Well it seems like Facebook Libra is actually going to launch. I said this last year, I think without a shadow of a doubt Facebook Libra will launch. However, how they originally planned to launch with their stablecoin is not going to happen as intended. It's more or less originally they had a different basket of different types of collateral associated with their stablecoin. Now according to a report from the Financial Times, Facebook backed cryptocurrency Libra could launch in January. More interesting though, the Libra association created by Facebook could scale back its ambitions once again. Like I just said a second ago, their original plans, which when it first came out, I was like either this is a genius move that they're coming out to gauge the environment or this is just the stupidest thing ever.  When it was first unveiled, the Libra cryptocurrency was supposed to be a brand new currency tied to a basket of fiat currencies and securities. Multiple different assets. Originally, it wouldn't be based on a single real world currency, but on a mix of multiple currencies. Many central banks and regulators have been concerned about this vision. That's why the Libra association started working on several single currency stablecoins.  So the Libra association now plans to launch a single dollar backed coin, it's just going to compete against USDT and USDC. Now what's interesting about this, I think there's two things that's going to come about once Facebook Libra launches. So there's two camps.  And I agree. I think Facebook has, it has seen its heyday and everything they're doing right now is a sign that they're trying to catch up to where we are, meaning they're doing things in the past. They're trying to make up for their lack of innovation. So there's two groups of people. One they're saying this is going to be great, the other group is saying it's bad. I actually see silver lining in this. Number one, I actually believe net positively that this is a pro net benefit towards the whole Web3 ecosystem. This is going to be a stablecoin that's backed to the US dollar and yes, it's going to be heavily regulated and yes, it's going to be KYC and AML because it's associated with your Facebook account, with your WhatsApp account.  They're doing this to compete against Alibaba, Alipay and they have the ecosystems with Shopify. They have the ecosystems with WhatsApp so they can integrate the Libra across all the entities and properties that they're associated with and the properties that they own. So there's huge revenue potential for Facebook right now and they need it because they've been losing out on advertisements. Now the negative in this obviously is like, hey, we know exactly where you're spending money. We know exactly what you're doing and if we don't agree with what you're doing, we will blacklist you. No different than what USDC, USDT can do. More or less it's centralized tokens that they control. However, the silver lining in this is what I see is this will now open up Pandora's box and show people, hey, there's this thing called a stablecoin. Hey, there's this thing called cryptocurrencies. Hey, there's this thing called a token and not everybody but a small percentage of these people who start using Libra like, hey, what's this Bitcoin thing? What's this Ethereum thing? Oh, I never realized that Facebook is using KYC and AMO. I never realized they can hold my money. Oh, I never realized that they can just stop me from doing what I want to do. Oh, cool, Zcash. Oh, cool, Monero. Oh, cool, tornado cat. Oh, cool privacy stuff. So I actually believe that this is going to be a net positive that there's going to be a small but significant amount to remember. Facebook total reach is more than a billion people with all the different platforms that they have. So I think in the long run, this is a net benefit where a lot of people will flow over into the rest of the Web 3 ecosystem, which will then propagate and cross-pollinate into other projects. So keep an eye on this. This is brand new news. It just came out today. I mentioned this the minute it came out, no matter what. Doesn't matter what iteration or manifestation, how it's going to look like, no matter what Facebook Libra will launch. And here we are. It's going to be launching maybe in 2021. But at the end of the day, this is a net positive in my mind. I would like to know what you think. Leave a comment below. Let me know what you think about Facebook Libra. And if this is going to be a net positive, say yes. If there's going to be a net negative, say no. And I will see you guys tomorrow. Peace out.


Well, good evening. Good evening. Good evening. Hey everyone Dustin Schaffer here. I am super excited I'll be hosting you through tonight.  That means 25 for most of you And any of my co-host out there if you can help a new to anybody that'd be super awesome I think or help mood everybody if that be a super awesome but I'm excited to share a little bit about this conversation a little bit about our team this community and what we're a Part of and there's a good chance if you're listening to this that you probably either a have experienced our product in some Capacity or be you know somebody that's experienced our product or as excited about What we're doing here with prove it and within our team and so in the chat if you don't mind I would love for just a few of you to put in where you're from I know some of you've already doing that but putting the chat where you're from It's kind of neat to see the people all around the world different places different demographics in here But also I'd love for you to just put in the chat What's that one benefit that you got from ketones drinking ketones or what's that one benefit you got from being part of this community? You know being part of this team. What have you got to experience through that journey and then maybe what's one thing? I know that's a lot of questions What's one thing that you've gotten to do Since being part of this community that maybe you you weren't going to do before you didn't get to do before And if you're new and just watching this look at the chat I think you'll get a really cool understanding of the power of what we have our hands on and the power of what we're going to do We have 128 people on which is really exciting to see and I'm very excited to kick this off. So once again, I'm going to introduce myself Right full screen and we're in speaker view. I think we should be good.  