So make sure you subscribe to stay up to date with the latest content that we put out so you don't stay stuck with your business. So today I wanna talk about how to create a premium membership training service within your coaching program. Okay, so if you're in soccer, this video is gonna help you to understand why you need to have a premium membership service and why it will help you to get great results with clients and how it separates you from other trainers, okay? So a lot of coaches ask us on a regular basis, how do I create a premium membership service, right? Or why should I have a premium service within my business for clients, okay? So on my screen, I've got three points of why you should create a premium type of service within your business, okay? So when I talk about premium service, I mean something where a service, a commitment where clients are paying you anywhere between $2,000 to $10,000 upfront for six, nine, or 12 months, okay? Now for a lot of coaches watching this, you might think this is crazy. How can you charge this amount? No way parents will pay it. But the truth is that we have coaches in our accelerator program who are charging parents this amount, okay? And it's not about charging parents, okay? Because at the end of the day, no parent wants to pay that for their child, okay? No parent wants to pay 2K or 10K for a service. But what it's about, it's about creating a premium type of experience where it's very valuable. Parents, players are getting great results, not just with you, but away from the pitch, away from the field, okay? So not only are they becoming a great athlete, but they're also getting a transformation as well, away from the field. So this might be they're becoming more confident, they're developing a positive attitude, they're working harder in training sessions, right? They become more committed to their sport, okay? So it's not just about the training and having a good quality training, but it's also what does that parent see or what does that parent get when their child commits to six, nine, 12 months of training with you, okay? So why should I have a premium type of training service within my business, okay? So the first one is it's exclusive. When we talk about a parent investing $2,000, up, well, between, anywhere between $2,000 to $10,000 upfront for their child, that means that that is an exclusive type of service, right? You're not gonna get many parents who are willing to pay that, okay? But when they do, it's exclusive, right? Which means that you're only gonna be working with maybe a handful of those type of clients. And what this does is if a parent is committing that amount of money to your training, it means that they're gonna become a lot more committed to your business, to your training and ultimately to your service. And what that does is it weeds out other clients or parents or players who aren't as committed to you, okay?  They will do everything that you ask them to do. They will put in the work, they will be a great client and ultimately they will work really hard in your training sessions, okay? So the first one, it's an exclusive type of service, which means you're only gonna be working with a select few clients in this type of membership model, okay? Now the second point is top customers will want the best thing for their child. So you're gonna have, when you start your business and when you start to scale and grow and you start to work, you start to talk to, you know, you start to get experiences with different types of parents and players, kids. You're gonna see that there's gonna be some parents who don't mind what you offer, right? They're gonna pay for it regardless.  But they don't get so involved in what their child is doing.  They want the best training, they want the best results, they want the best service, they want the best coaches, they want the best company, right? They are the select few that want the best for their child. Okay. And if ultimately their child is a serious player, he wants to get to the next level, he even wants to go pro, we wants to play at college, he wants great results, then parents are going to pay you for that type of experience. They're gonna pay you for that type of service. So when you create a premium type of membership within your business, what happens is you're gonna attract the top customers to that type of membership, okay? Because not all parents are going into want to invest that massive amount of money for training. But the ones that do want the best, they want the best results, they want their child to do the best, they want to get into the best college, they want their child to play pro, they want their child to be the standout performer on the team, right? They just want the best, they will pay you if you provide value, if you've got experience already getting players or clients to that next level, and if they see that what you're offering provides a lot more value and is a lot more different to what someone else is offering in your local area, okay? So it's important that when you do create a premium type of service within your business, that it's different to your competition. That's why it's premium, that's why it's the number one type of service that you offer, and it's completely different to what any other trainer is offering in your local area because you create a transformation for their child. Now, the third point is it separates you from all other trainers who don't have it, okay? So that's a little bit touching on the second point where I talked about it, you attract the top clients, but ultimately what happens is if parents who are those, just think to yourself, if you live in a big city, you're gonna have a lot of parents from different backgrounds. You're gonna have some parents who might be well off, you're gonna have some parents who might not be financially able to pay for a premium service, but they're very committed, and ultimately you're gonna have different trainers offering different types of services, okay? But when you have a premium type of service and that service is number one, compared to what anyone else is doing, it's number one in your business, then parents in your local area, right? The ones that are competitive, the ones that want great results, the ones that want their child to get to that top level, they will come to you because of what you offer, the results you get with players, because maybe of your past experiences, because maybe of a referral or what other parents have been talking to you, to them about you, okay? So it ultimately separates you from other trainers. Now, in a previous video I made, I talked about how parents love to talk, right? Parents love to talk about their child, parents love to talk about what their child is doing, and how this helps you is that if you've got one premium client in your service, in your program, who is paying, you know, a top like, they're paying a lot of money for your training, ultimately the people that they're probably surrounded with are parents who are like-minded, okay? Because a parent who is willing to invest $10,000 into their child is not going to be hanging around with a parent who is not willing to invest that money, okay? I can guarantee you because humans generally attract similar type of humans. So a human that is, you know, competitive, wants the best, is willing to be the best, will attract those type of like-minded people into their ecosystem. So if you've got one parent that you're working with that's paying a premium for your service, they're getting great results, what they're gonna do is they'll probably talk to other parents who are maybe in a similar financial situation, who want the same results and who are willing to invest money into your training because they've seen that right, you've got great results with, you know, little Johnny on their team, okay? So what happens is it separates you from other competitors because, you know, you're now attracting a different type of clientele and your premium type of membership type of service might be something that isn't offered by other trainers. Other trainers might be offering just training and that's it, they don't do anything else. But your program, it's a month to month program, you get quality training once a week, then you get a lot of accountability off the field, right, there's checking calls, there's workshops, there's Zoom calls, there's parent meetings, there's accountability homework, right? You're offering so much that parents are thinking to themselves, right, this just makes sense, right? We've got invest because if we invest and our child commits, they get, they do the work, they work hard, they're ultimately gonna get great results, okay? So if you are a coach and you want to implement this type of service into your business, then there's two ways you can get in contact with me. First one is if you visit the description in this video, there's a calendar link, you can click on it and schedule a free 15 to 20 minute call. I speak to coaches every single day and I help them to create this premium type of memberships within their business, okay? So I'm an expert at it, I've done it already, numerous times with coaches and business owners, okay? So schedule that free 15 to 20 minute call. The worst thing that can happen is you get off the call and you get new ideas that maybe you didn't think of and you can implement them into your business straight away. Now, if you don't wanna do that and you just wanna send me an email, you can do that as well, send it to makemoneycoachingsportsatgmail.com, okay? Thank you for watching and I'll see you in the next video.


