Leonard Michael Donna Peter. How are you? I'm good. How are you doing? Thanks for having me. You got it Thanks for being on how weird has this season been for you? I mean very rarely do you see players in football traded and you would trade it and you would trade it between two teams That share the same stadium. So how strange has it been? It's been a little strange, but you know today you see trades occur more often in the football I don't think it's as rare as it used to be But I think if this is the first time the Jets and Giants have ever traded before and you know That's been kind of an easier transition for me because I've already been playing in the same stadium and all that type of stuff You know now they they work out in different places, but did you have to move? No, I didn't have to move. I was actually probably about 10 minutes Further away from the Giants Then I was with the Jets and just just the opposite direction basically So was it difficult to get dealt because there's that well a team wanted me But then there's that feeling of you know the team that drafted me traded me away So was that difficult for you to reconcile? You're getting sent away from the team that actually selected you You know, there's definitely sometimes feelings involved as much as you don't want to say that you know, it's a business and you try to keep a business and you know at the same time, you know, I was happy that the Jets brought me in and started off my career and You know, I was happy that they drafted me But at the same time like you said the Giants wanted me So, you know, there was that and in the back of my mind as well that you know clear to this team wanted me if they Went out to trade for me. So what did what were your thoughts on the Jets defense when you left up till that point? I mean, I thought the defense was great.  We hardly know each other and I know you have an agent Well, you have all the leverage in your world in the world all the leverage the Giants trade it for you You're gonna be a free agent. They have to sign you otherwise. They wasted two draft picks Yeah, I mean I've been hearing talks about it at the same time, you know I still want to show them what I got and you know, so far they've been impressed with how I carry myself around the Building and you know, how well I've been fitting in with the rest of the guys on the team and you know I'm definitely trying to be one of the leaders on this on this group Eventually, you know, all right You've only been with the Giants a short time But you know the defense seems to be a bit of a work in progress difficult to get off the field on third down That's been a problem even well before you got here Are you seeing any signs of improvement coming out of this by where fans can feel a little bit better about what you're Doing on the defensive side of the ball. Yeah, I mean, I definitely a lot of promise you know, what I'm seeing is a team that's You know plays very well for the most part and there'll be like one or two plays that gets away from us and it's like a small Technique issue or you know, just a error something like that. And then the other team will convert our third down So, you know first and second downs, I think the team is doing a good job It's just getting off the same up there and downs will work on it How weird was it for you Leonard to play against the Jets? I mean so soon after you you are a team of these guys and you're playing against them Yeah, I mean it was really soon a quick turn around It was interesting for sure and to say the least You know, but at the same time, I still treated it like a game You know, I didn't I wasn't treating them like they were my friends or anything like that after the game You know, we we said hi to each other and all that type of stuff But between the whistles and you know while we're on the grass You know, we played ball. Is it true Leonard? We're talking with Leonard Williams at the Giants here on the Michael K show Is it true that you hit Sam Donald and he cursed at you? No, it was funny because I was hitting him a few times getting close to him almost got a sack on him a few times and then I finally was like dang it Sam like hold on to the ball. Like, you know, I didn't say And then that's when he said something back and we were just like laughing about it He did he we have a weekly with him every week and and he does speak quite highly of you and said he's you guys are pretty tight What's your relationship like with Sam and what have you thought about his development over the season? Oh, yeah, we've had a pretty good relationship. You know, we went to college together You know, I was a lot older and he was a red shirt at the time but you know since he came in at the Jets, you know, he's been nothing but a professional and You know, I like the way he carries himself and he's definitely getting better and better So, you know, I wish him the best of luck. What was your thoughts of Adam Gase while you had a chance to be coached by him? I mean, it was a good program. You know, I mean, you know, it was a good time there I definitely enjoyed my time at the at the Jets, but you know at the same time, I'm You know such a quick turnaround I quickly have to forget about where I was and move on to where I am and You know, that's what the Giants now. So I've been more trying to just focus on going forward You know, it's so interesting to me, you know, when people are trying to judge Leonard Williams They're talking about the lack of sacks, but then I look at it and that that's not your job Yeah, you'd like to get to the quarterback, but there are other responsibilities tying people up stopping the run So do you think that's an unfair way to look at you while he hasn't had sacks?  He's a freak, you know, he's a little different But, um, you know, not all the tacos are getting ten plus sacks a year It's like you're getting around like six to ten if that and you know, I felt like I made it to the pro bow I've you know, I've done a lot of good things and I'm definitely getting the run game and I get a lot of quarterback hits I get a lot of pressure and you know, that causes interceptions that that causes frustration in the quarterback I think it causes a lot more problems to the offense than Then then fans realize and you know, I think it's just such a fantasy world league where Yeah, so many so many fans have a fantasy football where if the stat isn't on paper And they don't see it in the fantasy points and then they don't see you doing anything You know, I mean, I'm curious Obviously the Giants saw something that they'd like to make the deal when you got there Did they say keep doing what you're doing or did they want to tweak some things that you were doing? I mean, they haven't talked to me about tweaking anything They just told me, you know, keep being the player that I am and just keep Trying to be better, which is what we try to do every year you know, you always want to be better than than you were yesterday and You know what I like so far about what they've been doing with me They moved me around a lot and trying to put me in and in great positions to get after quarterback and just Be my best on the field now before we let you go. I'm curious It's such a violent game and you guys have to control your emotions, especially when the whistle blows What's your thoughts on what happened with Miles Garrett? Can you see why it happened? Man, you had to hit me with this tough one Had to get one. Yeah, I mean, I think it's just a really touchy subject, you know I think stuff like that has been happening In this aggressive sport Throughout time, you know, I mean it's happened since high school. It's happened since Pop Warner college but it's just more controversial when you get into the NFL because you know children and young kids and people that want to play football one day like aspire to be like us and And we're basically role models to a lot of people in the world and you know they see you do the slightest thing wrong and and It gets blown up just because you're supposed to be like a superhero kind of person You know what I mean and it's hard to hold anybody to those expectations and You know, I hope you know it gets resolved How about pouncing? In defending your teammate at that point once your quarterback has been you know hidden ahead with a helmet Do you agree with all bets being off in doing everything you can to defend your teammate? Or do you think he might have been out of bounds as well? I mean, I love the passion from him from you know That's the one thing you want from often to linemen is to protect your quarterback at all times You know, if you see your quarterback on the ground, you should be the first one over there to help pick him up and stuff like that So, I mean, I'm sure a lot of people love to see that passion and protect in somebody But I think overall there was definitely, you know, some things that were just possibly taken a little too far And that's the reason why I got you know over escalated. I notice that after pouncy went as hard as he did It didn't seem like anybody from Cleveland had any interest in messing with pouncy Is that would that be an accurate statement? I mean, I'm not sure I didn't watch the video that closely, but I mean, he's a big guy and he looked like he was going pretty hard Well, good stuff London as I told you I'm here for you I just want you to know you have the leverage every single bit of the leverage So you're gonna be able to score big big big. I'm telling you appreciate that you got it Good rest of the season. All right. Thank you


