this is by the dip the purple line here we test that purple line and bounce from here so I think the potential to see a bounce a little bit of these a sympathy bounce tomorrow I don't know if I came back or not hopefully I did hopefully it didn't connect it's over but let's see let's see what the market outlook is like today Apple up 2.5% very strong today Pfizer had a little bit of green today Lidrna gave up all the games that I had yesterday so RB Nicko the stream working earnings to get today sales force pretty crazy market though hope everybody is okay yeah I think a lot of people just heard today the market is kind of over the place we have the gap down a lot oh my gosh gap down so this is 0% here so a lot of things were down today there was only a few things that was up and that was Pfizer Apple lamb research those are like pretty much a few companies that was up like Tesla and Nike barely green for the day oh man it's kind of scary it's looking like we're setting up honestly it's setting up I mean this could be a potential bounce here too because it's at the purple line and we typically we typically bounce at the purple line we bounce there a lot of times so this could be a dead cat bounce tomorrow but honestly only time will tell we'll find out let's check out some of the earnings to see how the earnings did after hours today it was a rough day man rough day I mean I didn't get it because I kind of I kind of just chill out of the market for like this week just waiting to buy the dip up a very little bit of a smart move CRM so let's see let's check out some of the earnings stuff today Intel CEO Express conviction over accomplishing five-year goal whoa very sexy need Intel to drop a little bit more come back come back to like 43 dollar levels for us to buy the dip but you know there they see that they the revenue can potentially grow recover they're very bullish they said they aim to increase the value of the company dramatically so they say a lot of good things man for long-term investors of Intel net app also reported earnings today let's see what's up earnings for sure is dollar 28 that's was a dollar 21 sales is a dollar 57 as was the dollar 55 21% increase compared to the same period last year and 10% increase in sales compared to last year stock was trading around $60 last year right now so it's almost 50 plus huge move there so price has has achieved over 50% increase where sales and EPS hasn't seen that yet so might might see this gain give up itself a little bit would not be surprised guidance is pretty wild there 1.21 to 1.31 as most 1.28 sales is pretty wild to 1.2 1.52 to 1.67 as 1.59 so a lot of uncertainty there and then the full year 22 sales they're looking at they're they're not looking to touch touch the estimate so I'm not sure why is running it should be going down at this point honestly it probably the market will probably correct itself and make this this stock go down global foundries also reported earnings today earnings per share 7 cents as opposed to negative 58 cents year-over-year so they're actually profitable margins this year sales is 1.7 million as opposed to 1.09 no sales is up very strong 55% increase compared to the same period last year the stock just IPO from $45 so you know no real expectation compared to last year honestly CRM let's go die so CRM you know we're kind of kind of looking for CRM demo you guys played a lot of you saw that we were looking for CRM to go to one piece is it 180s oh gosh that's a far move right now that I realized it I must have missed click here oh no that's crowd strike I miss click it's 255 I'm like thinking to myself no way it's gonna go to 180s must be smoking but 255 that's our that's our range is starting to hit that direction I think we might actually get paid because we have four of those those plays the end tap beat was not great it's a pretty iffy beat so I was looking for 255 260s if CRM can get to that range yo we are gonna get paid I don't have a 240 I'm not sure who put the 240 by 140 so we got these they were extremely cheap wait why would anybody buy the 240 though 240 is a kind of expensive for being that far out the money but anyways let's look at CRM's earnings they actually beat too so I actually had a good earnings earnings pressures $1.27 as opposed to 92 cents sales is 6.86 as opposed to 6.80 they said that actually this is a weaker quarter compared to the same period last year at 27% decrease compared to last year's and sales is actually 26.59 so they had weaker margin this quarter but sales had actually increased that's kind of weird and then for the next quarter they think they're gonna hold up and they're gonna make about 7.2 billion as of the 6.8 so next quarter supposed to be a good quarter for them you see how they look year over year last year they were trading around the same price around I mean at the same price they were trading around 220s 220s so it's a little bit less they're not performing that great so I can see why it's coming down even though next quarter guidance is up they did run up a lot so I could see them moving up further and further but they're coming back down a little bit to present some buying opportunities oh god this is really moving to 255 we might actually get paid really well excited haven't had a nice earnings win on CRM for a while man CRM says they also raised their full year revenue guidance to 26.39 to 26.40 as opposed to 26.33 I guess they might also just put 26.39 at this point why they're about to put in the 40 and you guys get in you guys look in your wound it's a tough day I mean we did talked about the potential for market pullback a little bit on Monday you know I tried to try to put a little bit guidance out there not to buy the dip because it wasn't nasty fake out though because when you look at this chart you know we had that big drop and then had that bounce and a lot of people got bullish on that bounce but that's what you call a bull trap you know trap people coming back into that bounce thinking it was gonna recover really easy but you know usually when you see big amount of selling like this over here and it bounces that's just like the big guys unloading they're just like getting the opportunity to get people to hold the bag for them you know and then they're gonna unload some more because the volume that they put in to get you to buy they just put it back right here you know as people are buying up they start dropping a little bit so come come down ideally we'd love to see it comes in as 252 areas for the nice by the tip opportunity that's a pretty pretty interesting area coming up 452s where it's very very close that could be a good area to load up even right now it could be an interesting area on the daily as well so between these these two ranges you can see another that cap bounce somewhere from here I think we potentially if they get bouncing for 60 if we go to like 452s assuming that it's gonna follow this trend this trend this trend and you know all these other trends that have happened here assuming it's gonna follow all these other moves this would be your bounce right here at the point of control of 252 but that's why sometimes I just like to sit back and wait for the opportunities I really hopes here and doesn't cover man and we're still gonna hit a hundred percent even if it stays around 260 tomorrow even 270s damn this play is about to go from 200 to a thousand dollars if it stays in this range my Friday so ZS also reported today let's see how they did you heard that so ZS Q1 EPS is 14 cents sales is 230 mil as opposed to 208 this is unchanged from last year and however the sales had a 61% increase compared to last year look at last year's price company was training around 157 right now they would double of 157 that would have been like 340 right now the 360 so it's moved a lot the stock price has appreciated a lot compared to last year's price and sales and EPS hasn't really caught up to that level yet kind of be a little careful here just pull back to once market like prices Netflix I got you we'll check in a little bit was Netflix up today I feel like a shit box that calm also reported today earnings per share is 22 cents as opposed to 21 sales is 224 mil as opposed to 280 mil it says this is a 10% increase compared to last year and 14% increase in sale you know a lot of earnings it just go with kind of weird I think it's just a lot of feel like a lot of this is simply simply they just want to like move back up to last year company was trading between 18 17 to 19 dollars in that range company had about 15% increase about 1955 right now training on 24th it's a little bit higher than it was last year expecting the better Q4 in EPS and sales though guidance is good four-year guidance is up to and four-year guidance on the sales side is bullish as well so that's that's good for that company you with hackers I feel like everybody was expecting you would pack it to beat because they are hardware side but looks like the software side is given up a little bit let's see how they report you a packers earnings per share is 52 cents as opposed to 48 cents sales is 7.35 billion as opposed to 7.38 that's a miss on the sale side 40% increase in EPS compared to the same year last year sales is only 2% increase previous last year last year company of training around 11 dollars would have put around 1540 sales increase when I kept it black I guess if this comes back down a little bit more it's probably buying opportunity I've seen this happen last time with the stock I'll show you pretty sure I saw last time yeah so last time they had a really good earnings the company pulled back it dropped a lot and then eventually after it finished dropped in it was a huge buying opportunity because they had a good earnings same thing here as well they had a good earnings so if you see green the over here so you like how this ticker how the E is green that usually means that they had a great earnings top and bottom and the company you know moved down dropped a lot and came to this range for support and recover maybe we'll see that again on maybe funny what's done that almost every time looking to ask by January calls it's not a bad idea the area I would probably look to add as I mentioned before I would probably wait for at least like 452 so consider adding bullet positions or adding by the dip positions second area I probably looked at around 446 dish in that range so I wouldn't necessarily want to buy the dip at this area right now now I could be wrong you guys are feeling formal you want to buy the dip feel free to but let me show you what I'm looking at and the reason why I wouldn't like be so interested to jump into buying the dip right now and and that reason is because the imbalance is really really crazy like the market on sale and balance for the day is like billion to the sell side so that's a lot of selling man we had 8.5 billion dollars to the sell side today and and you can see like a huge green candle on the daily at the close to so even with that buying of the clothes there was a lot of selling so usually when there's that much so pressure there it's gonna it's gonna take some time before it's like you know we covers right away so yesterday I think we saw like about four billion to the sell side I don't know why Paz Inga is not reporting this anymore on here we gotta refresh it Hello Tom man so beat up it can't even get beat up anymore so beat up during the last month it hasn't even dropped anymore it's just holding the 43 area but yeah they haven't really um Paz Inga hasn't really posted it for why I guess they don't want to scare the people man but I saw on thinkorswim thinkorswim posted so this is the market on close imbalance the market on close imbalance is 8.5 billion the sell side that means there was way more today so that's why I would hesitant to get into cause see what else reported today AMBA chip company semiconductor video chips and stuff but not like that or not earnings per shares 57 cents as opposed to 49 cents sales is 92 as opposed to 90 million 533% increase compared to last year's had really good margins and 64% increase in sales compared to last year number is a pretty pretty phenomenal I remember the stock you to be 40 something dollars man yeah right here last year's July 2020 was trading on 