welcome now we all know that we can easily you know do a search online and find live news streams such as this one from ABC and again I'm not I'm not promoting any particular news site here I'm just I just did a Google search and I grabbed the first one but let's say I want to stream the live stream using MPV that's my media player of choice it will avoid ads like this and right now I'm running incognito mode to make sure my ad blockers off so that you know you don't get stumped by this if you don't have an ad blocker but I'm gonna do here is I'm going to get a URL that I can stream with MPV so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna open up my developers console by hitting either F12 and this is in Chrome a control shift high and you should be able to do something similar in Firefox or pretty much any web browser once you do that we're gonna go to the network tab click on media and refresh this page refresh the page make sure we get all the links now media will probably not work in the case of a live stream but it's a good place to start because a lot of times if you're playing a video on a website you can get the URL for the video by clicking on the media here and then finding it there because media will limit the output here to things that are just audio and video but since we're not getting anything we're gonna click all here and again we'll refresh the page just to make sure I guess it needs a refresh rate but just be safe refresh the page and here we're getting list of all stuff what we want to do is we want to narrow it down most time you're gonna have an M3U8 file so just type in M3U and that will give you a list of files here that are playlist but right now the video hasn't started yet that was just an ad so all those M3Us were actually for this ad here we're gonna wait and once the video starts playing we'll go ahead and click this record button so that we stop this from scrolling we're gonna find the first one these pings are just to ping the server so I'm gonna go to the first one after the video loaded that isn't a ping which would be this one and if the one that you click first doesn't work try another one I'm gonna say right click to say copy copy link is address I'm gonna go to my shell take an MPV and MPV and then inside quotation marks paste that URL and hopefully that is the right to playlist it will start playing the video start stringing the video using MPV with no ads give it a second there we go it worked so that's great let's try it on another website and then I'll talk a little bit more about that we're gonna go back here and we'll go to the next website in the list which is CBS news we'll click on this it will make sure we click record down here in our developer's tab let's go ahead click that and here it's going to start loading up stuff again we're still filtering I still have M3U filter in here and again it's loading little previews here let's go ahead and clear that out by clicking this here and then click watch and then we're gonna wait and you can see it started loading up this now we got the video here I'm gonna choose the first one here so this first one probably loaded at these other ones and these probably possibly different quality copies so it's gonna try to find the best quality copy for you I'm gonna say copy this first one and I'm gonna say MPV and paste it in here and now it starts playing and I'm streaming it using MPV I'm gonna hit Q to get it and also you'll know you can see it streaming because you can see the little timer here counting up and then it just jumped up when it's buffered more of the video we'll hit Q to get out of that but in both these cases you can see that this has a unique little random string here and especially this big long one here has a lot of different information there so lots of times when you load up on the web browser it's gonna generate a link for you specifically for you that maybe linked to your IP address so even if I send this to someone right away it may not work for them if they're coming from a different IP address it may also in many cases have a timeout so if you try it ten minutes later or an hour later or a day later depending on when it expires this link will not work anymore so I can't just save this as a command or as an alias and play it and you'll type in ABC news and have it stream it in this particular way what we have to do is we have to scrape the page so let's go back to here so CBS news calm we'll grab that URL and we'll do is I'll do W get and I'll give it that URL and I'm gonna say dash Q for quiet so it doesn't give us like the download percentage and whatnot I'm gonna do dash capital O and a dash that means pipe the standard output we're gonna do that and we get the HTML from the page next one is I'm gonna grep for M3 you and that will give us good we got some M3 you files there real quick there's different ways you can you know parse through this what I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna say TR which will change characters from one thing to another one is gonna change all quotation marks to new line characters boom that puts everything every quotation mark it starts a new line and then at this point instead of grepping M3 you here I'm just gonna move that here so I don't end up grepping it twice because that would just be counterproductive so I'm gonna grep for all I have M3 you now and we have four of them so I'm gonna do right now just to test them out because I don't know if all of these work or if one of them works or some of them work well I'm gonna do is I'm gonna say copy link address and I'm gonna say MPV I'm gonna paste in that first one I just copied and play it and you can see that's a very standard URL there were there's no special information in there and there you go you can see that we're streaming they're away right now you know playing commercials on the live TV and I guess this is what they do on their live stream so they'll be right back but it is streaming so I'm gonna do is I'm going to quit out of that and so you could very easily in this particular case we will do a W get I'm gonna tell you it's not always gonna be that easy because a lot of times this stuff loads with multiple different JavaScript files blah blah blah and you're gonna want to use something like Phantom JS is what I would normally use for something that but in this particular case of CBS news I was able to W get it and again I could take that and this W get command and I can put it in like this and I can say MPV which is now going to go to that website grab the MP3 or oh I want to add in so let me back up a second so this gives us four different URLs I can say head dash and one which would just give us the first then I can take that put it inside dollar sign parentheses and quotations and then I can say MPV and it will play that file and I should be able to save that as a command and then whenever I want that I can run that and it will should grab that M3 you and play that file I'm hoping that this is the proper one and this isn't just like a little thing to distract you it says we'll be right back I'm assuming in a couple minutes it will start being the live news again so we can actually come back to check that in a couple minutes if I don't forget so yeah so I should have you on the web browser but if you want on it in some cases it's that simple other cases it's not but you should always be able to find something in most cases in the web browser just by filtering here for M3 you and then grabbing again this first one here probably has information for all these other ones this is master six master one master two and I'm betting that these are different quality copies so if I was to right-click this I can say copy copy link and if I say MPV I can paste this in here and it's doing it but it's doing it at a lower quality where the first one gave us the best quality for that particular one so it looks like they're getting back so we'll come back to CBS in a minute to make sure that that W get command actually worked like I think it did let's go ahead and look at one other website real quick though we'll come here and we will go down so we did ABC news CBS news and let's do this MB to NBC dash to that's my local NBC news we'll click on that and here it's loading up and why are all these videos disgusting looking things on people's