Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we discuss the following question which says like a bar graph of an experiment of tossing an ideal coin six times where the preferred outcome is head. If we suppose P to be the probability of success of an event and Q to be the probability of failure of the event in one trial and suppose there are n number of trials if the number of successes denoted by the random variable capital X is 0 that is in one trial there is no success then in that case the probability P would be given by mc0 into P to the power of 0 into Q to the power of n minus 0 which is n and this is equal to Q to the power of n and in case if the number of successes is 1 then the probability would be given by mc1 into P to the power of 1 into Q to the power of n minus 1. If number of successes is 2 then the probability is given as mc2 P to the power of 2 into Q to the power of n minus 2. If the number of successes is cr then probability is ncr into P to the power of r into Q to the power of n minus r and if the number of successes is n then probability is mcn into P to the power of n into Q to the power of n minus n that is 0 and this is equal to P to the power of n. This is the key idea that we use in this question. Let's proceed with the solution now. So in this experiment we are tossing an ideal coin 6 times so the number of trials in this case that is m would be equal to 6. Now P that is the probability of success would be the probability of getting head this would be equal to 1 upon 2 or you can say 0.5. Now Q is the probability of failure that is the probability of not getting head would be equal to 1 minus P that is 1 minus 0.5 which is again 0.5. Probability of not getting head means probability of getting a tail. Now then the following cases would arise first we would have 6 tails that is there would be no head so in this case as there is no head number of successes would be 0 and the probability would be 6C0 into P that is 0.5 to the power of 0 into Q that is 0.5 to the power of 6 minus 0 which is 6 and so this is equal to 0.5 to the power of 6 which is equal to 0.015625. Consider the next case in which we get 1 head and 5 tails. Now as there is 1 head so number of successes is 1 and so in this case the probability would be given as 6C1 into P that is 0.5 to the power of 1 into 2 that is 0.5 to the power of 6 minus 1 that is 5. So this value will come out as 0.09375. Now the next case in which we have 2 heads 4 tails in this the number of successes would be 2 as there are 2 heads and so the probability would be given by 6C2 into 0.5 that is P to the power of 2 into Q that is 0.5 to the power of 6 minus 2 that is 4 and this is equal to 0.234375. Now the next case in which we get 3 heads and 3 tails in this the number of successes is 3 so there are 3 heads and the probability would be given as 6C3 into 0.5 to the power of 3 into 0.5 to the power of 3 and this would be equal to 0.3125. Let's consider the next case in which we have 4 heads and 2 tails in this case the number of successes is 4 as there are 4 heads and so the probability would be given as 6C4 into 0.5 to the power of 4 into 0.5 to the power of 2 and so this would be equal to 0.234375. Now the next case in which there would be 5 heads and 1 tail so number of successes would be 5 as the number of heads in this case are 5 and so the probability would be given as 6C5 into 0.5 to the power of 5 into 0.5 to the power of 1 and so this would be equal to 0.09375. Now consider the case in which we get 6 heads so the number of successes is 6 here and so the probability would be 6C6 into 0.5 to the power of 6 into 0.5 to the power of 0 and so this would be equal to 0.015625. Now we will draw a bar graph using this table. Now when the number of successes that is number of heads is 0 then the probability is 0.015625. This rectangular bar shows the number of heads as 0 with probability 0.015625. Next we have if the number of heads is 1 then the probability is 0.09375. This rectangular bar shows the number of heads as 1 and having probability 0.09375 then we have if the number of heads is 2 then the probability is 0.234375. So this rectangular bar shows the number of heads as 2 and the probability is 0.234375. Now when the number of heads is 3 probability is 0.3125. So this rectangular bar indicates the number of heads as 3 and probability 0.3125. For the number of heads 4 probability is 0.234375. So this rectangular bar is indicating number of heads 4 and probability 0.234375. For the number of heads as 5 probability is 0.09375. This is the rectangular bar indicating number of heads as 5 and probability as 0.09375. Now if the number of heads is 6 then the probability is 0.015625. So this rectangular bar shows number of heads as 6 and probability as 0.015625. So this is the bar graph for the experiment of tossing an ideal coin 6 times when our preferred outcome is head. This completes the session. Hope you have understood the definition of this question.


So let's take a look at trigonometric functions beyond the right angle. So let's consider this trigonometry in the unit circle. Suppose our angle has been moved into standard position. So remember that's going to have the vertex at the origin, one side on the positive x-axis, and other side wherever it ends up. Now let's consider a unit circle centered at the origin. That's a circle with radius 1 centered at the origin. The terminal side of the angle will intersect the unit circle at some point b. And since we're on a set of coordinate axes, we can say that this point b has coordinates x, y. Now let's consider this coordinate a little bit more carefully. If the point b has coordinates x, y, then this vertical line, b, c, has length y. Likewise, this horizontal line, a, c, has length x. And a useful rule in mathematics is look for the right triangle. Since b, c is vertical, that means that this angle b, c, a is a right angle, and so a, b, c is a right triangle. Now we know a, c is x and b, c is y, but what about this third side, a, b? Well remember, that's the distance between the center of the circle and the point on the circle, and since this is a unit circle, the radius a, b has length 1. Now since a, b, c is a right triangle, we can talk about the sine, cosine, and tangent of this angle a. So the sine of a is going to be the length of the opposite side divided by the length of the hypotenuse. That opposite side has length y, and the hypotenuse, because it's the radius of the unit circle, has length 1. So the sine is y over 1, or just y. Similarly, the cosine of the angle is the adjacent over the hypotenuse, and that's going to be x over 1, or just x. And finally, the tangent is going to be the opposite over the adjacent, and that's going to be y over x. So now let's change our viewpoint slightly. Suppose angle a is in standard position. Let b be the point where the terminal side intersects the unit circle with coordinates x, y. Then the sine of a is equal to y, the cosine of a is equal to x, and the tangent of a is equal to y over x. And what's useful to keep in mind here is while this was determined by assuming that this angle a was an acute angle, we can still find these values x, y, and y over x, whatever the measure of the angle a is. And this allows us to introduce the following. Let theta be an angle in standard position and let its terminal side intersect the unit circle centered at the origin at a point with coordinates x, y. Then the sine of theta is y, the cosine of theta is x, and the tangent of theta is y over x. Now we have to find sine, cosine, and tangent for any angle theta. But the other trigonometric functions can also be defined in terms of sine, cosine, and tangent. And so this allows us to define the rest for any angle theta. secant theta is whatever cosine. cosecant is whatever sine. And cotangent is whatever tangent. So let's go back to our nonsense question, what is the sine, cosine, and tangent of 120 degrees? And so what we might do is we might start by drawing an angle with a measure of 120 degrees in standard position. This angle meets the unit circle at some point x, y. Since we don't know the value of x or y, we should. We should say what we can about it. Remember, it's better to speak the truth that you know than to not say anything at all. So remember that if we put our angle A in standard position and B is the point where the terminal side intersects the unit circle with the coordinates x, y, then the sine of the angle is y, the cosine is x, and the tangent is y over x. Now if we look at where this point is, we see that because we're over here on the left side of the y-axis, x is less than zero. But equals means replaceable. If cosine of 120 is equal to x, then any time we see x, we can replace it with cosine of 120. And so that tells us that the cosine of 120 degrees is less than zero, it's negative. Likewise, we see that this point is above the x-axis, which tells us that y is greater than zero. And since sine of 120 degrees is equal to y, equals means replaceable, any time you see y, you can replace it with sine of 120. And so we know that sine of 120 degrees is greater than zero, it's positive. And finally, let's consider this y over x because y is positive and x is negative, y over x is going to be less than zero, it's going to be negative. And equals means replaceable, y over x is the same as tangent 120, and so we know tangent will be less than zero, it will be negative. While we could stop here, there's a useful thing to remember. Knowledge is power. Answer the related questions. In this case, we've learned something about the cosine, and tangent of 120 degrees. But we know that the sine, cosine, and tangent are related to the secant, cosecant, and cotangent. They are in fact the reciprocals of these functions. And so once we know the cosine of 120 is negative, then we know that the secant, which is one over cosine, is going to be negative. Likewise, we know that the sine is positive, and so the cosecant is going to be positive. The tangent is negative, and so the cotangent is negative. What if we go the other way? Suppose we know that the sine of an angle is positive and the tangent is negative. What can we say about the angle? Well, again, if we put the angle in standard position, then its terminal side intersects some point B on the unit circle with the coordinates x, y, where the sine is y, the cosine is x, and the tangent is y over x. Since the sine is positive, then we know that the sine is greater than zero, and equals means replaceable. y and sine theta are the same thing, so we can replace sine theta with y, and we find that y is greater than zero. Now we also know that tangent is negative, and since tangent equals y over x, we can replace tangent with y over x, and we know that y over x is negative. Now we know y is greater than zero, y is positive, so in order for y over x to be negative, x must be less than zero. That's because in order for a quotient y over x to be negative, y and x have to have opposite SIGN signs. So if y is positive, x has to be negative, and equals means replaceable, so incidentally this tells us that cosine also has to be negative. As far as the angle is concerned, we're at a point where y is positive, and x is negative, and that puts us someplace in the second quadrant. And that means that our angle has to be somewhere between a quarter of a turn and a half turn, someplace between 90 degrees and 180 degrees.