40 45 46 dollars I was like yo I am I not buying this head in all-time highs right now crazy so a year ago's company was trading around $80 right now is trading around 180 180 plus so it's already gone up $100 plus over up over the price has increased over a hundred percent on a two-year basis prices also increase over 150% so it's been a pretty strong move EPS has justified that the sales is still playing a little bit catch up there pretty interesting move there next quarter they're actually looking to see they could possibly see less sales compared to estimates so they they might hit it they might hit it a little bit lower side give or take so that's gonna be interesting I guess supply chain is gonna be an issue for them as well let's check out some of the stock that you guys make a single look at like Netflix came back down so Netflix is actually at a pretty good area right now what happened the background music is too loud it's just driving your nuts let me change it to something else my bad I have no clue how loud it is honestly sometimes like that yo just let me know feel free to let me know cuz I don't I don't hear it as well too is there any news for Netflix that pulled the stock from 674 to 642 well it doesn't necessarily always need news to get it down that far I think a lot of times it's just it's just the weather so you know every single stock it's part of the market right and they're part of the index so index is like spy QQQ if those index are bearish is naturally gonna pull every single other stock down so when we looked at the market market bubble chart almost every stock was down today right or at zero percent there was only like five five six stocks that is that is above the zero percent while everything else is just down so that just goes to show you that today was extreme red day and you know we'll visualize it in the regular map too right and you can see this in the map like across war like everything is red like nothing was safe from this this drop in the market you know so except for Apple you know Apple, Pfizer, and Tesla were the only thing that was safe from this drop but how long how long would these guys be safe that's another question right so that's that's probably why Netflix dropped you know it came to a good area this could be a potential area for by the dead move it's at my yellow line on the chart my indicators so the yellow line on the 195 minute chart right now the yellow line is typically the make-or-break area so it's usually it usually holds some substance where this could be a potential area where it could chop and bounce a little bit so if it bounced from here we could potentially see a move back to 660s so 645 to 660s is not that hard to move it was about 15 points you know it could potentially chop there otherwise the next level on Netflix could be potentially down here which would be 592s that's another like 50 point drop if you know if market doesn't see any recovery and I think I think a lot of thing is just like people didn't understand how to price the whole situation of this new COVID variant have you guys I'm sure you guys heard the news about and you guys read the news on this new variant from South Africa right that was kind of Netflix check out MRK so I posted a little bit over the weekend about it but I think a lot of people just you know just and really just didn't really like understand the severity of the things and stuff but if you think about it like this if you think about it like from the aspect that you know all these countries are starting to lock down and they're starting to close their borders again and this is just the beginning man like it hasn't even spread yet like let me see find a spread because I was looking at it earlier actually so I was looking at it earlier from this this news from the economists so since they days after the new variant was identified South in Africa countries around the world are confirming that they have found cases of it too but because the lack of genome genomic sequencing means many cases are likely to have gone undetected apparently so this is what they I guess this is this is what is looking like right now the confirmed cases as of November 29th so you know you see some cases in South Africa this Australia what is that continent over there I think that's Australia I could be wrong but I think this and then you know we have some cases in Canada I think like maybe 10 cases already and then Europe I guess this is like Italy or Spain Italy Italy Spain somewhere in that area and this is China Korea Japan but yeah this case is like starting to get confirmed has only been a few days out so and and I think that's just the beginning so if you know we're already having supply chain issues we're already having like all these other situations where the economy is struggling to recover and and you know we we thought for a second there for a second there we thought that this was the end of it right for a second there we thought like yo we were at like 75% vaccination rate for most places are 70 plus percent or 50 plus percent and and we think we're like at the home stretch at the home stretch of like beating this whole goddamn COVID situation and we think we're like at home stretch their base about to you know about to hit it and be gone with it and now they have this new variant that this is mutating like crazy has like so many spikes and stuff and and whatever and everybody is starting to shut down and from just from just from like looking at the basic aspect of things it could potentially set back it could potentially set everything back at least two months best case scenario best case scenario right we would get a sit back for two months and the reason that I would say that's the best case scenario is because you think of it like this right say we look at all the vaccine manufacturers and whatnot and and you know Moderna being supposedly like one of the top guys out there right in terms of the vaccine and they're like they're like you know yeah yeah this this variance note is a joke we can you know we can we can modify our vaccine to take care of it and whatnot and and they says that you know they said that they can take care of it within how long they said they said it wouldn't take them it wouldn't take them that long to like to manipulate their vaccines to adapt to it but they said it would take them like around 60 days or something to do that and then to like to test it and then they probably took them like another 30 days or whatever to manufacture and stuff but that's at like the best case scenario for the first world countries for like the third world countries and you know in second world countries or whatever but all these other like non first world countries that timeline is probably way different it's probably 3x you know that timeline is probably much longer than anticipated so we're looking at two months to six months of lockdown because they would have to essentially lockdown first right like the best way for them to handle this they would have to you know if they were to take this as a serious case you know I'm not talking about the fact that if you didn't you know for them I'm just talking about the pro-vaxxer side not even gonna talk about the other the other side for a second so we're just gonna imagine this as a if you know we're the stock market is a pro-vaxxers right and in order for them to like get the vaccine ready they would have to you know they would have to quarantine make sure people aren't getting infected and people aren't spreading it so that so that they can effectively adjust their their their vaccines to adapt to the new variant and then they have to do beta tests and all that stuff you know before they could even like produce it and and they said the minimum time is 60 days which means we would be locked down for another two months like we would be going back to like restriction restriction a lot wait what the hell sperm is being used to create eco-friendly alternatives to plastics huh salmon sperm the gel is then molded into different shapes and freeze dry this removes the moisture which makes it solidify and when bam thank you man you have environmentally friendly sperm plastic wow would you drink from an eco-friendly plastic cup made from salmon sperm and vegetable oil I mean I mean why not maybe maybe I'll get some omega-3 maybe I'll get some omega-3 with that why not is a cum-cum hey yo why not right why not you maybe you can consume the cup too and then you get like your daily dose of omega-3 at the same time think about that genius zero waste exactly exactly man yo why don't I make ice cream with that and I'm just um there's one shot it you know there we go but but yeah what was I talking about before this is rambling something I forgot that that that took me off oh yeah pow also talk today it's kind of funny man it's kind of funny what what what they talked about so I don't know if you guys were listening to the meanie or not but I thought it was kind of odd it it's it and it's kind of scary at the same time because they and you know they they've been using this word transitory for a long time right and I remember first time here in this war and I wasn't sure what it means I was like you know what does transitory even mean when it comes inflation man looked it up and it says oh you know they don't think inflation is gonna last they think like this current situation of high rate of inflation is transitory which means that I was gonna pass over they think it's just a it's just a fad you know like it's just one of those like diet fads that's gonna be gone in like in like a few months but obviously it hasn't disappeared they've been talking about how inflation was transitory for the last year or so and that you know like I remember last year when I was doing Twitch stream on other channel and I was like yo Popeye has already increased their their their bucket price you know and that was already like almost like a 30% increase in food price and now a year later we're seeing some places increase in food price like up to 100% and it's crazy I was just having some noodles the other day and I went to this noodle shop right and and they don't have a menu so I looked up the menu online and the previous menu was like 550 it was 550 for like a bowl of noodles or whatever and and like and the price today is nine dollars one year later like how did it go from 550 to nine dollars man that's nuts right can you imagine how how how little value your dollar got from that so they talk today and the word transitory has different meaning for different people to many carries a sense of short-lived we tend to use it to mean that it won't leave a permanent mark in the form of higher inflation how will set I think it's probably a good time to retire that word and try to explain more clearly what we mean it's funny like they literally make up the hardest words possible to explain things so people don't understand it too yo that's so true bro that's so true imagine like I you know what I wish that would have happened to me that would have been a fun experience because like one day you're going there you're getting your lunch you know and it's like 550 right the next day you come back you're like yo let me get the same thing I got yesterday and like nine dollars please sir and like what what just happened nine dollars I just pay 550 for yesterday you know that's kind of funny man that would be I I wonder if anybody did a skit on that that would be kind of funny power also said the Fed will be discussion discussing potential acceleration of his monthly asset purchase tapering the Fed we do this monthly purchase of US Treasury bonds and mortgage backed securities from 120 to 105 in November at this point the economy is very strong and inflationary pressure are higher and it's therefore appropriate in my view to consider wrapping up the taper of our asset purchase perhaps a few months sooner oh that's why the market dropped even harder today too so why is important last week Biden announced that he'll be renominating power for his second term as Fed Chair power on the Fed face an extremely challenging economic environment heading to 2022 US inflation levels has been at multi decade highs for months but the economy is still struggling with labor shortage and