skin okay let's close that ad so we're not seeing any MP3s here or M3 use here let's go ahead and clear out that filter so we're seeing everything and we can see some of the video playback but I want to point out that's very simple if you look here you can see that this is a YouTube video so of course you can just click on this it brings up the YouTube URL and then if you have YouTube dash DL installed MPV will use that and I can just give it oh that's not the right MPV let's copy this so I can give MPV a YouTube URL as long as I have YouTube dash DL installed and it will automatically start streaming it so there we go now we're streaming and that was super simple and that URL should always work because that's their YouTube livestream unless their livestream URL changes but you should easily be able to grab that from the website so if a website if a local news channel especially using YouTube it makes it super duper simple to grab something like that just by using MPV as long as you have YouTube DL installed so there's that now real quick let's go back to this command here and see if we start streaming the loot news properly here there okay so just double checking that command works so things to think about it's very easy to get a stream file again most time they are m3u files so if you go to a website that streams make sure you could play again this is going to play a commercial because there's no ad block in place seems like it plays the same commercial every time it's for their app but once the video starts going you just have to find the right m3u file and it's probably going to be one of the first one loads up when the video starts anyone after that is actually going to be one of the first one loads so again I will stop that recording and right after these pings here I'm going to grab this first one and let's say copy copy the interest now not every media player can play playlist files like that but MPV is very good about that so again I can just paste that in there and it should once it takes buffering which this channel seems like it takes a little bit of buffering but again that URL will probably change really you can tell if it's a big complicated URL like that it probably has was generated specifically for you on your machine at this time so if you're doing it a different time on a different network from a different IP address it may not work that's why you need to scrape it and get the m3u file by scraping the site which will go more into scraping in future videos or you can watch some of my videos I've already done on it PhantomJS probably be a good one sometimes it's very easy use WGet as we did with the CBS channel but then again if they're using YouTube there's already tools out there the YouTube DL and MPV works with that to stream so there are three different examples of different ways to stream live videos from I use news as an example but I'm sure there's other channels that might stream live sport sporting events stuff like that just usually that stuff's behind a paywall which gets a little more complicated and I didn't want to you know we're not getting into logging into websites to stream stuff we're just using and then there's also DRM sometimes on sites but here are some examples of common news channels that we were very easily able to stream from anyway I hope you enjoy this

Best thing about being six foot ten and a school teacher is Kid at the back of the classroom on their phones smiling at their crotch. I can see it and be like, hey Don't do that


Vietnam and possibly the Philippines will be banning the new Barbie movie from being shown in theaters nationwide For a reason David that a lot of Americans definitely don't understand Yeah, we got to talk about it because this is going viral on some platforms, right? We're talking about something Andrew originally silly the Barbie movie, but it went geopolitical which is serious Oh, so long story short Andrew There was a snapshot from the trailer of the new Barbie movie where I think Barbie is like trying to map out the real World because she's trying to teleport from the Barbie world to earth So she's like mapping out earth in her mind. Yeah, so there's a line She tried to she tries to draw Asia from her memory and there's a little bit of like a journey hash mark But a lot of people thought that that was actually representing China's nine dash mark Which is their claim to the South China Sea which is disputed waters And that is what caused Vietnam and the Philippines to think about banning the movie all together, right? So because of a little Dashmark in the corner of a screenshot on the back of a cartoon like map Vietnam got mad about it and then now it's a controversy and people are talking about now Let's talk about it because I think there's different sides of this story. Yeah, we are not gonna get political guys I did not even know about this issue. I absolutely support Vietnam banning this movie I think that that's the best thing that it can do to push its side of the story Yeah, exactly now people are talking about and I had a researcher, but anyways guys We're gonna get into the comment section. Please hit that like button check out other episodes of the hot pot boys David we're talking about Barbie Margot Robbie Americans do not really understand geopolitics very well, right? Generally the Americans and I mean Americans and all Americans we just care about who's the enemy of America, right? Because we we're against them and just whatever's happening within American borders typically right whatever is happening in English Maybe the UK a little bit But you know for the most part Andrew most of the things people were sending me on IG were so frivolous They were discussing whether Margot Robbie or Ryan Gosling have aged out in our washed-ass sex symbols This is talking about the dispute over territory and potentially life-changing resources at the bottom of the South China Sea You know Warner Brothers did release a response. It was like, you know that map was not meant to be a statement It was a childlike drawing from Barbie's stupid blonde mind But there was just like yeah Barbie is an idiot in the movie guys, so she doesn't know what she's drawing So I guess that was our bad But and then there's also people pointing out that the dash marks are it's only eight dash marks And it's not nine dash marks, which is the nine dash line, which is the very political one But it could have just been a path over a map and right actually the Philippines came out and said Okay guys, we're going to let the movie in but you guys better blur the map part Because you know the Philippines they're like we really like Barbie we We do like the movie And let's get into the comment section and then of course our own takeaways Somebody said man, it's one of two things man Warner Brothers is bowing to the possible For the possible revenue streams from the Chinese market or the person who made the prop has pro China leanings In fact, I know the guy who drew the map his name was Drew Wong Who's that because he drew wrong Yeah Pretty funny. Um, what do you think how much of this? Do you think was just the pure capitalism because this was like most of the discussions whether we're talking about Yahoo news Instagram? A lot of people were like well China's like literally well, I don't know like 15 16 times bigger possibly 20 X bigger than Vietnam So they don't want to miss out on the second biggest global theater market in the world and potentially Andrew if you project into the future China might become the number one theater market in the world. Yeah, I get the whole economic play when people are like Oh, well, they would sacrifice the Vietnamese theater movie going market for the Chinese one if they had to pick one of the two But I'm saying really if you think about it None of this had to happen if they just showed a different part of the map Unless Barbie in the movie is literally being like hey guys look at this area. It's owned by China This little island here called Taiwan. It's also China, right? I don't know much about the real world outside of the Barbie world Yeah, but I know who the South China seas belong to And never forget I'm gonna go visit my friend Xi Jinping. I'm just like guys You just didn't even have to put that part of the map So that's why I think Warner Brothers made a mistake now