The following is a presentation of TFNN. Power Trading Hour with your host David White. Call now toll free at 1-877-927-6648 internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Now, David White. And welcome all to another exciting edition of the Power Trading Hour with me, your humble, lovable and squeeze-ly soft host who loves to come to you at this time. The following takes place between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. Well, as we've said, the options have said somewhere around 2850 to 2870 on the S&P cash when they don't run away from them on one day and then come right back and ram them in as this kind of trading range. We're up 22 and a half points on the S&P cash up 162 on the Dow, the Nasdaq's up 96. Volume is light though and that tells us that probably not going to be a lot of push into this market today. As we start the show, we're only doing about 3.8 billion shares. And again, that's fairly light. Now, the only thing to counteract this medium or even a little bit more than a five minute chart is going to be seeing the whole market pull back on light volume next week and have that kind of light volume that says there aren't a lot of sellers left. Anybody that kind of thinking about selling does it next week, but there's not a lot of push down and that can burn off a great deal of overbought and oversold conditions. I continue to think that as we go into next week, of course the 23rd we've got the elections in the UK for their forward business with the Euro and the Eurozone and Brexit. And then of course we get into about 28th or 29th of the month we get back into fund buying. In the meantime, there were a lot of IPOs that look like maybe they would price out this week. I didn't see anything on Slack or a couple of the other big ones. Looks like maybe a billion, billion and a half from what I looked at this morning, which is still not good for a market that's kind of weak. But we may have seen the bottom of the selling for those IPOs this morning. I was looking at possibly picking up some options for Friday's expiration, but just as I was getting ready to start buying something, man, the market moved very quick on a tweet and that was all it took. Just one tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet. Anyway, the tweet about changing the time scale for car tariffs came out and we had our big bounce and didn't get in. And of course I was looking for a technical level, which I thought was going to come in about 10 or 15 minutes, but they got there just in the nick of time before I did. Don't see a lot setting up. There are some very interesting setups and stocks. I just sent something out to the path of least resistant subscribers with a ton of charts and on some of the stuff that is set up and making some fairly decent low volume tests of previous lows. We may have a chance to look at a few of those today on air. Other things going on, it's just options expiration. Again, I think they pushed it down real hard and they pushed it up real hard and it just looks like this 2850, 2870 continues to be where it continues to want to be pushed into. So we get into next week not a lot of reasons to push long or short. And again, probably if it's not going up, we're probably going to see some light selling. That sets up, especially in the next week from this Friday, a very nice opportunity to come back from a three day weekend into some fun buying. And that may start a lot of stocks that are moving in the, and across the summer may be the stocks that have been ignored before. And a change in and with more tariffs might push a lot of things around that probably weren't being pushed around when people didn't think that there was a chance that these tariffs would go very far. As I continue to think, we're not going to get anything done anytime real quick with the tariffs. And it will take some time to get them done. When they're done, it'll be well worth it. And in the meantime, there's probably some great opportunities in the market for doing things here in the United States. And again, a lot of these companies saw it coming. William Sonoma said that they moved a lot of things here from China. Just figuring this is the way it was going to go. Other companies were smart enough to Apple, although they yell and scream about it a lot, started moving production from their iPhones over to India, thinking that this would happen. So I think a lot of people, although some did not, I think a great deal of people kind of saw this coming. And if you can produce as cheap in India as you can in China, I don't want to go to India. We don't have a problem with them.  So I kind of think that long-term it's actually much better, even medium term probably, much better for the United States. And that is where I live. Anyway, give me a call today at<PHONE_NUMBER>. You can always email me at path at tfnn.com. And of course, you always put something in the den, although it's kind of a quiet day out here, now that all the fireworks and sparklers have gone off. Okay, what do we got? We got a little history and then we'll get into some charts. And it's all just a little bit of history repeating. On this day in 1988, more than eight years after they intervened in Afghanistan to support the pro-communist government, Soviet troops began the withdrawal. The event marked the beginning of the end to a long and bloody and fruitless Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. And if it weren't for the work of one congressman from Texas, Charlie Wilson, they may have made it. He started a guerrilla war in Afghanistan and provided stinger missiles to shoot down the hind helicopters that were holding down most of the revolutionaries in the country. Anyway, he and a handful of other folks almost single-handedly brought the Soviet Union down to its knees in Afghanistan and certainly the amount of money that they were pouring in there all pretty much broke them. Some people think that this is history repeating all over again in Venezuela, where we haven't really jumped forward to start anything. But if they get in there, we're going to do the exact same thing to them, which is fund everything else and make them pay and pay and pay. It would probably be better for the Venezuelan people. They just overthrew the current government. But I think that's going to take a little bit more. It may drag on, but the Soviet Union, or at least Russia, now does not have the cash like they did in 1988 for a protracted issue. We'll be back in just a minute.

