Lately, Infinidat has been on a bit of a super cycle of product announcements, adding features, capabilities, and innovations to its core platform that are applied across its growing install base. CEO Phil Bollinger has brought in new management and really emphasized a strong and consistent cadence of product releases, a hallmark of successful storage companies. And one of those new executives is a CMO with a proven product chops who seems to bring an energy and an acceleration of product output wherever he lands. Eric Herzog joins us on theCUBE. Hey man, great to see you. Awesome to have you again. Dave, thank you. And of course, for theCUBE, of course, I had to put on a Hawaiian shirt as always. They're back. All right, I love it. Watch out for those Hawaiian shirt police, Eric. All right, I want to have you start by, maybe you can make some comments on the portfolio over the past year.  You know, the Infinibox SSA, which announced last year. Infiniguard, you made some substantial updates in February of this year. Real focus on cyber resilience, which we're going to talk about with Infinisave. Give us the overview. Sure. Well, what we've got is it started really 11 years ago with the Infinibox. High end enterprise solution, hybrid oriented, really incredible magic fairy dust around the software and all the software technology. So for example, the neural cache technology, which has multiple patents on it, allowed the original Infinibox to outperform probably 85% of the all flash arrays in the industry. And it still does that today. We also of course had our real, real incredible ease of use. The whole point of the way it was configured and set it from the beginning, which we continued to make sure we do, is if you will, a set it and forget it model. For example, when you install, you don't create lones and raid groups and volumes. It automatically and autonomously configures. And when you add new solutions, AKA additional applications or additional servers and pointed at the Infinibox, it automatically again and autonomously adjust to those new applications, learning what it needs to configure everything. So you're not setting cache size and queue depth or stripe size, anything you would performance, so you don't have to do any of that. So that entire set of softwares on the Infinibox, the Infinibox SSA2, which we're of course launching today. And then inside of the Infinigard platform, there's actually an Infinibox. So the common alley of snapshots, replication, ease of use, all of that is identical across the platform of all flash array, hybrid array and purpose-built backup secondary storage. And no other vendor has that breadth of product that has the same exact software. Some make a similar GUI, but we're talking literally the same exact softwares. Once you learn it, you know all three platforms. Even if you don't have them, you could easily buy one of the other platforms that you don't have yet. And once you've got it, you already know how to use it because you've had one platform to start as an example. So really easy to use from a customer perspective. So ever since I've been following the storage business, which has been a long time now, three things that customers want. They want something that is rock solid, you know, dirt cheap and super fast. So performance is something that you guys have always emphasized. I've had some really interesting discussions over the years with Infinidet folks. How do you get performance? If you're using this kind of architecture and it's been quite amazing. But how does this launch extend or affect performance? Why the focus on performance from your standpoint? Well, we've done a number of different things to bolster the performance. We've already been industry leading performance. Again, the regular Infinibox outperforms 80, 85% of the all flash arrays. Then when the announcement of the Infinibox SSA, our first all flash a year ago, we took that now to the highest demanding workloads and applications in the industry. So whether that's the super high-end Oracle app or SAP or some custom app that someone's created with Mongo or Cassandra, we can absolutely meet the performance between either the Infinibox or the Infinibox all flash with the Infinibox SSA. However, we've decided to extend the performance even farther. So we've added a whole bunch of new CPU cores into our tripart configuration. So we don't have two array controllers like many companies do. We actually have three. Everything's in threes, which gives us the capability of having our 100% availability guarantee. So we've extended that now. We've optimized, you put additional Infiniband interconnects between the controllers. We've added the CPU core. We've taken, if you will, the Infinibox operating system, neural cache and everything else we've had. And what we have done is we have optimized that to take advantage of all those additional cores. This has led us to increase performance in all aspects, IOPS, bandwidth. And in fact, in latency, in latency, we now are at 35 mics of latency, real world, not hero number, but real world on an array. And when you look end to end, if I'm Mr. Oracle or SAP sitting in the server and I'll look across that bridge, of course, the sand and over to the other building, the storage building, that entire traversing can be as fast as 100 microseconds of latency across the entire configuration, not just the storage. Yeah, I think that's best in class for an external array. So what's the spectrum you can now hit with the performance ranges? Can you hit all the aspects of the market with the two Infiniboxes, your original and then the SSA? Yes, even with the original SSA, in fact, we've had one of our end users who's been first an Infinibox customer, then Infinibox SSA actually has been running for the last two months, a beta version of the SSA too. So they've had a beta version and this customer is running high-end Oracle Rack configurations. So they decided, you know what? We're not going to run storage benchmarks, we're going to run only Oracle benchmarks. And in every benchmark, IOPS, latency and bandwidth oriented, we outperformed the next nearest competition. So for example, 57% faster in IOPS, 58% faster in bandwidth. And on the latency side, using real world Oracle apps, we were three times as better performance on the latency aspect, which of course for a high-end, high performance workload that's heavily transactional, latency is the most important. But when you look across all three of those aspects, dramatically outperforming, and by the way, that was a beta unit that didn't of course have final code on it yet. So incredible performance angle with the Infinibox SSA2.  And you've always emphasized ease of use. Can you double click on that a little bit? How do you think about that capability? And I'm really interested in why you think it's different from other vendors. Well, we make sure that, for example, when you install, you don't have to do anything. You have to rack and stack, yes, and cable, and of course point the servers at the storage. But the storage just basically comes up. In fact, we have a customer, and it's a public reference that bought a couple of units many years ago, and they said they were up and going in about two hours. So how many high-end enterprise storage arrays can be up and going in two hours? Almost, I mean, basically nobody but us. So we wanted to make sure that we've maintained that. When we have customers, one of our big plays, particularly helping with CapEx and OpEx, is because we are so performant, we can consolidate. We have a large customer in Europe that took 57 arrays from one of our competitors and consolidated to five of the original Infinibox, 57 to five. They saved about $25 million in capital expense, and they're saving about a million and a half a year in operational expense. But the whole point was as they kept adding more and more servers that were connected to those competitive arrays and pointing them at the Infinibox, there's no performance tuning. Again, that's all ease of use, not only saving on operational expense, but obviously, as we know, the head count for storage admins is way down from its peak, which was probably in 2007. Yet every admin is managing what, 25 to 50 times the amount of storage between 2007 and 2022. So the reality is the easier it is to use, not only does, of course, the CIO love it because both the two of us together probably been doing storage now for close to 80 years would be my guess. I've been doing it for 40. You're a little younger, so maybe we're at 75 to 78.  Ever? No. And I can't think of one either. So guess what? The easier it is to use, the CIOs know that they need storage. They don't like it. They're all, these days are all software guys. There used to be some mainframe guys in the old days, but they're long gone too. It's all about software. So when you say, not only can we help reduce your CAPEX and OPEX, but the operational manpower to run the storage, we can dramatically reduce that because of our ease of use that they get. And ease of use has been a theme on the software side ever since the Mac came out.  