Is that Patrick Mahon or Kyler Murray? Who do you want to call Kyler Murray?cherlly- Absolutely not. Patrick Mahon my brother freaked me out. Patrick Mahon what? Kyler Murray! I gotta go with Kyler Is that not settled? Is that not settled? Patrick Mahon!


How to straddle the thin line of not falling into the sexual piece You know, I think sometimes Keeping yourself in environments where it doesn't lend you to becoming physical with a guy So a maybe not too much alcohol when going out on a date Definitely don't go back to his hotel room or go back to his home if you've gone to a date or when I say go back To his hotel room or going to a hotel room finding yourself in more daytime casual Experiences create has a less likelihood of finding yourself in sexual Situations when you meet in the daytime sometimes I used to have breakfast dates I thought I love breakfast dates meeting someone at the beach and having breakfast dates So those are just a couple examples of what you could do


says a little little hip issue we think he's gonna be okay we're gonna check out and everything tomorrow and make sure but so I think he's okay a little something to do with his hip though what are the next two and a half days gonna be like for you as you prepare for this wild card game um yeah I mean just now really diving in pouring into Oakland and you know thinking through what they might do tomorrow will be mostly an off day for everyone guys will come in that need treatment and stuff and and you know staff and stuff will will be diving into their individual stuff and then Tuesday it's you know we'll really get after as far as you know our advanced scouting meeting and in the workout and just trying to get our guys prepared and and then the real fun starts on Wednesday how much are you looking forward to getting things going really excited excited to go you know to go chase it down you know it's it's an opportunity and none of us should take it lightly the opportunity to get into the postseason and the chance you have in front of you and then hopefully we can put our best foot forward start Wednesday night thinking pitch and you know again going back to that first doubting that was rough he is he's not look back from that he is he has pounded the strike zone you can tell he creates a bit of a problem for lefties I don't think they pick up the ball real well against him but he's also shown the ability to get get right he's out you know I think he's a guy that can give you a little bit of length to if you needed to so he's a guy that's obviously popped on our radar you know this summer we really started to take notice within the organization and he's earned his way up here and excited for him and what he can be for us not only short term but but long term you mentioned in Tampa that he was in the conversation potentially for the postseason is that still I'd say he's in the conversation yeah we haven't we haven't settled on that or or anything that's still an ongoing conversation that we have not made that decision yet oh yeah question I asked you in a pregame about advancing looking at the quotes I think you thought I was talking about scouting I was talking about planning for ahead of the wild card game so what's your question looking forward to the Red Sox impact what you're deciding upon it was the wild card game very little I mean you know there's no tomorrow Wednesday so you know you you pour everything you can in the Wednesday and trying to win that game you know I guess there's always a big picture involved and you know we're in this thing to win the whole thing but first things first is pouring everything we we have and to win in Wednesday and and then making that decision based on what gives us that best chance yeah all 25 guys on the roster hands on it will be a starter yes 18 questions left to figure it out


Down on the field with Mustang's quarterback Dan Williams after the Stevenson 38-9 win in the home opener Dan How does it feel for you guys you win another home opener? You get back to one-on-one and most importantly start out one-on-one conference play It's important for us to start off one-on-one conference play the Mac is a very difficult league to get through so getting the first on our belts It's very helpful What was the difference for you guys offensively to keep things rolling this week?  What was it for you guys this week? How were you able to keep it going throughout the game? I think our focus this week was minimizing the mistakes turnovers and the penalties we got we got rid of those We still have a few but we were much cleaner much cleaner up front and much cleaner on outsides today, so so from my Just how it plays out on the field when you guys kick off, you know You're expecting to do the ball in a few minutes. What is it like scrambling when you get the ball? I mean are people looking for their helmets? I mean what is it actually like the process of getting on the field when you get a fumble on the first play of the game on the Unspecial teams for the most part you hear you hear turn over and hear a sudden change and everybody scrambling to get their stuff and get Basically lined up and get settled in so what the call is going to be but once we get to the field We're good to go, but I mean it's something you're not really expecting You can't really be prepared for we're waiting for the defense to get a three now to get a turn over something But special teams definitely help us out big there to first play What is it like you got your three guys back Preston? Salisbury and Ellison and you know you just you know Salisbury is a short guy Ellison's medium guy Preston's a deep guy I mean, you know what is it like for you as a quarterback when you have those three guys and You know you know the play calls coming in to something you like I think one thing for me is just I trust those guys with a lot and they can do it all They can all do deep short middle they can all they can all do anything on any given play So I'm very very trustworthy in those guys and we've other receivers to that can get it done Kilo and Stango we have other guys too that can get it done But those three guys are very helpful in our offense and just a trust factor that we know they're gonna get the job done Can you feel especially with Preston and you know that when you're watching him run a route that he's just faster than the guy That's that's covering him. It's very hard to Overthrow Preston. I'll say that it's very hard to do that He's one of the fastest kids I've ever played with and he's a joy to watch on Saturdays And you've played with some guys that are in division one program So that's a lot to say without a doubt without a doubt I've had some guys in high school who were up to level he is but no one no one has been fast and impressive. Wow That's pretty impressive. Well, what do you guys have to do to get ready for after you floor him next week? I think we have to keep the same consistency We have to build on them on the success we had today and limit the mistakes a couple runs. We want back couple reads I want back So definitely things we can work on and watch the film and get better But I think we just need to be consistent in our in our preparation. All right. Thanks Dan. Congratulations. Thank you very much That was Mustangs quarterback Dan Williams for touchdowns in this 38 to 9 win over Kings


This study analyses changes in spatial characteristics of contiguous heat waves in Australia during 1958 to 2020 using observational data and a large multi-member ensemble of a physical climate model. The results show that extremely large contiguous heat waves are covering significantly larger areas and getting significantly longer during the recent period compared to the historical period. Additionally, the study found that aerial magnitude, total area, median duration, and maximum area of large and extremely large contiguous heat waves in Australia are significantly higher, lower, during strong El Nino seasons relative to neutral seasons. The large-scale physical mechanisms driving these heat waves include antipsychonic highs over the southeast and psychonic lows over the northwest of Australia. This article was offered by P. Jyotish Kumar Reddy, Sarah E. Perkins Kirkpatrick and Jason J. Shapples.