Now giving up if the Vietnamese, you know, Vietnam has to ban Barbie I think that the Barbie movie can still be successful obviously the Philippines is a large market China's a large market now Does this make I have a question Do you think it makes the Chinese like regulators more excited about the Barbie movie and they're like, oh, yeah, like America Barbie the blonde Barbie is standing up for Chinese territory Yeah, we all gave you guys a little bit more CCTV push because we like the way you drew Barbie drew the map from her mind If that is true, I guess but I just don't think I think Warner Brothers I honestly think Warner Brothers like made a mistake. I think so. Yeah, I'm sure if they could erase those eight lines They totally just erase the eight lines and the map doesn't even look like a real map. It's just Anyways, somebody said I'm still watching it coming from a Vietnamese American. You guys can't make me care about this Listen, I'm not saying you guys don't have the right to care about it But I also have the right to not care about this and then a girl from Vietnam said yeah Because you're a white boss and you have no compassion for your own country SMH and this turned into a thread of like 50 things going back and forth I think just from a macro perspective because I don't want to comment on this because I'm not Vietnamese this specific aspect of it How much should second-generation kids care about what's going on in the motherland? I mean, I think we We we care a little bit more than obviously the average American that is not Asian right now I know I get it that we are American. I am my passports American I probably plan on living most of the rest of my life right at least 95% of the time I have no plans to move to China right now like move my life to China, right? So I guess I It's hard for me to care because like I This is not even an issue that I really knew that much about right We had to do a bunch of research to even understand what was going on I know that China always wants its territory. I know that people are always disputing it I get it that makes sense, you know, but it's also like I have no say in this I don't know like yes I believe in Vietnam's right to make this a bigger issue to ban Barbie so that the international community is talking about it now Now I'm more informed now. Everybody's more informed. All right, but again, we also are now I'm also not in the business to to Villainize every single thing that China does ever either, you know, so I'm just like I guys I don't know. It's like I just wish Warner Brothers just didn't do that. Yeah It's just like it's kind of silly that a screenshot of a Barbie map is Being geopoliticized not just politicized Welcome to 2023 and I actually think it's really interesting that some of the more Nationalistic or patriotic members of our motherland are starting to get so good at English We can argue with them, right? You know how previously when we were growing up there's no way you're arguing with the fog because you it would have to be in language and there just wasn't that line of Communication I mean, I'm sure like I've seen reddit posts about us or whatever I'm sure a lot of those people are maybe born in Asia raised elsewhere, but like yeah, like seriously. I I Don't know David. Do you well as because as English becomes more of a total globe lingua franca It is really interesting. Do you like do you how much can someone care? Man, I think everybody's different at a baseline. I do not think you can expect second-generation Asian Americans Do I think we should probably do more research at least of the food of the country that we come from for sure? I think we should but I don't think there's any baseline default requirement Pre-requisite to like how much of geopolitics you have to understand I think it helps so if you want to be like a bridge or or speak on it for sure if you want to be a subject matter expert You got to be an expert. Um, somebody says man It's just all about capitalism and somebody said, yeah, if it's all about capitalism It's just more evidence of China Insinuating its influence on American life and culture which needs to come to an immediate end What what do we think about this because a lot of people are saying that the geopolitical politicians in America, right?  But this is how the companies make money. So it's a global marketplace. It's also free market It also means that anything you do is going to be judged in the global free market It's like when Jocelyn Chia the comedian made a joke about Malaysia at a New York comedy club and That sparked backlash from the Malaysian police in Malaysia. So I'm saying you saying that was so 2023, right? It's just that anything that gets posted Is gonna be scrutinized under the lens of a global geo politicized lens So people are gonna get banned from countries that they even will not even be visiting. You know what I mean? just like Why what else would we be talking about Barbie getting banned in Vietnam for a screenshot of a map and this is why also I don't like to put like a lot of maps and Flags in our thumbnails when we talk about Asia just because it's so politicized because there's so many feelings behind flags Because the flag can represent a different party or a different era, right then what people want somebody said I can't believe nobody at Warner Brothers thought about this. Does the West really just know that little about Asia? Do you think that's true Andrew like a lot of people even though they're gonna sell the movie internationally? Obviously like we said a lot of Americans We simply do not know or pay heavy attention to what's going on serious or unserious outside of American orders So it's like these mistakes are gonna pop up more and more, right? Yeah I think they they definitely needed a consultant somebody whose job it is to look for sensitive material I know that initially most people would never think that drawing little dash marks on a map Or maybe they drew them and then even there was a consultant that was like, yeah But that's like eight dash marks and you know nine is the one you want to stay away. So you're good It's not too cow-tunny, you know, I thought it you're good money Though that person lost right, you know the same thing happened on the live-action Mulan, right Andrew There was a Chinese consultant, but that okayed everything But when the movie got exported to China, they're like wait Why does Mulan like live in Beijing or like Shaanxi, but then she's living in a southern Chinese like Haka like Circle house and stuff like that. Yeah I think that it's kind of weird that when you make a movie and you expect it to be for the Chinese market You almost have to know more now and that's what it is You have to learn more about China to be honest and that's just the marketplace. That's literally capitalism That's literally the system that everybody in America loves. So guess what guys this capitalistic system It just went global. So that's what it is Yeah, it's very fascinating and obviously I hope that everybody in Asia can get along Andrew But you know, it's unlikely and guess what Andrew me and you have no influence on it whatsoever no matter what we say in this video it has zero impact, but I am glad I'm not mad that Vietnam like made their issue a thing because now people know about it But unfortunately that will hit the pockets of the Barbie movie a little bit, you know and the Barbie movie I will say this objectively Not telling you know, I'm not promoting. I'm just saying it does look well written Right, okay that if I was gonna consume any Barbie material in my life, it would be that movie. Yeah Anyway guys, let us know what you think in the comment section below. I think there's silly aspects about this I think there's really serious aspects about this I think everybody's entitled to take it out. They want it because their closeness to this issue is like highly variable Especially here in North America. Let us know what you think in the comment section below keep it civil and until next time We out peace

Kanabushi Chris here from Sonny's Stone in Las Vegas. Today we're going to film a video for DynaVap devices. We're actually going to be using the AVB or OrdiVabe Bud that comes from your DynaVap device. Well let's get to it. Thank you so much for watching guys. Thank you to DynaVap.

