Hi, everyone, Joe for jazby's case breaks calm coming at you with another three box break of 2022 fennec's under wraps autographed baseballs. This is a version two 2.0 one spot gets you nine players right there and Remember any and all multi-signed autograph spots go to that one spot right there Pretty nice checklist though. All right, and big thanks to this group right here for getting in on it So let's multiply you by nine. There's one already two three four five six seven eight and nine So you can see there's 171 spots right there. So let's Gather all the player names Put them into a clean list Then let's grab all of your names Put you into another clean list And now let's randomize you a player After five and one six times one two three four Five and a one sixth and final time about Tristan down to Josh Then a different tab here and then five and a one six times for the players one two three four Five and a one sixth and final time I'd yogi bearer all the way down to your dawn alvarez. It's good checklist ladies and gentlemen. All right So here's just the list as is Steven Herrick any all multi-signed baseballs and then I'll alphabetize by your first names Cuz so you can see all of your players gather together all at once All right, so Dan, there's your group of players right there Jason K Jason Shepard last pod mojo Josh Oliver and Steve has a bunch of players here that group and this group and this group and Those that group right there. Good luck Steve Todd There's your group. It's a good list there Tristan Another good group of players and the rest is for Tristan as well There you go gang. I'm gonna pause the video We're gonna see if there's a for the trade window and then we'll see if there's any trades and when we come back We'll play a little play a little guessing game. Who am I with three baseballs here? So stick around we'll be right back. All right. Welcome back everybody. No deals were done. So Let's get to it All right, who am I I'm a retired baseball player right-hander Lifetime 308 batting average 2127 hits 427 home runs and Over 1,300 runs batted in played for one two three four five teams my entire career 12-time All-Star an NL rookie of the year a ten-time silver slugger award winner and a fourth ballot Hall of Famer With 83% of the vote who am I a Hall of Famer that was drafted in the 62nd round. I Think that's probably the latest Round where a Hall of Famer has Come from I say that right What yeah, is the game over I don't know why you say things Rex Rex Rex guessing Tony Gwynn Who definitely was not in the Hall of Fame With the fourth ballot. I don't think he had 427 home runs and definitely did not play for five teams Not Vladdy, but Kevin M's got it. It's Mike Piazza Tony Gwynn was definitely not a 60-second rounder All right, so there are the authentication sticker right there. It should be maybe one more for from fanatics. Yes There's Mike Piazza's autograph. He hits you with a With an HOF inscription as well nice and that's Steve Herrick With Mike Piazza You'll get the that card in there as well. Oops. Sorry hit the microphone.  All right an active player He's one of those bats left, but throws right kind of guys in Four seasons He has a lifetime 296 batting average 98 home runs and 283 runs batted in and was an all-star a world series champion in ALCS MVP and all MLB first teamer a two-time all MLB second teamer a silver slugger and a rookie of the year Who am I? Not Austin Riley.  Nine points in a minute. It's pretty crazy. Nice. That would be pretty crazy. No, they're just milking clock now They're not gonna do it. That's amazing though 13 threes apparently Not awesome Riley not Peter Lanzo. Yeah, not a world series champ not Juan Soto Not Gilo Who writes left-handed but throws right-handed just throwing that out there. Okay, Jay chefs got it. That's right.  I mean Clyde wasn't there long enough So, honey, there's your dawns out alvarez is autograph. I think it goes this way. Yeah, the Y's right there There's the fanatic sticker or there's the fanatic sticker. That's the MLB official sticker as well double authentication Love it At the your dawn alvarez card in there as well Good guest Jay chef And that goes to Josh Melton of the your dawn alvarez spot. All right final box coming up Lazy short. I don't know. That's that's pretty good for a short auto. We've seen worse. That's for sure Don't it was just an official major league baseball now. Let's see who it is. All right. Who am I? I Bat right and I throw right. I've got a lifetime to 61 146 home runs and 380 runs batted in second round pick 60th 64th pick overall in the 2016 major league baseball draft Signing bonus of just a mill Rookie season was 2019 One NL rookie of the year. Who am I? Not a coon you not Bryce Joe Baxon and Jake's got it Pete Alonzo He's gonna hit you with a 2019 NL Roy inscription nice. I think we had him a couple breaks ago, but it was not I Don't think there was an inscription. Maybe a different inscription something like that Nice one.  I'm Joe for jazby's case breaks calm. Thanks for playing I'll see you next time for the next one. Bye. Bye


So, hello everyone, a very good afternoon. And hopefully you'll have had your share of caffeine, or tea, or whatever's your preference. But I'm Divya, and I work at SUSA. And... I'm Bill Mulligan, and I work at ISA Valent. And we're gonna be speaking about, you know, the 10 biggest mistakes you shouldn't make in open source. And that's partially inspired by what we've experienced, and what we have committed as, you know, probably mistakes in our open source journey. So, before we go ahead, we would like to introduce ourselves because not a lot of you all know us. So, as aforementioned, my name's Divya, and I work as a technical writer at SUSA. Also, been around in the ecosystem for around two, two and a half years right now, working on a bunch of open source cloud native stuff. But, yeah, most of my, you know, career prior to SUSA was in the proprietary side of things. And this journey has been really eventful, which is why, you know, Bill and I sort of thought of giving this presentation about how folks could actually avoid the mistakes that we made. What about you, Bill? Yeah, so I'm Bill Mulligan, and I work in the community around Cilium and EBPF on the open source side. Fun fact about me, I actually don't know how to code at all. My degrees are in biochemistry and social science. So, if you were inspired by the keynote this morning and want to get more involved in a project, but don't know how to code, don't worry, there's stuff for you in here, too. But before we go ahead, we just want like, you know, show fans as to who's actually contributing to open source or who's actually trying to get into contributing to open source, like, oh, that's a fair one.  