The Markovian master equation provides an approximate tool for describing open quantum systems, but it often fails to respect thermodynamics without a secular approximation. We introduce a new equation that is thermodynamically consistent and accurate when memory effects can be neglected by rescaling the Hamiltonian for bookkeeping and exploiting the limited resolution of heat in a Markovian description. This enables a thermodynamically consistent description of various systems where the secular approximation fails.

Welcome traders to another tickmail chart with me Patrick Munley. Once you draw your attention to a potential reversal zone in the Australian dollar, you can see the similarities in terms of recent price action versus the price action we saw during September. And what I'm looking for is a pop above this consolidation zone to test the monthly R3, the weekly R3 and predicted weekly range resistance at the 74.30 which also coincides with prior highs at the 74.13. So I'm looking for a test 74.10, 74.40 zone, watching for bearish reversal patterns to set short positions, targeting a retest of ascending trend channel support at the 71 level. What adds further credence to this setup is the significant momentum divergence. As always, traders plan the trade, trade the plan, most importantly manage your risk. Until next time, thanks very much.


I get political. I don't like war at all and make it political. Yeah, maybe an inconvenient truth that you don't like gore, but I'm enjoying coffee today in my it's a frappe mug.

Oh, you're not great Yeah, the Pesh mode and the Smiths are not emo For sure are no, they're not it's a blogger Later after the show going to talk technology news here We are we are saving the Facebook stuff till the end because I don't know that there's really anything super crazy There's a couple things to talk about but let's start with a few tech things you should know Spotify announced its premium members can now add Hulu as a bundle which raises the price from 999 a month to 1299 a month Also sources till Bloomberg Spotify is working on a new version of its free music service for a mobile the updated version Supposedly can access playlists more quickly and gives more control over songs people hear Spotify has a press event scheduled for April 24 The US FDA has approved an AI powered device that can be used by non specialists to detect Diabetic retinopathy in adults with diabetes the most common cause of vision loss the IDX DR software Analyzes images of your eye taken with a topcon NW 400 camera which can be used in pretty much any doctor's office eyes are good We should take care of them a jury in the US district court for the eastern district of Texas awarded Vernet X holding company holding corporate rather 502.6 Million dollars us from Apple for violations of four patents pertaining to secure communications in FaceTime VPN and demand and I message or VPN on-demand and I message however The patents at issue have been declared invalid in cases That are currently before the US court of appeals for the federal circuit in washington When those trials and the jury award Awards may be just invalidated The verge notes that email sent to g-suite administrator says google is planning a redesign of the gmail web interface in the coming weeks Members of its early access program can get it pretty soon The new design will include smart reply email snoozing and offline support things that have Been available in some of the apps like inbox from google now coming to the web Let's talk a little bit more about a strange piece of malware. This is very odd Malware hunter team reported pubg ransomware is making the rounds if you haven't seen this yet This is what it works like like most ransomware if you get infected encrypts your files That's a huge bummer, but unlike most ransomware. It doesn't want your money or even your bitcoins After it has encrypted your files. It shows a pop-up asking you to play pubg That's player unknowns battlegrounds for those uninitiated. It's first person shooter game For one hour to decrypt them you have to play pubg for one hour to decrypt them Now if you don't feel like playing pubg for an hour It also gives you the key to restore your files immediately In 2017 malware hunter team found resinware, which required you to play th12 and score 0.2 billion points In order to recover your files It's an odd thing and a lot of people are playing playing pubg anyway So maybe this makes no difference to anybody. I was gonna say is this an anti fortnite Sort of situation where someone's like let's get people playing pubg again by encrypting all of their files and forcing them Except not forcing them Which honestly is like in pubg. That's probably Two rounds of the game. It's really not that much work to do that for an hour and it's a lot of fun So I don't see where the downside is other than I don't like the idea that anybody has ransomware at my files. I mean, that's yeah That would be the downside, right What's not to like It's very odd though. It feels like the most trolley ransomware we've had in a long time where it's not about the money It's not about the bitcoins. It's not about Zombying up your computer. Although who knows? Uh, it's about making you play a video game and I've never apparently it says you have to play it for an hour But you only have to play for like three seconds before it starts Decrypting the files.  You don't have to play pubg. It gives you the key right on the pop-up. It's just unnecessary Uh, but it seems to be somebody who's really a fan of pubg. I guess that I hear here's what I think They're actually doing. I think it's brand is If they're doing this so that they're just testing to see who will fall for this Maybe they're working on something bigger more nasty Okay, maybe Uber is partnering with get around to let car owners rent their vehicles in a feature called uber rent starting in san francisco This month uber is also partnering with masabi to offer the ability to purchase public transportation tickets in 30 locations worldwide Including la new york, london and boston uber also announced the expansion of uber bike into Washington dc and plans to share data with government and civic agencies there Now this seems this is a big change this last thing you just said which is uber cooperating with government That's something we've seen lyft do but under travis callanik It was something uber did the opposite of quite often coser shahi the new ceo of uber seems to be not only Uh looking at uber more as a transportation solution in general But also willing to like play nice with localities, which i think is a smarter maneuver for him I also think that if you've got a car sitting around This is kind of cool, you know like a lot of people i know are using Ride sharing and and these kinds of things more often mostly lyft around here people really like lyft But uh the idea of you having something in the garage that's sort of just collecting dust But you're saving gas by not using it. It's there for emergencies or whatever The idea that you could Rent that thing out and actually get some value out of that or some money out of that is a really interesting turn I would have not seen this coming I actually tried to rent my car and get around uh recently because I work from home and I don't really drive, you know days go by where I don't Be right out to your car.  Oh, that's cool Yeah, because this is not I mean this has been going on for several years now There have been several companies besides get around that have been doing exactly this scott This isn't new what's new is uber putting their uber muscle behind it. Yeah, I like I like the flexing of the uber muscle Um, but I didn't know this was a thing until I until I saw this article today I didn't know I could ever have done this now if you say scott are you going to go do it tomorrow Like now that you know, will you do it? I don't know. There's also something kind of weird about this Like I don't know why I may be getting older something but the idea if somebody Have an access to my console in the middle and there's like, I don't know I think it puts something weird in the dvd or the uh The cd player are they gonna rifle through my glove box? Yeah, the bluetooth is going to be all messed up and you get back in the car My channels are going to be all messed up. They're going to change all my radio channels My preset we know many of you have worked for rental car companies before send us your stories Of why you would or would not write your own car out Yeah All right, the united states f tc sent warning letters to six companies who market and sell automobiles Cellular devices and video gaming systems. Those are the f tc's words by the way The letters addressed concerns about the companies telling consumers that they must use specified parts or service providers to keep their warranties intact Here's a quote from the letter Unless warrantors that's the people making the devices unless warrantors provide the parts or service for free Or receive a waiver from the f tc such statements generally are prohibited by the magnus and moss warranty act of 1975 in other words That warning sticker on your device that says you'll break the warranty if you remove it and and get inside your device Is not enforceable according to the f tc companies that have been contacted at 30 days to update their websites and comply with the law Whoa, all right. So The supply to mattresses and those tags No, the tags thing is a whole different thing that was for the shipper like they're not allowed to take the tag off until You can take it off once you get your mattress. That's always been misunderstood. All right fair enough, but uh, all right So somebody gets a lot of electronics. I have consoles I have the switch over here. It's got a little thing on it says if I go inside of this switch I'm voiding the warranty that nintendo would otherwise offer me or offer me Can I take this as now the New law the standard not the new law, but the standard as to which I should interpret these things And I'm okay to crack that thing open and do what I want Yeah, if you're in the u.s. All right What can I open first Well, you don't forget like if you break something that will still void your warranty There are other ways to void your warranty But what the f tc is saying is you can't just put a sticker on something and tell people You have to fix this through us or lose your warranty if a a competent person opens up a machine And replaces something and doesn't break anything that shouldn't void the warranty and the f tc is saying That that's true for video game systems and cellular devices