Just curious You see me. Oh sweet. I see Tina. So I can't see myself. That's all right So y'all my name is Dustin Schaefer. I've been a passionate dad I am a passionate dad husband and I've just always lived a life to want to help and serve others my wife likes to tell me I don't have the extreme financial Motivation, but I am motivated by impacting changing lives I've been through it for almost five and a half years and It's done everything to help me change my life and it really it didn't do it for me It gave me the opportunity to make an impact and change my life It gave me the tools that I needed to do that But before we really talk about this team in this community What I want to do is is I want to talk a little bit about the power of the technology and the power of what we have our hands on and So if you don't know a lot about ketones, maybe you've been using ketones to drink it on yourself Maybe you're kind of like yeah, I'm trying to most people come for fat loss Some people come for energy and then you start to feel all the other benefits the mental clarity the focus the mood the sleep Maybe athletic performance, but most of us start for once one particular reason Now some of you maybe started because you wanted to join the team as a business right away Most don't join that way And what's really important I think for people maybe that are looking at this of to be part of our team is What does it really mean to This have a product like this and a product like this is something that Truly is in what I would consider from a health and health and wellness perspective Once in a lifetime opportunity to bring something state of the art new back back by the top scientists in the world This this original patent started for the Navy SEALs NASA was looking into the same technology And for many years before proof it got its hands on it people tried to get it and bring it to the market But they couldn't figure out how to make it taste good and make it natural make it clean and make it healthy And that was a big challenge And so over the last five and a half years the word keto Has been has blown up. It's the most google world word in the health and wellness space today and The keto conversation has become the one of the biggest fastest growing conversation in the world And that one did not have happened if proof it went to have decided to make ketones drinkable Versus just trying to do diets. This is something if you think back, you know 30 40 50 years ago protein shakes wasn't a thing yet Right and somebody had to create it somebody had to bring it to the world And this is something that is obviously way more powerful than a protein shake. What will ever be This is something that you know that the top minds in the world are are studying and understanding and have educated So many on the power of this so it's really cool that we get to bring A cutting-edge product that literally changes people's lives. It changes their bio chemistry It helps him impact their DNA and not only that because the product is so powerful Prove it has brought and has collaborated and worked with the top thought leaders from the top researchers in metabolic health Which means that how to metabolically means how do you manage fat loss and get your body to metabolize fat more efficiently to keep you healthy The top researchers in human cognition and anti-aging the top researchers in human performance Uh in testing the human body Not only that is the top minds in just longevity and vitality And we do the top we're the leading educators in the world behind this product and we feel that it's really important that If you're going to join their team and be part of this you want to know that you're backed by the scientists You're backed by a product that's that's scientifically evident Uh, it's a product that everybody needs and it's a very natural way for us to be and feel and change our lives And so with that said and done, um, I'm going to share my story here in just a little bit But i'm really excited before I do that. I'm going to introduce a couple people to share their stories I want you to hear What this community can do because as a team our mission is to become the best version of ourselves Listen, how often can you get as healthy as you possibly can? How often can you share that with other people and don't have to be the scientist or the smart person to do that? But you can genuinely share something that has helped you or that can help other people live a better life And to me, that's really cool And and as we share a couple of these testimonials, I want to talk about I want you to hear their message because we all know that this product is state-of-the-art If you haven't experienced yet, there's plenty of science. There's plenty of that you will experience but Really, what does it mean for us as an opportunity? What does it mean for us as a team? Can we do maybe you're a person right now that is Like myself that worked worked your butt off, but it was never getting ahead financially. Maybe you're somebody that It doesn't take your dream vacation. Maybe you're somebody that is stressed to the gills and looking for a community of people to be around that can help you elevate yourself to live a better life Maybe you're somebody right now that has a full-time job To pay your bills and you don't have anything part-time to create your fortune And that's what Prove It has done for me is has given me the opportunity part-time to create my future Fortune that we've been able to create in the lifestyle that my wife and I really want it for our lives And so i'm super super excited to introduce somebody to you That I think a lot of you are going to resonate with And so right now if you don't mind all you moms in the in the uh, if you that are watching and listening to this in the Chat box right now all you moms. I want you to just put down there What's one benefit as a mom if this is given to you?

My name is Samantha Rose Georgia um, so when I first got introduced to prove it I was introduced to the product and I absolutely fell in love with the product like It made me feel like a new human. I was a tired mom I was a full-time student at the time and working like seven nights a week So for me, all I was focused on was Autopilot wake up take the kids to school and work and I love the product and I naturally wanted to share it So when the person introduced me to this product, he's like, you know what you'd be really good at this He told me I'd be really good. You should share this you can make some extra money And as a mom, I was like absolutely. Yes.  I wanted to share it with people and that's exactly what I did I shared it with my mom I shared it with my best friend And I shared it with a couple other people around me And I got started as a promoter And that month without any strategy without really trying just excited loving the product I logged into my account and it was like, oh, I made like 200 bucks this month. That's awesome. I was like 250 And I just remember thinking like wow if I did that Without any strategy without really putting a lot of thought into it I know that I can put something into this and I can make something out of it I had faith in it. So I didn't really want to get on any of the calls at first I wasn't open-minded like Dustin mentioned. I was not there like But something in me one day.  I love it But I learned as I grew it wasn't something that I needed experience with we have so many systems We have the best team and so much support So just plugging into the systems and doing stuff like this is really how I grew my proof of business. I love it Well, hi, Sam. I we've appreciated your growth and watching you grow through this has been quite remarkable Because I think I've grown as much if not more than you have through this because at the beginning I didn't know what I was doing I just knew that I wanted to change something in my life And I knew that if we could follow a system that that that's proven that we could actually make that difference And so thank you so much for sharing. I truly appreciate it Um, and I'm gonna kick it over to another young lady. Uh, well, she's in her prime She's the a ripe young age of 50 straight out of Canada and this is past her bedtime. You also I just want to be completely transparent. Jen likes to go to bed nice and early But when I met Jen, you know, you knew that, um, you know, she's a fitness girl She she ran her own business and yet at the same time, you know, things weren't working out the way She had had planned it to work out. So Jen, I'd love for you to share the story of how this prove it This community and this opportunity helped you shift your life