Welcome, ladies, gentlemen, and everyone to the Q1 2019 DTNS Hangout. I'm Tom Merritt. He's Roger Chang. Hello. I'm Roger Chang. Our intern, Amos, is here as well. Hello. And, of course, with us, my co-host, Sarah Lane. Hello, everyone. Hello. And how is everyone's pleasant Saturday? Let me just say your hair looks divine. Well, thanks. Oh. Fresh roots. You just came from the stylist. I did, yeah. News flash. My hair is not actually this light. It's something you have to put a little money into. No worries. Well, for what it's worth, my hair isn't usually this gray, but I put a little extra effort into it. Yeah. It helps distinguish you. You're very distinguished. Right. So for anybody who hasn't seen this before, every three months, we like to do a Hangout where we check in and just let people know how things are going with the Daily Tech News Show. This is directed at our patrons.  You are the people we are answerable to. And so we like to keep you updated about what we're thinking about, what we're doing, all of that sort of thing. And let's start with the Patreon stuff. The merchandise program is in its last month. It's only got a couple of weeks left. And the way it works is if you are at a particular level that is the master or advisor level and you stay at that level for three months, you'll get a cool piece of merchandise as a thank you. So at the master level, you get a DTNS five-year anniversary art mug. That's the art made by Len Peralta. And at the advisor level, you get the DTNS poster, which, well, it's got that art on it. I don't know what to do with the poster. But anyway, that gets sent to you as soon as you get three months. So anybody who was at those levels January 1 should start receiving information after the end of March about getting your stuff. This is a Patreon beta program. So just a warning ahead of time that there may be miscommunications. You also have to have an email address or a mailing address in there. They can't send you anything if they don't have your mailing address. And you need to do that at patreon.com slash DTNS slash merch, I think. That's where you can look at all of that stuff. So anyway, that's going along fine right now because we haven't actually started having them send anything. The whole idea is that they'll do it for us. So we pay a little extra money for it, but then they do all the packaging and shipping and all of that, which will be very cool. There's also just the five year anniversary going on. The merchandise program was kind of a way to celebrate that. We're going to try to do some other stuff. And we're open to ideas if you're like, you know what, I've been thinking it would be really cool to celebrate five years of DTNS. Email us feedback at DailyTechNewsShow.com. And we will do special offers again. We did a special offer as a beta test in December where we sent out holiday cards. So again, if you want to make sure that you've got the right email address or I can't keep saying email right shipping address, go to patreon.com slash pledges. That will show you all of the places you support on Patreon and whether they have your address or not. It just just shows up in there. They just redesigned it. So I'm looking, yeah, it's still there. There's a shipping address column on the right. If you don't see anything there, then you'll want to edit your membership for that. Just don't, you don't have to change anything else. Just go in and make sure that you've got a shipping address added. That's where you can check to see if there's one or not. It'll even say like, hey, your pledge includes a benefit. You might want to update that. For instance, mine for Scott Johnson says, hey, your pledge includes a physical benefit that requires a shipping address. You might want to update that. That's why I never get anything from Scott. That's fine. I don't want to, I don't need, I don't need to waste a shipment on that. Yeah, frog pants. So anyway, other than that, let's check in. You know what I haven't looked at in the last day is the, uh, um, hold on. Why can't I see that? The notifications, the, uh, the, uh, the, the, the number of patrons that we have. So, oh, I don't know how to get to that anymore. Interesting. Well, uh, new interfaces. Yeah, new interface. I want to know how many, uh, patrons we have over last month. That's what I'm trying to check because, you know, our, our rolling monthly goal is to get just one more than last month. And there it is. Okay. Right now, as of this very moment, we are five fewer than last month. Don't panic. That's normal for mid month. A lot of times that happens because there's this crossover of, there's always people who are like, ah, I just don't have the funds anymore. That's, that's always going to happen. We're always getting new people joining up. Uh, and then there's the, the people whose payments didn't, didn't process because their credit card expired or whatever and didn't fix it. So by mid month, those people start to bring us down a little bit as well. Uh, so really all we need is for you to double check, make sure your payment. Uh, information is up to date. Or if you're not a patron, uh, become one and become a member. How are you guys feeling about Patreon stuff? Well, uh, I mean, I certainly want everyone's feedback, um, especially when some of the patrons start to get their fun goodies, but, um, otherwise it's a, uh, it's a platform that works well for us and continues to, um, I'm, I'm just happy that everyone is getting the, uh, the shows to the feeds. I mean, I, I'm hoping the new system that you set up where people can choose a tier has cleared up some of the, uh, some of the frustration a few people have had about receiving what version of the show, um, that comes into their, uh, pod podcatcher. That's a really good point. The, uh, the tier system allowed us to have multiple tiers at the same amount. Uh, it used to be, if you had a tier that was $5, that was it. You had a tier that was $5. The new tier system lets us have multiple $5 tiers, which when that came along, it allowed us to say, Hey, do you want good day internet in your RSS feed? Do you want DTNS in your S, S feed? Or do you want both, uh, good day internet includes DTNS, but some people just wanted to hear the DTNS. They didn't want to hear good day internet. So, uh, so we created three tiers at each level. And I know that's been most difficult for, for existing users new, new users just, they, they see the list of tiers and they pick it. I think existing users, because what I did was grandfathered everyone into good day internet. Like if you didn't change your tier, you got good day internet because that's what you got when we only had one option per tier. Uh, and if you want to get just DTNS, you have to change it. Some people didn't realize that they could get our, our feed through Patreon and, and I know I've seen some people in the dashboard saying, well, there's commercials in the feed. So I'm not going to support you on Patreon anymore and not realizing they got the commercial free version, uh, through Patreon. So we could be better, uh, about communicating that. But, um, but yeah, uh, if you didn't know about that tier thing and you're like, yeah, I listened to good day internet, but I'd like the option to get just DTNS, uh, you, you can have that option. Just change your tier. Uh, all right. Anything else about Patreon that we want to talk about before we move on? Just how thankful we are. Yeah. Reiterate that. Thank you. Yeah. Uh, keep in the lights on everybody. You're the best. We, we, we try to offer as many ways to support the show as possible. You know, there's the free feed with ads. So if you're listening to the free feed, then you're supporting us through the ads. There's, uh, pay, PayPal. If you just, we're like, yeah, I just want to directly support you. Um, but that, but that's it. There's PayPal. Uh, you can buy merch. Uh, we have, uh, dailytechnewshow.com slash store with hats and shirts and hoodies and stuff. Uh, or pay, but Patreon's really the best way because it provides the majority of our funding by far. And it's a way to easily communicate with people and give people benefits. And it's worth every penny. I keep saying this. Pay, pay, sometimes people are like, how can I help you out without letting Patreon take that 5% and I say, let them take that 5%. It's absolutely worth it. Facebook wants to take 30%. YouTube and Twitch want to take 50% or more. Uh, it's, it's a screaming deal. Uh, and, and so I, I always tell people that's, that's fine. Uh, if you, if you're fine with supporting us with Patreon, then that's our preferred way for you to do it. All right, let's talk a little bit about the ads. Um, these quarterly hangouts were instrumental in chatting with people and fine, figuring out the best way to, to roll out the ads on the, on the public feed. And if you don't realize this, I want to, can't emphasize this enough. The reason we have ads at all is in order to create, uh, enough funds to be able to do stuff like CES without feeling like it's cutting us too close to the bone. The Patreon funds provide us the operations to do the daily show, but, uh, but to do stuff, you know, like CES, I was dipping into savings that the company has made and, uh, and having ads will, will help us build up. And, and looks like that's working. I think we're going to have budget, I think we've already hit our budget for CES next year, which means, you know, two or three months from now, I can start thinking about, well, what else could we do?  