You do not let other people influence your actions Disagree slightly your dreams tend to focus on real-world events totally disagree especially with Django Being the head of a media empire in my dream Like I literally literally mean dreams or like your dreams as in aspirations Well, I basically dreamt of talking dog people. No, I ruled the world But both are dreamt of talking animals in my experience Yeah, but mine walked in but mine was your dog and she was in a like business outfit sitting at a desk. That was no dream Veronica dreamed of talking bears Was it the Charmin commercial because those are talking bears No That's how we describe care bears now So just imagine the bear from the Charmin commercial with tattoos on their stomachs Should we get started? Yeah, we can start early hiding Roger. You keep taking your tests and let us know what you've watched We can bring them back during the bot discussion. Yeah, totally. All right. Here we go three two Hey, you yeah, you do you want to help out the Daily Tech news show? Well, it's really easy. Just go to Daily Tech news show comm slash support and find out how This is the Daily Tech news for Tuesday June 6 2017 I'm Tom Merritt Veronica Belmont on a Tuesday. How's it feel on a Tuesday? It's weird. It's weird. It's totally weird It's also weird because your Wi-Fi is out where you had so we have to only have voice I am tethering right now. So we'll see how this goes. Yeah But thank you for your persistence. I appreciate it always never the less she persisted Nevertheless Veronica persisted in doing the show a little bit of a different show, especially in the fall in the wake I should say not fall out that the wake of WWDC Different kind of news day. So we'll get a bot take from Veronica and we got a bunch of fan mail I'm gonna call it a fan mail Tuesday, even though that's not an alliteration But let's start with a few tech things you should know The Omen X compact desktop is HP's backpack PC designed to be used for virtual reality And it comes with a dock. So when it's not on your back, you can use it like a regular computer In fact, they sell it without the backpack attachment. It starts at $2,499 and if you want to put it in a backpack, then you got to pay an extra $600 both those are coming in July Would you do this? No No backpack VR for Veronica without VR though, that is literally true. Yes Google release an update to its Pixel phones that says quote should address many of the freezing issues that have been reported The over-the-air update should roll out in the next few days if your phone hasn't frozen Launch event for the 1 plus 5 will happen June 20th at 12 p.m. Eastern with the tagline Focus on what matters so everybody assumes it has to do with a cool camera streamed at 1pl.us slash launch if you want to watch it on June 20th Kaspersky lab has filed antitrust complaints in Europe against Microsoft for abusing its dominant marketing position to push its own Antivirus service Windows Defender Yeah, they did that in Russia too. So they're continuing to go after Microsoft for bundling and security, which if you have mixed feelings about I don't like monopolistic practices at the same time I think operating systems should bundle in security. I think that's important Yeah, and Windows Defender. I mean at least last time I checked was pretty good. It's pretty decent Kaspersky It would disagree with you, but most reviewers would not so Here are some more top stories Amazon reddit Mozilla and several other companies are joining together to support an Internet-wide day of action to save net neutrality on July 12th Websites will quote sound the alarm about the FCC's proposal to change ISP classification Doesn't we don't know exactly what that means yet probably displaying some kind of prominent message Kickstarter Etsy Vimeo Y Combinator get hub pantheon bit torrent shapeways next door patreon dream host all Among those on board. There's a bunch of nonprofits about 30 organizations on board as well The FCC is taking comments on the change to the open internet guidelines until August 16th So the idea is on July 12th to make it clear What these companies think about the change and and we could use some net neutrality right now To bring the packets from Veronica in right Because hello. Oh, there you are. I thought maybe they were throttling you already I don't know what happened. It disappeared. Where should I pick up Tom? No, I was just mentioning the Amazon reddit Mozilla movement on July 12th So what what do you think of this it remember the soap a blackout was very effective It essentially killed the soap a lot. This is not Congress though. This is the FCC. They are less The less less amenable to public pressure, I think yeah, I think this is a great I you know, I technically kind of maybe have to recuse myself from this for reasons. I can't say yet Well, there's a lot of companies involved. Yes, there are there sure are But I think it's a really general. Yeah, without speaking on the particular movement, you know What do you think another sopa could happen? With this issue. Yeah, absolutely I think I think it's it's it's definitely in it's a it's a danger And I think we have to stay vigilant about it because it's it's it feels like it's coming down the pipeline I don't think the FCC is gonna change their minds no matter what happens. That's Unfortunately the way I feel about it. I also don't think as many things will change As quickly as people fear I think that's you know, if there is an upside that that would be the upside Public pressure can still be applied to companies not to do abusive measures Even if they have the freedom to do it Which is how it worked up until 2012, right? So, you know, it's not the end of the world But I suppose if you're opposed to this reclassification that it's important to make it clear that you're opposed to it Whether you think it's gonna have an effect or not Lift is partnering with autonomous vehicle company Newtonomy to launch autonomous car car ride hailing in Boston Newtonomy has been testing a small number of Renault Zoe Zoe V's in Boston. I don't know much about cars. Sorry folks And we'll integrate lift software into a couple of them in the coming months Lift also has autonomous car partnerships with GM and Waymo of Veronica What does it have anything to do with your knowledge of cars? It has to do what nothing brought your proud tradition of I never know if so Zio you so Zoe, you know, I don't know for sure on that one I know it's Renault because it's French Did I say Renault you said Renault? I would guess Zoe, but I could be wrong on that one A million people are emailing you right now Keep them coming. I think there's a great partnership in autonomy Of course doing the autonomous car service in Singapore one of the first companies in the world to offer actual autonomous car service to the public there So bringing it to Boston is great. We don't know when it's actually going to be available for people This is just the announcement of the partnership But lift also taking a different tactic from Uber, which is trying to roll their own autonomous car lift partnering with GM with Waymo And now with Newtonomy saying we'll take all comers. We don't we don't care who you are I mean if they weren't in direct competition, they'd probably partner with Uber on that one as well Yeah, and someone who was it today one of the big car companies pulled their soul to all their Tesla stock Because they're working on their own EV stuff. I think it was Ford But I'm not a hundred percent sure so there's definitely I mean the the movement is is happening Movement get it. Yeah, toyota toyota all its Tesla stock because they want to do a flying car by 2020 There you go The US Supreme Court agreed Monday to hear carpenter versus the United States and Take on the decision of whether the government needs a warrant to obtain location information from cell phone companies now Decisions in courts up to now on the issue have relied on a 1979 court case called Smith versus Maryland in that case the Supreme Court ruled that since you hand over the number You dial to a third party namely the phone company You have no reasonable expectation of privacy the fact that you make a call requires someone else Besides you and the party you're calling to know about it And so hey the court said that's not private and that therefore Warrants were not needed to go to come to telephone companies and get a record of who you call now Under the stored communications act in the US investigators still must show what's essentially Reasonable grounds to believe the records are relevant and material in order to get location information out of a cell phone They however don't need to show probable cause which is the normal thing that you need to show to get a warrant So the argument that will be decided by the Supreme Court is Whether or not the stored communications act violates the fourth amendment prohibition Against unreasonable search and seizure if you're