Right, okay, thank you for joining the Average Golf once again, still out here in Tenor Reef and still doing some product testing this Ping G410 range. This time is the crossover. I've got the three crossover in my hands right now. I'm about to tee off with it very shortly. But before I do that, let's just talk about how it looks and I'll throw some images up on screen now. The one thing Ping have done with the crossover, it is considerably smaller in terms of its overall profile than the previous model that is. They've thinned out the top liner lower. It's still got a fair bit of bulk that you'd expect and the overall mass of the club is on the larger side in terms of driving irons but for a lot of people that will no doubt inspire confidence and encourage you to use this type of club. I've got the CBL to stiff shaft in it but before I say too much and try and hit this thing let's get back over to the UK and get a very brief tech spec on this crossover and what Ping have packed into this head. Right, we're going to make this very very brief indeed and you can soon get back out in the sun and whilst I'm on that why is he out there in the sun and I'm stuck here in the cold but anyway that's a different story. Very very brief of what's happened to the Ping crossover in terms of technology. First of all the head size compared to the previous model is considerably smaller. The next thing they have done they have put a 30 gram tungsten weight in the toe of this which basically it extends the the weight in the perimeter weight in and once again helps and increases MOI so I'm sure the average golfer is going to be keen on that out there in tenor reef. Internal rib structure which you can see from this diagram I show it in front now it's very similar strengthens the sort of the whole body I suppose the whole structure and once again getting ball speeds very fast across that whole face. That's it that's what's happening in the Ping crossover in terms of technology but we need to go back and see how it performs out there on the course at Obama. So that's my opinion now it looks that's the tech specs from Ping all we need now is some shots so what I'm gonna do is take you straight up to the driving range and here's some shots I started off with earlier this morning when getting warmed up with the Ping crossover. Into the crossover review what do I think so far it's just played last ball off the turf so from a fairly decent lie it's it's not the highest of launching in the current setup I definitely think that they're again CB Ulter stiff shaft and to me they just seem a little bit stiffer than last years and I'd love to know if that's the case because I'm just struggling a little bit to get that clubhead through and I feel I'd like to try these in a regular shaft for me because like I said I'm not getting the greatest of launch angle it is a it is a three iron but the previous models of the crossover were very high launching and I'm not quite getting that at the moment. Right three tee shots there all with the crossover very very similar in terms of ball flight they actually I got a bit more launch angle than I've just suggested I was hitting at the lower ball five they actually popped up a bit and three are very very similar in where they landed but not in terms of dispersion front to back there was a big difference and strike three almost went in the water I didn't realize that was as close as it was but strike three you can see in the distance here's the first two balls not sure which was which I think shot one was further right shot two is here not a great deal between all of those but to be fair I would suggest looking back at the yardage where I've just tased all in around that sort of 200 yard mark I would think it's a handy club to have from a tee I like playing this kind of thing I like the driving iron yet again for me and I've been negative about this hole but I have to be honest about it is that I just don't know no response in the hands in terms of feel for me it's a very hard almost tinny sound again and it's been a negative for me throughout this 410 range it's the same with the crossover three decent shots I couldn't tell you the difference between either either of them in terms of what you normally get out the hands so you would think the pure strike the longest ball you'd get that sweet feeling out the sweet spot didn't feel any different to the other two to be quite honest with you so that's the downside for me still on these 410 crossovers right so final summary at the pin crossover I will very briefly throw up some numbers here for you for dry ball data you have a look through them they're pretty much as I'd expect them to be I didn't again strike it perfectly well inside at four golf when I tested this so I've got a much better opinion I think from what I've done out here on the course to be quite honest with you and I'd suppose a mixed reviews where I'd say it performed well out here but the little things that I have issue with which is like I said the sound and feel perhaps would put me off it the profile is smaller than the original crossover I would try a different shaft for me on a personal level so yeah it's kind of I'm a bit I'm would I gain it I suppose is the answer the answer is no I think for me there are far better driving ions that I've found out there currently that I would prefer to gain I suppose that's how I put the summary in the most honest way as I can put it over to you but having said all that it's performed well and the important thing is as I always say get out there and try it yourself because my opinion is almost irrelevant really it should start just one man's opinion so get out there give it a go yourself stick comments down below thanks for watching and as I end most of these vlogs this week is I'm gonna have a pint


and welcome back to the Windy City. We are here in Chicago on day one of KubeCon, CloudNativeCon, CNCF's largest event here in North America, and I am thrilled to be joined today both by some fantastic guests from Red Hat, but also with my co-host, Rob. How are you doing? Pretty good. How are you doing? Good. I feel like this next conversation we're about to have is maybe one of your favorite conversations and one of the ones you're most excited about at the show. It happens to be one of my favorite projects that's going on here under the CNCF, so I'm very excited about this because I think the energy around this project in particular is just really great and I think getting into the fact that BackstageCon was yesterday and really the just amount of people, I think there's 2,000 different developers now active in that community. Wow, it's awesome. So very, very excited about this next. Yeah, well I guess we should probably let the audience run in on the conversation. Please welcome our fabulous guest, Balaji and Ignacio, so nice to meet you. Thank you for being here with us today. Thank you so much for inviting. Since not all of us had the chance to be at BackstageCon, what happened yesterday, Balaji? Yeah, it was great that a number of people in the audience, one of the biggest from I guess one of those co-located events, I don't know the room was like, rooms with like 1,000 people or something, right? I mean, it's probably like 700, 800 people there which is really great. Coming from last year, it was almost double, you know, from last year, it's really great. Wow. Yeah, it's really cool. Snaps to that. Yeah, and then we had a great number of end users talking about it, Expedia, Comcast, you know, different people talking about how they're using Backstage, so it's a lot of good energy there. And you were doing a keynote there as well, right? Absolutely. And was that part of the keynote, or what did you have to say in the keynote? Yeah, so my keynote was about, I wanted to share how Red Hat is contributing to the growth of Backstage. You know, I was actually preparing for it. I didn't realize Red Hat contributed to one million projects in the open source projects. Wow. One million? Just want to make sure the audience used that. Yeah, it's one million. One million open source projects. That's a milestone. Red Hat is like, lives and breath open source ethos.  