Today is Cakewalk’s 2 year incorporation anniversary. We’ve been live for 18 months and helped thousands of small businesses. The reason we started this still feels the same.Small business owners want to offer great benefits. They just don’t want to become benefits experts or deal with all the broker and carrier complexity. 🧵

On 103FM, PM candidate Gadi Eisenkot disputes a claim, which he calls a Netanyahu "lie," that he once said Israel must accept a nuclear Iran. Host Ben Caspit reads a 2018 Walla report; Eisenkot says his paper says nothing of the kind. Via @BenCaspit.

Israel's Channel 12 (N12): Israeli security officials say if Iran "doesn't come to its senses, action is a very realistic scenario," as Netanyahu speaks with Secretary of State Rubio. US officials see no urgency to act right now, the report adds. Via @N12News.

First post: Israel in English
Kan News exclusive by Ayala Hasson: a Shin Bet document from Oct 5, 2023 — two days before the massacre — shows Ronen Bar leading talks on a "long-term calm" with Hamas, incl. goodwill gestures to Sinwar. English subtitles.

i24NEWS: New details on the two Maldivian flydubai first officers arrested in Israel — suspected of coordinating with the "terrorist pilot" to get rostered on flights to Israel. Held 12 days without lawyers or family access. #flydubai
I may be going out on a limb and look bad in a few weeks, but, it is so ridiculously obvious to me that Netanyahu and his coalition are going to win pretty handily…

משפחתי ואני מודים לכל מי שמתפלל עבורנו ותומך בנו בתקופה זו. חייו של נריה עדיין תלויים על בלימה, אך ראינו כמה סימנים מעודדים ואנו נאחזים בהם בתקווה.
אנו מאמינים בכוחה של תפילה, בכך שה' שומע תפילות ויכול לרפא גם כאשר הריפוי נראה בלתי אפשרי.
לצד תחושת התודה העמוקה שלי לכל מי שדואג, אני מבקש שהתפילות עבור נריה יכללו גם איחולים לרפואה שלמה לכל מי שנפצע באורח קשה מידי מחבלים. נריה וחבריו הם הגיבורים שמבטיחים שנוכל להתמיד ולנצח במאבק נגד אלה שזורעים רצח והרס.
זהו מאבק על עתיד הציוויליזציה, לא פחות.
how weird do @sama and @DarioAmodei have to be to make @finkd look like the rock star cool kid on the block?
Really cool opportunity with a great company for my TLV network.
The Information is hiring our first Israel Bureau Chief as we ramp up our international expansion!
Ten years ago, we opened an Asia bureau and cemented a leading position in covering China tech.
Last month, we welcomed our first reporter in Singapore.
And as I searched for our next hub, I was looking for a place whose tech industry is woefully under covered relative to its significance, and the answer was clear.
Israel is at the center of three of the most important tech trends of the day: AI, cyber and defense.
I can't wait to build this team together with an awesome bureau chief.
Check out the role here.

Today I met Marc @Benioff, founder of @Salesforce.
I asked if he wrapped Tefillin.
“Of course. What’s the question?”
He told me he’s been wrapping consistently for 30 years, every morning, and that it’s become a meditation that brings tremendous blessings into his life.
He’s been doing it since before he even founded Salesforce.
Marc thanked me for the work I’m doing with Tefillin and emphasized how important it is.
It was also inspiring hearing about his legendary 1-1-1 model:
1% of equity
1% of product
1% of employees’ time
Dedicated to giving back.
That model has since been adopted by 20,000+ companies.
A true example of building a company while building a culture of giving.
Truly inspiring.
36 hours into Omarchy on my old dusted off M2 Pro. Did I say I am never going back?
@dhh @OmarchyMac @OmarchyLinux
I am 24hrs in to @OmarchyLinux on my M2 Pro MacBook. I dusted it off (I have M4 Pro Max MacBook and M3 Ultra Mac Studio at the office).
How can I ever go back to MacOS?
Thank you @dhh @OmarchyMac

.@edsheeran I brought my wife and two daughters to MetLife Friday because we are huge fans of yours. We arrived early, I spent $180 on two sweatshirts for them, watched the first two opening acts and were having a great time.
Then Macklemore decided to turn your concert into his political rally.
When he started chanting “Free Palestine” and pushing his clearly uneducated version of the Israel/Gaza conflict, my daughters looked at me completely confused. I had brought them to an Ed Sheeran concert, not to have an opening act lecture them about Middle East politics.
After Friday night, I started looking into Macklemore’s history. What I found, including his repeated use of antisemitic tropes, made the whole thing even worse.
So I took my family and walked inside alongside hundreds of your other fans. As we were walking in, even the MetLife security guards were rolling their eyes at what was happening on stage.
We waited until Macklemore was finished before returning to our seats. Then we watched your show, which was phenomenal.
I left Friday hoping maybe this had caught you and your team off guard.
Then tonight you allowed it to happen again.
You knew exactly what Macklemore had done the night before, and you gave him the stage again.
Friday might have been Macklemore’s decision. Saturday was yours.
You have a lot of Jewish fans who love your music, buy your albums and merchandise, and bring their kids to your concerts.
Tonight, you lost four of them. And I suspect plenty more.

40 handoffs. 8 to 12 weeks. cakewalk does this in minutes because a 10 person shop does not have a benefits department and we built for that on purpose.
1200 businesses in. the next 1200 get the same promise. great benefits. no expert required.
80% of workers take benefits over the same job plus 30% more cash and nothing. aicpa / harris.
a small company should be able to offer that. most still cant without the owner taking on a second job. that is the gap.
know your metrics cold. chase truth, not hype.
i want cakewalk to be the number one digital benefits platform for small businesses in america. bar none. that only happens if the numbers are real and the customers are real.
