Hey, this is Brett and this 2014 Ford Mustang GT Premium is stock number 12575Z. We are here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. You're new and used sports car headquarters. This 2014 Ford Mustang has the 5-liter V8 engine. It puts out 420 horsepower. This car has been fully-safetyed and inspected by our service shop per the state of Wisconsin Inspection Process. It has a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids have been checked and tapped off. And this car is 100% ready to go. We're going to go inside under the hood, start it up all the way around, of course, in this video. Sterling gray is the color. We shoot all of our videos in 1080p, 60 frames per second. So if you have HD capabilities on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or television, I highly recommend turning them on right now because it is your best way to check out the quality, condition, and options of the car before seeing it in person. And if you like the video on how we do things here at Summit Automotive, in the upper right hand part of the screen is a subscribe button to our YouTube channel. Click that and then click the bell notifications. We do videos like this each and every day here at Summit Auto. This one comes with Shelby 20-inch painted alloy rims. Looks like it has brand new brakes on the front. And it has Nitto tires. These are Invos. They are 255, 35R20s. And I'd say they have probably about half the tread left on them. So decent tread on those tires. I didn't see any scuffs or scrapes on those rims. Front fender is in excellent condition. Didn't see any denser dings on there. And the front bumper is in pretty nice shape. It does have the grille piece removed to simulate a GT500. Same thing with the hood. It has a GT500 hood on it. That looks really good. Passengers side front fender is in excellent shape as well. And this Shelby rim is in nice condition as well. No scuffs or scrapes. And as you go down this side of the car, take note of how clean the body is, how reflective and mirror-like that paint is. We take these HD videos so if you are far away or even if you're close by and just cannot make the trip down. But you're still interested in purchasing the car. You can see the car, hear the car, and have confidence in the vehicle that you're looking at. Before you even get here, so when you do get here, there's absolutely no surprises. And you can make a smart and informed buying decision from wherever you're at. The only thing I saw is that one little ding on the roof. Back rim is in excellent shape. And if this video helps you make a decision, let your salesman know that you saw the video that it was helpful and that Brett sent you. Now on the back we have Michelin tires. These are 255 35 ZR20s and they have about half the tread left as well. Get the nice louvers on there. And coming around to the back of the vehicle, rear bumpers in great shape. I didn't see any major scuffs, scrapes, dents or cracks on that. The exhaust sounds really good on this car. You get the big decklid spoiler on here. Get a GT trunk cover and it also has a brace bar back here.  But very nice and clean back here. Trunk shuts nice and solidly. And as you go down the driver's side, just as clean as that passenger's side, I didn't see any major dents or dings on the rear quarter. And for full disclosure, this back rim is in nice condition as well. Driver's side door looks really good. Do get the heated power mirrors with the blind spot mirrors.  Both of these front seats are heated. No rips or tears. You do get side curtain airbags and factory floor mats in the front. It does have auto headlamps, power windows, power locks and power mirrors. The back seats are just as nice as the front seats. No rips or tears back there.  We'll hop inside, check out the miles. Radio and everything that this car has to offer on the interior. So you can see this one has 41,487 miles. You get a distance to empty gauge there and spring cluster is nice and clean. Comes with the leather wrapped steering wheel, Bluetooth and audio controls on the right, cruise controls and information center controls on the left. Does have the shaker sound system, CD player, AM FM and Sirius XM radio capabilities. They're your climate controls, your heated seat buttons and your Microsoft sync system to connect to your Bluetooth cell phone. This one does have the ambient lighting so you can change the color of those rings on the cup holders, passenger side format and seat are in excellent condition as well. And the headliner is in really nice shape. I didn't see any rips or tears up there and it does come with home like buttons for your garage door security systems and lighting systems. We'll start it up and take a look under the hood. We'll also listen to it for just a second. Sounds really good on this car. I don't know what the exhaust is, but it sounds good. It's got a really nice rumble to it. Not really a brand name on those, but they sound really good. I would personally like to thank you for checking out the video today and hopefully from this HD video you'll have been able to verify the quality and condition of this car all the way around inside and out. It does have the projector lamp headlamps, the LED running lights there. And under the hood we have the five liter V8 Coyote engine. 420 horsepower engine bay is very clean, runs very smooth. It does have a cold air intake. Once again, this car has been fully safety and inspected by our service shop as a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids have been checked and topped off. And this car is 100% ready to go. I'd highly recommend it from a quality and condition standpoint.

So I left off in the last video saying that I was going to talk about Unicode categories and how I feel like the .NET libraries don't quite have it right. So categorization is part of the Unicode standard in a very limited form, and I'm not going to bitch about that, although I am going to suggest improvements after the fact, including something that I'm basing those improvements on, but I don't think the .NET team quite got the Unicode standard implemented the best way it could have. The standard I'm talking about is an NX, so you don't have to support it, but if you're going to support it there's a standard way to do it. Unicode NX or UAX 44, and it's specifically section 5.7.1. There's a whole chart on Unicode categories, and it's very basic, very, very basic, but it does cover at least enough for general purposes. You know, if you're not doing broad parsing things, then it's typically sufficient. You want to validate a password has at least a number and a symbol in it. It'll do the job. It'll take care of what you need. There's a lot of improvement, but we'll get into that. The things that I don't think the .NET team is doing quite right. In a few cases, they're not using the same name as the standard, which is just dumb. It's pretty minor stuff. You're still going to understand what the thing is, just looking at it. Not assigned versus unassigned. It's very obvious that they're the same thing, but it's a standard. You should be using the same name because it's a standard.  This is a very minor compared to that, but still, you strictly adhere to standards. If you disagree with the standard, then don't adhere to it at all. Do your own thing, but as Microsoft are talking about, they don't follow any standard really. They're more concerned with bug compatibility than actually reasonable things. But there's a more technical side of this that I don't think they implement quite right either. And to be fair, I don't think a lot of people do because they're not thinking about part of this. See, the categories aren't just specific things. There's broad categories too. If you look through that chart in 5.7.1, you'll notice that there are, just like I said, broad categories definitions. There's a category for letter. It includes cased letter, which is itself a broad category for lower case, upper case, and title case. Then there are other forms of the letter. There's the, what is it, combining letter and then other letter. I think are the other two definitions, categories rather. But it's clear that there's a semi-hierarchial thing going on. So does that mean you implement this through objects? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Do not do that. Given a considerably more sophisticated system, then yeah, maybe you have to do objects. But how many base level categorizations are there? I don't remember quite off the top of my head, but I think it's 27. It's less than 32, though. That's important because with 32 bits or an integer, we can do a flag set up, which conveniently ends the she-sharp world is still in enumeration, but just with the flags attribute and specific value set for each of these. That's also incredibly convenient because when we say, hey, this category is a letter, then anything in those subcategories will have those bits set and will identify as that as well. We have hierarchical behavior with the same exact performance. Yeah, that's what I mean by I don't think they quite implemented it right. It's not that they implemented it wrong, although I'll still argue that the name should exactly match. Maybe I'm just being pedantic, but again, standard terminology is standard terminology. You stick with it or you don't follow the standard at all. But aside from that, I think it's more just that they could have implemented it better. Not that they implemented it wrong, just better. So don't quite agree with how they did it. Now, I said there were some improvements that could be made. These aren't going to make it into the v4.0 release. It's not worth it delaying that to the point where I can implement this, but I'm still going to talk about it nonetheless because I wanted obvious that not only is this flags enumeration a better representation of Uax44-5.7.1, but also I want the hierarchical nature of it to serve as a sort of get you thinking about more developed and