Governor Samuel Autumn of Benway State wants the federal government to help stop the invasion of farmland by herdsmen. The governor says this will remove the fears farmers face as they get set to embark on full scale farming during the crop season. He stated this while flagging off the distribution of improved seedlings and crops to thousands of farmers. Benway State is known as the food basket of the nation. It is still known by that appellation but the amount of food produced has been badly hit by insecurity and cases of cattle eating up farmland. Governor Samuel Autumn is mindful of this and he is here to distribute improved seedlings and crops to 22,400 farmers across the 23 local government areas of the state. Autumn says the seedlings and crops were high yielding and drought tolerant. We are going into watermelon production in mass and where the seedlings are here these false efforts we have experimented and we discovered that it can do well here. And we are not just looking at producing maize for consumption, we intend to massively produce it just like we produce soya beans. The Benway State Commissioner for Agriculture and Natural Resources Timothy Eger on his spot calls on the private sector to engage in the production of improved seedlings so they can be readily available to farmers. These achievements are coming despite the challenges that the governor and the government of Benway State is experiencing at the moment. This seed program is very timely now that have created an enabling environment for our farmers especially the IGPs to return to the essential homes. Those people that said that was not possible that is what they are doing now. We want to thank you on behalf of the chairman and the management to want to thank you for what you have done. The flag of ceremony had 4,666 improved rice seedlings, 230 bags of maize seedlings, 690 tins of melon seedlings and 10,000 cassava stems. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.

Huh? I don't know if you saw this last video that's going to come out here soon, but Noah put the whooping army on the lake. I have to take it like a man. He beat me. I was just taking it easy on him. So, now we're about to do a tackle episode because Noah has all this tackle that Awesome Strike King sent him and it's in boxes everywhere. And he came home and I got on and said, boy, you better organize your stuff. Clean your room. So, he's about to clean his room or he's going to get put in time out and we're going to take you guys along for the ride. We got Alan Bob back in the videos too. Good Alan Bob.

I'm ready to do some fishing down here. We're going to be doing some fun fishing, but Alan Bob hasn't been on the channel. Like, bro, it's been a long time. Like, I know a lot of you guys remember Alan Bob, but a lot of you guys probably like, who is Alan Bob? Like, it's crazy. It's been that long. But I think the last time you left the channel we got like 150,000 subscribers and now it's at like 550,000. So it's just crazy. Thank you guys so much by the way. We're on the road to a million this year so we got to make it happen. I know you guys saw in like a recent video over the last few months, we got all this tackle from Strike King. Big shout out to them as well. Thank you so much for sending this out to me. It's a lot of stuff. So we have to organize this because right now I've been living out of a Parker's grocery bag literally throwing a couple of baits in there. I got to organize my stuff. I got to make it happen because this is like one part of my life that I got to get taken care of and I got to get organized. So that's what we're doing today. Got a lot of baits. You know, we got some this is a new box that actually just came in right here. We got worms, crank baits fishing line crawls swim baits gigs and chatter baits and some top water. So we got a lot of organization to do. My main goal is to organize the boat. So we're going to get like all these boxes over here which I'll show you and deck out the whole boat and then like later on however much tackle I have we're going to get the rest and like throw it in the back of my truck.  So we're going to be like decking out my truck but we got like all these boxes from Bass Pro yesterday. I don't think we have enough but we literally bought all the boxes that they had. So that's what we're going to have to work with. Don't do that. Like those boxes are great for like lures, you know, heartbates, everything. And then I got these boxes which I'm like more excited about than anything like how much room these boxes have. So if we didn't want to like take soft plastics out of their bags which I'm not a big fan of doing we could just like kind of line them up like and we can like put like all the crawls in here. You know we don't have to worry about anything. I think that's the best way to organize that. How's it go? Alright so let's get all this stuff in the boxes enjoy the time lapse. Let's give you guys a little update of where we're at so I haven't put anything in the boxes yet but we got everything organized so like right here we got some spinnerbaits right here we got jigs right here we got like 8xd's 10xd's um, thunder crickets in there, smaller crankbaits lipless crankbaits bigger lipless crankbaits still organizing that, still organizing that over here you got the cannons pythons you got, what's that crawls and chunks that's like menaces worms sankos net rigs fishing line monster, monster topwaters look at it compared to my foot those things are massive got some smaller topwaters jerkbaits poppers frogs buzzbaits and that's about all that's where we're at right now so now we're gonna end up doing is taking all these out of the packages and organizing them in the boxes it's gonna be a hard part so let me show you guys exactly what we've done so far we're getting some good progress let's come over here to the big screen how much are you doing in the big screen so far I have organized the spinnerbaits these are the burner spinnerbaits you can tell they're a little heavier and they got a thin blade on them these are your normal two grade the new ones are spinnerbaits and now I'm organizing your buzzbaits and we got different weights, I'm putting the same colors we got different weights in here and I'm just gonna try to stuff as many in this box and still keep it organized as possible looking good we got jigs, we still gotta do worms and all the crawls I still gotta figure out what I'm really doing but this, because I have one of these big box out which I had another one, I should have bought another one because it's all these swimbaits that's probably the most of anything we got swimbaits, so I might have to end up sacrificing this box for the swimbaits when in reality I want to put the crawls there and I organized a lot of top orders and jerkbaits so look at this box right here look at that there's some massive top orders guys huge top orders compared to my foot, it's ridiculous we got that box we got a sad looking little popper box we don't have to get some more to fill it out but those are the poppers we got some sexy dogs right here