I'm Meredith Morakovitz alongside Jack Curry. Jack, the clubhouse got a lot more fold this morning. Pitchers and catchers have been here for a couple of days, but position players finally reported. Nice to see a full clubhouse again, right? It was nice to watch Gio Orcella feeling some ground balls at third, Torres at short. LaMejia was over there at second. We had the opportunity to talk to a few of those players. My talkman made an appearance, Meredith. We were part of that interview situation. And he's ready to go. Healed from that calf injury. And a player who provides defense. That's the thing that I think about with talkmen. He had great offensive numbers last year, but this guy is an asset defensively, can give you plus defense in all three spots. Well, I actually asked Aaron Boone how he sees Giancarlo Stanton this year. Is he viewing him as an everyday DH? Is he viewing him as an everyday left fielder? And he said it is probably going to depend a lot on the guys around him. He knows he's athletic enough to play solid left field. They feel very comfortable the way he's settled in over the last season and a half. Obviously last season did not get in a lot of games when he was DHing, but a lot is going to be dependent on if guys need an off day or a half day to kind of get themselves healthy. Or if everyone is healthy, maybe you'll see him DH a little bit more with talkmen in left field. Is there room for any other outfielders on this team? That's my question. It's a great question. I mean, we know there's a 26 man roster this season. I almost automatically see Tyler Wade as that 26th man because of his versatility. I think you start to talk about your bench. I think there's a spot on this team for Mike Ford as a left-handed hitter to back up void at first base because LaMahew is now your steady second baseman. So an answer to your question, I'm not exactly sure if there is a way to squeeze another outfielder on there because I think Wade kind of looms as that guy. And Annduhar, who I think is absolutely making this team might be getting some reps during the season in the outfield as well. And they'd really like to see him during spring training. He's already started working in the outfield a little bit. I'm sure we'll talk to him in coming days, but he's been moving around first base, third base, outfield, trying to find a way just to get that bat in the lineup. Wouldn't be surprised if you saw him DH a game or two to see how he looks there as well. I agree. And going back to your standing question to Boone, I thought Boone's answer to you was interesting. And if I'm reading tea leaves, as much as I think they need Stanton to play left field, from Boone's answer, I see a lot of DH in Stanton's future. They want him on the field, they want that bat in there. Left field at Yankee Stadium can be a tricky proposition. Remember when they got Stanton married, if we all reported on this, they talked about the idea that in places like Camden Yards and Fenway Park, where it's a shorter left field, that's a spot where you can play Stanton and maybe not lose anything. So I don't know if it's going to be 60, 40, 70, 30. I do think to keep Stanton's bat in the lineup and keep him healthy, DH is going to be a slot. We see him in a lot. Valuable and the emergence of Mike Tachman certainly helps make that decision a little bit easier. There also were a lot of pitchers at work today. You saw Jay Hap throwing to batters, Masahiro Tanaka as well. Tanaka working on a cutter. You'd like to use that a little bit more to left-handed batters. And who better to learn from than Andy Pettit. He was in camp today. Kind of nice to see Andy again. It was nice to see Andy and you're right. What a perfect segue or a perfect headline to have Tanaka working on that cutter, a pitch that he wants to bore in on left-handed hitters. Now, obviously Andy was a lefty and his moved in on right-handed hitters, but the point is still the same. And I looked it up on BrooksBaseball.com. Tanaka threw his cutter about 6% of the time last year so that it is a weapon in his arsenal. It hasn't been a weapon that he's used a ton. Boone made it sound like he absolutely wants to increase the usage of that, make the slider and the splitter even better. A little bit better, even maybe a little bit more effective if he's able to own that side of the plate with the cutter against left-handed batters. Time will tell whether or not he uses it. A lot of guys work on a lot of things in spring training and then maybe as the regular season moves on they're not comfortable doing it. That's certainly something to keep an eye on. Jay Hap seemed pretty much business as usual. Yeah, he did. And I think Hap can have a big influence on the Yankees this season. Let's look at who he was in the second half of the season when he finally got acclimated to the baseball. When I think he also stopped experimenting a little bit, honestly. This is a guy whose red and butter pitch has always been his foreseam fastball. The problem with the foreseamer was he was missing location with it. I think he got back to having more confidence in that pitch and I think is a pitcher the Yankees can rely on. You mentioned the position players seeing Lameju out there, Torres out there. Gia Urchela still a huge smile on his face but when you mentioned Torres it made me think of this. He addressed the media in the clubhouse and of course the Astros questions were asked and he certainly didn't shy away from it. Jack, he's usually a little reserved but not today. He answered about four or five questions about making the transition from second base to shortstop. And then the questions about the Astros came and you're right Meredith. He was passionate. He was animated. Glibertura as I would always describe him as being a very polite young man but more on the reserved side. For him this topic hit home like any player on the Yankees like any player who feels as if they've been wrong by the Astros. He talked about how frustrating it was and then the headline would be he doesn't believe that they didn't cheat last season. He said if you cheated in one in 2017 why wouldn't you cheat the year after that and then the year after that and then he used a very interesting video game analogy which is more for people who play video games, not me. Can you decipher that one for me? Not a huge video game player but apparently he plays video games with Luis Severino fairly frequently and he said look if I'm sitting there and I'm playing video games with Luis Severino and I look over and I see his controller what he's gonna do next and I use it and I win. You better believe I'm doing it again and I won again. So it sounds like he's already done that so Luis we're sorry to inform you but Glibertura's been cheating for a while. You might wanna separate a little bit or at least cover the controller. It was a casual everyday example but it was also a logical example and it shows you that Glibertura's like most people who have observed this situation is angry at the Astros, believes that the Astros have violated baseball law by cheating and Meredith I drew the comparison the fact that he's from Venezuela. I asked him about a Jose Altuve. In the middle of all this with the Astros this is someone that Torres has leaned on for advice. It's someone who is an idol in his native homeland and even in that situation I thought Torres gave a great answer. He's a great guy. He's a humble guy. He's called me in the off season to talk to me about my workouts but if he did everything that people are saying that he did and he was involved in all this that is wrong. That is not something I can have respect for. And he reiterated the fact in Venezuela they teach you to respect the game. Cheating is not respecting the game that is going to continue I would think throughout this spring training there are several players that have not spoken on that yet one being Aaron Judge I imagine that's going to come in the future. Yeah I think we'll probably hear from a bevy of Yankees tomorrow. It's the first day that position players will actually all be in uniform and working out. Judge is an obvious example because of what Cody Bellinger is on the record as having said that he feels Altuve stole an MVP award from Judge in 2017. So you know someone's going to ask Judge about that. It might be me or you. It's going to be somebody. That question will come up early. Anything else on your mind today Jack? No it's just it's another beautiful day. I know the folks back in the northeast who are watching this and don't want to hear about how great the weather is. They can tune off right now but it's it's been a great spring training. The weather has been terrific and a lot a lot to get done and starts to gear up even more tomorrow. And what is exciting? We are not too far away from the first game that yes is going to televised. I believe that is February 22nd against the Blue Jays. We will have it on yes. So be sure to stick with us. Until then we'll be on Twitter. We'll be on Instagram. We'll be where else will we be? Jack we'll be everywhere. We'll be everywhere. Everywhere. And then on The Real TV come February 22nd. We'll see you tomorrow.