fleshed out category hierarchies. You can kind of tell I've been implementing a bit of that as individual method calls and there's a better way to do it going forward. But specific methods for detecting very granular categories, things like, or even just broad categories, is this a combining mark which would cover the spacing combining marks, the non-spacing combining marks, and the enclosing marks. But also more granular ones. Is this a superscript? Is this a subscript? Those are granular, very granular, and not supported by Uax44-5.7.1. Then I haven't added any of those methods for a while and it's because there was clearly a better way to go about doing this. We're dealing with structured data. There should be something to represent the structured data, not tons of these method calls. Because good lord, what you do not want to have going on is hit dot i, start looking for any of the methods that would start with an i and see this absolutely massive list of methods starting with is. That's namespace pollution. That's bad design. That is a nasty code smell because it makes it very hard for people to find what they want. Instead, it's clear that this should be driven by some type of data structure. Now, that's a pattern I've been doing a lot throughout Stringer, where things are driven by tables. This one is not driven by a table. Remember how I said this flags thing, set up a basic hierarchy. Well, actually, a hierarchy is the right way to deal with this. It would essentially be an object hierarchy, seriously. You wind up with the basic entry for any Unicode category at all, index inside of it, and who would it be, index or would you do static properties? Static property might make more sense. Yeah, because then that's safer. Yeah. So do a static property.  Boom, all the subcategories come up. Select one of those, dot. Additional subcategories come up, if there are any. As you go drill down deeper, you get more and more granular. As you do the opposite, as you scale back. Instead, what happens is it gets more and more broad. Each broad category has to be correct, except anything within one of its subcategories. Okay, you have essentially the same number of subcategories except anything within one of its subcategories. Okay, you have essentially the same behavior. The way it's implemented would wind up being a little bit different, but it's still the same behavior. Then all you've got to do is set up a way of allowing operators to be used between these, so that you can still do arbitrary composition, because that's the other distinct advantage to having flags. See, there are situations in various text processing algorithms where you might want to say trim or filter out multiple categories that have nothing to do with each other. They don't share a single broad category. Say, filter out any control characters and symbols so that you can look at text and numbers. Control characters and symbols don't share a broad category. You could call the same thing twice naively, and that would work if you're filtering out. It would be less efficient, because you're going to allocate an additional copy in between. It's not the end of the world, though. Trimming for those is going to be highly problematic, though, because unless you can guarantee that one is always inner of the other, trim is not going to work, really. So if you can specify combinations of these, well, that's better. And conveniently gives us a saner operator, because we can say and, like, or for combining things is just weird. So being able to say and is just a little better. Or maybe overload them both, because I could think of some context where or is appropriate. I can work out that detail when I'm actually come to it. That would require an additional type, a special type of one of these categories that isn't publicly visible, but still exists purely to combined arbitrary categories of work. I'm not the first person that's thought of this. The first person that has recognized that the UAX 44-5.7.1 is nowhere near as granular as it would be. There's a lot of convenience that can be gotten from more granular categories. It's non-standard as all technical notes are, but Unicode Technical Note 36 describes almost the exact same thing that I am describing. And in fact, is a large inspiration for where I'm coming from. I had very similar ideas, but still wasn't sure of exactly how to structure this.  Whereas, thanks to this work already largely being done, there's a table which can be used to set up this entire infrastructure. Or to work hard parsing at module initialization time, but that can be done thanks to FODI weavers. Or the upcoming changes to C-Sharp 9 if that part goes through. It's looking like it might finally go through because the FODI modular initializer has made it very clear that that functionality is desired heavily. Would that require a v5? Would I be able to introduce it as a minor version bump in the v4? Probably minor version. That's probably how that's going to go. In fact, these changes are actually probably going to involve the linguistics portion of the literature library being yanked out into its own library that CORE can depend on with the literary functions being put into CORE. Because without the linguistics portion of that library, there's not a whole lot of literature functions. It's not really special enough to justify its own library at that point. But I don't know. Maybe I can come up with a hell of a lot more. I don't know. But languages could essentially be treated as those categories because, after all, every languages orthography has a set of specific characters. So it would be useful to be able to utilize that kind of thing, to be able to specify in the same setting as a category a language as a category.  So, clearly, a lot of these functions are going to be driven through different mechanisms. As part of this, because I'm going to be doing categorization differently and because languages can essentially be treated as a form of categories, it makes sense to no longer be using the string comparison enumeration. To instead be having just a simple case enumeration, similar to what was done in stringier.patterns. And in fact, I am yanking that enumeration out. It's not going to have the no preference parameter, but I'm going to do a special conversion thing to make it so I can still use that case inside of patterns, but one with no preferences inside of core. Because if they share the same enumeration values, then you can just do an unchecked conversion and rapidly switch between the two. That's important so that I'm not doing switch case statements all over the place. I have to figure out, because as far as I'm concerned, it's a bug. I don't share the same bug compatibility level of backwards compatibility that Microsoft shares. A lot of these functions, they default it to string comparison.currentCulture, which is problematic because that's not what you expect. That is what happens. In some ways it makes sense, but it's just again, not expected. People don't test for that, which is one of the big problems with it, but also carries performance overheads that not everybody is aware of. So I've been thinking, how am I going to tackle that? Because I could stay with the .NET thing, leave the method without an explicit culture as the current culture.  I just described the problem earlier. The problem is that you don't expect that it's the current culture. People test that it's the current culture.  So there's two options as I see it. The method without a culture could either do it on the invariant culture, so then you have to specify a specific culture, or have a mechanism for specifying the current culture, but regardless, that default being the invariant culture unless explicitly specified, which makes a lot of sense. That is the reasonable default to do.  Culture.ordinal? Ordinal is not a culture. I think what should actually be done is use ordinal as default, with all of these having an override for an overload, rather, for a culture parameter, a language parameter, category parameter, whatever invariant can obviously be gotten from that. Current culture could obviously be gotten from that, and any arbitrary culture can obviously be gotten from that. No weird semantics like culture.ordinal. You could then, at some later point, provide an analyzer which simply checks for ordinal operations. And, hi, Oscar. That's my neighbor's cat. And when it detects that, it's just a warning, because it's not an error. It's not like it's obsolescent or anything. It's just a warning like, hey, just so you know this is ordinal, did you mean to do an ordinal operation? You may want to consider one of the culture overloads.  And because if you are doing performance sensitive stuff, you're going to have those all over the place, you can suppress that warning in a suppressions file and suppress it for your entire file all with one warning. I use my stuff primarily for performance stuff situations. And that doesn't sound like an impediment to me. So I don't, I think that's fine. I think it's a totally acceptable way to go about things. So I think that's what I'm going to do. All string comparisons are going to, you know, you're going to completely rework how that whole string comparison thing works. That's not going to be used as a parameter anywhere in these libraries. It's not like it's going to be hidden and wrapped up. There's, you know, it's just that goes on as I develop these libraries more and more and more. There's more of the .NET runtime that I'm not utilizing that I am actively avoiding. And it seems like it's starting to get time for this. So yeah, talked about this side of things a lot longer than I probably, than you guys probably thought I would.  So is there going to be another entry in this? I don't know.  I have. Some of it's getting put off to later releases, but I don't know. I can't safely say there's going to be another entry this time. So this might be it. Until the next video. Have a good one, guys.


