You just saved yourself 18 to 19 years of figuring it out. When I talk about being successful, doesn't just mean money.  And that's what we're gonna dive into. Seven really unsexy things. Today we're gonna be talking about the seven things that successful people don't that typically unsuccessful people do not. And I always get a lot of messages from people asking, how can I be successful? What are the, your three keys or four keys to being successful? And I always say this, success is not some big, sexy event that just happens in your life.  And eventually, down the road, you get to a point where you are, quote, unquote, successful, whatever success means to you. And when I talk about being successful, doesn't just mean money. It could mean happiness. It could mean peace. It could mean money. If you really want it to, it could be a great family. Whatever success means to you. And first off, what I think is really important is if we're gonna dive into this, is to really think about what success means to you. What does your success look like? For some people it might be house and cars and clothes and partying and all that stuff.  So it's important to think in your own head what does success mean to me so that I know what I'm actually shooting for? That's the important thing to think about right away. But when we're talking about successful people, what they do is they have habits, traits and qualities of things that they do every single day, day in, day out, day in, day out, that are not sexy at all but they just do them and eventually it gets them to the point where 10 years down the road because they've been doing these things over and over and over again, they're light years ahead of everybody else. It's kind of like if you were to think of, let's say you work out every single day throughout the week, Monday through Friday and you take the weekend off, right?  Eventually two, three, four, five years down the road you're going to look way different than all of your friends around you if they don't work out. And so that's the important thing to think about is it's just a bunch of little unsexy things and that's what we're going to dive into is seven really unsexy things that we're going to dive into. The first one that I consistently find across the board with people that I know when I read articles, when I read books, when I read autobiographies is that they wake up early. They do, they just wake up earlier than everybody else does. Richard Branson, who's a billionaire, wakes up at 5.30 in the morning. Tim Cook, who's a billionaire, he runs Apple. He works up at 4.30 in the morning. Howard Schultz, who started Starbucks, he wakes up at 4.30 in the morning. There's a laundry list of people that just wake up earlier than everybody else. And one of the main reasons why is because that gives you time to work on yourself. It gives you time to work on yourself.  There was a time in my life when I worked for somebody else where literally I would wake up 15 minutes before I had to leave to go to the office. I would wake up, shower real quick, throw on some clothes, brush my teeth, take some microwaved oatmeal with me on the way and coffee and I drink it and eat it on the way. And that's why I would live my life and that's why I like to call living reactively, living for somebody else, for somebody else's business. When you live proactively, you wake up 30 minutes earlier, an hour earlier and you focus on yourself, focus on growing yourself for whatever that is. If it's 15 minutes, if it's 30 minutes, if it's an hour, if it's two hours, whatever it is, you focus on growing yourself. And here's the thing, we all have 24 hours in the day and so you might say, oh, but I've got a full-time job and I've got kids and I've got a spouse. Okay, cool. There's millions and millions of people that have that exact same situation that might be in a better situation than you. So how can you make changes in your life and your schedule and everything that you do to make sure that you get done what you need to get done? So maybe what you do is you think about it and you say, you know what? Normally what I do is I kill time, I start to wind down by watching TV for an hour before I go to bed. What if you cut that hour out and wake up an hour earlier? Think about it. How much different would your life be? If you had 365 extra hours of working on yourself by the end of the year because you spent an hour a day on yourself? Something to think about and something to plan. You know, every single person has 24 hours. Billionaires and bums have 24 hours. It's what you do in that time. So if you're using time as an excuse, you might have to get a better excuse than that. I'm just gonna be honest with you. It's like Gary Vaynerchuk says, instead of saying, I don't have enough time, just start saying, I don't care enough and see if your mindset starts to change then. Where you're like, yeah, I don't care enough to wake up early and work on myself versus I don't have enough time to wake up early and work on myself. You might be like, oh, I don't care enough to wake up in earlier. It starts to make you feel different. Like, man, I really don't care enough about myself. Is that the truth? And you start diving into it and go, maybe I should spend some time. Maybe I should find 15 minutes an hour, whatever it is to work on myself. So number one is that they work on themselves. And I want you to ask yourself this question. Do you wake up early enough for you time? Do you? And if you need to write it down, write it down. You can ask yourself the question when we get done.  Wake up before the kids, wake up before your spouse. You can read, you can exercise, you can meditate, you can journal, whatever it is that you wanna do. So that's number one is they wake up early. Number two is that they read almost every single day. This is an interesting statistic. The average person reads about a book to two books per year. The average person does. The average CEO, ready? Read 60 books per year. So what you're realizing is that people who, once again, use successful and unsuccessful and you can change those words however you want to in your mind, but unsuccessful people, the average person reads one to two books per year. The average CEO who already has a business at the running, probably a family, probably a lot of stuff going on, still finds time to read more than a book per week. And you have to ask yourself, how much more hungry is that person to learn and grow if they're finding time every single week to read a book? Something to think about. It's been proven that people who read have less stress. So they spend less time on social media. They spend more time on their own development, whatever it is that they need to. And when I say they read books, I'm not talking about they just read fiction books. They read nonfiction books, they read business books, they read sales books, all of those types of marketing books, whatever book they need to grow themself, it could be self-help, psychology, all of those things, grow themself or grow their businesses.  It's not sexy to read a book every single day, that's for sure. The other thing that's really good about reading books is it actually fends off neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia, Alzheimer's. It fends it off because it's actually, I'm not gonna dive into it in this episode, it's something called neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity is your brain can change no matter how old you are.  It's not true, neuroplasticity, you can actually start to change your brain. So instead of doing the same thing over and over and over and over and over again, as most people do, they're trying to read, learn new stuff and change their brain which fends off neurodegenerative diseases. So that's the second unsexy thing that they do. The third thing that is unsexy, they exercise consistently. When you look through all of the different people who are successful, they almost all have a routine of working out before they go to work or working out in the middle of work. But usually, instead of doing it at lunchtime, they usually wake up earlier when they're up at 5.30, 4.30, whatever time it is, and they get some form of exercise. One of the things that I think that people really don't think about enough is the mind-body connection.  It's gonna probably require you to use your brain at a very high level. There's a mind-body connection. When you eat crappy food, when you don't work out, you have less energy. And that less energy, literally the most energy-consuming organ in your body is your brain. So if you think about it, the more you work out, the more in shape your body is, the better that it's running, the better that your brain will be running, which means the better output that you will have in every activity that you do. So you have to exercise consistently. So I want you to ask yourself, how often are you working out? And how often do you need to start working out in order to get the life that you want? So that is the third unsexy thing that they do. The fourth unsexy thing that they do is they write their goals down. There was a study that was done in the 70s by Harvard when people were graduating, all of their graduate students were graduating with their masters and everything. They did this big study on everybody. They found out that only 3% of students who were graduating wrote their goals down. Now here's what's important. They followed up with everybody, the people who wrote their goals down and didn't write their goals down and found out this is a true story. This is 10 years later. So in the 70s they did this and then the 80s they followed up. The 3% that wrote their goals down were 10 times more successful than the other 97% combined. So let's take that. 3% of people were 10 times more successful than 97% of the other people who didn't write their goals down combined. Why is this? There's a couple of reasons why it could be. But if you just want to be successful, shouldn't you just take a page out of these people's books and go, man, I need to start writing my goals down. I need to put a deadline to my goal. I need to figure out exactly and get very, very clear on exactly what my goals are. There's a few reasons why I think this happens. Number one, when you write something down, you can start to realize how vague it is in your mind and you look at it on a piece of paper and you go, um, okay, I need to get a little bit more clear on this. And then you get more clear. And then you look at it and you go, well, it's here, I might as well make a plan. Okay, you start to make a plan. Okay, now that I've got this plan in front of me, let me put a date to it.   This is physical, this is tangible in the world and now I've got to work through it.  