In Episode 130 of I Learned About Flying From That, host Carl Valeri sits down with airline pilot and aviation attorney Chris Pezalla to recount a marathon time-building flight that quickly turned into a damp, late-night lesson in aeronautical decision-making. Twenty years ago, a 19-year-old Chris and a friend rented a Cessna 152 to fly from Daytona Beach down to Key West. What started as a straightforward opportunity to build cross-country flight time evolved into a grueling ordeal on the journey home.

Recorded live at DX Annual, Abi Noda, co-founder and CEO of DX, joins Brian Houck of Microsoft to share an early look at DX's new research on AI's impact on engineering velocity.Drawing on data from a sample of DX customers, they discuss what companies are actually seeing as AI adoption matures. Most organizations in the study saw pull request throughput increase by 10 to 15 percent—far more modest than the 10x gains often promised in industry headlines.They explore why coding remains only a small part of developer work, where time saved by AI may be going, and the unintended consequences of moving faster, from shifting bottlenecks to “false velocity.” Abi also shares how engineering leaders are applying AI beyond coding and how DX is evolving its measurement framework to account for both human and agent productivity.Where to find Brian Houck: • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brianhouck/ Where to find Abi Noda:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/abinoda In this episode, we cover:(00:00) Intro(00:53) What motivated DX's research into AI's impact on engineering velocity(02:36) How DX designed the study and selected companies(04:54) What DX's data reveals about AI's impact on engineering throughput(06:31) Why PR throughput was the most practical metric to publish(08:21) Why AI productivity gains are lower than many leaders expected(10:24) How an all-in culture can amplify AI productivity gains(12:35) Why it's hard to track where AI-generated time savings are going(15:04) Unintended consequences of AI-driven productivity gains(17:12) Why leaders should look beyond coding to the rest of the SDLC(19:43) Cognitive debt and the human costs of AI-assisted development(21:33) How DX's AI measurement framework is evolving(24:42) How to make agents more effectiveReferenced:• DX Core 4 Productivity Framework • DORA, SPACE, and DevEx: Which framework should you use?• Time Warp: The Gap Between Developers' Ideal vs Actual Workweeks in an AI-Driven Era - Microsoft • Research• How Generative and Agentic AI Shift Concern from Technical Debt to Cognitive Debt• Measuring AI code assistants and agents

"You cannot personally make sure every visitor has a great time... but you can make sure at least one visitor has a great experience." Episode Chapters [03:36] Shifting from high attendance to quality visitor experiences [05:33] Complexities of social carrying capacities explored [08:50] Relying on technology and reservation systems [10:22] Zion crowding and alternative options [13:45] Addressing transportation infrastructure and shuttle loops [16:20] Preventing staff burnout and managing morale [19:13] Unintended consequences of park management choices The busy summer season is officially here. We always asked for more people to discover the beauty of parks and conservation, and they certainly are! In this episode, Jody Mayberry welcomes back retired director of South Carolina State Parks, Phil Gaines, to discuss the realities of managing capacity, infrastructure, and visitor expectations during the peak summer months. Phil and Jody trace how park philosophies have shifted from the old-school mentality of "packing them in" to a modern focus on preserving the social and resource carrying capacities of our public lands. They share personal stories from Zion and South Carolina's Lake Jocassee to highlight the balance between technology, transportation infrastructure, and personal connection. This episode serves as a guide for park supervisors on how to protect staff morale and prevent rangers from burning out on continuous traffic control. Read the blog for more from this episode.

EP 291.  In this week's update:When a 200-pound internet-connected machine can be hijacked from 6,000 miles away, the smart home has officially become a liability.The moment security researchers have long anticipated has arrived: AI is no longer just defending systems - it's actively being used to break them.The same open ecosystems that accelerated AI adoption are now emerging as a significant and underestimated vector for supply chain attacks.In a landscape where breaches are inevitable, DigiCert's handling of a code-signing compromise offers a rare and instructive model for what accountability actually looks like.A browser trusted with your most sensitive credentials is quietly leaving them exposed in memory - and the vendor considers it working as intended.Google is embedding fraud detection directly into the operating system, signaling a fundamental shift in where the mobile security perimeter now begins.After years of a fragmented messaging security landscape, Apple and Google have closed one of the most glaring cross-platform encryption gaps in consumer technology.Decades of observational data linking coffee to longevity may finally have a molecular foundation - and it has nothing to do with caffeine.Let's go grab a mug!Find all links and the full transcript for this podcast here.