Now it's easy to use. And every time the Linux distribution comes out, someone's got something that's easier and easier to use. So the fact that the storage is easy to use, you can turn that directly into, we can help you save on operational manpower and OPEX. And CIOs, again, none of which I've ever met are storage guys. They love that message. Of course, the admins do too, because they're managing 25 to 50 times more storage than they had to manage back in 2007. So the easier it is for them at the tactical level, the storage admin, the storage manager, it's a huge deal. And we've made sure we've maintained that as you've added the SSA, as we brought out the Infinigard, as we've continued to push new feature function, we always make it easy to use. Yeah, kind of a follow-up on that. Just focus on software. I mean, I think every storage company today, every modern storage company, is going to have more software engineers than hardware engineers. And I think Infinigard obviously is no different. You got a strong set of software, it's across the portfolio, it's all included kind of thing. I wonder if you could talk about your software approach and how that is different from your competitors. Sure, so we started out 11 years ago when Infinigard first got started, that was all about commodity hardware. So while some people will use custom this and custom that, and having worked at two of the biggest storage companies in the world before I came here, yes, I know it's heavily software, but our percentage of hardware engineers' softwares is even less hardware engineering than our competitors have. So we've had that model, which is why this whole, what we call the set it and forget it mantra of ease of use is critical. We make sure that we've expanded that, for example, what we're announcing today are InfiniOps focus. And InfiniOps all software allows us to do AIOps both inside of our storage system with our Infiniverse and Infinimetrics packages. They're easy to use, they come pre-installed and they manage capacity performance. We also now have heavy integration with what I'll call data center AIOps vendors, Bertana, ServiceNow, VMware and others. And in that case, we make sure that we expose all of our information out to those AIOps data center apps that they can report on the storage level. So we've made sure we do that. We have incredible support for the Ansible framework, again, which is not only a software statement, but an ease of use statement as well. So for the Ansible framework, which is trying to allow an even simpler methodology for infrastructure deployment in companies, we support that extensively and we added some new features, if you will, what I'll say are more scripts, but they're not really scripts that Ansible hides all that. And we added more of that, whether that be configuration, installations that a DevOps guide, which of course just had all the storage guys listening to this video have a heart attack, but the DevOps guide could actually configure storage. And I guess for my storage buddies, they can do it without messing up your storage. And that's what Ansible delivers. So between our AIOps focus and what we're doing with InfiniOps, that extends of course, this ease of use model that we've had and includes that. And again, all this again, including we already talked about a little bit cyber resilience day within Infinisap, all this is included when you buy it. So we don't piecemeal, which is you get this and then we try to upcharge you for that. I mean, we have this incredible pricing that delivers this cat-back as an OpEx, not just for the array, but for the associated software that goes with it, whether that be neural cache, the ease of use, the InfiniOps, Infinisap, you get all of that package together in the way we deploy from a business now perspective, ease of doing business. You don't cut POs for all kinds of pieces. You cut APO and you just get all the pieces on the one PO when we deliver it. I was talking yesterday to a VC and we were chatting about AI and of course, you know, everybody's chasing AI. It's a lot of investments go in there, but the reality is AI is like containers. It's just getting absorbed into virtually everything. And of course, last year, you guys made a pretty robust splash into AI Ops. And then with this launch, you're extending that pretty substantially. Tell us a little bit more about the InfiniOps announcement news. So the InfiniOps includes our existing in the box framework, Infiniverse and what we do there. By the way, Infiniverse has the capability with the telemetry feed. That's how we could able to demo at our demo today and also at our demo for our channel partner pre-releafing. Again, 100, 100 mics of latency across the entire configuration, not just 100 mics of latency on storage, which by the way, several of our competitors talk about 100 mics of latency as their quote hero number. We're talking about 100 mics of latency from the application through the server, through the sand and out to the storage. Now that is incredible. But the monitoring for that is part of the InfiniOps packaging. We support again with DevOps with all the integration that we do to make it easy for the DevOps team, such as with Ansible, make it sure for the data center people with our integration with things like VMware and ServiceNow, the data center people who are obviously often not the storage centric person can also be managing the entire data center. And whether that is conversing with the storage admin on, we need this or that, or whether they're doing it themselves. Again, all that is part of our InfiniOps framework and we include things like the Ansible supporters as part of that. So InfiniOps is sort of an overarching theme and then an overarching thing extends to Aops inside of the storage system, Aops across the data center and even integration with, I'll say something that's not even considered an infrastructure play, but something like Ansible, which is clearly a red hat, software oriented framework that incorporates storage systems and servers or networks in the capability of having DevOps people manage them and quite honestly, have the DevOps people manage them without screwing them up or losing data or losing configuration, which of course the server guys, the network guys and the storage guys hate when the DevOps guys play with it, but that integration with Ansible is part of our InfiniOps strategy. Now I'll shift gears a little bit, talk about cybercrime admin. It's a topic that we've been on for a long time. I've personally been writing about it now for the last few years. I mean, periodically with my colleagues from ETR, we hit that pretty hard. It's top of mind. And now the house just approved what's called the Better Cybercrime Metrics Act. It was a bipartisan push. I mean, the vote was like 377 to 48 and the Senate approved this bill last year. Once President Biden signs it, the law is going to be put into effect and you and many others have been active in this space. Infinidat, you announced cyber resilience on your purpose built backup appliance and secondary storage solution Infinigard with the launch of Infinisafe. What are you doing for primary storage from Infinibox around cyber resilience? So the goal between the Infinigard on secondary storage and the Infinibox and the Infinibox SSH2, we're launching it now, but the Infinisafe for Infinibox will work on the original Infinibox. It's a software only thing. So there's no extra hardware needed. So it's a software only play. So if you have an Infinibox today, when you upgrade to the latest software, you can have the Infinisafe reference architecture available to you. And the idea is to support the four key legs of the cybersecurity table from a storage perspective. When you look at it from a storage perspective, there's really four key things that the CISO and the CIO look for. First is a mutable snapshot technology. Unarmful, can't be deleted, right? You can schedule it, you can do all kinds of different things, but the point is you can't get rid of it. Second thing, of course, is an air gap. And there's two types of air gap, logical air gap, which is what we provide and physical. The main physical air gaping would be either to tape or to, of course, what's left of the optical storage market. But we've got a nice logical air gap and we can even do that logical air gapping remotely. Since most customers often buy for disaster recovery purposes, multiple arrays, we can then put that air gap, not just locally, but we can put the air gap, of course, remotely, which is a critical differentiator for the Infinibox that it's a remote logical air gap. Many other players have logical local, but we're going remote. And then, of course, the third aspect is a fenced forensic environment. That fenced forensic environment needs to be easily set up so you can determine a known good copy to a restoration app you've had, a cyber incident. And then lastly is rapid recovery. And we really pride ourselves on this. When you go to our most recent launch in February of the Infinigard with Infinisave, we were able to demo live a recovery, taking 12 minutes and 12 seconds of 1.5 petabytes of backup data from Veeam. Now that could have been any backup data, Commvault, IBM, Spectrum, Tech, Veritas. We happen to show it with Veeam, but in 12 minutes and 12 seconds. Now on the primary storage side, depending on whether you're gonna try to recover locally or do it from a remote, but if it's local, we're looking at something that's gonna be one to two minutes recovery because the way we do our snapshot technology, how we just need to rebuild the metadata tree and boom, you can recover. So that's a real differentiator, but those are four things that a CISO and a CIO look for from a storage vendor. Is this immutable snapshot capability, the air gapping capability, the fenced environment capability, and of course, this near instantaneous recovery which we have proven out well with the Infinigard. And now with the Infinibox SSA2 and our Infinibox platform, we can make that recovery on primary storage even faster than what we have been able to show customers with the Infinigard on the secondary data sets and backup data sets. Yeah, I love the four layer cake. I just want to clarify something on the air gap if I could. So you got a local air gap. You can do a remote air gap with your physical storage. And then you're saying there's a, I think, I'm not sure I directly heard that, but then the next layer is going to be tape with the CTAM, the Chevy Truck Access Method, right? So while we don't actively support tape and go to that, there's basically two air gap solutions out there that people talk about either physical, which goes to taper optical or logical. We do logical air gapping. We don't do air gapping to tape because we don't sell tape. So we make sure that it's a remote logical air gap going to a secondary DR site. Now, obviously in today's world, no one has a true DR data center anymore, right? All data centers are both active in DR for another site. And because we're so heavily concentrated in the global fortune 2000, almost all the Infiniboxes in the field already are set up as in a disaster recovery configuration. So using a remote logical air gap would be easy for us to do with our Infinibox SSA2 and the whole Infinibox family. And I get you guys don't do tape, but when you say remote, so you've got a local air gap, right? But then you also, you