which It's always been something I think of 15 dollars or more of value But people debated whether consumer electronic devices fell under the magnuson Act or not the magnuson moss act or not The f tc is clarifying they're saying yeah these things fall under the magnuson moss act We we're interpreting it that way today. So you sony nintendo apple You can't force people to come to you for parts and service. They're not and and this is not To be confused with the law that's being proposed that would force companies to provide parts at an affordable cost Which is something that's done for appliances. This just says you can't force people to Avoid their warranty by doing competent repairs themselves Makes sense. Sarah. What are you going to crack open and take into a third party repair center? zero things Well, and I I think this is something that a lot more people yell about than we'll use right I'm not saying it's a bad thing But a lot of people have been clamoring for this and making a big deal about it making their cause celeb Building their name on it and now that it's a little more clarified I guess they could start clamoring for even more like and parts parts should be made available more more equally Uh, which is which is another problem But if you take it down to the you know, there's a shop over here in my neighborhood that repairs game consoles and phones and stuff Uh, and one time I went to sell an xbox and he's like um stickers been removed I I can't resell it really because it's because it's out of warranty And and now he would feel more comfortable buying something like that because the warranty isn't necessarily violated. Oh Well, that's interesting. I mean if it does feel like um I wouldn't call this a loosening of the rules But a bit of an understanding of these rules is always a good thing And again, it only applies to us here in the in the u.s. But I I like it when there's clarification for what I'm able to do or not do and Lord knows there's not a lot of that these days. So I welcome it Facebook confirmed that approximately 1500 users gave professor alexandra kogan's personality test app permission to access their messages inbox Kogan later improperly shared data. He collected in the app with cambridge analytica Facebook stopped allowing users to give permission to access messages in 2015 I like the way you phrased that there Uh, because most of the phrasing is facebook gave away messages to cambridge analytica 1500 people and and yes Uh, we've gone through this a million times. Uh, facebook certainly did things that didn't stop this and and there's some questions about You know, how hard they really tried to stop it But it was kogan who gave the data away and it was people who agreed to share their messages I don't think I and correct me if i'm wrong people, but I don't think sharing your messages content was default I think you had to go in and actively say, yeah, I'll I'll share my messages with apps. That's fine Right, I think you had to agree to that. It may have been a default checkbox when you installed the app I don't know, uh, but uh 1500 people implies that it wasn't default I think it would be a lot more so these are people who decided made an active decision like man I'm gonna let this thing access my messages Yep, um of all the facebook stuff that's been going around the couple last couple of days these two sessions or anything Honestly, and I've been listening to daily tech news show I feel like this is maybe the the one thing that even jumps out at me is significant or interesting Like it's been a whole lot of And I know you guys have talked about that and we don't have to talk about it that much more But I'm not getting a lot of substantive stuff that I was hoping to get out of it Like maybe a I don't know a better view of how they see our data versus how we might see our data It all seems to have just come down to well We've been running this way for a long time and nobody was really paying attention Including users who just sort of willy-nilly accept people or apps that say sure sure It's just well and also, you know This was a story that we talked about yesterday the idea of the dating data breach bounty program. It's like You know at facebook is like we're going to give you money if you, you know Bring something to our attention that we are not uh, you know aware of Where does this fall? Well, yeah, this this falls no different than any other Cambridge Analytica thing all this is is is saying oh Another thing that was shared with kogan that kogan then shared with Analytica were these messages So if you if you if if this program had been going on in 2015 and someone had discovered this This doesn't change that Facebook CEO mark zuckerberg spent his second day of testimony in front of the u.s. House tuesday or i'm sorry wednesday Zuckerberg has been questioned on facebook's handling of user data. It's effect on us elections It's advertising business model monopolistic traits The new stuff since we last talked about this yesterday zuckerberg told the house committee His own data was included in the data sold to malicious third parties We'd pretty much meant Cambridge Analytica Zuckerberg also admitted facebook collects data on non-users as a security measure According to him to prevent malicious actors from repeatedly accessing facebook to harvest public information This is a practice often called shadow profiles That could let facebook also make accurate friend suggestions to new users as well Although zuckerberg didn't say that part in testimony It is the first public comment on the practice by facebook So to my mind, this is the only significant thing to come out of today's testimony was zuckerberg on the record to the house saying Yes, we do this thing that gizmodo has been reporting about for two years And it's the first time anyone connected with facebook officially has said that Shadow profiles. That's nice and dark. Isn't it? I like that Well, he did he actually very clearly was like, I don't know what shadow profiles means when when the house Representative used that word because yeah, he doesn't like the sound of that but also Companies track non-users all the time. So this is just what facebook does with that information The fact that he didn't cop to the fact that like hey, we also use it when new users sign up is kind of shady to me Yeah, well, they're done after today, right? Just two days or is there more to this? That's it. That's it for now. Um You know, we'll see if Far as we know. Yeah, let's see if he gets called back Hey folks, if you want to get all the tech headlines each day in about five minutes subscribe to daily tech headlines You're it's available as an amazon echo flash briefing google home on the anchor app or a daily tech headlines dot com So sarah, uh, we got a couple of stories today about api is getting cut off. We do okay, so Okay, so let's let's we'll start at the beginning api changes will break Something that tweetbot and twitterrific. I I happen to be a user of tweetbot. So this actually makes Is very uh significant to me Twitterrific and tweetbot alerts and streaming twitter is not yet sharing the new solution though What will they do ahead of the june deadline we do not know Well, this all came it all started with this announcement that steam spy, which is a service i've used before it's basically a third party website that Gets revenue from ads and things like that but their their job is to skim data available in valves steam Uh library settings for various users that way they can sort of compare who has what games How how much time have they spent in those games? I could very easily look up and say, all right, tom marrett has spent So many hours in civilization five or whatever Uh, that's been a thing you could do for quite a while uh valves changing their api much like you mentioned the twitter api is changing and That got me to thinking about what that means for somebody like steam spy steam spy is going to shut down They've said well, they've broken what we do Like literally our entire model was based on us pulling Specific data from the api when they stopped giving us that data We can't do our job. Therefore. Goodbye steam spy Uh Same thing could i'm not saying it will but it could happen depending on what happens with twitter and what they you know What lifeline they might put out there? Um between bot twitterrific these other kinds of apps that use twitter on mobile They may be in a world of hurt some somebody asked me earlier today with this effect Uh tweet deck and I said well no because twitter owns tweet deck now They don't actively update it in the way that they do twitter prime But it's still there and one would assume it will continue to do what it does Unless suddenly they announce that they're not going to use it anymore But it brings us back to that same point When somebody changes your settings or sorry when somebody changes their api and you rely on that api to do whatever it is you're doing Is that something that we should be? Watchful of angry about concerned about or Is this just a big hoop to do about nothing like if you tie your entire wagon to somebody else's api and everything you do is dependent on it Knowing that they have full control over it. There's nothing, you know unlawful about somebody changing their api it's just how Pulling from an api and Building your business on that is like okay great But if you don't have a partnership They can do whatever they want to do And you know, why why are you frustrated later? Like Listen, I use tweet bot. I'm very happy with tweet bot. That's that's my twitter client You know, I don't see ads that you know There's all sorts of things that people talk about twitter that i'm like meh I use tweet bot so I don't get any of that But they twitter does not own tweet bot the way that they own Uh tweet deck tweet deck So so, you know, it's like Well, you know at any point. I think you should Be uh, you know ready for it to not work out anymore Well, but then why build on the api at all? I mean the the point of an api is like, hey, we want you all to build on the platform, right? Come on in use our api make some stuff And and I think what people get mad about is they're not mad like well, yeah, it's twitter's api. They can do what they want But hold on We were using that api Because you told us to and we built value for your company So sure you have the right to turn it off But we also have the right to be really angry with you for that and not trust you and and and such In the future now twitter has delayed the deprecation of the old api It was originally going to go off june 19th They'll give 90 days notice of a new