Before we get into today's video, I want to remind you that we are on a road to 100,000 subscribers and if we can get there by the time Tears of the Kingdom comes out on May 12th, we will be giving away a collector's edition of Tears of the Kingdom, so that's Steelbook, the artbook, the pins, and that poster, it can be all yours for free, we just need to see if we can get to our goal, so I would appreciate if you would go ahead and subscribe to the channel. Now, today we're going to be talking about Tears of the Kingdom because I'm a little confused and I bet I'm not the only person that's confused because as of today, we're essentially two days away from being two months out from the game coming out. And before I go further in, I'm going to ask you to go down to the comment section and tell me what is the first thing you hope to do in Tears of the Kingdom when you boot it up?  Now, the reason I find this to be really strange is we thought the marketing campaign was supposed to begin last month, right? That's what we all were believing, that Nintendo was waiting for the infamous February Nintendo Direct to give us some sort of blowout or at least some sort of example from the game. And by the way, we did get a trailer, in fact arguably one of the best trailers today. We heard Ganondorf's voice, we saw Evil of Foot, we heard Doubt from Zelda, that link is actually going to be able to win this time. We got a lot of really cool stuff, we even got potentially a tease at weapon grafting, at least some weird things going on with weapon grafting. Also, vehicles and that's wild and that's crazy and that's awesome. But what we didn't get afterwards is a continuous marketing campaign. Now obviously back then, they still had some other games to worry about marketing. We had Kirby return to Dreamland Deluxe which, hey, shout out to Kirby. Hey, Kirby's still number one in Japan. It's right there at the top of the chart, so while PlayStation 5 is the best selling system, Kirby is the best selling game at the moment. So, shout out to Kirby, getting some Japanese love over there. But here's the thing, besides that, there hasn't been a whole lot for Nintendo to worry about. Optimum Traveler 2 came out, it's a multi-platform game. Obviously, we still have the Bayonetta stuff that's supposed to be coming this month and that's cool. But also, they haven't really ramped up the marketing for Tears of the Kingdom at all. We thought that this was the beginning. In fact, they gave us a slight tease right after the direct.  So it felt like, alright, now's the time. We're going to start getting random screenshots dropped, or if not daily, at least weekly, maybe some commercial teases. Oh, here's a new 32nd commercial in Japan. Here's a new 32nd commercial in the UK. Oh, here's another small trailer. Here's an article detailing the about us with a new link or some changes that happened to Zelda. And then eventually, this could all lead to us finally getting a story trailer or some sort of Zelda Direct. We could have the announcement of a brand new Tears of the Kingdom Special Edition system and all these other things. Like, oh, we're going to start getting merchandise advertising. Hey, we got Upcoming Address, the amiibo we announced. But you know what? Now we got a partnership of first four figures to have these things launching alongside of the game. Maybe we get some new Zelda LEGO sets. And look, we thought it was going to begin. And yet, we're basically two months out from the game coming out, and it didn't. We thought we were just waiting for that Direct. And now we're still waiting. Why? I know that Nintendo at times can be an extremely secretive company with very specific games. We also know nothing about Metroid Prime 4, right? Like, they could be a very secretive company with very specific games. But Zelda has never been that game where Nintendo doesn't heavily market it having the launch. Look, Breath of the Wild obviously had its own extremely unique marketing campaign. And I certainly did not expect Tears of the Kingdom to mimic that marketing campaign. They were launching an entirely new system. But was it so off base to expect a similar marketing campaign as The Wind Waker got? How about a similar marketing campaign to Majora's Mask? Heck, we were getting commercials for that game four months out from launch. Remember that moon falling commercial? Yeah, that was four months out. What is going on with Tears of the Kingdom? Why are they afraid to market this game? Now, I use fear in a bit of a tongue-in-cheek way. I don't think Nintendo is afraid of anything. I do think that Nintendo is confident. Maybe over-confident. You see, I do think Tears of the Kingdom is going to be an absolutely fantastic game because Breath of the Wild was a fantastic game. They spent a long time developing this. And if the team behind Breath of the Wild made a game I love, why wouldn't Tears of the Kingdom be a game I love? But that's just me having confidence in them. I think Nintendo is over-confident in Tears of the Kingdom's ability to sell itself as simply being a sequel to Breath of the Wild. I think this is a sign of Nintendo maybe resting their marketing laurels on the fact that this is a sequel to the most popular Zelda game ever released. And we don't need to massively market the game. We don't need to open the floodgates. This is the thing I think we should start having a conversation about as we get to two months out from the game coming. Maybe the floodgates are just never going to open. Oh, do you expect a Zelda Direct later this month? What about in April? What if we don't get one at all? What if Nintendo never opens the floodgates on the marketing? And all we're going to get is a final trailer, a launch trailer, about a week out from the game coming out. What if that's it? What if that's all that's next?  Nintendo wouldn't do that. They marketed Kirby more than that. But what if they're also that confident that simply being the sequel to the best-selling Zelda game of all time is enough that it's going to sell enough? I find it strange, but I also don't know that this is wild and out of bounds because Nintendo does experiment with a lot of things. And I wonder if, tears of the kingdom, they are trying an experimental marketing campaign creating demand by giving very little information, by purposely holding back and revealing almost nothing about this game. It can create more demand, interest, and intrigue in the game at launch. Now, the thing is, it's only going to do that for people that play Breath of the Wild. It certainly won't do that for anyone who's never played a Zelda game. So I could argue that in terms of trying to sell tears of the kingdom to a brand new audience, they're doing a pretty bad job. But here we sit a couple of months out and I'm going a little mad over here, wondering why we're not seeing more of this. Now, I do think there will still be some tears of the kingdom-related announcements. As an example, the OLED, right? The Zelda OLED that at this point leaked months ago and we can all but say that at least that leak was real. It was a real leak because it had a bunch of symbols on it. We had never seen before. We thought fans maybe mocked it up based on things from prior trailers and then the collector's edition gets announced and lo and behold, those exact same symbols are present. So it turns out that, okay, that actually was a legit leak. Maybe it was just a prototype. Maybe it was a real thing. But obviously Nintendo's probably going to have a special edition OLED to launch, right? They didn't increase production of Switch OLEDs heading into next year because they're not going to do a special edition I think is going to sell really well. So yeah, I do think they will announce it. Some people think they'll announce it next week because that gives them a similar release, announce and release pattern to some prior Nintendo Switch OLEDs. Some think they'll announce it in April. Maybe they're waiting to be, like right now is Mario Day. Today is Mario Day. They dropped the DLC. They got this other stuff. The other things they wanted to distract you with, they don't want to talk Zelda. And you know what? They have a Mario movie and one prevailing theory at the moment is all their marketing is shifting to the Mario movie. Okay? Nintendo likes to not market multiple things at once. I don't know why, but that's just the way Nintendo is. They like to have a very focused marketing and right now the Mario movie is getting the marketing. We got the Mario movie direct, but more than the Mario movie direct, they're getting other marketing, the Jimmy Fallon appearances now. And look, the interviews and it's happening. The Mario movie floodgates have opened and that movie comes out in less than a month. So the last prevailing thought and we thought this back when we were waiting for the director in February is we just need the Mario movie to come out. That we're going to get a Zelda blowout the week after the Mario movie comes out because we hit exactly one month from launch on April 12th. April 12th happens to land on a Wednesday. Nintendo does do directs on Wednesday. So maybe Wednesday, April 12th will be when we finally get the big marketing push for Tears of the Kingdom. And waiting until the final month, well, frustrating for some, at least gives them a month run-up of marketing, right? Or, I mean, as most of us consider it, three weeks of run-up because we all know Tears of the Kingdom is going to leak online a week early, right? So we got about three weeks for us as consumers of relevant stuff before all of us begin to block Tears of the Kingdom on social media because we don't want the whole game ruined for us. Look, the only reason it kind of feels like we have been okay to date is because of the artbook leak. Where would we be right now if the artbook didn't leak? And I'm starting to, maybe this is just my crazy brain going, I'm starting to think the longer and longer we don't hear about this game. And now that I'm pretty convinced we won't hear about Tears of the Kingdom until after the Mario movie comes out, that that artbook leak might have been intentional by Nintendo, that they wanted to leak that artbook because they knew they had nothing else going on until after Mario. And so they wanted to just give us something to think about while we're waiting, while we're waiting, while we're waiting.  