From theCUBE Studios in Palo Alto in Boston, connecting with thought leaders all around the world, this is a CUBE Conversation. Welcome to this CUBE Conversation. Lisa Martin here with one of Dell Technologies customers. What a great time to be talking about a candy company. Clifton Dorsey joins me, the VP at World Corporation. Clifton, welcome to theCUBE. Hi, thank you. I appreciate being here. So I know World Corporation does more than candy, but you know, here we are approaching the holidays and I think all of us could just use a feel-good story about candy. But I know you do more. Tell our audience a little bit more about World from a corporation standpoint. Sure, World Corporation's been in family, or it's a family owned business for 50 plus years. We're a co-packer, co-manufacturer. So you won't really see a World Candy Bar out there, but we really helped bring to life a lot of innovative ideas around the candy and the good for you products for a lot of our partners. So talk to us about, you're obviously working with Dell Technologies. Give us an insight into your data center operations, your IT environment before the solution that we're going to be talking about. What was that like physical on-prem cloud? Well, our data center kind of falls right in line with the same time of year as a horror story. When I first came here and got on board, a lot of outdated equipment, despair and equipment separated, our backups were, they were few and far between. The equipment was so old that some of it wasn't even supported anymore. We had antiquated systems, but the biggest thing is the confidence level. You have zero confidence that your systems stay running. Your backup, it was an everyday occurrence just to try to get a reliable backup for just a piece of the data, let alone all of our data and information that we had. That confidence factor is table stakes. And especially now it's, if a company can't have confidence that their data is secure and protected, that's, you know, folks that can't might not be around tomorrow. But talk to me a little bit about from a workload's perspective, what were you protecting VMs, ERP systems? Give us a slice of that data in terms of its impact on the business. Sure, and you're correct. You know, having that confidence level in the systems is what you need. Our SQL databases are in there, our ERP systems in there, our file servers. And at the time, even our email server was in there. So any one of those goes down, it's a business impact. You know, you have to look at what can't you do when that happens. On our manufacturing floor, we're collecting a lot of data coming back off the floor for all of our folks in purchasing and procurement and our run times to make sure that we're hitting our dates on time. So even our shipping and receiving team needs to know how the floor is running to know if we're going to hit those ship dates and when to schedule the truck. So it literally all correlates and all comes together. And I imagine also, not just does that involve every aspect of world's business internally, but relationships with the partners that you are helping fulfill, right? That's correct, because we're making their product. If they can't have the product on the shelves, that impacts them. You know, so we really have to do everything that we can to make sure our systems are up, make sure everything is running and really fulfill their order and get it out there. So you can have that product. Yeah, that's why often we talk about data protection and brand reputation go hand in hand. So talk to me, when you came into Worrell, you must have seen nowhere to go but up. Talk to me about some of the things that you said we have got to, for example, aging physical infrastructure. We've got to replace that. We obviously have to be able to have reliable data protection because we have to have the confidence that we can enable our teams and our partners. But what were some of the things that you said, all right, let me kind of get a phased approach here. What are we going to change and why are we going to do it with Dell Technologies? Sure, so looking at our business continuity plan, you don't have a good DR. So you have to start looking backwards of where do you start? So we have zero backups, our data is not protected. We have zero confidence in it.  Our systems aren't really there for us to back up. So it really started at the appliance level and our server level to get rid of all of the old information, get a new subset of servers in. So we have a new VxRail environment in. It integrates great with the integrated appliance, ties directly into it. So we have backups, we have everyday backups. We have fast and speedy backups. Then we can offload those to an offsite. So we now truly have a full business continuity plan on a DR disaster recovery situation. That's critical because I was reading your case study and where there was no DR before, talk to me about the ability to leverage the clouds of now with what you've implemented and the PowerProtect series. You've now got the ability to, from a DR perspective, I just want to understand that, especially here we are, you know, towards the end of 2020 when there's been such a shift to remote operations, what's that cloud benefit like from a DR standpoint? It's been great. You know, we were old tape backups.  Who's taking them home? What vault are they living in? You know, with the remote aspect, all of that worry goes away. Everything is offloaded. Everything goes into a cloud. If there is a situation, we just work through our cloud environment. We can reinstate business, literally a click of a switch. Yeah, I was looking at some of your statistics and it looks like about a six-sector reduction in your backup windows and a huge reduction in your physical footprint. The data center also, I imagine, more green. Tell us a little bit about it from that perspective. Sure. Hey, a couple of points you hit there. I mean, our deduplication and compression rates are higher than what we're expected by far. So that's been a great spot as far as we don't need as much physical storage to hold all of that. Well, with that, we were able to take our racks. We had three server racks. We went down to half of one server rack. So you're heating and air conditioning, you're heating and cooling costs comes down. Your power cost comes down. All of that soft cost that stretches around this environment really has a benefit for us. I'm also thinking too, in this time of everything shifting and data protection becoming business critical, your team's productivity, one, we talked about the backup, big reduction in backup windows, but your team must be much more productive. And also I imagine for confidence from a reputation standpoint, your executives, your senior management probably now has the confidence because you have the confidence and the data is secure. Yeah, Lisa, that's true. And even down to our user level, when I first got here, I mean, our users were complaining about not being able to print a Word document. I mean, not being able to print a document, that's fundamental stuff. Started diving into it and our systems are just old and disparate and weren't configured the best. So our team's really been able to revamp all of that, redo all of that. And the confidence level around the organization has just really improved. And it's great to see we now have a lot more time to work on tomorrow than living in the trenches of today. Which everyone needs right now since it's pivot after pivot after pivot. I'm curious, how long ago did you come in? Like how many years ago did you find this antiquated system? Yeah, I've been here a little over two years now. Okay, so fairly recently, what were some of the things that you think where I was stuck in? Was it cultural? Was it operational? What was it that you helped influence in terms of we have to make a change now? One of the things for me is one of the old phrases I think is the worst phrase is, well, because we've always done it that way. So getting a fresh line and a fresh look on something was able to really help out. The innovation that Dell brings to the table falls in line with the innovation that we bring for candy. So let's look at what they have, let's look at how they tie together. But when we had to do a full forklift of our infrastructure and our data center, you want to look at the integrated systems and how you get that best performance and at the best bang for the buck when it comes to the budget. Because if they're unbudgeted dollars, you really got to get every dollar to stretch farther. And looking at the VX real with the integrated appliance and with the CDRA to offload to a cloud site, it was a perfect package. It was the perfect pairing for what we needed. But going from, you talk about, we've always done it this way and you're right, we hear that a lot and it's, well, why, you can do it so much differently. Can you imagine if they were still doing it that way in the era of COVID? But thinking about this big switch from a big physical footprint to going to