call a remote logical, but you've got physical, you've got a physical air gap, right? Yeah, so that's- Yeah, they would be physically separated, but when you're not going to tape because it's fully removable or optical, then the security analysts consider that type of air gap a logical air gap, even though it's physically at a remote site. I understand. You've spent a lot of time with the channel as well, I know. And they must be all over this. They must be really be glomming on to the whole cyber resiliency. You know, what are you saying? I mean, are they, did they set up, a lot of the guys do and manage services as well? I'm just curious. Are there separate processes for the air gap piece than there are for the mainstream production environment? Or is it sort of blended together? How are they approaching that? So on the Infinigard product line, it's blended together, okay? On the Infinibox with our Infinisafe reference architecture, you do need to have an extra server where you create an ice-scuzzy private VLAN. And with that private VLAN, you set up your fenced forensic environment. So it's slightly more complicated. The Infinigard, it's 100% automated. On the Infinibox, we will be pushing that in the future and we will continue to have releases on Infinisafe and making more and more automated. But the air gapping and the fenced forensic network are as a reference architecture configuration, not with, you know, click on a GUI. In the Infinigard case, our original Infinisafe, all you do is click on some windows and it just goes and does. And we're not there yet, but we will be there in the future. But it's such a top of mind topic. As you probably see, last year, Fortune did a survey of the Fortune 500 CEOs. And the number one cited threat at 66%, by the way, was cybersecurity. So one of the key things storage vendors do, not just us, but all storage vendors, is need to convince the CISO that storage is a critical component of a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy. And by having these four things, the rapid recovery, the fenced forensic environment, the air gapping technology, and the immutable snapshots, you've got all of the checkbox items that a CISO needs to see to make sure. That said, many CISOs still, even today, still don't realize to a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy. And that's something that the storage industry in general needs to work on with the security community. From a partner perspective, the value is they can sell a full package. So they can go to their end user and say, look, here's what we have for edge protection. Here's we've got to track the bad guy down once something's happened, or to alert you that something's happened by having tools like IBM's Q-Radar and competitive tools to that product line that can traverse the servers and the software infrastructure and try to locate malware ransomware. Again, to the way all of us have Norton or something like Norton on our laptop that is trolling constantly for viruses. So that's sort of software. And then of course, storage. And those are the elements that you really need to have an overall cybersecurity strategy. Right now, many companies have not realized that storage is critical. When you think about it, when you talk to people in the security industry, and I know you do, from original insertion intrusion to solution is 287 days. Well, guess what? If the data sets thereafter, whether it be secondary, InfiniGuard or primary within InfiniBox, they're going to trap those things and they're going to take it. They might have trapped those few data sets at day 50, even though you don't even launch the attack until day 200. So it's a big deal of why storage is so critical and why CISOs and CIOs need to make sure they include it day one. It's where the data lives. Okay, Eric, wow, a lot of topics we discovered. I love the agile sort of cadence. I presume you're not done for the year. Look forward to having you back and thanks so much for coming on today. Great, thank you, Dave. We of course love being on theCUBE. Thanks again and thanks for all the nice things about InfiniGuard. You've been saying thank you. Okay, and thank you for watching this CUBE Conversation. This is Dave Vellante and we'll see you next time.


So what are you doing this evening? I don't know. I don't have any small talk. I didn't become a developer to do small talk. So literally, why became a developer? Because I can't. I mean, we can sneak out and just replace ourselves. And action. So, so, so. We haven't used it in the last two episodes. We're using it now. I'm going to use it a lot. So, so, I want to talk about clickjacking. Oh, yes. Now, this is a hack that was discovered in, like, the 2000s. Yeah. And this is where you'd have a setup like this. You have a button that's part of a website. And then you have this, which is an iFrame to another website. Mm-hmm. Another website. Some other website, some other social media site. And the idea is you click that, and it will like this page. It's bringing an interactive element from another site onto your site. And yes, and because it's an iFrame, any clicks that happen in there are fully, will be owned by the iFrame rather than the parent page. Yes. To the point where, in order to drag this around, I've had to add this little bit here, which is part of the parent page. Because if I do that, the click goes into the iFrame, and I can't control it. So, clickjacking was this thing where people would sort of abuse this feature by tricking people to like a page, buy something, or generally interact with a site that they don't think they're interacting with. And what would happen is, so, you know, they would put a button like over the top, like this. But then make it...  What? This is great. And then you'll do it. You want to click this? Click me, please. I would fall for it. I would fall for it.  But it would give it pointer events none. So when you click that, that would go down into the iFrame and you've liked the page. Another way of doing it would be to put the like button on top, but bring the opacity of it down. So you're clicking on there, but you're actually clicking on the iFrame, which is on top. Oh, various other tricks you could do by visually obscuring it like that since tricking users to click it, they don't realize it's... Although that content is controlled by the other site, you've done something to it to the point where it's no longer legible. Another one would be to put a message there and just encourage the user to click on this little bit here and the context of the actual button is gone because you've covered up certain bits. So this was a problem. Right, this is a problem that they had to fix. And they fixed it in 2009, 2010, depending on the browser. And this was the solution. The xFrame options had a... And this is another one of the things in the web platform that should have been the default, but because it wasn't there at the start. Just like cause. Just like cause and like no cause and blah, blah, blah. So you put this header and that says, I cannot be in an iFrame. Okay.  Oh, bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep. Suddenly like button. No, but what you didn't know was there was an iFrame over the top of like Amazon and those moles were appearing in the places where you would navigate your way through Amazon and buy a thing. Wow. And that was one of the hacks. Like you could actually get the user to navigate around the site and if you knew roughly where the buttons were going to be. And that's pretty amazing. Yes. So this was the solution for that. But the social button thing works with iFrames to the stay, right? They want to be iFrames. So what you'll see that happens now is you click on the like button and it will open a new tab or a pop-up window that is just to the social media site, to whatever site. And that is where you have to complete the final interaction because that's when that's the only time it's safe. So basically the embedder took responsibility for this at that point. Yes, exactly that. Embeddy. Yes. And then because it's safe then because the other site can't render anything over the top. But people are asking now, can we fix this? Can we make this actually work so you don't have to go off to the other site? Can we make this safe? And in order to do this, I would need to, as the owner of this button, I would need to confirm that nothing has messed with the rendering of the button in any sort of way, like nothing's on top of it, but also I haven't been blurred, I haven't had filters applied, I haven't had anything that is going to trick the user into doing something. I mean, it's interesting because this button probably is still an iFrame, so it hasn't really have any context of what the other site is doing to that iFrame. Exactly. And that's, I mean, the Intersection Observer already does this a little bit because it has this feature where, oh, it's the first API, that's what I want to say. Intersection Observer is the first API I've heard of that can penetrate iFrames in a way because it can track your visibility even if you're inside an iFrame. Yeah, there's a couple of APIs that do, that give you information about iFrames, as I, the Ancestor Origins property that will as an iFrame tell you what the origins of the pair of iFrames are. Oh, I didn't know that one. Interesting. That's the security feature, but as you say, Intersection Observer, why do you know so much about this? Look who wrote the article. That's me. It's Mr. Serma. Yes, as you say, Intersection Observer will tell you when an element, oh, you've got a lovely demo here, is visible or not, and it works in an iFrame. So even if you can scroll the iFrame out of you or you can scroll the content inside the iFrame out of you and both times the Intersection Observer will be able to tell you if you are visible, which was made for stuff like ads, you just want to know if they're actually visible so you get paid for it. Yes, lazy loading. Lazy loading as well, too. Stop starting animations until they come into view. It's one of my favorite additions to the web, actually. It makes a bunch of stuff a lot simpler. Apparently, a resize-observer is better. Resize-observerism is amazing. I think this came out a year previously, so it didn't make