Take a look at this picture. It was taken today at our Salesforce offices in Tel-Aviv. It shows a few dozens of Salesforce Israel employees in one of our regular all-hands meetings. What's so special about that? Well, that picture was taken exactly 36 hours after Iran launched a massive aerial strike against Israel with 100s of UCAVs, ballistic and cruise missiles carrying about 60 tons(!) of explosives. Thanks to the Israeli Air force, the air forces of the US, UK, France, Jordan and others *and* Israeli innovation and engineering talent who developed the most advanced multi-layered air defense systems in the world - luckily that attack ended up with relatively low impact. It was a sleepless night for all us in Israel who got an advanced notice of the attack and basically spent that night bracing for impact. Now take another look at this picture. 36 hours later - People showing up at the office, talking to each other, having a few laughs, having meetings, discussing deadlines, solving business problems, discussing engineering problems, doing demos, having coffee and lunch together, having an all-hands meeting together. 36 hours ago we were bracing for impact of 60 tons of explosives that were about to fall out of the sky. Take another look at this picture - This is how resilience looks like. You can count on us. We deliver. No matter what. https://lnkd.in/eXSvz3xv

This knowledge helps in setting realistic expectations and creating an appealing work environment for American recruits. 🎯 𝐄𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Ensure clear and transparent communication. American professionals appreciate direct and open conversations, but also value politeness and respect. Tailor your communication style to be assertive yet considerate.

Ghosting can be very damaging to the employer brand. A positive experience can be a deciding factor in their choice to join your organization.

Google Fires 28 Workers Protesting Billion-Dollar Israeli Cloud Contract!! After a number of workers participated in a sit-in protest against its cloud contract with the #Israeli government, a day after nine staffers were suspended and then arrested for participating in the protest. In a memo, the company alleged the protesting workers “took over office spaces” and “defaced our property,” while the group behind the protests, called No Tech for Apartheid, said that the firings were “clearly retaliatory.” https://lnkd.in/ehTrZDU6 For more information on open positions, we are working on globally with our Portfolio Clients then contact Andrew Robinson FREC, louise robinson or Rebecca Beauchamp call us on +44 (0)1923 312435.

TL;DR - You're likely overpaying for your cloud-database infrastructure, and it remains the weakest link in your SLA chain. When Tal Tamir and I embarked on our mission to optimize relational databases in the cloud with Rapydo, we initially didn't grasp the real root cause of high database costs. After engaging with hundreds of Amazon RDS users, we realized that high costs are merely a symptom of a few deeper issues. Cloud applications can scale infinitely, but your RDBMS cannot. This disparity creates a significant challenge: while your applications scale out seamlessly, your databases are limited to scaling up. This forces companies to prepare for worst-case scenario spikes around the clock. This challenge is particularly prevalent among the cloud-native businesses we spoke with, where over 90% rely heavily on RDBMS. Even with over-provisioning to handle potential application spikes, DevOps teams cannot be certain that the next spike will be absorbed by the available CPU and I/O resources. This uncertainty results in overpaying for database infrastructure while still facing the risk of performance bottlenecks. If you're encountering similar issues with your cloud-based RDBMS, reach out to me or Shir Margalit. Let's discuss how we can help to reduce your DB Outages by 99%, with 0 engineering efforts

A screenless AR laptop is a revolutionary device that uses augmented reality (AR) to create a virtual display, eliminating the need for a physical screen. This cutting-edge technology projects digital content directly into the user's field of vision through AR glasses or headsets. Users interact with holographic interfaces and virtual keyboards, enhancing portability and flexibility. The screenless AR laptop offers a more immersive and expansive workspace, as virtual screens can be resized and positioned freely. It also reduces eye strain and adapts to various lighting conditions. This innovation is ideal for professionals who need a versatile and portable computing solution, transforming how we work, collaborate, and consume digital content in a more integrated and interactive environment.

Israel is a giant playground if you can perceive it as such. One of my adventures in the corridors of Israeli academia (it’s a comedy. They all are) involved an esoteric investigation into a new class of numbers. There was a notion that there is a negative zero and a positive zero, and that it is somehow useful. I came in to the lab, understood what is required, and wrote the code that produces negative and positive zeros, and queries that perform statistical analysis on the outputs, etc, etc, etc. Negative zeros, positive zeros, perhaps useless in any case aside from slippage calculation in zero-ish trade thresholds. In any case, it’s unfeasible, due to Binance fees. https://lnkd.in/dfjKhTND

In a recent interview with Walla, I discussed the crucial topic of safeguarding business data, emphasizing the significant impact of even minor errors by employees on an entire organization.