Wow, y'all look beautiful Look at whatever place you want a Country city a building a wordpress backend If you happen to be a local in that place you can choose to actively take impact on the experience other people That is non locals will have in and with that place To me that place once was the central post office of Sofia Bulgaria And the local who would take impact on my experience there was an elder lady running a newsstand in said post office So I enter the post office on Tuesday morning 8 a.m I've come to post a parcel to Germany only to realize that neither am I able to read the Cyrillic signage All around not as anyone in that place understand let alone speak a word of English or German Getting increasingly freaked out I spent the next 20 minutes running toe and throw the whole standing in line here and there in order to find the right counter to post my Parcel Every counter I go to turns out to be wrong. Nobody speaks my language I got a catch a cap to the airport stress hormones all over my neocortex. You get the picture After 20 minutes it is that lady from the newsstand who decides to take action and change that it is life forever She takes a look at my package and starts walking me towards the right counter Which happens to be located outside the building in another building two blocks down the street That lovely old lady wasn't the president of post Bulgaria or something She wasn't even a staff member in the post office. She just happened to run a newsstand in that building Yet she was the one who would make it her responsibility To take care of my needs when I couldn't seem to find my way around the place My experience as a first-time user of the central post office software Bulgaria and of Bulgaria in general Will forever be determined by an amazingly simple act of human kindness Performed by a stranger who chose to do something. Nobody had told her to do and nobody would ever blame her for if she had not done it to care This is the talk about you. I hope some of you the person who develops a WordPress plugin and Your relationship to a person who uses your plugin on their website It is to talk about real people not abstracted personas. There's no such thing as the average user in this talk This talk is about real people facing a real apocalypse on their computer screen when they activate yet another WordPress plugin and all of a sudden Where they used to be a website they see a blank page and the sky starts falling We talk about real people who've been told they need to set up a website in order to run their micro businesses And they've been told it's going to be easy and when they do it soon becomes hell on earth Just because of a bunch of pixels. They cannot seem to control We talk about real people Who end up blaming random support agents or worse themselves For a problem that might not even exist for professional web developers yet had has the power to destroy hours of their work nonetheless We talk about real stress points on a real scale that takes real effects on the real health situations of real humans on both sides of a Support inbox we talk about people losing money self-respect respect of others or even their customers We talk about all these things because this is a talk also about WP admin a highly popular user interface open and subject to defacement Now we're going to see some specific UI examples toward the end, but right now in order to better understand what is going on here Let's take a look at the state of WP admin in 2016. First of all, we have heard it is going away we probably all agree the rest API offers exciting opportunities and De-coupled WordPress make might WP admin increasingly irrelevant in terms of its UI in the future now secondly WP admin isn't going anywhere, of course There's a majority of millions of real people out there who are and will be stuck with WP admin for years to come Those people we may not see at the word camp We may not even see them asking for help in the WordPress community forum on WordPress org Yet, they are the ones who made and continue to make WordPress the most adapted open source theme as in the world They secure our jobs for most of the plug-in developers among you. Those people are your market So it's definitely worth the time taking a closer look at what kind of experience they get with WordPress and plug-in UI on a daily basis Now when we explore WP admin as a user interface We soon notice four types of user messages providing feedback on how things are going. These are success something went well error something went wrong warning Something needs attention or it might cause problems in the future and Info something of neutral quality a person probably just would want to know about You won't know these types of messages we call them admin notices due to the hook names They are accessible by from outside WordPress core in fact Many of those are really setting errors by definition, but let's keep it simple and call them admin notices here WordPress itself uses admin notices only to communicate system-related feedback things like plug-in activated settings safe post publish update available an error occurred Plug-in developers are ever are free to use the same types of messages via hook Whenever and for whatever purpose they see fit So we see plugins generating admin notices for instructions to install other components so-called recommended plugins compatibility warnings Critical update notes up sale teasers cross-sell promos rating next and we're not talking edge cases Take this from a customer support agent who gets to look at an average of five to ten real-world WP admins in all kinds of languages per week it has become the rule in 2016 to have plugins Stuff in WP admin was sometimes well-meaning, but misguided sometimes plain abusive admin notices Now this becomes particularly interesting when we look at the states of human emotion Related to those four message types Again success something went well. That's relief Error something went wrong. It's fear Warning something needs attention alertness and Info something of neutral quality. That's a shortness as So many plugin developers seem to be convinced that any message important enough to themselves their strategy or their plugin in general Is worth an admin notice and don't seem to care at all about what kind of chemistry those Messages may invoke in the people they try to communicate to the natural consequence is people stop caring as well It has become very very hard to get a user's attention in WP admin When you gamble on and I'm saying that word now user attention, you can only lose and everyone loses with you Being bombarded with dozens of messages from dozens of plug-in people learn quickly not to give a shit Hence even critical critical messages get overlooked stuff breaks and the drama is on Losing a reputation is incredibly easy these days when you run a business based on a WordPress plugin Now plugins and what they do to WP admin or not in terms of UI are absolutely Significant for the interactive experience people have with WordPress as a CMS To a great extent WordPress is what it is because of plugins It is what it is because of you the people who make plugins you bring every possible and impossible functionality from this world In the next into WordPress Many enhancements of WordPress start out as a plug-in and if you the plug-in creators in this community Won't make an effort to keep WP admin neat and clean and usable for the people who use your products will who will There will always be jerks, of course, but my question today is why do even the well-meaning among plug-in providers? Seem to struggle with core concepts of basic interaction design more often than rarely Now to answer that question. Let me fall back on the good old tradition of mind reading for a moment I've been trained as a mind reader by an old Apache tracker That's a native American not a server too So while I'm up here speaking I've been reading all of her minds first of all you think you know WP admin inside out Or some of you may think that but do you really? Unless you check in on customer systems regularly chances are you develop in a standardized environment that has little to do With what WP admin looks like out there in the wild And secondly many of you develop your plugins as if it is the only one people are ever going to install It's not They probably have Yoast and Jetpack Increasingly WooCommerce some sort of security berserk and even want more than one of those a caching solution a page builder and One of the other megaton of sliders custom post times add integrations tracking scripts social pluckets form builders Ecommerce extensions and shortcut generators. You might want to take into consideration that WP admin is not your home It is a shared apartment And you have little to no control over the number of people you will have to live with Nor whether you get the king-size bed or that met underneath the kitchen table Thirdly some of you still let yourself get away with the assumption that people are okay figuring out how stuff works once they activate your plug-in They are not In 2016 people don't figure out how stuff works anymore people expect stuff to figure out itself so they can just go ahead and use it They may find your settings page because you place it in that top Level menu item and then you bumped up its priorities, so it'll appear even above jetpack, but what man These days people expect the user interface to really talk to them and let them know what they can do and not Apps on your phone do that all the time great web applications do it all the time Do we really think we are gonna get away with WordPress plugins just throwing the settings page into the left side menu and calling it a day Human beings and their interactions with user interfaces are subject to studies and incredible marketing budgets Let's break it down to common sense here people interact with people When a human interacts with the user interface on their computer screen What they really do most of the time is trying to figure out the thinking of another human or groups of human The ones who build that interface and to try to anticipate the thinking of the very person who's now trying to make sense of their Thinking in order to use their creation effectively. It's a complicated mess, but it can become the most beautiful thing When we manage to create a state of understanding and agreement on both sides of the computer screen all the way through time and space We all know that feeling When we see something working on the screen and we suddenly realize hey Somebody took care of me When they created that thing somebody spent time and effort in the past to make my life easier today. Wow That is a wonderful feeling, isn't it? That state of understanding and agreement is someone the holy grail you want to reach as a plugin developer And before we finally dive into some specific examples, let's take another quick look at caring in general There is a reason why I picked the term caring over UX buzzwords like empathy or just recently compassion and I hope you really Visited that talk this morning from Morton right there about empathy If not, I highly recommend you look it up on where Pustui once it's published Because he did away with all the buzzwords thing and just talked about empathy Not to care is a verb. It is a do word You can excuse yourself that you just don't have enough empathy or you may tell yourself that you just aren't that