it into our competition. If you don't know what we're talking about, watch our HTTP203 Christmas 2018 feature rundown. You're great at these. Oh, I've got to get those likes and subscribes. Right, Intersection Observer is looking at solving the click-jacking problem. Cool. All right. So this is an Intersection Observer V2, which is in Canary right now, and the experimental web platform features flag. OK. So this is what Intersection Observer looks like right now. You and I, do you know what? I don't like this API pattern. No, I'm not a big fan. It's super weird. It feels inside out. Yeah, and you always have the entries, but most of them you only get one entry. One entry? Yeah, I find it a really weirdly designed API, but we'll gloss over that. This is the new bit. Options. In the options, you say you want to track visibility. Now, Intersection Observer calls this thing visibility, which is what the original Intersection Observer already Yes, I think this is badly named. I mean, Intersection Observer is kind of correctly in both bad name because, yes, it tracks intersections with your viewports, but it's also kind of called visibility. But that to be fair, you can use Intersection Observer to track actual intersections even off-screen by changing what it is relative to. So fair game, but still it's very confusing. This is now called visibility. Yeah, what this means. And I think they might rename it, but they're kind of like, I said, I think this is badly named, and they said, well, what name should it be? And I went, oops, I don't know. Luredness. Yeah, and I said something like that. Definitely not being Clip Jack. I don't know. I don't know. So I don't know. You have to supply the delay property because this is a more expensive bit of computation. You have to give it a delay, which just debounces the amount of times you hear about it. Why do I have to go? Why does this set? How low can I go? That is as low as you can go. 100 is lower. You can go higher, but 100 is lower. Well, you can be nice and tell the browser, I don't need to know this often. Yeah, this is low priority. Okay, that's actually kind of nice. And then in your do-da-thingy-Bob callback here, in the entries, it tells you is visible, and it will give you that callback when it changes. Yes, well, the opposite. It's not obscured. Yes, so it's great API. So I think it's really good. The naming aside, the functionality is really good. And what I'm going to do is enable it. All right, there we go. Call. Okay, so now it's the same as before. There's just a bit of extra code running in here that knows when it's being clicked or whatever. So you can see I can sort of move this around and everything's fine. Oh, cool, not obscured. So I'm going to try the hack now where I'm going to put the button over there and I'm going to change the opacity. And as soon as I change the opacity, it's like not. Can't tell for sure, I guess. They're being conservative about this, aren't they? Absolutely, and that's what the aim of this is right now is to it doesn't care so much if there's false positives. Yeah. They don't want false negatives, right? Yeah. They want it wants to play on the same side. So they want to have a hundred percent of success rate of they want to get all the obscured cases at the cost of maybe saying you're obscured when you're not actually obscured. Yeah, yeah. And the same goes for things like filters. So if I bring the blur up here, as soon as it's blurred to any degree, because you don't know what that button actually means, but it knows that it's been messed around with. And same here, as soon as there's an intersection, it's like nope, so you can't do the trick where you encourage someone to click there. And one thing I thought was quite nice, I'm going to move that to there. If I apply some blur to this, you'll see eventually, eventually, as it gets blurry, it triggers. Because it's a tiny bit of blur overlapping into. Yes, so it's not just intersecting at a layout level, it's intersecting at a paint level. That's really good. And that's because this element is appearing on top. But as soon as I make that one appear on top, it's fine, because it's on the top. Cool. And yeah, that's really it. That's really interesting. So it's designed to detect things like clip path, scrolling, anything that would be Yeah, I'm guessing they spend a good amount of time going through all the possible ways you can mess around with obscuring, and hiding, and pretending to be there when you're actually not. And there's more work to do. It's still a work in progress. I filed a few bugs recently where I found someone's like, oh, I can actually do this, and it doesn't realize. So those will be fixed before launching. But the idea is we can start bringing back this behavior that we used to have before. We figured out it was actual embeddable, composable widgets. Yes, so you can click like, it will actually work, or even buy now button, and it will do the right thing. You know that you can detect if this is a legit click or not. Exactly. So that's the important detail, is the owner of the button knows what's happening to it. And it's a totally. The responsibility of the embeddy to make sure the click is legit. Yes. Now they can at a reliable level. Because before that, this was practically impossible. Like, no way to tell if there was content on top, I think. Exactly. Yes, there was no way of doing this beforehand. This is entirely new. So you said this is incanary right now. Incanary right now. Do we have any signals from other peoples? I feel like this is something that historically, Apple would be interested in, and securing these kind of things on the web. There's definitely interest. It's something that the owners of these kind of buttons are very interested in. Yeah, I can imagine. So it's sort of popular with them. Right now, I think the other part is happy for Chrome to experiment and to prove that the API can actually work and be done and be fast. Because you don't want just using this API to break the performance of the web. That's true. And that's what we're working on now. I have no more content. It's all done. That's it. Cheat of paper, done. That was it. What did you want another half an hour episode? Yeah, tell me about something. He doesn't say cut. What do we do?


Kalimera or Kalispera. Greetings from Hellas aka Greece. The aesthetics committee has decided it was time to visit a land where the word all your power has its origin. So I packed my darker glasses, my wrinkled shirt to enjoy the lovely Greek people. Great sight, I'm only 20 kilometers from Delphi and the sun. At your expenses though, for I won't be able to publish a video for two weeks apart from this one then. But I'll be back in a fortnight.


Listen to Herbert Marshall as the man called X. Wherever there is mystery, adventure, intrigue, in all the strange and dangerous places of the world, there you will find the man called X. The country, the men involved, must remain anonymous and unknown. The reports of those intimately concerned are safely buried in the most secret governmental files. Someday, perhaps, their story will become part of history. Today, only three living men know the story, the unbelievable story of what really happened during Operation Cabal. There they are, Ken. The latest reports from the city of Parampa. I think you'd better read them. Sure, Chief. Looks like a familiar pattern, all right? Routing the streets, impending national emergency, unscheduled military maneuvers. There's a revolution cooking, all right? Has to be. And Parampa's the capital of one of the most democratic countries in the Southern Hemisphere. Emilio Horado is one of the greatest presidents she's ever had. Ken, if a country like that becomes totalitarian... Yeah. It might be the beginning of a tidal wave that could drown the world. Yeah. What's the bureau done about it? Oh, I've got one of our best men down there, Bill Verdeer. Oh. What's Bill come up with? Not too much. General Jose Lopez seems to be the leader of the opposition. Lopez? Oh, Chief of General's staff. The man who wanted them to side with Hitler during the last war. That's right. What's President Horado doing about it? He hasn't been seen in public for over a month. He may be sick, dead, held in Communicada with anybody's guests. Oh. So what are we going to do about it? Nothing we can do, Chief. What? Until I get to Parampa. Senior Ken Thurston. That's right. Who are you? My name does not matter. This way I have transportation available. Suppose I'd rather take a cab. The choice is not up to you, senior. Uh-huh. I noticed your power was closing in on us. Well... Let's go. I take it you're General Jose Lopez. You're quite correct. Why all this special attention? It is customary to give special attention to an important personage visiting our country. It becomes essential when that personage is the man called X. Speaking about an unknown quantity, General? To the contrary. There is very little we do not know about you. And as a military man, I am naturally interested in the movements of a potentially dangerous enemy alien. Since when are your country and mine at war? They are not at the moment. What you're trying to say is that if, as and when, a revolution takes place here, I should keep my nose out. It would be much healthier. And if I don't? I believe the usual penalty covering such a situation is execution. Well, we have arrived, senior. The residents of El Presidente Emilio Horado. You are free to go in. Yeah. Thanks for the lift, Lopez. I'll see you around. Si. What did you wish to see him about? Well, that's my business, isn't it? President Horado is not here. Then where is he? He's on a secret vacation for his health. What's wrong with him? A physician's relationship with his patient is a confidential matter, Herr Thurston. Yes, yes, yes. Now, you will excuse me. I'm quite busy. The guards will... You came here to discuss a possible revolt against the government, Herr Thurston. Did I? That is what a friend of yours in the anti-rum is just informed me. Oh, it's nice of him. General Lopez? Nine. A hair... ...bagon, said Schmidt. I didn't tell the doctor tiller nothing, Mr. X. It was the president's guards who called him. Oh, I swear it by the father of my father, Norie. Then what's the devil you're