This week we highlight the multifaceted global impact of AI infrastructure and digital security, focusing on the physical and financial costs of technological expansion. Reports detail how massive data centers are straining public utilities, causing power disputes in Kenya and Maryland while leading to significant water waste in Georgia. In the realm of cybersecurity, researchers have identified critical vulnerabilities in smart home devices and "zero-day" exploits developed by artificial intelligence, prompting tech giants like Google and Apple to implement stricter protections. Meanwhile, the professional landscape is shifting as Amazon and Nvidia emphasize AI-driven metrics and proprietary software ecosystems, creating new pressures for employees and developers alike. Collectively, these narratives illustrate that while AI offers advancements in molecule design and medical research, its integration into daily life demands greater transparency and more robust infrastructure management.

There's little doubt that the conflict in Iran has hurt much of the world economy. But not Russia. Data suggests that the Kremlin has already made billions of dollars in additional oil revenue since the United States and Israel attacked Iran. But beyond just cash, how much will this change President Vladimir Putin's broader strategy? And what does this mean for the fate of the war in Ukraine? Alexander Gabuev, the director of the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center, joins FP Live to explain how Russia is navigating a moment of particular global flux. Plus, Ravi offers his read on U.S. President Donald Trump's visit to Beijing.

Send us Fan Mail“How to reduce pressure on young athletes?” “How can I support my kids in youth sports?” “How do sports shape character in kids?” — Kids worldwide engage in team sports, and for years it has brought joy to the players. Recently, though, the commercialization of youth sports, as well as motivations beyond character building and fun, have placed undue pressure on young athletes. This unhealthy pressure leads to stress, overwhelm, and tension. In part one of Benoit Harpey and Kayla Richerson's conversation with Harvey Araton—New York Times columnist and sports journalist, author, and father—we learn about the true goal of team sports, which lies in character building. Harvey shares his own story; explains how budget constraints, scholarship goals, and sports commercialization take away from the joy; and provides applicable advice for avoiding these negative effects. Together, we dive into the true purpose of youth sports, how to cultivate growth, and how to make the most of what kids really love.

Uterine hysterotomy unintended extensions happen. For sure. This has been analyzed over many years, and it is still making news. Look at this mini-timeline: Back in 2018, authors published “Unintended hysterotomy extension during caesarean delivery: risk factors and maternal morbidity”. Moving up the timeline to 2020, others published in J Maternal-Fetal Neonatal Medicine, “Risk factors for uterine incision extension during cesarean delivery”. Then in 2024, in the PINK journal, authors published a related study, “The association between unintended hysterotomy extensions with cesarean delivery and subsequent preterm birth”. In this episode, we will review a new narrative review (in the Green Journal, May 3, 2026) of unintended hysterotomy extension at C-section. We will summarize known risk factors and focus on subsequent uterine rupture risk. Does unintended hysterotomy extension at CS increase TOLAC uterine rupture? It's complicated. Listen in for details.1. Giugale LE, Sakamoto S, Yabes J, Dunn SL, Krans EE. Unintended hysterotomy extension during caesarean delivery: risk factors and maternal morbidity.

For the first time in over a century, renewables have knocked coal out of the top spot for global electricity generation — and solar is the reason why. Emma Varvaloucas, Executive Director of The Progress Network, breaks down what this energy milestone actually means, and why geopolitics is unexpectedly accelerating the clean energy transition. Plus: forty years after the worst nuclear disaster in history, wildlife is flourishing inside the Chernobyl exclusion zone; a Utah startup claims it has grown functional human sperm in a lab — a potential breakthrough for male infertility; and NASA is branching into the human organ delivery industry.  What Could Go Right? is produced by The Progress Network and Kaleidoscope.

