Je hoort het vaak: we leven in het tijdperk van de sterke man. Poetin, Trump en Xi Jinping: leiders die beloven hun land weer groot te maken, en weinig moeten hebben van tegenspraak, instituties en de vrijheid van anderen. Maar is die sterke man eigenlijk wel zo sterk als hij lijkt? Poetin bijt zich stuk op Oekraïne. Trump krijgt Iran niet zomaar naar zijn hand. En ook China heeft problemen. Misschien laat onze tijd niet alleen de terugkeer van de sterke man zien, maar ook zijn zwakte. Misschien hebben tirannen wel niet het laatste woord. En misschien zijn die oude, trage, ogenschijnlijk gezapige democratieën wel krachtiger dan we denken. David Boogerd bespreekt het met hét Ongelooflijke duo: historicus Beatrice de Graaf van de Universiteit Utrecht en theoloog Stefan Paas van de VU in Amsterdam en de Theologische Universiteit Utrecht. Het werd een fascinerend gesprek over Poetin, Trump, Calvijn, het Wilhelmus, 250 jaar Amerika en een visioen over reuzen op lemen voeten.

Misschien ben jij ook wel een nationalist? Bij nationalisme denk je al snel aan vlaggen, opzwepende politici en bloederige oorlogen. Maar nationalisme zit veel dieper. In ons dagelijks leven: in ons eten, ons landschap, onze gebouwen, onze huisdieren en natuurlijk in sport – denk aan het WK voetbal. En misschien zit het vooral in ons hoofd. We vinden landen zó vanzelfsprekend dat we bijna vergeten hoe jong het idee van de natiestaat eigenlijk is: nog maar zo'n 250 jaar oud. En toch heeft dat idee vrijwel de hele wereld veroverd. Waarom is nationalisme zo succesvol? Waarom komt het juist nu weer zo sterk terug? En wat bedoelen mensen eigenlijk als ze bij AZC-demonstraties roepen: “Wij zijn Nederland”?  In deze aflevering spreekt David Boogerd met historicus Eric Storm, verbonden aan de Universiteit Leiden en auteur van het imposante boek Nationalisme. Een wereldgeschiedenis. Samen met vaste gast theoloog Stefan Paas, hoogleraar aan de VU in Amsterdam en de Theologische Universiteit Utrecht, gaan we op een hitorische tocht langs natiestaten, grenzen, burgerschap en identiteit. En natuurlijk gaat het ook over een echte Ongelooflijke vraag: is nationalisme misschien een soort seculiere religie geworden – een verhaal groter dan jezelf, met rituelen, helden en offers. Een leerzaam en verrassend gesprek waarin nogal wat vanzelfsprekendheden sneuvelen.

Stel je voor: je krijgt een chip van Elon Musk in je hersenen, waardoor je met je gedachten een computermuis of robt kunt besturen. Klinkt als sciencefiction, maar het gebeurt nu al. Maaike Harmsen sprak met prak met de man die als eerste die chip kreeg geïmplanteerd. Musk wil met zo'n chip de mens verbeteren, en hij staat daar bepaald niet alleen in. Misschien heb je het nog niet door, maar er woedt op dit moment een strijd om wat een mens eigenlijk is. Ook AI – kunstmatige intelligentie – speelt daarin een grote rol. Of je het nou gebruikt of niet, de ontwikkelingen gaan razendsnel. En ze zijn fundamenteel. Een van de oprichters van Anthropic, een van de grootste AI-bedrijven ter wereld, zei onlangs: “Dit zijn niet de koude, berekenende robots die ons beloofd waren. Ik zal eerlijk zijn: we blijven dingen tegenkomen die mysterieus, of zelfs verontrustend zijn.” Opvallend genoeg zei hij dat terwijl hij naast de paus zat. Want ook paus Leo XIV mengt zich in dit debat. Hij schreef een fascinerende encycliek over AI, menselijke waardigheid en technologie. Maar misschien zijn de reacties daarop nog wel interessanter: daarin botsen drie totaal verschillende mensbeelden op elkaar. Dat gaan we bespreken met AI-kenner en theoloog Maaike Harmsen. Zij promoveert op de grote filosofische en theologische vragen die nieuwe technologie oproept. Ze leidt ook een bijzonder leven: ze woonde en werkte in Papoea-Nieuw-Guinea en China, en gaf les in Noord-Korea. David Boogerd spreekt Maaike Harmsen uiteraard samen met vaste gast theoloog Stefan Paas, hoogleraar aan de VU in Amsterdam en de Theologische Universiteit Utrecht.