deprecation date after the new account activity api Becomes available. So it's probably not going to be as bad as it sounds first of all It's not going to disappear june 19th Second of all there will be a replacement before they deprecated It sounds like this just was mishandled by twitter But it may be more costly. Uh, one of the things that tweet or uh tweet bot was pointing out Was they don't know what the cost is of this new account activity api That is replacing the old api And there is a cost associated with an enterprise level And twitter says we'll make sure that everybody knows what that is ahead of time as well So twitter kind of scrambling to get ahead of this Uh, when when they probably should have been ready for it earlier steam on the other hand I don't know scott was steam spy Using an api or was it just kind of taking advantage of something That steam maybe didn't intend them to be to use that way. They were tied into the api Steam would argue or valve would argue That uh, maybe they gave away too much This is them pulling back a little bit and even twitter could argue that the big concern of the big freak out about twitter is that We might be those who are used to tweet bot and other apps that give us Chronological post listings when you posted it in the order you posted it Instead of this new weird world of you know algorithmically displayed postings the way instagram went the way facebook goes They would prefer to stay with tweet bot for those reasons and this is going to mess that up Um, at least that's the talk right now until a solution is provided by twitter as to the contrary So their apps kind of become No longer the reason people think they're cool, which is they retain the chronological order While the main app didn't so there's questions there, but this is a long history thing Uh, I feel like twitter came out of the gate going. Yes, everybody. Let's go get into the car We're all together on this api this api that I want as many services and apps as possible And let's just go do this together and then they pulled back and then they pulled back and then you started seeing More of that whole thing where you had to have a token and if there were too many tokens For a third party they couldn't make an app for twitter So people dropped like flies the there's only a couple left really two three handfuls of of alternative twitter apps So it just feels like a long line of them slowly saying add never mind get out of the car We're tightening up the car We don't want you guys in the car to continue my bad metaphor although I think that I think there is that history of that with twitter. I think in this case It was more like oh crap. We forgot that the car is still running. Uh, we'll delay things We promise we don't want to have that fight again. So maybe they're doing the right thing Thanks to everybody who participates in our subreddit You can submit stories of vote on them at dailytechnewshow.reddit.com and in our facebook group facebook.com Slash groups slash daily tech news show and since we're talking about twitter We do have a twitter handle too. It's daily tech news Doesn't mean be quiet. It means there's a character limit on user IDs Let's check the mailbag sarah Let this one comes from yanniv. He says I was listening to this was yesterday show You were talking with patrick about google transcription services I do video production in spanish here in los angeles Sometimes we have to transcribe interviews in spanish I upload them to youtube and then I download the transcription in spanish have to say very impressed with the results Punctuation is non-existing But the transcript itself is excellent and very few mistakes. It's not a translation It's a transcription of the video. I have to say I tell my clients all the time I have a special software to the transcript So thank you to youtube for being my special software. Well, apparently it's going to get better now So yanniv can appear even cooler to his clients And then drew wrote in and said on tuesday's episode during the discussion around sweden's move to a cashless society patrick made the statement that cash is still a medium for the disenfranchised as he put it I work for a large u.s. Based retail service provider who employs tens of thousands of lower income high turnover employees Whose population set typically overlaps greatly with the unbanked or underbanked populace These are people who go to cash checking places to cash their payroll check many years ago We moved to direct deposit only for payroll services But because many of our employees do not have access to a checking account We continued an exception process where those folks were still mailed paper checks biweekly Because of the relatively no low number of those the cost of the company has been Astronomical on the order of 20 a check and not having bank access Those employees still must cash those checks at a business that charges them a significant fee in order to convert them to cash So we are now transitioning to a pay card system and deprecating paper checks entirely Employees without access to direct deposit banking will now be issued an electronic debit card through a third party The balance of their pay will be automatically loaded on the card every payday Fees are low for the employees much better than debit gift cards Which can be purchased at retail and loaded with cash at the retailer and significantly lower than cash checking places And they can withdraw cash from any ATM if necessary It's not a perfect solution and I have had several concerns along the way However, it is an example of the opposite of patrick's point where the disenfranchised are moving to a more cashless society as a result Very interesting perspective drew. Thank you for that And your listeners they always have these experiences and things. It's um, it's amazing. Yeah. Yeah, no, that's really good It's really good stuff And a great example of how you know, we make assumptions like oh Well, if you don't have a bank account, obviously cashless isn't going to work for you And it's still true in many cases But here's a case where it actually is more of a benefit to go cashless and a way to go cashless without a bank account Thank you to yaneve. Thank you to drew and thank you to scott johnson for being part of the show today Scott, what has been going on in your world and where can folks keep up with your work? Well, my api is still wide open folks Happen to me by gum. There's no restrictions. Um, I'm perfectly chronological as well. Anyway There's all sorts of cool stuff going on. I have a Kickstarter happening any minute Hopefully this week. I'm just sort of waiting on some final numbers For playing cards. You're like, what? Yes. I'm making my own playing card deck Jokers all that stuff I was fascinated with that stuff as a kid and I just need to finally make my own card deck So that sounds interesting to you. Maybe custom poker chips that kind of stuff or maybe an unlocked deck where tom merit Is a king or a jack or a joker or the four of clubs or the four of clubs No The four of clubs in high school. He was famous for being that guy But if you're interested in any of that or anything else I have gone going on over In my part of the world, check it out at frogpants.com or follow me on twitter at scott johnson excellent Now folks, uh, we always try to get one more patron than last month when last I mentioned this We were 10 fewer than last month now We're 11 fewer than last month even though some of you have pledged So, uh, some folks have have had some financial difficulties and they fall off So if you've been dithering about like, I know I can afford a dollar a month.

Are they garbling still? Nope. No, no, you're fine. What in the heck is going on in glendale Don't know he's roger nothing's changed Nothing's there's got to be something though Well, yeah Like something of the water Well, maybe not the water, but maybe something something in the internet connection in the air internet connection is fine I'm true. Well, like in the air tonight. Well, why are you crunching something in the air tonight? I think it's phil Collins is in your computer. Maybe it's just google Uh, yeah, no, it's a codec thing. I'm almost convinced codec mismatch of some sort, but I don't know why Yeah, because I guess at the google did a week ago that is causing you frustrations Um, yeah, I haven't changed anything in my setup. Um I know isn't that weird Well, the only reason I say that is because I was like, you know, it wasn't long ago that we were like What's wrong with sarah's connection? Yeah, right, you know, it's never the connection It's almost never the connection because connection problems are so intermittent unless you just have a really bad connection It's it's almost always the drivers voice and video is so efficient now. Like you're it's the packets are minimal The traffic's prioritized. It's usually something else And it was for me when I was having issues a couple weeks ago and Turned out to be well, that's when I found out I could get a bit and now everything's better, but video codec But what was it? It was my router or not my router. I had a Switch in between the router and the network and it was farting out like a mother And I still don't know why I was doing it but replacing it with another switch totally fixed it So I was happy to just let that mystery be a mystery You know, we are flirting with disaster by talking about it while rogers Kodak is working. Hello. Hello. Is it garbally? Oh, it's so bad right now. No, stop it scott. He's oh my gosh I've never heard such car. That's good. He'll give him a complex Never sounded better Application programming and furiating Oh, that's not bad I want that a lot. There weren't a lot of titles this episode Scott's api is wide open about my api is afk Api is wide open I got a snicker out of sarah. I feel pretty good about it. Yeah Yeah, that's sort of Not really a full belly laugh Okay You can't just put a sticker on it and ways to void your warranty If you like it, then you just put a sticker on it. Oh my gosh, I was thinking that same thing ton I like application programming and furiating but roger would it's your Do that. That's my first pick All right, I like that as long as people understand that we're making api joke I believe it's the right crowd for that probably If there ever was one, this is it there was ever a crowd this is one See that song it'll get into your soul Toto request live We only take requests for toto songs Even a song like total eclipse of the heart. I just called toto eclipse of the heart Well, so a friend of mine was like, you know, I was talking about africa Do the