Welcome back to SuperCloud 3, where we explore the security challenges faced by developers, CISOs, SecOps pros, and specifically related to building a common cloud experience across all of states. And we're also digging into the impact of AI and addressing these issues. With me now is Manoj Nair, who the Chief Product Officer at Sneak. Manoj, good to see you again, back on theCUBE. Hey, Dave, it's always a pleasure to be here. All right, let's get into it. And when you think about how cloud has impacted security, it's like the cloud has become this first line of defense, if you will. And that's great because you got, you know, probably better security than you maybe had on-prem, at least for most customers. But you also now have multiple shared responsibility models. You got different experiences across cloud. So the CISO and the SecOps teams are asking developers to build security into code and design in security from the start. So how do you see these fundamental trends shaping and impacting customers today? Dave, you said it, you know, it's both a opportunity and a risk, right? When you think about cloud, cloud is code, essentially. It's APIs and you use infrastructure as code and the whole thing is built with software. So it's not your typical infrastructure. So that's part of the opportunity that if you really think about an application, it's no longer just what you package and you toss it over a wall, you can make that whole continuum, something that a developer can automate and make it part of the work that they do. So this whole shift to DevOps, which kind of are pretty much way into it, but DevSecOps and putting security right in the middle and security all the way from the concept of creating the thing to the deployment and the continuous security of that. And that's the shift that we believe is still happening. A lot of folks are trying to get a good handle on that. And that's, you know, part of, you know, how a company like us was created to enable that developer security, right? The developer cloud, but security trusted. So you got to make it easy. Devs have a lot to do. And part of the goal here to make that vision a reality is how do you make it easy and make it a culture change? Really focusing on automation and fixing as you go, rather than the traditional finding after the fact, which, you know, I feel I spent a lot of time in the security industry and still a lot of security is really about auditing and finding after the fact, here's an opportunity to just do it right and do it continuously and make sure it's, but that's really the shift that we think we're right in the middle of. So thank you for that. Now, given the increased complexity, which cloud, well, in many cases, it simplifies things, but also sometimes has the reverse effect. So you got these cloud environments and you got all these different services that are offered by different cloud providers. How does Sneak specifically adapt its tools to cater to this sort of heterogeneous environment? In other words, how does your technology align with the super cloud concept? And does it help to simplify the security management for devs across multiple clouds specifically? It's a great question, Dave. You know, if you treat each cloud, you know, separately after the fact, you know, post deployment is one of the words we use, then it has to end up becoming bespoke and you can try and abstract it as much as you can, but you're trying to secure the configuration of all the controls in the cloud plus your application in each of those clouds. Now, one of the things that you get an advantage by starting earlier in the software development life cycle is to try and make that security built-in part happen sooner and sooner. So you think about most code today, 70 to 90% of code based on different research that we've seen is open source code. So we start, you know, look at that and say, can I secure the choices being made by the developer? And then can I continuously make sure that that open source code choices that are being made? And it's a very deep dependency problem because it's not just the open source you're using, it's what are the other open source developers that you're using use and then so on and so forth. But that's completely, you know, independent of cloud. Then you look at your own first-party code and that's, you know, a big part of, again, get the fundamentals right and do it as you're building that code, educate developers about security and help fix those issues before they even show up. And then you think about the container packaging off that, like that can be a lot of code, you know, even with cloud-native services there are different kinds of container infrastructure but still packaging that's almost a standard there. What are the different layers of that container packages and images and, you know, the best practices that enterprises have now started building there. And then finally, infrastructure as code is what's used for deploying and there's a way to check whether you're using something like Terraform that is platform-independent or you're using platform-dependent, you know, versions of infrastructure as code, there's ways to check config and policy there.  And so all this can be done pre-deploy. And so your post-deploy verification becomes a verification step rather than you're finding those issues post-deploy, right? So 90-10 versus 10-90. And that's that shift that you can do. And by doing that right, you're also giving flexibility on which cloud deployment, like you don't have to redo your security entirely. You can, you know, do 10% different but you don't have to rethink of your entire security posture depending on which cloud you are. So it's interesting what you described because on the one hand, so you talked earlier about cloud as code. So that simplifies things, but then you talked about all this complexity on the backend. So cloud as code, but now code is now natural language. And when you think about security breaches, they oftentimes occur due to vulnerabilities and things like open source libraries. And you got these libraries growing exponentially. So are you and how are you using AI to keep pace? I eat what approaches might you be using to ensure things like continuous monitoring or rapid response so that you're not sort of doing it after the fact as you just described. What's the role of AI? Well, there's two very key parts here. One is security of AI and then the other is using AI to help make some of these things easier. So I'll break down the first part and then we can take the second part separately. So when the opportunity with AI and especially generative AI it's kind of created this moment where and I'll just focus on the dev part. We all know and we love using various generative AI tools for the kids birthday party, poems and other things. But when it comes to code, you need to train it with specific context. And what is being done for most of the AI generated code, generative AI tools is they use open source. Now, part of what we know is I talked about open source issues. There's a lot of security problems with open source code. That's one of the first things that's where a company like Sneak actually started as securing open source code. So we understand that inherently but not all the models when they train it think about it that way. Then there's the human context required. Every day there's a new zero day and our security researchers keep finding tends to hundreds of it. And how does that, if you have a model that's pre-trained it needs to catch up with that evolving landscape. And what we're seeing is that something that is essentially making an inference of what code should look like based on pre-training on potentially insecure code doesn't necessarily generate secure code at the end. I've got customers who tell me, look, the code generative solutions are improving productivity 40, 45% but what if it's creating security vulnerabilities that 50 to 70% right? Like now all you're doing is creating these issues faster. And fundamentally what we're seeing that's doing is making CISOs and security teams really conscious about the fact that they cannot do this post facto part that you talked about. You have to make that, whether shift left as a buzzword or not you got to really shift that early detection. You almost need to make sure that you're embedding technologies that catch these issues right where the code is being created not after the fact. So that's one of the big trends we're seeing is AI generated code great for productivity. There was a Stanford research and a few other research NYU that shows that AI generated code ends up producing more insecure code. Partly it's because of the technology reason I talked about but partly it's because of the psychological reason where a machine generates something and depending on how senior the developer is you may or may not actually check what is generated. You don't even feel the ownership of what is generated. And so these are the challenges that the security teams that I'm talking to and CISOs and really large companies that's what they're dealing with today. All right, so then thank you. And now let's deal with the second part of the other side of the coin. And so as we go from multi-cloud being, hey, my product runs in a cloud A and cloud B and cloud C and it's all kind of a different experience. As we move towards super cloud I'll ask the question this way. You think about your product it's becoming an integral part of a lot of companies DevOps workflows. So I'd love to hear your insights about how customer needs and concerns are changing in light of that broader shift from multi-cloud to what we're calling super cloud. What are some of those obstacles that customers face with managing security? And to your point using AI to make things easier how does that fit? Yeah, one of the big obstacles with that shift is just standardization of some of these tools. We talked about the complexity Dave you talked about cloud was supposed to make it a little easier it's code but yet you have all these parts and traditional app security really grew up in a age of compliance and audits. And so you just use whatever tool that you use for a certain part of your code stack and it didn't matter. And now it matters because velocity is important dev productivity is important. So you cannot treat these different aspects all of what I described whether it's open source, first-party code containers, infrastructure is code that whole could AI that they're not having holistic platforms of the challenge. And that's one of the things that Adele per security solution is actually like us is trying to solve is have a seamless continuous approach. The