This is what every kindergarten or every basic preschooling activity teaches you to say or be pleases and thank yous. Unfortunately, when it comes to, you know, adult interactions, I think we kind of forget them. So, one of the very first mistakes that you could possibly make is to not actually be decently courteous to the fellow human beings that are across the world or, you know, across the computer.  So, you should definitely, definitely be courteous and show basic human decency. Yeah, this is just like kindergarten, say please and thank you to the maintainers, to contributors, to every single, everybody. Right, and then when we speak about, you know, the fact that, I mean, not just showing basic human decency, we also need to take into consideration that the human being at the other end is probably going through, you know, some personal struggles of his own or their own. And it's important that we take that into account, be considerate and be empathetic. Especially, I'd like to throw back to this incident during log4j wherein we had a huge outcry about the, you know, log4 shell issue and not a lot of companies after that even took up the actual mantle of having contributors, you know, our sponsoring contributors to that project. So as much as we love for, you know, open source to be more considerate and empathetic towards the contributors and towards, you know, the projects that we put out, we also want for the reverse to happen with us, right? We want for companies, we want for organizations to be empathetic when they're interacting with us too. But in the next slide, we realize that it's complicated because again, human interactions are complicated, humans are complicated. So when we talk about, you know, interacting with another human being maybe from a different part of the globe or maybe from a, you know, not a different ethnicity or maybe a different race, it's very, you know, easy to take for granted the fact that, you know, that person is, you know, not doing this as part of their day job and is there for you as a maintainer or as a contributor. So targeting that person via various avenues, whether it be via DMs or emails or LinkedIn messages or where have you, it's very easy to forget that that person probably might be too busy to reply or might have a life of their own. So we have to be considerate when messaging or, you know, putting our concerns across. And there have been several instances, not just within the Kubernetes community or within the Israel community or any of the cloud native projects that we work with but across larger, you know, the larger open source ecosystem where this has not been the case. Yeah, another fun fact is maintainers actually do go on vacation too. Sometimes. Yeah. And talking about being considerate and empathetic, how can we actually forget about, you know, folks coming in and asking maintainers or contribute, like, you know, people in the contributing side of things. So why a particular feature was not implemented? So, you know, it's very easy to actually say, hey, I actually want feature ABC to be implemented in this project. Why don't you go ahead and do it? But the thing is it is a lot of effort and open source projects are community driven. They are not, you know, motivated by a single person's or a single company's desire to move forward. And it's essential that we take into account what's best for the community as well. Like, yes, your feature is important and it's probably important to you as a person or you as a company or an organization. But you also have to put the interest of the larger community at heart while making suggestions and be nice and show basic human decency while requesting for features because it's not easy. A lot of us do this apart, I mean, as part of our day jobs and also outside of it.  This is a very great example of how contributors amongst the community in itself were not, you know, showing the basic human courtesy of actually, you know, allowing another contributor to step up because communities thrive when everybody thrives. Try everybody within the community thrives. So if you're not allowing for other contributors to step up or if you as a maintainer are not providing an avenue for other contributors to step up, it's clearly a miss and it's clearly a lack of empathy from your part that you are not ready to delegate or let other people step up and do the work. And it eventually will not board well for anyone because taking a lot, taking on a lot of the work, taking on a lot of the, you know, pains for a project will sort of lead you into burnout. So nobody wins if you are not actually helpful or, you know, allowing others to step up and take on roles within the community. Within the ecosystem, there is already a guideline, at least in the cloud-native ecosystem, we have a basic guideline in place in the form of code of conduct. And that really helps set the baseline for how community interaction should be. Although most of the times we do find that events and, you know, even just, you know, interactions within the community are adhering to these, there have been cases where this is not followed. And oftentimes it leads into unwanted scenarios where, you know, you have to take people aside and scold them like they're little children and that's not something anyone of us as adults cherish. So being considered an empathetic is absolutely important when you are getting into a community. Yeah, and please follow code of conduct. It's not just applying to hear at KubeCon but anytime you're contributing or interacting with any CNCF projects and open source in general. The next thing is what I was talking about, thinking that only code contributions matter. As I was saying, like, I don't know how to code at all but I still make a lot of contribute contributions to open source upstream. For example, what I'm doing here is I'm adding a blog post to the Sillium blog, you know, helping spread the word and the message and helping other people find what's going