Why not both? Why not? Yeah. Well, it allows us a flexibility to try new stuff, uh, without necessarily setting up a new Patreon. Without saying, okay, we have to hit this amount. And, you know, if it's something that 30% of the audience would like, it's probably worth doing, but if only 30% would like it, we might not get enough Patreon money to do it. Uh, and so the, the, this, this lets us just try stuff, uh, with, without being tied into that, to that rigidity of it and allows us to deal with the patrons is like, you're the boss, you're the folks who support us no matter what. And you don't, you don't have to support us extra for us to do extra things. The reason I went with a cast particularly, and this is really important is I don't know what the ads are. The only thing I can do with a cast is I can say, I don't want to have ads from this kind of company from this industry, uh, like gambling or something like that. Um, but I don't ever know who the clients are unless I go listen to one of our, our free podcast episodes out there. Uh, so I don't feel pressure on me to cover anything in any particular way, because I'm not going to be reading that ad. It's just going to play, it's going to be different for different people in different parts of the world, uh, because a cast is a worldwide company, uh, even different and different places in the U S. So it allows me to be free of that. There's a nice big wall. That's something I've liked at every place I've worked at tech TV, CNET, there always was a wall. You didn't talk to the sales staff about your content. Uh, and this is essentially a version of that. All right. Anything else on a cast? Patreon, we're going to take questions from people, by the way, if you're in our DTNS Slack, which is available at the analyst level, uh, or if you're at the, uh, advisor master or analyst level in the discord, uh, we'll be looking in, in there for questions, uh, and we will be looking at the chat and, and stuff too, uh, but, but we like to, you know, give a little priority to the folks, to the folks who are supporting us. Um, anything else I can think of before we, uh, we move along? Well, just on the subject of, of Patreon, um, F glass 1976, which leads me to believe we might share a year, um, a very cool year, um, says that, um, they're enjoying us reading the patron names at the beginning of each show episodes, which we've been doing for a couple months now. Yeah. We started doing that in January, um, because we have people who've been supporting us for five years and we can tell who they are. Yeah.  And, uh, thanks for liking it. Thanks for noticing. Yeah. Teaglass 1976 has been one of those people who supported us. Teaglass, not F glass. Yeah. Um, man. Sarah needs glasses. Teaglass will answer as long as you need F glasses, the Teaglass. Hey, speaking of Sarah Lane, uh, one of the cool things we've been doing, uh, is, uh, taking some of that, that, that capital expenditures money and, uh, committing to, to trying out new products. So you, how far are you now into the Jabra experience that in our live with it? Good question. I should, I should have my, my, the date that it arrived in front of me and we'll have to, we'll, we'll look back at our Amazon delivery. But yeah. So the, the Jabra elite T 65, I think is the, um, the model and I've been using them dutifully every day and trying to use them in different scenarios. Um, just to get a sense of how they actually work into my routine. And of course, at the end of the three months, I'll have a long review and I take notes every time something good happens or something weird or squirrely happens. But the short kind of mid check in, um, is that I love the sounds. They are good headphones. They do not fall out of my ears. They are easy to use, super portable, great little carrying case, but Bluetooth is annoying. And every so often I got to forget them as a device, add them within iOS.  Now they're, they're wireless.   So often Jabra Jabber, you get some Jabra Jabber. She's very nice, a little bit more robotic than the others, but, you know, we, we, we get along fine, um, every so often Bluetooth will only connect to the right side. And so you got to like repair it again so that you get your left speaker or your left, um, earbud working. Now this is a minor annoyance and it doesn't happen that often. So it's not, it's certainly not a deal breaker. And I know it's a Bluetooth problem, not a Jabra specific problem, because people complain about this with Bluetooth earbuds in general. But when you're out walking, you got your coffee in hand, your dog's pulling, and this is happening, it tends to be pretty annoying. And it always seems to happen to me when I'm in a rush and I like don't have any free hands to like repair my, my Bluetooth. So there are some, there are some gripes. It is not, this is not a perfect product, particularly because as earbuds go, you can go more expensive, but you can also go a lot cheaper than the Jabra's. They're, you know, they're, they're 100 plus bucks, about 150. So something to, something to keep in mind. I will say though, the sound is amazing. And there's a Jabra app where you can do all sorts of stuff, you know, to, you know, turn up the bass or make it more concert hall-like or, or make it a little bit more noise canceling or less noise canceling. If you want to see, hear more street noise that are coming into your ears. So it's, it's, I'm, I'm overall extremely impressed and would buy again. So I, I checked it, February 15th. Your package was delivered and handed directly to a resident. That was me. That was me. Well, it was somebody. I don't actually remember if somebody gave it right to me. It might have been Fidel downstairs. OK, so we got, so we were exactly one month into a three month thing. OK, so my, my, my overall one third of the way through is mostly positive with some moderate grapes here and there. Jabra leads 65 T's if anybody wanted the exact model number. Yeah, the idea is that on May 15th, we'll, we'll create an episode where Sarah will say, OK, this is for real. Like I've been living with these. That's why it's called live with it. And because you were, you were real excited the first week you had them and then you started to have the Bluetooth problems more often. And you seem to have stabilized from what I can tell on your opinion. But it'll be curious if that stays for the next two months or something else crops up or you find a solution. Exactly. Yeah. And there, there are sometimes things that they're just sort of weird things that happen. It's not necessarily like these aren't working, but you know, I'll, I'll be halfway through a podcast and you know, I'll pause it and usually when I come home, I'm not using them anymore. I'm using them when I'm out and about. And then when I put them back in, you know, press play, it'll like default back to some music that I was listening to like weeks ago. Oh, weird. You know, where I'm like, it was the podcast app. Like why would you go back to what I was listening to the last time? So it's just kind of funny things like that where again, not the end of the world, but slightly annoying. Reminds me of when you get in a car with Bluetooth and instead of picking up on your podcasting app or with me, Google Play Music, it just starts playing something out of your iTunes library because you got an iPhone and it's and it's often like an alphabetical thing. Yeah, right. So it's always Vampire Weekend. Oh, a punk. Yeah, I actually had to delete that song because it had, it had begun to upset me so much. And I don't even hate the song. But it's right. But it's just like a certain point. If you start to associate it with things malfunctioning, right? Well, and it's a super happy song. Yeah, it's just like, I heard I heard like the beginning 10 seconds of that song 400 times before I'm like, all right, we're not going to have this in my library anymore. I can't do this anymore. Yeah. Now it's like an MIA song that probably starts with an A. All right, May 15th, the Ides of May. I don't know if that's actually the Ides of May, but that's what that's what we're calling it on this. Yeah, it's been great, though. Also, and this is just just before we move on. So I got a new car. What? I know. I know I just want to get one. I got a Volvo XC 60.  I went crazy. This is a very large car. Like I look like a toddler in this car. It's not the largest. Like it's it's a crossover SUV, so it's a small SUV. But it's much larger than any car I've ever had. My gosh, I'm looking at it online. Yeah, yeah, yeah.  It's not the largest car. It's not like a Land Rover or anything. But no, no, no, no, no. No, certainly not. But but it's for me, I'm like, I'm higher off the ground than I've ever been. I feel like like a super hero of some. Yeah, I'm going to say, do you feel powerful because you're like it's a it's a it's a very nice car and it like parks itself. It's a total robot. I want to live in that car. I don't even want an apartment anymore. I just want to I just want to like get absorbed into the Volvo car and just and that's where I'm going to be. You can find me in my car. However, the reason the reason that I mention this is because we're not going to be buying cars for live live with it.  I was like, this could be something we could like work in somehow. Yeah, because it's it's a very unique kind of technical interface that I have barely scratched the surface of. But it just it just it seemed like somehow we can we can get creative and work this into our little series. What was the clinching factor for picking that particular car? Well, first is because I got a deal that I didn't deserve, meaning I mean, this is this is a nice car. It's it's it's nicer than I am. This is this car is too good for me. However, I kind of know somebody who knows somebody. And I got a really good deal like to the point where when you know, because the person who kind of did my deal, you do have the title, right? Yes. OK, yes. It's it's all legal. OK, yeah.  You know, and the whole time she was like, I don't understand why you got this deal. That's awesome. Yeah, I know. So I was like, because they can give you good deals. That's the thing. It's like they're capable of doing it. They just don't want to, you know. So you got a haggle. Yeah, so I need you to get my next car. Haggle and maybe a little winky winks. You know, yeah, winky winks help. We wait. So if I just started winking at the at the car down next to Tom, you're in the market. Start winking. Yeah. It doesn't ever seem to work for me. Well, you got to wink better. Yeah, I need to get better winking. I need to take some wink lessons, apparently. I did not wink at anyone. That's not something that I did. But, you know, it's sort of like you can give it to me for a thousand dollars, right? Yeah, I have this car for free. Yeah. Wink, wink, wink. No, it's, it's, it's, it's lovely and Otis is already like whoops. He's got a really nice car that would fit Otis is what happened. It was the only thing really that I thought about the entire time. It's, will Otis like this? Is Otis kind of like this car? Does this a color that Otis would like? Have you not even been in the car yet? Yeah. I put the back seats down already and so it's like he's got like a whole like bed back there and he's just sort of like, whoa, this is so cool. That's awesome. Because he was kind of, he was kind of shoved in the back of my old car. It was, it was, it was a tight fit for a little Odie. He's not a tiny dog. He's not, no, 75 pounds. So. All right. Well, I, I actually talked about this on It's a Thing this week. Eileen is probably going to get the next car, which means I'll just get her car. So that will be a nine-year upgrade for me, though, even if I get her old car because I'm driving a 2002 Prius right now. I'm very excited just about that. But yeah, you have to talk to Eileen about some winks. How that works. Eileen and I working. Yeah, I know. I, um, I didn't totally plan for this to happen yesterday, but it did. But it did. That's the best way. Yeah. You know what I even did? And this is so silly.   