And all YouTube did was say, yeah, you need to take that video down, but we're going to leave you alone. That's it, no strikes. They didn't come after my channel hard or anything. They just said, yeah, just take that down, please, thanks. Sure, I'll take it down. That's it. You're just giving me like a slap on the wrist. This is something you're selling. This is something that you're only supposed to get if you buy a $130 collector's edition and the entire thing leaked out there. And you're only going to slap me on the wrist? But there's other videos today that still on my channel alone have a couple pages of the artbook shown in it when we're talking about certain things. Granted, they're zoomed in and the whole page isn't present at one time, but there's still leaked things there. There's an entire tears of the kingdom reddit where images leaked from the artbook are popping up every day as people come up with new theories. And Nintendo's not shutting that down. I'm starting to think that artbook leak was intentional. And if the artbook leak was intentional, that just leads to this whole premise that they knew they weren't going to be talking about this game until a month out or maybe they're just not going to talk about it at all. You guys let me know how you're feeling today about two months, about two months again, or a couple days off from this strangeness that we're experiencing right now with this marketing campaign. Do you think it's a good idea? A secretly brilliant one? I know I don't need to be sold on the game. I'm buying it. But I do worry about other people that just don't know. And there's plenty of people that look at it still and can't quite figure out if it's going to be worth a $70 price tag. There's that as well. They do need to sell some of the Breath of the Wild customers on, hey, we're charging more for this game. Why? Some people still need to be sold on that, too. So I don't know. Nintendo's going to Nintendo. And I know Kit Ellis, he called it. He called that there would be a very, very weak marketing campaign for this game. But you know what? Maybe we're getting blown out starting April 12th. Maybe the art book leak was intentional. Maybe a lot of things. Let me know what you think, and I'll catch you guys in the next video.


Wow, what's up money geeks? Mr. V here. Welcome to another video guys. So in today's video, we are going to talk about NVIDIA. Again, this is a stock that we covered here when they announced that they were going to do a four for one split.  There's some updates coming up here that I want us to talk about in preparation for the split. But before we get started guys, if you're new to the channel, we'll talk about how to earn money, how to save money, how to invest and build wealth. So that's something that interests you. Go ahead and hit that subscribe button and the notification bell so you don't miss out on new content. So for this of you that don't know, just go to nvidia.com and read about the company. They are like the number one chip manufacturer. And you can see them in pretty much most of gaming computers and a lot of technology chips are being applied in there. So just go do some research and video as a company that pretty much most people know. I'm not going to go into what they do and all that because I've talked about it here on the channel already. To this video, I just want to give you guys a quick update and again kind of structure the game plan for what's coming. So guys, if you remember back in May when NVIDIA announced that they're going to do a four for one stock split. And so I covered that here when they made the announcement. You can see here May that was Friday, May 21st. So I did a video telling you guys about what I think about this and the direction that I think they should go or how I would approach it because I don't currently own NVIDIA in my portfolio. And I guess so jealous when I see the price keep going up. So I said, okay, here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to wait until the split and then I'm going to buy NVIDIA. And at that point NVIDIA was trading at a reasonable price. But now I keep looking at this like, man, should I have bought NVIDIA back then or was the weight kind of a miss? So let's take a look here. So this is NVIDIA right now. This is just six months back. So they announced that split around May 21st. So you can see right there. May 21st. So this stock was trading just about $600, right? So NVIDIA is currently up about 35%. So about 600 is not trading at 816 bucks. So up about, yeah, you can see up about 35% from the time the announced split. So I'm kind of kicking myself for not even taking advantage of that because if I had bought it then and then wrote it all the way up and then sell before the split and then wait and then buy back in because that would be when I want a whole long term. But I don't have a crystal ball. I never would have predicted that this is how this thing was going to go. If I knew this is how this thing was going to go, I would have looked 35% a lot out of loaded up and make some profit from doing that. So yeah, I'm really mad. So again, one of the things that I want to make sure that you guys are aware of here is that the merger or this again, one of the things I want to make sure that you guys are aware of is that this split date is coming up here. I think the split is July 20. So come July 20, NVIDIA is going to do the 4 for 1 split. And at that point, they're going to do the 4 for 1 split based on the price of the stock at that particular point. So again, if you own NVIDIA, you're not going to lose any money. You're just going to get more shares, but the overall value of your stock is going to stay the same. So in this case, let's say this thing is currently sitting at $816. So if you take $816 divided by 4, that's going to give you what you're going to get as far as the price per share, but then you get 4 shares. So technically, you didn't lose any money. You just acquired more shares for the same value. So that's how I want you to see that. So 4 for 1 split would be you take one stock, you break it up into 4, but the price still stays the same. Hope that makes sense. Again, quick math is just take say one share of NVIDIA is $816 divided by 4. It would give you the value that you're going to get per share at the closing of that split. And then you're going to get 4 shares after the closing. And then that's what you're going to have moving forward. So I hope that makes sense. Again, guys, my game plan will still stay the same. I missed out on just 35% increase here, but my game plans are going to stay the same. I'm going to wait for that split. Hopefully the split happens and there's a pullback like we saw with Apple. Like we saw with Tesla. If that happens, that would be really a gift to me because I want to get into NVIDIA, but I don't want to be paying premium already. Because people that got in early, they are making a ton of money right now.  I don't want to buy high and they pull back and I'm sitting in the right there hoping it goes back up. I want the reverse buy low and then ride it all the way high. So that's why I'm being very patient. I'm not trying to be informal here. I'm just focusing on my fundamentals. I'm going to wait for the right opportunity. Patience is what differentiates people that win in the market and people that lose. If you don't have patience, boy, you are just heading towards a disaster. Again, my personal opinion here. So again, just quick recap here. I wanted to give you guys this quick update on NVIDIA. Again, the stock split is coming up here July 20th. So put that on your calendar. Again, what's going to happen is that once you're going to get four stocks for every stock of NVIDIA they have today and the value is going to stay the same. But split across your four stocks. So that's something that I want you guys to be aware of. Also, just quick, just so you know, from the last time we did the video about NVIDIA doing the split, they are up 35%. I know that's not really good for those of us that are not in the stock, but I know for shareholders, I'm pretty sure you guys are super excited. So congrats to all people that are still holding NVIDIA. So again, let me know in the comment section what you think about this. If you're new to the channel, we'll talk about how to earn money, how to save money, how to invest and pay it worth. So that's something that interests you.