hyperconverged infrastructure, how was that transition that you helped drive, how did it shift the culture out world? Because imagine it, 50-year-old company it must have, right? Yeah, I believe it did. I believe it helped everyone kind of just look at everything and say, just because it worked to get us here is it's going to work with to get us to tomorrow. So everybody really started looking at different situations and different things. When we sat down with our users, we changed the entire desktop experience. We have new laptops, we have new operating systems, we have the way things are working better. So it really changed the culture through and through. So when you go to work, you want systems to work. When you come in, the last thing you want to deal with is, oh, is computers going to be down? Do I have to call IT today? So getting that scalability was great, but getting that reliance from the user and from the keyboard the whole way back to your Edge was a huge win for us. And let's look at your team now having more time to be innovative, especially I'm curious what you've been able to do the last six, seven months that you now have this reliable infrastructure, data secure internally, people can print things and check their emails without having to bother IT. What are some of the new maybe strategic areas that you've been able to get involved in because you have the time to focus on them? We're really getting involved with more of the plant, all the equipment on the floor, trying to collect that data and correlate all that data coming off the floor. And now we're able to have a little fun of how do we get the data on the floor real-time collection back into the system and how can we have technology help drive that innovation on the floor. When our R&D department comes to us about we have a new product that needs to run, where do we run it? I'm now able to work with the manufacturing manager and say that type of product runs best on this machine and here's the data to support that. That's really the fun of what we can do for tomorrow. So is this now enabled you to become data-driven whereas before maybe not so much? I agree, yes, very much so. And it's good data. It's not hypothetical data that someone put on a piece of paper and thought through it. It's really good data that we can correlate and collect. And that's critical, especially right now is everybody wants everything real-time and the consumer demand has changed as every industry and I think it's probably gonna be a pretty big demand still this year for candy. I know that sounds pretty good right about now. I'd love to get your advice for men and women in your position coming into maybe a legacy business that has an antiquated infrastructure. How do you recommend, how do you advise that they go about approaching leadership and their teams to do a complete transformation? I think it starts with a good partner. You gotta have a good partner and able to put things in order. I like to call it one hand to high five. You have to have that good partner to fall back on. You build a good solid solution and then you look at what your budget can do but it's all about the culture. If you can find out where your culture is suffering because people are upset when they come in because something doesn't work. Well, what's the root cause of that? How do you get that out of play? Work with your folks. I always say I want people to drive in happy I want people to drive home happy. How do we make sure that is? And I know it sounds weird coming from the IT guy but you have a huge impact. So when you can look at everyday experience of sitting down, coming into your office and sitting down at your technology and it works. It's just one level of stress that we no longer have. I said it's a huge level of stress that you don't have. And I think that's an important point that you bring up.  And actually if we do there might be a competitor right behind us that's ready to come in and take over. This is a competitive differentiator and especially in the time of this dynamic environment in which we live the status quo, the comfort zone probably going to be a factor in determining I think the winners of tomorrow. Do you agree with that? I do agree with that. And what we actually found is when we asked people to kind of think outside of their box and step back a minute we found that they were doing something as a bandaid. Well, I have to now do it this way and it just became status quo. When we pulled that bandaid off we kept going back, kept going back, kept going back and found out you're doing something because it wasn't fixed four processes ago. Let's fix that. Now it's not even a thing. So it just leverages a more time to think more outside of the box. So how do I better the situation? And they can really look at everything they do how do I make it better? Down to how the orders come in how we process the orders to even how we ship them out and how we package them up in the truck. Well, when you were talking about bandaid is a bandaid on bandaid on bandaid I just think inherently complexity. Yes. So talk to me in last question here as we wrap up here from a simplification perspective how has Dell Technologies helped transform and simplify the environment? I don't know that I have the word and I've been thinking for that how is that because it's been so monumental that they've done for us? I mean, down to we've been able to revamp our data center and I know that that sounds odd. Well, it's just a VX-Roller, it's just that it's not it's being able to simplify all of the stuff we had down into five U of rack space allowed us to clean up our data center clean up that complexity everything's running inside of there. We no longer have a tape drive sitting somewhere else. We now have more man hours and the soft costs we have more man hours to do a lot more of the tomorrow world. So the complexity we can add our own level of complexity when we want for security or anything else but we're not, we don't have a whole spider web of stuff going on that we have to work through just to see where we need to start. And that's really, as you said, what's the word it's transformative but it sounds to you like what you're doing as a leader yourself and with Dell Technologies is really enabling the organization or has enabled it to get out of its comfort zone embrace modernizing, take out complexity where it's not needed and focus on business outcomes which at the end of the day is the most important thing. It is and we have our own research and development team here for what's the next candy you're gonna see on the market, we have our own innovation team. I challenged every one of the departments that I work with to think the same thing. What's next in your world? How can you re-innovate what you have? What haven't we thought of? You know, and the old thing is no idea is a bad idea. Let's put it on the table, let's bet it out, let's see if it works. But then also working with the other departments. The other departments are now able to collaborate why didn't know that you needed that? Yep, that's the data I need. Oh, that's easy, here you go. And it has really streamlined processes from start to finish. My collaboration is essential. Well, Clifton, thanks for sharing what you're doing with Dell Technologies, the new DP series. Great work there, we look forward to hearing more of what's to come from Wuro. I do appreciate, thank you so much for your time, Lisa and the Dell team. The appliances and everything has been great for us. So we appreciate everything Dell's done, thank you. Excellent, I know you have that confidence because you talked about it. All right guys, for Clifton Dorsey, I'm Lisa Martin and you're watching this CUBE conversation.


Hey, I'm super proud of our small we you guys know we got a small call center secure tele sales final expands and Medicare supplements over the phone I'm super proud of them 20 med seps over the phone and one week is not too shabby very soon We'll be doing over a hundred med seps a month and Literally you guys won't believe this.

It's called the 870 Express Tactical made by Remington. 18 and a half inch barrel. And overall, it's been very reliable. It has a door breacher choke on there. This is a six plus one. The forend action is rather smooth.


the array of choices that we have with just a little bit of capitalism in the United States is stunning as compared to any socialist experiment that has ever existed. And this idea that American working class is somehow suffering and burdened and in misery is ridiculous. The working class in America is some of the richest people in the world. In terms of capital income or wealth, we have been an enormous success across the board. Yes, inequality is high, but that's part of that is that the people at the bottom are much richer than they used to be. Much richer than people in the middle class or upper classes in other countries. Yes, if we're all equally poor, it looks like we have inequality, but now the inequality is in a space where we're all relatively rich. Wow, wow.