best song ever because that's what you do and she was like, oh, that's so funny Yeah, toto is doing like a reunion tour um Yeah, like like the you know, or at least in you know, certain markets Whatever certainly in la and I was like Well, okay, so africa and rosanna are both great songs, but like 99 can Okay, 99 That's three How about that, uh, you know fourth like what what the reunion tour like what what else we got? Yeah, I mean It takes a lot to get me in a crowd Weirdo pot All the money in the world can't get me in a crowd. I don't like concerts just for the sake of them Well, I'm smaller than everybody so I can't see anything And I also don't like people Here's one. Okay. I had to look it up to be to be fair, but uh, here's one that we all know But I think everybody forgets his toto hold the line. Oh, oh Yeah, that's a good one Mm-hmm, but like but like you're not going to the concert to like hear that to hear hold the line, you know, right? You're like, oh, I forgot you sang this you're gonna stand in line to hear hold the line Probably sing human nature too Well, they could right that part of it is fair pretty cool We'll play the michael jackson thing that roger informed us about You can only know So it's an appreciative Well, now you can know about it if you're a youtube viewer I just can't believe that tom was like, oh, that's not my favorite song like That's Like what else would it be? That is your favorite song. He just it's not even on my playlist Oh There's a really good cover by reliant k I would recommend by the way reliant k I'm always skeptical bands that name themselves after a chrysler product Well, you sound like the last chrysler. I drove right now your engine a mini band That's weird. Are you just unplugging your usb every time and that goes away? No, but He doesn't realize that it happens. Yeah, he doesn't hear it in his monitor, right? No, I don't know man I'm like hardly now. Yeah, yeah, you are Crunchy crunch, right? No lie. I can't even call it Super hot roger Maybe we need to Roger should do asmr whispering or whatever that is but do it in a rusty voice like that See somebody out there likes that. I don't know who but maybe he'll be the hot sensation on twitch When when life gives you crackles make crackly asmr's give them a snap and pop that'll sing Yeah, no that old adage. Yeah. Yeah. Oh that old that old chestnut No idea what's happened you're fine now. Yeah, I don't know what's happening. It sounds like a buffer issue It's like he gets to a point and then the buffer overflows Could be what about that spyware for your camera? Is that still running? No, it's a spyware for my keystrokes. That's still running Keystroke logger Oh, uh, W. Scottish one says voice meter will crackle if you're using that It we'll see that's the thing. It wasn't for the longest time And then it started doing it and then well remember yesterday you did some things and we're like, let's see if it happens tomorrow So tomorrow don't start voice meter When we do the show do it without voice meter on I know that means you won't be able to play christopher cross in the pre-show. I understand the sacrifice that you have to make Big one It's the bigger issues when you're out. This is what I rely on to play Well, but let's let's take it one step at a time.  Let me do this. Why do you think christopher cross is doing right now? Like this second here is no drinking water You know what? Oh snare. I saw it the other day Somebody took a picture of him in the late 70s 80s and then a picture of him today And they said christopher cross is yeah, and it says christopher cross is the only man ever to live who looks like Both in in one part of his life and then later in his life looks like both members of tenacious d No, you have to see this. Oh my god I'm gonna find it And christopher cross was weird because he used to wear a football jersey when he used to play most of his songs so it was very Jarring how do you guys know all this stuff about christopher cross? Because I remember watching him on solid gold Oh, I found it. Oh god Solid go then got like memed all over the place So I'm gonna put it in the daily thing and you can see my screen screen share it on the hangout Oh, I could do that Yeah, do you see that? Oh No, I don't see it How do I screen share on here do you click the little green you go to the left and you click the little green button with the arrow Okay, hold on just um christopher cross was um I I need a minute. Okay. Hold on. I'm gonna put this that's not christopher cross. No, it's there There it is.  Yes, I verified because that really looks like The two members of today's No, it just looks like his hair Do a regular google search of christopher cross you'll find all these photos and be like, oh my gosh, that's all right like, okay, so couple of things first of all How I mean, how was christopher cross like a pop star? No one knows number two How did christopher cross look like that? Also a pop star Yeah, no, it's because she started in the 70s. That's when you didn't need to look attractive Oh, but you still don't need to look attractive now. Like it's not about being attractive. It's about being Video killed the radio star.  Yeah Oh, that's a simpson But it's also, uh, by the way, that's uh, that was actual michael jackson uncredited in that role And he did that voice Oh Somebody call christopher cross I want to know what you're doing right now christopher cross on the phone He's on the horn. He's still tours. Hello, mr. Cross. What are you doing right now? He's sailing. He'll say um I used to uh, when I was younger. I was uh, I took gymnastics and I was in a gymnastics class and My mother who's watching the show right now because she always watches. She'll laugh um christopher cross, um Right like the wind was our warm-up song every every time really?  You know, you're ruining christopher cross And yeah, right like the wind I forgot that that was even another song he did so that's mcdonald Such a long Yeah, so to this to this day every every time I hear that song i'm like gymnastics. I need to tumble well if you need to know christopher cross is still touring and His last us state is opening for toto Monday April 16th, and then he goes to osaka japan and then tokyo and then back to us and guys we got to go to osaka Hello, osaka. Oh wait. He's also playing denmark switzerland france the nataline's germany kono Miyaki. I ever had was in osaka Hey germany has like me too Me too But hold on. What does he sing if it's just the three songs we know What's he has a lot of music. He has a new album Whatever the third one is and that's it his new one is tenacious d here. I am Taking as I am who am I It's a unique offering from christopher cross a hybrid of sorts the songs are instrumentals with courses to create the lyrical landscape This is not quite a guitar album, but leaves a listener with no question about his expertise on the subject Oh He has the songs are uh Ila Take me as away. Take me take me as I am Wait a minute. Isn't that a peter satara song and reberda down to the wire Okay, okay, you know christopher cross peter satara. Let's not get you know that very different very different I have a lot of problems with peter satara. Also, they're both very different than logic I won't say so Yes, they are just for good contrast. Okay. Can't can't get those two mixed up. Nope. Nope That's my favorite thing I've ever heard Um What was the peter satara song from I'll fight for your honor Oh, it's great his entire voice He also still Ruined chicago Kidding he he cranked out the most pro some of the um highest selling out But he took listen what he did to chicago is what starship did to themselves He took them from this like kind of bluesy cool 70s vibe to like pop Dance music 80s slow. Michael McDonald did the same thing to do be brothers. Yeah, they all did it then That was a thing you did and it was just a the trend. Yeah He's been working it. Yeah, first an airplane is the most egregious in my opinion. I hate that They are that we built this city and rock and roll is one of the worst songs ever made Uh, you mean one of the best. Oh my lord Uh-oh Now we can't let's hold on before we get deep in the hoopla here I am going to end the streams. Thank you for listening to our physical discourse Tomorrow


everyone and welcome. This is Melissa Armo with the Stock Solution of Reviewing Nike, which was a stocks with show option of the week, the biggest option of the week, the biggest option of the month. This was over 500% return in investment, an awesome trade. Why? Because perfect timing, capture the move, got the momentum, got the sell off. Everything worked beautifully with this. So, the stock closed your gap down. This was the day that I called it on June 30th. And I called it 109 puts. And it felt it literally felt every single day. And actually this is probably still even lower tomorrow. But the option expires tomorrow. I don't think anyone should still be in this. It fell today. It broke 104. It went to 103.67. This was a huge, huge, huge, huge trade. This is one of these trades where I call it, you can't mess this up. You can't screw this up, I say. This is one you couldn't have screwed up if you tried. Basically, everyone that did this made money. It went, it was beautiful. It was perfect. So, this is a nice precursor to earning season, which begins next week, the busy season. Even though this was earnings, Nike reports late. So, this was the tail end of earning season, the last day of June, which was last week for the holiday. And it just worked out beautifully. So, again, tomorrow is Friday. I don't ever think people should stay in a trade that's up as much as this was up into the last day. But could this continue tomorrow? Absolutely. Absolutely. So, just look in here at the chart of Nike and just seeing how this has acted. It had a really big run up in 2020 and 2021 with the overall market. But then when things started to break down in 2022, the same to drop off. And now here we are 2023. It's not having a good year. So, interesting to see and watch where this goes, but I will be more focused on new things going into next week, starting off on Monday. Again, the biggest options trade we've had in quite some time, quite some time here. And a good sign, a good sign of what's to come for earning season where we're going to have some huge, huge winners on the Options newsletter. If you're interested in signing up for the Gap Options newsletter, email me at melissa.switch.com. There are no prerequisites. If you know how to do options, you can sign up for the newsletter. You can get the next trade as soon as you sign up. Have a great day, everyone.


