Welcome to Neve's Desk on SiliconANGLE TV, for Monday, October 8th, 2012, I'm Kristen Folletti. China Labor Watch is reporting that another strike broke out on Friday at a Foxconn factory in China. The report says three to four thousand Foxconn workers were unhappy about having to work during an extended national holiday and also that Apple is putting them under immense pressure to deliver iPhone 5s at higher quality standards without providing adequate training on how to improve yield rates. Saturday, Foxconn issued a statement denying that production was affected. With this being another recent strike in several weeks at Foxconn, how is deja vu impacting Apple? Joining us now with his breaking analysis is SiliconANGLE founding editor Mark Risen Hopkins. Welcome, Mark. Howdy. So to summarize quickly, Foxconn employs more than one million workers in China. They've suffered in the past three years from suicides, riots, strikes. Foxconn employs have been reported to work as many as 12 hours a day. And now they're saying the difficulties of meeting Apple's demands for quality standards have caused abuse from guards and set off these most recent incidents. So what's the solution here? So it's really hard to say what the solution will be without actually changing the whole of the human rights abuse issues that exist in China on a much larger scale. And I think actually before I go too far into the answer to this question, it's important for me to point out that on some of these things, the issues that Foxconn employees are experiencing, like such as the suicides and some of the work conditions, while they are serious issues, many times when there's a suicide in the workplace or around the workplace, it's a big deal. But suicide rates around Foxconn are actually below industry average. This was something in Steve Jobs and the Foxconn officials made a very important show of talking about when it was first made into an issue in story last year. But I mean, in terms of a solution for this kind of ongoing problem for the workers, it's kind of an odd situation because Foxconn does provide slightly better standards for its workers than most other manufacturing outfits in China. It actually gives them more leverage to ignore the human rights abuses or as the West sees them as human rights abuses. Because they're able to kind of hold the pay rates underneath over the workers' heads. They pay above minimum rate, they pay above minimum wage in China. They pay around 200, actually up from 220 a month to around $339 a month, which is far above what minimum wage is in China and what the average pay is in China. So when you're talking about them striking at the Foxconn factory, it's very difficult for them to do so in the first place just because they're walking away from more money than probably all their friends and families have ever seen in any particular job. Apple sold 5 million iPhone 5 models in the first three days on sale last month, and the demands of the public are causing more pressure on plant workers. Do you think Apple needs to slow down the rollout of future projects to prevent this future worker mistreatment? I think that they would have a hard time doing so. They would see severe backlash from the company. It's kind of a game of opportunity cost for them. They've got issues. This is all about a PR issue when it comes down to it with Apple. I mean, sure, there's more at stake on a moral level, but when it comes down to it, Apple is having to deal with this strictly on a basis of a PR problem. Will this prevent them from selling more iPhones in the future? And to actually slow out the roll of iPhones to prevent the loss of sales of iPhones in the future seems somewhat antithetical to the end goal. So would them slowing the manufacturing down or slowing down the demand for manufacturing solve or help alleviate some of the problems it might, but it would also undercut the bottom line. Can you tell us about what's driving these so-called higher quality standards that Apple's enforcing? So there's been some complaints from customers about getting an iPhone off fresh off the shelf or fresh in the mail and there's some scratches on the back cover or some sort of like imperfection on it. Then Apple has made their reputation on being absolutely perfect, perfect product every single time. And so they're held to a much higher standard by the consumer than any other brand out there. And that's really what this is about. It's exacting standards that the consumer is set for Apple because Apple is set for themself. So these higher demands by consumers are consumers to blame for the mistreatment that's happening at these plants? Is there anything that they can do? So I mean at the end of the day the only people that are truly to blame are Foxconn. I mean you can try to blame the user on this but this is nothing more than a consumer reinforcement of the marketing cycle that Apple has put out there for close to a decade if not longer now. We do not screw up. We make a perfect product. That's the Apple mantra. And consumers have bought a hook by a sinker. Literally they buy it and that's why they buy is because they make a perfect product. And so you can't really blame the end user other than to say that yes they continue to buy something like an iPhone while they know that there is human rights abuses going on during the manufacturing process. China Labor Watch reported Friday that iPhone 5 production lines were in a state of paralysis for the entire day. However in a statement on Saturday Foxconn said production at the plant continued without an eruption. Why did Foxconn deny any strike or work stoppage? So in the modern era command and control PR just doesn't work in the west. In China it does because you have state controlled media and the public believes whatever you tell them because industry is the government is the people is everything. So I mean it's just the difference in having a free media and not having a free media. And China is having a hard time just as a culture acclimating to and always on social media enabled world and they think that they can get away with basically lying to the public about what's actually going on when the public very easily find out through other means. Quality control inspectors began brawling with workers and that led to some damage in an inspection room injury of several workers and even the hospitalization of others. It's reported that Foxconn factory management turned their back on the issue. Why would management not take any corrective measures? This is slightly puzzling the only answer that I can give you is they thought they might be able to get away with it. And I can't tell you anything other more more definitive than that because really only Foxconn knows why Foxconn did what they did. We can only theorize and I think the mentality must go back to the mentality that their PR thinks that they can control the story and deny anything went wrong. Last month a Foxconn plant in northern China halted production after a brawl. The latest reports from the China labor watch say workers are back on the production lines now. So will there ever be an end to the problems at Foxconn or is this a never ending cycle. And so this is actually I think is a never ending cycle with with larger implications in what you may even be asking me because I believe so I think that while human rights human rights abuses aren't going away in China at all. First of all I mean that that's it's it's going to take years for the country as a whole to achieve the economic prosperity that's going to allow them to unionize and kind of go through the same sorts of workplace improvements that America went through around the time of the Industrial Revolution. So and thereafter and it took a long time for America to do it. So you've got to assume with China being a much larger country population landmass wise with a still strong agrarian economy component to it that is going to take a much longer time for them to modernize and get better rights for workers. But beyond that I think that there's something going on here with Apple as a brand involved and this becoming a never ending issue. If you were to ask John Furrier here at the company the same question he might disagree with me but I believe the loss of Steve Jobs at the helm has actually encouraged this problem to rear its ugly head and in the press much more so than it would have had was he still alive because of the famed reality distortion field that exists around this is very charismatic man. And so he could you know wave his hand and problems disappear and you know people stop thinking about it and he's not here to do that anymore. The last time this came up the last time well not the last time but the last time there was a major outrage with the public and people were saying we need fair trade Apple. He went on stage with Kara Swisher talked a little bit about how we have a new Apple here. We have a new approach to manufacturing rights to the workers are in our hearts and we're better than anybody else and people believed it and the issue went away for a year. And since Tim Cook has taken the helm we've seen the drumbeat against Apple on their manufacturing processes come up with a regularity of once every couple of months. So I think that this is an issue to directly answer your questions and the issue is not going away. So is the answer then for Apple to cut all ties with Foxconn. You know what I think the the the answer here is for Apple to maybe go with production that's not in a you know in such an economically depressed environment I mean bring it back to a society that has labor standards China has no labor standards and that's the crux of the issue when you move manufacturing to a country with no labor standards no matter how much pressure you put them put on them as the buyer they will basically do what they are allowed to get away with by cultural and legal constraints. Well Mark thanks so much for joining us this morning. For all the latest in-depth coverage and breaking analysis on News of the Day keep up to date with News Desk right here on SiliconANGLE.tv