supply chain disruptions meanwhile whoops meanwhile the new Omicron variant of COVID-19 has once again raised concerns about the potential ongoing economic impact of the pandemics on Monday Biden said there is no need for Americans to panic about the Omicron variant and said US lockdowns are off the table for now somebody's gonna make him eat his words man I'm telling you he's gonna have to eat his words in like a month Bazinga's take Federal Reserve tapering is moving a massive monthly stimulus to the US economy so it's understandable why concerns of our more aggressive tapering would trigger weakness and stock price however assuming the Omicron variant is not significantly more deadly our vaccine resistant than the previous COVID variant powers commentary on the health of the US economy is actually good news from a fundamental perspective I agree with that actually I think that tapering is actually good I wish they have done it months ago before they let the stock market ran so far away but I can understand why they didn't want to do it because if they started to taper they started to raise interest rate then companies that are borrowing money would be spending too much money so you know and and they will have to be paying the high interest rate which means they wouldn't want to borrow money if they didn't want to borrow money if companies don't want to borrow money then they're not gonna hire employees and stuff they're just gonna try to cut costs across the board so they were trying to get you know a lot of company to not cut the cost and just hire more people so that they can recover the the job market but obviously the company most of these these corporate company know better they know that it's challenging times they you know they know that they're transitioning to like AIs and robots and stuff like that and they just don't want to hire a lot of people so no matter what the government do they're just not gonna like go out there and hire people left and right when they just like lost half their workforce and and they're still operating pretty efficiently for most companies like most companies that lost half his workforce are still operating pretty efficiently there are some that aren't but even that like they could probably operate at a great efficient rate at 75% so there's no way the economy is gonna like jumped in the job market so they better just raise the interest right now and so that you know inflation doesn't get out of hand because inflation is nuts you know people need to stop raising food prices I don't want to be paying like $15 for a noodle next like at some cheap spot man like think about like think about how much food is just gonna be a big part of your paycheck if this thing keep going like if you what's monthly grocery costs if month monthly grocery costs is like $300 and inflation jumps another like 50% you're gonna spend $600 easily wait I'm smoking it's not even $300 a month it's like $300 a week $600 a week times four weeks that's 200 $2400 just on food man Jesus too crazy that's too crazy man they need to chill lack through this inflation game that's true that's true man you're right a lot of retail investors aren't gonna be able to invest anymore hey what's up Ian that's true that's a very good point I mean and you know what did have you guys been doing black Friday shopping I was like I was having some formal yesterday thinking about the inflation stuff and and I was like and I was just looking at like a lot of like the clothing brands and stuff and and you know like black Friday summer Monday a lot of the clothing brand were still like still relatively cheap shell chakra deals and new eggs were awful I mean new egg deals has been trashed for the last two three years bro when you bend but I was just thinking right like I don't think I don't I don't think a lot of the clothing manufacturer have actually raised their price a lot yet I don't think they like really really like adjusted for the inflation because a lot of them a lot of these companies manufacture their stuff overseas right so I think like I think because of that they haven't really priced in as much yet and I think eventually they're gonna catch up just like how all the restaurants started catching up like I remember a few months ago we were talking about how like some restaurants didn't catch up to the inflation price yet so I would like try to hunt for these restaurants and and go like you know go get like go get my food there right but slowly every single restaurant started catching up to inflation they started jacking up their prices 30 to 50% you know so I think it's only a matter of time before clothing companies started jacking up their price so when I had that realization on Monday I was like oh snap I started having massive FOMO and and I went to like all the clothing brand that I liked I just started buying stuff and stocking up you know I essentially have enough sweatpants for like the next three years I stocked up on my Nike sweatpants of you know these like 40-50 dollar sweatpants is probably the best price they'll ever get in the next three years next thing you know Nike sweatpants is gonna be like a hundred dollars per pair for their basic sweatpants was it just me or was they're not that much high for Black Friday I think that's priced in I think they remember like before Black Friday we looked and we were talking about how like a lot of companies were were pricing for the fact that this Black Friday was gonna be that crazy because there was supply chain issues so a lot of company already knew they weren't gonna have a lot of products so they weren't really trying to push it out like that either I think US is probably if like if that's 70% of Canada the if like 70% of the Canadians live paycheck to paycheck we're probably at like 90% then I don't know Nike sweats of the new NFTs I believe it hopefully I mean they haven't increased their price yet but yeah hopefully they they would you know hopefully they would at some point another but that's gonna be crazy man I can see them like I can see like they're already moving to the hundred dollar sweatpants too like if you guys go to Nike's right they're really starting to like have like a hundred something dollar sweatpants like I remember the other day I bought like a like 70-80 dollar sweatpants and I was like yo this is probably the cheapest I'll get whatever I'll take it I was like as long as this lasts me like a while I'm good and I bought like a bunch of shoes too see man the the regular prices are ready $80 same thing with their the dermal is like $90 now like $60 plus is the standard price did it get cheaper than it was the other day but yeah I wouldn't be surprised to see like $80 for the next years that's how they get you man this is the end this is the end at some point inflation is gonna be so crazy that it's actually gonna be cheaper to live in the metaverse cuz you can just get like gears for much cheaper what's up we could take a look at some stocks it's 450 before right now to probably take a look at some stocks for the next 10 minutes if you guys have chart stocks that you guys want to chart out and take a look at I'm liking MRK does somebody ask earlier I have an alert set around $71 to buy the dip I think healthcare is gonna be a big reversal hey what's up man thank you thanksgiving was fulfilling I hope you had a great one as well XLH let me find that healthcare ETF while biotech ETF is actually down a lot real estate ETF XLU utilities mining ETF XLF coming to the buy-the-dip area where's the health care ETF know I have it here there we go this is the health care ETF few bull TV on the weekly chart looks pretty interesting it's at the maker break lock on the maker break line on the weekly chart on the daily chart it's looking a little bit weak it looks like it wants to break it over here I can see a break under it's not getting any money flow momentum coming in so I would not touch it yet probably wait until next support 1780s and then you got the next level at $15 might even wait for that $15 level support honestly at this point unless you get a confirmation to the upside but I don't think we have that confirmation that things are looking very bullish there's no signal usually when you get this green candle I mean not green candles green arrow to the upside that means money flow has came in and we haven't had that opportunity yet yeah it looks like it's breaking down for them further take a look what you're talking about MMEV my medicine or near shares I'm not able to pull up the data here it's not even showing up oh it's on the Canadian exchange I wouldn't know I can't pull up data for Canadian exchange I don't have the data for a man I can't pull up so I wouldn't know check us CRM let's see where CRM landed oh it tries to make a little recovery no you don't continues to die please I think that's pretty much it for today hope you guys okay but those of you that are looking to buy the dip here's that level again that level again at 452 area you're looking to buy the dip on the short-term side I would take only a nibble there and then secondary by the dip level would be 447 areas that's it for today guys I'm gonna call it a day here I'll be back here tomorrow to check out some of the other earnings from crowdstrike snowflakes ok ta splunk by below pvh velva and elastics take care and have a good night guys


Hank Yelna's happy. Hank Yelna's recording all this so we better make sure that he's happy as well. Good morning First of all because so many of you were here for the first time you probably don't know me Which is good Because then I'm actually talking to people who haven't heard me talk for like a hundred times before My name is Yoast. I'm married to Mureka. She's here as well I'm the founder of a company called Yoast and a father of four I'm currently back at Yoast as interim CTO after having left only just like five months ago That was an entirely planned, but I'm there and together with Mureka We the two of us invest in quite a few companies That you might have heard of in the wordpress space as well Honestly if you want to hear anything about this See me later because that's not what we're here for I'm hoping this works doesn't really so we're gonna do it like this I want to talk about websites and the environment and All of you might be thinking what's the link between that? How does my website have a negative impact on the environment because honestly it does and Most of you probably don't realize how much of a negative impact it actually has websites are hosted by large or small hosting companies One of the largest hosting companies in the world was actually kind enough to buy Yoast Last year, but there are these are huge corporations that have lots and lots and lots of servers If you're Dutch you might have Followed along in the recent discussions about data centers That we have in several places in the Netherlands all of these data centers use tons and tons of electricity And the question is why are they using all that electricity is is your site using that much electricity as well well it is electricity usage for your website is cost by people visiting your website in your website generating those pages so You have a WordPress site. I assume I think that's what that's why all of you are here and That WordPress site generates a page when someone visits it and then that data has to be sent Across the internet to your computer and it needs to be rendered there, etc All of that takes electricity The question is how much of this can you actually control? What can you do about making your site? less impactful I'm going to use an example This is actually my father-in-law Who has a very nice very simple website? I built this for him. It's based on WordPress. It's very tiny All the way all the pages it has you can see in the menu right there and This front page consists of four files It's two images The HTML of the page itself The CSS for the page itself is actually in the in the HTML. So it's all one file and it has a fabric on So Remember that four files This page doesn't get a whole lot of visitors My father-in-law is retired There's really no reason for him to have a whole lot of visitors to his website other than the great articles He wrote which you really should check out But He