So Backstage is what you were talking about. So I talked about like, what are we contributing to help adoption of Backstage and enterprises? That's what we are a core competency is, and that's how I talked about it. Did you get a feeling that there was a lot of new developers or new users in the room that were really, if we look back to in Amsterdam, KUKON and CloudNativeCon, it was about 50% new users, new to Kubernetes. What's the feeling you've gotten? I'm not asking for exact numbers, obviously. Yeah, I mean, I definitely say 50% is probably like, you know, sort of the earlier part of adoption of looking into going, you know, using Backstage for their developer productivity, you know, gaining, yeah, yeah, that's good. That's exciting. So Balaji, you mentioned that there were double the people in the room that were there last year. Ignacio, why do you think that's happening? Well, cause of all this wonderful growth. Well, think about it. I mean, you need to put two things together. One is the developer productivity. That is a hot topic. Right now, we have one number that is 76% of developers struggle with the cognitive load. That is, there are 76% of developers struggle with cognitive load. With cognitive load, my gosh, aren't we all talking a little bit about the load? Yeah, basically, if you think about it, when you join a company, and we were talking, Spotify was talking about this, one of the critical challenges that they have is a developer joins their company and they don't know how to be productive. There are so much documentation, so many templates, so many things that they need to learn about what are the right tools, the right people to connect. So that was their challenge about 2016. Then they start working on how we are going to improve this situation for our developers to make our developers more productive. And that's why they start with backstage. Then three years later, they say, this is a good idea, not only for us, but it's a great idea also for other developers in other companies. So they start thinking, why we don't put this in a public project? And then, from there, 2022, that was accepted, and now we are where we are. But if you think about it, the challenge is the same for all the companies. That is, there are too many tools, too much documentation in order to get productive, so that's why- Too much noise. And things are getting more and more complicated. So things are not getting easier. Things are getting more complicated. So how do you solve that challenge? And think about another element that is, you have the developers, but also you have the people creating the platform for those developers. So the people developing those platforms are the critical people, we call it the developers-developer, that is- Not out of you to say. Yeah, because who are those people that are going to make it easier of the life of the developers in order to become that productivity? The platform engineers, basically. They build a platform. Yeah. The developers-developer. I love it. And so critical. So why? I mean, I feel like productivity has always been a conversation, but the developer productivity conversation is super hot right now. Is that because of the complexity of the tools? Why now? Well, I think that developer productivity has always been a topic. I remember when some years ago they were telling me about the 10X developer. So those developers that were super unique, they were super productive, nobody knows exactly what they were doing. Those hotshots, yeah. Yeah, and if you think about it, those were unicorns in that sense. And the idea is, okay, how do we expand that? Because if we miss that developer, if that developer changes the company, a lot of knowledge just get out. Have we ensured that that knowledge remains in the company? Have we ensured that we don't have 10X developers, but we create a platform that allows our developers to become 10X? That's the big change, the big shift in the company. And just for those folks who might not be as aware of Backstage, it's really how do you bring together all of the tool chains that a developer is using in a portal and kind of put guardrails around it for that company, right? Yeah, maybe you can explain a bit what is Backstage, its tools, its documentation, its templates. Another element that the companies are really looking into is how we create those templates that are going to be applicable. Think about compliance is also another critical element. Because every- Not sexy, but critical. Yeah, but it's critical. Yeah, absolutely. If you think about it. Developers cannot start from scratch and do whatever they want. They need to ensure that any source that they use is secure, they are using the right sources. So, that is the role of the developers-developer. That is how we ensure that developers are compliance and we ensure that they use the secure tools. In order to create their applications, all the background that is needed is already there. Go for it. I was going to say, the Backstage as you know, it's still early. If you look at the Backstage con yesterday, I mean, you know that there are a lot more people interested, the problem is a big problem to solve. To his point, everybody has this problem. Now, the solving it is how do you solve it as a holy grail? And Backstage definitely is the right project to leading it, but they're still in the early phases. So, just to give you an idea of what Red Hat is contributing to Backstage to even get to the production. Our back, which is sort of like the normal thing, does not exist out of the box in Backstage. So, everybody can access everything, which is not that the enterprise would take it. And if you have to create an R-Back, it requires coding to create an R-Back plugin and then maintain it for enterprise. That's not scalable. So, what we did on yesterday was we had open sourcing an R-Back plugin, which basically allows you to have a way to define roles and sign groups and policies all through UI or configuration files. That's the one big thing to help adoption. Other thing we talk about. Is that doing it through Federation as well so that I can use a third-party provider and that may have where I design the rules and stuff like that or? Yeah, so basically, you know, we connect to all the traditional auth providers, right, to be able to get the groups and everything else. And then the rules are basically, you know, today you are essentially able to create it in-house, but also you can definitely pull in from the extra sources. The other big thing that we think is sort of like you're contributing that helps sort of adoption was around, you know, the ability to add new plugins. If you know the plugins is how you connect to the different tools that you're talking about. So adding a plugin that requires code change, rebuild and redeploy today. And that's another, like, no, no, for a large enterprise. Hey, I have a new developer coming in. I want to use a new tool. One of those tools from the QBCon here. Well, wait, wait, we got to do some code changes to make it happen. No, that's not going to work. So what we are contributing is another thing that's called dynamic plugins that allows you to do one-click adding of new plugins. So that's another big thing. And the last point I want to make on this thing is that we added about 10 to 12 plugins last six months, which is again expanding the ecosystem of