And we're going to take a look at a few stocks. Mal Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, he got a figure that I think a lot of people were piling on short on this one, especially in the yesterday. Got a little bit bigger pop in that one. Over the overnight, we also got the new bi-monthly short numbers. And let me get this up here and see what they were. So I don't tell you wrong. Okay. Wrong ones there. Okay. The last one came in, not very much. I kind of like this. You're down to, well, you got, you gained a little on this down slope, which is one of the reasons I suspect we're getting kind of a bounce. But you've got a 20, I call it 21 and a half million shares short, which is kind of where this thing has been. It did have up to 35 million shares back at the beginning of the year. So the short interest kind of came off. That allowed the stock to kind of come back. You're kind of getting a little bit more in a bounce. Here's another one where I would like to see this kind of bounce up and move down. My guess is that the price destruction in Facebook though comes out of the blue when we see a justice department subpoena for them to issue a lot of papers on probably ongoing antitrust disputes. I think they have a fairly good case for them crushing snap to some extent and basically looting everybody else's ideas. More important, many of the Democrats on Capitol Hill have kind of shifted from looking at Facebook as a help to a hindrance. And you know, when you get people that eventually become powerful enough that come after you too, and I think a lot of those Congress people don't kind of like getting taken potshots every day from the Facebook crowds. They want to split it up. I think that had already been a thing for a year on the Republican side of the fence. So I think that there is a fairly decent appetite to blow this thing up. And the question is exactly how do they do it, but like I said, there's a handful of stocks out here that are in trouble. We talked I think very little about Apple the other day losing their Supreme Court bid. And that was on the App Store. The dirty little secret has been that programmers and if you're not a big company, you never really made any money. And a handful of people did. But the amount of apps that actually broke even after the 2.5 million apps for iPhones, the 100,000 people that actually broke even on it and probably more like 50,000 people that actually or companies that actually made money on it was that they continued to siphon off 30% of everything that was made and to give back to Apple. Now, that's the when you get the Supreme Court to say, go ahead, there's generally a likelihood that you will prevail. That is kind of the nod from up above. Now, things can happen in the lower courts and it'll probably take a little while to get through. But generally when you get a nod up at the very top, everybody knows which way this is going to go. Maybe they'll make a deal with the government. But I think you got a pretty good prima facie case against Apple, so they'll have to do something. We've seen this before with Amazon trying to fix the price of books. Oh, what was it about eBooks? It was about 2011 or 2012. I think that's all came out. A lot of these guys have a multitude of sins where they were just trying to get by. And of course, they blamed it on the old honest mistake. Well, I didn't know or no one really came or a lot of people came and went. The old honest mistake only works for so long. And I think Apple, a pretty good indication that the walled garden won't run for that long. Google also has problems, but they are a lot more about Europe that I think than the United States. You got a big bounce out of this one too today. And then we got what, about a $40 range on it. And again, you already got down on this on earnings. They're going to continue to have significant problems in the rest of the world as two things. One, their sins come back to haunt them. And two, now that they're not looked at is some kind of deity and more like a piggy bank, more people will find them as an ongoing concern. About $30 billion in the last year and fines, eventually a billion here and a billion there, eventually talking real money. You can give me a call at<PHONE_NUMBER>. One of the reasons why I suspect that we will have a great deal more in the way of stocks and people selling the fang and around the fang stocks at least across the summer and start seeing a lot more action in stocks that are probably a little less well-known and maybe even the biotechs getting hammered enough that they may even be a buy. Eventually you revert to the mean and the mean has been incredible over the last 30 years of biotechs. It also is extremely volatile. But not a bad-looking position out here. You have a double gap that goes back to the 7th of January. You went through that a couple of days ago, yesterday, a little lighter volume. Today also the same thing. So you got fairly decent risk rewarded in the IBB now. But again, I think we could do nothing for a handful of days, light volumes into next week, and then get ready for a fairly decent bull run across the summer. You ve got, I think it s the 29th and 30th. Let s look at during the break of President Xi Zung meeting with President Trump very late at that G20 meeting, which I think is the 29th and 30th. They both decided to go, which tells you that they re probably going to have discussions there. I don t think that it is going to end up with anything signed, but we might have a little bit of a detente, and the market may start looking forward toward that. Tutu-tu, what else do we have? We ve got some emails here. Let s take a look. Skyworks Solutions, SWAS, as a possible short. I don t know. It looks to me like a possible long. We ve got a little bit of a gap up on almost 9 million shares. On February 6th, we got into 3 million shares a couple days ago, and kind of back into this trading range today, not a lot of volume. You may need a little bit more consolidation, but I don t see the volume below the bottom yet. We ll be back in a minute.