So the fourth unsexy thing they do is they write down their goals. They get clear on them. They figure out what they're working towards, they make it a mission, they put a deadline to it and they start to execute on those goals.  So hit that like button and I appreciate you. The fifth unsexy thing, which I guess this maybe could be a little bit sexy, is they find mentors. The average millionaire, this is an interesting statistic, before they turn, become a millionaire, has had seven different types of mentors. That's pretty crazy to think about, seven different mentors. I know for me, my first mentor I got when I was 19 years old, I actually got two mentors in the very first year, both of them changed my life. I've had many mentors over the course of my life and some of them I paid for, some of them have been friends and this is a very important thing that I think people need to think about. Most people want to just find free mentors because everybody loves something free but here's what's really important and this is super important for you to listen to about having a paid mentor. I really truly believe in having a paid mentor because my first mentor I paid for, I paid him $500 a month when I was 19 years old, which is more than I paid in rent to have him be my mentor. And the reason why I think that's important is because number one, I take it more seriously because I'm giving him my money. I want this to work and so I'm more likely to take action and listen to him when he holds me accountable and do what he says for me to do because I want to get my freaking money's worth. I'm cheap, I'm frugal. If I'm gonna be spending 500 bucks a month at 19 years old, more than I pay in rent, I better get my freaking money's worth. That's the way that I saw it. So I was like, all right, I got skin in the game. I better do something about it. So number one, I was more serious about it. Number two, the reason why I think it's great to have a paid mentor as well is because not only am I more serious about it, he is more serious about it. We're meeting every single week. We're talking, we're going through my business plan. We're seeing what I need to do or making changes every single week and shifting. And the reason why that's important is because he feels like my success is his success and he feels liable to the fact that he better help me be successful or else he's not worth the money. Make sense? And so most people are like, I want to get free mentors, I want to get free mentors. That's great, you can find free mentors, but there's a massive, massive value to having a paid mentor because number one, you take it more seriously. Number two, they take it more seriously and they want to see you succeed. They want to see you, but I mean, both want to see you succeed. But one of them is getting paid to help you succeed. So they want to make you succeed so that therefore you continue to stay with them. So I think if you want to build an Amazon course or an Amazon page, learn from someone who's already doing a million dollars on Amazon. If you want to be a coach, learn from somebody who's already doing a million dollars as a coach. If you want to be an incredible business person, find someone who's incredible at business. If you want to have incredible marriage, find someone who's already gotten incredible marriage. You have to think about that way where it is important to actually find someone and pay them some of your money. It is okay to do that. You got skin in the game. And if you think about, if you find some, the fact of how much they can shorten your learning curve is crazy. If they've got 20 years of experience in whatever it is that you do, they can shorten that 20 years into a year or two for you, which means that you just save yourself 18 to 19 years of figuring it out. I'm real big on finding mentors and paying for them because I've seen the success in my own life. I've joined masterminds that cost $25,000 for the year. I've joined masterminds that have cost $100,000 for the year. But the reason why is because of the people that I was surrounding myself with. When you go, and this isn't to brag in any sort of way, but this is just to give you an idea of how much I actually spend on myself. When I spend $100,000 on going to a mastermind and we have three events throughout the course of the year, we meet every single week, the people who are the teachers in there just so you know, there's 22 teachers in there that have all run businesses over $100 million. So I'm getting downloads from them.  Yes, absolutely. It was freaking crazy, most of it was, but out of my pocket at one point in time. But I literally made that money back in probably six weeks from all of the stuff that I learned. Well now it's just all bonus. Am I gonna continue to sign up for it? Yeah, because this is the value that I'm getting. And so I realized you might not have $100,000 to spend on something, but can you go, all right, let me look at my finances. I'm wasting money here, I'm wasting money here, this person, I wanna run an Amazon business. This person runs a successful Amazon business, it's 500 bucks a month to learn from him. Should I hire him? Yes, because it'll shorten your learning curve. It could be something different that you wanna learn, but I highly, highly, highly recommend paying for a mentor. There's so many different benefits. I don't need to dive into it anymore, but that is a six unsexy thing, the fifth unsexy thing that they do. The sixth unsexy thing that they do, and let me actually go back to number five because I got a question for you. How will you find your next mentor? This is what I want you to ask yourself. How will you find your next mentor? Write it down. How will I find my next mentor? Number six, the sixth unsexy thing they do is they have positive self-talk. I see so many people are like, oh man, if I was more confident, I'd be successful. But you have to realize, people that are successful, they're not born confident. Confidence comes with results. They start to learn how to talk to themselves, how to believe in themselves, even when they're not getting the results that they want. And you have to realize, I know that a lot of people listening to this right now, you would never talk to somebody that you love, the way that you talk to yourself in your head. Right?  Why? Because it's detrimental to them. So why do you do it to yourself? So when you look at, I mean, some of the people that I know that are the most successful are the kindest, most humble, giving people I've ever met, but they've got confidence through the roof. They're not cocky, they're just confident. They know because they've been working on themselves and working on themselves and they talk to themselves a completely different way than a lot of other people talk to themselves. You know, and it's like the garden example that I've given many times in this podcast. You know, if you have a garden and you plant strawberry seeds into that garden, there's no way that tomatoes are gonna grow. It's impossible. The same way that if you talk negatively to you negatively, negatively in your head over and over and over again, you're not just gonna have a positive life. You know, what you reap, you sow. If you're putting in seeds of negative, negativity and negativity, you're not gonna have a positive tree grow. You have to think about that. You've gotta start talking to yourself more lovingly, more positive because you have to be your number one fan. You have to be your number one fan. So start talking more positive to yourself. And the question I have for you regarding this one is what part of your self talk needs improving? Go ahead and write that down. What part of your self talk needs improving? And the last unsexy thing that successful people do that unsuccessful people don't is they don't worry about failure. They don't worry about failure. They know going into something, they're gonna screw it up a lot of times, right? When you start a new business, nobody goes into a new business and you're like, I'm gonna knock it out of the park. I'm gonna have zero mistakes.  The only failure that I see is giving up. You don't fail when you give up. You fall over and over and over and over and over again, but it's not failure until you give up. So you have to ask yourself, how many times have you not started something you truly wanted to do because you were afraid of failing? Something to think about. Something to really start to ponder and go, huh. Yeah, there's a lot of things I haven't started because I was afraid of failure, afraid of judgment. Successful people aren't afraid of failure. They expect failure. They expect it. So do successful professional players of any sport, right? If you look at the NBA, the best players in the NBA, they miss 55, 60% of their shots. They miss more than they make. If you look at a world-class baseball player, they strike out like 70, 75% of the time. So the same thing happens in business. You're going to screw up over and over and over and over and over again, but you have to look at your failures and go, those are lessons. They're not failures. I fell, I'm getting back up, I'm going to learn from it and I'm going to keep going. The one thing that I know, and I never knew this when I was younger, but when I started a business with my best friend, somebody asked us and he said, you know, why are you going into business with Rob? And he said, because Rob's like a cockroach. Rob is resilient. Like he just does not see failure as an option. And for me, that's just the way I've always been. I've just always seen it that way. I've always had to put my head down and bash it through walls to get to where I wanted to be in sports, in school, in business. And so if that's not your personality, that's fine. You don't have to be that way. But what I'm saying is I just don't see failure as an option. And if you don't see failure as an option, you just know you're going to get to success.  But as long as you get back up, you'll be fine. Then you're going to be successful. You will eventually wake up and go, holy crap, I've built the life that I want. So the seven unsuccessful or the seven unsexy things that successful people do that unsuccessful people don't. Number one, they wake up early. Number two, they read every day. Number three, they exercise consistently. Number four, they write down their goals. Number five, they find mentors. Number six, they have positive self-talk. And number seven, they don't worry about their failures. Hey, thanks so much for watching this video. If you want to learn even more about mastering your mind, click right here and watch this video as well. You have to get up and you have to put the work in because nobody is going to put the work in for you.


