Writing is a lot like coding - be elegant, be clear, be creative - using as few lines as possible :)

I dunno about you, but Lakewood seems like it definitely use some comedy nights.

@ShaisTaub What about JCCs? A community center with a pool and/or a gym where kids can go to blow off steam and socialize

I don't live in Lakewood and I'm not familiar with the details of this situation. But the discussion around it has me thinking about a bigger issue that deserves a thoughtful conversation: What is the role of kosher restaurants in the frum world today?
On one side, some argue that when security has to disperse groups of teens, we should ask: "Where exactly do we want these kids hanging out? In non-kosher places?" On the other side, many say that when a restaurant turns into a teen hangout, it becomes uncomfortable (even questionably inappropriate) for others to eat there.
This touches on something larger. Sociologists call these kinds of spots "third places" — informal public gathering spots that are neither home (first place) nor work/school (second place). Neutral, public places where people can just show up. In a secular world that has largely lost these third places (think of the dead malls), the frum community is one of the last bastions where they still exist.
Yet I wonder: Throughout our entire history, in Eretz Yisrael and across the diaspora for thousands of years, did we ever have official kosher "third places" that weren't shuls (or batei medrash)? In the alta heim there were things like the simple tehoyz (teahouse), but they hardly had official corporate hashgacha — such things simply did not exist. And the fabled kretchme seems to have been largely a non-Jewish scene even if managed by Jews.
Does the Jewish community have a responsibility to create kosher third places for those who may be on the fringe of observance? If not a responsibility, then at least a right to do so? Or is the whole notion ill-advised?
I have some thoughts of my own, but I'd love to hear some informed perspectives first.

Rabbonim in Toms River issued a letter to their kehillos about the new Smash House restaurant: "As of now, there is reason to believe that one who cares about their and their children’s יראת שמים, would or should not want to patronize an establishment that at certain times has an environment that adds to the degrading of accepted boundaries." "If you feel there has been significant improvement in this situation, please bring it to our attention."

This is one of the most jaw-dropping, chilling interviews I have seen. Watch this Rabbi from London, respond to question about the terror stabbing in Golders Green!

Because most Yeshivas are "Non-Prophet" institutions :)

Why do religious Jews not learn Tanach? I sat down with Bible scholar and geopolitical analyst Saul Sadka, sometimes called “the man who rewrote the Torah”, for a wide-ranging conversation and debate.

Overheard in Silicon Valley: "Rebranding to 'forward deployed engineer' from 'consultant' one of the great all time recruiting whammies."

100% - as evidenced by the crowd of teenage boys who hang out in my home nearly every shabbat - playing board games, talking face to face, eating me out of house and home.

Specifically what the Orthodox Jewish community had managed to achieve in terms of if widespread Shabbos observance within the community is simply miraculous and should seriously be studied by other faith-communities, denominations, and civilizations.

It was an honor to take the TEDx stage in Washington, D.C.
In my talk, The Digital Butterfly Effect, I challenged how we think about cyber risk. Small, routine actions — reusing passwords or trusting everyday transactions — reflect a broader assumption: That security is already handled.
In reality, most individuals don't know where their data resides. Roughly 90% of global software depends on about 150 companies. This level of concentration means a single vulnerability can create widespread impact. The audience left with clear, practical insight into how we can think about this as individuals... and as a collective.
Thank you to the TEDxFoggyBottom George Washington University team for making this incredible event possible. I can't wait to hear the rest of the talks and exchange ideas that are changing the world.

This is going to happen more and more with Prediction markets - those who can will attempt to manipulate events to make their bets hit. We saw this with the intimidation of an Israeli reporter who's report caused a bet to fail.

holy fuck, a hair dryer at a Paris airport broke Polymarket weather markets & made someone $34,000 richer - polymarket was settling Paris temperature bets on a single Météo France sensor sitting near the Charles de Gaulle runway perimeter - basically unguarded - the guy bought the long-shot outcome (like "22°C" when everyone expected 18°C) for pennies, since nobody thought it'd hit - then he walked up to the probe and briefly heated the air around it with a portable heat source, spiking the reading just long enough to register as the daily max - temperature snapped back to normal in minutes, the market resolved in his favor, and he cashed out - twice, on April 6 and April 15, before Météo France caught on and filed charges hyperstitions.

Fun fact : A Lot of people have heard of Claude by Anthropic. But do you know this equation (which lots of cryptographers back from my Ph.D. Yale University days would know)?
H = −Σ p(x) log p(x)
It is the entropy equation : it measures uncertainty in information. In simple terms, it tells us how much surprise is in a message, and therefore how many bits are needed to encode it efficiently. This idea sits underneath modern computing, compression, cryptography, and even AI.
It was invented by Claude Shannon - and Claude, the AI model by Anthropic, is named after the man who invented it. Claude Shannon was a mathematician and engineer at Bell Labs, widely considered the father of information theory. One fun fact: Shannon was not a stereotypical academic. He rode a unicycle through Bell Labs hallways while juggling.
My favorite quote from him: “I was motivated by curiosity. Never by the desire for financial gain. I just wondered how things were put together.”
Curiosity really does matter - and it's one of the most important characteristics I l look for in leaders at SecurityScorecard.

@thegoldenmuzzy @stefen_rosner .... does he have the jammies to prove it?

I’m told #Isles are in the mix for University of Michigan’s T.J Hughes, now a FA.
Ironically, he’s from Hamilton, ON, where Bridgeport is relocating to.
Hughes is a Hobey Baker Finalist.

Stanford CS graduating class of 2026 just got their final placement statistics
Out of 312 graduates: 18 have full-time offers
That's a 5.8% placement rate from the most prestigious CS program in the fucking world
2019 placement rate was 94%. 2022 was 78%. 2024 was 31%. Now this.
The other 294 are fighting over 47 internships that require "3+ years production experience"
Career services is telling them to "consider adjacent fields" while the department just took a $50M donation from a company that replaced 2,400 engineers with Claude
One kid showed me his rejection tracker: 1,247 applications since September. 12 phone screens. Zero offers.
His parents refinanced their house for his tuition
The career fair had 8 companies and 300 desperate students in $180k of debt
Meanwhile the CS department just announced they're expanding their PhD program because "industry demand for AI research has never been higher"
The same week they sent acceptance letters to 89 new undergrads
These kids thought they were learning to be engineers. Turns out they were training to be obsolete.

@stefen_rosner @TheElmonters Just thinking about how easy it is for him to com from Bridgeport to the Island - and how much harder it will be next year to commute from Hamilton.

Isaiah George may be up because of injuries…
But the #Isles tested their defensive depth all season — & still landed on him in the end.
To me, that decision speaks volumes whether he plays or not @TheElmonters