I mean, you got a fairly nice bounce off a 9 million share low with 3 million shares, so I don't see a lot. Now, you came down on heavier volume, which a lot of these stocks did, which means that you probably need some level of consolidation. That's where I think that maybe the next week, if these things don't try to take off instantly but kind of quiet down here, see some sideways action on the light volume, then the risk reward is going to be a lot better when we get into fund buying at the end of the month. Not everything is an instant v-bottom. I know how a lot of people want to think about that. A lot of these stocks are pretty and super washed out. A lot of these things are way off the highs. Restoration hardware is kind of one. You got 350,000 shares today on a little doji compared to 13.3 million shares back on the 29th of March. So, to me, I just don't see a compelling issue to start swinging away at lows here. I don't think that the bottom is going to break out. If it is, it's going to be next month. We've already taken kind of a big hit. And if you start seeing heavier volume to the downside, that's one thing. But I think most of the action is over for the downside. We can start actually thinking, not acting on longer or medium term or even for me, a couple of week long positions coming at the end of the month. I don't know if we want to be long going into the G20 meeting, but that could be it. And again, we come back on, what is it, Monday or Tuesday? What is it? It's next Thursday. And on next Thursday, we have the UK vote for their Euro stuff. It looks like there's going to be some turmoil there. Maybe that's enough to kind of get everybody to just kind of sit back and watch what happens. And maybe that's what we need to make a tradeable low out into the last week of the month. I'm not real bearish here. I'm not real bullish either as we look at the next week. But if, I mean, pretty much since the last week of April, everything is kind of unfolded exactly as the market had been predicting it. We didn't get a lot of other things that I wasn't looking for or didn't seem to be rather apparent. We were looking for the market to sell off into those IPOs and suck a lot of oxygen out of the room. Maybe we still get a little bit of that next week. We'll have to see whether or not slack in some of the other ones. But certainly what was going to be about $8 billion being sucked out this week has turned to about $2 billion, which is much better, at least for the market. So we may continue to see a lot of these IPOs drop out as badly as Lyft and Uber has done. Give me call<PHONE_NUMBER>. Email me at path at tfnn.com and I look forward to your phone calls today as it is rather quiet as most of the action already happened. What else do we have going on? After the bell tonight, we've got Cisco. So we'll take a quick look at that. Kind of tough to actually see if anything's going on it. Of course, it has sold back off a little bit of pop up into this gap down that basically was driven by China news. That was back on the 13th. So you get down volume did increase slightly. You got up to $57.53, which is the April 16th eye and you're back here. But again, I think a lot of these international companies like Cisco and Intel they've had some destruction in them. And again, I think you want to see them going sideways.  But I continue to see it kind of flat out here. But maybe a little higher in Cisco I think a lot of people kind of dour but you know depends a lot what they're going to say to but again they weren't selling a lot of routers to China already. So I don't know if that's going to matter that much at all. In fact, a lot of people might start thinking about who they'd rather have hacking them the United States or China and you never know. To what else? Okay, got a quick question about Microsoft. Again, everybody probably wanting to flood into these well-known stocks as soon as the a little bit attention was taken off the market. To today and not since Snowden now did Cisco back in 2014. Hard to hack a rotary phone. I don't know. Yeah. I had a little Radio Shack thing at the time a little hand dialer you could just hold up and of course in the late 70s the thing to have was go in there and add a couple of components they could apart and it would make a couple of the tones that sound like quarters. You could just hit the thing and you never really needed to carry any more quarters with you and get free phone calls. I remember that was a big deal from that Radio Shack thing. But I think it was about 83 or 85. They updated the systems around where I lived and no longer worked. In fact, one of the interesting stories of Apple is how they funded themselves and these things were called blue boxes. I think they were called blue boxes or red boxes at the time to give you free phone calls on pay phones. But if you ever wondered how Apple got started and got the money the engineer with Steve or Steve Wozniak was making these boxes for the mob and selling them for a couple hundred bucks cost them about 25 bucks to make and that's how they got all the basic money at least that's how the story goes for funding Apple and building those first PCB boards. Cheat the phone system. Yeah, mob bell was an easy target back then but that's it. Okay, what else do we have? ADM supermarket to the world. A few things out here that are looking interesting to me and that is I still everybody yelling about farmers I still wonder where people are going to get their food from because was there going to be a bunch of other people farming that I didn't know about that suddenly could open up massive amounts of food didn't all this stuff just fungible didn't everybody just going to sell it to Vietnam and Vietnam's going to actually move it up to China maybe there's a little hit on price but I not like there's all this food just kind of lying around so all the stuff that we'd sell to China I think it's just going to go through another country and avoid at least some or most of the tariffs we'll talk about Bitcoin I've got a question for that when we come back<PHONE_NUMBER> 2018 set up tax free zones across the country where you can build and hold for 10 years and pay no tax on the profits which makes these lots valuable the investment is anywhere from 30,000 to 75,000 the interest paid is 7% yearly paid on a monthly basis according to bankrate.com the best rate for a four year CD in the country as of February 20th is 3.1% a $50,000 investment at a normal four year CD rate of 3.1% would give you income of $1,550 per year or $6,200 over the four year period that same $50,000 investment in the target first mortgage program would give you $3,500 per year or $14,000 over the four years what should you prefer? $6,200 or $14,000 of interest on your investment if you'd like more information about the target first mortgage program you can call me at<PHONE_NUMBER> that's<PHONE_NUMBER> if you haven't checked out the newsletters page of TFNN.com what are you waiting for?