on in the Sillium community. Other examples that I've done in terms of contributing is creating templates, so sharing like the knowledge that I have or, you know, documenting different things. Divya's an actual technical writer. I just write a couple sentences so people can find things. Yeah, and for those who think, I mean, at least I've heard a lot of this recently that, you know, code can be self-documenting. Please do not fall prey to that fallacy. It's not the case. Code cannot be self-documenting for everyone. There are a lot of new contributors and only when, you know, you have good documentation can you drive adoption for your project or your product, you know, if you're talking from the propriety side of things. And beyond that, there's lots of different ways to contribute besides just code. A community grows through lots of different things. One example is bringing people all together at events like KubeCon or in more local, more regional events like the Kubernetes Community Day program, bringing adopters of cloud-native technologies together on the local level. You can become an organizer, a program committee member, someone who's just helping, like, spreading the message and tweeting about that. And that's all contributions that you can do that don't require you to know how to code. For instance, I gave a talk actually earlier today about the Kubernetes Community Day program. If you're interested in learning about that, I highly encourage you to check out the recording afterwards and if you have any questions, also feel free to reach out to me about getting involved in the KCD program. The next thing that you shouldn't do in open source is trying to start too big. You don't want to come in with a 16,000-line PR to a project. Maintainers aren't gonna be happy and it probably won't get accepted. Also, it's not a great place to start because you might not know everything about the project. And actually, it's a lot easier to smart with smaller contributions. These are actually my first two contributions to open source and actually Kubernetes too. If you can't quite see what it is, the one on the upper left is fixing a broken link and the second one is adding in a documentation entry in the Kubernetes glossary. So both very small changes, but helpful for people looking for information later. Yeah, and I think your first code contribution was similar. So I started out with contributions to docs. So basically, it was a small JavaScript date change. It was to add the dates to the JavaScript code that was there within the docs. But it was a relatively small change compared to the things that normally you would expect of a contributor to do. But we hate to say that please don't think of any contributions as big or small. And try as far as possible to reduce the manual overhead that a project is facing. Because those are important areas too. Given that a lot of people try to work on trivial edits or trivial parts to a project, but automating it will help like a lot of manual efforts for the manual efforts to be saved rather when the maintainers actually have to work on reviewing and everything else. So don't try to start too big. Even minute contributions help. And focus on trying to reduce the manual overhead overall rather than targeting small edits or small parts of the documentation. Because as you grow in the community impact matters a lot. The kind of work that you do matters a lot. And making trivial edits will take you so far. But you should also go beyond that and try to help the project in general with reducing the manual overhead that they have. Yeah, the next thing is as you're starting to contribute, there are a lot of resources in a lot of projects and you should do your research. I know a lot of maintainers get slightly annoyed by the questions that are asked repetitively over and over. If you saw the keynotes this morning, we have about 1,000 maintainers supporting 7 million people. Unfortunately, that doesn't scale out. This is why we try to document a lot of things and you should try to see what is out there kind of look around. The things that I would recommend doing if you're approaching a new project and trying to figure out how it works and how you can contribute to it. The first one is read the read me. It's called read me for a reason and it's a really good place to start. The second one is if you're in a project slacked, a lot of them have pinned items. Those are important things, usually ways to contribute, style guides, important resources, who you should contact. Look at the resources that people have pointed out for you to use. Attend a meeting. This is a great way to get that one-on-one connection. So if you think you want to move forward with something and you do want to get in contact with them, a lot of projects do have meetings and the last one is most projects and all the ones under the CNCF should have a contributing file. If you want to contribute, read that. It has the ways that you should do it, probably how to set up your environment if you're contributing code or how they want to style things if you're contributing documentation or other ways that you can contribute to the project too. And it's usually a great resource to start with. At one last item to whatever Bill has said, so plus one to whatever he said, but over and about that, if you find things missing in the contributing or in the readme files, that's a good first way to contribute to the project too. Go ahead, make that suggestion to the person who is probably leading the SAGOP, leading the areas of efforts for that particular project and talk to them about including that thing in their particular readme or in their contributing so that it becomes easier for the next generation of contributors to start contributing to that project. Yeah, for instance, so when I joined ISOvalent, I wanted to add some things to the website, but I realized how to contribute to the website wasn't documented anywhere in the contributing markdown. And so I added that section to the contributing doc so that other people when they want to contribute to the website in the future have the resources to be able to do that. Like I said, when you go about this journey, you are bound to require help, all of us do. It's not like a lonely journey where you have to go all alone and reach the top or whatever, because like I said, a community thrives