the phone cup if you're the law enforcement if you're the United States You're saying no this does not violate the fourth amendment. It's it's perfectly reasonable It is a lower standard because location information is also shared with your phone company And therefore and you don't have an expectation of privacy on the other hand if you're arguing on the side of carpenter You're saying hey location information a whole different thing and you can't not share it You don't have a choice and so we think this is a violation of the fourth amendment protection. Yeah, man That's that's tricky. I Don't know. I don't know. Do you feel like location data is different from call data? I'm of two minds on the one hand I take the tactic in my own life of hey lots fewer things are private than you think are Forget about laws. There's there's people out there Harvesting data all over the place And so I try to live my life with the idea that pretty much everything could be seen by someone Don't don't rely on on the privacy of anything on the internet. That's just a long-standing Fact of the internet since the 90s That said there, you know, I I I don't want the law to open up the doors and make it easy to find out those things, right? so I Would like it to require a higher standard and I feel like in the current climate, you know law enforcement is Wanting to have easier ways to get at things for very good reasons But those pressures are so much that we should we should hold the line and make sure that you really need the easier path before we give it Yeah, I mean there the expectations of privacy, especially like you said of you know companies that work as data brokers Fortunately, most of that data is Anomized and just being used as a as a general trend kind of predictor, but yeah, you can find About a person Using that data also So it's it's just a matter of you know Do we give up a level of privacy for convenience and safety or do we try as much as possible to lock ourselves down? And and remember probable cause Means hey, we're pretty sure this person committed a crime and we want these records And that that's what that's what we're not saying that the law enforcement couldn't ever get location records It's just what standard of evidence do they have to bring can they be like hey, you know this person is probably involved somehow We don't know if they committed a crime. That's the reasonable evidence Saying no you can never have them without at all is not what's at issue It's is it someone who's tangentially related to something and it's a bit of a fishing expedition because you think hey Maybe it'll shed some light in the case or is it we know for sure. We're fairly confident not know for sure We're fairly confident this person is connected to this case Yeah, I mean it's it's super tricky And I think it goes just even beyond as you were saying the the general privacy stuff and into how Warrants are actually obtained and what what it constitutes probable cause. Yeah Amazon announced a 45% discount on Amazon Prime membership to US residents who have an electronic benefits transfer card The service normally cost $10 and 99 cents a month in the US But the discount would make it $5 and 99 cents per month and still provide free two-way shipping online movies and TV shows and more And this is kind of like bring it down from feeling like a very You know, they want to make it Accessible to to everyone as much as possible Yeah, they want to compete with Walmart Yeah, they didn't get jet. They're mad What whether the motivation is greed or not it is probably it's probably mixed, right? I mean, obviously they want to compete with Walmart on the other hand They also don't want people to feel like they can't shop at Amazon. It's because they want to sell things though Well, I love I love yeah, I love how I immediately was like this is so altruistic and Tom is like they're greedy. I Don't think they're why not both. Yeah, I don't think Sawyer on the other hand does But yeah, I think this is a good plan for whatever the motivation is because if you're on electronic benefits If you don't understand what that is, that's basically government assistance in the United States Then this is a way to take advantage of free two-day shipping and Amazon Prime video and all kinds of other things Don't you think? Yes. I said yes. Did you not hear me say yes? I was hoping you would buy me time to get Sawyer The next one Okay, we'll just we'll just keep the dog barks in According to Bloomberg Uber told its employees that more than 20 people have been fired after an investigation into sexual harassment Claims TechCrunch reports former Apple marketing executive Basoma st. John has taken a job at Uber I saw someone say that she'll be chief branding officer at Uber. I haven't seen that confirmed yet Uber has also hired former Harvard associate Francis Frey as its first SVP of leadership and strategy tasked with overhauling company culture Training and recruiting managers and creating a zero-tolerance sexual harassment policy So this is a house cleaning Yeah, and this isn't even the Eric Holder investigation yet This is this is just the first step and this is also they said there's even more employees who are currently receiving Mm-hmm kind of like lessons and how not to sexually harass Remediation so they're basically getting like Therapy, there's a better word for it than what I'm coming up with. I can't remember what exactly they said They're getting like retrained essentially And then there's still more people that still even need to be processed and who are going through the the review process About this right now. So they are really really digging in Which I appreciate I think that's good. I think they had to take big steps So yes, there is no doubt that what Uber is doing is significant. They are not they're not holding back They obviously are questions about whether this will actually fix things or not that can't be answered by anybody No matter, you know, you can have your opinions about whether it will But we just won't know until they're through the entire Eric Holder report and they've taken all the steps and Give them time to see what works what I wonder for you Veronica somebody who's working in tech Right now Does this do you think this could have the effect of changing the culture beyond just Uber? Do you think other companies might start looking at this and saying, you know what? We need to take action now before we end up in that situation I mean, certainly not every company has the same level of problems that Uber has You know, I think this is really a top-down issue in a lot of ways where the culture is informed by the Executive executive level people Sometimes or at least them being very free forgiving of that kind of behavior or you know setting personal examples It's and not cracking down very early. It's something that kind of has to develop very early in a company's culture to to, you know Stay away from it's I that sounds really messed up But when you start a company, you have to think about what kind of company you want to be and what kind of policies You put into place and how you treat your employees and how you expect your employees to treat their their co-workers And you have to crack down pretty early or else sometimes as we've seen it can it can spiral out of control And if there's no one if there's no gatekeepers saying this is not okay This is not acceptable behavior. It continues to spiral out of control So I think maybe other companies who are either in their early stages or you know Potentially even further along are gonna start saying, you know, we really need to get a system in place to prevent this from ever happening at the first point Let alone thinking about how to take care of it. Once it's already become a problem Yeah, I I think that That that companies may have in the past Swept some things under the rug because they thought they weren't that bad. Oh, yeah, this is not an issue here This is just one individual well, you know You know, you're you're it really isn't horrible. It's just the way things are done You know, no real harm has happened And I think this is the kind of situation that can make companies second-guess that kind of attitude It's it's like Domino's, you know, there's always It starts with one situation and it just gets worse and worse sometimes depending on the way the company handles it So you really have to put the kibosh on it pretty pretty early. Yeah, Domino's falling not delivering in 30 minutes No, that's right. Yeah All right, folks, if you want to get all the tech headlines each day in about five minutes subscribe to Daily Tech headlines.com That is a look at our top stories. By the way, Daily Tech headlines podcast Amazon Echo Flash Briefing and anchor FM the app go try it out in all three places find out which one works best for you Let's get Veronica's bot take out of your bot scene today You had a link to a story about developing bot personalities the idea that if I have this