Good morning. This is one of those author unknown quotations that you might have heard before. I keep it pasted on my refrigerator door, and I thought it would be particularly apropos for today. A smile costs nothing, but gives much. It enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it lasts sometimes forever. None is so rich or mighty that he cannot get along without it, and none is so poor that he cannot be made rich by it. Yet a smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give. While we don't have a page here today, would you please rise and join me in the Pledge of Allegiance? I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. As is customary at the beginning of every brand new session, we will call the roll for attendance to assure the body that there is a forum.

If there are committees that, committees are authorized to meet between now and the next time we meet, if that is the case, any member that would like to come in to listen to that committee's work can sign it with Ledge Council and we'll be paying for doing so. We have, when we adjourn, I will ask for a motion to adjourn until Tuesday at 10 o'clock for discussions with your leadership. That will be a token session to advance the work that any committees do today and we will be back here by Tuesday. We will make the decision whether we adjourn until 10 a.m. on Wednesday or 1 p.m. next Wednesday depending on whether or not committees need additional time Wednesday morning for anything or if we need additional time on the floor depending on our workload. By that time there may also be a need for caucuses. So we will be back here as a full body next Wednesday. Please stay in touch with caucus leadership and your committee chairs about any work that is happening in the intervening days and we will make sure that you have that information. Are there any announcements? Member from St. John'sburg. Good morning Madam Speaker. Actually I have a question for the speaker. H6 I introduce, I do not hear you say where what committee went to so I would know who to go see and so I'll have you may say where that was sent to, I would appreciate it. To judiciary. Thank you. Are there any other announcements? Member from Rochester. Madam Speaker, I move that for this special session the gentleman be allowed to take off their jackets. You've heard the motion, perhaps one of the most popular motions that will be made this session. Are you ready for the question? If so, all those in favor please signify by saying aye. Aye. Those opposed, nay. Nay. I support this special session. I just want to let everyone know that Boy State will be here on June 21st and anyone that would like to assist in helping during the day would be most welcome. We generally hold committee sessions where members have worked with the boys in committee and help them develop and assist them of trying to give them as much of the real thing as possible.

I would say that the Senate is a full Senate to Wednesday but there will have to be a token which is why the adjournment is to Tuesday not Wednesday. Now you've heard the reading of the resolution, the question is shall the Senate adopt the resolution on its part? Are you ready for the question? If so, all those in favor please signify by saying aye. Aye. Those opposed signify by saying nay. The ayes have it and you have adopted the resolution. We now have some bills for introduction. We have Senate Bill 1, an act relating to health insurance, chiropractic care, physical therapy in the Department of Vermont Health Access. Please listen to the first reading of the bill. That's one, an act on the co-payment limits for chiropractic care and physical care. I also feel that it is introduced by the Committee on the Rules by the way. Now the bill has been read for the first time and pursuant to a 48 is placed in the calendar for notice on the next succeeding day. We now have Senate Bill 2 for introduction and was introduced by the Committee on the Rules. It is an act relating to commerce and trade and consumer protection. Please listen to the first reading of the bill. That's two, an act for the regulated finance and leases for credit card terminals. Now the bill has been read for the first time and pursuant to a 48 is placed on the calendar for notice the next succeeding day. Now for introduction S3, introduced by the Committee on the Rules. An act relating to education and protecting students and sexual exploitation. Please listen to the first reading of the bill.  Now the bill has been read for the first time and pursuant to a 48 is placed in the calendar for notice the next succeeding day. Senator Frigiden. Thank you, Mr. President. First, just a quick word. Those three bills I had emailed with a full chamber indicating that those were bills that had reached agreement and just waited and fell off the limits because of the rule suspension issues on the night we adjourned. And so the three bills have been introduced in their form that they were in that night by the rules committee and spoke with leadership on those both. Both assess the leadership in the Senate. I think we thought it would be more expeditious to take those up today. And so I would move that we suspend the rules for the first pending entry in the calendar taking up S1, 2, and 3. Senator Frigiden has moved that the Senate suspend its rules in order to take up for immediate consideration depending on the notice calendar bills S1, S2, and S3. Are you ready for the question? If so, all those in favor please signify by saying aye. Those opposed signify by saying nay. The ayes have it and you suspended your rules in order to take up S1, S2, and S3. We now have for action S1, it was introduced today. I don't even know what today is. Please listen to the second reading of the bill. I'm now agreeing to co-payment limits for care and physical therapy. Now you've heard the second reading of the resolution to the bill. Senator from Chittenden. Thank you Mr. President. S1 is virtually identical to S224 which went through the conference committee. That was approved on the last day by the Senate chamber. The only change that's been made is just by a very brief apron. This is to bring co-payments for counter-practice care that are under law for the last 10 years of work. It's mandated to be reasonable to make that happen and one change from what we voted on already in the conference committee report is on page three on line 15, the maximum co-payment amount, this is a technical draft year, should be 50% of our total reimbursement amount. It used to say total charge amount. So with that change, I would hope to set up with concurred investment. The question is, shall the bill be read a third time? Are you ready for the question? If so, all the therapy is signified by saying aye. Aye. All the votes signified by saying nay. Yeah, he's happy to have ordered third reading of S1. We now have a vote for action S2 in act relating to regulating, or please listen to the second reading of the bill. S2, that great regulating finance releases credit card terminals. Now the important, Senator from, Reverend Senator Sussi. Thank you, Mr. President. This is S206, which was agreed upon in the conference committee to have been no change at all and it protects consumers from onerous leases on credit card processing terms. Question is, shall the bill be read a third time? I'll wait you to ask the question until it's been handed out to every Senator. The question is, shall the bill be read a third time? Are you ready for the question? If so, all those in favor please signify by saying aye. Aye. All those opposed signify by saying nay. The ayes have it, we've ordered third reading of S2. We now have a vote for action S3. Please listen to the second reading of the bill. S3, an act relating to sexual exploitation of students down through the Gordon Bell Center from Manhattan Center Sears. Mr. President, this is exactly the same version as it was voted on some Saturday night ago. Can't remember which one.  