when all the members thrive. So people are available to mentor. It's just about you seeking them out. One of the major, I think, mistakes that people assume when they are experienced is that, hey, I already have a job. I already know XYZ about some part of the tech industry. I don't need anybody coming in and telling me about other stuff. I can probably figure it out if I read the documentation alone. But that's a major flaw, because what tends to happen is the human interaction or the value that a human interaction can bring is grossly undernoticed by most of us. Primarily because in more academic or corporate setup, mentorship is not something that's actively encouraged. We don't have programs for that. So in open source, it's different. We have actual programs and we have informal ways of delivering mentorship to people who are in need. So CCART mentors, CCART people who you want to actually, who you think have a good grip of the ecosystem, ask them for help. Obviously ask them in a nice way, because they're humans too, but it's instrumental in getting your journey off the ground because what a human interaction can do to your career is something that no reading docs can. So that's one thing. And we have several internship programs. It's not just Google Summer of Code, Google season of docs. These are just four that we remembered, but there are several of them. And fun fact, I think a lot of them also accept experienced members within the industry. It's not just for college students. So take the opportunity of seeking out mentorship and actually taking help from somebody else in the ecosystem so that you can navigate it better. Yeah, and the cool thing about all the programs listed on this slide is they're actually all paid too. So you can get paid to learn and contribute to open source. For instance, right now in the Cilium project, we have a mentee working on improving the security of the release project for all of our projects, which is pretty cool. But beyond just like paid ones or those programs, there's other programs across the ecosystem too. Yes, so this is like the Kubernetes release shadow or shoutout that I have to give because this was one of the things that I was part of. And it's a fantastic program to get involved in for new contributors and experienced alike because you get to have a grip of the ecosystem. The Kubernetes project ecosystem, of course, not the entire CNCF one, but you understand the ecosystem better because there's someone to hand hold you and show you the ropes rather than you trying to, you know, climb it all alone. So this was one of the instrumental programs where I met a lot of friends and I made a lot of them there in the audience. So shout out to them and shout out to all of them who gave me a chance because I wouldn't be here if it was not for them. The next one is not attending meetups or events. When we were talking about, it's also important to meet people in person. These are a great way to do that. Create that one-on-one connection, find a mentor or someone who can help you out with the next project. Being here at KubeCon is one of those ways, but you don't have to travel halfway across the world to meet other people in the cloud native ecosystem. As I said before, there's probably a KCD in your area that you could attend or you could go to one of the CNCF meetups in your cities or a city close to you. For instance, I think this is a really great example. So he attended KCD Banglaroo and attended the Kubernetes contributor summit there. Well there, he got inspired to start contributing to the project and became a maintainer of one small part of the Kubernetes project. He was then able to give a lightning talk at KubeCon in Valencia in May. So you really see this from attending event all the way up to becoming a maintainer and giving a talk at KubeCon. It's really, this whole spectrum all kicked off by attending and being expired at the local level. So it's a great way to meet people and to start your journey. I actually also have a similar story. This picture is from me in Barcelona in 2019. What I didn't know, the person just to the left to me was gonna be my future boss. So I met Liz first on a bike ride when I attended KubeCon and when she tweeted, I'd actually already met her a couple of times on bike rides and it made it easier for me to find my job that I surveil it. Yeah, so we basically wanted to give a shout out to our own talking like this like inception at this point but one of the things that we wanted to give a shout out is the fact that we wouldn't have been here had it not been for others who shared their learnings with us and others who had not shared their mistakes with us and had held us and attended these and had we not attended all these events. So that is one aspect of it but also it provides a nice segue to the next one wherein they shared their learnings with us. They shared their mistakes with us whether it be via talk, whether it be via a blog post or whether it be via a video. All of them shared their learnings with us and we tried to pay it forward by doing the same thing. So I think Bill writes a newsletter every fortnightly basis and I try to write a newsletter every week, not successful in terms of the fact that I stick to the routine but I try. And that's my way of paying it back forward. I mean not paying it back forward that sounds wrong but paying it forward. So that's one thing that you always need to do when you're in an ecosystem because once you're at the states where you are able to, you know, you know something, you at least know how to contribute, it's your job to lift others up as well. And it's absolutely essential that you pass on the knowledge to another contributor maybe experienced, maybe new because everybody stands to learn something from another person. I learned a lot by working with Bill on this one. So it's all about sharing what you know and learning from others in this case. Yeah, and sharing your learning is another great way to do non-code contributions. So these are Divya's and I's GitHub repos and the different ways that we've shared our learning. So as she said, we each have newsletters. We've also given different talks like this one to share a learning with the community. We've written blog posts and spoken on different types of podcasts. Each one of these are great ways to help educate other people and get them