right you tell me that You can't just create a bot that talks in natural language that if you really want people to Like the bot that your company is is having interact with them. You got to give them a little personality Yeah, this is a really great post and I think there's a ton of really good teachings here as well But I something I had never thought of before that really stood out to me was building a bot personality based on Myers-Briggs and this was also very timely as Tom knows because My first my husband took the Myers-Briggs and then I took it and then I made Tom take it and then we made a Roger Take it and everyone I know at my company take it and a lot of businesses do this because depending on what your personality type is You may you know take direction better in certain ways or you might interact with certain people in different ways And so it's kind of just a really good overview of how we Respond and react to situations and it's by no means definitive. I mean it's kind of I don't it's not like zodiac In the sense that you know, there's I mean there's really a lot of science behind this Not to say if you're a strong believer in zodiac I mean my my zodiac sign really does feel like me sometimes There's there's more to the Myers-Briggs than than star signs It's based on elements of actual human psychology But at the same time, it's not definitive If you take the test and it tells you you're an advocate or a debater or something like that That you you may not fit squarely into all of these categories totally You know some people like my husband fit exactly into his character category. I think you fit pretty closely, too The advocate it's it's the least common personality I'm the console. I'm the depending on which which version of the test you look at. I mean, I'm an ESFJ So I'm extroverted sensing feeling and judging We're both FJ, that's why we get along and and Roger took the test and ended up as the debater Entp. Oh, I'm so surprised Not I'm not surprised. I'm not at all surprised. I was a baby about that I'm sure he would I mean I that I can't wait to read about that personality type because it's gonna crack me up But anyway, you can take these personality types and you can create a bot that fits into one of these 16 personality types, right? Exactly and then you kind of have an idea of how your bots going to interact with people You can write your copy you can write your personality or train your AI around that personality type So it's consistent and that's one of the most important things about designing kind of a bot experience For for for the future is is having a consistent experience that people understand how to communicate it communicate with it Two things I took out of this article that I thought were we're so much so interesting was one The idea that people project a personality on a conversational interface whether you create one or not and I think of all of the early GPS units where we Talked about how mad they sound if we didn't follow the directions and they didn't really but you project that on them Right, so the idea is you you want to take charge of that if you're creating a bot so that the projected personality Isn't just randomly assigned by the listener But but you're guiding what that personality should be and then the other thing that I found interesting is they're hiring authors To oh yeah, these personalities. Oh, you didn't know that Not till I read this article. No. Oh, no. Yeah, this is a huge huge huge huge trend in in in bots A lot of the big companies like poll string for example hire creative writers and authors To work on the platform to give the specific bots whether it's a branded bot or whether it's something that's going to that You're gonna build on top of a very distinct personality and voice Yes, you need Writing dialogue right and creating distinct personalities. That's an author or screenwriter, right? That's that's that's pretty cool Well, that's one of the reasons I actually got into That's that's one of the reasons they take silenced her I Did see that and thought wow Google was hiring. They're not hiring anymore I mean, I'm not gonna leave this job, but if I had to I would totally take a job Working for a bot company writing up the bot personalities with Roger. Would you do that? Maybe I don't know. I mean, I You know, honestly, I had I didn't get a chance to read my entire personality result profile So I still may get a surprise like oh, I should totally become like, you know a lawyer Which I would probably detest because I have to cuz not to because my cousins are lawyers But because they've told me that it's kind of a very painful road To to row to hoe. Yeah. Oh I was just talking to Roger saying that if if I had to not do this job, which I don't plan to leave I Might want that job. I might want to create Conversational interfaces as an author like as a writer. That'd be there you go. Yeah. Did I did you lose me mid-sentence? I did But it was near the end of a sentence.  All right. Yeah. Yeah, it was a good It was a really good thought What was it again? I don't remember now. Yeah, it's gone. Let me just rewind. It'll be fine Well, this is really cool. So of course you can find more like this in the bot zine. Where do they go to subscribe to that? bot zine.org Excellent. All right, we got some fan mail here Some reactions to WWDC a few other things Allen wrote in and said as you and Patrick were summing up the WWDC Patrick mentioned that Apple was showing off VR mainly to attract VR developers rather than VR users at least yet It is a developers conference at that point something clicked and all the stuff about machine learning Which is useful for VR and pro users came together for me with the goal of VR developers I think I know why Apple has lost a lot of ground in recent years to windows in the creative professional space Especially in video production between the lukewarm reception to final cut pro and the lack of pro hardware development a lot of creative Pros have moved to windows when not too long ago No one would have considered anything but an Apple machine for most creative work things like illustration photo video, etc This translates into consumer mind space as well not to mention the prosumers who also trend towards Apple the tool of the Professionals I think Apple realizes that VR is the next big battleground for creative professionals And if they ever want to regain their position as the platform of choice VR is their opportunity to do so of all the pros that felt abandoned by Apple the creative professionals are probably the most important Apple's brand and reputation Alan says wow, I didn't think I'd get anything out of WWDC coverage, but you guys managed to spur some interesting thoughts bravo That's a little bit of a backhanded comment compliment, but I think that was good. I totally agree too Yeah, I think that is smart And I think Alan totally nailed it in a way that hadn't crystallized for me yet Which is it's not just that they're going back after the professionals They're trying to target the next thing professionals will need machines for rather than competing on the things They need now where like it like he said windows has already stolen a lot of market share So aim towards where people are going and you're more likely to get them back Alright Jake from KFDI in Wichita, Kansas actually sent us a call and he's got a lovely radio voice Hey DTNS crew Apple is planning on blocking text messages while driving with iOS 11 That's according to an article I found on CNN money It's there do not disturb while driving feature the cars moving or if the phone is connected to a car It would hold back on any notifications for things like text messages or news updates according to CNN You can set your phone to auto respond with a message saying you're driving the thing that caught my attention though The iPhone screen would be locked you could still use Apple Maps But you won't be able to input destinations passengers can disable the screen lock that sounds like things like ways or Pokemon Go giving you the ability to say I'm a passenger I can't tell if this is going to be automatically enabled or if it's something that you opt into and I'd like to hear your thoughts On this triple a Kansas says the number of teenage drivers involved in deadly crashes jumped 10 percent between 2014 and 2015 And that 16 and 17 year olds are three times more likely than adults to be involved in a fatal crash Triple a says distractions like cell phones or talking to friends plays a part in six out of ten crashes involving teenagers Do you think Apple's idea is a good way to reduce those statistics? Yeah, this is something where you will be able to not use it if you want because just In order to have passengers be able to use their phones you have to be able to turn it off And and and you can have it on and say oh no I'm a passenger. So some people will be able to get around it. It also doesn't stop people from texting while driving This is notification