I'm not sure how many of you saw this, this happened right before I came on stream, but Justin Baragona tweets out Tucker Carlson calls Ken Clippenstein some stooge at the intercept, some joke billionaire funded website because Ken knows how to file a good FOIA request and his producer doesn't. So we'll watch the video, but Tucker Carlson is trying to dunk on an independent journalist all because he filed a FOIA request. Like that's literally what happened here. It's to my understanding that Tucker Carlson made the claim that the NSA is spying on him, he then filed a FOIA request, and then Ken Clippenstein filed a FOIA request of his FOIA request and now he's getting attacked by Tucker Carlson. So let's watch the clip here and then I'll give you some more context. There's an article, I mean it's from the Washington Post, not the greatest source in the world, but just so we have some backstory as to what Tucker Carlson is freaking out about, but let's see his attack on fellow comrade Ken Clippenstein. Well we've been spied on by the Biden administration, there's not a lot you can do about it, you can make noise about it and see him outraged, but in the end you don't really have a lot of recourse, you learn a lot about your democracy with that happen.  What happens to you?  He cries and makes himself the victim, it's insufferable. The persecution complex from conservatives is so insufferable and it drives me nuts. It's finally Freedom of Information Act request, seeking any call records, texts or emails that the NSA got from you or in this case us and so we did that. We haven't heard back from the NSA, probably won't for a long time, they promptly respond however to some stooge at the intercept, which is some joke billionaire funded website. Okay, who funds Fox News? Is Fox News not a billionaire funded enterprise?  I mean this logic here is moronic.  Okay, sure. Ken Clippenstein might work for a billion billionaire funded project, but Ken Clippenstein is an independent journalist.  Now perhaps he does work for the intercept, but that doesn't mean that Ken Clippenstein is inherently bad. You know, I can't stand the Washington Post, right? I just referenced my disillusionment with them, but still that doesn't mean that journalists like Jeff Stein aren't bad or aren't good, I should say, right? Like sure, there's going to be systemic issues at these outlets. You can argue that there are systemic issues, but then to just like automatically assume that all of them are bad, it's moronic, right? And the same even is true for Fox News. As much as I loathe Fox News hosts and the overwhelming majority of them are terrible, you still have some individuals who are actually reasonable, like Juan Williams. And there's another guy, but I'm blanking on his name. He used to be part of TYT Network, Richard Something. But you know, it's just like this is elementary thinking.  And I love how this multi-millionaire is trying to make it seem as if Ken Clippenstein of all people is the establishment when this motherfucker, the number one news show, news host in the country, you're the establishment, bitch. This guy filed a FOIA request about our FOIA request and then wrote on Twitter this. I've obtained under FOIA the FOIA request. Tucker Carlson sent the NSA base. Let's go with that. Interesting is, and it really does kind of crystallize the total degradation of American journalism. The intercept was... Why does it characterize how journalism has degraded if he filed a FOIA request on your FOIA request? Like, you're trying to turn this into a big thing, you're saying I'm the victim and here you have a journalist who's trying to find out details about this and yet you're shitting on him. Yeah. And look at the picture that they used of Ken. They're trying to make him look like this goofball.     It was founded to push back against the surveillance state, it was founded by Glenn Greenwald and now of course they're busy covering it up and cheering it on. You wonder, instead of foying our FOIA requests, what are you going to find there? Nothing. Want to figure out what the NSA is doing, the largest intel agency in the world? That... Don't you figure out what the NSA is doing. You have the number one news show in America and rather than actually educating your audience, you're fear mongering.   So don't tell Ken Clippenstein what he should be doing, motherfucker. You have a bigger platform than Ken Clippenstein.   That might occupy your time, that might be a virtuous thing to do, it doesn't occur. Because of course they support it and its success. Yes. Ken Clippenstein supports you getting spied on. I mean has Tucker Carlson ever cared about NSA spying before it affected him personally? I'm genuinely asking because maybe he did. Maybe he is consistent here, more consistent than I thought.  Jonathan Turley is a law professor at George Washington University, knows a lot.  So I want to get to Ken Clippenstein and his response here. Where did I defend the NSA Tucker Carlson? The whole reason I filed the FOIA request is because I thought it was possible they had collected on you. I speculated it was incidental and wanted to learn more. Now did the NSA collect Tucker Carlson's metadata or spy on him?  This is what the Snowden revelations taught all of us. The funny thing is I was one of seemingly few people who actually thought it was plausible that the NSA could have incidentally collected on Tucker Carlson so I foiled his foyer to find out specifics but this is all pro wrestling to him so he can't imagine journalistic curiosity. Yeah that's exactly it. This is pro wrestling, that's the best way to put it.  