And I was just like, so happy. Like, oh.  When you get a new car, you want to do something like that, right? Yeah, you want to drive around. Yeah, totally. Yeah.  And the first time I did, I know that other cars do this, but I've just never been in a car. We're certainly not in the driver's seat where the steering wheels, just, you know, and the dealership guy was just like, no, don't touch it. Don't let it do its thing. You're not supposed to touch it. That's the point. You know, I'm like, this is crazy. I don't touch it. I don't want it to do that. Yeah. So a lot of fun. A lot of fun. All right. Let's go into our questions now. Cleveland Climber, AKA Chris, AKA Cleak Climber, says, I enjoy GDI, Good Day Internet, but I was wondering about what would happen before and after a show if GDI wasn't there. Specifically, I understand all the hosts getting together before showtime to make sure that everyone is ready to start, but is it usual for hosts to hang around 20 minutes or so after a recording like you do on GDI? Also, have Sarah live with it for a Honda Fit? I think he wrote this before you announced your Volvo. And then, Oh, yeah. Just throw him at me. I'll drive all the cars. He immediately wrote, I retract my live within suggestion. He must have heard that. Yeah. So honestly, Good Day Internet grew naturally out of us just talking before and after the show. Before the show used to be a little more of the nuts and bolts of preparation. I think we pay more attention to having fun conversations now that we call it Good Day Internet. But the after show stuff, I mean, sometimes we'll stop recording Good Day Internet and keep talking for another 15 minutes. Like it just it just depends on the day. Yeah. Yeah. It became something where the conversation, while it doesn't have, you know, any real structure on our end, became something where it's like there was enough of a cadence where it it was a show of itself. Because it's also stuff like we're talking about food or travel or, you know, stuff that's just our personal lives aren't going to get into the 30 minute DTNS. It's just, you know, that's not what DTNS is. So kind of, I don't know, expanded it in a nice, fun, casual way, I hope. It started in the pre and post show as just the AlphaGeek radio and YouTube stream. Then I began recording it in the early days and started just putting it up as full DTNS on the Patreon. And then eventually we just gave it a name. So it's sort of the natural outgrowth. I mean, this may go beyond what you were actually asking, but the other things you might want to know is we talk a lot in Slack about what we're going to put in the lineup. We meet about an hour before the show in Discord now and talk to each other, like kind of just run through the lineup to prepare. So there are other preparation elements going in. I feel like Good Day Internet is just us loosening up, you know, just like getting ready. Yeah. Yeah, it's like voice exercises before the Star Spangled Banner. It's the Do Re Mi Fa Fa La Ti Fa Go of Technators. That's right. Yeah. Everybody loose. All right. It's 130 Pacific. Let's do this. Do a deer, a female deer. Ray, my dog. Okay. BioCal asks in the Slack, think you covered this in the past, but what percentage of income comes from ads versus Patreon? Feel free to be vague or not answer. Just curious if it's like 10% or closer to 50-50. It has historically been 98% from Patreon as a cast has been running longer. That's going down a couple of percentages to I think more like 91, 92% Patreon, but it is definitely more than 90% of our income coming from Patreon. I haven't done an exact calculation lately, but that is definitely still the case. Teaglass1976 says, since you, Tom, he wrote Farrah. I saw. I know. At first I was like, Farrah, that's your new one. That's a weird type of, oh, because I was. Oh, okay. Glass.  Well, we did that at our last couple quarterly hangouts, in fact. Yeah. And we will do that again at our quarterly hangout. There is a friend of mine. I'll just call him Buston, who was telling me in Austin recently that he felt the same way that we should be in the same room more often. Well, I certainly I would like to be in the same room as Roger and Tom. I mean, if it was easy, it would be every day. We're kind of spread out. So it would be It's certainly not not easy to do that. No, it's not impossible. Let's assume we found an office.  But just for the hypothetical, let's say, we found an office that is equidistant. So all of us are driving the exact same amount to get to this place and record together.  And one of the positive qualities of life of doing the show the way we do it is the fact that we don't not have to get on the road. There's that our commute that we just don't. Also, even though we all have home studios, you know, of various kind of configurations, if Tom and Roger were to come to my studio, it's perfect for me. There's, you know, there's plenty of room, but it's like, well, now we have gear issues and how are we all going to get the inputs into, you know, it's like, if we all of our setups are like specifically for a solo thing. I can do audio guests easy in my in my studio here. I would have to do a lot of work to figure out how to do video live here. Not that it couldn't be done. It could totally be done. It's just not what it's set up for either. Exactly. Yeah, I probably have because I got a couple of cameras that I don't use for our show. But yeah, it would be, it would be, I'd have to tear the room apart and get real creative. I do love that idea. And I'm not saying never. But there's a few other considerations we have to think about. I mean, Roger, one of the benefits of Roger having this job instead of some other job that would pay him better is that he can just be at home with the kids. And by that, I mean dropping them off and picking them up at the various schools and doctor's appointments. Right, but I know that's an advantage. Oh, no, it's huge. Yeah, you're at an office somewhere. It's like, I can't do nothing. I look at the baby monitor and shrug like, I'm too far. Get yourself to the doctor kid. Don't make you stronger. I was young. Biocow asks Tom in the market, what are you getting? That would be for the car. I am not getting anything. Does Eileen have her eye on something? The one that Eileen is currently, and this is far, we haven't even test driven or anything like that. But the one that she is smitten with right now is the Mercedes A-Class, which is new in the United States and has like the fancy Mercedes voice recognition and the big touchscreen and all of that sort of stuff. Yeah, it's nice. It's also expensive.   If we learn, no.  And yeah, no, it's not my money. It's Eileen's money. So she gets to spend it however she wants. But you get to hand me down a car. Exactly. I get what's left over. That's what I get. I would say that maybe we can learn some winking. It'll help. Toe tap and winking. Chad B had a tip. I know you saw this already, Sarah, for the left ear bud of your Jabra. Put it back in the case. Pull it back out to reconnect. I am going to try that as soon as we're done here, in fact, because I'm going to take a little walk around the lake with my dog. And hopefully it'll mess up so that I can try that. Because yeah, if that's an easier solution than me repairing my Bluetooth device every time this happens, which again is never more than once a week, and that's using it multiple times a day. So it's not that big of a problem. But it's consistently annoying. So I'll try it. Thank you. Thank you for the tip. Yeah, of course. Anybody else have tips? Send them all. Send them all away. And over in the IRC chat, W. Scottus1 wants to know, have you thought about doing an updated how you prepare for DTNS, because the most current one is before Sarah joined the team? Yeah, I don't even live in that house anymore. I got different equipment. We have a different procedure in some ways than we did back then. So yeah, I will do that. I can't commit to when, but I will do another like, this is how I prepare. The last one I did was on Snapchat. I just did Snaps, and then put them all together and then downloaded the video and put it up on YouTube. So I may or may not do it that same way again, but I'll do something where I show the new studio and the new methods and all of that. All right. I'm going to put some links in the Discord. If anybody is a patron and is hooked up in the Discord at the advisor or the master level or even the analyst level, you can now find a link to join our hangout. We'll stay on for a few minutes to see if anybody joins. If nobody does, we'll just wrap it up. But you should know, if you don't, that we will always announce these a few days ahead of time on Patreon. So keep an eye on that. And then when we do them, if you're at the analyst, advisor, or master level, you'll get this link towards the end where you can jump on and be part of the hangout if you like. We've had a few people do it here and there. I think it's been a couple quarters since them, but always fun to see folks join. It's like a little roulette wheel. Who will join? What do y'all have set for the rest of your days? I am going to the local transformers convention. Really? That is not what I expected anyone to say. No, me either. That's pretty great. It's literally at the airport hotel. Hotel by the airport? Yeah, yeah. Well, a lot of conferences are open. Or the interstate's one of those. Are you planning on picking up any collectibles? No, I'm just curious to know what's going on in there. Yeah. I have expect a bunch of middle-aged guys straight into plastic plates. Yeah, I think you've got the best. Well, I haven't heard from Amos and Sarah, but I certainly have better plans than I have. Roger Wins. Yeah, I was there. I noticed and I had to go across town somewhat early this morning to get my haircut. So we did an early walk, a brisk early walk, but it is warm today. It's in the mid-80s, and it's not even noon. Well, actually, okay, it's exactly noon. That's why I'm in a t-shirt. Yeah, I know. I'm not just because I'm inside and it's nice and shady, but I