Elimination so again people can get around it and do some texting, but it would put a speed bump in it I I think it will if anything it won't directly stop things But it will sort of create the mindset of oh, right. I shouldn't be doing that I would like it to be able to turn off notifications when something like ways is running Because my big problem is I constantly get notifications because the screen is unlocked. So I get those drop-down notifications Yeah, and I'm sorry. I burped. Did you hear me? I hope not. We would now we're certain we heard it now You're definitely gonna hear me anyway. Sorry about that It drives me nuts those notifications like and sometimes they just sit there Blocking the top like third of the screen for like a really long time No, and this is gonna be great for that and in fact, I might want I might want to trick my phone into thinking it's driving Sometimes just to reduce the notifications. Yeah I This one comes from bill he says Tom Honey, I never know how to say this. I don't either But I think I'm gonna say hop-up this time because I say a different hop-up Okay, he says Tom with my hop-up cable card tuner died. I replaced it with a silicon dust home run cable card tuner I've been using the free version of Plex till then but when I saw that Plex supported DVR on the home run I bought the Plex pass. I also bought a Roku to supplement my Chromecasts Plex live is only available on Android TV and iOS at this time when it becomes available on more devices I'll be able to use it I could eliminate three set top boxes from Comcast if I wasn't the only family member who knew how to operate Plex Roku and Chromecast. I don't think the non-technical type of user is a potential Plex customer I've been using the Windows Media Center with a cable card tuner as a DVR for many years The problem is viewing the recorded videos on devices other than the system running WMC when it was recorded I can convert non-protected videos to MP4 files, but I lose all the metadata Plex displays the metadata and I can see the data with thumbnails on my alternate alternate devices The bottom line is that Plex has a lot to offer, but it isn't ready for prime time. It's from Bill Berlin game in Huntsville Yeah, thank you Bill. That's good analysis because it's one of the debates we had on court killers yesterday about this as well Which is whether whether it's friendly to the babysitter, right? To the person who comes over as a guest who doesn't know how your system works And and I think it could be I think Plex could be if it's a very simple setup Where it's like you press this button to turn on the TV and the Roku and that's all there is But if you've got a cable box and something else it can start to get more complicated. So good stuff Finally just another pilot and a patreon supporter wrote in about the proposal to privatize air traffic control now This is a little farther afield from our normal tech operation But I know we have a lot of pilots out there Joe the pilot for one and a bunch of folks and this Correspondent said hey if and this is not Joe by the way, this is just another pilot Says hey if any of you guys want to or need to touch on this I'd love to point you in the direction of my viewpoint basically making air traffic control private won't speed up innovation We've got a good plan to modernize the system and it'll never happen until it's funded if it's something that comes up Keep an eye out for next gen which can meet two of I don't know how many goals without any funding The rest will need to come from money somehow the ATC Union might be a hurdle to innovation But everything I've seen from GAO and otherwise hasn't pointed to the controllers of the Union or to regulation Get next gen up and running and you can probably decrease some of the staffing But no one is holding up that first step except Congress by way of both parties So this is someone who works in the in in the system and says I I don't know if this is gonna help or hurt But what you really need is to fund the change of the technology and they have a couple of they have a couple of opportunities there Interesting. Yeah, I read that the Union was pro privatization But I don't really know enough about this kind of thing to to speak knowledgeably on it interesting I'd read the opposite. So that that is very interesting. Oh, yeah, no, I definitely read that the Union seemed to support it Well, thanks to everybody who participates in our subreddit submit stories and votes on them a daily tech news show dot reddit dot com Real quickly before we wrap up Chris the amateur traveler He's been doing tech and travel minute for us for over a year now So give Chris a little congratulations on Twitter if you see him go check out amateur traveler calm And thanks to my new setup. I can actually play them in line now So here's Chris going a little old school this week I'm Chris Christensen from amateur traveler with another tech in travel minute We're gonna go old school today here thinking again about road trips this summer Some of you may not be old enough to remember this But it used to be we used these maps that were made of this thing called paper And if you were really lucky you used a map from the AAA from the American automobile Association when traveling in the US Here that was called a triptych TRI PTIK and that was where they took individual small maps and they marked out your Route with little stamps that had arrows on them and where to turn all of these things and you would turn Page by page through this it was particularly wonderful if you were a kid and you were learning to navigate Well, it turns out that's not entirely dead There is still a way to do that at triple a search Google for a a a triptych TRI PTIK and you'll find their triptych app And you can use it to print either on actual paper or to a PDF file Or even send it to an email this series of maps that are step-by-step Directions for the specific trip you're doing it will give you driving directions as most apps do but will also give you Advisories that this particular route in summer is busy between this and this exit There's deep fog in this section this time of year and then we'll give you these details segment by segment maps If you want to go old-school or nostalgic with your navigation this year go to triple a's triptych I'm Chris Christensen from amateur traveler. Oh my gosh. That's so cool. I've forgotten all about triptychs I use them in the 90s and you had to go to the office and have them print them out for you It's pretty great that you can just do it. You can DIY it now I feel like he told me something about that like many years ago. Yeah, probably it was another another travel podcaster Yeah, yeah, that's cool. Well, thank you Chris Go check out amateur traveler like you said amateur traveler comm and send us your picks feedback on daily tech news show comm Veronica Belmont. Thank you so much.

I'm just a debater Are you Follow the path of the unsafe independent thinker exposure ideas to the dangers of controversy speak your mind and fear to the less If you're less the label of crackpot than the stigma of conformity And on issues that seem important to you stand up and be candid at any cost So you're an ENTP Yeah, or you could just shorten it to ET Oh, did they put dad jokes in this personality test? Have you have the dad jokes? Oh yours yours. Oh This is mine. It's remembering mine Mine is the ENTP I put in a slack I'm also a Scorpio Sagittarius. So I don't know what it means on Yeah, they don't relate The debater personality type is the ultimate devil's advocate thriving on the process of shredding arguments and beliefs and letting the ribbons drift in the wind for all to see Debaters don't do this because they're trying to achieve some deeper purpose or strategic goal But for the simple reason that it's fun This is so you no one loves the process of mental sparring more than debaters As it gives them a chance to exercise their effortlessly quit quit brought accumulated knowledge base And capacity for connecting disparate ideas to prove their points. Oh my god. I cannot believe how much this is you This is not but tom, which were you were you were the I'm the advocate But on this I think you might have also been a diplomat Oh, the advocate is the diplomat. It's the same thing. Yeah, it's the same thing So this tactic shouldn't be confused with the sort of mutual understanding diplomat personalities seek Debaters like all analyst personality types are on a constant quest for knowledge And what better way to gain it than to attack and defend an idea from every angle from every side They will they will do podcasts with the advocate personality and constantly debate them I want to say oh parenthood they have a section on parenthood. How do my kids turn out? Oh debaters, you might know weird al yankovich Adam savage Silverman Mark tween That's cool And tom hanks Tom Thomas Edison That's funny and Irene Adler Irene Adler made up the fictional character Yeah, yeah, I mean here's the thing though as as close as that was to Roger I read one that was not yours thinking it was yours and was like this is so Veronica So there's a little bit of like you will project what you expect on these descriptions Coming to terms with their sensitivity is consul's biggest challenge People are going to disagree and they're going to criticize and while it hurts. It's just a part of life Who's what's that? That's it's me. This is me. Okay. Yeah Conclusion what does the premium profile get you a print out? It's a personality change. They'll actually do surgery on you Well, but what then what's the ideal personality? No, it's just a matter of taste.  