Raakt Nederland zijn ziel kwijt? Veel mensen voelen een leegte. In hun eigen leven - heeft het allemaal echt zin? - maar ook in de samenleving: wie zijn wij nog, en wat houdt ons bij elkaar? Je ziet die vraag terug in discussies over politiek, migratie, identiteit en de toekomst van ons land. Vorige week deelde politicus Pieter Omtzigt in De Ongelooflijke Podcast al zijn zorgen: de bezieling moet terugkeren in ons land. Maar de grote vraag blijft: hoe dan?   Daarover spreken we met Theoloog der Nederlanden Arnold Huijgen. Zijn jaarthema is diepgaan: wat gebeurt er als mensen of samenlevingen door hun reserves heen raken? En waar vind je dan hoop? Arnold neemt ons mee in een fascinerend mini-college over de geschiedenis van de ziel: van Plato en Aristoteles tot Freud, hersenwetenschap en AI. Want als wij steeds vaker worden begrepen als brein, data of materie - wat raken we dan kwijt? En kan de christelijke traditie helpen om opnieuw bezieiling te vinden? David Boogerd spreekt Arnold Huijgen uiteraard samen met vaste gast, theoloog Stefan Paas, voor maar liefst 1200 Ongelooflijke luisteraars op het Opwekkingsfestival in Biddinghuizen. ⛪Kom ook naar Dit is de Bijbel live!

In this episode, hosts Lois Houston and Nikita Abraham break down the differences between Infrastructure-as-a-Service, Platform-as-a-Service, and Software-as-a-Service. The conversation explores how each framework influences control, cost efficiency, expansion, reliability, and contingency planning.   Cloud Tech Jumpstart: https://mylearn.oracle.com/ou/course/cloud-tech-jumpstart/152992 Oracle University Learning Community: https://education.oracle.com/ou-community LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/oracle-university/ X: https://x.com/Oracle_Edu   Special thanks to Arijit Ghosh, Anna Hulkower, Radhika Banka, and the OU Studio Team for helping us create this episode. --------------------------------------- Episode Transcript: 00:00 Hi there! We're hitting rewind for the next few weeks and bringing back some of our most popular episodes. So, sit back and enjoy these highlights from our archive. 00:12 Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast, the first stop on your cloud journey. During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:38 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.  01:14 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.  02:45 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. 04:05 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.  06:05 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.  07:45 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. 10:32 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. 12:59 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.

Van wie is de staat – de overheid – eigenlijk? Van het volk? Maar wélk volk dan? De boze burger die zich niet gehoord voelt, of de progressieve, activistische voorhoede die de wereld wil redden? Of is de staat in handen van een technocratische elite, die denkt met beleid, modellen en statistiek ieder probleem weg te organiseren? Onze gast, Paul Frissen, denkt al decennialang na over deze vragen. Paul is bestuurskundige, filosoof en De Groene Amsterdammer noemde hem onlangs een van de belangrijkste conservatieve denkers van Nederland. Frissen ziet een elite die is losgezongen van het volk - niet zozeer sociaal-economisch, maar vooral cultureel en moreel. Een elite die volgens hem zogenaamd seculier is - dat woord valt opvallend vaak in zijn boek - maar ondertussen een eigen geloof heeft opgebouwd. Prikkelende stellingen dus, die hij uitgebreid uitwerkt in zijn boek De neutrale staat. David Boogerd spreekt Paul Frissen samen met vaste gast Stefan Paas, theoloog en hoogleraar aan de VU Amsterdam en de Theologische Universiteit Utrecht.