other part is a culture change. I talked about this culture to DevSecOps and that really is ownership and it's not going to happen if the developers are given more and more to do you got to make sure it is intelligence and it's something that is a partly educating partly making it intelligent and this is really the opportunity we see with AI is there's not one part that's very loaded as AI there's machine learning, LLMs and all that but what we are doing instead of having a generic AI solution that can generate your drama script and can generate your code and can secure it we're saying we do one thing and one thing only so it's like a full self-driving card analogy I'll use the car needs AI that understands rules and ML that learns from sensory changes in the world on how to react when things change you combine all of that focus on one thing that's securing code doesn't matter how it was generated human or AI and now you're able to do this enhancement of productivity it's going to happen anything that creates productivity enhancements gets adopted by Devs and that opportunity is where we see a big push now and that actually makes that shift left vision of security a reality and that's a great opportunity now to simplify some of the siloed complexity that was introduced with solutions from the past and you're doing that across cloud in a way that sort of hides that complexity and I like what you're saying about the focus but then it leads me to another question I think about like storage vendors trying to build a common storage layer across clouds or what VMware is trying to do with cross cloud you got Red Hat with OpenShift trying to create sort of a similar consistent experience Snowflake doing it in data Databricks doing it in data you guys doing it for Devs so you've got these which is the right thing focused specialists knocking down different parts of their value chain how do you see that coming together? Is it even add more complexity or is that simplified things in your view? I think it's a really matter of context is king in some ways and as a product management leader I think of product managers what do they give developers? They give them context so then they can build a better solution than rather than telling them what to build well we are giving them a security context right where they are to make better choices and that's offers abstraction too that's a side effect unless you brought it up I wouldn't have thought it necessarily in those terms Dave but the abstraction comes from the fact that this is context for us a cloud deployment is context and what we have done with cloud a lot of CSPM CNAP vendors focused on finding these issues and trying to figure out attack paths we actually bring that cloud deployed context all the way in the hands of the app sec teams and the developers so they know that this line of change here based on their actual cloud deployment model whichever cloud it is this particular change is going to impact your cloud deployment in XYZ based we're bringing that pre into the loop and that is another way of abstracting and reducing the complexity and enabling some of these choices you might, we use multiple clouds we do it because we like the capability of those different clouds we don't want every developer in our teams to actually figure out all the details so platform teams get created that abstract it and a lot of the technologies you mentioned we're a customer and partner snowflake we use it in our platform not every developer of ours needs to be an expert in that it's available as a service and that's where we're really seeing security really is also getting built in into that platform stack and then everyone consumes that stack and so that's the way to actually handle this from becoming layers of complexity you're giving this as building blocks to the devs who in the end are creating all this innovation and they just have a simplified set of building blocks and the building blocks themselves are abstracting the complexity away from the dev teams So I'm probably going to keep you a little longer than I initially thought because this is such an interesting conversation and I wonder Alex if you could go back to a one shot of Manoj because over his shoulder it says make every developer part of your security team and the reason why I think this is so interesting is because the CISO and the SecOps teams are asking a lot of the devs and the devs and they're not security experts so this is where you guys come in so you're helping to simplify that but I want to ask sort of a zoom out and ask you a big picture question that we're asking everybody ultimately in your view will AI be more beneficial to attackers or defenders and why do you think that? Well, good from the time I've been in security you know, Dave we've talked about I've been part of nation state attacks when I was back at RSA leading the response it's always a cat and mouse game I think done, right? AI, you know, just being careful about how you adopt it and this is where education is key and this is something we're trying to educate teams that might not be thinking about it they're looking at the sizzle aspect of oh wow I can generate code using chat interface or an API or some tool that has built it into the thing and not thinking through all the aspects and there are security aspects, there's quality aspects there's privacy and data governance and IP aspects now if you can really think about this as you know, I'm going to make the devs more productive and a lot of, you know if you look at some of the attack patterns from the last year it's so easy to get into an organization with supply chain attacks but that same, you know, focus by empowering the devs with, you know, responsible use of AI technologies and really marrying it with responsible use of AI security technologies makes it much more easier for you to build in security into the stack rather than just bolting it on after the fact and you know, so my belief, you know I'm optimistic and it's going to take time it's going to take a lot of education and tooling and culture change all of it coming together but the potential here is that you make a generational leap in our ability to actually tackle some of these issues that just don't seem to go away. Okay, last question. So the chief product officer at Sneak so you have a unique vantage point on the intersection of security and developer trends. So thinking about the context of this AI super cloud era what emerging security challenges do you anticipate that developers are going to face in the next say midterm three to five years I guess that's mid to longterm in these days and how are you planning to evolve your product portfolio to meet these threats? No, I think the here and now challenge we talked about but that'll probably continue for the midterm and that is organizations are going to want then doesn't matter what your compliance posture is what your governance posture is you are going to want to adopt this technology because it fosters faster innovation and that's everything we've seen cloud all the technologies we talked about in the past if you are actually improving innovation you're probably going to get adopted. And so that's kind of the here and now problem and where we are with that is we introduced things like deep code AI is our AI engine it does one thing and one thing well it understands code and it uses layers of AI hybrid AI we call it symbolic machine learning and LLM to find issues real time and fix issues as your writing code and that writing can be done by a different AI that is a code generative AI. So that's something that a lot of our customers look at it as a reason to accelerate shift left get this technology right in the IDE where the developers are writing code or using generative AI solutions and marry sneak code and deep code AI fix as the fix feature right in there and that's the start. There's a lot of, we started seeing things where the open source ML engines can get attacked and that can be a new compromise vector prompt engineering is great but you're able to use that and you're able to use that as an attack vector too and really training the safety of AI in that context what data is getting used by the developer. And so as we go from just generating code and innovation pastor a lot of people are gonna want to use AI well, how do you responsibly use data in the context of AI? And finally the security of those solutions itself and there's a lot of noise rumor reality in the window that maybe some of these models are poisoned but we know that theoretically it is possible and anything that's theoretically possible is going to get exploited. And so how do you secure the actual engines itself that Devs might be using? So we see all of these as areas of focus and then the cloud capabilities keep exploding and so you want to leverage the native goodness of every cloud while not making it a burden. And so enabling that evolution to more of a platform teams is another part of it that we see us empowering really security being built into the platform and that's a trajectory that all these trends are offering. You know, the whole industry is really focusing on these mega trends, Manoj and you're right at the heart of it with your product knowledge and your deep expertise. You've always been a great contributor to theCUBE so thanks for coming back on. Thank you Dave, number 13. Remember they're lucky 13. All right, keep it right there for more content from SuperCloud 3 live and on demand from theCUBE's Palo Alto studios and of course on thecube.net.


So you have to join us directly after the first round draw, immediate reaction if you don't mind to obviously the draw itself all the shots away. Yeah, it's off-draw for us, but that's the FA Cup, it throws up challenges and you've got to be ready for them and when the game comes we'll be prepared for it and we'll be ready to hopefully get through to round two. And it's certainly, if anything, if nothing else brings the magic of the FA Cup, you've got that non-league versus league scenario, does that magic the FA Cup certainly in that time? Yeah, that's right, it's an exciting game, it's a long journey which is the only downside for us but we went to Halifax last year and we knew how tough that would be. We got there in the end on that day and we'll give all shot the utmost respect. It's a good club, had some bad times in recent years but they're on the way back up but we'll have to be really prepared well for it and the lads will be up for it and all the staff will be. We know that because of what we did last year there was an extra bit of added incentive for teams to get one over on this so we'll have to be ready.