We would not have thought of creating what we created, nor the purposes for which we think now it's going to be able to be used. Originally the design was we knew we needed to measure historical thinking in teachers and in kids, because it was part of the grant that we wrote. And so we knew we either had to find a tool or develop a tool to do that to evaluate the entire project. And as it turns out it's written in such a way that we believe that it'll have much more valuable, probably in my opinion, formative uses with teachers. Because even as we showed it to them and got feedback and explained that this is really to evaluate the effectiveness of our grant project, what we found is organically teachers starting to work together to talk about, well if I really am going to create a lesson plan or a unit, and this is the rubric for it. This is a three. This is a two. This is a one. What does that really look like? And so they're starting to dig in deeper together, which was part of what we hoped to do, is that they would be a community of professionals that would work together. And the rubric's been a bit of a prompt to help them do that, even though it was designed for a different purpose. So now we see it as having these two purposes, a summative purpose and a formative purpose, that we hope, we think has the potential to guide instruction. There's an assumption that if I just pour enough information in at the top, it will funnel its way down into the classroom and this will work. Then we're just not convinced that that is going to work, and nor were we absolutely convinced that after year one it was working. And so what we really realize is that this rubric forces us to really recalibrate, redesign the whole thing. You just simply can't, if you have to address these things, you can't think that way anymore. And so it re-orients and it reframes the way we do our seminars ourselves, the way we do the kind of year end. It forces us to redo it because we have to answer it. And as professors we can get fall into that trap as much as anybody else. And it gives us a common way to move away from just that tendency, and I think in many ways, in some ways the ease of just dealing on the content side. It's not to minimize content at all. But it's instead to say that content has far greater meaning when it's matched up with a set of skills that you're developing. That content sticks so much better if it's actually attached to a real problem that you're trying to solve.


What was your last said news? My name is Rob and today just like the thumbnail and title suggests there's a pretty good reason for why this rally has Sustainability and really this was a question that was asked this morning for the NFA live show That's me right there. It's been from another cryptiverse and a guy from coin bureau We talked about how the rally kind of snuck up on us and has been doing pretty good And it's been pretty sustainable thus far I mean, I mean the market caps over a trillion bitcoins up 2% 24 hours 12% for the day or for a week Ethereum 3% and so on far down down the road and Really, there's a lot of different factors that played into it, but I think one of the biggest ones is Addresses by time held and what I'm talking about. This is a metric over into the block links in the description You can check us out for yourself and we can just see that there's three different Criteria here one is called hodlers or people who have Bitcoin in a specific wall for a year plus That could be a year plus a month or two years or three years But or anything over a year Cruises one 12 month and traders of course just less than a month because they're just in and out, right? Depending on the trader, of course So if I take a look at this and of course this black line is the Bitcoin price We can see that right now. We're at a pretty high level for one year plus holders That's 34.75 million addresses cruisers or 10 million addresses or one in 12 months and Traders are 2.65 and if we take a look at this and do what I say is when in doubt zoom out And we're gonna really get a good picture of this We're gonna see that the blue line which is holders back in 2016 It's only three million as as opposed to cruisers are one of 12 months They had over four million so there was more people who had Bitcoin for one of 12 months or less Then we had for the holders of one year plus now fast forward to 2020 You had almost 20 million addresses for one year plus one of 12 months at 7.5 and traders 2.65 and today you can see there's a very sharp uptick of The people who are holding on to Bitcoin 34 like I said 34 million addresses and what it comes down to is if we take a look at Holders composition by time held What we just looked at is the highest I've ever seen it 73% of people are holding on for a year or more and then 22% 112 and less than a month is six six percent So what does that mean? That means like people like you who are watching this video who are here in this brutal bear market who have gone through essential as exchange failures the voyage of the Celsius the BlockFi The FTX who've done with countless rug pulls and the different projects that just collapsed just still here I think the people right now are just like I don't really care I don't care what's going on I don't care the different problems with the different greed and different problems that we have in the crypto space I think I know where things are going I'm going to hold on this for a while and that is part of the reason why we're having such a nice little rally Anyhow, let me make you think about that in the comment section But I will say on the flip side of that same coin This is one of the reasons why we're having problems and I call it a big-time problem this was an article that was first featured on fortune and That's the game big-time and I've heard about this about how great it's gonna be and it looks awesome It looks like a pretty good graphically intense NFT based game and There's gonna be a problem So just to give you a little history big-time the game itself. It raised 10.3 million dollars from crypto investors Enjoyed a successful test launch and pulled in millions of profits. Sounds great Unfortunately There's this thing called contagion There was filings from a bankrupt Genesis reveal Genesis in Thomas quite some time That is one of the four subsidiaries of digital currency group other ones being coin desk, which is up for sale right now Also, you've got grayscale Bitcoin trust and one of the largest or the largest Bitcoin mining operations on the planet foundry But Genesis the chapter 11 Documentation revealed that big-time The game plowed a large chunk of its capital not into growth Which what they should have done but into the high-risk crypto lender in hopes of making rewards of 5% Can you imagine you're trying to get you're taking 20 million dollars like that sounds pretty good but I can get 5% annually and That shouldn't be too much for risk and now it's just locked So that's what's happening Anyhow 20 million dollars now frozen making one of Genesis top creditors That's not something you want to be a top of or the top place This is a reckless gamble that could impale the future of the company and maybe this will delay or Ultimately stop the development of big-time. I'm not for sure. I haven't talked to those guys But it's not good when you have all