So, I was supposed to be talking here with Kate and Chris. Chris has been indeterminately delayed because of weather, and Kate has the plague from the last two conferences she was at. So, there we go. And then there was one. A little background on Kate, Chris and myself to help set up the talk because the combination would have made more sense with the title. I've been focusing on the edge of IoT, specifically the gateway part of the edge of IoT. Kate has been leading Zephyr among the many other things she does at the Linux Foundation. So she's really working on the tiny little bits at the very far edge of the IoT. And Chris is with Cloud Native and he is the cloud side of the story. And so really, this idea of all things great and small is to put in place this story of where we're heading with the Internet of Things.  And I'm sorry, these are small and mostly unreadable. But the net net here is these are the pictures that are starting to be drawn around IoT and deployment now. And I've tracked these for seven or eight years. And I have a whole collection of these and the style of the pictures of how this all works has really changed over that time. The concepts and the understanding of it have really changed. And now we're seeing this rich picture that kind of looks like this where things are going all the way up and talking to the cloud. But they're going a little beyond that and hopefully in this talk we'll get to that. I'm kind of preaching to Dwyer here so I won't spend a lot of time on this. But there's really a perfect storm of things going on. Sensors getting really cheap, compute getting really cheap, storage getting really cheap. All of this great connectivity happening. Lots of different protocols out there now. And I think really importantly and to the talk yesterday, manufacturing. And the supply chain is really magic. The supply chain is magic because you can design a board now for a project. Push a button and three days later have the board come. And at the same time, three days later have the plastic case come from somebody else who did the plastic case for you. And so the part of building the IoT components is getting really, really good and really, really easy to do. We're also seeing, and again, as yesterday's talk was unplanned from the keynote yesterday, but hardware function moving into software. We're seeing lots of that. And I'm smiling masmos down here. Arduino helped a lot of people understand that pattern, especially really early on in this, that you could do a lot in software to make things far more flexible than they seemed. And so we're starting to see a lot of functionality move into software. So this supply chain of components plus software is really making the deployment of IoT real now. And I'm seeing lots of it in the field. I'm seeing lots of it from a wide range of companies. This is where Chris Anacheck jumps in. Hi, I'm Chris. The cloud is eating the world. I don't even have to jump into it too far. I think this one is really an awesome talk about Kubernetes and the impact of cloud and these cloud models that are emerging. And really, I shouldn't say emerging. They've emerged, they are the norm now. The Kubernetes supported by top ten cloud providers in the world. And it's one of the fastest growing projects. Why is that? Because it solves a really important problem. It makes it easy to build and deploy this stuff. Because we have all of these little things and because we have this cloud, the amount of data is rising. Anthony talked a lot about this yesterday, which is leading to opportunity and challenges. And we're starting to see this, again, like Anthony talked about yesterday, this web scale coming to the masses. Anthony talked about some services. There's a variety of services now that if you've done your little board design and you've had your plastic made, you can pretty quickly get the rest of that story together.  At the same time, we have this trend going on that I think we're going to hear from the other keynote speakers today, and you're all here at Linux Foundation event, around close to open ecosystems. And I was really careful with the point here. And this is something Chris talks really eloquently about, that open ecosystems, not just open source software, but open ecosystems and the recursive nature of those open ecosystems to power things. Since I'm the edge guy, now I'm going to talk about the edge and really jump into the part that I think is interesting. The edge is real. Four years ago when we started this event, we were talking about the edge. And we had some examples, but we didn't have a lot of them. Now every single product company I talked to that's building a product has a very competent edge story to go along with that product. Sometimes it's in the device, sometimes it's around the device with gateways. But the edge story is getting really powerful. And the scale of it, I think this one's interesting because it was 2014. And it was kind of a look. If you look at the numbers from 2017, that's effectively 100%. The products have an edge strategy. They've encompassed edge. And the scale of dollars in edge computing is really starting to grow to the point of the cloud side. And why is this? Because when you can build a lot of little things and you can make them cheap, you really can't have them all talking to the cloud because the numbers get really big. This is my favorite stat from last year. The number of connected things exceeded the number of connected phones. This is actually a really big milestone. So now we have 2X the number of connected things on the planet if you had the phones and the devices. And this goes to the story of really the scale of it growing up. In this space, we've seen, and I was just talking to some folks here who've been doing this for a long time in the connected world. And I thought I didn't even think about this slide when we were talking earlier. But the M2M world has been doing this for a long time. The M2M world has spent a lot of time because they have big money items, building and connecting things, collecting data, processing that data, and transforming their businesses. But what's really interesting, and the edge data and the number of connected things shows it, is the size of the market that's growing to go along with that. The M2M folks set the stage. But when you have a $5 million machine, you can spend a lot of money to connect the $5 million machine to manage it. But when you have a $2 or $3 sensor, you really can't spend the same money or take the same actions to make that connectivity. But you want the same effect. And this slide is really starting to talk to where people are starting to see the dollars in it. Two years ago, three years ago, these slides just had big random numbers on them. They said that number is going to be a trillion billion million dollars. Now these numbers are starting to get ranges, and they're starting to tighten in. Because people are starting to figure out exactly where this all fits together. There's a phrase I love tracking these digital transformation slides. These have been around for about 20 years. They track every single digital trend possible. There was digital transformation for client server, and then digital transformation for web, and then digital transformation for mobile. And now it's about IoT. But the important part here is when these new technologies come in and to the opening, when they get inexpensive and they get widely deployed, they appear in all kinds of places. And they affect the way businesses work. This is a company of a Linux Foundation member, one of their customers. And this