Hey everybody, how are you? Thank you so much for having me on and letting me share my story Um, and I hope this this resonates with some of you because For me, um, almost five years ago now. I was forced to shut down my CrossFit gym It was a really tough time in my life and, um, I had invested a lot of years almost 10 years of my life building that business But I was pretty much burnt out financially burnt out health burnt out and luckily I was I found ketones actually through another CrossFit gym owner and It changed my life physically, but it also has changed my life financially And I want to share with you, you know here in Canada We are going through an extended lockdown period again What prove it has done for me from a business perspective Has it has allowed me to reopen a gym in a new town where I live now Without the stress that I had before so The income that I get from prove it allows me to run my gym without having to worry If I have enough members or if I'm going to be able to pay my bills and during this last year There's been You know times where I thought my goodness. I don't know how other businesses are surviving right now that are forced to close and It's If I don't think if it was if it wasn't for prove it I would have not been able to keep things afloat with my gym and It allows me to really you know do what I love which is coaching people and helping people In my gym, but it also has allowed me to Help people in a bigger way and that's something I never really thought about before and I wish I had kind of thought about that in the past because it probably Would have meant that I wouldn't have had to shut my other gym down Everything happens for a reason but um All of this to say is that my plan b with prove it has become my plan a and my gym Is like my fun time and my coaching there and helping people one on one is my fun time Whereas and prove it's my fun time too. It's a lot of fun to do this um It's just that it takes the pressure off and it takes the stress off so I just get to do what I love to do which is help people in a bigger way and um You know the last thing I would say is the power of this community is Unbelievable so You know coming from crossfit anyone out there who's part of the crossfit community will know There it's such a tight knit community It's very supportive and people are all supporting people to become better And so when I found prove it I was like wow This is something that really aligns with who I am as a person That is helping people to become better and inspiring them to become better And this community is really all about that is supporting people Um to really grow, you know in all ways Um, it's it's been amazing and as somebody who's been around the block a few times in a lot of different industries in the past I can't believe the training the support and just the mentorship that I have received in this community Far beyond anything else in my careers. Um in the past. So yeah I just wanted to share that perspective as a business owner and as somebody who's kind of Being in multiple industries. It's so much fun and um, yeah I'm just so excited that you guys are all on here and you know, we'll hopefully get to share this as well Awesome. Jen. Hey, let you out of that cage up there. Uh, I've called Canada here soon Next year maybe That's super awesome, you know in as being a former marine and the college football player community is to me Is everything and and to have a community of people because I know sometimes it's not easy at home Or your friends your loved ones maybe are not part of your community Or maybe they don't want to go where you're going and so to have like-minded people that are trying to improve their Health improve their lifestyle. Maybe do more for other people To have a community of people like that or that are challenging you and supporting you. It's pretty powerful I think it's I think it's it's it's a must if you want to shift your life in a big way The last story we're going to share Is going to be the Lola. Hey Lola. How are you? Hello, I'm good. How are you awesome really quick? Just just for people to know give us a 30 second or 10 second product story for us And then I want you to share what this community opportunity and and what proof it's done for you Sure. So when I found Key Tones, I was already doing a very strict pretty hard for Ketogenic diet. So I was about six months into following the diet I had already talked about 60 pounds But when Key Tones were introduced to me, I realized I didn't have to be as strict I can kind of lose some of the reins a little bit and still you know go on to lose 100 pounds And now using them to help maintain It's just been it's incredible Absolutely incredible. Well, that's awesome. So what is this? What is this opportunity done for you when you got started to now? What's made that shift for you and how long you've been doing it? So I've been drinking and sharing Key Tones for almost three years now and I do work a full-time job So I do commercial insurance by day But you know, I sit at a desk for seven and a half hours working towards somebody else's dream And just really it's just a means, you know to make a living and when Crew that came into my life It just opened up a whole another world to me combined my love of the science behind the ketogenic diet And my love of the ketones just introduced me to a whole Level of that I you know was introduced to doctors that formulate the program and bond on to like further You know study with them and now you're doing courses with dr. Ryan Lowry one of the creators of our product and was we mentoring with him? But it's just it's been absolutely amazing to be able to utilize a product to help me reach my goals But in turn also be able to help others and you know create a living at the same time It's really just it's a win-win and the community is something that I didn't know I needed You know, I think when my kids are grown to think when we get older, you know We go to work every day we come home and you know, you don't really have much of a social life anymore So this has brought a whole new community of friends and become moderate ship that I never knew I needed Well, that's awesome I think that's a very much a sense in the mentorship and guidance you talking about dr Ryan Lowry who's one of the top experts in the world of ketosis and he has programs I mean literally Lola has becoming like coach. She wanted to learn more about it And she had a role to be able to do that and what's cool about this is that you get the opportunity to play the role that you want We always talk about be you be don't try to be Cameron Moss. Don't be Lola. Don't be Jen. Don't be sam be yourself And there's an opportunity for people to play play a role in that I'm going to tell my story that I'm going to hand it off to my partner in crime That's up on top of the screen and she's going to give us a little bit more of what this opportunity could be for you and ways to get started For me I was I'm I'm I'll be honest. I'm an ambitious person. I like to work hard Working hard has never scared me But about nine years ago, my wife said I underachieve and I don't help enough people And so we went on a quest to start finding ways to create more opportunity financially for our family to live better We were both working 60 70 hours a week. We had homes, but we didn't have time And I needed five thousand dollars extra a month so that I could walk my son to school and pick him up And I was determined to find that I wanted to find a way to shift my life And I knew that if