Hupup Thursday on Why In The Morning, this is our first interview of the day, our first artist of the day goes by the name Eru the Rapper. We have been going on and on talking about joining a locus, talking about logic, talking about Eminem, and from this conversation I can't wait to listen to more of his music. It represents one ten that is getting gala, the hood, that is Kajadu County. So Karibusana, Karibusana on Why In The Morning. So the drill is always, look at camera 4, introduce yourself if I missed anything. Yeah, so I'm Edu the Rapper, my government name is Edward Ubura. Edward Ubura? Yeah. That is your Duma Nambani. Let's not talk about the Duma Nambani. But yeah, that's what's on my ID. Alright, Karibusana on Why In The Morning. Rap is something you do for fun, as a passion, and as a career. Profession, yeah. Alright, when did you fall in love with this thing? Done it since I was a kid. But I decided like, I'm going to pursue this thing professionally in high school. Because like in high school, like all through my schooling, I've been that, that A student. So like when I got to high school, it just didn't feel like it was fulfilling. Like it was not a but, it was like a empty space that only rap could fill. Exactly. Alright, so how do you feel?  So I've thought about it like that as well. But when I put two and two together, the only direction I'm pointing is rap. Because like I could as well be an engineer or a doctor. But I would never be able to stand out in that field as much as I do in rap. Alright, so you feel like you're the best edu when you're rapping? Like for one and a half years, once Rikap had broken up, I wasn't releasing music or anything for one and a half years. So just last week I released my first single. And everyone who was texting me was telling me, good to see you back on your feet. Like to everyone, the idea of me being on my feet is me rapping. Like nezakua president of Kenya, but according to the people who know me, that's not the edu who is doing well and doing what he likes. Did you take these a's to college? Yes. Took them to college? What are you studying or what were you studying? I'm studying become marketing option. I was doing an engineering course, but I switched. You switched? Yes. So I'm finishing my fourth year. You're finishing your fourth year? Yes. Why did you decide to do a business course? Because music is a business. Exactly. And I think people don't put as much into the business side of it as they do into production and being stars on... Young shiagi and juice man. A different scandal every day. Like people should put more into the business side of it. People should put more into the business. And what I'm studying is marketing, which is like without marketing, how you getting your music from the studio to... DJ Raji is a student as well at the University of Nairobi, but he found a passion in DJ. So maybe you understand the struggle. How was it for you? On the side. It was really different. It was really different on the side. I'm doing something totally different. In school. What was your name? Environmental science. Environmental science. You want to see the English. All right. You want to see the environment. So when it comes to DJ, this is where your bread is coming from, right? Do you see yourself practicing somewhere at the UN saving the environment or the ministry of environment and everything? I'll go for sure. All right. This is happening a lot. The reason I bring this up. We have so many, so many young Kenyans getting into college and studying things that they won't practice. And I find this a waste of time.  I'm sorry, parents, if you're watching. You waste a lot of time in school and this energy you could have focused on something that is supporting either what you love or something that is what you love. I think about the system has actually set us up. It's not really a fault. Like in high school, there is no career day where they ever brought us a musician or a creator. Or a film director. Yeah, never. It seems to be an engineer, a factory, or a doctor or an accountant. All right. So try to imagine if everybody in Kenya was an engineer, we had half of Kenyans are engineers, half of Kenyans are doctors. Is that a society? Nah. It's not a society. And I think it's like in one of my raps I say that higher education, higher learning in mefana wa say wa cheku fikiria. Like people are not thinking out of the box. Because I feel like you can't get a degree to go be a bank teller. Like a bank teller is a type of job which you can train someone for a class 8 exactly. Because all you do is punch. Take money, check. If you have a degree or come up with a level of education, you're not supposed to be doing basic stuff. You're supposed to be thinking totally out of the box. Because your education is not growing the economy of the country. Exactly.  And these people have potential to be great. So they are being underused. If you take a degree holder and put them to operate some simple things it's wasting their ability and their potential. To an extent, I mean they could probably contribute to whatever they are doing, that profession. But if you're not doing what you stand out in then you'll never really reach out your rich, your full potential. That's what I feel. You sound like this Tesla guy. What is his name? The guy who writes things at Tesla. He was saying when he came up with the self-driving cars he was saying we should not waste human hours in doing tasks, repetitive tasks like driving. These things can be done by machines and use our minds to do better stuff. Alright. Anyway, let's get back to the music. We got so deep. Let's get back to the music. You're telling me you have a rhyme book that is 400 pages. It's almost half full. I started writing in it in December. Yeah, because that's like I was writing a rap in my head. Alright. My question is, that's me. My question is, all these rans and all these verses, when you get back to say page number 11, do you remember the flow? Yeah, of course. Do you remember the flow? Yeah, like sometimes people remind me of raps I wrote like five years ago. And sometimes you can't even put one plus one together. I've forgotten it completely, but when I hear that first line, it comes back. Alright. So something that you've written, it's in you? There's no way I'm going to write something, then forget the emotion that I felt when I was writing it. And you know, for me writing rap is an art, it's a science. It's like patterns for me. It's like rhyme patterns. So there's no way I'm going to forget the flow changes. Exactly, no way. No way you're going to forget. I'm feeling like you're using this tool to educate, to open people's mind. Exactly. Actually I'm trying to figure out a way to use rap to teach in schools. My dad is a teacher, so I feel like it's Iko kwa damu yango. So I'm here to educate, and I want it to, I was reading about how much Kendrick has contributed to the education sector in America. His album has been archived at the Harvard Library. His works are being used to teach English and poetry in schools. That's what I want for me. Which is really powerful. Exactly. That's what, rap has that amount of potential. Rap has potential. That's the potential it has. Do you think it's the biggest genre in the world right now, in the world of music? Why do you say so? What is the proof? Because the proof is it has contributed the biggest percentage than any other genre when it comes to music industry revenue. And when it comes to... Revenue number one. You can never go wrong with numbers. And the kind of digital innovations that are in the music industry right now, most of them are coming from the hip-hop side. When you talk about digital innovations, rappers, like you see Travis Scott effects on the sound. And not just digital innovations, but innovations. And yeah, you see like even country music right now, they're using 808. And this came from hip-hop. Hip-hop has a huge influence. Hip-hop has a huge influence. Hip-hop has given rise to house, techno, krank, trap music. It's endless. It's all coming from hip-hop. Yeah, I mean. And numbers on the board. When we look at the billboard charts, there's always hip-hop music. And the innovations in the music industry, most of them are coming from the hip-hop side. Like Travis Scott released an album and he was selling what do you call them? Action figures. Action figures, yeah. Of himself. It's like such innovations. Nobody ever imagined and musicians selling action figures of themselves. Much more than the action figures. And this is sold out. All right. There's something about, I saw a post, when Khaledra posted that his girlfriend was pregnant, this lady blogger went online and said, is it a qualification for a rapper to impregnate a woman before they marry them? When you look at a rapper across the world, is it a qualification to make a girl pregnant or make them be with a child before they marry them?  