Hello and welcome. I hope that you've watched the previous videos And we're just going over some semi real-world scenarios with our scripting and we've generated some fake data with some fake numbers and names And we've calculated out some pension returns. So if I say Get monthly it's going to calculate based on the spreadsheet We have that we've created with fake numbers and names People's names their yearly retirement salary and their monthly retirement salary again These are some pretty high numbers now Why would you do this again as I mentioned last one you could have Calculations done like this in a spreadsheet truth is though I get a spreadsheet like this each year and it doesn't do the math for me So it's easier for me to write a script that looks at this and pulls all the information So that I can do that also you can run this on a server and you can generate either server-side output and pure HTML or You can create something like a CSV file or JavaScript file or dump it into a database at which point you can pull with different applications and interfaces and today what we're going to do is we're going to generate some Static HTML based on this information Which is not the way I would do it as a server-side script again I would output properly format stuff as a CSV or JSON which we'll look at But I just want to show you this as an option because if you can code in any language If you can do a print hello world or echo hello world to the screen you can write server-side scripts so Here we're going to generate some HTML again go to gitlab.com forward slash my likes 1,000 search for my project called documents dash tutorials download that and that's what we're working in the folder called yearly salaries and I'm not going to review everything this time around But here are the list of scripts that we have and today we're going to be looking at This one generate HTML. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to say let's go ahead and look at that code real fast I'll say gen gen HTML and Here make us a little smaller Again, this is not the way I would do it, but this is a way that can do it. We're saying that we're creating HTML That's just output for the user then we're going to dump into that file some of our header HTML stuff All the way down to the body they're going to create some rows and that's where we're going to use our CSV file We're going to basically use our previous script But I'll put it so that it goes into some div tags So it's formatted a little bit nicer add that to the salary HTML that we're creating and then add the finishing HTML tags so pretty basic and straightforward I'm not going to go over this line by line because it's almost it's 99% what we did in the last tutorial besides Dumping the stuff into variables and then echoing it out to some div tags Let's go ahead and then at the very last line this code opens up the HTML just to make things easier for you guys But you wouldn't have that last line if you're running this on a server But when someone would run this it would generate that from the CSV so you can update the CSV and as soon as someone visits the page boom it would regenerate it Without you know and statically post it for you. So let's go ahead and run that Gen HTML here and you can see that it created some fairly readable HTML very basic obviously could be a lot nicer but you know That's what it was supposed to do and you can format any way you want again You can use CSV HTML to make this look however you want and you throw it on a server and anyone can you know Click on that link and it would automatically generate this and then all you have to do anytime you get a new CSV file for the next year you replace the old one and Boom this automatically updates. You don't have to make any changes as long as the formatting of the spreadsheet doesn't change so that's one option but another option would be to Take the CSV file and then have some Your your client side pull that information and format it and I made a basic example for you guys here So again, I'll list out these files and we have this JavaScript dot HTML which we can open open dots or sorry I Have an alias of open which alias is open XDG open, but I want to Type this properly so you guys don't get confused We'll go ahead and open that and nothing's going to display because we haven't generated the server-side data Which normally you put in a database in some cases, but this we're just going to generate a basic CSV file so we have a CSV file that has the salaries, but we don't have a CSV file that has the retirement Income that's what this script does. So let's go ahead and cap this out and again. It's basically the same that we did in the last tutorial but here we're echoing out and we're using the pipe character as No, no. Yeah Let's see. I forget what I have it do Let's say Java Or sorry This one's called monthly to CSV. It's going to generate that and now we can cat out JS dot CSV. Yeah, so basically we're gonna have a CSV file Which is not necessarily the best option Json will be nicer But I've shown in previous tutorials how to generate Json from a CSV file But we'll have the name and then we'll have the yearly retirement income and the monthly retirement income And then we can have the client to pull that and this is my preferred way of doing that now that we've generated that I can refresh this page And of course it's not gonna work because it's trying to pull information from a file on your computer and Web browsers try to protect you from not allowing that happen So you actually have to run this on a web server for this to work So let's go ahead and I already have it in a web folder directory. So it's going to be under localhosts know x1000 Documents dash tutorials yearly salaries JavaScript HTML and there we go And I format this a little bit different than I did the static HTML But here each one's in its own little bootstrap card and we have their name their yearly income and their That's not right Something's not right. We did something wrong Let's go ahead and see if we can figure out Why that's happening and these numbers look right. Let's scroll all the way to the bottom We got an undefined because it's grabbing a blink line at the end Let's look at our code and see what we're doing. So Control you so I am here. I am grabbing the CSV file. I'm splitting it by each line I'm saying to loop through that new array that we just created when we split the lines We put into think all people each person's gonna be split by Of the pipe symbol the first field is going to be the name The second field is going to be the yearly income monthly income and then here we're putting that in there Everything looks right Let's go ahead and open this up Network and refresh the page. I did not realize this one. I tested it before the video that Things were not adding up. Oh, oh, it's not supposed to be salaries. I'm grabbing the wrong CSV files. Let's go ahead and fix that. So JavaScript HTML It's not salaries that we're grabbing. I believe it's JS CSV, let's go ahead and refresh that. There we go. Those numbers look more correct So there you go. So again, it's a little different We don't have a server side script generating the data real time We have a script that we ran that dumped it to a CSV file but in real reality you would have something that outputs that just like this and It then the server side the client side dang this again. We probably have Like line that's because there's a new line character at the end of the file So a quick way to fix that would be to go into our JavaScript and we could put in a thing that says We're gonna add a if then statement here and we'll say We'll actually do it down here I'll just add it here. You can put it wherever you feel most appropriate but I'm gonna say if name Is blank I think should work Like the space like that Then print the output. Otherwise it won't let's go ahead and refresh this and that's not right at all So if name equals I'm saying if name is blank print it. I want to say if name is not like print it. There we go And That won't have that undefined at the end again That was just because there's a new line character at the bottom of the CSV file. So it's reading a blank line It's like there's no information here, but that's just another way to do it Obviously, you would format it however you feel looks nice. This is I just did this real quick and created these little cards You colorizing difference different fonts, whatever, you know, that's up to you But I want to show you that as an option So again as far as outputting information to something outside of the shell you want to create GUI information Interface I always like HTML because I like anything. It's plain text plus everybody has a web browser on the machine already the one option again is the static HTML which I Was about to say doesn't use any JavaScript, but it actually does because I I didn't write a JavaScript in it So if we were to look at our Salaries dot HTML file that we generated Let's go ahead and just remove This and this and this that's going to give us errors most likely. Let's go ahead and go back to Actually, we'll just go here and we'll go Salaries HTML. No, that seems to have worked and the errors in the console No, no errors. So My template that I use for making HTML has bootstrap and stuff in it But we didn't use any of that JavaScript So this text so if someone's using a browser that doesn't support JavaScript or they block JavaScript This server side option would be an option, but I think it's very sloppy I much prefer just to pass a CSV file or a JSON file to JavaScript and have the client side generate it It also makes it a lot easier. Let's say I was a user And not that file this file and look at this and I go, oh this information is great But I don't like how it looks I can easily write a plug-in for my browser or even just Look here and go. Okay. Refresh this and go to network. What's it grabbing? Oh, it's grabbing a CSV file I can ignore the rest of this and I can just I can grep this myself if it's running on a server or sorry W get this myself and Forget all the other stuff and for me That's one of the reasons. I love web interfaces that don't try to block it from doing stuff like that it I Might not like what you have and there's lots of websites that are like that I need the information, but I don't like how they format it I can just scrape the stuff myself and if they do it good like this, you don't even need to scrape But this is very easy. I just can copy this URL and I can say W get and Say Output to the shell give it that and there we go. I have the information. The rest doesn't matter to me It to me. That's a great thing. Anyway now. I'm just battling. I thank you for watching Hope I didn't lose you towards the end of this that we did a lot of stuff But people ask for real-world scenarios and real-world scenarios Are tends to be more than just one or two commands You tend to have to do a number of steps to do what you want to accomplish But I hope you saw how this works the concept and you found it useful If you have any questions be sure to comment below and as always I hope that you have a great day


Welcome back to the session on Letic. In session 36, we created our first presentation in Beamer and explored the different themes and color themes which we can use to style the presentation slides. Each slide is denoted by a frame and so to create a slide, we write slash begin frame and slash end frame. In session 37, we added some basic blocks, alert block and example block, each of which has different styles. We finally divided the content on the slides into multiple columns. Session 38 was exciting in which we added some effects of animation in our slides using the commands like pause, onslide, etcetera. In session 39, we added some basic information and logo to our slides. Session 40 is one of my favorites. Using the commands covered in it, one can design beautiful presentations with which one can easily fall in love with. In the last session of the topic, we understood the concept of aspect ratio and how we can change it. This brings us to the end of the course and we hope that you enjoyed it. We also hope that you can now concentrate more on the subject rather than the formatting, especially while submitting your papers to conferences. It was indeed a pleasure in interacting with you on the discussion forum. We at IT Bombay, thank you for participation and efforts.

