Hello everyone and welcome to React knowledgeable as well as some guests that welcome to the shopping office. So my name is Thien, I'm working as a finance software engineer for Shoppe. So today my talk will be about the CSSCOM and CSSCOM EU highlights and okay let's start it. So the CSSCOM and CSSCOM EU was organized was just around three weeks ago in Berlin. Usually the CSSCOM and the CSSCOM will be organized together and this year I have an opportunity to go to Berlin and enjoy them in three days. So I will talk briefly about about the CSSCOM EU. So CSSCOM EU is one of the largest CSSCOM in the world. It started in 2009 and the organizers of CSSCOM EU was actually inspired after they attended the CSSCOM US and back to 2009, JavaScript is really really in very early stage and we don't have a community. As we show here in 2009 when we say JavaScript most people will think of jQuery and people can think don't think that we can do more than that with JavaScript and at that time because other languages like Python they have a strong community and already that's why the organizer of CSSCOM EU really want to have a contribution to the development of JavaScript community and it's a story. So CSSCOM EU has gone through 10 years and over these 10 years that it actually has an impact in the development of JavaScript community. For example on the first CSSCOM EU not just was introduced to the world. Later on in 2012, TypeScript was publicly introduced to the community after being used two years internally by Microsoft. And one year later React was reintroduced at CSSCOM EU as well after it has been introduced in US and inspired lots of people. And last year at CSSCOM EU 2018 the creator of Notch.js officially launched the general which is actually a new thing that we would like to fix the issues with Notch.js there's a very interesting talk about that like 10 things that he regrets about doing with Notch.js and for the CSSCOM EU it started in 2013 and from that until now every year it will consider as a sister conference with CSSCOM EU. A very bad news is that this year will be the last CSSCOM and CSSCOM EU which is a bit sad but the organizer really do this for 10 years and after that they did lots of things and now the conference is so big that they cannot continue with this format anymore. So this year we have around more than 1200 developers from more than 25 countries joining CSSCOM EU. So they will take a break and maybe they come back in the near future with a new format. So I will highlight a bit some of the very interesting talk about CSSCOM EU as well as CSSCOM EU because I'm not really a CSS people I just those are the talk that I found is more relevant and might be interesting for most of us. Due to the time constraint I will not go through all of the talks because I don't think that I can do better than the speakers to deliver what I want to say in the talk. I only highlight some of them. A very interesting I would like to mention is about a talk about functional CSS. So what is functional CSS? It's just a way you write CSS in too smaller class and very atomic that you can reuse everywhere. For example for display flex or flex direction column at this direction I can just create a class for that property only and the good thing of it is that it's very minimum and you can reuse a class. For example the display flex due to the different implementation in the browser it has different prefix depends on the web engine. So display flex will be able to be fixed into three lines for this for example like this. So if we use a functional CSS we don't have to have lots of duplication in the style sheet and can produce it as minimum as possible and by doing this you also don't have to worry about the rules which rules will apply first if you shop for the style because every style is very atomic and those are some of my highlights about the JSConf EU. So because this really a big conference and most of the talk happening at the same time. So actually I didn't attend all of them but those are my highlights about the talks. I divide them into four categories. The Java script in general, the front-end, the Node.js one and the others interesting talk for example they show you how to build a Java script engine by in Rust or explain about how adblocker works and how the website are fighting back with adblockers. Those are very interesting talks and since I am a front-end developer I will focus more on the front-end part. So these are the two talks that I would like to highlight in my presentation today is that the problem with Node.js and front-end developer nowadays is about how do you maintain and manage your package. So who hates young install or NPM install raise your hand. Okay you're not alone I'm one of them so I have the pain that for example I work on multiple branches on features every time I check out to a new branch a new feature I have to run young install again and sometimes it takes so long it takes like two or three minutes to install all the packages I want and when I check out back again I have to run young install again. Not too bad I decided to get a cup of coffee in wait time and I think I drink too much coffee. So it is a problem that there are two very interesting talks that they would like to solve it so the talk the first talk is about think so in short the idea is that you don't have to run young install you can move that to a runtime so the idea is that all the packages will be lazy loaded and it will and one more issue with the NPM packages is that when you download a library over the network there are many things that you are downloading together not just the logic that you want like the documentation the test the raw source code but even actually you can you just need the minify version or something like that so think is an effort to just download what you want for example like it just download the entry point of that library and it cache it and even if you check out to another branch because it keep a local version of the library already so you don't have to run young install and actually it will be faster a very interesting about thing is that the thing the thing was introduced first and immediately after that there is a talk about young 2.0 and they have a similar idea so so team they want to install less packages right but young they want zero they want a zero instance it will be the upcoming features for next version of young so the idea is that we will add all the files to the heat report you commit everything into the commit so it sounds horrible it's like I don't want to commit like 500 megabyte of packages into my report but actually because young already have a plug-in late and play feature it means that it can guarantee that one package is mapping it's to 1.5 so with plug-in play and zip loading you don't have to worry much about that and the young team actually talked to the colleagues in github to mention this issue and they say it's fine so it's very interesting that we can wait for the upcoming release of young so yeah this is my photo with the creator of think she's very interesting lady and one minute for advertisement is that thing is now under the repo npm and they are working on it so if you want to really and she is the man maintainer for this thing and if you want really to have this you can take a look another thing I'm quite impressed is about introduction to the version 1.0 version of stencil so what is stencil in short it is a compiler for web component the good thing about stencil is that it has zero dependencies so basically stencil is not a library it's a compiler provide a tiny API which is using gsx syntax and asynchronous rendering it will compile your source code to pew JavaScript and on and it's based on the web component standard so the reason why they view stencil is that what one thing I read to mention here is that stencils is created by the quality of myonic so the reason why they come up with this idea is that the very first version of Ionic they view it on Angular v1 and then later the v2 of Angular is released and as we know it's a totally new thing and they have to rewrite lots of things so that's why they come up with idea is that to write a component in the UI maybe it's not a good idea that you rely on the framework or library