compassionate all the time You have no excuse when you don't care insult is implicit Not to care means not given hack. It's a synonym for consciously chosen ignorance Caring is one of those things you either do or you don't like picking up that piece of paper There's no way to pick that up just a little. He either pick it up or you don't There's no way of wanting to care Your inner attitude is irrelevant until it shows outside of yourself by evidence of your actions You don't care until you do Now I'm sure all of your developers out there do care about the experience people have with your plug-in and I'm sure it's awesome But here's some food for thought How much of that ladies newsstand would exist without the post office How much of your plug-in would exist without WordPress how much of your plugins your eye would exist without WP admin? How much of awesome will be left for your plug-in when the overall experience a person has with WP admin becomes annoying or even painful? Do you care about the experience people have with WordPress? Caring through plug-in your eye clink can include the same sort of small simple acts of human kindness that I was blessed to Experience in that post office back in Sofia And the good news is WordPress offers plenty of opportunity throughout the eight states of the plug-in Lifecycle for you to make WP admin an even nicer experience In case you never thought about the plug-in lifecycle before here it is Search install activate configure operate update deactivate delete Got it again Search install activate configure operate update deactivate delete Each of these states usually invokes or implies certain interactions between a user interface within WP admin and a human Interactions that you can take care of proactively Just like that lady from the newsstand in that post office as a local in WP admin You would basically make it your responsibility that a person gets along well You don't want to take them on a sightseeing tour through all of WP admin Of course, it's theirs. You're the new kid on their block You do want to make sure though that they find their way around in terms of using your plug-in When they search for a solution to their problem give them a meaningful description in their search results Your plug-in short description is not the place for generic superlatives the best the most the greatest the easiest Those are not descriptions people would draw any value from for their decision-making Besides you're setting yourself up for failure. It's incredibly easy to fail being the whatever's Write your short description as if you were composing a good tweet Say what your plug-in does and why people would love it and a hundred forty characters and be a little entertaining at the same time There isn't anything for you to do during installation what this takes care of that But once the person does activate your plug-in, that's when you can store score with an excellent first impression Be nice and say hi Give them a clue of what to do next Take them on a quick tour and show them around but make sure you keep them in control over their space They should be able to dismiss that tour for everyone forever Or have it pop up again later if they want If your plug-in has a great deal of settings to configure consider providing some sort of guidance through the initial process Where press itself has a pretty neat setup wizard who commerce has a great one. Could your plug-in use one? If it require if it requires certain setting to be made before a person will be able to use it a quick and decent wizard We'll take that person by the hand and guide them along. Oh, yeah, and that that undo link for safe setting is so annoying said no use and never Once a person has configured your plug-in to run on their website The only thing they would expect from it is that it keeps operating smoothly That is a fair expectation You wouldn't expect your car to display car manufacturer Advertising on the windshield every thousand kilometers or so so don't have your plug-in do that If you think you need other people's WP admin to market your product then at least be creative about it Make your upsell a feature instead of contributing to notice fatigue Create an eye catcher on your settings page that will entertain and provide value and of course keep those Agencies and freelancers in mind who would desperately want a paid version of your plug-in Where upsells will not be displayed for their clients Maybe white label or something now you get a chance to use To get user attention in WP admin about three times a year at least Every time WordPress issues a major core update you can and should run at least a compatibility update to let people know Your plug-in has been tested and will operate smoothly with the new core version That's the time for you to show that you care for plug-in UI Don't just fart that admin notice into people's faces together with the other five admin notices in the top 700 pixels of WP admin Make your update a feature to like show that you care for your people's peace of mind Allowing you to enter their website and perform an update is an incredibly vulnerable moment for most people Have your plug-in automatically detect and solve as many potential issues as possible Carry means to protect your kin Don't let them click that update button and take their chances whether the website is going to survive or not Plug-in authors gambling on system sanity doing the update process contribute to serious problem in WordPress Which is update paranoia as a plug-in developer You want people to update in order for you to be able to keep marketing to them So there's your incentive to make trip assure your update won't break their site And in case it does provide means of immediate crisis management and support It may only be another complaining user to you, but in fact, there are real people in real fear and pain Breeze, that's a good idea In case a person keeps your plug-in deactivated for longer and you have the chance learning about it a polite message in the inbox might make sense People don't always have the nerve to pull up your support page and post their problem Proactively approaching them when your plug-in has been deactivated longer than a week a week can start the support process on your end And may help you can win a customer back Better make clear though that this is solely out of concern for you users needs not for your marketing When your plug-in gets deleted from WP admin the expectation is clearly that it gets deleted delete it as in wiped out completely Files gone options gone custom tables so gone Don't fall trapped to the assumption It wouldn't hurt if a person installed your plug-in again after they deleted it and all their settings would just magically reappear that magic is reserved for Deactivation if you absolutely think your users would love to keep your custom tables and options in their database after deletion Put them in control and make total deletion transparently optional right before the activation maybe So there's lots of opportunity for plug-in developers to really care It may sound like a lot of work But another part of the good news is there are no wheels to reinvent here. Just look around and learn from the best There are plenty of examples of great interactions design out there pretty much all you have to do is explore them play with them Determine how those products apply caring as a design principle coach your own Interactional features into your plug-in and eventually build your reputation as the plug-in provider who whose UI in WP admin clearly shows they care WordPress has become a mature platform for better and for worse WP admin is and will be open for you to create plug-in user interfaces with It is your choice whether your plug-in will make WordPress look pretty or old In any case whether you like it or not your plug-in is not a separate entity it is part of a community of components and Actively or passively it will contribute to the way people perceive WordPress as a whole Think about that for a while and come to your own conclusions Hopefully you find caring the coolest thing you've seen anyone do including yourself The title of that talk is quoted from a peanuts cartoon. I saw on the tweet Thanks to Charles and Charles and the unknown person who put this on the web first whoever that is My name is Casper Hueminger. I'm a plug-and-support agent at WP media The people will build plugins like WP rocket imagine fine sequel press and I show care to answer your questions here Or at the happiness bar


From around the globe, it's theCUBE with digital coverage of DockerCon Live 2020 brought to you by Docker and its ecosystem partners. Hey, welcome back everyone to the DockerCon virtual conference DockerCon 20 being held digitally online. This is theCUBE's coverage. I'm John Furrier, host of theCUBE. This is theCUBE virtual, Cube Digital. We're getting all the remote interviews. We're here in our Palo Alto studio quarantined crew all getting the data for you. We've got Peter Quagenti, who's the chief marketing officer of Cockroach Labs, a company that we became familiar with last year. They had the first multi-cloud event in the history of the industry last year, notable milestone. Hey, first is always good, you're still around. So first you got the first position. Peter, great to see you. Thanks for coming on theCUBE for DockerCon 20. Thank you, John. Thanks for having me. So it's kind of interesting. I mentioned that tidbit to give you a little bit of love on the fact that you guys ran, who are part of the first multi-cloud conference in the industry. Okay, now that's all everyone's talking about. You guys saw this early. Take a minute to explain Cockroach Labs, why you saw this trend, why you guys took the initiative and took the risk to have the first ever multi-cloud conference last year. So that's news to me that we were the first actually. That's a bit of a surprise because for us, we see multi-cloud and hybrid cloud as the obvious. I think the credit really for this belongs with folks like Gartner and others who took the time to listen to their customer, right? Took the time to understand what was the need in the market, which what I hear when I talk to CIOs is cloud is a capability, not a place, right? They're looking at this and saying, yes, I have a go to cloud strategy, but I also have made massive investments in my data center. I believe I don't want to be locked in yet again to another vendor with proprietary APIs for proprietary systems, et cetera. So what I hear when I talk to customers is I want to be multi-cloud, show me how, show me how to do that in a way that isn't just buying from multiple vendors, right? Where I have cost arbitrage, show me a way where I can actually use the infrastructure in a creative way. And that really resonates with us and it resonates with us for a few reasons. First is we built a distributed SQL database for a reason, right? We believed that what you really need in the modern age for global applications is something that is truly diverse and distributed, right? You can have a database that behaves like a single database that lives in multiple locations around the world, but then you also have things like data locality. So you can say, okay, with German data, stays in Germany because of German law, you know, but when I write my application, I don't want to write to different, each of these things differently. Now, the other reason is customers are coming to