How does it end? Oh, you're gonna do jens next dating in Debater personalities is a hardly boring experience. They make use of their enthusiasm and creativity by delighting and surprising The partners with new ideas and experience. I don't I plan it and watch youtube play video games. I read this is so me the console in a workplace is like So funny All right, we're going with are you my type? Yes. Yeah, I like it. Okay. Yep. All right Oh, um, roger. How what percent are you turbulent? What percent turbulent are you with your results? It shows your percentage like Is that being on the cusp in astrology?  I see mind energy nature tactics identity Is I don't see I don't see uh, no so on your page where it says your debate 63 I'm 88 percent turbulent. What are you judging? What's your judging? Judging it's the one above turbulent. Oh 36 Hmm super judgy I'm not judgy. He's not. He's the opposite. Oh, he's not very judgy I'm 88 percent judging I expect to be disappointed by most people so it's like for me to judge Everyone everyone can meet your expectations when they're low enough That's from my science. That's from my chemistry. This is for this is for roger For relationships From the earliest dates debaters test their partner's limit for this kind of potential pushing boundaries and traditions looking for open Good-mindedness and spontaneity Dating debater personalities is hardly a boring experience and they make use of their enthusiasm and creativity by delighting and surprising Her partners with new ideas and experiences Does that sound like you? Yeah Yeah, these aren't all perfect, but they're funny. I it's I It really depends. I mean maybe when I was younger I was super like but as you get older You just move slower. Okay. So here's here's my here's my opinion on these They are not worthless because they are actually based on real Personality traits like they didn't just make this stuff up people people differ in these various ways that they're assessing but the problem is there are probably more than 16 personality types and There's a there's a sort of a distance between I'm answering a question and that question is going to put me in a bucket And so you have a percentage chance of getting someone close to what they're about Um, but it's still it's still not tuned to the complexity of the human personality That it's going to be perfect every time and I think that's why it's fun to look at these and go Oh my gosh, that person really does fit this description Um, but it's not something that you should use as 100 accurate Like every person who takes this test is now in a bucket and that's where they stay And I think that's why they have the turbulence scores and things like that, right Veronica left Well, that was part of the personality type First to leave the party To get to the next party I think they're really interesting though, and there's certainly more to them than just randomness. Yeah, it's it's not random But I mean it's but everyone has a little bit of And the thing is people have different they're different traits express themselves depending on the context of the situation Yes, that's a very good point like even you know your your answers to these questions can change based on how you feel and what your experiences were That day and like how I approach someone I've never met will definitely be different than someone I know and so various that like I'm not gonna you know if I'm at uh, if I'm at like, you know The store and I'm requesting I I'm not gonna play mind games. I just tell me where I can find, you know screws or staples Staples is up uh on olympic right on set now. Yeah, yeah I wonder if there's a one for puns In the search for personality traits derived from puns Yes, the mike mire jason briggs test See This goes yeah beat master says it's like a self-fulfilling prophecy You look for cues to confirm the bias or expectations that said I don't think all 16 Would fit so the fact that you're answering these questions and they are related in some way to reality Does narrow the number of them that would actually apply Okay, I think we're all published and everything check that out Thanks everybody for watching.


In yoga, we see a human being as five sheets or five layers of bodies. These are known as Annamaya Kosha, Manomaya Kosha, Pranamaya Kosha, Vighanamaya Kosha and Anandamaya Kosha. Translating it into English would mean Annamaya Kosha means foot body. The body, the physical body that you have is just the accumulation of food that you have eaten. It is something that you gather. Manomaya Kosha means a layer of intelligence which is capable of accumulating knowledge. But there is a layer of intelligence. It is not here or here, here somewhere. Every cell in the body has its own intelligence, yes or no? So intelligence is all across. Accumulation of knowledge is all across. When I say this, people will always think, generally the thought is, memory means it's in your head, no, no, no. Your body has a million fold more memory than your mind. Right now, your great grandfather's nose is sitting on your face because something in the body remembers, isn't it? Yes or no?  Your body remembers a million fold more than your mind can ever imagine. So, both in terms of intelligence, right now, what is happening in a single cell in your body? Can you logically, mentally or intellectually decipher what's happening in one cell in your body? One molecule of DNA, what's happening is too much to know. So, the intelligence and the memory in the body is way beyond what happens in the bone box that you call as your head. It is just that this part of your intelligence can generate thought and because you have become very attached to your thought, you think intelligence is all coming from here. No, this is exuding much more intelligence than your brain can ever think of. This is the science of yoga, one dimension of it. Let me speak about a very small aspect of this. Essentially, one aspect of yoga means understanding the geometry of existence. When I say the geometry of existence, for example, this solar system is functioning the way it's functioning.  Everything, all life on this planet is solar powered, isn't it? I was, you know like about six weeks ago, I was in an open helicopter. We were just at about 4,500 feet. Everybody knows every thousand feet so much temperature drops, so you prepare for that and go. But suddenly it became extremely cold, so cold that we had to come down. So, we were just discussing. Because the cloud cover came, suddenly it became so cold, we just couldn't stay there. So, we were just discussing if sun disappears, how long would it take for the earth to freeze up? In our calculations, we thought maybe six months, maybe three months, something. Then when I came down, I just checked out. In eighteen hours, all the oceans on the planet will be frozen solid rock. It will be frozen into solid ice in just eighteen hours time. So, you clearly know that sun is the basic source of energy, everything in this planet is solar powered. So, the geometry of the sun, the planet, the moon and other planets has a role to play in everything that happens upon this planet. All life is associated with this. Now, when you say intelligence, when you say mind, I believe you're referring to intelligence. If you're talking about the thought process, that essentially happens in the neurons in your brain, which we know. But if you're talking about mind as an intelligence, it is just all over in this body and everywhere in the existence. The very earth that you walk upon is tremendously intelligent. Have you ever seen that you planted a mango tree and by mistake it goofed and produced a coconut? Did it ever do that? No such thing ever happened. Just its neighbor is producing coconuts. By mistake, did it ever produce a coconut? Such a nut they have… nature has never produced, isn't it? But employing your logical intelligence, many times you end up into that kind of situations. So, you need to understand this, both in terms of intelligence and memory, every cell in your body carries much more than your whole brain carries.  What happened in the last few million years, it remembers and still manifesting, isn't it? So, it is not in any one place, not even just within you. It is all across you. The whole creation is just intelligence.