but they would like to rely something like on the web standard the web platform standard like a web component is something that will always be there and even if and stencil it's just a compiler it will compile your code into web component so even if in the future stencil is not there you can still use it use your component to ship it everywhere one interesting use case is that maybe for example in shopping right now we are using react.js and we have lots of utilities and UI component that we would like to share but think about it for example in the future if we don't use react.js anymore we use something like the X framework or something or library it means that all our library cannot be used anymore right you have to rewrite it but if we would we use something like this we can just get that component and use it everywhere as long as support a web standard so yeah this is then so this year they officially introduced the 1.0 version of stencil in just com and yeah I actually in the this talk also the guy with the red t-shirt yeah just in front of the speaker yeah you can see me in the talk so this is really selling point that the Ionix team is trying to sell is that since it relies on web component and it has zero dependencies you can view a very to do MPC app very small size so the small size is really a selling point for stencil however stencil is still a young library I think it's we can give it a try with a smaller scale and they don't really recommend us to use it as a framework but rather to use it as a way to generate the component rather than use it as a as a framework for your whole big app so Ionix team is uses a lot they use it the stencil to build a UI component that can be reusable yeah and I think I have cover some of the very highlight of the talks that I found is more relevant to me and maybe interesting to us so for the next part I would like to highlight something it's why should we as developer should go to conference is it really so because over two years I attended quite a number of conferences and lots of people asked me why do you do that is it really useful or just a waste of time and money or you just want to travel so so this is my answer okay I will highlight a bit about me I Joy Shoppe in July 2017 exactly two years ago less than two years I guess and I attending the react euro last year and this year I was fortunate to have the opportunity to attend it the Google IO in Mountain View and the just come you you just this month so it means I have less than two years of working point time yeah and have a 10 like quite a lot a number of famous conferences so the first reason is that it is a chance for you to meet people the core people of doing things like you can contribute to the standard open web like at conference like just come you this year you can have a chance to talk to the people of the TC 39 panel and you can talk to them and why you need to contribute to this thing because if you wait until aspect is done and implementing by the browser and you look at it and you say it's rubbish it's too late for you to say so so go into conference is the fastest way that you can meet those people and let's say you have a request it's a I think I have a use case that can be useful then you can talk to them and they can propose you some way if you really wanted to write this request because everything is ongoing so I actually talked to the Mozilla team I asked I talked to them that this year I attended the Google IO and I see Chrome is implementing the lazy loading for image but I don't see any plans for Mozilla 5 Fox yet they have any ongoing process on that so it's a chance for you to tell them that I want this thing I want this implementation and yeah so I think what I really think is that because we are for the GS in general in specific because I'm not sure about other platforms so it's really an open standard and you can actually contribute to it you technology is changing and you can help to develop to shape what we will be in the future so either you are part of it or you are left behind and you cannot complain that this sucks this doesn't work one more thing I want to highlight is that this is the statistics in 2019 on average every day there will be more than 1 million new internet users and where do they come from they do not come from US or Europe they are coming from developing countries they come from China they come from India they come from Southeast Asia so we as a developer in developing countries in Southeast Asia we should be a representative because the problem we are doing every day here is the problem that other developers all around the world is trying to solve and it is also with a chance for you to tell the others about you and your work so I take this slide at this here Google IO and actually Sharpie was feature is one of the talk about performance and as you see here that is very true that a good example of performance or user experience can be found everywhere and so maybe the problem you are solving every day optimization issue you are working every day the book you are fixing every day actually has an impact and the other is also looking for the answer for this so please go out and share them discuss about the solution because eventually right for big companies like if like Google Facebook everywhere they are shifting to the new market to developing countries that's why recently like Facebook they are doing very interesting project involved in India or something okay it sounds interesting I would like to go to Congress now but how if it's really expensive for example like it's not really affordable for me to go to US or Europe to attend a conference I really wanted but it's a bit expensive what can you do the first thing is that ask for your company for help is I think the most is the easiest way as a Sharpie we have this kind of financial support as self-development for employees and if your company can help with that you can ask for the organizers most of the conference they will care of donations and they can have the budget for to help people from really disadvantaged background or those that they think that you can bring some values to the conferences and in a watch case you cannot go very far you can go to a local meet-up like like the meet-up we're going to have in Sharpie after my talk yeah so I will say a bit about just come you so I will use this slide to show my thanks a lot for the just come you organizer because they have the scholarship I applied for that and they give me the scholarship I really appreciate that and it's like what I want to say it's like one what you if you want to go and you want you need help just approach the organizers actually they will would like you to come because I I wrote them about a story I grew up in the countryside part of Vietnam every in my childhood right what I see is that every day I I ride a bicycle like 5 a.m. to school I see the right field of follow along along the way and I managed to find a way to Singapore to get a to study in Singapore and then I find a way to U.S. later on I would like to go out to the conference like in Europe and so many places so yeah and this is the end of my presentation and thanks a lot for your listening but I think it's not the end yet I believe that next year if I have attending an interesting conference and I have something to share I will have another sharing soon yeah thanks sorry so what Mozilla said is that they are working on it and I asked very about very specific reason is that why in Chrome the way they implemented is now is that even I specify the size and width of my image they still download the first 2 kilobyte of the image yeah it's I raise a use case is that maybe like it's something that they should consider as I if I I need a way to specify that I don't need to download it at all I can specify some attributes for them to do that and yeah yeah they say that they will consider and yes yes but you know what because but the point is that you want to talk to them and maybe I if they don't really do that maybe I will create a pull request for them in GitHub raising that pressure yeah I don't know yet okay usually I will tell where I come from and what I work on like I say that I usually start when I work for e-commerce website and we say oh what is a company so shopping the largest e-commerce in Southeast Asia yeah and yeah it's like and I I talk about the work I work every day I like I spend a lot of time on the server render and yeah they asked me and then actually they asked me some questions about server render because they are doing that also so for example I talked to one of the oh about a sensor also because I was impressed by the talk about sensor so I I spent I spent a bit I stay a bit and I asked some questions like can you use it in black scale or any big corporation is doing it and actually one of the engineers in from Spain he say that he works for the bank and they're using that a bank in Spain yeah and they use it a lot in the main website and that's why I really surprised and I asked him how you do that and you have seen any issues so far he said they don't face any serious issues yeah thank you