doing there in the first place? Well, where else would I go when the chief told me you wanted my inviolable services here in Paranta? You could have gone to the Rio Hotel where he told you to go and waited for me there. What for? So I could have used you as an undercover man. Now, get in touch with our agent here, Bill Vadir. He's at a flower shop on the Cayel Venta. Tell him I want to talk to him tonight, after I see President Urado. President Urado, but I thought you didn't know where he is. I have a hunch Dr. Tiller was lying, but Urado was right there in the presidential mansion. But they got guards all around the place. Some years ago he showed me a passageway in the walls leading from his apartment to a garden as cottage. But maybe the guards know about it, too. You could get all shot out or something. Oh, yeah. Could be the size of this. Now, if I can find that... Yes, but I didn't expect this kind of a reception committee. That is quite understandable. By the way, the lovely nurse is Aline Valos. And I am Don Carlos Alvarez. We are both at your service here. If you mean that, why doesn't Senator Valos put away the gun? Of course. You understand I could not afford to take chances than your person, not with the El Presidente in his present condition. What is Emilio's condition? He is in the bedroom. Why not a certain for yourself? I will waste a way to... what's happened to him. Dr. Tiller's diagnosis is one of a complete breakdown through overwork, both physical and mental. And you don't agree? It does not matter what I believe. I am only his nurse. Yeah. Who are you, Don Carlos? An artist, Senor Thurston, appointed by Dr. Tiller to furnish El Presidente with some form of vocational therapy. I see. President Urado has spoken quite often of his good friend, Cain Thurston. And I would deem it an honor to work toward the preservation of my country with a man called X. Hmm. What about you, Senator Valos? I will do anything to prevent this land from being destroyed by totalitarian ideology. All right. We've got less than 48 hours to do it. 48 hours? The 27th of May, the logical day for the revolution to take place. Of course. This country is Independence Day. There will be traditional military maneuvers providing a perfect opportunity for General Lopez to seize the citadel, the government's nerve center. And the revolution will be over. Unless we can learn who the leader is. The leader? But you already know him. General Lopez. No, I doubt it. Lopez is brutal and vicious, yes, but he doesn't have the imagination, the knowledge it was necessary to soften a great democracy until it was ripe for dictatorship. Again, I agree, Senor Thurston. It must have taken the most careful planning over a period of years. Consumered skill in organization, the most thorough knowledge of geopolitics and psychological warfare. No, whoever is behind this, man or woman, is quite likely a genius. But if it is not Lopez, who could this leader possibly be? That's quite a question, Elena. And we haven't much time to answer it. Believe me, Mr. X, your worries are all over. Once Zell Schmidt puts his nose to a grindstone, he really sinks his teeth into it. So you got in touch with Bill Vardier? You bet. And he knows all about who's the leader in the back of this revolution and stuff. Here's the flower shop now. He said if he wasn't here, he should make ourselves a... Black Room. Mr. X, it's Bill Vardier. Bill, can you hear me? Who was it? Bill. Leader. Recording. The leader. Who is it, Bill? Who is the leader? He... recording. It... it... Bill Vardier. One of the best men I've ever... With that photograph. There's a recording on it. I think it was a clue to the leader. Bill wanted us to play it. Mr. X, listen to that voice. Yes. But it don't make sense. What would Bill Vardier be doing with a record of that grown-up's voice? Well, listen to me, and we'll almost destroyed the world, Peter. Oh, sure, but that's all that buried stuff. He bombed himself out in Berlin over seven years ago. Did he? What? The label on that record. In Bill's handwriting. It says the recording was made here in Tarantino. Just two days ago. Friends, as we celebrate Memorial Day this weekend, millions of cars will crowd our streets and highways. In every car will lurk an unwelcome passenger. A grim menace who will turn pleasure into tragedy if he can. The menace is death or injury in a traffic accident. So keep on the alert every instant. Not only for yourself, but for the other fellow. Be extra careful, won't you? Drive as if your life depends on it. Because it does. Two of the man called X starring Herbert Marshall with Leon Balasco as Pagon Zell Schmidt hangs over the capital city of Paranta in South America, threatening to start a tidal wave of totalitarianism that might engulf the entire hemisphere. And the only clue to the possible identity of the unknown leader of the revolutionary movement is a recording made in Paranta only two days before. A recording of the voice of Adolf Hitler. So you've got some new information, Don Carlos. That is correct, Senior Thurston. The plan is brutal, cold-blooded perfection itself. The military maneuvers will be held upon the open fields outside the city tomorrow. All prominent government officials loyal to President Urado will view them from the headquarters in the city then. And I suppose the Air Force is going to put on an exhibition of bombing. But instead of using mock targets on the fields, they'll bomb the citadel. Exactly, Senior. The Air Force holds the balance of power. Who's up ahead of it? Of course. Col. Luis Montalvo. How does he stand? Apparently he has been playing along with the revolutionists. But I believe that secretly he is in sympathy with President Urado. I think we'd better find out. Please, Mr. Rex, how crazy can we get walking right into General Lopez's army camp? We're putting our mouths right into the line. We're not entering the camp. Colonel Montalvo has his quarters right here, outside the gates. Please come in. Sure. You came to see Colonel Montalvo? Is he in? Yes, in this room. Who killed him, Elena? You? No, señor. He was my betrothed. Oh. He asked me to come here this afternoon. He said he had the most important decision to make. I walked in and found him there. What was the decision about Elena? He did not say. Only that he'd concerned an important speech to be made in the officer's ward room at 3 o'clock. We were going to listen to it here on the intercommunication system. I see. It's a little out of three right now. Do you mind if we turn the speech on? No. No, I do not mind. Mr. Therson. Yeah? It's like a chief. Now that Montalvo's dead, we can't even get the air force on our side. Looks like I came down here just in time for the funeral. I wouldn't be too sure of that, chief. Don't forget President Jurado. On the other side of this panel. I'm ready, Ken. Then let's go. There's Jurado's bedroom. Come on. Ken, that needle. Let's have it, doctor. Let's have it, doctor. I'm afraid not. The hypo's empty. Then killer's already used it on herado. And we don't know what it is. I think you were on this table. What is it, Ken? Morphine. Then they have been keeping him doped. Keeping him on ice until they were sure they didn't need him anymore. Yes, but they finally made up their minds.  Then there's nothing more we can do to stop that madman from coming back into power. D-Day, all right? Yep. There's General Lopez Command Post down on the edge of the field. Next to the section they've marked off the regs and the civilians. That's right, Chief. H-R. Unless you want me to use this gun. You fool! President Jurado. If this is not possible, the drug Dr. Tiller assured me it would kill him. He forgot to tell you he was carrying an antidote in his medical kit. What? Emilio, who our door is still a sick man, but he's far from dead Lopez, and he was alive enough this morning to call a secret meeting with his loyal Air Force men and his leader we're trying to do. Perhaps, but you will not believe so. I guess that does it all right, Mr. Rex, huh? We'll finish except for the shouting. Not quite, Pager. There's still little leader to take care of. Hey, what about that crazy man? He's in the next room waiting to speak to his troops after their splendid victory. He is? Then you know who he is, huh? Sure. Called himself Don Carlos Alvarez. Don Carlos? But he couldn't be. He didn't even look like him or talk like him. All the physical disguise was good enough, to change the man. The egomania. The big lion boasting technique that was used in minecumpf. It came through in everything he said and did. But, but, but... He's out on the target field. He must have heard.  Those bombs were your answer. I will never have to worry about him again. I'd like to believe that, chief. Mores have been tried before, and the ghosts of men like that still haunt us. No, there's a different answer. It was given to us 2,000 years ago. Do unto others, as ye would have them do unto you. Here is our star, Mr. Herbert Marshall. Thanks for being with us. And my thanks to Lucille Meredith, Will Wright, Bill Conrad, Paul Freese, and Ted Von Elst. And now, ladies and gentlemen, we have the man called X for taking our leave of the air for a while, and we hope it won't be for too long. I should like to express thanks to the many other players who have helped to put this program over through these many months. Also to our writer, Sidney Marshall. No relation, by the way, though. I'd like it to be that way. And then to the two regulars, Leon Velasco, who you know so well as our Pagan, and Will Wright, our chief. Then there are our music master, Milton Charles, our announcer, Hal Gibney, our sound effects wizard, Floyd Caton and Monty Fraser, our engineer, Leon Frye, and Leon Frey, our engineer, Leon Frye, and Betty Collison, our sweet secretary. Now I come to our producer director, Jack Johnstone, whose skill and gentle understanding have guided us all through the years of offering you the man called X. Good night. The man called X, starring Herbert Marshall, is a J. Richard Kennedy production. All characters and incidents on tonight's program through a word fictitious and denny resemblance to actual characters or incidents is purely coincidental. Hal, give me speed. This is NBC, the national broadcasting company.


Baziya, tell us what's going on here today at Kennedy Park. Oh, exactly. We're working with different kids from different church. They're coming to help how clean the Kennedy Park and then it'd be different. It's good to know about other cultures, multi-cultures in Maine. And some people from New York, some people from New Hampshire, can educate different areas for the kids. But we'd love to be with them to see what we have in Maine. And what are they doing here today? Today we're going to do in-cleanings. In this other group now they're doing a paint and some then they're picking the trash around the Kennedy Park. And what do they learn from this experience today? It's like sometimes you gotta think about yourself, but think about other. And then I believe even people who live in New Hampshire, in the Kennedy Park today, they're going to learn something different. Because if you live in Kennedy Park and you drop the trash and somebody came far away to pick it up, it may be a little bit different. And I believe from today up, some people they're going to start to realize that's not the way it's supposed to be. But we'll try to see what it can come out from there. Roger, you brought a group up from New York, from Jamaica, Queens. Tell us about that trip. It was a seven-hour trip. Our young people are very excited about giving back to community. And our union, which is in prizes at the Eastern Seaboard, they are excited. They planned this event where we were coming to Portland. And our young people would be the hands and feet of those who needed help. And so we're here this weekend for that. Why come all the way up to Portland, Maine, take a seven-hour drive instead of doing work in Jamaica? I'm sure you do work there, too. Yes, we do work there. But youth ministries allows our young people to get involved in every and anything. And just the idea of getting out of the city and giving back in another part of the world was exciting to a lot of our young people. So they came. What kind of work are they doing here today? Today, they're cleaning up around the Kennedy Park area. We have some over right now helping to prune up the grassberry beds with cultivate the community. And we have some others around the city working at the Red Cross, working up at some camps up in Freeport. So we have over about 50 kids here from New York City who are participating in different places. And what do they get out of this? What they get out of this is an opportunity to say, to be excited about giving back to the community and to know that they have been part of something bigger than their own community. And what I want them to get back is they can go back to their community, their local community, where they live and worship and do the very same thing. Tell us a little bit about the community policing organization here at the park. The community policing program in Kennedy Park is a Portland Police Department program. And Portland Housing has asked us to be in their neighborhood in an attempt to keep crime down. We are comprised of myself, the coordinator, and our senior lead officer, Jeffrey Drewan, who spends his time between East Bayside and Munjoy Hill working with the issues that have come up down here. We do a lot of crime prevention, landlord-tenant issues, and kind of do a little bit of everything down here. And what's the benefit of having an office like this in the community? It allows the community to have easy access to the police. We are very involved with the families and the kids specifically down here. And so we get to know them, we get to know the issues, and we are really able to do a lot of prevention work and outreach for the families. It brings the police department into their community. So we're a friendly face, and they're comfortable coming to talk to us. So instead of a barrier between the community and the police, there's more of a cooperative effort? Absolutely, yes. And what's your involvement in today's activities? So about two weeks ago, Bozia came to me and shared that he had some youth ministries that were interested in doing some volunteer work and asked if I thought Kennedy Park could use some help, and we said absolutely. So I helped organize all the areas that need some cleanup, reached out to the local providers, including Portland Housing Authority, Mainstay, Cultivating Community, and we all collaborated to get some muscle and TLC down here in Kennedy Park. So I really just tried to help bring it all together. We're here now with the Compassion Now rally. We're spread out all over the state, really. We've got about 13 or 14 different projects going on, just trying to share random acts of kindness and showing the light of God here in this local community. And what are they doing here at Kennedy Park? We're doing park cleanup right now, park beautification. We're helping with trash, removing shrubs and bushes, things that need to be taken care of. And how many people are involved in it? Right now, we have 900 people that registered for the event, and again, they're spread out all over the state. And talking about the project overall. The project overall, I think, is one that's geared towards for us anyways, is to take our religion and to make it a relationship and not just with God, but with our community and to get out and show people that we're people and we're here to help and we're here to make a difference.


So just looking at the top question here, and it's one that I am totally interested in. Do we have any data on how people feel about these processes, like sort of say two years afterwards? So, you know, this is exactly the kind of thing I'm interested in as well. You know, obviously some people immediately they might have a reaction, but is there any data on how those people then take that away and how they feel about it and think about it when a certain amount of time has gone past? Well, you know, we have, well, there is some data from, for example, City of Reykjavik, my service they've done and stuff like that, you know, about those processes. And they have, I mean, what we've had is, you know, largely very positive in terms of, you know, 60, 70 percent of people liking it and sort of 80, 90 percent of people wanting more. But I think, you know, sort of the proof is a bit in the pudding, you know, in terms of, for example, with Reykjavik, you know, participation was not going since 2010, it keeps on growing every year. So that must mean, you know, that, I mean, that is at least a really strong indication that people are interested in this and the people who start participating, at least not all of them stop. Can I maybe add a little bit to that? There is a trust issue here. But I think we can, we could easily see that to begin with the trust in the government, both city and country government, was very small. When projects are continued, even if they're small, but people see that they actually mean something, trust increases gradually. And I think it cannot be underappreciated the value of patience and time in a process like this. Great. Felix, do you have anything to add to that? Yeah, I think I can just underline what, what Jorn just said. I think the difficulty of this is that the one is that obviously constitutions always run a little bit as a background, right?  So you will have to have a little bit more of kind of proxy data, people using the courts, are they happy with the way that governments and the different bodies work to run it and trust is obviously one of the key issues. And I think trust is very difficult to measure in, in meaningful ways. But if you just take, I think it depends also on the outcome of the constitutional process and what I've been witnessing in, if you compare Iceland and Chile, for instance, Iceland, I think only correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it was a 47% voter turnout in the, in the referendum that's relatively low for Iceland. So I think that the moods maybe over the, over the two years kind of switched a little bit from maybe a little bit of euphoria to something that was not so euphoric anymore. And the reasons for that I think were complex and the same happened in Chile too, after the process failed, people were relatively unhappy or basically became disinterested in this question. Meta level legal question and that you will use proxy indicators to see probably how a constitutional system is working. Great. Okay. One final question just for now.  According to data and surveys, society is witness today a high level of political polarization. How can participatory processes avoid being negatively affected? Maybe if I start this round. So, so in our experience, you know, by actually bringing the both sides of an arguments into a debate where, you know, you know, we both have, you know, the actually people looking at each other's arguments, which is actually one thing, they're breaking things out of an echo chamber, but also it's, you know, it's turned out that if people feel represented in the dialogue, so let's say we have an idea about something and you have a thousand people who are for it and the points for it and maybe 10 people against it, you know, they're totally against it. And if their view is represented as well, I think that's a way to decrease polarization in a way, but obviously it's a really big battle and we're just starting. Yeah, the point of participation is to have people who do not have the same views actually talk to each other. And one of the main reasons for polarization is the tendency which social media actually supports that people tend to talk only to those that are agree with them and that leads to polarization. That's sort of a psychological psychologically underlined thing. But participation, if you are able to bring together and manage a dialogue, a civil dialogue between people who actually are totally opposed in the views, it might not change the views, but it's going to make them more likely to respect each other and that reduces polarization. Yeah, I completely agree. I think that it follows on a little bit from what you said earlier that policy makers need to be also a little bit literate about what different tools do in different contexts. So I think that if you have something, mass participation processes are very good for idea generation and for broad coverage. But that's only one aspect of participation. I think that deliberation is a very crucial point, what John and Robert mentioned, that people need to be able to talk to one another. And so it's very tricky and very complicated to merge these two polls. And I think there are technological solutions, maybe, part of them. But we always have to be very careful to be very mindful of what different tools do, how people use them and be very nuanced and in the way that we plan, why, where and how we use digital tools in these processes. Yeah, so I think that's a good question. Great. Well, thank you so much, all three of you, for your presentations. I think we should give a special shout out to Robert, who most of you won't know how much effort Robert put in to making lots of really cool stuff happen in Reykjavik. There was you have no idea there was going to be a choir. There was going to be a drinks. You know, it was going to be amazing. And he put so much work in. And unfortunately, we haven't got to take advantage of it. So obviously a very, very big and special thank you to Robert as well for not only the presentation and for helping us out, but for all of those plans that unfortunately we couldn't take part in.


You need to understand the hierarchy differences between product manager and product owner. Product owner is at the end of the totem pool. If you line up all the different titles of product management career, it looks like this. Product owner, product manager, senior product manager, group product manager, direct product, VP product or chief product officer. If a company gives you a title as product owner and they also give another person title as a product manager, it's very likely product managers will manage the product owner or mentor the product owners. For some companies, they don't have those two titles. They merge both of them into the same title, which is product owner. In that case, you need to play the both role of product owner and product manager for your current company.

Narcissists are low class. Narcissists are of a low and inferior standard quality or social class and I'm not talking about money. I'm talking more about their behaviors. Because many of them lack skills and education they're irresponsible. They don't respond to the best of their ability. They lack the ability to do something well. They're uneducated. They show a poor level of education and of their awareness of themselves. They lack conscious knowledge of their own character and feelings. They're emotionally unstable. They show a pattern of behavior characterized by intense, unpredictable and sometimes rapid changes in their mood, emotions, thoughts and feelings. They do not have strong coping mechanisms to allow them to properly deal with criticism or rejection so instead they take it out on other people or they will lash out at you emotionally or even physically or they will even try to abandon you first because they're very afraid of criticism and rejection. They're very insecure about their reality so they have to force it under other people instead of just letting people be themselves because that would be a threat to the illusion and that is what they're trying to maintain which results in them being very insensitive to where they show no concern for your feelings. They're offensively impolite and bad-mannered. They're out of control. They act outside the boundaries of the lowest socially acceptable behavior. They may have money and success. They may appear stylish and sophisticated but it's just an image because their behaviors do not line up with who they're portraying themselves to be. They're deceptive and misleading. They give an appearance or impression that is different from the true one. To manipulate you into thinking that they share a common characteristic or quality to make you think that they are stylish, admirably smart or elegant when the reality is very different because they're actually some of the most unsophisticated people you could ever meet. They lack refined worldly knowledge and tastes. They don't possess or display significant experience or knowledge about life in the world so it's very easy to shock or deceive them to where they find something you said or did to be unpleasant or offensive even if you never intended to cause a negative reaction from them which reveals what is beneath the surface because they get mad over little things. They're very petty. They focus on things that are of little importance. They turn molehills into mountains and it's all their emotions. They see their feelings as facts. Whatever they feel becomes the truth which is crazy because their feelings can change from one moment to the next which is why they're so unpredictable you never know what they're going to do because their actions or behaviors are not grounded in reasonable logic. It depends on however they feel which is why they're so reckless and impulsive. They're heedless of danger and of the consequences of their actions. They're ignorant. They're thoughtless and careless. They act on sudden desires or inclinations rather than careful thoughts which results in a lot of bad decisions which they tend to blame on the people around them. They never take any responsibility. It's always someone else's fault and this is partly due to how they were raised but it's also due to societal values. The world has changed a lot over the last few decades. What's morally acceptable today is very different to what was morally acceptable back then. People are more tolerant of degenerative behaviors. Things that are damaging and destructive not only to themselves but to other people as well. Narcissistic behavior has become the norm and it's being promoted on social media. It's encouraged by social conditioning and peer pressure and it's being pushed on the younger generations. Teens and young adults are more concerned with club culture rather than their future. They're more concerned with gathering up bars or nightclubs which is very harmful to their health and it's not a good start to their lives. They study or work 9-5 jobs every day until they go out on the weekend and then they're drinking alcohol using recreational drugs and having one night stands with people who are not even concerned about them or their future people who are not even concerned about themselves because if they were they wouldn't be doing that to their bodies especially not on a consistent basis but this is what they do often several nights a week until one day they get old and then they decide to settle down but by that time it's too late because now no high value person would want them because they never took the time to work on themselves or to prepare for their future they just wasted their lives away and yet many of them have the arrogance and audacity to think that they can still get a high value person when they never even did the work they never took the time to focus on their mental emotional or physical health so they have all of these health issues many of them have personality disorders or mental illnesses they don't practice self-love or self-care so they're very messed up with the mind and if you're around them you will get caught up in it and it will have a lasting effect on you it will bring you down because they're not going to feel comfortable around you unless they can project their emotional issues onto you and get you to smoke cigarettes drink alcohol or do drugs and then it's just going to have a negative effect on your life it's going to cause all sorts of problems for you and then in the end they're just going to blame you even though you were never like that before you had a lot of things going on before you met them but they pulled you into all the wrong things they ruined you but they will never take responsibility for their actions they don't even take responsibility for their own lives and again they will always blame the person they victimized and they may even start a smear campaign and tell everyone it was your fault when maybe you were just lonely and you needed companionship and they were there for you at the time and it's like the boiling frog syndrome you didn't realize what was happening until it was too late but this is what these individuals have to do to survive they never took the time to work on themselves so they learned to relate people instead they became leeches or bottom feeders these opportunists who seek quick profit at the expense of other people which really are the lowest of the low because they just sponge off other people without thinking about the damaging effects that it might have on you because they're only thinking about themselves and what they can gain they're low class people so they can only bring you down with them and if you look back at the time that you spent with them you will realize that you lost a lot of your time health money and status they took everything away from you they drained you of everything you had and it's likely that they just moved on to another person and did the exact same thing again because they know how to move through society without getting caught and a lot of these behaviors are being promoted people are being encouraged to do these things and it's always at expense of generous hardworking people people who we need more of in society today because we're experiencing societal collapse and population decline a loss of cultural identity and social complexity as an adaptive system which is tearing society apart because now people are focusing on insignificant or relevant things which we never noticed before things which are taking the focus and attention away from what really matters in life and it's the result of the societal and governmental systems that have been created in the pursuit of social justice to where generous hardworking people are having to pay the price for other people's bad decisions laziness almost fortune and this behavior is being encouraged so there's no incentive for people to act right and there's no justice when these behaviors are conducted which is why narcissists are everywhere they thrive in today's society because they were never taught that their behavior is wrong they've always been devoid of accountability because they're surrounded by enablers and even if you don't enable their behavior society and governments will so there's just no reason for them to stop they're going to continue with whatever that seems to be working for them whatever is being promoted and encouraged which will result in a lot of transactional relationships divorces and single parents as well as a rise in unsolved crimes and injustice because people are getting away with it and they're getting away with it every day around the world because no one is putting a stop to it and it's because people are giving their attention to insignificant or irrelevant things and these things are being promoted such as feminism transgenderism and homosexuality when this should only concern a very small percentage of the population it's not something that everyone should be concerned about and media and social influences and club culture are being pushed on the youth to where most people today no longer even hold an identity of their own they're just at the whim of whatever is popular or trending they have no opinions or beliefs of their own they're not concerned about their future and it's already too late for a lot of these people they've already gone down that path and there's no turning back for them because this behavior is being promoted and encouraged and they're not going to take accountability but it's not too late to bring back traditional values for the next generation which is something that we must uphold for our children or grandchildren because if we don't do it by the time they become adults it may be too late longstanding beliefs customs and practices just won't be relevant anymore and you can already see it in the world today it's having a negative impact on people's behaviors because there's just no discipline or self-control and the first thing people should do when they witness this chaos and destruction in the world is turn to God they should reflect moral ethical or religious principles they should be concerned with the proper standards of behavior they should adhere to a code of ethics and moral values which may not be trending or popular but we should do it because we know it's the right thing to do because there should be an organizational system and structure a series of steps that will accomplish a specific goal and that can only be attained with traditional values knowing your duty and doing your duty keeping your word without lying and not cheating or expecting something for nothing and instead putting in the work for your future of holding your responsibilities to your family your spouse your parents your children and your society and sadly this is just not what people want to do but it's what needs to be done to create a stable foundation and future for our children because otherwise they're not going to have a leg to stand on there's not going to be anything left men need to know their purpose and duty they need to have an intention and an objective for their lives then needs to be a reason for why they exist they need a sense of resolve a strong determination to see something through to completion despite external challenges to solve and end these problems and difficulties while women need to support men on their purpose they need to know their role and they need to be prepared from a young age to value marriage and family instead of wasting their lives until one day they lose their looks and they stop getting attention from men and they decide to settle down with whoever it's willing to provide for them women should already be married at a young age because by the time most women turn 18 they've already engaged in one night stands they've slept around and many of them drink alcohol smoke cigarettes and use recreational drugs things that cause marked changes in their mood and behavior so they're not in a good position to support a man on his purpose it's not going to end well and it's not a fair exchange for a man who has worked all of his life and taken good care of his body to settle for a woman who has been used and abused it might be very difficult for a man to cherish and respect a woman like that because their value has gone down while high value men value innocence and purity a lack of harmlessness and corruption because we don't want anything to contaminate what we've worked so hard to establish so we desire something pure something that will not change or lower our quality because we made the choice to take good care of ourselves and our lives and women should take care of themselves as well they should be prepared to enter marriage before they're socially conditioned and pressured into undesired conditions and situations and brainwashed by feminism and media influences because marriage will protect them from physical and mental illness if they're with a man who is empathetic and takes good care of them a man who can share their feelings and support them emotionally the problem is that most high value men are not going to be willing to do that with a woman who does not take good care of herself and value herself people tend to take care of things that have been taken good care of things that have been valued and respected in the past so if women are having one night stands and using drugs it's going to be difficult for a high value man to respect them which is why most high value men in their 30s and above today are going to choose younger women because they're less likely to contaminate their health and their lives and that is what I would advise to any younger women who are watching this video or any parents of a younger woman or child they should be prepared for marriage from a young age I have already witnessed in several relationships of my own where an ex decided not to proceed in having a marriage in children with me and it didn't end well for any of them as I have talked about in previous videos if they had decided to continue the relationship their lives would be very different they would have lived a far more secure and comfortable life with a man who never would have given up on them as long as they supported me which is why my personal opinion from my experience is that they should already be married in their teens if it is safe and legal in their country or region because as I said by that age teenagers are already using alcohol and drugs they're already engaging in one night stands so their lives are already deteriorating many women in their early 20s today were far more physically attractive and healthier when they were in their teens because they didn't take care of themselves they let themselves go they're engaged in harmful activities and this type of behavior is being promoted among the youth which will only contaminate and cause problems for a high-value man who will overlook those types of women and want nothing to do with them or even if he does foolishly decide to give them a chance it's going to affect his life and it will likely result in a divorce and a single parent raising their child on their own which will cause a lot of stress for the mother which will then affect the child's future and the father will be taken down by anemone and child support so everyone gets affected as a result which is why high-class and high-value behavior is so important and it is essential for our futures men must have a purpose and they must balance their work with meaningful relationships hobbies and relaxation they must build success for themselves and for their family and women must support men on their purpose because that's the only way that it's going to work it's not designed to work any other way and it was always this way until the last few decades when feminism took over men need a purpose and women need to have their role in a high-value man's life because high-value men are important they're essential to our society's growth and development without them everyone takes a fall even if it's not always directly because they're the backbone of society and government they're what keeps the system running so they need support otherwise societies will continue to collapse and systems will eventually fall apart thank you for watching if you found this video helpful please give it a thumbs up share your thoughts in the comment section

So I really like the direction of this company is going and again guys This is a company that I think with it with the way they're looking right now would be the next Square in my personal opinion Square is out there trading over two hundred dollars as I'm changed right now I see this company headed that same direction again as one they have to be patient with it and give it time to grow So again, this is their mission to help our members if you notice They don't call they don't call people customers They call them their members to achieve financial independence to realize their ambitions So again, this is an overall holistic Money management platform, which I think is brilliant These are the the key reasons or why you would want to go with so far in my opinion. So number one is that it's fast You can sign up and have access to all these products that they currently offer And here's the thing though if you look at your traditional banks, they have these products as well But tell me how easy it is for you to walk into your bank today and walk out with a loan I bet you guys it's gonna take hours and hours of back-and-forth signing bunch of papers Before you can even get any work that the loan has been approved or denied So these guys make it a lot easier once you have your account you can deposit money in there You can buy and sell stocks you can trade cryptocurrencies if you if you're into crypto you can actually do your money management So deposit your check in there They have a money account where they give you a debit card that you can use to spend that money Just as much as you want which I think is excellent and then the next thing I think is the selection of The things that all your products that they offer they offer a wide array of products that you can actually Benefit from and then the office in number three here talking about the content Now obviously they consider you a member not a customer So all the content is made available to you for free to help you really take care of your money in your money Management and then last but not least number four so you can see here is convenience again each is of use Any time any platform any place simplicity?

I told you guys that I think this company has that value again In my personal opinion.  So again, if they're talking about disrupting an industry So you're talking about Amazon Facebook dot-dash Uber Expedia booking.com Netflix linked in a BNB and and spot and Spotify What do you know about all these companies these companies are leading the industry that they are?

They've identified and they're making it work So again guys, this is to me. This is a company that has this massive opportunity to explode Again, if you are looking long term, then this is great You can buy right now and hold it and don't worry about it Now a lot of you guys some of you just want to swing and make some quick cash But if you have a long term portfolio, this is one of those ones where you can buy right now Put it in there and just let it ride I don't know if you're putting a 50 shares or 100 shares Just let it sit there and do its thing because this is this thing is going to explode As soon as they go through and get this merger completed I know the price is going to go from right now at the 23 dollars is trading at you're looking at things We be somewhere around 40 50 price range before the merger even completes and then after that you start looking at So five your revenue and everything that's going to be happening It's going to drive this price of the stock to continue going up and again if you see more and more people start Getting exposed learning about money management and how to invest all these people coming to play with it This is a one-stop shop.

Jalan salutations, if the US ever has another civil war, what would the left use as weapons if they don't like guns? Here's the thing, all those high-level people that are saying, oh, we have to get rid of guns and stuff like this, they have the most number of bodyguards you could imagine. So all those clowns are saying that you're not allowed to protect yourself. They have, on taxpayers' dime as well, usually the politicians anyway, the bureaucrats, they have multiple people protecting them with guns, right? So the civil war is going to look different than, he just woke up, he's like, pet me, love me, it's going to look different than it did in the past. As far as I'm concerned, we're already in a civil war in the United States. I really want to put a yellow there, as the legend says, yellow is civil war. I think the United States is in a civil war. It's a quiet civil war right now, it's a lawfare, that's people have been referring to it.  Guantanamo Bay was one of the better known ones, right? But they would send them all over the place and lock them up, torture them, sell them to confiner, whatever it was, right? They're doing that to American citizens right now.  Without due process, right? So I think we're in a civil war already, to the truth, very much so. Extremely divided, extremely divided.