thought we'd take a little walk and get some vitamin D. Yeah, I'll do that with Ray and Sawyer too. I'm going to go get some lunch with Eileen right after this. Yeah, I don't have a whole lot of plans. Amos is our intern. I know I mentioned that already, but this is pretty awesome. You're an official for real intern that we had to fill out paperwork for, and everything is great. Right, yeah. I had to apply to the Air Force to get me to be here and stuff. So my plans for the day, I am hopefully going to do a fresh install of Windows to troubleshoot a driver issue that has been plaguing me for a couple of weeks. So yes, Roger wins. Yeah, I've been there, man. That's the worst. Luckily, I have a spare hard drive. I can just throw it on there and try things out without actually overwriting my current install setup. But yeah, that's my plans. And maybe play some board games with the family later on tonight. Ooh, my wife would love that. I generally don't like board games unless there's enough people to make it interesting work. So for me, the fun of the board game isn't the game. It's everything. It's the activity that goes around the game. Right, it's either the gossip. It's the pizza you buy. It's complaining about your family life or something. The community aspect of it, less about the game. And if there's not enough people, you don't get that feeling. We've been on a Exploding Kittens tear lately. It seems kind of... That's the game. There are no actual incendiary... Yeah. Yeah, it's fun. And we have the NSSRB version and the Clean version. And we kind of mix the two. And it's a good time. Oh, really? Well, we have such a large family. We need the extra Exploding Kittens cards. From the other deck. So, but yeah, that's my plans for the day because I'm tired of driver issues. Yeah, I hear you. Well, listen, I think we're going to wrap it up there. We will have another one of these in the summer in June. We will probably be putting out our mid-year survey by then. So keep an eye out for that. It's always helpful to hear what folks are thinking. Our December one was extremely helpful in figuring out a few things. And they've been always helpful over the years. We are also going to, probably on the next quarterly update, I'll be able to say, hey, we're thinking about spending some of our money on this or that project, more serious than Omaha or Paris. So hopefully we'll have some actual options to kind of float out there for people. But if you're like, hey, this would be cool. I'd like you to do this. I'd like you to do that. Feedback at DailyTechNewShow.com is always there for you. Thanks, everybody, for supporting us. And don't forget Patreon.com slash DTNS. If you are like, hey, I just stumbled across this, but I would like to join all those awesome people that are asking questions and being members. You can do that at Patreon.com slash DTNS. We'll talk to you Monday. Bye, everybody. Bye.


I'm in the studio and I'm very excited because we're going to be discussing a beautiful program that we have here in Yolo County called Empower Yolo and we're going to share with you a fundraiser that is being done by the Davis Rebecca Lodge in order to support all the good works that Empower Yolo does for our community. And I have with me today the director of the organization called, oh I'm sorry Cameron, Cameron Hanley, I have it highlighted, there it is, Victim Service Division and Multidisciplinary Interview Center. So I want to say thank you for joining us today and sharing with us one of the new pilot projects that Empower Yolo is doing and partnering with Yolo County. So could you share with us a little bit about what Yolo, Empower Yolo does for our community? Well Empower Yolo does a wide variety of things for our community. Originally we had two organizations in our community that provided a ton of resources for families. We had the Center for Families and we had Empower Yolo. They recently merged so that they share the same property and they're also under the same umbrella. And then with this pilot program, I don't know if you want me to start there what we're doing with the, so I'm the director of Yolo County's Multidisciplinary Interview Center which is kind of a one-stop shop for victims of child abuse and their families to come to one place for everything, the same intake process, the same lobby, the same staff. They come for the forensic interviews that are used in criminal cases. They also come for the child welfare interviews. It's the same interview. They come for therapy, support, advocacy, outreach and anytime they have to meet with any professionals involved in the case, they come to that same familiar place that they came to originally. The whole idea is to not cause families and children to have to navigate through multiple different systems when all of those systems need the same information to do their job and also to provide a safe and comfortable and healing place. And we also have a support dog, Daisy, generously shared with us by her human Lori Rainier a longtime Davis resident. So anyways, the FVCPP which stands for Family Violence Coordination Pilot Project is something that Yolo County is doing in partnership with Empower Yolo. And it's kind of, it's the same concept as the MDIC except on a much larger scale to serve all survivors of family violence and also to prevent family violence, hopefully by getting families the resources that they need before something gets dangerous. We serve adults, children, everybody. So how this is all connected is that the county is very interested in developing kind of a one stop, same thing, streamline, intake, safe place for families to come to. Because as service providers, I think we often make the mistake of while we have fantastic resources in the county, we assume that they are available realistically to the clients that we intend and the families we intend to serve.  They maybe have, you know, a two hour window of time to accomplish many competing priorities. And so the concept with these agencies is everybody coming together, the systems involved in the services to one place where families can go and get, you know, efficiently helped and get a multitude of needs met. So Empower Yolo was the obvious partner for the county because they already had on one side of their program, they had sexual assault and domestic violence services, counseling, legal help, restraining order clinics, therapy, children's therapy, advocacy. And then on the other side, same property, they had the Family Resource Center, Center for Families that provides house assistance with housing, food, clothing, tax preparation, Zumba classes, yoga classes, childcare, parenting, education, you name it, anything a family needs and the majority of the staff on both sides is Spanish, English, bilingual, which is great. So what we did is we, with the assistance of the county and a grant that the county got, we merged all of those programs existed on one property, but they had separate intake processes and separate lobbies and kind of operated separately, even though they're all under Empower Yolo's umbrella. So first thing we did is we did some remodeling and we merged all of those processes so that we have one intake. They have the same familiar person they see when they walk in the door, one lobby for all the clients. And then we added client navigators, which are kind of the glue that literally help navigate through the system and bring the necessary resources to families. They're greeted, they meet one on one privately in a private room with the navigators and they get their needs assessed based on their specific needs. There's not like a cookie cutter, you know, model for all people and that's kind of the whole concept and now what we're adding are county resources. So instead of having to then go to the county agencies to finalize or to get more services, you know, and a lot of people, they don't know what they're eligible for and they don't know often what they need. So that's the other part is having just one kind of simple form and then meeting one on one with a client navigator to kind of assess what you could benefit from, what your family could benefit from. And so we're adding the county resources, we're adding them to the same property, same location so they won't have to go to an additional place. So it's very exciting and I'm thrilled to be part of it. So the navigator that you're talking about, are they with Empower YOLO only or are they also a county employee because you're mixing them together and the navigator stays with the one family. So how many families does a navigator have typically during a time and are they both a county employee or a YOLO Empower YOLO? They're all Empower YOLO employees but we are using and grateful for a grant that the county got and applied for to help fund the program that started for it. Everybody is Empower YOLO employees and we currently have and we really kind of underestimated the need. We've been blown away. So we currently have about four client navigators doing that role. But we've had is many because we're because all the clients now come to the same lobby, you know, we've had 177 200 clients walk in a month or open Monday through Friday. So there's not specific hours where you have to just come for specific things anymore. We're just open and whoever walks in. So our client navigators, you know, it's not necessarily like they carry a caseload, but they they can meet with 10 15 families a day and then they continue to try to connect them. But then there's also a soft handoff, you know, once they get the services that they need and everything starts going, you know, then the client navigator can be available but kind of step out and work with other families. The really neat thing or good thing that we've seen is, you know, these are families that we already kind of already served in our community in various ways and also at Empower YOLO. But we're finding that 30% of them who have come for something else, for instance, clothing or assistance with housing or something like that or childcare are identifying now through this intake process and through the form they're they're identifying, oh, I do need to talk to someone about that or I am living in an unsafe environment. So we're actually capturing their need at a much earlier stage and we're better able to serve them, you know, by helping them identify what, you know, and so that's been a really valuable thing in the private meeting with the client navigator. That 30% of our folks that have come for other things are saying, I do need to talk about