so fear and panic peaked last week as you guys can see in the fear and greed index with the china bitcoin ban news headlining the tour de fad over the weekend a lot of rumors and speculation continued to circulate this crypto space as we hit another low of $31,000 but you can see exactly where we bounced here on the bottom of our falling wedge where it took off to where we currently are at a possible breakout point so is the bottom in is the reversal about to play out we're going to be talking about that plus a possible short squeeze scenario that can take us back up to 50k stay tuned hey what's up j here and welcome to bitcoin daily bring you guys the best tips tutorials and ideas to help you guys become profitable and successful investors the goal of this channel is to empower you guys with the knowledge and resources to help you get to that next level so guys make sure to smash the like button on this video if you guys are new here don't forget to subscribe and turn on the notification bell so as you guys can see the total crypto market cap is up to $1.59 trillion which is a 20 percent increase over the last 24 hours so if we take a look at the total market cap right now you can see that from the top of the market cap so the top that we were at was 2.577 trillion it dropped by 53 percent from the top to the bottom so from the bottom to where we are currently right now we've gone up 30 percent so we've gained another 361.855 billion dollars into the market basically over the last day so over the last 24 hours you can see that we're finally seeing some green again across the markets bitcoin is up 12 and a half percent today ethereum is up 27.8 or 0.6 now for 27 percent on the day guys binance is up 36 cardano up 25 doge is still not really moving to much only up 8 percent today xrp moving back up 23 percent and polka dot up 35 percent on the day some of the crazier moves are of course polygon matic that is up on over 100 percent on the day however in the last seven days you guys can see we're still basically red here the fear and greed index is at a all-time low at extreme fear well i don't know if it's an all-time low but it's at 10 which is the lowest we've seen it in a very long time if we go up to to the top to look at the graph here you can see that we've been going lower and lower and lower if i put a full year you see that this is a low the lowest that we've been if i go over to max you will see that 10 is the lowest we've been since march of 2020 when the pandemic plunged the entire market basically so if we come on over to the daily time frame here you can see the very very clear falling wedge pattern that we currently have here in the market we've been talking about it for about a week now it's still there so the falling wedge pattern is still intact and notice something here we're starting to get a push right we're getting a push up out of this pattern so this could be the beginning of our move back up that would mean that 30 k here and 31 k was the bottom this could also be the beginning of a w pattern basically that would be you know the the w like this the bounce up then the second bottom this would be kind of like the double bottom then a bounce up like that and that would lead us to continue up higher so that's also a reversal pattern there and now basically we're just waiting to see if we get that confirmation closed above this breakout zone here for bitcoin outside of this falling wedge reversal pattern right so this is a reversal signal if we get the breakout here so what can we expect if this does close outside and above this this um falling wedge pattern what's next what's to expect here so the next level is going to be 40 000 i would say 40 k is going to be the next level but that might not be the most important level the most important level here might actually be 42 000 i believe that above 42 000 because it was such a big as you guys can see here it was a big um component for support there you guys see that it was support here as well it's also a fibonacci level it was also a previous all-time high support again here so it's definitely a big point of interest because it's such an important level i believe that if we go above 42 k that could cause a short squeeze so you guys can see here that a short squeeze is a rapid increase in the price of a stock owning primarily to an excess of short selling of a stock rather than underlying fundamentals so as you guys can see here the way a short squeeze works is once we get a breakout where we get to the short squeeze breakout level which i believe is currently around that 42 000 mark it can cause a parabolic rise in the short term right and this is caused because short traders people that are short the position um they start getting margin called they start closing their positions they start hitting stop losses all of that basically which is what happened to us here right this was basically a long squeeze that's why these candles are so big because a lot of people that were long got squeezed and basically all their long calls and their long positions they were over leveraged in had to either they had to close it out or they had to they got liquidated which closed out the position so they ended up selling the positions things like of that nature right so above that 42 k level because it's such a big level for us there i think that that could lead to the breakout back to that 50 k level of course first we have to we have to get through 48 000 but i believe a breakthrough 42 k could lead us right back to 48 getting above 48 will get us back above 50 and that basically at that point we're back to where we started right we're back in our normal trading zone and we would be able to get back to 60 k at that point now it's not it's not going to be easy it's not going to happen overnight it's not going to happen it might not happen for some time but i do think that that's something that could happen that's the the bullish case scenario right now if you look back at the previous falling wedges that we had here you can see that once we broke out we did have nice moves up to the upside this one broke out here around that 50 000 range and went all the way back up to 60 k this one here broke out around 45 000 and ended up running all the way up to 62 000 before it took a break and then it ended up running to our previous all-time high up here 65 k here you can see a similar pattern as well when we broke out of around that 30 33 000 32 range ended up running all the way up to 58 500 and that eventually led us higher to our current all-time high so it's definitely something that we can see again right you know where it's the same pattern here we've seen the same pattern multiple times this could be every time you know since this boron has started every time we've seen this pattern it's been a reversal pattern and it's been a pattern saying that they're running the bull the bears are running out of gas basically and they're ready for a move back up the bulls have taken control again and that's what's happened every time so if we go off of history right if we base base this off of history what's happened in the past one we've seen the same move that's what the chart is currently telling us now of course it doesn't mean it's going to happen doesn't mean it's a guarantee it's not a 100 it's just a probability play right so the theory on this pattern like we always do we always I like to educate you guys on the theory of trading theory of patterns and different things that go on in the market so the theory of this one is that this is a reversal pattern this doesn't mean that the bears are getting tired they're getting exhausted you can see that if you look back on the daily the volume's been going down so that's also another sign for reversal and it means that the bulls are ready to take over here and push the prices back up so when you put this together with a possible short squeeze at $42,000 that basically gives us a possible target here to get back above 50k and possibly be able to retest $60,000 area which has been a big resistance for us and the previous all-time high so I know you guys are wondering are we taking any trades yet because lately we've only been dollar cost averaging as a price has been falling we've been dollar cost averaging on the way down remember we told you right now we were only buying for long-term positions we're just stacking up sats at its since it's currently at a discount we just wanted to stack up as much as possible for the run back up because we really do believe in bitcoin in the long term even if we have to wait years it's fine we are okay with buying as the dip goes down we will stack up and when eventually it does go up then we're prepared but Jay like you're just telling people to buy the dip while it's falling and that's dumb they're just going to keep losing money stop telling people to catch falling knives that's not good advice first of all this is not financial advice secondly what we always say to do is to dollar cost average dollar cost averaging your way down as the price dips has proven to be the most successful strategy the most simplest strategy for anyone that's trying to get into the market at better prices we did the same thing last year during the march 2020 pandemic when everybody was fearful when everybody was scared everybody was saying that it was over that we were all doomed we bought the dip we told people that what we were doing and how we were doing it dollar cost averaging our ways down and that they could do it too because we recommended that was the best strategy the simplest strategy for someone that's not a day trader so anyone that did that during that time is in profit buy a lot and we believe in the long term again by doing the strategy you will be in profit again this is not advice this is just our personal opinion this is my perspective don't have to do it if you don't want to it's okay stay poor if you're scared go to church or put your money in the index funds make your eight percent returns annually and have peace of mind that's fine it's nothing wrong with that but jay so you always say huddle does that mean you never take profits incorrect again we always tell people to take profits as the price goes up and buy as the price goes down what we do is take profits as the price goes up to new all-time highs we build a cash position which is part of our portfolio which we have told you guys in many different videos and then as the price falls we use that cash position that we have ready that we took profits with and we buy more bitcoin now the majority of our bitcoin we bought long term so we bought at prices that are very very far away from where we currently are right now and that part of our portfolio is for a long term for the next 10 years we don't plan on selling now our cash part of the portfolio which it makes up around 10 it could be anywhere between 5 to 15 percent at any given time it depends we use that liquid cash to buy dips and then as the price goes back up to all-time highs we take profits and we build we rebuild that cash position we try to maintain it between 5 to 10 15 percent of our portfolio and we use that cash again when there's another dip and we just continue doing this over and over in over the long run this continues to build us up our bitcoin portfolio bigger and bigger any outcoins that we're buying the same thing we just continue making that position bigger and then of course we have a separate portfolio just for trading which is about another 10 to 20 percent of our entire portfolio there's a method to the madness guys all righty guys so we've covered our thoughts on bitcoin and the entire crypto market in reality bitcoin is the entire crypto market right so and our thoughts on it where we think it's going the possibilities for the next move in the reversal and now we're going to talk about some possible short-term trades that we're going to be looking forward to take with some leverage now if you're enjoying this video make sure to smash that like button if you're new to the channel don't forget to subscribe and turn on the notification bell now let's all go ahead and smash the like button at the same time are you guys ready one two three boom all righty guys so let's talk about some trade setups that we are watching here so the first level and really one of the only levels i'm currently looking at right now is the same level i gave you