This is Think Tech Hawaii, Community Matters here. Okay, we're back. We're back with Community Matters. I'm J. Feidels, a three o'clock rock. Okay, we have Claire Hannes again. She's immigration attorney and the founder of- Aloha Immigration. Aloha Immigration. There should be Aloha in immigration. There needs to be more of it. I'm trying client by client, case by case. Well, you practiced immigration law for many years, actually. And in various places and contexts and all that, you've seen a lot come and go, but you're now in a special time, aren't you? This is different than anything you've seen before. Am I right? Yeah, special in a bad kind of way. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I mean. Yeah, I mean, a tax against immigrants on the ground and from Washington are really at an all-time high and where we were talking just a few years ago about the possibility of comprehensive immigration reform and being able to provide new avenues of relief for people who desperately need it were really, really swimming upstream. And it's all kind of defensive now to try to keep the few gains that were made in the past, including DACA, which is a program that allowed individuals who were brought as children to the United States to have a temporary protection from deportation. All those things are now kind of in the crosshairs of the Trump administration. It's scorched earth. It's at every level and every way he can possibly think of. Yeah, it is. It is. And it's hard because there's a lot of issues that I, as an individual, are concerned about. But immigration is taking up all of my time. And there are lots of, we have to be really looking at multiple fronts for civil rights and civil liberties and how they're being trounced. You know, funny thing is that this started out back around January 20th under the rubric of, we're going to protect the country from terrorism. And then he made his ban, his sort of amorphous ban about Arab countries. But there hasn't been so much talk about that lately. It's more like any foreigner is at risk. And then to me, and we get into the more detail of it, but then to me, if I look at what happened in Charlottesville a few days ago and I look at his remarks yesterday, revealing his true thoughts about this, what I get is it doesn't have that much to do about terrorism at all. In fact, it has to do about racial supremacy. Now, I agree, and it's not just immigrants. It's a larger classification, I guess, of people of color. And many immigrants fall into that category. And so immigrants are taking the same kind of hits that African-Americans and even Latinos who lived in the United States, who can trace their history back to before the United States was the United States, have been taking hits for a long, long, yeah, have been taking hits for a long, long time. And it's really, I think it's just the most knee-jerk. People are scared. The economy's bad. White folks who used to be able to plan on generation after generation, their lives being better, having more opportunities than their parents, having more opportunities than their parents don't have that anymore. Looking for somebody to blame. And immigrants are always the easiest group to blame. And this xenophobia that we're seeing towards immigrants isn't just, and people of color, isn't unique, of course, to the United States. It's actually a trend in many European countries. Australia has some very arguably racist immigration policies as well. But yeah, this is a very special time to be doing the work that I'm doing in the United States. One reaction to that, though, buddy of mine just got back from China. And he found a very interesting phenomenon in China. China has a huge presence now in Africa. In fact, they have military bases that we don't have. They have military bases. And lots of business enterprises, big ones, big presence in Africa. And African people are coming to China. They're immigrating to China. And China welcomes them. And they married Chinese. So now you have this hapahaui effect. That's not the right word, but hapahafrican effect going on in China. And I said to him, I said, gee, is there racial prejudice against the Africans in China? And he said, no, no. They don't see that. In fact, they appreciate the thing. And these people have good opportunities in China. And I find that interesting. I'm not sure that we have a good sampling of opinion art. But I find it interesting for the proposition that the US brand of treating diverse races is different and morally less developed than other countries. Do you agree? Yeah, I mean, for all the talk about being a nation of immigrants, we're sure hard on immigrants, right? And there's this attitude that, well, our family did it one way. But it was legal for those people to do it. I mean, the waves of immigrants that came from Europe in generations past, there was a legal pathway for that to happen. The problem is now we don't have that legal pathway for many people to come into the United States. And as far as I know, it's kind of hard to look at China because I've looked at racism in other Asian countries towards African-Americans as I was doing research on hardship issues in cases. And I know African-Americans, and it's been well-documented racism in Korea and in Japan. So I don't know how different the United States is really. Having lived in Australia, having friends who are Europeans, I don't really know if it's that much worse. But there's a lot more of us. And racist, I mean, as far as people in the United States versus the sizes of other countries, and there are, I think that the racist groups are actually, it's a minority. They're not the majority. But they've sure got a voice now. They've got a voice in the White House. And even though that's a very small group, of course, it was a much larger group that supported that ascension, Trump's ascension into the White House. Well, let me over the thought that after this experience over the past few days following Charlottesville, I think there'll be more people in that supremacy group, because they will be attracted.  Right. And the statements, unfortunately, of the last couple of days definitely confirm that, which puts the issues of immigration, again, in a really, really difficult spot. Yeah. And it makes you a job. It's got to make your job harder and more heart-rending, if you will. Because you're going to see, I'm sure you are seeing, personal tragedy here, as we read in the paper. Yeah, we are seeing locally. We're seeing a lot of cases that had where ICE immigration and customs enforcement would either extend or accept arguments for why good people should be allowed to stay, even though there was no legal path for them. And we've been pushing for many years to create a legal path for good people who were here, who had children, who had spouses. And again, locally, there was a degree of discretion as to whether those people could not fly under the radar, because immigration customs enforcement knew that they were in the United States. But they would let them stay with their families. They'd have reporting requirements once a year or every six months check-in. If people moved, they would need to inform the government of their address changes, those kind of things. And we felt like we were buying time until there was a legal path, until there was immigration reform. And so, well, maybe next year, maybe in six