Join me for my strangest episode yet, because it was not intended to be on a podcast. I was giving myself a serious heart-to-heart pep talk while getting ready to take Jebby to the vet for a growth on her eyelid. Call it a come to Jesus moment, an epiphany... an I don't know what. It was intense. When I reached the part about addiction, it shifted unexpectedly from a pep talk for myself to me defending my decision to do another grape fast so soon and the whole addiction vein within my family, like I was on trial. The decision to share this as a podcast episode consciously hit me several hours later. Maybe I just slipped in and out of podcast mode, because I was recording on the same app. I don't really know, and it doesn't really matter. When I listened to it, because I've needed the pep talk a lot today, three things were clear to me. The first was that I should share it for the sake of full transparency. The second was that it could help someone who thinks or feels that they're all alone in their food addiction. The third was that it was going to take an enormous amount of courage for me to actually share it in the podcast. It's hard for me to listen to it, let alone share it with people all over the world. By the way, I am astounded by the number of people who listen to this podcast and all of the places you live. I was thrilled to see I now have a listener in Ireland. I never thought I would. From my TikTok post, stating today is Day 1 of my new grape fast: I broke my 40-day grape fast with my raw vegan tomato-basil soup, a cabbage salad with toasted sesame oil and sea salt and zucchini chips. My plan was to try eating 'raw 'til 4,' as many successfully do. It didn't take me long to discover that I'm not someone who does well with this eating plan. No one would say "I'm going to stay clean until 4pm and just do heroin at night." Addiction runs deep in our family. It's taken more than one life. It's taken me 20 years of trial and error, experimenting with raw vegan, repeatedly trying to have my cake and eat it too, to finally make peace with being raw vegan for the rest of my life, so that it's a much longer and happier life. Still filled with delicious food, but also much more energy and health. After just one week of eating cooked food, I'm exhausted, sore, puffy-faced, bloated, achy, stiff, overeating, foggy-headed, low-energy, rash is back across my shoulders, forgetful and three pounds heavier than I was when I started the 40-day grape fast. A 35 lb. weight gain in seven days seems utterly impossible and absurd, but the scale doesn't lie. That's so hard on the heart in more ways than one, but I choose to focus on the positives. My blood sugar remains low. My bloodwork's positive changes cannot be undone in one week, especially not my A1C, which is a three-month average. My hummingbird energy will return in a few days. I have the best raw vegan recipes in the world, thanks to Melissa and Nate Maris of Raw Food Romance. So I can plan my entire first month of raw vegan meals to eat after I finish this current grape fast. I've spent 26 years learning about raw food, and know without a doubt that finishing this grape fast strong by embracing raw food for the rest of my life is how I will ensure that diabetes is behind me forever. I recorded a powerful pep talk for myself this morning that I'm going to gather the courage to share in its entirety on my podcast Raw Vegan Lens. The only way to lose is to quit. I choose to learn from my mistakes and persevere. I choose to listen to my heart instead of the addiction and the worries, fears and criticisms of others. I've done this once. I can do it again, and for even longer. I'm so happy and grateful I read The Grape Cure by Johanna Brandt. She was brave to experiment, persevere, heal herself, and share her findings with the world. Everything is going to be okay. In fact, far better than okay. Just stay the course and be patient with yourself.

Unintended preferences didn't appear to ultimately influence who was admitted to either the KSU College of Veterinary Medicine or the KU School of Medicine, but control weaknesses may have allowed preferences at certain points in the process. We looked for certain controls in CVM and SOM's admission processes to determine whether there were significant opportunities for preferential treatment. We also used regression models to analyze CVM and SOM's 2023-2025 admission data to determine whether certain factors might have affected applicants' outcomes. CVM policy is to invite all academically qualified Kansas residents for an interview. We didn't find any unintended preferences in how the CVM selected applicants for an interview. However, we found several weaknesses in CVM's process that could allow unintended preference in how applicants are scored at the interview stage. Our models showed some possibility of preferential treatment at the application material scoring stage, but this didn't appear to have a large effect on who received admission offers. Our models also showed some possibility of preferential treatment at the interview scoring phase, but this also didn't appear to have a large effect on who received admission offers. After the interview stage, the CVM calculates applicants' final scores and rankings, which help decide which applicants will be offered admission. CVM does not have controls over the “not recommended for admission” designation, which can impact some candidates. Although there were small indicators of preferential scoring along the way, we did not find evidence of unintended preferences in which applicants ultimately were offered admission to the DVM program.  SOM policy is to offer an interview to all applicants with Kansas ties who meet certain GPA and MCAT standards. We found several weaknesses in SOM's file review process that could allow unintended preference in who is invited for an interview. Our models showed some possibility of preferential treatment at the interview invitation stage. We also found weaknesses in SOM's process that could allow unintended preferences in how applicants are scored at the interview stage. Our models showed some possibility of preferential treatment in how interviews were scored, but this didn't appear to have a large effect on who received admission offers. Our models also showed some possibility of preferential treatment in how applicants' overall suitability was scored, but this also didn't appear to have a large effect on who received admission offers. After the interview stage, SOM uses a standardized rubric to determine applicants' final rankings for admission. Although there were small indicators of preference along the way, we did not find evidence of unintended preferences in which applicants ultimately were offered admission to the MD program.