So, I guess it's... To be cool, you have to have the girls. All right. And there's a lot of stories going around about objectification of women in hip-hop as well. But talking about the girls, our topic of conversation today was DJs and the stereotypes around DJs. These are the guys who play your music anyway. All right. So, we are DJs and Kimulizademi and we have a national. We have a national. We have a national. So, what do you think about this particular issue? Before Raju's tells us what... This is an element of hip-hop. Because this is an element of hip-hop. I think, like, the culture needs to change. The culture needs to change. I'm fast as a society and in hip-hop. Because hip-hop, think about it, it is actually pushing a lot of negative culture. Misogyni. Like, a lot of misogyni is being pushed by hip-hop. So, as much as good is happening in hip-hop, drugs is being pushed in hip-hop, killings are being pushed in hip-hop, the gangster way of life and snitching is a crime when it's a good thing for security. And so, even kids are listening to these things and most of these rappers, if you think about it, that's not really the life they are living. They're just writing lyrics which are going to sell. But DJs are living this life. But the culture needs to change. Yeah, it needs to change. All right. The reason we are here is not about the politics and everything, we are here about this latest song that you have done. Tell us the title who produced it and what inspired it. Yes. So, the song is called Wachawa Jeribu and let them try us. So, the song was produced by Mike Muema. He was in a cook studio this year and the song is basically about never giving up. I wrote it from my own point of view from the experiences that I was going through. I was part of a gospel group called Rick Up and we broke up last year. So, after the break there's a lot of criticism being leveled at us and a lot of people just bashing us what is it trying to understand like why we even tried to I mean why we made that move and so what was in a lot of what was going on in my mind was the complexities that come with being in a group. Exactly and not just being in a group our own personal lives. So, like I was thinking about how many people out there going through the same thing so many people are trying to chase their dreams because nothing else feels fulfilling and you can't really do something which you're not in love with or something which doesn't fulfill you you'll quit after 2-3 weeks so many people are trying to chase their dreams and it's hard It's hard out here there's so many stumbling blocks on you It's hard out here especially as youth like this lack of opportunities and so I was writing it from a point of view that if you listen to this song you'll feel the struggle I was in and you'll understand that I'm still here and I'm still doing this and you can still do it as well you can still chase your dream and work on what you love because me, me I'm still here and I've struggled so much so you can do it too you can do what you love Why Schwartz from a decent man right here Edu the rapper representing 110 representing Kenyan hip-hop to the max so listening to this guy Edu the rapper DJ Rajiz is this what you call a representation of hip-hop culture is this what you like to see from a rapper Tuambi eno mnugan Westman Westman mneza mpa beats Fricel mneza mpa beats kutafti a beats social media on neza kupatan mnugan Facebook, IG, Twitter Edu the rapper that's simple Edu the rapper YouTube watakupatan mnugani that is most important for an artist just look them straight into their eyes So Niko under crazy global management that's the YouTube channel where my videos are that's the label that I'm signed under crazy global management so that crazy has a K R-E-Z-I but if you search Edu the rapper on YouTube you still access my words You're a rapper sticking to the raps we have a beat for you Edu the rapper representing 110 freestyle before we listen to his latest song that is on YouTube supported by DJ Rajiz himself on Hip Hop Thursday on Wai in the morning komi challenges it is yo yo yo take it take it yo a major killer sonisha kafunga ka solex hama mc wa nani watch ka rolex killing me kankujua beyond tiana noles they hype only saying overnight like a house guest now all they got to brag about is being in the game longer mahaliko minafapua give points to kubonga kus all you do is talk you straight out na roby diaries ima subin season kus im black no allergies bubaza yo faces like y'all committed felonies im mixed it up with melodies I had a dream anything like it would ever happen but now it seems ima start with diamond king get them diamond rings now im want to find the things I know where the people's heart is kus im guess of gay to find the things yo a yo i jump full the stage and represent for the ones my age misunderstood generation been caged We'll be back with tomorrow, why in the mornings I don't go to rap. Wao ji?


I think life is a game. I think it should be enjoyed. I think you should play. I think that, yeah, you should set up yourself for success and retirement and all those kind of things. More than anything, I believe life should be fun and enjoyed. And I think we should laugh every day and spend time with the people that we love and do the things that we enjoy doing.


The radical, fundamental principles of freedom, rational self-interest, and individual rights. This is The Iran Brook Show. All right, everybody. Welcome to Iran Brook Show News Roundup on this beautiful Monday. It's November 28th. It's 85 degrees outside. The sun is shining. No rain in sight. It's a beautiful day. Hopefully it's as nice wherever you are, although I doubt it. All right. I do live in a unique place. Today is, we're getting close to the end of November. Today is, we're going to, we've got a few news stories that I think are pretty big. We keep these pretty short, so about half an hour, maybe 40 minutes. Do take Super Chat questions. Thank you, Ryan, for the support. We really appreciate it. So we do get Super Chat questions. So feel free to chime in. We do have a goal for these shows. It's $250. But we'll see how it goes. We've, I think, achieved a goal or better in every show or almost every show. All right. A lot of stuff in the news. I picked three stories. And, but there's, you know, there's a lot of economic stuff. There's some crypto stuff. There's another crypto bankruptcy today. And, but they were, but generally, I think nothing new in the economic front. We'll see. We should be getting December. We'll get the November inflation numbers. We'll get the Fed deciding whether to increase interest rates by how much, probably 50 basis points. But we'll see. So there's, there's a lot of economic news kind of in our future. Let's talk about these three stories. Maybe, maybe what could be low probability, but could be the biggest story of the year, maybe the biggest story of the decade is the rising protests in, in China. The protests are over zero COVID lockdowns. And in kind of the government's general response to COVID and the fact that some people died in a fire. Interesting, the city in which the fire happened, where people died is, was in, in the western part of China. So it was close to where I think the Uighurs live. So, you know, suddenly that region is important. People are, people are going out and demonstrating. They're demonstrating. They were yesterday demonstrating Beijing and Shanghai and pretty much every major city in China. There were, according to the press, there were demonstrations at 50 different universities in China and 50, yes, 50 different universities. So really unprecedented for China. We've seen demonstrations in China. We've seen demonstrations around working conditions in some places. We've seen demonstrations around financial collapse, runs on banks, where people lost money and they demonstrated. We've seen demonstrations when the stock market collapsed. We've seen demonstrations around specific issues. They usually are local. They're not nationwide and they usually stop very quickly. These are the broadest demonstrations in terms of scope, in terms of number of cities, in terms of probably number of people involved, maybe since Tiananmen Square, maybe since 1989. That is huge. Certainly, this is the biggest challenge that Xi has faced since he took over as Premier 10 years ago.  You know, the vaccination rate in China is very low and to the extent that they were vaccinated, they were vaccinated with very ineffective, very ineffective Chinese vaccines early on in 2021. So vaccines have not played much of a role in China. I think the regime is really scared of COVID. They're scared of what happens in the hospitals. They're scared of what happens if a million people die of COVID. They're afraid of the social upheaval that was all from that. And in trying to combat that, they have fallen into the trap of social unrest because of their measures to lock everybody down. We'll get in a minute to more of the demonstrations, but the Chinese vaccines that are being used in other countries are being particularly ineffective, so Chinese vaccines are just not being good. And China has resisted using western vaccines partially because I think they view that as a sign of defeat. Their own companies which are trying desperately to develop mRNA vaccines have failed. It's a complicated process. It's not easy. And they're still trying, but they failed. And the condition under which China was willing to buy Moderna and Pfizer vaccines was if Pfizer and Moderna shared their intellectual property with China, which my understanding is that at least Moderna turned them down. I think Pfizer did as well. And so China turned them down, rejected them. So, I mean, basically what has happened is China is now vaccinated and they're petrified of death rates. They're petrified of what will happen. But of course, the lockdowns have resulted in the kind of social unrest that terrifies them. It's not like the rulers in China care about the loss of life. It's more about the care about the social upheaval that might result from that loss of life. What's really interesting about these demonstrations is that they are now not limited to just open up COVID, stop COVID restrictions. The demonstrators are brazenly calling for Xi to leave office and they are brazenly calling even for