something and then we're able to start much earlier and hopefully before more dangerous things happen. Well, that seems to be a very powerful concept, having the one place to come and enter and be working with the navigator, because if you have multiple places that an individual has to go to, you become confused, you don't realize what you really need. So that is wonderful. So you mentioned some of the programs, they have yoga, did you say Tai Chi or Zumba? Tell us more about the benefits for individuals when they participate in these other activities and are they on site or are they off site? They're all on site. We're very inclusive. So anybody that wants to teach a class or do something, you know, in our community room and our community space is welcome. And the idea is awareness with that, you know, while those are healthy activities and stress reducers, also, you know, you may become, you may come for a Zumba class and you connect with other women, for instance, that maybe are going through similar things with you. You can walk across the hall and get information, get flyers, get counseling, make an appointment, you know, and so it's kind of exposing people to everything that's offered there. Or you also can get help with, you know, childcare referral or food closet referral or clothing, you know, and I think sometimes, even though everybody does a great job kind of a promoting way to do, I think people are also unaware when you're experiencing something, oh, sorry, you think it's, you know, only happening to you and it's scary and you don't want to tell anybody. And so I think there is kind of a lack of awareness when you're in crisis of what is truly available. So when you come to a community place like that and you meet other people, you get connected. And not all of our clients are survivors of family violence. That's the neat thing about the partnership with the Family Resource Center, Center for Families or the merger is they serve the whole community, you know, so they have all kinds of services that, and the wonderful thing about that is, you know, certain catchphrases or labels are kind of stigmatizing and alienating. And so we really do serve the whole community and are open to the whole community. And it's just wonderful and I want to share with you that you know about this that the Davis Rebecca Lodge is doing a fundraiser for Empower Yolo, which involves dance. It's our Bollywood fundraiser. And this year we've chosen your program to be the beneficiary of, and I just happen to have the most recent newspaper article here about the Bollywood event. And Mary Philip is going to be cooking the food, is be a traditional Indian food. People can do Bollywood. I'm sure they can do Zumba style Bollywood. But it's going to be a fun event to bring the community together to help your community, which helps the overall community. Yeah, so I'm hoping everyone will participate in the Bollywood, which reaches out to help your programs and to help our families in need. And when you mention, you may have a two hour window. We have to have your support people there so that individuals get the help that they need. And I want to thank you so much for coming today. Yeah. If individuals want more information about Empower Yolo, you can go to their website, which is EmpowerYolo.org. And you can learn more about the different programs that Empower Yolo offers. And it's a wonderful website to educate yourself on. And do you take volunteers? Absolutely. And this is a partnership with the district attorney's office, the county of Yolo and Empower Yolo. I'm actually an employee of the district attorney's office on loan. So great. Please volunteer. Please contact the agency. Go to the website. Yeah. And volunteer. And if you want more information about Bollywood, go to the davislodge.org. And you can get information about our Bollywood event, the Dancing on May 6th, from 7 to 11 with wonderful food and fabulous activities that will be going on to help raise awareness and help support your program. So again, I want to thank you for coming today and sharing it. And give us one last little, you mentioned Daisy. Tell us what kind of dog Daisy is that goes in and does therapy for. She's a lab border calling mix. And she's a wonderful member of our team. Once a child connects with her, she's with them from beginning all the way through court and through therapy. You know, a lot of times kids have been betrayed by humans they thought they could trust. And so Daisy, they can trust and she's a perfect companion. So wonderful. So thank you everyone to come coming today and listening to this wonderful speaker, Cameron Handley. And thank you for being here in the studio. And we'll see you at Bollywood, May 6th, 7 o'clock at the Davis Lodge in downtown Davis. Bye-bye.


the power trading hour with your host David White call now toll-free at 1-877-927-6648 or internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER> now David White and then like this says I need to buy nitro if you're in the control room grab something okay there it goes I wonder if I need to reboot everything's acting a bit weird hopefully that is live now okay as always it's always good for another excellent edition of the power trading hour where we come together at the appointed time and of course that didn't work either so what do we have here oh there it is I just couldn't hear it did we do it again let's do it again the following takes place between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. okay so we're back to that let's get back to this and we'll get on of course as we start the show some very interesting things we're down 103 on the S&P cash it is Friday but volume for a hundred point move on the S&P cash six point it where you haven't even hit six point five billion shares yet so there aren't a lot of people trading this you would think probably we'd end up with 15 billion shares today on hundred point move I'm I'm suspecting that we we've talked maybe about the last two or three weeks about the very high black cool numbers that it's the big guys on Wall Street doing a lot of the trading or much more of the trading that they have than they have in the past so is that why volumes even on huge days like this can't really get going much of anywhere you would think that if everybody was bailing today that there would be something much bigger in the way of volume so that's a little interesting of course a lot of people blaming Powell and the Fed this morning for the huge move now if you watched it because I was watching the speech on Bloomberg at the same time down the side they had the chances for a three-quarter percent interest rate hike and they would cycle between that and some other stuff and even the interest rates in Europe and what I thought was very interesting was that we kind of sold off a little bit then we kind of came back and then we took off real hard to the downside now in the liner notes on Bloomberg apparently Christine Lagarde had something to say it wasn't public but she was with some movers and shakers and we saw the chance of a ECB rate hike of three quarters of a percent go from about 20 percent to about 60 percent before the markets closed in Europe so I'm wondering if why Powell probably got the ball rolling was it a lot more about what Christine Lagarde said about interest rates in Europe was she hoping that he'd be a little bit more dovish so she could and of course then we saw pretty much now let me go ahead and get it up here let me see here okay we saw it a massive swing for the dollar in fact we're pretty much at the day high we got down to almost one ohs and what's called it one oh seven fifty two on the dollar index now that was just around a little after his presentation we've gone all the way back up and through the highs of days of a few days ago got up to one oh seven seventy five I think let me see here here one oh hell let me put it up here and to do okay one ohs yeah one oh seven what is that 108 775 for the high a day now we're not really backing off of that so are those things combined I probably should know a little bit more about what the ECB is doing haven't paid a lot of attention always kind of looked at it as the tail on the dog maybe the tail is wagging the dog these days but did pay a very close attention to Bloomberg's little you know they have a lot more stuff on the side than CNBC I don't tend to watch all the minutia of that stuff but they did have some crawls later talking about Christine Lagarde at the ECB making some comments right after the Powell's comments and we'll find out it well apparently they weren't public so they didn't publish I might try to Google them all I could find is that she did make some comments and at that point we started seeing a massive stampede for interest rate futures for the ECB so did she not present them correctly did Powell not telegraph her and you know you know maybe with some worse code tell her that well I'm gonna probably be some hawkish here maybe she thought she talked them out of it I mean there could be a lot of stuff going on out here but I'm just from the reaction I don't think you can say that it was the Fed alone and maybe there isn't as much coordination going on between the people on the other side of the pond and us as we think some I think so anyway you can give me a call today<PHONE_NUMBER> you can email me at path at tfnn.com and of course you could always put a message in the den which is all quiet right now on the western front so that's part of it we've got some other stuff one of the books I loved best as a kid and as an adult I still go back to them from time to time as the Sherlock Holmes I'm I'm not a fan of most of them I liked elementary I thought that was good TV show and well done wasn't a big fan of a lot of the Sherlock Holmes things really did like the Cumberbund what's his real name I always call him Cumberbund Cumberpatch the yeah I like the ones that the BBC did a few years ago I thought that they were excellent a little bit more stylized than probably one would think with the Sherlock Holmes but still done extremely well but one of the big things on there was a homage to the original book Hound of the Baskervilles I think it was in that about or was it the other one yeah I think it was that anyway the clue was that a dog barked at anybody he didn't know but someone came in and killed somebody the dog didn't bark so you can infer that someone that knew the person that was the one who did it that's kind of what we're looking for today is in it being in her we'll be back in a moment.

