Things that I've learned in speaking is that you should never start a talk with an apology But I actually need to issue an apology early So I'm gonna start by telling you a joke and then come back to the apology So why did the junior software developer quit his job? Because after two years of work, he still didn't get a raise tough tough room All right, let's play this so These slides hopefully are gonna autoplay for you guys So I went on a two-year road trip in an RV and I worked remotely the entire time and I took a ton of pictures And so the apology is that if you're friends with me, Micah and family Or you follow me on Twitter and you've never seen any of these pictures. It's because I suck at social sharing So these are like some of the best pictures and highlights from our two-year trip We went all around the country went up the east coast actually started in Asheville That was kind of where we kicked off our trip I came here a couple years ago did a talk and then we left for two years Went out west spent a ton of time out in Utah, California, Arizona New Mexico Montana, Oregon, Washington, I mean everywhere out west. So it was really awesome took a lot of pictures I tried to arrange these chronologically based on my beard length, but I didn't do a very good job of that So as we get a little bit later in these slides It's gonna get a little bit scarier as as my lack of shaving if you want to see a cool story Ask me later about the elk antler story So Road trip aside the point of this talk is what did I actually learn as I was going out on the road living in an RV? I generally had very limited Wi-Fi connectivity But I was still working mostly full-time doing development a lot of WordPress and kind of what? What did I pick up from that experience? So I'm gonna try and share some of that with you here briefly So the first one I want to talk about is Camping hacks in general so these have nothing to do with WordPress directly But these are good things to know if you want to go camping and living in the middle of nowhere But you still want to be able to make software So first of all there's two apps one is called Camp and DM the other one is called sensor Lee Camp and DM is awesome because it tells you about free campsites all across the country where you can go live for free for Up to 14 days and nobody will bother you It also will tell you how many bars of 4g based on the network provider is available at that campsite I learned that all you need to successfully push code to get Remotely is two bars of Verizon 4g Okay, that is not enough to do a video conference on zoom or Even make a phone call Okay, so if your workload involves being on phone calls and stand-ups schedule Accordingly so that you can get to somewhere that has good internet another quick tip is that Campgrounds all Advertised that they have Wi-Fi that is a lie There is no such thing as Wi-Fi at a campground.  They don't work Okay, so that's just a little bit about like camping hacks in general So let's talk a little bit about some of the WordPress specific stuff since this is a word camp, right? So a couple of things on doing remote development work with WordPress that You need to know about if you have very little internet and in some cases very little electricity So I have a 12-volt battery system in my camper that I can run for about two days If you're going to calculate how long you can last on battery You need to know your electrical consumption in amps and you multiply that by the number of hours that you plan on running on your battery So I have a 200 amp hour system, which means I can run one amp for 200 hours If I'm running 200 amps, I can only run for one hour Okay, so I was actually looking at how much power is my computer using while I'm on the road and I figured out that Most modern HDMI TVs use AC power Which means I have to convert the DC power to AC which is a very inefficient conversion And then that TV is going to suck power even when it's not on Computer monitors on the other hand offer the ability to have a DC input So you find a computer monitor with a 12-volt input You cut the end of the cord off where the big heavy block is and you throw that away And then you strip the wires off put it on your 12-volt battery And now you don't have to convert the power to AC just to convert it back to DC to run the TV. Does that make sense? I also I also took my Mac charger cord the little brick that sticks in the wall And I cut that off too and strip the wires and put that straight on my 12-volt system I found out the hard way that Macs actually require a very clean source of power They require that power to be very Well, like if you look at the actual electrical wavelengths of the power that your Mac requires It needs to be very clean Unfortunately deep cycle marine batteries do not produce very clean power So I have a very expensive paperweight in my camper that just so happens to look like a Mac Air So know your power consumption bait plan on that figure out how long is it going to take you to run your batteries? I actually use a Raspberry Pi with my little computer monitor and I can do everything I need on right around one amp So that means that on just those battery charges alone on a single charge I can run for 200 hours, and I'm good to go that doesn't include charging my cell phone Other than that So I nor cross is here, but I don't think he's in the room So there's a really cool plugin called airplane mode It was developed by a guy named nor cross who is here at this word camp if you haven't talked to him go Go talk to him. He's a cool dude What it basically does is it disables all of the remote calls that wordpress makes and it and it Rerouts those to local resources So for example when you load up your dashboard and wordpress checks to find out if a new version of wordpress is available That's a remote call back to the wordpress API And so when that call is being made and you don't have internet That call is going to take 30 seconds before it times out and fails Which means that your page load just to load the dashboard add 30 seconds to it right not very productive in fact When you don't have internet loading the wordpress dashboard at all is not very productive Right anything that I have to do that I have to actually go into the back end and do is going to take a lot longer with no internet So learn WPC li is everybody in here at least use WPC li. Okay. Hey who in here is a master at WPC li Okay, this is your call to action go Master WPC li I don't mean just like figure out how to do a couple little things here and there like go become a freaking master at it And your productivity will go a thousand percent higher than what it is today Yeah WPC li is a command line interface for wordpress and it allows for you to do all sorts of goodness like Creating users changing passwords creating content updating settings installing activating and deactivating plugins or themes updating core Deleting caches Creating post types. There's so many things that you can do with it and in order to get good at it You really also need to be pretty proficient with bash not maybe an expert, but you need to at least look at it So one of the things that I found to be very helpful in my connectivity So again everything that I was doing I had it was very slow just took ages to make a simple connection So I learned how to do things via the CLI because an SSH connection requires the tiniest little bit of Connectivity versus an actual browser loading of the WordPress site So if someone would call me and say something like hey my password is it I need to reset my password rather than having to log Into WordPress and wait for that page to load. I could just run those commands over SSH, which is much more efficient There's a really cool thing you can do with SSH Which is basically you edit your bash RC file in your user profile on your remote server And you can set it up to run a list of commands every time you log in So for example, one of the one of the things that I had to do really frequently was I had to deploy our application from Development to stage or stage to production and every time I did it I had to log in and I had to copy all of those commands in and Wait for them to finish and sometimes a deployment could take me an hour because those commands were taking a long time to complete Mainly because of my internet connection. So what I did was I created two users I created a user called deploy stage and a user called deploy prod I put all the deployment scripts into my bash RC file And then all I had to do was on my computer one command log into that server And as soon as it logged in I knew that all those scripts were going to run And then I could just leave my computer alone And I could go play a little bit more and I didn't have to do anything because that was just going to run And it's all being done on the on a remote machine So my connection has nothing to do with the speed with which that application actually completes So that was nifty And then the other thing is reducing any sort of external dependencies So how many of you have ever seen a plug-in or theme that dequeues the WordPress provided jQuery