Behnam Bastani is originally from Tehran, Iran. He left the country at the age of 17, setting out for Canada, where he got his Masters and PhD, before moving to California. He's always looked at things with the big picture in mind - whether that is artwork, wood work, engineering, etc. He's worked for Hewlett Packard, Meta and Roblox, before starting his current venture. Outside of tech, he loves to exercise and participate in water activities. For peace of mind, he gardens - experimenting with growing trees, replanting, and seeding. Previously, Behnam went to Meta to pursue the future of wearables. He immediately realized that these wearables required a connected system. He started to ask the question, "why can't we use compute around use to fuel wearables?". Eventually, through stints at Meta and Roblox, he and his co-founder knew they wanted this type of system... and started with the infrastructure to enable it. This is the creation story of OpenInfer. SponsorsTiger DataProtected HarborRenderLinkshttps://openinfer.io/https://www.linkedin.com/in/bbastani/Checkout our episode stacks on Stacklist! https://stacks.codestory.co/ Hosted by Noah Labhart | Technical Founder & Startup Mentor.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Revisiting an important episode this week with Dr. Alison Yeung, family physician and creator of @thesmartphoneeffectmd, where she talks all things smartphones, social media, and (of course) kids. Why are so many parents struggling to set screen time boundaries? How is technology impacting our kids' mental health, attention spans, and motivation? And how do we navigate platforms like Roblox, YouTube Kids, and even school-issued iPads?Renee and Dr. Yeung get real about balancing technology use, setting routines, and why it's not just about “parenting harder”—it's about pushing back against industries designed to hook our kids. If you've ever wondered when to give your child a phone (or if they really need one), how to protect their downtime, or how your phone habits shape theirs, this is a must-listen.FOLLOW ALISON:Instagram: @thesmartphoneeffectmdTHANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS!AquaOmega - For your daily dose of Omega-3's, go to myaquaomega.com/MOMROOM and use code MOMROOM for 20% off.Bellesa - Today's episode is sponsored by Bellesa Boutique!

What does a year of applying the PDA lens actually look like in a real family? Justin joined the Paradigm Shift Program in the summer of 2025 and is back a year later to share what shifted, what is still hard, and what he has learned along the way.Justin is a father of two, works in cybersecurity, and lives in Ohio. His 13-year-old PDA son spent years in a specialized school before school refusal led the family to unschooling. In this episode Justin shares how he tracks his son's indicators using an app he built himself, how he navigated the screen time question through the 4S Framework, and the creative accommodation strategies - including fart pills! - that have made daily life genuinely more workable.Key TakeawaysHow Justin Found PDA and What the First Year of Applying It Looked Like | 00:01:35 Justin first encountered PDA through social media, and it was a video about equalizing after school that made things click. Before that, the best explanation he had for his son was that he was a very independent kid who could not take no for an answer. Years of consequences and putting a foot down made things worse, and his son eventually hit burnout. What changed for him after the Paradigm Shift Program was not one dramatic shift but a series of small parenting changes: putting shoes on for his son instead of asking, using declarative language, doing the fart pill game twice a day instead of twice-daily battles over medication.Tracking Indicators With a Custom App: What the Data Showed | 00:17:09 Justin built his own app to track his son's indicators every day, including activation levels, swearing, connection signals like sitting on his lap or info dumping, and accommodations like safe nervous system presence. One pattern he identified through tracking was that loose teeth reliably raised his son's baseline activation, something he would not have connected without the data. He shares the tracking log with his son's therapist as a way of showing progress that is otherwise hard to describe. The trend line on panic attack and meltdown frequency, intensity, and duration over twelve months - all of which have improved - is the clearest evidence for him that the approach is working.Screens, Safety, and the 4S Framework | 00:26:06 Working in cybersecurity made screens a particularly fraught topic. Justin researched parental monitoring tools and now uses one called Qustodio, which applies consistent limits across all devices and sends alerts for concerning language in Roblox chats. What shifted was not removing screen time but understanding it through the 4S Framework: his son's Roblox game development is simultaneously a screen, a special interest, and a social connection tool. Giving him more regulated access while monitoring content allowed the relationship with screens to become a genuine strength rather than a daily battleground.The Fart Pills and the Scrub Daddy shower: Creativity After a Year of Practice | 00:14:52 Two examples illustrate what a year of accommodation practice can look like. His son's twice-daily medication had become a twice-daily fight until Justin gamified it: the pills became fart pills, his son plays a capybara hiding in a cave, and taking the pills makes the farts weapon-level. The battle dissolved. For showering, Justin told his son's Scrub Daddy sponge incorrectly that you put shampoo in dry hair and get in the shower with clothes on, then let his son correct and teach the right way. His son was in the shower within five minutes. Both strategies layer humor, equality, play, and novelty together, which Justin describes as exhausting but very effective improv.Advice for Parents Who Are Where Justin Was a Year Ago | 00:38:12 Justin's advice is not to try to do everything at once. When he looked at the full picture of constraints, accommodations, and nuance, it felt impossible. What helped was making one small change, watching how it landed, and building from there. Putting shoes on for his son instead of asking him to put them on was a small change with an immediate impact. Learning declarative language and noticing that his son would respond to statements when he would not respond to ten direct questions was another. He also names having a larger purpose, wanting the best outcome for his son, as what helped him stay with the approach even when it was hard.Relevant ResourcesParadigm Shift Program — My signature program where Justin developed the tools and frameworks he describes applying across the past year, including cost-benefit decision making, the 4S Framework, and creative accommodation strategies.Understanding PDA — Free class where I teach the nervous system disability framework, the four S framework, and the foundational concepts Justin describes applying throughout this episode.Tracking Progress — Free class on the three dimensions I teach parents to track: nervous system activation, basic needs access, and connection and engagement, all of which Justin built into his custom app.School, Screens and Siblings — Free class directly relevant to Justin's experience navigating school refusal, unschooling, and the screen time question through a cost-benefit lens.Mentioned in this episode:Free Live WorkshopI'm offering a free live workshop this month: "Supporting your PDA child or teen through burnout without breaking yourself in the process."Free Live Workshop Registration