Op 4 en 5 mei kijken we meestal terug op hoe het misging in de geschiedenis: hoe kan een land afglijden naar fascisme of nazisme? Maar vandaag draaien we het om: hoe blijft een land - een democratie - juist wél overeind? Historicus Beatrice de Graaf schreef een fascinerend essay (https://deongelooflijke.substack.com/publish/post/196089476?r=6cjvm1&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true) voor De Ongelooflijke (https://open.substack.com/pub/deongelooflijke/p/drie-leugens-van-de-trump-regering?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web) over de jaren '30, met een intrigerende vraag: waarom werd Nederland toen géén fascistische staat, zoals nazi-Duitsland? Hoe bleef de democratie hier overeind - en wat kunnen wij daar vandaag van leren? Daarnaast kijken we naar misschien wel de interessantste actuele testcase: Hongarije. Viktor Orbán gold jarenlang als hét voorbeeld van hoe een moderne autocratie eruit kan zien - een model dat ook bewonderaars had bij politici als Trump en Wilders. Maar nu verloor hij de verkiezingen. Wat zegt dat? Stefan Paas heeft Hongaarse contacten en schetst een verrassender beeld: misschien hebben wij Orbán en Hongarije wel te eenzijdig bekeken. We bespreken dus twee momenten waarop de democratie onder druk stond - bijna een eeuw uit elkaar - en tóch niet viel. Dat leidt tot de centrale vraag: wat beschermt een democratie tegen de verleiding van een politieke verlosser? Extra actueel, nu in dezelfde week de Raad van Kerken zich uitsprak tegen radicaal-rechts gedachtegoed. David Boogerd in gesprek met hét Ongelooflijke duo: historicus Beatrice de Graaf (Universiteit Utrecht) en theoloog Stefan Paas (VU Amsterdam en Theologische Universiteit Utrecht).

En quelques heures, des dizaines de sites de streaming pirate ont affiché le même message d'erreur : le code Cloudflare 521. Traduction technique : le serveur qui héberge physiquement les contenus a cessé de répondre. Cloudflare, l'intermédiaire qui gère le trafic, n'a rien bloqué. C'est la source elle-même qui s'est tue. Aucun des sites touchés n'a communiqué. Ni la Motion Picture Association, ni aucune organisation anti-piratage n'ont revendiqué d'intervention. Et pourtant, la panne est massive.Pour comprendre pourquoi, il faut saisir comment fonctionne ce milieu. Ces sites ne stockent pas eux-mêmes les vidéos. Ils s'appuient sur des prestataires spécialisés — MegaCloud, VidCloud, RapidCloud — qui font office de serveurs médias mutualisés pour des dizaines de façades différentes, aux noms et aux visuels distincts. Les groupes anti-piratage ont baptisé ce modèle le « Piracy-as-a-Service » : la piraterie industrialisée en mode service. Quand un prestataire tombe, tous ses clients tombent avec lui, simultanément.Ces plateformes drainent des audiences colossales. En août 2025, l'un de ces réseaux totalisait à lui seul 622 millions de visites mensuelles, selon les chiffres transmis par la MPA au représentant américain au commerce. Leurs fondateurs originaux ont depuis longtemps disparu ; ce sont des marques zombies, exploitées anonymement sous des mains changeantes.Car ce milieu a ses propres mécanismes de survie. Après chaque fermeture, les opérateurs migrent vers un nouveau prestataire, changent de domaine, et rouvrent ailleurs. MegaCloud et ses homologues avaient eux-mêmes récupéré ce trafic après la fermeture de 2Embed par l'Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment en juillet 2023 — une opération qui avait rendu inaccessibles 302 sites sur 457 identifiés.Mais ce modèle distribué, conçu pour résister, contient sa propre faille. Plus les réseaux multiplient les couches d'intermédiaires pour échapper aux poursuites, plus ils se créent un point de vulnérabilité commun. Un seul maillon brisé, et c'est la chaîne entière qui s'effondre. Si l'infrastructure PaaS a bien été ciblée cette fois, ce serait le coup le plus dur porté au streaming pirate depuis 2023. Mais les opérateurs ont déjà prouvé leur capacité à rebondir. Sans propriétaire fixe, sans adresse stable, sans infrastructure propre — les marques, elles, survivent toujours. Hébergé par Acast.