involved in open source. One of the things that you, that I probably am guilty of earlier on in my career is to not experiment at all. Probably that's also because of the fact that I had a job and this is not distinct my previous employers, PSA. So I was also in a job where I wasn't really allowed to experiment is not the right word but I didn't have the time to experiment because I was doing my night of fire, going back home, doing the daily routine. But when it comes to open source, we have the option to choose our own adventure. I think Taylor was the one who actually said it in today's keynote that open source is all about choosing your own adventure. So that is one thing that's afforded to us as contributors within open source. You get to choose your own adventure. You get to choose where you go next. And if you don't take that opportunity, it's gonna be sad because every single interaction that you have, every single talk that you attend could be the next thing that you get interested in and tinker on. So my journey sort of looked like, first I was an electronics engineer. I was not even part of the IT industry. And then I jumped into IT and worked for like, I think about eight years as a systems administrator. The only reason I came into open source was because of Kubernetes and trying to explore the Kubernetes project. And from there onwards, it has been experimenting with one project after the other. And I'm not gonna say that I know a lot, but I know a little more than what I did when I started out. And that's a lot because I really think that it gives us so many opportunities to actually grow not only in our careers, but as people because in the previous, like I said in the previous slide, it's a learning journey and you get to learn not only from the technical side of things, but also from a holistic personal growth side of things as well. Yeah, and from my side, like I said, I had absolutely no idea what IT was. I sat down at my first day at my first job and they said, open the command line that I didn't know how to do it. Obviously I've come a little bit from there, but not very far, but kind of on my journey, how I got from each job to the next was actually following all the advice that we're doing. So when I was at my first job, I started attending local meetups and events that eventually landed me my second job. While I was there, I started to share what I'd learned through the open source ecosystem and had non-code contributions to the ecosystem. That helped lend me my job at CNCF where I made lots of friends, attended, cube counts all around the world, shared my learnings, and started doing my research. And it's ultimately how I ended up here at ISOvalent working in psyllium and EBPF communities. My whole journey has been an experiment in what I was interested in.  The bots haven't taken over yet. So, you know, why not make friends along the way? Why not, you know, join people along for the ride? Because otherwise it's just gonna be a long, long journey with nobody to accompany you. So I met a lot of, you know, my friends, current friends in the cloud native community. And it also definitely helps solve the problem of not having to, you know, not having adult friends when you're 30. So like I basically solved that problem as well. But having a community around you means you get to learn, you get to make friends, and you get to have a lot of fun at events like this. Yeah, and I think the best part about open source is once you leave a company, you still get to work with the same people. You don't have to leave your friends behind as you move from company to company. They keep going with you on your open source journey. So make sure you make friends along the way. I think there's like this code that commonly gets thrown around. It's a different company, same team. So I think that's the ethos of open source because a lot of, you know, the same folks run around in the same circles. And it's always a pleasure when one person succeeds because you get to share it as a community. But that being said, I think we are at the end of a presentation. And thank you so much for having the patience to sit through it, and we hope you enjoyed it. Yeah, thanks for coming. Oh, also if you have time for questions too, we're happy to answer any. Yeah? It's actually not a question, but maybe slide five. I think you could add, when there is a template for opening an issue or a PR, like, feel the template, just don't like forget to say half of whatever is required. Yeah, I think that goes along with doing your research. A lot of projects do have templates for issues in PRs. They're not just there by mistake. Yeah. Anything else? Yeah, we have a question back there. Two questions back there. Yeah. Hi. As someone who created an open source project and then sort of left because it was just too overwhelming, how would you recommend dealing with people who come with a great feature but accepting that feature just leads to more work for you in the future, because they leave and don't come back and maintain the feature? Yes, you're talking about like drive-by contributions where yes, you can accept something, but then it's up to you to maintain it. I would honestly just be clear with them upfront and be like, this is a great feature. Unfortunately, we don't have the support maintenance or we don't have the support required to keep maintaining this. We're happy if you have your own fork of this, where you do that, but unfortunately we can't maintain it upstream unless that person wants to maintain it. I think it's easier if you're just transparent from the beginning and maybe defining it in your roadmap what is and isn't part of the project. It's sometimes tough when people hear that their feature or what they really want isn't gonna be accepted, but I think it's probably better that than burning out the maintainers and it's easier to do that from the start of the process rather than trying to pull it out way later. Yeah, I kind of agree with that. Setting expectations right at the start with the help of a roadmap and with the help of proper scoping because that is sort of what helps set the expectations and set the baseline for how people can interact with us. But if there are situations where that arise and where such cases arise and people are coming and asking you for a feature or demanding rather, I don't think there is anything