plugins. Without the plugin, the backseat is just a shell. Right, at the end of the day, developers want to integrate with their tools to be productive. If you got to integrate the tool, it's, well, I'm not going to use the tool at all. So we added about 10 to 12 plugins. We want to do more. We're also working with the ISV ecosystem here to let them create more plugins for backstage. And hopefully with all of that, it's a multi-year journey if you may, right? We are here, great success, but we have a lot more to do. And that's what we're doing. Red Hat is sort of really putting our contributions here. It seems like a lot of yesterday was about simplifying the experience from zero to getting up and running in like five steps versus 70 steps or something like that. I can't remember what exact numbers were. Yeah, 70 steps or three steps or something. Yeah, it's something like that. I like that. That's a good reduction. I'll take that. And also there was a discussion about the marketplace that, and Spotify, who was one of the founders of this and kind of came out of their dev shop, right? But they're opening up a marketplace. And I think you guys are actually contributing into that as well. I can speak to that. Spotify is creating a marketplace called Spotify Marketplace to have these plugins. And we are partners there. We are putting our plugins in there as well. One of the ideas I was talking about is that the community, Spotify Marketplace is their marketplace, but we want to also have a community marketplace where the plugins are validated. Right now, anybody can add a plugin to Backstage, which is no provenance, no security check. You don't know whether it's going to be maintained, whether it's going to be updated next time. It's going to break next time you use it. So it's a big problem for enterprises to say, I want to use this plugin. Like, who wrote it? Somebody, one single person wrote it two years ago. You forgot about it. So that's a big problem. So what I was sort of asking the community to work around is that, hey, let's create a self-service validation process. So everybody knows you're getting a secure plugin. We also work with ISP partners to make sure that it's validated and maintained. Like there's some sort of compatibility or release or release. Because these are the problems. Large company adopts it. They have 10 plugins. Nothing is maintained. It's breaking. Dollar per cent, this is no different from what I have already. So it's still, I think, like I said, it's the early innings of Backstage and this thing. But we'll get there. It totally makes sense. And I think what's exciting about it is bringing the developers to a central place to be able to see that and be able to then go to the next step and actually get to coding faster. And I think that's a big piece of it as well. It's everyone's shared goal here, really, across the board. I think we all want to make more cool stuff quicker with ease and reduce that cognitive load. Speaking of, and speaking of education, we've got a little book here you wanted to share a little bit about, correct? Yeah, this is, yeah. We create this, I mean, part of what we do is we try to create the content that is needed in order to convince the companies why an internet developer platform. It's a term called IDP that is becoming more and more relevant why you need to build an internal developer platform, why this is important for you as a company. So we deliver this book, that is developer portals, explaining why this is important, explaining how do you build it, why a template is important, what are the basic concepts that you need to incorporate, the role of the developer, the platform engineer. So we create this book. We offer this book for free. Here is the QR code that we offer to all our customers yesterday. And we launched it here at KubeCon yesterday. I love this. So everyone can just scan away and- Yeah, scan, go to the booths, and yeah. And we have a PDF, it's available for free. So we'll be more not happy to have people- We're doing a shameless little talk right here. I love it, I love it, I love it. I will gladly be the spokesperson for your educational tools any time, free of charge. This is really exciting.  You're probably getting to meet a lot of your community for the first time. Balaji, I'm going to start with you. What's the most exciting part of this week for you? I mean, you know, to see the energy of everybody interested in backstage and developer tools, developer productivity in general, it's great. And I lead the developer productivity, developer tools product management team. And so we have a lot of tools besides backstage. You know, we have apartment desktop, we have other tools there to help developer become more productive. So I'm really excited about the energy that people have. I think the keynote today, as you said, they're talking about developer productivity. And I'm really excited that what I'm doing is affecting the world. So it's great. What a wonderful thing. What a great way to sum that all up. What a nice feeling. What I'm doing is affecting the world. Yes, it is. In a positive way. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, very much. What about you, Ignacio? For me, the most important is, as you know, Red Hat has been always a company very focused on the IT, on the platform engineers, some OpenShift, Rail. We are moving that into a more developer-friendly company, giving and creating tools, like what Bellagio is creating, convincing developers why some tools like Pullman Desktop or others are how they can use those new tools, contributing into the open source projects. So we are moving Red Hat not only to become that platform company that has been always being there, but to become a more developer-friendly company and how developers can benefit of that. So we are very excited about communicating and explaining all of that in our booth. I love that. Lots of reasons to be excited. I have one final lightning round question for you because you mentioned that contributor story, the Spotify story. Who's on your Spotify wrapped, Bellagio? Who's on my what? Your Spotify wrapped. It's almost that time of year. There's going to be some embarrassing musicians. There's going to be some exciting ones. Anything you want to share? I was surprised yesterday because of Spotify. I was like, this is a music company. I mean, and they are contributing into open source and you see the engineers like, wow, you are really thinking beyond what is your core business. That if you think about it, it's music. So they have an incredible team of developers just going into the stage and talking about, no, no, no, no, we contribute to the CNCF. I mean, they didn't really talk about the music. They talk about the technology that allows and power everyone to use that music. So that is exciting to be some customers doing that. To answer your question, I like techno. So I like, yeah, I'm here for it. I want to swore on the queue. I saved myself right there. Very down for the techno. Nice. Who's your favorite DJ right now?  Oh, nice. Oh, great choice. He's losing it all the time. That's all right. Say your soundtrack. Rob, you got any confessions about your Spotify rap to your playlist right now? It would be King's Father Christmas is soon up after Thanksgiving, so. All right, we're already into the carols. There we go. Fantastic. Well, on that note, have yourself a merry little afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Ignacio Balaji. Rob, thank you so much for being here on this exciting segment. This was a lot of fun. I can't wait to see how the rest of the week goes for y'all. My name is Savannah Peterson. We are here in Chicago at CubeCon. Thank you all for tuning in to the leading source for high tech coverage, The Cube. Thank you.


