really not a lot of quality here today really not a lot at all so LMI is a good bearish gap I do not like the spread and I don't like the way that it's moving and I don't like the volume but I think this is gonna work today and it may be rough going in the morning but I think this is gonna go I don't think it's gonna be a fast play I have a doctor's appointment today I must leave at 10 o'clock so if I can't get in and out of something by 10 I'm not gonna be able to do anything so I don't think this is gonna be the play to do that very well could set up I thought gyro could help with the room after 10 but he's not here so it is what it is I think I'm going to watch I think I want to watch eBay I think the only fast play could be in this and there's no guarantees so kind of weird morning here because not a lot of quality and I can't trade long today and also no good shorts which is unusual considering the number of earnings out and also looking at the market this morning you would think you would think that there would be something but there's not very tricky very tricky here again I believe the market is 100% higher and very tricky here because the fact we're gapping down today does anyone have anything that they want me to quickly look at I'm gonna be flipping probably between OMI and eBay this morning one is a long one is a short if I do anything at all it'll be eBay OMI unless it comes in with huge volume right into the open I won't be doing it but I do think that works if you have something you want me to look at you better put it in the room quick didn't call it option this that was a good decision it's a very good decision and juniper flipped yesterday into the clothes so I wouldn't even watch that as a continuation today I think I did look at that but I'll look at this again in fact I know that I did but I'll look at it again here right before the open CTXS it's not even gapping it's not gapping look stock closed last night at 92 76 it's trading right now at 92 76 this is there's no gap here it's a weird weird morning because UPS isn't good either I did look at that it's unfortunate unless this has gotten better but I doubt it Facebook was down last night and I was all over that thinking that was gonna be a great short for us this morning very quickly changed my mind this morning oh this does look a lot better I don't have time to read it this looks much better than it did wow when did this happen the last 15 minutes here's where it got good alright let's watch UPS I'm trading on the fly if it sets up I'd rather I actually I'll flip between this and eBay eBay is a long this is a short if you're here in a trial I wouldn't do running today today will not be an easy day to follow me and it's got to be a fast trading day and I didn't even rate this but it after it just dropped in here the last 15 minutes made this look good it didn't look good before that all my volume it's just not enough you can tell the way stocks trading I don't know maybe we should just watch eBay though I mean I you know this looks a lot better that's true I don't know I don't know what I'm doing I have no idea what I'm doing it's not gonna be easy to follow me today if you want to sit listen fine if you want to be quick on the drawl then follow me I'll shout out what I'm doing what I'm doing it it's not gonna be easy day to follow me two things I like ones along ones are short it's very unusual what I didn't even read I think I'd rather do eBay though let's just see targets 47 in this 48 it's got to do it right away is to and if it doesn't then we're not even doing it so let's see yeah it's gonna work alright stop on this and I know the entry yet is going to be just to be safe I'm giving it a huge amount of room 4490 and I don't have the entry yet 60 by 90 eBay long if it hits here just do it just get in if you want it get the stop in 4490 4490 this is gonna go here here here we're getting one quick play thank you 46 is the first target here here here here man this is exactly what I needed today thank you with my schedule 46 46 in a flurry over and I'm out just because I got to get going today and I really gave us plenty of room that you could be in it all day I said 4748 come on pushed up there 4590 I can't watch you PS now we're in this I said this goes right away is it's good and it did and if you didn't do it you could do it here if you didn't do it you could do it right here put this stop at 4490 come on come on come on come on come on 932 beautiful quickly look at the market here quickly market is just not gonna fall it's just not going to fall gosh this thing is frozen again don't tell me here we go eBay hope everyone got it beautiful call beautiful call flurry over 46 I'm gonna be out because I have to go and everything worked out gorgeously today 47 is a real number if you want to stay in it all day I gave you the stop to do that okay there's already out people are funny 4599 and we do have the market with us here we go you always have to be a little bit little bit more patient for longs which is again obviously why I prefer to short but I knew that this had to go right away so that was the one positive thing I love I can't look at UPS right now but does anybody what did it do I'm interested to see here eBay on get over 46 go that's exactly what I needed off thank you beautiful and it was such a crap day oh my god there was nothing good today I can't believe I just did I just can't believe I just did that there was crap today is crap because it's capping down and it's really strong I am on point all right let's look what UPS did oh chicory all right let's look at this this far I do not like but this is trying to go and this is obviously going and what was the other one was the other one I liked oh no no lack of volume here and just moving very strange shoot all right is anyone still in eBay now gross it awesome thank you for the fast trade save love's making a thousand dollars we're heading to work thanks Steve you you you have to write a testimonial because you followed me for I don't know how many years before you did the class and now you're doing so great here here again if I didn't have to go today I would have held on to this at least for a buck it's going it's just because I have to leave by 10 o'clock and you just don't know I said 47 today 48 dream target eBay with the market which is green is anyone still in it javada still in it and gala had still in it green maverick still in it Fred still in it 46 22 let me just check something I did send out an option letter today people for those of you let me see if it went I sent it to my assistant for those of you in the letter do it do it do it let me see if he said it I was having computer issues this morning which even added to the stress of my morning okay what else gypsy still in it listen I didn't even have to give that that shot I just you know I figured it could be an all-day play so I I gave it a very wide stop I mean this actually was perfect look at look at how that's set up I knew it had to go right away so let's talk about the market and then Facebook and our day is complete so market gap down today showing signs of the weakness in the gap but not really you can even say neutral neutral slash bearish not really bearish didn't think we'd fall again every day that we don't really fall but also don't really rally and just make this do-do-do this line is pulling up to here and so is this so the market is showing more of a mountain look up every day that this is happening because actually when we trade down like this this morning in the gap is pulls this line up something will happen big with the market before the end of the week I don't think it's today everybody reports tonight Google Apple Amazon and I remember I said something's not going to work right well it might have been Facebook is a gap down we'll look at that in a minute but then it flipped so it's probably gonna be something else it doesn't do what it's supposed to do although Microsoft I don't think did either let's look but I really wasn't counting that in the grouping of the four yeah see that was down last night too and then it just just opened neutral Baba reported this morning and this was down I looked at it I didn't see anything there again not enough weakness certainly wasn't strong let's see where this open yeah just nothing here so this looked a lot better and wear it open but it's having trouble going so UPS I don't know here and this just is gonna fall but just very low volume starting to look a little bit better again I said later play so never thought a million years would be going long one day this week considering there was so many earnings but they just weren't any good shorts today so eBay if you're in it stops 4490 you're in it as an all-day play or you could have shaved some off or looks like you could read take it if it resets up so Facebook was down in a monster way last night and let's just look at the chart again I don't play after hours you see here how people that played out play after hours which people do just got whoppered this morning because the stock last night clearly clearly clearly look lower to every one in the planet it was at 177 10 let's go right over here I mean that is down and nowhere near making a new high and then it started to lift but this was very very late and then here was this morning so you know crazy move here by Facebook just crazy town yesterday huge move down huge move up and then making a new high almost to 195 right right very late last night this is 645 that's 545 anyways crazy town so you know really needed