I didn't change what I was doing, I wasn't going to change I knew that it wasn't going to change and so I started looking into community-based marketing I tried different company. I didn't try different companies. I looked into different companies, but I had to find a Company that focused on a product and a technology and science I'm I'm a purist when it comes to nutrition and and health and wellness So if the product isn't clean, I'm not going to stand behind it But I really wanted a company that was willing to train me because if they just told me what to do I'm going to do it right and the mentorship and the systems and the community had trained us. So my part-time Gig was going to create my fortune. My full-time job was was paying the bills basically And so I knew that I didn't want to just pay bills I wanted to create something for my family just like all these young ladies Well, Jen, you're young too young ladies Wanted for themselves and Lola's on her path to do the same thing help more people and create a fortune for herself And and I just got to ask you all if you want something better in your life What does it look like and what's your plan? And I learned this from our CEO very early on he said if it's not this Then what is it if you're not going to do this? What is that and I'm very fortunate that my wife and I were able to walk away from our careers my wife's an attorney we do this full time we have businesses in 27 countries and We get to create our family wealth and we get to do this with our community with our family and build teams and And so if you're somebody out there that has big dreams and big powers This is an opportunity if you're somebody out there right now that wants 200 or 300 dollars This is an opportunity and we're going to stand behind you as a team to support you in that journey and To do this somebody somebody asks a question there So I just want to say it there's other companies like this out there that are in this similar industry as ours and we call it community-based marketing for a reason is because This is about a community about education and about a product that we get to share because it's it's a powerful tool to help people change their lives And there is an opportunity financially if you want to build a team with us if you want to help more people and so The person that's going to share that opportunity you is a great friend of mine and when I first met her it was I mean she was Closed in bread.

Now in Northern Kenya the reps of a dead sheep stretch towards the blazing sun as perched hedges trudge past a day's march from water. The value of their skinny goats is falling as fast as the prices crawled on the sacks in the market are shooting up. For some in Northern Kenya their wealth is held in livestock but under a blazing sun the work of a lifetime is evaporating. Consecutive droughts are pushing millions of people towards hunger. In the arid terrain of Masabit County, Herda Bigheri is pointing out the animals he's lost. This is my donkey and it died because of the drought. There is no pasture or water. My donkey has died. Sheep and goats have died too. Only God will help me.  And the situation is getting worse, with climate change expected to increase the frequency and severity of droughts in the region. This is the second season in a row that rains have failed here. What that means according to the United Nations World Food Programme is 2.4 million people struggling to find enough to eat by November. Food prices are also climbing, in turn reducing the value of the pastoralists' skinny goats. Herda Moses Loloju volunteers distributing food donations. He says it no longer rains normally and when it does rain it's not enough. We came to receive the aid as we have nothing otherwise. Goats are unsellable, cows are even worse to sell and our children are starving. The UN says over 465,000 children under 5 and over 93,000 pregnant and breastfeeding women are malnourished in Kenya's north. Plan International's Regional Head for Disaster Risk Management, Maurice Nyango says previous droughts were predictable. We had longer cycles of 5 to 10 years and this meant that the pasture and water bodies would regenerate very quickly. This is no longer the case. We are seeing droughts occurring every year, sometimes every year. Temperatures in northern Kenya have climbed by approximately a third of a degree Celsius every decade since 1985, according to US government data. They are expected to rise further, Washington says, as well as the length of heat waves, making it even harder to grow crops or keep livestock. As water disappears. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.

I was like this is way cooler I'm doing Python now and specifically I like scientific programming and data analytics and machine learning stuff like that So today I'll be taught and I like doing projects. So today. I'll be talking about one such project. So Let's let me start let me start with the problem is The flu so chances are you may or may not have had the flu before so millions are affected worldwide and They're currently there isn't a great way for scientists to make vaccines for the flu So they just vote on what drugs and anybody should go into the flu vaccine for that year and this practice has been called questionable by the National Institutes of Medicine, so and Sometimes the vaccines don't always work if you remember in 2009 There was a worldwide pandemic of the H1N1 flu virus so What I wanted to do in this project was create a better way for scientists to come up with vaccines and my solution to that was to Come up to predict how flu strains would look like in the coming year So that scientists could analyze that and then have specific vaccines Tailored towards them tailored towards those specific flu strains would have a lower probability of getting sick So here is a nice graphic of how the flu infects a host So in that first panel you've got the virus, which is the small smaller Circle and the cell so those little purple dots on the outside of the virus Those are called those are called those are proteins and they attach to the receptors on the host cell So and then after the virus gets in the cell it dies and it injects It's viral DNA and RNA and it's other genetic material and as the cell grows So so do that DNA RNA and those proteins and eventually When the cell is about to die all those viruses leave the cell and they Infect and they go on to infect other cells. So from this from this from this research I To Morse I decided to look at those specific proteins those little purple dots on the outside of the cell In the flu those are called hemagglutinin and uraminidase and being biologists They had to come up with extra long names for them. So So for now, we'll just refer to them as HA and NA. So HA regulates whether the virus can enter the cell or not and NA Regulates whether that cell can whether the virus can leave the cell. So I Thought to myself if I could knock those proteins out or come up with some or Predict how they would look in the future then scientists can create vaccines which could take out those proteins and thus and Prohibit the cell from and prohibit the virus from entering the cell So this is my approach So I would first predict future genetic sequences of the flu and Scientists could analyze that and I would use and I would do that using phylogenetics and machine learning So phylogenetics is a study of is a study of the relationships between individuals on an evolutionary tree So this is pretty much a phylogenetic tree. You've probably seen