your operating funds stuck in a chapter 11 company and to give you some background Erie my litch nailed it began developing Decentraland I think we all know the Decentraland play with Esteban or Daniel in 2015 and then this is some information. I'll link the description. You can read it I almost fell asleep, but this part's the good stuff. So big-times founder Was not alone among his essential and peers and trusting Genesis with their money. So again 20 million dollars Co-founder or Daniel had 25 million on Genesis through a Panamanian company called wine and securities Hopefully they get that back and current essential and CFO esponda had over 55 million on Genesis through a different company called Heliva International Corporation and that all that money's gonna be tied up. So hopefully those two companies which I don't know what they do Can stay afloat and this is where it's interesting Decentraland foundation the nonprofit oversees the metaverse platform revealed last week that it all Also had a credit against Genesis of almost eight million dollars So I don't they're gonna see that DCG group also happened to be an investor as well as one of the biggest owners of Virtual land so they're gonna have the virtual land, but everything else is might just be wiped away With the circular flow funding the choice name for Decentraland's central square What is going to be Genesis Plaza? I think they'll change that name after this So again, we've been talking about contagion for quite some time. Will this be a big issue and collapse the market? No, probably won't probably just be another blip on the radar But the question that I have is how much contagion is going to happen How far do we go down and this is just one more company? And if there's big companies like we talked about NFA, I think we're gonna see more problems But who knows what it could be and let me know what you think about that in the comment section But there is some we'll finish up on some pretty good news, which I find fascinating, which is this Polygon just overtook Ethereum and daily active users and you can see right here that's a daily active users So look at that near protocol 83,000 Solana on 36,000 good for them Ethereum 3 and 20,000 polygon 3 and 40,000 and BNB chain 800,000 and I find it interesting That if we take a look at the chains that actually are doing something have utility people are using Okay, so this is if you take a look at the one month or the three month in the six month. I just pull this together Bitcoin is up 36% for the month Over three months. It's up 10% six months down 4% and over a year It's not even more than that because you know brutal bear market, right, but not too bad ETH is up 32% down negative 2 and negative 7. All right, but look at BNB, which we just saw was the highest Plus 25% for the one month. It's down 1% percent per third, but it's still up 9% over six months Which is pretty good quite honestly XRP people using that plus 11% for six months doge plus 22% But look at Polygon again plus 24% Plus 5% and plus 5 one of the few I Think if not the only which is just up over six months. So again pay attention To the crypto projects that are building in the bear Because they will crush it in the bull and that's it for today So look like today's video give it a thumbs up consider subscribing. Why don't you talk about our time sensitive? I'm gonna link that video for the NFA live That's the one with me Ben and guy from coin Bureau and in the crypto verse and a lot of good discussions about what's happening and Things that are going on. So as it for today, thanks so much for stopping by do appreciate it And I'll see you on the next one


This 10th year of Daily Tech News show is made possible by you, the listener, thanks to all of you, including Larry Bailey, Michelle Serju, and Ms. Music Teacher. Coming up on DTS, Dr. Nicky's here to talk about the effects of birds on solar power, not the other way around, and give her thoughts on the Haiku Box Bird Tracker. Plus, Instagram's founders have a plan for news, and the U.S. has a plan to crush Huawei. This is the Daily Tech News for Tuesday, January 31st. There's no more January after today, 2023 in Los Angeles. I'm Tom Merritt. I'm from Studio Redwood. I'm Sarah Lane. I'm from Alabama. I'm Dr. Nicky. And I'm the show's producer, Roger Chan. Are you done with January, Nicky? It's been the longest January in the history of man for me. You know, somebody told me that yesterday. It's been a long month for many. Well, it's over now for most of the people listening who listen the next day. So congratulations. You made it to February. All right, let's start with the quick hits. IGN sources say that Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo will not attend E3 2023 or have any presence at the show. Now, last week, Microsoft's Xbox team said it would hold its annual summer showcase in Los Angeles, the same city as E3, but didn't say if it would be at the show. E3 last held an in-person show in 2019. Everybody's freaking out about this, but isn't this usually what has been the last several years when they actually had the show? Like Microsoft has an announcement near, Sony has an announcement near, but neither one of them are at the show. I guess people thought it would all, everybody would come back. It would bring them all back together. Come on, people now. OpenAI is launching a tool to detect AI written text. This is something they have been saying to educators they wanted to develop. Now, OpenAI says the developed tool will work as a good classifier and can inform mitigation for false claims that AI generated text was written by a human. But it also admits in its posting that the tool has a ways to go. It can properly identify AI written text 26% of the time. So not most of the time. Room for improvement. And on top of that, it incorrectly identifies human written text as AI generated 9% of the time. So some false positives. Bloomberg sources say that Sony cut projections for launch shipments on the PSVR2 by 50%. It now reportedly expects to ship 1 million units in its launch quarter. The PSVR2 opened for pre-order in November and ships on February 22nd. Samsung posted record revenue, but its operating profit was down from a year ago. Chip demand and chip prices dropped, causing Q4 to be particularly bleak for Samsung. The bright spot was the Samsung Foundry business, which increased its profits as customers are diversifying suppliers. Sales of smartphones fell too, and the company expects that demand to weaken even more this year. However, Samsung does think seven conductor demand may bounce back in the second half of the year. Speaking of earnings, Spotify reported its monthly users grew 20% on the year to 489 million monthly active users, in part due to particularly strong growth in India and Indonesia. Pay-in subscribers grew 14% to 205 million. Spotify also lost money to the tune of 270 million euros. That's a big jump over its loss of 309 million euros for the same quarter last year, but still beat expectations. Spotify also announced that its chief content and advertising business officer, Don Ostruf, will leave the company. Yeah, down from 39 million. That was written wrong there. Ah, yes. It seems like the math is a little backwards there. Yeah, they lost a lot more, is the point, this time the last time. Alright, that's a look at