Daily Tech News Show is made possible by its listeners. Thanks to all of you, including Chris Allen, Chris Smith, and Mark Gibson. Coming up on DTNS, Aptura buys a factory for their solar car. Dan Campos tells us about a proposed standard for space time. And Amazon, Wing, and Elroy are all expanding drone delivery. Is this about to become real? This is the Daily Tech News for Friday, July 15, 2022 in Los Angeles on Tom Merritt. And from Studio Redwood, I'm Sarah Lane. From Columbus, Ohio, I'm Rob Dunwood. And I'm the show's producer, Roger Chang. Oh, what a better way to wrap up a week than to hang out and talk tech news with my friends here. Let's start with a few tech things you should know. Nikkei Asia's sources say that Intel informed customers it will raise prices on most of its chip products later this year, citing rising costs. Increases will vary based on specific chips from single digit increases up to 20% in other cases. So no more chip shortage? If you can pay for them, you can have them. Protocol has a good article up for those wanting to understand the impact of these chapter 11 bankruptcies that have been happening in the cryptocurrency space. There's a lot of them. Two of the bigger ones are from Voyager Digital, which was announced on July 6th and Celsius on July 13th. The protocol article does a great job of explaining why these are precedent setting for how cryptocurrency bankruptcies will be handled. Government regulators vary on whether to treat cryptocurrency as money, as currency, or as a commodity. They sometimes classify it differently for one regulation like tax than they do for another. So if it's currency, the company has to give you the value at the time you transacted with them if they're doing bankruptcy. Whereas if it's a commodity, the value is based on the current market value. And those are going to be different values. Not to mention what priority you as a customer of an exchange has as a creditor is a question. This is well settled for traditional banks, but not for cryptocurrency companies. There have been several smaller lawsuits, but Celsius and Voyager in particular are probably going to set the tone here. Meta announced its image generation engine called Make a Scene, similar to Dolly, which we've talked about on previous episodes. Crayon, Imogen, Make a Scene differs, though, in letting the user contribute a sketch as part of the prompt. So you could say something like a bear eating a taco. And if you wanted to sketch quickly where you want the bear, where you want the taco, give it a little something, something at the beginning. And the system has been made available to artists who work with AI, including Sophia Crespo, Scott Eaton, Alexander Rebin, and Refik Anadol, who are all going to give public feedback. Meta doesn't have plans to make it public just yet. They might in the future. But in related meta-news, Facebook began testing a way to let users create up to five profiles linked to a single account. These profiles could be dedicated to maybe a hobby that you have, certain friend groups that you have, a business. It's like a finsta, but for Facebook, these profiles cannot mis-present a user's identity, however. So I can't create a Sarah Lane profile. I mean, if you did, you would be misrepresenting me and yourself and myself. CDs are back, folks, in so many ways, including now the ability to rip CDs, returning to Windows Media Player. You may recall Windows-enabled CD playback in WMP in March, and CD ripping is rolling out to the latest preview version right now. WMP would be able to rip to AAC, FLAC, and ALC, but not MP3. So get out that new SPA CD and make some FLACs. Yeah. The Wall Street Journal sources say that Amazon began significantly reducing the number of items it sells under its own private labels, and even discussed exiting the private label business entirely. This reduction comes in part from disappointing sales of those products, but also to avoid further regulatory scrutiny, which Amazon has had a lot of. As of 2020, Amazon had 243,000 products across 45 different private brands. All right. We got some interesting EV car news rolling along these days. You remember us telling you about Aptura. Aptura makes a three-wheeled electric vehicle with a solar panel on top. We talked about the solar panel before. There's some speculation about how useful that solar panel actually is, but they claim it'll get you between 16 and 40 miles of extra charge a day, depending on your battery pack and, of course, how much exposure to the sun it has. The car itself has a range of 250 miles on the base battery, though it offers a larger battery pack that it says can give you a thousand mile range. They're talking about 100 kilowatt hour battery there. It offers options to put solar panels on the hood and the hatch, in addition to the one that comes on top, and drag coefficient, which is becoming increasingly popular to mention with EVs because less drag means more range. The Aptura claims to have a pretty good one, 0.13 drag coefficient. By comparison, the Tesla Model 3 has a 0.23, and the Ionic 6 that we talked about yesterday claims 0.21. The Aptura goes 0 to 60 in three and a half seconds. They also want you to know that for some reason these car makers really want you to think that you can live in these cars. Hyundai showed off a lot of use cases for working while parking this Ionic 6 that you guys talked about on yesterday's show. And Aptura showed off a camping configuration that turns the trunk into a pop-up tent after its pitch is the solar panel can charge the devices. Now, some folks have preordered the Aptura more than a year and a half ago. The company had to push back delivery dates. But since then, the news is Aptura bought a factory in Carlsbad, California to scale up production. So it has partnered with Michigan's Red Viking to use automated guide vehicles, aka AGVs, aka robots to move heavy parts around the factory floor. Says it can reach 10,000 cars out of that factory by the end of the year. It has 25,000 orders to fill, though. And you only need $100 deposit. So maybe some of those 25,000 orders will drop out once they face the price. Although the price of the Aptura is not that high relative to other EVs out there. You can reserve an Aptura.us with a $25,900 price. However, if you want that big old battery that I mentioned earlier, the price goes up to $46,900. And if you want all the extra options like the extra solar panels on the hood and everything, it tops out at $50,700. But going back to that $25,900 price, that's starting to get close to that $25,000 mark that we were talking about not too long ago. Yeah, so one of the things that I'm wondering, the fact that you only got to put $100 down on this, how many of these are they really going to make? Now, I know that they've got a new factory and everything, but I'm just starting to really wonder, are they going to be able to push out enough of these vehicles to be sustainable? Yeah, they have other ways of making them, too. The Carlsberg factory wasn't their only way of making them. So I'm not sure what their full capacity is. And that $100 deposit cuts both ways, right? You're right, I was looking at it as like, well, a bunch of people might have put $100 down, but then don't follow through. But it also means a lot more people would be willing to get in line pushing up those orders and then they will follow through. I don't know. I love this idea. I don't it reminds me of the problems with, do you remember the Honda? It was at the Honda Insight that had the the weird back wheels. It was one of the first hybrids and the and the early Prius before they went with the more normal Yaris looking car. They had a kind of a weird design. Like, I don't know why you have to make your design stand out because I'm not sure I want a three wheel car. But I guess that's part of the efficiency. So, you know, if you want it, this is how you get it. I love the what got me here was that the sort of camp out of your car component. Yeah, we talked we talked a lot about work out of your car component when we were talking about the Ionix 6 yesterday and how yeah, there's a lot of people who are like, well, sometimes I have to. And it's kind of cumbersome. And this could be a lot more comfortable, you know, depending on what you're doing. And I was like, I mean, yeah, sure. A lot of people like to go camping if you're going to have your car anyway. Why not, you know, make it something not unlike the Volkswagen bus I had when I was a little kid that had a pop top, you know, where I mean that my whole family, which is only three people, but still all three of us weren't going to sleep up there. But somebody could. That was cool. You know, that's also the reason my dad had a pickup put a sleeping bag in the back. And Sarah will go to bed and, you know, depending on where we were. So there's definitely a need for that. I think I think a lot of the timing of this feels like a car companies were trying to get creative anyway. And a lot of people during the pandemic were like, let's get out of dodge. Let's figure out a way to be a little bit more mobile and to have more options. And so we're now seeing some of the results of that whether or not to your point, Rob, it's going to sell a lot of vehicles remains to be seen. Yeah, I think the tent in the trunk is a little bit more gimmicky. All the stuff that they're doing in the ionic, that actually kind of makes sense.  