I have a question for you The industry acceptance when you were like on your mountaintop The industry you especially because you worked your way up through the industry and that's the only way to get in in the industry you were The darling everything this guy does is amazing groundbreaking, etc Is that addictive because after 2017? It's not there anymore, but you're still putting out the same product The fans still like it the same. So is that something that you feel like?  I miss that or is it like now. I'm still putting out the same product Good question, and I was so I it was actually a great discovery for me Because I didn't know what it would be like because when you're there and we're taking private jets to do stadiums, which is kind of a grind It's not it's not really what got me in the comedy.  I don't I can't I don't identify with that and the industry I knew it from I mean it's I've been doing this for 37 years. So That I was in it long enough to know that when I was getting a lot of acceptance from there I was like, yeah, right like I know this is Short-lived I know this is conditional. Yeah, and I know a lot of it is just wind You know, it's not really but again, it's there is actual human beings involved I had partners in the industry who had really meaningful relationships with one really grateful to like a fat like FX Yeah, I mean FX even after my series Louis is on my website now They let me have it. Yeah, and I mean I paid for that I paid But they did that's an unusual thing I they took it down from every other service and they gave it to me and I you can only get on my website now That was a really great thing and they did that for me.   So money-wise.  You don't live in a tent suckin oxygen. It's actually not fun up there It's a goal. Yeah, but it's not a life It's a place to visit and it's a place to be seen from miles around so you can collect I have fans now from a lot of different plans all over Europe I play all over the world's because of the opportunity I was given by those people in Hollywood to get up high But now I've got I've there with me I was smart enough to collect them on my own to find a way to get directly to them Yeah, did you know miss being like shit red carpets and being in on lists and that kind of stuff I think comments are too self-aware to enjoy that to enjoy that stuff that like red carpet Love it a lot of them love it some people need that they like that's their indicator that they are live That's their indicator that they're going that they're doing something. Yeah, I think that's sad That's not that's not sustainable and it's also not based on you. It's based on a trend I got a lot of attention that didn't I didn't have come into me. Yeah, I'm proud of the work I did but I'm it's got it was like are you kidding me? Like when I saw comics looking at me going like dude enough I agreed with them I'm like it's yeah, I'm sure you were just like it was enough already Yeah, and it was like oh, you know, you don't want to be that guy, right? You know, so there's a Jerry Seinfeld to quote your boy Jerry Seinfeld was accepting an award my boy. Yeah, we set the award for something I forget what it was me peabody word on something. That's a great video. So it's like the Philly birthing It was and he's up there. He goes.  Yeah, I need these five guys You don't need that you don't need the press you don't need them saying that there are good versions of all of that Yeah, it's cool to read a review of your work. That's well-written. That's thoughtful.   That's always been clear to me So I always knew that was temporary. He said it in an opiate and Anthony interview They're like, you know, like you're doing your private jets. You got all this kind of stuff And you're like, yeah, it's not gonna last for a while. It's not if it can't. Yeah, yeah, when I first got my show at FX When I first got my show at FX John Landgraf would became my friend who runs the place He's just sent me he asked me if I'd ever seen the shield. What was their first big success great show So he sent me ten it was DVDs then send me all of the ten seasons and I lost my mind watching the shield Yeah, I watched all ten seasons and I was obsessed with every character and every actor and you can tell when they're making the show The way they walk on the set. They're like, I'm on a hit. Yeah, I'm on a hit. Yeah, I can do anything after this None of those people are working None of them Michael chick list is a monster. You can't even see a face And all those other when they were like, you know, I mean that's some of the Walton Goggins It's like fine keeps fine and work and he's a great voice Yeah, but the but they're not what they were on that show and they were winning everything and they were all Anybody was talking about and that's not a bad story. That's a good story. You get to be this shining thing Yeah, but you got to give it out. You got to be willing to give it up and dismount Like, you know, I was dismounted And I'm grateful for that because I don't know I don't know what I I don't know what it would have been like I don't know I did prepare for it. Well, that's yeah, I did but But the trip down no matter how it's done. I think it's rough. That's right. Anybody is it cool Nobody gives it up on purpose. Nobody goes like that's I've had enough. Yeah, only George Washington


Get the notes document here so we can get some attendance going. I'll throw that in chat. You can add your names into the pending document. Hopefully, I got the right file there. Well, that does another email. Seems like you got it. There we go. Good. Close my mailbox. And stop editing videos today. And let's go to our working group page here. Cool. And community and the working group page. Has Vadim joined? Hello. Hey, Vadim. Yeah, good. We have we have one of the co-chairs. Is Danny on the call by any chance? Haven't heard from Danny in a long time. Our external chair. Hope I don't see him. Haven't seen him here in a while, actually. He had sent an email that he had gotten swamped a while back. So I'm just. Checking in to see who has joined us. So if you guys don't know. Red Hat Summit has gone virtual. I've said this multiple times on previous things. And on April 27th. I'm holding an OpenShift Commons gathering. And there will be live chat and there is a prerecorded state of OKD talk. That's going to be one of the on demand videos. And if you would like to join, you just go to the link that's here. That Red Hat Summit and register for summit and you'll get an email. Reminding you that the gathering exists. It's kind of hidden in the agenda, but it's there. And it's all day on the 27th, not all day, but from 9 a.m. till 2 p.m. ish, depending on how long the AMA session goes. So if you'd like to join in there and hang out in the chat during the day. That would be great as then you could answer questions or ask questions. Just go to the page. Well, Diane, at least I plan to be there. But so yeah, so you'll see the structure of the day is much shorter. And it is getting shorter all the time. Because people tell me people will not stay the whole day. So we have some. Yeah, well, it's unfortunate, but then everything is available on demand as well. And so I recorded with Christian and Daniel and a bunch of other people. Sort of what we normally would do at a for technical talks. Those are all going to be pre recorded and loaded. So I was going to try and get an F cause one done to with Dusty or Benjamin. If I could coerce them into it. So that would be that. And Paul Cormier is supposed to be coming and doing the fireside chat with me. But so far, his schedule is not permitting him to pre record that with me yet. But there's some really good case studies and lots of lots of good stuff going on. So and all the updates are coming in for the future of OpenShift 4. So that's that's my pitch for you guys to hang out with us on the 27th. And now I'm going to check and see if Christian has joined. Not yet. So I but Christian may not be here, but Vadim is here. And I'm going to see if I just don't entire the end. All right. There you go. So I'll just motor on a little bit with my little bit. I have not I've fixed a couple of broken links on OKD.io. When we bumped it to the latest version of documentations, all the links to all the 311 specific stuff were because obviously it's not the latest. But I haven't gotten through all of them yet. So bear with me and I will get that state of talk that Christian and Vadim recorded also embedded on that site. And I promise it will all be done before April 27th and sooner if I can find some time. So how about if Vadim and Christian, if you give us an update on, I thought I heard that Vadim got a beta two out the door. So if I stop talking, hopefully Vadim or Christian can give us an update on that. That's right.  I'll be back full time on OKD in a week. But yeah, right now working on something else. So Vadim, if you could tell us about beta two, that'd be great. Sure. Beta two is out of the door. We're trying to keep a weekly schedule of fresh betas. Basically, those are promoted nightlies. There is nothing fancy about them. The only significant difference is that these are being properly uploaded to Quay now and there is an upgrade from first beta to the second one. So if you installed a beta one using a Quay images, you should be able to upgrade to beta two and we'll be adding more upgrade pass every day we upload a new beta release. I'm hoping to prepare beta three today or tomorrow and we'll keep schedule of making fresh betas in the beginning of the week, probably Monday or Tuesday before our work group meetings with fresh snapshots of things and getting them uploaded. Hey, Vadim, is there a weekly release? So are you breaking up? Oh, sorry. Sorry, can you hear me OK now? Yeah, we can hear you now, but we didn't hear your entire question. Oh, yeah, I was I was asking if there's anything that distinguishes the beta from any of the other nightly releases that we've been building from or are we just picking one of those and kind of pinning it and saying this one's going to be a beta release? Yeah, just just picking a nightly and promoting it as a beta. OK, there is nothing fancy about them except being uploaded to Quay. So it's going to be there probably forever. But we'll talk about that. I don't want them to be forever. You know, it sounds bad with that thought. Well, I would like to for them to be there for like a month, maybe two. But we want to encourage people to update often. I see, yeah. I mean, yeah, which means at some point we will have to force people to date and we don't have any other mechanism other than removing old fetus. Right. So other news, a few more other fixes have landed on this fear of this fear of no agent thing should now work in in fresh nightly from today. I didn't get a chance to test it. And I don't even know what to expect from it. So it should probably announce the correct address to the vSphere. It doesn't affect the functionality. It just appears to be properly showing the IP address, another information from the node in the vSphere. So if we could get some eyes on that, that