guys on friday's video i want a break above 40 000 dollars a break above 40 000 should take us at least to 42 000 obviously it's not a given but it's pretty secure pretty secure of a trade if we get a break in confirmation above 40 000 so that's the the trade i'm looking for this week right now and then my second trade would of course be above 42 000 that would be the next trade i'm looking to take right now if we go backwards if we go down i'm not really looking for any trades because we could come back down and test the top of this falling wedge before continuing up that is a possibility that is something that prices like to do a lot i'm not really buying anything down here for short-term trades i am buying for long-term trades so remember that anywhere between 30 000 to 32 000 i am buying for short-term trades below 30 000 i'm also dollar cost averaging my way down but that's all for long-term trades for short term i'm only entering above 40 and 42 here for bitcoin for a theorem i've gotten a little bit uh riskier as you guys can see 2500 is a big level for a theorem here so i've actually been taking short-term leverage trades here at 2500 today really the next trades i'm looking for here i'll still be using at 2500 level to continue you know enter if we go below it again and it goes back above i'll enter again with the momentum to the upside if we continue up the next trade i'd probably be looking at is possibly above 2800 and then of course above 3000 dollars 3000 will be the that big big level there so above 3000 i'm happy to take trades there above 2800 i'm taking trades but i'm still risking under 1% of my trading portfolio there above 3000 i'll be risking a little bit more i'm willing to risk 2 to 3 percent of my theorem portfolio all right god that is pretty much it i know it's been a crazy weekend and it's been a crazy week really but things are looking are starting to look a little bit better um we're seeing the light at the end of the tunnel here so we just gotta stay positive guys you gotta stay with it i'm continuing to dollar cost average if the prices go down if not then i'm starting to look for short-term trade setups as the prices go up and looking for that bounce back man to previous highs so we just gotta take it day by day dollar by dollar and we will get there guys the bull run is not over thank you

Hello, in this screencast we're going to take a look at this proposition with three variables in it and try to construct a truth table for it. So the proposition is P implies not Q or R. First thing we need to do is make three columns, one for P, one for Q, and one for R. And what we're going to do first is list all possible truth combinations of these three variables. So there are eight of those, and we're going to go with true, true, true, false, false, false, true, false, false, and set R equal to true to get our first four rows. And then the next four rows, we're going to copy down the same first four rows for P and Q. True, true, true, false, false, true, false, false, and set R equal to false for those. That's going to give us all eight distinct rows for this truth table. Okay, so just as an algebra, we're going to begin to build the truth table for this proposition from the inside out going into the innermost parentheses first. So let's start with not Q. We're going to make a quick column for not Q. To do that, we're just going to look over at Q and then the negation of Q, not Q, is going to have the opposite truth value. So if that's true, this is now going to be false. This is false. This is now going to be true. And so on, false, true, false, true, false, true. Okay, now the next level of parentheses out would be to create this or statement, not Q or R. So we're going to make a column for it yet. Not Q parentheses or R. Now this is an inclusive or a regular disjunction. So we're going to look at not Q. I'm just going to make a little star with this. Not Q and the column for R. And if either of the truth values in this column or both are true, we're going to put true here. That's how a disjunction works. And if both of these two statements are false, we're going to put false. So here we're going to have true because the R is true. Here we're going to have true because both statements are true. This is going to be true as well. And this is going to be true as well. In this row, both R and not Q are false. So we're going to put false there. This would be true, false, false again. So that's false, false, true, and we have true. So that's just a simple disjunction. Okay, now the last column to put in is for, we've gotten all of this stuff in a column. Now we're just going to make a column for the main proposition. P implies not Q or R. All right, now to do that, let me, let's see, let me get rid of, let's see, we don't need to do that. I'm just going to highlight what we're going to look at here. We're going to look at this column and P. Now this is a, excuse me, this is an implication, a conditional statement. Here is the hypothesis over here, the hypothesis, and the conclusion is right here. Okay, so we can ignore all the other columns. Those are just used to build up the, this column and the last one. So we're looking for, at a, at a conditional statement, that is true in all cases except where the hypothesis is true, but the conclusion is false. Okay, so we're just going to look in those two columns. True and true, that would give me a true conditional statement. True and true, again true here. In these two columns, the third and fourth one, the hypothesis is false, and so in that case we say the entire conditional statement is true. In the fifth row, I've got a true hypothesis and a false conclusion, and there is where we pick up a false for the conditional statement. In the sixth row, I have true hypothesis and a true conclusion. In that case the conditional statement is true. In the last two rows, the hypothesis is false and so the entire conditional statement is true. And that is the truth table for this statement. There is the final column that tells us when this large conditional statement is true. It's almost always true except in this particular circumstance.


see you see you see you see you see us right now let's do that intro again okay hey everyone it's been easy at your community outreach specialist for the Pasco Sheriff's office which some of you seem to ask all the time but um yeah i do work here have for almost three years now at this point why is this becoming about me it's not it's actually going to be about deafening joey martinez you're gonna give you five things that you didn't know about him so stay clip edit roll film whatever chop this part done all right okay some acting so this should be easy breezy for him what's number one speaking of that what's number one what's the number one thing that you could tell them so one of the one of the questions i always had asked is about the skydiver so i am actually a skydiver yes um license like an actual skydiver and i'm like oh i'm gonna go tandem like no he is the one to do the tandem well i don't i don't do the tandems okay but couldn't someone go i can jump with you so i can't take i can't take you hooked on me oh i can jump with you oh i don't want to mislead all of you this is why joey is doing his own video to inform all of you i just get really excited about my friends okay okay so it's really cool how many jumps have you done so do you know i would have to look at my law's book but it's like a thousand i have done a lot a lot of jumps after a lot so people say skydiving is dangerous a jab to me i feel like that was a jab like right to me i'm trying to get it it's a work in progress so work and never yep yep just saying we're gonna what cross our fingers and never hold our breaths right yeah now what's number two also so our background we have three district offices and then we also have a substation that is actually at wire grass mall and that is where we are now and it is raining so we are hiding out in the parking garage it's nice right it's a nice change you see right exactly exactly what's number two tell me so i am actually not a native fluridian we're from i am from new jersey uh i love home jersey sure hoping so i was very close to the jersey shore okay i did not know situation i did not know ronnie i didn't know any of that snooki but uh jay wow don't know how i know that i have ran into them at seaside are you serious so what i've been told is though they aren't they're not from new jersey though so they don't really um so they don't really you don't get the actual true sense of new jersey from the jersey shore and the thing is we uh us jerseys are a lot more calm than the show makes it seem we are very comfy just calm what's your favorite thing about new jersey um like the one thing that florida can't give you i enjoy being extremely close to new york city oh yeah okay he has no how i feel about new york it's like a mur like i guess i had to go i would go it's home sweet home the country jumping so how far away is like new jersey to new york so i was five minutes from the george washington bridge so five minutes i was gonna say like an hour or two but i have no sense of direction and geography is not my strong suit okay what's number three so prior to this and i still do it uh i'm music producer and audio engineer um it is how i made my living uh prior that's really cool i know that you're doing it since a very young age i love it it's very free you kind of express yourself in ways that you can't work you can't work you know like the words failed music speaks kind of thing literally music crosses all languages cultures you know universally understood what instruments do you play so i play the guitar i play the bass nope say it again because i feel like they're gonna be very upset with us like what do you play i play a guitar i play a bass and i play piano i play the piano too you guys know yeah do you play piano mm-hmm classically trained 14 years yeah oh my head's up look at that we we've had this conversation i think we have i don't think we have i think she's i might have just made that up but yeah we can't play together though i don't play in front of people why not i know that's the fun thing about music is playing with other people i'll watch you i'll be there and try to whistle you can walk you can't listen i that was the best i've probably ever done in my life very talented over here just got a list of them boom okay that's really cool can do you still dabble like in your off days oh absolutely yeah absolutely um it's not something i would just forget about let go um it's part of me so whenever i'm off i'll uh i'll play i'll make every uh yeah make records you know um i'll record a lot of videos too of like myself playing in very obscure weird places just as part of like a team i love that so what's the weirdest place that you found so far in florida so or like that you recorded it the weirdest place so train tunnel it's not really weird so train tunnel is on the list actually it's okay where my next video is into me okay um downtown tampa um but i want to go with the weirdest while i go with my favorite place was this is dirt road uh by where i live and at a certain time of day it has some really awesome lighting and it kind of sets a really cool mood really so i live uh off of 54 and what's the chapter we had this competition okay okay so i was like kind of like paint a picture in my head this like dirt road yeah no uh it's a very obscure road uh but highly highly traveled so it was really hard to get it because carter just keep coming through constantly try to be like all right cut and then have to redo it yeah my life joey knows my life basically okay what is i have no clue what number we're on but what's next i think it's four or five four let's see we guys know it's always more skydiving music uh jersey jersey acting acting you didn't talk about acting i kind of said that you're an actor but they don't know to what degree so uh i do not consider myself a professional actor um i have a lot more respect for the profession than that uh but i do like to record videos i do a lot of videography and cinematography um and i enjoy just being in front of the camera trying to get into a different character than than who i am have you recorded any sort of short films i have anytime recently um i did a short film uh recently the basis of the film uh was just a uh a secret agent