us and saying, I want a single database that I can deploy in any of the cloud providers, you know? Azure SQL is a phenomenal product. Google Spanner is a phenomenal product, but once I do that, I'm locked in. Then all I have is theirs. But if I'm a large global auto manufacturer or if I'm a startup that's trying to enter multiple markets at the same time, you know, I don't want that. I want to be able to pick my infrastructure and deploy where I want and how I want. And increasingly, you know, we talk to the large banks and they're saying, I've spent tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars on data centers. I don't want to throw them out. I just want better utilization than the 15 to 20% that I get from deploying software on bare metal, right? I want to be able to containerize. I want to be able to, you know, cloudify my data center. And that have ultimately what we see more and more is what they call a tripod strategy where your own data center and two cloud providers behaving as a single unit for your most important applications. That's awesome. And I want to thank you for coming on too for DockerCon 20 because this is an interesting time where developers are going to be called to the table in a very aggressive way because of COVID-19 crisis is going to accelerate and certainly pull the future forward ahead of most people thought. I mean, we in the industry, we are inside the ropes, if you will. So we've been talking about, you know, stateless applications, stateful databases and all the architectural things that's got that longer horizon. But this is an interesting time because now companies are realizing from whether it's the shelter in place at scale problems that emerge to the fact that I got to have high availability at a whole nother level. This kind of exposes a major challenge and a major opportunity. We're expecting projects to be funded, some not to be funded, things to move around. I think it's going to really change the conversation as developers get called in and saying, I really got to look at my resources at scale. The database is a critical one because you want data to be part of this data plane, if you will, across clouds. What's your reaction to this? Do you agree with that? The future has been pulled forward and what's Cockroach doing to help developers manage this? Yeah, John, I think you're exactly right. And I think that is a story that I'm glad you're telling because I think there's a lot of signal that's happening right now but we're not really thinking about what the implications are. And we're seeing something that's, I think, quite remarkable. We're seeing within our existing customer base and the people we've been talking to feast or famine. And in some cases, feast and famine in the same company. And what does that really mean? You know, we've looked at these graphs for what's going to happen, for example, with online delivery services. And we've seen the growth rates and this is why they're all so valued, why Uber invested so big in Uber Eats and these other vendors. And we've seen these growth rates and saying, this is going to be amazing in the next 10 years we're going to have this adoption. That five to 10 years happened overnight, right? We were so desperate to hold on to the things that are what matter to us and the things that make us happy on any given day. You know, we're seeing that acceleration, like you said, it's all of that, the future got pulled forward, like you had said, that's remarkable. But were you prepared for it? Many people were absolutely not prepared for it, right? They were on a steady state growth plan. And we have been very lucky because we built an architecture that is truly distributed and dynamic. So, you know, scaling and adding more resilience to a database is something we all learned to do over the last 20 years as data intensive applications have mattered. But with a distributed SQL and things like containerization on the stateless side, we know we could just truly elastically scale, right? You need more support for the application out of something like Cockroach. You literally just add more nodes and we absorb it, right? Just like we did with containerization where you need more concurrency, you just add more containers. And thank goodness, right? Because I think those who were prepared for those things, we work with one of the large delivery services. Overnight, they saw a jump to what was their peak day at any point in time now happening every single day. And they were prepared for that because they already made these architectural decisions, right? If you weren't in that position, if you were still on legacy infrastructure, you're still trying to do this stuff manually where you're manually sharding databases and having to increase the compute under your model list, you were in trouble and you're feeling. You know, that's interesting, Peter.  I mean, I'm old enough to go back to the 80s and remember all the different inflection points. They all had their all key characteristics. I see computer revolution, TCP, IP.  There's always been that demarcation point or line in the sand where things change. But let's go back to around 2004 and then 2008. During that time, those legacy players out there kind of was sitting around sleeping at the switch and incomes open source, incomes Facebook, incomes roll your own. Hey, I'm going to just run, I'm going to run open source. I'm going to build my own database. And that was because there was nothing in the market. And most companies were buying from general purpose vendors because they didn't have to do all the due diligence. But the tech savvy folks could build their own and scale and that changed the game. That became the hyperscales in the rest of history. Fast forward to today, because what you're getting at is this new inflection point. There's going to be another tipping point of trajectory of knowledge, scale, that's completely different than what we saw just a year ago. What's your reaction to that? I think you're exactly right. What we saw, and I've been lucky enough, same like you, I've been involved in the web since the very early days. I started my career at the beginning. And what we saw with web 1.0 and the shift to web 2.0, web 2.0 would not have happened without open source. And I don't think we give them enough credit if it wasn't for the lamp stack, if it wasn't for Linux, if it wasn't for this wave of innovation, and it wasn't even necessarily about rolling around. Yeah, the Facebooks of the world could go hire their own engineers to go and improve my SQL to make it scale. That was of course a possibility, but the democratization of that software is where all of the success really came from. And I lived on both sides of it in my career as a both an app developer and then as a software executive in that window and got to see it from both sides and see the benefit. I think what we're entering now is yet another inflection point, like you said. We were already looking at it. I think the move from traditional applications with simple logic and simple rules to now highly data intensive applications where data is driving the experience, models are driving the experience. I think we were already at a point where ML and AI and data intensive decision making was going to make us rewrite every application we had and that needed a new infrastructure. But I think this is going to really force the issue. And it's going to force the issue at two levels. First is the people who were already innovating in each of these industries and categories were already doing this. They were already cloud native. They were already built on top of very modern third generation databases, third generation programming languages, doing really interesting things with machine learning. So they were already out innovating but now they have a bigger audience. And then if you're a traditional and all of a sudden your business is under duress because substantial changes in what is happening in the market used to still retailers still had strength with footprint as of last year. We don't, we think about e-commerce versus traditional retail. Yeah, it was on a slow decline. There were lots of problems but there was still a strength there. That happened changed overnight, right? Now a lot of the new sources dried up. So what are you going to do and how are you going to act? If you've built your entire business, for example, on legacy databases from folks like Oracle and old monolithic ways of building applications, you're simply not adaptable enough to move with changing times. You're going to have to start, we used to talk about every company needed to be a software company. That mostly happened but they weren't all very good software companies. I would argue that the next generation is you have to be a great software company and great data scientists. Look at the software companies that have risen to prominence in the last five to 10 years. Folks like Facebook, folks like Google, folks like Uber, folks like Netflix. They use data better than anyone else in their category. So they have this amazing app experience and leverage data and innovate in such a way that allow them to just dominate their category. And I think that is going to be the change we see over the next 10 years. And we'll see who exits what is obviously going to be a downturn. We'll see who exits on top. Well, it's interesting to have you on. I love the perspective and the insights. I think that's great for the folks out there who haven't seen those ways before. Again, this way is coming. Let's go back to the top when we were talking about what's in it for the developer because I believe there's going to be not a renaissance because it's always been great, but the developers even more are going to be called to the front lines for solutions. I mean, these are first generation scale problems that are going to be in this whole next generation modern error that's upon us. What are some of the things that's going to be that lamp stack like experience? What are some of the things that you see? Because you guys are kind of a tell sign in my opinion, cockroach, because you're thinking about things in a different construct. You're thinking about multi-cloud, you're thinking about state, which is the database challenge. Stateless has kind of been around restful APIs, stateless data, service meshes. Kubernetes is also showing a cloud native and the services microservices or service orientation is the future. There's no debate on that. I think that's done. Okay, so now I'm a developer.  