would be lovely. Fedora-CrowS has been updated to the latest stable from March 23rd. And we now have a proper image for GCP uploaded. So installer in today's nightly should be able to install on GCP without any additional replacements and things. And we'll add testing for that soon. Once we ensure all the tests pass at this moment, there is one test which is flaking. So once we sort that out, we'll additionally verify that nightly some betas could be installed on GCP, you know, or CI. Vadim, that's different than having the F-Cars image available on GCP. That means it's in Quay, but not still not on GCP. No, that's all we need for proper GCP support. Yeah, it is on GCP now properly. Fedora has uploaded it to GCP now. Perfect. That's what I was trying to articulate. Thank you. Right. So we're also working internally on additional tests, upgrades and improving our release controller infrastructure. That doesn't really affect the installations of OCD. But we are now, we soon will be able to add arbitrary upgrade pass. At this point, it's only the next nightly. And if it fails for some reason, we currently have to do a lot of manual work to add an upgrade pass for that. Once we'll end a few fixes, we would be able to run arbitrary tests and once the signature, once this private keys would be uploaded to a location, our upgrades pass would be, our nightlies would be properly signed with the GBG key, which is trusted by CVO. So at this point, you have to add a force parameter to skip this check. But once we land this, you would be able to upgrade from web console, just like standard OCP. And in 4.5, we will also document how to run your own upgrade infrastructure and how to properly mirror releases and create arbitrary upgrade pass. That's awesome. Right. I mean, it's totally possible today, but it's just poorly documented. I think that's pretty much all we started. We are preparing an enhancement about the official state of the OCD on OCP so that other teams would be aware that it soon would be officially supported thing. The main point is to get some of the OCD bits into the master branch of the installer and MCO. Once it's done, we will prepare 4.5 snapshots and we'll have them rolling out the same as 4.4 currently. I don't think there is much community could help. At this point, except probably chiming in on what would you like to see in OCD in general? How would it be different from OCP, which are distinct features and so on? Let me find the enhancement where we are discussing that. Why don't you, if you want to share the screen, that would be. We are going to essentially reuse the existing OCD enhancement proposal and make that a bit broader and include all the things. We think OCD needs to sort of merge with master, undo the current fork situation. From there on, we should be in a pretty good place to really run everything in an automated manner and have essentially reuse all that lands in master. I will be updating this enhancement proposal sometime this week. As I said, I'm right now working on something else, but that should be done by tomorrow or maybe Thursday. Then our next thing for me is to update the proposal. As soon as that's done, then OCD truly becomes upstream of OCP, right? Well, it's not really upstream as much as a sibling distribution, because we will share the same master branch and maybe even some release branching. Yeah, it's because it's not really upstream anymore. It's the same code base, exactly the same code base as OCP, but just with a different OS base. So it's a sibling brand? Yeah, makes sense. Actually, I like that even better. As a customer of OCP, it makes it easy to transition back and forth from the lab to the data center. Yeah, I'm looking forward to that kind of synergy, too, because that will make life a lot easier for planning, scaling and prioritizing stuff. And definitely on the service level, it should really be able to do the same things. Later on, we definitely want to enable people to upgrade from OCD to a paid subscription of OCP. With the mechanism we have, you can just switch out the base OS by pulling a different machine OS content that would be R-cost based and thus upgrading from or moving, migrating from OCD to OCP. So we won't have to do it the hard way? Exactly, it should be pretty easy to do. We just have to document that and also do some testing so we can be more sure that it works out for those specific versions you're on of OCD. So that's probably a thing our salespeople will love. But yeah, it's nothing we need to focus on right now. The first thing is still the OCD GA release we want to get done. And after that, we'll get to those bits. Yeah, our short-term goal is to land the OCD installer in the upstream branches so that installer folks would not be confused by folks who are filing random issues and showing random bits of the OCD installer because right now they're not very much aware of what's happening there. And once they would see that the code changes pretty small, they would be able to experiment with new things a bit easier. So I think that's pretty much all from my side. Let's move on. Yeah, I'd like to thank you, Vadim, for preparing the VB tattoo release and also preparing the PRs to upgrade the forked branches. So thanks for all the work you put in. I second that. Yeah. We're getting there, guys. It's really happening, so I'm pretty thrilled with the whole thing. So thanks again, Vadim and everybody else. So, Charo, not to put you on the spot, but we've been talking on and off in this meeting about documentation and documenting how an OCD release is built with something we had talked about as well as getting better documentation overall. And I'll just ask because I haven't looked in two weeks. I apologize. I have been busy with other stuff as well. The documentation issues that we've been logging, how is the docs.ocad.io looking? Have we gotten out the F-COS references in and the R-COS or however I'm supposed to say that acronym out? Or is it still, are we still in limbo land with the documentation, just the baseline documentation? I think the first chunk is landed. There are still several small pieces we need to fix. I can prepare a pull request this week probably. Yeah, I've been using the OCD.io docs. As I've been working in my lab and they're much better in the last week. I'll say there may still be some. Somebody had posted an issue. There were still some issues to Red Hat Core OS. But I'm seeing less and less of those. Yeah, because I haven't looked. There was some really direct. Have you all filed many issues? How far? I haven't found any actual issues with the documentation. I'm taking some notes of some things that might need to be added or clarified as I'm adding more capabilities to my lab. Some of them around adding persistent storage. I've got Cep running now in the lab, hyper-converged in the cluster. And that's a very repeatable process. And have the registry using a persistent volume. So I've got some notes that I can share with somebody around that that would help the documentation. And now I'm working on pipelines. I need to get Tecton working so that in the lab at work, I can get developers actually functional in OCD4. Yeah, it does look good to me right now. The things that I was worried about that it was still referencing the wrong Core OS that got fixed. So that was my big red flag from the other bits. As long as it's working and you keep adding issues, I'm happy with that progress. But the other thing that we were talking about was the idea about creating some documentation on how the release itself is built. I don't think that's even... Have you done any writing or drafting, Charo, on that at all? No, I haven't even started working with either Christian or Vadim on getting me up to speed on how the new environment works to build one. I need to get the lab fully functional for a developer, and then I'll be able to rewind and spin back through the whole thing and basically start with an empty code base and build it from there. I'm not that I'm picking on you, but the other thing we talked about was auto updates for the beta that you were going to test them. Did that happen? It did, and it works. You have to add the dash-dash force, at least for the nightlies. I haven't done it yet from beta one to beta two, but my assumption is since they're also... Since they're just labeled from the nightlies that they also are missing the signatures. Is that correct, Vadim, that you still need the dash-dash force from the command line to execute an update? Yeah, right. That is a part of a huge effort to how to run your own disconnected environment entirely. So once we sort out a few issues, the OPD release controller would be first one we would be experimenting with. Yeah, and that's actually a good call-out that he just made. My environment is running as though it were a disconnected environment. Because I'm running mine as though I were actually in a data center and my CISO didn't allow machines in my data center to talk directly to the outside world. Right. The thing is all of that is happening on the infrastructure side, and it's just at some point the nightlies would be able to upgrade without force. I'm working with Clayton on that. I don't have any time frame where that happens, really hoping by the end of the month but I'll be pushing for that to happen sooner. Now, the good news is, is that with the dash-dash force, it works. And if you look at the releases in the nightlies, the ones connected with the little green dots, you can just walk up that tree. You can run an update, go make yourself some coffee or pour a drum of scotch and come back when it's done and run it again. Yep. I did something similar as well and it worked as well as could be expected. So I was very pleased. I did open a couple of issues that I came across. One of them may just be my environment, but I cannot get the console to work with the newest version of Safari. Works fine with Chrome. Worked okay with Firefox. Yeah. Interesting. I have the inverse problem. It doesn't work in Chrome for me, but it works fine in Safari. Whoa. Check your extension, I think. There's some extension I have that's not, like, cooperating. Can you just swap your consoles for me? So both of these are blogs and you can file them sooner. Pretty odd, though, but definitely a console bug. While we're on the, sorry, while we're on the topic of updates, I did notice I'm also running Beta 2 in my lab and its stable works fine. I did notice in the update channels now it has options. There's stable 4.4, fast 4.4 and candidate 4.4. Are fast and candidate a real thing yet? Or are they just placeholders for now? So the channels in console are hard-coded. We're also one of the parts for the disconnected update structure. So it's to have a server which shows which channels do we have. And in OkD we have entirely different channels. This is why OkD would be the first one where we would experiment with automatic fetching which channels do you have available because really you can set any names for those. But console hard-code once we have an OCP and hopefully very soon we will run hard-code that and