had a hundred and sixty page use in the last 30 days I took this two days ago, so it might not be exactly true, but you get to the gist 160 page use Let's Consider and that we had four files per page view That should be 640 hits to his web server in the last 40 to 30 days Now I'll let you take a guess how many hits that website really got in the last 30 days Do you think it's more or less? more How much more five times more? 50 a hundred Let's see In the last 30 days this website had 608,000 hits 608,000 hits that is approximately 950 times more than was needed for the actual visitors to those pages I Can tell you from having looked at many many many websites that this is not uncommon This happens everywhere And why is this a problem? I'll show you the math later on in my presentation about how much sheo to this is but This means that the impact of this website is hugely made bigger by things that are Not visitors not normal users So what is happening here is bots search engine bots Search engine optimization tool bots Lots and lots of hackers Crawling the web to find stuff etc. Entire data centers are wasted on stuff like this This should be a very very small website with very negligible impact and Instead it is serving tons and tons and tons of pages It's important to note that this website did not change in the last 30 days It didn't send any notification to any other system out there that it needed to be crawled It didn't send any change message to Google It has all the things it needs to tell people to actually Properly say hey we this page hasn't changed. It's run on cloudflare It fully supports what we call HTTP 304 if you're not technically inclined you can fully Forget that but if you are it means that we can send not modified headers It does everything right and still it gets a ton of hits so This is me seeing that happen and going absolutely bad shit crazy because Think about it. This is a very small site on larger sites The impact of this happening is much bigger and of course search engines need to crawl the web They need to build up their indexes. I As the founder of Yoast I have done my fair bit of SEO. I Understand that search engines are actually very useful tools and that we use them to drive a lot of traffic to a lot of websites in the world so that's not necessarily a problem, but We all use Google and we might use Bing and Someone somewhere else might use Yandex or Baidu But does this Dutch website need to be spidered by Baidu? By Yandex Search engines target it at other languages and people that will probably not read it in Dutch. I Don't know One of the biggest users of this website is a h refs a h refs is a SEO tool turned search engine and They spider a lot So much and I'm thinking who's paying for all that because it's costing them money, too But all of these tools are spidering and spidering and spidering and that just causes a lot of traffic But even if we say hey, there's 10 major search engines and maybe 20 major SEO tools and some other things We get to 60 tools How is it possible that we get to? 950 times the amount of hits Where does that problem? get created and It turns out that it's actually a compound problem Those search engines and tools crawl too often and we should talk to them about that, but the other problem is that Hackers are consistently going around the web trying to figure out What is broken on your site so that they can hack into your site and the reason that that is still something that they do is Because it's meaningful It's because they actually do find lots of sites that are broken that they can hack into So if we get better at security that becomes less meaningful and they'll do it less you'd assume But the one I want to focus on now is that sites have way more URLs Then you think Because you'd think for an average site five pages 30 blog posts Maybe a home page added no in total 35 40 URLs for that website, right in reality in wordpress This is much more likely You've created 30 blog posts You've added some tags to it not realizing that every tag that you create creates a new archive page in wordpress and Therefore creates a new URL to crawl for all those tools You've created some category pages you automatically if you don't disable them with a tool and WordPress core doesn't allow you to so you need a plugin to do that you automatically have date pages You automatically have author archives So instead of 35 URLs to crawl you have way more URLs to crawl ready and This is only the stuff that you could actually click to in your browser Because hidden in each of these posts WordPress adds way more stuff We WordPress generates a comment RSS feed for every post So the comments to that post live in a single RSS feed that Can be crawled And you're like but search engines aren't interested in that, right? Well, if you'll ever look at your own crawl logs, you'll see that they crawl your comment RSS feeds every day If not multiple times per day The most visited pages on yours calm it crawls the comment RSS feeds for those pages every 30 minutes Those things never change because no new comments come into all posts, but they still crawl them at 330 minutes We also have two o embed URLs o embed is a very nice protocol that you might remember from having a Vimeo or YouTube link You drop it into your editor and it turns into a video or whatever it is. You can do that with WordPress posts as well There's two ways of doing that with JSON and with XML and WordPress conveniently adds both of those to the source of every blog post out there and Search engines crawl every one of those links every single day Within those two o embed URLs is one embed URL Actually on most WordPress sites you can just add embed to the end of a permalink And you'll get the embed version of that page Search engines find that in those o embed URLs and then crawl that too We also create a short link for every page It's just a redirect, but you have to boot all of WordPress to get to that redirect So WordPress is is launched every time some some search engine or other But decides to look at that short link and see where it goes and then there's a REST API link This is one of the newest additions to this whole feast Where you can get the REST API version of that post I Don't know why WordPress exposes all of this on every page without ever asking you whether that's needed or not I think we shouldn't but every time I start having that commitment that discussion a Certain guy called Matt tells me that he wants to keep it Then on top of all this every hit to your website or every page view usually has a Few more side effects than the website of my father-in-law because most of y'all probably have a lot more CSS files and javascript files and images Than just for files for a page view So normally the impact of a page view is much much higher I've taken the liberty and I want to make absolutely sure that the team the word camp and L team is not getting mad at me So I've taken the liberty of using their site as an example I want to say that they can't change most of the stuff that I'm going to show you Because they host it on word camp org and if they were at liberty to change a lot of these things they would So it's not on them this is on word camp org itself But if you view the source of those pages you'll see these links No normal users ever going to see all any of this But it's there and every bot on the planet We'll find it and crawl it and and go deeper and deeper and deeper This doesn't end I Started looking at bot logs When I was working for the Guardian. This is about a decade ago now I was working on the migration from Guardian co UK to the Guardian calm And we started generating logs For how often does Google actually visit our site? And where is it looking and what do we which pages do we need to do something with when we migrate from the one domain to the other And I've been doing SEO for a while But I was still shocked Because in large sites like that what Google does is determines a list of hub pages Where all the new sites posted so the tag pages and a couple of others and it would crawl those pages About 85 of them every two seconds Literally 24 hours a day every two seconds Bing did the same At that time being sent about 2,000 visitors a month to the Guardian I Don't know how any of you ever look at your analytics and have looked at how much traffic you get from Bing But getting traffic from Bing at all is Pretty uncommon in the Netherlands But it would crawl at that rate it would crawl ridiculously fast and We were having the discussion like we are literally using entire servers That we're paying for Just to give Bing the contents of our website Shouldn't we do something with it? Well, I think we do so what can we do? Well to have less crawling We need to create less URLs or at least stop linking to them because the only reason that they're crawled is that we're linking to them That REST API endpoint that we're linking to is very useful if you're using it But funnily enough most of us never need that link in that page to actually use that REST API so why not just remove that link and And and just remove a whole lot of crawling if people actually want the comments RSS feed to your pages And then who we are still uses RSS on a daily basis And this isn't a room full of gigs. I see about 10 hands. I mean outside of this room There's not a whole people anymore that know what RSS is But of those people who uses RSS regularly who of you uses comment RSS feeds I mean, I was a very very big user of RSS back when Google Reader was still around But I never used to comment RSS feed It's absolute nonsense that we expose that all the time so We're going to disable those extra URLs Now I had build a nice plug-in for that and then I decided maybe we should just roll this into Yoast SEO So we did And we're going to I'm going to show you how that works I also want to talk a bit more to you about tags and how we clean up more of those URLs So if you use Yoast SEO and otherwise there are other means to do this But it is actually fairly hard to do most of these changes You can Disable a lot of these URLs and I would suggest that you do because you're actually Reducing the amount of crawls that your website is taking It also means that Google is spending the time that it's crawling your websites and crawling stuff that you are actually interested in Because a lot of the time when it is crawling your comment feeds and your RSS feeds. It's not crawling your new pages and The new pages are the things that you want to show up in Google's index. I also want you to have less tags I've been reviewing sites as an SEO For 16 years now every Well one in three at least of every website has more tags than it has posts If you realize that the sole purpose of tags is To connect posts to each other by topic Then having more tags than posts is meaningless and The problem is that everybody uses tags as they use tags on Instagram, which is a completely different thing Because on Instagram you're connecting your posts to a much wider array of posts on that tag Here you're just solely doing it within your site so please Clean up your tags and While you're at it clean up your categories too Because WordPress gives you two taxonomies. I Don't know why it does that. I don't think it's necessarily a good idea that we give people to taxonomies for a small website The fact that you can add more is great, but why you need to I don't know but If you do clean them up and also Don't feel bad about yourself Yoast.com uses tags exclusively Why well because we had categories to and then we had an SEO tag in an SEO category Yes, even us at Yoast makes stupid mistakes like that. It happens. It's not a bad thing But make sure you have only one. There's really no reason to have both Clean that stuff up. It would actually do wonders for your SEO as well to clean that stuff up and Make sure you redirect them all properly to pages where they fit if it put if a tag only has one post in it Delete it redirect it to the post that was in it problem-solve and Don't create all those tags a new Now WordPress has more bad habits and attachment URLs are my favorite Because I've never made mistakes with those Yoast SEO has a feature to disable attachment URLs Which you should use and if you don't use Yoast SEO