De enorme stroom games die nog uitkomen vóór GTA 6 op 19 november, komt nu al op gang! The Duskbloods is nog niet publieklijk beschikbaar, maar Niels Kooloos speelde de game al tijdens de netwerktest. Jochem Visser waagde zich aan de DLC van één van zijn favoriete half-mislukte games van 2024, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, met nu als uitbreiding Cost of Hope. En Joe van Burik dook in het Marathon-achtige konijkenhol van een game genaamd CICADAMATA. Daarover hoor je alles in deze Mini-Game Round-Up van All in the Game. Vragen? Mail ons! Op allinthegame@bnr.nl Over All in the GameAll in the Game is de podcast over games voor iedereen. Wanneer er iets speelt in de wereld van games, hoor je dat hier: spannende ontwikkelingen, boeiende onderzoeken en natuurlijk de nieuwste releases om te spelen op je PlayStation, Xbox, pc of welk platform dan ook. Onder leiding van BNR's techredacteur Joe van Burik hoor je gesprekken met andere gamekenners, zoals beursnerd Jochem Visser, techredacteurs Niels Kooloos en Daniël Mol én popcultuurkenners Donner Bakker en Sam van Zuilen. Ook hoogleraar computerwetenschappen Felienne Hermans en universiteit docent Laura van der Lubbe schuiven geregeld aan, en je hoort bijdragen van audioproducers André Dortmont, Ivo Klokman en Jeanne Heeremans. Elke week zijn er minimaal twee afleveringen van All in the Game. Of nog meer, wanneer er veel speelt in de wereld van games. Soms met impressies en analyses over actuele ontwikkelingen en nieuwe games. Andere keren kun je luisteren naar interviews met makers van bijzondere games, van Grand Theft Auto (GTA) tot Baldur's Gate 3 - zowel Nederlandse als internationale ontwikkelaars. Of we praten met e-sport-atleten, onderzoekers en andere experts in de wereld van videogames. In deze podcast kijken we verder dan alleen wat een game leuk maakt: we bespreken juist ook in de culturele, maatschappelijke, economische en technologische impact ervan. Jaarlijks gaat er immers zo'n 200 miljard euro om in de wereldwijde game-industrie, dat is al (vele jaren zelfs) daadwerkelijk meer dan de muziek- en filmindustrie bij elkaar opgeteld. Zo hoor je bij All in the Game niet alleen wat je moet spelen - en op welk nieuwe (game)platform - maar kun je daar nog bewuster mee bezig zijn, over praten en natuurlijk van genieten. Of het nou gaat om Super Mario of Sonic the Hedgehog, Fortnite of Roblox, voetbalgames van EA Sports FC of de FIFA, Call of Duty of Battlefield, League of Legends of Dota,of goude oude titels zoals Tetris, Rollercoaster Tycoon, The Sims of zelfs Snake. En we hebben ook aandacht voor liefhebberijen die dicht op games zitten, zoals Dungeons & Dragons, Lego en de films, series en strips rond reeksen zoals Star Wars en Marvel. Het komt allemaal aan bod in All in the Game. All in the Game werd als podcast al in 2022 opgenomen in het archief van Het Nederlands instituut voor Beeld & Geluid in Hilversum - als eerste podcast van BNR Nieuwsradio en één van de eerste gamepodcasts van allemaal. Gezamenlijk met talloze Nederlandse televisieprogramma’s, radioshows, games, websites, webvideo’s en podcast vormt dit materiaal de Nederlandse mediageschiedenis. Over Joe van BurikJoe van Burik is presentator, podcastmaker en techredacteur bij BNR Nieuwsradio. Je hoort hem bijna dagelijks in de Tech Update met het laatste nieuws over digitale technologie, en gaat daar in De Grote Tech Show (samen met Ben van der Burg) elke woensdag dieper op in met gasten uit de techwereld. Daarnaast maakt hij onder meer de podcast All in the Game, voor iedereen die meer wil horen over videogames.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Caroline and her husband, John, explain how modern scams target everyone; kids, parents, and grandparents - using tricks like fake social media accounts, links that give access to your phone or computer, spam calls pretending to be Venmo/PayPal/banks, and AI voice cloning. They talk about kid-focused scams on Roblox and gaming platforms, grooming and sextortion, and why open conversations help kids report scary messages. They also cover scams aimed at older adults, including government and tech-support pop-ups, romance scams, investment and crypto fraud, QR code traps, and fake mail. Their key tips include slowing down, not clicking links, verifying numbers on official sites, using family code words, enabling protections like Bark and two-factor authentication, monitoring accounts, and reporting fraud.