Hello, everybody. This is Sriram from GeneXcom. Glad to be part of Magma Day. This is really good because of our interest in Magma. So thank you for having us. I'm the president of GeneXcom, Inc. And today I'll be speaking about enabling enterprise cellular mesh networking and the emphasis on cellular mesh, so 4G, 5G mesh solutions for the enterprise using a combination of our technology and Magma. So let me quickly introduce what we do and talk about how we can combine what Magma has done in terms of a control user plane separated core with a mesh radio access network, mesh ran to produce a unique mesh network overall in hardware and software. So what do we do? We enable secured and private mesh 4G and 5G networks. So what GeneXcom does in nutshell is to enable a private network in a box that is integrated. The network is much more scalable overall, not just better, but faster and more resilient using a mesh network. This is an in-band cellular mesh. So unlike what you might think, this is not an out-of-band, different frequency, different time. This is the same band, specifically if you want to think of it as band 48 or CBRS or N78 as a case maybe. You can do a band 48 mesh network using this technology. And by meshing it means true meshing. That means you can go multi-hop. You can go multiple nodes or talk to each other in a true mesh network fashion in cellular 4G, 5G with a combination of what Magma has achieved and what we can do with our ran solution at GeneXcom. You can combine that with all the virtualized software, not just in terms of Magma, but also in terms of overall EIBS network management, EIBS self-organizing network or SON to produce an overall URLC EMBB solution for networking. Our overall main goal here is to enable 5G networks so anybody can go about enabling one. It can be handyman installed or ultimately grandma installed as the case may be. So what's unique about this platform? You have to GeneXcom, a very unique factor is the patented interference-canceling meshing solution, which includes open-run, small cells, and what I call IAB, an integrated access and backhaul nodes. So on the hardware side, you have a unique interference-free meshing capability with open-run architecture where you can integrate SEMs and enable overall roaming on a dual E-SEM-based system. And the software side, essentially by combining Magma-based control plane, user plane separated architecture, you can enable the core to live as close to the hardware as possible while enabling the overall network to be self-organizing and be managed using machine learning. Such a network has the lowest reliable latency as well as low guaranteed latency as well as the highest reliability because of its mesh architecture and also has the lowest total cost of ownership. What has GeneXcom achieved with our technology? We've enabled interference-cancelation based meshing. We have multiple contracts. I've developed a project product in 2019, two years ago, and now we are delivering more products across industry 4.0 segments. Today, we're working across five states deploying our mesh technology. So to learn more about GeneXcom, please visit us. These are our investors. At genexcom.com, you can also reach me at my first name, which is Shriram at genexcominc.com. And that's our company, LinkedIn. Looking forward to talking more with you and to talking about solar meshing together. Thank you.


And don't forget weighing both money back guarantee this car who's idea ps2 key dice I can kind of see your eyes half of sale that's preem someone needs a new spleen and baby shiny And books are just it wasn't his time don't touch that radio. Is this game worth it? Does that answer your question


Good morning, everyone. Good morning, everyone. This is a call-and-response kind of stage on the main stage here at SoCAP 2018. My name is Ashara Aikundayo. I have the honor of being able to hold space with you and just steward a few of the conversations this morning and the next collective of thinkers and lovers that are coming out to spend a few minutes with you are very dear to me. I know that the conversation is framed around refugees, robots, and our dire need for regeneration. And this idea is that we're all in this together and so that you've made a decision to be here with us, not as robots, but as living, breathing entities committed to the well-being of our collective harmony on this planet is part of what the next conversation is about. Dacher Keltner is a lover, author, professor, advisor, and director of the Berkeley Social Interaction Lab. He is also the faculty director of the Berkeley Good Science Center at the University of California Berkeley. As you all might imagine, we have a lot of deep conversations and thinkers that share space and hold space for the next generation, this new now generation in academia. There's a installation out front. You all walked by it on your way into this building and the question there is, what do you love and hope to never lose to climate change? And when I asked Dacher what his answer to that was, he hopes to never lose the trees and the sierras. And so I want to invite you all to stop and take a moment in reflection to think about that and to engage in that art installation that people have presented for us this morning. So he's going to be joining us on the stage. I ask you to welcome him as he comes out to take a seat to sit with his colleagues, Mr. Dacher Keltner. Thank you. Yes, you all should welcome him. This sister I'm going to invite out. I met maybe 13 years ago in Denver, Colorado when I was a fellow with an organization called Green For All, which was founded by this cat named Van Jones. You might have heard of him and we were at the Bali conference and this charismatic leader was there and I was so excited to meet her. Her name is Michelle Long. Today she is joining Socap as the co-founder of Jubilee, an investment platform for building beautiful portfolios that are catalytic and healing the earth, that are for equity and healing between people, and that build a ballast for the needs to make these changes happen. She is full of so much joy and she is a partner that I think is really setting the tone for in the ways in which we can collaborate our spiritual needs and well-being with our economic needs and well-being. Please welcome Michelle Long this morning. Daily Good, Smile Cards and Karma Kitchen are only a few of the projects birthed from the mind and heart of this full-time volunteer. Nipun Mehta is the founder of Service Space, an incubator of projects that work at the intersection of the gift economy, technology and volunteerism. This is a lover that I have been watching for many many years and I know you all might be thrown when you call someone a lover, but I'm really aware of our connection to each other and the bottom line being one that has to be focused and sharing in a level of abundance around love and what we can and do and will and shall give to each other and gift to each other. So please welcome our brother Nipun Mehta here to the stage, Socat, and we allow them to just get get ready and get into the juice of how we're going to move forward in this day and age. Blessings to you all. Thank you. Hello. Oh, yes. Good morning. Hi. Good morning. Well, it looks like we have a cozy little group. Does this sound okay? Is it a little loud? If someone can turn it down just a little bit and now I'm talking and getting used to the microphone. I think somebody's working on it. So you guys are really lucky because we're having a sort of intimate conversation with these two. As Bo was just sharing with us all, he has worked in investing in building companies for a long time and now is that a