So this is from Philip Bump who says somehow Fox News host Tucker Carlson learned last month, let me make it a little bit bigger for you all, that the US government knew he was trying to set up an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Carlson or people working for him had contacted intermediaries with connections to the Kremlin according to reporting from Axios and that outreach came to the government's attention.  Did Tucker Carlson come out to defend John Oliver when that was the case? Don't think so, don't think so. That by itself is not surprising, intelligence agencies should certainly be expected to be tracking communications involving foreigners linked to the Russian government and it would not be surprising for even US citizens with strong ties to Putin to be under some sort of surveillance. If you or I email with Putin's scheduler the odds are good that the National Security Agency will be aware of that interaction thanks to its near certain monitoring of that person. What the NSA is not supposed to know is who we are assuming that you like me or US citizen. The identities of Americans swept up in surveillance of foreign nationals are supposed to be kept hidden, masked as the vernacular has it unless there's an intelligence need to figure out who we are. That's the mystery of Tucker Carlson's situation. Did someone in the government alert Carlson that his communications had been intercepted and if so, how and why did they know? So here's where we get to him being super hyperbolic on purpose. All of this came to light when Carlson made the extraordinary accusation on his show that the NSA was monitoring our electronic communications and is planning to leak them in an attempt to take this show off the air. So this is basically like if you read the subtext, this is him saying, look folks, we're such good truth tellers that the deep state is coming after us and they're going to try to get us deep platforms. So I think that there is a likelihood that the NSA spied on him when he did come into contact with the scheduler for Putin. But is it some sort of nefarious plot to take down Tucker Carlson? No, I don't believe that's the case. He hasn't presented any evidence that that is the case. He said he learned this from a whistleblower. Then using his claim that the Biden administration was spying on him. He warned his viewers that the administration would surely not hesitate to spy on them as well. It's already happening, Tucker. That's the thing that's so frustrating to me. It's happening. He just doesn't care about it until it happens to him. Now, it's funny. This reminds me. Does anyone remember back in, I think it was 2014, 2013, when Diane Feinstein was basically a proponent of NSA spying? She defended it. And then all of a sudden when she found out that the NSA was spying on US senators, all of a sudden she's like, wait, we need to do an investigation. We need to find out what's happening because this is unacceptable. This is a violation of civil liberties and the Fourth Amendment. And of course, I'm paraphrasing what you said. But folks like this, conservatives like Tucker Carlson and Diane Feinstein, who is a conservative, albeit to a lesser extent, they don't care about things unless it happens to them.  So that's all I got to say. I mean, this dipshit is attacking the one journalist who's looking into his claims that the NSA spied on him. And so they foiled his foyer request.  Big deal. Get over it.


So now that we have a better understanding of what physics is, how can we actually use all of this physics? As I mentioned earlier in this video, we will learn about Newton's law of universal gravitation in the form of a mathematical equation. Now why is a mathematical equation so important to understanding physics? And why do we spend so much time learning about the equation for Newton's law of universal gravitation? Well ultimately this equation is a tool that allows us to understand and predict how gravity affects the world. Lots of things are affected by gravity, and Newton's law of universal gravitation allows us to model these effects. If we can quantify the rules that the world around us seems to follow, we can use these rules to manipulate our environment. For example, we can work out how objects fall on the earth, how ramps affect the motion of objects, how a banked track lets a vehicle go faster, how objects in space pull and orbit each other, how far away a satellite should be to be in a useful orbit, and what happens when there are multiple objects pulling on each other. These are some of the topics we'll cover in the course, but there's a big difference between understanding the concept of gravity, which is that things this mass attract each other, and knowing how Newton's law of universal gravitation works. Without a mathematical model, it's very difficult to make specific and testable predictions. But similarly, without understanding the concept of gravity, then Newton's law of universal gravitation is just an equation with some random parameters in it. We need to use both physics concepts and equations to truly understand and use physics. In the next video, we'll be introduced to the form of this equation for the first time. But keep in mind that the equation is powerful because it can explain a lot of the physical behavior we observe, and ultimately how our universe works.