At a Iraqi history and a bill of disimportance and to try to, you know, took this one to get it through. We passed it last year as part of a S87, which was a little portion of 87 get passed by the House of Judiciary Committee on another bill. The bill is the Education Committee in the House where it's out of the wall by mistake. This year we reintroduced it as age 27. And everything was going well. We had a conference committee, everybody agreed on it. And then at the final moments on Saturday, there was not a rule suspension, so it didn't get taken up. But I assure you this is basically what you voted on at least five times here this session, or by any of them I should say. So this actually is an important bill that will help protect our students from sexual exploitation. Thank you, Mr. President. The question is shall the bill be read a third time or are you ready for the question? If so, Paul's in favor, please signify by saying aye. As opposed to signify by saying nay. Guys have it and you have order 3rd, we need to ask 3rd. Senator Fujibun. Thank you, Mr. President. I move that the rules be suspended for the purpose of taking on S1, 2, and 3 to be placed in all remaining stages of the passage. Senator Fujibun has moved that the suspended rules in order to place S1, S2, and S3 through all remaining stages of passage. So I'm ready for the question. If so, I will favor please signify by saying aye. Aye. As opposed to signify by saying nay. The ayes have it and you have suspended the rules in order to place S1, S2, and S3 through all remaining stages of passage. I'm sorry, we now have consideration S1. Are there any amendments before 3rd reading? Seeing none, please list the 3rd reading of the bill. S1, we need to co-pay amendments for chiropractic care and physical therapy. You've heard the 3rd reading of the bill. The question now is, shall the bill pass? I'm ready for the question. If so, all those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. As opposed to signify by saying nay. The ayes have it and you have passed S1. Now for consideration S2, are there any amendments before 3rd reading? Seeing none, please list the 3rd reading of the bill. S2, act with the regulating finances for credit card terminals. If you heard the 3rd reading of the bill, the question is, shall the bill pass? Are you ready for the question? If so, all those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. As opposed to signify by saying nay. The ayes have it and you have passed S2. We now have for action S3. Are there any amendments before 3rd reading? Seeing none, please list the 3rd reading of the bill. S3, act with the correctional exploitation of students. Now you've heard the 3rd reading of the bill, the question is, shall the bill pass? Are you ready for the question? If so, all those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. As opposed to signify by saying nay. The ayes have it and you have passed S3. Senator from Chittenden, thank you. I move the rules will be suspended for a purpose of messaging our actions taken on S1 and 2 and 3 to the House for quick. Senator from Chittenden has moved the Senate and the Senate's rules on order to message your action just taken on bills S1, S2 and S3 to the House for quick. Are you ready for the question? If so, all those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. As opposed to signify by saying nay. The ayes have it and you suspended the rules that are message your actions taken on S1, S2 and S3 to the House for quick. Senator from Chittenden. I think I at this time would move pending announcements that the Senate stand in adjournment until Tuesday at 10 a.m. The Senator from Chittenden has moved a pending announcement that the Senate stand in adjournment until 10 a.m. on Tuesday. Are there any announcements? Senator from Washington. Thank you, Mr. President. Senate Finance will meet at 12.45. We have a presentation from the Joint Fiscal Office. Senator from Caldera. Senator from Appropriations and Senate Education will meet jointly at 1.30 for a presentation from Joint Fiscal Office. And then we will continue to meet after that presentation to hear from the administration. Senator from Chittenden. The Senator from Caledonia, lead me to the punch on the initial meeting, 1.30 for Senate Education and Approves. We will not be meeting at the Senate Education Committee following that. Are there any Senator from Chittenden? Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you to the Senate for making speedy work of the bills we've already passed today. I think it does help focus us on the work ahead. The agreement with the speaker was that the three bills that were what we would call Senate bills, which are the ones we just acted on, we would take up here and then the three bills that were house originating would be taken up in the other chamber. You may notice that in the bills that were introduced in the other chamber today that say special session, which were in front of us, only one of the three that I emailed people about which is the liquor lottery appears. So I'll follow the speaker just on timing, but the board's information bill was the other one and then one was related to auto transport companies. So there were those three bills that we anticipate receiving from the other chamber. The other is Peter Sterling will contact people and find out when people would like to start on Wednesday. So we'll make sure people know when we're gonna do that. Two quick words, Senator Barack's father not passed away, which is why he's not here today, he's out of state. So we're obviously all thinking of him. We've been standing in touch so he knows what's going on. And Senator Benning today is reuniting with his daughter, which is of course very good news, which is why he's not here today. Senator Hall more, I don't have a good answer for that one. I don't have a good answer for that one. Are there any further announcements? Senator from Quigga. We will be meeting as a Democratic office at noon on the leave of room 10. Are there any further announcements? Seeing none, Senator from Chittenden has moved at the Senate's date into German until Tuesday, May 29th at 10 a.m. Are you ready for the question? If so, I'll be favorably signified by saying aye. Aye. Those opposed, signified by saying nay. The ayes have it, and you'll stand in German until Tuesday, May 29th at 10 a.m.


Feel the love. Does that work? Hi. We're back. I mean, I'm back. You all never left. We're back now. Tease, tease a head. It sticks in your head, doesn't it? It does. It's really in my head now. Yeah. We were singing it like the whole train ride home. Well, maybe that will help. That's all I'm going to say. Are you good on all the top stories? Yeah. Did you know, had you read that, had you caught up on that tech wrench to scrub stuff earlier today? No, I was working at work. All the bot related stuff? Sorry. No, I just mean because of the bots. No. All the things about bots. Nope. Sorry. That's why we're here. No, no, I just thought maybe it was, I didn't know if it was the talk of the office. No. I like that. Oh yeah, OK. What else we got? Anything break? We got two minutes. Apple is offering 10 movies for $10 to celebrate 10 years of iTunes movies. Anything good? Nobody wants movies on iTunes. I don't. I bought two movies to watch on the plane to Italy two years ago. I have never watched them. That's funny. I have not done that since. OK, so you go to iTunes.com since, oh, and then it. No, I don't want to have to launch it. No, that's a no. Never mind. If you do rent a movie, where do you rent it? No. You just don't bother. Watch on Netflix. That's not a thing that we do. Got it. OK, shall we? Here we go. Daily Tech News Show is powered by its audience, not outside organizations. To find out more, head to dailytechnewshow.com slash support. This is the Daily Tech News for Monday, September 12, 2016. I'm Tom Merritt, and it is good to be back. Joining me today, Ms. Veronica Belmont. Good to see you again, too. Hello, how was your trip? I couldn't hear what you just said. What's going on? I said, how was your trip? I don't know why I can't hear you, but I can't hear you. Try it again. How was your trip? Ah, there we go. Now I can hear you. My trip was great. It allowed me to screw some things up on my machine here so that I couldn't hear you for the first minute. No, it was really fun. I had a great time. Huge thanks to Roger, yourself, Justin Robert Young, Scott Johnson, Patrick Beja, and all the folks, all the guests who filled in over the past two weeks. People barely noticed that I was gone, which is good. That's the way you want it. Well, you deserve a vacation every once in a while, so we're glad you have it. Every once in a while, but not again for a while. Please, no. Yes, exactly. Well, interesting things going on in the world of technology again. Verizon is buying Sensiti, a company that installs internet of things sensors in LED street lights to monitor things like traffic and security on a city-wide scale. Another one of those elements of Verizon getting into the internet of things enterprise business to diversify themselves. Now here are some more top stories. Samsung will spin off its printer business and then sell it, in other words, they're spinning it off in order to sell it to HP Inc. for $1.05 billion. HP says it intends to, quote, disrupt and reinvent the copier industry. HP says copiers are outdated, complicated machines with dozens of replaceable parts requiring inefficient service and maintenance agreements, and that's why they decided to buy a printer company. They actually, they implied that they will fix that. That's their opportunity. Samsung also announced that Vice Chairman J.Y. Lee will be nominated at the Samsung board. Lee is the son of the currently hospitalized Samsung chairman, Kun-Hee Lee. He has been in the hospital for a while and the succession plan has been for his son to take over. This is one of the steps along the way there. Fascinating. Yeah, I'm very curious to see how they think that's going to fix the problem of the copier industry. Yeah, well, right? If you're curious about it, Samsung will continue to sell its printers under the Samsung name. They'll just source them from HP. So it's going to continue to make printers. HP already makes printers. I am curious what they're going to do for copiers as well. I mean, printer copier fax is a thing, right? So what