and supplements it with some sort of JQuery that's on a CDN. I Freaking hate you Don't do that Okay, so like I actually have a plug-in that just looks at all the enqueued assets and then tells me if there's any that are Remote and then if they do it just dequeues that asset So I don't have to wait for any remote error remote calls to time out or 404 or whatever they're gonna do All right, so that's a little bit about WordPress stuff So the other thing I wanted to talk about was redundancy So these things have to do mostly with developing But I realized as I was putting these up that there's actually a lot of benefit to having these even if you're not gonna Go travel and live in a camper The first one is electricity you need to have more than one sources of electricity Now if you work in an office, you can pretty much assume that your power is gonna stay on But what if your power goes off? How are you gonna get your work done? Do you does your office have a battery backup of some type that you can work off of at least for a little while to get Things done if your power goes out if not you probably should When I was working I got hit by an electrical storm Lightning struck within a mile of our camper and I lost all of our power So I had I was working with an enterprise client. I won't name them But they're one of the really really big WordPress multi sites that runs and they I was on the call with them as a sales call and I had just lost all the power in my camper So I was literally sitting there on the phone with them in the gas station parking lot plugged into an extension cord that was On unauthorized plugged into the gas station's power taking notes on paper Right. I was like man if the people had have seen me on taking notes on paper They probably would not have given us that contract. So have have backups for electricity have backup devices I mentioned that I fried my laptop. That was actually the second laptop that I fried on the trip So it really stinks when you have no computer. So have backup devices, right? What happens if if your office gets broken into and they steal your computers? What are you going to do on the next day? Like do you have a backup plan for covering your devices? Similarly for internet providers, right? What happens if your cable connection goes out? Do you have a 4g backup that you can rely on these are things that even though you may not be traveling and going off-grid? It's still really important to have just in terms of being able to conduct this business reliably There was a hat do you who does anybody remember when all the DNS in the world went out and Twitter was off for like two days? Okay Having some way to communicate if you rely on something like Twitter to communicate and it goes down. What are you going to do? So just things like that with social media There was a really cool hack where I took the get hub IP address and put it into my Etsy host file so that I didn't need to do DNS lookups any time I talked to get hub So if my DNS went down I could still communicate with get hub even though I didn't have DNS So that was really helpful And then lastly is version control everything like if it's important to you put it on get hub It can be private now, but literally I put everything on get hub that I can't I have so many private repositories It's ridiculous because like even simple things like that deployment process that I mentioned Well, if that script gets lost and I've got a rewrite a deployment script that could be hours of lost productivity So keep everything version controlled by version control almost everything in my life now if it's text-based basically And so that's kind of it on the redundancy pieces a couple of just inspirational thoughts So let me think Yeah so I Mentioned this road trip obviously as you can see from these pictures. I went to more than a couple cool places There's a lot of amazing stuff in this country, and I feel like I still haven't seen it all In fact, I feel like the more I see the more I realize how much is out there that I haven't seen and that I want to go see These places are not gonna be here forever So if you have a desire to go see something go see it right now like don't even come back to word camp to not I'm just getting like Julian's like I'm gonna kill you so Yeah, like if you have a if you have a desire to travel go do it We live in a time when this is possible We have the technology to make this possible and I think in myself included like it's so easy to just get in the habit of Not doing anything That's cool and amazing because you have so much work to do like take your work with you take it on the road Go travel for a week say hey, I'm gonna take a week and I'm gonna go work remotely and if your employer doesn't like that then Find another one right or quit your job and be a freelancer and go travel and do what you want to do The other one is maybe go for like a month or even a year There's a whole bunch of different programs out there where developers from all around the country Will actually get paid to go work remotely for a month They rent a huge awesome house Usually in some really amazing place like Thailand and then all the developers just move into that house for a month And they all do their jobs remotely and then they get to hang out in Thailand for a whole month So like find cool stuff like that and do it because it's worth it It's worth just getting out of your comfort zone seeing some of this awesome stuff. That's out there and and I think the main thing I wanted to walk away with is So we lived in Atlanta for my entire life. So the first 32 years of my life I was in Atlanta when you live in one place for a long time you tend to collect a lot of stuff You know, you have all these tie-downs. I had a job. I had my kids were in a school We had a network of friends that we enjoyed hanging out with and in a short period of time We literally sold all of our stuff. We withdrew our kids from their school I quit my job. We moved out of our house and we literally Started with nothing everything that we own fit in the back of a pickup truck. So don't be afraid to start over Right, you can always take an iteration and say what is version 2 of my life going to look like and Be willing and be ready to to really start over and and and reinvent yourself So that's it for me. I'm out of time. Maybe we have time for one or two quick questions Or we can just sit here and look at my cute kids question What did I do for health insurance for two years? Scary I know Actually, we did have health insurance for a good portion of that trip Thankfully, I had an employer that I could work completely remotely for And so they I had health insurance there But there was a good like six months out of that two years where we were definitely fingers crossed And when we got back on to health insurance like everybody went and got everything fixed. It was like, yeah, I Broke a tooth while I was traveling And I wouldn't I wouldn't finally went to the dentist and got it dealt with so, you know, there was that Other quick questions. Yeah Did I use a screen for anything? The command screen no, I don't think so Yeah, so I forgot to mention this so one of the things that I did was I I used a lot of like cloud-based computing So I actually took had a VM that was running on on a cloud a cloud-based system and then I could just log into that VM and then Yeah, yeah, yeah, and actually that was really neat So one of the projects that I did I had to migrate a website that was over 10 years old and it had over I think it was a million posts and almost Three million images and I had to migrate it from point a to point b And so if I was going to try to pull that down to my Local forget it, right so instead I pulled I created a cloud-based instance just for transferring those files And I moved it across the internet without ever having to come back to my to my home and that really helped speed things up Yeah, by the way, I get repo that's over a hundred megs takes like never finishes when you haven't So they keep your repo small too. Thank you