wrong with them asking for it, but you need to communicate to them and that's also a very good way for them to invite potential new contributions. So if they want to start maintaining an upstream fork of it or whatever, they are also welcome to do it or if they are okay with helping out with the maintaining or creation of the new feature or enhancement, they are welcome to do so, but they will have to expend the efforts that require any further work on it. They are welcome to build a community around it and that could possibly pave the way for newer contributors to chip in. So again, setting the expectations right and communicating it right at the start is important. So I completely agree. Great presentation overall, I love it. There are a lot of people that I imagine here that are trying to get into open source. So I love the tip about you don't have to be a developer or provide code contributions because I am not a developer. That being said, can you explain how you both are so awesome? I'm not, easy answer. I think the most important thing is it's a community and you create, build and maintain the community that you wanna be a part of. And so I think the key thing is if you want a great community, you have to be fun, you have to be helpful, you have to encourage other people to contribute and if you continue to do that, those are the people who will be attracted to you and if you instead create a bad environment, those are the people who will be attracted to you. So it's up to you what type of community you want to contribute to and you want to be a part of. Yes, so going against the laws of physics with just a bit like attracts like at this point. So you embody the values that you want to build in the community yourself and I think the rest follows. Like if you're transparent, if you're truthful, if you're honest about what you're doing, I think those are the kind of people that you attract and those are the kind, again, setting expectations right at the start, right? So, yeah. Okay. We're being axed, we're being thrown off the stage right now. Apparently we weren't that awesome. Thank you for coming. Thank you so much. We'll be here for questions if you want.


The Anglo-Saxon invasion and migration into ancient England inhabited by Celts is a defining feature in the history of England and Britain in general. But what if this didn't happen, and there was no influx of Anglo-Saxons into ancient England? The vantage point of history allows us to look back on events after they happened, but this creates a problem. Reading these events after they happened gives the impression that they are a foregone conclusion, like what else could have happened? In Neil Ferguson's appearance on the Tim Ferriss podcast, he goes through the importance of asking the following question, what if things happened differently? In other words, history is not a foregone conclusion. So very briefly, the Anglo-Saxon migration or invasion into ancient Britain refers to the period just following the Roman withdrawal of Britannia in 410 AD. When groups of Angles and Saxons from places such as ancient Germany and ancient Denmark, this general region in the northwest of Europe, Denmark, Netherlands, parts of Germany began flooding across the channel into ancient England. Frisia was one region and parts of modern Germany and modern the Netherlands, where the Anglo-Saxons are thought to have came from. They were initially invited by the ancient Britons to defend them against attacks from the likes of the Picts and the Scoti, but they then began flooding into ancient England at an alarming rate. If there was no Anglo-Saxon settlement of ancient Britain, the greatest consequence would have been that the English language wouldn't have been formed. English itself is a West Germanic language and its name comes from the Angles themselves, although English itself over the years has been influenced by French, Latin and also Old Norse. English is a Germanic language or West Germanic language and Old English itself is actually very Germanic and in fact a synonym for Old English is Anglo-Saxon. Prior to the Anglo-Saxons settling in ancient Britain, the people of Britain called Britons spoke a Celtic language called Common Brythonic or variations of this language for the most part. If there was no Anglo-Saxon settlement of ancient Britain, Brythonic and other Celtic languages may still be the dominant languages in these lands. Of course Celtic languages are still spoken in many parts of Britain today, Welsh and Scottish Gaelic being two examples, but English is largely the dominant language on average. The genetic makeup of the English people would also be different today without the Anglo-Saxons migrating and invading into ancient England and in fact the term English of course wouldn't be used. The people of the British Isle study found at large parts of the eastern and central and southern parts of England form a single genetic group with between 10 and 40% Anglo-Saxon ancestry. However these people still retained the DNA of the ancient people of Britain. In certain geographical regions of England, the genetic legacy of the Anglo-Saxons was most pronounced. One study that looked at the East Anglian population found that 38% of those people's ancestry is derived from the Anglo-Saxon migrations. Another consequence if there was no Anglo-Saxon migration or invasion into ancient England is that there wouldn't be or probably wouldn't be a legacy, a Celtic legacy in Britain today. The only reason that Breton, one of the Celtic languages still spoken today, is spoken in Britain is because during the Anglo-Saxon migrations and invasions over centuries essentially, some people from ancient England and ancient Britain migrated into Brittany today, bringing their Celtic language common Brythonic with them. People migrating from Britain into Brittany is the reason why Breton is a Celtic language spoken in Brittany today. What other consequences would there have been if the Anglo-Saxons hadn't settled in ancient England? Please let me know your thoughts in the comments below. Obviously the Kingdom of England wouldn't have been formed with the same name but would the Kingdom and the geographical region that we call England today still have been formed? Like I say please let me know your thoughts in the comments below. Thanks for watching and I'll speak to you next time.