When it comes to this issue of salvation, the reason why there's a lot of misunderstanding on the back and forth is because one issue in the Bible that either gets misunderstood or just altogether neglected is the issue of or is the doctrine of atonement. If a person can fully understand what it means to be atoned for then they would have a better understanding of salvation because in essence our atonement is our salvation. So this is one of if not the most important discussion that you could possibly have regarding your salvation and a better understanding. Remember, as we stand before God just naturally we stand guilty. We don't stand innocent and then we have to prove ourselves guilty. No, we stand guilty because there's a debt that's owed. What is a debt? The debt is a sin debt. Without going too far back we understand that because of Adam's sin that we all inherited this particular sin nature and even if you think that that's unfair well you have also added to this sin debt on your own account. Why?  Watch a two-year-old, watch a one-year-old, watch a three-year-old. They have a natural proclivity to sin and what happens is we get older we just get better at it and so what does God decide to do about it? God wants to do a couple things. One, he wants to eliminate what he sees before us, how he knows or what we're known by which is our sin but there has to be some sort of payment.  His justice dictates that there must be payment for or punishment for this sin but his love also brings about payment for his for the sin. His love brings about satisfaction for this wrath. Now this is what we're talking about. We're talking about the atonement and you need to understand what the atonement is and how it works. The word atonement or the Hebrew word kafar it's really brings it brings about three elements really the first two brings about the third and it is this covering, this canceling and this reconciliation. The covering and the canceling brings about the reconciliation. The covering is the covering of sin in other words whatever is before whatever's been the problem the heart of the matter the root of the matter that's covered that's dealt with the cancellation is the debt that's owed whatever sin wrought and so there we've got the covering and the canceling sin once those two have been dealt with and been met then there can be a reconciliation. So before I go into the scriptures let me give you an example that I give often if a person steals from me my watch for example and that person says they're sorry but they keep wearing the watch well then as far as I'm concerned they're not sorry you are still wearing the watch so how do we make reconciliation how can we be back together as one one group either friends or what have you well the person that stole the person that harmed or grieved me they don't get to tell me how to be reconciled they don't get to tell me what's going to take to make me hold I set the terms the person on the other end if they agreed to it will then fine then reconciled then reconciliation is possible and so if I say for example I want my watch back plus I want a more expensive watch and so if I said that for reconciliation be made that I want not only my watch back which may be a hundred dollars I want another watch on top of that a Rolex watch which is a thousand dollars five thousand dollars the person might say that's a little bit steep all I did was take your watch but you don't tell me you don't have the right to tell me what it's going to take to make me hold if you agree to go with that that's fine now notice I've determined what the payment is going to be this watch my original watch plus a ten thousand dollars five thousand dollar Rolex watch this watch my original watch plus a five ten thousand Rolex watch once the person gives me both of those things that I require once my debt once my demands are met then my wrath is satisfied the debt is canceled what I could never do to that person that offended me or sinned against me in the first place I could never come back later and say do you remember when you did this I can never hold that against why because the debt has been paid and now they are justified remember that term because if you're justified that means to be declared right and to be treated as such going forward now there is a problem inherently in just a traditional atonement that is the debt that's paid for what about the debts that will be incurred afterward well God has a remedy for that and here we've come to this issue of the atonement God has made a covenant with Israel and this particular covenant is not like the Abrahamic covenant which was an unconditional covenant this covenant is a conditional covenant and if then if you do this children of Israel then I as God will do that if you don't do this then I will do this in terms of punishment and so what he gives them is a way for him to have fellowship with them and they can be before him not necessarily in his full glory but that he can still have a relationship with him he brings about a way of atonement in Leviticus 16 we read about the atonement and there are three elements that are required first there is the high priest who is going to mediate between the people and God but because he's a man he also has to atone for himself as well we'll talk about that a little bit later then there has to be this scapegoat the scapegoat is going to have all of the sins of the people confess on his head and then sent away and then the third is going to be the sacrificial offering the offering that is going to shed his blood on the altar to make atonement for the people because God has determined that blood will be the payment for sin and so in in Leviticus 16 15 we'll start there after he has made atonement for himself because he cannot enter into because he's a man who also has sinned he cannot enter before the Lord in the holy of holies before the Lord atone for he has to be in right standing as well and that's important for us to be in right standing before the Lord so after he's made atonement verse 15 he has to do the same for the people and so in verse 15 says then he shall slaughter the goat with of the sin offering which is for the people and bring its blood inside the veil and do with its blood as he did with the blood of the bull and sprinkled on the mercy seat and in front of the mercy seat he shall make atonement for the holy place because of the impurities of the sons of israel and because of their transgressions in regards to all their sin and thus he shall do for the tent of meeting which abides with them in the midst of their impurities when he goes in to make atonement in the holy place no one shall be in the tent of meeting until he comes out that that he may make atonement for himself and for his household and for all the assembly of israel then he shall go out to the altar that is before the Lord and make atonement for it and shall take some of the blood of the bull and of the blood of the goat and put it on the horns of the altar on its sides with its fingers now this is him consecrating and make atonement for not only just the people himself but also even the place because again all of this place is truth be told unholy has been defiled as he says with their impurities so he makes atonement for not only himself and his family so he can be in right standing because he can't go before the people to make atonement for them and he had not been atoned for but then he makes atonement for him for them also and then also for the tent of meeting and for the place itself then if we drop down to verse 20 he says when he finishes atoning for the holy place and the tent and the altar he shall offer the live goat then Aaron shall lay both hands on the head of the live goat and confess over all the iniquities of the sons of israel and all the transgressions in regard to all their sin and he shall lay them on the head of the goat and send it away into the wilderness by the hand of a man who stands in the readiness the goat shall bear on itself he says bear on itself all the iniquities just to a solitary land and he shall release the goat in the wilderness so now understand the picture that we're seeing here one we've got this high priest that is mediating for the people he is going to make atonement for the people shed blood that will eventually be accepted by god on behalf of the people to make a payment for the for the sins of the people and then he's going to confess the sins on the head of this live goat the sins of all of israel will be will be cast on the head of this live goat and then sent away to the wilderness in other words the sins of the people will be sent away there will be payment the term for if we look at what the word atonement means if we look in the greek septuagint the greek word that's used for it is the word for perpetuation it is this payment it is offering of a of a payment of of the debt to the the person who's old in this case it's god and so perpetuation is made payment is made now there's something else that has to happen for the people before i get there though when i get to their responsibility there's something else that you need to see but before i do there i want to go and look at what else has to happen in regards to this in verse 29 it says this shall be a permanent statue for you in the seventh month on the tenth day of the month you shall humble your souls and not do any work whether the native or the alien who sojourns among you for it is on this day that atonement shall be made for you to cleanse you you will be clean from all your sins before the lord important says you will be clean from your sins before the lord verse 31 it is to be a Sabbath of solemn rest for you that you may humble your souls it is a permanent statue so the priest who is anointed and ordained to serve as priests in his father's place shall make atonement he shall put he shall put on the living garments the holy garments and make atonement for the holy sanctuary and he shall make atonement for the ten of meaning and for the altar he's just kind of reiterating what he's already stated he shall also make atonement for the priest and for all the people of the assembly now you shall have this as a permanent statute to