Live from San Diego, California, it's theCUBE. Covering KubeCon and CloudNativeCon, brought to you by Red Hat, the CloudNative Computing Foundation and its ecosystem partners. Welcome back, this is theCUBE's fourth year of covering KubeCon and CloudNativeCon. This is the North American show here in San Diego, it's 2019, he is John Troyer, I am Stu Miniman, and happy to welcome to the program. First of all, I have Merley Tillumili, who's the co-founder and CEO of Portworx, and Merley, thank you so much for bringing one of your customers on the program, Satish Purnim, who's a technical specialist with Ford Motor Company. Gentlemen, thank you so much for joining us. Delighted to be here. All right, so Satish, we're going to start with you because the growth of this ecosystem has been phenomenal. There were end users up on the main stage, we've already had them, there's over, there's 129 now CNCF end user participants there, but bring us in Ford, we're getting ready for this, we're talking, there's so much change going in from, of course everybody talks about autonomous vehicles and what they have, but technology has really embedded itself deeply into a company like Ford, so before we get into all the KubeCon, just bring us a little into your world, what's happening, changing, and what your team does. Sure. Ford generally has been a transformation journey for about the last two years now. That includes like completely reading our data centers, our application portfolio. As part of this migraine journey, we started our journey with Cloud Foundry, we have been a huge pivotal Cloud Foundry shop for some time, and then we also would like to start diabbling with Kubernetes and things associated technologies, primarily looking for data services, messaging services, a lot of the stateful things, right? Cloud Native, I'm like Kubernetes, and I'd say more of Cloud Foundry, I'm sorry, did great wonders for us for 12-fact graphs, so what do we do with like, stateful things, and that's what we started diabbling with Kubernetes and things like that. Satish, if I could, I want to step back one second here and say, you know, you're doing transformation, consolidation, moving from monoliths to microservices, what was the business driver here? Was it one day some executive got up and said, you know, hey, this sounds really cool, go do it? Or, you know, was there a specific driver in the business that now your organization needs to respond to? I think the business driver is cost efficiencies. I'm like, there were like a lot of things that we have not done, so there was a lot of technical that we have to pay down because of various fragmentation and various other things. So it's always about realizing business efficiencies and most importantly, speed at which we deliver services to our customers internally. So that was the main driving force for our engaging and this transformation journey for like both last few years. Okay, Merley, we'd love to bring you into this conversation here. Obviously, agility is one of the things I hear most from customers, the driver of what new things. Infrastructure for the longest time, in many ways, it was the boat anchor of what held us back, especially, you know, our friends in networking and storage, it is difficult to change and keep up with what's driving there. So bring us up to speed with Portworx and how you fit into Ford and more broadly. Yeah, just a quick introduction to Portworx. We've been around for about five years now, right from the early days of containers and Kubernetes. And you know, we have quite a few customers now in production. We have about 130 customers, 50 of the global 2K and so on. Many, almost all of those customers are in production, deploying significant workloads. The interesting thing about Kubernetes in the last couple of years especially is that everybody recognizes that it's won the war for orchestrating containers and applications. But the reality is the customer still has to manage the whole stack, the stack of not just the app, but the data itself underneath. And that's kind of the role of Portworx. Portworx is the platform for storage for Kubernetes and we orchestrate all the underlying storage and the data applications. With that being said, I think one of the things that we've seen that Ford has kind of led the way in and has been really amazing is some of the many surprising things that people don't really know about Kubernetes which has been happening now with customers like Ford for a while. One of them, for example, is just the use of Kubernetes in on-prem applications. Very few people really kind of, they think of Kubernetes as something that was born in the cloud and therefore has kind of really only mushroomed in the cloud. And one of the key things about Kubernetes and most of our customers are actually on-prem. And it to me is transforming the data center. The agility that Satish speaks about is something that you don't just need because you're operating in the cloud, you need that for all of your on-prem applications too. And that's been one of the unique characteristics that we've seen from Ford. Yeah, and you talked about your journey, Satish. The pivotal folks really talked a lot about the transformation and agility, no matter where your apps were sitting. I'm kind of curious in terms of the storage and the statefulness of the applications that you're working with now. What kind of a, if I looked at it, a diagram, what kind of a setup would there be? So there's a Portworx layer underneath and beside Kubernetes that's managing some of the storage and some of the replication. Is it then, is the data sitting on a sand somewhere? Is it sitting in the cloud?  I'm like, go, typical application. Yes, we draw storage, we've been drawing storage for several years from NetApp as being as the primary source of our data.  We dabble with quite a few technologies including Rook, NetApp Trident, Gluster, you know, I'm like, it was a journey. It's a journey that we took us to, I'm like, ultimately led us to Portworx and we just getting started with Portworx. But the first aspect has been the gravity that the storage brings along with it. And all the things that are cloud native is great but cloud native has stayed somewhere and that has to be managed someplace. And we said, hey, can we do that with Kubernetes, right? So I think we have done, I won't say an outstanding job but at least we have done a reasonably good job at actually at least wrapping our heads around it. And we have quite a few workloads in production that are actually stateful, whether they are like build systems, they're also like data messaging systems, many cards applications and all that stuff. So that has been something that we've been working on for the past few years on our platforms at least. Yeah. Merlin, I wonder if you could expand a little bit on kind of the application suite. You know, what can we do? What can't we do? Listening to the keynote this morning, I definitely heard it was, if you look at a multicluster environment, you know, you want to mirror and have the same things there. Well, I can't just magically have all the data everywhere and you know, data has gravity and the laws of physics still apply. So I can't just automatically replicate terabytes from here to the cloud or back. Yeah. So help us understand where we are. So you know, one of the things Satish told me yesterday, which I love, is he's saying, he said, stateful is almost easier than stateless now because of the fact that we have these extensions of Kubernetes. So one of the things that's been very, very impactful is that Kubernetes has now these extensions for managing, you know, storage, networking and so on. And in fact, the way they do that is through an API that just an overlay. So we are an example of an overlay. And so think about it this way. If a customer, about 60% of our customers are building a platform as a service. In many cases, they don't even know what applications are going to be in there. So over our customer base, we see the same alphabet soup over and over and over again. Guess what it is? Postgres, Cassandra, so all the databases, Redis, right? You know, all of the messaging cues, right? Things like Kafka and, you know, streaming data, for example, Spark workloads. And so one of the key things that is happening around with customers, particularly on the enterprise side, like large enterprises, they are using all kinds of applications and they're all stateful. I mean, there's very few enterprises that are not stateful and they're all running on some kind of a storage substrate that has virtualized the underlying storage. So we run on top of the underlying hardware, but then we're able to kind of work with all of the orchestration that Kubernetes provides, but we are adding the orchestration of the data infrastructure as well as the storage itself. And I think that's one of the key things that's changed with Kubernetes in the last, I would say two and a half years is most people used to think of it as in the cloud and stateless, but now it's on-prem and stateful. Satish, you know, one of the things we've talked to customers is their journey of modernizing their applications. There's things that you might build brand new and are great here, but, you know, I'm sure you have thousands of applications and, you know, going from the old way to a brand new thing, there's lots of different ways to get there. Some of it you might need to just, where are you with the journey of getting things onto this platform layer that we're talking about and what will that journey look like for Ford? Net new apps, anything being new, we're talking about writing in like cloud native, 12-factor apps, like, but anything new, I'm like, anything existing, data services, messaging services, what we affectionately call as like table-stake services, right? So, which all the 12-factor apps rely on, we're targeting two worlds, Kubernetes. The idea is, are we there yet? Probably known, like, we're getting there with, along with our partners, to put it on the platforms like Kubernetes, right? So, we are also doing a lot of automation and orchestration on VMs itself, but the idea is heavy and heavier workloads are going to be landing on Kubernetes platforms, and there will be a lot of work in the upcoming years, particularly 2020, where we will be concentrating more on those things, and the continuing growth would be on 12-factor Net new, will be 12-factor Net new, could be in Cloud Foundry, could be in Kubernetes, time will tell, but that's the guiding philosophy, so to speak, but there's a lot that we have to learn in this journey right now. I was kind of curious about that, Satish. I mean, we talked about an alphabet soup, you talked about a lot of different projects, and certainly here at KubeCon, the thing about the Cloud Native Community Foundation is that not that they don't have opinions, but everybody has an opinion. There's lots of different components here. It's not one stack. It's a collection of things that could be put together