one of these so So right there on the bottom you have E which is the child of F and so what I would do is I would Say hmm, how how how has the genetic sequence of E change from F and how the genetic sequence of F has changed from G So I so if I could train a machine learning model to analyze these relationships as the flu changes generation by generation then maybe I could predict like maybe a child of E a Child of E. Maybe what what would that look like? Maybe would it be a a cc? Would it be a a tc? So I wanted to figure that out So my setup was to first obtain data from the influenza research database or IR DB which is funded by the National Institutes of Health and read in the genetic sequences of hemagglutinin and your minidase and train a machine learning model based on the phylogenetic Relationships so what I wanted to do was train the relationships between G F and E so how has F change from G and how has E change from F but Me being inexperienced as I am I wasn't sure how a homemade machine learning model would work because the flu data is quite complex and I wasn't sure if my homemade algorithm could match that level of complexity and predict as well I wasn't I also wasn't sure what machine learning model to use how to measure accuracy and How to read in a fast file which is a common file format for biological data? So this is where my first library came to my rescue and that was bio Python So bio Python deals with and everything everything bio biology in Python. So What I so I use this library to get past that initial hurdle Initial hurdle of how to read in a fast file originally I was reading it in as a regular txt and that wasn't working out very well because I had when you read it in as a txt There's there it just there are a bunch of like random characters that are in a fast file would show up So what I was looking what I used to do was look for patterns Look for specific characters which show up right before the gene sequence actually shows up And that wasn't working out very well. So with a with bio Python I was able to read in a fast file much more easily So after I got past that hurdle it was time to create the algorithm myself so I did some research and I found a Decision tree Decision tree algorithm would be the best fit because it was easy for me to write and it was it would be easy for me to Debug and as well it matches a phylogenetic tree as every time a decision tree branches It it's similar to how a phylogenetic tree branches from From its parent to the children and as a decision tree branches from one question to more questions or a decision But there are lots of problems So I I wrote a classification algorithm Although I really what I really wanted was a regression algorithm as the algorithm was too simple and it underfit the data So my initial hypothesis was Was confirmed because I could not write an algorithm that matched the level of complexity that the flu data had So scikit-learn helped me as you probably most of you know I scikit-learn is the go-to machine learning a library for Python and with this I was able to use lots of algorithms I could just import them really easily. I didn't have to write them myself. So that saved a lot of time So now with bio Python and Scikit-learn by my side This is the this is my setup which is updated to reflect the change the changes that I made So the first step stays the same. I still get the data from the influenza research database Next I would read in the I would I would read in the flu genetic sequences using bio Python And I'll show you how easy it was for me to for me to get that data really to get that data Using by Python and I had to add another step which is encoding the data. So With scikit-learn or rather with my previous algorithm, I would simply input The eight the Gen X sequence, which is a big string like roughly 1700 letters long ATGC Just common just random combinations of those four letters and I could just input that directly into My flu prediction algorithm. However with scikit-learn it only takes numerical input. So I had to encode those Genetic those letters into numbers. So I had to add that step and The last step stayed pretty much the same with the exception that instead of writing my own algorithm I would use the scikit-learn library So here's this is a diagram that I drew Showing you the out the overview of everything I would do. So what I would do was create a phylogenetic Tree for each protein. So pretty much the grandparent to parent grandparent to parent to child relationships between Between flu strains next I would encode the data and then after that I would give the data to my scikit-learn algorithm and Test the accuracy using cross validation and then add more data and this and just continue doing this until I reached a favorable result So this is what I could do with bio Python in just one line I could I could read I I could get the the data which is stored in in that in HA 100 which is 100 faster files and by doing by doing that that this by turn putting them into a list I had I had one big list of all the different faster files So what it would be would be a Grandparent a parent and a child and then a group of three and then another grandparent parent child and so on for a hundred of these So instead of looking for specific characters, which signaled the beginning of a genetic sequence I could I could use I could write in one line. I and I could have all of the all of the relationships ready So this is my encoding method So essentially what I did was for a a Corresponded to one t corresponded to two and so on so what I what I would do was I would take these huge Strings of ATG G's and C's and convert them into one big number. So What I did initially was What I did initially was take these all of these letters and put them in one big int of 1700 digits and I soon found out that Only five of them were being stored. So I tried putting them in a float that worked a bit better However, it could only store up to 15 digits. So what I ended up doing and What I ended up doing was Breaking them up into floats of 15 and then putting each float of 15 digits into one big list With roughly 80 elements So I would have it one two three four five one two three four one two three four up to 15 Then another element in the list with more digits and so on for roughly 80 elements And that would be the entire genetics genetic sequence of the h8 protein and This was my this was my algorithm my Decision tree algorithm before psychic learn and this was my decision tree algorithm after So This is and this is not even the whole thing. This is like half of it. So Pretty much from 80 something lines to six so that That was Incredible, I was I was blown away like how can how for for me? I've never I've never seen this before so I was really excited and it turns out this had really good accuracy as well But there were some drawbacks in using by a python and psychic learn by python not as much but With psychic learn I was I could I was I was I was I had to stick with training my Machine learning model on simply the parent to child relationships because you in psychic learn You don't have that I couldn't add that extra generation of that grandparent Which I would like to add because you know more data always results in a better model You can't you can't beat more data So I could only go one generate what like one correlation so I could only go from parent to child and psychic learn also couldn't take letters or characters and I I wish that I could have put all of those base those base pairs those ATG C into one big int