like had never lived in and it was way over pressed anyway everything about it was just not good


Did I hear someone in that prior panel say, if you're against toxic maximalism, you were against Bitcoin and you're against freedom?  We got him warmed up. Few figures in the Bitcoin community are as controversial and visionary as Eric Voorhees, founder and CEO of the Cryptocurrency Exchange, ShapeShift. He drew cheers and occasional booze at Bitcoin 2021, the recent Blockbuster Conference in Miami. Back when Cryptocurrency was in its infancy, Voorhees was helping to popularize Bitcoin's unique attributes with an unregulated online casino called Satoshi Dice. After he sold, Voorhees was investigated by the SEC and paid a $50,000 fine, observing that the investigators didn't even seem to understand Bitcoin. As much as I hated government before, he recalled, then I was like, man, this is what these people do, go around ruining innocent people's lives. Unlike Bitcoin maximalists who insist that Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency with any viable future, Voorhees maintains that other coins do serve a purpose. I love seeing all the crypto projects coming together with with the financial institutions. I think some people in crypto don't like that, but I see crypto taking over the world and that doesn't happen without bringing basically everyone into the tent. In 2017, as fees on the network were climbing, he controversially backed an unsuccessful attempt to scale up Bitcoin's ability to process transactions, which critics said would have weakened the network security and decentralized structure. At the Bitcoin 2021 conference in Miami, Voorhees talked to reason about the immense growth, not just in the market caps of cryptocurrencies, but in their economic and cultural legitimacy, the ways in which they challenge central banks and political power and why he believes in multiple coins and continuing innovation in digital currency. Eric Voorhees, thanks for talking to reason. Yeah, thanks for having me on. So we're at Bitcoin 2021 in Miami. There is something like 12,000 people here celebrating the Bitcoin-ness of Bitcoin. You were a very early adopter, evangelist player in the space. How do you feel about that when you look back a decade or so ago, where Bitcoin was at, and now this kind of massive conference coming up? Yeah, well, I have two thoughts, I think. The first is that I'm really happy to see it growing. You know, the whole purpose of it was to change the whole financial system of the planet. So you don't do that without it becoming big at some point. So that's great. There's like most of the people here I don't recognize. So it's a sign that the whole industry is growing. But there's also, you can just tell that there's still a lot of people that are in it for very superficial reasons. What are the superficial reasons? Well, a lot of money is made in Bitcoin. And especially during the rally cycle period, you have a lot of people that make a bunch of money and they like it for that reason and that's it. And many of them ultimately learn why it's important and how it works. But there's always this superficial veneer of people that are in it for, I would say, not the right reasons. So there's a lot of that. But that's to be expected. I mean, it's kind of the same people that might have been in hard money in the early 70s or something when it became legal to own gold again. That same mentality. Were people making a lot of money? Well, some people, the people charging transaction fees, I assume are. Yeah, yeah, perhaps. What is, so what is, I mean, and obviously you're not against making money. But when you say people come in because there's a lot of money to be made, what's wrong with that? Or what are they misunderstanding about Bitcoin? Yeah, there's nothing wrong with making money. If you're being honest about it. But what they're missing is why Bitcoin is rising, the price or the ecosystem generally. Why is that happening? And that's because it's the best form of money that has ever been created. And why is that true? And how does that, how is it differentiated from fiat currency? Why does humanity need it? Like these very existential questions are obviously much more important than the price. So the price often attracts people in and that's fine. But they need to look deeper and start understanding what's important about it. What are some of the markers for, you know, that, that, that the planet is kind of getting to understand that, you know, that this, it's, it's not about, you know, a speculative run up that where you can cash out and make a lot of money, but rather it's a change in the way money or all currency might be done. How do we know we're getting closer to that? I think just the, the diversity of people that are interested in it now. So 10 years ago when I got interested in it, it was a bunch of cryptographers who are really into the science of it and then a bunch of very radical libertarians.  And so now there are people from all over the world, all different backgrounds, all different political persuasions, people that are interested in it for different reasons. Crypto broadly has expanded beyond money. So there are people that are in it for, for the artwork and, you know, the music and the NFTs and all that kind of stuff that's happening. So it's just becoming a much more diverse community. I think that's really healthy. Do you remember where you were when you first, you know, kind of encountered Bitcoin? Yeah, I was sitting in a loft in our small apartment in Portsmouth, New Hampshire and saw a Facebook post from a friend. I was in the Free State Projects back then. So a friend in the Free State Project posted about it. And I read the article. I was very dismissive of it.  I read another article, another article. And then like within 30 minutes, I was pretty hooked. So that was, that was May 8th of 2011. Yeah. What drew you to the Free State Project? And is there, is there a, what's the connection between kind of the Free State Project and Bitcoin, if there is one? Yeah. So I joined the Free State Project before it heard of Bitcoin and it is essentially a goal of moving a bunch of fairly radical libertarians to one small geographic area, so that there would be an outsized influence on the political environment. And I felt that that was the best thing I had seen to cause a change toward liberty in a way that I could actually contribute to. And while I was there and I learned about Bitcoin, I realized Bitcoin was just so much more powerful because it doesn't require voting. It's not about a small geographic area. It's about the entire world and it just seemed like the most profound technology I'd ever seen. So that kind of whisked me away into that whole world. But the, the spirit is a similar one. Yeah. You're in Denver now. Do you, why did you leave the Free State Project? So I left New Hampshire to move down to New York City to join Charlie Shrem at Biddleston. So that was one of the first Bitcoin companies. I was down in Brooklyn for eight months. You were a pretty vocal multicoyner. A lot of people are into blockchain or crypto, but obviously Bitcoin are, no, you know, Bitcoin is the thing. Like why, you know, this would be like a gold bug playing with silver and other valuable metals. What's the case for having multiple coins or multi-coin? So I used to not be that. I used to be very much a maximalist, meaning I thought only Bitcoin should exist. Everything else was a waste of time at best. And my views on that changed when I realized both that a lot of these assets were not trying to just be different cryptocurrencies, they were trying to be materially different assets that did different things. And also that part of the decentralization of Bitcoin is improved when you have multiple assets. So if you are an advocate of decentralization, but you only want there to be one blockchain, that is a little bit hypocritical, counterproductive. So part of the part of the decentralization of Bitcoin, I think, happens with these other assets. What is what's a good example of a non-Bitcoin that is, you know, providing something distinct from Bitcoin in terms of whatever. So an easy one are like the privacy coins. So Bitcoin in the early days, people talked about it being anonymous. It's obviously not. It's highly trackable, highly transparent. And many people still believe that anonymity is important and that people have a right to privacy in finances. And so people have built cryptocurrencies that are very private, that are actually cryptographically