Sure, of course it is. That's crazy. Like, for example, look, I'll give you an example in Canada. It's a cultural thing to a certain degree, right? In Canada, my cousins, when they were kids, they had friends, neighbors in the neighborhood, like neighbors, kids that were friends, right? And Armenian tradition is very food-centric, right? So when the neighbors kids were playing at my cousin's place, when they were about to eat, have dinner and stuff, their kids could stay and have dinner, right? They did at times, right? And there was usually, you know, there's rice and all that. There's food to go around, right? Because Armenian life is food-centric, right? There's food usually, right? Lots of food. So the kids would stay for dinner sometimes, right? But when my cousins were at their neighbor's house, when it was time for them to have dinner, the parents of the neighbors would say, okay kids, you guys have to go home, it's time for us to have dinner, right? And my cousins would come home, right? This wasn't something that the family really held in contempt. Some did. Some thought, hey, that's wrong. How come they do this and stuff? And I would always say, look, this is a cultural thing. Just because food is plentiful in your house, it doesn't mean it's plentiful in their house. And it doesn't mean their house is food-centric because Canadian homes, much of Canadian culture is not a food-centric culture, hasn't been for a long time, okay? Only recently has food really got, sort of got into people's families where people are food-oriented, right? Like when I was growing up here in Canada, I would have friends come over for dinner and they wouldn't even know what rice was. We put rice on the table, they go, what's that? I would laugh. I go, what do you mean what's that? That's rice. You eat it. Go on, right? So it's a cultural thing.  Everything in the world is not racist, right? Really. Very few things in the world actually are racist.  I've gotten into fights with people over racism. I've had people tell me to speak English in their country in Canada when I was speaking Armenian or Farsi to family or friends, right? And sometimes the situation got a little tense, right? Depending on my mood, right? So all this racism going around is silly.

All right, welcome to my talk on triple O, bridging the gap between deploying OpenStack as a cloud application and as a traditional application. My name is James Slagle, and I'm a principal software engineer at Red Hat. So just real quickly to introduce or review what triple O's mission statement is, we're an OpenStack deployment tool where we actually use OpenStack to deploy OpenStack itself. And when I say that, I mean, we really focus on using the OpenStack projects that expose end user APIs. So you have two OpenStack clouds. You have an under cloud and an over cloud, and these are two separate OpenStack clouds. So you start by installing the under cloud, which is just a single node installation of OpenStack. And then on top of that, you want to deploy an application. That just happens to be your over cloud, which is your end user tenant facing cloud. And when we talk about deploying applications on the cloud, these are some of the characteristics that most people tend to think of. You have an elastic and resilient infrastructure. It's also usually hybrid. You want to be able to have multiple deployment targets, whether those are physical or virtual. Typically you have a microservices approach, so your services expose an API and they're loosely coupled. You also want your services to be composable so that they work together to form a larger application. Those characteristics are often contrasted with how you would deploy a traditional application. In these cases, you often have different physical storage requirements and you are deploying to large pools of heterogeneous hardware. In these cases, you also typically have entrenched management tools that you need to integrate with, whether those tools are for provisioning or network configuration. You also have typical entrenched configuration management tools like Puppet or Chef or Ansible and of course, monitoring tools. So what we really try to do is kind of bridge the gap between these two extremes and kind of meet both sides of these requirements. So how do we do that? The first way is our approach to the bare metal management since our deployment tool uses Nova and Ironic to deploy, we're able to treat hardware as generic pools, if you want to be able to deploy your instances that way. However, we also are able to address the typical operator requirements such as using predefined host names and IP addresses. We also model all of the physical networks that your servers are connected to. We're also able to do predictable instance scheduling with Nova, Ironic and Inspector. We actually boot the nodes into a discovery RAM disk and we do a lot of benchmarking and hardware data gathering. And you're actually able to define a set of rules based on that data that you've gathered and you can tag your nodes and those tags are associated with Nova flavors and then those Nova flavors are associated with the roles that you actually want to deploy in your cloud. So you know exactly what types of roles is going to which hardware. We can also validate the entire physical hardware environment so you can exclude certain hardware from your deployment if you know there are problems with it. We also take an approach to hybrid infrastructure so we can deploy to bare metal virtual or containers and the entire deployment model is abstracted so you don't have to use triple O to actually provision the hardware itself. You can use an external tool if you want to whether that's provisioning bare metal or virtual. We also have a hybrid cloud approach