Between 2018 and 2024, the turnover of Portuguese games companies went from around 5 million to nearly 100 million. In this episode, Kalie Moore sits down with Jefferson Valadares, Co-Founder and CEO of partNerd and President of the Portuguese Association of Game Development Companies, to unpack whether a country long known for exporting its best talent can become a home for original IP. Jefferson has seen the industry from nearly every seat, as Studio GM at EA, Executive Producer at BioWare, Head of Mobile at Bandai Namco, and a board member at Rovio before its sale to Sega. They explore what the AAA years taught him about when to spend and when to wing it, why big companies keep funding games they already know won't work, and what he learned running studio acquisitions at Fortis Games about why most deals quietly lose their value.The conversation also goes inside partNerd, the four-person studio he's building now, and why they're making an original co-op game exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2. Jefferson explains the thinking behind designing for asymmetric skill levels so parents, kids, and non-gamers can play together, why GameShare shaped their commercial model, and how hard it is for veteran developers to unlearn best practice and build something genuinely new. He also revisits Doppio, his early bet on voice as a gaming platform, and the timing that led to selling to Fortis in late 2021. Along the way he lays out the Helsinki parallel he sees playing out in Lisbon, why the hardest gap for emerging ecosystems is product rather than engineering or art, and what he thinks the industry is underestimating about the generation that grew up on Roblox and Minecraft rather than GTA.This episode is brought to you by Appcharge, the payments platform built specifically for mobile gaming that processes over a billion dollars annually.

How can game-based learning and student game creation transform students' understanding of STEM concepts? Today we speak with Dr. Adam Seldow, Senior Director of Education Policy at Roblox, and Professor Jeff Brand from Bond University, to explore the Roblox Learning Hub and examine how students can build, design, and explore interactive STEM experiences under the supervision of their teachers!Hosted by Ben Newsome from Fizzics Education About Roblox: Roblox is an immersive gaming and creation platform where people can explore, build and learn through millions of unique games. For more than 20 years, Roblox has supported creativity, learning and play and the platform continues to lead the industry with its approach to safety. These measures include requiring age checks to access communication features and only allowing people of a similar age to chat, as well as the introduction of age-based accounts, Roblox Kids and Roblox Select, for under 16s. The 2025 IGEA Australia Plays report found almost half of Australian parents believe games help children learn. Roblox helps connect educators and parents with games that support skills development through its online Learning Hub, which makes it easy to find games which teach across a wide range learning areas, including coding, engineering, maths, creativity, art, sustainability and digital literacy skills. Dr. Adam Seldow serves as Senior Director of Education Policy at Roblox with the goal of contributing to the next generation of creators. Dr. Seldow taught secondary school mathematics and led technology in large U.S. school systems. He earned his undergraduate degree from the United States Military Academy at West Point and his master's and doctoral degrees in education policy and leadership from Harvard University.Professor Jeff Brand is the Deputy Provost, Education, and a Professor of Communication and Media at Bond University in Queensland, Australia. He has been labelled “Australia’s leading researcher of interactive games” for his biennial 22-year-long panel studies, Digital Australia and Australia Plays on video game audiences. Jeff has been awarded a National Excellence in Teaching Citation from the Australian Office of Learning and Teaching for developing a Virtual Learning Environment in Minecraft. Highlight Roblox games from the Learning Hub: Museum Tycoon As players design, build and curate their museum and unlock new exhibits, they’re introduced to scientific principles, engineering and robotics concepts, and the role technology plays in everyday life. STEM focus: Science & Technology Studio LitePlayers can learn coding and game design fundamentals, while exploring careers in software engineering and game development. STEM focus: Technology Scripting SchoolAn introduction to coding designed to make it easy for people to become developers with four different languages. STEM focus: Technology Circuit Maker 2: Learn how electronics work. STEM focus: Engineering Math ObbyA maths challenge with a twist. STEM focus: Mathematics Hosted by Ben Newsome from Fizzics Education With interviews with leading science educators and STEM thought leaders, this science education podcast is about highlighting different ways of teaching kids within and beyond the classroom. It's not just about educational practice & pedagogy, it's about inspiring new ideas & challenging conventions of how students can learn about their world! https://www.fizzicseducation.com.au/ Know an educator who'd love this STEM podcast episode?