then your SEO plugin has this feature too because all of us have it Why well because attachment URLs are a stupid idea when you upload an attachment to WordPress a file or something else WordPress generates a URL for it The thing itself already has a URL and the attachment page is fairly often not used But it is very often linked to anyway because WordPress does this automatically in some cases Get rid of them, please. It's it really is better for your site and then we have date and author archives If you Run a website with only one author Your author archive and your homepage archive are the exact same thing Only if you have a lot of authors and a lot of posts do all author archives start to make sense My favorite example of an offer archive is on a website called ma.tt from Matt himself. I Mean the author archive is useless, but it's there he's the only author and This is all stuff that WordPress does wrong, but unfortunately there are other bad actors in this space as well So on all three of these pages WordPress would serve the exact same page and The FBCL ID parameter that you see in the second URL there You might recognize When you click on in Facebook to a page, it's adds this Why does it add this? Well if you have a Facebook remarketing tag on that page Then Facebook can connect the remarketing tag To that to that visitor and knows who was there etc. Where they came from First of all, I think it's not a very good idea to do remarketing in general That's an entirely different topic. I'll happily talk to you about but This this FB click ID and Google does the same thing from Google AdWords and then Google crawls it itself So it sees links with a Google click ID from Google AdWords and starts crawling those URLs to check whether They're the same as the URL that it's actually pointing to We redirect most of these things away on Yoast.com, but it's actually fairly hard to do that reliably So you have to look at your own website and see like hey, which of these are coming in The sad story is that that means that most of you would have to look at your logs Which is fairly technical and then create redirects for parameters that you don't use Not something that anybody is going to do. I think Luckily, there are some ways to optimize that and We are talking a lot to search engines about how to improve this First of all, I want you to and I'll share these slides online later So you don't have to write this down, but if you have a Dutch website then Baidu Chinese search engines You probably don't need Yandex. We talked about that one Russian search engine. You probably don't need it either Sasnam is actually a Czech search engine It has still survived It is as old as Ilze, which some of you might remember in the Netherlands And I now see the youngsters from Yoast thinking what was that? Because people don't know that anymore, but some of those search engines survived in those countries and we need to help search engines Because search engines need to figure out what to crawl and what not to crawl Now we are talking to Bing about this a lot because Bing was the worst offender and Has actually improved a lot over the last few years. I Was emailing with Fabrice who's the head of Bing before this presentation a very nice French guy who leads up Bing and has actually made it into an OKR a Performance indicator for his team how efficient they crawl. You know why? Because it makes sense economically to them as well Less crawling Means a lot less money spent So they're working on something called index now. I had very Stark criticism of that when it first came out. They've changed the standards Luckily based on the feedback that we and others gave them And it's now actually fairly good And what they're trying to do more and more is move to a protocol where you are telling the search engine I've just created this page. I want you to index that Funnily enough as an SEO that means we've come full circle We went from URL submission Where you had to send the URLs to you on a form of the search engine to get them to be indexed To them crawling all the web the web by themselves and we're going back to your URL submission again Because it doesn't make sense for them to figure out which pages actually should be having visitors Now another thing that's very important for that, especially for the search engines that actually support it everyone but Google Is last modified in XML sidemaps? We've been doing that in Yoast SEO for forever But WordPress core is now once again working on getting last modified into the XML sidemaps for WordPress core, which is very important Because then what a search engine can do is it's gonna grab the XML sidemap from your site See which pages changed and Then only crawl those It's simple you'd think But Google keeps on saying that last modified is not Stable enough and too often goes wrong for them to actually trust the signal So they just rather keep on crawling everything. I Hope that changes at some point now. I'm going to make a Slightly big jump, but maybe not as well. I'll show you later why I've been mentioning before that the WordCampanel website has a lot of CSS and JavaScript Etc. And that doesn't make it necessarily faster and I want you all to build faster websites Why not and why well not just because the user likes it and because Google likes it But because faster websites use less co2. It won't save you crawls in fact For a lot of search engines if your website starts responding faster and being faster They will maybe even crawl your website a bit more Because they just assign a number of crawls to your site to have a Bucket of pebbles like and they take one out every time that they crawls they crawl your site So they might not necessarily crawl that much less But the difference is Staggering Remember those six hundred and eight thousand hits that my father-in-law's website had in the last 30 days This is a purely hypothetical number. I'm afraid it would actually be higher for the WordCampanel site But if the WordCampanel site had those six hundred and eight thousand hits over a year It would produce 80,000 kilograms of co2 we can talk about our gas bills and we can talk about Everybody needing to drive electrically if you're building websites. This is also a problem. You need to fix That's a lot of cups of tea and I don't even drink tea That's a hundred and forty one trees for one website and if you're thinking that's weird Well, look at how many data centers we have and where they place those data centers We have a couple of very big ones in the Netherlands in Groningen next to the energy sources My father-in-law's website is really fast. I Had some fun making it really fast But it only produces 56 kilograms of co2 with the same amount of hits in a yearly basis That is a ridiculously big difference That is why you need to make websites faster even more so than because we're all too lazy to wait for another second It's just better for the environment It's 50 times less co2 just by being faster being a faster site Now what if we optimize crawling? I've shown you some things that you can do yourself and we are continuously talking to the search engines about it but if we would optimize crawling for real and We would still give them give all those bots a fairly big allowance of crawling our site So instead of the 640 hits per month We'd get based on the page use we'd allow double of that. I Think that's generous. I Think it's ridiculous that we'd need anything more. It would use 0.12 kilograms of co2 on a yearly basis We can actually change this together. We can make The whole web use a lot less energy And we should It's over 25,000 times less co2 than what what would happen if We kept on going like we did and we used designs like the word campanel site with all of everything it has Which is much more common by the way than what the side of my father-in-law is So I'm coming to the end of my presentation and I'm going to ask you What are you still doing here? I Want you to talk about this think about this? Start blocking bots that you don't need create less URLs and Complain to people crawling you excessively Preferably on Twitter and other places where everybody can see it and they care Because if I on my own can shame Bing into actually crawling better Then you can help me do that and we can do a whole lot more I really think that we can make this more Well better for the environment better for ourselves and the funny thing is that in the end This should actually bring down the cost of hosting Because right now you are paying hosting for those 608,000 hits Because that's what those hosts are serving and if you have larger websites and you look at these These stats you'll find that a lot of your servers are running only for bots So you can save your own bill as well Was that thank you and now Wendy was still a bit surprised sorry We do have time for questions, I think I think for a lot actually that's a good question I should have thought about the marketing of this better That's a good that's a good question We should think you we should come up with honor like right now actually probably But optimized crawling would probably be a good idea to start with and and just tag me and I'll Float it along. I'm at Jay Devolk on Twitter Devolk, yeah You can do a yo stew, but they're done a whole lot of people start working on it. So just do me So the first thing if you're already using Yoast SEO go into the settings Go into the settings and and enable all those crawl optimization settings We don't dare to enable them by default for everyone because if your site depends on some of these being there We might break it and we don't like to break sites So that's the first thing I do then secondly depending on your audience I would start blocking bots There's really if you're if your site's in Dutch as I said Why would Cessna more and they are crawling your site? You can be almost a hundred percent certain of that And then start improving your website speed in the end that the the combination of those is what's me I mean what makes a really big difference and It's also Start thinking about what you're putting on online there and whether it's it's really needed And I think that's also a discussion that we we need to have more I think a lot of the things that you you need to do manually now. We should actually do in WordPress core Um Well, keep talking about it keep asking about it Ask ask the WordPress core team, which most of them will want to do this It is it sounds on No, no, no really So I honestly funnily enough the things that you're doing to optimize for the environment here are Entirely good for your SEO and Most of the time your SEO benefits Thinking about hey, what needs to be online and and what doesn't need to be online and which message do I want to sell very? Well, so I know I didn't have a change of heart at all In fact, I've been talking about this topic. I think for a decade now It's just that The time seems right for all of us to actually start doing a bit more about this It's it's been a problem for quite a while and It's also The search engines have Invested a whole lot into making better algorithms to search and in Understanding what's on the page etc? But they're basically crawling in the same way as they were 20 years ago. So it's time for Well, some more improvement in that area from their side And it's also time that we as well as the world start thinking about what do we want to allow? Do we think it's okay that? Well, you could go home now and start a crawler and just crawl the entire web and Do we think that that is a good idea that everybody can just do that or should we have some rules around that? Should it be a bit more opt-in instead of opt-out and There's a whole there's a whole lot of discussions that should be had around this and I'm not gonna answer all those questions today because I can't But I think it is something that we well, the that society is ready to talk about now and We have all these discussions about data centers, but nobody ever talks about this and The reason that those data centers are there is mostly because of this Google's data centers are for the last vast majority of things doing this and sending out YouTube movies That's what they do. I well, I'd hope so at some point, but PR has never been my strong point. I Think that would actually be a very good route to get some of those remover URLs in core removed Yeah, yeah Yeah, so what WordPress does you can register it in image size and if you register it Then every image you upload will be changed into that image size as well. There's no There's honor off. There's no in between like saying hey, I only need these for these types of images or I only There are very good solutions for fixing this so far Matt is blocking all of them He has literally did just as we cancelled web P Which was which would have been a great improvement and To come into six point one Or by default for everyone so but there are good solutions for this and so far they're being blocked because that would Hamper some people in what they're doing. I don't agree That might be clear But yeah, no, you're right if you go into your fee me you see a lot of image sizes That's not a good idea because your server will let well every upload you do takes longer Because what it does on your upload is it changes to it?  