8-7-3-7-6-1-8 Skype issues at the moment but uh okay we are back have a few things going on here hopefully everything else is there here ah they did they moved it on me the dirty little rats let's see if that doesn't help everything and then we'll help move that that probably will help okay that makes a lot more sense they moved the settings between the microphone and the camera icon at the bottom of the screen nobody can leave stuff just well alone and software can they always out there playing with something anyway let's go ahead and do a little bit of history and we'll move on it is history repeating and on this day in 1991 Linus Torvalz he's up there in the fjords anyway he posts a message to the internet news group and says what we'd like to see the most in mimics which was kind of a the predecessor to kind of a Unix version that was kicking around at the time this is the first announcement that he's working on an operating system that one day will become Linux kind of named after him Linus and Linux I know a lot of people talk about using it of course it probably has 80% of the business of web servers out there now at one level or another red hat Linus Linux so it's become a huge thing of course it's part of the free software foundation and it basically exists because about 2500 loosely affiliated folks work on it and make it better and don't really charge for it there are companies like red hat which IBM bought and others that help support it and do additional work that maybe the people don't have the talent to do that are around it for free people ask me from time to time if I'd move my system to Linux and if there was software for trading on it I'd probably be more likely to do it it is a little less well tested mostly because people that use it tend to be on the high end of the spectrum for abilities in actually working with it they don't tend to be at the base level so there isn't a lot of what you would call beginner versions of it the one thing that I when I use it that bugs me to no end is that Linux or Unix is built to run with multiple people using the same computer at the same time so just about everything is limited for speed in some way or another especially when I have I do have a machine that's dedicated to it for some of this stuff I do but probably the most interesting thing is when I copy something to a thumb drive like right here on my machine it is lickety-split as fast as the USB thumb drive will work I can put something on that and because they want to share resources on the computer it may you know something that takes me 15 seconds on a thumb drive on my Windows machine or under Windows operating system may take four minutes or five minutes because literally everything is shared on a machine and they're just assuming there's going to be more people wanting to do more things so it is different and it works much better for something where you're sharing a one computer with a lot of folks like web services it doesn't work yeah could you get by yeah is Windows that expensive no but certainly when you run into problems there's less likely you're gonna find a a driver for particular hardware it's probably more likely that you're gonna have lose support for older hardware if someone didn't want to work on it for free you know kind of the same thing happens with Microsoft but to a lesser extent and everybody carps about that too but a pretty good thing is it a direct replacement for trading probably no it's a little tougher I know some people use max again a lot of the software that some traders use not available on those platforms but on this day in 1991 an alternate system based on a community doing it mostly all for free and occasionally some people like red hat coming in and doing some major fixes that other folks can't do just because of time or money or access to hardware so you get a little bit of everything out of it<PHONE_NUMBER> somebody says you developing a mission critical application Linux is the way not Windows well it certainly depends on what you're doing there are some mission critical stuff that blows up on Linux just the same now generally when you get a decent working copy of Linux you pretty much stick with it you don't want to update too much stuff because it has the same thing with Windows you get the wrong update and everything breaks so yeah is it more likely to work on something as a server it certainly is but access to software for most people at home like Word and Excel and a lot of those other things although you get that for free with a Linux it always has just a few things that you want to do that of course are only available on Windows and with Microsoft Office and you know is it that expensive no Windows Office now you can get for what 60 bucks a year for your whole family up to eight eight people I think that was a special this week that I saw so is it worth it it really depends on what you're working on and if you're talking about what I do which is mostly right software for myself always about ten times easier to write with Windows and Microsoft products if you're a small developer as you become a bigger developer and you've got thousands of programmers the cost of actually doing that is fairly expensive and why they trend to use free things like Linux and others anyway we'll come back in a minute we're keeping an eye on the volume and the movements of the market we'll get in get into some of the stocks that are up on a bad day and as we talked a little bit earlier the dog that didn't bark if you can have a horrible

of the hour and we still we're under 6.8 billion shares on the day so again we're getting some big whacks out here in the market but not that much when we look back at the actual indexes we've lost 4100 which is interesting no Walmart let me put it this way the volume isn't coming in any stronger as far as we can see or at least I can see historically the Dow now down about 750 has hits about 800 and over the last two or three years that's been a kind of a good gauge that you're washed out about as much as you can wash out a a market in one day down 109 in the s&p's Nasdaq's off 407 crude oil again market didn't look like it was ready for whatever happened and I'm looking at what at maybe if there's a little tit for tat maybe happening with the ECB maybe more work over the weekend gentle reminder that I'll be off and back on the 6th of September so I'll be off on vacation any newsletters and updates continue even though I will not be on the air sitting around watching a machine I'll be able to watch the market on my phone and do anything that I would regularly do for my subscribers just not on the air issues anyway gold down 22 on the day probably as I said interesting to see the movement for electronic arts and some of the other companies that are in the computer gaming space not the iPhone Android gaming they really that's kind of a strange business these big companies like EA who have budgets for a single title that are 250 or 350 million dollars much more profitable of course you buy a game for 50 or a hundred bucks by a movie ticket for 10 and of course so you can play hundreds and hundreds of hours on one of these games so kind of a good value a lot of people talking up electronic art since and the others in this space today and on a bad day where the market's getting pummeled we see electronic arts on a very good day we'll see what the actual numbers are okay it's up four and a half percent one thirty three forty four is the last dick I see and and at worst it was at one thirty two today high of one thirty five eighty four one thirty five eighty five so back up to the previous high gave a little bit of that back but still a fairly good day wanted to look at take two probably won't learn a great deal about individual stocks that are down today you may learn a little have a feeling you're going to learn a lot more about stocks that are higher and on this one not a huge day but again getting a little bump almost on all of these games now I think part of this is some articles over the last day and maybe even into today that talked about how video cards coming down mean that probably people in price and availability means that people may be buying those cards and buying expensive at least expensive for most people games those fifty to a hundred hundred and fifty dollar games I don't buy many I bought flight simulator the professional version for a hundred twenty bucks over the last year I bought U-boat which is a U-boat simulator I bought a tank simulator I think those fifty sixty bucks maybe I don't buy a lot I buy a lot that I can play a great deal and generally by myself I don't want to play a bunch of snot nose kids that are yelling each on each area at each other through the headsets but certainly not a bad day out here you do have a higher volume high in take two 137 43 and that may you know the the bad news for Nvidia and AMD may be the very good news for these companies in the coming months through Christmas if you just looked at the chart for AMD today probably wouldn't think a great deal about it not a great deal a day on this one already yesterday at 61 million shares right now you got about 46 so you're probably going to come up with the same amount of volume it's not bullish so to speak earlier in the day I was watching this and it had just a horrific amount