Warrior of the Woodland! Ranger Bill, Warrior of the Woodland, struggling against extreme odds, traveling dangerous trails, showing rare courage in the face of disaster, in the air, on horseback, or in a screaming squad car. Ranger Bill, his mind alert, a ready smile, unswerving, loyal to his mission. In all this, in exchange for the satisfaction and pride of a job well done. Ah, teletype, go like everything for a half an hour. Hey, there's special bulls in here. I'll say it's been going. There must be something big going on. I'll see what it's about. What's up, pal? Here, read it for yourself and find out. Wow! Hey, I'm watching tonight. Colonel Anders. That's important. Lock me over with a feather and call me grandpa. I see something like Henry Palwell. Wow is right, Henry. Yes, sir. Acknowledge receipt of this message and then copy this on a mimeograph, at least 50 copies. Yes, sir, on the double. I'm not through yet. Oh, sorry. Gray Wolf, Stumpy, you fellas prepare envelopes to every ranger in this district and also a numbered register. I want every ranger to sign the register as he receives this message in a sealed envelope. When the envelopes are stuffed and ready to go, you fellas divide up the district three ways and make like Paul Revere. Here, sign this register for this envelope. Hey, what's it all about? You'll find out when you read it. Come on, sign it. I've got ground to cover. Sure, sure. Boy, this must be really hot to have to sign for it. There you are, Henry. Thanks. Okay, come on, Bass, let's go. Hi, Peg. Where's Frank? Why he's out on the trail working? Why? Say, you've been writing pretty hard, and what's all that official looking paper's about? Well, I can't explain now. Sign here, please, and be sure Frank gets it some moment he returns. Sure. Where do I sign? Right here, this line. Yeah. Now remember, Peg, this is top official and extremely important. I'll see you later. Let's go, Bass. Boy, I'm glad this ain't a high tower. I'd clear go to China at the speed I was going. What's up, and what's so important? Can't say it's all inside this here official envelope. Sign here on the dotted line. Say, is this why you made me come all the way down here? Just a sign for this envelope? You got a nerve calling me down here for this. Why couldn't you stick it in the mailbox? Stop that handcock down. I gotta get moving. Okay, okay. What's inside anyway? Sail bulletin from the mail order house? Call it what you like. You change your mind after you read it. Come on horse, let's pick them up and lay them down on the double. You made it. I've been getting ulcers waiting for you. So the boys sent word ahead, huh, heavy? Yeah, they sure did. You know our back country telephone circuit. Where do I sign? Where does it look like since you're the last guy on the list? Boy, there must be hot stuff inside this envelope. Yep. Say, ain't you getting heavier all the time? Yep. I guess so. Last time I seen your Mrs. in town, she said you was on a diet. Oh, I am, I am. Huh? Yep, sure. I'm eating nothing but food. Nice of you to make a visit. I hope you don't mind my dropping by without warning. Of course not. Let's go in the house. Oh, before I forget, I'd like to have the recipe that you made for us the other night. You know that sort of pie-like thing? Oh, yes. Say, I have it in my apron pocket here. Good, Frank really loved it, so I better not go home without it. I know, heavy likes it too. It's such a lovely day. And Frank is at home, so I asked him if he'd mind babysitting while I came over. You make the two-mile hike over here, so unlike we were next door neighbors. Oh, now listen, Hannah, don't fix coffee. I come and visit you not to make you more work than you've already got. Ah, Shoppeg, it's no bother at all. Besides, I'm so tickled that you did come over. I wish we were next door neighbors, then we could visit more often. Isn't the news thrilling for our men? Yes, indeed. You know, Heavy's as excited as a little boy about this. Oh, so is Frank. What a wonderful thing to happen to them. There. Now, I'll sit down while the coffee perks. Say, I have some fresh apple strudel to go with the coffee. How nice. Oh, you've got the letter in your hand. Yes, you know me. Everything's filed away in my apron pocket. Read it to me as if I didn't know what it says. But it sounds so, so well, so extra important, like such a high honor. Yes, it does. From Chief Ranger of Naughty Pine District to all the Rangers in this command. Subject, special teletype message, just receive this AM. Quote. Oh, Hannah. Chief Ranger Bill Jefferson, one month from day you are to present to a special representative of the President of the United States, a handpicked group of your men to accompany the President's representative and a distinguished group of gentlemen from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. This handpicked honor guard will conduct the VIPs through your entire district in a very detailed and close inspection trip. I suggest your handpicked honor guard consist of 25 men in addition to yourself and your staff. Sign Colonel Joshua Albert Anders by the direction of the Secretary of the Interior. Imagine all those important people coming way out here. Now we have something to really look forward to and after it's over to talk about it with pride. I wonder who the men are that will be picked for the honor guard. I guess only Bill knows that. But have he says no matter who will be chosen for the honor guard, Bill will do it in a way that, well, it's fair in just all the men. Oh, sure, Hannah. We know Bill will pick the right men and those that deserve it and he'll probably be absolutely fair about it. Just the same. I wouldn't want to be in his shoes right now. Why not, Peggy? Don't you think somebody will get hurt feelings because he wasn't selected and perhaps there'll be some jealousy? Why, Peggy, I never thought of it that way. I suppose you're right, but then there's another way to look at it. What's that? The men who are picked, well, are in for some real tough training and work according to what have he says. Why, he says that this will be the dress parade from the word go. The men who are picked will have to be sharp as tax and polished like new diamonds. Mr. Jefferson, all men are present or accounted for. Very well. Oh, men, I know you may be so much surprised at the sudden formality of our general meetings since we've always been very informal. As we used to say in the service, this has got to be a spit and polish operation from now on until this whole affair has wound up. I know without a doubt that there isn't a man in my command who won't measure up to the great honor of his dota bonus.  And as far as I'm concerned, even though we're all on the well-known spot, we'll come through with flying colors. Mr. Kendall. Mr. Jefferson. Open the ranks for inspection. Yes, sir. On command. First rank. Two steps forward. Hunch. Second rank. One step forward. Hunch. Fourth rank. One step backward. Hunch. Mr. Jefferson, company is ready for inspection. Very well, Mr. Kendall. Join the inspection party. Yes, sir. They will just make general notes as we go along. Yes, sir. General appearance of dress uniforms is not good. Rule on haircuts must be strictly enforced. Rank. Looks like your chest is falling down to your abdominal area. Oh, well. I mean, Mr. Jefferson. Never mind. I'll discuss it with you later.  No, sir. But I do get hungry. That's self-evident. I'll talk to you later on, too. Now, there are just two things I want to say after finishing the inspection. Number one, the 25-man picked for the Honor Guard will be chosen according to seniority. And then according to fitness and appearance. Number two, having you stand at attention and in ranks has made a startling revelation. A lot of you are getting fat.  Beginning with your next meal, every man who is overweight will put himself on a diet of 1,500 calories and do calisthenics to trim himself up. This is an order. Mr. Kendall, dismiss the company. Yes, sir. Company dismissed. Well, as I must be slipping in my old age. What do you mean, Bill? He's referring to the stout ladies, Grey Wolf. Maybe you're plenty rough on them. Maybe too rough. It's liable to get a lot rougher. Let's call this operation calorie. Heavy, what's the matter? Why such a rye face? Is this an excuse for a meal my supper? Yes, dear. This is your portion of the 1,500 calories for the day. Oh, I'll starve to death. You will not. The first two weeks are the hardest until your stomach gets used to less being shoveled into it. I've got news for you. What news, Heavy? My stomach will never get used to these bird-sized meals.  I haven't got the strength to go from the table to my easy chair. You're silly.  