the court case. Instagram co-founders Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger left Facebook back in 2018. You might remember that they were acquired for a cool $1 billion in 2012. It was a big deal at the time. Woo, my goodness. Now, platformers Casey Newton reports that the duo have a new venture focused on next-gen social apps starting with something called Artifact, described as a personalized news feed that uses machine learning to serve you content and let you share it with others. Content being news in this case. The app opened up a waiting list to the public today and will be available on both Android and iOS. Newton likens Artifact to TikTok, but for text or even a mobile focused Google reader. I've applied to be invited in. I can't wait to see it. Unfortunately, people off the wait list are only going to see the news content, which won't answer my question about how the sharing works. The beta people apparently can do postings and see postings from other people, because on the one hand, one of the things that I think is really interesting about this is they're curating the publishers. So that's going to cut down the amount of misinformation, disinformation struggles that they'll have to deal with. If you post though, can I post any link or can I only post links to the curated list of publishers? I'm very curious how they're handling that part of it. But I like this idea of read news that learns what you like to read. Not because you click on it, but because you read it the way that TikTok learns what you like to view. Again, not just because you looked at it, but because of how long you looked at it and did you favorite it and all that sort of stuff. And these guys, Sisterman Krieger are good at this stuff. They also have some other former Instagram folks on the seven person team that they've got going on there. So I think this is an interesting attempt. It's way too early for me to say whether I think it's going to work or not. But it is the kind of thing that Sisterman Krieger said to Newton, like we kind of looked around and we're like, why isn't anybody else doing this? Facebook and Twitter are still focused on followers instead of what you actually like to interact with. Yeah, there's a lot of people who work in media and who write things that might be part of artifact going forward or sort of saying like, first of all, this has been done before and it never worked. Second of all, this is taking the control out of the publisher's hands because Sarah, if she's an artifact user who likes a certain story based on her circle of friends and what she's liked in the past, may get something that is not like actually the best story of the day, which is something that is put together in other senses. You might say something like Google Reader or Tech Mean, for example, this does not seem unlike either of those things. This seems like, okay, we've got let's say a big top story of the day. Lots of people are sharing it. Lots of people are talking about it. If the algorithm that artifact is using, and I'm on the waitlist too, so I have not used this personally, if that works well, me as somebody who I consume quite a bit of news every day, this is an awesome option for me to figure out what is in fact the best news of the day. This is one tool that I would use among others. I think what people are getting a little hung up on is, well now there's this algorithm that's going to tell you what the top news is, whether or not it's the top news, and I think that's sort of beside the point. Well, it's really easy to just put the top news across the top, fixed. Now the top news is up there and the rest of it is personalized to you. And as to people having done this before, systems wanted to wait for the tech to get good enough and Google's invention of Transformer, which by the way is the T in OpenAI's GPT stands for Transformer, is the thing that made these language models work instead of being kind of clunky. So I feel like this is the right time for the thing that never worked before, the Microsoft tablet to become the thing that works, the iPad. You know, we always have those kinds of examples in tech history. I'm curious, Nikki, whether you think of this as a consumer. I'm actually, yeah, addressing this from the consumer point of view. I'm excited if this is like the TikTok algorithm and there are pros and cons. I would argue that, yeah, you put a banner with whatever the top news is, if you want to look at it. And then I would argue that my top news is going to be super different from someone else's top news if there's a breakthrough in birdwatching. I want to be the first to know it, but maybe nobody else cares about it.  But the cons would obviously be, are we going to get push towards extremes, which is kind of what's happening on TikTok? This goes back to what kind of standard of quality are they going to use, which they say they are. We don't really know how that's going to be implicated, but I'm excited to see what it brings because this would lead me to sort of tend towards reading the news a little bit more for stuff that I like and avoid stuff that I don't really want to hear about, even though it's the important news. Well, I think the social aspect of this is supposed to solve this problem. I'm going to say, for example, you, Nikki, are like, well, you know, I really like these kinds of science-based stories, but gosh, it seems like that's all I'm getting now. Am I really getting the full picture? And I, as your contact on Artifact, might say, well, here's some stuff that you actually would be interested in because, you know, I'm your friend, I'm your contact, and I think this is important. And that is supposed to make the algorithm not be so niche, you know, in the way that some people argue that TikTok is, where you kind of go like, okay, all I have now is like form animal TikTok because I like too many of these. There's sort of a back channel going on that's supposed to greater inform what you're getting going forward. Yeah, widen out what you hear. fingers crossed you have a diversified friend group then. That too. Yeah. All right, let's move on to talk about Huawei. Back in July 2019, let's refresh some memories here. The United States added Huawei, which is a Chinese tech company. They're known for phones, but they make networking equipment. Huawei got added to what's commonly referred to as an entity list. Entities on that list are believed by the United States government to pose a significant risk of being or becoming involved in activities contrary to the national security or foreign policy interest of the United States. I think it's important to note that it's not that they are, it's that they're in a position where they could easily become. And so the US doesn't want to give them the tools that could fall into hands that risk national security. That's the principle behind the entity list. In practice, in this case, Huawei's case, it means that any US company that wants to sell to Huawei needs to get a license. It's not a ban. It's always described as a ban, but it's really licensing. That applies to non-US companies that are using US companies intellectual property or equipment, as well as to US companies themselves. So to put it another way, if you don't get approval, you can't sell to Huawei or sell to a company that will use your property to sell to