months. Now we're seeing that there's no real solid immigration reform in sight that would benefit a lot of people. And that the discretion that ICE had been extending positively in many cases, they're not doing anymore. So we've had some high-profile cases just in our own state. Probably the most high-profile case was Mr. McGanya on the Big Island coffee farmer. Sure, I mean, it was not my case. I'm Jim Stanton is his attorney. But from what I know about it, he was a very prominent person in his community. He actually did a lot, as far as education, about issues that coffee farms were having with pest control. He was a husband and a father. He had US citizen children and a US citizen wife. And he basically had a final order of deportation. I believe they were trying to get the case reopened because there was a visa petition that was filed, or an immigrant relative petition filed by his wife. But it would have taken time to work through those things, those petitions, which before would take five to six months, are now taking longer. And they were trying. At least we don't know exactly how long. Longer means we don't know exactly how long. And I think Mr. Stanton was trying to keep him here so that until that process could go through. Because once someone has to leave the United States, it's years before they're able to come back in. Yeah, they're on the line at the other end. And they've got to wait. And nobody's in a hurry to help them these days. It's a line. The line's getting longer. And it's a very expensive and time-consuming process. And in the meantime, what benefit does it serve us as a society to have this man separated from his family, from his farm, from his community, from I think the state had an interest in keeping him here because of his professional expertise. And Senator Hirona and other people got involved in his case as much as they could. But in the end, again, the kind of discretion that Homeland Security locally used to have, I think their hands are tied now. And I don't think the decision on whether to grant a stay of deportation does not come from the local level. It comes from San Francisco. So locally, we fall under the San Francisco office. And the decisions are coming from there. So we actually have a lot of good, decent people who are working at immigration and customs enforcement. But I think what they want, if they would say, want to allow Mr. McGanya to stay, they can't. Decisions are coming from someplace else. It seems terribly unfair. Now, if there was some early advice by the government to Mr. McGanya saying, you can't stay here. We're not going to let you stay here. So don't have a family. Don't start a farm. Don't become an expert. Don't make community contributions. Just go. Then, OK, so then he would leave. And he would sort of nip this problem vis-à-vis his case in the bud. But he's been permitted to stay all these years. And he was brought as a kid. I mean, he was 15 when he was 15. What are you going to say to him at 15 when he came? So I mean, it's just terribly unfair that we come down like a sledgehammer in the life of this Mr. McGanya and others, many, many others. And my recollection is the last time I knew that there had been 41,000 detentions here in the United States. We do not see that as a headline. We do not see that for all the bombast in Washington. Congress is not talking about that. And Trump is not talking about that. But the fact is, he's busy, busy, busy, busy all day, creating these terribly unfair scenarios. And they're doing these major sweeps, I mean, which are fine as far as picking up people who have dangerous criminal histories, but they're picking up all other kinds of people along with making no distinction. And then again, once people get in the deportation system, the discretion to take people out seems to have gone out the window with the Trump administration. So that's why you have, and some cities are actively resisting this. Sanctuary cities. But then they get punished. Well, then they get punished. And they're challenging that in the courts. And it'll be very interesting to follow what's happening in Denver, in San Francisco, in San Antonio. Texas has also passed some really, really repressive anti-immigrant laws. But there's resistance from chiefs of police who say that these kind of laws that target people who are law abiding, but for the immigration violation, which is a civil violation, it's not a criminal violation, people who are law abiding, who are afraid to come out and report crimes because they're afraid of getting turned over to ICE. That makes our communities less safe, and it impedes our ability to do our job and build up trust with the communities. So there's a lot of resistance right now nationally. There's a lot of resistance locally. I mean, we have a phenomenal attorney general who was out in the forefront challenging the band. I saw, no, no, no. Doug Chin's face popped into my mind, and not Jeff Sessions. There could not be more polar opposite. But Attorney General Chin is challenging these at every level on behalf of Hawaii, which I think really does our state proud. And I hope that people can see the value of what Hawaii has contributed to this. We have a great message, actually. We do. We have something that is these days in short supply. That's true. We're going to take a break, actually, Claire. And when we come back, I'd like to tell you what worries me and see if it worries you also. It's Claire Hannes. She's an immigration attorney, and we love talking to her. Thanks, Jay. This is Think Tech Hawaii, raising public awareness. We're back. We're live with Claire Hannes. We're talking about the immigration changes in our country and how it affects the practice of immigration law, among other things. So how does it affect the practice? I would imagine that people walk into you now, people who you might have been able to help before, before Trump. And you have to say to them, look, I'm really sorry, but this is all a very difficult situation. But I don't have the same legal tools available to me to help you. Yeah. So well, actually, the laws haven't changed yet, because Trump, thankfully, can't change the laws. Congress makes and changes the laws. Somebody has to tell him that. Well, I mean, so the reality is when people come to me, they think that Trump has a lot to do with their current situation. And the reality is that if they had options before, they generally still have options now. I've always been very careful about screening cases to make sure that an application isn't submitted to the government that might have an issue that could put someone in a worse position than they were before they submitted. I'm even more careful about that now, because we've seen, especially at the local office, the level of fine-tooth scrutiny they're putting cases under is unbelievable. And I've seen locally naturalizations denied for good people because of a silly little procedural defect that was done, that was on the form 10 years ago, where an irrelevant form was missing.  