is a really interesting company. This is the trend that I have been tracking the most, and the piece of IoT and Edge that I find so fascinating. ATF, Australian Temporary Fencing Company, they literally sell fencing to job sites. They generally don't look as pretty as that nice green field, but they sell job site protection. This is in one year. Their business is now going to have as much revenue from this job site surveillance technology that they developed last year. So in 2018, they'll make as much money from the job site security technology as they will from all of their physical world fencing business. They completely transform what their business is. They already had a relationship with the customer. They already had a connection to the field. And now they're just delivering a new product. It's got an Edge computer in it. It does facial recognition. It does image recognition. It's all kinds of really great stuff. And because they're put in really terrible places all over Australia that are way at the edge of the connectivity network, it uses SIGFOX, Lora technology, to send little messages to say that there's a problem. So they have actually pushed all of the smarts to the Edge in a mostly disconnected world. Another example is Stern. If you use a bathroom tap here and you put your hands underneath it, it comes on. What's one of the big challenges of being in a place like this with bathrooms? There's a lot of them. And some of them are going to be used today. And some of them aren't going to be used today. And some of them are going to be used a lot, like when this session's over. And other ones hidden around the building, around the corner, are going to be used a lot less. But if you're a regular hotel, restaurant, airport, you have to check those bathrooms over and over again. Every 45 minutes, you send your custodial staff to them. Stern connected up these faucets. And now a big part of their business and the most growing part of their business is analytics reports for the janitorial staff to tell them which bathrooms they have to attend to and when, and which ones they can choose to ignore. It also predicts things like paper towel usage and soap usage so that you're not wasting time opening up the dispensers because they've built these really big models. These examples really fit into this. You couldn't do this before. Caterpillar could do it. But you couldn't do this before. But now Stern, in what is a very inexpensive tap that there's hundreds of in a building, a facility like this, can now do that, put informatics around it, have an edge computer that does all the calculations and then pull that data up to the building. Another example of this transformation that I love, the technology has now gotten to the point where it works. At the beginning, I showed Chris's slides and talked a little bit about the cloud picture. What we're seeing, and Patricia just jumped over, which is great too. Patricia and I have talked a bunch about this. We're seeing this model. We know how to build stuff on the cloud side. And we're now getting to the point where we need to build stuff on the edge. We have real edge computers. Dell's got a really beautiful $300 industrial edge computer. There's smaller ones if you want to use routers. There's bigger ones. So a wide range of them. Opto22 is upstairs with industrial edge computers. We know how to put computers at the edge. And now we're starting to build the models around what to do with those computers and how to make those little sensors and those little computers work. And some of the pioneers like ATF or Stern are starting to set the models. But as they're developing and as you talk to them, they're asking for it to get a lot easier. They're asking for the same things their developers see on the website to happen on the edge side, to happen in the world of things, especially in these enterprise and industrial use cases. And so what we're seeing is the same model for the cloud being flipped 100% over onto the edge side. The scale of it is slightly different. But the model is still the same. I have servers and containers and distribution. And I have load balancing. And I need all of the networking things at the edge that I do on the cloud side and then in between them. And so we're seeing this mirroring of models. At the same time we're seeing that, we're seeing this big challenge around security. Because this number is increasing. And as this number is increasing, I put the Mariah hack up here. As the number increases, companies like Stern and ATF actually start to really worry about, I have faucet taps that are in bathrooms. And now I have to worry about, is my faucet tap going to be hacked? And if it's going to be hacked, is it going to cause a vector into the hotel? Or is it just going to flood the bathroom or something else? It seems like a trivial problem. But if you're a faucet company, you need all of this security. And so in my job of being out there in the field talking to lots of these companies deploying products, they've asked over again for help putting this out there. And so inside of the Linux Foundation, we've started to work really hard to curate an architecture, an emerging open source architecture that puts together a set of pieces to make this a lot easier. It isn't all of the pieces. And there's a lot more to go on here. I left some blue boxes with dot, dot, dots because we have some announcements coming up in the very near future on some additional projects that fit in here. But on the left side of the screen, we have Zephyr for building tiny devices. And we have Yachto for building bigger devices. Plur is Tracy. Tracy, big plug for Yachto. EdgeX Foundry for building Edge computers. I have a lot of members here in the audience of the project. Linux Foundation networking for connecting all of that edge magic to your cloud magic in a safe and secure way. And then on the cloud side, besides Kubernetes and all the goodness out of CNCF, we have Acumos, an AI project, and R, and Waze to start processing that data on the cloud side. And we're going to see that migrate over to the edge side too. So Zephyr, EdgeX, Yachto. Linux Foundation networking, Kubernetes, and Cloud Native. I just popped through them all because you can go and see them all on the LF website. But I think this idea of curating a set of technologies on this side, like CNCF has done really well on the cloud side, is really important to the emergence of IoT as a real thing. Because if we don't do this, we can't deploy it. And the customers can't deploy it. And you talk to people. Four years ago, I remember Landis stood up on stage and said, there's only 300,000 embedded software developers in the world how we're going to make this work. We're going to make this work by scaling, by giving people patterns. There weren't a lot of web developers at the beginning either, and we scaled up that model pretty quickly. It's all starting to come together and work really well. But the thing that I think we need to be really careful of, and I ask from everybody in the room who's working on projects, is you're help pushing these projects along to bring them to the point where they can deliver this value. We know how the cloud works. It works really well. We have a really good model there. And the IoT, it's still really emergent. And we're still trying really hard to get that model to get to the point of having an architecture that's robust enough to look like the diagrams that everybody's drawing today. So I'm going to stop there. I'd love to talk to anybody about this and what their interests are afterwards. I'll be hanging around.