in several different ways. So you've tried a bunch of different things with storage. I'm actually, I'm interested if there are, if there were kind of surprises, or containerized activity is probably different than IO activity and storage IO is probably different than in a virtual machine. The storage itself has some different assumptions built into it. So like, do you have any advice for people? I'm interested in the storage case, but also just you're going to have to evaluate networking and security and compliance and a lot of different things. Like how do you go about approaching this sort of evaluation and this trial and this journey of when you are facing an alphabet soup of options? I think it all comes down to basic engineering, right? So I think about what are your failure points? I'm like, could be servers failing, infrastructure, hardware failing, right? So the basic tenets is that we try to introduce failure as early as possible. Like what happens if you pull the wire? Like what happens if the server failure happens? The question always comes back is that is there a way I can compose the same infrastructure so that I can spread it across couple of failure domains? I think that was the whole idea of when we started can we decompose the problem such that we can actually take advantage of primitives that are baked into Kubernetes? The great thing with CSI that we are just realizing before that we're all flex drivers, but how do you actually organize storage in the backend that actually allows you to actually compose this thing on the front end using the Kubernetes primitives? I think that was the approach that we talked. And CSI is a standard API. Correct. Yeah, storage API, yeah. Exactly, I'm like that's what we are relying, we are hoping that that is going to help us with things like moving compute to the storage rather than moving storage to the compute. So that's one of the evolving thinking that we are working with, Portworx, we've been working with the community folks from ROK and a couple of other areas. There's a lot to be done here. I'm like we are just in still very early days, I would say. All right, Murli, want to make sure we get out there. Portworx had some updates for this week, so why don't you share the latest? The updates actually relate to exactly what Satish was talking about. The idea of, so container storage has kind of been on its own journey, right? In the early days that John remembers well, it was really providing storage persistent, making that data available everywhere. It's then clearly moved to HA being having a high availability, say within the cluster and so on. But the data lifecycle for the application that's been containerized extends well beyond that. So we are making extensions to our own product that are kind of following that path. So one of the things we launched a few months ago was disaster recovery, DR, which is very, very specific to containers. So container granular DR, so you can kind of take a snapshot, not just of the data, but of the application state as well as the Kubernetes pod spec and recover all three of them. At this KubeCon, we're announcing two other things. One of them is backup. So our customers, as they make the journey through their app lifecycle, inevitably they need to back up their data and we have again, container granular backup that we're providing all by the way on existing storage. We're not asking anybody to up change their hardware storage substructure. The last thing we're introducing is storage capacity management, which is fully automated. You know, one of the characteristics of Kubernetes is all of that is get the person, get the trouble ticket out of the picture, right? The world is going to be automated. Kubernetes is one of the ways people are doing that. And what we have provided is the ability to auto resize volumes and auto resize pods of storage and add more nodes automatically based on policy that is completely automated. So that again, these applications, one of the characteristics of containerized workloads is they're unpredictable. They go up and down and they grow very fast sometimes. And so all of that management, so autopilot backup, DR have now been added in addition to persistent storage and H8. All right, so before I let you both go, want to talk about 2020. So Satish, I want to give you a wish. You talked about all the things you've do the next couple of years. If you could get one thing more out of this ecosystem to make your lives easier for you and your team, you know, what would that be? I think standardization on more of these interfaces. Kubernetes provides a great platform for everybody to interact equally. More things like CSI, CRI stuff that's happening in the community. And most standardization will lead to actually make my life and things, and then fries is a lot more easier. We'd like to see continue that happening. GPU space that looks very interesting. So we'll see, that will be my wish at least. All right, so Merli, I'm not giving you a wish. You're going to tell me, you know, what should we be looking for from Portworx and participation in this community over the next year? I think one of the big changes that's happened really in the last couple of years, but it's really kind of achieving a hockey stick, is that enterprises are recognizing that stateful apps are really, should be using Kubernetes and can use Kubernetes. So to me, what I predict is that I think Kubernetes is going to move from not, from just managing applications to actually managing infrastructure, like storage. And so I, you know, my belief is that 2020 is the beginning of where Kubernetes becomes the control plane across the data center and cloud. It's the new control plane, you know, what OpenStack was aspiring to be many years ago, and that it will be looking upwards to manage applications and downwards to manage infrastructure. And you know, it's not just us who are doing that. Folks like VMware with Project Pacific have kind of, clearly kind of kind of indicated that that's the direction that we see. So I think its role is now much more than just an app orchestrator. It's really going to be the new control plane for infrastructure and apps in the enterprise and in the cloud. Merley, Satish. Thank you so much for sharing all the updates. Pleasure to catch up with both of you. Thanks. Northbound, southbound, multi-cloud. theCUBE is at all of these environments and all the shows. For John Troyer, I'm Stu Miniman as always. Thank you for watching theCUBE.


Hi, this is Hoseb Nipartia, and we are here at Open Source Summit in Vancouver. Today, we have with us once again, Gabriele Colabro, you wear many hats. The two hats that we are going to talk about today is Executive Director of Finos and also General Manager of LF Europe. First of all, Gabriele, it's once again great to have you on the show. Thank you so much for having me here. It's always a pleasure. Yeah, let's talk about Finos. We are really touched upon that when we are in Dublin. But give us some update on the project foundation. This year, of course, is a pretty complicated year for financial services. We've all heard the news. But it's interesting to note that the project is going as fast as it's ever grown. We've had the fastest growth in the last year in terms of contributors and, of course, members. And even further is accelerating. This year, the first quarter, we had about 20% contributor growth quarter over quarter. So it's been pretty substantial, I think, recognition of the fact that Open Source is counter cyclical when the economic climate complex, when organizations are pushed to be more efficient and more innovative, actually Open Source, even in a conservative industry like financial services, is definitely seen as a way to accelerate those. And so I'm really pleased to see the growth in contributors, growth in membership. This week, we have announced fidelity investments joining Finos as a member. We are effectively seeing, in terms of our membership, in a way, our members following the value chain. We start from investment banks. We are now moving into asset managers like Fidelity. We're seeing card processors. We have seen Discover this week at this event having a big present. They became a Finos member already in the year. So I am very pleased to see the growth that, again, such a conservative industry like financial services is seeing in Open Source. You veered a couple of hats. But let's just keep at the Finos head. What is your presence here at the Open Source Summit? So we actually had many members representing us. I was the only representative of Finos here this week. But we have, again, seen our members taking the lead from us and spreading the word. Finos has been mentioned in multiple presentations. We have a lot of... In the last two weeks, we actually ran two hackathons, which is a pretty new thing for banks to get in the same room together, developing. In fact, last week in New York, we had over 100 people hosted the Bank of Montreal, building real solutions that actually were Open Source in nature. I think that's a big difference. You see a lot of generally hackathons, tax prints in this industry that are not open. And so having the opportunity to start in the Open with the sort of insurance, high longevity, ensuring high longevity to some of these projects is really amazing. And in fact, I got a shout out to Discover as well, who ran a global accessibility hackathon over the last two weeks. We're waiting for the results. It's been amazing. We had over 200 participants. It was co-sponsored by Finos. Again, I think this is a true recognition of how the industry is opening and starting to behave more like tech companies. And of course, little personal note, I have a special needs kit. So accessibility topics when I'm able to really sort of bring together my personal and my professional life are definitely very, very close to my heart. If you look at some of this financial industry, I talked to Discover also some of these organizations are very early. They are going through their own digital transformation. Yes. And there is so much code to be written that sometimes that transformation becomes a deterrent because the code has to be written. So can you also talk about, you know, that what role can open source play there? Because this code is not where they're competing. They're competing on services. Absolutely. So talk about, you know, what value open source can bring to these organizations where they should leverage this code for a lot of commodity software and then they can continue to compete in the market when it comes to bring actual value. Absolutely. I think you nailed it. And this is actually something that is going to be a really nice segue into the Europe conversation. I am seeing a very strong development in vertical foundations like ours, you know, focused specifically around an industry, around the business problems of a certain industry. And it's always a combination of, on one hand, education. You're right. Some of them are undergoing