you would be able to see at least stable 4 and probably nightly. So the 4 stable that's currently on the CI release website has nothing to do with the stable 4 channel right now that I see? No, stable 4 channel is what you see on Origin-release that stable 4 that's correct. And then fast and candidates we don't have it. We have nightly channel. Gotcha. This is basically a coincidence that it all works. But ThetaBarks which we will fix very soon. Yeah and I haven't tried running an upgrade from the console. I've been doing it from the command line. Yeah I initiated mine from the command line that I watched its progress on the console and that all seemed to work totally fine. Like it showed things upgrading and that was very cool. Yep it was indeed. Something else that I opened up and I've seen this across the beta one and then several of the nightlies above that is the... SED is still is logging errors trying to talk to the bootstrap node. Which is gone. Oh I have not seen that. My SED operator is currently complaining that my SEDs are degraded probably because my SSD is too crappy but they're not trying to talk to the bootstrap. That's interesting. Dig into the logs and see if maybe you see it in the logs. You don't see it by hostname. You'll see a... I dropped the logs in an issue that I opened. You'll see it failed to connect and it will be the IP address and port 2379 of your bootstrap node which is long gone. I'll take a look. The only reason I saw it was actually investigating the same thing that you were seeing was every once in a while it's reporting the SED... It's reporting them as the nodes is unhealthy. Yeah exactly. Mine just constantly cycled in and out of unhealthy. I figured it was because of some latency thing and it was tuned for enterprise-level NVMEs or something like that. I'm running mine on fast SSDs and the masters all have 20G RAM and 8 VCPUs and the nodes themselves aren't showing any resource constraints or anything. The nodes themselves are reporting as healthy. The operator is complaining and I came across these issues in the logs while I was looking to see if there was any reason they might be saying they were unhealthy because otherwise everything is working fine. Exactly. My entire cluster is great. Nothing else has any problems. The API server has no trouble doing its job. Ooh. Interesting. Yeah, I don't know. We would need to file that. It seems to file both bugs to the operator. I know we are tweaking health bit checks on Azure because their disks are usually slower so we are allowing them to reply with a bigger latency. I'm pretty sure this setting should be available externally so that you would be able to shoot yourself in the leg and increase that timeout if you have slower machines. As for the bootstrap node, it probably doesn't remove itself after the bootstrap is dead, which is a bug that should be long gone. One other update. I saw there's a working workaround now from Provene for the CRC blocker. I haven't tried it yet. Like I said, I've been fighting with the new hell that is Tecton, which I like much better than Jenkins. I hate Jenkins, but it's a whole new ballgame. Ah, man. We just finally healed our Jenkins system. I am so incredibly happy for that.  Yeah. Well, everything goes in cycles. It does indeed. Yeah, three years from now you're going to be telling me whatever the new Tecton is. So yeah, just get used to it. I'm already used to it. So we don't have any update on the CRC yet still. So that would be a wonderful thing to get working before April 27th. I know it's coming soon. Like 14 days from now, so that the link, we might have a viable link to a CRC for the OpenShift Commons gathering. But that may not be possible or not. But if it is, let me know and just ping me directly, Charo, and I'll work with you to get whatever documentation we need up on okd.io. So we can replace that link to the 311 mini shift and move on. That would be great. We talked a little bit also about reordering the repos in the GitHub to be more 4.0 centric. I don't think I saw any work done on that. But if you have a suggestion, Charo, of reordering, if you could float that by us as well, maybe as an issue. Yeah, I actually did the PIN repositories after you and Christian and I had that conversation. Somebody changed the PIN repositories to reflect what we had talked about. Okay. So maybe it did get done. Yeah, I think that it looks. I'm looking at it right now. It was. Yeah, I talked to Clayton afterwards and he changed it up for us. It's in the dungeon. Yeah, it looks good. All right. So what I don't have here are all the issues linked in here. So the update on the blocker for CRV we've done, we've added the at CD operator issues, console bugs and different browsers that everybody talked about Neil and that if you log in an issue, let me know the update. If you do encounter those bugs in the web console, for example, I would ask you to actually just file a bug on the respective repository in this example. We're supposed to do that now? Yeah, well, you can also just file it in the OKD one, but then we'd probably just move it over there. Triage it ourselves and if you want to have it directly done, you can just open it in the repository it belongs to and the team then should take a look at that. That's responsible. Neil, what I've been doing is I've been opening the issues in the OKD issues. Okay. But then Vadim or Christian or some of the other folks that are monitoring that have been really good about saying, oh, this is like F-cause tracker and so then I'll open an issue in the F-cause tracker. Okay. And that way we kind of got them all under OKD for meetings like this where we've got a single place to reference them, but the folks who are actually working on those particular repos aren't necessarily monitoring OKD. Yeah. And with us really merging with the master again, essentially all of the bugs we encounter in OKD will also be bugs in OCP or at least most of them, unless they're really specific to the platform, to the base OS. They should be exactly the same as in the OCP product. So it just makes sense to really file them at the component they sort of show up directly because otherwise, you know, we don't really want to be, we don't want to use this meeting as a, you know, bugzilla triaging thing because there's, you know, there's heaps of open issues, obviously. So, you know, but of course, if there is one thing that really consistently annoys OKD users, we'll definitely look more closely, but otherwise it will treat it just as any other bug that, you know, has a team assigned to it. Yeah. And the more hands we get in the pot, the more bugs we're going to find. Yeah. Actually, there was one bug filed by Joseph. I'm not sure if he's here today. I think today and that also that was master code. And I think Vadim already filed a PR to fix it today as well. So that was really great to see how that, you know, that feedback cycle really works for OKD already. And it'll be even better when we get to the real release. Captured that one. All right. Let's see. What else do we have here? If I missed anything else for today. The update on update. I think you gave that already, Vadim. Or is that more? That's more Charo writing, I think. It still probably hasn't been done yet. Yeah, we would need a new hacking document. I can work on that how to replace bits of OKD. Yeah. And I think Charo was volunteering to help with that as well. Yeah, absolutely Vadim. I would love to start building some of these, some of the cluster operators directly from source. Okay. By the next meeting, so I'll prepare a few basic things and then we'll see how to how to expand that. Yeah, that sounds great. If you want to start kicking some things my way. I have some spare time in the evenings. I'll I'll try them out. The instructions don't need to be super explicit because I can I'll dig around as best I can and ask you questions, but that way you don't have to create a massive comprehensive document before we start testing something. Right then. Anything else people want to talk about? I always want to talk about documentation, but that's just me. And I think with Charo's help and other people's feedback, we can get that up and running. And I don't think Dusty or Benjamin Gilbert are on the call. I was going to try and tap them to do an F cause update. Anybody on the call directly from F cause, I think, isn't he is Oh, but did the mic speak up forever? Hold your piece or jump off the call now. What's he doing here then? You joined the next one. There's been quite a few in F cause, but I'm not really that familiar with it to speak about it. Hopefully we would get some more vision about what's what's going to happen soon and we changes should we be aware of? I was in, Micah, I don't mean to put you on the spot, but I was hoping to get Dusty or Benjamin to do a state of F Fedora CoroS talk that I could pre-record and have on demand for the OpenShift Commons gathering on the 27th. So I know everybody's busy, but and it's all crazy out there, but if you have a connection to them and to connect them a little bit, that would be great. Yeah, I think Dusty is he might be working on something for Summit outside of the community track, but I think that it intersects with F cause so he could he could probably massage something for that. Yeah, that's I think that I think I don't want to put I think he's already like cause there's in Summit, there's a community central stuff and a whole bunch of us like I did a okay detox and a whole bunch of short shorts. And I think there might be a Fedora CoroS update in there. So if he's already done it, fine, just as long as the content's there and I can cross list to it. So that's kind of what I'm looking for. And I can always edit something he's done and turn it into a state of talks. I'm not trying to make more work for people. I just want to get that content. I can follow up with him to see what he's working on there. Yeah, and just, yeah, whatever, whatever he's got. If he if he's recorded already, if I can get the URL to it or the video file, I can always upload it to the on demand section for for the gathering at Summit on the 27th. That would be good because that's what I did with one of the other talks is I think it was the platform services guys recorded something for Summit their roadmap and I just shape shifted it into a state of talk for them, but I didn't have to rerecord it. But that's all I have on my crazy agenda that I use to run this meeting with, which seems to work, at least for me, hopefully for you guys as well. The one other question I had still was, I think if I'm two things actually two more questions is Azure the only place where the images are not available in their marketplace or did that get updated? No, they're still not an Azure. Okay, I'll leave that there. And then there was a blocker for OpenStack. Has that been resolved? We're still waiting for the next ignition release. Okay, that's that's the note that I have in here somewhere due to ignition and GCP. Does GCP still need to manually upload images? Or did I hear you earlier in the meeting say that they were