the front page of TFNN and get those Tiger dollars we head into these long three day weekends which tend to be somewhat quiet in the meantime call me at<PHONE_NUMBER> had a little question about what goes on after you have the double repo pattern the double repo pattern is much like a three gap play and that is the target is right where you started off for in the three gap play so we kind of had it in the in the conclusion I mean the what would you say the the just trying to come up with the right word confirmation I want to say that the confirmation was on the NASDAQ was on the 7th when it closed back below you had two days where it tried to push back above and the next day you closed back lower and of course all the destruction happened over those next five trading days but the first day that it closes over the three by three is where this pattern starts and of course two days ago we already got into that low next day closed above it pushed down again into that same area and we're first out of it now the downside is where the I don't know if it's the downside the interesting thing is that that continuation line from the downside also puts the pressure on this market so over the next three days we should continue to see at least the NASDAQ kind of come out here at about let's call it 7750 7775 we're probably going to be looking at that as an ongoing trend I do not expect to blow through anything more than we probably have today tomorrow we might get if people I'll look at the short numbers tonight my guess is that we probably had a bunch of people piling in at the very lows in short positions and that got blown apart this morning with a fairly decent reversal now what we don't have is volume as we said earlier in the show a couple things going on but one of them is incredibly light volume 4.2 billion shares already when we had 8.5 billion shares on the downside so we're kind of about halfway volume mark with an hour and 15 minutes left to go again Cisco out after the bell my guess is that it's maybe up a buck or down 50 cents I don't see a great deal of movement in Cisco maybe they'll surprise us but I don't think that there was much when I looked in the options I don't think that there's much when I look stock and I could see you know a fairly benign reception to them in that and of course then we get into Friday or I mean Thursday before the bell where we might have a little bit more going on that is Walmart and you know as far as things going on they've done okay it's not they haven't been blown apart or anything still holding a hundred bucks fairly decently I don't know if there's a great deal to pick up from them I can tell you from being in the stores that they've cut back the amount of people and the lines are significant in the checkout lines so I don't know if they're trying to force more people over into the automatic what do you call it automatic cashiers automatic tellers I guess the automatic sales line and even those are ridiculously long lines so I think that they've at least from what I can tell cut back as best they could on labor costs especially making customers wait a lot I don't know if that's going to bother a lot of people just yet if it continues on I think it will because I heard a lot of people grumbling in line over myself basically but more people but I always have a way of getting out and that's going to the and checking out over in the lawn and garden department where there's not the line never seems to be that long but you have to kind of walk halfway across the store but still a great strategy for getting through it did we talk about ADM I can't remember now I don't think we did would again like to see a lot of these stocks they tested their previous low on lighter volume we've got a couple side days I think we did talk about them to another one American super semiconductor closing back the day back into the trading range I suspect what you need is a close above $11.40 right now we're at $11.30 so you need about a dime by the end of the day to be back in the trading range or maybe tomorrow so we may have seen the worst in the short run for the semis I could continue to think though that we could see very light volume and kind of just trickle out into next week with slightly lower prices each day with a little bit of momentum but again I'm kind of hoping that sets up some tremendous buys where we get rid of this overbought and oversold conditions and the market can get back into a trend to do what else do we have okay what's the that's the name of the stock what do we've got for that okay after the bell tomorrow night that would probably be enough to put some stuff on the SMH you're down to about 160 you saw some nice stuff a lot of people piling on NVIDIA in the recent days let's take a look at that one NVIDIA it's not as bad as you would think the last couple of days we've got two looks like about 14.2 million shares short which is just a little bit more than the previous reporting period but way off the one of the end of March where you had about 20 million shares so you're down about 6 million shares in shorts and that's kind of like I'm saying that happened about where the top was generally the tops come in when the shorts give up I know we've got a lot of people getting ready to pile back on generally where you find a case load

Had a good question during the break come in which is why do I spend so much time on days to cover for shorts and don't spend a lot on the percentages when percentages are high that's good to know but the float the outstanding float numbers tend to be fairly off almost all the time you can get kind of a decent idea but if the stocks kind of active and there's a lot of people shorting it like Facebook Netflix or all the other where we go that number tends to be horribly off and you look at three different sites and you get three different numbers what's fairly easy not to lie about is what the average volume's been like for the last 30 or 60 or 90 days and how many shares are short we know those things are pretty much accurate so days to cover is just dividing the average volume of the last 30 days over how many shorts are out in case everybody decided to leave it once how narrow would those exits be when someone cried fire in a crowded theater and that's probably the best way to look at it short interest itself doesn't automatically mean that you're going to have and see a bottle rocket when a low comes in especially if the stock's been really hammered it takes a while for it to come back even with high short levels of interest but days to cover almost always a much better metric to go for stocks that are incredibly short and that reason is you can't really trust the float numbers for these stocks they're all over the place and I don't know if people have an economy with the truth about them but they seem to be rather wild in the meantime sell what you can not when you have to ever when you can not when you have to and we will see you here tomorrow same bat channel, same bat time Tiger dollars on the front page of TFNN