Those work surfaces make a lot more sense than one of the big features is that you can turn your car into a tent when you're camping. Although, although car camping is a thing these days. I've seen a lot more people talking about car camping. You know, so maybe they're just trying. I still think you're right that it's a bit of a gimmick, but it may be a smart gimmick of like, oh, car camping. Yeah, I'm into that. You know, check it out. Maybe I'll want to get this still. It's still not a cheap car at twenty five thousand nine hundred. That's where I end up though is like, if I if I'm thinking like, oh, maybe I'll trade in my twenty fourteen civic and get this. For twenty five thousand nine hundred isn't ridiculous, especially for, you know, a brand new EV, but then I have to get this weird looking one. But then it's got solar and that makes me excited. I don't know. I just go back and forth. We'll see. Anybody wants to buy us one as a patron, you know, we won't turn it down. We'll live with it. Yes, exactly. Well, a few weeks ago, Ikea launched a new service called Creative Creative with a K to scan your room and remove the furniture from the picture so that you could use some augmented reality to see what new furniture would look like. And Ikea hopes that you would buy from them. Ikea's creative presents the results as a 2D picture, which means it doesn't require LiDAR to work because, you know, it's not 3D. Shopify has demoed a similar product. It does require LiDAR, but it can keep everything in 3D so you can keep looking around after you empty the virtual copy of your room and put new stuff in there. Shopify's Rutch matchmire showed it off on Twitter. So if you have an iPhone or an iPad LiDAR using the LiDAR and Apple's Room Plan API, you can scan a room and then press a reset button to erase the current furniture and go nuts. Shopify's tool is just in the experimental demo phase for now, but gives an idea of what the company is working on in the future. Yeah, this is cool. The creative one is practical and you can actually use it. This one from Shopify is just a demo, but it's pretty impressive when it wipes everything out, you know, at one touch. I do find that an impressive demo. It also took the vents off the wall. So I get why it's still a demo and not a shipping product yet, but, you know, hopefully they'll get those little tweaks out of the way and put this available because if I'm a furniture seller on Shopify or a real estate agent, I might just want to be able to tap into this somehow and be able to show, you know, be able to quickly be able to remove things from an actual picture of something I'm showing off. There's lots of cool use cases for this and it does show how we're progressing with augmented reality in practical ways. I mean, as a person who is on Craig's list for fun, not even because I'm looking for an apartment right now, but just to see what's out there in the world. I could see where once, yeah, real estate agents, rental agents, anybody who's either potentially going to live somewhere or potentially trying to rent out or sell a place that somebody will live in. All of these, you know, sure, this could be, I'm a homeowner and I'm looking for a new coffee table and I just want to get a sense of, you know, the place that I'm already in. I think that the market for this is huge for people who are trying to understand how their stuff and how stuff that they may buy in the future is going to fit in a potential new space. Oh, I definitely would be a consumer of this. I am very good at measuring and making sure that the furniture that I purchase fits in the room. I'm not so good at making sure that it fits my exact configuration. I know that the furniture is going to be in there, but it's like, but does it look as good? It's like, I've got an additional three feet compared to what I saw in the IKEA display. I've got an additional 14 inches, you know, here. Does it still look the same? This, I think would give me the opportunity to kind of see, you know, this is really what it's going to look like in your room, especially if you can kind of stand there, look around with your, you know, your VR set on. It's like, oh yeah, that's actually going to look really good there. Let me go ahead and pick this purchase up. Yeah. And Carl's Jr. Lover in our Twitch chat or Hardy's Lover, as he would be known on Rob's side of the country. He pointed out a good thing, a good question, which is, where's the day to go? Is this going to, because if this works locally on my phone, then I got no problem with it at all. But if it's sending my room data up to a cloud, then I'm going to need to know a little more about privacy policies. That's a good point. And all that stuff. So yeah, yeah, really good question there. All right, folks. Anybody who uses server time knows the intricacies of getting multiple machines in multiple places on Earth to sync up.  We are doing that more now than ever. There are some ways to figure out how to sync up time that way, but we don't really have a standard. So let's take a minute to hear from NTX's Dan Campos about a proposal to standardize time measurement in space. Hello, DTNS crew. Did you know that Chinese scientists publish a proposal to create a universal standard for measuring time through the solar system? Measuring time at different locations in space is difficult because of the large distances. A radio signal can take between 3 and 22 minutes to travel from Mars to Earth, and both the relative position and speed is constantly changing. The proposed system would use the sun as a basis for coordinates to determine the location in space and would mark the beginning of time from the moment in which a signal from a chosen pulsar reaches the sun. You can check this and more news, including a review about the agreement between Presidents Biden and Obrador about using tech for modernizing the border wall in Noticias de Tecnologie Express. The kind of news that can cross any border. Back to you, amigos. Thank you, Dan. Appreciate that. Now, of course, if you base the standard on the sun, that just means as soon as we leave the solar system, we're going to need a whole new standard. So, you know, you got to think ahead on these things. I wonder if it's taking into consideration that things traveling fast actually experience time different than your point of reference. You're going to have to include that. There's a lot of stuff you got to think about with that. Absolutely. Yeah. In fact, if anybody I know, I know there's folks in our audience that work in the aerospace industry, you know, work for NASA and all that sort of thing. I have not seen a lot of folks commenting on this proposal. So I'd be curious if there's any serious discussion about this or if it's just kind of a journal article of of academic interest only feedback at dailytechnewshow.com. Next week is special guest week here on DTNS new guests that we've never had before to talk about some amazing things. We have Jack Reciter from Darknet Diaries on on Monday. Quinn Nelson from Snazzy Labs is coming on. We expect Will Smith will be on formerly of Tested. Joel telling the 3D printing nerd, don't miss it. Tell your friends, this is the big thing we need you to do. Get out there and tell folks you can't miss special guest week on Daily Tech News Show. It starts on Monday, dailytechnewshow.com. All right. Let's talk about drones, shall we? A month after a month after Amazon announced its plans to bring drone deliveries to Lockford, California. It's a little north of Stockton for anybody who's familiar with the area. The company says it'll also offer drone deliveries at Texas A&M in College Station, Texas. Amazon believes it will get FAA approval to begin operations by the end of this year. Amazon's UAVs will be able to carry up to five pounds at up to 50 miles per hour. So pretty zippy, but you know, five pounds max. So to catch you up, Amazon, which got coverage from 60 Minutes for their drone delivery in December of 2013. Now has two announcements for service to begin this year once it gets approval. That is true. But as TechCrunch notes, at least in Texas, Amazon is somewhat late to the game. In March, Israel's flytex began drone delivery test in Dallas suburb of Grandbury and Alphabix, where the plane started service in Frisco and Little Elm, Texas back in April, where it's been delivering pharmaceuticals and other small packages. Speaking of wing, the company showed up two prototypes on Thursday that can handle a wider variety of packages. So right now its drone can carry up to 2.5 pounds and it uses the same drum, no matter how small the package is. The largest of the new prototypes would be able to carry up to seven pounds, increasing the types of deliveries that Wing could do, obviously. But they also showed off a drone able to carry just over half a pound, making it more efficient for little things, prescriptions, etc. Wing says ideally the packages should be around 25% of the mass of the plane or drone. Wing says it has completed more than 250,000 deliveries across Australia, Finland and the U.S. And meanwhile, for really heavy, excuse me, heavy drone deliveries, the Verge notes that Elroy Air is working on a drone that can carry up to 500 pounds of cargo with a range of 300 miles. Houston's Bristow Group, which mainly does helicopter service for the energy industry, and Search and Rescue has signed a letter of intent to buy 100 of the planes for use in Texas, Louisiana, Alabama and Arkansas. Yeah, so I was, for the past nine years, I've been kind of hard on Amazon for getting all the attention on that 60 minutes thing and never actually coming to market with a product. Not for drone delivery, but I want to give them credit that it does look like they're finally going to have something and they are retail giant. So once they enter this space for real, it's going to kickstart things. It's going to accelerate things and they are expected to get FAA approval for all this stuff by the end of the year. And it doesn't look like there's any reason why they won't. So with Wing so far down the road and backed by Alphabet, you know, the owners of Google, with all of these other smaller companies like Zipline that are out there with Elroy doing, you know, 500 pounds of cargo, like like full cargo carrying situation as an alternative that is that is a drone delivery. That is either autonomous or remotely piloted, right? And that's the thing to remember. A lot of this stuff is remotely piloted. Wing actually has humans that are not autonomous. We are going to see this get close to critical mass. And it's either going to stall out pun intended or or it's going to take off also pun intended. And I