some regular walking baits we got bone color sexy shower chrome got this ghost minnow color some translucent, it's like a nude color it's a little natural chrome bone little box this one has to be my favorite SIFR it's the first one I did, it's like the jerkbaits so we got some of the natural shad colors up here they're all natural shad colors got a bonus white translucent with some purple back some neat color, some smaller ones this is probably one of my favorite colors look at that color it's got purple on top chartreuse on the bottom like a translucent side they got some blue with a little bit of chrome in it some more sexy shad colors it's come together pretty good so much tackle and then alibaba, show them the trap house alibaba's got the trap house over here just about all done that's a nice box that's a good looking box you get a good feeling when you're at the next box that's probably one of my favorite colors purple and white looks tight I like it now we just gotta figure out the soft plastics because one thing that every time I organize my tackle in boxes I don't like putting the soft plastics out of their packs it's just not something that I like to do I like to keep them in their bags and I like putting them in boxes like this to pull out the pack I just feel like that's a lot more convenient and if I need to take baits out of the boat to good pond fishing, bank fishing, kayak fishing they're easily accessible and I'm not going to be able to take all these worms individually out it just doesn't make really any sense look how many of these things we got it's crazy some of these are flukes but for the majority they're swim baits and blade minnows I don't know I have no idea where to tackle this one at I don't have a dang clue and then we gotta get all the crankbaits organized square bills, deep divers, 10xd's, 8xd's that's gonna be a job as well top water is just about done gotta put the frown in the box we're looking good we have to roll out the Walmart for just a couple minutes we've got a few more boxes we've got three of these waterproof boxes right here just some extra stuff and then we've got these two big top water containers and these are gonna be for like the swim baits the swim baits just aren't gonna fit in that other box so I think it'd be a lot better if we could keep one of these in the boat if we could figure out where to put it and then the other one would like to go in the RV it's kind of an update what else have you done with XT Bar we're going we've got a square bill box done with your 1.5 or 2.5 and then just a normal square bill and I've got your 3xd and 5xd box almost finished up dad's been home doing the work big boys running around playing you know what's up big boys know how to work we grind, we've got horsepower I've been kicking butt finishing up we're really layering it down now I've got some crank baits that I just organized we've got some 1.5 flat sided we've got some of the series 4 series 3's a couple other smaller crank baits that we're organizing he's messing around with Ned baits we weren't gonna take this off plastics it's really hot I'm just not a big fan of doing that but the Ned baits I think that's a good choice I think that's gonna be fine but as you can tell I'm lining up these crank baits they're like 5 of the same color we're loading all like dirty water colors at the top natural colors would be at the bottom so we're all organized right so we're almost done and right after this I have something to show you guys as I said earlier we have a big special surprise in this video you probably saw it at the beginning of the video but we ended up getting the RV wrapped big shout out to ZD Cal Z they did an awesome job big thanks to them it's just looking crazy guys I would have never imagined that we would have got this done but once I bought the RV I had a vision for it and I was like let's just go for it you know we're gonna travel around do a bunch of big trips have a bunch of fan meetups bringing the RV out and it's just a blessing very thankful for it by the way I got my grandma the fam kicking their bass fam how you doing? that's my grandma I was showing her this is her first time seeing it today too so let's show you guys the RV this is the bass bus finally got it complete and it is looking gnarly I'm not gonna lie they did a great job big shout out to ZD Cal it's looking freaking awesome we're gonna do a bunch of different graphics and stuff on the wrap but right now it's just basic with kicking their bass but look how big the muscle fish is back here I mean it's freaking huge I can't even reach my arms around and he's so big on the back of this thing it's just insane guys insane it's a straight billboard you come around here to the back got it pretty clean and simplistic back here just kickingtheirbass.com by the way if you guys wanna check out some merch you wanna support your boy kickingtheirbass.com that's the website got our handles on there YouTube, Instagram, Facebook come around the side same on this side muscle fish kicking their bass and if you guys see it's all blacked out right here then it fades into the cryptic camo that we have on the truck and the boat right here which fades into this white cryptic which just looks so tight I love how the white looks on this thing looks really good if you guys look I don't know if you guys can really tell but these big stripes right here is actually a big American flag so you got stars that are actually wrapped around the front over here if you guys look there's a star to the American flag there's the stripes you come on this side this is mainly where the stars are right over here you can see like all the stars on there but it's tight they did a great job it's just a blessing to be able to do this guys I'm very thankful that I'm able to do this and I wanna be able to purchase this RV this whole thing if it wasn't for you guys supporting the channel over the years and it's just a blessing we're gonna be taking this thing on the road filming some sick content for you guys and traveling all over the place I'm gonna have some big fan meetups this year too and I'll keep you guys posted on that I'll be popping through with the videos if we end up having some dates and locations where we're heading I would love to come meet a bunch of you guys this year I think that's something I really wanna hit on is meeting a bunch of the supporters of the channel more than any of this other stuff I wanna be able to meet the family meet the supporters of the channel hey can you be quiet on set I'm trying to sleep inside here I'm trying to sleep inside here and he's making all this ruckus what's wrong guys I love this thing he just whipped it around the cul-de-sac a little bit it's not that bad it's fun when you got a boat on the back of it it adds another 25 foot it's about 60 foot long I mean it's not horrible it's just you can't see the boat behind it so you gotta be cautious I mean you're as big as an 18-wheeler so you gotta be careful I'm ready to get to the lake start a campfire throw on the grill some hot dogs, hamburgers steak and let it happy and look