What if screens are not the real problem but the way we are using them is? In this powerful and practical conversation, physician and digital wellbeing researcher Dr Sajita Setia explains why today's children are growing up in what she calls the largest unintended human experiment with technology and how families can respond with clarity instead of guilt We explore what healthy digital habits actually look like in real homes and classrooms: Why the “guilt trap” is hurting parents and children more than screens themselves • How tech companies are intentionally designed to capture attention and why children are not “addicted” but manipulated • The three step framework that works in real families: Name it, Move it, Team it • Why keeping devices out of the bedroom may be the fastest way to improve sleep, mood, and behaviour • How sleep deprivation is quietly driving irritability, low mood, and school struggles in teens • Why emotional regulation skills must come before digital literacy • The truth about delaying smartphones, dumb phones, smart watches, and realistic boundaries • How peer mentoring in schools can shift digital culture from the inside out Dr Sajita works at the intersection of medicine, research, and real family life. As both a clinician and a mother, she brings a rare combination of scientific depth and compassionate realism to the digital wellbeing conversation If you are a parent, educator, or simply someone trying to raise grounded kids in a screen-saturated world, this episode offers practical, evidence-informed steps you can implement immediately. Healthy tech is not about banning devices. It is about connection, boundaries, sleep, and intention.

Sir Niall Ferguson, Milbank Family Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution and columnist at The Free Press, reveals how geography and choke points have always been pivotal in global conflicts and just like the Dardanelles during WWI, today's hotspots like the Straits of Hormuz and Taiwan remind us that some strategic challenges never change. What exactly are chokepoints and why do they matter? How do the lessons of Gallipoli and Ukraine apply to the war with Iran? How is the current situation different from the Tanker War and WWI? Can naval and air power alone open the Strait of Hormuz and keep it open? Is there a timeline for success? And what does this all mean for U.S. magazine depth, the economy, and China? ▪️ Times 02:49 Gallipoli 11:08 Unintended consequences      18:10 Ukraine 26:22 A failure of perception 31:36 The right call by Trump?  37:34 Regime alteration 47:05 Timeframes 53:33 China Follow along on Instagram, X @schoolofwarpod, and YouTube @SchoolofWarPodcast Find more content on our School of War Substack

Subscribe now to listen to the entire 28-minute episode (or preview 7 minutes). Nearly three weeks into launching an unprovoked attack on Iran, whose supreme leader was assassinated in an Israeli air strike, it has become clear that President Trump and his national security team badly misjudged their enemy. The regime is surviving. And, according to expert Vali Nasr, Iran is transitioning to an IRGC-led state with even more uncompromising leadership. Unintended consequences were, therefore, inevitable because key U.S. decision-makers misunderstood Iran and ignored intelligence warnings about the unlikelihood of regime collapse. Vali Nasr teaches Middle East studies at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. He is the author of "Iran's Grand Strategy: A Political History."

In this season of Lent, we're on a break from new episodes and are re-running a conversation from 2023 that we had the co-author of Freeing Congregational Mission, Dr. Hunter Farrell. He served as a long-term missionary in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Peru and now works as the Director of the World Mission Initiative at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. Dr. Farrell brings a wealth of first hand and research knowledge about Christian Mission. After 35 years in intercultural missions, he is calling for a reframing of missions. What would it look like to approach missions with a learning posture? How can we create spaces of connection for shared learning across cultures?