trying to get to where he needs to get to save the world so it was really great guys it was really great i wonder if we talk long enough about this that i can just insert the entire thing right here probably we just give it another you know a couple of minutes a couple of seconds he's just going me exactly like yeah that's really it's it's a really good film though i'm like oh joey's the next james bond yeah okay would be cool though but you guys will see if you if you finish watching this clip right here comment below if you think it's on james bond i've actually never seen james bond so speaking of james bond i will say in the video i skydive in a suit did i notice that and now i did catch me if you can guys it's really interesting what else do we have so i love it if you also find him on social media we're not gonna throw that out there don't be creepy but if you want to be creepy enough to search for him there's so much footage of him skydiving and said short film yeah also in case you're wondering just in case just like what's next uh oh have you broken anything any odd injuries nothing odd but i have just walking in my wrist broke how do you break your wrist on a motorcycle um skydives like acting he's a musician see i love her because she just gasses me up literally like rides motorcycles you know bad boy has an injury from a motorcycle like you could up like yeah what happened um so i was just uh taking a corner and the uh bike just low sided so it slid out from under me and i just blinded on my wrist it's okay but let me tell that story to someone new yeah it'll be a whole another level of like someone's jaw will be on the ground it's always better when someone else explains oh my gosh what did deputy martin let's do and now he's at cop okay what else we got um a lot of some of you guys don't care about but i'm gonna throw it out anyway uh martina martina martina denta it's back with us but i think it's okay to you yep um i do speak spanish really in case you couldn't tell but no judgments it's 2019 that's right you don't um yeah i grew up with my uh my mom my grandma my nanny talked to me in spanish so she was very nicely yeah she still is very nice yeah i love that yeah she's like a second mom um ola como estas that is awesome see look at that anybody can do it anybody you just have to you just have to banjo is bathroom blanco means white yes not bathroom yeah that's a story for another day you can't use the blanco you can't use the white don't ask for the blanco because people will look at you like you're crazy and they might possibly think that you are asking for narcotics just speaking from experience yeah do anything else not do you know anything else do you have anything else for the people for the fans for the viewers no not really i'm pretty sure and that was more than five i'm pretty she's responding to exactly you i take care of all of you like you can never complain so if you haven't already done so like this video comment if you thought that that clip was similar to james bond and once again i haven't seen james bond so does james bond ever skydive absolutely i'll go home and watch it i'll do my own research let's not comment on that subscribe if you haven't a little confused if you're late in the game if you are just now subscribing and you just found our channel welcome all of that hey by the way if you and i whoever's watching this ever meet in person you can call me joey you don't have to call me deputy okay we're friends what it's joey have you guys ever gotten that before ever no he's friendly he's a great deputy you can call me benny it's benny with a why i've never corrected anyone but i'm just saying it's benny with a why we just got my first name wrong all the time too but it's really okay and it's involved i try i don't just here we are everything she says it's smooth squeeze like not at all which is why i edit everything but thanks for following along you guys here's deputy joey martinez if you haven't already met him from a tweet along and we will see you next time see you


Okay, thank you. So this talk is about GNU Tyler and how to do secure web payments with it So GNU Tyler is a currently research project being developed at Inria, which is a French national research institution And it's also part of the GNU project. So it's completely free and open source software So I can I think we can all agree in this room that modern economies need some form of currency One form of currency is cash, but as you've noticed recently in India there quite a few problems with cash mainly revolving around a legitimate users and also in our lives where more and more things are becoming digital It's very cumbersome to have like Printed cash notes So what is the solution for that? Maybe credit or debit cards? I think the answer would be no because for Credit and debit card companies. They're mostly controlled by like a Oligopoly of very few big and foreign companies if we look at the chart So for credit cards, it's mostly visa mastercard union pay and other big American companies And for debit cards, it's even worse So this can result in quite high fees because only a few companies are in control of the infrastructure and also credit card payments are really cumbersome and Expensive especially if you're doing small and frequent online transaction So let's see you want to pay a journalist who wrote an article and purchase it It's really cumbersome if every time you want to do this you need to do some two-factor authentication and type in some number from your mobile phone and Also, this is especially relevant for merchants Are the false positives on fraud detection? So when a customer that has Money and wants to buy something in your shop, but their credit card company Things due to some heuristic maybe because you're in another country that this is a fraud and they deny the customer This really frustrates them and might drive them away from your shop So we've just seen a whole talk about Bitcoin. It's this completely unregulated payment system that kind of originates from the Crypto anarchist community and its lack of regulation is basically the main feature one thing that I personally really like about it is that it's implemented completely in free software and it's a decentralized peer-to-peer system and the problem that it solves is The Byzantine fault-tolerant agreement on this transaction ledger if we've just heard and the Creative solution that Bitcoin uses for it is that it ties the distribution of money and the creation of new nodes to Solving this consensus problem on the ledger as we just heard you need to compute a computational puzzle on the set of the new transactions that you want to commit to the ledger and then the node who finds this puzzle first gets rewarded with a mining fee But in my opinion this just results on a in a slow and very expensive banking system So I actually have numbers to support this claim This is the blockchain dot info site which just collects data and compute statistics on the publicly available blockchain so everyone can verify this data and Currently the cost for one bit coin transaction is around seven us dollars This is for one transaction. So at first it sounds like this contradicts the data that was given in the previous talk But it actually doesn't Because in this case the customer who buys something with Bitcoin pays a Relatively low fee just a few cents in us dollars but the cost for the whole system is much higher because the reward that the miners get is the Some of the individual transaction fees of the block plus this mining fee for the whole block so if you add all that together and Divided by the number of transaction in a block you actually get to this currently seven us dollars and in my opinion, this is not a way to run a Stable financial system of every single transaction costs the whole system seven dollars or sometimes up to sixteen or in good cases if you're lucky like four dollars and Also the transaction rate which is plotted here It's not really usable for really consumer transactions like here Six transactions per seconds or even only two compared to other systems like visa that handles thousands of transactions even per second and Also another indication why Bitcoin isn't really usable for the end user at all is that the current transaction value is 1,000 us dollars and this means that most people are using Bitcoin to transfer really large amounts of money, but they're not using it to buy ice cream or lunch and Another disadvantage of Bitcoin is that all transactions that you make are public and linkable back to your identity eventually and This means it's not privacy friendly at all and Some researchers have done lots of very interesting work on making Bitcoin more privacy friendly which resulted in systems like Zero cash which are really really good on the privacy aspects, but unfortunately they're even more expensive and they're even slower and The next question is our we as a society really ready for a system where we can do completely hidden bank transactions it's basically going back to the old system of cash even with Lesser fewer opportunities for regulations and I don't think that we should build on such systems So new tolerance our counter proposal to the current state of payment systems The tagline is digital cash made socially responsible Taller is actually an acronym. It stands for taxable anonymous leave for electronic reserves So for us taxable means that at least the income of merchants is visible and auditable by the government and Does it can be taxable anonymous on the other hand only applies to the customer or the citizen who? Can do payments without having to authenticate? This is not only very important for the user's privacy, but also for security reasons because this means that you Don't need to use an authentication system that has potential security issues and of course You want such a system to be practical so it should be fast and electronic and resource friendly So we don't want to do these huge proof of war calculations that eat a lot of energy and Another aspect is this Libre which means that it should be completely free and open source And this sounds minor, but in my opinion is something that's very important Because payment infrastructure is something that's so important that it should be that it should be a commons so We've heard this in a previous talk that it would be nice to have free and open source software Infrastructure that really everybody with enough technical abilities or countries organizations or in some cases even event individuals could run and review of course Unlike Bitcoin in our system. They're still government at restrictions that apply. So of course people who run it need to comply with the respective regulation and the system is designed in such a way that can be run on top of existing Legacy bank infrastructure for example in Europe sepa or you could run it on UPI in India This is the basic architecture So there's this triangle between the customer merchant and the exchange the exchange in this case is something like a payment service provider So when the customer wants to get Digital coins they send a payment from their bank account to the exchange and receive coins for it and These coins are withdrawn with a protocol that uses blind signatures So they're not any more with the customer once they're spent with the merchant So the customer sends those coins the merchant The merchant deposits those coins again at the exchange gets reimbursed for them by a normal bank transfer and the customer gets their product and in this system, of course the exchange serves as an escrow and We need to ensure that it's actually operating correctly So another component in the system is the auditor which allows governments or regulatory bodies to run completely automated audits on the database of the exchange and Verify that it didn't embezzle any funds or move any money somewhere where it shouldn't go and Now for the exciting part This is not just to we've actually implemented the system and I'm going to do the demo now But on a laptop that is not mine. So something could go wrong bear with me We go to a demo or taller.net by the way everybody here in the audience with a relatively recent version of Google Chrome can try this so the first step is to go to our wallet installation page and And Install our wallet. This should just take one click You now have to wait for