I didn't know whether that's necessarily a problem I mean if it's a stock image that you no longer have in your website That someone can't reach anymore that probably doesn't really make that much of a difference I'm My opinion is that we should change more of these things for users and not have users changed it Because because it's just too hard. So we should just make this better in court or Whatever editor it is you want to use And subpoena up front I Know I actually think that you'd be shocked to see how much traffic this is It's hard to calculate that right but that's true for all of these things But if you consider the 608,000 hits that we talk about for my father-in-law's website That is one of the tiniest websites in the Netherlands My wife is now mad at me, but Now but and we have a ton of sites if you consider that the Netherlands has more than 2 million registered Domains that probably way more. I don't know if there's anyone here that actually has it But there there are tons and tons of sites It's doing this everywhere and on most sites it crawls a whole lot more Yos.com gets this amount of crawls on a daily basis almost And that's a huge site, but it is like at the same time There are a lot of sites like yos.com. There's a lot of in-between This is a huge amount of traffic That being said that doesn't mean that all those video servers should not optimize their video streams Of course, they should also do that But the thing is that we talk about data senders as something very far away from us And it's actually They are there because we do stuff And we can't just complain about not having wanting data centers and then just keep on doing whatever What it is we're doing? Well, I work for one I'm an advisor to Newfold and I intend to spread this message far and wide we host Millions of WordPress sites and Just sites in general if hosting companies together can fix this that would be ideal, but it means us talking to search engines and Luckily, we're now getting to the point where I can talk to some of them and they are getting they are being Open to the idea of of improving this But it's also very hard for them to build something that they can actually spread across the web What Google is involved with WordPress because in WordPress they can optimize these things and then they can change it for 30% or so of what they're crawling on a daily basis There's more sites that run on WordPress, but they don't update So if you don't and if they don't update then Google doesn't get the benefit either so Yes, we should talk about this Hosts should come together and talk about this with those search engines more and everybody should talk about this more and also to their customers Hosts should be helping their customers baking faster websites because that helps as well and Maybe host should start help help their customers build robots.txt files and just block stuff and I'm myself I'm getting very very close to going from Opt-in to up from opt-out to opt-in Just blocking all bots in robots.txt by default and allowing the search engines that we want to crawl our site but that is To do that a EOS SEO would be Political to say the least So we're not there yet


Yeah, good to go if you're ready on you can get started to other packages and I will show the example of siesta for example You have different packages which also which Which can be used by Abinit and siesta, but of course Both codes have different build systems and different philosophies. So they are there needs to be a bit more than just these very simplistic wrappers and So what what has happened in the last couple of years is To to be able to use different solutions We have started to to improve The build systems and test suites of the packages in In siesta starting with the the common ones that they were for Abinit So now Leap PSML for example as standard build system auto tools based The same we have done the same for LibFDF. LibGridixi is work in progress As well as fluke and other dependencies of course came already with standard build system like Libint or net CDF Also Vanya 90 which is also a common dependency of both was Let's say I I provided already quite some time ago a Standard build system for for it What what also happens With I would say It's not really When you want to generate pseudo potentials for example the You you may use the same program with with Abinit and siesta but in different conditions for example Abinit is able to process the The output of oncv PSP so to use the subbot it potentials generated in the native format of oncv PSP, but siesta Requires a PSML patch What happens is that since Abinit is also able to use the PSML we We want to distribute also the the oncv PSP with the PSML patch and since This is not always trivial to to have everything working after applying this patch so we We want to have an automated Solution and robust solution to do this so just to To summarize what we have so for for Abinit We have Some Some dependencies that here We will exclude for the moment big DFT because The version of big DFT which is used by Abinit is a heavily patched one and so for this we will wait Simple dependency like a tempo can be managed very easily with just one One config file and then Some of the the dependencies of siesta so libGridixi out of interest to other codes, so we We put them as also prioritary and we want first to have the everything working for The common dependency of the code and of course we don't want to to take care of some parts like MPI linear algebra things like HDF 5 or FFT, so we we want something which is Already provided and easy build Actually provides all of these components that we need so removing a lot of complexity From our site to manage so the the efforts Started let's say individually, but they are there are no Perform collaboratively within the electronic structure library, so just for people who do not know about it to to some to to briefly summarize it is it's an initiative which Ames that providing modular software components to To to to either to build a new electronic structure codes or to improve the structure of existing Codes and also to for new commerce to to to reduce the The Sorry the learning is a step that they have to to go through so the DSL works through The usual source code repositories that you can find so now we are moving Most of the code to gitlab.com with mirror in on github Some components are developed through big bucket and launchpad, so it depends on the preference of developers So the SL organizes monthly video conferences and Also yearly coding workshops, which is where most of the of the efforts are Performed so we have very very intensive two weeks usually where we advance most of the ESL projects and also everything can be found on the wiki and Where we will enhance soon things about documentation about good practices and all related topics so the Through the ESL what we do is so we have Since last year What we have called the ESL demonstrator, which is a very small electronic structure code that Uses both plane waves. So like having it or atom centered orbitals like siesta and Which is built from the different components of the ESL which are Where the the dependencies of siesta and abinita included So to To manage the dependencies we are internally we use A bundle that is based on GH build so GH build was the build system of GNOME, but can be also used for More projects with just very little tuning so it proved to be a very interesting solution for us up to now and Since now it's it starts to to be working pretty well we We have started just in our yearly workshop this month. So two weeks ago the repository of easy configs for all these Dependencies that I've shown before So this is still in a relatively early stage so the The the point is to Every six months what we want to do is to produce a release of the ESL bundle so with new versions of the of all these libraries and packages that That I've shown before for a two easy build to a tool chain So the once the ESL bundle is released we produce The the easy configs for the force and Intel So the current one And the we prepare also for the for the upcoming one so we our aim is to release one month before each a new Version of the tool chain will be released by easy build and to to propose to send the pull requests As soon as possible when these tool chains are published and then Yeah on top of the ESL bundle I've started to to maintain also an abinit bundle and a siesta bundle Because the ESL bundle does not contain all the dependencies of abinit and siesta and This is done in a way that it It keeps synchronized always with the ESL bundle so Now we are at the first Release cycle, so we are This time we we won't propose The The easy configs for the force and Intel 2019 a but we are we think that for the 2019 b things will be will be ready and will be able to to include them in In easy build So to summarize the these efforts that started in 2019 into 17 sorry So In 2017 we first implemented a proof of concept in the university of cantabria Where I am now and We have started to share between 2017 and 2019 The the easy configs produced with partners And gathered some feedback And then I started to to submit some pull requests last year To easy build to start collaborating with the developers of easy build and So now just now we have Started this integration phase of easy configs Into the the ESL so the the files are there and you can access them on githlab.com But where then the wheel and it will be In six months that we will be able to To share them with easy build And Next stage will be to start managing abinit and siesta dependencies through Through this this strategy So In In this talk I've so I've I've shown you briefly How we we have gone from ad hoc solutions to manage the dependencies of Electronic structure codes to a global solution That hopefully will be Used Robosely and on the long run And from my side From the The experience I've had with easy build so far I have a little wish list Which is for me the the the most important thing is that It gets proper python 3 support because this is becoming more and more difficult to get To get it working With python 2 on On recent machines And What happens in our hpc cluster is that we We often run out of space because we have a group quota And so that would be nice to to have an uninstall feature in easy build so that We are pretty sure not to remove the wrong files Also Sometimes yeah I've seen that the style of the easy configs is changing Over time and it's not always easy to know which is the most up-to-date best practice For to write new easy configs or to to improve the existing ones And And Yes for easy blocks I also Encounter some issues Writing easy blocks because sometimes I write it on a machine and it works on that machine and I move to another machine and it stops working And I'm not able to always find the why so That would be nice to have some some more information on this Okay, so that's that's all for from my side. So I think I think the organizer for having Given me this opportunity to to share this experience and Thank you for your time Thank you very much, Jan Can you hear me for questions? Yes. Okay excellent. There's a question on the chat And yeah, and actually it's the