Radio is typified by a radio station called WEI. Welcome everybody watching us live And WEI is Known for at times crass commentary that has not played well in The oh everybody's always listening and and things can kind of blow up and explode And it has certainly begun to poison some of the well with their corporate Partnerships with the Patriots and the Red Sox and stuff got you got you so now tomorrow. They will be suspending All programming from six in the morning to six at night to have an all-hands Sensitivity training so when you say suspending all programming is it gonna go off the air? I think it's probably just gonna be best of so I would guess I don't think that they're just gonna do like a test pattern or anything But like well, that's what I was wondering all live live Programming will be suspended. So Everybody can nobody can have an excuse of oh, I didn't see that at that because I was on the air Interesting. Oh, I've heard of WEI. I've heard the tales the tales told Uh, yeah, they were probably most recently in the news because one of the Hosts called Tom Brady's Kid an annoying little I don't even know if I want to say the word. It's not bad. It's just this is mean. Yeah Yeah, yeah, he was he said some not not nice things.  It's like oh, they do their own show But really they just call in for five minutes or whatever Tom Brady said he was re-evaluating whether or not he wanted to do it. So Sensitivity training even hits WEE I WEE I Just hard to say it is. Yeah, it sounds like some web standard, you know, it does. Yeah And said it's just where race that standard is approved by the WEE I will be able to implement that in devices Facebook's messenger kids Meeting all the WEE I stand is approved by the WEE I Yeah Oh Fred says that the EE I stands for electric Edison ink. Oh Interesting wonder if that's I mean Like incorporated I guess And slowly Before I mess up and embarrass myself we say it pay TM, right? Yeah Paytm pay TM pay TM Paytm Manning All right, you guys ready? Yeah Sarah would you do us the honors of opening the show? I will I'll do that. Thank you three who? Daily tech news show is powered by you to find out more head to daily tech news show dot-com slash support This is our daily attempt to help you make sense of the tech news for Thursday, February 15th 2018 From DTNS headquarters in Los Angeles on Tom Merritt and from an undisclosed Arabian be in Manhattan I'm Sarah Lane and from Oakland, California I'm Justin Robert young from an undisclosed location in the Los Angeles metropolitan area our producer Roger Chang is here I'm next to Burbank. Hello I tried to think of something really clever on the fly and I just didn't have anything So I made it sound like I was in some secretive location, but it's just it from New York City I mean someone else's home. That's for sure. You sure are. That's the modern world. We live in Let's start with a few tech things you should know Intel is opening up its bug bounty program to the public and promising up to $250,000 for new side channel vulnerabilities General vulnerabilities can now get up to $100,000 previously Intel's bug bounty program was invite only make it rain Intel Samsung's updated notebook nine laptops will go on sale February 18th They have Intel's eighth gen processors and up to 16 gigs of RAM along with a 75 watt hexa cell batteries The 13 inch notebook nine pen starts at $1,399 a version without the stylus starts at $1,199 and the 15 inch notebook nine starts at $1,299 the budget level notebook seven spin How jaunty starts at $899 and 99 cents Apparently they're very nice little laptops Scientists at Stanford University have developed a wake-up receiver that can power on a device from sleep in response to Ultrasonic signals, so the sensor is smaller than one that would need to use radio signals and Best part is it operates at extremely low power as little as a nanowatt system could be used in smart devices and sensors for internet of things Motherboard reports that FCC inspector general has opened an investigation into whether FCC chairman Adjit Pai acted inappropriately in relation to changing media consolidation Sinclair media was in the process of acquiring Tribune media at the time of the rule change The New York Times reports this investigation is looking at quote whether there had been coordination with the company All right. Let's talk a little more about iOS Crashing because you sent it a text message this story sounds familiar Justin indeed it does Tom The Verge has confirmed a report that Italy's mobile world blog that iOS is iOS 11 springboard interface crashes when it receives a particular Indian language Tagalog character That's how you say Tell goo. Tell goo. It's one of the Indian languages Messages will no longer be able to open afterwards The Verge discovers that the same problem happens in other apps like WhatsApp and Gmail and in messenger for Mac OS as well The bug does not exist in the upcoming iOS 11.3 Update in the meantime the only fix is to delete the message with the offending character Either by accessing the service or in some other way having your friends send you more texts Well, well, that's a great workaround Yeah, I mean, it's fixed They're just not going to push out the fix until 11.3 But boy is it annoying if this happens to you and it's it's actually worse than than the one that that Caused your what was the character that disappeared if you got that text message I into a question mark and then a weird emoji This one will lock up your app and and granted if it's Gmail You just go to the web login to Gmail delete the message you should be fine Getting it out of iOS messenger though seems like it would be a little more of a trick Yeah, I mean you did you delete the message or is the problem that like if it's connected to an iCloud accounts somehow No, if you to delete the message you have to open the messenger app But the messenger app can't open because it's got the character in it If you go to Mac OS You have to find another place to open up messages delete that and then try to read there is no other place So basically with iOS messages, you have to have people send you messages to get it down off the main screen So that it doesn't show up and doesn't crash the app and then somehow get in there and delete it everybody text me Don't you see there's always a DIY solution Just everyone text me get it off the screen more friends Moving on wire cutter and pocket link both have post up discussing Apple's home pod Leaving a white ring on oil or wax treated wooden furniture if it's sitting on top of it in as little as 20 minute 20 minutes all it takes coming on its own after a couple of days But depending on your surface that might not be good enough for you Apple says the marks can be caused by oils Diffusing between the silicone base and the tables surface Tom's guide notes that the Sonos one can leave a similar ring Funny I went, you know immediately. I'm like looked under my sonos once one of one is on a like a glass table So there's nothing to it. The other one is on a wooden Kind of bench and I don't see any rings, but yeah, I mean you don't want some big fancy expensive speaker Hurt in your furniture So the idea here is that because of the silicon used in it and the fact that it is vibrating to create the rich Resonant sound that is filling your house or apartment that that is what's leaving the ring, right? Like this isn't a decomposing or leaking Thing this is at least Apple's Explanation right Apple's saying the that if you have oil or waxed Treated wood that's only on that that's why it doesn't happen at the Apple store because they don't have that kind of wood table You have an oil or wax treated wood table that the silicone and the oil will start to kind of Diffuse and some of the silicone will come out some of the oil from the silicone and will mix And that will leave the white ring and then it should just kind of go away by Natural erosion I guess Over the course of a couple of days when you move it so apples apples mitigation here is don't put it on that table You're holding it wrong all over again. You're setting it on the wrong It's like if it were if I had some you know, I don't know like a family heirloomers, you know some table where it's like Oh my gosh, the speaker is running my table. Of course, you're gonna be upset about it But this is also like really easy to solve. Yeah, no, this is only because this is Apple is this a thing, right? Of course and granted, you know Apple's response is very apply to be like don't put it there But that's a pretty good day Like you buy things that are made of silicone and you put them on that anything made of silicone and put it on that table It's gonna mark it. So you wouldn't do that. You wouldn't normally think that made the silicone thing Right apples diffused oil is not faulty in some way. Yeah look For Apple HomePod coasters coming to an Apple store near you. Yeah, they're so elegant. We think you're really gonna love them Software engineer Gabriel Lewis noticed he was getting notifications about Facebook posts from friends as text messages To a number he had only ever given to Facebook in order to enable two-factor authentication Using text messaging two-factor. So when he replied stop to those messages It auto posted the response stop to his Facebook profile and that insult injury didn't stop the messages Other users have described similar behavior. Facebook told the Verge. It is looking into the issue And reminded people like hey, you don't have to use text messaging You can also use authenticator apps like Authe or Google authenticator, but it still isn't clear Facebook Meant this to happen or if it's a bug they haven't said I Saw when I saw the screenshots because he uh, you know This whole story had had gone viral all over the place because it was so funny You know, he's sort of like why is you know, Facebook's like text message me This is horrible.  