to where you can use resources that are on or off premise just depending on how you want to scale your resources. If you have an existing cloud and you want to experiment with like a new API service you could actually run that on off premise resources if you wanted to. We also have a modular template design for each service so this is kind of where we get our microservices approach each service is responsible for describing how you install it or how you scale it up or scale down or how you upgrade that service and that's completely separate from the way that you deploy the infrastructure side of the stack. So since we actually control installing the under cloud we're able to be specific about what open stack services we include on that piece of the deployment tool. So if you wanted to include projects like Cilometer, Zikar things like that on your under cloud to actually use that to manage your over cloud you're able to do that. So you could have Cilometer emitting events to a Zikar queue and then heat consuming those events and then triggering a Mistral workflow so you can set up kind of a whole chain of event subscription processing using just open stack. You can also scale the under cloud itself just using those services there. So if you wanted to add additional ironic conductors if you're going to deploy a bunch more bare metal you'd be able to scale out your under cloud if you wanted to do that. So kind of where are we going with all this? So we're looking at tighter integration with Ansible in the future. Right now we use Puppet quite extensively but Ansible is kind of proving to be a common way that people are deploying all types of applications. So you'll be able to execute Ansible playbooks for the service configuration side and you'd be able to apply those via heat or Ansible directly. And this kind of gives operators more flexibility into exactly how the configuration is applied. And then of course, Kubernetes. You know, the combination of open stack and Kubernetes is obviously very attractive for cloud applications and most open stack deployment tools are moving to use Kubernetes. So of course you want to be able to take advantage of those same advantages that that tool offers you. So for scaling, scheduling and self-healing apps, you want to be able to apply that to your open stack cloud itself, not just applications that you have on the cloud. So just real quickly in the last few minutes I have. So this looks a little busy probably but these are some of our service configuration templates. And you can actually see where we're including Puppet here and in this specific one, we actually have some Ansible tasks to upgrade this service which is Glance API. And in the same tree, we actually have a Docker version of that. So this is a real pluggable model just depending on how you want to deploy this particular service. This is a heat environment file that shows kind of how we wire up these services to however they're implemented whether you're using Docker or Puppet in this case. The other thing I wanted to show is kind of how we model the bare metal network configuration. So in this example, this is the network configuration that would apply. We would apply for the controller role. You can see how we have the network modeled in this file and that configuration would get applied to the bare metal itself kind of depending on what physical networks are actually attached to the node. So thank you very much. We are an upstream open stack project so would love to get more contributors. If you're interested, this is how you can get in touch with us and then there are some of my details at the bottom. I'd love to answer any questions in one minute for questions or you can catch me at the end, yes. So yes, how is the Ansible Puppet link going to work? So that will be orchestrated via heat. Heat is actually what is driving either Ansible or Puppet. There's an agent on the instance that pulls the data from heat and then depending on what's in that data will either execute the Puppet or Ansible. Right, so yeah, they're not gonna run at the same time but yeah, you'd be able to use either like, we're actually using Puppet for the configuration of the services in Docker containers right now just because the Puppet modules are very rich at the configuration they can do.


Artificial Dragon's Gate A dragon creation ritual, carb transformation. Jump the waterfall already, you wet puppy. Conspectus. A carb can transform into a dragon by successfully climbing up a dragon's gate waterfall. However, for people who aren't able to go to one of those waterfalls, or for someone who wants to transform a specific carb into a dragon, this is the way to go. Knowledge. This ritual must be performed outdoors or in an open air environment, and with the body of water and waterfall which are not completely sterile except for the carb, or it will not work. An adult carb must be used in this ritual, or the best case scenario is that it will not work. A sizable waterfall is necessary, but don't worry, it doesn't have to be nearly as big as the one in Hennan. Simply create or find a waterfall large enough to be a challenge to the carb and it will work. This ritual is basically an emulation ritual for harnessing the natural transformative magic of the Wild Dragon's Gate ritual and placing it in a smaller more accessible scale. The reason it works is by convincing reality that this is an acceptable substitute for the real deal. It is certainly not the only way to turn a fish into a dragon, but it is the least risky way to do it as long as you follow all the rules. History and Associated Parties. This ritual has been practically unchanged since it was discovered in China, at least according to whoever wrote the English language translation I