What's your thoughts? Well, I think the developer knows what they're already facing from an app perspective. I think you see the rapid evolution in languages and in deployment and all those things are super obvious. You just need to go and sit in on what I'm sure that all the DockerCon sessions to see what the change to deployment looks like. I think there are a few other key trends that developers should start paying attention to that are really critical. The first one and only loosely related to us is ML Ops. I think what you're, just like we saw with Dev and Ops, starting to come together so we can actually develop and deploy in a super fast, iterative manner, the same thing's now going to start happening with data and all of the work that we do around deploying models. And I think that that's going to be a pretty massive change. You think about the rise of tools like TensorFlow, you know, some of the developments that have happened inside of the pod providers. You know, I think you're seeing a lot there as a developer. You have to start thinking as much like a data scientist and a data engineer as simply somebody writing front and code, right? And I think that's a critical skill that the best developers are already building. I think we'll continue. I think then the data layer has become as important or more important than any other layer in the stack because of this. And you think about, once again, how the leaders are using data and the interesting things that they're doing, the tools you use matter, right? If you are spending a lot of your time trying to figure out how to shard something and how to make it scale and how to make it durable when instead you should be focused on just the pure capability, that's a ridiculous use of your time, right? That is not a good use of your time. We're still using 20 to 25 year old open source databases for many of these applications when they gave up their value probably 10 years ago, honestly, you know, we keep wallpaper over it, but it's not a great solution. And unfortunately, no SQL while it fixed some of the issues with scale and elasticity, it's like you and I starting a business and saying, okay, everyone speaks English, but because we're global, everyone's going to learn Esperanto, right? That doesn't work, right? So it works for a developer, but if you're trying to do something where everyone can interact, this is why this entire new third generation of new SQL databases have risen. We took the distributed architecture from the SQL. Hold on for a second. Can you explain what that means? Cause that's a, I think a key topic. I want to just call that out. What is this third generation database mean? Sorry, I speak about it like everyone sees it. I think it's super important. It's just a highlight. Just take a minute to explain it. We can get into it. There is an entire new wave of database infrastructure that has risen in the last five years and it started actually with Google. So it started with Google Spanner. So Google first was the first to face most of these problems, right? They were the first to face web scale, at least of the scale we now know it. They were the first to really understand the complexity of working with data. They had their own no SQL. They had their own way of doing things internally and they realized it wasn't working. And what they really needed was a relational database that spoke traditional ANSI SQL, but scaled like their no SQL counterparts. And there was a white paper that was released that was the birth of Spanner. Spanner was an internal product for many, many years. They released the thinking into the wild and then it just started this wave of innovation. That's where our company came from and there were others like us who said, you're right. Like let's go build something that behaves like we expect a database to behave with structure and this relational model. And anyone can write SQL, they can use it. It's the simplest API for most people with data, but it behaves like all the best distributed software that we've been using. And so that's how we were born. Our company was founded by ex Googlers who had lived in this space and decided to go and scratch the itch, right? And instead of doing a product that would be locked into a single cloud provider, a database that could be open source, it could be deployed anywhere, it could cross actual cloud providers without any hiccups, right? And that's been the movement. And it's not just us, there were other vendors in this space and we're all focused on really trying to take the best of the both worlds that came before us. The traditional relational structure, the consistency and asset compliance that we all loved from tools like Oracle frankly, right? And Microsoft who we really enjoyed. But then the developer friendly nature and the simple elastic scalability of distributed software. And that's what we're all seeing that our company for example has only been selling a product from the last two years. We found in five years ago, took us three years just to write to the software that we would be happy selling to a customer where on what we believe is probably a 10 to 15 year product journey to really go and replace things like Oracle. But we started selling the product two years ago and we saw 300% growth year over year. We're probably one of the fastest growing software companies in America, right? And it's all because of the latent demand for this kind of a tool. Yeah, that's a great point. I'm a big fan of this third wave. Could I see it? I mean, if you look at just the macro tailwinds in the industry, billions of edge devices, immersion of all kinds of software. So that means you can't have one database. I always said this when I interviewed Andy Jassy and others. You can't have one database. You can't just, it's physically impossible. You need data. And whatever database fits the scene, whatever. You want to have data being stored, but you got to have it real time. You got to have actionable. You have to have software intelligence into how to manage the data. So I think the data control plane or that layer, I think it's the next interoperability wave. Because without data, nothing really works. Machine learning doesn't really work well. You want the most data. I think cybersecurity is a great early use case because they have to leverage data fast. And so you start to see some interesting financial services, cyber. What's your thoughts on this? Can you share from the cockroach labs perspective from your database? You got a cloud. What are some of the adoption use cases? Who are those leaders? What is, you can name names if you have them, if not name the use case. What's the cockroach approach? Who's winning with it? What's the, what's it look like? Yeah, that's a great question. And you nailed it, right? The data volumes are so large and they're so globally distributed. And then when you start layering in the data streaming in from devices that then have to be weighed against all of these things. You want a single database, but you need one that will behave in a way that's going to support all of that and actually is going to live at the edge, like you're saying. And that's where we have been shining. And so our use cases are, and unfortunately I can't name many names, but for example in retail, we're seeing retailers who have that elasticity and that scale challenge with commerce. And what they're using us for is then we're in all of the locations where they do business. And so we're able to have data locality associated with the businesses and the purchases in those countries. And however, we only have single apps that actually bridge across all of those environments. And with a distributed nature, we were able to scale up and scale down truly elastically because we spread out the data across the nodes automatically. And what we see there is, retailers do have up and down moments. And you talk about people who leverage the financial structure of the cloud in a really thoughtful way. Retail is a shining example of that. I remember having customers that had 64 times the amount of traffic on Cyber Monday that they had on the average day. In the old data center world, that's what you bought from. That was horrendous. In a Kolo environment, it's still horrendous. Even in public cloud providers, if you're having to go and change your app to ramp every time, that's a problem. With something like a distributed database and with containerization, you could scale much more quickly and scale down much more quickly. That's a big one for us. Streaming media is another one. Same thing with data locality in each of these countries. You think about it, it's something like Netflix or Hulu. They have shows that are unique to specific countries. They then have that user behavior, all that user data. They want data sovereignty. What you watch on Netflix is some very rich personal data. And we all know how that metadata has been used against people before. So it's no surprise that you now have countries saying, no, there's going to be regulation around where that data can live and how. And so once again, it's something like cockroach where you can have that global distribution but data locality, where we can lock data to certain nodes in certain locations. That's a big one. There's no doubt in my mind. I think there's such a big topic. We probably do more interviews just on the COVID-19 data problem that they have. The impact of getting this right is a nerd problem today, but it is a technology solution for society globally in the future. Zero doubt in my mind on that.  Why should they engage with you guys? What can you offer? Is there anything you want to share about the company to the audience here at DockerCon 2020? Take us home. Thank you, John. I'll keep the sales pitch to a minimum. I'm a former developer myself. I don't like being sold. So I appreciate it. But we believe we're building what is the right database for the coming wave of cognitive applications. And specifically we've built what we believe is the ideal database for distributed applications and for containerized applications. So I would strongly encourage you to try it. It is open source. It is truly cloud native. We have free education, so you can try it yourself. And once you get into it, it is traditional SQL that behaves like Postgres and other tools that you've already known and loved. And so it should be very familiar. If you've come up through any of these other spaces, it'll be very natural, it's Postgres compatible, integrates to the number of ORM, so as a developer it'll just plug right into the tools you use and we're on a rapid journey. Like we believe we can replace that first generation of technology built by the oracles of the world and we're committed to doing it. We're committed to spending the next five to 10 years in hard engineering to build that most powerful database to solve this problem. Well, thanks for coming on and sharing your awesome insight and historical perspective. You've got a lot of experience. We believe and we want to share the audience that in this time of crisis, more than ever, the focus on critical nature of operations because coming out of this, it is going to be a whole new reality and I think the best tech will win the day and people will be building new things to grow, whether it's for profit or for societal benefit. The impact of what we do in the next year or two will determine a big trajectory and new technology, new approaches that are dealing with the realities of infrastructure, scale, working at home, sheltering in place, to coming back to a hybrid world. I mean, we're coming virtualized, Peter. We've been virtualized, the media, the lifestyle, not just virtualization in the networking sense but fun times, it was going to be challenging. So thanks for coming on. Thank you very much, John. Okay, we're here for DockerCon 20, virtual conferences at CUBE, virtual segment. I just want to thanks you for watching. Stay with us, we've got stream all day today and check out the sessions. Jump in, it's going to be on demand. There's a lot of videos it's going to live on and thanks for watching and stay with us for more coverage and analysis. Here at DockerCon 20, I'm John Furrier. Thanks for watching. From the CUBE studios in Palo Alto in Boston, connecting with thought leaders all around the world, this is a CUBE conversation.