Well hello and welcome to Understand Men Now. I'm Jonathan Asley of JonathanAsley.com And I'm so excited to be shooting this short video for you today. Our topic how a high-quality man says I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. Really quickly before we get started you might notice I'm wearing a suit this time. Someone recently mentioned that she thought I'd be better off be more professional if I wore a suit when I shot these videos. So today I'm wearing a suit. Although since I'm since it's COVID I am not wearing the suit pants to go with this. All right, let's just jump into a topic how a high-quality man, you know what let's shift that how emotionally mature man says I love you. Okay, how does an emotionally mature man say I love you? So I've come up with this phrase that I use what I love you means to me and that's what I want to share with you I want you to explore what I love you means to you and so whether it's a man or woman this really goes both ways and You know first I've got to stop real quick before I get into this.  I live at the beach You know I wear flip-flops every day. This isn't my style, but I just wanted to start the video So just to remember I love you. Okay, so Thank you for your patience with me. I don't know why I just chose to do that, but anyway When I say I love you this is what it means to me and let me explain why after I share each sentence So the first basically there's six parts to I love you in my world. That's the world according to Jonathan Number one, I'm here I'm here and what that means is I'm present. I'm present to this relationship. I'm present to Acknowledging you I'm present to this experience Oftentimes most people are focused on the future or they're focused on the past In other words, they're hoping something will change in the future or they're reliving their past and it affects Their present so the first words I say when I say I love you it means I'm here. I'm present. I'm present to you Number two is You matter you matter So when I say the words I love you you matter means that your feelings matter to me In other words, I'm present to your feelings I'm present to your needs wants and desires not only my own needs wants and desires the average human is more focused on their own needs and And oftentimes women tend to be givers so they give to satisfy someone else's needs But I'm here to say that a true mature man when he says I love you He's saying you matter your needs matter and that's and and really when you reckon when you're recognizing that a man Doesn't value your needs He might say the words I love you, but it doesn't mean he really means it from an emotionally mature state Number three Well first, let's read real. Let's go backward. I'm here. You matter number three three We are important the we are important and I'm hugging myself to demonstrate that when you hug someone There's a we the relationship is a separate entity So oftentimes more people most people are focused in the I love you meaning I need you to love me for me to feel Good about myself. I need you to love me for me to feel good about myself But in a we relationship you recognize it. There's a you. There's a me and then there's a we we is a separate entity We is a separate entity and a relationship is a separate entity that requires an investment of time energy resources emotional commitment transparency vulnerability Personal responsibility actions matching words. That's what the we represents So when we step into the we matter then when someone says I love you It's coming from a sense of an immature person says it from an from a place of understanding that the we matters So I'm here You're important We matter I've got your back I've got your back That's the fourth one. I've got your back What that means is saying that we're We're part of a team, you know, we're working together in this we relationship as a team And I'm here to say if you're in relationship with someone if you've been with men who have said I love you but they don't treat it as I've got your back like you know that they've got your back You can feel it and you've got their back Because that's what an emotionally mature person does they recognize that if they're gonna say the words I love you that I've got your back has to be a component And the fourth or the fifth piece is I'm not going anywhere. I'm not going anywhere In other words, I'm committed to this relationship. I'm committed to the we I recognize there's a you There's a me and I'm committed to the we I'm not going anywhere and And sadly a lot of people say I love you, but they've got one foot out the door You've got one foot out the door. So people might say the words. I love you, but a true emotionally mature person Says it from a place is I'm not going anywhere. I genuinely mean this. I'm not second-guessing this and Lastly when an emotionally mature person says I love you they say Again, I'm gonna repeat. I'm here. You matter We are important. I've got your back.  