to wait till this morning to see where it was was up better this morning actually but where it opened was fine oh PYPL I did look at two and I didn't end up reading that but let's look at that I don't know what you mean by over the hill Gala had what that means this is selling off sloppy setup here stop really not that bad for the stock this is going I'm not going to call any more trades today because I got to shut the room down by 10 but this is going where does it go today I don't know if this starts to break 78 it could absolutely collapse but no guaranteed that'll happen remember markets holding strong today and paypal is a strong stock but you have some selling here into the gap this morning this had earnings it's been a beast for more than a year so this gap really today isn't critical for the chart here but we could have done this I actually didn't didn't rate this I'd like to eBay better of the gaps whether looking at longs and shorts and I really did like oh am I I just didn't like the volume again Gala had you're using all kinds of different things I don't use major points pivot points blah blah blah I don't I only look at the gap what was the other one the video yep sing just not enough here anyways I'll have a really quick talk here before we go we actually do have time to have a talk today which I didn't think we would Barry did you do eBay today before I have a talk Barry you're here it was a long did you go long eBay today and his apple look like crap can't wait to see what it does in the earnings Barry did you trade today I know you did yesterday and worked did you do today was long here I've been talking about all week but here's the watches for tonight in the meantime you got there late you got here late you're always here early here's tonight's PYPL broke 78 alright I'll go back and look at it it's it's late now I mean you have to watch it for a setup between now and 10 but if it broke 78 it's gonna collapse today that I can tell you yeah it's the first time you're ever late I think so Barry yep it's gonna collapse here so this worked if you did this at all anywhere I did not rate the gap it would have rated okay to watch but I still don't think it would have done this over eBay I gotta tell you though the stops in here were decent for the move here and here and this is on its way so I mean 76 75 74 this does not look good anywhere this sets up if you want to do a second trade in here today it's perfectly fine it's underway it broke 78 and not by five pennies it broke it it's just gonna go almost 50 cents so don't expect this 50 period moving average here to hold this sucker up it's going so again not a ten not it not a horrible gap for the chart but you have profit-taking in here stocks been strong so many months I mean this has been one of the strongest things in the market this PayPal new highs all every day almost almost got up to 90 for whatever reason they created it to gap down and you're having profit-taking in this today so this is selling action it's real and here it goes it's just gonna go I would not have done this though over eBay and nor would I take a second trade in a second symbol when I got to close the room out in 15 minutes but if you know how to trade which everybody does here unless we're on a trial you can do this all day it's just a goner here today but not in the long-term chart just for the day great call thanks eBay or let's go look at it what did it do yep it lifted again so this is hey look at that you could have taken it again sorry I didn't call second trade in this again you know I told you I have my schedule today but you could have done a second trade in this here lift it again you could have got out done it again got out could still be in it so 47 is very likely for the target 48 is a dream target which you might have to be into lunch or later okay eBay has gotten rid of PayPal gone with a lending company okay PayPal was earnings though wasn't it wasn't it wasn't it here let's check it oh you know what else whatever happened to our friend Equifax speaking of let's look up PayPal because I thought it was earnings maybe I'm wrong that Equifax scandal was rigged because that never really came out nothing really happened with that the chart still looks like crap no that was guidance for PayPal yeah it was plus news let's look when Equifax is February 7th at night that's next week oh my gosh it's February today crazy how can I be February I still my Christmas tree up it's true I might be the only one all right let's go back to this any questions from anyone just really quickly here a lecture for a couple minutes punk to Gala had for a few minutes yesterday and it just made me remind everyone in here for points I think for the I think everyone is doing well I mean if you're not and you want to reach out to me you can but I think everyone is doing well for 2018 and Barry you're getting on track this week now you were late today but I think this week you're getting on track yourself Ella had switched platforms if you ever switch platforms or do something in a busy season time which it is okay this is really stuff every day right now in earning season then take the time in the afternoon to practice on a demo of the new platform or small tiny size getting used to the getting used to the platform don't do it when you're live training in the morning when you've got to hit it right and get in and get out quickly because it will distract you and I think anyone can learn a new platform within a week two weeks max shouldn't take you a month to learn a new platform you could you can learn how to buy put in a stock short put in a stock not the fancy stuff but just normal in and out whether you go long or short in a day and you know playing around with the ECNs and that kind of stuff that you can do in the afternoon but don't let it distract you when you're trading in the morning when you really got to be on point and you got to get in quick then you got to have several different keys were set up with ECNs if you're having trouble getting filled Galahad then my suggestion is the ECN is the issue pay up for ARCA you should get filled every time you press the button ARCA because they charge out the butt where did this go 46 43 anybody still on this so you know I think everyone's doing well this year and I've been making good calls and I did the tracking yesterday it had no sound I have to redo it but I counted I counted gyros calls the days he helped out which is valid because he uses the system but I mean there's been really hardly any losses this whole year I'm trying my best to stay on track and everyone should be doing good and I joked with Galahad because I said you know a monkey could be making money and here following me this year so if you are too in your head about trading then think like a monkey and I'm a hundred percent serious just press the button when I call the trade and press it when I call to get out if you're too in your head about trading because of stuff that's happened in your past then you need to you know move ahead and get out of your head about it and stop thinking just stop thinking you just need to be a monkey because a monkey could be making money in the room with me for 2018 just hitting the button when I screamed to get in and get out it'd be it's impossible for you not to be everyone not to be up really nicely since the beginning of the year monkey seeing monkey do that's right and so again I said this yesterday structures important but if you're in your head over analyzing stuff or living in the past about things that have happened with you with trades or trading or whatever or stocks certain ticker symbols whatever we do you remember things in trades past whatever it is then you need to think like a monkey just do it do it do it do it do it do it because you're missing opportunities here to take advantage of earning season the great calls I'm giving and yours no excuse so if that helps you work through it then just do it do it like a monkey Gallaudet st. He presses a key but nothing happens I think that's an excuse then if that's really the truth and you don't get filled in any trades at all you have two options a change brokers B go black to the other platform you're using before and if it costs more money an extra hundred bucks a month then then you suck it up and you pay it because it's better to get filled and get the trains and pay an extra hundred bucks a month for the platform than not to get filled at all true or false true it's again if that's an excuse it's an easy easily rectified problem every problem can be solved therefore do it mountain girl wants to be a really good monkey but that yesterday quality I'm like you see like you do I I ended up emailing gal had the same thing I don't know where that's from but it's true and you know I I'm I'm an overly analytical person myself but I will tell you that at my best in the live moment at my best I'm in sync with everything and I'm just in the knowing of it and I'm not over I'm not over analyzing it in the moment so that comes from experience to be that good without over analyzing it which some of you are not there yet but it's instinct and intuition and experience that if I'm at if I'm not in my head I'm at my best too so you know again you know the the the analyzing part happens in the morning you rate the gap then you got to turn the switch and you got to live in the moment and you got to do it when the trade set up think and use your brain when you're rating the gaps in the morning when you're rating the gaps at night when you review what