What's up guys, Rex the 34, back with another epic video. What is this? Today's video, we have a four card PSA return, four epic cards, three that we pulled on the channel. No, two that we pulled on the channel. I don't know, I can't remember. And then, we're going to open up one booster box of Rage Overall. We haven't pulled the Ghost Rare Wing Dragon Overall yet, so hopefully we can pull that. Then we're going to show you guys these epic PSA cards. So before that, the giveaway. We'll be giving away a Spell Ruler Black Lusion Ritual. Soul of Fire from Force of the Breaker, and first edition Tribalize Accelerator from Force of the Breaker. There we go. All you have to do is like the video, be subscribed, and let me know your favorite PSA return card. It's going to be pretty awesome. I can't wait for you guys to see them. But let's open up this booster box. Here we go. Hopefully we can pull the Ghost Rare Wing Dragon Overall, or just the regular Wing Dragon Overall. We haven't pulled that one yet either. So that would be cool. All right. Here we go. Let's see if we can pull another Egyptian God Slime. Wing Dragon Overall. Oh, let me get this part of it. All right. Here we go. Let's see what we can pull. We pulled pretty decent in our first few boxes, but we didn't pull the big boy. So that's what we're going to try and do here. Okay. Mound of the Bound Creator. By the way, there's some really big cards in this PSA return. So I hope you guys are looking forward to it. You might know one of them based on the title. Mech Lord Assembly. It just depends. I don't know I'm going to name this yet. Maybe if we pull Ghost Rare Wing Dragon Overall, it might not be about the PSA card. Either way, there's going to be something epic. All right. Here we go. Jinzo Lord. 36 packs per box in this set. You guys saw, if you saw the video the other day, make sure you check it out. Open three booster boxes. 36 packs. Five cards per pack or else disciple. Some pretty epic cards in here, but we're still looking for the biggest card, the Ghost Rare Wing Dragon Overall, which is still over $300 last time I checked. Reboot. Which is a pretty big card. I mean, it's only one every 12 boxes, unlike the Star Lights, which are one every 25. And then also there's usually more than one Star Light per set. Sun God Unification. So that makes them even rarer, because then you have a chance of pulling a different one that you're not looking for. So when you go to like our main set, and there's five Star Lights, it's one in 120 boxes to get the one you want. Here it's only one in 12 boxes. So it is literally 10 times easier to pull the Wing Dragon Overall. There's a White Aura Bahamut. So that's another reason that the price is like 300 bucks, which is a lot, but it's not even close to something like 10,000 Dragon, which the reason 10,000 Dragon is so expensive is because a lot of people have been buying it like crazy to keep it up there. And not necessarily, it's only one in 50 for that one, because there's only two in the set. There's that and Utopia. So it's about one in 50, even though it's a little bit more common than Utopia, according to ratios and stuff, it seems like Utopia's a little easier to pull, or a little harder to pull. So really 10,000 Dragon is a unique one. Mech Lord Emperor. But most prismatics are really tuftable, so Wing Dragon and Raw is actually a lot easier than a lot of those, which is kind of weird. I've seen a lot of them pulled. A lot of people have pulled them, because one in 12 is a lot, but it's not easy to pull, but it's going to happen. Jinzo the Machine Menace. Ultra Rare, that's one we want. I think it was like six, seven bucks, not too much, but definitely one of the coolest-looking ones in my opinion. We've got a Jinzo back there to support us. Here we go. Jinzo Jector. Raw's Disciple. Come on, Merrick. Can Merrick bring us the luck? Here we go. Make sure you guys like the video and subscribe for the Epic 20,000 subscriber opening coming up. And if you want to support the channel, use my TCG Player and eBay affiliate links below. I appreciate it, guys. If you do that, it's very helpful, and it allows me to get more cool stuff for the channel.   But it was supposed to be here today, and it's not, so hopefully I'll have some stuff to do for videos. We still have some Rachel Raw, which is nice. And I haven't gotten my case of that yet either, so there's all kinds of stuff in the mail. I'm waiting on to open up. So yeah, there's some great videos coming up, but we're just waiting on the mail at this point, which kind of stinks. I hate having to do that, but you can't do anything about it. So I just got to keep waiting. The videos are going to be fun, guys. It's going to be some fun stuff. I'm telling you. Some really fun stuff. You guys are going to love it. Blaze Cannon. Ultra Rare with the Wing Dragon of Ra. Blasting out fire. That's pretty cool. All right. We are halfway through this box. We pulled the Genzo. Blaze Cannon is pretty cool. But we haven't pulled Wing Dragon of Ra itself. So can we do it? Mountain of the Bound Creator. There's just not very many rares in these legendary dual sets. It just feels like you're always pulling the same cards. All right. Mech Lord. Mind Control. Come on. Give us the fire. Monster Reborn. Sidekick Bounder. This card's super cheap. I thought it'd be worth a little bit more. But I guess nobody's playing Genzo decks really.  So it's hard to use Genzo, but it's still really cool to see it. Better for casual players and stuff I guess. Here we go. Just Skellion. Every single box I've ever opened has had this. Four boxes total. Five of those pulled. So am I shocked to see that? No. Not at all. All right. Can we get the Ghost Rare? No. Mech Lord, the Destructor. My goodness. Where is the Ghost Rare? Mind Control. Can we pull it? Can we do it? Law of the Cosmos, Super Rare. There we go. Law of the Cosmos. I feel like that's like a GX card. There's all that Sartorius era where everything was about fate and chance and all that stuff and it was like mystical and that's just what that feels like. Reactor Slime. Oh my goodness. Can we pull it to Ghost Rare? Wing Dragon of Ra. Nope. We can't. All right. I see how it is. Can we get Lucky? Here we go. Monster Reborn. Mech Lord and Detection. All right. We've got a Mech Lord army of... There's a lot of Mech Lord cards. There's another one. The True Name. We pulled this one a bunch too. Yeah, because they short print in some of the Ultras. You pull some of them over and over. Like obviously we pulled the True Name four times. We pulled Triskeleon five times. You know, it's just like every box has those in them. At least for me. Oh, there we go. Synchro Absorption.  