place where he recognizes the biggest point of leverage is deepening into his own humanity and working with others to do the same. And there's nobody better in the world to have this conversation to talk about how to do that. And if we actually can, then the two friends that I have here, these are two of my favorite people on the planet. And I'd love to start with a question for Dacker. We've been hearing some this week about companies who've said the leaders of companies locally, some tech companies who've said things like why do I have to give anything back? I haven't taken anything. You know, a very individualistic kind of view of the world. And then I was talking to somebody recently who was telling me about an interview that they did with some indigenous leaders somewhere else on this planet and they were talking to this person about how do you guys save money, like save for your future? And it was some back-and-forth like what do you mean saving? Finally, there was an understanding and he said well, I suppose that if I save, I save in the belly of my brother. I provide him meat today and he provides me meat tomorrow. And so that fundamentally different world view and my question is which are we? Are we competitive really by nature or are we cooperative by nature? Yeah, I mean I you know at UC Berkeley and then online with a bunch of online classes through edX I teach the science of happiness and I know Bo talked about happiness and we worry a lot about you know, frankly the underperformance of the United States how we've had a lot of expansive wealth and haven't seen commensurate rises in happiness and I think one of the fundamental reasons for that is what Michelle was talking about and what Nippun has devoted his career to which is that when you take a step back and you look at our default basic nature or default tendencies What you find is first of all around the world people will share about 40% of a resource and this is in really rigorous Studies, this is seen now in young kids 18 months old That we are we have evolved to share And you have to ask the question to do life context. Do we share enough in that particular? to sort of express that tendency the second thing that's really important and and I think that this has not only happiness implications but health implications is there's a new Science of the neurophysiology of what it means to form community to connect to other people to share resources and the very straightforward Answers are when we share and when we give and when we form communities and support and cooperate Reward circuits in the brain are activated the very same circuits that are activated when we eat chocolate or win money or get a massage Those circuits then influence the stress response and activate parts of the nervous system. I study so what we find is this neurophysiology and behavioral data that says our one of our basic Instincts is to share and promote the welfare of others and Individualism and capitalism have have misled us in in that effort in many ways I Love I love so much Dacker because he he is the sort of science that backs up what? Mini spiritual traditions tell us what pockets of different cultures around the world tell us that we we are fundamentally good We are fundamentally connected and He he was the one of the I don't know if you're the first or the You're you're sort of the guy who they're a lot of for a long time people studied what makes us sad what makes us depressed but nobody was studying what makes us well what makes us happy and This is Dacker's specialty. What is fundamental well-being for all humans? What is our common humanity and as research shows our common humanity is interconnectedness? It's the feeling of compassion with each other the feeling of empathy and connection with each other when we feel On reverence is part of something that's bigger. We feel deeply well, and so I'm deeply grateful for you and your science And I have a question for you napoon. It is Okay, we got a lot of big challenges right now.  Yeah, so How do we think about the spending time on This kind of cultivating our hearts and inner work is do we do we have time for that? Don't we have to get on the big challenges? Yeah, I mean you were talking about first of all. I'm very happy to be here Yes, Michelle is loved by both of us and Dacker usually I'm quoting Dacker, but now I'm sitting next to him So I don't have to go to miss But you were talking about indigenous cultures, and I think one of the things You know, there's this seventh generation rule like how is every decision going to affect? You know seven generations down the road and what we've seen over time is just this sort of collapse of from seven generations To probably seven days to seven hours to seven minutes maybe seven seconds, right? Our attention span is just shrinking and shrinking and shrinking so what we're doing is looking for very quick immediate feedback loops and What that does is it binds us into? Direct reciprocity direct reciprocity is transaction, right? I do this you do this for me And so how do we start to and of course if you're hungry or if you have an immediate need there is a relief That is required, but with the relief you have to also Have on your solution spectrum a cure and I think a lot of these cures are gonna take a long time Yeah, and we have to individually like inner transformation isn't just gonna happen overnight But also a lot of these solutions externally collectively Societally are also going to take a long time because it actually took a long time to erode trust for example And it's gonna take a long time to build it back up And if we're just looking for a short quick immediate feedback loops or direct reciprocity, I gave you this what am I getting in return right now? Versus I give you this that's gonna create a ripple effect and over time what goes around will come around Which was sort of the basis of the indigenous wisdom, but how do we? How do we tap into that and I think that's a mindset and that requires a huge shift So yes, we have urgent fires. We have to address them. You have to provide relief But that can't be the only thing we do you have to couple that with these much larger expansive In new cycles of indirect reciprocity and I think that's not just a thing that we do on the outside It requires an orientation on the inside to actually be able to hold such a large such a large field I Reminds me of the this woman lady Balfour she was in England and she considers her the mother of this newest wave of organic food and a long time ago. She said The yes, sure you could have like an organic label or you could have rules and regulations about what it should be But really nothing beats the mindset of the farmer If the if the farmer loves the land they will continue to innovate and so more than anything It is that mindset. I know we've all spent time in Bhutan and met with the Dr. Karma Ura and the people who've created the GNH framework and I was talking to a researcher from Australia who is studying gross national happiness Compared to corporate social responsibility How what would be the difference what if a company was to pursue a GNH approach rather than sort of a typical CSR approach What would be different and she said well first? The the product would have to be fundamentally and inherently of value. You know, you wouldn't sort of have Coca-Cola with a diverse board of directors. It would actually be a product that we really need in the world and then to You'd have to look at how much is enough for the owners that created that company how much is enough and Then you'd have to think what would we do with the rest any surplus that was created to benefit the most But the key