Day 30 of 30. Review suggested by both Marocat and Marie Taylor. While Kojo's suggestion of the lovely Paddington 2 received the most votes and would have been a really pleasant way to end this project, review came in a solid second and just felt more right. So for the final time in January of 2022, let's roll that intro. I've never known how to talk about review on this channel. I'm sure I've mentioned it here and there over my 150-something videos, but I've never given it the time it deserves because, frankly, there's too much. Where I really get started on the thing that was there the moment the week air review popped into my head during that sermon at the Fourth Universalist Society in the City of New York, where could I stop? I didn't know in the summer of 2018 that John Green had beaten me to the punch by a few months, or that YouTuber Gamezilla had rebranded as the Infinite Review earlier that year. But I did know that Andy Daley and Ko had done it in 2014, and so if I wanted to really talk about the show, I'd have to say everything. But with my mythical review of the Anthropocene Reviewed now slated to be a live reading in London at some point this year, it's clear that I've lost my way on those. Here, though, I've got a strict delivery date, a word limit, and 29 reviews posted over the last 30 days swirling in my head. Now, Forrest McNeil, the fictional host of review, would never have considered any of those for his own show. Nor this. In the introduction, he makes clear that he is a reviewer, but not one who reviews food, books, or movies. He reviews life itself, a much more noble cause than mine, to be sure. And like, I have a the life I review intro. It's the one that I will inevitably use for the wrap-up video I do on this past month, but I don't know, doesn't quite feel like life to me. Certainly not in the way that sleeping with a celebrity is, which McNeil is tasked with in episode 4. I talked 16 reviews back about why I don't really vlog like I'd intended to with the channel's conception. And well, no one needs to see that, and I don't think anyone's sad that they don't. It has certainly limited the scope of this channel, and the week air review is less interesting for that. I got literally hundreds of suggestions for potential review subjects over the past month, and only a few fell outside the general purview of media. And honestly, that made me kind of sad. Only one of them made it through, and that wasn't life. It was food. And look, I liked reviewing mushy peas, even if my toe still hurts from the 12-pound weight that fell on it as I set up my lights.  This is a fictional television show about a man who is absolutely not a role model. In the very first episode, he develops a cocaine addiction, and by episode three he has divorced his wife and completely blown up his life, yet the show must continue, and so he does. That I find it aspirational at all is about as red as a flag is going to get, but also I understand the cautionary tale. The fundamental lesson of the show is that blind dedication is a bad thing.  I thought about that a lot in the third week of this whole thing, which is when the exhaustion really started to hit me, and when it began to affect other parts of my life. For example, I gave up on fully taking down my lighting setup between videos, instead of leaving things on their stands over here, further cluttering up this little area of this little apartment and making my girlfriend, who's already irritated by my general disorderliness, even more unhappy with the state of things.  Maybe that's what kept me going. Has any character ever been as committed to their bit as Forrest McNeill, willing to lose everything for some vague notion of societal improvement by way of a patented five-star rating system? The things he reviews are often like the first and final dishes in a Good Mythical Morning Will It episode. Do you need to know that going to space is good, or that being a racist is bad? Not really. Though sometimes things are a little grayer, and there is some value in learning that orgies are kind of complicated.  McNeill is stereotypically wholesome, not charismatic, or even interesting, and that incongruity keeps you coming back. It's a trainwreck, and you can't look away. Of those many, many suggestions I received, one stood out as the type of thing that could have been featured on the show because of the guaranteed discomfort and the ways it could have spun off into weird conflicts. And the fact that I'm glad it wasn't selected laid bare the fact that The Week Air Review could never have been as interesting as I wanted it to be. That the idea of reviewing life experiences is kind of beyond me. The suggestion came from Julia, a lovely person so dedicated to our occasional discord voice chats that on Friday she risked not only her life, but that of everyone else on a plane by joining us over her phone's data connection during takeoff. And for that, we salute her. She suggested that I review prolonged eye contact with strangers on public transportation. Someone asked if that was safe.  Someone might say something to me, but they're unlikely to start something. And so my concern instead is that I just don't like being uncomfortable and I don't want to make random people uncomfortable. Maybe that makes me a better person, but it makes me a less interesting creator. I've always tried to bring myself into my work, even the simplest review says something about the critic. And I want to embrace that. But as I think about all of this, everything I have done against everything this bad fictional man has done, I wonder if there's space for me to bring more life into it as well. I don't know if there is or what that would look like, but if review was truly one of my influences, I should probably start acting like it or drop the pretense entirely. Four and a half stars. Thank you so much for watching and thank you particularly to my patrons, my mom, hammering Marco, Kat Saracotta, Benjamin Schiff, Anthony Cole, Elliott Fowler, Greg Lucina, Kojo, Phil Bates, Willow, I Am The Sword, Riley Zimmerman, Claire Bear, Taylor Lindy's, Andrew Madison Design, and the folks who'd rather be red than said. If you like this video, great.  If you want to see more, there won't be one tomorrow. But there's a whole lot that I just did. I'm going to take a little break. But I'll be back on Saturday when I do a live stream where I watch all of these in a row.  I have plans for February. I don't really know what happens after that. But for those who stuck with me through all of this, thank you. For those who didn't, okay, I get it. It was a lot. Time to edit.


Fire occurs in various scale and time. Most of them are related, if not all, are related with human activities in converting land for more productive activities like agriculture, plantations, et cetera. And the use of fire is the cheapest way to remove all these woody debris, residues, to clear the land before the new activities is taking place. And of course it will cause a lot of problems, especially if it produces haze. And certainly the emission of greenhouse gas occur at the same time. So we need to carefully quantify this if land use is being part of the way to reduce emission. Land use and land use change is a very big contributor in Indonesian emission. So it has to be factor in in the accounting of greenhouse gas emission. So the haze occurs, as I said, in the wrong time in the wrong place. And this is the place where economic activities is very high and very much affected. So it's got to the attention of media very easily. If it blows towards the Indian Ocean, the story will be different. With high credibility, you will have a good estimate of your emission because the emission factor and activity data are more accurate. But to do that, it is expensive. You have to employ better equipment, better estimate of those two things. And of course the cost is higher. And it might disincentify your effort. While looking at the magnitude of the emission from land use, this is a low hanging fruit. Meaning that the government can do it relatively easily and quicker in order to meet the target of emission reduction. So that's one thing that needs to be realized so that everybody is encouraged to do that. Doing simple thing but big thing and really significant to reduce emission. The main contributor is from Pitland and is in hand so much by fire. Because if you're talking about emission from land use from above ground biomass removal, it's only one-fifth of fire emission. One single fire can emit five, six times higher than vegetation emission. Well, the fire this year is very interesting because it does not happen in the El Nino year. Meaning that somebody somewhere is doing something and employ fire to clear the land even if it is not very dry season. In order to burn it easily, people wait until the weather is dry. The material to be burned is dry enough so it's easy to get rid of it. But if it is not that dry, there must be something that drives them to burn. Meaning that I don't know maybe the market is very attractive to quickly plan any agricultural crops to quickly producing the commodity to meet the demand of the market. Because people tend to think that all fire are accidental, it's driven by something which is biophysical. Market drives this a lot and the activities on the ground is much more complex than what we thought.


So, hello everyone, my name is Yi, and today we'll be talking about wrong-efficient secure multi-party quantum computation with identifiable words. This is a joint work with my advisor Kai Bin, and with my friends and colleagues, Bar, Hao, Mi Ying, and Yixing. So let's start with multi-party quantum computations. So here we have n parties, and the goal is for them to jointly compute a quantum circuit. So this circuit takes n inputs, so one from everybody, and it also has an output, so one for everyone. So at the beginning, every party holds their private inputs, and then they run some protocol. So they exchange some messages that can either be quantum or classical, and then at the end of the computation, every party gets their own output. A common security notion is called security with a board, which intuitively means that everyone learns only their own output, unless the protocol affords, in which case the honest parties would not get any output. Okay, so DuPois, Newton, and Samuel constructed such a protocol that satisfies security with a board. And similarly, for this more recent work, by Dulac, Brillo, Jeffrey, Mahans, and Schaffner. And well, this security notion is good, but there's an obvious weakness is that a protocol may afford, particularly the adversary might choose to abort a protocol whenever it feels like, and when that happens, we call it a denial of service attack. It's also well known that this type of attack cannot be prevented with the dishonest majority. And like I mentioned, when it does happen, the honest parties get no output. But because we are working under the plumbing setting, there is an additional issue, which is that all of the quantum inputs would be constant and lost due to a no cloning theorem. So here, of course, a denial of service attack, like I mentioned, it cannot be prevented. But still, we want to ask, is there still anything we can do about this? It turns out the answer is yes, because there's this other security notion called security with identifiable abort. So roughly, in instead of a protocol affords, everyone at least knows who to blame. So everyone knows who is causing the abort. So this notion was introduced by Isshai, Astrosi, and Zikas. And classically, it was satisfied by the GMW protocol, and their high-level idea is to use broadcasts and ZK-proofs so the honest party can prove to everyone that they did what they're supposed to do. But of course, now we are under a quantum setting, and we cannot broadcast a quantum state because, again, there's no cloning theorem, so broadcast does not work in quantum, and therefore it is unclear how to achieve the derivative identifiable abort from existing constructions, like I mentioned on the previous slide. And this is exactly our contribution. So our contribution is that we construct a protocol for computing any multi-party quantum circuit with identifiable abort using this primitive. So the first primitive we use is a