You'll feel desired You get it's coming from a place of I desire you I only want you I'm not interested in any other women. I'm not interested. I'm interested investing in this relationship. I only want you Ladies I get it's it's complicated trying to understand men, you know Men say that they're simple and yet they're so effing complex because they're all over the map It's one of the reasons why I wrote my book Understand men now the relationships men commit to and why you're not familiar with my book go to Amazon It's sold there both as a Kindle on a paperback And by the way, this was my first book and it's a little It's a little naive. I wrote it from a place of naivety and what I mean to say is it's just a base Understanding of man. It's not that deep dive of understanding men But it gives you some basic principles it piggybacks from my book that I talk about frequently is self-love what the heck is self-love anyway and why I'm talking about self-love is that Wow, I'm sweating from just wearing that jacket um self-love Understands that when we love on ourselves and we can be more open and receptive to love from another human being and they're Capable of giving love because an emotionally mature person steps into Saying the words I love you from a place of emotional maturity And if you haven't watched my video on emotional maturity go fine I did a podcast called the five signs of emotional maturity Half of my videos are all centered around emotional maturity, which sadly only represents a small percentage of the population And yet the emotionally mature person says I love you from a place of I'm here you matter We are important. I've got your back. I'm not going anywhere and I only want you Doesn't that feel good, please tell me doesn't that feel good write a comment. Tell me how that feels just hearing it Oh, by the way, write a comment about my suit that I wore any thoughts about my clothing Anyway, I think you get the gist of where I'm going here I hope you found value in this video if you want help understanding men If you want to help take your relationship to the next level if you want help attracting the right guy Then check out my free discovery call to see if working isn't what the coach is right for you Also, check out my book what the heck is self-love anyway my book understand men now my podcast the what would love do podcast Just click the links below right there I'd love for you to take your love life to a whole next level And oftentimes it starts with a wake-up call. That's why I'm very passionate when I shoot my videos All right, I'm gonna wrap up this video as I always do now first off giving myself a big gigantic hug of self-love I'm gonna reach into the screen and give you a hug of love I'm gonna ask you to turn to someone and give them a hug of love because hugs are a great source of love And we can all use more love in our lives. Thanks so much and wishing you a super duper wonderful day. Bye. Bye now


So this story has me really feeling confused And I don't know how to process it, but overall I'm glad so Joe Manchin for once in his life Has done something that I don't entirely disagree with He has chosen to come out against the confirmation of near-attending as director of the OMB now It is for the wrong reasons He thinks that she's too mean to Republicans a little bit too divisive and sure her tweets are absolutely without question divisive She goes after everyone the left. She's blocked me on Twitter and she also goes against or goes after Republicans I don't care that she goes after Republicans really near-attending is The embodiment of every single thing that is wrong with Washington DC She's too close with special interests as president of cap She took millions and millions of dollars from big tech companies large multinational corporations She literally advocated to steal Libya's oil, which is a war crime by the way She wanted cuts to social security. She physically assaulted someone a journalist And on top of that she outed a sexual harassment victim who was working at cap There's a plethora of reasons why she shouldn't be confirmed her being too mean to Republicans That's the least of my concerns. I'll be it the fact that Joe Manchin is on the right side here Great. I wish that it were progressives in the Senate who are actually standing up to near-attending You know, maybe Bernie Sanders, Ed Markey, Jeff Merkley, even Elizabeth Warren, but nonetheless We got Joe Manchin. So a broken clock is right twice a day so we learned last week that Joe Manchin would not be supporting near-attending's confirmation and at that time the question was Now since this basically throws her confirmation into jeopardy since Joe Biden would need at least one Republican Which is really unlikely is he going to withdraw the nomination and at the time he said no as of the 19th anyways Okay, so at the time I understand that makes sense because this is only a minor setback You just need one Republican to cross the aisle and perhaps Mitt Romney or Susan Collins would do just that Except now the Republicans who in theory were the most likely to cross the aisle and support near-attending's confirmation Have come out and said no, we are not going to support near-attending's confirmation So as Brett Samuels and Morgan Shaw fun of the Hill report Senate confirmation of near-attending to lead the office of management and budget appeared increasingly improbable on Monday After three key Republicans said they would oppose her GOP Senator Susan Collins, Mitt Romney and Rob Portman joined Senator Joe Manchin in opposing Tandon seemingly leaving her at least one vote short for a confirmation if Tandon falls it would be the first time a Biden cabinet nominee was blocked from Confirmation given the mansion defection President Biden would need one Republican in the narrowly Democratic-controlled Senate to vote in favor of Tandon's confirmation But on Monday three of the most likely possible choices said they would not back her citing inflammatory tweets while the White House has publicly backed Tandon Officials are already considering backup plans. So as of the 19th He was saying I have no plans to withdraw my nomination but now we're getting reports that they see that the writing is on the wall and Her confirmation is now in jeopardy to that I say Good job Joe Manchin and Mitt Romney it feels almost sinful to have those words leave my lips Nonetheless, if you do something that ultimately is better for America that the left wants. I don't care who you are I care about results not who gets me those results So Joe Manchin is gonna end up by accident on the right side of this issue Along with Mitt Romney Susan Collins. That's fantastic. Now. I still have to say even though I'm happy and I want to celebrate the fact that it looks like near a Tandon is going to go down Although we don't necessarily know for sure yet. I'm