa démission.Il lance alors OVH à 19 ans sous format associatif et se prend d'une véritable obsession pour résoudre les problèmes de ses clients.Aujourd'hui, OVH est leader incontesté du Cloud en Europe : 3000 collaborateurs, 40 datacenters, et près d'un milliard de chiffres d'affaires en 2024.Octave n'a qu'une mission : prouver que la dépendance vis-à-vis des Big Techs américaines n'est pas insoluble et qu'un autre modèle plus libre, plus souverain est possible.Dans cet échange exceptionnel, il livre les dessous de cette guerre pour la souveraineté technologique dans laquelle il est l'un des seuls à défendre les intérêts européens et à se hisser à la hauteur des géants Américains.TIMELINE:00:00:00 : grandir au cœur de la Pologne communiste00:17:53 : le clan Klaba, premier atout d'OVH00:25:21 : “c'est quand on est face à un mur avec un pistolet sur la tempe qu'on a les meilleures idées”00:32:10 : abandonner tous les projets qui ne peuvent pas faire 1 million par mois sous 3 ans00:41:07 : s'imposer comme une référence, du simple stockage de données au quantique00:55:35 : du lancement de l'entreprise jusqu'au premier salaire 18 mois plus tard01:07:13 : concurrencer Microsoft, Amazon et Google en créant une confiance ultra-profonde avec les clients01:19:14 : l'incendie ravageur mais aussi révélateur du datacenter de Strasbourg01:28:23 : les services secrets, grands gagnants de la guerre des datas01:38:02 : “le vrai enjeu maintenant c'est plus la souveraineté des données, c'est la souveraineté technologique”01:47:07 : la domination purement commerciale des géants Américains01:56:56 : le marché colossal sur lequel OVH est assis02:08:17 : pourquoi les entreprises doivent utiliser l'IA pour autre chose que faire des économies02:15:04 : le rôle d'OVH dans la course à l'IA02:22:16 : comment s'affranchir des mastodontes US et trouver des alternatives européennes02:31:57 : construire des éoliennes pour avoir sa propre énergie02:40:12 : pourquoi dépenser plusieurs millions pour un ordinateur quantiqueLes anciens épisodes de GDIY mentionnés : #475 - VO - Shane Parrish - Farnam Street - Clear Thinking: The Decision-Making Expert#401 - David Baverez - Essayiste, économiste - Sommes-nous entrés en économie de guerre ?#450 - Karim Beguir - InstaDeep - L'IA Générale ?

Welcome back to HappyPorch Radio: the circular economy technology podcast!In this episode our hosts Barry O'Kane and Jo Weston are joined by Yann Toutant, CEO and Co-founder of Black Winch who are the world's exclusive authority in Product-As-A-Service (PaaS) solutions. At the beginning of the conversation Yann explains Black Winch's work and how they engage, inspire and empower intrapreneurs to achieve their PaaS ambitions by building and scaling their in-house recurring revenue models. Drawing on his experience guiding manufacturers through the transition to outcome-based services, Yann offers a deep dive into both the opportunities and the operational realities of implementing PaaS and discusses the importance of a long-term thinking strategy to make PaaS successful in any business.Yann also highlights key differences between B2B and B2C adoption of as-a-service models and talks about how technology plays a critical role in enabling these models. He outlines the importance of asset tracking, consumption data, billing complexity management, and reverse logistics—all underpinned by flexible tech stacks that evolve as the business scales. Looking ahead, Yann envisions that manufacturers will want to retain ownership of raw materials and explains how urban mining and material recovery will become strategic advantages.Tune in to learn about how new generations of data-driven leaders will continue to accelerate the shift towards PaaS and much more!This podcast is brought to you by HappyPorch.

Matt Maley believes markets could see new all-time highs but he wants to see "a little upside follow through." On the intermediate term he does have some concerns about market valuation, but that doesn't stop him from sharing some stock picks. For Amazon (AMZN), he believes there is still further upside and catch-up compared to the rest of the Mag 7 stocks. Then, he looks at the IWM ETF, which is representative of Russell 2000, as a possible source of value. Lastly, he likes Pan American Silver (PAAS) as a defensive play.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

When we use the phrase "talent gap" in cybersecurity, we're usually talking about adding headcount. For this interview, however, we're focusing on a gap that is evident within existing teams and practitioners - the often misunderstood soft skills gap. Side note: I really hate the term "soft skills". How about we call them "fundamental business skills", or "invaluable career advancement skills"? Hmm, doesn't quite roll off the tongue the same. Soft skills can impact everything, as they impose the limits of how we interact with our world. That goes for co-worker interactions, career advancements, and how we're perceived by our peers and community. It doesn't matter how brilliant you might be - without soft skills, your potential could be severely limited. Did you know that soft skills issues contributed to the Equifax breach? We'll also discuss how fear is related to some of the same limitations and challenges as soft skills.