time of crisis, the Roman Empire and turmoil. Right. So if they bring, right. So our friends bring this, uh, Grog Nard looking war game out. Well, the box looks like a Grog Nard war game. It's a GMT game. Those, that's the company that makes the Grog Nard war game. Yup. Right. So you're looking at this thing and you're like, eh, this is not, you know, what's this going to be like, right?  Yup.  Right. So that's, that's a real work of genius, right? Think about Dominion, right? So Dominion is the, like the first real deck builder, right? And it's sort of set the stage for all other deck builders and all they all follow the basic template and nothing has been better than Dominion. You have a deck, right? It starts out with just a few cards.  It's like, well, what if you could just stack the deck and draw whatever five you wanted? But everyone's stacking the deck. Well, it's not that everyone's stacking the deck. It's that, okay, you're stacking the deck.  Yeah. Turn two. Two coppers in three states.  What can you do? It's like, okay. And then you shuffle again. See, then you, all right, you got mine. Now I do it again. All right. I'm going to do four coppers and the village that I bought or whatever, you know, whatever card it was that I bought, right? It's like, but then you get to the end of your deck and your discard is full of all the good cards that you stacked to make beautiful hands. And I mean, Dominion is a little different because you can do the infinite draws. So stacking your deck would be ultra powerful. But there's another thing you can't do that in this.  So stacking your deck in this game, it removes randomness, which is actually good to make some more game of skill. And it doesn't really help you cheat. It's not OP because if you give yourself a strong turn, then you, you start to go through the whole deck before you can access the discard pile. You're going to have to have a weak turn and it's about choosing. All right, maybe I'll take the weak turn on purpose. Maybe I'll try to mix the turns together. Right. The other thing is that this text on some of the cards that does stuff, right? But really what the cards are three currencies. They're three different currencies influence with the people influence with the Senate influence with the military. And those three currencies are used to buy actions, which are the real act. You have like a menu of actions that all cost action points. Some of them cause yellow, some cost red and some cause blue. And most of them cost at least two. I don't think many of the actions cost one.  So I'll take two blue cards in my hand. I want to do that red action. Ooh, I bought a strong red card earlier in the game that is on its own worth two red. I'll put that in my hand. And I want to do this yellow action. Well, that costs three yellow. Well, I can't put six cards.  Right. You're picking the action points you need in currency from your deck of what's left of it anyway. But and here's where the game gets fascinating. Like this is what makes this game good and why like we played it multiple times that it packs when we could have played other new games. Like it's rare. We want to play the same game. We played it. We played it one and a half times. We pretty much got to the end of that one game. It was over. The writing was on the wall and I would play it a third time. Like I would play this again. I like this game a lot. But the deck building in this game is actually a rondo builder that just happens to use cards. You're basically just building a rondo. Yep.  You're basically and the brilliance of this is that it basically makes the game have a very real world war game like abstraction because the games at essence really kind of war game. Basically I make my plan at the end of my turn. So I look at the board. I think about the things I want to do. I could make a really complex plan where I have the exact number of points from my hand for the next turn to do something specific and powerful. But that might not work out if someone attacks me that I didn't expect barbarians invade the board state changes in a radical way and I have to react to this terrifying new world. So I might choose instead a more safe or neutral hand to be able to be reactive.  Yeah. Also you know like we said that the cards are our currency points for different to buying different actions that are the actual doings. Yep. Right. So you start the game with I think three three and three three blue three red three yellow pretty much takes at least two to do a meaningful action you know. So you can't really do like all three different kinds of actions in one. You're going to have like a red military kind of turn or you know a people kind of turn. So you got a debate of like how are you going to focus what kind of things do you want to do. Right. You what you can't balance it out.  It's like OK you go all military and turn one and turn two. You can put you have one red card left you can put in your hand which does nothing. You can't you have to do all three things and any given turn will almost definitely be not hitting on all three notes. It'll be your each turn will be focusing on one and a half of the areas of the game and ignoring one area of the game pretty much completely. Like well I did my military this turn I'm not doing any next turn. I did a little bit of people this turn I can do a little bit of people next turn but not too much on either turn and only in the latest latest late game when you have super strong cards that you've acquired from winning already basically you can do a whole bunch of things in one turn but then your next turn will still be crappy because you just spent all your huge cards in the first turn. So kind of an aside but I saw this picture I want to lose this train of thought. My main complaint with the game is that it has some like UX and mechanical problems. Well yeah because it's made it looks like a Grog Nard war game. So all the UX and graphic design of it is Grog Nard. He like to remember to know your purchasing power and everything they got to look at things like you have to confirm numbers several times just to make sure you're doing things right. Yeah. And the first thing I said after I played the game once was if you just made a simple player aid this game would actually go a lot faster. Like I can envision a very I think I mean you could just take the same as that game and re theme it. No the theme is perfect. I don't want a different you like the theme. But the point is if you just made it look like a euro right or like a you know root style you could totally pass this off to just everyone and it would be like a super popular game. But the board is fine. The only the UX board is OK. The board is fine. It's OK. I mean you're just you never actually looked at where barbarians could go with your problem. No I mean I looked at it but the point is it's just it's not you know it's not like a beautiful board right. You could give this game just a graphical only makeover and it could be like one of the most popular but all you don't even need to change the board. You just need to make a handful of player aids that sit next to the board. I mean that would tokens on that would help significantly. But I'm saying