Hello, my name is Razaram Sampoor. I'm a developer advocate here at Tigera. Tigera is the company behind the open source project Calico, but more on that later. First, a little bit about me. I create bugs and watch them cause panics. This is because I'm always eager to learn new stuff and open to suggestions. So let's connect and exchange ideas. Just like many others, I've completed all the TV shows and movies and all the streaming services. And for a change of pace, I started to do the Calico EVPF certification course, which led me to an interesting paper from the 90s that proposed Berkeley packet filtering or BPF, which to me is like the best conversation starter for any kind of parties. I find it so fascinating that I decided to preach it to others and here we are. I'll try my best to share all the things that I've learned so far and hope it will help you in your journey as well. In this video, I'm going to give you an overview of Project Calico and what it is that we're doing at Tigera. Then try my best to explain how an application works. After that, I will introduce a magical solution to solve most application problems and then talk a bit about BPF history and EVPF. I will demo some interesting projects that I found along the way that will help you with the cluster observability and let you know what could be the next step after you tame the BPF superpowers. What is Project Calico? Project Calico is a community behind a pure layer three approach to virtual networking for highly scalable data centers. By layer three, I mean IP and routing. Calico is an open source networking and network security solution for containers, virtual machines and native host based workloads. It is important to note that Calico is not just a Kubernetes CNI. In fact, Calico supports a broad range of platforms, including OpenShift, Merantis, OpenStack and BareMetals. Project Calico is an active community about the cloud networking and security. Feel free to join our community using these social networking handles. You can drive the conversation where you see a need for change or seek help for your Calico journey from the developers who are actively working on the project. What is an application? Applications are arguably the most important part of the user experience these days. If you're looking to do something with your smartphone, PC or smart fridge, there is an application for it in an app store somewhere in the internet. In a server environment, applications are used to create services that can interact with user demands to provide meaningful experiences. An application is usually a piece of software that allows end user to achieve goals that are not implemented in the computer operation by extending the original capabilities of the underlying software. When you run an application, it transfers some essential information to the RAM and stores any additional information in some sort of data store like hard disk or SSD. And in some cases, the RAM itself. Linux Kernel is a great example of an application. Now let's explore how the application is loaded. For instance, when you start the computer, a lot of low level stuff happens and somewhere along the way, there's a jump to BIOS. BIOS starts to check the hardware, then attempts to boot the bootloader. The bootloader program at this point does a lot of magic to decompress and load the kernel into the memory. Long story short, if all magical things happen as expected, you will end up with a running kernel that provides access to the underlying hardware. At this point, other applications can use syscalls and other methods provided by the kernel to consume hardware resources for drawing or calculating data. As a real life example, the video that you are watching is possible since your browser or player is doing a lot of syscalls in order to render the picture and my voice. Applications do not always behave like they supposed to. Applications can become unresponsive from time to time. An application being unresponsive usually is caused by exceeding the available amount of resources or an unexpected behavior caused by user interaction or a bug. If the underlying cause of application unresponsiveness is not treated, it might leap into a kernel panic in the future and bring the whole system down. By the way, speaking from the experience, there's a huge chance that you are thinking about a new problem in your environment that just happened. And if you don't have a monitoring or observability solution, there's a huge chance that it's a recurring problem that have happened before, but it was missed because there's no lot. Now, let's talk about the magical solution that can at least momentarily fix most application problems. Fix support in the British comedy TV show, I.T.Crad used to say a phrase that we all have heard it once in our lifetime. Although it was used as a joke by the TV show writers, this is a real fix in many situations. Let's explore why turning it off and on again works. If you remember, I talked about how an application stores data in RAM. When a restart or a kill signal is issued, RAM gets cleared and resources become available again, resulting in a magical fix. At this point, you might be wondering, it can't be that simple. Well, it is that simple. However, there's a huge problem with this approach. After restarting or sending a kill signal, you might destroy critical information that could help you in diagnosing and finding the root cause of the problem. So is there a better solution? Yes, monitoring and observability. This is not a new topic. There are countless applications like IOS stats, top iPREF, you name it. That will give you a better understanding on how resources are consumed in your environment. In fact, whenever a company is on fire, someone is trying to find a new tool that can magically find and solve the problem. I would like to tell you there is a better way called BPF that can help you find any issues that you might face in the future or having at the moment. But first, a little bit about BPF itself. In 1922, almost 30 years ago, Stephen McCain and Van Jacobsen, apologies if I butchered the names, wrote a paper with some eye-catching claims. At the time, Unix was popular and capturing network traffic by using CMU Stanford packet filter, or CSPF as an abbreviation, which was designed for 64 kilobyte PDP-11 systems was huge. You can see the 64 kilobyte PDP-11 in the left image. While it was a pioneering work and a leap forward for its time, the huge growing demand for information and the old architecture of CSPF started to raise eyebrows by delivering a poor performance in your machines like some 60 megabytes spark station. Unfortunately, I could not find an image for some 16 megabytes, so you end up with some spark station 1 plus in the middle. They claimed with implementing BPF, capturing packets can be 10 to 100 times faster than CSPF. And applying kernel agents for discarding unwanted packets can happen as early as possible, resulting in a huge performance gain. Today BPF offers way more than just capturing packet and filtering it. Nowadays, it is better to refer to it as a virtual machine inside the kernel that can verify instructions and run them safely with a great performance inside the kernel without the need to recompile the kernel. This is a huge game changer since writing a kernel module requires rs and rs of kernel compilation, if it works. BPF is a goal-lang development toolchain that extends the BPF capabilities and provides an easier way to run BPF program inside the kernel. So demo. Full disclosure, there are some interesting projects written with the BPF that other people have written and maintaining them. Please check out their GitHub pages, the links are provided at the end of this slide. I'm just a messenger here. All right. So I have Kubernetes cluster, hopefully. Yes. My cluster runs Calico and it uses BPF data plan. I have also the Google Boutique microservices application, which is free and you can download from their GitHub. Now, I was curious to find out more about the things that are happening inside the BPF data plane. So I stumbled into the eBPF data plane troubleshooting page in the docs.project Calico and found out that there is a BPF trace application that can provide insight into the BPF programs that are running by Calico in real time. Just like any kid with a new toy, I started experimenting and see what I can find. Now, this is the BPF program and all its glory. It will show you ARP, ROTE table, NAT table. Now, the things that I wanted to see was the BPF routing table, which you can see here. This is different from the Linux routing table and it is also a BPF program that runs inside the kernel. You can also check out the NAT table and these are the live NATs that are happening inside my cluster. This is without SSH. As you can see, I'm just running the coop-cattle-execute to run the Calico node binary with the BPF argument. Now, there's also a DELETE and SET if I remember correctly, yes. So, there's a DELETE and SET which sounds to have great potential to cause panic, but I leave it to you to find it for yourself. Now, after this, I thought BPF claims to be able to peek into everything and I like to verify this claim by checking what is happening in my application. And by my application, I mean the microservices application provided by Google. So, I search a bit and came across coop-cattle-flame which is another project that uses EVPF to profile an application and create a flame graph for it. Don't worry if you don't know about flame graph. I didn't know about it either. Just searched inside YouTube for Brandon Gregg. He's the one who I believe popularized the flame graph and he's also the maintainer of it. So, he got a lot of materials about the profiling and all the good stuff.  