So I wish it could hold more significant digits But you can only get so much so now I'll talk about my results So This is H1N1. So H1N1 is a subtype of the flu. There are lots of different sub types So I trained mine on the most common ones which infect humans because I want to protect humans so So Each one N1 is you this was this was the one that broke out in 2009 It caused a global pandemic resulting in a lot of deaths. It was actually the most potent flu since the Spanish flu in all the way back in 1918 so This one is especially dangerous because it mutates very often and although this does not affect humans that much Thankfully, but it still mutates really quickly and that makes it really dangerous This is another flu subtype called H3N2. This is more common in humans and doesn't mutate as quickly so You probably noticed that the accuracies with these three With these three algorithms decision trees random forests and extra trees They performed a lot better in H3N2 And I think this is because H3N2 doesn't mutate as much So it's easier for the algorithm to pick up on those changes because there's not as many so This is H3N2 and this is H1N1 and those two those those two bars the yellow is the Neurominidase which regulates the exit and the blue bar is the hemagglutinin which Regulates the entry of the cell so with the exception of the decision tree algorithm and extra tree algorithm The my model performed really well So I ended up going with the random forest algorithm and these these three are all decision-based decision tree based So I compared my my Algorithm with two previous European studies. So this one right here is a German study and this one is Study done in Spain I believe so both of these do not use machine learning rather. They just rely on formulas to predict how the flu will change in the coming years and As you can see the results look very encouraging so to sum it all up I wanted to create a better way for scientists to make vaccines for the flu and by and so how I went about doing that was to Predict how the flu would change in the coming year so that scientists could create vaccines specifically tailored towards them I used biopython and scikit-learn to simplify to make my to make my algorithm shorter as you saw in the Psycho scikit-learn helped me and the results look very encouraging. So thank you all very much So yeah, I just feel I'm taking questions right now. So Anybody yeah Yeah Yes, they they code for the amino acids But what like what I decided to do was if you can take out the the Sequences that are coding for those amino acids like take out like if you can if you can Create a antibody which can perhaps change one of those sequences like I'm diving really deep into biology here, but So I believe you ta is this is the codon, which is that three Three base pair long sequence to stop coding for any more acid for any more protein So if you can maybe create an antibody which would change Which would perhaps move that little like codon For and in the beginning then you can stop that humabutinin from being coded So it won't be able to enter the cell. So I just so I was just predicting that Oh Yeah, that was a great talk. Were you able to communicate your results to any Lots of lots of APs coming up, but now it's summer now it's summer. So I think that's definitely on my to-do list Before school starts is communicate my results to scientists definitely send that sending out some emails Yeah, you said you were encoding a Set of base pairs as numbers and storing them as long floats in a list, right? So why not store them each as codon instead of a set of 15? That's actually a good question. Like I could I could actually do it that way. I think I'll definitely try it storing them as individual codons so that Scientists can like like see where each one is like Mmm, how do I? Yeah, I mean I could I could I could definitely try it like that any other questions. Yeah, all right. Thank you very much


Yesterday on the program we talked about how billionaire Elon Musk didn't like the way that Twitter was being run So he decided to just buy it Very normal and healthy society that we live in folks But you know in doing so he single-handedly saved freedom of speech in the United States You see we didn't have freedom of speech on Sunday But on Monday when this one billionaire decided to buy a social media platform That's when freedom of speech Returned to the United States and it's it's a beautiful site folks And if you're skeptical as to whether or not he actually cares and is committed to the principle of freedom of speech Well, he took the Twitter after the news broke to assure his critics that they still will indeed be welcome on the platform saying I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter because that is what free speech means sounds great But what he says is very different than what he does in fact his actions don't line up with the rhetoric that he's espousing here and It's really frustrating that you know what I'm seeing at least from normie discourse is that this really is about freedom of speech And this is a victory for freedom of speech, but this isn't about freedom of speech This is about a billionaire consolidating the power that he already has and making himself even more powerful and Influencing culture even more likely to the benefit of his many businesses But if you are convinced that he really does care about freedom of speech Well, there's a story that media I had reminded us of that shows that Elon Musk does not care about freedom of speech In fact, he's one of the most petty people in the country and this is a billionaire He doesn't have to be petty. He can have any hobby. He wants to do whatever he wants, but he's one of the most petty people Ever now we talked on the show yesterday about this and I brought up how he canceled the Tesla order of a blogger Who was simply mean to him? But this story proves that Elon Musk does not give a damn about freedom of speech because he actually Harassed and bullied one individual off of Twitter completely because this person was a journalist who chose To hold Tesla and Elon Musk in particular accountable So media aides Michael Luciano explains Lawrence Fosse was working as a portfolio manager in Manhattan at the time That Monday would have been an otherwise unremarkable day at the office But for a phone call from an irate and litigious Elon Musk a colleague relayed the billionaire's message Elon Musk says you're a very bad person and you're writing bad things about him Fosse recalled the colleague explaining He's going to have to sue you and he's going to have to drag your boss into it Fosse was incredulous, but quickly realized this was no office prank The CEO of Tesla Motors had actually called his office and threatened to make his life miserable by threatening Litigation so keep in mind this was back in 2018 So what exactly did Fosse do to have Elon Musk himself make a phone call to Fosse's manager and threaten litigation? well He was critical of Elon Musk his offense He criticized Elon Musk online beginning in 2015 He wrote dozens of articles critical of Tesla on the popular crowdsourced finance site seeking alpha I would take a close look at its financial statements and write about things that struck me as wrong He explained writing under the nom de plume Montana skeptic Fosse dissected company filings and provided wonkish Analysis to make the bear case against Tesla which did not respond to a request for comment on this story He penned dozens of missives, but some stand out more than others Fosse wrote