at this this is where Cody was picking up on Alan Bob and Cody looked at this last night so there's a TV on the outside of the RV and the TV are kicking their best TV out on the TV I got a TV on the TV I wasn't going to make a solid video just over this but we're going to be having a lot of content out of this thing if you guys want to see some cool RV videos let me know as well we kind of want to go some highway roadside pond fishing with the RV if you guys want to see that let me know down below I don't think anybody has done that yet gotta do some things different baby we're going to go over here we got all the tackle organized and I think the last step of this process is just to get it all in the boat get it all packed together and then we're going to be heading back to Savannah that's the whole trip big shout out to my parents for letting everybody come over we had a good week and the weather was nice too so that's a plus let's go ahead and pack everything up in the boat finished all the tackle organization let me tell you that was a lot so much tackle like $15,000 worth big shout out to for hooking me up with the baits very thankful for that big shout out to Alan Bob big Steve, Cody and my mom for helping me out with this whole process we got it all knocked out today so now the last step is just to get all the baits inside the boat and then go fishing with them that's the final little step but I hope you guys enjoyed this video if you guys want to see how I organize this inside the boat check us out in one of the upcoming videos because I'm going to show the inside of the compartments and then go out and catch some really big bass I think this is going to help us on the water everything that we need is all going to be organized and you know when I'm thinking about hey they might eat this and I might not have it with me this time we're having everything with us so we're going to be able to catch a lot more fish in my opinion but if you guys enjoyed this video please hit that like button if you guys are new to the channel hit that subscribe button I appreciate the love and support I'll catch you guys in the next one


We've all seen the defensive statistics and they've given up like 15 points a game or whatever it is. We haven't given up 20 in a game. How frustrating is it to be 2-4 seeing those numbers? You know, it's just, you feel like you could be better. The 2-4 season, I don't feel like that defines us at all. You know, it's a sad thing, the fact that we are 2-4. But at the same time, I feel like we're looking forward to the next challenge that we've got for this week, man, with the charges. You know, the only thing we can do right now, we can't let this thing, you know, linger like I always say, each and every week. A loss is a loss. There's nothing you can do right about it right now. And the only thing you can do right now is to prepare for this next week and try to win. On defense, isn't the most dangerous thing always trying to do too much? Yeah. I would say it's really more of just the little things as far as our defense. I feel like we just want to be as perfect as possible. We have such high standards for ourselves. Anything we give up, if it's a run, whether it's field goals or anything, we have really high standards. And I feel like it's the same way with the whole team. So we just try to make sure that everything, as far as the mindset, we just try to keep the same thing each and every week and that we want to be perfect. How big of a cloud is the quarterback situation in this locker room right now? I mean, for us as a defense, I know it's a situation where we, I mean, there's nothing really we can do about it because it's a whole different side. The only thing we can do is, you know, try to apply our offense as many opportunities as possible. I feel like that's what great defenses do. You know, regardless of the situation that we're in, whether we're, you know, field position that we're in, we just want to try to make sure that, you know, we handle our end on that side. This is such a close-knit locker room. How important is it for you guys to, like, maybe physically tell the offense, remind them, we got your back, man. Don't worry about it, we got your back. Yeah, we will continue to say that. You know, because it might be a game that we might be down on some stuff, and, you know, teams are going on as you never know, so you want to continue to keep that chemistry. At this point in time in the year, you don't want to try to, you know, part ways with guys. You don't want to have that type of, you know, environment or energy around the locker room. You want to, you know, try to keep this thing as positive as possible. And once you get a win-up on your belt, you know, it's a lot easier to cope with some of the losses that you had in the past than you're able to, you know, kind of get a more confident team and, you know, get a kind of momentum going. If Jay-on's out for a while, how important is it to have a guy like Wesley who can step in and play 59 snaps? Yeah, it's very important. You know, Wesley never lost a step, man. I mean, he picked out where he left off, and, you know, have that type of guy to be able to play as long as he has in the league and be able to, you know, continue to do the great things that he's been doing, man. They just, you know, I got kudos to him, man, and, you know, it's definitely inspiring to me. You know, hopefully I can be able to play as long as he played and be able to still play and run and do the things that he's doing now. So, you know, it's a definitely impressive thing to, you know, see. It feels on the outside, like this team and this season, is that a crossbar. Do you feel that? I just feel like, you know, as a whole, we just, you know, guys, this is not something we expected.   The good teams and the great teams is the difference is the fact of how they respond. If you're able to come out and be able to get a couple wins of bunny a belt and be able to turn this thing around, that's the main thing. Do you think you have the guys in this locker room too? I think we do. I think we do. I think it's all about, you know, what we're doing wrong and not so much what everybody else is doing. You know, the number one thing is for every guy to hold himself accountable to know and be able to look themselves in the mirror and be like, you know, do I need to be better at certain situations and be able to, you know, do those things and be able to respond on Sundays. So, you know, once we, once we handle it, I feel like we'll be all right. You remember the Marcus that won the Heisman and the guy. How hard is it to believe, having seen all that, that you're in the situation that you're right now, waiting to find out who's going to start on Sunday? Yeah, you know, this is the name of the game and NFL is unpredictable. Whether it's an injury, whether it's somebody's, you know, change his position or anything. So, even with Marcus's situation, I mean, the guys, in his situation, he's doing everything he possibly can to be able to help win. And, you know, sometimes it goes away, sometimes it don't.