classical multi-party computation with identifiable abort. And the other primitive we use is called a verifiable quantum full homomorphic encryption scheme, which was proposed and constructed by electric at all. Okay, and it's also worth mentioning that our protocol is wrong-efficient in the sense that the number of wrongs in our protocol with quantum mysteries does not depend on the circuit. But I want to clarify that this does not mean we have constant wrongs because our number of wrongs still depends on the number of other factors, such as one, the wrong complexity of this, and two, the number of parties, and three, the security parameter that we choose. So we do not have constant wrongs as opposed to this other concurrent work by Parthusset, Claude D'Angelo, Kurana, and Ma. And in fact, this concurrent work is also presenting in this conference, and they have a constant wrongs protocol for a multi-party quantum computation that they do not have identifiable abort. Okay, and the last thing that is worth mentioning about our protocol is that it is fair if we're underlying classical NPC if this thing is also fair. And what we mean by fairness is that either everyone gets their output, or nobody does, as opposed to the quote-unquote unfair situation, where the dishonest parties could potentially get their output first, and then they could abort the protocol so the others party get nothing. Okay, so that is our contribution, and now let me show you how do we make it happen. But first of all, I want to identify a challenge that is specific to a quantum setting. It's actually just sending a quantum message, even when we are trying to send quantum messages, we already encounter issues related to identifiable abort. So let me just demonstrate. So let's say these parties are running some protocol, and let's say player one is malicious. So he's a bad guy, so he just decides to withhold the message, so it's supposed to send a message to P2, but he does not send it. Okay, in which case, because there is no cloning, so this message is lost for good, and any information that has been stored in this message is also lost. So it is possible that we might not be able to recover from losing this message, and in which case we might have to abort. Let's say that does happen, then well, we'll have to catch the malicious, we'll have to catch the bad guy. And well, okay, so let's take a perspective of P3 for a moment. So of course, from his perspective, he can say that player one is malicious, for the reason I just mentioned, but he will not always be correct. Because there is also which other configuration, where P1 is honest, and P2 is malicious, and P1 sends a message to P2, but P2, after receiving the message, he falsely accuses P1 and claims that the message was not sent. And well, from the perspective of P3, these two situations are indistinguishable. So P3 does not know which of player one and player two is malicious. And therefore, we just don't have enough information to get identifiable abort in this particular case. So it almost seems like there's some kind of barrier to a panel to satisfy identifiable abort under a quantum setting. We can not even send quantum messages without running into these issues. But well, we're able to overcome this barrier, of course. So let me show you how to solve this problem. But before we solve it, let's first formulate it a bit better and actually make it well-defined. So the goal is, like I said, that player one wants to send a QB to player two, but we want to send it in a way that is secure with identifiable abort, meaning that if this process goes wrong, then everyone will know who is the cheater. So to make the discussion more effective, we're also going to put some restrictions in the adversary's power for now. So right now, the adversary can still drop outgoing messages that I mentioned. So he's supposed to send a message and he's just not sending it. Or the other attack, also I mentioned earlier, is that maybe player two is malicious, then he can take a message and claims that it was not sent. And right now, we worry only about these two attacks. There will be some other issues down the line, such as privacy or authentication, but we'll worry about that later. Okay, so this is the definition of this two-percent problem that I'm about to solve. So now let me present our solution, which is which we call routing. By the way, for this demo, for the purpose of this demo, let's say these two are honest and these two are malicious today. Okay, so as you might be able to tell from the name routing, all construction is inspired from computer networks. So when we talk about routing, then we are trying to route something from player one to player two, we are trying to route packets, and well, here is how we create our packets. So we tag the input, the player one's original input, run a quantum error correcting code, we run a QECC on the input to create our packets. The reason why we choose to use QECC is because we, as in our discussion earlier, we cannot avoid losing messages. And that is why we use ECC, we use error correction. So even if we lose some of these packets, as long as most of these packets do arrive at P2, then he will still be able to recover the original message just by decoding the surviving packets that he's received. Even if we lose some packets, as long as we don't lose too many, we are still okay. So that is our packet. And of course, we also have to talk about our network that we are going to use in our routing procedures. So we initialize our network as a complete graph between all of the players. Okay, so now we are going to route these packets from player one to player two. And well, of course, since there's a direct path here, then that is what we will try first. So we try to send these packets one by one from player one to player two along this edge until a packet gets dropped. Okay, if no packets get dropped, then of course player two gets all of these and he can just decode it easily and we'll be done. So right now, let's just say player two does this attack over here and now we lost a message. We lost a packet. And well, right, and we are still fine because we are using ECC. So again, we can go for losing a packet and now we know this edge is unreliable. So we get rid of it. We erase it. And then, just like how routing usually goes, we find a different path. So right now we find this path. And we try to send the remaining packets along this path. Yeah, I want to make a remark that this edge is between two others' parties. So packet would never get lost on this edge because player one will always send a packet and player three will never force the accusing of not sending one. So for the preference of this demo, let's just say the next packet gets dropped here. In that case, we erase this edge, but we do not erase this one. So generally, we only erase the packet. We only erase the edge where the packet drop actually occurs. And, you know, the process itself repeats itself. So next time we find this edge and we find this path and then we try to send the remaining packets along this path until well, there are two conditions where the protocol could end. The first condition is if P1 has no packets left, so everything has been sent. Or the other condition is that there might be no path exists from P1 to P2, in which case P1 would not be able to send whatever packet he has left. Okay, so let's talk about the first situation first. So P1 has no packets left, meaning that everything has either been received by P2 or had been lost somewhere in the loss in transmission has been dropped. Okay, so in this case, we actually have an upper bound on the packet loss, which is just the number of edges because recall, every time we lose a packet, we remove an edge. So, of course, we cannot lose more packets than we have edges. So we have this upper bound. And this upper bound actually corresponds directly to the number of errors in this error-correcting code, in this GVCC. And therefore, since we have an upper bound on the number of errors, therefore, if this were set up correctly, accordingly, to the upper bound, players who would always be able to decode the original message just from the surviving packets. So that is kind of the correctness property of our construction. So now, for this second case, let's say there's no path exist from player 1 to player 2, then, of course, the protocol we had to abort. So let's make it happen. So now, let's say this path gets broken and this one gets broken. And here, I claim that we always have identified our board. And let me explain why. Okay, so I've not stated a couple of facts. A couple of observations. So the first observation is that graph is a disconnected when this happens, because no path exists from one player to another. That, of course, gives us this right away. And it's disconnected in the sense that the path is made up of more than one connected components. So let's check number one. And then the other fact, I want to state, again, it's also an observation I made earlier, is that edges never break between honest parties. And this fact number two actually implies fact number three is that the honest parties are on the same connected component. And lastly, fact number one and three together will give us an identifiable abort because the honest parties, who, again, are on the same connected component, they can just agree to blend everyone else on different connected components. And that will give us identifiable abort. So that is our construction. And that is our solution to this QB setting problem. Again, we are putting some restrictions on this adversary. So here, I also want to make a quick remark that to deal with general adversary behavior, authentication code will help. But as for how exactly does it help, well, I will explain it later in this presentation. But for now, let's just take this construction of routing and let's try to build a multi-party quantum computation protocol from ideas that we get from routing. So the first step towards doing that is I'm just going to give a quick rundown on how the existing constructions are built. So as a really rough sketch, there are usually three phases. So there's encryption, there's evaluation, and there's the encryption. So let's talk about encryption first. So the encryption phase, it is if you are familiar with existing constructions, it corresponds to maybe first half or just first couple steps of only the first couple steps of what is commonly called input commitment or input encoding. But anyways, let me actually describe what it does. So the goal of encryption is to encrypt every party's input using quantum authentication code. And here I say encrypt because it's a non-fact, like quantum authentication implies encryption. So after this encryption phase, so everyone's input gets encrypted and now inputs are not protected in the sense that they are both encrypted and authenticated. So in other words, these inputs are now ready to be passed around between different parties. But we are not doing that yet. In the encryption phase, there's no quantum communications yet, even though there might be classical ones because the parties might come together and jointly generate the encryption