anonymous. And that's that's great. So that use case exists and people should have the ability to use those things. Bitcoin did not have to change its whole code base to offer it. So now people have both. And I think that's that's a richer environment than if there was just one thing trying to meet everyone's needs. Do you worry, you know, that a lot of the other coins and other tokens and things like that, you know, some of them rise and fall or disappear or scams. What's the best way of kind of policing that is it? I doubt it's a regulatory regime you would push, but is it mostly end users being wiser or how do you how do you maintain a kind of clear system? Yeah, a good analogy is is the dot com world in the late 90s. And you had all these companies forming, they added dot com to their name and suddenly they're worth a billion dollars. And obviously, a lot of it was garbage. Some of it was scams, but a lot of it just didn't work out. There wasn't a regulator needed to weed that out. The market is the regulator, the market weeds out unuseful things over time. So even though it's a noisy and chaotic industry, I would not want some regulator to come in and pick and choose which of these things are appropriate currencies for people to have, because if that regulator existed, they would have told people to just stick with dollars and Bitcoin itself would never have been created.  And, you know, that was clearly wrong. And the things that were of value, which often, you know, took real dives, but they persisted. Whereas the more ephemeral things just disappeared without anybody really caring. But the political and kind of social and to some degree, economic dislocation caused by that kind of bubble and burst. And this is not one that was created by the government, really, you know, unlike the housing crisis, this was a speculative bubble because a new technology had created a kind of land rush. Do you worry that that kind of bubbling up and then the crash actually creates the conditions for a massive kind of political overreaction into a regulatory state? Or how do you how do you hedge against that? Unfortunately, most things seem to cause an overreaction from politicians. They tend to want to fix everything and everything they try to fix, they break. So I don't think the bubble is unique in that regard. Certainly, Bitcoin and the crypto industry have gone through a few of these bubbles. And each time they pop and there's a bear market, a bunch of people have that same kind of dismissive attitude that this is evidence that the whole thing was not legitimate. And I guess it's just that people don't understand how markets work, that this process of creative destruction is really important. It's an iterative process. And nobody knows which of these technologies are going to be the future. So it's a messy process of trial and error. And we need to just need to let that play out. Do you think people are becoming more impossibly broad question? But do you think people are becoming more comfortable with that kind of fluctuation or volatility or mix or are people be shrinking away from that? If they've gone through it before, they're more comfortable with it. The new the new group, you know, every year, a new cohort of people enter the space. And when they go through their first bubble, they get carried away just as the prior bubble did. You know, it's very emblematic of the human condition that you get pulled into speculative bubbles. And until you've gone through that a few times, it's hard to it's hard to perceive it. Back in the day, you were part of the conversation about Segwit and about changing the block size and the ability of, you know, the number of transactions that could be completed at a certain time. You were dragged for that because you you were an advocate of expanding the block size. It didn't happen. But transaction capacity kind of grew. Fees have changed. Where are you on all of that now? It's a nuanced topic. And unfortunately, it has often been framed as people who wanted no block size limit and people who wanted the status quo. And it was much more of a rich conversation than that. I was always somewhat pragmatic about it. You know, I certainly didn't think that the block size should just be expanded forever. Like that has obvious problems. But I also didn't think that moving the block size from one megabyte to two megabytes would destroy Bitcoin. Like, I was not so insecure about Bitcoin as to think that that would somehow invalidate it. And there was a long debate about this, you know, a couple of two, three, four years. And it got worse and worse to the point where important upgrades like Segwit, which Bitcoin really needed for other reasons, but also provided additional capacity, were getting blocked because there was just no agreement on how to move forward. So in 2017, there were a number of us that basically tried to bring these these mining interests who wanted larger blocks and the Segwit community who wanted Segwit together and figure out a way to, like, have both these things happen so that Bitcoin could move forward and not just be stuck in the same debate forever. So that all went poorly. It was an interesting lesson in how a community organizes and governs itself. And ultimately, Bitcoin adopted Segwit, which is great. It ultimately did not adopt a larger base block size, which is OK. And it moved forward. So like it got through that period and now it's behind us. So ultimately, I think the people that really wanted, you know, purely larger blocks can go into other coins now. And this is part of the diversity of this technology is that people can express their preferences and use whatever technology suits them. You know, it's an interesting question with a distributed technology instead of participants of market. How do you reach consensus in for shape, shift your company at a certain point you went from being a company that prided itself on not really needing to know anything about the customers or the people coming together to transact to putting in and know your customer rule. Can you talk about that experience and what were the lessons that you learned from that? Yeah. So as mentioned, I've always believed that people have a default right to privacy. If someone is not even accused of a crime, they should have a default right to privacy. That is an increasingly rare and shocking statement. But I know for thank you for very few people will even say that. And I don't know why it doesn't seem like that extreme of a position. People believe that they should have privacy in their homes and that like curtains are not illegal and locks on your doors are not illegal and no one would look at you weird if you advocated for those things. But if you advocate for privacy and finance somehow that are you. Well it's a yeah and that would be the same argument against the curtains right you want curtains on your window why what are you doing in there what are you doing that needs to be hidden from view and that's a really dangerous road to go down. You shouldn't have to answer what you're hiding in order to be an advocate of privacy. So I've always been an advocate of that and when shapeshift started we did not require anyone to provide an ID for the service. So it's a quick and easy way to convert one digital asset into another. Our legal opinion at the time was that we didn't need to do that because we weren't handling actual currency like money of a government and we weren't taking deposits and in 2018 we had done a lot further analysis and we came to the conclusion that we were probably going to be treated like a financial institution and thus would have to start acting like a bank and thus would have to violate privacy of our users and impose KYC on them stands for know your customer and take their their ID and all this all this stuff that none of the customers wanted and we didn't want and I had an ethical aversion to but we did it you know essentially underdress we thought regulators would come after us and that was a scary time. So we implemented KYC customers hated it we lost you in like 99% of our business like absolute evisceration of the entire model that we had built because all this customers just went with other other competitors that weren't doing that you know and that weren't as scared of us regulators so that was a hard time we've turned us around such that we do not anymore provide regulated services so we've integrated decentralized protocols now so when someone does a trade on shapeshift it's happening through a decentralized protocol and that