the download and yeah, this button appears. This is our extension Now we can go back and now the first step is to Withdraw funds from your bank account into your wallet and for this demo, of course we need some form of example bank account. So you've implemented like a Very simple demo bank that just uses a non-existing currency called kudos instead of like euros or rupees and Let's register with P now if this bank account we have 100 kudos as a starting bonus and We can withdraw some amount from that into our wallet And Here the exchange provider gets some fees in order to pay for running the infrastructure Can accept those fees and then Here in with the normal bank you would receive like some kind of Pin tan thing where you would use second factor authentication Here we just have some step where the user needs to enter a capture and now this wheel should spin and We have our coins in our bank account in our wallet withdrawn from our bank account into the local wallet that runs in the browser and Now we can go to our site again and Go to a merchant that's actually Accepts taller payments This is a very simple store that just has a list of essays that are normally fully available But for demo purposes we offer them for a kudos payment So we click for the on them and now the wallet in a different security context prompts for confirmation with 0.1 kudos You can click confirm and Now I can read the article So this was the demo and of course our balance Decreased Okay, so what is the advantage of such system was the value for the customer as you've just seen it's very convenient It's just one click payments once you have the Balance in your wallet and it's also guaranteed payment. So once the money is in your wallet There's no fraud detection mechanism that can prevent your customers from Actually getting through the payment step Mmm, and it's secure. So unlike cash cash, you don't need to worry about counterfeit or something like that Privacy preserving so You don't even need to log in and the doesn't require any Personal information to be entered so this does away with this authentication step that is a potential security issue and By design of the system the privacy still holds Even when we are in legislations where the government mandates weakened encryption because we're using blind signatures and no encryption even if the encryption is weakened the privacy aspect still holds and as Tower is always bound to some existing currency Unlike Bitcoin, which is completely new currency. There's no additional fluctuation. So of course you still have the fluctuation that you have Yeah, okay Sorry for the interruption. Let's continue so it's always bound to some existing currency and some existing financial system and The wallet we've just seen is completely free software So there's no hidden things in there that might sell your information to some other party and other parties can verify that this functionality is correctly implemented and For the merchants as you've just seen the transactions are very fast So it's not like in Bitcoin where you need to wait ten minutes to get a transaction It's free software, which means that you have a competitive pricing and support model and The fees are quite low due to the efficient protocol that we use and the absence of fraud detection and As it's not bound to any specific currency you can do payments in any currency and with any amount and I'm So with Bitcoin in the past it has often been used for illegitimate purposes like buying drugs on tour or something and so Here we don't have the risk of Being associated with illegal businesses because due to the whole auditing that's going on it's much harder to actually use taller for illegitimate businesses like selling drugs and and From a security perspective, it's Very good for the merchant because they don't need to store or process any sensitive customer data and that makes it very easy to comply with data regular data minimization regulations like for example the recent Regulations that were passed in the EU That Legally mandate some form of data minimization And for the government as I mentioned earlier, it's free software. So it's a commons and there's no need to worry about some foreign company taking over your economy and it's of course much easier to do something against Legitimate payments that is with cash or with zero cash for example, and of course Efficient payments are always good for the economy With these automated audits, you can also ensure that the exchanges are operating correctly in an automated way and the privacy aspect means that foreign governments can Spy into your transaction system like it actually has happened in the past with Swift and the NSA espionage Okay, so now we've seen the high-level overview Let's dive a bit into the technical aspects of the system This is actually the expanded Architecture you so you can still see the basic triangle in the bottom with the customer the exchange and the merchant But now they're actually all connected to the banking system So these three banks might be in practice actually be the same bang but here just for completeness in the diagram there are different entities or The customers bang might often be actually associated with the exchange Just like in our case which makes it very very easy to withdraw cash into your wallet and Yeah, and the customers pledge into the browser and the wall extension which runs in a separate security context for the merchant you have your typical architecture some front and some order processing system and then the tower SDK which Connects to the tower back end Which is a component that? transparently implements all the cryptography and could either run on premise with a merchant or be some cloud service We have some API studies allow you to do the web integration So a very simple starting example would be detecting whether a wallet is present or not So it's just a simple JavaScript API The actual payments on a technical level are handled through HGP status code so the merchant would send a 402 payment required for the article with some URL that specifies where to get the digitally signed contract To pay for this article and the wall then acts on it So this is an example for a contract could look like you can see this is an example contract for The essay store like there's in the list of project. There's the essay that you would get So on a technical level it uses relatively proven and Well-known cryptography But of course modern instantiation for of them So it's not like in zero cash where it's very experimental protocols where people are sometimes not even sure if they actually work or not But it's very proven protocols Compared with other payment solutions One thing is that in good how you always have to be online So the merchant the exchange and the customer always have to communicate But We do a very low transaction cost and very high speed. We can Guarantee that income of merchants can be taxed and while the income of the merchant is known the payer can be anonymous and From a security perspective I mentioned that before because there's no authentication required from the users perspective It's quite secure because you're not prone anymore to things like phishing attacks where you can Accidentally enter authentication information on the wrong page And of course, it's free and open-source software so everybody can audit and deploy it So current development that we're doing is we're still improving the user interface of the wallet and some internal things we're working on the auditing for the exchange and We're writing tutorials for merchants on how to actually integrate child with their webshops and We're looking into making better marketing materials and explanations for people who are not technical in this originated from a research project and now we're trying to get more traction on the business side of it Okay, so what can you do is you can of course tell people what Tyler if you are a developer you can read the documentation and give us feedback and Maybe see how Tyler would integrate into your workshop if you're really crazy you can try to get a banking license and run an exchange in your legislation and you can always talk to us on the GNUNED IRC which is like the umbrella or sister project to Tyler and yeah talk to us on there so To conclude what are the options for the future of payment systems either we can keep using credit cards where like mass surveillance is possible and it's just controlled by a few huge US companies or We can really engage in this arms race between cryptographers and smarter surveillance and blockchain based technologies We can enjoy the in quotes benefits of cash or and this is of course the solution that we're trying to work towards really establish a free software alternatives that Balances the social goals between on the one hand enabling this taxation and on the other hand also Being privacy friendly Okay, thanks Thank you, Florian. We'll throw it up for a few questions. Can we start with one here? Just a second. We'll get to the mic Thank you Fabian. I'm Kaushik kind of the longest question I'll try to sort of make sense of it in about 15 seconds into it One of the things that caught my eye was when you said social and also taxation Typically how you do taxes is you file taxes you self ordered them You submit to the government and then there's been penalties for not being able to file them one time or not being able to File them right even with that even in spite of all that there's inconsistencies. It's how you file tax Now when you have an Orwellian system looking at your centralized surveillance system I'm guessing your taxation is automatic right because you said Yeah, I think I'm I understand where you're trying to get it. Thank you for the question So the point is we're not trying to replace any tax system We're just trying to make it harder for merchants to hide their income Of course, you would still keep the existing tax system everywhere But you as a government have a better way to actually verify the income of merchants and that they Didn't have any extra income for example with technologies like Bitcoin which make this very hard so the point is just that it's easier for Governments to know what the income of merchants is which would it not rock people of the idea of basic human Property of holding onto a property of being able to do things Having a centralized system looking to it right you how do you position yourself to sort of escape from the same kind of Fraud the cheese that I do when I file a tax off and what if I do a multi-party settlement? What if I have multiple accounts multiple remnants? You'd still not be able to catch them Would you be able to again? So the target audience for this project is more real end-user payments like on digital devices like your browser or your smartphone But also in contrast to Bitcoin We're not really trying to replace the other parts of the financial system or how things like taxation works So Tyler always rides on top of these other systems I can add a point on that. So if you look at the curve that they use It is not a transaction. So it's something that is specifically counter for So Not a transaction the UP doesn't have that right now if you look at it for instance Entirely, it's actually very well designed We'll get to the other question if you have there's some time we'll get back we can discuss this offline if you want So I have two parts one is how is international payments handled number one and What's the adoption? So for the second question This is really like moving out of a research project to establishing a business. So of course the adoption is basically zero And for the first question, this is actually one of the pain points that we haven't really solved yet so For I mean international payments are for us not really use case right now Yeah Anybody there are two questions at the back there and then I'll come to you. Can you send money to peers using taller? Yes, there are two ways to do this one of them if it's like your friend or your wife and you really trust them You could just cheer coins out of your wallet First this doesn't constitute a transaction because you need to trust the sender that they really deleted the coins out of their wallets And will not spend them before you get the chance to so these things are of course not taxable Just like if I share my complete bank account details with you