key for this authentication code. And that is about it for encryption. So now let's move on to evaluation. So in evaluation phase, everyone just evaluates the circuit over the authentication code. And of course it involves quantum communications because at the end of the first phase, everyone holds their input and will have to make those inputs come together somehow. Okay? And at the end of the evaluation phase, everyone would hold a cipher tag of their own output. And then the encryption just does what you think it does. So if just everyone decrypts their output and go home with it and be happy and be gone. Okay. So that is how the existing constructions go. Again, this is just a very rough sketch. But let's see how does routing fit into this picture. Well, the first question we want to ask is of course, can we just incorporate routing into existing constructions and get identifiable abort? So here's what I mean as a candidate protocol. So we keep the encryption phase as then because it's local, it doesn't really need routing. And then in the evaluation phase, every time we are supposed to send a quantum message, we call the routing subroutine to send all of the... So for every quantum message, we just send it using the routing subroutine. Okay. And well, does this construction work? The answer is well, unfortunately not. And the really high-level reason is that the QECC would destroy the authentication. So here's what I mean. So we call that this is authenticated. So, and the purpose of authentication is to prevent the malicious parties from tampering with the underlying context. For land, when we tag the QECC of authenticated codework, then the individual packets are not authenticated anymore. So, when we try to call routing on this packet, then this packet can actually be tampered by relays. When I say relays, I mean it in the routing sense as in the parties that get to touch the packet between the sender and the receiver. Okay. So, the answer to this question is no. There are many reasons why this is no, and this is one of the main reasons. Okay. But still, from this no-go result, we still get some insight out of this situation. Then we let each of the packets have to be protected separately. So, why don't we just try to switch these two steps and see what happens? So, here we try to first do QECC, and then we encrypt. So now every QECC code word is protected. Every packet is protected. Okay. So now one of the reasonable, I guess, one of the natural strategies to tag is to just homomorphically evaluate the QECC.  So everyone decodes both encryption and QECC after the communication is done here. Okay. So, this looks promising, but unfortunately this build does not quite work. So, we actually have a complete attack against this construction. Okay. So, we call this an invented QECC attack. So, the idea is that this QECC can be prepared incorrectly because it is prepared by dishonest parties, at least some of them are.   So, take this circuit, for example. So, this circuit, it has, of course, two steam updates. One of the ways to look at this circuit is just that it takes two inputs, and then it takes the XOR of the two inputs and it writes the result on this MCR. And now, let's try to run this circuit under repetition code and see what happens. And, of course, we know that repetition code is not fully homomorphic, but it is squinting now for me to demonstrate this attack. So, let's go. So, zero under repetition code. It gets repeated three times, so it goes to this. And these two are not real cohorts of repetition code. And now, under repetition code, if you want to do a C-naught, you just apply it to every qubit. So, this goes to this, it does not change. This goes to this, again, it does not change. And this, after these two C-naughts, goes to this. So, this is the result. And now, we decode the repetition code, which is just by taking the majority vote. So, this goes to zero, this goes to zero, and this goes to one. So, this result is saying that the XOR of zero and zero is one, which is not correct, obviously. So, here we have inconsistent output. And this will break the correctness of multi-party computation. And therefore, this construction is, again, no go. But still, we can try to fix this attack and maybe get a working construction out of it. And this is exactly what we did. So, this is our construction. The difference between this and the previous slide is, of course, this middle part. So, what we do here is that we decode QECC here. So, we combine the package before we evaluate this circuit. And this will fix the attack that we had, because, well, even if this were invalid, then we can also just, we can always just handle it here, and we end up with something valid here. So, we are always evaluating over valid inputs. Okay, so, this construction, it has a caveat. It says, well, we cannot communicate after decoding QECC, because this is not in package form. So, we cannot, we can no longer send any messages. Okay, and if we cannot communicate, then it sounds like a job for a very, very, very viable quantum, for quantum FHE, and that is what we ended up using. So, to sum everything up and to fill in the gap, then we just go through our protocols step-by-step. So, every, everyone starts with their own input. They first create packets out of their own input, and then they protect the packets, each of the packets. And then they route this packet to how we call a server, which is just one, which is just a designated party. It doesn't matter who gets to be a server. We can always say the player wants a server. Okay, and then the server, he locally combines this packet and apply the circuit to get everyone's output, and then he creates packets out of everyone's output. And then after that, he routes everyone's output back to where it's supposed to go. And then the parties, once they receive this, they can just decode it and decode it to get their own output. Or at least this is the really high-level summary of our protocol, just a sketch. And there's a lot of very interesting issues that we are brushing under a rock here, unfortunately due to time constraints. So, I really, really encourage you to read our paper to get a more complete treatment on this. Okay, so now to summarize, we construct the first multi-party quantum commutation protocol with identifiable reports. And it's also worth... And again, our protocol is run efficient, and it preserves the failures from the classical NPC that we use. In terms of future work, one of the direction is to require more dishonest parties to cause an abort. So, here's what I mean. In our protocol, because we use a server, so let's say if a server were malicious, then he can just tag, you know, he can just tag everyone's input and then just goes home with it. And then the protocol will have to abort because everyone has lost their input and that takes just one dishonest party to cause an abort. Then the server. So now, we are wondering if there's a better construction that can tolerate more dishonest parties before the protocol had to abort. Okay, so that is one of the open problems. And the other open problem we have is that we are wondering about the possibilities for getting a constant run multi-party quantum commutation with identifiable abort. So, here's what we mean. So we are wondering if it's possible to get this and this at the same time. So of course, we've accomplished this and there's the other work that we have and there is work that achieves this. But then we are wondering if it is possible to get both at the same time and right now our construction is not constant run because routing is a bottleneck because we need to route the packet one by one to all the parties, to different parties. So, right now, and right now we're suspecting that it might be impossible to get both of these but it's something worth thinking about. So, thank you very much. And that is all I have.


In the earlier session, a question came up when Matthew was talking about all the things that are happening here from where all of the things that the Edmund Hillary Foundation are supporting and referencing the social entrepreneurs and non-profit people in this room. And the question kind of came up, well, what is this stuff, I mean, all the stuff sounds nice, you know, restorative justice, regenerative agriculture, impact investing, social enterprise, ecological healing, et cetera, et cetera, it all sounds quite nice. But what do these things all have to do with each other, except that they're all kind of like in the category of a good thing. So I'd like to actually speak to that a little bit. What unifies all of these areas of activism and why is it that when you, even if you are passionate about composting toilets, why is it when you meet somebody whose passion is reforming the prisons or saving the whales, why is it that you recognize immediately that this person is an ally? And the way I look at it is that we are all serving the same thing. The emergence of what I call a new and ancient story. And that we're all part of a transition from the old story, the story of separation into a new story, which is also an ancient story, the story of interbeing. So whereas separation understands, it's our mythology, our meaning, the dominant culture. It understands life and self and the world in a certain way as understanding us as separate individuals in a world of other as these kind of bubbles of psychology bouncing around in an alien universe of generic particles and deterministic forces that must be overcome in order to have a good life. While being in that old story comes through the domination and control of the other. The competing other beings out there or the random forces of nature. So the old story looks at human civilization as this kind of triumphalist progression from a state of primitive superstition to a state of scientific knowledge and technological power over reality. And that story says, but says it not very convincingly anymore, not compared to 50 years ago says that someday our triumph will be complete. And we will not even need nature anymore because we will have devised technological substitutes thanks to the miracle of whatever the steam engine or, well, that didn't quite work. So maybe it was electricity. And while that didn't quite bring about paradise either. So maybe it's nanotechnology or genetic engineering that's going to be the final frontier. New frontiers is about a very different kind of frontier that recognizes the limitations and even the futility of this story that's bringing us not to paradise. But as Matthew mentioned in some of those slides, bringing us to helplessness, bringing us to the decay, the degeneration of the ecological basis of life on Earth. Bringing us to a place of, wow, maybe we didn't understand how to do all of this. Maybe we don't know. Sending us therefore into a space between stories, as I like to call it, where that story of separation doesn't work anymore. Where we see that it's brought about crisis that cannot be solved from that story could be on a personal level where the story of how to be human, how to have a life, how to have a marriage, how to take care of your health, how to engage the world of work. You had a formula to