you did in the afternoon when you evaluate your mistakes or things that you might have did well but in the live moment intuition counts that's where it's so important to really know what you're doing and if you don't then be a monkey if you don't know my system as well as me which no one does then be a monkey when you're here and just make the money and over time then you will move through the head games but gala had your making excuses you don't have any left switch platforms or switch brokers here this is even setting up again which is crazy Delta's same think or swim fills are terrible lately I don't know I've never used think or swim I don't think you're in sync at all gala had I think you're at your head case and you need to be a monkey you of all people should be monkey monkey town that's you starting today did you do this trade to do it get out monkey monkey monkey and by the way monkeys aren't greedy if monkeys are up in an option trade then they get out if you give a monkey a banana he's gonna eat it he doesn't need 50 bananas he'll be happy with two bananas and then he'll go back to swinging on the trees he doesn't gloat over how he didn't get the 50 bananas he's happy and two bananas next meal is in a couple hours he doesn't spend all day wondering why he didn't hold Netflix to the top of the top of the top why he didn't get 50 bananas he got fed he had two bananas next meal is in a five hours and he'll get two more bananas he doesn't spend days and weeks and hours kicking himself for not trying to get Netflix up to 282 in the highest point in the world 286 a monkey would never do that and that is exactly what you do you had a great trade you got out you need over thousand dollars was perfect trade you will kick yourself in the butt for not holding that up to some crazy number again that's not monkey monkey knows he's gonna be fed tomorrow morning tomorrow morning we're gonna get a good trade and if we don't we won't do anything then Monday morning we'll get up and we'll get fed again the banana you can't live and die by every single trade whether it's a loss or a big winner steve says I'm cracking them up today maybe say that but I wasn't when I was in the phone with him I I just I had literally I'll just say this one last thing when I was in the phone with gallon yesterday and he was whining about not getting filled in this and that and whatever I just it was just blurted it out I'm like a monkey could be making money with me in the trading room this year a monkey and then I just I mean I just thought about it and it's hysterical but it's true so it's really just getting out of your head so I don't know anyways listen have a great day everyone I've got to get going and this worked out perfectly today if you're still in it you're in it all day although I think you should be out of at least half or 75% of it with the lift it had there will be interesting to see what everything does tonight as of now I'm planning on being here tomorrow I'm not scheduled for TV but I could get a call but as of now I'll see you tomorrow morning caveman is a better analogy but caveman caveman have brains caveman still think too much probably it's the idea of overthinking Vincent that's that's the problem okay alright have a good day everyone you're welcome


Hi there, my name is Nelson and I completed the TEFL 120-hour course about four months ago and right now I currently work as an online English teacher and I want to tell you about my experience. I feel like the course really helped me in a lot of ways. It really prepared me for what lied ahead in this job and I think it is very in-depth and detailed and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their English and start teaching English. Thank you to all the mentors and administrators. They really did great. Alright now, thank you very much. Have a great day. Goodbye.


Coming up on DTNS Paypal starts taking Bitcoin, Amazon's Luna game streaming service launches. And is this the end for Quibi? This is the Daily Tech News for Wednesday, October 21st, 2020 in Los Angeles. I'm Tom Merritt. In the Salt Lake City. I'm Scott Johnson. And I'm the show's producer, Adresha. We were just talking about Quibi and some of our thoughts extended on that as well as what comes after Gen Z. That's all on good day internet. Get that wider conversation at patreon.com. Let's start with a few tech things you should know. Dropbox family plan is now available worldwide. The new plan gives up to six users access to one interface, a shared space called family room, two terabytes of shared storage and all the features of a plus account for $20 a month. For users who pay for a full year up front only pay $203.88, which averages out to be about $17 a month. As Netflix predicted its subscriber growth slowed in quarter three to a rise of 2.2 million subscribers, mixing its own forecast of 2.5 million revenue exceeded expectations, but earnings were off as well. Netflix also announced it will test a 48 hour free streaming event called StreamFest. This only happened in India though on December 4th. Acer announced several products, including a $109 smart speaker called Halo with Google Assistant and lots of LEDs coming in Q1 2021, a 14 inch Acer Swift 3X laptop with Intel's Iris Z Max discrete graphics card starting at $900 in December. The Chromebook Spin 513, the first Chromebook to run on Qualcomm Snapdragon 7C processor coming to North America in February starting at $400. New game monitors and its predator and Nitro lineups, most of them are IPS panels compatible with Nvidia's G-Sync and the Porsche Design Acer Book RS designed in partnership with as you guessed Porsche with the 11th gen Intel processors and Iris Z graphics. That one starts at $1,399 which isn't all that bad. Ubisoft is merging Uplay and Ubisoft Club into a single hub for quote in game services called Ubisoft Connect. This starts October 29th with the launch of Watch Dogs Legion. It's a big game release coming up for them. Ubisoft wants to make cross platform progression and cross play available on most of its games. Ubisoft Connect will connect or rather launch on PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch and come to Xbox Series X and S and PlayStation 5 later. So you'll have to watch for that. It will come to Nvidia's GeForce Now and Amazon Luna later this year. Facebook is testing a service in that place that always gets the coolest stuff first, Calgary, Alberta. It's a service called Neighborhoods that lets people connect to folks who live close to them. Kind of the next door clone. To join a neighborhood you have to confirm your location and agree to let others in the group see your post there. But it does not automatically grant other neighborhood users the right to see your profile info. All right, let's talk Bitcoin because Scott's here. PayPal will let US customers buy, sell and hold not just Bitcoin but also Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash which is a different cryptocurrency that's split off of Bitcoin and another cryptocurrency called Litecoin, those four to start with. They're partnering with a company called Paxos to do the wallet management for all of these features. Money and selling will roll out in the US this month with the ability to fund your purchases coming in early 2021. So right now, once it shows up in your PayPal account, you'll be able to buy Bitcoin, you'll be able to I guess send Bitcoin to your friends, but in early 2021 you'll be able to actually use them to check out at PayPal which includes 26 million PayPal merchants. Now you would use your Bitcoin for the purchase but it would be converted into dollars or euros or whatever local currency to give to the merchant. So the merchant would never see the Bitcoin, they would just get the money in the local fiat currency as it's called. That'll eventually cost you a conversion fee as you convert your Bitcoin into the local currency. Those fees are laid out there around a few percent depending on how much the amount is and PayPal will expand the features to Venmo and other countries in the first half of 2021. However, if you're converting Bitcoin into cash right now, which you can't do with merchants but you could just do in your own account, they're going to waive those fees through early 2021. Oh, and by the way, Bitcoin's price jumped 8% to almost break $13,000. It's highest point since July of last year. I was going to say that's a lot. So really what you've described and we've gotten a little more sense of it since we talked about it on our morning show this morning, it's like any other currency transfer right now. If I want to send money to a Canadian or pay for a Canadian product or European or whatever, I do that with PayPal. As far as it's concerned on my end, those are dollars going out and they're getting euros or pounds or Canadian dollars, wherever it happens to be. This is that just Bitcoin is the money you have in your account and you're paying for items and they still get those currencies, those denominations. Yeah, that's the way it will work next year. Once this is all up and running, you can have two Bitcoin in your account, which right now would be $26,000. That'd be quite a lot of money. And then if you're paying for something that's $1,000, they'll take the equivalent slice of Bitcoin out of your account, convert it to $1,000, give it to the merchant and deduct the Bitcoin from your account. But it's a way for you to use your Bitcoin to buy stuff without a merchant having to take Bitcoin. PayPal's acting as the intermediary. Paxos, if you're familiar