But technically, the government was right. And so that was it. So we just had to kind of throw our hands up. So that's what we're seeing locally as far as changes go. He's telling his agency they work for him. I wish I was part of those discussions to know. I mean, we've had problems with the local office locally for a long time. But it is a new cases that say a marriage-based green card case that used to take pretty much 90 days start to finish for years. So I would just routinely say three months start to finish unless there's a red flag, which I don't see. Now it's taking seven to nine months. And then what was a problem before, and it's even more of a problem now, is cases are going into these kind of black holes where you leave the interview. And they very rarely say, OK, everything looks great. We're going to grant this. They say, OK, thank you. We'll be in touch. And then people wait and wait and wait. And our abilities, even as attorneys, to get any kind of sense of how long it's going to take for this decision to. I mean, we're stuck. And our clients get really frustrated with us. And I understand. They're thinking, well, we're paying for an attorney. And I say, you know, our hands are tied, too. I mean, I've kind of half joked about a hunger strike in front of the USCIS office locally. I mean, just to shame and put some attention on it. I joke about hunger. But I mean, what can be done? It's ridiculous. We have our congressional liaisons involved. Their hands are often tied. You know, we kick and scream. We file complaints and requests. And we get this, oh, we're sorry for the delay. The case is under some kind of administrative processing. And we're seeing those delays longer and longer. So that's what's stressing people out and stressing us as advocates out as well. My sense from what you say is that it's getting worse. Is it? It is getting worse. It is getting worse. And I think Trump, when he talked about this initial Muslim ban, it was, remember, it was kind of a pause on immigration from certain countries for them to review the vetting procedures, which were arguably fine before, kind of under the guise of a Muslim ban. Well, this kind of extreme vetting is, I think, going on at all levels right now. And again, we have no problem with background checks, of course, and with the United States doing what, of course, what it can to kind of weed people out or make sure that the people who are staying have followed. This is going way, way, way beyond that. And it's causing a lot of undue stress on people locally. But generally, people have the same options. But what might change is, so there was this RAISE Act that was proposed on October 2 by two Republican senators from the South of the US with Trump's blessing. And that would have major, if something like that passed, it would have major. So it does a couple of things. First of all, it creates this kind of preference category for immigrants who have, speak English, are well-educated, can show financial means, and have a good chance so it says of employment. So it's kind of a merit-based system where our system before had been primarily of maybe 1.2 million immigrants that came in last year. Most of them were family-based, meaning that I became a US citizen. I filed an immigrant petition for my mom so that my mom could come here or my brother or sister. And if you're from the Philippines, it can take 25 years. But eventually, if they live that long, they're able to come the families, family unity, family reunification. There's a lot to say for that. There is a lot to say for that. And that's a lot to say for our local communities, right? Our local, which we have a high immigrant, absolutely, we have a high immigrant population. But what this RAISE Act would do is it would actually eliminate, eliminate by up to half of the family-based immigration. It wouldn't eliminate all family-based immigration, but some categories it would wipe out completely. For example, if I was a US citizen, I wouldn't be able to get a green card for my mom. That's huge. That's terrible. I wouldn't be able to apply for a green card for my brother or sister. But if family remains separate, that's what happens.  But we can't, and look at, I mean, Hawaii is an island. It's not as though we're in California and a lot of our relatives are in Mexico, right? And you can, I mean, when you're in Hawaii, You're isolated. You're isolated. You're not really far away.  And this would cut that out. So, Claire, you know, you didn't go into immigration law to make ukele bucks. Nope. You went to help people. Yeah, yep. And you persist in that desire, I'm sure. But now you can't help them in the same way, perhaps, that you could before. And I guess the question is, you know, not only you, but the bar, the immigration bar, must be affected by these call and policy changes or, you know, de facto policy changes is what we have. Right, right. So, A, can you make a living doing this? Or do you have to put in pro bono time in order to, you know, meet the demand walking in the door? And B, you know, should I go into immigration law now? Is it the right time?  Yeah. I mean, the problem with immigration law is that there are many more people who need services than there are people who can pay for services, right? And we have a huge problem in Hawaii where we don't have a general immigration legal service provider such as legal aid. Like legal aid, because their funding is federal, their limited is to the scope of services that they can provide. So through the Hawaii Immigrant Justice Center, they can provide services to a very limited number of immigrants with immigrant related needs. And limited services at that. Super limited services, right? So for, say, crime victims, victims of domestic violence, which are crime victims, human trafficking victims, they have a place to go. Everyone else, you're pretty much on your own. And immigration law is very, very confusing. So it's really hard for people to figure out on their own.  Yeah, there's a lot at stake. You have to be very, very careful. So it's not something that you can dabble in. Yeah, I think, I mean, if you're doing good work, you can definitely make a living at it. It's not one of the most lucrative areas. And I think most of us who do immigration law do a fair amount of pro bono work. And because we recognize the importance, the really life changing importance of what we do. But we have to limit the amount of pro bono work we do. What concerns me is that coming out of law school, not just me, but people and lawyers in general who might otherwise devote their time and skill and their practice to immigration law might be discouraged from doing it. And if that happens, we have fewer immigration lawyers still, yet. And the result is there'd be fewer resources available to people who need resources, nor now than before. And so these poor people will be even more of the victim going forward. And this new change in policy will have the desired effect of barring them and more. One thing we've seen is that there's so much outrage over the Trump administration policies towards immigrant and refugees that I think there's been a resurgence of people who are interested in pursuing immigration law. And I'm working with some fabulous law students who are volunteering to help me on some of my pro bono cases, which is great, as far as whether there's a place for them in the market. Again, that's tough because there's lots of need, but there's not a lot of people who can afford the services, especially in deportation proceedings, deportation proceedings. It's like criminal defense. It's super, super time consuming. It's super detailed. And it's expensive. It's a lot of attorney time and attorney time costs. So this is really a bad situation. It's bad for the country and the structure of the family and the community and the society. Morally, it's bad for us. It's tragically bad for all these people. It's bad for our image around the world. We're no longer the Statue of Liberty with open arms. Other countries do way better, in Canada, for example. Much more open. We have refugees who are fleeing from the United States into Canada right now. And Canada is treating them way better in lots of ways than the United States ever did. But again, locally, as far as resistance efforts, again, law students stepping forward. We have attorneys stepping forward. Are we a sanctuary city? Well, no, we are not. I mean, a sanctuary city is kind of a squishy term. Our leaders have not very proactively come out and said that they were not going to absolutely refuse to do the work of the federal government, which is what the sanctuary cities are saying, that they're not going to turn into immigration enforcement I wonder how immigration enforcement, you said that the immigration service, as always, has certain obligations. It must enforce the law. But at the same time, they're human beings, hopefully. And they may be told to do policy things that they don't really agree with, especially if they've been in immigration for a long time and they've seen all these people come and go and the reasons for their coming and going. And so now I really wonder whether there's resistance. Maybe it's nothing that we can know. But I wonder if there's resistance within the immigration service itself to this policy where they really hate doing what they're being asked to do. I think a lot of them do. Although, as far as resistance, I think they're still pretty much doing their jobs. Enforcement. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And people who work at ICE have said, don't blame us. Blame the laws. And that's easy to say that. But I understand where they're coming from, too. And while I couldn't do their job personally, a lot of them are really decent human beings. And I've seen my clients more often than not actually treated with a great degree of compassion. And you can tell that the officers don't enjoy the answers that they have to give a lot of these people as far as what their options are. Or when a stay is denied, they don't do little happy dances and said, OK, we're getting rid of another one. I mean, I think they feel it, they feel it, too. Just what I worry about more than anything else, Claire. We've come a long way down, in my opinion, since January 20. In many ways, not just immigration, but certainly that is a centerpiece of how we've come down. And day by day, it's happening. We may not see it on the headlines, but it's happening. There are detentions. There are these regrettable outcomes in the immigration process. And people are being hurt. Their lives are being damaged. And so what I worry about is that we become complacent about this. You can't protest these things every day. The community can't write a letter every day as long as it continues, even though it should. And we may become complacent and treat it, if you will. This is a term that seems to be appropriate as the new normal. The new normal is devolving into another dark place. And I worry that that will continue in this administration. And we've only seen the beginning of it. It's going to get worse because nobody, no large group, no political force, can stop it. So therefore, it takes heart in that. And it continues and gets more bold all the time. What do we do, Claire? You know, I think locally the resistance makes me a little bit more optimistic maybe than you are as far as this being accepted as the new normal. And we can't do anything. I mean, there are cases where we're definitely very limited about what we can do. But that has not stopped the community from showing up. From showing up, from talking about what we can do, from supporting each other. I mean, just Sunday night, right? After, you know, so Charlottesville was Saturday. Sunday night, there were hundreds of people who came out to Magic Island for a candlelight vigil in solidarity with the people of Charlottesville. And there were sheets on the ground where we could write messages to Heather Hire's family, the 32-year-old who was. And that was really important for us as a community. And there were a lot of the old timers who you kind of expect to be there. But a lot of new faces. So I think that the worst in this country is also bringing out some of the best. And I'm not worried about if I have two moms who had to report for removal. And there were huge, within a short period of time, huge groups of people who showed up to support them. I think those people, because many of them are their people of faith. They're people who have been in civil rights struggles for the long haul. They will keep coming out time after time after time. And new people will come along, too. We do have to pace ourselves, in a way, because four years is a long time. And we're only a bit into it. And even if Trump leaves office, part of me it thinks that this isn't so much Trump as the people behind him. Jeff Sessions, right? Jeff Sessions is, I mean, he's the architect of many of these immigration policies. And he has a lot of support. So we have to be, even if Trump falls, that doesn't mean that things are going to, another Republican is going to get in, and things are going to get better. So we have to. But I actually think we will be able to, we see a light at the end of the tunnel. And we're going to keep fighting and challenging until we get to that light. And then, hopefully, I don't know what kind of state the country will be in in three and a half years. Well, it'll be different. And the question really is, when this administration is done, I think I know the answer already, when this administration is done, will we just zing back to the way it was before with more caring and heart and humanity concern for humanity? Or will we be in a different place looking for a different direction that may not be what we really want, a different direction that doesn't zing back to the way it was before? And I think the answer is, all of this is on the record. All of this is historic. All of this goes forward. And you can never go home again. It will all feed into the ultimate outcome. But even as far as immigration policy, again, I just have to keep remembering, it wasn't so great under the Obama administration either. The Democrats, President Clinton signed some very repressive immigration laws during his time. So yeah, it wasn't as bad as it is now. And I don't know how much worse it's going to get. But I don't want to also kind of paint over with a rosy picture what happened prior to Trump. Because it was pretty rough on immigrants before. We have to take it all in context. We have to take it all on a historic continuum. We have to remember where we've been, if we want to find out where we're going or should go. And one thing, Claire, is so clear to me after this discussion is that it's not over. We can't be complacent. We can't treat it as the new normal. And we have to see you again here to keep current. I'll be here. Thank you, Claire. Thank you, Jay.


Could you please explain the concept behind decentralized finance in layman terms and how it is revolutionary in nature? What are the downsides of it? All right, so the basic concept of decentralized finance is to create all of these composable basic finance primitives that are implemented as smart contracts with some degree of decentralization. And one of the things we're going to be talking about today is what exactly does it mean to say some degree of decentralization? There is a balance to strike in how decentralized a platform is between fully decentralized, where no one has any control. And if something goes wrong, all of the funds go poof, as we saw with the Dow, to somewhat decentralized with some governance overrides, may be an escape hatch for when problems happen to shut down the smart contract and refund funds. And of course, not so decentralized when there are effectively management keys that allow all of the functions of the smart contract to be overridden by a small number of parties. And there's all of the range in between. So that's the D, decentralized in DeFi. Of course, the DeFi part means that this is primarily focused on financial products. And that means lending, investing, borrowing, of course, saving, implementing various forms of currency tokens, non-fungible tokens, various forms of asset-backed tokens and things like that. Crowdfunding and crowd-raising or fundraising mechanisms such as, what are they called, token-bonded curves. Yes, that's the fancy term used in the Ethereum space. And for the most part, we're talking about DeFi as a function that has come out of the development of Ethereum. But of course, DeFi isn't restricted to Ethereum, quite the opposite. DeFi is an entire industry. And the best way I'd like to describe DeFi is by contrast to CeFi. CeFi, of course, is centralized finance. That's when somebody else takes your money, abuses it to implement political favors in their benefit, and then charges you for the privilege of them holding your money. And perhaps, if you're lucky, they give it back to you, perhaps not, while enriching themselves unfairly in a parasitical, co-dependent relationship with government. That's CeFi. So DeFi really can't fail unless it becomes CeFi, because CeFi is already an incredibly damaging parasitic system that plagues our planet. So DeFi is an approach that is primarily focused on decentralizing the power dynamic. That's the real key here. Who has power over money? And by decentralizing power over money, what opportunities does that give people to have better relationships with their money and not be exploited, as well as how does that increase access to financial services? By disintermediating all the gatekeepers that prevent and limit access to financial services, effectively banking the unbanked or debanking all of us.