Please stop Don't text me As post as like stand alone post on his profile like a madman. He doesn't realize they're being posted at that point That's hilarious. Yeah. Yeah, I don't think he did. I mean he did later on but I don't really understand What like what wires got crossed here to auto post Anything even if there was a conversation going on back and forth I'm assuming there is a feature on Facebook that allows you to post something in your profile by text message Yeah, and there's a database error that Took that number for two-factor authentication and replicated over into that feature set look There's only two ways this ends It's user error or it's a bug and either there's an element of this experiment that we are not aware that makes It more explainable that within Facebook's rules. It's posting or it's an error on Facebook's part They need to fix it. They need to apologize for it. It's an error on Facebook's part MIT researchers. Oh, what what great folks they've developed a neural network chip that can run three to seven times faster than current chips And reduce power consumption by at least 94% the chip uses voltage to handle certain values called weights that normally need to be retrieved from memory This makes the chip far more efficient and could be more practical to run neural networks on consumer devices like phones or even household Appliances without it having to ping a server, right Tom. Yeah, so that's the the real thing here that you need to understand is Hey, instead of Siri having to connect to the cloud or instead of Amazon saying well We can't really customize the words because you know, it's all has to happen in the cloud You can't keep things on the devices. You could have it all happening on the device It would be more secure. You would feel less weird about like all the stuff I'm saying is being transmitted somewhere to a server. It could stay on the device that would be better But I have hubris Justin Sarah really I think I can try to explain Why this works and I'm going to do this accepted Tom I'm going to do this just so people who understand neural networks have an opportunity to email us and tell me where I get it wrong but if I get it if I understand this right the way the neural network works is A bunch of nodes send data into a node and then the node takes a waiting amount and Adds it to each piece of data based on how important it is and then it sends That data with the weight added or multiplied up to the next series of nodes. Maybe 16 different nodes, right? And so each time it calculates that it has to go get the weight has to calculate it store it and then send it Then it moves on to the next one what these MAT guys did is said well first of all, let's just have two Waiting numbers one and negative one that'll simplify things turns out. It only makes it one to two percent less accurate So it's virtually the same then they said let's use the voltage To hold the weight number so that we can actually Just add all the voltage to figure out the weight And we can send all 16 of these at once instead of having to go one by one by one by one as it sends it from one node to the other Thus speeding up the performance It almost sounds like you're talking about like how torrentine was described to me at the beginning Well, it's actually how the brain works. They're trying to get this as close to how neurons work. Yeah Well, here's all I know if it gets us closer to a Device version of the greatest neural network on the internet the would you rather bot W yr underscore bot on Twitter if I could just have a button that every three hours gave me Hilarious would you rather's and this is getting us closer to that then Kings to you MIT researchers in bringing the future closer to us I have a feeling it would be able to be able to make that happen in your pocket I how about sew it into my clothes? Yeah, only have that delighting me at all times. I would be thrilled Excellent any word on on I don't know. I mean, what's the next step for the research team here? Yeah, they just got to make it practical make it make it make it work outside the lab. All right Just do that MIT researchers mailed it Indian payment service. Paytm has a physical retail store version of its Paytm mail shopping site in New Delhi Co-branded with red tape shoes Shoppers can pay in store with the Paytm mail app And if an item is out of stock at same-day delivery stores can also handle returns of items stored online Paytm mail expects to add the feature to 50 red tap shoe stores and open 400 such stores centered around consumer goods and fashion within the next year It's Paytm mall like a mall like a shopping mall Not mail. Oh, sorry. I called it mail twice That's okay. I just want to make sure that that people know that but It's really an interesting Indication that all of these online stores and they're actually stealing this playbook from Ali Baba Ali Baba has been doing this in China partnering up with retail locations are Are saying, you know, what's really the next big step in online shopping shopping in person? Well, I mean, but this was kind of always Destined to happen and and I don't know if if the real estate situation in India is similar to how it is here in America But as businesses and business models revolving are only around physical retail and higher Traffic and price real estate kind of crumble. It makes sense as these gigantic e-retailers say well Okay, how can we open up new ways to sell things to to customers that they find smart ways to do it and probably with a Smaller footprint and probably with without the same kind of expansion strategy, but this is where we're going You can't we're not just going to demolish these strip malls and malls and buildings like we're gonna find different ways to use them Um, I love this idea. Hey, I'm also one of these weird people who just I really want to physically Buy something and have that sort of impulse purchase rush of you know, walking on Yeah, just walking out of the store with it for sure But it's like Amazon's great because you get things shipped to you But it's also, you know, everything's there somewhere somewhere. Amazon, you know is selling something that I want some of that stuff I don't need to look at or touch or try on but some of that I do and You know, if there was yeah, I've got like a credit at Amazon It's been sitting there for years and I keep wanting to buy like a little kitchen islander, you know Something that Amazon has and it's like, yeah, I just can't tell if it's janky You know with a couple little photos. So this whole idea and I mean look at Apple stores It's like physical stores have their place. Yeah, for sure And I like I love this idea of them saying oh you want that in red We don't have that in stock or we don't have your size But we can get it to you by the end of the day because we are hooked up to this big patreon mall back in Hey folks, if you want to get all the tech headlines each day in about five minutes subscribe to daily tech headlines at dailytechheadlines.com You could also get it as an Amazon echo Flash briefing on the Google home on the anchor app and as a podcast like I said at dailytechheadlines.com So Twitter said that what a lot of people thought was maybe a special event not a vet but a specialized instance of Partnering with a local television broadcast is actually something they want to do on a regular basis The feature was tested during coverage of the school shooting in Florida here in the US on Wednesday What Twitter did was put up a live stream from the local television station alongside Your Twitter stream and if you clicked through to it you actually could get in some cases a page With relevant tweets that were going along with what you were seeing from the live coverage GM Kavan bake pour former CEO of Periscope by the way now GM at Twitter said we're continuing to work on new ways We can surface credible content and relevant information to help people stay informed by pairing live video with the conversation on Twitter There's no faster way to see what's happening in the world And I think that they are absolutely right here This is how I watched the vast majority of what unfolded yesterday was of tremendous interest to me as it is From where I am from I have family and friends that were involved some taught at at the school and That I wanted to keep a lot of keep in touch with I Didn't realize that this was because Channel 7 which is the Fox affiliate based out of Miami had made a deal I thought it was just WSVN Using Periscope as a platform to pump out their signal it makes sense that they did that where I Get a little twingey is the idea that they want to not just have this be The right information at the right time and getting a local source into your face as fast as possible but rather to have a landing page where you're curating tweets algorithmically because man as a Twitter user and as somebody who has covered a tragedy before professionally There is just so much misinformation that can very often lead to more harm than good in the midst of something that is Unfolding and it's something that even watching WSVN on Twitter yesterday They had to make sure That they kept on the right side of it when you're putting live mics in in in in frightened Traumatized parents and children's faces And you're also trying to walk the journalistic line of like okay We can't share the name of the prime suspect yet until it's officially mentioned by police But people in this parking lot in Walmart