with Coinbase or anything like that, Paxos is acting like that. They're the wallet where you can buy and sell your Bitcoin and PayPal is doing the interfacing with the merchants and everything. So Paxos is essentially providing the back end, which is the function you'll get now. What you'll get now is the ability to buy and sell the Bitcoin. In the future, you'll be able to convert it at checkout. I think that's the big innovation here is, man, PayPal, you can actually buy things with Coinbase accounts, but you have to have a participating merchant. PayPal is making that super easy. This is going to skyrocket Bitcoin usage quite a bit because instead of having to look for the places to take it, suddenly everywhere you see that has a PayPal checkout, you'll be able to use your Bitcoin holdings to pay. So do you think there's ever a day where you say, hey, Scott, I really, I'm going to buy that couch you have for sale and I'm going to give you a 10 Bitcoin for it and I'll be able to accept it as Bitcoin. And it went from your Bitcoin PayPal to my Bitcoin, Bitcoin PayPal and there was never any other dollars involved or anything. Do you think that's don't know? I wouldn't say that'll never happen. But I think that's an end consequence of a lot of other factors. I think for the, for a long period of time, it's just going to be, oh, I was able to get some Bitcoin. Oh, I want to buy a couch from Scott here. Let me convert it into $300 or whatever he's charging for it. Sure. Well, it's a nice couch moving on. So Bitcoin ain't going to save these guys. Quibi just launched apps for Apple TV, Android TV and Fire TV, but maybe hold out on downloading them unless you're really curious and just got to try a trial or whatever the information sources say NBC universal and Facebook declined to buy Quibi's catalog of video and Quibi chairman, Jeffrey Katzenberg. And according to the Wall Street Journal, during a call with Quibi's investors Wednesday, Katzenberg announced the company would indeed shut down Q of the funeral music as Norman Chan on Twitter said, Ninja lasted longer on mixer. Oh, Norm Chan and Chan getting in the burn. Well, it's it is a fact. Actually, we don't we don't know the end date for Quibi, but probably. Yeah, I feel a little bad that I never tried Quibi because it comes up on the show. We got to hurry. That's true. I can still hop in there and check it out. But somewhere someplace thought that was a really cool future for content and figured that all the kids with their phones are going to want this. And I don't know, it feels pretty misguided. So are you I guess you're probably not surprised that we're here. We knew this was all coming. I'll tell you what I am surprised about. I am surprised that they are ending it now. I thought that they would burn out the cash. They've got, according to the Wall Street Journal, something like seven or eight hundred million dollars still left to burn. And I would have expected Katzenberg to go down swinging and just just use all the money until there was no more money and say, Hey, sorry, investors. I don't know if he's under pressure from the investors not to do that. I don't know if the continuing pandemic made him realize that he could spend all the money he wants. It's not going to change the conditions soon enough. He needs people to be back out in the world to be able to fit his original business model, which is I'm waiting in line for a thing and a crowd of people. And I just want to watch something really fast, whether that would have ever worked either I'm skeptical of, but it's certainly not going to happen now. And and they're slow to get these Apple TV, Android TV and Fire TV apps up, even the ones that they they have done with Chromecast and such probably aren't delivering a whole lot of numbers. So it sounds like maybe he just, whether it was his own decision, a combination or just the investors decided, you know what, I'm just going to give you what money we have left back and you can cut your losses. All the TV apps feel like a weird last ditch kind of last breath effort because the whole point of the service was everyone's holding their phone and they're holding it this way. And we're going to give content that will feed into that. It'll be shorter, but it'll be triple A names and people, you know, and stories and directors and stuff that's cream of the crop, but not your TV and not movie theaters where you don't have that phone. In fact, you're encouraged to put it away during those experiences. So the last ditch effort toward the end say, and we're putting apps out on all these, you know, TV boxes just seems weird to me from what I was reading. One of the reasons that NBC and Facebook didn't want to buy the video was that Quibi doesn't own most of it. So most of this video that was produced will just go back to the production companies that were contracted and they'll do whatever they want with it. I'm curious if they're able to sell the turnstile technology to some people keep an eye out for that. Following up on the antitrust lawsuit that the U.S. Department of Justice filed against Google yesterday. We have some more reactions and clarifications that I think shed some good light on the situation. We talked about the basics yesterday, but now that people really had a chance to process it, protocols Emily Bernbaum notes that the suit is quite narrow. The lawsuit itself focuses just on Google text search. It doesn't focus on video. It doesn't focus on image. It doesn't focus on shopping, which has been a subject of antitrust in other places. It focuses on contracts Google has with other companies to make Google a default text search engine. The suit does not bring up Google preferring its own products in that search, which would impact cases against Amazon and Apple. So it's not going to set a precedent there. It doesn't bring up Google acquiring companies to put them out of business as competitors. That's something that would impact Facebook. That's not going to set a precedent there. That means the facts of this case are fairly unique to Google and less likely to impact possible suits against other companies. That's one thing that's important to note. The New York Times Steve Lohr also notes the focus on restrictive contracts and how that's been a successful basis for showing antitrust as far back as the beginning of the Sherman Act back in 1890. In fact, restrictive contracts against distributing Netscape was part of the winning case against Microsoft in 1998. One of the holders of a Google text search contract, Mozilla, however, says, be careful what you do. It could end up hurting us and not Google. Mozilla's Amy Keating wrote in a blog post, the ultimate outcomes of an antitrust lawsuit should not cause collateral damage to the very organizations like Mozilla, best positioned to drive competition and protect the interest of consumers on the web. So they're like, don't just say they can't do contracts or pay for stuff anymore or we run out of money. Back to protocols Burnbomb, she also notes that the suit calls out Google's use of personal information in exchange for free services. This is important because it can be used to show consumer harm.  It's not harm and consumers. So you might see the Department of Justice saying, well, they're not really getting it for free. They're giving up personal information that you then monetize. They're paying for it with their information. And the New York Times Lohr notes that Internet Explorer was also free and the US won its case against Microsoft because its practice of bundling a free browser reduced innovation and consumer choice. So that's another argument the Department of Justice can make against Google. Finally, I want to note Ben Thompson over at Stratechery has an excellent, as he always does, a writeup of this and notes the narrow focus on contracts, writing, quote, instead of trying to argue that Google should not make search results better, the Justice Department is arguing that Google, given its inherent advantages as a monopoly, should have to win on the merits of its product, not the inevitably larger size of its revenue share agreements. So if you've been out there saying, like, yeah, but isn't Google just making a better product? That's why they're so popular. The Department of Justice in the suit, according to Ben Thompson's interpretation, is saying, sure, they make a better product, but now they're staying in their position of market share, not because they continue to make a better product, but because they've locked everyone else out of the market and they should have to continue to compete on being a better product. And then if they keep their percentage, that's great. But if they're not competing on being a better product, even if they maintain quality, it's not fair. It's not allowing anyone to compete with them. While Thompson does expect that Google probably will win this case, he points out that the issues that come up in the case, how they are explored, how they are judged, will provide a template for new legislation as to, like, ah, the courts found this to be legal. We think it should be illegal and we'll make legislation to change that. Well, one thing you said during all this really kicked something off of my head that didn't come up in my head earlier when we were prepping today's show, and that is the idea or the concept of quantifiable personal information designated as currency. In other words, could any of these rulings or could any of this future be, hey, turns out the personal information we give Google is worth something. It