rhythm guitars take up as much space as you will give them they're almost like a liquid if you pour rhythm guitars into a mix they will fill every space and start to dominate so we really have to make sure that they don't go crazy and just swallow the mix this is them EQ'd and this is without the EQ so it's subtle because the guitar tones were kind of relatively balanced the choice of cabs and microphones is a big part of that so try your best to get the most appropriate cabinet and microphone choice for the mix for that for the rhythm versus the lead and then the EQ should be relatively small moves


Yeah, hi, good morning or whatever. Thanks for the upfront given trust. You're coming to my talk. So I talk about how convincing is killing open standards. It's a little bit more like a political than a technical talk, let's say this way. About me, I'm working for German-based companies named Netways and Isinga. I'm from Nuremberg in Germany. It's a part of Bavaria. We say it's Franconia. So from the outside it's Bavaria, but anyway. This is where we're coming from and my nice colleagues over here. So what is the motivation for the talk? So where I'm coming from, I started, apart from doing some window stuff at home, I started Solaris Admin at the time, came into Oracle DBA business, ended up in an open source company where I'm now and there's a pretty high chance that I retire there, I guess. And if you start your technical career with Solaris, it's also a chance that you're kind of old, right? Because nowadays you typically don't start as a Solaris Admin. And if you are in that industry for a couple of years and I'm in that industry now for 27, 28 years, you have some perspective looking back how things kind of repeat means you're all not from the technical perspective that we reinvent ourself every 10 years and everything we figured out the last 10 years we forget it, reinvent it from scratch. So that's part of our industry, but without some curiosity in it and looking on it, which things have not changed at the time I was starting and still doing, you want to do something great and would like to improve your work, improve your collaboration and everything. So looking back on a time machine, when I started my career or was given in this situation, this was pretty much what we had. And this is not the real picture, so there's a real picture coming later. This is Seattle Airport, so they don't have sun microsystems and HUX. But this is the given situation we had at this time in the company that we have still, we had IBM host environments, we had Windows and we were the hipsters at the time, like the Solaris and HPX guys, we were like the, let's say, the others didn't like us so much for the host, dudes, we were not so welcome. But this was the given set, so we had sun microsystem, we had HPX and of course we want to do a lot of things. I worked for a European retailer at the time, his name was Quelle. I don't know if anyone knows this, usually the older ones, because the company does not exist anymore. So it was really a big retailer in Germany and Europe at the time. And we had a lot of to do and web shops are starting to be a thing and we try to figure out how we can, I don't know, provide web shop, we had inter shop at the time and all that thing, e-commerce. It was around 20,000 or 2,000 years, no, got it, 2,000 years, 20,000, 20,000, 2,000, 99, I don't know, 99,000, somewhere. And there was a lot of things to do and every time we were pretty much vendor driven at the time because we had the vendors where they were very active, especially their sales representatives and every time we wanted to do something to solve a problem, setting up an application server, doing authentication, it was super clear that we had to talk to them which tool can we buy for Solaris or for HPX to solve the problem. And all the time it's super easy, we have something for you. We have a crazy good suite that solves all your problems, you have to buy it, perhaps it's not so cheap, but it will work. And even every time we bought this and we wanted that, we ended up having this. So we bought a product and we bought a suit and we installed it and then it didn't work and then we attached something. And often we improved the tools we bought to a horrible way that the supposed improvement made it really worse. And in Germany, we have a word for this, is verschlimmbesserung, so making things worse, trying to improve it. And this was exactly what happened all the time. We worked on stuff, often we bought something, never used it and did our own stuff. So at the end, the official website ran on a Linux desktop under one's other's table, since we had two crazy expensive Sun Microsystems machine in the data center, but they did not work at all.  So at the end, it was really, really frustrating because we were bounded to having these tools. And what came up at the time that we saw some standards, standards were already in Solaris and HPOX. There's like the POSIX standard where you have common sense how we access a file system or tools like SED, AWK and all that stuff. So that was pretty cool because it gave us some chance of interoperability of that way we can use the system. So even like the Solaris folks were able to work on the HPOX system a little bit, except it came really to like configuring or tuning the system. And what came with this, that there was really a change in working together and collaboration. Also at this time, like these new tools started to be more and more popular. So even for the enterprise units, things like for Solaris was something like Sun Freeware. Perhaps somebody still knows it where you could get open source tools and can enrich or pretty much kick out your enterprise. You'd use some open source tool compiled for your Solaris system. And it was just great because you could solve problems. Also Linux started to become a thing. Of course, not officially.  And, pardon? Okay, yeah, we were advanced at the time, of course. So we officially, we did not do anything on Linux, but at the end we ended up that a lot of production systems which went to the outside we did on Linux. So I remember honestly, we had the same position the host dudes had on us. We had the same position to the people in our team who started with Linux because they did kernel compiling the whole day. And we were just looking to them and said, what are you doing? Yeah, I forgot a module. I have to recompile the kernel again.  