use. Now if only they weren't allergic to providing names and dates. Generally, it was used more politically than anything else. Create a dragon for a certain ruler's reign as a sign of heavenly approval, or just a general good omen, and hope said a ruler doesn't screw up enough to be eaten by said dragon. That being said, it's always been important to remember that these are made from carp, which can't and will eat anything that fits in her mouth. Poking out a new dragon was and still is a good way to become the first meal of ascension. Most of the time, rituals were performed away from anyone important who could get eaten. Approach. As stated before, you're going to need a body of water, a waterfall, a suitable adult carp, and a lot of patience. Place two imbued carp effigies at the base of the waterfall, and two imbued dragons at the top of the waterfall. This tells reality that this is a dragon's gate waterfall, despite being smaller than most of the natural ones. These will also have patterns carved in to redirect the backlash from the working into something manageable. Once you've made all the preparations, the only thing you can do is wait for the carp to jump the falls on its own time. You can use prior training to try and convince it to jump, but otherwise interfering with the ritual is a bad idea. Other detail. A general feature of the permitted carp to go through this ritual is that they are all very heavily bodied and very hungry. Goldfish and koi work best for this ritual because you can train them to jump the waterfall and return for a reward, while other carp may simply ignore the waterfall and favor eating whatever they can find in the main body of water. Observations and stories. The threshold of the dragon's gate. Beneath the serene quiet of the water lilies, a young carp senses a calling, swelling up in her heart, like the swirling water to the base of a great waterfall, somehow summoned to go beyond the barrier, of crashing water and veiled mist. The turning water to the waterfall's bottom matches that of the young carp's desires. Finally with a burst of enthusiasm, the carp has launched herself up the wall of rushing water, cresting the first falls with a surge of effort, only to be met with relentless rushing water. Persevering from one cataract to the next, the carp makes it to the summit's last falls. Regrouping her energies in a pocket of scouring effervescence, every essence of strength, courage and spirit is consumed in the launching over the fall summit. And the dragon's gate accepts her effort to transform the gate of fire, revealing the birth of a new dragon, born of the seed of desire planted in the heart of a small carp that once hid in the shallows. Howard Schroeder thresholded the dragon's gate. If in carp pledged a solemn bow, I shall swim beyond the dragon gate. I shall brave the perilous bolts of fire and lightning. I shall transcend the estate of ordinary fish and achieve a place among the order of sacred dragons. I shall rid myself forever of the terrible suffering to which my race is air, expunge every trace of our shame and humiliation. Waiting until the third day of the third month, when the peach blossoms are in flower and the river is full, he made his way to the entrance of the U-barrier. Then with a flick of his tail, red-finned carp swam forth. U-men had never laid eyes on the awesome torrent of water that rolls through the dragon gates. It falls all the way from the summit to the far-off Kunlun range with tremendous force. There are wild, thousand-foot waves that rush down through gorges towering the dizzy in heights on either side, carrying away whole hillsides as they go. Every bolt of thunder beat down with a deafening roar. Moaning whirlwinds whip up poisonous mists and funnel the noisome, vapor-spitting, flashing forks of lightning. The mountain spirits are stunned in the senselessness. The river spirits turn limp with fright. Just a drop of this water will shatter the carapace of the giant tortoise. It will break the bones of the giant whale. It was into this maelstrom that red-finned Carey, his splendid golden red scales girded to the full. His steely teeth thrumming like drums made a direct all-out assault. Ah, golden carp, golden carp, you might have led an ordinary life out in a boundless ocean. It teemed with luster fish. You would not have gone hungry, then why? What made you embark on this wild and bitter struggle? What was waiting for you up beyond the barrier? Suddenly, after being seared by cliff-shattering bolts of lightning, after being battered by a heavenly scorching blast of thunderfire, his scaly armor burnt from head to tail. His fins sensed through. Red-finned carp perished into the great death and rose again as a divine dragon, a supreme lord of the waters. Now, with the thunder god at his head and a fire god at his rear, flanked right and left with the gods of rain and wind, he moves abroad with the clouds in one hand and mist in the other, bringing new life to the tender young shoots withering in the long-parched desert lands, keeping the true Dharma safe amid the defilement of the degenerate world. Had he been content to pass his life like a lame turtle or blind tortoise, feeding on wrinkles and tiny shrimps, not even all the effort of Asuki, Manosvi, and the other dragon kings might muster on his behalf could have done him any good. He could never have achieved the great success that he did. Hakuin Ikaku 1686-1769 Japanese Zen master and artist, the essential teachings of Zen master Hakuin, translated by Norman Waddell, 1994, page 64. Doubt. As the editor for this and a witness to more than a few of these rituals, I can't really agree with the idea that they're stupider than wild dragons. I swear that they know more than they let on. Speaker