isn't just, hey, free product. We actually are paying with the thing we previously have not quantified. But maybe we should start quantifying what that is. Name an address. OK. How about all this other info? What if it's also this info? What if it's all my login or my web traffic info or whatever it is we end up giving Google in the end? Maybe that's worth something. And that's interesting. Like it has a lot of ramifications. But that is a part of this I hadn't really considered before. Yeah, depending on how this plays out, that could be very precedent setting in other ways as well. Well, folks, if you want to talk about this or lots of other things like how much Bitcoin you need to buy a GPU, that's one conversation that's happening right now in our Discord, join on in. Link it to a Patreon account by becoming a patron at Patreon dot com slash D T N S. Amazon's Luna game streaming service opened up to users by invite only. It costs you $5.99 a month, even if you get invited, for access to around 50 games in the default Luna Plus channel. Now, channels from other game publishers like Ubisoft will eventually be available for purchase as add-ons. They're not now. Ubisoft is the only one we know is coming. It's not there yet. But if you want to get Luna Plus for $6 a month and you can wrangle an invite, you'll be able to play it on Windows, Mac, desktop browsers, Fire TV, iPhone and iPad. Not yet on Android. That's interesting. Luna Streams at 1080p. It doesn't support ray tracing, it seems like yet. Although they say they support ray tracing, the ray tracing wasn't able to be turned on in a lot of the games that reviewers were trying. So the reviews are like, this is a pretty good service. They're not raving about it, but they're not trashing it either. Yeah, it seems all right. I mean, they have one up on stadium, which is, you know, we're not charging for the games. You're paying for this service and then the service has games. And then of course there's this whole, you know, add-on thing that they'll be working with people like Ubisoft so that you can do it like you would with movies and say, well, yeah, I really like Prime, but I'd sure like to add Showtime into my list and that's a little bit like that. So those are interesting options and an interesting model to follow. The thing about ray tracing is a little confusing to me because that shouldn't be an act of the service itself or the conveyance of the game to the people. That's all the streaming tech where that should be happening is in a rack of servers that are equipped to handle ray tracing. Then the stream, it's just whatever the stream is. Well, ARS Technica has an explanation. This isn't from Amazon, this is from ARS Technica, but it says, Amazon said its Luna server stack would include Nvidia's ray tracing capable T4 GPUs, but those are from the touring generation whose ray tracing prowess isn't as robust as this year's Ampere line. Gotcha. So they just don't have the newer cards or the newer chips. And I mean, that's fine, that makes sense. Also 1080p, there are a lot of people that are like, well, if this isn't 4K 60, then I'm out. And I'm not one of those people. I think 1080p is perfectly suitable for a service like this. It's pretty suitable for almost any kind of games. And before you call me old man stuck in his old resolution, I'm just saying we're at the point of diminishing returns. Instead of worrying about 4K HDR or everything else, give me a really reliable 1080p service that comes over fast and as latency free as you can, make that the basis for your growth. If you can do better than that down the road, great. But all those promises are fine. I just think for now, just give that a really good shot. And you might actually have something here, or at least the very least a decent competitor to things like XCloud, Stadia and Nvidia's now service. So we'll see how they do.   And it just wants the thing to work. It's hilarious. You should be playing that on your iPhone and not your Android phone at first because usually this is flipped, right? You've got the whole trying to get to Apple's mess and you could get conspiratorial saying, well, they've got some deal because of their streaming services or whatever. But we know how they're doing it. They're doing it through this browser method and why they're not doing that on an Android yet. I don't know. It's a web app over at Android, but maybe that's just taken longer to get that done. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. Well, let's play a little time for, did you know? Oh, tell me. All right, here we go. App Annie released a report comparing Gen Z movie behavior. Tom, we're one of those, by the way, the Gen Zs. Movie behavior with everybody older than 25, which is, well, henceforth, be referred to as the Olds. So I guess. Well, I think we're the Olds. Are we the Olds? We're the Older than 25. All right. Gen Z are the younger than 25. Oh, I keep thinking Gen X. I did that again. My son's Gen Z. Yeah, this is how you know a Gen X or because he can't remember which letter he is. Yeah, remember, there's only three generations, boomers, millennials, and Gen Z. And then I guess there might be another one that everyone always forgets about. That's how I remember. That's how I remember it as well. All right. Gen Z spends 4.1 hours more per month on non-game apps. That's 10% longer than the Olds. Oh, I have a really good anecdotal thing to say at the end of this. However, the Olds spend 20% longer in their most used games and access them 10% more often. Hmm. So that's interesting. The Olds spend more time playing the games. What are they playing? We don't give up, move on. I don't know, maybe World of Warcraft because we're old. The most popular game category amongst the Olds are puzzle games. All right. Tops. Tops among Gen Z, action games. Both categories have simulation games as number two. Oh, look, old people and young people agree. Simulation games are almost our favorite. Yeah. Some of them are very action-oriented, though, so it leans Z, but anyway. The top apps among Gen Z were Snap, TikTok, and Discord. That order, I assume that's order of most used. I don't actually know that, but that makes sense. Well, it's actually a weirder thing. It's the most over-indexed. Oh, interesting. So there's some math behind determining, like, what's the index of usage and do they use these higher than the normal index? And that's where you get Snap and TikTok. And it goes by market. It's different in different markets. Well, speaking of that, Discord is definitely third. Snap and TikTok might be one or two, depending on which market you're talking about. And speaking of that, this is interesting. Active Gen Z users, rather, are rising faster than the old with Indonesia and Brazil seeing the most growth. So a lot of interesting international points of data and finally, 98% of Gen Z owns a smartphone. That makes sense to me. I don't know why I'd be any different. They basically don't know life without them. Now, I have a son who is a Gen Z.  He fits nicely into that little category. He's born in the year 2000. And I can tell you almost all of this rings a bell. Almost all of it seems right to me. Just from my own anecdotal experience with him that he spends more time on non-game apps than a lot of us do. He spends a lot of time watching stuff that was popular before I was even old enough to think it was popular. Things like taxi. Like he watches taxi over and over and over. He loves the show taxi. Can't figure it out. But again, spending a lot of time watching things that don't have anything to do with games. And he watches them on a mobile device. He doesn't watch them. On mobile devices. Whereas old people watch things on television. Why am I gonna watch this on my phone? Honestly, on the big screen, my eyes are bad. At the most, it's like a TV or, you know, he's using a computer screen or he's watching it while he's playing a game. Like this concept of sit down in front of a television for the event that is television watching, not in his vocabulary. It's just not a thing he does. This other bit here about TikTok, Snap and Discord with the exception of TikTok, he totally loves that in that order. He loves Snap and he loves Discord. He thinks it's cool to hate on TikTok but that may just be a, I don't know what that is. That's how you know it's popular. Yeah. And then the other bit that really stood out to me was them spending less time in the actual most used games and moving maybe, you know, the theory is moving on to something else. He totally does that. He will sometimes rip through it, destroy whatever game he's playing and then move on or get bored and move on. But either way, it's not like a long, I'm gonna be in a community playing this one game for a really long time. It's new and shiny, go get on that, play it until you're sick of it, go move on to something else. Definitely different behavior than I have. So anyway, interesting stuff. We're still sitting there playing our puzzle game, trying to get it to solve. What's great about this little segment today was, did I know, I guess I did. I just didn't know I did. You didn't even know all these things. Yeah. All right, let's finish up with a supercomputer. Europe awarded Hewlett Packard Enterprise or HPE. That's the one that doesn't make printers. Remember when they split HPE up? HPE is getting $160 million to build a supercomputer called Lumie in Finland. Maybe Patrick Beja can go visit it. It is expected to have peak performance of more than 550 petaflops. I wanna know what a petaflop