the downfall of the Chinese Communist Party. Now that never happens. So even demonstrations in the past that have happened in China are usually limited to a particular issue or a particular topic and focus on that and concentrate on that and are limited to that. But here what you get is people actually demanding that the Communist Party stop ruling China. I mean, that is a revolution. I mean, it's a revolution if it succeeds, but it's calling in a sense for real change. And that, again, you haven't seen on scale in China since the 1989 Tiananmen Square. I mean, I wish I could communicate with some of the people who have brought me to China many times, kind of the people who have been fighting for liberty and freedom in China for decades, the people who were involved in promoting Iran's ideas but also the ideas of free market economists in China would be fascinating right now to talk to them and find out what they are thinking and how they view what is going on. It is hard. Maybe, you know what, maybe I should look them up on telegram. So that's what I could, you know, I could try to look them up on telegram and maybe see if I can talk to them through that. I'm sure their telegram channels with dissidents in China are expressing their views. So this morning there were no demonstrations in Beijing and Shanghai. And the reason for that is probably, whoops, what happened to my camera? All right, I think that's still not quite right, but okay. I mean, it's moved around a little. There we go, that's better. Although now this is, so the camera is tilted down, which shows my mic. That's fine. So today there was no demonstrations in Beijing and Taiwan to a large extent because there was massive police presence in both places. The police have gathered around the places where last night there were demonstrations. They are stopping people in the street. They are taking their cell phones and trying to determine whether on their cell phones they have VPNs. VPNs are, for the most part, illegal in China. Although most Chinese that I know at least use them constantly. So checking VPNs on people phone. They're also checking to see if they have Telegram app on people's phone. Again, Telegram is not allowed for use in China, which suggests that it's not allowed because the Chinese can't actually monitor it because of its strong encryption. So, you know, the fear of demonstrators in China is very simple. The Chinese state is to a large extent a police state. It monitors, it knows who you are. The fear is jail. The fear is, you know, jail for long periods of time. Can Google courts. And of course, because they have cameras and they monitor social media extensively, they know who you are, what you are. They have facial recognition software.  I think it's just a matter of time. Now, just a matter of time could be 50 years, but it's just a matter of time before the Chinese actually rebel against the powers to be. I think they're in for a long period of economic stagnation. And if this zero COVID policy continues economic depression, which will wire people up and upset the Chinese dramatically. I mean, the trade off Chinese have accepted historically has been, as long as we have economic growth, as long as we can become wealthier, as long as the poor become rich or become middle class, as long as things are going well, then okay, we'll let you be authoritarian. But if part of that deal is, no, the economy's not going to grow anymore, then I'm not sure the Chinese people are going to just sit back and accept the authoritarian nature of the regime. I saw somebody tweet to me today saying, China's always been authoritarian, they're always going to be authoritarian, nothing's going to change. That's super defeatist. The West was always authoritarian until it wasn't authoritarian. And that took well into the 19th century for the West not to become authoritarian. Kings were supposedly messengers of God who could do anything and could rule anywhere. You had emperors, you had culture change. And I think the last 40 years have brought real change to China. And people have real expectations about certain aspects of their freedom, and I think those expectations are growing. And as Chinese, more and more and more Chinese are educated in places like the United States and England and in Europe more generally, they come to greater appreciation of freedom and liberty. And at some point they're going to demand it. The question is when? Is this the beginning? One can hope, but it's unlikely. But it is heartening to see the Chinese people expressing themselves. It's heartening to see the Chinese people going out there and actually talking about this. Also to those of you, and I know quite a few of you out there who believe that since COVID is a scam and COVID never existed and people don't die of COVID, that the Chinese don't, this is not really lockdowns over COVID. This is really lockdowns in order to control people. Well, this is a bit of a backlash against that theory of control. Also, you don't understand China and you don't understand the regime and you don't understand the kind of what's going on in China. If you think that in the name of this kind of control, which is temporary and China already had massive control, if you think that China is willing to sacrifice its economy, sacrifice its wealth, sacrifice its position in the world, sacrifice its potential military build-up because it's going to become poorer because of these lockdowns. No, I mean, this is about a fear of COVID. This is, sure, it's always about control. It was controlled in the West. It's certainly about controlling China. But it's fundamentally driven by a fear of COVID and using that fear. China has the mechanisms of control. It doesn't have to lock people up in their homes and it doesn't have to keep pushing and pushing and pushing for years when what is really being sacrificed, other than obviously human liberty, which really being sacrificed is massive economic success. And no, this is a combination of the regime fearing COVID outbreaks and what they will do and how they will be blamed of it after they have promised zero COVID. And this is a regime that is comfortable and wants to maintain control. And this is a regime that is struggling with now what's going to happen to the economy. But it is more afraid, I think, of what happens if COVID spreads than it is afraid of the economy. Unfortunately, there is a lot of mythology in the West about COVID. And I think that mythology exists less in Asia. I think they're much more realistic about COVID. All right, let's see. So, yeah, this is exciting, potentially. We'll see where it goes. We'll see how it develops. Something to watch. First crack, maybe. Probably not the revolution, but maybe a first crack. Maybe, you know, the first indication that Chinese are willing to fight, that the Chinese are willing to resist. Maybe a first kind of warning signal to Xi that his position is not as secure as maybe he has thought it is. And maybe a push for some within the Chinese Communist Party to say, huh, maybe we've given Xi too much power. Maybe because I think the next step is not liberty in China. It's not that they move from the political system they have today to political system freedom like that or through a civil war. I think the real shift is going to be some kind of internal struggle which leads to Xi being replaced by somebody more liberal, by somebody more open both in terms of economic freedom and in terms maybe of some political freedom. And then an evaluation at that point of whether the population is push, push, push and then maybe gradual movement towards greater political freedom. It's not going to happen. I don't think in China all at once. I don't think it'll happen through a civil war, but it could happen through internal strife within the Chinese Communist Party. Clearly there are people who are resisting Xi. Clearly there are people who don't agree with Xi's increased authoritarianism, with Xi's increased insistence on controls, increased insistence on centralizing power around him. Most of those people have been ousted from the Politburo, from the governing body, but they are there in the Chinese Communist Party. And in these kind of demonstrations, this kind of social upheaval could be a stimulus for them to take control. But again, we will see. This is evolving and it won't all happen at once. I think again this is a little crack and then there'll be maybe a future crack and there'll be more cracks and then maybe things will start happening faster. But again, I am inspired by people willing to fight for their own freedom, they fight for their own liberty, and certainly some Chinese are willing to do that right now and taking real risks with their life in order to do it. So let's keep chipping away at the Chinese war, at the Chinese authoritarian state. Talk about revolutions, talking about demonstrations. Iran, we've been talking a lot about Iran in the last few weeks. Iranian demonstrations, as far as I can tell, continue. They have not abated. The regime is struggling to figure out what to do about them. They are interestingly enough resisting going all out mass murder. It was 13, 14 years ago when there were demonstrations. They killed 1,500 people in a very short period of time and crushed them. They have not killed, as far as we can tell, anywhere near that number. As of now, we suggest that there must be some resistance within the regime to going all out military force. So it is interesting that there was kind of a stalemate over there. The regime has not brought out the tanks into the streets. They're not mowing down people yet, although they are