okay? Now they had them. That should be fixed. Okay, good. What about CRC? How's that? Has anything happened there, Christian? So we've had Provence, yeah, Provence fix has been merged. But I think it's still a manual process to override those configs to allow like an unsafe at CD with only one one host. So yeah, I have to follow up with him when I get some time to talk about how we could build. Yeah, just build and as an OKD based CRC from that. Yeah, I imagine automated. Yeah, Neil, I'll send you a link. We've got an issue open in OKD about that that Provence recently responded to. I haven't had a chance to try it yet. Because he just responded a couple days ago. As soon as the Bootstrap API is up, there's a command you run from another terminal that sets that unsafe parameter for etcd and then from there on it's supposed to proceed building the single node cluster. And then from there, presumably the rest of the directions for building the bundle for CRC should work. And at that point we would have then something folks could download and run CRC against it to get a single node cluster running. Yep, that's it right there. What you've got on the screen. Yeah, so it's now we need to. Yeah, I think we need to follow up on that. Reach out to him, see how we can automate this and build CRC with those instructions. The other question I have and I think that Neil, you're going to test over and maybe we've talked about this already, but I think it does work. Can I take this out of this note? Over it has not been tested yet but should work, Neil. I think you attempted to test it and it passed. I have not attempted yet. I will leave it in. That is something I hope to do in weeks. Maybe it depends on when I can get power back in my on my servers. All right, we have we have quite a few reports about over here and we fixed several bugs. I think it should be working now. We just need a contact person for that. The number of bugs open for over it on the OKD repo do not inspire confidence. Well, you inspire confidence, Neil. Go out and test it. As soon as I have a box that isn't dead or that I can actually IPMI to, I will, I will try. I am still trying to get my servers back online after having the power outage in our data center area for weeks. Well, we'll wait. Tangential question. Has anyone tried kubivert yet? And theoretically, will it work in OKD 4.4? It should work. Yes. We're not really testing it regularly, though. Okay. Somebody tested it. My list to eventually give a try is that that's that that's really what I'm interested in seeing is a is a bare metal. Open shift environment. Is also managing my virtual machines. It's not that I don't like to wear and rev, but it'd be nice to not have to be nice to bare metal it. Yes. Christian, does the open stack IPI still require Swift or is that gone now? That's for the open stack install, right? Yep. So we removed, we removed that, but with removing it, we broke open shift because it now requires HTTP headers in the ignition spec, and that's going to land in ignition spec 3.1. It's already in the code for ignition spec 3.1 experimental, but we don't have a binary to work with that accepts that. So that's why open stack is currently not working because we're not on Swift anymore, but we don't have the ignition binary that sort of includes the replacement functionality. So open stack is now broken. Cool. Yeah, open stack is still broken. Okay. And yeah, it used to work before and we broke it with the last rebase. That's okay. Did we break it for all of open shift or just OKD? Just for open stack OKD. Okay. The OCP is not broken yet. No, actually OCP already has, this feature has already landed in ignition spec 2. That was kind of a minor regression with spec 3. It landed in spec 2 first and yeah, it has just yet to get built for or have cause. Yeah. At this point, what are we looking at for time before the next ignition version to land? Are we just waiting forever? Yeah, essentially, yes. Internally, I asked whether we could get a new build or a new release and I was told it shouldn't be too long. It's just one commit missing and that was two weeks ago or three. So yeah, I'll follow up again with that. Maybe we can get a new experimental or just a new build, a new really minor release that includes the experimental code that would already be enough for us to unblock open stack. I think the actual aim is to release ignition 2 with spec 3.1 stable. So yeah, as we don't really need to wait for that, I'll just ask for another release to be cut as is. Excellent. Yeah. Otherwise, it might be a few more weeks. I'm really not how long that's going to take. But yeah, I'll follow up on that. Okay. All right. We got 10 more minutes left. Are there other things we should be talking about? Questions people have? I'm just checking in the blue jeans. Chris has to go. Thanks for joining us, Chris. I'll see if we can get that. I had a follow-up question to the gathering at Red Hat Summit. So if I'm registered for summit, I can access the Commons gathering or is there a separate registration I have to do? It's all the same registration. I will send an email out to this mailing list and to the Commons mailing list and to every mailing list that I own explaining that. It's not wicked clear on the summit page, but there are some mentions of the gathering on the 27th, sort of a day zero event. The reason I keep asking people from this group to join is last count, I think there was close to 19,000 people had signed up. We normally have max about 500 people show up for a gathering. So I am... And they're not all... They aren't all... A lot of them aren't even aware that the gathering is happening. So they're going to get an email from me shortly if they registered already, letting them know. And so my biggest concern and my happiest thought is that we have a flood of people who have never been to a gathering and not for a gathering. And my other big fear is that there's just me and five of my closest friends in the chat answering their questions. Well, all the talks are raging on. So, you know, if you can come, that would be wonderful. And just... It's pretty much... It's an open chat, so you can answer questions, talk to each other. I have not used this platform before. If anyone's used it before, you've got more experience than me with it. All I've been doing is recording all of the briefings and talks and getting them uploaded. So it's... Really, on the 27th, it's a huge experiment for us. And we are the guinea pigs for the virtual summit, which will be happening the next two days. So... And I'm not wicked worried about it because it's a good problem to have. I just would be nice to have more... more voices in the chat than just, you know, the usual suspects and a lot of product managers. Yeah, I'm looking at Micah. So, Red Hat Summit is the 28th? Yes. The 28th and the 29th, I think, is what they said. Well, like, scheduling is really weird to look at. It is, but it's... You've got to realize every... The virtual experience is the 27th and you know, when you register... Like, if I go in and register it because I think... I might have it on the agenda now. Actually, I think it's... I don't want to... Sorry, I didn't want to do that. I wanted to hit the agenda. I think it might mention us as a pre-event. Yep, there we go. That was not there when I looked yesterday. Diane's been working a lot in the background here. Well, thank you, Diane. So hopefully we can get that there. The agenda for that day will look a lot surprisingly a lot like the summit, the gathering comments. Hey, Diane, send me a reminder link about that either in Slack or email. Yep. And I'll try to spend a good bit of time on the 27th hanging out there. Yeah. There's some great... This one here, I'll just admit it up front, is a replay from the London event. Francesco did a great talk about using open source to fight pandemics. And in London in January it was very prescient, I think. I think they already at Public Health England were already watching what was going on now. So it's a really interesting talk.  And I didn't put the names here. Okay, now I can see what I'm missing here. But some really interesting use cases for it. And then there is a good OpenStack one at BBDA that's pretty interesting about running... They're running OpenShift on OpenStack and some OpenShift on OpenStack stuff. So you can be in the background saying what we broke in OKD and OpenStack for that one. Well, I mean, I know that myself and Dan from data will definitely be present for the comments gathering. Sree, do you plan to show up as well? I do. Yeah. Okay, cool. Yeah, so at least you'll count on us, the data people to show up. Yeah, you and 18,000 others, hopefully. And it could be nobody shows up, so it could be just you and me. I'm really excited about it, as you could probably tell. And just because I think it's the way of the future that we're going to be doing a lot of these virtual things, like we do these working group meetings. And I'm very curious for people's feedback on it. So maybe at whatever the next OKD working group meeting is, if we can have a little talk about what worked and what didn't, that would be great too. Sure. Okay, so if we're registered already for Commons or for the Summit, there's nothing we need to do for the 27th. Nope, just remember to show up. And I don't know in the background what corporate marketing, because I don't normally work with corporate marketing, what they're doing to update people that it's coming or send a reminder.  So, yeah. Yeah, I'm sure all of the emails from then probably go straight to my spam box too. Yeah. Yeah, that's like the red hat partner emails. Yeah, I know, I know, I know. But anything that says Summit in it right now, listen to for a little while, because it's going to be, they're doing a very good job, I have to say, because Summit normally has three to 400 talks in it on the two days. And obviously we're not going to be running three to 400 virtual talks, but they're recording a huge amount of them in advance to be available on demand. So, I got a lot of respect for the people who have managed to herd those cats, because I'm only herding 10 talks out of 300. So, they're doing a lot more than I'm doing. I just get to be the guinea pig for the software interface. So, that's my fun. But anyways, that brings us to the end of the hour, and we'll meet again in two weeks time. What's the date in two weeks? Well, that's the 28th. We'll not meet again in two weeks time. Let's say we meet on the 25th. Christian, can you adjust the door calendar for that? I can do that. I'm probably going to do that tomorrow, though. That's fine. It's not urgent. So, we just shift the cadence by one week? Yeah. That's what we're saying. Just because there's just no way. There's just no way. No. There is no way. Yeah, I totally agree. All right. Thanks for hosting again, and thank you everybody for joining in today. All right. Take care, guys. Thank you. Bye. Bye. And James, I think it's a, we'll figure out the shift, but it's permanently shifted to the fifth, and then two weeks after that, and we meet again. We'll see.