do we need, as outdated and as correct as HP is, what do we need from copiers? Do we really, is copying a thing that we need as we need less paper? I think in other industries, I think we're kind of special in technology in that we stay on the forefront of this stuff. But I mean, there's still industries that use fax machines. Yeah, good point. And there's still needs for copiers. And so those things are going to be around with us still for a long while, I feel. I wish they would actually try to fix the ink cartridge industry first before they fix the copier industry, a much larger problem in my estimation. Yeah, I am 100% with you there. Facebook med, David Marcus, spoke at TechCrunch Disrupt Today. Among his comments were the announcements that messenger bots will allow native payments using credit card information stored in Facebook. Another new feature, web views, will let bots show web content. Marcus also said bots on messenger got overhyped and the first ones to hit the platform were not as good as the native apps they were meant to replace. There are now more than 30,000 bots on the messenger platform. In a later TechCrunch Disrupt Conversation, Twilio co-founder and CEO Jeff Lawson also described bots as overrated and cited news uses rather as the best implementations so far. Yeah, he cited the New York Times. I like Cora's implementation of that as well where you kind of have a conversation with the bot to read the news story and that is pretty cool. Interesting to see two luminaries in the communications field, in the internet communications field, both trying to play down expectations for bots there. Well, I think there is full disclosure, Phil Liban, who I'm about to mention is an investor in my company as well, but he was recently saying, you know, we kind of hit the, he used a different word for it, but there were, well, there were like fart apps in the beginning and so like the first bots that have come out have been like the fart bots, like basically developers testing to see what's out there, what they can do with these platforms, what works, what keeps users engaged and so we're getting over that hurdle now into the bots that are actually useful for things. Yeah, and neither one of them said bots would continue to be useless forever. They both even said, even though they were kind of trashing, not trashing, but kind of saying customer service bots aren't very useful now, they said they eventually will be. It just takes a while for us to get there. I just find it an odd, not odd so much as an interesting phenomenon to see luminaries starting to try to manage expectations for their own industries instead of what has previously been, the solid marketing plan is always overhype because even if you overhype, at least you've got people talking about you. These guys are like, yeah, sometimes too much hype causes too high of expectations, which leads people to stop using something at the critical time that we need them to be using them so we can figure out what the best uses are. Yeah, you have to mess up a little bit at first to get that out of the way and then improve from there. Tevo announced an update to its Tevo Bolt DVR. The Bolt Plus will sell for 499 bucks, that's about $200 more expensive than the original Bolt. It can record up to six channels at once. The original could only do four, has a three terabyte hard drive, so three times as big as the original and comes in glossy black, black being the opposite color of the original which came in white. While it does 4K just like the original, it does not do HDR, neither of them do yet, but that could come in an update to the software, so it's not like you'd have to buy new hardware to get HDR. Tevo Bolt Plus goes on sale Thursday, September 15th. This is now Roe V, the company, has renamed itself Tevo after acquiring Tevo, so this is kind of the first product to come out under the new combined company. You know, I didn't even know that happened. When did that happen? That happened, the acquisition was a couple months ago and I think it closed last week, so it's been a question of whether Roe V would become a patent holding company, essentially, which is the most valuable thing that either of the merged companies had going into this, whether it would really switch to go take Tevo's guide information and put it squarely in its guide services product or whether they continually make it hardware. Obviously the Bolt Plus was already in the pipeline, so it would have been a big move for them to kill it, but in a sense the success of the Bolt and the Bolt Plus are going to be big factors on what the new Tevo does going forward. Don't you feel like Tevos are just too expensive? Yes. Like I just still just feel like this is a lot of money. Yeah, that's why on Court Killers we often recommend Channel Master even though I don't use a Channel Master because it is more affordable and comes with the guide info built in. The thing that makes Tevo so expensive, if it was only $499 for a three-terabyte six-channel tuner or $299 for a four-channel one-terabyte tuner, that might be okay. I might be able to live with that because then I get my over-the-air box. If the apps were better, it could be perfect, right? Because then I wouldn't have to have a Roku or an Apple TV. I'd have all my apps on there. It does have the apps. They're not great. They're usable. But the fact that I then also have to deal with figuring out, well, can I find a lifetime service box and then I have to pay a lot extra for that or do I want to continue to pay for service? That's where it really gets you. Instagram launched a new comment moderation tool for everyone on Monday. The tool was available to business accounts in July and it adds a hide inappropriate comment switch that went on automatically hides comments with words in a default list. Users can add their own custom keywords to block as well and Instagram will also start showing more personally relevant comments in the preview seen on posts instead of just the two most recent. Yeah. Instagram, not the poster child for dealing with harassment the way Twitter has been or not dealing. Or not. But something that was in the news recently was Justin Bieber saying he was quitting Instagram because he's tired of all the hateful comments and apparently Taylor Swift was testing this out when it was available for businesses. Apparently she is a business. Oh yeah. Definitely is a business actually. Millions upon millions of dollars worth of business. That's for sure. So good that you can have this. I mean how do you feel about this as a tool? You're relying on their blacklist but then you can also add your own words. Yes, I think that's nice to have although I can't really think of a situation where users have been using the same words over and over. I mean unless it's curse words I don't really want to need to block curse words. So I don't know what kind of keyword would kind of follow the same patterns over and over. Maybe Taylor Swift is tired of hearing about Kanye or something in her comments and so she blocked the word Kanye. But yeah, I'm sure people will find ways to make it work for them and frankly it's better having this than nothing. Yeah, I agree with you there. Although these kinds of blocking tools always have unintended consequences and they're never perfect. And the classic example is any chat room you've ever been that makes it impossible to discuss Alfred Hitchcock, right? Like it's like, hey, come on guys, you can't just block any incidents of those four letters together.  And it's because you were using the other sense of the word. It's not the best way to go about it but it certainly is better than nothing. Like I said, better than nothing is still okay. Yeah, Saturday afternoon on my flight back I was entertained, stunned, surprised, a little fearful that the cabin crew announced the usual guidance on electronic devices. Your phone must be in airplane mode, et cetera. Laptops must be put away until you're told it's safe to use them again. Also, they announced that owners of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 should not charge their phone during the flight and must keep the phone off for the duration of the flight. This goes along with FAA regulations that required those two things. Plus, you cannot check a Samsung Note 7 in your checked baggage. So if you have a Note 7 and you're flying with it, the only way you can fly with it is to carry it on and keep it turned off. Samsung itself told all users Saturday to turn off their phones, whether they were in the air or not and keep them off. Samsung asked all 2.5 million Note 7 users to turn in the phones as soon as possible, although it's unclear how they're supposed to do that. That communication has been a little fuzzy. Replacements will be available in South Korea, France and the United States starting September 19th. Other locations are starting to roll out as well. One Reddit user said he was told that defective Note 7s could be remotely deactivated after September 30th, though Samsung has not confirmed that. Replacements will arrive in Australia September 21st, where safe Note 7s will be marked with a blue S sticker and a small black box on the UPAC label and sales will resume in Australia in October. That's absolutely. Yeah, I got the same notification on my flight coming back from Portland as well on Virgin America. So it's airline wide now at this point for sure. I've been hearing lots of reports of this happening. What a cluster. Man, this is like a nightmare scenario for them. I was actually thinking this morning, like, wow. Can you imagine what it must be like to be an employee in the Samsung main office right now dealing with this? It's gotta be an unbelievable nightmare. Yeah, absolutely. It's one of those things where you would, it has to be a very serious problem for Samsung to go to these lengths to recall all the products. They're not saying, oh, if you have this battery, replace it as soon as possible, it's at a small risk. They're saying we really can't identify which batteries are the problem. So we're recalling all of them and we pretty much want you to keep it off because the risk is that great that it could catch up fire. Now that risk is still probably fairly small.  