mowing down selectively, but they're not doing it systematically. And the demonstrations are just continuing. It is also interesting that the Iranian soccer team in the World Cup feels brazen enough to actually not sing the national anthem in the first game. The second game, they were seen singing it kind of reluctantly and softly. I think they were threatened if they didn't. It is also interesting, and here's a thumbs up to the American football soccer association or whoever is responsible for this. But the United States has started in advertising its... It's in the same bracket as Iran, and it's actually going to play Iran either today or tomorrow, I can't remember. Anyway, it's in the same bracket. So the U.S. soccer is constantly advertising the game, U.S. Iran, that's coming up. When showing Iran in the bracket or in advertising the game, they have taken the Islamist symbol from the Iranian flag, they've excluded it. So the flag is the flag just of the colors without the Islamist symbol in the middle, which is basically an attack on the Islamist regime in Iran. Now, who would have thought that the American Soccer Association would be that courageous and that brave? I mean, that is truly stunning and truly amazing of the Americans. So whoever there in the Soccer Association responsible for this big thumbs up, huge kudos, and it's a terrific move. As I said, these little moral support, actions of moral support make a difference. Make a difference. And so they just took out the symbol. Hopefully the United States will crush Iran in the game. Again, symbolically in the name of the demonstrators. But moral support, the Biden administration, I don't know, sanctioned three individuals from different cities in Iran where they have been particularly oppressive in terms of the protests. I don't understand these selective sanctions. I mean, sanction everybody. Just don't make it clear. Why are we allowing them to come for the U.N. and to U.N. meetings? Why are we these Iranian monsters? They should be banned from all flights to the United States. I mean, the United States could take much stronger measures than it has, but no administration has ever done that. But yeah, let's continue supporting the Iranian women. Let's continue supporting them. Interestingly enough, the Qataris, who as I think I told you are basically allies of Iran, the Qataris are banning where the United States has a huge presence, military presence, but the Qataris have banned demonstrations against the Iranian regime. So people with shirts, women, freedom, something. People with shirts are forced to take them off if they come with banners or any kind of signs or anything like that. They're confiscated. So the Qataris are doing everything they can to make these games nonoffensive to their ally, the Iranians. There's also been a call by many supporters of Iran to kick the U.S. out of the World Cup. The idea is that a country cannot disparage another country during the World Cup.  And this idea of showing the Iranian flag without the Islamic symbol is viewed as disparaging. And therefore, on Twitter, you can go on Twitter and you can find all these people calling for kicking the U.S. out of the World Cup. I've not seen any attempt by FIFA to do that. But kudos to the Americans for doing something like that, even though it's a small little step, it matters. These things matter. So yes, we continue to support Iran and continue to be excited about the demonstrations there. I continue to be hopeful about their success. Again, I think it's a long shot because they need somebody from the inside to help make the change. But you never know what will spark. More violence, some people getting killed, hanging of some of these protesters. Something could spark these things to just explode and lead to a real revolution. So we can hope that that actually happens. All right. Finally, as you probably know, because it's all over the media, Donald Trump a few days ago had dinner with Yi and Kanye West. Who supposedly in the dinner asked Trump if Trump would be Yi's running mate because Kanye is running for president. And he asked Trump if he would be his vice presidential candidate. My understanding is that didn't go over too well with Trump. The Trump was not happy with that. Now I don't know if that's what Kanye West is saying. Ye or Yi? Ye? Ye? Ye? Ye? Ye? Ye? Ye? Ye? Ye? Ye? That is all... I think... complete nonsense. I mean Ye is not mentally here. He's not... I mean if you saw his interview with Lex Friedman, Kanye West is not mentally, he's just not here. He's not connected to reality. Anyway, Donald Trump had dinner with him, but together with him, and I guess on friendly terms with Kanye West, and walking through the airport with Kanye West, and going to dinner at Trump with Kanye West, was Nick Fuentes.  He is real, a real anti-Semite, not, you know, Kanye is what, Kanye is kind of, who knows what Kanye is, but Nick Fuentes is a real anti-Semite. He is an authoritarian. He is an anti-American in every aspect of what it means to be America.   And the fact that he would be having dinner with the former president of the United States and the leading candidate of the Republican Party for the presidency in 2014 is disgusting, disgraceful, it's pathetic, it's, you know, it's beneath the Republican Party. The fact that not everybody in the Republican Party, everybody in the Republican Party has condemned, this is pathetic, this is why the Republican Party, one of the reasons, many reasons the Republican Party loses, why intelligent people will not, a lot of intelligent people will not vote for them, you know, this is a direct, a direct association between, you know, the worst, worst, worst elements of the right. The authoritarian, religionist, racist, anti-Semitic elements on the right with a Trump. St. Louis says, Catholics are the coolest and wisest. I'm going to do a show on the integralists, which will not be very cool with Catholics. And these are wise Catholics. Patrick DeNeen and Vermool and Soha Bamaari, these are very, very cool, these are like hip Catholics these days, really, really, really bad guys, really, really, really threatening to every aspect of liberty possible, but that's a show in the near future that I will do. So yeah, Trump met with Nick Fuentes. And the other thing is, of course, Kanye West is a friend of Nick Fuentes. Kanye West had positive things to say about Nick Fuentes. Kanye and Nick Fuentes were just walking along as if chummy-chummy, that says a lot about Kanye and, you know, how despicable Kanye is and what kind of character he really is. So yeah, I mean, the people you associate with tells you, tells a lot about who you are, about who you are, about your values and about your character. And I think the Nick Fuentes angle tells us a lot about Kanye. I'm not sure, it's a surprise. It tells us a lot about Trump, not a surprise to me, but maybe a big surprise to a lot of people who supported him, a lot of Jews who supported him, maybe, maybe a big surprise to them. Will he say anything against Fuentes? Probably not. Remember, Trump has always cultivated the alt-right. He's always quietly let the alt-right kind of in on things, or get by and never really condemned him and made a point of never really, because he knows that a lot of the support, a lot of the getting people wild up comes from that kind of mentality. I mean, remember that Marjorie, Taylor, whatever, was also, was it Jews, lasers, something?  So just horrible, horrible, and a further deterioration in American politics, and a further consistent path that Trump has taken us on. And let's hope that all these things add up. But I think that at the end of the day, Kanye and Nick Fuentes visiting Trump and having dinner with them is the same as him shooting somebody in the middle of Fifth Avenue. It just bounces right off people, the people who follow him. And the people who care about it, we're probably not going to vote for Trump anyway, although at the margin, I think it matters. I think it makes him less and less and less electable. It makes him, maybe it doesn't hurt him that much in terms of the primaries, but it hurts him a lot in terms of a general election. All right, well, all right, so that's my stories. If you doubt what I say about Nick Fuentes, just watch any half an hour of his show, and you will see, you know, you can get it like that. Okay, there are a few Nick Fuentes questions here. Let me just quickly look at this. Hopper Campbell says, Nick Fuentes is a very talented nihilist whole.  I guess you could call him talented in that context.  