not gonna lie my soul is a little bit crushed because this should have been something that every semi-leftist in the country Was in agreement on that near a Tandon obviously is not someone who should be qualified who is qualified for any position She should not be confirmed for any government position for all of the reasons that I listed and that's not even like All of them. There's many reasons as to why near a Tandon is not qualified is terrible And will I be satisfied with the individual who Biden names to replace her almost certainly? No But what we do know about near a Tandon is more than enough to deduce that she is not someone who's going to be looking out for the People but yet leftists can't get it through their heads that this is not your friend Bernie Sanders should have immediately Stated his opposition to near a Tandon, but yet as CNN's Manu Raju reports He won't actually say whether or not he'll confirm her but he is supposedly speaking with her by now I'm sure that that meeting already took place But this shouldn't be like a question like we shouldn't be wondering will Bernie Sanders be against near a Tandon It should just go without saying I mean He's the individual who I think brilliantly and eloquently laid out all of the conflicts of Interest that are there. Why would you confirm someone who is so entrenched in corporate America? I mean, this is the corruption that the left is supposed to be against So why is this so difficult why there's so many people on the left who are afraid to go against Joe Biden and near a Tandon? Like these are corporate Democrats corporate Democrats are bad And when we find the worst of the worst who are auditioning for a position just because they want to advance their own careers And don't actually care about the people in this country Then we fight them now even the executive director at Justice Democrats on CNN advocated for the Confirmation of near a Tandon and attacked Joe Manchin when he's right for the first time perhaps in his entire life Yeah, and I mean, you know, there's there's public record of those tweets But the reality is I think that Joe Manchin is the one being divisive right now We are in the middle of a public pandemic Joe Biden was just elected by a huge mandate By the American people we have to deliver as Democrats and we need people in positions of power Who are ready and prepared to go big in this moment and not leave anyone behind the mentality has got to be of The Democratic Party, especially but any elected official that we have to move quickly to save as many lives as possible And I would also point out that he had no problem voting to confirm other appointments of clearly partisan members when it was the previous Republican administration there should be no I think opposition to some you know Folks that are being proposed by the Biden administration who have you know Clearly are ready to do the work and are ready to get the job done and they feel are the best prepared to do it What was that? I'm sorry, but near a Tandon is not someone who is quote ready and prepared to go big in this moment and Not leave anybody behind You do know who near a Tandon is like I'm almost hoping that the executive director of Justice Democrats One of the most prominent left-wing organizations is just woefully Misinformed because that if that's actually like your beliefs about near a Tandon one of the most corrupt elites in DC Then we have to like reevaluate our positions. We have to reevaluate what we're doing. I Mean really and I hate it is driving me nuts how people Justified their bad political beliefs by saying oh well We have to do X because this is a pandemic and the situation is really serious right now No, you're just using that as an excuse To give someone who is very unqualified for that position a pass and on Twitter. Jank you were tweeted out I'm not a fan of near a Tandon. In fact, she did some of her mean tweets about me, but unlike Republicans I don't think we should cancel her because she once hurt someone's feelings the hypocrisy of GOP Crying over cancel culture and then trying to cancel her over her tweets is amazing Except this isn't about mean tweets This is about the substance like the mean tweets and the divisiveness that is one of Many reasons why she shouldn't be confirmed mean tweets like sure you could say see if she's divisive She attacks the left and she's too much of an instigator But still it's it's the corruption that we care about Jank has been one of the loudest advocates to get money out of politics So why would you be in favor of someone like near attended now? He does make the case later on that Well, if it's not near attended then it's gonna be someone way worse because Joe Biden is terrible But that's not an excuse like we shouldn't just say oh well You know what this person is terrible, but odds are there's gonna be someone even worse for that position I mean we have to fight. That's all part of the process like none of this is different None of this is easy It's always going to be difficult that doesn't mean that we roll over and die and I I hate this because people on the left are becoming just Accepting of whatever Joe Biden wants to do because sure he is better than Donald Trump. He's done a number of good things He's handling the pandemic Competently, but when it comes to actually making a difference in people's lives, you're not going to make a difference We're not going to see an impact if he keeps nominating corrupt ghouls Who just get into positions of power and further enrich themselves Do we honestly believe that near attended who has accepted millions of dollars from big tech companies and large multinational? Corporations is actually going to do anything to improve the lives of the American people Sure, you know if she fails which that seems likely Biden's new nominee could very well be someone equally as if not more conservative than near attended But the thing is that near attended like anything that she says that is ostensibly progressive That's all facade. She ran the center for American progress so her entire like Political theater revolves around her convincing people that she's a progressive but in actuality She's not you have to look at the evidence When there was momentum for Medicare for all, what was she advocating for a