He believed at Tesla overstated its profits and papered over losses in its statements He also wondered if Tesla was hoodwinking Nevada in its deal with the state to make its electric vehicle batteries there Another time he questioned Tesla's claims about the safety of its vehicles in another piece Fosse declared New York State Had gotten a raw deal after investing nearly one billion in a factory for Tesla to build solar panels as part of its solar energy business Fosse was also active on Twitter using the Montana skeptic moniker and tweeted links to his articles as well as other thoughts about Tesla and Musk Eventually one protest the online sleuth outed him as the man behind the accounts on Twitter and seeking alpha a little more than a week Later Fosse said that's when Musk rang his boss. What especially irked him was Musk's first line of recourse He had never once attempted to contact me to say I think you got something wrong in your article factually Fosse said He didn't email me or have anybody from Tesla do that whenever I discovered I had made errors I would always correct them in the article up front in a note that was prominent and make note of my error So in the end what happened was Fosse was successfully Silenced by Elon Musk because Elon Musk called Fosse's manager will care and move by the way and Threaten them with a lawsuit and even if Elon Musk had no legal ground to stand on still Fosse decided It wasn't worth it to put my employer through this because even if we can win this lawsuit That's a lot of money for legal fees up front, right? It costs money to defend yourself even if you're in the right So rather than putting his employer through that he just pledged to stop criticizing Elon Musk and also he deleted the Twitter account associated with this moniker that he had and then Elon Musk left them alone That's the pro free speech Elon Musk Very very pro speech of him to bully a journalist into silence unbelievable Now the thing about these types of lawsuits is you know These companies they throw their weight around knowing that the person who they're punching down on doesn't have sufficient money To actually defend themselves in court something similar happened to me not of course as as drastic But I played a 30-second clip from CBS news back in like 2016 2017 And it was a Donald Trump interview I feel like the interview that this outlet published with our president was important so it was it was obviously fair use I was using it for discussion and CBS news they decided to do a copyright strike shut down the video I appealed as I usually do and I said this is fair use it meets the criteria of fair use I believe in good faith that my assessment is valid and they simply responded by saying we disagree and our legal team We're willing to go to court to settle this matter And so what did I have to do? I had to back down because yeah, I know that I'm in the right I know that my use of a 30-second clip of the president in a news video is going to fall under the criteria of fair use But I don't have the money to defend myself in court So it's an automatic dub for them and this is what billionaires do they throw their weight around This is what very powerful institutions in the US do they throw their weight around and they silence their critics So if you think that this is about freedom of speech I've got a bridge to sell you because this is about Elon Musk Consolidating his power Imagine if Elon Musk was petty enough to call the manager of somebody who wrote mean articles about him And they weren't even necessarily mean they were Journalistic articles looking at the financials of this major company who's getting tax subsidies So that's a public good But I mean if Elon Musk was petty enough to do that Imagine what he can now do on Twitter if some journalist with a million of followers is overly critical of Elon Musk He could simply Thanos snap them out of existence like that and they're gone that major platform Which they use to get out the word about their journalistic work Can be gone like that and it's not just silencing journalists I mean what Elon Musk can do is suppress all of the Competitors to Tesla and he says that he's not going to do that. He'll make the algorithm open source but Does anyone actually believe that he'll follow through with all this does anyone believe that he'll be incredibly transparent about Twitter if He's not transparent about a company like Tesla which makes him lots and lots of money It made him a billionaire literally so I mean this is not About freedom of speech. This is about corporate consolidation billionaires getting more Power and using their wealth to basically take over society and look Elon Musk and this Twitter issue It's a microcosm of a bigger issue as good politics guy pointed out on Twitter billionaire Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post Billionaire John Henry owns the Boston Globe billionaire Sheldon Adelson owns the Las Vegas Review Journal billionaire Loreen Powell owns the Atlantic Billionaire Patrick soon shiung owns the Los Angeles Times billionaire Mark Benioff owns time I mean in our society billionaires effectively control all major media outlets and as a result They literally are able to warp our view of the world We see the world through their lens and that's not to say that like these outlets are always going to be bad Right, I mean the Washington Post has a couple of good journalists there Taylor Lorenz Jeff Stein These are good people who do good work, but when it comes to any story related to Amazon or unionization or worker rights I think you have to be a lot more skeptical knowing that they have a heavy Disincentive to talk about things that their owner doesn't like and it's not just what they talk about and how they cover certain stories It's what they choose to not cover, right? So billionaires are taking control of our society and this is kind of a predictable outcome in a capitalist system We're currently in a late-stage capitalist hellscape, but this was always the trajectory If you don't try to reign in capitalism with at least some regulations and controls This is the inevitable outcome and that's what we're seeing here So this isn't about freedom of speech by any means. This is about Elon Musk using Twitter to his advantage However, he sees fit if you think this is about freedom of speech Congratulations, you've been duped by a billionaire


Hello everybody! In today's video, I'll show you my top 10 password managers for computers and smartphones. If you need to recover deleted data, view or restore removed browser history. Hetman software products will help you. Follow the link in the description, download the necessary program for free, install it and analyze the disk. The utility will show you the data you can recover, so you will be able to view it or get it back. In our channel and blog, you will find solutions to any problem, from installing an operating system or configuring it to fixing possible bugs and errors or optimizing mobile gadgets. Our specialists will answer any questions you ask in your comments, under the videos or articles. It would take a superhuman brain to remember all the passwords you created for various online services, social media and game accounts. If it's too difficult for you to memorize even a few, you'd better use a special utility – password manager. There's to have everything done for you. For students, it will ask you to generate a most complicated password for each of the websites you use regularly. And then we'll save it to its memory in a local or