is. There's an episode of Know a Little More at knowaittlemore.com. 550 petaflops would top the current number one supercomputer, the Fugaku Petascale Computer in Kobe, Japan. That one reached 415.5 petaflops in June of this year. Lumie will be hosted at the Finnish IT Center for Science in Kajani, Finland. It will be made up of HPE Cray EX servers with AMD Epic processors and AMD Instinct high performance graphics cards. It will also use HPE's Cray cluster store E1000 storage system and HPE Slingshot technology for networking. Power will be generated by a Swedish hydroelectric electric company called Vaterfall and heat from Lumie will be used to heat homes in Finland. HPE is also making supercomputers for the Czech Republic and Western Australia. Nice. That's pretty cool. Yeah, so soon, soon, soon, we will have a new number one supercomputer in Finland. I'm ready. The chess world is shaking in their boots. Let's see what happens. Yeah, I was gonna say, if you wanna go on a tour of supercomputers, you can end up with number one right now in Kobe and get yourself some delicious beef. But in the future, you'll be able to go to Finland and get thin-ish food. So weird fish and like rotting tentacles from things. It's fine. Delicious. Patrick can correct all this on Tuesday. I'm not worried about what I say. It's fine. All right, let's check out the mail bag. Feedback at DailyTechNewShow.com. Cezar answered our call for firsthand experience with selecting a search provider other than Google on phones in Europe. He writes, since you asked, I am a European citizen, Romanian, to be precise. And I have noticed the pop-up select my search provider when setting up my phone. Thank you, we finally got one. I own a Galaxy S10e and did not have this as part of the initial setup when I bought my phone, but rather when I at one point reset my phone. Probably from recent updates, my phone did give me the option to choose my preferred search provider as promised by Google. My guess is that most users won't see this because of one or all of the following. One, old phones with old software. Two, even if the phone has received updates and now has the browser ballot, people tend to not reset their phones. As such, they won't be seeing the setup screen more than once or twice in the device's lifetime. Or three, people just click next, next, next in a hurry and get to the shiny-do toy, don't even realize they did it. There you go. You now have a larger sample size. Thank you, Cezar. He says, PS, I stayed with Google, but use multiple browsers and search engines on my own depending on the use case. Interesting. I do that too. That sounds a lot. I bet there's more and more people that are doing that. I use DuckDuckGo in some cases. I use different browsers. DuckDuckGo as my default mobile search engine. Same, same. I like their image search a lot better too and I'm trying to find references for art and stuff. It's so much better than Google's now and I don't know why that is. Probably because Google has to be so much more careful about copyright given their spotlight. I did wanna say one quick thing about this and that is that I noticed Windows getting a little pesky the other day. It's been a long time since we've talked about Windows being a problem with favoring Explorer, now Edge and that sort of thing. But I went and changed my default from Edge to Firefox and it kept bugging me and saying, are you sure, let me tell you why Edge is so great, like a little dialogue. That's because they just bundled in Edge with the new October update. Yeah, which I don't know, that just feels like old stuff and maybe you're nervous. There's one more email here that we got from David who says, no one is really from here, Charlotte, North Carolina, that's where he's from. He chimed in about photos not being real life. He emailed this listening to your discussion on Tuesday in regards to photos being touched up. This made me think of an old picture that was in my house when I was growing up of my great-great grandparents. The photo always looked odd to me and I found out that this was because the photo was taken when they were out working in the field when the traveler photographer came through after the picture developed, he would watch, sorry, he would draw nice clothes onto them and bring the nice photo back later after putting the clothes on them. This just goes to show that nothing is really new just done differently. Love the show, thanks for all you do. Yeah, that reminded me of this picture of my great-grandfather, John. I never once wondered if those are really his clothes. Yeah, maybe they're not. Or were they drawn on later? I have no idea. Maybe they're not, I never know. Yeah, anyway, shout out to patrons at our master and grandmaster levels including Justin Zellers, Miss Music Teacher and Mike McLaughlin. Scott Johnson, thank you so much for being here. This is the part where Sarah usually thanks you. Sorry for almost forgetting it. What do you got going on these days?  If you haven't heard it yet, great news.

Good evening and welcome to NewsClick. Today we have with us Mr. Murli Dharan. He is the General Secretary of the National Platform for Rights of the Disabled. Welcome Mr. Murli Dharan. Yesterday the Finance Minister presented the union budget. For the fourth consecutive year in a row, the budget neglects and excludes persons with disability. So, can you tell us a little bit about why is it that persons with disabilities and also so many disability rights activists are so unhappy and so disappointed at the latest budget? Disappointment, yes it is a huge disappointment actually it is not a small issue it is a huge disappointment. See we were looking for allocations especially after the passage of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act in 2016. It is a very very positive act in sense that is why it is a act based on the rights based framework. The various provisions they are they contain the act to implement those provisions adequate budgetary support is required. The act as such does not contain financial this thing. So, budgetary provisions or allocations are required for the implementation of the act. This as far as that is concerned it has been a huge disappointment because unless those unless allocations are made those provisions cannot be this this will just remain on paper the act will remain on paper. This is one of the things. See the various schemes that are there this schemes for implementation of persons with disabilities act that is there like this actually flows from 1995 act this is not a new scheme it is there from 95 onwards. So, the allocations for that has actually only increased marginally around 200 300 crores actually and now this thing is there. So, is now all those schemes accessible India campaign this government after coming to power has made various announcements actually. It is been huge on rhetoric and less on implementation the ground level. Now this budget last year they talked about making 500 railway stations actually providing lifts and escalators and all the elevators and escalators in 500 stations. This this time they said it to 600 railway stations. Now what implementation part what the prime minister has said in the annexure of that budget speech it says that around 300 odd stations I have been I am not correct figure it but above 300 odd. But the better this is actually after the last last budget or includes all stations which with the earlier also their escalators but they will also it is not clear about that. That apart this money would not be sufficient to do these things. Railway accessibility is not in terms of providing lifts and escalators alone. This is just one part of the solution and you see reaching to the coach is one issue boarding the goading the coach is another issue the height between the platform and the coach is such that a disabled normal disabled person cannot board the coach. This is one thing there are access issues access issues also differ from disability to disability. You are talking in terms of only those with physical impairment or wheelchair users but there are people people are blind for them what is what are the measures that you are taking for them for the deaf what are the measures you are taking them this is these are these are all things and along and this budget speech also the about the access this thing is talked about making public transport again this has been a long 1995 onwards we have talking about making public transport accessible. But at the procurement level at the procurement level when when you procuring buses for instance transport and procuring buses are those buses accessible on the one hand social security government is actually withdrawing from all these things there is a huge squeeze on these things and the amount of pension that is given given that interag on the national disability pension that is given for a last so many years it has been retained at 300. The government has not been increasing it see here one thing that has been noted is a disability is a state subject it is not on central is in the state list. So, but most most of the states have refrain from making special schemes or personal disability even in in our country also we had an act only in 1995 before that there was no provision for in person with disabilities only after 1995 we started talking about disability and try to bring it on the agenda even now it is not on the agenda I would say among the most marginalized sections. So, we have been asking for enhancement in this pension. So, now it is still at 300 and