Huawei. So let's talk about the exceptions. It's not a ban. Sarah, what kind of licenses are we talking about here? Yeah, so the US has mostly denied licenses for tech related to building out 5G networks, which was the heart of Huawei's business back in 2019. But the US has been granting licenses to companies like Intel and Qualcomm to sell non-5G stuff to Huawei. So for example, Qualcomm can make some money selling 4G tech, but Huawei can't get their parts to build 5G phones or networking equipment. So you might ask what effect has this had on Huawei? Yeah, it has almost eliminated Huawei's phone and network equipment worldwide sales. They still sell in China, but even there, they're not selling a lot. Huawei phones have dropped out of the top five in China. They spun out the Honor phone company, which had been part of Huawei. They spun it out so it would be a separate company and not subject to the restrictions. It also has encouraged Huawei and the Chinese government to accelerate plans to develop chips domestically. That's going to take years though, so that's not proving to be anything they can use immediately. And in the short term, Huawei has retooled to provide more enterprise and cloud services. The company believes it is out of crisis mode finally after a few years here, four years to be exact, and will be back to business as usual according to their CEO. So Huawei finally dug out from under the restrictions your move, United States. Well, this is potentially bad news for Huawei because it looks like the restrictions will increase. Now, depending on who you ask, the Financial Times says that the U.S. has decided to stop issuing licenses to sell to Huawei. On the other hand, the Wall Street Journal sources say that such a move is being considered but hasn't been made yet. Reuters sources say the department is drafting new policies that would restrict products related to 4G, Wi-Fi 6 and 7, AI, as well as cloud and high-performance computing. The Wall Street Journal also says the department might widen the restrictions on parts suppliers to Huawei as well. That would open it up somewhat. All of that would be designed to send Huawei back into crisis mode. Yeah, so now we're talking almost ban. Like at the point where you can't sell 4G and Wi-Fi 6, I mean, I guess you could sell 3G stuff to them. Shadow ban. Yeah, but this is getting closer to an effective ban on selling. I think this is personal at this point. The United States has not put as severe restrictions, even on ZTE, which they also put on the entity list, and then loosened up around. There is something about Huawei where the United States is not easing up. It's tightening the screws. Any other thoughts on Huawei before we move on? I mean, I guess my only thoughts are, yeah, like how bad is this going to be for Huawei? It seems... It's going to be pretty bad. I'd be worried if I was them. Yeah. Well, because they moved into cloud stuff and now they're like, don't sell them cloud stuff. Like it won't stop them from being able to do cloud altogether, but it's going to affect it. It's going to slow it down, make it harder. Yeah. I guess Huawei sort of has the scarlet letter where it's like the company is like, okay, well, let's see what we can do. And the US was like, not that either. Yeah. And what we know, there's allegations that Huawei is involved closer with the Communist Party and the army than other companies in China are. There is definite proof that they were selling to Iran in a way that skirted rules that should have prevented them from selling to Iran if they wanted to do business in the United States. I feel like it's that. There's something involved in what they gave to Iran that caused the US government to say, unforgivable, we're going to crush you because that looks like what they're trying to do. Folks, if you're feeling social, you can't get in touch with us on the social media, DTNS Show on Twitter. That's DTNS Show with two Ss. Twitter is, I'm sorry. TikTok is Daily Tech News Show. Just like it sounds, Daily Tech News Show. And DTNS Picks with an X, DTNS PIX on Instagram. The Energy Innovation Think Tank published a study estimating that the cost of wind and solar is coming down below other kinds of power plants. UK Think Tank, Ember reports solar and wind power passed natural gas in the EU last year. As far as, I know it passed gas. Sorry. I get it. Yeah. As a percentage of the energy used, the solar part of this, not the gas part, is likely to attract more investors in solar panels. But it turns out that solar panels themselves are likely to attract birds because of the warmth given off by the panels. They provide shelter for nests. Bird droppings and drop debris from their presence, however, as you can imagine, can reduce the efficiency of a solar panel and even damage them leading to higher ownership costs. Lots of methods have been tried to ward off birds from nesting there, but the only effective one is the use of elevated grids of wires called goal wires on poles. However, I have an idea because I've seen Star Wars. Nicky, could we use lasers? Funny that you say that Solar Power World has reported that some companies have decided they are going to use lasers to ward off birds from their crop fields, food production facilities, but also solar panels. So this sounds a little bit sci-fi, but apparently it's being used. So there's like the security camera style poles with lasers at the top of them. And it identifies the birds as a solid object and it points towards them. And according to this story, the system reduces unwanted bird populations up to 90%. And it's less expensive than the traditional wires. I'm sure you can imagine how pigeons get everywhere and on everything and gulls do too. I would be annoyed if they were on my solar panel. And I would take great pleasure in lasering them down even though I like birds. It sounds really fun. We should be clear. The lasers do not explode or roast the birds. They just say somewhere else birds. They bother them.  Well, as luck would have it today, this is not the only bird tech that we have on this episode of DTNS. Nikki, you recently gave a full Live With It report, which we did together on the Haiku box bird call identifier. So for anybody who hasn't listened to that, if you're a patron, the episode is in full and it's available to you. But let's just give folks who aren't familiar a little background on what the Haiku box is. Yeah, did I lobby DTNS to make an only bird episode today? I don't know. You tell me. Successfully. Yeah, so actually DTNS sent me a Haiku box and I was able to test it in my home in New York and my home here in Alabama to have sort of different scientific comparative contexts. But basically it's a smart device that is powered by artificial intelligence and it continuously records sound outside of your house and it automatically identifies birds, songs and calls. So I'm a bird watcher. I was very excited to test this because basically the idea is that you can pick up bird calls that you wouldn't normally hear because you're not sitting outside the entire day, at least I'm not. And things like owls that come out at night. And it has some pros and cons. I lived with it. Sarah and I teamed up to talk about it. But if I sort of distill that down to the main points, my main pro would be that I believe for now this is one of if not the only product on the market that does continuous identification. It's just sitting out there recording on its own for you. Right, because you can do apps, right? But then the apps are in your phone.  