cloud-based storage. I have selected 10 most popular password managers to help you protect your accounts from hacking and make your life easier. Now, you won't have to memorize lots of passwords – the utility will do it for you. All you need is to memorize a single password to access the manager data. So, let's begin. But before we start, let's consider how password managers store their data. As I said before, password information may be kept either in the cloud-based service or locally on your computer. Each of the methods has its pros and cons, and it's up to you to decide which is more important – convenience or maximum protection for your data. Synchronization and storing data in cloud service are very convenient as all passwords are available for all devices where you need them. However, if the online storage gets hacked, your passwords may fall into intruders' hands. Storing data locally is safer, but less convenient. As long as a password is saved to your PC, you can't fill in password fields automatically when you use a different device, so you will have to time the password every time. With dozens of accounts you may wish to create for various websites, this method becomes all the more awkward. Finally, let's have a closer look at the top 10 password managers. In the luck position, we have OnePassword. OnePassword is a popular password manager app. It works without an Internet connection, but it can also synchronize data using iCloud and Dropbox, Wi-Fi or shared folders on a computer. With OnePassword, you can share access to passwords with family and friends by adding them to your trusted contacts. This app is available for Android, iOS, Mac and Windows. Additionally, you can install it as an extension for popular browsers like Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Safari. Also, there is a version for mobile devices with a 30-days free trial period. Position 9 goes to Splickety. It's another password manager without any special options. It's got automatic synchronization, extension for popular browsers and a mobile app. In our rating, Splickety ranks 9 because of its simple, stylish and extremely convenient interface. This service would be an excellent choice for those who never dealt with password managers before. The app is available for Android, iOS and web and is commercial, so you will have to pay for using it. Number 8 of this rating is OneSafe. It presents a wide range of functions. Beside the classic password manager, the app can block access to files or folders on a computer and back up password data regularly to flash drives, optical disks, portable HDDs and other media. In addition, OneSafe has a feature called DecoySafe. This service uses it to create fake accounts and let the hackers attack them instead of the actual user account. The application is available in Android and Mac versions and it's fully commercial. Position 7 is occupied by Safe in Cloud. It features a password generator and autofill for any websites. This program works with such browsers as Safari, Firefox, Opera and Google Chrome, and it can also synchronize data between different versions of its applications for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android. OneSafe feature is using your own cloud-based storage, Dropbox, Google Drive, Yandex disk and OneDrive. Safe in Cloud is available free of charge for Android, iOS, Mac and Windows. In the middle of our rating, we can see Rubberform. In addition to the password manager functionality, it can also protect you from phishing attacks. This service remembers or recognizes correct links or links that involve advertising and warns the user of any threats should they emerge. The app is available for Android, iOS, Mac, Windows and Linux. You can choose between a commercial version that supports synchronization with a computer and a free version. We gave Position 5 to Dashlane. When you start it for the first time, Dashlane examines the passwords you have created before and if any of them seems too weak, it suggests modifying it or generating and saving the new more reliable password instead. Dashlane will show a notification if one of your accounts is hacked and suggests blocking such account and changing the password data. In addition, Dashlane can save receipts for your online purchases, store your bank data, bank card numbers, account numbers and other confidential information. Safe in Cloud is available free of charge for Android, iOS, Mac and Windows. The full on the list is Enpass. This program features an adjustable password generator where you can select the encryption type and number of symbols used. Also, there is a special window to add passwords integrated with Google Chrome. It's convenient when you need to create many strong passwords for a dozen or two websites, social media or online services. Enpass keeps its data in two places. It's encrypted in the user's own cloud storage, like Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, etc. and locally on the user's computer or smartphone. This free of charge app is available for Windows, macOS and Android. Now, we are in for the top three password managers. Positional 3 goes to Last Us. It fills in logins and passwords automatically for any website you have added and it can help you share passwords with your family and friends. It's up to you to decide if you want to share a password permanently or just let a person enjoy temporary access to an online service. With Last Pass, you can set up a single super password and all data you stored locally. The free version of the app is available for Android, iOS, Mac and Windows. And you can unlock extra features for a pay. The second best choice is Keep Us. Although the app looks a bit out of date, it's open source and there is a portable version you can use with any computer as long as you have a flash drive in your pocket. Keep Us doesn't have any integrated synchronization features and it can keep its password database in your own cloud storage or write on the memory device of your choice. For example, the flash drive used for a portable version. To ensure maximum protection, it's recommended to store the portable app and its database in an online service. If you do it, the application can be used on any computer with no trouble. Keep Us is absolutely free of charge and available for all platforms. The term password manager in our rating today is Sticky Password. This position seems well-deserved with tons of positive feedback from users, easy and interactive interface and a rich variety of functions. The application has been created by developers of the well-known AVG antivirus and in addition to the typical functionality for similar products, it can also work with databases of other password managers and synchronize data by Wi-Fi. Being able to choose between sync options Wi-Fi, cloud storage or no sync makes the app even more attractive for end users. This program supports all kinds of devices and 16 types of browsers. Sticky password is available both as a commercial and for utility. The latter having a limited range of features. If you still feel distressed to password managers because they keep all your passwords in one place, don't worry. Most products of this kind offer reliable protection. Most users believe that the benefits of having strong passwords outweigh the disadvantage of throwing them all in one location. However, this is by no means an exhaustive list of all password managers you can use. So if you'd like to add some more apps or there is something you disagree with, your comments are most welcome.