same question I had as well. So you're collecting these ESL bundled easy configs and the github github repo Yeah, do I get that right that after after six months you plan to contribute them back into the central easy configs repository? Or is that going to keep? Yes, exactly. Exactly. Okay good. So that's that's the That's the point but we want to have them first in a in a repository of our own to test them ourselves So that that means you will always be one generation behind the latest common tool chains or No, what we okay when we When we release the The ESL bundle in principle, it should be one month before the the new easy build tool chain So we we first produce easy configs for the current Toolchain and then when the new toolchain is published one month later, we we will test We will produce the the corresponding easy configs and Test them and send also a pull request for them. Right. So basically you might have two pull requests one when we publish The the ESL bundle for the current tool chains and one month later or one month and a half later Another pull request for the new tool chain, right? So you'll do an update of the tool chain in place and then make sure it work It still works with the new compilers and so on. Yes. Okay. Yeah Yeah, because sometimes we have some very bad surprises with new compilers versions. Yep No kidding indeed. Um, any any other questions in the room? No, I do have a one or two more questions. So Um, it looks like you're trying to convince the the electronic structure code community to Switch or at least adopt easy build for installing all dependencies and the code themselves How much effort did it take to convince people that this was a good idea? Uh, I would say it it depends on how long people have been using A different solution for example for siesta that was not very difficult They they could see the value of it relatively quickly But for abinit, this is still very hard to convince people to uh, that's Uh, to to to give uh, let's say to give up a bit on the abinit fallbacks because it's really deeply entrenched in their habits Okay, and one one more question you mentioned that Um, python 3 support is on the top of your wishlist because you're starting to run into problems on really new systems Yeah, what kind of systems are these which operating system? For example, I I installed recently a nubuntu 18.4 and I have some inconsistencies because If I want to use easy build there, I have to you to install a python 2 Okay, there are two two problems. Yeah, the I start to have some inconsistencies when I when install python 2 packages and another thing is that Uh, yeah, the the virtual amp this is it the the virtual amp No, I don't know there's something with the its dependencies that is not working completely well in in this new version Because sometimes I got it it looks for uh, python modules in the wrong directories. So okay And do I get a right that python 3 is default in the latest ubuntu? As a system python, okay. Yeah, so that's a very good point. Okay Yeah, I don't know if you noticed yesterday during the talk, but python 3 support is on the top of our wishlist as well For easy 4 so yeah, I saw some mentions of it Hopefully in the coming months, we'll actually tackle that. Yeah Any other questions so that that's great Okay, no more questions. Thank you very much, Jan for taking the time. Okay. Thanks a lot


Nice to be here in the beautiful city of Portland, and thanks to the float on guys for the great marketing presentation. Such an important part of any business, right, is marketing, reaching the public, how do we organize and get people into our center that we're so passionate about. I am Melanie, I'm with At Peace Flotation Spa in Dallas, Texas. I am a massage therapist by trade. I stumbled upon At Peace two or three years ago when I moved to Dallas from New Mexico, where I'm originally from, and just fell in love with floating. I started floating there. We have a little different style of flotation cabins, we call them, so they're not the traditional tank that we see a lot of. This is our facility in Collieville. It's just small, intimate, we have two float rooms and three massage therapy rooms, and I also do massage therapy for At Peace there. This is one of our float cabins, so I just wanted to inspire you a little bit at where you can go with creating your float center. So I'm assuming if you're sitting in the audience today that you are inspired to create a float center, and you've been given a lot of really amazing information to do that. So in addition to our spa, our retail spa, we also have a manufacturing company. So we manufacture flotation tubs and install them. This is ours. We have a rock, faux wall on the outside. This is our first room that we have. So they're really, I don't know if you can't really tell, but on the bottom right you'll see a little mat, very bottom right. So the shower's just to the right. So I'll show you a couple of other images of clients that we've had and how the shower sets up really close to that flotation tub, which makes cleaning really, really easy, which is important. This is our other tub, so we have a bamboo cover on this one. So we've designed them both kind of contemporary and upbeat. We have a lot of really bright, vibrant colors in our spa. Fairly easy to clean. We can install them with a window or without. We've had people do them both ways. So this is a client of ours out of St. Louis float in St. Louis. And so you can see on theirs they have the shower right next to the entrance into the tub, which is amazing because as you all know who floated, and I'm sure you all have, as soon as you get out the salt goes everywhere, right? And cleanup is a big issue when you're transitioning from one client coming into the next. So you don't want that spa room to be dirty. You want it to be impeccably clean for that next individual. So the less cleaning you have to do, obviously, the better. Also float in St. Louis. I believe they do a lot of networking with chiropractors, acupuncturists, mental health professionals. And so as they were just segueing into that, it's really, really great to be able to network with other health care providers, massage therapists. With our spa, we have three massage therapy rooms. And we have how many Donna therapists now, eight massage therapists. So we offer, we do sell a lot of massage, and the massage is a really great addition to the spa. This is Mountain Float Spa in New York. And I believe they're above a yoga studio, which is really convenient. And they also offer massage therapy. Again, the close proximity of the shower. And I really love what they've done with their walls where they just have the decals. So with our spas, you can decorate them however you want, which is kind of cool. And it really allows you to engage that level of creativity when you're putting in your space. So they have one that has a rock cover, kind of like ours. And the other one has that really cool tree that I just think is awesome. This is salt work, salt water, sport and spa. And I really love their tile work. So they did a really good job with the tile work. These are all our spas, but they've all decorated them a little bit differently. So they have a really beautiful glass shower, doors there. Again close proximity to the tub. These guys offer a sports massage, physical therapy, I believe, as well as the flotation. So we're starting to see a lot of this integration with flotation therapy with other modalities. And I really love to have my clients come and float first before a massage because the magnesium sulfate is obviously going to relax the muscles. It's going to relax the mind, the central nervous system, and really prepare them to receive more healing work from me when they see me next. So it's just such a wonderful complimentary therapy. This is baripods, and these guys have a really cool spin. So they do mind, body and hair. So it's a full service salon. So you're really only limited by your imagination when you open your facility. I'm sure we're going to get to hear a lot of really interesting stories about individuals that have opened spas and where they've led, just like we heard right before I got out here, you know, with all of the art, you know, culminating, the music, massage therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic, all of these really interesting things that blend so nicely. Another one of our clients is Uncharted Waters Float Center. And again, these are just to give you some perspective on all the different things that you can do and all the different designs that are possible with our spas. So just to give you a little bit of information as to what our spas are like, where they come from, our spas are all manufactured in Texas. So they're cast in Fort Worth, Texas, the fiberglass tubs are made there. They're shipped over to our facility in Colleyville, Texas, which is only about 15 miles away. At that point, we build out frames for the tubs. So we start there. We do a gel coat on the inside of the tub. We can do those in several different colors. The most popular we have is a dark blue. Everybody seems to go with that one lately. But we also have a light blue and a tan gel coat on the inside. So we build out the frame, set the tub inside the frame, and then we'll start installing our heat strips. So our personal R-Spa, we started with two heat strips on the bottom. And so ours that we provide now have four. We've never had a problem with our heat strips. None of them had ever gone out in eight years. So they're pretty reliable, I would say. And so now you have four that are installed now. So the chances are very, very good that none of them will ever fail you. We also start to drill the holes for the air switch. So we have an air switch for light, and we have an air switch for music. We wire the music to an iPod docking station so you can hook up MP3, iPod, whatever. We try to keep it really simple. We don't like to have a lot of bells and whistles in our tubs. And you don't really need them. I mean, the whole experience of flotation is sensory deprivation, restricted environmental stimulation therapy, right? So having lights and having amazing music is great. Well, just like Graham was talking about, most people don't want it. Once they experience that silence, that's what people are going for. So they do have the option of turning the lights on or off, music on or off from inside our tum. We have, of course, our intake and outtake valves. These are all drilled and installed prior to being shipped. So this is what our finished product looks like before we ship it out to our spas.  And then we'll ship this entire tub to you with the window, if you want the window, and also the door on top. And then our guys meet the shipment there and come on over to your facility and start installing it. And they'll work with your contractors, they'll work with your electricians, obviously, work with your floor layout. We have a really great group of people in Dallas that are really a joy to work with and a great sense of humor as well, which I appreciate. So these are our raw finished products from At-Piece. So both of these have the window and the door. Some people have opted out of the window. You can actually do a little bit of customization with the door, can face right, can face left. You can widen it if you wanted to make it handicap accessible or accessible for people who couldn't step up taller. So these are our finished products that you can foe out whatever way you'd like. So the three things that we like to say about our spas are we're simple. Like I said, don't have a lot of bells and whistles. We're just the basics and our prices reflect that. So we have really inexpensive prices. We're reliable. I think in eight years we've had to replace one pump. So they're very, very reliable. Our pumps are reliable, filters reliable, the tubs are wonderful. They're easy to access if anything goes wrong. It's located right next to it. So everything, you can see everything, right? And best of all, they're affordable. So we have a really, really great price point. We sell one spa installed for 19.5, two installed for 37. So we have really good prices and really good qualities. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.