He's got that slick appearance of a kind of a Hitler youth member. Let's see what else we had here on Nick Fuentes. Yes, James says, what makes Nick Fuentes so successful, even if you don't know anything about politics, the guy's obviously a vile creature just based on his mannerisms. I agree completely, James. I mean, exactly, just on his mannerisms, you could see how vile of a creature he is. But I think he is, like a lot of vile creatures, he understands marketing, he understands his audience, he understands what to feed them. Remember that people who listen to him are not the most intelligent, are not going to be the most discerning, they're going to be people who want vileness, who are looking for vileness. He is a nihilist of the right. He is a hater more than anything else. He certainly hates America. He hates America in the sense of its founding. What makes him successful is that he feeds the scum of the alt-right. He feeds them kind of what they want to hear and he feeds it to them in a kind of, and you know what he looks like sometimes? He looks like one of those evangelical preachers who's asking you on TV to contribute money so he can get a second private jet because God wants him to get to Europe without having to stop on the way and he needs a longer range private jet. He looks like one of those slick who sleeps with everybody, abuses, steals the money, evangelicals who cons people into giving them his money. He goes back to 30, 40 years, the evangelicals who've been doing this on TV and making huge amounts of money from this and he gives them that same aura, that same slickness, that same vileness, if vileness is a word, that they did. And I think that he appeals to the same kind of people that those evangelicals appeal to. It's people who want to be part of a cause, people who worship individuals, people who are completely based on emotion and faith. So that's the same, it's the televangelists, that's who his appeal is to. People who listen to televangelists because televangelists are the same thing. All right, okay, let's see. So we have here, we have a bunch of $20 questions. We've blown through our goal of $250. Thank you, Vivian. Good to see, it was good to see you in Norway. Thank you for $200 American dollars. Thank you, Wes. So let's start with Bjorn with the $200. Hi, Iran. One, thank you for your important updates on Iran. Very little information in Norwegian government media as expected.  Two, ads necessary on Spotify. I find them annoying when subscribing to both YBS and Spotify. Spotify ads them. I have little control over what the ads could be. I could stop all ads on the podcast and then I think Spotify wouldn't add them. That would reduce the revenue I get quite a bit and reduce the upside of the revenue I get. So I think I've said that if I could get people to contribute $2,000 a month, explicitly for eliminating ads on the podcast, I would do that. I'd have to switch podcast provider because the podcast provider wants me to put in, they will only carry my podcast because they can add ads to it because they obviously get the revenue from the ads. But I will do it and I'll go through the process of moving it to a different provider and we'll still feed it to Spotify, I think. If I get enough compensation, explicitly targeted towards that. So it would have to be $2,000 a month. If people did that on PayPal or whatever and said this is to replace ads and it added up to something like that, we could do that. So it is, you know, 2,000 matters. I hope you can beat your super chat record this month. I hope so too. It really depends, I think, at the end if I do a long show on our tonight. I don't know if I will because I have to prepare for this debate I'm doing on Wednesday. I will do a morning show tomorrow. I'll try, I probably won't do a morning show on Wednesday. So it's just two morning shows, it's going to be hard to make the record. Yesterday was not a good day on the long Iran book show on the super chat. So it kind of excluded the possibility, I think, for breaking the record. We'd have to have a phenomenal day today and a phenomenal day tomorrow and that's unlikely. And you know, again, the only potential is if I do a long show tonight, but I probably won't again because I have to spend some time preparing for this debate which is coming up. And it's not, I've done quite a bit of prep but it's not kind of the, it's not a straightforward topic. I'm debating Iran versus CS Lewis. CS Lewis is not exactly an Arthur I'm an expert in. All right, Wes, thanks, thank you for the, for the 2,000 Kroner, really, really appreciate it. Wes says 2022 could be a great year if Putin continues to be humiliated and the Iranians and Chinese regimes are damaged so their people can be more free, keeping up expectations in check on Iran and China though. Yes, I mean, there is a certain reality is pushing back against the trend towards authoritarianism. I think a lot of people who are liberal in the classical liberal sense, I think I noticing this and identifying this up until before the invasion of Ukraine. The general consensus in the world was authoritarianism is on the rise. Authoritarianism is on the rise in the West, it's on the rise all over the world. One of the reasons for that is that people in non-authoritarian government look at authoritarian government and see them be successful, see them be preserving of culture, see them be successful economically, IE China, see them be successful in dealing with COVID, IE China, see them be successful in militarily of Russia and patriotic and hungry and all this stuff. And then the invasion of Ukraine happened and a lot of people think, okay, now the authoritarian tendency will even get greater because they'll see how successful Putin is, how strong his military is and all that. And it's just been a massive, massive unequivocal failure for Putin.  On every front, economic, strategic with Finland and Sweden joining NATO and on the ground with Ukraine just kicking butt. And the West kind of coalescing and supportive Ukraine and sticking with supporting them and the proof that Russian weapons are so inferior. And every front, this is a disaster for Russia. The brain drain that has happened in Russia as a consequence. And then you get China's economic problems and on top of that the zero COVID and now demonstrations in the street and you get the problems in Iran. It's starting to cause people I think in the West to say, huh, is authoritarianism something we want? Is authoritarianism more successful? Can authoritarians really get stuff done? Is that a model? Is if history is not enough of a clue? Is if history is not enough of a clue as if, you know, knowing something about political philosophy is not enough of a clue. They need contemporary examples where they got them. And so I think it's generally a very, very, very positive trend. Even for us in the US, I think our temptation towards authoritarianism is going to be mitigated somewhat because the authoritarians in the world are failing, failing dramatically. All right, we got a lot of super chat questions. So I will go through these quickly. We're not going to make our 40 minutes. We've extended 40 minutes. I'll try to make it under two hours, under an hour. Sorry. Michael says, how do you deal with eccentric personalities as CEO, engaging with donors and employees you didn't like, but you need them to run your business? What's your overall strategy for dealing with difficult personalities?  I think depending on how important they are, you deal with them. You kind of, without overly placating them, you try to find common ground. You try to find common values. And you try to work towards those. But it is true that if people become so difficult, where it's impossible to work with them, you need to cut them off. You need to just, you need to cut, no matter how much they contribute, no matter how much they support your organization, no matter how much important they are to the business. Sometimes you just have to say enough is enough and you oust them. You oust them. So you work to the extent that you can with difficult people by emphasizing shared values, but once that becomes a drain, once that is clearly not supporting your shared values, but supporting all you discover that your values are not as shared as you thought they were, then it's time to cut them off. Ryan says, I have enjoyed your shows on Russian mysticism and Dugan. What is the prevailing source of mysticism in China today? What or who is the driving force in modern China? I think China is dominated. So there's certainly a kind of a sense of superstition. It's not the deep mysticism and it's not the religious mysticism that I think Russia has. In China, it's more superstition. It's more kind of a loose kind of unspecified sense that there are other forces in play. But it's not, I don't think it's anywhere near as oppressive as Russian. Orthodoxy, it's one of the reasons I was so optimistic and positive about China's success and China's possibility of becoming what do you call it more successful, more free and really becoming a positive force in the world. I was very positive about China, wrongly. So it turns out. But I think it's because they're not very mystical. They're very confucius-oriented and confucius is very much about hierarchy. It's about knowing your position in life. It's not knowing where you should be. It's about the relationship between hierarchies and the relationship between people in different positions in the hierarchy. So that's very important to them. I think it breeds a certain second-handedness. But I even felt when I was there that that was be undermined by freedom and by economic success, economic success often from people you wouldn't expect it, often from people who were from their so-called lower classes, but China has a history, a meritocracy, a real meritocracy, where under the empire, they never had a caste system, which is to their credit. Under the empire, emperors, they had a system where the people closest to the emperor, the bureaucrats, the people who ran the empire were the smartest, they were chosen through testing, chosen through testing, not through family relationships. So they didn't have the same kind of aristocracy as Europe that certainly didn't have the caste system that India had. They had a system where even if you were relatively poor, okay, from a bad family, you could rise if you were talented. And that was unusual. So modern China, there is a rise of Christianity in China in seeking something new. A lot of Chinese, particularly intellectuals, found Christianity rather than, they associated atheism with the communism, which they were rejecting. And the Christianity, I think that was