make atonement for your sons of israel for all their sins once every year remember that this is good for one year and just as the lord had commanded to moses so he did this is what's important this is a permanent statue a perpetual statue for them to do every year and so your sins are atoned for you in right standing before the lord for how long for one year now in the middle of that there are people and there are times where a person would commit sins and they can have their own individual offerings but this is kind of collectively for the nation of israel but there then again there are sins that are either unknown or known that you could offer to the lord there's also other offerings that you can give that are just for gratitude just for thank you lord i appreciate what you did i love you lord but in this regard their sins are atoned for now the requirement for them as we saw you have to also afflict your souls well what does that mean if we go to leviticus 23 looking at verse 27 it says exactly on the 10th day of the seventh month is the day of atonement it shall be a holy convocation for you and you shall humble your souls and present an offering by fire to the lord you shall not do any work on this day for it is a day of atonement to make atonement on behalf on your behalf before the lord if there is any person who will not humble himself on this day he shall be cut off from his people now understand what's happening if a person is to go before this perpetuation is being made perpetuation is being made a payment is being made however if you don't humble yourself just because it's offered does not mean in a sense it's going to be beneficial to you so what what must they do they must humble themselves how one no work it's a Sabbath for them also they have to avoid or abstain food they have to fast as well and so here they are afflicting or humbling themselves in regards to what's happening why because they understand that they are fallen people and they need god the picture of this is a repentant heart that's important as we go further into the new testament and look at how salvation works not only for israel but also for us Gentiles as well because what's going to happen is he's going to take the same element god is a guy who's not changing he's taking this exact same thing this atonement and he's going to apply it to israel and to the Gentiles forever in terms of our salvation this salvation or their atonement is only for one year we're getting ready for an atonement that lasts forever before i do before we go to the new testament i want to look up something i want to show you something that you may not have seen in the bible you've seen it but maybe it's glanced over or because the bible is written in Hebrew the english doesn't fully carry it out but if we go to leviticus chapter 17 verse 11 i want to show you something in verse 11 it says for the life of the flesh is in the blood and i have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls for it is the blood by reason of the life that makes atonement a couple things before i get to my main point he's stating that the blood is what makes atonement god has determined that blood will be the payment for sin problem is for us if we give our blood and he wants all of it well then that necessarily means that we can't live oh by the way even the blood that we would give is still insufficient it's ineffective it's not sufficient for god it's not enough to satisfy the debt however in the meantime he is determined that he will allow what's called a substitutionary atonement someone or in this case something to take the place of us that would pay the price for us and because god has stated that would be the debt required for this time then that would be enough you can't come back and say you would know what god really wanted was more than that no god asked for and received exactly what he wanted to atone for their sins for one year but i want to go back to the passage and i want you to notice something that maybe you haven't seen before in chapter 17 verse 11 as he says for the life of the flesh is in the blood and he makes a statement i have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls well isn't that really kind of reiterating what has been stated before quarry well no there's a little bit more to this i want you to notice in the hebrew here we have this word natan which is the hebrew word for to give or he gives in this case is natatin which is i have given now to say i have given you don't have to have the the first person pronoun i in it contains the pronoun i it's i have given so natatin is sufficient enough to say i have given i want you to notice something that's also there before right before in hebrew reads from right to left unlike english or greek reads from right to left right before if you look on the screen highlighted is the word hanee the word hanee is the word i so if we read this it says hua and hanee natatin i and i have given it well why would you say i i have given it well in hebrew this is a way that you can convey to say i myself have given and it could be taken in this case it is taken that not only am i myself given that i'm making a way to give it no i myself am going to be the one that's going to bring about the blood in other words the Lord is letting us know that he is going to give us the blood and we know who's speaking here we know this is the Lord speaking as a matter of fact we see the Hebrew word Yahweh which we're going to find out this Yahweh which is the I am but I share which is the I am who I am that very same person the Lord the angel the Lord God we're going to see him make this point again later on in the New Testament but what he's really saying is that I I have given I the Lord I'm going to supply the blood problem is though God the way it seems to us at this moment is that you don't have blood you don't have a body to give blood we'll come to that in a second but just remember this point when we get further on into our discussion now when we get to the New Testament we're going to see a couple of things one we're going to see this atonement that we see in the Old Testament being carried forward in the New Testament to not only make atonement for Israel but also to make atonement for the Gentiles as well well how was this done well one we're going to see that we have a high priest unlike the high priest then unlike the priest then we have a high priest who has no need to atone for himself that is Jesus Hebrews tells us that he's a high priest who also can identify with us but he has no need for atonement he has no need to have his sin atone for because he has no sin and then in John we're told we're John the Baptist he's Jesus he says look the Lamb of God interesting term for him to use the term Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world here is the one who would take away the sin how is that well what did the lamb or the scapegoat under the old covenant do he would take away the sins of the people the sins will be confessed on the scapegoat and in this case upon Jesus he will bear the sins of the people and take their sins away then he will play the other part the third role that he will play is the part of the sacrificial lamb the the offering his blood will be shed for the many remember that so it's important to understand that Jesus plays a part of the high priest the mediator between man and God and interestingly enough he's the only one because to mediate between the two efficiently and effectively he has to be man so he can mediate the he can mediate the side of man because he is man and he can also mediate the the side of God because he is God a perfect priest we have in him secondly he plays the part of the scapegoat who takes away all of our sins and in third he also offers of his own blood as an offering to pay the debt for our sin now remember under the old there had to be this humbling or afflicting of our soul and i said before that this is like a repentant heart of the people the problem is though that the hearts of men are not repentant normally we can say so for a day for a week temporarily but over the course of time will prove that we are not as repentant as we thought so our work of the Lord is also required in that regard that's why in John 3 Jesus makes a statement that no one can see the kingdom of God unless now he's given chronology so the first thing that has to happen before you can be part of this kingdom where he is going to be the leader of the king before this can happen you have to be born of the spirit or as he says born of again or born of water and spirit or born of the spirit three ways of saying the same thing born from above and first Peter tells us that it's God who caused us to be born again well why is that important to understand because the humbling of our souls the afflicting of our souls this repentant heart that is brought about initially by God he is the active agent in that remember in Ezekiel 36 he says what he's going to do to Israel that he will take out the heart of stone and put in the heart of flesh he will sprinkle clean water on their heart and put his spirit in their heart and then he will cause them to walk in their statutes we find that also that he's going to do the exact same thing with the Gentiles making the Jews jealous by calling up people who are not his people to be his people and John 1 says that everyone who is a child of God that's us Gentiles or Jews have been born of the spirit have been born of God so all of us not just the Jews but Gentiles have to be born of God first and this is something that is not according to our will but his will amen now I want to bring this out even more so as we go to the book of Hebrews but I want to point out something before we get there because we don't really see the word atonement in English in in our Bibles in the New Testament we do see the reference of it there but it's not called the atonement it's called something else which lets us know oh he's speaking about the atonement go to Romans chapter 5 starting verse 9 he says much more than having been justified I want you to look at the terms the words that are used here this word having been justified is an heiress passive participle in other