What really happens to Christian content inside one of the largest streaming platforms in the world?In this episode of Beyond the Letter, Adam sits down with longtime friend Jimmy, a former attorney and former Head of Global Policy for Amazon Prime Video, where his team helped oversee content ratings, descriptors, and policies governing what could—and could not—appear across the platform.Jimmy shares what it was like navigating faith inside corporate entertainment, why certain policies had to be rewritten to create a more consistent standard, and how Amazon Prime eventually began making a major investment in faith-based content. Adam and Jimmy also unpack The Chosen, House of David, the controversy surrounding creative liberties in biblical storytelling, and where the line should be drawn between artistic interpretation and actually contradicting Scripture.Later, Jimmy shares why he walked away from major corporate opportunities—including interview processes with companies such as OpenAI, Roblox, and TikTok—to pursue full-time ministry. The conversation turns toward career success, money, calling, and a lesson every believer needs to hear: praying for an opportunity does not replace becoming competent enough to handle it.From Christian influence in Hollywood to AI, leadership, career advancement, and following God when success is pulling you in another direction, this episode is a rare look behind the curtain of both big tech and faith.--Connect with:Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/Jimmy Mettias https://www.instagram.com/thepharaoh24/--Get the Acts Study Guide at adammesa.org--Join our study on the book of Acts on our Bible Club Podcast!https://www.youtube.com/@bibleclubpodcast--Don't forget to stay connected with us:Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4OvpFp9OB9_DgVdVVbXhFgInstagram https://www.instagram.com/beyond.theletter/Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/discover/beyond-the-letter--Have a question?

Squidward just started his first day at a Roblox school… and things went completely off the rails...#Flamingo #Roblox #Squidward #RobloxSchool #RobloxFunny #RobloxGameplay #Gaming #Funny

Et nyt online voldsnetværk, kaldet NVE, har i den seneste tid vundet frem blandt unge. Det bliver beskrevet som en hurtigt voksende form for ekstremisme. Det foregår på nettet, skjult for forældrenes blik. Og de unge bliver rekrutteret gennem helt almindelige platforme som Roblox, TikTok og Minecraft. For få uger siden blev NVE-netværk så noget, som næsten alle kender til, da tre teenagere blev anholdt for at planlægge et voldeligt angreb mod en skole i Hadsten. Forkortelsen står for ’nihilistisk voldelig ekstremisme’, og her dyrker man vold, overgreb og selvskade i sin mest grusomme og kaotiske form, og det kan hurtigt blive svært at skelne mellem ofre og gerningsmænd. Volden har ingen ideologi eller noget budskab bag sig. Det er vold for voldens skyld. Selv om forbindelsen mellem sagen i Hadsten og de voldelige grupper ikke er dokumenteret, fik det kulturjournalist på Politiken Lars Eriksen til at kigge nærmere på NVE-netværkene. I dagens afsnit sætter han ord på, hvad det betyder, når man taler om en gamificering af vold og overgreb, og hvad man stiller op som samfund og som forældre, når man ved, at denne type ondskab findes frit tilgængelig derude. Dette afsnit omtaler selvskade og selvmord. Hvis du er i krise eller har tanker om selvmord, skal du tale med nogen om det. Du kan ringe anonymt til Livslinien alle dage fra klokken 11 til 05 på telefon 70 201 201. Er du akut selvmordstruet, skal du ringe 112.

Three of the biggest names in games reported inside a single week and the headline numbers pointed three different directions. Nintendo's profit nearly doubled. Roblox missed on revenue while its player count rose. Take-Two was hours from reporting a loss.Underneath all of it sat the same question, and it's the one worth asking about your own game: is the pool of players getting bigger, or are you just getting better at extracting from the pool you already have?Greg Posner and Colan Neese are joined by Simeon McMillan, founder of the media and tech stocks newsletter Accrued Interest, who came up through TV, radio and cable ad sales before he started writing about the companies.