would say if it does take off by the end of next year, we'll be talking about when are we getting drone delivery in our area versus is drone delivery ever really going to catch on? Yeah, I just have a picture in my mind. Go ahead, Rob. I just want to say just a picture of my mind of an Amazon truck pulling into your neighborhood. Not the back opens up. The top opens up and just a bunch of drones just take off and start delivering stuff to people's door and then comes back. I don't think we're quite there yet, but I can kind of see that coming in the future. So the fact that they're actually getting to where they can carry heavier items, it's like it used to be just medicine or very, very small things. Now maybe I really need that new router. It can be delivered to you relatively quickly. Things that are five pounds, seven pounds that that seems reasonable for just most things to get delivered from Amazon. Yeah, yeah. I mean, there's so many things I get a lot of things from Amazon, not just Amazon, but that's where the majority of my packages come from. And yeah, sometimes they're bundled together in a big old box, but many of the specific items are pretty light. It's vitamins or a shirt or things that really aren't more than a couple of pounds at most, even with the packaging. What I think is really interesting is El Royer saying, okay, you know, we can go, you know, possibly up to 500 pounds of cargo, something for disaster relief, particularly in the areas where the company is kind of looking to at least start servicing somewhat regularly. That's really interesting to me because, you know, when you get to that point, okay, yeah, you're not lifting a vehicle necessarily, but you can really move. You can move some stuff. Yeah, and if this does, as I think is possible, really reach that takeoff point in the next couple of years. I'm sorry, I just can't think of another way to say it. I think we're going to go from zero to 60 on safety considerations because up till now the safety considerations have always been people talking about how hard the FAA is making it to use drones, right, that they're being over cautious. As soon as these are starting to happen in populated areas, when they start doing this in New York City, when it starts to be more widespread, you're going to, you're going to see the backlash start to happen because it only takes one or two minor collisions for people to start pointing at that and saying it's unsafe. So they're really going to have to do a lot to convince people like, no, you're not going to have planes falling out of the sky on top of your head with or quadcopters or anything else. Well, if you're looking for a cool new thing to wear by the pool this summer, Microsoft is launching a new hardware that's hard W. E. A. R. Get it that time clothing collection. I know couldn't help it, including a Windows XP t-shirt for $60. I didn't name it Microsoft did. Now you might say $60. That sounds like an expensive t-shirt. And yes, it is, but it's part of a nine piece collection of t-shirts and hats and sweats, jackets and pants part of a collab between supervision founder Gavin Mathew and Microsoft. You're not familiar. He's a big in sort of the style world. It's also Microsoft's first go at selling this kind of clothing merchandise because, you know, merch is hot these days. Director of multicultural and social communications at Microsoft. Amanda O'Neill explains that and I love this quote. The collection is reflective of the norm core style, a lifestyle aesthetic that puts the focus on individuals and not on the clothing that they wear. Every piece is intentional and there is meaning behind each item in hardware. There's also a MS paint t-shirt, you know, if Windows XP doesn't strike your fancy, maybe the MS paint t-shirt will and a hardware hat with Microsoft's nine 1990s logo colorings for a little nostalgia. So what caught my eye in this hardware picture was that it appears that Gavin Mathew is wearing a fear of God hat. The fear of God brand is another like street wear brand from Jerry Lorenzo, Jerry Lorenzo, by the way, son of former Chicago White Sox manager Jerry manual. And I looked it up and Gavin and him are friends. They're like they're like collaborators. They go way back. So this is definitely tied into the whole street wear, you know, norm core. Like you said, Sarah trend out there. And suddenly I went, I went like an about face from like, oh, come on Microsoft to like, well, at least you did it right. You found somebody who's in the space knows what they're doing to put this together. So I don't know. Yeah, maybe it's such a bad idea. I have some some friends who are much more into the style particularly street wear old wear life than I am. And I sent it to him like, can you believe Microsoft? This is dumb, right? And all of them were like, no, this is really cool. Yeah, just shows how much I know. The folks who are going to be into this are really going to be into this. So, you know, hopefully Microsoft understands that they can't make too much of this stuff. They actually need to have some scarcity there so that everybody can't get it. But yeah, I think it actually will probably do pretty well, even though the stuff is a little steep as far as the cost from our standpoint seems to be. It's steep when you think of it as Microsoft swag. Absolutely. Right. It's actually not that bad when you think of it as like branded streetwear. Branded stuff. Yeah, that's actually. Yeah, you want like a supreme t-shirt? It's going to be more than $60. Exactly, right? Yeah, we're talking about that. It's in that kind of space there. So, and J-Rom 20 points out the close will have end of life with no support.  You spill something on it. That's on you. Have you tried closing it and opening it again? Blowing it really hard. All right, let's check out the mailbag. Let's do it. This one comes from Mark. Mark writes on Wednesday's show, you were talking about the new peak of electrical demand when the smart thermostats are warming up homes while people are waking up. The frustrating thing about smart thermostats is that they rely entirely on the furnace and air conditioner to manage temperature and they leave other options off the table. For example, you discussed a Finnish company called Polar Light a short while ago that created a thermal battery made from sand. The idea to generate electricity, but why not repurpose the solution to store heat during the day and then release it during the morning warm up? For decades, commercial buildings have run chillers at night and use the stored ice to cool during peak electrical hours. Couldn't we do something similar with residential cooling put on a smaller scale? Mark says finally smart thermostats rarely taken to account the outside temps. At some point, the outside temperature might be lower than the inside temperature. Might be cheaper to exhaust the hot air than bring in fresh cooler air. Some might think this would be a big change to the way that we heat and cool homes, but Mark says I think that solar has already done that and some of these ideas may be less expensive than installing panels on our roofs. All right. The one thing I do know is that the Finnish company doing the sand is doing the same thing that you're talking about. You can generate electricity from it, but they are using it for heating. So they may be doing exactly what you're talking about, Mark. The rest of this, I don't know enough about the space to know if Mark is a genius or if there are good reasons why this doesn't happen or maybe it's happening and we're just not aware of it. But these all sound worthwhile to me. I think they sound like great tweaks that and the idea of a smart thermostat doing more than just trying to set the temperature at an optimal time is a good one to pursue. Like what else could the smart thermostat be smart about? That's a great question. Yeah, good stuff. Good stuff from Mark and everybody who has great questions, great anecdotes for stories that we've talked about, ideas for future stories. Do send them our way. Feedback at dailytechnewshow.com. And J-Rom 20 has clarified if you have a problem with your Microsoft hardware, you just take it off and put it back on again. It'll be fine. Oh yeah. That's a good point. Huh. It is easy. Well, something we're never going to take off our show is Rob Dunwood because you're such a delight Rob. Good to see you again today. Let folks know what you've been up to lately. It is always a pleasure being on DTNS and I am can be founded basically everything at Rob Dunwood and also come check out one of my other shows, The Tech John, which is a weekly tech show where we talk about tech from a bit of a different perspective, you know, all the hosts look like me and we bring some social commentary into how technology affects our daily lives. I mean, I don't know if Stephanie and you are like twins or anything, but I know what you're saying. And I love your album art. I mean, I love the show also, but I really love the album art. It's good. Mr. Lynn Perelto. Yeah. And you know, and an essential listen for me every week. I'm not even joking like you guys, if you're talking about something we've already talked about on DTNS, we'll bring in a bunch of stuff that I didn't think about before or you're covering a story that we didn't get to or didn't know about. So it's it's a perfect compliment to your other technology information folks. TheTechJohn.com. We also have a brand new boss to thank. We said yesterday we're going to make a big deal out of it and we sure are. Sebastian is our new gold star winner. Just started backing us on Patreon. Thank you, Sebastian. Glad to have you on board. I said we're going to make a big deal. There we go. Sebastian. Oh my gosh. Look at you. Sebastian did it. Look, we weren't sure anybody could fill in the shoes from yesterday, but Sebastian proved us wrong. So I don't know. Could it happen on Monday? No, I think so. No idea. I think we're capable of it. So yeah, if you're not a patron, I'm thinking about it now's the time. We thank you in advance.