Super Rare. All right. There are how many packs left? A few packs left. Five packs maybe? Let's see if we can pull. The Winged Dragon itself. Come on. Here we go. Reboot. Give us some luck. Give us a final pull. A big pull. Come on. How about Guardian Slime? The Slime Guy. The big, what's he called? Egyptian God Slime. Winged Dragon of Ra. Alternate Art. Winged Dragon of Ra. Ghost Rare. Okay, one pack left guys. If we pull in the last pack, that'd be pretty epic. Let's see if we can do it. Legendary Dualist. Rage of Ra. Here we go. Last chance at the Ghost for this time. Mech Lord Assembly. All right. Super Rare. That's okay. Nothing too crazy in this box. Let's see what we did get. Before we get into the PSA cards. Okay. We got some of that. Some of that. I feel like we didn't give her many Ultras. Maybe we did. We just didn't get any good ones. Maybe it was a problem. Yeah. The best Ultra we got was the Ginzo. Outside of that, these are all... Actually, he's actually not that bad. The Escalion. It's like two bucks. I mean, two bucks is good. We'll bear to a lot of them. But yeah, we didn't do too great in this one. But that's okay. We will continue to search for the Winged Dragon. Hopefully, we will pull it soon. Now, let's get into these epic cards. We have four card submission. Some big cards here. Here we go. All right. We've got a Black Luster Soldier. Envoy the Beginning First Edition. This is the one out of the collection we bought. It looks really nice to me. Yeah, it looks pretty good. And we got a Mint Nine. Just a Mint Nine. I don't know why. Honestly, this card looks... Maybe the sintering is slightly off. Like, it's a little bit larger up there. A little bit smaller down there. Is that maybe the only reason? Okay, let's focus in here. Honestly, I don't see anything else. What's the back look like? Looks pretty good there. So, not sure why that got a nine. It's kind of sad. Okay, come on. Focus. All right. Next card. The Triple Tactics Talent Starlight. Focus in. This guy looks really good. Okay, the sintering looks good. The back looks good. A Mint Nine. Another Mint Nine. Do you know why? I don't either. Why is this a Mint Nine? Look at it. The surface looks great. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe a corner down here? Let's see. Nope, that corner's perfect. So, is that one? That one looks pretty good. Wait, is that damage right there? No, I don't think so. I don't know. I don't know. I'm not sure why this got a nine, but it did. I mean, it looks incredible. Looks really good. So, I don't know what to deal with that one was. So, we got two nines. I don't know. I don't really know why. Next card. You guys know what it is. The DD Crow. Chelsea's favorite card. Yeah, you guys remember we pulled this. DD Crow. I mean, sintering looks maybe a tiny bit down right there. I don't know. Looks pretty good to me. Card looks pretty nice. Gymnit 10. Check it out, guys. Gymnit PSA. Perfect. Okay, not perfect. 10 on our DD Crow. First edition from Rise of the Duelist. That's pretty awesome. So, we got a Gymnit 10. That is incredible. Super excited about that card. It just looks really good. So, we got two nines and a 10. We have one card left. And here's a story about this one, guys. Yeah, 10,000 dragon. Wait a second. I thought you already had a 10,000 dragon and sold it. Yeah, I did. This one was at my local store. They had it up for more than retail, which was like 1,600 something dollars. But I looked at it and I was like, okay, the sintering is on. It's good. I think sintering is good. I think it has a chance at a 10. The back had... Okay, look, first of all, this case looks like they scuffed it up, which is weird, because I definitely didn't do that. Case looks scuffed up, which is kind of sad. But there was a spot on here somewhere. It was not a spot. It was like a... I don't know where it is. Oh, here it is. Here it is. Let me see if I can show you guys. There's my face. Hi. You guys see this right here? That is on the card, that circle. That's a print. They printed a circle on there. I don't know why. So, I was like, I hope they don't care about that. And I mean, it's not damage or anything. It's just a weird circle that was on there. I was like, what the heck is up with that? So, that was super weird. But I was like, surely they won't care. I really wish they hadn't done this. I wonder if this will come off. So, I sent it in, because there's a guy who messaged me, and he said, I'm looking for PSA 10, 10,000 dragon. And I was like, well, I already sold mine. So, I don't have one. He had messaged me before that. And I saw this one. I was like, this one can maybe get a 10. So, I was like, I'll risk it on it. I'll put $1,600, even though at the time the lowest on TCG player was $1,300. Like, I'll put $1,600. No, it was more than $1,600 after tax. It was almost $1,700. I'll just put it out there. I'll risk it. If it gets a nine, I pretty much wasted my time and probably lose money. So, I was like, I'll put it out there and see if we can get the 10.  And we got a 10. Yes, we got the 10. So, we got another 10, 10,000 dragon. Whoo! I was relieved at first. I was a little bit nervous. I was like, I spent that much over retail to get this card. Just because the centering on it was perfect, I was like, this should be a 10, right? You know, you would think, unless they're crazy for some reason. But the centering on it was perfect. You don't always see that on the 10,000 dragon. I was like, I'll risk it. And it paid off. It paid off. So, we did get the 10. Selling it to that guy. He said he wanted it. Whoo! So, this was pretty nice to get. It was pretty awesome. 10,000 dragon. We've graded two of them now. Pretty cool. So, I got that one. And then, of course, we got the other epic cards. This one, I really wanted to get a 10, because I thought this would be cool to have in the collection. I might re-grade the black cluster, because I don't know why this thing got a 9. I don't know why I got a 9. I don't know, really. I really don't know. It looks really good to me. So, I might re- Wait, wait, wait. What's over here? What's over this? It looks fine. I don't know. I don't know what the deal is. It looks good to me. I might re-grade that one. They both look good, to be honest. The DD Crow. Not sure what I'm going to do with that one yet. The guy, same guy, said he would be interested in that card. So, maybe if he gets this one, I'll sell him this one as well. I'm not sure yet. Let me know what you guys think I should do. Of course, you might say I should keep him, but I really would like to, but anytime I sell something big like that, it just means more openings for the channel. So, it's kind of like a... I don't want to sell everything, but sometimes I got to sell stuff so that I can buy cooler stuff, so that we can make videos. That's just kind of what I have to do sometimes. And you guys always ask, how do you pay for these videos? Well, I have to do... I have to sell stuff. Like, I can't keep everything. I can't keep all my cards. If I kept both 10,000 dragons, then I wouldn't have done a lot of the openings I've done recently. So, it helps me make more videos than you guys like to video. So, that's it for today. I hope you guys enjoyed it. A lot of talk about finance and stuff this time, not finance, but just how I'm, like, paying for stuff and stuff like that. But, I hope you did enjoy it. Rage of Raw. We haven't pulled the ghost fur yet, but I think we can do it soon. I hope. Maybe. Hopefully, we didn't get the case with no ghost.  But yeah, thank you guys for watching. See you guys later. Peace.