My fellow Americans, I'm sorry for the delay in this broadcast due to technical difficulties. I'm speaking to you from the White House over a special hookup with radio stations across the farm belt. I'd like to discuss with you for a few moments the plans our administration has to meet important agricultural challenges we face together. I'm talking about increasing American farm exports, restoring our reputation as reliable suppliers, and regaining our world market share. Before I do, may I just take a moment to congratulate you? Once again, you're making something look easy that would be considered a miracle almost anywhere else in the world. Farmers all over America are harvesting record crops. You know, I've always thought that when we Americans get up in the morning, when we see bacon, eggs, toast, and milk on our breakfast table, we should give thanks that our farmers are survivors. You are the real miracle workers of the modern world, keepers of an incredible system based on faith, freedom, hard work, productivity, and profit, a system that feeds us and sustains millions of the world's hungry. Too often, people forget a basic fact of life. All those good things we enjoy come from the ache in your backs and your willingness to shoulder great personal risks. Right now, another fact of life in America's heartland is that things haven't been very good down on the farm. You who produce the food and fiber essential to life itself are carrying tremendous burdens, sometimes impossible burdens. U.S. agriculture is in the grip of a prolonged economic recession that began in 1980. The record inflation and interest rates of the late 70s and that mistaken Soviet grain embargo laid the seeds for a very different, bitter kind of harvest, a vicious cost-price squeeze and lost markets. Together, they eroded confidence and destroyed too many dreams for prosperity. I believe this government's proper role, indeed its only role, is to act as friend, partner, and promoter of American farmers and their products. I want with all my heart to see your burdens lifted, to see farmers who have given so much to America receive the rewards they deserve. As Dwight Eisenhower once said, without a prosperous agriculture, there is no prosperity in America. From the moment we arrived in Washington, we've been working to solve those long-neglected problems that were dragging America down. Like any small businessman, a farmer lives or dies on his ability to sustain an adequate cash flow. And when that cash flow is reduced to a trickle by high inflation and high interest rates, a farmer sometimes has no option but to shut down his operation. Add to all this your bumper crops, and we understand why the cost-price squeeze is so bad and threatens the survival of agriculture, America's bedrock industry. It's been tough, slow work, and as I told the nation Wednesday night, we still have a long way to go. But we're beginning to make real progress on four of the five most serious problems we inherited. We are bringing down spending, bringing down inflation, bringing down interest rates, and reducing your taxes. You know, one of the parts of our tax program that I'm most proud of addresses a special problem for farmers. We don't think widows and children should lose what generations of love and toil created just to pay Uncle Sam a tax. So we took action to correct that. We increased the estate tax exemption to $600,000 by 1987, and we eliminated altogether the estate tax for a surviving spouse. I hope all these steps are beginning to bring some relief on your cost side of the equation. As for prices, well, there are really only two ways to increase farmers' income. Sell more or produce less.  The philosophy of this administration is to help farmers to succeed in the marketplace, not depend on the U.S. Treasury. Deciding how much to produce and how much to sell is best left to you. We, in turn, will make every effort to remove the barriers to the exporting of your products. So that brings me back to what I mentioned at the outset. Our initiatives to increase exports, restore our reputation as a reliable supplier, and regain our market share. As you know, our administration moved early on to end that grain embargo, which had hurt farmers so badly. Before the Soviet embargo, American farmers were supplying about 70 percent of Soviet needs. After the embargo, our market share dropped to less than 25 percent. Other nations had quickly moved in to fill the gap left by the embargo so that our farmers and our farmers almost alone bore the brunt of the embargo. This year, we've fought our way back to 35 percent of the Soviet market. We're on our way back up. We can and we will do better there and around the world. Nothing is more crucial to the long-term health of agriculture than restoring this nation's reputation as a reliable supplier of agricultural products around the world. During the past 20 months, we've pursued an agricultural export policy making three things plain. No restrictions will be imposed on farm exports because of rising domestic prices. No farm exports will be singled out as an instrument of foreign policy, except in extreme situations and then only as part of a broad embargo supported by our trading partners and world markets must be freed of trade barriers and unfair trade practices. On that last point, we've mounted a united front. By the departments of agriculture, state, treasury, commerce and the U.S. trade representative to speak out and act against the unfair trade practices of our competitors abroad, we're committed to more open agricultural markets in all countries and we're challenging others in negotiations, particularly our friends in Europe and Japan, to fully match this commitment. It's imperative that all of us work together to reduce the growing tide of protectionism and export subsidies overseas. If other countries can't understand and even-handed approaches in everybody's best interest, if they're not willing to play by the rules of the game, then let there be no mistake. We must and we will counter with strong measures of our own to permit American farmers to realize the benefits of their extraordinary productivity. Now, in spite of my strong commitment, I know there is still concern in the farm community that we've not given sufficient assurance of delivery of our farm exports. I can understand farmer skepticism. You've been burned so often in the past. But our new agricultural export policy means exactly what it says. We will honor our word. Today, I am directing Secretary of Agriculture Block to take two additional steps. Two weeks from now, U.S. representatives will meet with the Soviets in Vienna for talks concerning additional grain purchases beyond the 8 million metric tons stipulated in Article 1 of the existing U.S.-USSR grain agreement. I am instructing the Secretary to make available a total of 23 million metric tons for purchase during the October 1, 1982, September 30, 1983 time period. Second, the Secretary of Agriculture will extend to the additional purchases the same assurances of reliable delivery that the 8 million metric tons are afforded under Article 2 of the agreement. If the U.S.S.R. will contract for the additional tonnage during the month of November and provided that it is shipped within 180 days from the date of the contract, these same assurances, of course, also apply to soybean and other agricultural exports. We have a large crop. We need commitments to move that crop and strengthen markets. Now, of course, we can't guarantee the Soviets will make these purchases, but we know they're shopping and they still have large needs. We want to demonstrate that actions speak louder than words, and we're taking tangible actions to restore this market. Year in, year out, there is no better, more reliable producer of food anywhere than the United States of America. Now, some will say that by offering to sell the Soviets more grain, we're sending a weak signal. That's wrong. We're asking the Soviets to give us cash on the line for the food they buy. We're not providing them with any subsidies or pumping any Western currencies into Soviet pockets. It's always seemed ironic to me that many people who are so quick to sacrifice the interest of farmers in an effort to seem tough are unwilling to do the real things we need to send a signal of national will and strength. During the last decade, we had two grain embargoes, but during those same years, we were also reducing our commitment to a strong national defense, while the Soviets were undertaking the most massive military buildup in history. We're not making that mistake in 1982. We have our priorities straight. I wish I could tell you today that we've turned everything around for American farmers. I can't. I can only say that we're doing everything we can as rapidly as we can to make things right. Thank you for keeping up the struggle. Thank you for your strength, your vision, and your faith. I know we can return prosperity to our heartland and to America. God has blessed us with a strong spirit and rich soil. With his help and yours, we can make America once again the source of all the dreams and opportunities she was placed on this good earth to provide. Thanks for listening. God bless you.