the digital transformation and within this process, some of them do understand already that open source is a major factor. Some others need education. And in fact, Venus has a major open source readiness program that really helps, you know, the community, the industry at large in financial services, but certainly our members to accelerate sort of this strategic understanding. Of course, to your point, there are, I think, a couple of levels of value that these organizations get from open source. The first one is the one that we are probably all familiar with, you know, the technical benefits of open source. We're talking about cost efficiency. We're talking about faster innovation. We're talking about better interoperability in an industry that is effectively connected by nature, meaning you have to transact with your counterparts and potentially collaborate with your competitors to do business in financial services. That's the nature of the financial services industry, which brings me to the second level. We are now seeing more and more of our projects, given our vertical nature, delivering direct value to the business in these organizations. So if you are a bank on the cell side that is trying to interact and transact with the buy side, you know, with asset managers like Fidelity, we have standards like FDC3 on the API side and the common domain model on the data side that really make this interaction very, very seamless. And then number three, to your point, they are starting to learn from a cultural perspective and really C-level perspective that not all they do is differentiating. There is a lot, like we know in tech, probably 70-80% of their stack, that is really about common problems that we could and should all collaborate on in the open. Let me give you an example. One of our three strategic initiatives is called Open Rectec. It's about open source regulatory technology. If you think about what open source is about, to your point, is work on things that are non-competitive, work on things for which there are common requirements for all the parties, and work on things that ideally, you know, you get a mutualization of the costs by collaborating on. And compliance and regulation really hits these three points. And so you're absolutely right. There has been sort of an up-leveling of open source in these organizations from just being a sort of a mere way of collaborating on code to truly becoming a strategic pillar of the digital transformation. When we look at the financial industry, it also is like very good at following tenders. A lot of, of course, there's compliance too, but we look at things like shift code. So this industry also understands the importance of such a thing. And this is what open source does. A lot of industries, open source has kind of created standards that in every way it is falling without going to an ISO body. Absolutely. I think you nailed it here, Spopnik, because the reality is this is an industry that, as we said before, has to collaborate by nature. And so standards like, it's very familiar with standards like FIX, like SWIFT. The very fabric of this industry works based on common standards, let alone how you report back to regulators that gives my major benefit to regulators to be able to represent securities and financial instruments in the same format. In fact, again, one of our major project is called the Common Domain Model. And it was contributed by three industry associations, ISDA, ICMA, and ISLA, which were effectively trade bodies, trade organizations building standards for the industry. And they've now realized that open source can accelerate the adoption of that standard. I work both in standard bodies and in open source organizations. And really, you get the best of both worlds when you pair an established open standard with open source implementations, bindings, things that you can actually put in the hands of a developer in a super frictionless way. Because otherwise, the alternative is you either have to implement the standard yourself, and who knows if you do it right, or whether you are 95% compliant, which effectively means you're not compliant. Or you have to rely on a vendor to build that standard for you. And again, we all remember the browser wars and how it happened. You had to have Chrome and Firefox coming to the field to actually move past that sort of browser world world and drastically improve the user experience and just the standardization of the web. So, you absolutely are right. I think open source brings collaboration and financial services to a whole new level. You bear so many different heads. Now, I want to talk about LFU, we sat down I think two weeks ago at CubeCon and we got an update. But talk a bit about, because I think there's something that you gave me a glimpse of that in the pipeline. So, how many of those things have been the fruition this time? Yes, I mean, we move fast. And as you can see from my face, I'm pretty tired. But we've had some exciting updates in the last couple of weeks. Well, first of all, we announced our Linus Foundation advisory board. Linus Foundation Europe advisory board last week. I'm really excited to have over 20 leaders from European organizations, both technology companies like SAP or Dynatrace or all the way to big industrial companies like Orange or Bosch or Thales. We have really great representation of actually over 10 countries in Europe. That's also something that I'm pretty excited about, to really have a diverse representation of the different needs of Europe. You know, in the end, differently the U.S., we're talking about 27 member states just in the EU. And if you add to that, UK, Switzerland, the rest of Europe, we're talking about potentially quite different priorities. So having an advisory board really will help grounding the focus and the priorities of LF Europe. The second thing that I'm very excited about is our work on the UN Sustainable Goals. You can see my nice pin here. This morning, I talked about it during my keynote. Following the announcement from Hilary Carter, our head of research yesterday, we have launched an initiative to really align the Linux Foundation projects to the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. I think this is important not only as an individual because I'd like to see progress made. And I think open source has a unique capability of solving very complex global problems, but also because these are problems that are global in nature. And so really speaks volumes to the role of the Linux Foundation and why we created the Linux Foundation in Europe. Our tagline is collaborate locally, innovate globally. So the idea of launching Linux Foundation in Europe was really to be able to start projects in Europe. And Europe cares a lot about social and collective societal improvements through open source. But of course, then not creating silos, not creating a fragmentation, but really focus on higher order problems. And I think I'm really pleased to see in this, I think it's going to be a message that resonates a lot with Europe. What we can solve through open source of these very large problems like climate, water, poverty. I'm really excited to see the focus on our mission and impact from Linux Foundation and Linux Foundation Europe. You talked about already, but sometime when we talk to folks, it can go beyond that also. Like I was talking to Hillary this morning as well, and it could be about the sustainability of this planet, but also sustainability of open source projects also because gone are the times where people used to work in their free time. Yes. At the same time, financial also matter, diversity inclusion also matter because of the community. So if I ask you when you look at this sustainability goals, because once again, there are 17, but from your perspective, what are the goals that you for LF Europe, that you say, hey, these are the immediate priorities that we should look at. Sustainability of the open source community is a major conversation in and of its own. And I think you're absolutely right. It is definitely a high priority for Linux Foundation Europe and maybe we get to talk about the CRA, the Cyber Resilience Act and some of the inadvertent effects that despite being well-intentioned, it might create an already strained open source community. But when I look at the portfolio of the Linux Foundation and I think about some of the key projects that we have that are Europe strong, let's say, and aligned with sustainable goals, what comes to mind is certainly LF energy. It is already very active, very well structured in Europe, RTE, Leander. So some of the major providers of energy from Europe are in there and they're making fantastic progress towards energy efficiency. I think OS climate, open source climate is another very SDG-aligned project that it is global in nature. It is not just a Linux Foundation Europe project, but it has a very strong reputation from Europe, the climate. So of course, a global problem, but there is a major focus in Europe, especially Northern Europe, I would argue, to really be aggressive about the issue. And I think a third one that I don't think gets talked enough about is Agstak. It's our agriculture Agtech, if you want, open source effort. This is an area that not only in Europe, but if you think also about India and you think about the broader issue, not only has a potential to massively improve the conditions, the working conditions of many people in the world, but actually does very closely connect to climate. We all know that the carbon credit system is certainly a great attempt, but it's quite easy to game in the sense that there are no standards, there's very little traceability. And so Agstak actually does provide and is starting to providing a lot of tools to really ground some of those measurements in the ground, sorry for the play and word here. And so I'm really excited to see later in the year at our open source summit in Europe in Bilbao, as well as our first Linux Foundation Europe membership summit, we'll have some of these projects very much featured because not only they deliver to individuals, not only I think there are plenty of corporates that are looking to invest in these areas, but it's very much aligned also with the new goal and potentially public sector funding and grants that are coming down that could really help accelerate the speed of some of these projects. Since you briefly touched on CRR Cyber Resiliency Act, I do want to talk a bit about because last time also we touched briefly about that, but this is becoming a very hot topic. So I do want to highlight to our audience also what is the challenge and problem there and what role can LFU role play there? Absolutely. So well thanks for the question. So the Cyber Resilience Act in short for those who don't know it is a regulation that is making its way through the legislative process in the EU. It is meant and it has a very noble intent to bolster cybersecurity in Europe. We all know what happened last year with Log4Shell. We have seen