Most people didn't, but it must be great enough that they don't wanna risk it. And certainly the FAA waiting in means that it is a serious risk because one thing you definitely don't want on an airplane is any kind of flame. So yeah, this is not a small thing for Samsung to overcome. And I've gotten a couple of people on Twitter and elsewhere asking like, do you think they can recover from this? How does Samsung recover from the press nightmare that is every Note 7 out there could explode? And you're recalling all of them, even once they have the safe ones out there, you know there's going to be instances where people have the safe one and they're on a plane and they're gonna be told, no, you have to keep that off, sir. And so people are not gonna wanna buy them. People are gonna be fearful of them. Well, at least I've got that billion dollars coming in for their printer. It'll make them feel better. They got some money coming in the bank. Yeah, I mean, do you have any guess as like, if will this fade away? I mean, my instinct is eventually this will fade away and we'll remember it as I'll remember when all the Note 7s were catching, we're supposedly catching on fire. We've been through this before. I mean, there have been other instances of lithium, lithium ion batteries, for example, expanding and catching on fire or getting too hot. Definitely, we've been around this block before and you know, frankly, I'm kind of surprised it doesn't happen a little more often. Samsung's got a good name brand. They've got fans. I think I do think they'll get through this. I think this will be a, it'll be a pretty big blip on the old report card. But at the end of the day, I think it'll be hopefully okay for them. Well, and the question is, do they disband the note brand? I mean, is that damaged? I think Samsung is fine, like you say, they'll get through it. But do they just say, you know what? The Note 8 is now something else. Yeah. It's just a distance itself from that name. From a branding perspective, I think it would probably make a lot of sense to do that. Oh, hold on a second. Real quickly, Waffle-Othagus in the chat room pointed us to an Android Central article where Samsung said that turning off Note 7s remotely is not something the company has stated and that all official guidance will be published on its website. So that's, they've at least commented on it. Although they didn't deny it. They just said that it's not something that's stated. So it's likely not gonna happen. And the other thing is I was just in South Korea at a Samsung Lions baseball game. And I feel like Samsung needs a little cheering up right now. So I recorded this Samsung fight song. There's people in a baseball stadium chanting for Samsung. I don't think people will do that in phone stores though. All right. That was so loud. I couldn't hear anything you were saying, but I'm sure it was very intelligent as it usually is. Also intelligent, Sunday Tesla announced version eight of its autopilot system. The update changes the priority of the radar system in the car, making it a primary control sensor. Previously radar was supplemental requiring the camera system to have a positive object recognition hit before beginning braking. The update will also disable the autopilot feature if a driver repeatedly ignores warnings to keep their hands on the wheel. Tesla CEO Elon Musk believes the update would have saved Josh Brown's life in an accident in May involving the use of autopilot. The over the air update is expected to go live in one to two weeks for all Teslas from 2014 and later. Yeah. I found that, I have to just preface this by saying I found that comment to be pretty crass and unnecessary. And like when I saw tweets about that the other day about Elon Musk saying this would have saved his life, I get it, I do. It just felt like it didn't sit with me right. It doesn't sit with me right either. And I think it's because even though this is unfair your human reaction is, well, then why didn't you have this software update before when it could hit, when it would, you know? It's one thing to say, we've improved this and we hope that this could prevent other fatalities or maybe even like, you know, this could have helped save Josh Brown's life. But saying, oh yeah, this would have saved his life. Like, well, yeah, there's something that sits wrong with you. Even though technically speaking, all they're saying is, hey, this was misused in our belief in the past, but we think we've improved it to the point that even in that case of misuse, it would have prevented a fatality. I think the better thing to say, as you mentioned would have been to say, this can prevent accidents like that in the future, we hope. You know, like just, I mean saying something so objectively speaking is like not necessary and not even necessarily true. So it's, yeah, it's yucky, but I'm glad it's being fixed. And it may be true that the story would be about Josh Brown no matter what happens, but making in that statement suddenly makes the story about that. When I think rightly the story should be that autopilot has been improved to be even better, the radar is now a primary sensor, so it doesn't have to wait for a camera, which is one of the problems that happened before and as Musk said, unless something is soft and fluffy in front of you, it's going to be able to detect it now and it should be able to detect it. So you can still hit kittens and sheep? Yes, that's exactly, that's not a quote from Musk, but that will be our headline now. Tesla promises to hit kittens and sheep. Hopefully not. But they're solid behind the fluffy, it would have to be fluffy all the way through. Like the only the fluffiest. You will definitely hit lumpy space, Princess. Yeah, absolutely. Thanks to all those who participate in our subreddit, you can submit stories and vote on them at dailytechnewshow.reddit.com. And I know this was really loud last time, so let's just hear, instead of our normal headline music, a little Samsung cheer. Samsung. You can find our subreddit at dailytechnewshow.reddit.com And now I want to talk a little bit about XOXO, the conference that was happening in Portland this weekend. At the end of every XOXO, it is apparently something they say that it might not come back next year. And this year, Veronica, they said, in fact, it will not return in 2017. It's the only event I like anymore. That's not true. I still love DragonCon, but XOXO is the only tech event I like. To me, it has the spirit that South by Southwest had like in 2007, right? Oh, a hundred percent, if not better. I mean, it is really, the Andes have done a phenomenal job over the past five years. I've gone for the last three of really curating a very excellent and diverse number of speakers and content to present everything from tabletop games to indie video games to people creating fantastic content or comics or podcasts or unusual websites or memes or just people who have something to say about their process of being creators on the internet. That's who it's primarily geared towards is people creating things for the net. And it's just been, whether they've brought back people from spy magazine, they've done, I've spoken, that's not an endorsement of the conference in any way. But yeah, I've spoken in the past. There's been just unbelievable people that I've gotten to meet and talk to throughout the years.  And Casey Newton at the Verge wrote a very fond farewell. It's not that XOXO will never come back. They're saying not for 2017. We don't know after that whether Andy Bao and Andy McMillan would bring it back. But Casey's point was this was the independent web. This is the web that isn't dominated by Google Facebook. I get so many people writing in about Daily Tech News Show saying, why do you only talk about Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon? It's because those are the dominant companies and they dominate the news cycles. But XOXO was a great example of how you could go and find really interesting things that were from independent, from freelancers, from people just doing it for the love of it. Yeah, and even the brands that come to sponsor stuff at the conference, like Slack, for example, paid for all the coffee at the event. You didn't see any Slack logos or representative speaking about Slack at the event. It just was like thanks to Slack for the coffee like in a tiny little bit of lettering underneath the coffee sign. So it felt very indie and it felt very under the radar. And I think that's what a lot of people loved about it. I wonder how often we can have these sorts of things and why they never seem to be able to stick around. I mean, there's that balance between we wanna keep it small because if it's too big, then it has to be dominated by larger interests to keep it going or it becomes too many people to handle and you can't really get that community feeling from it. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, what do you think of that? I think they intentionally kept it small. I mean, it was about 1,200 people, I believe at any given time and they kept it small so you could still have that feeling as though you were meeting pretty much all the people that were there and getting a chance to talk to a lot of different people. You never felt overwhelmed by the crowds or everything going on at one time. And I think that kind of that feeling, you don't get that going to CES, you don't get that going to South by anymore. If they're just too big, they're too unmanageable. And this is, you know, this brought in a lot of different kinds of voices because they, you have to apply to go to the event. And they also did sponsorships this year to get people who couldn't necessarily afford to pay the entrance fee. I think it's like $500 for the conference pass, for example, to get a lot more people in who can't afford necessarily to go to tech conferences. And in fact, money was a big subject matter this year. Basically like people speaking very frankly about what they make as independent creators and how it shouldn't be a thing that you're ashamed to talk about. Because if you don't know what your value is, then you're not asking for your value, especially when you're a freelancer and you're going out there trying to make work. One of the content creators, for example, was a cartoonist. I'm looking up her name right now. She was amazing. And she spoke very, very frankly about like, she makes $23,000 a year sometimes. She's on food stamps. So even though this was like her most successful year in terms of work, she kickstarted a big campaign for Lucy Bellwood. She kickstarted a huge campaign for her adventure comic. She was successful. She has a publisher. She went on a book tour. All of the stuff that outwardly looked very successful and yet she still can't afford to feed herself. And just being able to have open, frank conversations about this kind of thing really makes you feel like you're part of a community and that you're not alone in this crazy world sometimes. Yeah, and I think it gives the ultimate lie to the idea that the internet will keep us from wanting to meet in person, right? Because these are all people who exist on the internet and they can contact each other on the internet in ways that we never could before. But because they can contact each other in the internet, they then decide to meet in person at something like this. I understand why they are going to take a break. It is a lot of work. And that's why Nurtacular took a break this year. Scott Johnson didn't want to run into the problem that the Andes did, where this has dominated become a year round project. Oh, so lots, yeah. And it's one of the reasons Nurtacular has remained even smaller than XOXO, quite a bit smaller, because once you start letting it get even to 1,200, it became a year round thing for them. You know, what I really appreciate too for a tech conference is that they are, in terms of tech conferences, very diverse. It's about 50, 50 men and women and 20% people who are considered themselves to be in the minorities. So that's pretty good overall. I think you're not gonna see those kinds of statistics for many tech conferences around the country. Yeah, the only thing that ever bothers me about XOXO is that I never went. It's partly my own fault. But I'll be honest, I was put off by having to apply mostly because I'm just lazy. I'm like, oh, I don't wanna have to audition to go. But you obviously got through that.  But I went the year before and I wasn't speaking then. And then this year, yeah, because I was a previous speaker and it was last year, they let us go again. So it was, I'm sad to see it go, but I hope more things in the spirit of XOXO can kind of pop up and not necessarily take its place because hopefully it will be back but have more conferences that are inclusive and can have these kinds of open, frank conversations and just kind of get some names out of people out there that are making really independent, awesome content. Yeah, no, there's absolutely a lot to learn from this. And I hope it's not the peak of the bar camp, pod camp, unconference movement that began last decade, but rather sort of the point forward to maybe many types of XOXOs could spring from the fact that now people who want to go next year will start to think, well, wait, what can we do to make something like this happen on our own? Right. Well, let's get to our message of the day from CP, who says, how well is comm score regarded? They're regarded very well. They have good methodology. As far as these kinds of survey organizations go, comm score is very reliable. CP says, the reason I ask is that, although they headlined the story in July, Pokemon Go captures 55 million mobile users, ranking 13th among all apps and smartphone apps are now 50% of all US digital media time spent. What struck me was the makeup of the top 15 mobile by visitors according to comm score. There were only two music streaming apps. Now, this is cross platform, right? The comm score does surveys to find out what apps do you use, how often do you use them? And then they extrapolate from there. CP points out Apple music and then the one that nobody talks about since it is not cool and moribund, Pandora, we're in the top 15. In fact, Pandora has about 10% more visitors than Apple music. Furthermore, half the apps above Pandora are the click and leave types. So Pandora is probably a top three app for user engagement time. Yet when it comes to streaming music, I only hear about Spotify and Songza. Where is the love for Pandora?  Although this presumes comm score is legit. I know people out there are using Pandora. Like I know that to be true. And yet I still only associate it with like the app that stores and public spaces download so they can have free streaming music and not have to worry about paying rights or paying anything. And once a while an ad pops up and that's okay. That's how I think of Pandora still. Oh, that's funny. Yeah, because that probably explains a ton of them. By the way, they still have to pay the mechanical royalty to ask at BMI. Even if they play it in the store. I guess. Do they, wait, does Pandora have to pay that or do the stores have to pay that? The stores have to pay it because ask at BMI people go around the stores and log in. I know. I learned that in college and I forgot about that. You're right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So they're not getting away with too much but it's certainly easier than paying for a Spotify or something like that. Apparently. And having to curate. And I think that may be the difference in the perception and why we talk about Pandora less is Spotify. I don't hear people talk about Songza all that much but Spotify and Apple Music and Songza, these are apps where you create a list. And yeah, there's Discover Weekly and Apple Music has its own curated playlist as well. But Pandora is not a place where you can even create your own playlist, right? It is radio versus your own personal playlists. So your own personal playlist is where everyone is selling music. That's where you're exposing music whereas Pandora is you have less control. That's a set and forget it.  It can't be that much. That's how I feel it is. Yeah, I see you put that Songza was swallowed up by Google Music anyway. So it's not even its own independent play. Gotcha. But yeah, those are interesting facts. Thanks for sending those along. And thank you Veronica. Oh, go ahead. I was just gonna say, yeah, I think ComScore is pretty, people generally trust ComScore. So I think they're in good shape. Yeah, the methodology certainly is it faultless. Nobody's is, but yeah, they're fairly legit. I usually take an 85% confidence in what they put out there. Yeah, that's good. All right, thank you Veronica Belmont for joining us. We will have a brand new sword and laser later this week. I know that's been out for a few weeks because I was gone, but we'll be back. Anything else to tell folks about? Well, no, I have to say it's been under a regular schedule because we recorded many episodes, but then I released them a little bit later. So we're still in the regular two week schedule. So it's all good. It's good.  Let me know, growbot.io, install it. Let me know what you think. Sender a note. How do people get in touch with you if they wanna do that? The usual ways, at Veronica, at TryGrobotFuge. Excellent.