if you just made this not look like a Roman thing. But I don't know the problem is the UX not the UI. I mean I'm just saying to sell it. No one's going to buy the Roman thing. I'll buy the Roman thing. The mechanics of this game are a hundred percent. But I'm looking at the player aid for the eye for because you can like have an AI in the game and it's pretty close to what I would have made as a player aid right for the game itself. I'm saying the game is you know it's the Romani parts of it are parts that rim likes but they're not parts of you know the theme is not the theme is pretty even the core mechanics are pretty tied to the theme. That's the other things. They are very tied to the theme. Yes but those made that makes for a very natural heuristics that make the game objectively better. For example there's Italy in the middle and all the other provinces. It's a Roman crisis game. You're putting your governors out in places. You can make it a fantasy theme and it would be fine. But here's the deal. One of the cool mechanics. So one of the things you're tracking is you get points every round based on like how much control your dudes have in all the different regions and like how much you've invested into them like having buildings and things. But you also track how many turns you had you were the emperor. Yep. Meaning you control. That's really the number one way to get point. That is super neat. It's almost like a king of the hill game that's happening in the middle of the rest of this game. Right. But the thing is right unlike real king of the hill right which as you know the same sort of problems as last hitting in mobile king of the hill in this game just gets you points but also makes you vulnerable is it's not about you know king of the hill type rules often get wrong is that whoever's on the hill at the end wins and that can be good but usually it's mad like try to do better. It was really flag for the most number of seconds. Right. It's like you'll play really really really well and dominate the whole game.   Right. So this game it's like you're getting points for the number of turns you were on top. It doesn't matter if you're there at the end. Right. It just matters who is there the longest. Right.  That's great. That's just as being good as being up there twice as long. And even if you say you know dump on the last turn and have a sad ending. Yeah. You know because Rome Rome. Yeah. You will still be declared the victor.   Like I just held on because everyone really wanted to unseat me but no one was willing to spend their whole turn doing it because they had other like much more important things to deal with. Well also mechanically speaking you know there are many games out there that have a variety of victory conditions to choose from or if they don't have different victory conditions they have different ways to get victory points. You could go say kind of a mar you could get bread or you could go book. Right. In this game you could go and as a way to get victory points try to be the emperor the longest. That will totally help you get a lot of victory points. You can also be popular in the districts that you control. Yep. You can or fight barbarians. Right. You could just be popular in a few places or somewhat popular in a lot of places like yeah. OK. Rim you're the emperor the whole damn game but I'm super popular everywhere else. Yeah. And you're just the puppet emperor. All right. Come on. No. Right. Well yeah. You guys are all popular and whatever. I went around destroying all the barbarians and all of these different ways to get points are equally strong. I can't say that like one of them is just better than the others. Yep. Right. It's like yeah you can win in any of those ways. And one you kind of got to balance how you're approaching the game to you have to react to what the other players are doing. Yep.  Well the barbarian fountains are random.  But that's fun because that uncertainty is what makes this more like a war game. Well without it more naturalistic heuristics. Well because of this deck stacking. Right. There is no other source of randomness besides the barbarians and the event deck. Therefore without those you would just solve this game like this is the optimal play. Yeah. Try to start in these places. Stack your deck these this way by these cards or disorder best it would end up turning into Honda's Toytonica where the game is purely reacting to what other players are doing in a cycle. Right. Now the barbaric the randomness could affect one player more than others. But that's war games. Sometimes it's like sometimes like I forgot to get overrun early and that sucks if you were there in aggregate. It goes after everyone equally. Yeah. So even though the barbarians happen to overrun rim this game. Right. It's like I still had to prepare just as much for barbarian invasion because it could happen in any moment. Yep. Or I take a risk and I like don't put any armies in Africa because I got a plan. And then barbarians happen there. It's like well oops. But maybe they don't or maybe I got federati and I'm going. Yeah. But that's a gamble still. It is a gamble and it's a gamble for everyone equally even though you know the tide might splash upon one player and not another. Everyone still had to pay the price of gambling. You know one way or the other or play it safe. And I'm not going to explain all the mechanics. Like I'm not going to teach you this game. That would be the core mechanic of the game is deck building game where you stack your deck but you still can't access the discards. You play the whole deck buying power to buy more cards is based on your popularity and control of provinces. Yeah. And there's several ways to get points and control is only with the popular and killing barbarians and all three of them are equally viable ways to get points. You're probably going to have to mix it up to some extent.  But there's mobs.  The funniest thing about a mob.  It's like I just want I want and rims winning. I put mobs on rim. But mobs are real funny. There's other things that can cause mobs.   Yeah. Like you're out. Yep. One way to deal with a mob is just if you have a lesion there just go kill it.  