Well, the beginning of May is just days away now, but it was a blast of winter for much of the Northland today. Our Josh Peterson was out in the snow and shows us how the area is coping with current winter conditions. We may only be a few days away from the first of May, but old man winter isn't going away quietly. Early Wednesday morning, the temperatures dropped in the rain that was falling quickly turned to ice and then snow, creating a blanket of white across the landscape at Nature's Edge Garden Center where they were about to kick off their spring open house. The wintery weather has put the spring planting season on hold. It's just gonna make our season a little later. It's happened years before, but with the nice weather that we had in March in the beginning of April, it really kind of puts a damper on things. The greenhouses at Nature's Edge are filled with the sights and smells of spring with an array of bright colored flowers cascading across the tables, ready to be transplanted into waiting flower beds. However, it's a drastic contrast outside where shrubs and trees are already in bloom. The snow on these trees may make it look more like a Christmas card. However, there is a hidden benefit to this late spring snow with the temperatures dipping down into the low 20s. Having the snow can provide much needed insulation for those sprouts and buds. So if we're gonna get a 20 degree night tonight, the best scenario is to have snow on top of it. Even the city of Amidji was caught off guard by the sudden blast of winter. City engineers started summer road construction projects weeks ahead of schedule because of the warm spring. Now the projects are temporarily paused and the equipment sits idle while the weather sometimes makes it difficult to get the job done. So contracted, decided to wait till tomorrow just to alleviate any chance for problems. Despite the cold and snow, even the city says there is a silver lining to this late winter blast. Maybe one of the benefits is it hardens up some of the water that we got from the rains. In Bemidji, Josh Peterson, Lakeland News. City engineers say that the roadwork shouldn't be delayed more than a day. As for nature's Edge Garden Center, they still plan to hold their open spring, their spring open house this weekend.

Hi, my name is Severin Givolf and today I'm going to show you a short demo of OpenJDK container detection support on a CGroupSV2 system. The system I am demoing this on is a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 distribution, which is using CGroupSV2 or Unified Hierarchy by default. On this system I have installed Minicube using the Podman driver. Let's get started. First, I'm creating a simple Hello World HTTP deployment using OpenJDK 17, which has support for CGroupSV2 via its container detection code. This deployment is an undertow-based web application that prints Hello World once its endpoint is being requested by a browser. Here I'm using Curl to demonstrate this. Hello World! Looking at the deployment description, we see that it is using Kubernetes resource limit feature. For example, the number of CPUs is hard-limited to one, and the memory limit for the deployment is set out to be 2GB of RAM. There are also resource requests being specified, which Kubernetes uses for scheduling a deployment on a node. Resource requests are usually slightly lower than the actual enforced hard limits. But that Kubernetes resource limits directly translate to resource limits being imposed on the underlying container that is running on an undertow application. Container resource limits, in turn, are enforced on Linux via the CGroups pseudofast system. Knowing this, let's see how those resource limits are being detected by OpenJDK. When looking at the OpenJDK container trace logging output, we can see that it detects this correctly as a CGroups V2 system. We also see that the configured limits from Kubernetes are detected. Similar to OpenJDK's container trace logging, we can use the VMInfoJ command to see the CGroups config of a running JVM. In this case, the JVM is running as PID 1. As you can see, the active processor count is 1, and the detected limits match the Kubernetes settings. Note that detected resource limits affect how internal data structures within OpenJDK are being sized. For example, the garbage collection algorithm selected by default and not otherwise specified might be different for different sets of resource limits. How container resource limits can affect the GC algorithm being selected is being shown next. Remember, for this deployment, we specified one CPU core and two gigabytes of RAM. When we look at the GC trace logging of the pod, we notice that serialGC is being selected. What if we change the CPU settings of this deployment? First, we need to export the existing deployment and then change the CPU resource limit to 3. When we look at the deployment description again, we see the new 3 CPU cores limit is now in place at the Kubernetes level. If we now look at the GC trace logging of the application again, we notice that G1 GC is being selected. When looking at the container trace logging output of the changed deployment, we recognize that OpenJDK picked up the changed CPU core settings as well. Similarly, if we once again look at the running JVM via the VMInfoJ command, we see that the active processor count changed to 3, which had the effect that G1 GC is being used as the default garbage collector. This concludes the demo of OpenJDK's 17th Container Awareness on C Group's WITU system. Thanks for watching.