Hi and welcome to the session, let us discuss the following question, question says what should be the value of A if the value of 2x square plus x minus A equals to 5 when x is equal to 0. Let us now start with the solution. First of all we will find out value of the given algebraic expression at x is equal to 0 so we can write substituting x is equal to 0 in 2x square plus x minus A we get 2x square plus x minus A is equal to 2 multiplied by square of 0 plus 0 minus A. We know this is the given algebraic expression and this is the given numerical value of x so to find the value of this algebraic expression at x is equal to 0 we will substitute 0 for x in this expression and we get this expression clearly we can see here we have written 0 for x in this expression now 2 multiplied by square of 0 is 0 only we know 0 square is 0 and 2 multiplied by 0 is 0 now we will write plus 0 as it is and here we will write minus A now 0 plus 0 is 0 and 0 minus A is equal to minus A only so we get value of 2x square plus x minus A is equal to minus A when x is equal to 0 we are also given that value of 2x square minus A is equal to 5 when x is equal to 0 so from these 2 statements we get minus A is equal to 5 now multiplying both the sides by minus 1 we get A is equal to minus 5 so required value of A is equal to minus 5 this is our required answer this completes the session hope you understood the solution take care and have a nice day.


Everyone's eyes are locked on the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill that was approved by the U.S. Senate on August 10th. The bill is now in the House of Representatives, where it will be debated and voted on in the coming weeks. Much of the public's attention has been unexpectedly focused on just a few sections of the nearly 3,000-page document. These sections are about cryptocurrencies and digital assets. What on earth is crypto doing in a bill designed for improving U.S. roads, bridges, pipes, ports, and internet connections? Why is everyone in the crypto community in a frenzy over this? And what does this mean for the future of crypto? This is Zach Kellman, partner at a law firm specializing in policy and regulation. He drafted a bill on crypto to Congress in 2014 and has been deeply embedded in crypto policy ever since. I interviewed him to get a deeper perspective on the details, effects, and implications of the U.S. Congress infrastructure bill. So let's address the first question. How did crypto find its way into this trillion-dollar infrastructure bill? Well, the thing is, $1.2 trillion is a lot of money, and Congress needs to find a way to raise that money without lumping it on top of the $20 trillion of debt and counting that the U.S. has already accrued. Is that senators and congressmen want to find ways to meet that standard without actually having to raise taxes because that's a political loser for everybody. So this rule, along with many other rules, is about enforcement. It's about without having to say, hey, we're going to raise the cap gains rate. We're going to raise corporate tax rates, which sends a bad market signal.  And it's a huge amount of astronomical amount, which I don't think is the case. I think it's exaggerated, and that we're going to find new ways of capturing that tax revenue. So it's a bit of a bluff, or I don't know how you put it exactly, but I think they know that the amount of revenue this will net them is not quite what they're saying it is. It's actually more that the party that they're really speaking to here is really more international sovereign debt buyers and people that buy dollars and US Treasury purchasers. It's a bit of like a shell game to show them, look, we are going to be able to pay for this. And so they've been finding creative ways to do it. The bill aims to raise $28 billion for infrastructure funding through expanded digital asset taxation and will impose broad third party reporting requirements on any crypto firm deemed to be a broker. This is where the real drama starts. A broker is generally defined as an entity who buys and sells goods and assets for others. And in the case of this bill, this definition is used broadly, so broadly in fact that it includes not just exchanges which fit the typical definition, but also miners, no validators and software developers. This blanket interpretation of the term broker could make it nearly impossible for crypto businesses in the US to comply. It's a lot of work for crypto businesses to be able to file everything and show who are all the people on the other side of the transaction. And more importantly, for no validators, miners and groups like that, it's impossible. They don't know who all the people that they're transacting with are, who was on the other side of the transaction. So functionally speaking, they can't do it. Before the Senate voted to pass the bill on August 10, two amendments were introduced in the hopes of narrowing the definition of the term broker. Both these proposals were rejected and the Senate voted to forego any debate on the subject. The interesting thing is we didn't hear any debate as to why this was the case, why they felt the need to make this so broad. On some level, it's like a boxing match, one side just punching and punching and punching with good arguments, the other side's just saying nothing, right? They're just not, they're not responding. Kelman offered a few different explanations why this could be the case. The first, simple ignorance. When senators and congressmen bring in tech people, the first thing you see is that they don't understand any of this stuff. It's like a boomer issue. They don't grasp how the internet works. They don't even necessarily grasp how Facebook works. But Kelman believes there's more going on behind closed doors that this could even be a targeted attack on crypto businesses. They're not killing crypto. They're killing the crypto industry. They're killing all the businesses and organizations around it and forcing them to have to comply with things, the miners and other groups as well. To me, it's more like the way regulation and compliance always go. We think that banks and hate regulations, they love regulations because only the big banks can afford to comply with them. The whole plan, from my view overall, is all these onerous rules make it harder for the little guy to be involved in crypto to run crypto businesses and benefit big institutions that are already paying the Lloyd a billion dollars a year to do their reporting filings anyway. I think to me, the goal is to make it so that they get as much of the crypto custed in Wall Street of these institutions as possible, as opposed to me holding the Bitcoin myself in my own wallet. I think that's kind of where the disconnect is. They don't want to kill it. They want to own it and control it. And to me, that's kind of where the two cents are. The politicians just want to be able to tax it. Are big banks really in bed with the regulators and politicians? Is this a coordinated effort to undermine the crypto industry? It's easy to speculate, but it's difficult to tell. One thing we do know for certain is that the bill as it stands is not good for crypto businesses in the US. Oh, it's very bad. I can say that unequivocally. It's not good, especially for the US. I mean, if you want to make the best case scenario, you could say, look, the US maybe attracted a lot of, it was like a spider pulling everything into its web, and now it's ready to eat them. And that it maybe decided to have lunch a little bit early and is going to push it out of the web. But that's probably the best argument I could make. The certainty that this is, the US has shown its face, so to speak. The US regulatory apparatus has said, here's what we want to do. So now there's some certainty there, and projects can say, okay, bye-bye. We don't want to deal with this. But as most of us know, the US is not the only country in the world. Will this be bad for countries beyond American borders? Yeah, it's bad because it means they lose the US market. But if you are, and again, if you read the actual amendment, they mentioned the G7, how the G7 countries are the same obligation. So we'll see if they follow suit with something like this. From my understanding, people that work with OECD, G7 groups like that, they've all said the US is the one pushing this the hardest. So the way we saw legislation for crypto play out in Europe was that EU is a crypto bear that wants to make it very difficult to do business there, but the individual countries were not. They passed all kinds of legislation to attract a lot of crypto. I think Portugal and France had exempted their on-chain transactions from taxes, things like that. So we might see other countries not follow suit. I've always thought Europe had the opportunity to attract more crypto than any other region does. I think we might actually see that. I hope we see that. Because EU countries need jobs. They have a lot of education and they can attract people from all over the world to come there and work on these. So some politicians in some of these countries may decide, look, let's do this. We've seen a little bit of that in the past with some of those laws I'd mentioned. But we don't know how they're going to react to this. And also, the other issue is, where do they land? Russia and China had their own issues with crypto. I wrote some articles for Cointelegraph a couple years ago, basically saying, look, for Russia, China and countries like that, it's like a moonshot. If they can kill the dollar and hurt themselves in the process like a headbutt, it's worth it. To adopt crypto and be pro-crypto. If they can't, it's going to hurt them more than it's going to hurt the US. However, a lot of this speculation still remains unclear for one key reason. The infrastructure bill won't go into effect until 2023. That's two years from now. A lot can happen in two years, including further changes in amendments. The bill that went to the Senate could be quite different from what's eventually enacted. There's hope yet that the sections covering digital assets will be revised. But that doesn't mean there's no cause for concern. The US government's stance has been revealed. Is it one of ignorance, deviousness, greed, or some combination of the three? Only time will tell. Here at Cointelegraph, we'll be following these events very closely. So hit that like and subscribe button and stay tuned for our next Cointelegraph interview.