Oh yeah. There's two different ways to or you can build circuses and run it. You can run games. Yeah. You can remove a mob with red military cards at but that costs you popularity. You can play cake with yellow people cards and placate the mob with yellow cards or you can build a build an amphitheater and then the mobs will stay and they'll still be a problem grow because also at the end of your turn if any territory as a mob it gets any two mobs. It's a bigger anger. The mob just keeps growing until you deal with it. And the bigger if you have a Coliseum the mob just stays flat. Yeah. It's like all right you gave me a mob but I have a Coliseum so it's going to be one last game we played. I just I just kept a pet mob for a couple turns because I don't want to deal with it. It's also a building you can build that will deal with Barbarians and convert them to your armies as long as your army is mostly Roman you can that's not yet a card. Federati'll do that. The building just means when barbarians come into a territory where there's Limes or Limes yeah they'll come in flipped over like inactive but then they're easy to to bring in. Yeah. You don't have to fight them right. You have to fight them next turn if they're still sitting there. Yeah but you know they'll just kill themselves effectively if you played the Federati's. Yeah. There's a lot of things. There's a lot going this game is meaty and fun. There aren't really other games like it. Right. Don't be fooled by its Gragnardi war game. Look it's basically an awesome Euro game just like all those other awesome Euro games are used to. But with a lot of it's not any harder than a dominion or a small world but with a lot of the war game type mechanics that make war games interesting. There's a lot of harder than explain. There's a lot of emergent behavior. A lot of narrative will come about and the kind of planning you do in the game isn't the math of my next turn so much as the I need to focus on this area of the board or this type of thing next turn. And I need to be mindful of the fact that based on that I will have fewer options until I reshuffle my deck. So do I blow my wad now. Do I save my wad for a later turn. What do I do not and also not enough can be said about a game. You know there are lots of games that do this where they take a mechanic from another game and sort of let you cheat. It's like well that would be cheating and dominion. So you get that extra fun of feeling like you're cheating and it's OK. But then the game is actually good so it doesn't. It's not that strong. I feel like I like but it's fun to do a thing in a game that feels like cheating and the game the mechanic came from. So I feel like that's actually for game designers out there. Find a game that has a mechanic and there's like an obvious rule for that mechanic that yeah obviously you can't do that. That would be crazy O.P. in cheating but then make a game where everyone's allowed to do that and it's not O.P. Yep. And if you keep doing that you'll just make doon. Maybe. But yeah I feel like I want to own this game. I think our New York set would like this and play it. And I would like to play it any game in New York in New York. Well we haven't been in New York for a while is the problem. Like every weekend I'm out of town or something.  But then I can easily bike to your place where there's critical masks because there are four gamers and I will be there. I'll be biking. Yeah. Yeah. I'll also be biking. But then that night we'll play a game. Obviously. Don't go to bed early old man. I'm going to go there right now.

Because we're complex, our brains are complex. Subjective. Right, and our nervous system is complex. There's so many systems going on. Why would just one frequency do the job? You need many. So these frequencies that we created have over 5,000 different notes in them. And we specifically found which notes and which patterns and which layers of them will help you get these emotional, psycho-emotional effects. No, I agree. So the definition of Chi is energy that is held to animate the body internally and central importance in some eastern systems of medical treatment, such as acupuncture, Tai Chi, and just really focusing in on maybe visualizing where you're at in that frequency. Because I can visualize space, and I'm not in my body. Even the 30 seconds, I think it really truly helps. So if you're immersed in it, it's going to heal you slowly, right? Right, exactly. So Chi is a Chinese concept, and it means life force.


I am very happy right now. One second one second. Yes, that is the first good coffee I have had since Thursday. Oh that's good. Thank you Claude for delivering this to me here at the front desk. I didn't even ask for it you offered and uh and I didn't really want to make you go buy it for me.  What's the weather like outside today? The window's wet but I don't think it's raining. No it's not raining and if it is it's very light. We can walk. We can walk. We got two legs and a heartbeat. Where's my phone? What's the time? The alarm clock in here doesn't work. What's the time? I'm just I was just cleaning everything up. I know I had my phone in here. Diesel have you seen my phone? Found my hand. That's something. Here it is. What's the time? Gotta be checked out by 11. Okay Diesel we better pack up all our stuff here okay? Well it might be a little bit of a damp walk but that's okay. Little water never hurt anybody.  Spilt it all over myself. What am I like five years old? Okay I'm actually 12 for the record. Still coffee all over myself. I didn't actually mean to do that. I was just gonna capture my last sip before I left. It's not too long of a walk. I need it. I like it. It's good excuse for a walk. Don't feel bad for me. It's okay. You probably didn't feel bad for me did you? Probably laughing at me. No I choose to do this and we gotta go around the long way too. No short cut today because I got my bags and stuff. I can't carry them through the bush. I gotta roll it behind me. All right Diesel you ready to go? Got everything in my big bag here. Got my dirty laundry attached on there. I may look like a homeless person walking through New Brunswick here but don't worry I'm okay. I'm expecting at least two people to stop and ask if I'm okay. People are just so nice here. I know Diesel I know you're whining and whining you want to get going I know. The truck's not ready yet okay we can't leave right away okay but we can go to the truck. The the parks aren't here yet they're supposed to get here at like two to three o'clock apparently but hopefully they come today. I'm gonna go sit in the truck anyways and hang out in there. And if it's going to take till tomorrow I guess we'll just sleep in the truck tonight. I don't need another motel unless if they offer me another night back home but I don't mind sleeping in the truck if there's going to be one more night than I'm there tomorrow.  I would like to get close down to New York tonight yet. It's going to be late so I don't know if I'm going to be able to find parking but if they're only starting at like three o'clock that means I'll probably only be leaving at like 6 p.m. which means I'm not going to make it through Maine. I'll probably make it close down to southern Maine. Whatever we're going to get as far as we can. I'll be driving late into tonight so let's go to the truck. A little bit of a hike it's four kilometers going around the long way it's about three miles it's not too bad believe me I can use it I have been getting fat again you know what and it's okay it happens we'll just deal with it we'll bring the weight back down and uh you just gotta stay on top of it right hopefully we'll see what happens we'll see what happens all right diesel you ready to go or what let's go gotta hook you up to your uh your leash here I'm really glad I got this bag on wheels now because I should push that it really helps out a lot I got my tube there I got my gloves in case it's a little chilly diesel all my stuff got my head good things attached I forget that too come on bud in we go to the magic room all right you need to push a button the door closes and when it opens we'll be somewhere else like magic well I didn't get more than five minutes and a nice couple pulled over and