I don't remember. Roger, you already forgot, really? Yeah, I perched it.  It's like, ah, I'm never going to use any of this stuff. Well, you better remember next time I go out. I'm not going to scare you by saying that to any time soon. Because what should we call this show? Well, at the top of the heap, in my heap I mean titles, stop passing notes. Get it? Notes on the plane. XOXO Exodus. Facebook Messenger. Facebook Messenger is a bot mess. It's funny, I like that one. Fluffy logic. Tesla promises to hit kittens in sheep. XOXO over and out. XOXO dis. Get it? Yeah, I get it. And then we have printing pressure, chatbots, question mark. Forget about it. A button issue, Samsung is on the note fly list. Not note fly list. That's good. My XOXOs, they haunt me. Not sure where that went. That's a, I can't sing it because I can't sing loudly in here. I like Samsung is on the note fly list. OK. What do you guys like, do you like any of them?  The note fly list is pretty funny. All right, done. Sorry, Shane. DR gets it. And I don't mean the Dominican Republic. Don't. Our kids.  All right, V, thanks again. All right, I'll see you later. Have a good rest of your day. Thanks, you too. Bye. It's ironic because she's the youngest of all the three of us. Yes. What is ironic again? Because she said see you later, kids. Right, right, because she is the youngest. Got it. Yeah. Wait, unless you know something about her. She's not a kid, though. That's what I was about. That's what I stopped myself. None of us are kids anymore. Yeah, Jen says I act like a kid every once in a while. That's good. You're young at heart. Roger, you just can't go around graffitiing things you don't like. Like, why not? You're not a kid anymore. Do you do that a lot? No. Like, graffiti days are long since Pascone. Now I have the Samsung cheer in my head. It's taboo to ask a woman's age, which is why I don't ask, Ken. It's also taboo to tell a woman's age. Well, I won't tell her. It's there, I promise. I'm not sure you're getting the spirit of this. OK, then I take that. I put it there. All right, that doesn't. Kind of a gendered bias kind of social habit, social etiquette. Yes, it is. But it's one that people still adhere to. Why? I don't know. So that's, I mean, in the age where the sacred is stripped down and deconstructed. Wow. We're bringing up the sacred. I realized I was going into philosophy class today. The sacred and the profane. Remember, that was like the first thing you learned in philosophy. Yeah. Listen, just tell me what I need to know for the test. Well, it's good to have you back, Tom. Thank you, sir. So many things I'm not pressing and doing right now. You're not worrying about. I think the biggest worry was putting the thing in the wrong place because they did that. Everyone knows in the chat room. Last week, I always want to say EGR. I always call it the automatic geek radio. Yeah, alpha geek radio. I pasted the HTML into the WYSIWYG side. The left pane is to have the actual text tab. And so when I put it in there, it didn't do anything. Because that's where EGR scrapes the audio. When I do it, when I hit DTNS2, it scrapes the YouTube audio. But because I put it in the wrong side, it just showed up. It was like gobbledygook, and it didn't know where to scrape. Isn't that how EGR works? Wait, what were you pasting in EGR? No, the template. What template? The HTML template we put in for the show post. So there's two tabs, right? There's a tab that you're actually supposed to use, and then there's the visual tab. Right, but that shouldn't affect EGR. That's not where it gets it. Oh, because it did. As soon as I fixed it, it pulled the audio for the right place. But we don't even publish that. Well, all I know is that's what happened, and it seemed to work. Because everyone was telling me, it's like, oh, Roger, it's Friday show. It's Friday show. It's like, no, it should be Tuesday show. And then I realized that I pasted all the HTML into the WordPress posts. In the WordPress, but not in the Word. But we don't publish the WordPress posts. I know. And that's what had my heads back. And EGR doesn't look at the WordPress posts. It just worked. OK, I believe you. I don't know why. It just worked that way. I don't know what I did. It did something. I don't know. See, this is the thing. I only know the motions. I don't know the reasons why I do the motions. Yeah, because in that philosophy course, you were just saying, just tell me what's going to be on the test. I don't want to know the thing. Listen, I've survived this far. Yeah, I don't want to belabor this point. But I'm really curious why that would have happened. Because those two things are not connected in any way. Yeah. The EGR thing that scrapes server-side audio from YouTube just looks at YouTube. Yeah, and it was running fine. I mean, everyone could see the show. But EGR was the previous episode's show. I just did that in a work. What do you want me to say? I don't know. I don't know either. That's weird. It seemed to work. I knocked three times. The man with the electric truck shows up at my door. It works every time. It's like whistling keeps the tigers at bay. And you know what? It's working for the fast forward. There's no tigers around here. See, it works. Yeah, exactly. There you go. But, Dad, that's vicious logic. Samsung. I wonder if they give out Samsung prizes. The useful prize is like, oh, here's a Samsung Rex cooker. I did not know. Well, we were in the Doosan Bears Park, not in the Samsung Lions Park. What do they make? Doosan. Aren't they another conglomerate? Yeah, they are. I don't remember what they make, though. They make their version of the Toto toilet. Doosan. Oh, I missed those. Those things are awesome, aren't they? Yeah. It really makes you wonder. Just a seat warmer alone. What it tells you is there's been at least two or three generations of toilet technology that we're totally missing out on. I mean, you can buy it in the US, but you have to buy it. I've seen it in the US, like, occasionally. But like the heated thing, you need to put in a special heated line for the, what did he say, do-do jokes? There's no do-do jokes in here. Doosan, of course, didn't make a toilet seat. What do they make? They make everything. All of them make everything. Yeah, that's how they got to where they were. That's how they can influence politics with so much money. Heavy industry, engineering and construction, yeah. They're mostly like building and construction and industrial use. That's why we don't know them. Houses, highways and bridges, chemical processing equipment, industrial engines, not your everyday home stuff. Well, and Samsung is in a lot of businesses that people don't realize, not even just the white goods like rice cookers and stuff, but banking and financial stuff, sensors. Samsung had a, I think they still do have a pretty big insurance arm. Yep, yep. I believe you're right about that.  But that was tied directly to people buying cars, whereas I think the Samsung financial arm is unrelated to their other businesses. Yeah, it's just like business insurance and insurance money. It's weird because insurance companies are so quick to take your money, but so, so tight to pay it back out. That's the whole idea. I remember my dad's restaurant burnt and I was like, you're trying to get money out of the insurance companies. And they kept saying like, well, your restaurant wasn't safe or didn't have the... Oh, it wasn't up to code or something? Yeah, so they say, what the hell? You guys were here last month to redo, like to re-up my policy and you just walked through the place. How can it not be up to code since you just signed off on it? Yeah. No, we eventually got the money, but it was like seven years later. Bullen teeth, yeah. I have to say, the most recent time I had to deal with an insurance company was when I scraped my car in a garage and it was my own fault.  And they were really easy. They came out and they looked at it and they're like, okay, yeah, they're like you... And they said, listen, you can go to... Here's a list of places where you can go, where you just go get it fixed and then we'll pay for it and it'll raise your rates, but it didn't raise them that much. And it was totally fine. Have I deductible? I pay everything out of my pocket. Yeah. Which is why if some happens in my car, I'd rather get totaled. So at least I get the total money out of it, which isn't much. Actually, my car's in perfect working condition. I mean, there's some dings on it from the automatic car wash on the roof, but everything else is fine. My car's like worth 3,600 bucks. It only has 75,000 miles. But it's a Toyota, those things run forever. Yeah. Like four scump. I saw lots of Toyota dealerships on my trip. Oh yeah, I remember seeing it. But they sell those really... There's a class of car in Japan that's even smaller than the subcompact. They call it like a key. They're like a lot narrower. And they're only certain parking spots in the city that you can actually part with only those specific cars. But they're really popular. But because of the way regulations work, people just end up buying new cars every six or seven years because some say it's just a fake government regulation of people buying more cars. But that means they have all these cars with like less than 60 or 70,000 miles that they just sell overseas. They're perfect working condition. But because they're too old, they won't need emissions and people have to buy new cars. Yeah. All right, everybody, thanks for watching, listening. Good to be back. Glad you're around. And we will talk to you tomorrow.