Okay, we have to wait. Okay. Now, I have an older flame graph that is used to graph the front-end application that I've showed you. So, with the flame graph, you can peek inside each function that was running in your application loop and all the time that it took for the application to execute each function. So, you could come here and find out, all right, this application uses net-http-helper-handler-function-service-http to provide the HTTP service that... All right, as you can see, the flame graph is dead. All right. Now, after this, I thought, all right, this is great, but I want to create something on my own. What are... Is there any project that can help me to write my own BPF code? And let me introduce you to the BPF compiler collection of framework that can help you write and execute BPF programs and tie it to a Python interpreter. For this, I created a dummy pod with an alpine image and installed the BCC framework, which is quite easy. I will share a link at the end to see how you can do it on your own. As you can see, there's not much running in this pod and we don't see any other processes like the server processes that is running inside the front and pod application. Now, if I use the BPF profiler and ask it to give me a profile of the things that are running inside my node, it will give you all the information and processes that are running on my node. So if I say I want to see my server application, which is the binary that is serving the front end application, you will see there are these function calls that are happening inside the program and these calls that are happening inside the kernel. I was experimenting with other tools that BCC provides and found out about this thing called TCP Live, which is an awesome tool to find in real time what connections are happening inside the node and how much data is transferring. I think this is the coolest thing that I have found in my journey. Although BPF programs are written in C, as I said, BCC will help you to tie them to a Python front end, which makes it easier. So you could actually take the C portion of these applications and change the output into something that works for your scenario and hopefully share it with others. There is also a kube-catl trace plugin if I'm not mistaken. That can help you run these BPF programs directly from the kube-catl command line interface so you don't need the part like I did. All right, so what's next? BPF can help with tracing and profiling, as we just saw, but that is not the only use of it. BPF can be tamed to drive highly optimized and blazing fast network communication. As an example, Calico ABPF data plane, or it could be used for security purposes, Google Android BPF loader, or many other uses and frameworks like BCC with the help of BPF can provide all sorts of fascinating stuff in every level of kernel to generate a real-time invaluable insight for your services with a minimal performance impact. In fact, this image taken from the BCC GitHub shows all the information that you can gather by using the different tools provided with the BCC framework. Now, you might be wondering what is the next step after collecting these information? Well, glad you asked. Well, you got the stats, so let's force an unexpected reboot to fix the issue. If you'd like to create a demo cluster and take it for a spin, check out the GitHub link in the op. I added all the things that I have done to create the cluster and install every portion that you saw. If something goes wrong, don't be shy. You can yell at me at the links below. I'm also always available at Calico User Slack. These are the resources that I used for this presentation, and at the bottom, you can see the original BPF paper that is really a good read. I really recommend it. Now that you find this recording interesting, I would like to mention there's also a free EVPF course in academy.tigerra.io. The course goes in depth on what is an EVPF program, how you can actually write one and how these applications interact with the kernel. The great thing about the course is that you don't need any special requirements in order to start it. We also started a new community program called Calico Big Cats, and we are eager to learn about your experiences with Calico. You can find more information about the program and its marvelous swag on our website. At last, I'd like to thank you for viewing and bidding your farewell in your BPF journey.


Maybe it's not that you're hard to love. Maybe the truth is that you have been conditioned to believe that because of the people you are trying to get love from that are just instead sending the signal back to you, you are hard to love. So this is as far as it goes with loving you. Look further, push beyond, don't let this love that you have be all the love you think there is for you in the world.


Now, one thing you do need to factor in is if you are using Eclipse, you need to install this Eclipse FX add-on. The way you can think about it is think about Adblock Plus, Ghostry for Chrome. Well, what are you doing with that? You're not necessarily changing Chrome, you're just giving it a little add-on. The same thing is actually happening with Eclipse is I'm not changing Eclipse, I'm actually just kind of adding on this little extra little bit to kind of now handle Java FX. Now it's in the works to get it kind of up and functioning, but right now it doesn't work. So what you have to do is inside of Eclipse, you go to the home section and you'll want to install new software. Now inside here, you'll go to that add button and name it what you like, I kind of would name it what I'm downloading, and then you'd look for that FTP. Again, that FTP is right here. So kind of type that in and then go through the song and dance of installing it. And I've already got mine installed, so I'm kind of good to go with it. So now let's take a look at a sample program. Go ahead and pause this for a second and look at what we're seeing here. Well, the first thing you're going to notice is we've got a lot of imports. We've got a lot of imports and that's because we're now dealing with the fact that a lot of these objects, a lot of these classes have already been built for us, you know, a button, we don't have to redesign the wheel with a button, it's already built for us. Now we do have a few things that we need to deal with, namely the fact that we're dealing now with something called an application, a scene, and a stage. Think of this like a play or a TV show would probably be a good idea of this. It's a play, a play would be good. You have the stage, the stage, and people perform scenes on that stage. Now what we can do is we can have multiple stages going on, but at our juncture right now in the very basic sense, what we're doing is we're saying, I have a scene, I have a stage, I want to perform on it with my scene. Notice what I'm doing here. The first thing is I'm saying that I now extend application. We've already learned about inheritance. Extending something just means I take a lot of the methods and variables that come from the application class, which is abstract, and I have to work on them. Again, because application class is abstract, that means I have to implement the start method. That start method asks for a stage. Again, we're thinking in the sense that think of it like a very high-classy theater. You've got multiple stages. You've got a movie theater. You've got this room, this room, this room, this room, this room, this room. They all have their own kind of little stages, if you will, that then produce scenes. They're all kind of working side by side. We're dealing with the main room. We're dealing with the main stage here. Like I said, we don't have to worry about a lot of these elements reinventing them because they've already been built for us. A button is a button is a button. A checkbox is a checkbox is a checkbox.  These are already built for us in the Java FX library. What I can come in here and do is I can just make something as simple as a button okay scene. I now add my button to my scene. That's kind of what that's doing is I'm saying, oh, well, my scene, I would like you to portray the button, the button. This button is okay. And then on top of that, you see that I didn't have 200 by 250. What I'm saying there is that's my window size. It's my width and my column or height, width, height. So that allows me to now kind of specialize how big my scene is. It could be super teeny tiny or it could be really, really big. For example, this screen right now that you're looking at, this is full screen. However, this, this is my little broadcasting software, high recursion going on here. You can see that this is actually tiny. This has a set size to it. So now what we can do is we can add those in and we've got a few different methods for stages. You can see that my stage, for example, has a show title. It has a set scene and then it has a show. You can think of it again like a play. You've got the draw curtain kind of right in front and you don't see anything until the drum roll please to be or not to be. That is the question. That's what we're seeing here is when we say primary stage show, that's where we go. Now what does it mean that this stage show? What does all that mean? Well, what it all means is, again, we can think of the stage as sort of like my window. That's, here's my little Xbox. Here's my little, make it bigger box. Here's my little minimize. Here's my title. Here's my panel. Here's the actual where it's all kind of going and this is my OK button. So let's actually kind of see this in practice.