insisted to give me a ride the maritime's that you just keep giving you just keep giving she insisted her and her husband I believe those are husband or boyfriend or husband I'm guessing uh they had dogs too and they were totally fine with diesel riding in the car let me in there and uh they uh gave me a ride over to Peterbilt here and saved me from getting completely soaked I got a little bit wet but I would have done it I would have walked the whole way but they insisted so once again the maritime's of Canada what a happy place what a happy what great people here you know so thank you so much to the anonymous couple that gave me a ride so I didn't have to walk in the rain insisted on giving me a ride in a nice way not like in a creepy way like oh you have to get in the van no they they were very very nice about it all the people out here you know what if we ever move out east I can tell you what we're gonna go past Ontario and Quebec we're gonna come to the maritime's but uh that's and all honestly probably won't happen because home is where my heart is and where my family is and I love Manitoba and you know what we're not so bad we're not so different we're pretty friendly there too uh it's just a bit of a different different feeling anyways enough gushing over the good people of the maritime's here we're still waiting here now for uh the the park to come in should be coming in here I'm waiting for a I'm guessing purilator or FedEx or UPS or something but if I'm coming here they have an order of a whole bunch of parts not just mine that are showing up my part got flown in from the US I made sure that it was coming and they said it will be here around three o'clock so it's 1 30 right now we're in the truck here I'm just letting the batteries charge up a little bit here getting the truck warmed up a little bit uh won't run it for too long uh but we're here at the shop anyways and doing a little bit of detailing back here I just cleaned out underneath my bunk you know it's one place where we forget to clean a lot I think a lot of dust gets uh gathered up underneath there just clean that out and I'm just cleaning out the side here now and I'll keep going until the park gets here so maybe we'll have a completely detailed truck by that time at least it'll smell lemony fresh quite literally I just saw a courier leave it wasn't FedEx or UPS or any big one like that but it's some kind of something something it said courier on it and there's a big box truck I wonder if they had my parts if the parts don't come today I'm I'm gonna ask them if they could take the part off one of the trucks in their yard here and then get me going and then they can put the new part on their truck I would have been nice if I would have thought of asking them to do that on Thursday or Friday I don't know if they would have done that or not but that would have helped me a lot I could have been on the road already but we'll see I'm gonna go check to see if that was my part okay hold on one minute here hold on one minute the code disappeared the code is gone are you kidding me I'm in starting the truck up just to keep the batteries full because I'm using power in the back there and stuff and the code just disappeared now the truck looks like it's perfectly fine are you kidding me what in the world let's let's check this out driver performance warnings and faults no warnings what it dropped the code I wonder if that means I'm still in danger of derating derating whatever the hell do you imagine if I would you saw the code right I showed it on the video you imagine if I stayed here the whole weekend just for the code to disappear as my part arrives I'm gonna talk to them about this one second this is fishy this is fishy oh I got something in my eye now okay it's gone what in the world so you're telling me that the code just disappeared it's windy yikes I'll talk to you guys on the truck diesel it wasn't ours that wasn't ours that was the monkton courier we're waiting for the courier coming from the airport the airport courier it always smells like lemons in here ah yeah I love having a nice clean truck anyways yeah uh the code's gone and I told them that I said now my truck thinks it's okay but obviously there's an issue could maybe just be wiring at this point but it could be a faulty sensor if it threw a code once chances are it's going to throw the code again so they're going to take it into the shop look it all over once the part gets here and probably have to replace the part anyways I'm thinking that's what they'll do I don't know the other mechanics they'll decide what to do I just don't want it to do that again because the the fear would be that you know I'm going to get an hour or two down the road and it's going to throw the code again and it's going to start derating my engine again and then I'll be stuck in another motel but at least the part will be here right I'd be able to get it fixed quicker but I might be stranded on the side of the road then too so I don't know what's going on I'm kind of frustrated like electronics and emissions on trucks everybody hates them but you know we got to save the planet like I said on Thursday saving the planet one breakdown at a time and I get it you know the emission systems it does help it does a it does a big make a big difference but man does it cause a lot of problems oh there comes a box truck is that is that him is that him is it you do you have my sensor is he turning here is he turning here nope he said it was either going to be pure later or FedEx one of the two I guess we'll just keep waiting well I'm going to pull it up to door six my park isn't going to be here until tomorrow or maybe the next day they told me it would be Monday all of you is my witness so I took your advice from the comment section thanks guys I asked them if they could take a sensor out of one of the trucks they got here on the lot and put it in this truck and then when they get the sensor that's coming late they can put it back on their truck and then at least I can get going today because my load needs to get down to Georgia it's already been running three days late probably more than that by the time I get out of here so I'm going to pull it up to the shop and they're going to do the switch I'm going to put a good sensor on here double check everything make sure that everything's working good and then we'll be on the road hopefully with no further issues cancel that no they're not going to be able to take a sensor off one of their trucks here and put it on this truck because apparently this is a warranty job and warranty doesn't cover a used sensor because it's a used sensor that they have here don't they have a sensor on one of their new trucks here they say I gotta wait till tomorrow afternoon now well I parked the truck here again and I'm going to test it out a little bit to see if this sensor is going to trip the code again I'm kind of thinking it well I don't trust it if it went off once that usually means that it's you know on its way out it's gonna fail again so far so good I'll take a look at it I'm gonna take it down the block and back and see what happens but it looks like uh looks like they're gonna want to replace the part anyways here I'll I'll