very sad to see that happen. But it's, I think, mostly the Chinese are pragmatists. Mostly they do what has to be done to get by. Mostly they pursue wealth. And the pragmatists, in a very negative sense, they often lie and cheat because, what the hell? They've given up on morality. There's no moral code, really, because of the negation of past philosophical views and the negation of communism. And there's definitely an intellectual void in China, which Christianity is trying to fill, but there's definitely an intellectual void in China, which to the extent Christianity fills will be one of the great tragedies in human history. All right, Richard, thank you. Really appreciate it, $100 from Richard. Thank you for all you do. Can't stay, but I'll watch the rest later. Thanks, Richard, I really, really appreciate it. So we're doing really well today in terms of super chat. Let's see, Len asked, reading objectivism, objectivist again, it is unusual for subjectivist woke to get a leg up and it is expected an intrinsicist, traditional conservatives come back, seems divine imaginary friends beat social make-believe. Yeah, and Leonard Pickup explains why in the dim hypothesis, because the social make-believe is disintegrating. It is, it doesn't provide for uniform theory to explain the world. People want explanations. People need a way to explain the world around them. The imaginary friends, the religionists, have an explanation for everything. They have an integrating factor, God, religion. They have something that integrates it all, whereas the make-believe is disintegrating, social make-believe is disintegrating unprincipled kind of, right? It's the disintegration of everything and that's what they seek. And that is not as Leonard Pickup shows a governing philosophy, governing ideology ultimately. All right, James Taylor says, these are gonna be $5, $10 questions that will go fast through them. Is the defund the police model the norm in South America? The cops don't even show up unless they have gunshots. No, I don't think it's a matter of funding necessarily. It's a matter of corruption. It's a matter of caring. It's a matter of viewing the world of government as doing something. It's a matter of the police not wanting to put their lives at stake. They're not taking their job seriously. But I don't think it's a defund the police model. I don't think it's ideological in that sense. And I don't think it's a lack of funding the police while they could be funded a lot better and they should be funded better in Latin America. I don't think somebody has ideologically defunded them in order to achieve the levels of violence over there. Let's see, James asked, did you see Dennis Pagan, Jordan Peterson discussing the Bible versus something? Good God, adults playing pretend with millions of viewers. Yes, I haven't seen it, no. I'll put it another one to put on my list to watch. Catherine, thank you for the support. Joe, thanks for the support. By the way, you should all become members of the Iran Book Show. You can click on the membership button just below. You can become a member for, I think, as little as $5 a month. And they will be starting next month, member only shows periodically. So it's a great way to support the show in addition to or in, if you're not supporting the show, or in addition to other ways in which you support the show. I think that we have 130 members. It'd be great if we could get to 200 soon. Okay, Daniel says, outside of mass support, what could the US government do to encourage Chinese protests? I mean, I think mass support is huge. And that's what they should be doing. I don't think there's anything more we should support. We're not going to war with China. I don't think we should militarily arm them. They have the books that they need. We should provide them with mass support, which of course we won't. We're not going to. I mean, partially because the US locked us down as well. And partially because they're so petrified of China and upsetting the Chinese regime that they won't say anything and they're not saying anything. Maybe they'll do something if the protest, if a lot of people die, but they won't do anything if they're just protests and the people are just beaten up and sent to prison. If the tanks out in the street like Tiananmen Square, then we'll sanction Chinese for a little bit for a few months and then it all pass, just like George Bosnia did. Alan says, bring the chat gold down to a round number. What do you mean? What's a round number? 250 is not a good, I don't get it, Alan. Sorry. Vladimir, thank you. Really appreciate the support. Frank asks, does disavowing really work? Too little, too late? Well, it's better than not disavowing. So it's better than not, but yes, it's often too little, too late. Because you should have known better. Colt says, I can't see a scenario in which I vote for Trump in 2024 and less scenario in which I vote for the Republican president, which I vote for the Republican presidential nominee. GOP is trash. Wow, this is from Colt. Colt is like a GOP here, surrounded by GOP here. So it just tells you the state of the GOP when even Colt is in a position where he's trashing the GOP. All right, last comment. Morning show's a great evening. It's difficult with dinner and the kids. Thanks, Joe, really appreciate it. Appreciate you joining us. Thank you guys all for the support. This was great. We blew away our target again, almost doubling it. Actually, $10 would double it. Somebody should just do $10 just to double it. But anyway, there will be a show tomorrow. Not exactly what time. There will be a show tomorrow. And the rest of the week is fuzzy. Probably next show will be on Saturday. I'll try to do some shows from the road. Morning show's from the road. I think my morning's open. Probably no evening shows this week. That's why I might try to do one tonight. We will see. All right, everybody. See you soon. Bye, everybody.


You have an interesting story with Hellman Electric. You started as an intern, I heard, back in 1997. The company, you were studying for college, your college degree in electrical engineering. So what drew you to the industry and then to Hellman? Sure. So yes, I did start as an intern here at Hellman in 1997. What drew me to the industry was actually my dad. My dad, I grew up going to my father's projects and he built high rises for a living. So the construction industry and engineering were always something that captivated me. And as a young kid, going into these buildings and seeing them being constructed, 60 stories in the air, 70 stories in the air, it was something that I just, I felt like I wanted to be a part of that. So I actually went to school to get my structural engineering degree. And when I was in school, 93, 94, started to see a shift into mobile. There was a lot of, a lot of telecommunication businesses were growing and thriving. They started to really explore wireless communications and that sort of thing. And it just intrigued me. So I made a decision to shift from structural engineering to electrical engineering. And I concentrated in communication systems. And in my senior year, I was working with my dad on my days off from school. And my father, the superintendent that worked with my father, he would, I would work 50% of the day, half the day with my dad as a laborer physically working. And the other 50% of my dad worked in the office with the superintendent. Now the superintendent knew that I was in school, getting my engineering degree, and had a brother-in-law that worked at an electrical contract and company and was looking for intern help, young engineers to start in the organization. So I was offered an opportunity to come and interview with them. And the person was Stephen Lazaro, the owner of Hellman Electric. So at that time, he was a project manager at Hellman Electric. And I interviewed with him. I got the internship. And I guess the rest is kind of history. Absolutely. A great history. A couple of years.  And you were talking about your early days starting as project engineer and putting some hard knocks in and having a family, pretty much a family affair, getting started. You now are at a senior vice president's level. You rose to the ranks over the years, quite a journey there at Hellman Electric. Can you tell us a little bit about what that process looked like for you moving to where you are today? This was a blur. It's been amazing, actually. Being an intern, then a project engineer, project manager, senior project manager, vice president, I've gone through basically every position in the project management team. And I cherish that. It's something that I tell all my staff, especially the young engineers that come in from school, to enjoy these moments. Because often when you're young, you just want to move and you want to grow quickly. And you hope to be able to achieve project management status in a short period of time. And the one thing that I went through in my career in hitting all of those different positions is just I grew and I learned. And it's just, it helped me develop into what I do now. And that internship was certainly very helpful working under the admin, which was amazing. And it's something that gave me the organizational skills to allow me to succeed in the next stage of development. So you learn from everybody. And those 23 years I've come across some amazing people. And learned a lot from those people. And I hope the youth of the company follow the same path and understand the importance of listening and going through those motions to really provide you with a solid foundation to develop a leader within the organization.