My what? Your supper. Is that what you call that pigeon fair you serve me? Yes, that is what I call the food you ate. And you needn't try sneaking food on the side because there isn't any prepared. No pie? No pie. No cake? No cake. No homemade bread or roll? No homemade bread or rolls? No homemade bread or rolls. No food? No. I think I'll just go and bury myself now while I've still got the strength to walk to my grave. Heavy, Heavy, wake up. There's someone prowling around in the house. That man sleeps like a rock. Heavy, will you... He's not here. So, now I know who the prowler is and I'll fix him good. Where's a rifle he keeps on the wall? Aha, here it is. Please, mister. I've got a rifle and I can use it. Hannah, for the love of Mike, it's me, Heavy. Don't shoot, it's me. Aha, caught red-handed you food robber. Please, Hannah, please. I've got to have some food. My stomach's complaining something fierce. It's calling me a cheapskate, a tight-wad, a penny pincher.  Unload this rifle before it goes off and hurts someone. I'll fix something for your aching stomach. Oh, thank you, kind lady. She couldn't shoot much with an empty rifle, Hannah. What? Oh, yes, now I remember. Never leave a loaded gun around. Always keep it empty, just like I keep the refrigerator. Yeah, so I noticed. What are you going to fix for my aching stomach?  Lettuce? Lettuce? Now, what's wrong with lettuce? Nothing.  Stop looking at your horse like you're measuring in for the stew pot!  Heavy, I know you're suffering, but you've won half the battle, the roughest part. What a comfort that is. Hannah, cook balance diet, doesn't she? I'll say it's balanced. I could balance the whole meal on the tip of my tongue and not even feeling it. You'll be all right. Remember now, it's between you and Frank. You two men have a tie for seniority for 25th man on the honor guard. Say, hey Bill, do you think this saddle would taste all right if I cook it long enough? Didn't you hear what I just said about you and Frank? All I can hear is my stomach crying, I'll feed me, feed me. I'll check back the end of the two-week period and find out how you're doing. If you don't find me, start looking for a poor, emaciated creature, a fellow so wasted from starvation, he's got to stand up twice to see his own shadow. What are you doing all right? It's Frank.  Frank, what's wrong? You hurt bad. Food, please give me some food. Why you faker. Giving us the business. Well, you can't blame a fellow for trying. I hope I made my point. Hello, Peg. Hello Bill, fellas. Peg, I didn't know you were home.  I saw and heard the whole thing. You watched the fellas come up the trail with your glasses and then pulled off this, this... Shameful act! That's right, this shameful act, thank you. Pleasure, ma'am. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get everyone riled up, but... But what? But I'm so hungry, that's what. I know it's pretty rough for Frank and Heavy, but after a while they'll be glad I was rough on them. Bill, Peg and I are afraid our husbands are just about at the end of their willpower ropes. You really think so, Hannah?  No, Bill, they're really getting desperate now. I'm afraid that even being in the honor guard doesn't mean much anymore. I'm sure sorry to hear that. So are we, because we all know that losing weight is much healthier for them, and they will live longer. And Frank looks so fine now that he's trimmed down. His uniforms fit him so well without that beltline bulge. Land's safe. Heavy's becoming his old handsome self again, and I want him to get back to the healthy weight he should be in and stay there. I'd like us to grow old together. Sure you would. It's really my fault too. I should have cracked down on all my rangers who were overweight a long time ago. Let me see if I can give them more incentives. Oh, Bill, it would be so wonderful if you could. We'd be very grateful if you could help them to finish the good job they've started. Tell them I'd like to see them together here at my office in the morning. We'll see if we can't make this operation calorie a permanent thing. Bill, we know why you called us in, but before you speak your mind, we want to say something. Okay, go right ahead, Joe. We're sick and tired of this dieting and exercising.  Right. We're leaving here and going into town having us a real man-sized meal. And every meal from now on is going to be man-sized. You said it, Frank. Well, say something, will you, Bill? Caesar's ghost. Don't just sit there and look at us like that. Ball us out. Throw us out of the service. Anything but say something. We know we're not fit to be rangers anymore. We're resigned to that. We know we're slaves to overeating and we haven't any willpower. But, Bill, we've had this bad habit so long we can't give it up. Man, in this envelope delivered to me this morning by a special courier are all the details of the VIP inspection. What I didn't know before is that the VIPs are bringing their wives with them. So they're bringing their wives? What's that got to do with us? The VIP's wives will have to be entertained. And I'm going to ask the rangers' wives to do the entertaining. Now, what kind of an impression will be made when your wives introduce their large-sized husbands to the VIPs and their wives at the special dinner? Special dinner? Dinner. Yes, special dinner. And as a reward to you and your wives, I was going to ask Peg and Hannah to be co-hostesses of the special dinner, which I think would mean an awful lot to them, especially since you men are stationed at the perimeter outposts of this command. Your courageous and fine wives don't see much of civilization in a year's time. This would give them something important to look forward to and back at for years to come. Now, you two gentlemen have just blown my plans to bits. I'm sorry for your wife's sakes and for your sakes. Ah, boy, Peg would really go for that all right. She could get herself a new dress and everything. Yeah, yeah, it would mean the world to them all right. Well, I'm sorry, fellas, that this didn't work out. You may return to your posts. Bill, only one of us can be the 25th man on the Honor Guard, can he? The suggested number is 25, yes. Thanks. Come on, Frank. Yes. Oh, just one more thing. Yes, sir? Full dress rehearsal will be held two weeks from today with marching band and the works. Good day, gentlemen. One, one, all. Oh, Bill, how can you do it? You've been up here a week dieting with us and exercising. I feel good now after working out. Man, it's in when we don't get any food. That's when a big letdown comes. Yeah, me too, likewise. You have to work out. I guess it's the famous I could scream. Well, fellas, when that occurs, try these. There's a can of them for each of you. Thanks. Hey, this sounds pretty good. High protein and energy tablets. Yeah, why didn't you give us them before? Because they're not a substitute for willpower. These tablets are used by athletes for rebuilding spent energy safely and safely. Now, do you think you can make the grade by yourselves? Yeah, sure. But there's still the old question, which one of us will be chosen? Right. The one who isn't has gone through all this for nothing. You just look at yourself in the mirror and see if it's been for nothing. And let me worry about the 25th man. Proceed with the breast rehearsal, Mr. Kendall. Yes, sir. Then, sound off. Ladies, you have in the handkerchief, I'll lend you mine. Oh, wonderful. So straight, slim, athletic. It's your day. Those are our men, Peg. The rangers' flight should be with pride and joy. Look at those handsome men. So trimming. They're so manly. Phil, you still haven't picked the 25th man. I will in just a few minutes. That was very fine. Very fine indeed. You won nothing but praise from your wives. Their critical and loving eyes have given full approval. And now for the important announcements you've been waiting for. First, this dress parade is not exercise, but for the simple fact that every man in my command will appear in this company formation before the VIPs. No one will be left out. Now for the 25th man. As you all very well know, there's been some tremendous effort made by two men to gain the honor of being chosen the 25th man of the Honor Guard. These two men have earned the respect and appreciation of everyone here today. It would hardly be fair to choose one and not the other. Therefore the Honor Guard will have two 25th men. I see Frank, but who's that skinny fellow with him? Henry, I hope you can always call me skinny. Bill, thanks a million. It was worth it. I'll say it was. By the way, where are you going to be while all the rangers and their wives take part in showing off our district? You're right out there in front. You've got to be, Bill.  We want them to see the best boss ranger in the country. Thanks, fellas, but don't you worry about me. I'll be there somewhere just being proud as a peacock, especially of my 25th man, both of them. That's our story for today, boys and girls. See you next week for more adventure with... Ranger Bill came to you transcribed from the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. This has been a presentation from our Moody Broadcasting Network Archives. Please join us again for another classic right here.