take it for a spin and if the code pops back on then we know that it needs to be replaced well we've got no error codes popping up here oh what's going on I bet you anything as soon as I hook on to the trailer and get on to the highway the code will pop up again that's what I mean man these these electronics and stuff they want in the world get a hold of the shop see what they want me to do but the part's already been ordered I'm pretty sure they're just gonna want to replace it anyway turn back in here into Peterbill I was just bob tailing here I didn't hook up or anything but I wanted to see if the code would pop back on if I got the wheels running I'll see what they say I see it I see that I got an email from our shop here already pull in here and uh see what they said all right let's see what they said I don't know what's happening yeah it's not normal function okay so I'm just gonna confirm that they want me to stay here and get it replaced anyway and not risk it and leave it's it's their call it's not my call do whatever they say okay so you still want me to stay here till tomorrow something I don't know what to say all right I'm gonna say all codes and faults are gone but I'm guessing you would like I spelled like wrong like me to get it replaced nonetheless it could pop back on again right away and derate me see what they say I believe they said it was on warranty to believe they said it's a warranty fix if it's on warranty then they should fix it and the fault is in the system even if the fault disappears off my dash here it doesn't disappear out of the computer system in here they can go in there and they'll see the history of it and they'll know they saw it themselves with their own eyes last thursday but even if they wouldn't believe me they'd be able to see that it has been acting up they'll replace it under warranty okay so I will send that off to the shop send I really like that I can communicate with everybody back at the office and shop through email because that's the the quickest way for me to get a hold of them because if you get them on the phone that holds them up they got to stop what they're doing pick up the phone talk to you and you know they might have other things to do if I send them an email they can sort of get to it as soon as they can as soon as they got a free second they'll take a look at it and then they can find the answer and then get back to me in two seconds send it away and then get back to what they're doing I find that to be a lot easier I think it's better for them and it's better for me too I mean just want to confirm that they want me to remain here and get this fixed don't want to step on any step on any toes now you know I don't want to step on anybody's toes I'll do whatever they tell me to do they want me to risk it and go down the road okay well they're paying for the tow if if it pops back up again and I joke around about who saved the planet one breakdown at a time but I understand like I said before these emission systems do help emissions a lot a lot that you could breathe the air coming right out of the stacks for the most part it's just a water vapor it does a really good job to filter it these trucks run cleaner than your car very close to it anyways I was told they run cleaner and I'd believe it because because they don't emit like they used to like when you used to idle overnight and then you start driving the next day blue smoke would just pour out of your stacks right because all that crud was burning off it's not good to idle a diesel engine very long so you want to idle as little as possible hard on the engine but now instead of like shooting all of that crud into the air burning it off in the morning it all gets caught up in these filters and this whole emission system and it's a big pain in the butt for us drivers and for the people even more so for the people who got a pay to get these things fixed and there's so many sensors sensing this and sensing that and once a sensor tells the truck that there's something wrong it'll shut the whole truck down just in case you don't save the motor I understand that's a safety feature that's probably saved tens of thousands of dollars for people in the past by not blowing their engine or something you know it's just it's just not very nice to have to deal with it it's very inconvenient so I let the shop know that the codes disappeared on here that the sensor seems to be working again for now and I want to get their go ahead they already cleared me for another night at the motel but I wanted to be uh uh honest with them I wanted to tell them what was going on here's the here's the response let's see what he says see what he says what he says says yes it's a warranty fix replace it okay cool all right so we're going back to the motel one more night hopefully just one more night I hope the parts get here tomorrow I don't know what's going on but you know with everything going on in the world everything's sort of moving at a little bit of a slower pace and it it goes down all of the all the way down the hill like the snowball rolls all the way down the hill like this because now my customer waiting in Georgia is waiting on this load and uh who knows if they send another truck to come pick this up I've got a kingpin lock on it so they're gonna have to get a hold of me to unlock the kingpin because I'm not hooked up to it but uh there's that and then my load that was going back home has probably been given to someone else already and they're gonna have to find me a different load for that it's like because we plan ourselves weeks in advance right as far as we can anyways dispatch does a really good job like they are phenomenal the people who deal with with uh me for the most part and keep me moving and all the people like me they do an incredible job I'm not trying to suck up to them right now I don't even know if they watch my videos or not I'm pretty sure they do but they do an incredible job they're always in great communication with you they always respond as quickly as they possibly can which doesn't usually take long they're on top of it they always remember where you are they don't forget about you even though sometimes it feels like they forget about me but no you check in on them and no they're working on something and they never make me sit long when I'm on the road whenever I'm sitting for a long time like this it's because of something like this it's out of everyone's control and that's why I'm happy doing what I'm doing you know you keep people happy they'll stick around there's been people that have tried to pull me away and you know offered me pretty uh tempting positions and pay rates and uh I've had several offers that people want me to work for them and they they would pay a pretty penny but you know what the atmosphere in the workplace goes a long way and it's it's hard to duplicate that I'm sure there are many other great working places to work out there many great ones but I mean where I'm at and the people I deal with every day the people who find me my loads the people who uh make sure these trucks stay running and get me fixed and get me running and everything when I'm out here all of them are great people I don't know where they