of people that were short yeah there's EA to buy Amazon talking about buying EA I don't think that's going to pass the Federal Trade Commission we're one of the kids in the pro pro trade and war games well let me put it this way I never broke into any federal institutions that was kind of stupid but back then nobody really had security and there weren't real laws against it so a lot of people did spend a lot of time on other people's websites I was an expert on the phone companies system called the was a Cronus back in the day and yeah so you could do things like make free phone calls and stuff like that there wasn't a lot that you did you can even do back then to cause a huge amount of problems but making free phone calls was kind of the big thing back then you could modify a little phone dialer from Radio Shack for about a dollar to make the tones that made the tones that sounded like nickels dimes and quarters so you never really had to pay anymore there were those days but they didn't really do anything else youthful indiscretions as they like to say okay oh anyway we looked at those two anyway AMD is it a big day or blowout no like I said the volume tends to be very light both up and down let's take a look at Amazon real quick since they brought it up you're back in the gap actually this thing probably wants to come to about 127 that fill this gap higher with some decent volume so 149 million shares back on the 29th you're coming back into it today with 32 million shares so could you find some fairly good support about halfway into this gap down I think you can anyway we'll return in a minute sharpening your skills as an investor is like getting better at playing a musical

LLC this program is brought to you by Vista Gold traded on the NYSE American and TSX under the symbol VGZ as we turn the talking in the den about hacking phones and everything and I don't think a lot of people know that Steve Wozniak or Steve yeah Steve Wozniak of Apple fame and Steve Jobs both finance the building of their early computers by making little devices that were called blue boxes and black boxes for hacking phone calls for free and making long distance phone calls for free sold them to the mob and that's how they raised a lot of the early cash to actually start the company so you always you always have to look back into the into the past some people were a little bit iffy with their morals back at the starting of a lot of their companies I think Bill Gates actually his dad through a bunch of money at him so he didn't actually need the money as much but yeah Apple started by making devices to make free phone calls for the mob and I don't think Wozniak has denied it as much as he's occasionally brought it up himself over the years but yeah a lot of a lot of gray area there but yeah early in the day we have black boxes blue boxes every there were a bunch of different ways that you could hack different phone systems and it depended on where you lived in the country remember all the little bells that got split apart a lot of stuff out there but yeah in my time the thing was to take apart the Radio Shack dialer it was a little thing about the size of a pack of playing cards that had a little speaker in it that would just play tones and the idea was that you're supposed to put all your phone numbers in it and you could just hit a couple of buttons and it would dial all the long phone numbers if you were a salesman on the road or something like that well you could change it put in like two different resistors and a diode and solder it back up and for 10 or 12 bucks he had you had one that would work on most of the systems across the country and of course that was probably 1980-82ish I think when that came out from from Radio Shack and of course the Feds made Radio Shack quit selling it but everybody that knew what was going on went out and bought one right away in the hacker community but not a lot of people doing bad stuff the really bad guys figured out how to credit card early on and they spent most of their hacking activities stealing stuff at a very large scale<PHONE_NUMBER> so anyway looking at Apple here down these tend to be hurt a lot more but again we don't have blowout volume yet maybe that comes in before the end of the day Microsoft kind of an ugly candle out here today yesterday you had 16 and a half million shares today you only have about 11.6 so could you get 16 maybe if we get a bad enough clothes out here but my guess is we close at 4100 and get a 10-point bounce before the close as people probably come out of it there's some actual stocks that don't look too bad and I'm gonna buy one of them probably at the close we'll see how that turns out if it closes a if it gets to the close at a certain price I'll probably pick it up but now if you're probably looking to buy the indexes I don't see anything quite yet maybe Monday morning I got a question to take a look at a Vago Zach asked if I want to buy this thing crushed things with my tank now it's a video thing I don't know what that is anyway Vago well it's not quite Tim it's not quite railroad tracks but close enough for government work you'd like it to have been just a little bit higher on a Vago out here but again you want to have at least the same volume if not more than the day before it for what they call a tweezer top or railroad tracks and those are two candles that are just opposite either bullish on one day and bearish on the other and about the same price this one's just a little lower but you know a lot of these chart patterns you just kind of have to squint a little bit and take a look one of the things is you want to have at least the same volume on the second one if not more to confirm yeah yesterday had 1.7 million shares for a Vago today just 814,000 so far so again not good you're going into a weekend I think a lot of people are a little bit scared that they're not exactly sure what's going on as I said I've got one theory with that whole ECB thing but I haven't figured out exactly what else is going on okay okay take a quick look at the SMH is out here for Ron you went up on the 27th of July you did so on five million shares right now you're down on about 3.1 million shares you've got that gap so maybe you get into that gap on Monday morning and find some kind of low is this the end of the world kind of stuff no it's not uncommon to get a light volume week like we're going to come along and see everybody get short today and maybe even on Monday and then the market not move at all and everybody just has to kind of cover and you get a short squeeze into the Friday I'm kind of looking at that scenario for my plays next week but if you're trying to get me all into the world kind of stuff markets go higher markets go lower and I'll be right a certain amount of times and wrong a certain amount of times but the right now does the chart look horrible not to me now if we look at something on a much broader basis SMA let's talk about the SPY one of the reasons I didn't get active this morning was that the option market makers had a wide move in the spies from about 430 all the way to 400 and there wasn't a lot to say one way or the other going into it there weren't a lot of really good places to say hey this is where supports gonna come in there was something very minor support on both and resistance above higher and lower but they still really haven't focused or congealed on a number here late today so I'm gonna wait maybe we get it with the enclosed maybe it's Monday morning we'll see but not surprised to see very light volume week maybe turn in just some squeezes with as many people it is shorted today we'll be back in a minute Vista Gold owns and operates the largest undeveloped gold project in Australia the Mount Todd Gold project Vista Gold just completed their

the day on that one was 187 17 wouldn't be surprised to see it challenged on Monday maybe that is the end of it but you could see that maybe happening today too anyway you had 18 and a half million shares on that day you got 15 million shares today so you're probably gonna run 20 million shares by the end of day probably so you're gonna be a little bit more which means that you probably want to test that low of to to let's just go back a little bit better you kind of want to look at that low which is that candle of the 5th of August right yeah and see 18 and a half million shares so you don't want it to bust that but maybe you find I think maybe you find a little weakness Monday morning everybody comes back in and shorts the living daylights out of the market or a lot of individual stocks and then the market could just stop and those folks slowly get squeezed out before the end of the week but if you don't see a lot of volume come Monday morning probably telling you a little bit

The Director-General of Yahya Bello Presidential Campaign Organization, Hafsata Biola Costello, has expressed optimism that the Kogi State Governor would emerge as the presidential candidate of the all-progressive Congress during the May 29 primaries, Hafsata Biola, while submitting the nomination form for the Kogi State Governor at the International Conference Center in Abuja Express, confident that he would pick the ruling party's presidential ticket in the next few weeks. The DG specifically urged Nigerians to keep a date with Destiny on May 29.