words his passive was done to us it's participle meaning that it's kind of ongoing but it's heiress meaning that it happened in the past so us justified we were justified in the past this justification is an ongoing thing and it happened to us how are we justified by his blood understand this atonement is an effect he he justifies us by the blood just like that was done then and if you're justified what does that mean to be declared right and treated as such we were justified and so having been justified by his blood we shall be safe guys this is a plural future passive so a couple things one it's all of us we shall be safe but it's future meaning we will have this happen this will happen so no one could come back and say well that salvation uh doesn't we don't have it now we have to wait well we're told though uh yeah to actually realize the the fullness of it that's going to be in the future but he's guaranteeing us that it will happen we will be safe and oh by the way it's in the passive which tells us that it is done to us so we will be safe from the wrath of god to come or through him for if while we were enemies we were reconciled and again this is important we were reconciled this word right here catalegemen this is in the era's passive indicative so it's happened in the past we were reconciled to god how so through the death of his son that is the shedding of his blood much more having been reconciled since we have been reconciled we will be saved by his life now here's a point about the atonement and not only this but we also exalt in god through our lord jesus christ who through whom we have now received the reconciliation this word right here in the greek uh tain catalegemen that is the reconciliation it's a definite article so the reconciliation alabomen which is we have received so the reconciliation we have received the reconciliation not a generic or general reconciliation but the reconciliation this is clearly pointing back to an event an act well he's told us what the act is that is the redemption that we have in his blood so i hope you all are getting a picture our atonement is just like the atonement of the old of the old covenant for the jews it's also here present with us Gentiles as well as the jews meaning what was required for atonement then there had to be one this shedding of blood well that happened by christ there has to be this scapegoat where there is no sin that is attached to us but the sin has been placed on someone else remember he bore our sin he became the vessel of sin that god would just treat as sin not that he had sin but we sin he would treat him as though he has and that he would then take our sins awake and this is mediated by this high priest none other than the same person who's bearing sins and who's paying the debt jesus himself now this is brought out even more so in the book of Hebrews the book of Hebrews is written to these jews who have placed their faith in christ and it's a book written for comfort to them because what are they used to they are used to this yearly day of atonement having to do this year after year after year after all it's we're told that this is an eternal statute that this is going to be ongoing the difference is what they're not understanding is that it is a perpetual statute however it's been realized it's been fulfilled remember Jesus makes a statement I didn't come to destroy the law but to fulfill the law Romans 10 4 also says that Jesus is the end of the law how so well the end of the law the fulfillment of the law is that there needs to be the people's sins to be atoned for we see this as we read really in Daniel 9's prophecy as well as Jeremiah about this new covenant for Israel but then he's also going to apply this not just for Israel this salvation this atonement for Israel but he's going to also apply it to us but even though this book is written to the jews who are who are in christ we can also glean from this as well here's how this comforts them because he's telling them that the atonement that you receive it's not like the old atonement where you have to have it done every year year after year once was enough so let's go to Hebrews chapter 8 let's go to starting verse one you all part me for the the length of reading but I think it's important we get this now the main point and now he's summarizing everything that he said he's summarizing all that he said from the first few verses matter of fact he's really summarizing everything in this if you could ever say here's the whole point of what I'm trying to get you guys understand he had just read or just came over a controversial passage that we today take as controversial wasn't for them that there are those that were still thinking they could lose their salvation they could walk away they could fall away and he says that if you could fall away guess what guys it's impossible to get it back why because the very thing that gave you your salvation the very thing that gave you atonement won't happen again remember it's important to understand this if I atone for your sin this atonement covers what I say it's going to cover if you don't think so if you can fall away from that you can't go back to the previous atonement in other words think about it this way if in 1000 bc your sins are atoned for and then in 999 bc you want to have your sins atoned for you can't rely on the atonement from a year prior or two years prior or three years prior that's not how this system of atonement worked what would need to be what would need to happen is that you would need a new sacrifice for your current sins a new atonement that no matter what faith you have at that moment there must be something that you put your faith in some atoning work well the atoning work in the past was not beneficial for you you need something new that's the point that he's trying to get them understand that they already understand this we as Gentiles were not used to this old covenant system of atonement we're not used to how this works but his point is to them if you think that you have fallen away well then what atonement is there left for you you can't go back and claim the old atonement there needs to be a new atonement and there won't be any and since there won't be any new atonement then it would be impossible to renew you again hopefully this is this is clear or clearing up some misconceptions now we get to Hebrews chapter 8 verse 1 and he says now the main point of what has been said is this we have such a high priest who has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of majesty in the heavens a minister as he says in the sanctuary and in the true tabernacle which the lord pitched not man remember under the old everything had to be atoned for even the tent this tent however is not like one that's been made by man this is in the heaven leagues literally in heaven and so he states that for every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices so it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer so even Jesus as our high priest he has to offer something now if he were on earth he would not be a priest at all since there are those who offer the gifts according to the law who serve as a copy and the shadow of the heavenly things just as Moses was warned by God when he was about to erect the tabernacle for see he says that you make all things according to the pattern which was shown on the mountain but now he has obtained a more excellent ministry by as much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant so this Jesus is now in the place of a mediator of what a better covenant better than the one that Moses brought about he's a mediator of a better covenant he says this particular covenant which has been enacted on better promises well what are the better promises that part is important the better promises is not an if-then promise it is an unconditional continual promise not that it expires like the old it's good for a year in this case the promises are forever for if that first covenant had been faultless there would have been no occasion sought for a second for finding fault with him he says behold he says days are coming says the Lord when I will affect a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah not like the covenant which I made with their fathers on the day that I took them by the hand to leave them out of the land of Egypt he's speaking of the old covenant for they did not continue in my covenant and I did not care for them says the Lord for this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel and he's reiterating what was spoken in Jeremiah after those days I will put my loss into their minds or their hearts and I will write them on their hearts I will be their guide and they should be my people and they shall not teach everyone his fellow citizen and everyone his brother saying know the Lord for all will know me from the least of the grace of him in that time even if you are tone for your you are faithful in Israel you still needed someone to tell you about the Lord you won't need that anymore they don't need that anymore for I will be merciful to their iniquities and I will remember their sins no more this is piggybacking off of Jeremiah as well as Daniel 9 when he said a new covenant has made the first obsolete but whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear so before we go to chapter 9 you should have a good picture of what was happening and what will be happening and how Jesus is now fulfilling these requirements so in verse 6 chapter 9 now when these things have been so prepared the priests are continually notice that continually entering the outer tabernacle performing the divine worship but into the second only the high priest enters once a year not without taking blood which he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance the Holy Spirit is signifying this that the way into the holy place has not yet been disclosed while the outer tabernacle is still standing which is assembled for the present time accordingly both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make the worship perfect in kinds in other words these offerings are not going to make you in your mind feeling guilt-free your conscience is still going to be bothered