are are saying their name You know because they're traumatized and they don't know what the rules of journalism ethics are then that's one thing the idea that now you are going to algorithmically keep Every little piece of information from it misinformation that might come across that feed is a Tremendous tremendous problem to solve not to say that they can't I don't think this is quite hashtag hell portal hashtag portal to hell But I do think that this is a Problem that is very difficult and I would have real questions on whether or not that's worth solving compared to Let's just get people who understand these situations in the face of people as fast as possible Yeah, there's something about you know, it's interesting that Kavon Baker had the quote to Buzzfeed because as you mentioned Tom He's his periscope guy and I was thinking about periscope the other day like is anybody periscoping anymore? And I know that they are but there's so there was so much You know the implication when that and and similar tools like me or cat rolled out was like Oh, you know everything's just gonna be live You know now it's just a matter of like organizing all this information we have and I don't think Twitter really Totally understands what to do with that yet That what you're describing Justin I think seems to me is Twitter saying okay, you know, we've got these tools like how do we actually just like bundle them into the Twitter experience better but by organizing it it's so kind of Intentionally I think that it's going to be so much easier for someone to be like How can you you know be spreading this bad information the way that you're doing and so purposely well? Yeah, I mean the idea is I think what Twitter's trying to say is we're gonna have a live video stream of what's actually happening from a Responsible journalistic agency so that if somebody's saying something in the Twitter stream It will be easy to see that they're making it up or they're wrong There's a there's a lot of things going on here, you know one is people have decided That Twitter is easily gamed. It certainly is gameable. I don't know how easy it is to game But that's one concern another concern is the word algorithm used to mean like this is a pretty Agnostic way of choosing things and it's better at choosing things because it doesn't have bias That's not what people mean when they say algorithm anymore algorithm is suddenly taken on this meaning of a biased faulty thing That can be manipulated by nefarious sources, right?  That's not necessarily true But that is also a concern for people now So I I if Twitter a Twitter exists and and you can have a problem with that But you don't have more of a problem with it today than you did yesterday Television news exists. You don't have a problem with that anymore than you did yesterday Putting them together isn't necessarily gonna make the problem worse. I don't think No, it just is very high risk and and there are few places in our modern world Where you are at more of you're at you are more exposed To have harmful information go out at the exact wrong time. You're saying it's the multiplier effect, right? Let's talk about Boston Marathon Boston Marathon Incorrect people were identified on reddit and that became a problem They were not identified in most cases on TV But that was a separate Situation and in one case CNN did show some misinformation that it had to retract later You're saying if you bring those two together on one page That makes the problem is not specifically a Twitter problem. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, this is a problem with covering Unfolding tragedies when when witnesses are simultaneously at their most accurate and at their least accurate That they've seen the thing that you need to talk to them about and they are traumatized and might not remember everything Exactly how it happened until you talk to enough people and law enforcement corroborates it I have long said on this show that I believe that part of Twitter's destiny is in video and is in the idea that all these Things trending topics are so often video products It is mind-blowing to me that we don't have a simple way that I can pay Twitter to just click through and watch these Things with the people that I am already talking About them with on this platform and I think that this is a way of getting to that granted in an emergency situation So this isn't like a the business model per se, but also man, I Just know how white knuckle it is for any journalist for law enforcement to get these things right in the moment To have the second level filter on that get it right and be broadcasted on the stage that Twitter is It just seems like something that will go it's not if it's when and it won't be because they invented it It will be because they broadcasted it All right, well, thanks to everybody who participates in our subreddit and does a great job You can submit stories of mode out of a daily tech news show not reddit.com and of course our Facebook group Facebook.com slash group slash daily tech news show examples of people doing it right. I like to think Also, we get a lot of emails Sarah. We do and we got a couple from Ross Who's writing from Nottingham in the UK first one was in reference to Scott our show yesterday Scott was saying I love, you know The the password authenticators, but then I'm worried if I lose my phone that I'm screwed out of all of my accounts Ross says Scott shouldn't be worried about losing his phone because he can set up last-pass authenticator This backs up the TFA token store to your last-pass account So if you lose your phone you just restore your backup also a lot of TF phase that I've Set up recently set up or give as can be used in the same purpose Just keep these on paper at home or in an offline key pass file Yeah, okay, so off he does this too a lot of people don't want them to have your token Maybe you trust off the your last pass just fine. I mean a lot if you're using last-pass you trust him with all your passwords But having that TFA token stored somewhere else reduces its security. So a lot of people aren't comfortable with that However, yeah keeping them offline in a key pass file or on paper that that is a great That is a great mitigation factor to this and that that definitely is something that I think everybody can feel safe about Ross also said regarding Chrome's new ad blocking It's not the irritation of ads that drives him to use an ad blocker anymore He says well, this used to be the case I now use one to stop me being tracked. I don't want Google or any other advertising company to know anything about me I don't want to personalize that experience. You can target me based on location. That's it as soon as ads stop tracking me I'll turn off my ad blocker until then it stays If that is in case in fact the case you should use privacy badger privacy badger is not an ad blocker It will have the effect of blocking ads sometimes because it blocks tracking It's specifically only blocks tracking across websites So if it notices that a an entity is tracking you on multiple sites It blocks it and allows you to give permission to be tracked if you so desire And in the end sometimes that will block ads But it won't block ads if they're not doing that or if you give permission to them So that's that's what I'd say to Ross is like great You should you should switch to privacy badger because it does only what you want it to do. Yeah The ad blocker the old ad blocker That certain News publications will just be like you have an ad blocker on you can't read this, you know turn it off or Beat it We've noticed you're using an ad blocker and I'm like Shut the window and then I just continue on so it's like there are different ways to be passive aggressive on the publisher side of this That's why Speaking of not being passive aggressive the first person that comes to mind is Justin Robert young because you say what you mean and you mean what you say Yeah, I'm just aggressive Well, I'll tell you what folks I'm gonna aggressively push my live show on March 1st if you are in The San Francisco Bay Area then come on out Thursday March 1st 7 p.m. At the piano fight theater the lovely illustrious piano fight theater We are doing the American sex scandals bracket some of the most crazy over-the-top Ridiculous sex scandals of all time We're going to put into a bracket and we will all decide who will be number one a real talk DTNS listeners because I feel I can be honest with you The initial ticket sales on this have been really good And we have a couple weeks until the show so much so that the venue Wants to move us into a bigger room and I'm hesitant to do it unless we kind of hit a certain benchmark We're very close, but if you are interested in going and you were thinking Maybe it'll be a game time decision a little bit closer to March 1st We're not even halfway through February Justin get off my tail Do me a favor try to figure it out if you can buy a ticket Please do Because it would help me a lot in figuring out whether or not we're going to move this to a bigger place If you want a quicker way to find it just go to bit.ly Slash Sf sex show.