So here's the deal guys, elongated skulls found in Paracas are not human. That has been confirmed through DNA testing. It doesn't match that of humans.  Beings with huge heads are mentioned throughout historical text and are depicted in many cultures across the planet but they don't exist today. What happened to these supposed hierarchy of society? If scientific proof on this earth now exists of aliens or gods or whatever you want to call them is not enough then you must seriously consider the consequences for dismissing such findings. Being skeptical is one thing but completely dismissing this as a hoax has been more than enough to raise Mr. Spock's eyebrow right over his forehead. Wait, do you hear this? When we think of Atlantis we think of Plato's description. We don't have much else to go on, right? But what if we were to tell you that civilizations that we are taught about in schools like the Maya, the Egyptians and the Aztecs to name a few all share a connection. One connection is the depiction of the handbag of the gods which has got to be something of significant importance and appears in all these cultures and it was so important they carved it in rock for all time and the other connection is that in the elongated skulls the rulers of these ancient cultures were the elongated skulls beings meaning they are royal by blood and unmistakingly visible to their people. For example in the post cataclysmic world two groups of what we refer to as the pre-atomites survived one group in Europe and Asia which become the dynastic Egyptians and another one in Mesoamerica. Only these two groups were unaware of each other's survival. It is possible that these two surviving civilizations are the descendants of the Atlanteans. They ruled in ancient times after the cataclysm. It is possible they have gone on to further rule in certain circles. Consider the Illuminati, the New World Order. The symbolism for this is the all seeing eye, the same symbol used by these ancient beings. This is the symbol for the royal bloodline of the Atlanteans. Is it possible that after the time of Columbus that these two surviving groups began communicating again and in turn set up the secret society to establish control over the world once again? The new empire of the Atlanteans may be the world we live in today. If elongated skulls people are still alive today then perhaps they hide them by wearing a hat or a headscarf or something similar. In France there have been burial sites found of the elongated skulls beings. This was a full 18 tomb royal dynasty buried with all their jewels and they all had elongated skulls. In Italy even as recent as the 14th century there is a royal family where they had countless family portraits that showed the prince and princess with huge elongated skulls. The family are called the House of D. S. D. and they effectively have bloodlinks to every European dynasty that have ever existed stretching back through time. But it is unclear how many of these beings are still present in society today. According to so called whistleblowers people with elongated skulls have been seen in places like London and New York in the financial district and indeed in the Vatican. The Pope's hat is another possible salute to these elongated beings. You have to wonder if these beings are in fact still controlling the planet in some capacity through finance and politics and of course religion. We often wonder why the ancient messages seem coded. We consider the great secrets that have been left for us to decipher. Well perhaps these beings are safeguarding that secret and guiding us as a civilization from their own previous experience. Maybe just maybe. The elongated skulls found at Antarctica were mind blowing because not only had they found a lost civilization but also because they did not match human DNA meaning they could be alien in every sense of the word. It was thought at the time Antarctica was first reached by humans in 1820 hundreds of years after the suspected age of the skulls but also because they were elongated with giant craniums leading some commentators to claim they could have been the remains of aliens who visited Earth. The reports claim that an archaeologist called Damien Waters and his team uncovered the skulls in a region of Antarctica called La Paya. They were hailed initially as the first human remains uncovered from Antarctica before it changed to the first remains of aliens found on Earth. Mr. Waters allegedly an archaeologist from Smithsonian Institute of New York reportedly said after the alleged discovery in 2014, we just can't believe it. We didn't just find human remains on Antarctica, we found elongated skulls. I have to pinch myself every time I wake up, I just can't believe it. They will redefine our view of mankind's history as a whole. The Greeks, the Anunnaki, the Egyptians and many other civilizations may be the descendants of the Atlanteans, the survivors of the ancient Cataclysm if so they could still be running this planet today and preparing us for an announcement. They have deliberately not told us of the past in an effort to rebuild what was once lost. When the Atlantean Empire is fully restored, then they will tell us who we are and what we are doing here. This seems as plausible as anything else, guys so why would this not be true? Anyway, comments below and as always, thank you for watching.


The House of Representatives Joint Committee on Special Duties and Public Assets has requested all federal government agencies to suspend concession processes until its ongoing investigation is concluded. The directive was given during a inaugural investigative hearing at the National Assembly Complex in Abuja. The hearing aims to examine the impact of public-private partnerships, PPPs, and concession agreements on public infrastructure and services. Honourable Seidu Abdoulaye on February 27, 2024 submitted a motion of national public importance urgent investigation of all government concession processes in the country.

Honourable Seidu Abdoulaye on February 27, 2014 submitted a motion of national public importance urgent investigation of all government concession processes in the country. and to demand detailed account. Members of the first estate of the RIM, thank you for all that you keep doing. You've done a few laws in the National Assembly for everything that we do, you are always present. Thank you. I want to show all of us that this committee or joint committee will do everything with its power to ensure probability, to ensure accountability, and to ensure that we deliver on the mandate of this joint committee. It shall allow us to do our best to make sure that Nigerians get the best. Hence, I encourage active involvement, constructive discourse, and a mutual commitment to transparency and accountability. It is going to be more of Joe-Joe, not World War, because it's all about one nation that we are proud of. We have no other nation. We should not take it personally, said public service. I promise I'll invite the stakeholder that there'll be a great amount of respect for the offices and the rules you play, flowing from the National Assembly. So be relaxed. This is your house. This is the people's house. Nobody's going to harass you. Nobody's going to intimidate you. Nobody's going to make you afraid of delivering what is a truth and not a better truth.

An armed person walked into the lobby of a state psychiatric hospital in New Hampshire on November 17 and shot Detegaard before a state police officer shot and killed the suspect. Officials said .no1 else was injured in the gun violence, which erupted at about 3.30 p.m. at the New Hampshire State Hospital in Concord, the state capital, according to state police Colonel Mark Hall. Sirens can be heard in footage uploaded on social media as police attended the scene the 184-bed hospital is. Situated on the grounds of a 120-acre office complex that is home to several state agencies, including Health and Human Services, the Department of Education and the Public Utility Commission, Merced.


was really good. You know credit to them they made him work enough obviously and really drove his count up. They were able to kind of get a guy on base it seemed like every inning and then you know Tsutsugo had that long at bat where he grinded out a really good at bat where I thought Garrett kept making pitches against him. But I thought he was pretty sharp overall for not being able to obviously get through five and then you know obviously a couple mistakes there at the end that you know cost him being able to get through. But you know I thought the other side did a good job of at least making it tough on him when I thought he was pretty sharp. That pitch count was the reason for taking him out. Yeah and I just felt like at the end there it was you know you know starting to start an attire out a little bit. Thank you. Well that would be Meredith please unmute. Who you'd be starting in game two. King. And what have you liked about what you've seen from King so far this season. I've really liked the stuff. You know obviously his fastball and his two seen fastball really plays. The secondary stuff continues to improve but he's been he's been aggressive. He's been on the attack and I actually think he's pitch better than than his numbers would suggest. Will Voight and Hicks be in the lineup. Yes. Thank you. Take the next one from Brendan Cuddy. Hey Aaron. Could you tell us about the mountain visit between Blake and Cole. Was that just to check in on Cole. See how he was doing. Take a step. Yeah just a mountain visit. Yeah. Right. Right. Yeah. Was it to inform him like we guys let him know like this is your last. Inform him what. Were you guys letting him know that this was his last batter or. No. No no no. Okay we'll go to Ken and David off. Hey Aaron. Just wonder what prompted you to hit forward third and then how pleased you were with how that worked out. Well I knew I wanted to play him one of the games. You know like him against velocity and and I mean he's a really good hitter you know that you know the left handed kind of breaking up the mix there like him against velocity and he got a he jumped on a good glass now heater to get us off and run at night. And all you saw in Gary first couple of bath versus the last couple. Again I really do feel like he's way more in the fight these last couple of days he's still obviously not where he needs to be and not all the way there but if you look at the last three days compared to a week ago or four or five days ago I think there's a stark difference. So hopefully he's getting close to really really breaking through. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you very much.


This study found that community-led, total sanitation, CLTS, did not reduce diarrhea rates in children in rural villages in Mali. However, it did lead to an increase in access to toilets and a decrease in open defecation, which may have contributed to better child growth.