found them but they they must have scoured the earth for the best people because I really believe they're the best so anyway anyway anyway back to the motel I got some tv to watch no no no we're not turning the tv on again tonight we tried that last night we turned the tv on we ended up on the news not doing that again tonight no we're gonna go and watch some Netflix then I can pick what I watch looks familiar doesn't it it's actually a completely different room but it looks exactly the same doesn't it just clean yep so I guess we're gonna set up here for another night uh they won't know if the part's going to be here till about three o'clock tomorrow so who knows how long this is going to turn out to be at least I got a nice place to stay in a nice town to stay in right everybody here seems to be all right I know there's a couple of black sheep and bad ducks in every town and uh you know every person around you that I've talked to I've said you know people seem to be so kind and nice here and I really appreciate it and they've also the same thing like yeah for the majority you know the culture here is really nice we try to treat everybody with kindness but there's always that one they always say so there's at least a few duds out here people who don't exactly live up to the standards everybody says there's at least one I haven't met them yet so everyone I've met has been really nice all right so I want to play a quick little game with you okay now this room is very very similar to the last one I was in right I'm going to show the whole room from here there's one thing that's different about this room can you spot what's different do you remember were you watching the vlogs how good a memory do you have okay without going back to watch yesterday's video or the day before the day before when I was in the other room what's different about this room do you see it there's actually two things there's two things different all right pause it and see if you can figure it out all right did you pause it this is your last chance to pause it if you want to play the game go back and see if you can see what's different all right there's two things okay here we go number one there's no coffee maker there it's over here number two there's a door here where does it go who knows well then I guess uh if we wanted to have a a party we could rent the two rooms and then have these doors open and it's sort of like one big room right if you wanted to stay here with your family or something you know maybe kids in one room parents in one room then you can still get that in fourth but we have it locked now so yeah those two things are different about this room other than that everything is pretty much identical just cleaner thanks for watching today everybody I appreciate it uh so the next morning I'm just gonna wrap this up for you really quickly and give you a little bit of a hint at tomorrow's video the part has arrived so I'm headed over there right now tune in tomorrow we'll be back on the road


Computer memory is one of the most important parts of a computer which includes RAM, ROM and cache. However, if the computer has a high memory usage problem, it will freeze or the message of your computer is low on memory may come up. So why bother? Let me share you with how you can resolve the issue of high memory usage. Number one is closed unnecessary programs. Sometimes the memory is consumed when multiple programs are running in the computer. To work it out, open task manager, then right click the application you want to end up on the processes and choose end task. Number two, disable startup programs. Some programs run automatically when the computer starts. If you don't need these programs to run at startup, you can disable them. Just open task manager and then navigate to startup page. Right click the programs that you don't want to run at startup and then select disable. Number three, disable superfetch services. Superfetch service is usually booted by default. It improves computers performance by only allowing the memory to load a fraction of the data needed to run common programs very quickly. However, you should disable it only if the computer is SSD. For this, press Windows plus R keys and then type services.msc to open services windows. Scroll down to select superfetch. Right click on it and select stop to disable it. Number four, defragment hard drives. Defragmenting hard drives can also help to save memory space and for this, open file explorer and select partition C. Then click manage on the toolbar and click optimize. Finally, select partition C and click optimize. Number five, download antivirus. Sometimes the windows 10 high memory usage is caused by viruses. If so, computer users should run a virus scan of all the files. So download systemic virus, let the antivirus scan your computer and remove any malicious items immediately. It is also recommended that you keep this antivirus present in the system every time for real time protection from any kind of threats. Last is to reinstall Windows 10. Some users report that Windows 10 high memory usage only occurs when they leave the PC alone for about 30 to 45 minutes. Or this problem occurs after they upgrade to Windows 10. In this case, reset your PC and reinstall Windows 10. But before that, take the backup of your whole system positively. And yes, don't forget to like our video and subscribe to our channel.


A response generalization. Here's an example of response generalization.  But if I did, to change my clothes, that would be an example of... Stimulus, response generalization, response generalization in the same stimulus. Yeah, that would be an example of response generalization. Sorry, sometimes it gets confusing. It's really simple, folks. The response generalizes in the presence of the same stimulus.  So if I see you, I could do one thing. I could wave, hello, or I could say, hi, how are you? I could do all sorts of stuff, right? So all sorts of different responses that I could make in the presence of you. So the stimulus stays the same, but the response changes, right? So the response changing means it's generalizing. So one stimulus can produce all sorts of different types of responses through the process of response generalization. Trust me, as you get older, just wait until you see your parents. You end up with so much response generalization. No, I don't really like you, but I love you.   All those things happen when you're older and you have to deal with your parents. Anyway, I love you, Mom. Take care. I know you're watching these videos. By the way, she does actually like every single one of these. So that one's for you, Mom.


Let's also talk about money. The salary differences between product owner and product manager is not significant but it's very obvious. Product manager in general are getting paid about 10% higher than the product owner. If you look up the general product manager salary in San Francisco area, the product manager's face salary is about $140,000 per year, and the product owner's face salary is about $127,000 per year. And this salary doesn't include the stake, the stock options, and equity. As a product manager, sometimes your salary can go all the way up to half million dollars.