We moeten het echt over AI hebben. Zeker deze week. Want het was de week waarin Trump in de problemen kwam door een AI-gegenereerd plaatje. De week waarin in Nederland auto's mogen rondrijden die niet bestuurd worden door een mens, maar door kunstmatige intelligentie. En ook op het slagveld was er een primeur: Oekraïne maakte bekend dat het een vijandelijke stelling van de Russen had ingenomen, puur met robots - daar kwam geen enkele grondsoldaat aan te pas. Allemaal ondenkbaar zonder AI. De impact is dus enorm, en dat zorgt voor grote beloftes én grote vragen. Luidt AI het einde in van de mens, of gaan we dankzij AI een langer, gezonder en beter leven tegemoet? Dat is ook een van de vragen die zij stelt in haar boek De Machtscode: Marietje Schaake. Ze onderzoekt dit thema al lang en werkt zelf in het hart van Silicon Valley, waar ze als onderzoeker verbonden is aan Stanford University. Eerder zat ze tien jaar in het Europees Parlement voor D66. Wat is AI nou eigenlijk? Wat moeten we ermee? En hoe gevaarlijk- of misschien wel geweldig - is het? En hoe houden we de menswaardigheid hoor in dit AI-tijdperk? David Boogerd spreekt Marietje Schaake uiteraard samen met vaste gast theoloog Stefan Paas, hoogleraar aan de VU in Amsterdam en de Theologische Universiteit Utrecht.

How long before they could get a moderately complex new application of integration into production? Topic 4 - Nobody likes to work on legacy code - missing source, missing engineers, etc. What do we call any code written by AI that was abandoned within the last 6-12 months? FEEDBACK?Email: show @ reasoning dot showBluesky: @reasoningshow.bsky.socialTwitter/X: @ReasoningShowInstagram: @reasoningshowTikTok: @reasoningshow

Vibe coding: give AI a description of what you want, the model writes the code, you ship it, and then you hope for the best. It works great for side projects, but it can fall apart the moment you point an AI agent at production infrastructure. Today, William and Eyvonne sit down with John Capobianco,... Read more »

In this episode of Fraudology, host Karisse Hendrick is joined by Frank McKenna, Chief Fraud Strategist at PointPredictive and the mind behind Frank on Fraud. Frank shares his latest deep dive into Starkiller, a sophisticated new phishing-as-a-service (PaaS) platform that emerged following the takedown of Tycoon 2FA.The conversation explores the terrifying mechanics of Attacker-in-the-Middle (AITM) attacks, where fraudsters use "headless browsers" to mirror legitimate login sessions in real-time. Frank provides an inside look at how this tool allows criminals to capture not just credentials, but also two-factor authentication (2FA) codes and session cookies, enabling them to maintain access even after a user logs out.We also explore the "hot topics" dominating the fraud landscape today:ATO Without a Login Event: How marketplaces are seeing "good" users perform legitimate actions, only to have their payout information changed moments later within the same session.The Democratization of Fraud: The professionalization of phishing kits on Telegram, which offer Netflix-style subscriptions and user-friendly dashboards for as little as $300 to $500 a month.Detection Challenges: Why traditional device intelligence and cybersecurity tools struggle to flag these attacks because the victim is interacting with the real merchant website, not a clone.

After BCE cut its dividend in mid-2025, investor capital rotated into TELUS as the next high-yield alternative. In this episode, we examine whether TELUS is now facing the same fate or whether the comparison is flawed. We break down the key differences between TELUS and BCE at the point of stress, focusing on free cash flow coverage, leverage, capital intensity, growth outlook, and management execution. While TELUS’s dividend remains uncovered today, improving free cash flow and contributions from capital-light segments such as TELUS Health and TELUS Digital differentiate it from BCE’s deteriorating position prior to its cut. We also discuss the specific scenarios that could force a dividend reduction, including stalled tech-segment growth, regulatory pressure, and prolonged share-price weakness, as well as one recent management move that raises concerns around signaling. In the second half, we shift to silver and explain what is driving the recent price surge. We cover CME margin hikes, record physical delivery requests, backwardation, U.S.–Shanghai price divergence, China’s new export restrictions, and silver’s addition to the U.S. critical minerals list. The conclusion: this is primarily an industrial and geopolitical supply story, not a monetary hedge narrative.