then you can make a transaction on my behalf without that being visible in the system and What was the second part of your question? I think that was that was just the one part of the question There's another question. I mean it's a kind of continuation of this question because you did mention limitation Is that when you want to transfer money to friends and family? Why can't we incorporate that as a feature that you know, I'm transferring money to my wife So you kind of incorporate addition feature that it's you know, I know to whom I'm transferring Okay, but the my second question is on the blockchain part I'm always having doubts or you said it's proof of stick or proof of work proof of work Yeah, but proof of work isn't that a problem? I don't know how many nodes are there in India who's doing proof of work kind of stuff And if all the nodes that are like centralized in one country won't that kind of Breakdown the whole blockchain technology. Yeah, I mean I was basically arguing against the blockchain. So So if that didn't come through with the presentation, but we're not relying on a blockchain technology This was basically just a critique of blockchain Yeah, there was a question Can you shed some more light on How exactly the blind signatures work more on the privacy of the client who's trying to pay money to the margin So we use some additional things on top of blind signature, but basically how it works is you create a Serial number for your coin you do some cryptographic Computation in order to blind this you then send it to the exchange They will sign it and say that has a value return it to you and then you can unblind it So it's a cryptographic protocol that allows some party to give exactly one signature and Only one signature because otherwise you could create like an infinite supply of coins But on some data, we don't know what their data is. So you then have a just like a signed bank note, but the Bank only knows that signed one bank not not what the serial number is Yeah, any So where is the required of these clients kept This is kept in the exchange so we can go back to the architecture diagram. So in fact there's not one central exchange, but people who have the required licenses in their legislation can run an exchange and There needs to be some trust between merchants and exchange and customer and that is established by this auditing party that certifies certifies that this exchange is running correctly and is allowed to Operate in the legislation that this auditor is responsible for so in real world. What kind of company would be an exchange? For example banks, so this would be the most obvious way to just Have a bank run as an exchange We have any further questions No, okay, since we have a few minutes more if anybody has questions we make if you could take Some more questions for say both the week and Florian We could have those as well. We could have a discussion on the relative merits of blockchain versus dollar Yeah Just mentioned who you specifically for this is for week. Okay, so Isn't it ironic in India that? Bitcoin or blockchain is an open network It's an open source network and government does not have any regulations on top of it But whatever exchanges are there in India requires the KYC from anyone who is trying to buy or sell bitcoins We need to follow with Can you hear me? Yeah, we need to follow with the Compliance procedures in India because when we are touching Fiat that is where the actual We need to abide the rules and regulations of the Indian government If you are purely using Bitcoin for all your transactions and Because there is currently still no regulation that's being put out By RBI or any government entity as such on Bitcoin There's just a warning to be very careful about using Bitcoin because it's very new That way it's like very hard to comment on the specific question that you asked Yeah, there's a question This is just to build on what we make say most of the KYC is Brought on by the exchanges to protect themselves It's not a it's not mandatory right now for them to do KYC as well It's basically they're protecting themselves so that you know in case there is a regulation that comes in It is easier for them to just make sure that this is the trail and we're not doing something illegal So that's just a protection mechanism employed by Exchanges right now It's not compulsory to add to it in terms of Regulations in other parts of the world that are being Implemented on Bitcoin US basically takes the lead in any kind of a technological innovation and They already have a license that says bit license and a lot of exchanges Continue to operate in US are fully compliant with the US bit license, which has been a regulatory Framework issued for Bitcoin some of them however decided to move out of US just because they found that the Regulations or the norm set out for Bitcoin exchanges were a bit too much so it's it depends on the use cases and how governments want to Be open to this technology Yeah, there was a question at the back that yeah, my question is for Florian I Work for raise a pay which is a payments company So what we do is we build technology on Banks and wallets on merchants we have so that they can easily accept payments. How would such a company fit into the talent ecosystem? I mean one way with One path I could imagine is just them using taller as the infrastructure with Their custom wallets on top of it So that gives them those added privacy and security benefits that taller has and also the benefit of being part of a Common free and open software infrastructure With their customizations added on top Yeah, any further questions. Yeah, there's one here. Thank you The question about taller sorry if I missed this so does a customer actually choose what exchange he deals with or is that completely? hidden from the Customs himself and there are actually multiple exchanges and not just a single exchange Then how do they kind of sync up and make sure, you know, the balance is same everywhere So per defaults every currency has in the wallet a default exchange But the user is actually free to change that and choose another exchange. So per default, of course, we Don't want the user to have to select one But if they really care about that they can do so that we can establish this ecosystem of exchanges and If I do change my exchange after say five transactions, how does that? How do the two exchanges make sure they're in sync? Right now, this is this is kind of the same issue as for international payments at least right now We don't have any way to do this without Transferring back the coins into your normal bank account and just getting a Wallet balance at another exchange Any further questions No, sorry, this is so very good. Do we have any statistics of Where are most of the where is the most of the mining being done today or where are the biggest miners? China basically owns almost 42 30% of the Bitcoin mining ecosystem because Chinese government decided They are actually missing out on technology and it's always like the Catmouse race. So what happens is initially when Bitcoin was started off the US was more pro saw the biggest growth for Bitcoin and then came the European market and China basically immediately that actually tried to ban Bitcoin at one point. They did impose a actual legal ban on Bitcoin but due to the Revolve from the community the citizens of China and also a lot of other factors the economic Factors Chinese government realized that they are actually missing out on something big as big as the internet It's like India not being able to get a sufficient IP addresses IPv4 and We are we hopefully have enough in IPv6 So it's like a technology thing and everyone needs to get on board of that technology There's one more question Just to build on what we've excited China there are two parts to Bitcoin mining, which is one is the computing power which requires Mining power, right? So second is the electricity cost to run the miners So China in both cases has the lowest cost When it comes to buying technology for mining and also the electricity cost is really really low So that is why Bitcoin mining is actually more profitable to do in China than in other countries We have any for the last questions Okay, so I think we can wrap up this discussion. Thank you Vivek and thank you Florian. Please give him a round of applause


Hi everyone, I'm so happy here to bring our story, how can bring the data locality to our intensive workloads on the COVID-19 environment. My name is Shou Weichen, I'm the co-maintenant of the electric project, and at the same time I also make the roadmap for the open source industry. First of all, I want to address what is the challenge actually we saw in the COVID-19 environment, and nowadays like people almost devote everything to the COVID-19 environment, no matter it's a state-less application, even state-of-the-art application. Because so many different things deployed in the COVID-19 environment, we saw some common pitfalls we observed here. The first of all is more and more data has been generated and data has been stored in silos. For example, you deploy the COVID-19 in the cloud environment, at the same time you have the good native in-home promise data center, and make you copy and manage data all over the place. It's very costly, you have to do the aeroplane and it costs the delays for your users to consume this kind of data. And the second problem is the different teams need access to this data, it's a lot of trouble there. There's a new needs to support the new application and corresponding different interface to access the data, because we will have so many people cooperate on the COVID-19 access plan. Each of the integration of each of them requires times and a lot of effort to optimize for till you can go to the production. And on top of that, our tech industry is progressing very fast, which has been creating new compute and storage technology every three to eight years, which means with this kind of innovation in the cloud and the COVID-19 environment, the adoption of the hybrid or multi-cloud, the data stack has to adapt based on multiple environment. You can see you can have like a different compute, the AI, the big data analytics, and there's storage, object store and the cloud storage, all this kind of thing new and so it's very complex to manage all of them. So with those demands in mind, where I introduce a new layer between the compute engine and the storage system and in the COVID-19 environment, this new layer provides a complete virtualization across all data source to serve data to application who do not need to care about the location of the data. So you just need to consume the data instead of you have to worry about where should I put the data, when should I move the data, and where should I copy the data. The solution we have built is application or across environment, whether in the cloud or on-premise environment, it's mainly like anywhere you want to deploy your cluster with Kubernetes, or we can help you to build your data locality there. Just to give a very simple architecture here, this is the part of the architecture of the actual in the Kubernetes environment. We can mount into the volume with all fields interface at the same time or also can provide the cluster that will locality with the actual worker must in your Kubernetes environment together with your compute. So with bring the metadata locality and the data locality into your Kubernetes environment, actually you can get a much better performance with this kind of locality. And at the same time, we provide the square for you to install your actual in your Kubernetes environment. The first of all we provide is a home chart, and at the same time, we also have the operator there if you really want to do the maintenance and operate for your Kubernetes environment with our actual system. Because of time limitation, we cannot go through very detailed use cases here, but feel free to scan this QR code if you're really interested in the actual system. And you can understand what is the big analytic use cases you're seeing together with AI machine use cases and how you can do the fast data line lake and the fast AI machine in large scale training with your system in the Kubernetes environment. And also feel free to join our Slack channel and we are very active there and have to answer any kind of this kind of question.