everyone and welcome. This is Mosal Armino with Stock Swash and Reviewing IBM. This was one of the plays of the week that was a great options trade and a great day trade. I called the 120 puts in this, the morning of the earnings pre-market on 1020 and it fell all the way down. Although you could have gotten out the day of and the following day, you could still be in it today, which is crazy. It's crazy, but it's true. So this went $7 through the strike in three days. It just kept falling. So we did a day trade in this today and also a couple of days ago here in the 20th. It's been a nice mover this week. Again, this gap down on the earnings and sold off. So this was a really, really nice trade. And today we did this in here because I was looking for something to do and I was looking for something weak and this has been on the watch list for a while. And anyways, it ended up having a nice entry in here really, which wasn't too late. We did it right in here snug as a bug. Okay. And then put the stop over the high, gave it a cushion up here and we got the drop. So you could have gotten basically more than a dollar out of this from the entry and it really wasn't too late when I saw it. And the thing is that this is still lower. So if you're willing to home through this, if you're still in it, we had such a great entry in it, you could actually still be in this and this could continue down because it did get down to 113. I don't consider this breaking it because it was only by two cents. But if it wants to break 13, it could absolutely tank today. And again, beautiful options trade as well. So if you're interested in learning the strategy that I use every single morning to rate the gaps and go through the picks, then the golden gap course is this week and October 24th and 25th. Email me and Melissa, the stockswush.com, if you would like to sign up. It has been a fantastic year 2020. It's earning season. This was such a huge week and a great start to this earning season. And the deadline for the class to sign up is tomorrow. If you just want to get the options trades, it's an email service. It's a newsletter. It's $69.99 for the year. You get all the trades for the year. You can email me if you want to sign up for that. You do not have to take the class for that, but I do think it helps. I do think it helps. And this definitely looks lower. So you just can't do anything wrong here. With the entries I'm calling, I'm calling these entries. That's such perfect timing here. Just no matter where you get out, you're up. So great week and have a great day everyone.


And most of us understand how important it is to support small businesses, right?  So we all understand how important it is to support small businesses and how money shouldn't just float to the hands of a few because if money went to only a few people, that erodes democracy because the most rich can use their campaign dollars to influence our elections, influence our minds, brainwash us essentially through advertising, etc. So we all know it's important to support small businesses, but what we often forget is that it's also important to support small creators, okay?  It's probably you, actually. It is a video maker, a blogger, a podcast maker, someone on Instagram with few followers. Basically it's anybody who is trying to create content, who's trying to share their passion, some kind of helpful message or their experience or their art on the internet, who don't have a huge following yet.  And when I say small creator, I don't mean somehow that you think small or that you are somehow less worthwhile of, no, no, what I mean? When I say small creator, I mean it's like small business. When we say small business, we don't mean a business that's not less worthwhile. We just mean it's a business that isn't, hasn't huge revenues like the corporations do, okay?  And you probably know friends who are also small creators. Now I would consider myself like a small, medium creator. I'm not just starting and I'm not a big influencer yet. So I'm a small, medium creator. But what I want, this video is really to encourage all of us to tithe 10% of our attention to small creators. Let me explain. Tithing is this idea of giving 10% away to support a good cause, okay? Tithe literally means 10. So tithing 10%. Usually people do that like the church, they give 10% to their church or they give 10% to non-profits that they care about. But what we don't think about, we think about giving our money to support causes, but what we don't think about is giving our attention, okay? So I want you to just stay with me for a moment here.  And because they get tons of comments, each comment means relatively little for them. It doesn't, it's like a drop in the ocean, whereas when you make a comment for a small creator who has no comments, for them, it's like finding an oasis in the desert. It's like they've been, they've been thirsty for days and they finally find some water that nourishes them for the next few days. That's what your comment does for your fellow small creators. So my encouragement and pleading you to do is to take 10% of your attention and give it to small creators. So here's what I mean. Okay. Let's start with our own friends. So do you have any friends that are trying to create content consistently? They're trying to write consistently or they're trying to make videos consistently or they're trying to show up on Instagram or on Twitter or on LinkedIn or on a podcast consistently? Well, think of that friend. Maybe you have two or three friends like this and think about just giving 10% of your content consumption time. Let's say in a regular day, maybe you spend, I don't know, two hours an hour, at least an hour, most of us spend an hour at least scrolling through Facebook or get this watching Netflix, watching YouTube. This is all content consumption time that you're probably giving to big corporations, to influencers that are famous, to the Gary Vaynerchuk's of the world, to the Marie Folios of the world. You're giving all this attention away to them when to them it doesn't really matter because they already have millions of followers and your attention and your comment and your like means almost nothing to them. So let's say you spend, most of us probably spend more like two hours a day. If we count Facebook, YouTube, Netflix, if some of us have Hulu, some of us have other subscription services that we watch videos, we read articles, we read our newsletters. Again, most of our newsletters come from big influencers, not from the small creators. I know some of you are subscribed to small creators and that's wonderful. So let's say you spend 120 minutes a day, giving your attention away and maybe sometimes making comments or whatever, all I'm asking us to do, make a pledge, I'm making a pledge and I hope you'll make the pledge with me to take 12 of those 120 minutes a day. I'm just asking for 10%, 12 minutes out of your day to go to one of your friends who is a small creator who is trying to work hard to build their online following, to build their presence and put a comment where they have probably no comments or very few comments. And you would be one of the only comments that they get that day, maybe that week. Seriously, it makes such a difference for them. Okay, so 10% of your time giving attention to a small creator, maybe two or three small creators. Okay, so that's the pledge that I'm making and I hope you'll make with me. Now, let me invite you to go even further a little bit. Once a week or once every couple of weeks, okay? Look at your friends who are small creators and try to spend a little money with them because they are probably creating products or services and very few people buy from them. That's why they're still a small business, a solopreneur. So every couple of weeks, just instead of only spending money on the Amazons and on the Netflixes and on all the various Costco's and the Trader Joe's and all the various things that we buy, try to spend a little bit of money on a friend who is a small creator. Yeah? Just it is such a life-giving thing for them because they're like, oh my God, I worked so hard on creating these products or services and I get one sale this week and that's from you, right? Or I get one sale and some people are getting a few sales a week but it still makes such a difference for them. Maybe it's only their one sale a month for that product sometimes. So that's the second action. The first action is to engage, to comment, to like, to comment particularly. And if you don't, if you really like the thing, share it forward. And by the way, when you comment, be supportive, say something that you really liked about what they wrote or what they said. Just like quote something they said, like, I really liked when you said this. That's all you have to say. It makes such a difference for them, okay? So engage by commenting and sharing if you really want to share that thing forward. That's up to you. Second is to try to spend a little bit of money every week or every couple, like once a week if you can, but if not, then once a month. Spend a little bit of money with a small creator buying one of their products or one of the services. And the third is to review, give them a review. And you can review them on their Facebook page, okay? If you go to a Facebook, someone's Facebook business page, there's usually a reviews tab. Go there, put a review, yours will be one of the few reviews they've gotten all month or all year, okay? Review them on Facebook. Go to their LinkedIn profile and add a recommendation for them. Again, this is a friend. You believe in their work. You know their work. You know their character. Give them a LinkedIn recommendation. Yours would probably be like one of three LinkedIn recommendations they've ever gotten. So it makes such a difference for them. So Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter is so easy, right? Tweet them. It's like, today I want to recommend and put an at tag and put their Twitter handle in there. Just a simple tweet. It takes you three minutes and can make the whole person's whole day. So Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, look them up on, get this. Go to Google Maps, okay? Bring up Google Maps on your laptop or on your phone. Type in their name and see if they have a Google business profile. Because that's how you find someone's Google business profile is the easiest way to go to Google Maps. You can also try to Google them, but sometimes it doesn't pop up right away unless you put their town also. But Google Maps put in their name. See if they have a Google profile that you can add a review to. Then you're adding a Google review for them, which, again, it's going to be one of few that they've ever gotten and they'll be so grateful to you. So Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Google, if they have a podcast, review them on iTunes, it makes such a difference for them. If they have a book on Amazon, you'll be one of the few people who review their book. Okay, so just know that if we spend just 10% of our daily or weekly content consumption time, gift that to a small creator. Start with your friends. You are really making a difference for people. You are encouraging them. You are helping them to say, you know what? My work is worthwhile and I should keep doing it. Like I said, you are like water in the desert for a small creator. Just your 10 minutes of consumption and reviewing of what they do or if you can spend a little bit of money with them. I hope this is helpful. I'm making the pledge and I hope that you will also make the pledge. If you have any comments, well, I'm not, you know, when I say all this, I don't really talking, I'm not talking about me. I'm a small, medium creator. So I don't need comments as much as some of your other friends do. So please go and do that for a friend today. All right, I wish you well. Take care.