the response both from the White House with the cybersecurity strategy and now Europe is following suit by really trying to regulate to enforce security on software and of course open source software. Now whilst open source is a major pillar of the vision of Europe and the EU for a next generation internet for a human center internet, on the other hand unfortunately the law as is drafted right now it risks to impose pretty strong liability burdens on individual maintainers, on foundations, on the very fabric of open source meaning repositories, code repositories and binaries repositories. So all the intermediaries that actually offer services for free to the open source community think about GitHub, think about Maven Central and so we are indeed concerned that the law as drafted could really mean you know in the worst case scenario really backfire towards the EU meaning they're really investing in open source. They see open source as a major pillar again in the worst case scenario open source should the developer decide to keep things private because of liability and the risk in Europe should you know a foundation and I'm not talking particularly about the Linux foundation but even the smaller foundations out there or even projects that are just in GitHub that are not under a foundation should they have been required will be required to have a pretty onerous and frankly currently not very specified set of requirements around security and so we are working very very hard with the other nonprofit foundations in Europe, individual contributors and directly with you know the European Parliament, European Commission to really try to educate them on what are the potentials should the law go into effect as is and you know we are seeing honestly some progress in the last few weeks but as you know it's a very convoluted legislative process and we are not lobbying organizations there's no you know one interlocutor that they can talk to and so we are all really trying to work better together with the European Commission we're very very you know open to to provide real life models of what this could mean because ultimately both as a professional I care about the impact this could have to open source but as an Italian citizen I'm equally worried as to what can that mean for European technology if all of a sudden this might mean that Europe gets isolated from the you know global open source innovation so yeah lots to lots to keep us busy in the next couple of months yeah really once again thank you so much for sitting down with me and give us an update on you know of course you know LF Europe and you know once again you know there are so many things on your plate but I would love to chat with you again soon to get updates on all this you're working on but I really really really appreciate your time really thank you thank you so much for now


Welcome back to Dulay Paintbrushes. So today you will notice that we have a very special guest. Dan from Danocracy is here.  Inside the grave-in are all of the materials that you will need to create your art piece. You will have 30 minutes to create your work of art. After it dries, we will then resin them all with a nice coat of art resin. Are you ready? Yes. Here we go. On the count of three, open your bins. One, two, three. OK, inside your bins you will find paint, brushes, tape, and some shapes. All of you must use these shapes as part of your art in some shape or form, pun intended. You can physically use the shapes, or they can simply be the inspiration, but the shapes are your theme. You want us to make art based on shapes. Yes, but like the weirdest shapes. Exactly, but they're not like the ones that would be at the popular table. OK, guys, if you're ready, it's time to begin. On your mark, get set, go. I got nothing. I got nothing. Did you get any chicken nuggets in your box? Oh, that's a good one. Can you move over for these guys? Uh-huh. I need to have a toy carpet out of it. Can I get an apron? It's about to get messy in cubicle number two. Cubicle number two. Ew. All right, guys, drop your paint brushes. Drop your paints. Oh, no. We're switching boards. Oh, no. Dave, your board goes to Rebecca. Rebecca, your board goes to Dan. And Dan, your board goes to Dave. Oh, I was onto something here. Oh, I was getting in there. How could you do this to us? So this is Dan's.  We're going to abstract up in here. You guys now have 15 minutes to finish your piece.  So what do you think of the piece you got now, Dan? I think it's obnoxious and very abstract, but we can work with it. Wow, I'm right here, Dan. Well, these things aren't soundproof. Dave, what do you think of your piece? I'm very excited. This is going to turn into a beautiful collaboration. And I'm guaranteed a win. And how do you feel about the piece you got? I can work with it.  Rebecca, we have a dueling paint brushes junior where you can compete against some children. I thought I already was. I'm clearly done right now. Well, I don't know if I'm done, but I don't know what else to do. Like, I don't have any more ideas. So today, we're so lucky. Elanda is going to be walking us through how to create a piece of flow art. You just have to have confidence in your work and in yourself. It's gorgeous. I absolutely love how this piece turned out. Yes, sir. Nature, baby. Four minutes remaining. All right, done. Time's up. Calling it. We're done. All right, guys, let's hold up your pieces and show us what you got. That's all I got. I'm feeling confident in this one. It was good. I was on to something at the start. And then the whole swap thing happened. So I got a new piece, which was like out there, don't say. So I totally just revamped it to almost originally what I was doing before. But I kept this, which is good. It's part of the rules, so. You know, it is what it is. But I think it looks like a white stripe. That's it, gang. Say bye to your fans. Bye-bye, guys. Thanks. A short time after we mixed up some art resin and poured a nice, clear coating over each piece. Now it's up to you to decide who wins the challenge. Is it Dave's I Heart Love piece, Dan's Home Under the Sun, or Rebecca's White Stripes? Vote in the comments below for your favorite and stay tuned for the results. Thanks for watching.


It's true. The percentage of households who have kids that are dual career is higher now than it has ever been, even with what we saw in the pandemic of many women stepping out of the workforce. And so hopefully, you have had some conversations before you added in kids and, you know, career decisions to have be on the same page about what you want. If both people are very intent on pursuing a career alongside having kids or even if you don't have kids, other priorities, right? People want to be the best aunts and uncles as possible. They might have caregiving responsibilities for older parents or other relatives. So ideally, you've had these discussions early on. But if not, then I think it's important to start as soon as you can to talk about what are all the elements that go into running a house and a family if you have kids or other caregiving responsibilities. We have an exercise in the book that was actually adapted from one that Myra used to give in her course, which was, she used to call it a bargaining exercise that listed, you know, a handful, maybe 10 to 15 tasks that are involved in running a household and family life. And she put that in actually, because a lot of the students in her class grew up, exactly as you mentioned, not, you know, seeing either one parent handle everything, or if they were from a different country, they had help who was were handling all those things. And so coming now to the situation where you're being asked to divide things up equally, it's like, Well, how does that work? I mean, how do so having a having these conversations to say, Hey, first of all, what's important to us? Let's again, back to the clarify, if it's not important to us that our kids go to every birthday party they're invited to, let's cross that off the list. Let's just say like, you can choose one friend, you who is, you know, the friend whose birthday party you don't want to miss. And then we're going to say, No, thank you to all the other ones. I remember when somebody said that that was their approach, it was like, Oh, my God, you can do that. Like I hadn't, it hadn't occurred to me that you could just decline. But again, if you don't want to spend every weekend, I have two elementary school kids, right, I could spend every weekend, you know, dragging myself to party after party. And the truth is, as a family, we're much happier when we're hiking. And so we have to actually clarify that value to be able to say no to things, and then be able to cross things off of those short lists. And the exercise that we talk about is helpful to do, you know, certainly if you don't have any kids, we did it in the class with a partner. And the truth is, when you make different incomes, when you have other circumstances, you know, there are different dynamics that you need to negotiate. So having those conversations early and then checking in my husband, I have a check in every week on sort of how are we dividing the pickups, the drop offs, the, you know, other things that come up, what are we going to let go of, right? And then we have, you know, we try to have, we aren't always as consistent every year, but like at least an annual bigger picture check in of, okay, what is feeling, is everything feeling equitable? And we used to actually go through this on the drive down to Palo Alto to be in Myers class to say, Oh, we're about to talk about our marriage in front of, you know, students. So can we just check it on that? So no surprises come out in the class. And that was actually resulted in some of the read some redistribution of, of tasks that, you know, maybe I was taking on, but feeling resentful. And, and he was like, Oh, okay, well, I can do this. And actually, this happened when I went back to work, after we had our first son, and I wanted to nurse as much as I could. And that meant pumping at work. And I was in a new job. I was pumping three times a day while I was at work. And then I would come home. And I was like, I just, this is absurd. I have all these parts that have to be cleaned. And like, you know, it was very intense. And he said, Okay, you're feeding him. So I will feed us. And he actually took all of the food on. So the shopping, the meal prep, the, like, you know, preparing the food, and, and just knowing that I didn't have to think about food for anyone other than my infant was so freeing. And so that could be a really powerful thing to do regularly, especially as you're in different phases of life. And as you said, career opportunities come up. And that might mean someone's less available than they were. And so not just going through with a simmering resentment that could build into something, you know, more problematic, but having a regular check-in where you talk about how things are going and what might be redistributed.