I'll do it. So we were really laughing about them at the same time. So we had the totally same percent of this just, this will never succeed, obviously, as we know now it did. And so we ended up to really get in favor with Linux and the tools and the systems and toolings. And then, I don't know, VMware at the time was then coming up where you can have a virtual machine on your desktop and it was like mind-blowing. So a lot of things came with that and means it's changed the IT world. We all knew it then. Also we changed to us at the time that you are, we're way more involved than just walking in your company, you get out to communities. So we worked with others on the internet to figure out why you have a specific bug or why a package does not work. So it was also at the time for me, and I guess also for my colleagues at the time, where you really moved out and had a conversation about your internal technology with other people out there. And this was new because we just were all in our silos. There was like the network team, the storage team, and everyone was just like working. And if we had a question or bug, we asked the vendor. That was how we worked and this changed everything because we asked people outside. We have a problem and people answer an IRC. So use this, this could help you. And it was really, really fast. And it worked really good. So we had a lot of diversity coming up with all this. So because we had a lot of new influence, we learned a new stuff. And it was just great. It made a lot of fun. And through the years, OK, the company got bankrupt. Perhaps it's not Linux fault and also hopefully not my fault. I did other things. I moved on and time flies. And now 23 years later, we are totally somewhere else. So and as an entry for the talk, so where we are now? Perhaps it's not so bad. I think, of course, passion let us hear. So all of you, I see this is really a very active and vibrant community. So everyone involved in some way, open infrastructure, open source, there's really a lot of passion. Way more passion. I remember was at the time when we just bought some tools and used it. There's way more passion in our industry now. Which is still there and I love it. We have way more open source than ever before. So I think it's pretty much talk all the time and I think this is not new. But open source, it's just there. It's everywhere. On the other hand, we see a movement. And perhaps you can say this is not the right conference because we are on the OpenStack train and don't use a public cloud or we use both. But perhaps it gives you some arguments later on in the talk to give you. That we see a movement that we see less and less hybrid in private cloud environments because the trend is all over our industry moving to the hyperscalers, moving to the public cloud. Wherever we have a lot of small service providers, we are an OpenStack, public OpenStack provider. There are many of them. But this is the trend we see as an industry. And I have a little bit of a problem or I see a problem with this. So where is this problem? So first of all, I would say open source. And this is often a mismatch. Open source does not mean by any way this is an open standard because it's open source. Doesn't mean you have really a standard to rely on because the standard is something which is accepted by a consortium like, I don't know, HTML or HTTP is or a JSON or something like this is kind of standards where working groups or people approve that this is the way it should be. And then you have a reliable format. On the other hand, you have something like de facto standards. Like, I don't know, working with S3, right? Amazon created it. Pretty much every tooling has some API to work with. It's kind of a standard because you have to deal with it. Everybody deals with it the same way. So it's kind of a standard created, same like Kubernetes. It's also kind of a standard. But what comes with this, and this is the real picture, is we have a very unbalanced market. And that is one of the points I would like to bring up. So we have that. And this is really like the picture taken at Seattle Airport. So you work for A, you work for B, or you work somewhere else in coach, right? And this is where I see a problem not especially for us to not making revenue for anyone, but in some way, I see a risk for the industry and also for the basic and fundamental ideas of the internet and decentralized systems and all that stuff. So where we are here, perhaps you've seen these numbers, this is a pretty new cloud report. I know there's like 10 of cloud reports, and you can also, I don't know, fake statistics the way you want it to be. But just if you really would look it up, where I have the numbers from, we see a clear turn where we are. So it's pretty much a world in the public, consisting out of these three, perhaps four players. And there's, of course, a long tail in the others, but this is where we see where it's going on. It's really, for me, still crazy how Azure really made their business in the last year. So AWS was far ahead and Azure did really, really good for various reasons, I guess, from the technical perspective, I don't know so much, but I think the big advantage they have that they have a very, very, very good sales infrastructure and pretty much every customer in the world into their CIM system. And that gave them the chance to keep up and they did very well. But we have no standards on this. And even if we had cloud standards, like, I don't know, OCCI, somebody knows OCCI? Okay, some of you know ever somebody cared about it. It's like open cloud computing interface, something like the Open Ebola folks for this. So there are kind of standards or OVF, like the open virtualization format, but even like in our, I would say, peer group, it's not really that we care about it so much. And it ended up that other tools take that spot for us. So tools like Terraform and Ansible, I think one of the reasons why they are popular is because there is no standardization. So there's no standardization to working with our toolings and with our platforms that we use other tools like Terraform and Ansible to, I don't know, provision our infrastructure. And even if it's not standardized, I'm not a Terraform specialist, but it's not the way that you do all the AWS configuration in Terraform and then exactly just run it against Google Cloud, this is not how it works. So it's even like different providers and you have to adjust them that way. But it's the reason because people need kind of a standard interface to interact, except they use the vendor-given tool to interact with another provider. I think there's a big change with it is Kubernetes because it is kind also a de facto standard where you can deploy your workload on let's say any Kubernetes provider out there. So in some way I see a chance in it. I don't know exactly how that steering and that controlling of the project works exactly. I know it's like in the foundation how they do it. I don't see so much work invest into standards of all that this, but it's in some way perhaps a self-driven like baby because everybody's doing the same thing and in some way creating a de facto standard we see with it. But it has a crazy big impact on open source. And why? Because we have different methods, how especially like the big hyperscalers work with open source software. And the