What is the perfect title for this episode? The perfect title for this episode and the perfect title for this episode in the meantime. Hey Justin Yo, what does it mean that this is just an article in TechCrunch? I'm reading right now. What does it mean that twitch has launched always-on chat rooms for channels? You can chat when it's not broadcasting Okay, I didn't realize that chat was off It isn't I think it might be Okay, no, no, no, this is this is what I think well we wait for him to answer that question right periscope in the live events Yeah periscope into really periscope like periscope up Twitter live news of the mists of the misinformation age No waiting at MIT Pie face drama It's a horrible headline Sarah starting now twitch channel owners have the option to create rooms for a specific group of users Like their channel subscribers moderators follows are others with shared interests like spoilers. It's just it's like as chatting is black or yeah Effectively they are creating web versions of what has kind of been a culture that's been created on discord and slack But there already are kind of these a threaded specific sort of rooms. This is a web Way of making I see I would also not be shocked If they and this is a guess I do not know anything about this I would not be shocked if they then wanted to fold that into Their twitch app which has taken a lot of the functionality of discord from the curse acquisition that they made always on should not be in that headline Yeah, that's Apple has character issues, but don't we all It's pretty good Apple's character issues You're tabling it wrong or perhaps character flaw that might Because flaw because the iOS flaw Pay now or pay to him later Yeah, you just pay to you pay to you have is Just did a variation Fred's title and the apple has character flaws, but don't we all yeah Yeah, I like that perfect See what what kind of magic we can create when we put our heads together But still like you know Speaking of speaking of heads. I realize I didn't put my headphones on but nobody complained about Echo either no no there wasn't an echo problem.   I guess I kind of could But they have actually no because it's that there's like family photography in here, but Really left their photos in there. That's kind of weird. Well, you know what it is. So There were two of us were on one flight and then two Others were on a separate one and they beat us here So I actually didn't meet the host my friends did because they actually got in earlier than we did And I guess he told them. Yeah, you know, this is my family's home and you know Good it's like a four-better like it's big. It's well, I mean for New York it's quite large and You know, it's just too much house for us And so, you know, it's just like this is how we kind of like pay the bills and you know get some money But I think at one point it was the family home. So, yeah, there's like wedding photos and It's baby photos. Like I don't know who any of those people are but I don't think that it's like stock photography. I think it's actually the family Well, that's what I was wondering though. Is it is it the family or is it stuff they bought at? the No, I've been to those places in Greenwich Village where they're selling people's family photos You could absolutely buy and put up and I mean, I'm sure I'm sure that's possible. But no, it doesn't seem like that. It seems like Them or somebody you didn't meet them How do you know? No, but I don't know Tom. I don't know I have my theories, but I don't know that's right. Yeah, you know If it is people I I'm not going to give you guys a tour but they do my point was And I do have one is that Well, okay, you know what here? I'll show you No, I'll see. Well I don't want to So up here, you can't really see it because I turn that man with way down From like you see the same people in multiple photos and stuff because that would be to tell that it's like There's a Dominican Republic map over here And you see a lot of that going like yeah, you see the flags and some of the family photos. It's like, you know, I They would it would be really Extra mild that interior designer could pull it off. I suppose but is that brick an actual brick thing or is that a facade? It is It's like actual That's real Okay There was a period in time when brick facade was as popular as wood veneer Oh, really? Yeah, I don't know why Oh, yeah, my my childhood home had both We had paneling up on the walls and uh, we had a fireplace that was cement, but they had put brick facade On it to make it look like it was brick Yeah, it's just it's a it's a very eclectic mix of things But this is why I love airbnb so much because you never really know what you're gonna get Remember there was a period of time we're having like a sunken like floor In the or like living room or something was kind of cool And you would have a you would have a room and you would have to like take a step down into this like growing up We had we had a sunken living room And well the house I spent most of my childhood growing up in I envied the people with a sunken living room Why it's funny how like it felt modern back doesn't get built anymore That felt like a new fancy thing that rich people had Ooh sunken living room and it's also like I mean it was a style, you know, it's a style and kind of you know, you know a certain period of time, but it's like Why? You know, why was that ever a thing and like why was it cool?  It's just kind of I think it gave you the impression of having more space Right.  So it was just like there was this whole like it was like It's like some like crazy sesame street monster, you know Uh, like all over the floor and then also the sunken living room and the cats but you know, they They're When we were moving right before I went to high school My mom was looking she wanted to buy the place that she's still in now and uh, we looked at a house in cooper city that had The conversation pit You ever seen like these like disappeared in the 70s But just like there's the living room and then off the corner of it. There's a Further sunken down area. That's just kind of couches Like it's just a ring Of of couch and the idea was you would just kind of retire to the conversation pit in the 70s With your hookah pipes and yeah and just hang out and i'm over whatever reason i've always Like wished that there's another Wanted to be in the alternate reality where we grew up with a conversation pit That's a great podcast name the conversation the conversation There's got to be another name for it Yeah, I mean is that is is that what you're calling it or is that a real estate? This is a real thing. Okay. All right. I just I've never heard of it before It just sounds like we're all the debased You know, just what happened when uh, when uh, when a conversation turns into an argument gets ugly Falls into a pit falls into that conversation pit.  Oh, was it one of those metal ones? Yeah Yeah, oh, you know what used to have those was uh burger not no a and w these Yes, it was exactly like that and I you know, it was always like Well, you know the fire was on a lot because if you're up there in the winter, it's cold But it was always like kind of in the way of everything, you know Like depending on where somebody is you have to like yell at them around the fire and it always even as a kid I was like, it's just there. I don't know why they did this So, uh, that's the kind of thing that looks good in a magazine, right? In life magazine that looked awesome. Yeah Nick with the sea sent a jpeg to the chat room. Yes So imagine imagine that right but not as the center of the living room off to the smaller version off to the side Interesting. It just feels like you're in a boat of land So why can't you have a conversation in like? Like three feet up. What are you a philistine? One doesn't just have a conversation anywhere You must retire to the conversation pit. We are civilized people after all It's very um in a way. It's very uh, uh, like sock, you know, like socrates or play though I could just imagine of we'll continue our discourse A few feet lower No, that's the discourse ditch That's outside totally different thing Oh, man, we uh, my parents carpeted our kitchen Oh Really that's like a mistake. Yeah, I never could figure that one out Never figured that because we had tile through until I was like, I don't know eight or nine years old and they put carpet down in the kitchen I remember we lived in a house with carpet in the bathroom Yeah, it's the last time that was gross One of my jobs after we ate was to take the little roller thing out and roll it over the carpet to pick up all the crumbs I don't even know what that thing is called. It wasn't a vacuum cleaner because it didn't have any power. It just it it's A chore it was called the chore The device was called a chore How does that go? Do you know what I'm talking about? Yeah, it's called the Yeah, they're called the carpet uh carpet rollers carpet roller. Yeah, that makes sense I used to see him a lot in the amway catalog that one of my cut my mom's customers used to bring around the restaurant every month Amway's got some new stuff. She's checking out Well, that one's not too bad, um, greg geeky tex geeky tex sent one this one's a little class here I think Oh, oh, this is both conversation pit and central fireplace central fireplace two and one Looks like a hotel lobby though to the side. It really does. Is it is it a hotel lobby? I actually have me wondering now because there's tile around it How i'm gonna have to be like i'm gonna be up on uh, uh, real estate sites trying to find that house Uh, well while you do that any last words to our, uh Our youtube viewers I would like to say to them Be yourselves be kind. I'll tell you what the more I look at these conversation pits. I think that they might have very specific purposes Yeah That might be why uh, why my mom decided to not get that house My my impression from the moment you described it was that conversation was not in fact the main purpose of these pits. Yes Just knowing the time that they were popular The, uh, the hardest hooks at the ceiling probably were the big Roger you're the producer you're supposed to be the responsible one here. I know I didn't even mention the glass table


You cannot starve a person who is feeding on God's promises. God made a promise to David, Psalms 89 verse 3 through 4. Here, find it recorded in 2 Samuel chapter 7 verse 12 through 16. God promised David an everlasting family line thrown in kingdom. On at least two occasions, the royal family was reduced to only a single member. Did that means God promise was in danger? Not at all. It only highlighted the importance of daily faith in the promised maker. To spark your faith in the God who keeps his word, find a sheet of paper and label one side promises God made to people in a Bible but never kept. The other promises God made and kept to people in a Bible. Then do your own survey of Noah, Abraham, Jonah and others. You'll find only one side of the paper filling up. What did these people discover about the promises of God? And does that cast a shadow or shed light on God's promises to you?


Want to learn about stocks, cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and the metaverse? Join RichTV.io. How's everybody doing today? I'm your host Rich. Here we have a RichTV live with our very special guest, the executive director, Nick Standish, of Marina Bay Capital Corp. How you doing today, Nick? I'm doing great, Rich. Thanks for having me. Oh, it's pleasure. Excited to have you on the show. And Nick, why don't we start off with you telling us a little bit about yourself and how you got involved with Marina Bay Capital Corp. Yeah, you bet. So I'm an entrepreneur, investor, executive. I've worked in a range of different fields. I was fortunate enough to be mentored by a pretty well-known venture capitalist based out of Vancouver. He's passed away now, but I learned a lot from him. Got a great range of contacts and strategies of how to attack the capital markets from working under his tutelage. And he was actually partners with this group of gentlemen over in Singapore. And he passed away in September of 2021. I knew that they were considering starting up a new business, doing exactly what Marina Bay Capital is prior to David passing away. And after he passed away, I reached out and introduced myself and proposed that I step in and do it with them. That was in December of 2021. And by February 2nd, we'd started the business. And here we are today. We generated $2 million in revenue in the first 10 months of business. We're in cash flow positive. We're profitable. So I mean, there's a lot to be said for that, especially given the year that we've had in the capital markets. I mean, just the world as a whole. I agree. Congratulations on your success thus far. Now, the company is a brand new IPO. Can you tell us what is the biggest reason why investors should be looking to invest into Marina Bay Capital Corp? Yeah, you bet. I mean, I'll probably give you a few reasons. For one, it's extremely tightly held. It's 100% insider ownership. We're a high growth company. We're based in the highest growing region, fastest growing region in the world. And we intend to pay a 50% dividend of net profit out of your tax by the end of financial year 2023. So you've got yourself a growth story with sustainable revenues that will pay a dividend. We've run the business through several different valuation models based on the current state of the business today. We've taken the average of all of those different models and come up with a number of $40 million in US. And then for our raise, we've priced it at a discount to that number. And we're currently raising capital to $25 million pre-money valuation, which we think is very attractive pricing for investors. And the reason we've done it that way is we just want to illustrate that there's significant upside here to anybody that comes in at this level. That sounds fantastic. Now, with the current market conditions, investors are looking for fundamental growth and wanting to look for solid revenue growth. What is Marina Bay's roadmap for 2023? And how do you believe it will give confidence to investors? Yeah, so we've signed up five full service clients now. So that gives us a significant upfront cash fee of about an average income of $400,000 per client. And then we're going to work with these clients for the next 12 to 18 months on raising capital, structuring them properly, and getting them positioned for their go public transactions. So we generate revenues from the advisory piece of that. But we also get the chance to participate in the upside of their listing and when they get their liquidity event. So I mean, with that, we have a really well-rounded business with what I call using a baseball analogy, singles, doubles, triples, and home run strategy. And I think that that's something that can really resonate with investors. So we have several lines of business that generates that consistent cash flow that we're going to be able to show on our balance sheet every quarter. But then we also take a percentage on listing with our full service clients, we call them, which gives us a chance to participate in their upside further down the road. And that's when our financials get really interesting. If you look at our forecasts going into 23 and 24, the numbers start to get quite high. And that's as our clients will start to have liquidity events or list on an exchange. That's like music to my ears. Here at Rich TV Live, we love to identify undervalued, underappreciated, underexposed companies. So we love to find growth stories. Now, Nick, what would you say are the top three milestones that Marina Bay Capital Corp wants to hit for 2023? Yeah, so I mean, big one, we want to pay our first dividend to shareholders. We're shareholders, so we're aligned with anybody that comes in. We pay ourselves very little. I'm the highest paid guy in the company, and I'm paid $5,000 Canadian per month. The reason we've done that is because of our dividend policy. As we invite shareholders in, we want to be aligned with them. So that's a big milestone for us. We're looking forward to that. So paying our first dividend, we've got a goal of training at least six additional local representatives in Vietnam, Indonesia, India, Malaysia, and the Philippines. We see huge opportunities in those regions. They're massively underserved and just ripe for Marina Bay Capital to come in and really capture a lot of that growth. And then the third would be our listing. I mean, we have a goal of going publicly 2023, and the very aggressive goals thereafter to uplist to the NASDAQ once minimum listing requirements are met. And I mean, if you take a look at our forecast and you look at our capital structure, they meet those NASDAQ listing requirements sooner than 2024 if we continue to hit these milestones and hit our goals. So now's a great time to invest with us. Now's a great time to get on the cap table. It's our first round that we've opened it up to anybody outside of our insider group. So yeah. That's great. Now, can you also tell us what are your top three products that Marina Bay Capital Corp offers its customers that would peak investors' interests? Yeah. So one of our favorite products is Fairness Opinions. We've just brought in the expertise to offer those. And it's a highly profitable product. And they're in huge demand, especially with all of the consolidation and everything that's happening across the world now. So that's a product that we are really pushing. That's kind of our singles and doubles strategy that I mentioned earlier. Another one that we're really focusing on is taking advantage of the JOBS Act and the new rules and the states. So running online fundraising campaigns for our clients under the regulation ACF, D, or S regimes. And then our full service product, which is public listing advisory and arrangement services. I mean, that's our big one. We take an upfront retainer. And then we take a percentage of shares upon listing of the target. And we're very diligent about who we pick for that product. We look at it as an investment, a long-term investment. And we have a committee that approves before we sign those guys on. Now, Nick, is there anything else you would want investors to know about Marina Bay Capital Corp today? Yeah. I mean, I've already said this, but this is the fastest growing part of the world. It's going to be that way for the next 20 years. You just have to spend 15 minutes on the internet to verify that what I'm saying is true. The other piece of that, though, is this is a really difficult part of the world to navigate. And that's for a range of reasons, whether it be cultural, language, nuances with the local laws. But what we have is extensive experience in all of these different countries. We've got boots on the ground. And we understand how to navigate these things. So this is a way for investors to get exposure to the fastest growing part of the world without having to go through the brain damage of finding their own deal in Vietnam or Indonesia that's going to be the next unicorn. I think it's a great idea.  What is the best way for investors to get in touch with the company if they have any questions about Marina Bay Capital Corp? Yeah, so my email is nick at marinabaycapital.co. You could also reach us through the website. You can reach me on my LinkedIn. And yeah, if you're interested to invest, try any one of those three. And I'm happy to jump on the phone and speak with any interested investor. Very excited today to be speaking with the executive director of Marina Bay Capital Corp, Nick Standish. I must remind everyone that Rich TV Live is strictly for information and education purposes.  In saying that, we love IPOs, initial public offerings. We love to get in early, in early stage growth companies. And this is another one we think everyone should put their attention to. So everyone put Marina Bay Capital Corp on your watch list, put it on your radar. And Nick, thank you for joining us today. Great, thank you very much, Rich. I'd love to get the opportunity to come back and speak with you sometime soon when we've got some more exciting news. That sounds great, Nick. We'll be watching very, very closely. Thank you for watching today, everybody. If you're not winning, you're probably not watching. We bring you the winners. We bring you the news, CO interviews, and we bring them to you first. Have a great day, everyone. Thanks, Nick. And we'll talk to you guys soon. Thanks, Nick.

Thoughts on NFL free agency. I don't know. I saw the Eagles got Hassan Reddick and I and Twitter told me that's a dub Normally Twitter is the first to hate like Twitter is the first to hate. Do we just drop frames? Do we drop frames? Yeah, normally Twitter would be first to hate. They'd be the first to hate ones, you know But they told me Hassan Reddick is cracked I mean it's good to have some sometimes you need somebody to just write a good it running around the line, right? Just couldn't slide with that guy behind me.  Is that Davenport? Yeah Ah Well, I think I could throw that in there. I got a I don't know why I thought I could get that over a flat zone, man On bro like what the like Jimmy Graham, bro. You're like so caught.  There's no way that went down, bro Man, y'all can help me by blocking a little bit, huh? You can't use her moss because you can't use acrobat, bro That's a bad. It's a bad user. I don't know how you didn't use time out there like that was terrible That was just terrible, dude. I wanted the sixes to get the three seed or the four seed probably don't do I don't want to play. I don't want to play Kevin Durant, dude Him not using timeouts before half was actually miserably bad, dude. I don't like Jimmy that much, bro I like every morning Jimmy Graham. They do different things better if that makes sense, bro But that touchdown to give up a touchdown.  I swear.  That's what's happening to me.  I'll be more aggressive What am I user, bro?   I'm getting something like bro I can't play better defense in this another third down. Come on, man. Who is this in the middle? Charles Woodson, bro He's about to be cut dude Mine. Thank you. I got to do it myself It's cold man and maybe Charles Woodson at the end is not the move, bro At the tackle is not the move, huh boys? Let's go man. Let's go man. I'm also gonna put my flats on five, bro Let's put my my purples on five and just see how they play here Like come on, bro.  Come on, dude Thank you. Oh my god. Thank you, man. I need y'all to fight a little bit for me I feel like he does a random like curl out here right now, dude I mean come on, dude Like you're just trusting Vic to make a roll out right handed pass, bro Imagine if you kids actually could pass, dude, you guys would be good, dude Just roll out every play this sick, dude This is nasty, bro.  That's why you put night train out there, bro I'm interested to see what type of stats Randy Moss has for tackling Because he could play the slot You cannot run it like it's impossible to run up the middle of the field, bro Come on Cooper cup, bro. No way we get that up again Maybe because I have possession caught it, but I feel like that's a clear easy possession catch right there. I don't know Let's go edge my ball No way edge Now keep getting hit little boy. Keep getting hit. I don't have Jamal Adams right now, bro. Where's camp chancellor? Thank you Mine Come on, man.


So, thank you so much and thank you again, Thierry, for allowing us to have this fruitful debate. My name is Aurélien Biyot and I'm the head of trade policy at the French General Secretariat for European Affairs. My job is basically to bring ministries in the same room and to make them talk together and have possibly innovative ideas on trade policy. Data is, of course, one of these issues, a rising issue to that aim. And as we are in the world policy conference talking about global governance, I think it's very useful to have this other side of the mirror. So if you allow me to take a step back, we've had presentation on four very promising startups from different parts of the world on different domains. In Europe, you have about 6 million entrepreneurs in that field. For about a value of about 60 billion a year, it's going to be 110 billion by 2020. So it's a very thriving industry. And at the same time, we see some difficulties. Some are difficulties of old, like the question of regulation, of democratic ownership, and other are new questions such as the speed at which these technologies evolve and at which you need to react in these fields. The fact that on big data platforms bring monopolistic issues, and finally the issue that was mentioned earlier in the conference, that if it's free, you're the product, which means that you have to deal with different environments. I take also from previous intervention that we have a mix of a thriving economy. At the same time, we have lots of emotional and political issues to solve. So what are the main challenges for the EU to act in a policy perspective? I see three main challenges. The first one, which Patrick alluded to, is data governance, or let's say data privacy versus data sharing. The benefits of sharing are huge. Everyone has used Google Maps to know where the traffic jams are. At the same time, you might not want to be geolocalized at any time, and therefore a balance needs to be struck here, and as no one is reading the terms of use or the authorizations of the apps, it's a first, maybe one of you has, but so it's a first policy question. A second is the alternative between access and security. One of the huge challenges for data is to share it, but at the same time, you have security concerns that justify limits on that, and fragmentation issues that have the same impact. The third main challenge I see is that of fair competition. One way of saying it is that these big data technologies challenge almost every business we can think of that challenge traditional industries when Uber, a data company goes in the field of taxi drivers, that challenge tax models when Apple only pays 50 million in taxes for 16 billion in benefits in Ireland, that challenge cultural diversity because online media is not subject to the same rules as traditional media, and finally, as a European, they challenge our economy because the US now and possibly China tomorrow have quite a competitive edge to that regard. So what can the EU do on these three aspects? And I think it brings us back to Natalie's remark of trying to build an ecosystem that allows this innovation to strive while addressing these three issues. So on data, for example, we both have an issue with personal data, which is data which is linked to someone and non-personal data. I think the issue on personal data, we have an EU regulation, and the fact will be how to implement the new EU-US data information, personal data information exchange. You might know that the previous one, the safe harbor was disqualified by the Court of Justice of the EU, and the new one, which is enforced still since last July, is a bit smarter because it allows for better enforcement, and it will be extremely important because, of course, this personal data goes to the US. On non-personal data, what EU policy can bring is to define precisely what barriers make sense and what barriers do not. For example, when you want to protect critical infrastructure, when you want to protect security issues, when you want to have platforms, online platforms that can resist attacks, these are legitimate barriers to data transfer. On the other side, it means that there should be a free flow of data on issues that are not sensitive to that purpose. On access, access versus security, there is also this big work to be done on standardizing platforms and agreeing on common European standards, which will also be done in link with cyber security issues, and addressing the issue on enforcement, and these links with what Edouard said on accountability, because having access to this data is what will allow us to implement this accountability. And finally, on the level playing field, which might be the most complicated issue, I want to go back to some points, for example, that Natalie made on developing skills or investment, but I would like to stress, of course, the French proposal to find a way to tax profits where they are made, and I will only stress that the complexity of the issue, because of the difficulty to localize profits, and hence the idea of also taxing sales. So as a conclusion, in this thriving environment, we need someone, we need an entity with a democratic ownership that can address these issues of data, data privacy of access versus security and of level playing field. And I think that the EU has a chance here and could help fill this gap for all of us. Thank you very much. Thank you.