We're here in Barcelona with Pioneer and who are you? My name is Deirdre Lied. I'm here with Pioneer's latest earphone, the RAISE smart noise-canceling lightning-powered earphone. So this is noise-canceling? Yes, it is. And it's lightning? So it's lightning-powered. We draw power directly from the lightning port on your iPhone, but we do a lot more. We use signal processing and smart technology that's built into a chip embedded in this very small remote to customize the noise-canceling performance for each person. Is a chip in there? There's a chip in here. This is the first product to use Apple's newest generation lightning audio technology, and it's built onto a chip made by Avnera Corporation. Which one? It's built by Avnera. They're a Portland-based silicon manufacturer. And so this is the first product to take advantage of that new innovation. So it might be a Cortex-M0 plus or something, a very small port? A very small chip. A DSP or something? DSP. It fits all within this very small remote. And it takes power from the phone? It takes power from the phone? And it has small microphones near the earzone? So yes, this headphone has a total of six microphones, two microphones in each earpiece, and two microphones in the remote. And those microphones allow us to do a number of intelligent features.  So the noise cancelling performance will be calibrated custom to the fit for each person. We also have a technology called On-Ear Detection. That lets the headphone know when it's in your ears and when it's out. So it can automatically pause music, it can restart it, and it can automatically shut down the headphones. How do you know that? Do you have a little camera in there, or how does it know? That's a great question. So now we actually use the microphones and we use the driver. The driver puts out, the speaker puts out a small, inaudible tone, and it's measured by the microphones. And based on that measurement, the microphone would know if it's in your ear or out of your ear. So that's called a raise plus, and you also have the raise normal? What's the difference between the two? Very important difference. One of the biggest needs that iPhone users have with the Lightning port is the ability to be able to charge their phone while they're using an earphone. And we are now giving them that ability. Via this small port, you can now use your headphones, and if I may, by plugging your charging cable in right here, now you can charge your phone and still listen to your earphones at the same time. Wow, that's cool. Yeah. You're the first one to do this, right? You're the first ones and the only ones that have this capability today. And the difference between our two models is our basic model raise has all of the smart technology, the raise plus offers the integrated charging port. That's really cool. So how much and how soon? So we're currently taking pre-orders in the United States for both raise and raise plus. The raise model is 99.95, and the raise plus model is 149.95. So is there any chance we can have it on Android with USB Type-C? We're gonna have to wait and see. Right now it's Apple Lightning. It is. All right. And I would be mistaken if I didn't talk about our app. Oh yeah, what's going on there? This app allows you to customize your experience even further. It lets you run the calibration sequence. It lets you create your own custom equalization should you want to. It offers the ability to program the smart button. So you can do things like turn on the hear-through technology. You can do mic mute for when you're on phone calls. You can program the smart button. Where is the smart button? So the smart button here. This is a button, the fourth button. The top three are your standard volume up, play, pause, volume down. But this button right here gives you access to a lot of the functions that people use on their iPhones every day. So for example, I love to have the smart button programmed for Apple Music. So if I'm walking down the street and I want to turn my music on, I simply press the button and now my music has popped up and I can start it automatically. Nice. Yeah, very convenient. If I'm talking on the phone, what I love about that feature is this can also be my mute button. So now I can mute my phone call and I don't have to go back into my phone and unlock the screen to access the unmute function. I can just press the button again and I've unmuted. That's very nice. And this, all this stuff is only possible because it took off the mini jack, right? Because you wouldn't be able to do all this of a mini jack, right? You can't do it over mini jack. You do need digital stuff. You need to be able to access the intelligence of the apps and the functions of your phone and blend it with the performance of a high-quality accessory like this one from Pioneer. So through a standard jack, you get audio. Via the Lightning Jack, you get power and so much more intelligence available to you. So now they just need to make a phone with the several-day battery life and then it will come to you. But there's a lot of... There's a lot of... This is great.  Well, I will say that the technology that's in here with the Lightning Audio Module and Avnera's chip, they did collaborate with Apple on this. So I think Apple is... I can't speak for Apple. I think that they would be very happy to know that somebody is taking advantage of the product. They should bundle this with the next iPhone. Wouldn't I love that? Yeah.


So today I'm going to talk to you about how we can use it to solve complex problems in prodigy. So the topics we cover are tracing, the different kinds of tracing because usually there is a mix that can be done with trace buffering, aggregation, sampling. Then we talk about what is XTNG and why we want to use it for this kind of these cases. And then we discuss the four main models of XTNG and how to compute them and why they are useful for our virus cases. My name is Milly Fosse and I'm a software developer at Shell. We developed and support the XTNG. So I work on XTNG and how to use it in space. And Bower Race, the text from the team. And also the author and the owner of the latest tracker and XTNG analysis project. We'll talk about that during the presentation. So the first kind of tracer that I want to talk about is trace buffering. So that's usually what we refer to as tracing. It's this fast and efficient blogger. So you take the instrument control and it generates blood. But the difference between normal blogging and tracing is that it generates usually the larger amount of trace. And that's why we use buffering. We want to extract as much information as possible. And make sure it's complete and the full idea of what's happening by our system. So it's usually really application-specific instrument for developers and created by the developers. So it's really good for debugging the local condition. So the common tracing code in the next I have trace, which is in the ground. Perf can be used as trace buffering also, but it's not the main code. And of course, what data can be used. So the buffering use cases is to understand complex problems. So you need as much information because you want the low-level data. And then the local process, the trace offline, just read the data and see what was happening. So it can be used to solve concurrency issues, race conditions or drivers, to roll-able problems. You also have hardware tracing, which does this kind of trace buffering. But it's usually considered the last time of the event because when you are at the end of using a tracer, because you didn't find a solution with a simple tool before. So that's usually why it's not that popular to use a tracer and why you always have to rediscover a code because usually you don't use that everywhere. But with what I'm going to show you today, you will see that it can be used and in connection for cloud and monitoring users. The second type of tracing is trace aggregation. So if you have heard about T-Trace, see that, what they did. So it's the same source of information. It's usually trace points in the camera or the manual. But instead of loving the data, you aggregate them to extract parameters. And then you output reports. So it can be averages, min, max. It can be also used to just give a profile of IO or the kind of IO operation for a specific file. So it can be reconfigured to make sure you understand one system, but it's after runtime. So when you upload the code or the program, you get a report and that's it. You can then go back to the time and see what was happening. You just have this source of data. So it's just aggregation. So the common tracing tool aggregation tools are standard. Now we have EBBF, Wichon P, which we can use in VCC, which helps creating user space program that load EBBF code. And the data tracker, which is the tool that we work on. We'll talk about that. And the third kind of tracing tool I want to talk about is sampling or providing. So it just takes the current activity of a system at a very particular time. So it can be time-based or it can be when the counter overflows. So you could have some forward-degree, 1,000 instructions, just what's happening on the system at the moment, the counter overflows. And it's used to extract statistics, but mainly outspots. So if you have a current protocol, you want to see exactly what was running on the system and it really helps you find what was the activity and where your protocol was happening. So for FT&G, the main problem is that it's a fast commit result, as fast as a trace. The main difference is that FT&G also extracts the payload of the system cause. FT&G also doesn't output the line of the parameters, but if you have pointers in there, it doesn't reference them. So FT&G does that. So it's also a fast user space tracer. It doesn't rely on the system cause for each trace one. So compared to tracing or logging, when you have a test on the right system cause, every time you want to output the line, FT&G is in memory and when the protocol works like that on the system. And it's designed to run in traditional environment. So it's not just a debugging tool. If you don't have any more choice, you can do that. And it's filled with a lot of tools for post-processing traces. In the batch or graph form, we will see some examples later. So FT&G can generate a lot of events. If you configure the default system with the current tracing, on this batch of that does nothing, you can generate about 54,000 events per second. And if you run the same configuration on the server that's busy, it will generate 27 million events per second. So it's 95 megabytes of trace per second. So that's a lot of lines and you have to process them afterwards. So the default mode is maybe not for everyone and we will see why we have the other modes and why they are useful. So the first mode, like I said, is just extract the trace buffers and write them on this or on the network. So you can have FT&G related that just waits for all data packets to come. So if you don't have space on your local system, you can send the trace remotely. So you are only limited by this space and you are willing to process the traces. But the main use cases is that you want as much information as possible. You don't know what you are looking for, you don't want to get just the thin picture of what the system is doing and maybe sometimes you just don't know when the program happens so you want to record everything and then do the post-processing. And it's also used as a continuous integration system where you can just record the trace while the tests are running and then the post-processing is something way better. So create this cost-trimming session and you just create the session, enable events, start the session, you wait for the entity or the program to happen and you start the session and then you can process the trace. So you cannot process the trace while it's running but you really have to stop before being able to process the data so it can be a good pace on that. If you take a real-world example of a distance-trimming mode, we have the