thing is how they give back and contribute back to the community. So different cloud providers have different methods to provide solutions. There's things like they provide an elastic search. There was a lot of going on with elastic search and Amazon in the last years. If you followed that topic which ended up like having open distro and all the things. So it has an impact on the industry how open source can be innovative but also has a chance to make revenue especially if the direct contact to the customer is cut off because this is what happened in that market. And this ended up in fear and protection by the providers that they came up with all the different licenses. I don't know if you have about the service side public licenses is the thing you have heard of. Like companies like Redis did it for instance that you can use it open source but if you use it as software as a service provider you cannot use it. So they kind of fear that their revenue stream which is usually okay fine use Redis but you use if you need Redis enterprise whatever give us money. That is pretty much the business model but of course it's not working anymore if like a software as a service provider sits on top take Redis has the power and money to make his own product move it forward then these revenue stream to the creator and developer of the product is just cut off. And this ended up in licenses which are not really open source license by the open license perspective. Redis does it, MongoDB did it. So all these in some way ended up that we have new licenses on the market not really now everyone knows how that works. And the thing is that open stores and standards need support and support is usually money. So we need someone who gives people who are working on this company who are working on this and honestly also open source and all the toolings we work with is mainly done by companies. They pay people to do it. Of course there are people working at night or during the day whatever their work shift is on their free time for open source but the majority of open source development is done by companies paying their people for it. So the idea that everyone is doing it in front of Netflix and doing just some open source is just not true. It's perhaps 3%, 4% but not more the rest is on a payroll. And this movement and this is where my point is if we cut down and if we take that layer out that the open source and open standard communities, companies and people have a way to make in some way also a living out of it it will have a deep, deep impact on how innovation could end up in this business. And this is something you can technically also see that innovation is happening in areas like Postgres where some of the big providers adjust the open source database in a way that it's super easy to go in but it's way, way harder to get your data out because they already use kind of standards or extras in their implementation which are by far not standard anymore and you cannot use all the things you can use in an AWS Postgres in just the open source Postgres because it does not work anymore and that's really a thing. So where do we end up with all things? I have still a couple of time. So we are, I don't know, somewhere platform infrastructure, software function and even if you dig deeper and you are to a function level when you are with your products, with your platform on a function level it's really, really hard to have a multi-cloud strategy. So if you use, I don't know, lambda functions it's really hard to go somewhere else. It's pretty much I would say it's impossible. It could be a decision to do it but you are stuck with it. And there's an argument to say okay perhaps here's like an old man yelling at the cloud this is like it is and in some way it's true an old man yelling at the cloud. Is it all commodity like power and water so is the way it is? So we just, I don't know, think different and give up on that. And I think if you wrap your mind around it this is some truth in it. But on the other hand if you see what other companies doing with things like water and pumping out how South Africa and sell the water for $2.5 a bottle of water because they pretty much bought all the rights on water and even if it should be a commodity right it's not there. Okay, I don't know. So power, it's the same. Like energy, I don't know if gas is the right energy this is perhaps room for another track to talk about energy but also like energy is in some way commodity that you have access to it but the pricing and the right on pricing on a fair price and a price related to the price your provider buys the energy is by far absolutely not fair and it's also not commodity because it's a control market by a couple of companies and this is what I see as a problem with commodity or with the perspective that IT and IT services are commodity service they are in some way but we don't have to forget this is like provided and given and sold by companies you wanna be profitable and make their investors richer than they were before and this is totally fine because this is like, I don't know, capitalism works but it also comes with a downside. Well, I would say perhaps a little bit could be but at the end I hope not. So I totally get it that this convenience thing is absolutely a risk. I use like an iPhone. This is like super convenient. We can discuss it also later on if it's really like open standard, free open source pretty much it's not but I don't know why this is working. I can do my stuff, it just works. I can upgrade it from one version to another without like taking a week off. So it's just convenience I decided to go into it and all that money I put in the app store it's just like a sunken ship somewhere it's in there I will never get it back but as far as I worked with it, it works for me it's a risk I take, right? Walking in that golden cage it's the same like if you invest your money in Android app so pretty much there's no alternative because we just have like Android and iOS okay there's like still Nokia some whatever but this is it, right? So it's a risk we take but lock in is a risk as well. So really going to a way where you give everything you have and all your technology and all your deployments and all your data to someone which is not playing in an open standard field is also a risk and it's not, I'm absolutely not saying that it's not a risk you cannot take or you should not take. I'm concerned that so many in our industry don't see it as a risk. So this is what, I don't know, 15, 20 years ago this was a major topic was always like prevent vendor login, it was really a big issue even if we visited customers if you made a decision for a product like vendor login prevent vendor login was really a strategically topic I would say many, many companies and nowadays it seems to be like just disappeared in some companies. They like so yeah we do it fine everything in there we use it