The apps are very good, the Merlin app I really like. And that kind of ties into the con here. I don't think this is as good as the Merlin app. I don't think they have a good enough network or data set or something in their AI that's not computing as well. But to finish up the pros, I think this has a huge potential for the scientific community. They need to improve what they have right now. It feels like a beta, but it has potential.  This is what this would be for. However, unfortunately, I don't think it's accurate enough. I got a lot of misidentifications in the city.  It was almost like 80% misidentifications. Because in the countryside it was more like 30%, but still enough to kind of annoy me personally. And so that makes it for the price, which is around $400, not as sellable or that I would want. And the novelty of it does wear off after a while. I was very, very excited in the beginning. Now about three, four months afterwards, I don't check my app that often anymore. Well, especially if you've got that much misrepresentation that's going on. In your Live With It segment, which you talk about in much more detail where you were and why it was misidentifying birds, sure. I mean, if you've got a lot of loud noises in a city, this is just going to happen. And if you've got an app that works well but isn't really allowing you passive recording that you can look at later where you have to hold a phone up near what you think is a woodpecker, making a cool sound, that's fine as long as you're able to do that. But that's not really what the Haiku Box is for, right? The Haiku Box is like, I'm doing all your work for you. And if you care about this, you get all the data later and then say, ooh, look at all these birds that it identified. But if it's not identifying even 50% of birds accurately, then, yeah, $400 is like, hmm, maybe like a first gen of something that could be a lot better. Yeah, and my point is the hardware is there. They just need to improve their neural network or their machine learning or their dataset to include like city sounds, which I don't think they did, honestly. Yeah, it sounds like it's really designed for quieter areas, not really designed for the city, which is fair. And it sounds like something that can be improved. I wouldn't be shocked if we revisited this in three or four years. If this is incredibly accurate, if they get enough data, if they get enough people using it in the real world, that they can learn what was an actual garbage truck and what was not. I'm really optimistic for that. They're really, really small company. They're NSF funded, so I'm excited for them. And they're really responsive. I emailed them and they changed stuff in the app for me. So I'm like, I'm very excited for these guys. They need to up their game. I understand with four people on their team. It's like harder than you think, but I'm rooting for them. I'd like to cover them again in the future. Yeah, I feel like if you're a birder who's techie and are okay with spending $400, you should jump in on this and help them, right? But it's kind of an enthusiast thing at this point. Well, and as you said, Nikki, that you had contacted them and they were like, interesting feedback. Thank you. We will implement that. That's the kind of team you want to talk to, even if they're small and nimble. It's like, wow, okay, I can actually help make this product better based on my enthusiasm for it. Well, just a reminder, if you are a Patreon subscriber, you can catch Dr. Nikki's full review of the Haiku box on the latest episode of Live With It, which we released this past weekend.  Maybe you listened to it. Some of you did. And we got field feedback. Let's check out the mailbag. Feedback. Yeah, so Tim, the DBA who says, I'm a listener since the Buzz Out Loud days did listen to the Live With It segment and said, Dear Dr. Ackerman, thank you for sharing your experience with the Haiku box on Live With It. I am the least birdie of a family of birders. Like you, I use the Merlin Bird app on my phone. I find it quite error-free in the various environments around me, picks up birds that are just on the edge of my range of hearing. The more avid birder members of my family find it quite suitable. If I wanted to improve its sound recognition, I suppose I could purchase an external mic for my phone. And if I wanted to leave it on overnight, I suppose I could buy an external flash drive. No pricey extra hardware, no subscription. So I fail to see the draw of the Haiku box. From your Live With It, it seems like you do too. And then Ulrike commented on the Live With It post on Patreon. On the topic of peregrine falcons in New York City, Ulrike says there are actually a lot of them. Skyscrapers mimic the falcons natural cliff habitat and scientists have been encouraging peregrines to call cities home for decades. True, not as many as the Haiku box thought, which was definitely the garbage truck.  But there are quite a few, but like you're happy if you see one. And then as to Tim's point, what do you think of the idea of like, yeah, just put a battery pack and a phone and a flash drive. And then you could just keep a way of doing exactly what they did. If you want to do that, I think you would get the same result. I don't know how long Merlin were actually run for. I've run it for about 30 minutes. I haven't tried doing it longer. And I had to like keep pressing on it. Yeah, if you have the cash. Stoic Squirrel says, for some reason, there are a lot of peregrine falcons in Manhattan, but fewer in the other boroughs. Is that because of less skyscrapers? High rents and yeah. Yeah, the commute. They have expensive pallets. Yeah. Well, let's keep the bird theme running. Shall we? Let's do it. The flightless Dodo bird, which you probably have not come in contact with because it's been extinct since 1662, but once lived on the island of Mauritius. Now US biotech company Colossal Biosciences, based in Austin, Texas, wants to bring the Dodo back through de-extinction and large-scale genome engineering, which also hopes to morph some modern elephants back into woolly mammoths and resurrect the Tasmanian tiger. MIT Technology Review published an interview with Colossal CEO Ben Lam, who describes including sequencing of ancient DNA and also cloning even artificial wombs to achieve this particular goal. So where did they get where they need to do this? Ben Shapiro, a specialist in ancient DNA at the University... Beth Shapiro. Beth Shapiro. Thank you, Nikki. Not Ben. She's Beth. Ancient DNA at the University of California, Santa Cruz, says that she and co-workers were able to recover detailed DNA information from 500-year-old Dodos, which is currently held at a museum in Denmark. Now Colossal plans to try to modify the bird's closest living relative, the Nicobar pigeon, turning it step-by-step into a Dodo and possibly rewilding the animal in its native habitat. Nikki, this sounds very difficult. Is it possible? I have strong opinions.  