means we're not an intermediary it means that we are not a financial institution and it means we do not any longer need to have KYC so we've actually been able to get back to a position of maintaining privacy and protecting users in that way. What I mean you did that you know because you were expecting a crackdown and you know which particularly in kind of cyberspace or digital culture you know that's what always happens and what are the what are the kind of regulatory actions or frameworks that you worry the most about that's going to impinge on blockchain and crypto. I mean the main problem is that you have regulators and you know in the U.S. and around the world their entire job and reason for existence is to surveil and control the flows of money and then you have Bitcoin and this crypto world that is created and it is impossible to stop can't really be surveilled in the way that the regulators want and can't be controlled by them. So it's like you have these two forces now just clashing with each other. Regulators that want to control something which cannot be regulated and all of the crypto businesses and individuals involved in this are like right there in the middle trying to figure out where the the nuances of that you know clash are and none of the regulators know how this is going to end up none of the businesses know how this is going to end up it's very costly you know every crypto company spends a ton of money on lawyers just trying to navigate these rules. Are there any in the United States are there any politicians or analysts who you think are particularly influential and problematic in terms of what they're what they're proposing in order to kind of you know take the curtains off of crypto. We have not yet seen to what degree Biden's administration will change policies from the Trump administration. Generally each new set of politicians tends to create a new set of problems but we haven't seen anyone specifically that's far better or worse than anyone under Trump we probably need another year or two to to know. Certainly Steve Mnuchin under the Trump administration was pretty awful. He loved posing with pictures of fiat currency right?  The ability that like any politician would would just be allowed to create money out of thin air that everyone else in the world is forced to work for throughout their whole lives and can just be debased and he sits there with this like smile on his face like he knows so bad and thankfully we don't have to ask his permission to use alternatives so as bitcoin grows people will just move to it and he's going to be left holding a bunch of paper. Does the fact that bitcoin hasn't emerged as a medium of exchange you know it's working more as a kind of store of knowledge does that disappoint you in any way especially going back to the early kind of vision of bitcoin as a payment system? It disappoints me a little but it has been so successful despite that that I can't get too upset about it. Certainly those of us in the early days thought that the way that we get adoption is to convince more and more people to accept it as a form of payment and at some point you get past a certain critical threshold and then everyone's paying each other with bitcoin. Obviously that has not happened and yet bitcoin has grown into this you know trillion dollar asset and I think what we did not appreciate was that the payments is an attribute of money that's important but is not really the most important for bitcoin. The stability of the protocol the soundness of the currency supply the transparent immutable ledger these are attributes of a money that are really unique and have given bitcoin value despite it being inefficient for small payments and it's also you know not fair to say that it's never used as a medium exchange you know we're here at this bitcoin conference lots of people bought their tickets with bitcoin I can send bitcoin to people all over the world. Reason foundation the nonprofit that publishes reason tv accepts bitcoin. Yeah so people can use it you know it works as a form of payment it's that is just not it's killer app. Right what what do you make of it does seem you know certainly in places like China where there's a kind of growing attack on bitcoin as a reality in the United States there's you know gathering storms to regulate or limit it and whatnot. Do you see that also as a sign of its success that governments are now really starting to pay attention to it. Yeah well and interestingly the governments tend to pay attention along with the price also. So the whole world forgets about bitcoin in the bear market. And the whole world gets very excited and interested in it during the bull market. The regulators are no exception to that. Yeah you know in China it's kind of the same as in the U.S. and that they want to control money. They have their their digital yuan now and they are trying to have a form of money that they have pure and complete control and observation of. Extremely Orwellian and then there's bitcoin which they can't stop. You know the the mightiest government in the world can't turn off bitcoin. Do you worry I mean a government like China is more openly authoritarian and is not a verse to cracking skulls in a way that a lot of kind of Western European or OECD countries are. Do you worry that they are it's going to become a violent showdown between kind of bitcoiners and authoritarian governments. Hopefully it won't become literally violent but it certainly is already figuratively violent and that these governments are using coercion to influence what the market would ultimately prefer to do. So I think that will get worse. Most governments do not believe that the that bitcoin is an actual existential threat to their fiat currency. Is it. It absolutely is. And I'm glad that they have the hubris to not see that. So the longer that persists the better. But yeah ultimately people are going to realize at the margins that if they're working for money and they save some of that money that they should save it in a form of value that can't be debased by politicians. Other than one that is you know losing two to five percent of its value every single year. People will learn over time and they will move to bitcoin. Do you you've written about you know when fiat currency starts to kind of lose its you know whether it's through inflation or other measures where it loses its purchasing power its ability to actually be useful to people that bitcoin or and other kind of crypto coins are going to become much more obviously the place to go and that governments are going to come after them. Can you walk through the scenario say whether it's in the United States or the country you think this is going to happen first where bitcoin becomes the preferred alternative and how governments kind of respond to that. Yeah it won't be the U.S. right it's and it's not going to be the the big major countries with reasonably you know reasonably stable currencies. It's going to be the Argentinas of the world the Zimbabwe's of the world Nigeria's of the world where bitcoin will actually become more commonly used as a form of money and I think you know it's at the end of the process that the dollar itself gives way to bitcoin as a superior form of money. It's incredible that it has gotten as far as it has already you know like the zero to one was so much bigger for bitcoin than from here to domination of the dollar. It is already a trillion dollar asset class it is one of the largest currencies in the world like it is in the top 10 currencies of the world most people don't realize that. I heard I haven't fact checked this that behind the dollar the euro the yen and treasury bonds the bitcoin is like the fourth or fifth most liquid traded market in the world today. So it's gotten absolutely massive and this is still before lots of widespread adoption. Is there a particular country or maybe market where it's effectively going to be bitcoinized where bitcoin will be the reserve currency. Well there's very interesting game theory for some of these smaller countries that don't have the reserve currency of the world they may be poor and they might be looking for a way to leapfrog in the country ranking and the wealth of their people historically over the last 10 years any of them that had decided to put some of their treasury reserve into bitcoin would have leapfrogged many other countries and I think some of them will actually take that gamble they realize like we can go buy 100 billion dollars of bitcoin sit around for 10 years and suddenly be one of the wealthiest countries in the world. And that game theory is going to play out you know and the last country to buy bitcoin is probably going to be the United States and there's going to be all these countries you know with huge reserves of sound money while the US has you know paper printing from the nation. You have called yourself you are a radical libertarian where did that come from where did that belief system or a set of ideas come from. Yeah unfortunately being a radical libertarian today is kind of just like being how I feel like the early Americans were they just advocated freedom consistently and that that now makes me an extremist. So I certainly feel alien in the US as someone who advocates freedom that's weird. You know that should not be the minority position. Where did it come from for you. I've just always felt that if you're not hurting other people then you should be free. You know that seems like a very reasonable foundation on which to build a society. And so I just think through that consistently you know that means taxes should be as low as possible. Maybe they can go away entirely. It means regulations shouldn't impede on people that aren't harming each other.  