when you see statistical testings where 95% confident or there's a 5% margin of error in these kind of terms, those are gonna be more technical statistical terms. We'll talk more about in future presentations. Right now we wanna get down the idea of taking the sample data and using that to infer onto the entire population. Once we get good at doing that, once we have that conceptually down, what we would like to do is to get as clear in terms of mathematical tools as possible using statistics so that in probability in essence, so that we can be more confident, right? Then if we can use statistical equations, then we usually have more predictive power and confidence going into the future. So probability theory is a theory in statistical inference. So probability theory is the backbone of statistical inference. It provides the language and the mathematic tools needed to quantify uncertainty and to make educated guesses. So we're using the mathematical tool when we're looking at statistical inference of probability theory. So it provides a means to quantify how likely or unlikely the observed data would be assuming a particular statistical model is true. So note what we have to do if you look at something from a scientific kind of approach, usually if you go into a laboratory, for example, what they're trying to do is isolate everything that has an impact to a few different impacts on a particular item, whatever they're testing, right? So that then they can see the cause and effect of the one thing that they're looking at. So they're trying to isolate everything so that they can look at the cause and effect. When we look at kind of predictability in the real world, we have to make similar kind of assumptions. We have to basically say, well, here's the statistical model that I'm putting together. Certain assumptions are gonna be made in the statistical model to make projections, predictions about future outcomes, for example, in an election. And if these assumptions are true based on then, then we can come up with a mathematical approach of what the result will be. But of course, a model is just a model. So a model is not the real world, because usually in the real world, unlike with a lab, we can't trim everything down to just a couple factors, to test a couple factors. So we have to make, of course, assumptions. And then the question is, is the model that we put together, does it have good predictive power for the results for the entire population or not? So it's gonna be dependent on the model and no model is perfect because the model is not the real world. It's just the model. Hypothesis testing. Hypothesis testing is another key element of statistical inference, where in essence, we form two opposing hypotheses about the population, the null hypothesis and the alternative hypotheses within collect data and compute a test statistic. So clearly, hypothesis testing is a core scientific tool. If we were to go back into our laboratory, for example, and run a scientific test to see whether or not a particular element causes a fluid to turn green, what we would want to do is try to remove all other factors on the fluid, form a hypothesis that being the null hypothesis, nothing's gonna happen when we add the elements to the fluid and then the alternative being that it changes colors, that it turns green, for example. And then we're gonna run multiple tests from that point to see what happens is the general idea. So depending on the value of this test statistic, we decide whether to reject the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative. This process allows us to make statistically informed decisions about the population based on our sample data. So let's take a look at an example here. So we want to be determining the fairness of a coin. That is whether it is equally probable for the coin to land on heads as it is to land on tails. So in other words, we're given a coin a quarter, for example. And if we flip the coin multiple times, we would expect that there's gonna be an equal number of times that it's gonna have heads versus tails or at least the probability of it landing heads and tails should be equal. That would be the assumption we would have and that would be basically our null type of assumption. And the null assumption oftentimes would be things are gonna be as is, right? The standard type of assumption. And then it would be more unusual generally if the coin did not land statistically speaking on a 50-50 chance. So what are the chances that the coin is not fair? That it's more likely to land on heads, for example, than on tails. Well, what would we do in order to test this in the real world? We can't flip the coin infinitely many times because so we don't know all the entire population of the coin flips.


Our identity politics actually ruining the left and the right and which side uses it more man this op-ed is going viral and this guy really broke it down. Yeah, we gotta talk about it. The Boston Globe op-ed is called identity politics is a game the left can't win opinion by Frederick de Boer. He is a self-proclaimed Andrew old school Marxist liberal, but he Andrew was listening out the ways that in a way that I guess he's not happy with his own party. And this went really viral, I think on both sides. Right, right. So we're going to summarize and go through the top comments, give your own thoughts, please hit that like button and check out other episodes of Hop Hop Boys as we got a little political one. I would say from silly to serious Andrew, this is probably more on the serious side, right? I mean this has to do with what? A national divorce, I didn't tarry in things or identity politics legit. Are they not legit? What is the role of government in governing these things even? I don't know David. I think it's pretty silly because what is anybody gonna do about it, huh? Everybody's just gonna be a read a bunch of articles and not take action. I'm just kidding, but anyways, we'll talk about it. So long story short, Andrew, let's just summarize the article. He basically was saying that the left right now is going very like identarian, right? Like there's a hierarchy of oppressed groups. This group is more oppressed than that. The impression Olympics. But it sort of matters like what you're talking about, right? Like this group might be oppressed in sports. This group might be oppressed economically, right?  I'm against that. Right. So the right's identity is just anti-left. Whatever is left, I'm anti that and that's my identity, right? Anti-woke, right? Right, anti-woke. And yeah, and it seems like what this guy's also trying to say and you can read the whole article down below. It's not a long read. He's kind of saying like, yeah, in the left side is kind of alley-ooping it to the Republicans to the right side to let them slam it down because there's an easy slam right now. We're making it easy for them. Is it a little bit like if we were in boxing and I'm trying to throw all these complicated like tricks and gimmicks and combos at you.  Like he's like the right is like counter punching the left. Yeah. He also says the reasons that it's allowed to work is because 70% of the electorate is white even though 70% of America is not white necessarily. Right. Because white people have a higher rate of voting than other groups. Yeah. So he's talking about of the voting group when the left side kind of vilifies or makes fun of white people or makes white people feel bad. You're actually making a lot of the people who vote feel bad. Right. Because a lot of minorities have a relatively low voting rate. Exactly. He also says that all college educated people including college educated whites generally are left leaning but that only 40% of the US electorate actually graduated from college. Is that shocking. Yeah. But you know what I realized Andrew actually a lot of the older generation of people who are like let's say for example 80 they didn't college was not as common for them. Right. They didn't all go to college but a lot of them still vote. Yeah. Andrew says the assumption that a more tannish skin mixed race America automatically means more liberal is being challenged by the stats because a lot of Latinos and possibly some Asians are drifting right. Right. And so if you take obviously the term Hispanic and Asian are huge huge umbrella terms but there's definitely both those groups are getting split. Yeah. And a lot of people don't even understand there's even like communism like geopolitical like almost these are like global historical things that if you're just the average murk and you don't even know what they're talking about. Like these are concerns from the motherland you know. Somebody saying he also said that the left is attacking the American way and American exceptionalism and pointing out the flaws and he agrees with those because he himself has always been a leftist but he also does not agree that they're not. He's they're not galvanizing anybody behind an actual grand vision that is realistic of what is to come in the future. Right. And I think that this is what a lot of people talk about when you can like. Man what was that one clip of the newsroom. Right.  