by the fact that is if you are true it's still going to be bothered by the fact that you still sin that has to be dealt with he says since they relate only to food and drink and various washings and regulations for the body imposed until a time of reformation that's what he's given he's that's what he's speaking about now what Jesus is doing but when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things to come look what he says he entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands that is to say not of this creation and not through the blood of goats and calves but through his own blood and there's a reason why he's stating his own blood remember in comparison to what we said about the old covenant and and leviticus 16 and 17 says he entered the holy place once for all one time having obtained eternal redemption that's important guys he obtained eternal redemption so that he does it one time those who have been afflicted in their souls are repentant and have placed their faith in what was done for this perpetuation that was paid the redemption was eternal there's not an ongoing sacrifice need to be made there's not an ongoing repentance needs to be made it was made once everything was done once and the redemption is eternal so if you were redeemed you have been redeemed eternally that's important guys again it's necessary to understand how the atonement works whether a person understands it or not doesn't change how it works but it's beneficial to understand how it works there that way you can have some comfort some confidence you can be at ease which is what the writer of Hebrews is trying to do to these Jewish believers he says verse 13 for if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling with those who have been defiled defiled the sanctified defiled who have been defiled sanctified for the cleansing of the flesh how much more notice this how much more will the blood of Christ who through the eternal spirit offered himself without limbs to God so if the blood of bulls and goats did this not only for one year it was temporary how much more would the blood of Christ do this wouldn't be a temporary thing just like like the blood of bulls and goats this would be even better that's why it says how much more would it cleanse your conscious also going to the latter part of it would it cleanse your conscious from dead works to serve a living god you don't have to have this guilt your conscious is clear to do what to serve a living god no more worrying about lord god i'm not worthy to serve you well no we get that part but you have been cleansed you are now in right standing to serve alert which to serve the lord which is why he says in regards to your salvation he didn't say work out your salvation in other words work to get your salvation but in view of your salvation and we look at the the ordering of the word especially in the Greek in view of your salvation then work work because of your salvation so he says in verse 15 of chapter 9 for this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant so that since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed this is past transgressions that were committed their redemption has been taken has taken place under the first covenant those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance for where a covenant is there must of necessity be the death of one who made it so here's how we also can point to something else it says the person who makes the covenant there must be a death notice what it says there must be a necessity be the death of the one who made it very important to understand as well when i leave a will a covenant a testament the beneficiaries don't receive that until when until i die until there is a death why is that important well who makes this covenant god does well who has to die well and he's saying the person that made the covenant well going back to leviticus 17 chapter 11 i myself have given the blood put that on pause for a second but he stated the person that makes a covenant is his word for a covenant is valid only when i'm sorry verse 16 back to verse 16 where covenant is there must of necessity be the death of the one who made it for a covenant is valid only when men are dead for it is never enforced while the one who made it lives are you are you getting this picture we're speaking about jesus who is god who makes this covenant therefore verse 18 even the first covenant was not inaugurated without blood for when every commandment has has been made has been i'm sorry for when every commandment had been spoken by moses to all the people according to the law he took the blood of the calves and the goats with water and scarlet and wool and his and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people saying this is the blood of the new covenant which i commanded you and in the same way he sprinkled both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry with the blood and according to the law one may almost say all things are cleansed with the blood and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness so there needs to be this shedding of blood in order therefore there to be this remission or this forgiveness of sin there has to be this taking away of sin the greek word that's used here for forgiveness is the greek word aphasis which is to remove to release to forgive remission there's no longer anything left after this is forgiven there's no longer anything left after it's been released after it's been remitted there's nothing there no more payment is needed that's important understand verse 23 therefore it was necessary here's an important point it was necessary for the copies of the things in heaven to be cleansed with these but the heavenly things themselves which better sacrifice than these that is christ what he's doing for christ not enter a holy place made with hands a mere copy of the true one but into heaven itself now to appear in the presence of god for us on behalf of us he's the mediator he's the go between on the side of man on the side of god to do what to appear in the presence of god for us nor was it that he would offer himself often as the high priest enters the holy place year by year without blood that is not his own he didn't have to do that but the high priest is entering into the tent into this place with blood that doesn't belong to him someone else is paying the debt for him jesus doesn't have to do that there is no sin attached to him except the one that god puts on him on our behalf verse 26 otherwise he's making a contrast between the priests having to go every year year after year versus Jesus having to do it one time otherwise verse 26 he would have needed to suffer often since the foundation of the world but now once at the consummation of the ages he has been made he has been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself in this word for manifestation is the word reveals not that he became something it's just been revealed it's been revealed to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself so he's dealing with sin what does that mean to put away sin when we say putting away sin that means we're putting away sin just like the scapegoat never to be seen again which sin past present and future guys there you cannot miss this guys past present and future guys he's doing exactly what was done under the old covenant which sins were atoned for for that one year past present future up until the following year the problem is you have to do it every year year after year after year but you stand in right standing with him until the next time are you with me well in this case you stand in right standing with god until the next atonement well there won't be another atonement so you stand in in right standing with god forever and in as much as it is pointed for men to die once and after this becomes a judgment so christ also having been offered once to bear the sins of many will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin to those who equally awaited point of this for these users understand is that the next time that he appears is not to make another atonement there won't be another atonement needed to be made this time he's coming to pick us up this is where he says i go to prayer place if i go to prayer place i'm coming back for you so now chapter 10 he says for the law since it has only a shadow the good things that come and not the very former things can never by the same sacrifices which they offer continually year by year make perfect those who draw near understand this they couldn't make you perfect continually being offered year by year by year or wouldn't it be odd if jesus's blood or jesus's sacrifice or jesus himself would have to make the same thing have to do the same thing year after year after year after year after year no that would be that would be much of a difference it wouldn't be much of a difference for them to have to have their sins atone for every time that they fell away every time they lost their way every time that they fell out of right standing if you fall out of right standing then you would need something to atone for you to put you back in right standing but there won't be anything that will be offered to put you back in right standing why because what was offered the first time is good enough forever continuing otherwise verse two would they not have ceased to be offered because the worshippers having once been cleansed would no longer have had an occasion or consciousness to sin so if they could if it could have been done with that it would have been done if the one offering would have been enough it would have been but they weren't so we found or god gave us an offering that was good enough one time being offered that will have us redeemed eternally verse three but in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year by year in this case there should not be a reminder of your sin let me just say this there are those that will always want to remind you of your sins someone on the outside or also yourself that is not what is what is after the enemy wants you to be reminded of your sin anyone that does or says that you are literally going against what god is trying to do the whole point and purpose of christ on the cross so some outside person reminding you of your sin you did all of these things that's what the enemy is supposed to do you yourself don't be don't be your worst enemy also by by remembering or reminding yourself of all your sins did you sin yes can you learn from them yes don't do those again fine but you are not guilty anymore that's the point we'll come to that in a second for it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins they can't take away sins that's the point taking away sins sins are not taking taken away if i have to be reminded of them every year and i have to deal with them every year if i have to deal with them continually then they haven't been taken away so what can take them away to where i don't have to deal with these ever again by the way it's it's of note that also this word of faces is also as a matter of fact it's two words this is the shoes here it's affa fame which is it's the infinitive form of a faces but it's also apa which kind of adds a little extra to it and is an infinitive which means i'm kind of in the i'm in the habit of this happening this is happening this is gone i don't have to worry about or the state of i don't have to worry about these sins being taken away because they have already been taken i don't have to deal with them anymore even though i still might see and i still have these issues does not mean that they were neglected by god that he neglected to deal with those no i'll get past those i'll grow and overcome those even as people will see me struggle they'll see me overcoming those sin and then also see my good work they'll glorify god that's important but now here's more important here's a big point that i want to get to having said that it's impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins but he says therefore when he comes into the world he says that's jesus sacrifices and offerings you have not desired so all those sacrifices and offerings that's not what you're after but a body you have prepared for me why is that important because remember we have to go back to leviticus 1711 where he says that i will give you the blood on the altar and we use this we look at this term over here the Hebrew i need i i have given so i i myself have given the blood how do you give the blood since you don't have a body jesus god well this is where he comes back in and says a body you have prepared for me that is jesus in whole and burnt offerings sacrifices for sin you have taken no pleasure then i said behold i have come in the scroll of the book that is written of me to do your will what is his will now i want to drop down and look what he says verse nine then he said behold i have come to do your will he takes away the first and or to establish a second by this look what he says we by this will we have been it's important we will have been sanctified through the offering of jesus christ's body or the body of jesus christ once for all so any believer who has placed their faith in christ through this offering through this atonement you have been as he says sanctified through that offering how long how many times once how long does it last for all once for all it won't have to happen again and so matter of fact look what it says in verse 11 he says every priest stands daily ministering and offering time after time the same sacrifices which can never take away sins wait a minute didn't they take away sins at that time it's temporary so he's not talking about a temporary taking way of sin he's talking about a permanent take away taking away of sin it can never these offering can never completely fully permanently take away sins but he that's jesus having offered one sacrifice for all sins for all time and he is perfected for all time verse four those who are sanctified so we have for he perfected us even though i don't feel very perfected but in far as as far as he's concerned it has happened and there's a sanctifying process that we go through until we ultimately reach him in the fullness of him to being in his full presence but he looks at us in that way why and here's the important point guys we no longer have a debt that's over for him that's the whole point of the atonement the atonement means that there is no longer a debt oaths why use the analogy early on about the person who stole the watch and then paid me what i required gave me what i wanted then i can no longer hold that over their head in other word his debt like a person's gone to prison come out his debt is paid to society in this case our debt has been paid to god we know that for a fact because paul tells in collusion 214 having canceled out the certificate of debt this debt that we owe god consisting of decrees against us which was hostile to us what happened he has taken out of the way having nailed it that it was the it our debt to the cross the debt that was owed on our behalf to god was nailed to the cross and to make this even clear paul had to say this jesus says jesus says in john 1930 therefore when jesus had received the sour wine he said it is finished this term to tell us die is the perfect tense which is a completed action that happened in the past he's literally referring to the reason why he came he's literally referring to the plan that was enacted in leviticus 71 or that we hear about it was that actually enacted long before then but this plan is now coming to fruition to tell us die is a past action perfect tense past action it's a completed action from the past and what it really conveys is a debt that has been paid if you go back and if you can find writings from the first century even before the first century that are in greek you'll find this the stamp on any bill of sale a deed once the final payment is made you will see this to tell us die meaning that there is no longer a debt oh it has been finished it is complete that's what jesus says that's what the writer recounts and there's no longer a debt so if we understand the atonement that that is our salvation is the picture for our salvation and not really the picture for our salvation it is our salvation we have been atoned for to be in right standing how can a person who's in right standing not being right standing well there must be a debt the debt however has been paid paid in full and there will no longer be a requirement by god to say the debt that you paid is insufficient this person now on second thought has more of a debt that's owed that's not going to happen so if you understand the atonement then you'll understand salvation and you'll understand that what was done for you to you on behalf of you for the glory of god is complete and you can never lose


Hey, everybody, I'm Mike, I'm based in Berlin, where I make experimental games and interactive art installations, a lot of which use location and GPS and where you are in the world in interesting ways. So one of these, this piece called Computational Flinner that came out of my research at the MIT Media Lab, it's a generative site-specific poetry walk. So as you wander through Fort Mason in San Francisco, a poetry robot reads you neural network-generated poetry based on where you are.  You walk by the waterfront and you hear poems of the sea, that sort of thing. You can get it, it's free in the iOS app store, but that's not what I'm here to talk about. I'm here to talk about this sort of interesting problem that I found, which is, so if you've ever done anything with GPS, you might have run into this problem known as urban canyons, where GPS in cities is really inaccurate. So on paper, GPS is good to like 15 or 20 meters of accuracy in the average case. In cities, that can often go up to 100. It's really, really not good. And we'll talk about urban canyons in a few minutes, but the relevant thing here is, I did not have that problem at all. I was getting two or three meters of accuracy, which is totally unheard of, and it made my life a lot easier when trying to write the code to make this thing work. Whoa! There we go. Yeah, but it made me wonder why and what the heck was going on.  And spoiler alert, the correct question to be asking is not how does your phone know where you are. It's not even how does a computer know where you are. It's how have humans throughout history known where we are in the world. So to pick an arbitrary point to jump to, which is not the earliest time that people have known how to locate themselves, let's go to the age of exploration.  And you really need to know where you are at sea. So latitude, like how far north or south you are, that's really easy. If it's noon so the sun is where it's highest, you measure that angle, you do some pretty basic math, consult a lookup table, you know how far north or south you are. Longitude, how far east or west you are is a way harder problem. Again, totally solved problem on land. People have known about this for thousands of years, but everything that worked on land didn't work at sea. The best we had was what we called dead reckoning, which is really straightforward. You say, all right, I know where I am. I know that I'm going at this speed in this direction. I can draw a line on a map and I should be here. That doesn't work great. It is so bad. So during the war for Spanish secession in 1707, there was a single event where the British Navy lost about 2,000 soldiers. This was not a battle. This was four different ships that were communicating with each other and each had their own navigators trying to figure out where they were. And they all said, yeah, we're totally nowhere near these rocks. And then all four ships crashed into the rocks.  