There will come soft rains, by Sarah Teesdale, read for lippervax.org by Hannah Dorse. There will come soft rains, and the smell of the ground, and swallows circling with their shimmering sound, and frogs in the pools singing at night, and wild plum trees in tremulous white. Robins will wear their feathery fire, whistling their whims on a low-pence wire, and not one will know of the war, not one will care at last when it is done. Not one would mind neither bird nor tree, if mankind perished utterly, and spring herself when she woke at dawn, would scarcely know that we were gone. End of poem.

Fucking terrible But, yeah, so yesterday was awesome Today I've given back a lot of what I got yesterday But, we still have Power Hour my friends I've also got, so I lost on my AM ratio Lost on my duck, lost on my DKS First, Dick K's special loser I do have, I still have on my PM iron condor And it's a little bit of a move lower Instead of between the PMIC and Power Hour Could still come out okay We'll see Well, I think Dick K was traveling today So I think he put on some stuff But probably not as heavy as he would have otherwise Time flies have done good I'll take off a couple winners One of which we put on today and took off today I need to buy some longs here for Power Hour Yeah, today would have been a great travel day But old SPX, it just came out of the gate red And had a couple of bounces It's been bouncing a little bit now since noon, central That's when it hit the bottom But still down about three quarters of a percent Nasdaq down almost one percent Russell the least weak down less than half percent And then Dow down about a half percent Gold and silver both weak, notes and bonds mixed Euro and pound, not too much action Grains higher, Bitcoin pretty flat And VIX is up about three and a half percent Was up quite a bit more Got back up over 15, now it's back down to 14 and a half With all this down movement Hoping for some nice juicy premiums But we got a straddle, my friends Just a raggedy old at-the-money straddle for Power Hour That's right, I like the silver lining Nothing negativity out of me Like the 44.65 straddle That's a good straddle As far as straddles go, it's over four bucks on each side 44.65 straddle Trunch one straddle 10 8.40 Fill the 8.40 for Trunch One 44.65 Anybody else in the PM iron condor?

The market didn't take it well or what? I don't know when the release of is that Of the new iPhone 15 But I heard, I remember hearing something recently about it coming Trunch one is going to need a little bounce Trunch one trading over 10 bucks stops at $12.40 Trader AL, I haven't looked at your test But all you gotta do is there's a toggle That says early exit And you can put in the time So here it is, I'll bring it on the screen So if you go to new back test Whoa, five to one Five to one calls to puts Interesting Use early exit 415 Oh, 315 central Yeah, that's after the market closes How about 355 Central, eastern Doesn't look like it did anything Looks exactly the same as the original No, I think I know what I did I closed it at the end of zero DTE You're saying close it At the end of one DTE Let's try that Oh, it's actually worse Yeah, I'm not sure there Didn't seem to do what you thought it would All right, SPX trading at 4457 Five minutes till Trunch two My PM iron condor is liking this little move lower Need to buy some longs for Trunch two Looks like it could be 4460 straddle Or we could get five wide See where this trades over the next few minutes Getting a little bounce back to 4460 Still looks like it could be a 4460 straddle potentially We keep pushing up, could be a 6560 Another minute or so It comes down a little bit It'll be the 4460 straddle If it pushes up, it'll be the 4465 4465 point strangle All right, I'm going to go with the 4460 It looks like 4460 straddle trying to get filled at 725 Filled at 725 4460 straddle Now it's pushed up a little bit 4465 would be a little closer to three All right, so we've got filled at 725 725 So 435 is what I'm looking for on Trunch two To reduce stop 505 on Trunch one, 435 on Trunch two Price continuing its little bounce Got a short strangle in the euro that we rolled calls down in today Got a hedgehog in oil It's up a little bit Take that off by the end of the week Got a hedgehog in ES Hasn't moved much since we put that on gold We've got a reverse hedgehog We're up a few hundred on MES, we added a we've got a short strangle We're not quite to profit target after adjustments on that one But getting close I think if I can get out for 44 ish Yeah, we're at 52 so Getting there And then we added a new one Nasdaq, we've got a little hedgehog that'll come off by the end of this week It's up a few hundred QQQ, we put on a new duck today SPX, we took off a couple of time flies And we added another one I've still got this, I did a little video on a reverse time fly Still got on it Certainly I talked about kind of the The slope