sent states are asked to contribute an equivalent if not more amount, but most of the states are not contributing. But after our campaign we have conducted struggles and campaigns in various states some states have increased to 1000 some say 2500 in Delhi it is 2500 like that. So, unless the state centers contribution also increases the states are not going to contribute. So, there is a squeeze in budget allocations for social sector spending. While with the passage of a bill like the RPD Act of 2016 it seems like there is some kind of movement towards a rights based approach yet now they do not even we seem to be fulfilling a charity based approach as well like there seems to be nothing actually in some sense with this budget. See this law 90 this 2016 act also has not come about just because some government official thought about the ministry wanted it to happen. India was India is a signatory to an this thing convention called the United Nations convention of rights of persons disabilities. We signed that in 2007 it is a very democratic a very right based convention it is a what is a implementing it in total in our country given our social and economic and political realities is very difficult. Our people when signing conventions they do not look at the need the find a print of it. So, you go and sign a convention you just earn this thing and come back. So, you have to look at it we are not against it we are for it for convention, but you should see the background in which this convention has been framed. So, now having signed the convention there is a need for implementing the provisions of the convention in your country. So, you have to change the law amend the laws or reframe new law frame new laws on the basis of provisions of the convention disability rights only this act alone is not enough. There are various laws in the country which need to be amended to harmonize it in in in accordance with the provisions of the UNCRPD. Even our constitution also article 15 1 and article 16 2 of the Indian constitution talk about grounds on which discrimination is prohibited. It talks of caste one which discrimination is prohibited, talks about language, it talks about religion, it talks about various other grounds on which discrimination is prohibited, but disability is not written there. The first thing that needs to be done is to include disability amend the constitution include disability as a prohibited ground for discrimination. The 2014 election campaign when Narendra Bodhi was in the campaign he used he was abusing his adversaries the congress saying these people are blind, they are deaf, they are lame. And he didn't use it one time he is not a slip of tongue or in the midst of something he said that he used in two two different meetings one in Varanasi one in Chennai and Chennai it so happened that the person was translating his speech from Hindi to or English to English or Hindi to Tamil local language was a person himself was a disabled person. So, he translated different but what what whatever it might be it is not because their perception has changed he may be using the term divyang now that is and then there is another extreme from use using the terms to abuse people with disability now we are seeking to connect them with God you connect them with God you say divyang but implementation you give them some rights that is what we are asking for. That's all we have time for at news click today. Thank you and keep watching.


From Menlo Park, California, in the heart of Silicon Valley, it's theCUBE! Covering Cloud Now Awards 2020, brought to you by SiliconANGLE Media. Now, here's Sonya Tagare. Hi, and welcome to theCUBE. I'm your host, Sonya Tagare, and we're on the ground at Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park, California, covering Cloud Now's top women entrepreneurs in cloud innovation awards. Joining us today is Malin Yen, founder and partner of Operator Collective. Malin, welcome to theCUBE. Thank you so much. So tell us a little bit about your background. So, Operator Collective is actually my fourth organization that I've been a part of starting. And all of them have had an aspect of it that had a strong community to it. And so, that was one of the reasons why, as you hear about in a second, I could put together this kind of crazy idea for a fund that looks like no other. So what inspired you to start this company and how did you navigate getting funding? Sure, so like I said, Operator Collective is my fourth company. The first one was actually a nonprofit. The second one was a venture-back company that we took from zero to 100 million in public in less than three years. And the third one was something called Saster, which is the world's largest B2B community for SaaS software as a service. The company that was a venture-back startup that we took from zero to 100 million in public in less than three years, even though I helped launch it, I didn't actually officially join as an employee until about 18 months in. And by that time, I was employee 65. And I noticed a number of things, which is there were largely a homogenous group of people who were there before me, all really great people, but you tend to know people like you and the hyper-growth stages of startups, you tend to turn around and say, who can I get? And so you turn to the people that you know. And so you end up with companies that look like yourself. And so I spent a lot of time looking at what was going on in the venture world, which is that in the area that I focus on, which is enterprise and enterprise software, it is over 90% male in terms of VCs as well as founders. And the world revolves around, and the venture world revolves around VCs and founders. And so I looked around and said, well, where are the operators? The people who build and grow and scale up these companies, they're largely not, they're not efficiently and effectively part of this ecosystem. And then second, were the women and people of color. And so, but as I started to dig in more and talk to people, what I realized was that the VCs and founders actually wanted to bring in the operators. They wanted to bring in the people with different backgrounds, but the networks didn't naturally overlap. And so I thought there's got to be a way to bring them in because I know the operators and the operators also want to participate, but the system isn't optimized to make it efficient or friendly or comfortable for them to be able to participate. So that's why I decided to put operator collective together. Wow. So you are keynoting today for Cloud Now. What has this experience been like and what is the main message you want to give to the award winners and to the Cloud Now community? So it's incredibly inspiring to be with all the women who are being honored tonight, as well as frankly the organizers, the organization itself, Cloud Now is incredibly impactful. And so one of the reasons I was so excited to be asked is a number of the women who are being honored I either know or have heard of. And the recognition is something that is very important because we need to tell the stories and recognize these people who are not maybe the usual suspects, the ones who maybe not are everyday names. And so I was super excited to be here. So you were talking about how it's about 90% male in the VC and founder community. In one of your articles, which are amazing by the way, you said, don't let the excuse of cultural fit be a vehicle for perpetuating sameness. And I thought that was so profound.  And if so, what can be done to mitigate it? Yeah, I think that there's more awareness now of the fact that if you hire for cultural fit, you'll end up with 65 people who are exactly like you. And that's not optimizing for a successful company because there are studies that show that diverse teams outperform, out-innovate homogenous teams. But what's also interesting is the same study says that but homogenous teams are more certain that they've gotten to the right answer, even if they've gotten to the answer less often than the diverse teams. And so when you have people who are just like you, then, and everyone agrees with each other, then you don't realize that maybe there's another way of looking at something. And so cultural fit is a warning sign, I think, to say that, okay, well, they're just like me, I'm very comfortable. Sometimes being uncomfortable is good. Yeah, that's a great message. I think it's really hard to say like, oh, I'm okay with being comfortable. So in one of your other articles, you bring up this idea of don't check all the boxes, but rather fill in the gaps. So can you explain more about that? Yeah, so the idea behind that is if you look for only the typical candidates, the ones who maybe think of a startup founder, went to Stanford, where's a hoodie, right? Did computer science, then that's fine.  