Hey everyone! Long time lurker, first time poster.
My name is Yovel Rom. I'm an Israeli data scientist. I served in the IDF in an elite program called Talpiot, which consists of a physics udergrad and broad military education (basically West Point for technology people, but more elitist), then as a data scientist, and finished my service as a captain. I'm currently at home, since I finished my service two years ago and they don't need many data scientists right now.
Ask me anything. I'm as updated on the situation as a person with no formal position can be (which might be less than you expect).
EDIT: I will try to cite sources as much as possible, but I might do that in Hebrew since there's so much more of it. I will only cite Wikipedia, major newspapers and state- funded think tanks, which are reliable.
Not a question, but seems relevant for people who read this post:
