This 10th year of Daily Tech New Show is made possible by its listeners. Thanks to all of you, including Pilly Glendale, Dr. X17, Adam Green, and we've got some new patrons. Let's welcome Nick, Michael and Jackson. On this episode of DTNS and Encryption continues to draw lions in the sand. Google Podcast lives on in a new home and Justin Robert Young has some choice words for Gemini. This is the Daily Tech News for Thursday, December 7th, 2023. From Studio Secret Bunker, I'm Sarah Lane. From Columbus, Ohio, I'm Rob Dunwoody. And from Deep in the Heart of Texas, I'm Justin Robert Young. And I'm the show's producer, Roger Cheng. We got quite a bit of news today, including, this is a quick one, X's chatbot named Grock is now rolling out to X Premium Plus users and meta announced new hashtag, but not really quite hashtag functionality to help surface posts. Let's move on now to the quick hits. Amazon sent a notice to customers that it's scrapping the option to pay using Venmo beginning January 10th, 2024, although it will still allow payments using Venmo debit or credit cards. Amazon first started accepting Venmo in October of last year. It's a little unclear why the reversal of Venmo Sparks person tells CNBC that the two companies agreed to disable the payment service as an option adding, we have a strong relationship with Amazon and look forward to continuing to build on it. Epic Games launched Lego Fortnite on Thursday, as the name implies, it's a crafting game that has been compared to a Lego version of Minecraft, but lives inside of Fortnite itself. Friday, Fortnite Rocket Racing is launching as well and Fortnite Festival on Saturday, December 9th. The idea is that Fortnite will expand into a platform for all sorts of games similar to how Roblox works. Decentralized social network Blue Sky is still in closed beta, but last month the company announced it would open up a public web interface, letting anybody view the posts on its platform, even if they didn't have an invite to the app. Some Blue Sky users took issue with not having an option to post privately, that's something that is an option on X and many people on Blue Sky are former X users, or at least are using both. Blue Sky now says it will offer an opt out tool from public view and says third party apps on the open network should also respect that setting, although Blue Sky can't really force another third party app to do that. Last month, a small number of Google Drive users suffered a sync error that accidentally deleted some of their files. Google Drive has since been updated with a recovery tool that may allow affected users to recover their files.  Although this doesn't work for everyone, Google is actually stating that. So it hopefully it'll work for you if you had this problem, but it may not. Well, Nintendo announced that Nintendo Live 2024 Tokyo has been canceled. This is due to safety concerns. Nintendo says it's gotten numerous threats of violence, targeting both employees and the wider community. Additionally, several competitive events including the Splatoon, Koshien 2023 National Finals, the Splatoon 3 World Championship 2024, and the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Online Challenge Final Stage have also been postponed. Alright, Rob, let's talk about what Facebook is doing with Messenger. So Meta announced that Facebook Messenger chats and calls will be protected by end to end encryption by default. Since 2016, encrypted chats have been an opt-in feature in Messenger, but now end to end encrypted messages and calls for conversations between two users will be the standard. Yeah, so this means that any message protected by end to end encryption can only be read by the sender and the recipient. Anybody who listens to DTNS is aware of how end to end encryption works.  This would apply to any Messenger service that works this way, but it's Meta, so they definitely get added scrutiny. End to end encryption for group chats is still opt-in, but that behavior could also change in the future. Now, Justin, this argument could apply to any end encrypted messaging service, and there are many groups who say, unequivocally, that is the way to go because that is a privacy forward way to go. So does Meta have different rules here? Well, they don't have different rules now.  Should they have to play by different rules? No, I don't think that they should have to play by different rules.  Yes, they have a lot of users. It is their right to say that by default these messages need to be end to end encrypted, not unlike a lot of other competing platforms if they believe that it's going to bring them more users. To the earlier point about whether or not they will have to play by new rules, I do think it is only a matter of time before somebody, likely in Europe, forces some legal challenges to end to end encryption. And just to kind of put some of the dichotomy into light here, EFF, obviously very privacy focused organization said on X, Meta's decision to make end to end encryption the default will bring strong encryption to over one billion people, protecting them from dragnet surveillance of the contents of their Facebook messages and not a moment too soon. NCA UK also said on X, today Meta has chosen to roll out end to end encryption on Facebook Messenger, which means they will no longer be able to keep children safe on their platform. Today, our role in protecting children from sexual abuse just got harder. Very different ends of the spectrum. Rob, where do you fall on this? So to be clear, they don't just complain about Meta. They complain about everyone who was turned this on. Meta is just the biggest and the baddest and the latest to do it. Other Meta products already have this. So, you know, I think the EU kind of should have seen what this is coming. But, you know, and I think it's maybe where you live being from the United States. I am all for this end to end encryption. I do not want anybody looking at my messages and I don't want to have to opt into something to make that work. If it just works by default, that's better for me. I do understand where they're coming from. I just don't know that I necessarily agree with it. And I think that might just be a cultural thing from where we, you know, from where I live. Yeah, yeah, I'm with you. I, you know, if somebody were to say, Sarah, what do you think? You can only choose one. I say end to end encryption is better for all of us. There are bad actors. There are always going to be bad actors. This will perhaps make it easier for a bad actor to act badly. That is, that, that is an issue. That is something that all sorts of, you know, a variety of law organizations across the world deal with every day. But the fact that messaging on Facebook Messenger is tighter than ever is, is I think for the majority of its users, a very good thing. Yeah, I wonder if, you know, if, you know, if, if, if you're, if they care that if they, if they force companies to open up these products, that these companies may say like signal, they said they flat out, they're, they will never do it. They will just stop operating in, you know, on your continent if they do that. I don't know that Facebook would go that way, but you now are going to have two classes of Facebook. Facebook that works really, really good and secure for most of the world, but not so much in Europe. And then I think European users would have issues with that. Well, and this is something that I think a lot of companies are going to be willing to fight about because it's one thing to say. You have to alter your product because of profitability. It's another thing to alter your product because of government fiat for security. And that is a decision that all companies need to make. And if, if Facebook has decided, I don't think that they went into this blind turning this on by default. If they are turning it on by default, I think that they're willing to fight on it. Yeah, in fact, this was something that Facebook had said, I think it was even before it was meta had said, we're working on this. You know, it was like back in 2016. So this is a long time coming for a lot of people who want a feature like this. And I think maybe more of a reactionary thing for other folks who didn't realize it was so, so long in the works. Just before we move on, meta also announced a new project called Purple Llama, which the company says will eventually offer responsible tools and evaluations for the AI development community. Because you know, meta just wants us all to get along. And a blog post, the research team behind Purple Llama said that generative AI is innovative but controversial. And the building of trust is of utmost importance. Quote, the building, the people building AI systems cannot address the changes of AI in a vacuum, which is why we want to level the playing field and create a center of mass for open trust and safety. Said the company in a response to this announcement. To that effect, Purple Llama begins as a free and open set of cybersecurity evaluation benchmarks for LLMs called CyberSecEval. Meta also announced Llama Guard, which is a safety classifier for input and output filtering. Google today announced the launch of its Google podcast to YouTube Music Migration Tool. This news comes after Google in September announced that Google podcast was being discontinued sometime in 2024 and replaced by YouTube Music as a default podcast player on Android. Today we also found out that sometime in 2024 means the beginning of April, as Google noted the official discontinuation of Google podcast will come at the end of March. Even though Google podcast was the default podcast app on Android, it was only used by about 4% of weekly podcast listeners in the US, so pretty small amount. Conversely, 23% of weekly listeners opted for YouTube as their podcast listening app of choice. Same company, but, you know, the users made their choice now. Seems like with that kind of listener shared disparity would only make sense for Google to say, okay, let's just port everybody over to YouTube. Justin, do you think Google will have, I don't know, better luck with YouTube music than it did with Google podcast when it comes to listenership? No, but not for lack of trying. The issue that Google has is that they are often trying to play catch-up. They give up on certain ideas, scrap them and create new ideas, which creates a generational distrust in terms of investing in platforms, and it's specifically acute when you were talking about a medium that rewards long-term commitment and listenership. Podcast listeners are very, very finicky about the apps that they use to listen to their shows. I know I am. The fact that they are combining with YouTube music is very much them chasing the Spotify example of, all right, well, we couldn't be Apple, so let's try to be Spotify, which is now the top dog in terms of podcast listenership. What complicates everything is YouTube, where a lot of people say that they listen to podcasts because podcasts mean something kind of different on YouTube than they do in the purely audio realm. It is very, very popular for stuff with that name, but it doesn't exactly fit. I don't think this is the right move for them. I think if YouTube really, really wanted, or Google in general, really wanted to make YouTube and Google a player in podcasting, what they would have done is just play to their strengths, get in the ad sales game, and then have easy integration into all of these platforms. If you want to go the opposite direction and go from the listener in, then in my mind the only thing to do is to buy a best-in-class podcast app and allow that user base to experience something that they wouldn't otherwise with your kind of money and reach. With this, it's a gigantic mushy metal. So 4% of users use this here in the United States. It's not like Apple has 96% market share. They're over 50%, but it's not like it's 96%. So this means that hardly any Android user is using the default app. Now, part of the reason for this might be because, well, I think if you go back, well, they first started with apps like... As far as I can remember going back, it was Google Play. There was something that was before that, but there's Google Play, and then Google Play didn't pan out, so then they go to Google Podcast. And when Google Podcast came out, you couldn't even add podcasts to Google Podcast. You had to already be there. So they weren't really serious about that. And a year or so later, they decided, okay, yeah, we're going to allow you to add podcasts to the actual podcasting app. Then they said, nope, that's not working. We only get 4%. Now we're going to go to YouTube. So if anything, it could be the greatest app in the world. YouTube music is not, but if it were, do you trust that Google is going to keep this thing around long enough for you to actually get used to it, use it and like it? I don't know that they will. The only thing that is different here is that, and I've said this many times before when talking about Google services, the ones that are their core services, you pay attention to those. YouTube is a core Google service.  So the fact that they're tying this into YouTube music makes me think, well, maybe they at least care and are serious about it at this point, and two things that Google has done. They've now made it so that you can actually add your audio first or audio only podcast to YouTube via RSS. That actually makes it a little bit easier. They've also added the ability to add podcasts to YouTube music directly via RSS. So they're not going the old Google podcast route where you couldn't even add a podcast to it. They're saying right off the box, when we get rid of Google podcast, you'll be able to add all your shows. So at least it is a, I would say a usable podcasting app. You know, YouTube music is, but just their history. I just don't know that I trust it when I think of, you know, I'm an Android user, but I've owned iPhones and I think about the, you know, I think about the iPhone and you go back and they've only had Apple podcasts. I don't know that there's ever been another default application has always been that. Well, Google, you've got three, four, five different things. You just don't know if you can trust them. I mean, before Apple podcast, it was just iTunes, which was also confusing in the exact same way that this is confusing. I mean, listen, there's more going on with Google besides naming conventions. But boy is this company bad at that.  But no new user is going to feel like that makes sense in the way that Spotify, you know, going hard on podcasts after being, you know, music only after a while wouldn't make sense to a lot of kind of that average new user. Again, DTNS audience is exempt from this because we know how this all works. But it just boggles my mind that Google would say, okay, Google podcast didn't really work. Let's port everybody over to YouTube music because that makes sense for podcasts. It just doesn't, to me. Well, again, it's all the Spotify example. That's what they're trying to replicate. Let's push people to our subscription music service. But I mean, at least Spotify isn't called Spotify music. Well, but that's the other problem, right? So Rob said YouTube, gigantic core product for them. Guess what? They also have two other services at the very least that I know off the top of my head that are totally separate from that core service that share the branding, YouTube TV and YouTube music. As far as I know, as a YouTube TV user, which by the way, good service. I like it. Yeah. It doesn't affect my YouTube experience. It doesn't feed me more stuff based on what I am watching live using YouTube TV. It's a totally separate garden. But YouTube TV makes sense. Like that is a good name. It makes sense. YouTube music for podcasts does not make sense. When I say YouTube TV, I would. I would assume that I go to YouTube, the place where I watch YouTube videos and I would also be able to get live television. I guess that's a separate website. Let me let me let me point out to Rob sage wise Rob. Can we trust Google? That is a foreshadowing to our next conversation. Yeah. So are you interested in AI and his impact on your life in society? Then you need to listen to AI name this show each week. Tristan Jettra and Tasia Custody way through the hype and doom saying to keep you informed on the latest news in the AI world. Catch it all at AI name this show dot com. All right. Yesterday we talked about Google announcing Gemini. Oh boy. This is, you know, Google's response to chat GPT. It's been it's been in the works for some time. A lot of rumors of delays and what's going on behind the scenes. So let's just remind everybody what's going on in case you missed yesterday's announcements. Google said Gemini Ultra is the first model to outperform humans in an M M L U. That's massive multitask language understanding test. Gemini Nano is a smaller and more efficient system that can run locally on machines. Android developers would be able to use nano for example in apps. Pixel 8 Pro users will also get nano powered features. But that isn't what's in Google Bart. That would be Gemini Pro. And here's where people say WTF. Justin Rubber Young, you're one of them. Tell us more. Well, where do we begin? So there was a story that came out earlier this week saying that Google was going to move the launch of Gemini. Yeah, it came from the information. From the information now known as Gemini Ultra to next year. The only reason why the information knew that was because Google had scheduled hands on appointments with press for this week. They were going to roll it out this week. They cancelled their own birthday party last minute. The information story comes out and then yesterday we get the rollout of Gemini. It is heralded by a few papers and a video. A video that impressed a lot of people on the internet where somebody in what appears to be as live footage starts drawing on a piece of paper and interacting via voice with an AI model. The AI model understands exactly what he is doing. Down to the fact that his duck that he is coloring blue is not something that is normal in the animal kingdom. Let's do the launch first. AI is an existential threat for Google. It erodes search, their key product, which dovetails into AdSense and their AdSales capabilities. That's what actually makes them money. They have as much data as anybody on the planet, as much server and computing power as anybody on the planet, and they were a leader in the research of the technology for which GPTs, what OpenAI has built, is built on. The fact that they got this far into saying that this is going to come out and then canceled it at the last minute means it's not ready. And if it's not ready, then they are further behind OpenAI than we initially thought. Sarah, do you have a question? No, I just, yeah, continue please. Okay, sorry, I thought you were trying to get it. Then we go to the video. The video is not real, at least not in the way that it is presented. And it is presented in a way that is supposed to show you something that is happening in real time. They say it was edited for brevity. What the reality is, is that everything that you see was not going back and forth via voice. It was prompts that were entered in via still images. So what I'm assuming is that the reason why Gemini wasn't launched is because it's late and right now the product is slow and it's possibly unreliable. We simply don't know. They released a bunch of benchmarks that at this point were around, like they said that they were above, but they are not far beyond chat GPT-4, but OpenAI finished training chat GPT-4 a year and change ago. This is old tech for them. They're already far beyond that. If this is a threat and Google has had a year to figure this out and they're not ready to go with a product, that's a major, major, major red flag to the point where I don't know if the current leadership at Google is around by next year because they saw this coming a year ago and they are here now kicking this can down the road that they believe is an existential threat to that company. I do think AI can work with Google. I do think the Gemini is going to be a good and powerful model, but I think that there are organizational problems there not only in the fact that they couldn't release it and it's not what they made it out to be, but they also, as Rob said, got a history of hyping up technology that just doesn't hit the market. And if this is that, then they've got major, major problems. And quite frankly at this point, that's on the table. I couldn't agree with you more. I've said this before, even before we knew about Gemini or what Gemini is not at this point. Google cannot get this wrong. Our business is predicated on search. This type of AI is going to replace search. So if you're Google, you're saying this stuff that is coming out that is not coming from us is going to replace us like quick in and a hurry. We need to jump on whatever bandwagon we can and get to get on this train of AI and build something. And I don't, you know, you mentioned that they may have to change in leadership. You're probably right because someone at the top should be saying that we need to spend billions upon billions upon billions of dollars to make sure that we are a player in this space. And right now it's just not looking like it.  So we could have a better show. But we can have a better conversation about this. But I see no lies in anything you said. Rob, that's the problem. They got the money. They got the best talent. They've got the best computing and they've got the best data. All the things that you need, the ingredients are there. And if the ingredients are there and you can't cook it within a year, then you got to start looking at the chef. Yeah, that's leadership. That's leadership at that point.  Google should be embarrassed. Maybe not everybody feels that way, but a lot of people were sort of like, hey, I got you.  And it didn't, you know, I think that you can, you can trick a lot of models.   Or it gives you bad information. Then you go, haha, you're not as smart as a human. So I don't think Google is alone here. However, I did try to throw it off with a few pretty soft ball queries. And I did throw it off. It was just bad information. For example, I'm moving to a new apartment in like, I don't know, eight days from now. And I asked, I asked Bard what it thought of my new neighborhood, you know, just kind of like, I don't know, let's have a conversation. And it said nice things, thankfully. But it also, you know, told me that certain streets were on the west side of me when they should have been on the east and vice versa. It was just, it's just messy. It's messy. And that is probably going back to your original point, Justin, something that Google rushed this out for whatever reason. I don't know.  Yeah. I mean, there's so many variables. But but it just, you know, it seemed rather exciting because a lot of us who were following this thought that there probably wasn't going to be an announcement until January. Because the word on the street was that Google wasn't ready. So this big push on Tuesday, pardon me, on Wednesday was somewhat of a surprise. And, you know, according to Google, you know, it's the best model you'll ever have. It just does not seem to be the case. It just isn't. It's not even close. So some people who are trying to hold the water for Google are saying, well, all of these all of these platforms, they don't get things exactly right. And it's like, yeah, I guess you could have an Olympic four by four by one team. They could botch a handoff, but they still run 22 miles an hour compared to the eighth grade team that runs 30.  It's like it's these other systems are so much better than where Google is. It's just unconscionable that Google with a year has not gotten to where they've got something that is literally prime time ready. Here's the other thing. I don't know why they launched this with the Gemini name because now everybody's going to use something that they themselves are saying are the middle range product. And they're going to judge the high range product based on the experiences they're having now. My assumption is they released it because they wanted to say that they had something out in 2023. They barely did it. Congratulations. You played yourself in my opinion. I will also announce I had a cup of coffee consulting at Open AI so I know people at Open AI. You can you can call me a Homer there, but I am not giving you this take that I don't believe Google can do what they are saying in that video because I am biased in the AI space. I am biased because I believed Google's pitch for Google Glass. And then at the end of the day, I had a CRT monitor in my top right eye and I looked like a Borg that retired to Key West. It was a failure. Failure. Oh, the Google Glass. Oh, well, you know. Yeah. There are others. There are others in your camp, Justin. I'm just saying. Who feels though, yes. You all should, you know, maybe have a cup of coffee in Key West and talk about. It's a lovely place. It's a lovely place, but it's also very fluorescent like the orange Google Glass I had. Well, Justin, we always love your takes. They're not just hot takes. They're smart takes. And that's why you're on DTNS. So let folks know where they can keep up with you between your appearances with us. Well, when I'm not blistering Palo Alto from this bully pulpit. I also run a production company called Dog & Poty Show Audio. And one of our shows indeed stars the host of this program, Tom Merritt, with Know a Little More. And there's a new episode out.  Well, you're going to know a little more about it when you listen to the latest episode of Know a Little More. Oh, patrons, you already know that you can stick around for the extended show Good Day Internet. But if you're not a patron, you're missing out because we keep the party rolling. Today we're going to talk about Amazon Prime grocery customers getting some new perks. Might be you, might not be you. But what do you think about it? You can also catch the show live Monday through Friday at 4 p.m. Easter in 2100 UTC. Find out more at DailyTechNewShow.com. We'll be back tomorrow talking about the difference between Secure by Default and Secure by Design with Rivian Sissow, Mike Johnson. This show is part of the Frog Pants Network.

I found seven high paying tech related remote jobs and you don't have to worry about having a degree or previous experience because all of these you can land without that. So the first one on the list is going to be one of my absolute favorites and that is tech sales. And specifically the career you'd be trying to go for at the beginning is going to be business development representative also known as sales development representative. Now typically these are referred to as BDR or SDR. And basically what you'd be doing in these roles is prospecting or reaching out to other businesses that need the service of the business that you are working for. Now the average person in tech sales makes about $131,000 a year. But as a BDR or SDR you'll probably start off between 60 and 80,000. And in this position you're going to need strong communication skills, persuasion skills and also a solid grasp of the technology that you're selling itself. And this is one of those roles where a lot of companies are willing to hire and train you without a college degree or previous experience. So this is one where I've interviewed a ton of people who have been able to get into it. It's a great career, lots of opportunity. I'm going to give it a nine out of 10 opportunity score. The next one on the list is another phenomenal career and that is software QA engineer. And QA stands for quality assurance. And basically what you're going to be doing here is very similar to what an editor would do for a writer. So if the writer was a software developer or a software engineer, software QA would be like an editor. You are going to be looking through the software developer's code and you're going to be searching for glitches and also just making sure that the code is put in such a way where if you do things in the future it's not going to mess everything up. And this is a big problem that Twitter had for instance where they made their software code so convoluted and so complicated that it was very difficult to even change anything or understand how the whole system works. So this becomes more and more important as you scale a company and you make their offering more complicated. This is kind of like building the foundations for a skyscraper. If you don't have good foundations you might be able to get to four or five floors but once you get up to 10, 20, 30, 40 floors you need to make sure that the foundations are incredibly solid. And software QA engineers make about $106,000 a year. So basically in this position you want to be very detail oriented and you want to have precision, patience and a Sherlock Holmes type of ability to find and solve problems. Now a great way to get started here is to dive into a program like Careerist that will teach you everything you need to know to land that first entry level job. And this job is definitely a root worth taking. And if you're considering this I've actually partnered with Careerist where they actually offer online live courses to get you started with jobs just like this one. And according to coursereport.com Careerist is one of the best boot camps in the United States. And Careerist graduates are already working in 1,000 plus companies across the US. They're in companies in 40 different states and the salaries usually vary between 65 to $100,000 a year based on the courses that they take with Careerist. And these courses are manual QA, sales engineering, UX design, systems engineering and data analytics. Now what sets Careerist apart is it actually caters to individuals that have no prior tech experience. And they provide comprehensive training that will equip you with all the skills necessary to secure a high paying job in the technology industry. Careerist also provides a supportive learning environment for your technology career journey. You will attend live classes, internships to practice your skills, receive personalized guidance from career coaches and receive support at every stage of the program until you achieve your goals. On average, Careerist graduates find a job in tech within two to four months if they follow the provided job search instructions. And the average starting salary for a Careerist graduate is $68,000. So Careerist is awesome. And if you follow the link down in the description below you'll get a 10% discount on whichever course you choose. So thanks again to Careerist for sponsoring this video. And for this particular career I'm gonna give it a nine out of 10 opportunity score as well. Next is going to be web developer. And this is a career that's been around for a very long time. And it's one of the most basic forms of software development. And it's basically software development for websites. So you're gonna be responsible for designing and developing websites that people use every day. And you're gonna focus mostly on the front end of the website, which is what people see. And web developers make about $81,000 a year. Now this used to be one of the easiest jobs to land 10 years ago. Even five years ago, it was pretty easy but it has gotten saturated and it has gotten harder to land a job. It used to be that 10 years ago you could basically just have a pulse and land a job very easily. Now you actually have to know what you're doing. And you wanna be up to date on the latest frameworks as well as programming languages. So overall, this is still a really good one but you do actually have to know your stuff here. And for that reason, I'm gonna give it an opportunity score of eight out of 10. Next on the list, I'm gonna talk about a full stack developer. And this is somebody who understands the front end AKA what people see on a website or a piece of software but they also understand the back end. And that's what people don't see. And that's typically more complicated. But the truth is there is a ton of interaction between the front end and the back end. So having a more holistic view on this is going to help you not only when it comes to helping your company but also making more money. And that's why full stack developers make $97,000 a year. Now again, this is one just like every other one on this list that you do not need a college degree or previous experience in order to land in these entry level jobs. But with that being said, you are going to have to know your stuff. So if you can learn that online, completely free on YouTube, that's great. Many people decide to purchase courses or training programs online to help them out. And also networking is going to help you out tremendously when it comes to landing a job. But overall, this one is still amazing. I'm gonna give it a nine out of 10 opportunity score. The next one on the list is one that in my opinion is incredibly hot right now and that is data analyst. Now we've all seen the stories, data is now more valuable than oil or gold. And there is a reason for that because companies can make decisions based on that data that makes them much, much more money.  And the concept of data analysis actually dates back hundreds of years. As early mathematicians and statisticians, which is a word that's really hard to say, began laying the foundations for modern analytical techniques. And as a data analyst, you can expect a rewarding salary of $80,000 a year. And keep in mind, this is basically the entry level job. You can make a lot more than that once you go up the salary chain. Now, this is another one where you absolutely do have to have the skills. So you might be learning languages such as SQL or R. You might also learn some basic Python programming. And of course, you're gonna have to be very, very familiar with Excel. Now, this is another one where you do not need a college degree in order to land an entry level career. Many people choose to get a college degree in something like statistics because it does help out, but you don't need it. Many others choose to go to boot camps such as careerist, for instance, and many others choose to just simply teach themselves, which probably is going to take longer, but it's gonna be more affordable. So overall, this one is a little bit harder to get into without a college degree. But with that being said, it's still a fantastic one. I'll give it a nine out of 10 opportunity score. Next one on the list is probably the number one job. If you're trying to get a remote job, travel the world, get paid really well, have incredible benefits, and all those things that you would want. And that is going to be a software engineer. Now, the difference between software developer and software engineer is highly debated. Many times it's literally just a title, but generally speaking, software engineers are going to have a deeper understanding of what's going on when it comes to the code. So it's almost like a software developer is someone who's building a house and they don't really understand architecture, whereas a software engineer might also be building the house, but they do have a pretty solid grasp of architecture as well. And that's why when you look up software engineer on Glassdoor, they make $139,000 a year. So this is another one where you don't have to have a college degree or previous experience, but you do have to know your stuff.  And networking helps tremendously as well. But overall, I'm going to give this one a 9.5 out of 10 opportunity score. And next we have a cybersecurity engineer. So cybersecurity is another one that is incredibly hot right now. And everyone is kind of focusing on software engineer, software developer, and they're sort of sleeping on cybersecurity data analyst, different cloud related careers, et cetera. Now with cybersecurity, I will say that you probably do want to start off in something else such as a lower level cybersecurity job or maybe an IT job. That is the most common career path for most people. So a lot of people, for instance, will start off at IT help desk or move into a higher level IT job. And then they'll transition into cybersecurity. And basically this is exactly what it sounds like. You're going to be protecting data of different software as well as websites. And this is incredibly important because if your data gets leaked, if it gets hacked, that can be terrible for your customers as well as your company. And this is why cybersecurity engineers make $131,000 a year. So overall, because it's a little bit harder to break into, I'm going to give this one an 8.5 out of 10 opportunity score. So if you haven't checked it out already, go ahead and check out my remote job tier list by clicking right here.

The next evening I was at a party where Miss Manorsley, by reason of her position and quality, was at Distinguished. I had almost written a popular guest. But, as I have formally stated, although the youthful fare of the NCNL were flattered by her casual attentions and secretly admired her superior style and aristocratic calm, they were more or less uneasy under the dominance of her intelligence and education and were afraid to attempt either confidence or familiarity. They were also singularly jealous of her, for although the average young man was equally afraid of her cleverness and her candour, he was not about paying a tremulous and timid coat to her for its effect upon her humbler sisters. This evening she was surrounded by her usual satellites, including of course a local notable and special guest of distinction. She had been discussing, I think, the existence of glaciers on Mount Shasta with a spectacular geologist and had participated with Charmin Frankness in a conversation on anatomy with the local doctor and a learned professor when she was asked to take a seat at the piano. She played with remarkable skill and wonderful precision, but coolly and brilliantly. As she sat there in a subdued but perfectly fitting evening dress, her regular profile and short but slender neck firmly set up on her high shoulders, exhaling an atmosphere of refined puritanism and provocative intelligence, the utter incongruity of Enrique's extravagant attentions, if ironical, and their equal hopelessness, if not, seem to me plainer than ever. What had this well poised, coolly observant spinster to do with that pointy ironic ruffler, the romantic signe, the rowdy Don Quixote, that impossible Enrique? Presently, she ceased playing. Her slim narrow slipper, revealing her thin ankle, remind upon the pedal. Her delicate fingers were resting idly on the keys. Her head was slightly thrown back and her narrow eyebrows prettily knit toward the ceiling in an effort of memory. Something of Charmin's suggested the geologist ardently. That extraquist, Soneta, pleaded the doctor. Soothing of Rubenstein, her demons, said a gentleman of Siskiou. He just made the piano get up and howl, play-roop.  Then her fingers suddenly dropped upon the keys of the glassy tinkle. There were a few quick pizzicato chords down when the low pedal with the monotonous drumming and she presently began to hum to herself. I started as well I might, for I recognized one of the Enrique's favorite and most extravagant guitar solos. It was Adoshius. It was barbaric. It was I fear vulgar. As I remembered it, as he sang it, it recounted the adventures of one Don Francisco, a provincial gallant and roisterer of the most objectionable type. It had 104 verses, which Enrique never sped me. I shuddered, as in a pleasant quiet voice, the correct, mismanishly wobbled in musical praise of Peleju or Boynstein. And the eulogy of the icebox came karasingly from her thin red lips. But the company was far differently affected. The strange wild air and wild air accompaniment were evidently catching. People moved toward the piano. Somebody whizzled the air from a distant corner. Even the faces of geologist and doctor frightened. A torrental, I presume, blandly suggested the doctor, mismanishly stopped and rose carelessly from the piano. It's a Moorish gypsy song of the 15th century. She said, trying. It seemed sort of familiar to hesitated one of the young man timidly. Like as if, don't you know, you had without knowing it.  I picked it up, as you call it, in the collection of medieval manuscripts of the Harvard Library and copied it, returned mismanishly codily as she turned away. But I was not inclined to let her off so easily. I presently made my way to her side. Your uncle was complimentary enough to consult me as to the meaning of the appearance of a certain exuberant Spanish visitor at his house the other night. I looked in her brown eyes, my own slipped off her velvety pupils without retaining anything. Then she reinforced her gaze with a pinceness and said carelessly, Oh, it's you. How are you? Well, could you give me any information? Only generally, I returned, still looking into her eyes. These people are impulsive. The Spanish blood is a mixture of gold and chrysler. She smiled slightly. That reminds me of your volatile friend. He was mercurial enough certainly. Is he still dancing? And singing sometimes I responded pointedly. But she only added casually a singular creature without exhibiting the least consciousness and drifted away, leaving me none the wiser. I felt that Enrique alone could enlighten me. I must see him. I did, but not in the way I expected. There was a bullfight at San Antonio the next Saturday afternoon. The usual Sunday performance being changed in deference to the sabbatical habits of the Americans. An additional attraction was offered in the shape of a bull and bear fight, also a concession to American taste, which had voted the bull fight slow and had a word that the bull did not get a fair show. I am glad that I am able to spar the reader the usual realistic horrors for in the Californian performances there was very little of brutality that distinguished this function in the mother country. The horses were not miserable, worn out hacks, but young and alert most times. And the display of horsemanship by the peccadors was not only wonderful, but secured and almost absolute safety to horse and rider. I never saw a horse go. Although unskillful riders were sometimes thrown in wheeling quickly to avoid the bull's charge, they generally regained their animals without injury. The Plaza de Toros was reached through the decade and tiled strong outskirts of an old Spanish village. It was a rudely built oval amphitheater with crumbling whitewashed adobe walls and roofed only over portions of the gallery, reserved for the provincial notables, but now occupied by a few shopkeepers and their wives with the sprinkling of American travelers and ranchmen. The impalpable adobe test of the arena was being wired into the air by the strong onset of the afternoon trade winds, which happily, however, helped also to dissipate a reek of garlic and the acrid fumes of cheap tobacco rolled in con-hurst cigarettes. I was leaning over the second barrier, waiting for the meager and circus-like procession to enter with the keys of the bullpen when my attention was attracted to a movement in the reserve gallery. A lady and gentleman of equality that was evidently unfamiliar to the rest of the audience were picking their way along the rickety benches to a French seat. I recognized the geologist with some surprise and the lady was leading with still great astonishment, for it was mismanagedly in her precise, well-fitting, walking costume, a monotone of sober color among the party-colored audience. However, I was perhaps less surprised than the audience for I was not only becoming as accustomed to the young girls' vagaries as I had been to Enrique's extravagance, but I was also satisfied that her uncle might have given her permission to come as a recognition of the Sunday concession of the management as well as to conciliate his supposed ethnic friends. I watched her sitting there until the first bull had entered and, after a rather brief play with the picadels and banterly arose, was despatched. At the moment when the mantador approached the bull with his lethal weapon, I was not sorry for an excuse for the concept mismanagedly. Her hands were in her lap, her head slightly bent forward over her knees. I fancied that she too had dropped her eyes before the brutal situation. To my horror, I saw that she had a drawing book in her hand and was actually sketching it. I turned my eyes in preference to the dying bull. The second animal laid out for this ingenious slaughter was however more silent, uncertain and discomposing to his butchers. He accepted the irony of a trial with gloomy, suspicious eyes and he declined the challenge of boiling and insulting picadels. He brazzled with the banterlose like a headhawk but remained with his hunches back against the barrier. At times almost hidden in the fine dust raised by the monotonous stroke of his sullenly pawing hoof. His own dull, heavy protest. A vague uneasiness had infected his adversaries. The picadels held aloof. The banterlose skirmished at a safe distance. The audience resented only the indecision of the bull. Galing epithets were flung at him, followed by cries of espada and curving his elbow under his short cloak, the matador. It is flashing blade in hand, advanced and stopped. The bull remained motionless. For at that moment a heavier gust of wind than usual swept down upon the arena, lifted a suffocating cloud of dust and wired it around the tires of benches in the balcony and for a moment seemed to stop the performance. I heard an exclamation from the geologist who had risen to his feet. I fancied. I heard even a faint cry from miss Manasli but the next moment as the dust was slowly settling we saw a sheet of paper in the air that had been caught up in a brief cyclone tied on uncertain wings until it slowly descended in the very middle of the arena. It was a leaf from miss Manasli's sketchbook the one on which he had been sketching. In the past that followed it seemed to be the one object that at last excited the bull's growing but tardy ire. He glanced at it with murky distanted eyes. He started at it with vague yet troubled fury. Whether he detected a long presentment in miss Manasli's sketch or whether he recognized it as an unknown and unfamiliar trickery in his surroundings I could not conjecture. For the next moment the matador taking advantage of the bull's concentration with a complacent ear at the audience advanced toward the paper but at that instant a young man cleared the barrier into the arena with a single bonk, shout the matador to one side turned toward the balcony and miss Manasli with a gesture of apology dropped gaily before the bull knelt down before him with an exaggerated humility and held up the drawing as if for his inspection. A roar of applause broke from the audience a cry of warning and exasperation from the attendance as the goaded bull suddenly charged the stranger but he sprang to one side with great dexterity made a courteous gesture to the matador as if for him and still holding the paper in his hand re-leaped the barrier and rejoined the audience in safety I did not wait to see the deadly dominant thrust with which the matador received the charging bull my eyes were following the figure now bounding up the steps to the balcony where with an exaggerated salutation he laid the drawing in miss Manasli's lap and vanished there was no mistaking that thin lip form the narrow black moustache and gravely dancing eyes the velocity of conception the extravagance of execution the quaint irony of the sequel could belong to no one but Henry K I hurried up to her as the six yoked mules dragged the carcass of the bull away she was placidly putting up her book the unmoved focus of a hundred eager and curious eyes she smiled slightly as she saw me I was just telling Mr Briggs what an extraordinary creature it was and how you knew him Mr Briggs had great experience to do that sort of thing so cleverly and safely does he do it often? of course not just that but does he pick up cigars and things that I see they throw to the matador does he belong to the management? Mr Briggs thinks the whole thing was a feint to distract the bull she added with a wicket glance at the geologist who I fancied looked disturbed I am afraid I said dryly that his act was unpremeditated and genuine as it was unusual why afraid? it was a matter of fact question but I instantly saw my mistake what right had I to assume that Henry K's attentions were any more genuine than her own easy indifference and if I suspected that they were was it fair in me to give my friend away to this heartless cockat? you are not very gallant she said with a slight laugh as I was hesitating and turned away with her escort before I could frame a reply but at least Henry K was now accessible and I should gain some information from him I knew where to find him unless he was still lounging about the building intent upon more extravagance but I waited until I saw Miss Manusvili and Briggs depart without further interruption the hastened half Roman Saltilo Henry K's cousin was on the outskirts of the village when I arrived there I found Henry K's Pinto mustang steaming in the coral and although I was momentarily delayed by the servants at the gateway I was surprised to find Henry K himself lying languidly on his back in a hammock in the patio his arms were hanging down listlessly on each side as if in the greatest frustration yet I could not resist the impression that the rascal had only just got into the hammock when he heard of my arrival you have arrived friend Pancho in time he said in accents of exaggerated weakness I am absolutely exhaust I am busted, caved in, kerflomoxt I have behold you my friend at the barrier I speak not, I make no sign at the first because I was on fire I speak not at the finish for I am exhaust I see the bull made it lively for you he instantly bounded up in the hammock the bull karamba not a thousand bulls and this one look you was a craven I snap my fingers over his arm I roll my cigarette Henry's nose well then what was it he instantly lay down again pulling up the sides of the hammer presently his voice came from its depths appealing in hollow tones to the sky he asks me these friend of my soul these brother of my life these Pancho that I love what it was he would that I should tell him why I am game in the legs why I shake in the hand crack in the voice and I am generally wiped out and yet he my partner he is Francisco you know that I have seen this miss from Boston that I have gaze into the eye touch the hand and for the instant pushes a picture that hand have drawn it was a sublime picture Pancho he said sitting up again suddenly and have killed the bull before our friend peeps sword have touched even the bone of his back make finish of him look here Henry K I said bluntly have you been serenading that girl she struck these shoulders with the least embarrassment and said ah yes what would you it's of a necessity well I retorted then you ought to know that her uncle took it all to himself thought you some grateful Catholic pleased with his religious tolerance he did not even smile we know he said gravely that makes something to in this affair it's well to begin with the duana he is the duana I went on relentlessly her escort told her just now that you are exploiting the bull ring was only a trick to divert the bull suggested by the management her escort is a geology naturally she is to him as a stone I would have continued but a peon interrupted us at this moment with a sign to Henry K who leaped briskly from the hammock bidding me wait his return from a messenger in the gateway still unsatisfied of mine and sat down in the hammock that Henry K had quit it a scrap of paper was lying in its which at first appeared to be of the kind from which Henry K rolled his cigarettes but as I picked it up to throw it away I found it was a much firmer and doubter material looking at it more closely I was surprised to recognize it as a piece of the tinted drawing paper torn off the block that Miss Manorsley had used it had been deeply creased right angles as if it had been folded it looked as if it might have been the outer half of a sheet used for a note it might have been a trifling circumstance but it greatly excited my curiosity I knew that he had returned the sketch to Miss Manorsley for I had seen it in a ran had she given him another and if so why had it been folded to the destruction of the drawing or was it a part of a note which he had destroyed in the first impulse of discovery I walked quickly with it toward the gateway where Henry K had disappeared intending to restore it to him he was just outside talking with a young girl I started for it was the costa Miss Manorsley's maid with this added discovery came that sense of uneasiness and indignation with which we illogically or apt to resent withholding of a friend's confidence even matters concerning only himself it was no use for me to reason that it was no business of mine that he was right in keeping a secret that concerned another under lady but I was afraid I was even more mainly sinful because the discovery quite upset my theory of his conduct and of Miss Manorsley's attitude toward him I continued to walk on to the gateway where I bid Henry K a hurried goodbye alleging the sudden remembrance of another engagement but without appearing to recognize the girl who was moving away when to my further discomfort the rascal stopped me with an appealing wink threw his arms around my neck whispered hoarsely in my ear ah, you see you comprehend but you are the mirror of discretion and return to Jacosta but whether this meant that he had received a message from Miss Manorsley or that he was trying to summon her maid to carry one was still uncertain he was capable of either during the next two or three weeks or him frequently but as I had resolved to try the effect of ignoring Miss Manorsley in our conversation I gathered little further of their relations to my surprise after one or two characteristic extravagances of illusion Henry K dropped the subject too only one afternoon as we were parting he said carefully my friend you are going to the castle of Manorsley tonight I too have the honor of the invitation to my mercury, my laparillo you will take of me a message to these means Boston that I am crushed, desolated, prostrate and flabbergasted that I cannot arrive for I have of that night to sit up with the grand aunt of my brother-in-law who has a Quincy to the death it's sad this was the first indication I had received of Miss Manorsley's advances I was equally surprised at Henry K's refusal to go to the castle bluntly nothing keeps you from going my friend returned Henry K with a sudden lapse in the languishment that seemed to make him absolutely informed it's everything that shall restrain me I am not strong I shall become weak of the knee and tremble under the eye of Miss Boston I shall precipitate myself to the geology and by the throat ask me another conundrum that shall be easy he seemed idiotically inflexible and did not go I found Miss Manorsley exquisitely dressed and looking singularly animated and pretty the lamb and glow of her inscrutable eye as she turned toward me might have been flattering but for my uneasiness in regard to Henry K I delivered his excuses as naturally as I could she stiffened for an instant and seemed an inch higher I am so sorry she said at last in a level voice I thought he would have been so amusing indeed I had hoped we might try an old Moorish dance together which I have found and was practicing he would have been delighted I know it's a great pity he didn't come with me I said quickly but I could not help adding with emphasis on her words he is such an extraordinary creature you know I see nothing extraordinary in his devotion to an ageer relative returned Miss Manorsley quietly as she turned away except that it justifies by respect for his character I do not know why I did not relate this to him possibly I had given up trying to understand them perhaps I was beginning to have an idea that he could take care of himself but I was somewhat surprised a few days later when after asking me to go with him to a rodeo at his uncles he added composedly you will meet Miss Boston I stared and but for his manner would have thought it part of his extravagance for the rodeo the chase of wild cattle for the purpose of lassoing and branding them was a rather brutal affair and purely a man's function it was also a family affair a property stock taking of the great Spanish cattle owners than strangers particularly Americans found it difficult to gain access to his mysteries and the fear start that followed but how did she get an invitation I asked you did not dare to ask I began my friend said with a singular deliberation the great and respectable Boston herself and a serene venerable uncle and other Boston Magnificos have of a truth done me the inexpressible honor to solicit of my degraded papistical uncle that she shall come that she shall of her own superior I behold the barbaric customs of her race his tone and manner were so peculiar that I stepped quickly before him my hands on his shoulders and looked down into his face but the actual devil which I know for the first time saw in his eyes went out of them suddenly and he relapsed again in affected languishment in his chair I shall be their friend Pancho he said with the preposterous gas I shall now my arm to lasso the bull and tumble him before her at her feet I shall throw the Buckyum Stang at the same sacred spot I shall pluck for her the buried chicken at full speed from the ground and present it to her you shall see it friend Pancho I shall be there he was as good as his word when Don Pedro Emador installed Miss Manasli with Spanish courtesy on a race platform in the Long Valley where the rodeo took place the gallant Enrique selected a bull from the frightened and galloping herd and cleverly isolating him from the band lassoed his hind legs and threw him exactly before the platform where Miss Manasli was seated it was Enrique who caught the unbroken Mustang sprang from his own saddle to the bar back of his captive and with the lasso for a bridle halted him on rigid hunches at Miss Manasli's feet it was Enrique who in sports that followed leaned from his saddle at full speed caught up the chicken buried to its head in the sand without ringing its neck and tossed it unharmed and fluttering toward his mistress as for her she wore the same look of animation that I had seen in her face at our previous meeting although she did not bring her sketchbook with her as at the bullfight she did not shrink from the branding of the cattle which took place under her very eyes yet I had never seen her and Enrique together they had never to my actual knowledge even exchanged words although she was the guest of his uncle his duties seemed to keep him in the field and apart from her nor as far as I could detect did either apparently make any effort to have it otherwise the peculiar circumstance seemed to attract no attention from anyone else but for what I alone knew or thought I knew of their actual relations I should have thought them strangers but I felt certain that the fiesta which took place in the broad patio of Don Pedro's casa would bring them together and later in the evening as we were all sitting in the veranda watching the dancing of the Mexican women whose white flounders were anonymously rising and falling to the strains of two melancholy harps mismanagedly rejoined us from the house she seemed to be utterly absorbed and attracted in the barbaric dances and scarcely moved as she leaned over the reeling resting on her hand suddenly she arose with a little cry what is it asked two or three nothing only I have lost my fan she had risen and was looking abstractedly on the floor half a dozen men jumped to their feet let me fetch it they said no thank you I think I know where it is and will go for it myself she was moving away but Don Pedro interposed with the Spanish gravity such a thing was not to be heard of if the sonorita would not permit him an old man to go for it it must be brought by Enrique her cavalier of the day but Enrique was not to be found I glanced at mismanagedly somewhat disturbed face and begged her to let me fetch it I thought I saw a flush of relief came into her pale cheek as she said in a lower voice on the stone seat in the garden I hurried away leaving Don Pedro still protesting I knew the gardens and the stone seat at an angle of the wall not a dozen yards from the casa the moon shone full upon it there indeed lay the little grey feathered fan but beside it also lay the crumpled black gold embroidered riding gauntlet that Enrique had worn at the rodeo I thrust it hurriedly into my pocket and ran back as I passed through the gateway I asked the peon to send Enrique to me the man stared did I not know that Don Enrique had ridden away two minutes ago when I reached the veranda I handed the fan to mismanagedly without a word we know said Don Pedro gravely it's as well there shall be no bones broken over the getting of him for Enrique I here has had to return to Encina this very evening mismanagedly retired early I did not inform her of my discovery now did I seek in any way to penetrate her secret there is no doubt that she and Enrique had been together perhaps not for the first time but what was the result of their interview from the young girls demeanor and Enrique's hurried departure I could only fear the worst for him had he been tempted into some further extravagance and been angrily rebuked or had he about a real passion concealed under his exaggerated mask and been deliberately rejected I tossed uneasily half the night following in my dreams my poor friends hurrying hoof beats and I was starting from my sleep at what I thought was the sound of calipin hooves I rose early and lunged into the patio but others were there before me and a small group of Don Pedro's family were excitedly discussing something and I fancied they turned away awkwardly and consciously as I approached there was an air of indifferent uneasiness everywhere a strange fear came over me with the chill of the early morning air had anything happened to Enrique I had always looked upon his extravagance as part of his playful humour could it be possible that under the sting of rejection he had made his clotus threat of languishing efface material surely Miss Manaslee would know or suspect something if it were the case I approached one of the Mexican women and asked if the sonorita had risen the woman started covertly round before she replied did not Pancho know that Miss Manaslee and her maid had not slept in their beds that night but had gone none knew where for an instant I felt an appalling sense of my own responsibility in this suddenly serious situation and hurried after retreating family group but as I entered the corridor a vacura touched me on the shoulder he had evidently just dismounted and was covered with dust of the road not written in pencil on a leaf from Miss Manaslee's sketchbook it was in Enrique's hand and his signature was followed by his most extravagant rubric friend Pancho when you read this line you shall have a possibility think I am no more that's where you shall sleep up my little brother I am much more I am two times as much I have married Miss Boston with the hand of my venerable uncle-in-law you shall say to him that we fly to the south wilderness as a combined evangelical missionary to the heathen Miss Boston herself said this Tata, how are you now your own Enrique end of

Good morning traders, Patrick Muller here with another tip on chartets. I want to draw your attention this morning to a developing opportunity in the Aussie CAD daily time frame. We're in this descending trend channel correcting into the advance from the March lows and we have what looks to be a five-way pattern developing here and I'm looking at a fourth wave high here at this 94-46 area. We have the monthly, weekly and other daily volume weighted average prices turning negative, bearish reversal pattern yesterday and I'm looking for a breakdown through 93-50. I'm hoping to move to target a low here into the descending trendline support at 91-30. As always, traders, plan the trade, trade plan, most importantly, manage your risk. So next time, thanks very much.


So yeah, hi, my name is Paolo Belcastro and I'm the lead organizer of Workamp Europe 2017. I've been organizing Workamp Europe in a capacity or another for the last five editions, or like all five editions. And, well, today I think it's very simple. The workamp world is a world with a moving center. The center of that world today is here in Paris. We have only a partial count, of course, because, you know, the day is still going, but we have right now already counted 1600 present and probably it's going to be 1800 for today. We expect a lot of people that didn't come today to come tomorrow. A, because it's Saturday. And interesting, this is a first. We sold 500 tickets to the local community here. So that's really, really interesting. We have people from 82 countries. So that's another reason why you should be here because it's not every day you meet people from 82 countries and you're not in an airport. So we decided this year to have a program that was a little more slow paced than the last year. Last year we heard the feedback from people saying, well, there's so many presentations going that it's hard to go from one to the other if you need to change room, we have to run. So this year we decided that every presentation would use a one hour slot, but it's broken down into 30 minutes presentation, 10 minutes Q&A, and a 20 minutes break. So we want to give people a chance to meet each other, to talk, to have a coffee. And less presentations has also allowed us to be extremely selective in the speakers. And we have amazing speakers. The lineup is impressive. Honestly, I don't have everybody in my mind right now, but I couldn't mention we had an amazing presentation on design by John Mehta earlier today. Mark Jakwit, one of the lead developers of WordPress, spoke a couple of hours later. We had Petja Rykovska was the lead organizer of World Camp Europe last year and lead of the Polyglot team. Tomorrow we have Andronasin, who, as many people may have noticed, is not in all World Camps anymore, but makes us the honor of coming here. Tomorrow too we have an interview with Matt Mullenweg by Om Malik, also going to be a great moment. And there's many, many, many others that I can't mention everyone. The schedule is on the website by the way, www.Europe.WorldCamp.org. If you have a ticket and you're in Paris and Paris sort of distracted you because it's an amazing city, come here tomorrow. You'll have time to visit Paris many, many times in your life. World Camp Europe 2017 is going to be finished tomorrow night. And the second thing I would like to say is tomorrow night there's the after party and that's also a moment not to miss. Ask anyone who was at the party last year.

Let's Do a start here. So this is actually a video presented for the new system cloud gardens and It's I don't think it's open world. I think it's just a your world within your world That um, you can explore it. But I think it's limited it. I think it has content as well. I might be wrong, but um from what I See here This is up for exploration But the world is with it's not really a very big open world that we can explore not like genshin impact. So This is actually one of the things that the developers thought about before releasing the game before Um, they actually paused it and released the current version that we have now I think after the development or further development of this They are actually convinced that this can be launched already. So going back to new cloud garden system available Um, era veil is located among the mountains in northern astra So navigators can freely move in era veil via the third person perspective of Calistites following the guidance to unlock highest in tower store museum foundation of hope and other main buildings in the cloud gardens to be able to To gather materials catch fish and collect things So it's just an opportunity for us to collect more resources In addition, navigators can invite ororians to live in the uh garden dorms to be able to talk to them Exploring the entire era veil with them so we can assign again ororians to specific locations Navigators can also invite friends over for a visit and go Also to visit their friends. So more interesting cloud garden features are with you to explore Please bring your ororians and explore freely in the cloud garden So you have to unlock main stage three that's three And system entrance is main screen cloud garden. So there'll be a icon there in the main screen So this will also be launched on june 2 new ororian breakthrough items So lamber crystals so lamber drus and so lamber seal.

There are new Now three tiers instead of the previous one tier for welcome back navigator quest rewards So I think this is rewards for navigators coming back to the game once you reach the required amount of return points You can claim the rewards for the current set. So also additional rewards for those who You know have come back to the game or are going to come back to the game And this is the part two that I'm That I mentioned the anniversary add-ons so anniversary celebration Bring exclusive recruitment enlightened illumination exclusive or in Reinhardt So this exclusive recruitment is available for a limited time And a special star flares can be used to recruit from this pool during the limiter. Well, okay This or I will not be available in other recruitment. So we'll go into the details of Reinhardt later because You'll only from advanced reading you can only recruit her from this event And she won't be available in any banners up to december Up until to december 31. So this is very crucial that you get her from this banner Especially if you are really interested in getting her So the rest of The rest of the This the recruitment details are the same as the previous one Guaranteed mechanism in recruitment an exclusive recruitment If the six star orion featured in this recruitment is not obtained within two consecutive attempts Then the next six star orion Obtained through this recruitment would definitely be the featured orion six star Featured six star orion. So if you if there have been two six stars that it's not going to be Reinhardt The third one would guarantee her drop. So that is what it basically means Okay, limited time recruitment with new orion barion Barton deft blades So for Barton you can get him here But once you don't get him from this banner, he will be added Added to the mainstream recruitment all subsequent limited recruitment When the update is live on june 23 and will have the same chance of appearing as any non-event or orions of the same rating. So If you want to concentrate on reinhardt, then you know go for it if you still want to get Barton then definitely Go for it, but he will still be available after this banner unlike reinhardt She's going to be available December 31 as I read in advance Number three is anniversary celebration bonus part one.

This I think is Is is actually related to the hundred times free recruitment. I think this is it And note Illumina special flares are limited items. They will disappear After the Reinhardt recruitment is over and will not be converted to other items Okay, so I might be wrong, but um, this is where we get our free ones Up to 10 times But this is only one one up to 10 times 10 days Anyway, once once we drop once the event drums will have more clarity on the hundred free summons for this anniversary Oh, kiddo key and limited time double drops event will also have This will just be double drops on resource stages that we usually farm and Gonna not gonna go through it This is also interesting first purchase times two reset.