oh damn it it does not work what we do now and I don't get it why even if we make the decision to do so we forgot about the risk in it and of course I get it if you are slow it's also a risk right if you have a fantastic business idea and would like to come up with a new application or I don't know the new social network you will pretty much not hire like 20 engineers by co-location space by 20 servers and do all that from stuff of course you would go in some way using a cloud provider even if it's like an hyperscaler or a small like open stack or whatever shop of course you would do you don't start with engineering because you would like to go on the market really quickly because it's super important otherwise your innovative idea someone else brought it to life or it's just like time flies by so it's also risk to be slow I totally get it but it also is kind of a concern and what wonders me in this scenario is that a lot of companies who absolutely don't have that risk of slowness because they are in the market they exactly know how that works they have a very big like how can I say it like base and base load they go to that and totally risk that vendor lock in even if they don't have a requirement for speed so where we ended up this is like the one product in cloud is cloud cost optimization I was at at KubeCon I was one was it in May in Amsterdam and in this hall like exhibition hall there were like 20 different companies which said I reduce your cloud bill by 50% and which is amazing companies I never heard 10 of them will not exist next year but this is how it is so this is a crazy big issue that people go in there have no clue what it will cost because even you can do the calculator you have no idea I think nobody ever did the calculator by far came close to the invoice you get a month later it's impossible so this is a big topic for people to figure out oh man it's really expensive and the problem with it if we have because an unbalanced market we have a pricing where just a couple of companies share that pricing and that is an economic problem you see everywhere it has nothing to do with IT so if just a couple of players are dominant in the market they control the price and you see this and this is a fantastic example even a hard one is Insulin in 2006 like a dose of Insulin in the United States cost 67 dollars oops yeah and in 2022 it was like 500 dollars because there are only two or three companies in America who produce Insulin and they were able to control the pricing on the market which ended up that so many people were not able to afford the Insulin and there were just like new law come in place I have to write it down that I don't get it wrong and just in November 2021 they brought a law that they drastically reduced the price but there was this situation in the US that in 2020 people died because they cannot afford Insulin which is super cheap the inventor sold the the patent for it for one dollar so it costs pretty much nothing Insulin is like from the amusement cost it's like worthless but if you just have two or three companies you dictate and control the price and this is in many other things like oil, energy, water and all these a lot of these resources we see is commodity controlled by really really less players in that market and means it's really no surprise it's just like in all the other industries we kind of see it coming and also in our industry it's coming right now all the public health providers increased their pricing in the last years in some disciplines because they have all so many products you pretty much it's really hard to figure out how many different products Azure, AWS or Google has nobody knows it I guess perhaps someone internally a lot of them really get way more expensive in the last years no especially at this point they are also their customers like more and more the government is in that position that they are the customer and it's like even hard to fight your provider yeah they become subservient yeah absolutely because there's such a strong dependency and honestly I don't have an answer what to do about it I have a couple of ideas which come in my slides but of course I think one thing is to talk about it like create awareness and tell people and I by far I gave this kind of talk a couple of times and people afterwards come you're totally against AWS or against Azure I'm not I'm just like I'm in favor of diversity of multiple companies of a long tail of smaller providers and not everyone needs like 20,000 regions and being available globally to just have a small shop they can use their local provider in their area but you're absolutely right it's really hard to control absolutely yeah so just coming back to finish that I'm not running out of time so we are in that market and it's also the thing of governance so who controls it who is working with it and to give you a perspective I don't know this is of course you know that this is a sheep from Venezuela there was like a ban in place in 2019 where it was not allowed for US service providers for instance to provide services to Venezuela which ended up that people there using cloud services from one day to another couldn't access the data anymore because the providers were not allowed to do so and this is also what you mentioned I would say I don't know political more unstable world that we have been 20 years ago I even don't know if it's true because somebody else was even more unsecure but in general I would say what's going on right now there's governmental control in it and also all the big hyperscalers on the United States it's a thing I just have to bring up because it's also a reality so they are still under control by I would not say by the government but by the laws of this government so if the United States decides I don't know Amazon you are not allowed to sell your services to Venezuela anymore they will not do it because they cannot and this is something also has an influence on an unbalanced market so what can you do? It's tough so first thing is creating awareness this is why I'm talking here perhaps don't follow every hype this is always a good thing some of you bought anyone bought an NFT so I did so I'm super stupid because it's just I had four more like I really had the fear of missing out if I don't have these like ape and I don't have an ape because I would not stand here if I have one of these crazy NFT apes I bought some I don't know crazy Shiba dude whatever for I don't know 150 euros my wife would kill me if she ever knows that I did it just because they had the feeling I have to do it it's the next thing right you need like a digital whatever an unfungible token which is totally nuts anyway I did it because of the fear I have to do it in some way and we have this in technology of course we have this we have like a resume driven industry we all want to work usually on the new hot stuff and this also tends to be something