Do you know what the oldest surviving incorporated town in Wyoming is? Would you have guessed Hartville? If you did, you would be correct. Copper was the precious metal that brought miners to the area in 1881, when an abandoned copper mine was discovered. By 1884, the town of Hartville arose. You may be wondering about the name Hartville and think that its name comes from the beating organ in our bodies. However, Hartville was named after Major Verling K. Hart, who located copper deposits in the area. One difficulty for mining in Hartville was the absence of a railroad. 10 ore wagons and 60 horses were used to haul ore from Hartville to Badger, while discussions of a railroad construction were occurring. In 1900, the railroads arrived in Hartville. It was then incorporated as a municipality. The mines and sunrise closed in 1980, and since then Hartville has lost population. As of the 2000 census, Hartville had a population of 76 people, which also makes it the smallest town in Platt County. From the University of Wyoming extension, this has been May Smith, standing on a piece of history here in Hartville, Wyoming, and exploring the nature of Wyoming.


Do you ever feel hopeless in terms of achieving your goal? By goal I'm talking about anything like your career, your financial growth, maybe a business you're trying to launch and you feel like it's hopeless is not going to go anywhere. I'm going to talk about a really useful concept to keep in mind that will help you let go of that feeling of hopelessness. That's what this video is about. This is a big issue because most of our life is about personal growth. When I talk about personal growth, it's a growth over which you have pretty much complete control. Think of something like exercise or something like learning a musical instrument or any kind of skill that you're trying to develop in isolation. Even when I talk about here on this channel, which is the inner work that we do, that's kind of like personal growth. Outside of that, we enter the social sphere and that can be trying to launch a business that could be trying to get your career going, it could be trying to make more money, any of those things. We can experience helplessness or hopelessness in both of those spheres. If we understand the rate of growth expectation in either in both the personal and the social sphere, it makes things a lot easier. What I'm talking about is this. I want you to imagine a graph and here's your access on the graph. This relates to your personal growth, things over which you have complete control. Let's say exercise. You haven't exercised for years and you decide, one day I'm going to start to exercise. It's an area in my personal growth I'm going to work on. Here's your graph and you will notice that over the first few weeks, your progress is going up very rapidly. Every time you exercise, you can do a little bit more weight. You can do a few more reps. Maybe you can run a few minutes extra each time you're doing it. You're getting faster. You're getting fitter. Your muscle is developing. Your stamina is developing. Notice that over week after week, you see this trajectory of, wow, this is amazing. It's getting better and better and better. Over a period of time though, your view has gone past the average mark and now after that point it tapers off significantly and you're still improving but every improvement is marginal. The graph looks like this. It goes rapidly up and then it goes across like this, personal growth, personal development. When you enter the social sphere, it is completely the other way around and this leads into a lot of hopelessness that we can feel when we're on this journey, okay? Be that a career, a business, whatever it is you're trying to do. In the social sphere, what happens is you start off at zero. Here's your graph again. You start off at zero and your growth is tiny and it is tiny, tiny incremental growth for a long, long time and eventually you start to get noticed maybe and people start to see what you've done. It gradually starts to go up and up but you get to a certain point where your growth now becomes very, very exponential. It goes up and up and up much faster. So completely different. If we bring the same expectations for growth from our personal sphere into the social sphere, we are inevitably going to feel hopeless. What I'm saying here in this video is don't give up. Don't expect dramatic things to happen for a while. Okay, and that can take a long period of time. What you have to focus on is your process, is doing the inner work, fight it because it's these feelings of hopelessness and helplessness that make us think, well, this isn't going anywhere when we're on this lower end of the graph, right? If we can do the inner work, we will not give up and eventually things start to take off for us. So it's so easy to miss this because intuitively we're used to the personal trajectory, the growth trajectory in the personal sphere. That's what intuitively we feel it should be like. But it isn't like that in the social sphere. So doing the work to calm down that inner critic that again all it ever tries to do is keep it safe but it's very excessive. So we need to learn to calm it down. We need to feel good. We need to calm our nervous system. We need to reset the nervous system periodically so that doesn't get overwhelmed by this. But we have to start kind of welcoming up this as an inevitable part of the growth process, the journey. It's going to happen. We're going to inevitably feel some kind of helplessness. But it's very easy to let it go once you are aware of what reality is like, what the expectations should be in this. I saw an interview recently from the comedian Pilper. He was talking about something kind of like this and he said he was talking about young people coming into making podcasts into that arena and there's many like gatekeepers and big organizations that would promise these young people loads and loads of things to get them started. In other words to avoid this long drawn out process of growth and he says if you can at all avoid those guys because they can't really do anything for you anyway. And once you do get to that point of massive growth all those gatekeepers or those people who are giving you that initial boost are just going to become problematic for you. So you're as well off just hanging in there and just enjoying that process if you can until you start to take off. But it seems appealing to begin with because we don't like this long slow gradual process. For us it's the same. Avoid anyone that's kind of showing you shortcuts. It's not supposed to be a shortcut. Anything worth doing in life is going to be a long journey. But think about how much more satisfying it's going to be if you do hang in there and you get to the point where you start to see something that you've created, you've worked on, take off. This is how it's supposed to be. There's no problem with this. Okay, it's okay to feel sometimes afraid, sometimes dejected, sometimes hopeless. But learn how to quiet that inner critic. Do the inner work and it makes that experience much, much more bearable and even enjoyable. Okay, we start to look forward to when we see this part of the journey. Hope that was helpful guys and I'll talk to you again soon. Bye for now.