Hey, this is Christian Buckley doing another MVP buzz chat and I'm talking today with Amanda. Hello. Hello. Thanks for having me. It's great to have you.  Okay, so my name is Amanda Steiner, and I was going to say Office Apps, but it's not called it. It's M365 Apps and Services MVP, and I do mostly marks of teams, but you mean it's part of the whole M365 ecosystem? So I do, usually I say, to my friends and family customers, everything besides coding. I like to try a little bit of everything and yeah, a mix. And I'm from Stockholm, Sweden, so a few hours away from Christian. Yeah, a few hours. I love Stockholm and as I saw one of my kids is fluent in Swedish, so every once in a while I have him say something. Yeah, he lived over there for a couple years, so but yeah, he was over in the, see he didn't get as far south as Malmö. He was started in, now I can't remember the name, but he's over on the western side of the country. Maybe like Gothenburg? Gothenburg? I think so, yes, yes. Yeah. So and he moved around a little bit, but yeah it's, what I love is that his experience is first, he's first apartment over there, and we'd always joke because he was learning the language here, like we need to go hang out at Ikea and we'd kind of laugh about it. His first apartment, the view out of his window was across the road was in Ikea, so. I mean Ikea, it's a suite, we're born with it, and yeah. Well it's an institution here, so and it's like Costco has their hot dogs, Ikea has their meatballs, and. We just got Costco to Sweden, so I have to try that. Well you gotta go do the hot dog and soda, I mean here it's a buck fifty, so it's like you can't beat it for cheap filling lunch, but. I have to try it. Yeah, well so tell me a little bit about, so you focused on teams, kind of what's your role, what's your day job? My day job is, like I said, I mean I get bored if I had like one specific role, so I tend to do all different kinds of pieces, so if my current project I'm doing like training, messages program, but I'm also right now working with how you should work with apps in M365, like how you should order them, and like the governance part, and so I want to do a little bit of everything. That, hey I'm the same way, there's a benefit of, you know, when you ask somebody about, you know, M365 apps and services, MVPs, we are striped across all of those areas, and so you can have somebody who might be an outlook, or a PowerPoint MVP, or a SharePoint MVP, and you have others that, like I'm a collaboration technology expert, like that's my background for most of my career, and that stripes across several different products, several different workloads. Yeah, just having a platform that can make your day-to-day job and life easier, and like one million different kind of ways it can help you, and I like that. Yep, I love that too. Well, so what was your path to becoming an MVP? My path to becoming an MVP started when I started working a few years ago, and I had my boss, he was an MVP, and I thought he was amazing, he was so inspiring, he was that kind of person, and still is, we haven't been working with each other for a couple of years. Super talented, he, it felt like he knew everything, but he always had time to help, and that really inspired me, people that are, that want to help each other, even though that they probably like don't have time, because they're like everywhere and doing so many different things. So that inspired me back then, but it felt really hard to come me as a, like fresh in my career to a product share point that, I mean, people have been working with it since forever, what was I going to come in and do with that. So I post that, post the idea of like starting blogging and trying to do those kind of things, and then Microsoft Teams came, and I felt perfect. Now I have a fresh new product, everybody asks, this is fresh as me, and let's try blogging, because I mean, I like blogging, I like blogging, and that's how I started. So I started just to blog for normal people doing normal Teams things, and yeah, at the moment, I felt there was a lot of blogs and like very good content out there, but it felt like a lot of it was really like IT pro focused and not the ordinary user doing ordinary user stuff. So that's, that's where it started back in, it sounds like it was like one million years ago, but it was in 2018, I think, or 19. So not that long ago. We have a pandemic year, so it's kind of like dog years, you know, it's much longer. But that's great, I mean, when I became an MVP back in January of 2012, I mean, one of the things that there was, it was kind of a thing that there were now a handful of us that were non-technical MVPs. Now I've been working in technology my entire career for over 30 years, but always in project management, business analysts, operations management roles, but always in technology organizations. Two degrees in marketing and never really was in a marketing role was always in these technical roles. But it was because I saw the same gap in content in speakers at events. Now you see many more of us that are end user and power user focus that are still not IT pro admin focused that are, you know, so a lot of the productivity tips that I write about are things that I found something that I use in my own day to day. And this is a great thing. Everybody should come and take a look at it. Are there other, like I just, I just did this the last couple weeks, two or three posts on productivity tips. I had somebody reach out and it's like, yeah, that's been out there for a while. I said, well, I know, but I just found it. Exactly. Exactly. And a lot of other people are like, this is great and re-sharing it. Same thing, like we just found it, you know, but then it's my perspective. My, here's the scenarios where I found it useful. So that is, that's valid content to have out there. Yeah. Yeah. And I really liked that. That's, I mean, I learned new things every day, even from my customers as well. Like last week, I learned about this quick mute button in like teams meeting when you did and you press the control middle. I didn't know about that. I mean, I, I learned new things every day as well. And that's, that's amazing that no one is 100% known as well. We can always learn from each other. Yep. Well, and there's, the other aspects too is that, you know, there's so much content that's out there. The answer is not, hey, we need to have less people writing. No, we need better filters. We need better, you know, but, but you look around within the community, find trusted voices. And there's people who are in your industry that have similar likes and dislikes and things that are out there that you might appreciate their blog post on that same topic that you wrote. I might have written about the same thing. So yeah, we need more content and then people need to spend more time kind of filtering through and finding the things that they like and are comfortable with and yeah. Sometimes when like, when I talk to people and I've had the same feelings that where should I blog when there are so many bloggers, but there's always room for more because everybody has a different voice. And I think there's always room for people putting out content. And I mean, I blog, I don't know, 50, 50, but a lot of, a big reason is because I want to remember what I'm doing and like inviting while I'm testing and That's something I read an article, wow, more than 15 years ago, trying to think I might have, but it was a Microsoft researcher and he was working with Stanford University. I think he was based out of San Francisco. So somewhere out of the San Francisco Bay Area. It was an older gentleman. He was like in his 70s, I think, but writing about how he was capturing everything that he did in storing, I mean, every month petabytes of information. He had cameras, it was capturing like physical documents that he's working on as well as everything digital. And it was he was studying like the human brain and how much you retain and lose. And I just was inspired by that article and being in the collaboration technology space and information management and capturing all this information. And kind of the early days of some of the machine learning and AI capabilities with the with the web. So this is early 2000s. And I started, you know, so I started my blog in 2004, this one, I think in February of 2004. And it was exactly what you described. It was more for me just to retain like what was I working on? What were my thoughts on those things? Then I started using OneNote doing it the same way. I blog and capture and share things. But it was much about me working through a problem or working through an idea and then sharing that out there, but then in capturing everything else. So it's like an extension of my brain. Yeah, but it's really, it's really cool. And I very often read other people's blog posts and get like inspired, like, oh, I want to try that. And I want to like test it my own way and just creativity feeds creativity. Yeah. Well, innovation feeds innovation. Yeah. So it usually like great ideas don't just like spark like, hey, I have nothing and suddenly had this brilliant idea. It's usually it's an iterative process. That's why I love collaboration technology. You and I might be working on it. And what we come up with having work together will be different than what either one of us might have come up with on our own. Yeah. I use sometimes I say like super super cheesy code to know no person is an island. So I mean, we work together, things become better. Exactly. Well, I'm sure you've had people that have come up to you and asked about, you know, like recommendations for if they're interested in becoming an MVP. What's your guidance for somebody that is interested in investigating the program? Yeah, I think like, like I said, I started my blog. And in the beginning, I was a really good blogger blogged a lot. Now I blog very seldom. I need to get like inspiration and then I write something. But I think starting becoming active in the community, like it easily sucks you into a lot of different things. So I started my blog. And I contacted another Swedish MVP who he was the first like teams MVP in Sweden. And I said, Hey, like, how does this work? Let's let's do some things. And he started to invite me to things. And like my community grew bigger. And just when you start doing community activities, you will get sucked into a lot of different things.  