Hello and welcome you all for this online session on dispersion univariate statistical analysis for the course data analytics. Myself, Mr. Vipul Kondekar from Walchand Institute of Technology, Sholabur. So, these are the learning outcomes for this video session. So, you will be able to actually calculate these parameter values dispersion statistic parameter values and not only just calculate you will be able to make interpretation of these statistical parameters. So, these are the contents present in this video session we will have introduction we will talk about different statistical parameters then we will see how we can do the calculations and what are the results obtained for some sample data and then some observations and interpretations. Now, let us start with this when you talk about analysis the data may be available for analysis that may be univariate, bivariate or multivariate. So, number of attributes you are analyzing if it is only single attribute that becomes univariate analysis. If you are analyzing two attributes simultaneously that becomes bivariate analysis. If more than two attributes are there and you are analyzing that that becomes multivariate analysis and the all these analysis can be done in by using three different approaches. As we discussed first approaches you can go for frequency calculation, second approaches you can go for visualization of these attributes and third approach is you can come up with some statistical descriptors. So, when you are analyzing univariate data the statistical descriptor can be of two kinds the descriptor may be a location statistic descriptor or dispersion statistic descriptor. So, today we will be talking about different dispersion univariate statistic parameters. So, when you talk about dispersion statistic measures they are basically talking about how distinct and how different the values are present in the given sample space for different attributes. So, the most commonly used dispersion statistic parameters are it starts with the amplitude. What do you mean by amplitude? Let us say you have a data of heights of 100 different persons. So, what do you mean by amplitude of the height? So, amplitude is nothing but it is just the difference between the maximum value of that attribute and minimum value. So, you have 100 contacts and then a person is having height maximum height taken by a person is let us say 195 and minimum height taken by the person is let us say 150 in terms of centimeter. So, the difference between maximum and minimum 195 minus 150 comes out to be 45. So, 45 is the amplitude for that attribute height then comes inter quartile range. So, you know location univariate statistic parameters for the data are there we are doing the calculations of first quartile value, second quartile value which is nothing but the median value and third quartile value. So, inter quartile range is nothing but the difference between the third quartile value and first quartile value because definitely when you are calculating this quartile values the attribute values you are arranging in the ascending order. So, third quartile will be always larger than that of the first quartile value. So, you inter quartile range will be always positive. So, it just talks about the width of the box plot. So, in the earlier video we have just checked how I can visualize this quartile values in terms of box plots. So, the width of the box plot will be represented by inter quartile range. Now, next important descriptor is mean absolute deviation because mean is not that much significant when the attributes are taking the values in such a way that the difference is like suppose you are doing 10 different measurements for all those 10 measurements you are calculating how much is the measurement error. So, for every measurement let us say you are measuring temperature. So, 10 different temperature measurements you are done. So, for every measurement you are considering actual temperature and major temperature and the difference between these two is coming out to be error between the measurement. Now, it may happen that for certain measurements the major value is greater than actual value for certain measurements major value is less than actual value. So, hence the measurement error may be positive for some measurements and negative for some other measurements, but if you just calculate the mean what may happen that those positive values may get compensated because of the negative values and effective mean value I am getting as 0, but it does not mean that error in the measurement was 0 because the magnitudes positive and negative values are getting compensated. So, to override this problem you come up with different descriptors like mean absolute deviation. So, this mean absolute deviation talks about what it is the sum it is the mean of summations of the difference values calculated and difference also we are interested in magnitude not sign. So, that is why that mod sign you are finding for that particular formula it is you can check the difference between the mean value of the attribute and actual value taken by the attribute. Let us say the mean of the weight value is 59 and let us say one person is having weight 61. So, 61 minus 59. So, that will be the difference of 2. So, then you calculate these difference values for all the instances you sum up all those difference values and then you calculate it is mean. So, that is why it is called as mean absolute deviation because this difference is giving you the measure of deviation how deviated the actual value is from its mean. So, you will come up with this important parameter called as mean absolute deviation, but the problem with this mean absolute deviation is the outlier values present in the data will contribute a lot and that will significantly increase the mean absolute deviation value outliers creates problem in calculation of this mean absolute deviation. Then comes a statistical parameter called as standard deviation. So, this standard deviation is another measure of calculating the distance between the actual observation and its corresponding mean value. Mathematically the standard deviation is calculated by this particular formula it is denoted as sigma x standard deviation calculated for some attribute x is sigma x which is given by under root of summation i equal to 1 to n here this n is representing number of instances present in your data, number of values present for your data. So, for each and every value what you do is you calculate the difference between the value and its corresponding mean and then you square the difference. So, no way of getting negative values here because you are calculating square and you sum up all those square difference values and those square difference values are summed and then its average is taken and as you have square this difference values finally, what you do is you take square root. So, to compensate that effect. So, it is like root of mean of square value it is like rms value only so called as standard deviation. So, this is how you can calculate the standard deviation. Now, in case of data analytics always keep in mind. So, many times you are making the analysis over the samples not for whole population and in that case when you are coming up with this mean absolute deviation and standard deviation values for the samples there is slight change mean absolute deviation over the sample is denoted by m ad bar x for attribute x and in the calculations and this is the standard deviation for the calculated over the sample and in formula what is change? So, this mu x here was representing the mean for whole population, but in these calculations we will consider the mean for the sample space itself. So, sample values mean. So, it is denoted as x bar. So, here you will find it is mu x here you will find it is x bar and one more change is when you are calculating these values for the population the mean is calculated by considering the total number of instances as it is n, but here it is n minus 1 1 less than that of the total number of values present keep this point important point in mind. Unless until specified these values are calculated are considered to be calculated over the samples and when you have this standard deviation value you can come up with one more descriptor dispersion statistic descriptor called as variance and variance is nothing, but just squared value of the standard deviation. So, square of s will give you the sample variance value. So, if you have this type of contact list where you have this quantitative attribute weight height and maximum temperature for these 14 different instances. So, n comes out to be 14 here and then these are the actual values. So, from this table if you implement the earlier formulas for this table sample mean calculation and standard deviation calculation you will come up with these as the results. So, this is the summary of the results that can be obtained for the earlier table as far as the statistical parameters considered are amplitude, interquartile range, mean absolute deviation and standard deviation. So, these are giving you the information about the spread or dispersion itself. More is the spread more will be the interquartile range more will be the amplitude more will be the standard deviation value more will be the mean absolute deviation value and in that also every value has got different significance. Now just think which of the following statements are correct. The mean is measure of deviation in the data set standard deviation is the measure of dispersion the range is the measure of central tendency and median is the measure of dispersion. So, just remember mean, mode and median all these are the measures of central tendency of the data. If you know that the only correct answer here will be the standard deviation is basically a measure of dispersion. So, this is all for the today's class online class here these are the here are the references which are used for this video presentation. Thank you.