As long as you're not like defrauding someone or physically harming them then you are a peaceful market participant and the rules and posts on you should be pretty minimal. Are you optimistic. I mean you know and this is something that it's not just libertarians often have a kind of end of world or end of days feel about them but some of the things you mentioned you know in terms of say the drug war in terms of marriage equality or a more broad acceptance of alternative lifestyles things reason has been around since 1968. All of these things have come true innovation continues to proceed. You know there are questions like national debt and you know regulations and occupational licensing criminal justice reform which also seems to be moving in the right direction. Overall do you are you optimistic or pessimistic about the chances for a kind of libertarian society. Pessimistic in the short and medium term. The drug war is sort of one of the one of the exceptions to this rule where it's actually becoming more free. marijuana is getting legalized in most places. That's there are not many places not many topics on which I feel like government is getting less intrusive. So I'm not bullish on that in the short term. And I feel like culturally the general public wants more and more from government not less and less. Why do you think that is if our ideas broadly speaking are kind of self evident and pragmatic. Why do people want more government. Most of them went to public schools that were funded and organized by the government. I mean I think a lot of people have grown up to look at the government as their helper which is a very different notion of government than government as a protector of liberty which is was supposed to be how the United States government was set up. It was there only to protect liberty and nothing more. And today it is looked at almost like a parent figure that helps you in your struggles. And that's a very dangerous road to go down because struggles are endless and that means that government will get increasingly large. And you can just look at the debt of the government to realize that you know people want more and more and more and I don't see that stopping any time soon. And there's a kind of munch-housing syndrome by proxy right when you think about the economic crisis in 2008 government pumps up the housing market which crashes then comes in to rescue people who are hurt by falling housing prices etc. So I'm not I'm not bullish on it but But in the long term you are. In the long term I am only because there will have to be some kind of reset and that reset probably materially can come from an actual bond market collapse in the U.S. Treasury market. The debt of the United States is not sustainable you can run any projection of the next 10 or 20 years with any assumed interest rate and realize that soon the interest on the debt will become more than the entire tax base of the country and the bond market has to collapse. When that happens it's going to be a very dark period. I hope that's a short dark period and I hope that I hope that clear minds rise out of that instead of you know an even darker Are you convinced that people holding bitcoin when that happens when that shit hits the fan will they be able to keep bitcoin out of reach of the governments that are going to be coming looking for every scrap in the cupboard that they can commandeer. So yeah some of them will you know we will see if there will be like a similar gold executive order where it was confiscated it is very easy to hide bitcoin if you know what you're doing. So anyone who's confident in that technology you know can say they don't have any bitcoin or that they got rid of it and there's no way to prove that they still have it. It is an extremely powerful technology for individuals. It is an equalizer no matter how much money the government has no matter all their guns and weapons and force and violence they can't break bitcoin and they can't they can't take all the bitcoin from people. So it's a it's a magical technology and it's one of the bright spots in society right now. All right we're going to leave it there we've been talking with Eric Voorhees of ShapeShift thanks so much. Thanks Nick.


We are going to explain the economic problem and what is the meaning of the economic problem? In economics, there may be many types of the problem, but the actual problem that shapes the form of the economic problem, it has only the issue of scarcity. So, the allocation of resources, if we say that this term, the allocation of resources is the main title that gives the all forms of economic problem to the society. Allocation of resources, it provides that the resources, they are scarce. Allocation of resources, it gives that these resources, they have to be utilized among various people. And at the same time, these resources, they may have various combination. These resources, they are limited. And these resources that are mostly available, they are in the form of land, labor, capital, and human capital that is in the form of the entrepreneurship, the management skills. So, these all four factors of production are mostly, they have alternative utilization. They can be utilized for one purpose, and at the same time, they can be utilized for the other purpose. One farmer can plant a crop in a field, and if he wants to, he can plant another crop in the field. So, now, he has to decide that he has to plant a plant for himself or for his animals. And if he wants to plant both things, then he has to decide that, if I have four acres of land, then I have to allocate to plant so many crops, and how many I have to allocate to plant four. And in the same form, if we are talking about the second thing, which we call capital, then available form of machinery, available form of expertise, and knowledge, and technology, this will also be in the form of resources. So, you have to see how many available resources I have, so an entrepreneur decides. And how to utilize these resources in an efficient way? So, the next question we have in the economic problem is to utilize resources in an efficient way. And if we talk in an efficient way, it means that way, we should not waste resources, not waste them. As much resources are available in the form of input, as much as they are available in the form of production, in the form of output, to society, and to its owners. So, the problem of choice is the name of the decision between scarcity and multiple ends, which we have to maintain and balance. And when we have to look at these factors of production, we have to see that the human wants, which we call resources scarce, the human wants are unlimited. Now, if we are talking here about how the wants can be unlimited, so we can say that if there is a desire or a wish of one person today, then over the time, if they complete or complete it, then after 5 or 10 years, they will have new desires. One person wants to get education, this is his today's issue. When he is going to complete the education, then he wants to be a servant and earn for himself. When he completes this, then after that, he wants to earn in it. Now, I should increase my salary. Now, I have to build a house. Now, I have to buy a car. Now, I have to travel a little. So, in life, when things go ahead, then our wish, our desire, our unlimited form goes on. So that we get new things every day.