jump across maybe both nations and different roles. I'm very sensitive to the fact that the Governor of Sao Paolo, who is in fact going to be hosting this next event in a year from now, needs to leave precisely at a certain point, so I will come to you at the right time, otherwise you'll miss your plane. But could I ask Joni Joseph, the Chief Secretary of the Government of Marahashtra, to be the second to comment on these issues of governance? There are members of the Paolo and friends. Well, five minutes on the three topics which were given me. When you first came into office, what were the key issues facing your city, and what you felt needed to be addressed? Second is about what have been the major success stories and what are the constraints and how you would like to handle the handshift. I am Chief Secretary to the Government of Marahashtra for the last four or five months, but before that I was Municipal Commissioner of Mumbai. So I have firsthand the knowledge of the city of Mumbai. So I proposed to dwell on these aspects as far as Mumbai city is concerned, more than because running of the city means practical handling of the city. When I first came to office about 2004, the key issues facing the country, the city was about basically the infrastructural weaknesses, basic civic infrastructural weaknesses and also inadequacies of water supply, sewerage system and also we had problems of service delivery, problems of satisfaction of the citizens, problems of what I would say, disaster management. The city in July 2005 underwent a trauma in the form of a deluge which is well known and I find from one of the papers the government was absent. I just want to say that the government was very much there but not seen. Therefore, when a calamity comes in the evening and you are not able to do, it is beyond you and unprecedented, never anticipated, not even expecting, what do you do? You turn to the army, navy, air force and all for help. But in the evening, the air force, the navy, the movement could help at that time in the night and lakhs and lakhs of people were, thousands and thousands of people were stranded on the road. That is the enduring sight of people on the middle of the road and water all around, people could not help, people could not be saved. So, the first thing, first challenge was to remove that issue. That required short term, medium term and long term measures to ensure security, safety and security of the citizen.  That is precisely what you have been doing and I can assure you that as a result of the effort made that hereafter, it is not possible to such a site where people won't be helped. State of the art rescue and relief themes have been put in place, tie up the armed forces have been put, have been made and more than that, the long term measures which are required, the basic problem was it showed up all the weaknesses of basic civic infrastructure, drainage, sewerage and also that total direct question of being able to handle stormwater management. And you know very well the McTee River, which is just five meters wide in one place, now it is an average of 60 meters and 100 to 200 meters, pumping sets have also been being provided now and the central government, and it required huge investment. It required investment of two, about 300 million dollars and I am happy to say that during my time, project preparations were made and also this has been put in place, it has started and my successor I am sure will is able to continue the good work which we have started, the firm foundation we have laid and prime minister has given that money for us, 300 million dollars and similarly, the JNU that is the urban renewal mission, for that also we have made city development plans and procured the required support for water supply and sewerage projects costing 500 million dollars. So in the manner of three years, we have been able to secure this and we also put systems in place for that so that permanently these things will be addressed and I can say for the last two months own, people have been able to, the trouble which people had to enter to much, much less and a situation like that will never come before, will not come here after. And second issue was about delivery. See the problem was service delivery, people were always worried about the corruption, people were worried the licences takes a long time, there was no transparency in working, I can say that the only solution will be to throw open everything. So we had conceived a system of e-governance and e-governance where 240 services of the, which has been given by the corporation, municipal corporation will be possible to you will get it online. So this is something remarkable for which you know, back office work had to be tremendous and the money involved was also about 100, in crores we call it 200 crores, that will be about 50 million dollars. So much of amount was spent from the corporation itself so that we can have the system and I can assure you that SAP, that is the system which is known for ERP, which is not there anywhere in India at least and many places not there in Asia. So that is taking care of the e-governance, connectivity between wards, 200 odd offices have been connected between the, to the headquarters, connectivity and this ERP software with that material management, financial management, human resources, everything has been utilized. Today payment gateways are there, property tax or any tax or any amount, anything can be paid from the, you can access the web and pay. We have an interactive portal, all these were possible because of lot of work, effort put in and we had very excellent consultants who were doing the hand holding and the work is going on and my successor who is here, Mr. Patak is here, he is continuing the good work so that Mumbai will be definitely transforming itself into the national city. I would like to say it's about this water supply inadequate, though it is not inadequate by world standard we have about 200 litres per head but we have to augment it because 59% of the people live in slum and 40% of water supply goes there so therefore we have to augment the supply and for that also under the JNURM we could get the amount required and the work has also started. Suverage, Mumbai is 51% sure, Delhi I read somewhere it is 45% sure, excuse me if it is wrong but in order to have a total sewerage we will require about 4000 crores that is by 2020 and for that the first phase I am glad to say with the help of the central government under the NURM they have sanctioned the first phase also going on which will reach us up to 60% in another two years time and the second phase will have to be taken so the drainage, sewerage, water supply all these projects have been taken similarly the e-governance have been put in place and more work is also required to be done to add to that and which will also continue similarly for the roads the things which you find in the Mumbai city the roads were bad 2004 lot of criticism we have appointed a special technical committee and the national experts and on their recommendation we are now doing roads not an individual patchwork basis but on total redesign depending upon traffic and a host of 16 parameters which are studied by independent agencies and that has now played dividends in the form of another 120 kilometers of new roads have been laid in concrete and also another on 170 in case of other normal upgraded asphalt roads and they have also been put in place and proper maintenance earlier maintenance was also a haphazard but now that also has been proper maintenance systems have been put into place then as I mentioned earlier this beautification of the entire city things like Mr. Das is here he has helped us with many I am happy that you have got an award but more than that our award and recognition was there much earlier and we have taken up the gateway through with his help he has also helped us with the construction of the museum which is in the pattern of Prince Albert and Victoria museum in London that has also been developed with the help of public private participation Mr. Bajaj Foundation has given a generous help the corporation of Mumbai that beautiful heritage building is being redone with the help of Abba Narayan Lambash she is here very much here some sanitation and all the world bank has appreciated our community toilets experiment but going a step further we have borrowed from Delhi's madam first you have that one special toilets which are made in Lothi road and right in the airport we can now see in our airport their area also beautiful air which are being maintained very well which is as good as any in this hotel itself or beyond that similarly but what are the constraints problem is in democracy we can only have what is called incremental making a difference spectacular results will not come very easy for that you require to involve people to involve 2 minutes more or less this problem of city of Mumbai Mumbai lives in the slums as I said 59-60% unless in large scale migration search of employment you will find that in the largest slum in Asia that is Dharavi which is now being going to be developed such areas it is not income in order to people come from all over India in search of employment and then they occupy the place so unless until the hinterland is developed as you rightly said and also the entire rural area is developed it is not you can't address the problems of city of Mumbai which is like a small island and for that for the entire Mumbai metropolitan region we have made a plan of 60 billion dollars I am happy to say that the world bank president who was here yesterday Mr. Robert Zalik he has given in principle approval to our business plan for the Mumbai metropolitan region plan which is about 4,325 square kilometers as I said 430 square kilometers Mumbai city area and also we went a step further and for the entire development of all urban areas in Maharashtra which is 42% urbanized and also rural areas we have asked for the business plan of 66.8 billion dollars of course money has to come from through various method world bank is institutional finances one GDP model is what we are going to do in government and all of us took to the if you work to the plan and also commitment and dedication we shall certainly be able to achieve this and that will be my effort chief secretary thank you


In high school, I remember synthesizing a compound, you know, chromium, ack-ack, and just fell in love with the whole process and making things and the rules of chemistry and understanding how you could use that to make molecules. I think it's important for young people to explore what they like and what they don't like and what they're good at and what they're not good at in a safe environment. And it's neat when people know early in their lives what they want to do. But it's also important for people to experience a lot of different things and find out what they're not great at or what they don't like. And what I love about science is you can do so many things like in my career and what I've done is almost episodic and be able to completely turn the page on a topic and move into new topics is really interesting. I enjoy that, diversity. And you know what's really interesting is you think about innovation and what drives innovation. You realize quickly that diversity is a fundamental tenet of innovation. You know, it's mathematically substantiated. And you know, I've been part of a lot of different design teams in my career with a lot of young people and I can tell you, I can see the difference between how somebody grew up with not much money, thinks about problem solving differently, somebody grew up with a lot of money and you want that richness to come together. And you have to, you know, think about almost engineering your community to foster innovation. School science and math has paid attention to this, the faculty, the students. And so that fosters a foundation for innovation that's really, really critical and it's an important part of the school. I love folks that love science and love to think big. And I've always found that perspective coming from the students in science and math and, you know, they're not there to do incremental things. It just feels like they're there to change the world. And I love the esprit de corps with people that are thinking about they can make a difference.