she said what is is Where are you inside because if you if you haven't done that sort of inner work? You may think how much is enough? Well, all of it is how much is enough? So it's all about the mindset. Do we see that we're part and I We've been talking a lot about technology this week and I'm wondering I mean are there what's the is technology a blessing or a curse to Help us to get to this mindset I mean some people are talking about virtual reality could help us to build empathy and sometimes I think well Why don't we just actually talk to our neighbor, you know, but I wonder what you guys think about technology solutions around these ideas Well, we both thought a lot about it. I'm an engineer by trade, but you you were at Facebook Doing a lot of this work Maybe your thoughts first yeah, I did a lot of Consulting at Facebook and Google just trying to make those spaces to moderate success more compassionate and I know it elicits laughter these days, but Yeah, I think that I think I think we have I Think technology I think in terms of what it does to the human mind I think a lot of the big patterns of data of what it means to be on screens a magic average American It's on a screen nine hours a day. I think it's gonna it's not the end of the world It's not gonna destroy the human mind But we haven't figured out how to kind of let it bring out the better side to human nature And then I think that they're gonna be Ways in which it's going to solve critical problems like how do you get? People who are under resource to our national parks three hundred a million people visit the national parks a year Technology will be a solution and and I really think where and what I'm worried about in the current debates right now is Data actually has a lot of positive uses to it Data the etymology of data is things that are given and so if we can rethink How we can use our data for example for healthcare uses I think they're gonna be a lot of great innovations But right now I I'm with Michelle I think that I think our focus if we're really interested in rebuilding community Which Nippun has been devoted to and Michelle in heroic work. It's got to be Face-to-face and it's got to be these original systems of connection that have to be promoted Yeah, and I think if I'm not mistaken You were the person that got Facebook to go from likes to like the whole range of emoticons that took three years of that work that's Hundreds of pages of writing. That's right. We're not just binary. Yeah, we have multiple I know But yeah, I mean, I think this is you know, I'm a product of the Silicon Valley in so many ways I was an engineer and initially you had like the internet and oh my god This peer-to-peer system and then all of a sudden now net neutrality is not even you know is in question You had the search engines and now you see Google just you know super dominating all aspects of our lives I could before even plan a trip to Italy I've got ad words saying we learn Italian in nine days and they know that I'm leaving in nine days So there's a lot of question marks around all of these social networks Initially, wow, you know India and Pakistan can have friends across borders. Yeah, then we realized wow This is like way too cheap, you know and now with AI we're having these issues Yesterday I was with you know, the man who was a CEO of Lycos which sold for 17 billion dollars and and has you know, what in a way allowed Google to emerge and He was sharing this remarkable research. They asked young people if you had to give up one of these three things What would you give up your cell phone your internet access or your sense of taste? Wow, and 72% chose sense of taste And for a lot of people that kind of data is like oh, this is a growth opportunity to go in that direction But there's a huge question marks. Yeah, and if you think deeply about it, it's actually initially there I had the same kind of response, right? But if you think deeply about it if you grow up in this kind of an era What do you care more for than your sense of taste even is your sense of connection? Yeah, and the only connection that we have given exposure to systemically societally to the young ones is Through your phone and your internet access. That's all they know So they we long for this connection But the kinds of connection that the kinds of designs we have created allow for very Cheap sort of loose superficial connections and those are good. I mean they're still strengthened loose ties But that has to be coupled with the deep ties and we as a society have not figured out how to leverage technology for some of this So how do we you know? We have on one side the internet of life on the other side We have the internet of things both of those can coexist and they do in many ways But I think the question is what is leading what yeah, and if we keep the ratio of Personal growth with technological growth in balance right now. It's completely out of whack And if it's out of whack, we're we're gonna have the internet of things leading the internet of life And then we're gonna have things like hey, I'm so stressed out by all this data What should I do download a mindfulness app? Yeah, as opposed to just putting this phone on the side, right? And that's that's sort of symptomatic of this world But what does it take to have the internet of life? lead the internet of things and I think one very key distinction that emerges from that Shift is that necessity it used to be that necessity was a mother of invention now invention is the mother of necessity Right iPhone comes out with this new thing and I need I need it because you know because it's come out And so this is a kind of skewed world that we're living in And I think it starts to beg these questions of really the ratio of technical growth engineering growth Yeah, sort of innovation and personal growth and how do you keep those in balance? So yeah, please yeah, but I just want you know one of the things that that I mean I still am optimistic about big data I hope you all will pay attention to Raj Chetty at Harvard the economist just has this big data release of How to think about neighborhoods? Nipun travels the world building strong neighborhoods He is a as has Michelle in their career. Here is technology producing data That's visualized where I think we now know as investors Where to go if you want the biggest bang for your buck is to find particular streets on Neighborhoods where we know through data and technology. This is where we'll really make a difference, right? And this is where our money is wasted. So I'm really optimistic about those kinds of Innovations to guide us. Yeah, so thank you So you but you're saying that deep ties are the what really makes us deeply well It's really who we are. So do you have today? We're living Dakar. You mentioned the We're out of whack of our fundamental nature of cooperation in part due to this capitalistic structure that we're part of Yeah, and Charles Eisenstein are all of our friends that said once something about it'd be Impossible to talk about evolution of ourselves without also addressing money because it's so fundamental To to our to us right now. We're sort of woven up with it So how do we move from a transactional economy toward what's being called for a deeper longing? Do you have steps or ideas? Yeah, I Definitely have ideas And and experiments I mean I try to live into them I The one of the shifts we talked about in service space is a shift from transaction to trust So for example karma kitchen is an experiment where you walk into a restaurant and your bill re-zero Your check is zero because someone before you paid for you And you are trusted to pay forward for people after you and they studied it at UC Berkeley And they said would this work because this is so antithetical to the entire Economics framework that we're fundamentally selfish and we aim to maximize self-interest and we're and we're rational, right? And we're neither one of those And so what does it mean to give people insight into these ideas? And I think the road from transaction to trust goes through relationships That trust cannot actually be manufactured it has to emerge in this field of multi-dimensional relationships Transactional transactions become very one-dimensional. I do this you get you do this for me, right? How do you move from that to multi-dimensional relationships?  