do that. You followed it maybe very dutifully. You went to the doctor for your annual checkup and then you got sick. And the arsenal of modern medicine couldn't help you. And perhaps that was your initiatory experience into a new story, where, well, first a space between stories where you're like, I don't know what to do. And then you start in that empty space, then a new story can emerge. So everyone enters this in a different way. And our civilization as a whole is also entering a space between stories. And one thing I appreciate about New Frontiers is that it's not an attempt to push the existing frontier a little farther. One thing that, you know, like these Silicon Valley guys, like I kind of know the typical Silicon Valley mindset. It's another version of Masters of the Universe. We know how to do this. We can do anything, anywhere, because we have the technology. We have the know-how. But the founders of this project are coming to it with an understanding of the limitations of that way of approaching the world, and therefore a kind of humility that recognizes we don't know and we're willing to learn. Another thing that Matthew mentioned that I feel is a very important aspect of this transition, in his answer to the last question, he said that it all comes from an understanding that life itself is a gift, which is different from the story of separation attitude toward the world and nature as something that we extract from with force. But other cultures really understood that the world and our lives are a gift. That we didn't earn this planet. It wasn't through our hard efforts that we created water. We didn't earn the sun. We didn't earn our breath. We didn't earn our mothers taking care of us. Recognizing that brings about gratitude, because if you know that you've been so richly gifted, then you feel grateful, gratitude being the desire to give in turn. And that leads to a view of life, not as a headlong competition to maximize self-interest, but as a journey of the gift to discover what is it that I'm here to do? Am I a gift to the world? How can I give forward from this rich gift that I've received? And that is what unites so much of what the people in this room are doing in whatever social enterprise or nonprofit, or it might be just very humble work with your hands.  But all of these things are based on the spirit of the gift, because you're not asking how can I take the most. You're asking what is the best way that I can enrich, regenerate, and heal the world around me. Because in a new story, see in the story of interbeing, using Tick-Not-Hahn's word for it, in the story of interbeing, that's not an act of self-sacrifice, because we understand that we're not actually separate individuals in a world of other. But that we are the holographic mirror of all that is. That anything that happens in the world is happening to us. That anything we do, we ultimately do to ourselves that the consequences of what we do are inescapable. That no wall or fortress or security fence or surveillance system or attack drone system can keep out what is happening to all beings in this world. Therefore, your well-being depends on the well-being of all. So your service to the other is also a service to self. The division between the heart and the mind disappears in the logic of interbeing. And that is one of the aspects of the reunion that we are approaching. So that might be a bit theoretical. I don't know, I know a lot of people here are very hands-on. But I wanted to give this kind of a big-scale picture to what's going on here, why we feel so united. One thing that I was, so okay, I'm going to also relate this a little bit to the ceremony that we experienced this morning, which I deeply appreciated because sometimes at these things, like a lot of times now, it's become fashionable to begin your conference or something like that with, you know, you trot in the North America, you trot in a few Native Americans, and they do some invocation of the four elements, thank you very much, and then they get sent out, and it just reeks of tokenism. But this felt, it felt sincere. And I felt, like I felt really welcomed. And during the short break after that, I heard Diti, hope I'm trying to pronounce that right, Diti talked about, he was speaking very passionately about the importance of learning the Maori language. And the mind of separation says, well, why is that really so important? You know, I mean, given all that's happening on this planet, given climate change, given that we might not even survive the next 20 years if you believe some of the more alarmist scientists, isn't it kind of a waste of time to devote? I had this conversation with a leading environmentalist in the States.  Because I've been talking to him about my passions, about some of the things I'm interested in. Yeah, I'm interested in climate change, and I'm also interested in restoring the sacred aspect of the masculine. And I'm also interested in restorative justice and restorative circles. And I'm also interested in various kinds of holistic medicine and the intelligence of water and plant communication and pan subjective metaphysics, you know, and all these other things. And he's like, you know, that's all very nice, but come on. None of that is gonna matter when the sea levels rise 30 meters. None of that's gonna matter when the temperature rises 10 degrees. Like you got to put that off and deal with what's important here. It's a call to arms, a call to hear is the enemy right now. And I tried to communicate to him that that mentality is actually part of the problem. That the habit of the problem solving strategy of first find an enemy and then go to war against that enemy is the same psychic energy as the war against nature, the treating of all of the world as an enemy or a competitor. And that the solutions that come from that contribute to the ground conditions that give rise to the problem to begin with that climate change or global warming is kind of a symptomatic fever of something else in my research into climate change. I've discovered that we have under emphasized the importance of local ecosystems to maintain global equilibrium and that and instead put all of the emphasis and identified green as being related to carbon made that the enemy and invoked kind of a war mentality against that enemy that lends itself to global solutions and empowers global institutions. But in fact the capacity of intact healthy ecosystems to absorb carbon even if you do want to look at it in the car through the carbon lens even that way the capacity of intact ecosystems to absorb carbon is much greater than anyone had imagined. And that if we had if we had planet wide healthy forests, healthy mangrove swamps, healthy sea grass, healthy peat bogs like all of these ecosystems, we could handle a lot of emissions without a problem. But instead these are being degraded everywhere. Which means that even if we cut carbon emissions to zero the planet would still die because it would be like like you're degrading all of your tissues and organs all the time and and suffering fevers and someone says well the room is too warm let's turn down the temperature in the room that's the problem but the problem is much deeper than that and it is unavoidably local because there is no blanket recipe for how to take care of your local places the land that you live on. That knowledge is fundamentally local and it requires a political shift and a conceptual shift that re-empowers the local which takes me back to the Maori language because language is more than just a an arbitrary system of representational signs that could be replaced with some other arbitrary system of representation of representational signs. Language is intimately related to the land itself and the way and this is what I was getting when I heard the the speakers doing the welcoming dialogue at the beginning I'm like there is power encoded in these words encoded in even the the prosody the cadence of these sounds that is necessary for the thriving and the survival of our of our of our world in part language because language ultimately where does it come from it comes from the land itself which is why even a language that has gone extinct can come back if people have a close enough relationship to the land and you see when people migrate to a new place their language changes New Zealand has its own special accent if that were left undisturbed if we cut off all global communication that maintains homogeneity around the world then New Zealand English would gradually migrate over centuries to something that it wouldn't be exactly like Maori was because the land evolves too but you would recognize it as of this place so this means that restoring regenerating and celebrating and spreading the Maori language is an essential part of caring for the land the place of New Zealand which is the work that's necessary in order to do New Zealand's part in healing this planet and also if it can be done successfully here it serves as kind of a template or an example or a precedent for other places to do that everywhere I go I ask myself and this is the question I did in that little dialogue what is the unique gift of this place to the world every culture has every nation every country every place has a unique gift to give toward the healing and the evolution of the whole and every place I go I'm always curious what is that gift of that country just as you might ask yourself what is my gift what is the gift of this country so and I'm not I don't want to be presumptuous because I've only been here for a week but I feel I felt like I was starting to get a sense of it New Zealand is very fortunate to have the indigenous language still pretty strong you know it's still a living language people still think in that language even so it it can be restored a lot more easily than some of the extinct languages of North America and that language encodes knowledge that you might not be able to to quantify or explicitly write down but it induces a mindset it induces a state of being that that in which someone intuitively knows how to live in harmony and mutual benefit with the land here so I was really heartened to hear we went to a another ceremony a couple days ago where there were some government officials and they one of them was talking about bringing the Maori language into the schools and making it a mandatory subject for for all school children in New Zealand I'm like wow that's kind of that's like reverse colonialism you know because it wasn't that long ago where where I mean this happened all over the world where speaking the indigenous language was was discouraged or punished even in schools I'm not sure if that happened here where like kids would get hit if they spoke the indigenous language like that and now it's getting reversed and I think part of that reversal you know like maybe there's some elements of tokenism or okay let's respect other cultures because that's a good idea but there's also I think an element of humility coming in here because as our story breaks down the dominant story the story of separation and we realize we don't know how to do this anymore our tools are making things worse and worse help we become more open to the