Equal-weighted index funds sound like an elegant solution to some of today's biggest investor anxieties: high market concentration, elevated valuations, and outsized influence from a handful of mega-cap stocks. In this episode of the Rational Reminder Podcast, Ben Felix, Dan Bortolotti, and Ben Wilson take a deep, evidence-based look at whether equal weighting actually improves portfolios—or simply introduces new risks under a different name. The discussion breaks down how equal-weighted indices differ fundamentally from traditional market-cap-weighted indexes, why equal weighting has historically outperformed in certain periods, and what's really driving those results beneath the surface. The team explains how equal weighting tilts portfolios toward smaller, cheaper, and more volatile stocks, while also systematically trading against momentum due to frequent rebalancing. Key Points From This Episode:   (0:01:10) Introduction to Episode 394 and discussion about declining enthusiasm over long podcast runs. (0:02:00) PWL Capital's growing work with institutional clients and why index-based approaches are rare in that space. (0:05:12) Episode topic introduced: equal-weighted index funds and why listeners keep asking about them. (0:06:00) Definition of market-cap-weighted vs. equal-weighted indexes using the S&P 500 as the main example. (0:07:14) Historical outperformance of equal-weighted S&P 500 indexes and why start dates matter. (0:09:00) Equal weight vs. cap weight performance over the last decade: meaningful recent underperformance. (0:10:21) Market concentration concerns and why equal weighting appears attractive during periods of high valuations. (0:12:00) Why market-cap-weighted indexes do not mechanically buy more overvalued stocks as prices rise. (0:16:14) Trading costs explained: explicit vs. implicit costs and why turnover matters more than TER. (0:19:16) Capital gains, tax efficiency, and reporting differences between Canadian and U.S. funds. (0:21:07) Market concentration historically shows little relationship with future returns. (0:24:58) Volatility comparison: equal-weighted indexes are meaningfully more volatile due to small-cap exposure. (0:25:12) Equal weighting increases exposure to small-cap, value, and high-volatility stocks. (0:28:58) Sector distortions created by equal weighting and why this represents uncompensated risk. (0:31:21) Unintended consequences: sector bets, security-level overweights, and forced rebalancing. (0:32:30) Turnover is roughly 10× higher in equal-weighted funds than cap-weighted equivalents. (0:33:15) Equal weighting behaves as a systematic anti-momentum strategy. (0:34:02) Multi-factor regression results: positive size and value exposure, negative momentum loading. (0:36:33) Rebalancing frequency trade-offs and how quarterly rebalancing amplifies momentum drag. (0:42:21) Comparison with alternative approaches that target similar factor exposures more efficiently. (0:44:47) Why backtests are seductive—and why live fund results matter more. (0:47:40) Investor behavior, uncertainty, and the constant search for strategies that "fix" the market. (0:48:41) Factor investing in disguise: most deviations from cap-weighting are just factor tilts. (0:53:06) Equal weighting as an acceptable strategy—if investors understand and accept the trade-offs. (0:57:18) Listener feedback, enthusiasm jokes, and discussion about Spotify video uploads and audio speed.

Institutional investors are often blamed for America's housing affordability crisis, but are they really the problem? Ron Phillips breaks down recent claims about banning institutional investors from buying single-family homes and explains why the numbers don't support the narrative. He walks through actual ownership data, highlights why government regulation and inflation play a far bigger role in rising home prices, and challenges listeners to look past political talking points and into the real drivers behind housing supply, demand, and affordability.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE   How much of the housing market do institutional investors actually own Why blaming large investors ignores the real affordability drivers The breakdown of owner-occupied, rental, and vacant housing in the U.S. Main factors that inflate construction costs Unintended consequences of government intervention in housing markets   RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Why It's Nearly Impossible to Build Affordable Housing in America with Brian Mertz    CONNECT WITH US: If you need help with anything in real estate, please email invest@rpcinvest.com  Reach Ron: RP Capital Leave podcast reviews and topic suggestions: iTunes Subscribe and get additional info: Get Real Estate Success Facebook Group: Cash Flow Property Facebook Community Instagram: @ronphillips_ YouTube: RpCapital Get the latest trends and insights: RP Capital Newsletter