It's it's a multi-dimensional relationship. We are embedded We're capable of that and we're embedded in many of these multi-dimensional relationships So how do we create those kinds of communities? That allow for that and I think in that kind of a field will have amazing fruits of pro-social behavior like You know so many things you have studied compassion all gratitude But also things like trust and so I think we really have to learn to move into a more relational way of engaging And that begs the question of who do I have to be to hold people and their journeys? Yeah in in a non-transactional way Yeah, and I would I would I would really encourage our audience members if you haven't already to read a Book about social infrastructure by Eric Klein and Berg got his PhD at UC Berkeley now at NYU and He really feels that the central problem facing the United States in this social space is to create Social places where we build the trust and the relationships that gives rise to Collaboration and cooperation and all these physiological processes that benefits benefit us Eric Klein and Berg. So for example They're like the public library or the park or the pickup basketball court or the barber shop Are these old social contexts that aren't on our radar screen as places of innovation? Yeah, but they turn out to be the foundation of human health Right, and so we want to start to sort of move from the mind to What are the facets of social communities that are healthy when I travel in Mexico? Which is I think my favorite country in the world I was born there you go to a Zocalo in any town in Mexico and it has so much deep wisdom and healthcare and innovation that we're trying to use technology to recreate and we should be thinking about the physical spaces that that Nippun travels the world creating that that allow for these sides to human nature Our mutual friend Otto Sharma at MIT in the Presencing Institute Talks about how we're coming to the end of an era of maximum me Quite obviously the we've maximized we've maxed that one out and what's trying to be born is not so clear But it is something that is about expanding our intellect from our head to our hearts About the evolution from an ecosystem awareness that that sees the world from how do I make decisions that benefit me to one? That makes decisions from what benefits us including me from an ecosystem awareness to an ecosystem awareness Do you have examples either of you or both of you hopefully? Around examples in business or in finance or people have actively aimed to cultivate that heart Cognition the ability to see from we and then how did that manifest in a different kind of way of doing business or with money? Yeah, what a what a terrific question I love on this. I love my anybody read Michael Paulin's book how to change your mind amazing and in the spirit of Nippun he said the spirituality is The is the counterpoint to egotism and self-interest that if we want to find our spiritual connection to the world or the big We the big sense of self. It's moving away from narrow self-interest as Nippun has been arguing. I you know I'm I'm really interested in our investment in green spaces and There are is a ton of incredible science Japan and South Korea have led this in South Korea. They treat forests as Medical settings where you can heal physically. We know that it's good for the nervous system You know and the immune system to be out in nature. We know public parks help inner-city kids And and that is one of these things that we have invested modestly in and it has these huge We benefits and health benefits and reductions in the the Social ills that we worry about And it's again. It's something that seems intuitive, but has has a big Influence on in terms of getting good returns from our investment Yeah, I agree and I actually think Dakar's work has been a sign a sort of ray of Incredible hope, you know, nobody's compassion like how do you design for compassion? Yeah I mean these are questions that people don't ask, you know, how do you does it? What is the role of gratitude in my business? What is awe and you know, what what is the neuro science of goosebumps? We've all felt goosebumps and there's zero science on it and Dakar comes along and says wait a second, you know Let's actually study this and incorporate a lot of this So I think that's a big ray of hope actually and at a very practical level. I think I would say that what's inspired me most is Spaces and people who are in control of their Minds because I think that's fundamental. That's sort of the ground in which all these virtues arise so Birju one of our common friends He had this incredible story of his boss saying he was on Wall Street running this venture capital fund and And his boss says we've had a great year. What do you want? And these guys are like billing every three minutes and he says what I want is a minute of silence and You know, his boss doesn't understand it and then ultimately he kind of gives in and he says okay. Yeah, sure But that idea of learning how to honor that inner quiet Is really fundamental and I think it is from that space that we start and that minute turned to two minutes to three minutes To five minutes to 30 minutes once a week. They've even got their own bell, you know And and so that's great. Yeah, right like that kind of a thing I think is he gives to me a lot of hope And and I think these are the kinds of solutions. We heard some of what bow was talking about. Yeah exploring real freedom You know, I think I think these are things that To me seem like great experiments and and once you do that then so many different things emerge I've seen I saw I mean, there's so many examples in so many spaces I think in Louisville the police force is being measured by their compassion. Is that right in their arrests? and There's so much more in schools with social and emotional learning and Dacker of course is leading several Kaiser Novartis other healthcare companies on empathy with medical doctors But in business and finance, you know, if we don't do it there But I did one example that I heard from an investor that I really loved was With investments he made he would also place on top of those investments a generosity warrant So he would give additional capital to the entrepreneur To cultivate who they were as leaders of the company So he wasn't only interested in the products they made but who they were to meet a changing world Will they meet it with compassion? Will they meet it with empathy and these generosity warrants were meant to cultivate that kind of those qualities within their team so one company for instance got received this generosity warrant and They didn't quite know what to do with it But they decided to take some of this money and try little experiments like Buying a meal for somebody at the next table at the restaurant and you know as a group of People of this company and not quite knowing. Well, okay. We just did it. Let's record what happens And they found how much better they felt how much lighter