America's doing this. Right. Because evil America's history did this. America's did it. We did this and this and this. America's in the dumps but it's like this guy in the article is saying yeah I don't know if that's the best thing to unite people that we all agree America sucks. I don't know. I get what you're saying because sometimes I think you have to acknowledge the problem to find in a solution but I'm not sure if it's working. Yeah he says that the right uses patriotism and capitalism and even though he as a leftist Marxist is not the biggest fans of those things. What can I honestly say that the left is using and sum it up so easily. He also talks about Hillary Clinton's thing. You know it was stronger together at first but the one that was more galvanizing but that ultimately caused her to lose was I'm with her because it was gender divisive because you know what I mean it almost like made it. So it was like you'll vote for me because I'm about to make history as the first woman to win. By the way guys this is just his article. I'm not saying I fully agree or agree with him. He wants to recenter the left and we're talking about class versus the working class versus the elites. So the only consciousness is not identity consciousness or maybe he says it's a little bit important but what's may more important is class consciousness class consciousness. Yeah and then yeah he just basically says that the Democrats seem to campaign in ways better suited to win inspiring positive op-eds in the New York Times than actual voters. Like what actual people who go to the polls care about. You have to understand like the way it works is like you have to get people who vote. It doesn't matter how many tweets you get it doesn't matter how viral the New York Times get it doesn't matter repost on IG story. It actually comes down to the vote. What do you mean Andrew this guy is trending on the Internet. Have you seen his YouTube views and his Tik Tok engagement. It doesn't matter if every kid in Soho retweets and reposts if they don't vote. Finally his ending is finally I must simply assert something the point of view that I'm not going to try to justify with empirical evidence but that I believe both I and most of you reading believe most people want to come together across the differences for the good of all rather than be divided into smaller slices based on identity categories they don't control. That was kind of a fire bar. Anyway guys make sure you like subscribe turning your notifications again we're about to get in our quick thoughts and then the comments section. This is a complicated topic we're not going to bet a thousand on this one guys you don't you're not even going to find other YouTube Asian food channels addressing this depth. Let me tell you this this is a spicy one but you want to know what else is spicy. Oh Smala Smala sauce dot com from Sichuan assistively guys I'm telling you guys there's nothing like this on the market right now made with real truffle. It's got Sichuan peppercorns it'll buzz in your mouth it goes great on everything especially pizza pasta and dumplings anyways guys Smala sauce dot com very high quality. It's our first CBG check it out shipping anywhere in the US and Canada. My quick thought is Andrew you know what's a good question is like how much does identity matter is identity being pushed to the forefront of all the debates right now. Was the smokes being screened to distract from people doing stuff in the background or is it legitimately what people care about. Man it's tough because like I think as a minority male I'm like dude identity is definitely significant. Like you probably believe in it more than Frederick the board. Yeah but I also don't know where I would rank it like is it number it's probably not the number one concern. I feel like there are other things that are more number one but it's not number 20. I actually think identity is almost like number one when it comes to like social things or like social interactions and pings. But as far as the role of government goes even me as someone who cares a lot about identity I'm like yeah I don't know if because the government would just like mess it up if they try to do it. But identity politics is still really important because America hasn't figured out and kind of like I guess rectify the past and things like that. So to be honest then people are going to be like well America didn't solve it so that's why we make it so important. So I guess that's our argument and makes sense. You know what I see is the issue right now under one side is ranking identity politics number one identity politics number one one side is ranking at number 10. We just need to figure out where does it actually rank because if it ranks higher than five then a bunch of billions of trillions of dollars needs to be like dedicated to government programs to fixing it or like getting to at least a part where we can agree to disagree. And if it's not below five legitimately then we need to table it and move it to second or third tier behind infrastructure concerns. Right. Another part that quick thought is that don't you feel like in both parties the bulk distribution or maybe just in a macro sense the bulk distribution of the electorate is being pulled by the bookends on the curve. Like you know what I mean the extremes are right. Right. Yeah. I mean a lot of elections are determined by like the most extreme 15%. It's not really what most people want but it's just what the people who all are going to go out to the polls and vote for. But do you blame the bookends for being these fiery charismatic like hucksters or whether they believe it or not. Or do you blame the bulk distribution for probably just being on Netflix being consumeristic and like being like I don't know you guys pull me entertain me and I'll just vote for one of you guys. Perhaps you get the democracy that you deserve. Yeah. Of course I will acknowledge absolutely there's inequities there's inequities in different ways and different things and like I just don't know how we're going to fix them or how we need to address them or is it about setting the place as equal as we can now. And then addressing those things with like other supplementary complementary programs later. I just don't know man I just I feel like everybody wishes they could hit a button and fix everything at one time Andrew but that's just not how it works because there's like priorities right. I mean I think a lot of my feeling is like the clock is broken right now you can fix the time and move the little hands to the right time. But if the clock gears are ultimately broken the time is going to be off eventually anyways. So you need to fix the clock but are we still disagreeing on what the clock is. Right. And how to fix it. That's the next. Let's get into the comment section guys like we said this topic is very very complicated. So guys let me know what you guys think in the comment section below and please be several we're just here to have like a good discussion about it. This guy says I'm something of a libertarian by nature socially liberal on some issues conservative on others this issue says this essay by Kevin DuBourg says much that I agree with even though no one considers me to be a leftist. And then he said yeah I'm just for equal opportunity but not equal outcome with that said education at a young age needs needs to be made made way more available to all. We need pre like pre K like solid everything dude we just need to examine like other countries how they're doing things and stuff like that and just test things. This guy said the left is so deeply invested in identity politics. Good luck putting that toothpaste back in the toothpaste. That's funny that toothpaste tube carbon pollution highway design health care education tax policy whatever issue it is the left will find racism as the root cause. Someone else said listen I'm I spent a lot of time in leftist spaces online and there does seem to be some fatigue on the left when it comes to talking about and stressing identity politics perhaps something is shifting right now. Yeah, that is interesting. I do think that you know there was a moment in time and I don't know it's weird because you know the political parties and there's these like two gigantic tents right and not everybody even within the tent like even agrees with each other right. But what happens is when one of the teams loses and usually how you know how the president for the most part like 85% of the time it's like you get two terms. Usually sometimes it switches off right you only get one term but it's almost like the other tent just shifts like left or right to try to win the next election. And that's why everybody in the tent is always unhappy. Right. So I'm saying it's just so goofy the two system but then if we otherwise we it's a parliamentary system that's more like Australia UK Canada where there's like eight parties. Right. Because they want to represent all the subdivisions of each party. Someone was saying no man the Republicans don't play identity politics man or anywhere close to a man. It's just the dams that are splitting everybody into smallest groups of oppression and ranking them in a hierarchy. I mean Kevin DeBoer did say this in his video. Yeah. Also someone was like hey well you know it is natural for people to organize around identity but maybe there needs to be some larger identity but how do you build that. Yeah. That's a good question. And then I said you know I'm a minority and I was center left and I switched to the center right for all these following reasons and they just listed out all this stuff that was basically criticizing the current version of I guess what they view as like the current version of the left versus what it was. And you know what the interesting thing is Andrew political parties are always shifting. You know what I mean like what what you were today is not there like Mitt Romney he loses so the Mitt Romney country club guys are out you know and they get bringing a new guy to Sarah Palin you know. They're like they're so excited. They're so excitable. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. You're saying like even the Republican or the Democrat of 40 years ago is like not the same as it was today. And sometimes I almost like feel like they just shift to win not even out of some sense of what they believe in. Right. They literally are just like shifting a product that they it's almost like Tim Cook versus Steve Jobs you know Steve Jobs believed in just like what Steve Jobs believed in but Tim Cook as the CEO of Apple's kind of like oh that makes a little bit more money for the shareholders. Let's do that let's not change the iPhone for like 10 times this guy said all I know is that depending on where you live You're not gonna get too far in politics if you alienate or vilify white suburban married couples We want a nuclear family one vehicle or two vehicles in a yard people still want that life a lot of them vote, too And then somebody said come on to think that only white people want that life is wrong There's a lot of young minorities second generation that want that traditional lifestyle, too. Yeah. Yeah, no That's actually honestly true And I think that when it comes to don't think of it as a white suburban life But just a well-rounded suburban life actually a lot of people want that in their minorities, too Yeah, because the one thing that I will say is lost in all this hustle culture and like get rich stuff online Andrew Is that you got to work really hard to get really rich some people? They want to work like medium hard at their job work like 45 hours a week and then really enjoy a lot of free time with their family and pursuits outside of career and Monetization right somebody was saying that you know the Republicans they just need to let me let abortion go through They need to stop hurting the climate. They need to stop targeting people with LGBTQ identities and they need to stop embracing anti-intellectualism and I will come back And then yeah, it was pretty much like can the Republicans just refocus on fiscal conservatism rather than social conservatism Because that's what I would rather vote for right and I guess a lot of these comments Andrew were from people I guess, you know, not exactly like Kevin DeBoer the writer of this article But they are like white people who are sick of identity politics that might even be like very left. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah And um, yeah, I don't know. I don't know nowadays. It's almost like everybody's reacting to everybody else So I'm not I'm almost like I don't know who cares and who's just counter punching to a punch, you know I guess it's tough because a lot of people Feel like they do the right things and they still don't get seen as equal or they don't get equal opportunity and so That is wrong But how do you solve that because as an Asian guy even I feel like obviously we talk about on this channel a lot in a Different sense, maybe not like Financially but definitely socially Asian guys get underrated like like like we're not seen as everyone else We're not treated like everyone else from men and women, you know what I mean? So I'm saying obviously I still see that identity is important But even me as an Asian guy who does suffer from my dead from having the Asian American identity right now I'm like, dang I kind of like Yeah, I guess there are I don't know. Is this the biggest issue right now? I guess if I just try harder I can I can ignore it and I can just rise above it in my mind, right? Right, but is that asking a lot from people or is that what people are asking? Minority people to do. Yeah, it's a really really good question I mean, I think that that's why this article went so viral It's like I thought they really it's funny because he's mad at the left for pointing out What's wrong without a unifying vision, but then he's sort of pointing out what was wrong with the left in general, right? So yeah This guy said it all just comes down to sports guys as much as we want to say we want to get over identity politics It seems like identities have become sports teams and sports are such a powerful force in human society Precisely because they harness primal instincts that pulse through our psyche The fact that teams can command with such deep violent loyalty based on absolutely nothing but being in the same town as fans Is an incredible basically and he was saying that the identities have broken down into sports. Yo, maybe Maybe the sports needs to bring back the unity man These players need to stop signing and get traded everywhere because now it's breaking apart America Because it used to be better when oh like the whole city could just rally behind like one person whether it's like white black Asian Whatever everybody's just rallies behind the team. Yeah, I don't know man Ultimately Andrew like we said this comment this article sparked maybe like a hundred thousand comments on the American Internet arguing back and forth I mean it was a very very complicated topic But um, yeah, my major takeaway is that like man I really just think I can see why people don't even want to vote anymore Because like you said if the narrative on both sides is being pulled by the most charismatic people on the bookends And the middle people are sort of like, oh, I don't know like I'll just kind of go because I know voting is like a good thing to do That they're they're staying uneducated waiting to be pulled by the most entertaining person. Yeah, I think that Can people even unify over like two issues like what are the top two issues for America? Can we even agree on that or at least agree on that at different like levels? Because I feel like a lot of families are concerned about safety and education, right? Because that's what you would if you had kids that's what you would care about Yeah, but then safety it also what makes it safe. There's also like drugs. There's the drug trade There's guns that also could make it less safe for children There's also like all these other policing and it's funny because policing and gun Like liberation or whatever gun rights. They're like on opposite ends. Yeah It's so crazy, but they're related to so you want more police But then you want then you wanted but you got to deal with the drugs and then it's like all this I don't know man. This guy he did point out in the article. I saw this comment They're saying in Michigan. It was really interesting because they were there was a town that was like usually mostly like old whites, right? And there was a big influx of immigrants from mostly Muslim countries, right? So they were trying to ban some of the head garb or like the religious symbols like on the buildings But then so they disagreed that was a conservative versus religious issue, right? But then when it came to banning certain books that were pushing like certain identities in the schools Those two sides that were against each other on the signage agreed So there are some values that lined up. Yeah, so it was like so What which side is who voting for now, you know, I'm saying I'm saying that it's so like complicated, right? Yeah, I mean long story short guys I just think that I think that structures like education safety, you know law and order I think they're really important I also think the government subsidized Vocational training is really important for anybody who wants to sign up and actually complete it And I also think some sort of optional like civil service military service opt-in that can get you Like some extra credits in life without needing to go to war would maybe bring some national like yes serve your country Domestically but not go to war right because that's the big thing people don't people like the benefits of going to the military They don't want to go to war for something that they don't understand, right? Yeah, oh you guys let us know in the comments down below What do you think are the main issues that people need to unite around can we ever get to a point where it's like? We're all we are all different, but we're together on this Is there anything that America can actually be together on yeah? Let us know you guys think in the comment section below Keep it civil until next time with a hop-hop boys. We out. Peace