First of all, Beth Shapiro, great geneticist. I don't know her personally, but I know her work. She's a consultant, so we don't have to smash down on her. Really cool that they're getting into the Dodo genome. We are very, very far away from cloning extinct animals. Ethically, terrible idea. Rewilding ethically, also terrible idea. I have a lot to say about this. I honestly think this company is just getting people's money and they're not going to deliver on their promises. If you wanted to, and you can see that because they're going from mammoth to Tasmanian tiger, down to Dodo is getting smaller and smaller over the years. And they haven't done any of them, right? No, they're not even, we're nowhere close to this. And just saying like, oh yeah, they're closest relative is the Nicarbar pigeon. I don't know how, if people realize like, that's not close. Like they're not the same species. There's a lot of huge gaps in DNA that you just need to fill. And it's not Jurassic Park. And Jurassic Park already shows us problems. I am very passionate about this topic. I don't know if I know myself down, but if you took even this as an example, like the whole, the Dodo first of all is like six or seven times bigger than Nicarbar pigeon. They, their eggs are probably completely different. Like we are nowhere near this kind of technology. It's cool that we know things more about their DNA, but the artificial wombs, like we are not there with that. You know, cloning, no, just they're taking people's money for fancy speeches and they're doing, I don't know what they're doing with it, but they're not cloning stuff yet. What was interesting in this article is they pointed out that an egg, a bird egg is essentially a big cell. The nucleus that you would usually use to clone is the yolk of the egg. So cloning doesn't work with a bird egg. You have to get into the gonads and try to use that to modify the genes, which they apparently can do with chickens, but they haven't been able to work, I'd make it work outside of chickens. So it sounds like, yeah, this is not, this is very far away from being something they could do. And if you even wanted to think about the mammoth, one of the many, many blockades is like, you know, in order to produce a mammoth, you would have to put a baby cloned woolly mammoth in a adult mammoth and have it give birth that way. But sorry, an adult elephant, but we're already in zoos not able to have like healthy births from elephants. It's very, very hard and a lot of them die in the process. So ethically, you'd need about 80 elephants to even try to make this work and just like assume that we're going to have them die. Like this is going nowhere. Sorry, I'm like, I love Jurassic Park, but it's not going to happen. The one technical thing I'll do before we move off of this. Colossal spun out a bioinformatics company called FormBio, which is selling its software to help manage lab results. I feel like that's what this company is going to end up being known for. It's the AWS effect. The tools it makes along the way to whatever they end up doing or not doing will probably end up being the profitable part of this company. Yeah, maybe the big advertisement poll is just to fund that kind of stuff in the end. But this is frustrating to scientists because it's pseudoscience and people are believing it and then... Yeah. Yeah, we're not getting dodos or mammoths or Tasmania tigers. And not that I wouldn't be the first person on the plane if we did. Ethically, I'm not happy about it. I would still go visit them. Well, this is why we had you on the show, Dr. Nicky. I mean, this is exactly why, because when I saw the story this morning, I was like, wow, sounds pretty cool. I'd love to see a dodo in the wild. Turns out there are ethical issues, even if that were to be possible, which it doesn't seem like it will be for some time. So thank you for shedding a little bit of scientific light on that and let folks know where they can keep up with what else you do. Yes. Thank you for having me. I love coming on this show. I'm at Ackerman's Nicole on Twitter and nickolackermans.com is my website. Come and check out what I do. And my brand new lab is up and running at the University of Alabama. Roll tide. Very cool. We want to extend a special thanks to Britt Thomas, one of our top lifetime supporters for DTNS. And we'd like to shout out some of you here and there. Today's your day, Britt.

So I want to do one more quick thing. Now we talked about polarity, right? I'm going to have you step right over here. We talked about polarity, right? And polarity is this idea that there's a dance of the masculine and the feminine. What is the masculine? The masculine's like a picture frame. The feminine's the art. It's the expression. Wouldn't you rather look at her more than me? That's kind of the balance, right? And the riverbanks are the masculine. But the water is the feminine. The water is flowing. The riverbanks are more still. So when the feminine feels you show up in the midst of her, let's say you've got a mountain and the weather pattern is beating on the mountain, the weather being the feminine, the mountain being the masculine.  When the feminine feels you show up in the midst of all her emotions, that makes her happy. It turns her on. So let's say she gets mad at you for something. But you stay solid and grounded and you show up anyways in the midst of her anger. That can turn her on. That can make her happy.  But then you get in a fight and what does it do? She doesn't talk to you for a week. What's the difference?  You didn't fight from your emotions. You didn't connect from your emotions, right? You didn't ground her out. That's the difference.  So I'm going to do a quick thing. It's just to show you guys a little polarity. So just go ahead and do it. You do it a little harder. I wanted to do it a little harder. That was kind of, yeah, harder. Come on. You can do it. I'll set it closer. So what I'm simulating here is she's pushing on me, right? So do it a couple of times. Sorry. Good. See, that's what I want. I want her to giggle and laugh a little bit. And there's a reason for that. I'm not shrinking. I'm not getting mad. I usually do this with a slap, but I'm not going to do it like that on the camera, where she comes at me really hard. And what this does, it just simulates this idea that the feminine is going to test you. It's going to push on you. It's going to dance with you. Can you step into it and own it? Can you be like, yeah, I'm right here? Because what is that going to do? If I'm the solid picture frame for her, and she feels I'm not breaking, and I stay solid without losing control, without losing my mind, without yelling and screaming back, that causes her to relax more in the end because her man is being solid. Did you want to say anything on that?  It's not mine. I'm here. It's yours because you just hit me, right? Yeah. OK. So yeah, that's, of course, that would be like. OK, to demonstrate what she's talking about, hit me one more time.  Please don't do that. Did you see the reaction difference? OK. Yeah, come forward again. So we're in the camera. So do it one more time. And so now I step into it right here. Do you guys feel the polarity difference in that? OK. And that's demonstrating testing. Now, that can be done with words. We use the physical so you guys can see it, so it's obvious. But really, it's most likely going to be done with words. She's going to say something, you're going to say something back, and it's the energy behind the words that cause the effect. OK.