they felt how much more free they felt and eventually from those kinds of Experiments they they recognize that they were a manufacturing company that the guys on the floor didn't have health care benefits They had health care benefits car allowances Cell phone allowances and on and on and on they decided to cut some of their own allowances and get health care for the factory floor and And they felt good, but then fascinating there was a big storm a hurricane that came and This factory was sort of put out of business, but they were the first ones back up They were the first ones back up because everybody that was there felt a part of the company and felt This was their company and so it actually ended up being successful for the company even though it was actually about their own Evolution to tenderness with each other So we only have a minute left unfortunately So my work with a jubilee partners with partners Don Schaefer and Dave Haynes Condom Mason Jed Emerson Mary and Moore we are interested in investing in the spiritual ballast the ballast for our soul Going forward in this changing world so that we can stay human Any big acupuncture points any leverage points? Where would you invest for that future with 30 seconds Dakar take it away? Well, I think the central problem one of two central problems in the United States is inequality and so I would think about investing in ways that You know lift up and and we now have the data to do that and to do it assertively Oh, I got 15 seconds. I would say that we ultimately design who we are so we really got to start looking inside And I think we need to start to think about capital from just Financial wealth to multiple forms of wealth. We need to start to think about motivation from just extrinsic motivation To really intrinsic motivation I think if we do that and we design who we are will create new patterns and we'll be happier as Dakar's found And so this is a path to not only solving complex crises The ability to see from we not only me but the path to our joy and we have a lot of joy. So we've got it Thank you so much. Thank you guys


So go CD. How many of you are aware of go continuous delivery the platform for it's a and Jenkins Yeah, more people. Thank God. So go CD is just like Jenkins, but a little bit more and I'm going to tell you about some of the best practices some of them will apply to Jenkins also, but Most of them are for go CD. Oh Yeah, and my friend Ali did a workshop here like two days back So, yeah, another thing I forgot is I'm a seven curve from ThoughtWorks. I hope you So, yeah use scripts so using What I mean by using scripts is basically you need you should not write all the commands in your Build tool in your CI tool right in Jenkins, right? A lot of people have seen like they write five seven eight or even more commands because when you use script, right? You can reuse the code like you can reuse those scripts. You can test them You can write tests for them and then track the changes also so if somebody breaks it you can just get a good blame and beat that guy probably and Try rake for this we we tried rake for this in our project and it has been really great for us like you just run rake tasks and And Another thing if you are using bascripts, you need to have that set minus e and set minus x set minus e will basically break the script Whenever some error happens and set minus x will print everything all the commands so config.xml so this is So you need to back it up continuously because it is everything for go CD well almost And go maintains a git repository for itself In the go server You just need to add a post-commit hook so that every time go commits So whenever you change something from UI it made makes a change into that config xml and commits it You just need to have a post-commit hook and push it somewhere. That is safe So artifacts artifacts are these things which your builds produce like when you run tests when you compile your code, right?  So you need to keep it safe. They are they're very precious But they're precious only till you need them like they have been deployed to production and then they have been rolled out of production for years You don't need them So go has this option called never clean up artifacts for some pipelines, but it can be dangerous because The way go cleans up space so when go maintains the history of artifacts, right? It says it has this option like when this space is less than X start deleting till you have XGB free so Let's say you marked a lot of builds never clean up artifact and there are a few builds which are Which which don't have this thing marked you basically end up go leaving no choice But deleting all artifacts of those builds so sorry even those artifacts whose Like which were built like a second ago and they just get deleted so This is another reason why you should have a separate disk for where live go artifacts This is the location where artifacts are stored in on go server so if let's say so in where log right if if you have a bad program which is Creating a lot of logs that might also end up telling go to delete artifacts And you don't want your recent artifacts to be deleted. So it's generally like I would suggest to use a separate disk or a partition I think is templatize so go gives you a very good feature called templating So your builds right they can be template they can be made into a template and those templates can be parameterized to create pipelines so yeah when you When you see your prod deployment and staging deployment they differ by only a few parameters like a chef environment name or a few IP addresses Or it can be like where to pick the artifact from what artifact to deploy right so You can just create a template and have these things as parameters when you create the pipeline you give those parameters and you have Like you have one one build So another thing is the similar thing applies for building multiple projects So you have like five repositories all of them build it's a scala code you you just you know You need to do scala compile and scala test and scala SBT. Sorry SBT make rpm and it all does the all of them would do the same thing. So why not have a Why not have a same Template and just different repositories So basically saying no to duplication and when you when you want to change something Give me one second one minute when you want to change something you thank yourself one day Yeah, and Fan in so parallelize everything give me just one one minute. I'm really sorry So fan in is very brilliant feature that if you have a source code and you have two builds and then accept a test Then you want to package it So basically this package will wait until both of them have been finished So basically you are running multiple tests parallely on different agents. So you are getting lesser build time or jobs are also an alternative But jobs so all these jobs will wait for the next job to run So the palliation happen can happen at only one level here, but these are also Good things and when you get lesser build time you have more team happiness and more team happy They would praise you like God's So note the trigger policy this is the last thing promise So when you so re-triggers happen when like cucumber test they have put some weight and all and it fails I have seen a lot of people just re-trigger the build three times four times maybe it passes sometimes and This is very bad because some smart guy one said once a window in the building is broken and left an Unrepair the building starts to go downhill Rapidly, so if you have these unmentend things and people have this habit of re-triggering re-triggering, right? this thing grows and As I promised this was last. Thank you