There are learners. Today, I will take the Unit non-6 of the 2.semester philosophy that is logic 2, the unit name is formal proof of validity. రాడతి మువసిstarter నువా ను నిసి акку�ిినిాననువారానాతు,趣 వియ్యవిమి఍కిము Fortnite కిall! developers, in this unit, we will discuss the basic points. కార్ద్వళాటిలు Ρటన తోలితోటa, strategy for deduction. తృతత్ర్మఫిక్ రరిRay Rlaw న౻కల aseg�ర్౨మిక్ guaranteed తాఱలంనార Australia అసటిస్మాప్యాబడాతిష్లల అససంనిక మావలేబాదకాగిదాటాపే పత dietsదాకోచరేనంన doorway up భార్స వరంవార్త సియది మాయది ఆరిటి సివరంవి సివామారి సిమని బారిసి తరాయి సింవన సివాకసింటిటది. పరటర్లాటకా, ఆగెణింికాడాయి కంత్త్నీనికి, కరంత్త్ని ఆంత్త్మోన్, నెచారాాకి. త్ట్ణికి, మ్న్చెగ్ఏ, పబరికిట్నికిత్ట్లి. ప్రరి or what may be called the method of derivation by substitution. The method of deduction is applicable to those arguments which are valid. In this method, we simply construct a proof of their validity in order to construct a formal proof of their validity. We have to apply certain rules to the given premises and go on deducing consequences from them unless and until we get the original conclusion. Since in this method, we deduce conclusion from the original premises to get the original conclusion through the application of certain rules. Thereafter, this method is called the method of deduction. Dear learners, this deductive procedure is called formal because it relies on the valid argument forms to show as to how the conclusion can be deduced from the given set of premises. The valid argument forms are used as the logical rules to determine the consequences which can be validly inferred from the premises.  A formal proof of validity for a given argument may be defined to be a sequence of statements each of which is either a premise of that argument or follows from preceding statements by an elementary valid argument and such that the last statement in the sequence is the conclusion of the argument whose validity is being proved. This definition is taken from I am copy book is symbolic logic. Dear learners, a substitution instance of an elementary argument forms that is you see, so now I have to use blackboard for your comprehension. Now, dear learners, you see in the blackboard a substitution instance of an elementary argument forms. Now you see, dear learners, this is an elementary valid argument form because it is a substitution instance of the elementary valid form modus ponens. So, it results from p implies q, p therefore q, dear learners. Now, you see by substituting f implies g for p and negation h for negation i for q. Therefore, it is that form of that even through modus ponens is not the specific form of that given argument. So, now you see, dear learners, this is if we have to take p and q for h value negation i, then this is p for f implies negation g. So, the result will be q. So, this is a formula from p implies q, p therefore q. Now, you see, dear learners, what is the strategy for deduction? Now, we have to learn this. The formal proof of validity of an argument can be constructed easily. The strategy for deduction will be as follows. Number one, for constructing the validity of an argument formulated in ordinary language, the statements of the argument will be symbolized by using the capital letters of the alphabet to bring out the logical form of the argument. Number two, this proof of validity will be started by stating and listing the given premises of the argument in one column. Number three, all the premises and the statements deduced from them must be numbered serially and must be put in an on column and the conclusion must be separated from the premises and it must be written to the right of the last premise separated by a slanting line with the symbol therefore which automatically marks of all the statements above it to be premises. So, number D, the statements that are deduced from the original premises by the application of rules must be put along with the given premises with justifications written beside them. The justification premise, the statement from which and the rule by which the statement in question is deduced is the second step. The statements that are deduced from the original premises by the application of rules are to be taken as premises and a deduction must continue until we get the original conclusion. Now, dear learners, now we take an argument and see how the formal proof of validity of the argument can be constructed. There are two types of rules in derivation rules that is rules of inference and rules of replacements. Rules of inference and rules of replacements are the two sets of rules for derivation for deducing the conclusion. Rules of inference are nothing but some valid argument forms whose validity is established by two tables. So, these rules are used in constructing formal proof of validity too. The following rules are the rules of inference. So, dear learners, in rules of inference we find the rules like modus ponens, modus tollens, hypothetical syllogism, disjunctive syllogism, constructive dilemma, destructive dilemma, simplification and conjunction, addition and absorption. So, these rules of inference, dear learners, correspond to elementary argument forms, the validity of which is established easily by two tables. So, these rules also can be used to construct formal proof of validity for more complicated arguments. So, dear learners, we have seen, we have used blackboard in order to show how we have to draw the conclusion from the following pages. So, you see, in these complicated arguments, we have to use the rules of inference in order to draw the conclusion. So, you see, in case of complicated arguments, basically we use rules of inference in order to draw the validity of the arguments. So, dear learners, you have to know these ten rules of rules of inference. So, now derivation rules. Rules of inference are not regarded as sufficient for constructing the validity of many other arguments. So, additional rules are required in such cases. As it is known, here only true functional compound statements, that is concern us, hence if any part of a compound statement is replaced by any logical equivalent expression, to the part replaced the true value of the resulting statement is the same as that of the original statement. This is sometimes called the rules of replacement and sometimes the principle of externality. The rule of replacement is adopted as an additional principle of inference. So, dear learners, now you have to know some additional rules apart from the rules of inference. The rules of replacement consist only of logical equivalences. For example, one of rules of replacements is de Morgan's theorem, that is negation back at begin p dot q, that is, you see dear learners how rules of replacements are there. Now you see, we have to show the logical form of de Morgan's theorem. de Morgan's theorem. Now you see, the logical form of this rule is negation p dot q equivalence negation p val negation p. So, this is the rule of de Morgan's theorem of rules of replacements. That is, negation back at begin p dot q back at true is equivalence to negation p val negation q. So, dear learners, we can infer one from other since they are logically equivalent. Therefore, negation p dot q is equivalent to negation p val negation q. Now, you have to know also the rules of replacements. So, in rules of replacements we find the rules like de Morgan's theorem commutation association distribution double negation transposition material implication material equivalence exportation tautology. So, these are the rules of replacements. So, in case of deducing conclusion in formal proof of validity dear learners, you have to know both the rules that is rules of inference and rules of replacements. So, each of these rules discuss in rules of inference and rules of inference stated as equivalences only in cases of rules of replacement. That is, we use basically the same line that is equivalencing as the main connective. This indicates that we can infer the left hand side of the equivalent from the right hand side and finds versa. So, dear learners so this is all about the unit formal proof of validity. So, the basic points discussed in this unit are the method of deduction is a method of establishing the validity of arguments. The truth table method is inconvenient for testing the validity of arguments containing a large number of statements. So, a more convenient method for testing the validity of arguments is the method of deduction or what may be called the method of derivation by substitution. So, rules of inference and rules of replacement are the two sets of rules for derivation. By means of these rules like rules of inference and rules of replacement we can know what can be validity infer from a certain kind of premises. Dear learners, rules of inference work in one direction these are modus ponen, modus tollens, hypothetical syllogism, disjunctive syllogism, constructive dilemma, destructive dilemma, simplification, conjunction and addition. So, rules of inference are not sufficient, dear learners for proving the validity of many other arguments. Therefore, rules of replacements are required as additional principles in such cases. Dear learners, rules of replacements are you have to know that these rules are D. Morgan's theorem, commutation, association, distribution, double negation, transposition, material implication, material equivalence, exportation and tautology. Now, dear learners, rules of replacement is indicated by the symbol like equivalence. So, these are the basic points and dear learners, in order to know the concept like formal proof of validity in a comprehensive way you have to study these following books. These books are logic informal, written by Sandasa Kraborty and Armin Kopi that is a book is symbolic logic and Kohenan Kopi that is a book introduction to logic and handbook of logic written by Munji Arsi Munsi and in order to know the basic rules of inference and rules of replacements other basic concept of logic you have to read a book like modern logic written by Sandasa Kraborty hope dear learners you have to know about what is formal proof of deduction or what is formal proof of validity or derivation rules in this unit and you have to know also how to deduce the valid argument using these two types of rules like rules of inference and rules of replacement thank you dear learners