stories that are carried by other people so the reason that and this is happening in America it's happening many places the reason that people are now drawn to indigenous knowing indigenous ways of life indigenous knowledge indigenous language it's not actually and should not be out of guilt or playing the victimology game it's because we recognize that there's something that we really need to know on behalf of the planet and that this knowledge is still preserved especially in New Zealand where there's something like 15 percent um someone told me that 15 percent minority like that's that's enough for New Zealand to be kind of a precedent center and this is something that has not yet happened on earth the turn of an entire modern nation state to say yeah let's really incorporate the suppressed and marginalized indigenous thread of our society and another inspiring thing is that the minority also like this is part of the gift of New Zealand too like there's such a welcoming inclusive attitude that is hospitable to this um emerging humility so that's kind of what I'm getting about New Zealand that the unique gift of New Zealand has something to do with the healing of the colonial rift and that's something that really inspires me about about new frontiers too that it hasn't that it's not like just giving lip service to this but that there's a real effort um and um humility in in seeking this unification yeah I would just maybe suggest that as you spend the next four days here that you that you explore and cultivate this feeling of alliance and maybe kind of test drive I didn't say too much about the story of interbeing but that is I believe what unifies us and so to kind of take that on and and and see how does that help you make sense of what you're doing what you're drawn to and what draws the other people here together what is because I'll just say one more thing if that's okay the world is built on a story money is a story law is a story politics that's a story when the story changes the world changes the dominant story is in crisis consequently everything built upon that story is falling apart and we have the chance to step into service to another story that's why we're here actually because out in society you're going to be called crazy naive irresponsible impractical if you follow that story in your life because no one else is doing it well not no one else but it's kind of a new thing it's really important to come together in a place where everyone around you says yeah I'm following that too I mean I spent you know so many decades on this lonely journey and I think many of you might have experienced this as well this loneliness this self-doubt is it really okay to live my life this way and maybe even getting pulled down as if like you come up for air and you have this this epiphany or this experience that says yeah this is how life is supposed to be this is how the world could be you're shown an experience of deep connection or intimacy or cooperation and and you recognize it as real you recognize it as a promise of what's possible but then the routines of modern life the financial pressures of modern life and your own internalized habits pull you back under the waves and you almost forget what it was like above and then you claw your way up again and yes here I am back in reality and then you get pulled down again and maybe you went through years or decades of that like I did but now what's changing is you come up for air and there's somebody else there too on the surface and you hold each other up before you both get sucked down but then you come up again and there's four people or eight or ten and now we're creating a living mat in the new story holding each other in that new story because this isn't something that one enlightened guy comes and does and leads everybody else to it this is a process of group awakening of collective awakening where we all hold each other in this new story because this consciousness that has been cultivated for so many centuries is now rising to the surface and bringing us up with it and so we can hold each other in this space and that's why it's so important to come together sometimes and and abide in a story of interbeing for a few days so that that experience imprints it self on us and creates the ties and the networks and that's why it's so important to meet some of these new people and and with the curiosity of how are you my ally and what is your gift so that that the uh floatation mat that we're creating together isn't just limited to this place so there's an internal imprint where we where we really immerse ourselves in this new and ancient way of perceiving and then there's the external imprint through the relationships that we cultivate here and carry forth into alliances after the event yeah so thank you very much


Good morning everyone, Basel Trappman here on this Friday the 10th of March. We're looking at the Dow down 34, way better than it was earlier on and 32,220 actually earlier this morning it went to 32,038. This is a really important moment because we want to see some kind of a rally just to show that there isn't that intense something that we saw yesterday that continues. It could still come later in the day, but so far this is a good balance of very important time and price sequence. So we're looking at the S&P now down 14 was down all the way to 3878 is now at 3903. Not a bad turnaround. We're looking at the QQQ and the QQQ is the NDX100 trading vehicle wait come come here we go one two three there it is down $1.53 at 291.16 let's see yeah it's got all the way to go to 296 to even touch the 200 period exponential moving average IWM the Russell 2000. Very weak yesterday together with the XLF the financials and now it's down 256 and 178 not a good sign. Looking at gold goes at a really strong bounce it's up 30 points in 1864 and the reason is remember yesterday we talked about the dollar I said my leg D on Wednesday I think they're going to be a peak D and this allows gold to have a bit of a bounce and the dollar maybe to digest gains after the requisite peak D in the 30 chart so that's kind of what we're seeing the dollar is down 71 ticks a one or four 56 crude oil crude oil is was down earlier now it's down is up 30 yes there we go it's up 30 cents at 76 but it's been very weak lately now here's the big issue and we'll talk about this when we get back for the target technicians now look at money flowing to treasury bonds for safety up 287 I mean these are bonds 104.94 in the TLT this is something to watch and it's in a range remember I said I think that yields are in a range there's a good chance that they could pull back a little bit there's a lot to look at the VIXs up 54 cents in 2015. How's it happening here for the target technician hour coming up in three minutes time check out my opening call my day to use that a lot to discuss and we'll be there send your questions my way at Baselchamp and at tfnn.com love to get them from this coming hour


I'm currently in the Jerusalem Ring neighborhood of Piscat Ze'ev and I thought that while I was up in this direction where I'm not that frequently, I would make a video because I saw someone recently posting in one of the Facebook groups asking how close is the Shua Fath refugee camp to Jerusalem? Where is Shua Fath exactly? So that's why I came to this little bus depot on the edge of Piscat Ze'ev which is literally as close as you can get. You can see that the sort of ring fence of the neighborhood is right behind me. There's tons and tons of security cameras and those buildings you can see right behind me there in the distance as well as the fence. That is those buildings are actually already in the Shua Fath refugee camp. So what's interesting about the Shua Fath refugee camp? Well for one it's the only refugee camp in Jerusalem.  Shua Fath is in an unusual position. Firstly where is it on the map? If you go onto Google Maps it's not actually listed. If you really want to know where it is it's not a state secret. You can turn on satellite view and the impression that the security barrier makes is very distinctive so you can see where it is. It is entirely surrounded by the Israel West Bank security barrier. Now as I mentioned in previous videos and as I think Israelis have really tried hard to get across for the majority of the course of the West Bank security barrier it is not a big fence like you see around Bethlehem and like you see around the camp here. You can see I'll try to take a couple more shots if it's not clear from the background.  I don't know which one is actually the border but that's literally where you can see how close from where I am standing and yet at the edge of Piskat Zev through the refugee camp. There's a wadi in the middle. It's probably about I would say 200 meters maximum more like 100. Now you can't go in and enter Shua Fath refugee camp. It's illegal for Israeli civilians to do so to the best of my knowledge that's because it's classified as area A. This is where it becomes interesting slash problematic. There are some neighborhoods of Jerusalem that are within the boundary of the Jerusalem municipality including Shua Fath refugee camp as well as Kofar Aqab which is just the time before Ramallah after the Kolandiyah checkpoint. These are classed as being within the Jerusalem municipality boundary. They are supposed to be as much Jerusalem as Bani Huda Street but practically speaking the municipality can't go in there. It doesn't go in there if it attempts to provide waste collection services etc to the residents. It's frequently met with a hostile and sometimes even an armed response. You can see those buildings they're big buildings some of them are like 10 stories high. There's a checkpoint at the entrance so many will pass through that checkpoint every single day to come and work in Jerusalem but it is a Palestinian refugee camp in Jerusalem right to the south of Piskat Zev to the east of the actual Arab neighborhood of Shua Fath and I think that's about as much I can say about it while attempting to stay somewhat politically neutral.

Mendoza, Kwaikaniwe, Yainugua, Yainugua. The fbwoz haapini kwaiko mezi niwa niwa luka na kwaikaniwe mwa. We bwuzia izini wu kwaikaniwe maganiwe hoj worrying. This is the beginning of renewed hope for the people of Nigeria, and particularly for Biasa state, because we believe that Thinibu will bring expected development. He has assured the people of Biasa state that he has conquered the Atlantic ocean in Lagos. The twin problem of flood and erosion that have troubled the Niger Delta for years will be given, will be conquered in Esteno. There were so many nesias that this day will never be, and now is history being made in a nation and second place. We are waiting for the dividends of renewed hope to be demonstrated in our lives, and we believe that it will be done. I have no doubt in my mind and my brain that certainly Thinibu and his team of technocrats will actually deliver the dividends of democracy to Nigeria and Biasa. The first thing I need the president of this is to ensure that there is standard, that justice and equity. These are the basic things that he needs to bring to Biaa. When this is on ground, every other thing can flow.