All the snowy mountains I'm Lavi and this is Ollie over the past four years we have been on some epic adventures around the world Now after converting an old van into our new home on wheels We are ready to hit the road and explore the wonders of Europe Click the subscribe button to follow our journey and let the adventure begin Welcome to our other team. I'm just eating some cereal and having a coffee This morning We are in the Swiss Alps We slept last night we parked our camper van here by the side of the road in a town called Hebrigen Which is just a small town in the valley here and This car park is directly in front of This train station We're about to take a train to go further up into the valley and towards the big snowy mountains and Lavi's just preparing us some lunch Because today we're going on a hike. We've got some olives some olives. We've got some camembert Egg and bread some fruits. We've got it all got some nuts as well We're really prepared for a nice good hike today and the weather looks absolutely incredible not a cloud in the sky It's going to be blue skies sunshine and we can see the snowy mountains over there in the distance So that's where we're headed today, but we'll tell you a little bit more about that later on Our train Is due to arrive in like one minute But it's just on the opposite side of the road. So that's nice and easy So the train's about to arrive and we are at the station Hebrigen We're going to take the train four stops to Zermatt. Now this train goes twice an hour at 21 past and 44 past the hour and It's just coming right now This train's empty But it's really nice and it's nice and warm and last night was really really cold So the return ticket price from Hebrigen to Zermatt is 77 Swiss francs for the both of us Which is quite expensive, but it is a really nice train and It is also free parking in Hebrigen Very special because in this town they have no people on bicycles and everybody walking around It's so quiet here. It's really nice and the main reason why they did it was about Air pollution and being able to actually see the mountains around them, which is so cool that they prioritized that But this town Zermatt is actually only accessible by either train or I guess hiking and that's it So that helps to really preserve this unique and special atmosphere of the place But as special and unique as this town is this is not what we're here to see So we have another cable car to take up a mountain to two and a half thousand meters the Sun has arrived We are going actually through a tunnel, which is like like this steel Our third gondola trip of our van adventure so far and we are now going up even higher into the mountains Nice So we have arrived here at the top cable car station called Blauherd station It's a 2,571 meters above sea level and we skipped all of the walking up to the altitude and Actually now we're just going to be walking kind of down back to the previous station So this hike we're going to do today is called the five lakes walk as you'd imagine It passes by five mountain lakes of which apparently three of them have a beautiful reflection of Matterhorn Directly in them supposed to be a really spectacular trail and you can already see the mountain scenery around us is absolutely Amazing. Oh, yes Look at these valley views All the snowy mountains That crazy mountain behind us is the iconic Matterhorn and that's the most famous peak in this whole area of the Swiss Alps It is four thousand four hundred and seventy eight meters above sea level That's crazy high It's one of the highest peaks in Europe One of the highest peaks in the Alps and they didn't manage to actually climb it until 1865 That expedition didn't go very well Because out of the seven people who went up Only three of them actually came back down apparently more than 500 people have died on the slopes of that mountain making it actually one of the most dangerous peaks in the world So we're going to stick down in the valley here and just enjoy the views of the mountain Without actually risking our lives going up the mountain But it's not the only massive peak in this region. There's actually thirty eight four thousand meter plus peaks in the Zermatt area Which is absolutely insane, but for now We're gonna enjoy this five lakes valley walk and All the beautiful snowy mountain views that surround it We have arrived at the first lake this beautiful lake is called Steady's here and I think it's the largest lake here It's a very very beautiful beautiful lake and we could see already that there are some fishes in it Wow, and this lake sits at two thousand five hundred meters above sea level. That's crazy But it's absolutely stunning With these peaks around and the view of the crazy Matterhorn Mountain behind us reflected in the water It's absolutely The most picturesque the most yeah, wow Number two the name is grindy say and it's a little bit smaller than the first lake But it's as beautiful the water is really clear. You can see fishes. It's very nice some nice pine trees around Very very peaceful. It looks like a good place to have a lunch break. I think so. I think it's about that time We have arrived at Lake number three This one has really pretty red flowered shrubs all around it which is Absolutely beautiful and there's some yellow ones and some green ones. Look at that It's like a multicolored background And this lake is called green there For me at the moment it looks more blue than green, but it's so pretty here I think this is my favorite lake so far Yeah It's a very blue lake But it's not called blue lake. What's it called La Vie? Was easy It looks so nice and blue. You can really see like this glacier water in there. It's absolutely so beautiful Wow, I just want to dive in one more lake to go And we've still got the crazy Matterhorn views in the background The backdrop for this entire hike star of the show So here it looks like we are coming back into the Ski village and I think that's where the last lake is located right there just by the cable car station I think this place is called Senegal and from here you can actually take the cable car Back down to Zelmat. We are gonna hike back down to Zelmat Which apparently is another couple of hours back down into the valley down there Here it is the last lake and this last lake is called Sounds like lazy And I think this is the lake where people come to be lazy because You can just come straight out of the station here at Senegal and Go jump straight in the water With this view behind you It's pretty cool. I think After quite a long hike on a hot day. It's time for us to take a dip in the water So apparently only one of us is going in.  It's like burning the skin cold But it is refreshing after a long hike in the sun We have left the last of the five lakes and actually there at Senegal station That's the end of the five lakes walk But to save on the price of two gondola tickets back down to Zelmat We decided to walk down. It's only about two and a half kilometers But it's about 600 meters down and all the signs said to go on these like roads going around But on maps me we saw like one trail which is just going directly down to Zermatt So we're taking that now and we're gonna see how it is. Yeah, just hoping the best that it's not like Rock climbing It looks quite good so far. Oh my god, this looks like a real steep way down but We've done some steep trails before So hopefully we can do this one. We've made it down to the other trail The crazy steep part is over nice. Oh my god. I can feel my knees. Oh my god My legs are shaking. We just did a massive descent in about 40 minutes. So now it's quite an easy trail round and down to the train station Still there in its parking spot. It's always nice to be back home. Yeah 10 hours later We have returned from up there In the snowy peaks at the top to down here in The pretty cold valley It was really really nice to be all amidst the snowy mountains all the peaks everywhere Right in the shadow of Matterhorn Brilliant, brilliant walk really, really nice. So we're gonna hit the road now and probably just stop at a rest area on the highway We're heading now towards France But we really hope that you enjoyed this hiking experience in the Swiss Alps in the snowy peaks We absolutely loved it We hope that you did too.