And there are a lot of really interesting stories there and how it took about 100 years for this poor guy to actually get his money. But that's the story for another talk. The solution was this thing called the marine chronometer, which sounds really fancy and looks really fancy. It's literally just a clock that works at sea. Again, it turns out that's really hard to make. But what's more interesting is why does that matter? So if you know where it is, if you know what time it is where you are, which again is pretty easy, you know what time it's noon. If you think about how time zones work, all that really is is the Earth rotates 360 degrees every 24 hours. That works out to about 15 degrees every hour. So if you know what time it is where you are, which is pretty easy. And if you know what time it is in another known location, say by having a clock that is the same time as Greenwich, England, you can do some pretty basic math by subtracting the times and figuring out, oh, that's how far east or west of Greenwich I am. So again, this was really hard because this actual physical clock was a problem, but this is a known solution for a long time. I think Carodidus first proposed something like this. So we're talking thousands of years, but this turns out to be super important because this idea that yes, if you want to figure out where you are, distance from a known location, that's fine, but that you can use time as a proxy for distance. That is super cool and super interesting. So let's jump forward to the 20th century. It's the mid-1950s, middle of the Cold War, Sputnik has gone up. Some MIT scientists noticed something really cool, which is the closer Sputnik was, the more radio signals they got from it. There was sort of a doppler effect thing going on. And so that isn't directly how GPS works. It's not using doppler effect or relativity or anything like that. But that meant 10 years later when people are starting to figure out, how can we use satellites or anything to use these nice new computers and help them have us figure out where we are, that led to this insight that the same way you could use time at sea to figure out where you are relative to a known point, we can use that with radio signals.  So GPS, the American system has 24 satellites, but GPS is the American system, other countries have their own. So you have a satellite that's doing nothing but broadcasting out time stamps and you have a device in your pocket that has very carefully synchronized the clocks at the same time. We know how fast that signal should travel, so if you can compare these time stamps, we can know pretty accurately how far away you are from that satellite. So if you do that for a satellite, if you assume the universe is two dimensions for now, you know you're somewhere on that circle that you can draw around that first satellite. You do that again with a second satellite. You now know you're in one of two places where those two circles intersect. And a third time, let's uniquely identify, yes, I am exactly here, give or take, whatever your accuracy is. And that's really all that GPS does. Like if you're dealing with three dimensions instead of four, you need a fourth point, or instead of three, there's some fuzziness, you can actually use the Earth as one of those spheres if you want, if you don't care about altitude. You tend to use four anyway, because there's a lot of complexity that I'm alighting over in terms of how do you actually keep these clocks in sync. But that's really all GPS is. There's not a lot to it. But so if we jump back to urban canyons and what was going on here, it starts to make sense that if GPS is based on this idea of you have a line of sight radio signal that's coming in from space and you're going to measure exactly how long that took to send, if you're in an area with a lot of skyscrapers, you don't have that line of sight. That signal is not going to come straight to your pocket. It's going to bounce off of skyscrapers. It's going to make it delayed when all four signals are delayed, the algorithm in your pocket is not going to know what to do. So that explains why computational funer was probably better than it could be. That doesn't explain why it was so good. And I don't have an exact answer for that. But I guess we can see here computational funer is in Fort Mason in San Francisco, which is that park there. I'm realizing using a laser pointer doesn't work when there are three screens. But yes, it's in San Francisco, but it's in a not particularly skyscraper heavy area. It is also right on the waterfront. So you have this beautiful line of sight to the satellites. So that solves that problem. But what's also probably going on and why it is so darn accurate is today's GPS is not the original version of GPS. There are a lot of really fancy things that are happening, whether it's using Wi-Fi and cell phone towers to give you more accurate data, whether it's using essentially caching servers to get down satellite information, whether it's having ground stations that can send hard-coded in correction data. If there's any place that's going to have a lot of these bells and whistles, San Francisco is probably going to be well equipped for it. And so I could dive into why all that is and how that stuff works, but I want to jump over one last time with my last minute or two and talk about even farther forward than GPS, which is indoor location. Because it's really cool to me about all of this is all this stuff I've described is very high level. How can we take your distance from a known location? How can we use time as a proxy for distance? How can we use radio signals as a proxy for time? And so that holds true for things that aren't satellites as well. So if you've ever touched Bluetooth low-energy beacons or Wi-Fi-based indoor positioning systems, they work exactly the same way. Instead of a satellite up in space, you have a little Bluetooth thing on the wall that your phone is reading the signal strength. It can use that to determine distance. If you have a whole bunch of them, you can try to iterate the same way you can try to iterate with satellites. And they have the exact same urban canyon problem, where instead of bouncing off of a skyscraper, if a human being walks in between you and the beacon, that's going to attenuate the signal strength to the point that your phone doesn't know what to do. And this works the other way around too, which is super cool, that more modern indoor location systems use fingerprinting and other ways of generating data to use a probabilistic model, instead of just raw signal strengths, to more intelligently figure out where you are. And so if you're asking, can you do that with GPS, like, yeah, it turns out you can. We were just published this white paper a month or two ago about how they're doing just that in order to more accurately figure out what side of the street you're on. They're doing some really out there stuff with 3D modeling, where buildings are in figuring out what satellites you can't see to try to figure out where you are. So to me, that is what's really cool, that I set out to solve this problem of, how does the GPS chip on your phone know where you are? But it turns out all of these fundamental technologies, it's relatively simple math that just keeps carrying forward and that the exact same underlying concepts that drive satellites in space can also drive beacons in your art museum can also drive sailors trying to figure out where they are a couple hundred years ago. And that's all I got. Thanks.

And if this video helps you make a smart buying decision, let your salesman know that you saw the video, that it was helpful and that Brett sent you. Back rim is in excellent shape and the back tires have just about as much tread as the front tires, frame and underbody, very nice condition as well. And it's like that all the way underneath, has all the remaining factory exhausts, cab corners and lower rockers all look really good. And very little corrosion on that frame. Coming around to the back, rear bumper is in nice shape as well. No major dents or dings, you do get the backup parking sensors, full towing package which includes a receiver hitch for pin and seven pin wiring and the tailgate is in excellent shape as well. Excuse me, blacked out four by four lettering, the gloss black Ram logo on the tailgate as well. Drop in bed liner, that's a pen to liner, that's in pretty nice shape. Tailgate shuts nice and solidly and as you go down the driver's side just as clean as that passenger side. No major dents or dings on the box. And for full disclosure, this back rim, really nice shape as well. Down the rest of this side of the truck, doors look really good. Does have the heated power mirrors. Inside the Bighorn package gives you the gray cloth interior. 40, 20, 40 split bench seating in the front. No rips or tears on the seats, they're in really nice clean condition. Power driver seat with lumbar, factory floor mats throughout, auto headlamps, audio controls in the back of the steering wheel, power windows, power locks and power mirrors.

AM, FM and Sirius XM radio capabilities on here, you can see it also has the factory navigation system, which is a nice feature to have, and you can do your climate controls here as well. This is also where your backup camera shows up. Now you can do your climate controls down here as well, and the more tactile buttons and knobs has turned out four-wheel drive factory brake controller. Stability control to hall mode and your reverse parking sensors, you can turn those off and on. Passenger side floor mat and carpeting end seat are in excellent shape, those have a 115 volt, 150 watt plug-in. No rips or tears on that seat, smells very clean inside this truck. The headliner is in really nice shape as well, and you do get map lights up here as well as the power sliding rear window button. 911 NSS buttons in the rearview mirror. We'll take a quick look at the back seats, and then we'll start it up and take a look under the hood. Back seats are just as clean as the front seats, no rips or tears back here. This has the latch child safety system for any child car seats you may have, power sliding rear window.  If you put both sides down, you've got a nice flat place. If you've got pets, they've got a nice flat place to lay. Or if you've got muddy boots or tools, put them on here, you're not going to get your seats all dirty. And you also get storage under there. You get storage on each side under the floor mat with removing good bins for easy cleaning. Put ice and drinks in there, it's like you have two mini coolers wherever you go, and you do get side curtain airbags on this truck. Child safety locks on the back doors and the bottoms of the doors all look really good. We'll start it up and take a look under the hood. Starts right up, no check engine lights or anything like that.