What's up everyone takedown here welcome back to another video today. I'm gonna be sharing with you my top platinum trophies on the PlayStation 4 Let's get right into this So as you guys know I am a trophy hunter on the PlayStation 4 and I'm always trying to get games that I can not only get a Platinum trophy for and earn a lot of trophies along the way But also just to have fun and I've been clearing up a lot of my backlog lately So I've been grinding out and trying to get a lot of Platinum So today is a list of some of my favorite Platinum's that I've gotten on the PlayStation 4 Up first is a way out. A way out is a co-op based campaign style game That involves you playing with a friend And that's what I'd recommend rather than playing with a stranger play with a friend just to have the whole experience of the campaign and the story because the story is very emotional and Just to experience that with somebody that you know Would make it a lot better in my opinion because that's what I did and I thought the game was awesome Basically one player controls one prisoner The other player controls the other prisoner and you go through the story you learn about the past you escape from prison And then you learn about each other's common interest and goals of what you guys want to do after prison Once you escape even though you are on the run a lot of things happen along the way and at the end You guys basically go against each other. So it's very interesting. I'm not going to give any spoilers other than that If I had to rank this game I would literally rank it nine out of ten because the story is just so in-depth and so crazy That's I was really impressed by it and I would definitely recommend it If you're into not only getting Platinum trophies and earning trophies with somebody But it's definitely something fun to play with a friend and you don't even need to own this a game If your friend owns this game, you can have them share it with you and you will get the trophies along the way So not both people playing this need to own the game only one person needs to own the game They can invite you and you'll earn the trophies as well The next game is Marvel's Spider-Man This for me was one of my favorite games on the ps4 period And the main reason for that is not only is it a really easy Platinum to get it was only took me I think two weeks to do so it doesn't take very long But the story is so amazing and so in-depth that it's just really really well put together It's one of my favorite games on the ps4 Not only that the web slinging abilities the mechanics for web slinging are so advanced And you get to do stuff that you couldn't even imagine to do so it's really awesome The different suits you get to play as Spider-Man are really cool the different gadgets You get to use all of the different villains along the way throughout the story that you get to take down into feats are awesome I honestly feel like they should have added a few more But at the end of the game there was a huge cliffhanger that Basically implies that there will be another game in the future And I really hope that they decide to do this because this game was so successful That's once the ps5 comes out once that hits I feel like that's what they'll plan on doing is making a second game Of course you have Marvel's Avengers coming out as well later this year So with Marvel's Avenger and Marvel in general creating more video games I very highly hope that there is a second Spider-Man game in the near future and also Stan Lee makes an appearance in the game He has a small little cameo and that to me was an awesome touch for them to add And I think since the passing of Stan Lee if they were to do more video games like this in the future I really hope that they include more Stan Lee cameos. So this game here if I have to rank it I'm gonna rank it nine out of ten as well. The next game is fire cry 5 Which is the first fire cry game that I played the reason that I decided to get it Not only was it on sale like most of my games are whenever I purchased them But the story behind it and the trailers that I've watched with the whole cult aspect in America I thought that was very interesting and where it is in America. I can't remember if it's in Colorado or not or Basically, there's a lot of wilderness and a lot of hunting and fishing that you can do While completing the game the story is so amazing and so in-depth and you can also play the campaign with Friends and co-op, but you can also do it alone to get the platinum you have to play the whole game on your own and do the whole story mode and Because there's a lot of trophies for a story mode that once you pass a certain part You have to do that solo. You can't have a friend So what I planned on doing is I got the platinum trophy and I plan on helping my other friend get it in the future But if he wants to get the platinum, he's gonna have to play it on his own first run through as well The game is so awesome. I wish the only difference is I Kind of wish they would have added more customization options to vehicle other than paint I really wish you could customize your vehicles or even the guns a little bit more Make them your own instead of just purchasing a wrap or purchasing a customized version of the gun to be able to create your own I think that would have been awesome, but the game is epic. I'm gonna give it an 8 out of 10 from me The next game it keep me along the fire cry theme is fire cry new dawn new dawn is the continuation from fire cry 5 originally new dawn was supposed to be a DLC for fire cry 5, but they realized that new dawn was so big That's there was no point for them releasing it as a DLC for fire cry 5 Just a year later. They decided to release it on its own as its separate game Which I'm glad they did because it's a post apocalyptic game after the events of fire cry 5 and It's kind of a shorter game Of course, it's just supposed to be a DLC to begin with but it's a little bit larger than what a DLC usually is and typically is So I would highly recommend it. It's not too hard to get the platinum compared to fire cry 5 I can't remember if there's any online trophies for new dawn, but So me the trophies for new dawn to get the platinum were a lot easier than they were for fire cry 5 This one here. I'm gonna give it an 8 out of 10 as well Next is gonna be need for speed 2015 and for me that I absolutely love racing games if you do as well I highly recommend it It is gonna take a little bit of a grind to get all of the trophies because I think you have to reach at least level 75 To get all of the trophies and platinum Some of the trophies along the way are a little bit tricky to get and it is gonna take a lot of patience But it's a lot of fun this game here Once this game the game after was need for speed payback, which I thought was a little bit of a letdown This game here need to be 2015 They have a lot more customization options for your vehicles a lot more vehicles in the game to begin with and the story has a lot of a cinematic aspects to it because it's live action instead of just having the Capture suits on people it's actual live actors in the cinematic events of the game So this game here. I'm gonna make it a 7 out of 10. It's one of my favorite need for speed games that I've ever played Next is gonna be Grand Theft Auto San Andreas This is one of my favorite childhood games back on the PlayStation 2 days But back then I never beat the game I got maybe about halfway mark, but I never made it to beat the game I just whenever I was playing back on the ps2 I was more into getting the cheat codes and using them and just having fun and just playing the game Like that rather than trying to beat the campaign mode and trying to beat the game itself Once it came out on the ps4 I'd literally paid maybe one or two dollars for it because there was a huge discount sale and I went through and The one thing I will say is if you get Grand Theft Auto San Andreas you plan on getting the Platinum for this game Do not I repeat do not use any cheat codes until after you've beaten and gotten the Platinum because it's going to Disable all the trophies moving forward So once you use your first cheat code in the game You will not be able to get any trophies from that point on even if you hit save or go back and create a new file All cheat codes once you use them you disable all trophies moving forward So the game to do it without cheat codes It takes a little bit of a grind you're gonna have to spend the money to make money And you're gonna have to use that to buy ammo buy armor buy a whole bunch of stuff to help you progress through the missions It's honestly not that hard to do Takes a lot of efforts and a lot of grind work, but you can definitely do this within I want to say I beat it within a week And got the platinum because there's a lot of them one of the mercenary missions were extremely difficult Just take your time check out online if you need to walk through but this game here One of my favorite Grand Theft Auto games of all time Platinum's not too difficult tastes a little bit of grind work I'm gonna rank it an 8 out of 10 from me Next is gonna be two Lego games and he's gonna be last two games on my list up first is Lego Marvel superheroes The game itself is amazing It's a great story and it has so many of the Marvel superheroes in it that it doesn't follow one of the movies It's all original story and I think that was very incredible for them to do The part part to get the platinum basically have to play the story mode Which is all the levels one run through then you can go into the center hub and go around I think it's New York City and you get all the remaining collectibles And then you have to play a second run through of the whole game all of the levels as a free play Which means you get to select all the characters because there's certain areas That's only certain characters can go and you can't get all the collectibles in story mode You have to go back and play free mode to get them Once you unlock everything and get all the collectibles You'll end up getting the platinum and this is one of the Lego games that I'd highly recommend it because it's a lot of fun And it doesn't take too long to get the platinum this Lego game I'm gonna rank it and eight out of ten as well It's a lot of fun as all these games on this list are and the last game is Lego Jurassic World It basically follows the first three Jurassic Park Movies from back in the day and then it has the first Jurassic World movie in it as well So it basically follows loosely the movies of how the events of the movies were But once you finish just like the Lego Marvel superheroes Once you finish the first playthrough of the story You can go back through each of the worlds and get the remaining collectibles And then you can go back and play in free play mode and beat all of the levels again And get all the remaining collectibles and by doing that you'll get the platinum So this game here just as fun as the Lego Marvel superheroes. I'd give it a 7.5 out of 10 So these are my top platinum trophies that I earned on the PlayStation 4 These in my opinion are the games that I would recommend for if not only you are a trophy hunter These are definitely easy trophies to get and easy Platinum's to get But if you're just a gamer that likes to enjoy getting games and earning trophies along the way These games in my opinion are a lot of fun So I'm gonna leave this video here comment down below What are some of your favorite platinum trophies you've earned on the ps4? I've earned a lot more than this But these are my most favorite ones that I've earned because they were a lot of fun to do So I hope you guys enjoyed this video. Please take care. Peace


Hi, I'm Tony Celia and I'm going to be running a Yes Let's exercise at the forthcoming Applied Improvisation Network in Spain. Come to my workshop, you'll love it, you'll learn how that Yes Let's can be used for social change.