Hello everyone! In today's video, we are diving to the process of getting a work visa and finding a job in Luxembourg. That is the world's richest country in the world. As per purchasing power parity, that is the money that generates each individual. Did you know that you can start earning a high salary of at least 4,000 euros per month in just seven days? And the best part is, there's no age limit, and you don't need an agent or consultant to apply. Yes, you heard it right! Did you know that Luxembourg is a fantastic country with many well-paying job opportunities. Due to its low population, Luxembourg has recently started giving work visas to people from outside of Europe as well. This means there's a growing need for both skilled and unskilled workers. Even if you're new to the job market, you can apply for a visa with relatively few requirements, and many people get approved. We'll get you covered about the visa process later. First things first, let's talk about the benefits of working in Luxembourg. One of the biggest advantages is the high visa acceptance rate. Once you secure a job offer, your chances of getting a Luxembourg work visa are very high. Plus, the approval process is quick, typically taking between 7 to 15 days. Compared to other European countries, there's less competition for jobs in Luxembourg, and English is widely spoken, making it easier for expats. Now let's talk about the financial aspect. Workers in Luxembourg get paid really well, with salaries starting at 4,000 euros per month for regular jobs. If you have a high-skilled job, you could be making over 100,000 euros annually. Even unskilled jobs pay well, with minimum monthly earnings ranging from 2,500 euros to 3,000 euros. And here's a bonus. Transportation in Luxembourg is completely free for buses, trains and trams. Luxembourg's location is another major perk. Surrounded by France, Belgium and Germany, it's like living in the middle of a cool neighborhood. And since it's part of the Schengen area, you can travel freely to 26 European countries with just one visa. But how do you find these lucrative job opportunities? You can search online on LuxembourgADM, the national employment agency that provides extensive information on professions and shortage, and releases quarterly reports on skill shortages. Gichit.Lew, which is the official government portal that offers updated information on occupations experiencing shortages, and CETIFOP, European Center for the Development of Locational Training, that provides reports on priority occupations with specific data for Luxembourg. Also, they are worth mentioning, Eurostat, that is the statistical office of the European Union, and the Luxembourg Ministry of Economy website that offer comprehensive data on skill shortages across the EU. So you may ask, what are the hot areas in which there is a shortage of workers in Luxembourg? As per Gichit and CETIFOP, this is the hot shortage list. In the financial services sector, there's a demand for investment bankers, wealth managers, risk management specialists, and compliance officers. Moving on to information technology, the need is high for software engineers, cybersecurity specialists, data analysts, and IT project managers. In the healthcare industry, there's a significant demand for doctors, nurses, psychologists, and pharmacists. For engineering and manufacturing roles, the need is for mechanical, civil, electrical, and production engineers. And in other areas, there's a call for professionals in logistics, the hotel and tourism industry, legal experts, and multilingual professionals. Some of the top companies in Luxembourg include CFL Group, Amazon, and POC, among others. If you're looking for unskilled jobs, the hospitality and tourism industry is your best bet. Hotels and restaurants are always on the lookout for housekeeping attendance, cleaners, bartenders, and more. You can find job listings on official websites or job portals like LinkedIn, jobs.lu, and indeed. Now as we promised, let's dive into the Luxembourg work visa process. Well, hold on first-year seats because we have some fantastic news. Europe has introduced a revolutionary system called the EVA system, which ensures that your visa gets approved in lightning fast speed, usually within 24 to 72 hours. The approval rate is incredibly high. And guess what? There's less competition for jobs compared to other countries. It's like hitting the job jackpot. First off, you'll need to find an employer who can provide you with a job offer. Once you have that, your employer will represent your application in Luxembourg. They'll need to obtain a certificate of right to hire third country nationals from the National Employment Agency. Once approved, you'll need to apply for a visa through VS Global, for example. That is the world's largest visa outsourcing and technology services specialist. So if you're from a non-EU country and planning a trip to Luxembourg, you'll need a valid travel document along with a visa issued by a consular authority from one of the Schengen area countries. What's the Schengen area, you ask? It's a zone comprising 26 European countries where visa boulders can move freely without border checks. Pretty cool, right? So depending on your nationality, you may or may not need a visa to enter Luxembourg. Now, when it comes to visas, there are different types, depending on the duration and purpose of your visit. Just like other EU countries, Luxembourg offers a variety of visas for foreigners looking to spend time in the nation. The main options include short-term C visas for stays of up to 90 days, long-term D visas for stays exceeding 90 days and the coveted EU blue card only for high-qualified workers for maximum flexibility. Now, when it comes to working in Luxembourg, the D visa is often the go-to choice for foreign workers. While the EU blue card sounds fancy, it actually comes with stricter requirements, making the D visa a more suitable option for many. If you're applying for a Schengen visa, you'll need to do so at the consulate of the country you plan to visit. If you're visiting multiple Schengen states, you'll apply at the consulate of your primary destination or the country whose external borders you'll cross first. Typically, you'll need to apply for your visa in the country where you legally reside. If there's no Luxembourg consulate there, you'll submit your application to the consulate with territorial competence for visa applications. Oh, and one more thing. If your documents aren't in German, French, or English, you'll need to get them translated by a sworn translator. It's a bit of a process, but hey, rules are rules. Make sure you have all the necessary documents, including a copy of your valid passport, CAE, proof of qualifications, and other supporting documents. Initially, you'll receive a one-year visa, which can be extended later on. Now, let's talk about taxes. We know it's not the most exciting topic, but it's crucial to understand how much tax you'll be paying if you work in Luxembourg. Don't worry, we've got you covered. Simply open your Google browser and search for Luxembourg Tax Calculator. Click on the link and voila! You can enter your annual income to get an estimate of your tax obligations. It's always better to be prepared, right? And that's a wrap on Luxembourg work visas. I hope you found this video helpful. Remember to subscribe to the European Hub channel for more updates.

Hey guys, today we are making vegan Caesar dressing. This stuff is so delicious. When someone who has not yet sworn off dairy says, you know it's pretty good. All right, here we go. We'll add one cup of cashews, raw soaked. Let them sit in water overnight or if you forgot to do it, throw some boiling water on top for a couple minutes. Next, we'll add one half cup water, four tablespoons of flavorless oil. We're using grapeseed, some lemon. We're gonna use one quarter of a whole lemon, peeled. You can use an equivalent amount of juice if you want, but we like to keep that dietary fiber in there. All the nutrients are in that kind of white pithy. One tablespoon of Dijon, two to three cloves of garlic. Here's one giant clove, one teaspoon of soy sauce, one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, two teaspoons of capers, and salt and pepper to taste. Shake, shake, crack, crack. We'll throw the top on and blend at the highest speed. Your righto mix will go for about 30 seconds and then give it a try. But when you do, don't try it with your finger. The key to trying dressings and sauces is to try it on the thing you're gonna eat it on. Tastes totally different.  It shouldn't be bland. So ours did not have a bite. Going back, we're gonna add a little more garlic, a little more capers, and a little more pepper. Give it a bite. Your Caesar dressing's got a taste, right? And once it does, it's got to be cold. Throw it in the fridge and let it chill. And hey, while you're at it, throw a couple plates in the fridge too. Caesar salad on a cold plate. Throw some more mayonnaise lettuce into a bowl. We don't have a stainless steel mixing bowl, like how they do at Italian restaurants, but we do have tongs for mixing. Just got one and we're super excited about it. You want a lot of dressing on your Caesar salad, but you can always add more. So don't go overkill. Sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on there. We got a video for that upper right corner. Link in the description. Fresh ground pepper to make it real fancy. We just got really, really fancy without really trying. Wait, I think I just ruined the moment. Oh, it's been a long time since I've been to a formal lunch. Guys, give this Caesar dressing a try. It's so, so good. And guys, subscribe to our channel if you haven't already. Hit that bell to get notified. If you appreciate videos like this, hit that thumbs up. Thank you so much for watching, and we will see you in the next one.