full write-up of the space where the link can be but maybe it's in the script where users complain that the website is slow and you don't know why or when just some time they complain. And the standard monitoring tools you really don't make of this kind of activity. They will just take a sample every minute of how many factors per second you already know was the average you can see but you really don't see those values in my data where this kind of observation tool comes really handy because now what we do is that we record every idle operation so that it's more like some kind of observer so we can specify the process and when some planning and reward problem they can go to the tool run some processing signals and extract really detailed information so that's just a little bit of stuff I can really read it all by now but just to give you my journey it's the idle agency stuff so it takes the trace and extract the top 4 for the open, read, write and sync kind of operations and this one I will show here and the first one is the open of the PHP 5 session 5 so that's the website that's trying to create a new session on the disk and it took around 500 milliseconds to open this file and we look at the bottom we also see that there is a sync that's happening on the system at the same time so it's working the disk and the Apache server and I'm creating a session file so it's just hanging so that's the kind of micro-spider that we wouldn't see with but that's possible and after that we should look at the blog post if you want more details we really need to think how we find this and how to explain where the sync comes from the second part I want to talk about is the language it's literally the same process to create a session but the main thing is that you attach to the session so you can process the trace while it is still running so that's a big difference because the other kids want to stop the trace and then process it life can attach to it and start processing the data another difference that we can do is that normal model is that the trace file size so we can record it since you don't want to keep the full history on the disk you can limit the disk space that's used by the trace so if you attach to the session but it's still running to this but at least you have a standard usage disk usage live work in itself is useful for low throughput loading because you don't want to win 54,000 events per second on the console as you go so if you configure really specific events that are really low throughput maybe you want to attach to a live session and see the events when they happen but it's also used for distributed embedded system or monitoring out of them so you send the trace to a relay and then you do your analysis on the relay so you don't have too much impact on the system that's being traced you just use it to trace, send packets and then out of them you have a system that process it so the big difference between the first model and this one is that you have to attach live on the create operation and then you can do why the trace is running instead of having to stop and then and of course you can send also the trace to remote server for the bounded disk usage you can configure your channels to be on the in this example 4 files of 10 megabytes so we rotate on those 4 files for ECU on this channel and that way you have 40 megabytes per scheme at most of the disk usage and of history also one of the most interesting is this app instead of having the traces for buffers in memory then we extract the data right into this in this part we go like this by default so we just trace memory memory buffer and that's it, it's just writing events and when the other events when new events want to come we just override all the events so it's low overhead because instead of doing IO we just write in memory and when you want to extract the trace just type in this snapshot record it takes the content of the buffers in memory and write them to this and then it can do the off-processing so you can configure triggers new applications or anything of monitoring tool just when you take something you just record the snapshot and you get the back work of maybe a few seconds before the incident happens so you can do that you can configure the core file for when you generate the code you can also trigger instance snapshot record and then you get the full activity right before the segmentation before that of course since we are writing in memory and overwriting the data and the size of the snapshot depends on how much memory you want to dedicate to the tracing session but that's really something that you can configure and depending on your event rate and size you will have a bigger or smaller snapshot at the end for these cases are 40 test occasions when you know when the height is indicating you can trigger the snapshot and also you can ask profiling tool because you can say every 5 minutes I want to see a story of the last 2 seconds and see what was happening on the system of course and then confused iteration also can be used because when the worker takes an error you can just record the snapshot and at the end you will be able to process the crash and you will have it up the difference between the default load and the snapshot mode is that on the creation it's inside the snapshot and that's it and then the order and start the session and when you want the size of the snapshot it doesn't push the data from memory so if you just type the size of the snapshot twice you just get approximately the same snapshot and you just so if you want a complete example we are monitoring the website with the latest tracker with just an aggregation tool and you can see that it uses trace points and just concludes the time the first byte when the receiver requests the actual send of data and we just track the latency of this operation and from the graph we see some time with this byte so that's fully automated at this point compared to the first stage where we had to wait for those to report and then we automated the aggregation tool so we did take spikes and now with the snapshot mode we can expand the snapshot every time the spike is detected and then from processing I'm just a small trace so I think we have one second of the story just before, one second before then I can see it up so we can see the review and idea we have metrics for each latency measured by the latest tracker and every time you see a bigger line that's above the baseline we also have an annotation with a smaller orange triangle and if you click on this orange triangle you get reports that are fully automated in the end so the latest tracker takes the high latency and sends it to several processes to extract the profile here is the high latency frequency distribution and then it's allocated to the government just click on the link and you can get a full picture of what was happening exactly in the latency frequency of two outliers in the range of four microseconds in the range of five microseconds and then we have to the time period to look at the documentation finally the last mode that we have been working on for the past eight months is the rotation mode so it's expected to be released in March 2018, it's currently under review and the idea of the rotation mode is that combines the normal tracing mode which you just trace on this with the snapshot mode which is creating small traces so now we write to this all the time and whatever you want you can just type at 10.08 and it takes the current chunk of data and writes it into a separate folder and the trace comes into the right mode on this so in the end it comes here every minute executes at 10.08 set one thing, one minute trace so now I think we do trace that covers the normal tracing session or small snapshots so it's a big difference and again it's dependent on the new space sometimes snapshots are better on different spaces but this is really useful also you can do it from one trace to trace we have customers that trace all the time and traces become really huge so they want to every hour use the trace, compress it and keep it for storage so if they need some time to use the trace you can just get from the storage instead of having to start the session and then you can close events between sessions with this mode you don't close any event just switching to the directory and you can use the trace as a really small self-contact event so it can run differently depending on the disk size so if you can also just rotate process the trace before like that and then start the trace you don't keep too much storage on your computer you can use that to every minute expect really low level data you just want some high-end trace for attaching to that you choose how long it takes and also for post-processing because sometimes just generating this graph from a 10 second trace can take more than 10 seconds depending on the load and the number of events so with this kind of process you can just expect the staff to send it to a worker that will do the post-processing of the trace it will continue so create the trace just like creating a disk session just create one row and after the start when the activity is running then you can just type extend your rotate and you can see the path of the worker that they've found between the start and the rotate then if you wait a bit and re-invict your rotate you will get the path to the now and the previous rotation you will really get the full control to understand between the two robots and then we have two, we have the trace compass which is a graphical group you want to look at the data graphically and see what's going on it gives you a way to explore by process or by results also in the winter months through days you are in the histogram or kind of graphical and we are also working on the new tool which is also a processing tool you are able to really look into a trace and find what's going on those are especially useful for race conditions you don't want statistics like the tools I've created before you really want to see the full background have the nano-saving escape and really see what's happening what's running on the stem why this process got created you will see interrupts and you will see everything from the 3D volleyball group and you want smaller traces because I can pay ages to process the stem the stem chart operation is very easy to extract whatever information from the production environment it's efficient camera and other space spaces the traces are really separate at the end you can version them and see the camera events so you will see the full time you can use commentary in 4D distribution we know a few parameters that you did in the telecommunication and alternative environments also and there are lots of ways to configure the engine and depending on the workspace you can just select the one that is most interesting for you so if you have any questions it's not for you it's just for the engine that runs inside the Java or Python languages so they are built in Java but they start with engine or they are used to process output other space spaces from the property of space so instead of using the engine pro or even switch the camera every time it's just fully in the space and I'm also curious when do you see when do you see a stress in the engine mostly in the engine so the main difference I feel at the beginning is that you have trace buffering and trace aggravation and those are really complementary when you see an engine you get a statistic when you have reports when something changes it's not operating at the time so you can go back to time and look at the detailed trace compared to VCC or you would just hit histogram 3 or statistics so usually we use trace aggravation to make problems and then if we want to go back at that exact time when the high intensity are open for example you look at the truth so that's why you can use the perfect truth but it's really not made for high support just as a face art it's just a banner because you can expect a lot more from this but it's just it's not meant for continuous living Any other questions?