So, welcome everyone to our quick lightning talk where we go into more detail on what Thierry was already talking about this morning and the partnership that Jonathan was introducing yesterday. So the big news for today for us is that Open Infra and Patricia are partnering in providing metrics to the Open Infra projects. And so a quick introduction of who we are. My name is Georg Link, I'm the Director of Sales at Biturgia and Biturgia as a company has been providing metrics and data and insights to open source projects and foundations and companies for 10 years. So this is our background, do you want to? So Biturgia is as old as the Open Stack Foundation or Open Infra Foundation, we started at around the same time. And so my name is Thierry Carras, I'm the General Manager for the Open Infra Foundation and yes I'm very proud that we struck this partnership to make Biturgia our official metrics partner because I think metrics are an integral part of what's needed to build the sustainable community and we'll get back to that. So Biturgia and Open Infra are about 10 years old both and we have been working together for quite a long time. We have been providing dashboards and metrics for some of the projects and we're expanding that now through the partnership and we have the reports on the community in the past on how the Open Stack community is doing and being inclusive and welcoming and showing that. So we have a shared passion, the Open Infra Foundation with the four opens on building really good communities and Biturgia, we are committed to open source, we have 100% open source in everything that we do, all the tools that we use and provide to our customers and partners is also open source so we have that shared DNA, that shared vision of building strong and healthy communities so that's our background. I don't have anything to add to that, Biturgia is really for us the model of an open source company that has open source right because we are seeing a lot of commercial open source companies that are not necessarily following a model that is compatible with our vision for how software should be developed for open source software should be developed so openly developed, very transparent, very inclusive of others and it's great to be able to partner with the company that is as old as we are and engaged with the same values. And so with this background we are on a mission to provide community metrics and insights to all Open Infra projects now, that's the vision for this partnership and the specific goals is that we want to work with the communities on the metrics that are most important to them. Yesterday we had a really great session with the Zul community where we were digging into the data and there were several questions for like with reviews, code reviews that are being delayed. Is it because we are slow in responding to submissions or is it because the original author is not responding? Questions like that that we want to get to the heart of it and that's where we need to work together as with the communities. So we are combining the metrics knowledge that Petrugia has built on how to get the data in the metrics with the community knowledge and the day-to-day information about how the collaboration is going. And the goal is to build sustainable communities. Without the data in the metrics it's really hard to know how things are going especially as communities are growing. Yeah and it's again we've been working together for a long time but this is bringing it to the next level. That's why this partnership is more than just having dashboards for all of our projects. It's also embedding Petrugia's expertise in exposing the right information out of that data and clearly they're the world leader in open-source metrics and we are very happy to be able to rely on their expertise whether than reinvent the wheel in-house or like we want to work with all the other open-source projects out there that are providing value in their domain of expertise. We're not like about reinventing everything in-house so being able to partner with them on those metrics and making sure that they will be embedded in those project communities listen to what the type of insights that they are looking for. That's why the community metrics corner is right there across the room from the forum where a lot of those development discussions and feedback loop between users and developers are happening because they are the ones that need those insights to make the right decisions in developing their projects and to me metrics is really a part of building a sustainable community if you don't measure you can't really improve and so that's why going forward we would make sure that any open-infra project would get the full support of Petrugia to drive their metrics and therefore like striking this partnership is giving us this long-term deep partnership that will ensure that all open-infra projects going forward will benefit from that expertise. And that's also why Petrugia is now a silver member of the foundation to really strengthen that bond and that relationship and that engagement and work together. Now Terry already talked about the metrics corner that is just around the corner over here. Yes. Yes. Exactly. So it's a lounge. You're welcome to come there at any time and talk with us about metrics about the dashboards project sustainability. We can look at the dashboards together that we have for Zool and Cata container and Starling X and then you can also just use the space to hang out and relax. So let's dig into that a little bit more. We want to help understand how the projects are doing how the community is working together. And so that's why we have the dashboards and we are here for that open dialogue. So that's why we have sessions which we'll talk about in a moment to really walk through and explore the dashboards and show the features so that after the summit hopefully you will continue to look at the dashboards occasionally to see how things are going just as a health check. We can talk about metrics. There's more that we can do beyond the dashboards. We can do DI surveys analysis if someone really wants to go deeper on how things are going. We can do trainings if you want to know more about how to use the tools or how to build a metric strategy or how to customize it to get the visualizations that you want to refer to regularly. We can develop that custom dashboard maybe even do annual reports. We have a lot of ideas for what we can do as part of this partnership and we want to know what is it that you're interested in also. So stop by, hang out, relax. Here is the schedule for today and tomorrow. So right after this session we're going to look at the Cata containers dashboard and do a deep dive. And then starting X later today at 3.30. And then tomorrow we have birds of a feather sessions so interactive conversations over here in forum A05 I think for different topics like understanding and fostering sustainable projects and eliminating common barriers to contribution in our communities and then also how do we build a metric strategy for our communities for our engagement in the communities. That's great content. I try to attend some of those if my schedule allows. All right that brings us already to the end of this lightning talk, a very brief overview of the partnership and what's coming down the line in the upcoming months. We can actually take questions if you have some. Just stand up and go to the mic so that the question is recorded on the session here. No question? Well, thanks. Awesome, thank you.

What is going on guys? Welcome back to the channel and I appreciate you being here. Today I am back with another Fortnite video and today we're going to go through the community's most wanted costumes and outfits for Fortnite. But hey, to put that aside for a second, I am giving away 2800 V-Box to win. Subscribe if you're new around here, hit that bell button to turn notifications on, leave a thumbs up on this video and drop a comment down below. Winners are picked and contacted via direct message so good luck guys. Ok so I put out a tweet asking you guys who follow me over on Twitter. If there was one costume you could wear within Fortnite, what or who would it be? The response was crazy and some of the suggestions were amazing so I've decided to make a video on some of the most popular replies. As crazy as it seems, things like this ain't impossible because of how big Fortnite is right now and the fact they add costumes for us to purchase. I mean it's how they make their buck, which is fair. Most of us would pay for our favourite costumes if we could wear them in-game, there's no doubt about it. So we're epic game partners to bring us costumes of our favourite heroes or movie stars and to split in the profits while also advertising their brands. It makes sense that things like this could happen in the future and I for 100% sure would welcome it. Ok so let's get into some of the suggestions and first up we have the streamers and celebs. Many of you guys mentioned a ninja costume. Now we can see this concept on screen now, this was made by Pegalev, I believe that's how it's pronounced, I apologise if it ain't and this does indeed look cool. Others suggested Dr Disrespect. This concept which I don't actually know who made this, it does look incredible though. I mean I'd rock this, I don't know if I'd pay for it but I'd definitely use it. Now due to how popular the ninja and Drake stream was, it's no surprise people suggested Drake too, Drake running around in Fortnite would be hella funny for sure. Another legend celeb wise mentioned more than once is Michael Jackson. Now this I would pay for and happily so, especially if you had them epic soundfix too. Now if you could pick a single celeb to dress up as in Fortnite, who would it be? Let me know down below. Moving on and this one I know would be very popular with certain folks, while others won't know who it is. The name is Handsome Jack and for those of you who are Borderland fans will know who this is straight away.  Let me know. A few more popular names which I know some have gone crazy over, now as much as I wasn't a fan, I know of these because of how big this cartoon was and still is. Plus many of my pals still love it and that is Dragon Ball Z. So the three characters that kept popping up were Goku who is now the main dude within Dragon Ball Z. Now I know many of you guys would rock a Goku costume for sure, that would be amazing. We have Vegeta who I also know is a big name within the show and a fan favourite too and we also have Frieza who I really don't know much about but he looks super cool and I'd even be tempted to part with money to look this good in game. Super cool costume ideas here for sure. Now if there is a Dragon Ball Z character you would like to look like in Fortnite not mentioned here, let me know who that would be down below in that comments section. Next stop and the second most popular reply to my question and that was Star Wars characters. Now this I do know a bit about and I knew people would mention Star Wars, the main three dudes people want to be as you can imagine Luke Skywalker is one of them, he for me although he is the big boy character of the franchise to me, he doesn't quite look unique enough to want me running around dresses him I especially wouldn't pay for it but the next two are completely different Darth Vader, now we are talking people. One of the best looking movie villains I have ever seen and I would 100% pay V-Books to look like him. I can see it now, I would look great running around like this dude and the last Star Wars character people wanted to see was Baba Fett, this I can also understand truly unique and a true legend to the franchise. Who would I take though Baba Fett or Vader in my opinion would be Vader for sure but I wouldn't be unhappy with Baba Fett, someone else mentioned the fact of having a lightsaber theme pickaxe man that would be insane. How about you guys who in Star Wars would you like to rock in Fortnite, let me know down below. So last up we have a list of characters from what has to be the biggest franchise of individual characters on the planet and that is the Marvel and DC universe characters. I had no doubt names were going to be thrown at me when it comes to dress up in Fortnite so let's go through the most popular ones from DC first, Batman. Man dressing as a Dark Knight would be amazing. We have Superman who is my all-time favourite comic book hero ever, there is no question I'd use this and happily use this for the rest of my Fortnite career and we then have the Flash another popular DC character. Now I like the Flash's costume but I do prefer the reverse Flash's costume to be honest with you guys, not going to lie but I'd take Flash's costume for damn sure and have a popular villain up next, the Joker. Well what can I say, this again I would love to see. I wouldn't take it over the previous three DC characters mentioned but I'd happily dress up as the Joker for sure. Now I'm too Marvel so first up many people mentioned the Hulk. Now as much as I'd love to see this I don't know how it would work, dude is absolutely enormous and you'd obviously be at a disadvantage using such a costume which would make you literally five times as big as a normal character but I would still love to see it in game. The second most popular Marvel character was no doubt Spider-Man. Many of you guys suggested a Spider-Man costume to me, I mean I love Spider-Man why not and I'm pretty sure it would get some sales but why not add Venom and Carnage to it too, that'd be absolutely awesome. But the two most popular Marvel characters mentioned were Black Panther and Deadpool, no doubt these were because of the recent Black Panther movie which was epic and the new Deadpool 2 trailers we are seeing. These for me personally though wouldn't be my first choices but I mean I'd still definitely welcome them to the game for sure but they definitely wouldn't be my first two choices. I would take Batman and Superman way over these two for sure.  Some of the suggestions were truly incredible and I'm sure we would love to see them all. I'm going to leave you with one last question and that's if you didn't reply to my tweet, if there was one costume you could rock in Fortnite Battle Royale, who or what would it be, let me know down below. If I had the choice of a single person I could dress up as in Battle Royale, it would be the legend of WWE called the Ultimate Warrior. This I would happily go bankrupt for, would be absolutely incredible. On that note guys we have come to the end of the video, thanks as always for stopping by. If you enjoyed the video leave a like really this helped me out and hopefully people I will see you on that next one.