of the T-Zero line to both the upside and the downside So whereas our normal time fly we booked profits This one is actually down a little bit It had a calendar to the downside That putzki that you get with the flies That was so nice There's another silver lining buga That reminds me I haven't heard back from my CPA I had to file an extension as well this year which I hate doing I had to do it because I got to have an interest in this And company that had an issue with K1 And as I'm sure you're familiar K1's never seemed to come out on time Now we seem to delay things Coming back up for Trunch 1 A few minutes before we enter Trunch 3 By some longs for Trunch 3 So if we hold here it looks like it'll be the 44.65 44.60 Strangle for Trunch 3 Go ahead and get my Trunch 1 charted It's down to 6.60 I'm looking for 5.05 to reduce stop on Trunch 1 This thing keeps climbing It could be a Potentially a 10 wide Give it another minute It comes down a little bit It'll be the 65.60s But it looks like it's going to be the 70.60s 70.60s Trunch 3 10 wide 14 Filled at 265 Filled at 265 for Trunch 3 Low premiums but 10 wide That's pretty centered I'll see I'll let Trunch 3 ride To the bell I forgot to put that in my written plan But part of my intention for September Was to let one of my Trunches go to the bell If it was in good position So a little bit of a discretionary call on my part But 10 wide And it's got to be a strangle So if Trunch 3 Looks like it's in decent position to pin My PM Still looking for $12 It's currently trading a little over 14 Trunch 1 trading at 640 I'm looking for 505 Trunch 1 with the 65 Straddle Trunch 2 I'm looking for 435 To reduce stop And I just got out of hit 40% On my PM So I need to reduce my stop From 12 down to 6 Look at that first zero DTE winner of the day Only took all day Only took all day But I'll take it So where I was going before I got rudely interrupted By that profit target Was Trunch 2 Let's see Trading at 640 I need 430 So that's a little ways away Nice Frank D Alright 4460 is my sweetest Of sweet spots 60 to 65 is just fine That includes my PM PM trade Yeah I've got my PM trade Mixed in here as well Which has a 4455 put in it I haven't had any problems Closing trades are on What kind of trade is it One of these power hours Feel free to post a screenshot Keep in mind if one of your strikes is way out of the money It doesn't have a bid that's probably the issue When I say way out of the money It doesn't really have to be that far out of the money because There's no bids At 4485 On the call side And 4440 on the Put side Yeah most likely you just need to close the shorts If those are your short options I would just close those If you're trying to close the entire iron condor The longs are going to have zero bid Is why it's not filling Yes sir Still 27 minutes to go I thought we were about done I need another nap Good Ron That worked for ya SPX up to 4464 Tronch 1 trading down to 530 510 Getting close to reducing my stop On Tronch 1 from 4 to 3 That's 505 flash Yep so I'm going to reduce my stop To 805 If I could do some math today Up to 4465 NASDAQ still down over 1% Not getting quite the bounce SPX is getting Russell's only down a third of a percent Dow's down a half percent NASDAQ staying a little weaker than the rest Russell got Hit pretty good yesterday He's down over 2% Quite a reversal in bics Just on that little bounce I was looking at VXX but I like to see the volatility based on The indicator The IV indicator See that the Volatility on Volatility to be higher You can see it's On the 21 day it's still below 50 Annual Still below 50 so I like to see that Spiking as well as the price of VXX To put on a Vertical It's $3 over the current price So I was waiting for price to get down to 505 so I would adjust it to 805 Done in the back test as well Says something to the effect of Based on the current price I knew it was coming Wuga You and I were right here buddy You know I know it's coming out of your mouth If we can just chop around in a little 5 point range Between here and a little bit lower 20 minutes 19 minutes Till the bell What else my friends What else you guys want to

Dana Hey Dana We are all posting in the Zero live chat channel in discord So if you wouldn't mind Switching over there I usually close the Zoom chat here But to answer your question Yeah it can be done in an IRA A lot of folks trade IRAs We're buying the wings First And then We are selling the shorts And the reason we do that is because Like I just mentioned to Ron You know those The longs Pretty quickly after we put them on I mean look at all these That are going to expire worthless with no bid So from that from after entry We're really just managing the shorts So my OCO orders and everything else Is just on the shorts But they are defined risk They are IRA eligible Trader Bianca you're a fair Weather cold plunger Alright so let's see tronch 2 I need 435 It's trading at 570