Everything should be fun. So start start doing something that you enjoy for Microsoft technology. And if you enjoy it, it will just it will just follow along. It feels like I'm going to remember that my next conversation with my manager be like, you know what, this is not as fun as I thought. I'd like to do this. Yeah, I actually sometimes say that at my like, at my clients, but not not every time, but sometimes, but I think that's really important for like being an MVP and doing this because it takes a lot of time and it should only be fun. I try to try not to do things just because I only do things that I that I enjoy because I mean, otherwise I could spend time with my family instead of my like internet buddy. Yeah, but it I mean, look, everybody has hobbies and sometimes they're in in the you know, the house sometimes they're out of the house. But it should be things that you enjoy doing. And so I just had this conversation yesterday with somebody talking to this exact same thing. It's it's like I like I blogging is a hobby for me and creating videos. I do AMAs. I know that that kind of stuff is just it's what I enjoy doing. If my we're empty nesters, if my wife is is gone, it's just me and the dog here on a Saturday and I'm I'm like what I'm going to do for the next couple hours and I'm I think about technology and I'm reading up on things and right jotting down my thoughts about things. It's become it's my hobby to go and do those things on the community side, because like, like most MVPs of like, I'm not doing it during working hours. It's well, actually, I am recording this during work hours right now. But besides, but it's so hard. So hard to like explain to friends that like don't work with tech at all. Like I I run a conference with a couple of community buddies, about Microsoft Teams, of course. And and and they're like, yeah, so it's for work. I'm like, no, it's it's what I work with. But it's not for work. It's on my free time. But I work with the same thing. And they had like a really hard time to understand like, so why are you putting a lot of time into it's not your work, but you work with it. But you find it fun. Like, yeah, it's yeah, I enjoy it. Yeah. Again, that's kind of the profile of of MVPs. It's that there's a I also describe it as like I for many years was a runner and that runner's high. And you get a very similar experience that runners high off of helping other people solve problems, directing them to useful technology, putting together same thing, I've organized many events and getting ready. We're starting our planning for our collab days event in February again. So the planning is underway. Yeah, so always a lot to do a lot of opportunity that's out there. And you need to find people who are you need to be passionate about, you know, one or more technology areas to kind of do this. But it is fun.  I met so many great people and people that like share share the same interest that I don't share with other friends. And it's it's nice. It's nice to get into know people online.  There's a yeah, there's a lot of people where you you look at their Twitter profile and you'd be like, did we have we met or something? No, I've just seen your face on your Twitter profile for years.  I just had that experience in June, people that I felt like I knew I was over in the UK in June. And no, it was these some of these people was the first time I'd ever seen them in person. But it's super weird. It's super weird.  But maybe maybe I'm just reading their posts and liking and they have no idea who I am. So it's just it's it's really weird. But it's nice. It's always nice putting an actual face behind a stalker on, you know, social. But well, Amanda, really appreciate your time and getting to know you for these few minutes. But for folks that want to get in touch and find you, what are the best ways to reach you? I think the best ways to reach me is Twitter, maybe not LinkedIn, but I am at LinkedIn and I post there sometimes on my blog. So we'll have the links, of course, to your blog and those resources out on the blog posted on the YouTube description as well. And hopefully, are you at ESPC next month or yeah, I'll see you there to be my my like first three session, the post pandemic. So that would be exciting me and Carolina Katka, my Finnish lovely MVP friend, we're doing a session together. So that would be really fun. That's exciting. Well, I'll see you there. I'll be there and I'm part of the community reporters as well. So I think I'll be in the expo hall in the community reporter booth much of the week. But I'll see you out there. Oh, then see you in Copenhagen in a couple of weeks.


Well back with the breakfast and plus CV Africa just quickly would be looking at the issue of global recycling which is an international you know day and awareness we have a guest joining us this morning for like a salau coordinator of green recovery Nigeria right here in Lagos for like it's good to have you join us this morning thank you so much thank you for having me yes please so we know that you know on the 18th of March it's been mapped out as an annual event and it's start the global recycling day which is like I mentioned with the aim of spreading awareness about the rapid pace at which natural resources are depleting and the need for recycling it you know to slowing it down or slowing all the hazard that probably might just be happening to the environment I like you to quickly share your thoughts on this juxtaposing that with the fact that you know just a tiny fraction of waste is recycled in Nigeria for a country where you have over 200 million plus consumers yes really recycling is a sustainable way of reducing waste the most common one that we are all familiar with is a plastic waste so the more we are able to reduce the plastic waste in the environment by recycling them into more useful products the better for the environment the better for everyone and even the aesthetics you know when you see this plastic waste lying on our beaches lying everywhere and the drainage is causing flooding you'll appreciate the importance of recycling this waste you know to ensure that actually they don't get to the dump site they don't get to where our oceans they don't get to the drainages and we make good use of them by saving more natural resources that will otherwise constitute a new sense to the environment okay but also and what ways can we can we people you know jump on the recycling train I mean for people who have who generate waste on a daily basis you know in Nigeria it's a different ball game so how is it possible for the average man or woman on the street to to recycle their waste and how can we do that okay so practically it's not it's not easy for individuals to do the recycling themselves because it involves some industrial processes but at individual level we can learn to sort our waste there are people who collect plastic waste from households from collection centers and then aggregate them for people who will eventually process this plastic waste or any other waste the case maybe it's not only plastic for instance we also have a wood waste that can also be processed into reusable particle boards and some other useful product so what we should be advocating for is waste selection separation at household level where people separate their recyclable waste from the general waste so that people who collect this waste for recycling will be able to easily pick them up as separated waste and then take them to where they can be recycled and then there are a lot of there is a recycling association in in Nigeria and they have what they call the collectors those are people who pick them either from dump sites or households and then they have who they those that they call the aggregators like the collection centers where these people take them to and then from the aggregators then it goes into those who take them for for processing so at individual level we should be looking at awareness to encourage people to separate their waste and it's not just separating the waste it's also there's monetary involvement because people who collect this waste product also pay tokens for the waste so we need to just create the necessary awareness for people to know that there is wealth in the waste that they are generating and not everything should end up in their waste bins they should separate those that can be recycled from those that cannot be recycled so but let's talk about the awareness and you know the structure do you think that as a country we have done enough in terms of awareness and creating structures to ensure that we're recycling no I don't think we've done enough awareness like in most in western wars for instance it's for every household you have different type of bins for different types of waste we've not gotten to that stage in Nigeria and I think there's need for policy to ensure that at household level you have different waste collection bins for different purposes with the ultimate aim to encourage recycling give people oh this color couldn't be maybe blue for for plastic waste maybe green for bottles and something like that that is known by everyone and then helps everyone to be able to partake actively in waste separation from household level before it gets to the the dump site so I think we need to do a lot of awareness creation on this but with necessary policies to ensure that it's not just an obligation that people are compelled to separate their waste from household level so it's all about the right policies and a lot of awareness creation from the government agencies all right very very important one thank you very much for your time madam as the world is marking recycling day you've given us some information that I'm sure we put to to use we'll make our world a better day especially in these days of going green and we look forward to having you in subsequent discussions as we look at the issue of environmental awareness sustainability and all that for like for lakesh salaw is a coordinator of green recovery nigeria and she's been a guest on a second discussion right here on the breakfast thank you madam for your time thank you for having me well that's the size of our conversation this morning on the breakfast we really appreciate the fact that you've been with us 70 am up until this point let's return tomorrow and do the same time that's all right to join the conversation if you missed that on any part of it we're on facebook twitter and instagram and you can subscribe to our youtube channel at plus tv africa and on the other hand plus tv africa lifestyle my name is messi bopo to have a great morning it's been been quite a very heated one today very the issues of the country are seriously seriously uh uh tough you know to handle and we look forward to seeing the process run its full cost and you can be sure uh that we have plus we have cow always translate the passion that is felt out there and bring it to the studio so that you can we can give the best program my name is kofi buttles thank you very much for your time we'll return tomorrow


We must understand, first of all grading everything by economic standards is a serious mistake. If you grade everything by economic standards, how much can you earn, how much can you provide? If this is the only standard of well-being, then believe me, you may have women in the world, but you will kill the feminine totally. It's very important. Today, today it is becoming like this, if you want to be successful in the world, a woman should act like a man. This is complete surrender. This is slavery of the worst kind. It's very important we have feminine in equal proportions as masculinity to make this world beautiful and our lives beautiful.   Your home will become a market. This is happening in the western societies. When they're getting married, they're making a contract. When we divorce, who gets what? I'm saying what… how much ugliness do you want in your life? How can two people be woven into one? If we are calculating, when we're getting married itself, we're calculating. When we part, you will get the car, I will get the house. How do you live like this?  So don't take the marketplace home.