And so in fact, I'm the beneficiary of people who were willing to not just check all the boxes because I didn't check any of the boxes. If you look at my background, I should not have been able to raise as a first-time fund and a first-time fund manager to be able to raise a $50 million fund because I'm a, let's see, I'm a solo GP, right, solo general partner who hasn't been a VC before with a first-time fund. I don't have his traditional venture background. My previous background was I was an intellectual property attorney then helped start a company as a result of that. And then also when you check the boxes, 40% of VCs went to Stanford or Harvard. And when you look at the numbers, I didn't check all the boxes but precisely because I didn't check all the boxes, I was able to actually look at this differently and say, hey, that's not the model that I wanna build. And frankly, if I tried to build the same model that everyone else did, my background so doesn't look like anything I wouldn't have been successful. And by taking it and saying, look, I'm gonna build a model that's totally different from the ground up, that allowed me to build a platform in a community that looked like no one else's. As a result of that was able to raise money from institutional investors, for instance, which very rarely back first-time funds. And so by not checking all the boxes, I was able to build a model, but by other people also saying, look, she doesn't check any of our typical boxes but we like this idea because it's so different than everyone else's, we are now part of the fund. And sometimes different is good and it's what's needed. Absolutely. So speaking of that, in terms of operator collective, what workplace environment are you trying to strive for? So what we say is we seek to back founders from all backgrounds who believe, who share our belief that culture, diversity and operational excellence are a key part of building truly great companies. So we strive to be inclusive. We strive to have a variety of backgrounds. We use a lot of the tools because we focus only on enterprise and B2B software and technology and infrastructure. And so we also try to use a lot of those tools.  We largely work out of our homes and we work a lot on Zoom. And a lot of us have kids too. And so what we do is we adjust the schedule so we can do drop off in the morning. We work like crazy, right? We work long hours, but we also do it so that people can take their kids to doctor's appointments or pick up their kids at the end of the day. But what was important to me was that we created an environment that worked with our busy lives. And it wasn't that we were trying to take these incredibly talented women and make it fit into just the corporate norm because you can have an incredibly successful work relationship. I mean, you can have an incredibly successful career if you don't have to sacrifice everything else in your life for it. Right, right. And that balance is so important. So what advice would you give to aspiring female entrepreneurs who maybe have a not so technical background or who are struggling to navigate in this male dominated industry? So one of the things I talked about in my keynote today was the you never get us, right? You're never gonna raise a fund if you do this.  And so when you're starting a company, you will go and you talk to a lot of people as you should because you will get lots of great information. A lot of people are gonna say, well, you're never gonna be able to start a company if you don't have a technical co-founder. You're never gonna start a company if you're gonna try to do X. And so while some might say, well, you should just ignore those people. I actually say don't ignore those people because they are saying that other people are gonna think that too, but think of a way to counter that. And that actually helped make the operator collective business model stronger because we said, okay, we know that's gonna be the mindset. Let's turn it around and actually make this a strength. And so for female founders or any founders, what I would say is listen to a lot of people, talk to a lot of people, hear what they have to say, ultimately trust your instinct, trust your gut. And because you know what's best for the company that you're trying to build. Great words of advice. Malin, thank you so much for being on theCUBE. Thank you so much for having me. Absolutely.

Leadville trail 100 not training for it right now training for run rabbit run up in steamboat But someday I would love to run the leadville 100 It was definitely the first Ultra race that I had that I knew about as a kid growing up 30 miles away from here and Shout out to Rob Carr who just won it about five days ago here in Leadville And he is 41 years old I believe 41 and he won the leadville 100 so it just goes to show like Patience and persistence pays off and frankly I kind of thought he was done running But he proved a lot of people wrong and came fairly close to the course record.

Hey everyone, today's recipe I'm making some healthy chocolate cupcakes. Now this recipe has no refined sugar and I'm not using any type of flour at all. Now it does have a secret ingredient, I'll call it, that I've never used before in any type of cake recipe. So it's pretty interesting. This recipe is nice and moist and chocolatey and it has not too much sweetness to it. It's just the right amount I think. And I got this recipe from my neighbor whose daughter and boyfriend gave to me. And I want to give a little shout out to them. Hailey and Justin, thank you so much for sharing this. I really love this recipe and I think that all of you are going to enjoy it as well. So I'm Rockin' Robin and I'm going to show you how to make it right after this. Chef's joke time. What do you call an island entirely populated by cupcakes? Desserted. I'm going to show you my ingredients. Here we go and we're going to start off with that secret ingredient that I mentioned in the beginning of the video. All right, it is tahini. Now tahini is ground up sesame seeds. We'll need some ripe bananas, nice and ripe. Some cocoa powder, that's Milo barking over there. Some almond milk, some honey, a couple of eggs, baking powder, baking soda and some salt. So I'm going to start with my bananas. We're going to put these in a bowl here. Remember you want them to be nice and ripe, brown spots all over the place. That makes the banana sweeter. And I'm going to take a masher and we're just going to mash this up.  Next we'll add our tahini, our honey. So we're just essentially putting all of our wet ingredients in the bowl. Some almond milk, any eggs, which I cracked in a bowl already, just to make sure I didn't get any shells in it. And I'm just, you know, whisking it a bit, just to help it blend in a little easier. Then you just want to stir all this and make sure everything's well combined. So actually mixing this with the masher actually worked really well in terms of blending things together. Okay, so now we're ready to add the rest of the stuff. Here goes our cocoa powder. I'm going to sprinkle that in. Trying to eliminate lumps. And here's the baking powder and baking soda. And a pinch of salt. Now I have my oven preheating to 350 degrees. So this is a super easy recipe. I love how I just, everything goes into the bowl. It's very quick and we'll be popping it in the oven momentarily. All right, now we're ready to fill our little cupcake holders. So I'm using these silicone ones that I like, but you can use paper ones. They work fine too. And I've got 12 here. And so I'm going to take a like a small ladle and we're going to just start placing our batter into that without trying not to make too much of a mess. See how we do. All right, so I've topped off the cups here, the cupcake holders to about while good three quarters full. And I think I'll clean up a little bit of the spills that I made so they don't just stand there and burn when it's cooking. Okay. All right, so I'm going to pop these in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes. Now you want to, you're better off undercooking these as opposed to overdoing it because then they'll dry out. So we're going to test them in 12 minutes. All right, so here they are after 12 minutes. We're not supposed to cook them, you know, until they're really set, but I'm going to stick a toothpick in there and see what we've got. It's still pretty wet. We're going to go to 15 minutes is what we're going to do. So here they are just out of the oven. I left them in for 16 minutes. So we'll see how these turn out. You can see that they're a little bit like, you know, the skin at the top is kind of cracked like. So I think we'll, then they're starting to sink down. So that's a good sign. And yeah, we'll see how they are when they're nice and cool. Cupcakes are done. I had left them in for 16 minutes because it was just a little too wet, in my opinion, on the little toothpick. So, but you still, if it's, if it comes out wet still, I think it's okay because otherwise they're going to dry out. So let's do the big reveal here. Let's take one of these and they're still pretty warm, but I'm going to do it anyway. And I'm going to just take it out of its little silicone cup here and show you what it looks like on the inside and check this out. Look at this. Nice and cake-like, right? It's amazing to me how it does that with no flour. Anyway, let's give it a taste test. First thing I noticed, it's nice and chocolaty. It's moist. It's a lighter cake-like texture. So it kind of reminds me of devil's food cake. You know, it's light. It's very light. And I think it would be great with some whipping cream or coconut cream on top. Even a little bit of chocolate, you know, frosting if you want to do that. But just like this, they're moist. It just satisfies your chocolate craving. So if you'd like to try some more chocolate recipes, I've got one for you that I think you should try. It's how to make chocolate pudding. Very basic, right? I'm going to leave a link for you right over here. Click that, go make that, and tell me what you think because this is just delicious. Don't forget to subscribe to my channel, leave me a comment and a thumbs up. That always helps the algorithm. So just give it a smash, make it turn blue, and we'll see you next week.