following a path which perhaps you should like stand up a little bit go back one step look at it from a global perspective and decide where you move so nobody really cares if you don't go to the party so sometimes it's cool to not do all the hot shit and do all the new things and just like blindly following technology, following advertisement and just have a look on an impact so perhaps the monoliths are the future right now this is the statement is from Kelsey Heithauer which is probably very prominent for not this being part of his presentations and there's a movement going on right now there was a couple of weeks ago I guess it was the AWS streaming team or something or Prime team they released a blog post or a technical paper about how they kicked out all the microservices because transferring the data between all their microservices was so expensive that they just went back to a monolith system and it was way way cheaper because they reduced the cost of it it was way easier because they don't had to transfer the data all the time it's an interesting read obviously I forget to put the link in here but you can Google it like AWS Prime monolith if you Google it it's super to read and it's afterwards I'd just like to finish because they kicked me out otherwise and it's just good to read to figure out that every trend we have will get an absolutely anti-movement a couple of years later so we will go back in a lot of systems and a lot of providers and a lot of companies who now have a very distributed like microservices infrastructure and service mesh and what so on they will go back to a more monolithic system this will happen of course it will happen in containers and it will happen in containers and Kubernetes and all that stuff but this will change cost control is the thing so if your cost control makes also sense if you work it in your data center for some reason cost control often starts just when you moved everything out to a cloud provider and then you get the invoice in it then it's way easier to read what it costs then you produce your costs internally but it also makes sense to control your costs in your own stuff to be reasonable means really try to get the pros and cons from all the things we do in that industry and this is an argument for your company or for someone else it means it's a good argument and it's a good advice for life but even like making technical decisions interoperability is super important I mean here I think I would say it's crystal clear but it's something you can demand from your vendor so you can ask your vendor and say this is important for me I want this I demand that even if I use an open source software you provide me a software as a service I demand from you that you use it in an upstream and a compatible way that I have a chance to go out and if you dig deeper you will figure out that a lot of open source software out there provided that software as a service is by far not compatible with the open source software you can download on GitHub or in the repositories because they moved on in their teams because they have the power and they can and they do so ask it figure that out prevent vendor lock in I don't know this is not modern and this is not hip in our industry anymore sometimes they have that feeling that it is not but I think it should be still a criteria in everything buying your IT business buying a car buying energy buying anything you should try to figure out what do I do when my provider now increases the pricing for 200% can I afford it do I want to afford it and what is my exit scenario and I think this should be like a fundamental thing for every decision for every like buying a technology a product or making a business decision what do you do so support variety perhaps use a lot of system that you have the chance to I don't know have a multi cloud it's also decision multi cloud is way more effort makes you slower than just going an all in one strategy but it's a thing you can think about demand contribution so ask your providers ask the companies your suppliers to contribute to make it open make it upstream and keep their ideas open sometimes doubt if this is the right thing and it's up to us so there is no government will help us if we need help it's up to us kind of in time thank you very much for all the time


Okay, so let's do this one. It's a law of multiple proportions question. It says methane and propane are both constituents of natural gas. A sample of methane contains 5.70 grams of carbon atoms and 1.90 grams of hydrogen atoms combined in a certain way. Whereas a sample of propane contains 4.47 grams of carbon atoms and 0.993 grams of hydrogen atoms combined in a different way. Show that the two compounds obey the law of multiple proportions. Okay, so remember the law of multiple proportions comes into play when you have two or more compounds that are composed of the same types of elements but different numbers of those elements. Okay, so how does it work? What you want to do is take, well, the ratio of the different elements in each one of the molecules, okay, and then divide that number that you get by the number you get from the other one. And if those two numbers are simple whole numbers, then that obeys the law of multiple proportions. Okay, does that make sense? Yeah. Okay, so if it doesn't, it's okay. We'll show it on the example, okay? So how do I do this? It sounds much harder than it actually is. So the way I usually do it, because you want to have a big number as opposed to a decimal point, you know, so like a number higher than one than as opposed to a number lower than one. So I always put the bigger number above the smaller number, yeah. So what you're going to do is just divide like that for methane and divide like that for protein, okay? And let's get our calculator out and do it together. So we're going to get 5.70 divided by 1.90, okay? And I get 3, okay, like that.  Okay, and then here, let's do the same thing. So 4.47 divided by 0.993, okay? And in that case, I get 4.50, okay? So now, well, we can say, I don't know if you can tell, but if you divide these two, you're going to get another ratio of whole numbers. But it might be hard for you to see that because if we do it like this, 3.00 divided by 4.50, that really doesn't look like two whole numbers, right? Because that one's not a whole number. But what you can do, and hopefully you've already thought about this, right? You can take them and multiply them both by the same number. And if we do that, we get 6 and 9, like that. And then we can take that down to 2 and 3, like that, okay? So 2 is a simple whole number and 3 is a simple whole number. So check that obeys the law of multiple proportions. Does that make sense? Yeah, it's much easier. It's much easier than what it seems to be, right? Yeah. Are there any more questions on this? None. Okay, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.