means tested private insurance-based? Alternative the thwart momentum for Medicare for all Someone who's okay with Americans dying because they don't have health insurance. That's no progressive That's no progressive someone who literally Advocated stealing the oil from a sovereign nation committing a war crime That's no progressive and so what I just want to see is is fight like I want to see the left actually fight I want to see Bernie Sanders unequivocally condemn near attended and without question say no I'm gonna be working with the OMB director. I want someone who I can trust we cannot trust near attended Her record over the years has been nothing but destructive and divisive so no try again Joe Biden do better I mean if we never use our leverage if we never actually push back against the Democratic Party establishment in a meaningful way when we actually have leverage when near attended needs every single vote then We're never gonna be effective people are going to lose faith in Progressives and we can't have that happen. There's a number of progressives Or leftists online who are already just like Disregarding Nina Turner who hasn't even been elected yet Like they're already saying well, she's just gonna be as ineffectual as members of the squad So I'm not even gonna try to get her elected just let the corporate Democrat win that may not be their words But that's effectively their argument. So people like that don't give them ammunition Actually fight and prove that people in Congress are there for a reason to fight. So Bernie get it together fight Elizabeth Warren, where are you at Ed Marquis Jeff Merkley? Like what are we doing? People in organizations who are influential Alexandra Rojas Jen Uber fight. Don't roll over fight That's what I want to see continue to fight and to agitate and push back against the Democratic Party establishment who is not Our friends. They're not our allies They are our enemies and if we don't treat them as such then we're going to be steamrolled again And if we get steamrolled that means that Republicans will be empowered because Democrats They don't have the answers the left does so we have to behave that way and Fight them when they do wrong and fight folks like near attendant But thankfully it seems as if she is going to go down. So that's really good news But let's learn from this and actually stop letting bad people take advantage of us and You know further advance their own careers for narcissistic reasons like let's actually push back for once


Jerry writes and asks, is there any way to block my work router from seeing what I am browsing? They block sites like Apple, so it's nothing bad, but I want to browse. Is there any way of changing a setting on my Mac to do that or do I have to use a VPN? So I think you could try changing the DNS servers of your Mac to use something not being the ones that are provided by your router. So you'd go into your Mac, you'd go into system preferences, network, whatever interface you're using, either Ethernet or Wi-Fi, go into advanced or just go into DNS. Ethernet doesn't really have the advanced button the same way Wi-Fi does, but get yourself into that advanced mode. Take the DNS tab and change your DNS servers to something like <IP_ADDRESS>.8, which is Google's or <IP_ADDRESS>, which is Cloudflare's, I think I have that right. And see if that helps you. If it does, then that's how they're blocking it and they're doing it by DNS and now you've gotten around it. Whether or not that's copacetic with your employer, I'll leave between you and them. But I think you're going to need a VPN to do this. And so if you're going to go with a VPN, and it's funny, in pre-show we were talking about this, a paid VPN is going to be better for a variety of reasons, A, you're probably going to get a higher quality of service, you're almost certainly going to be able to find a paid VPN that does not track your usage and sell your usage to make money because everybody needs to at least cover their costs, if not make some money. And so if you're not paying them, then you are the product, right? It's good to remember. So the VPNs that we'd pay for ExpressVPN is not a sponsor anymore. They were, but I found out this week, because I signed up for them again, is that ExpressVPN.com does still get you extra three months when you buy a year, which I just did this week. So that's one way to go. NordVPN is another great one as far as paid VPNs go. If you don't want to pay for a VPN, there are a few free VPNs that I have messed with and used quite a bit over the years that do work. And really, I've narrowed it down to two that I will use. ProtonVPN is probably going to be the best of these, although it might not get you what you want because they have some limits on how their free VPN works. But they are very much a freemium offering in that they offer a free tier with limits and then an option to pay to remove those limits. So you're working with a reputable VPN vendor, right? It's probably not. In fact, I'm almost certain that Proton's not selling you data. So that's one is ProtonVPN. And then the truly free VPN where you should expect to have your data sold or at least tracked or something along those lines is ListVPN at listvpn.net. But part of the way they make money is ads on their website. And part of the way they get you to go to their website is that the free account you create is only good for five days. So you have to go every five days and create a new account. Now, it's really not that big of a deal. It takes all about 30 seconds to go through and create the account. But then you are visiting their website. You are letting them show you their ads. And so they are making money that way. I don't know if they're making money other ways. So just bear that in mind. But those are the two free VPNs that not only would I recommend, again, with Eyes Wide Open, but also that I have personally used quite a bit and they work. But I will tell you that moving from either of those up to ExpressVPN speeds on ExpressVPN are like 10 times what I was getting with the free VPN. So if speeds, like if it's just for browsing or whatever, fine, if it's for, you know, any sort of downloading or file transfers in either direction, you know, probably worth paying. What did I pay for ExpressVPN? Like $100 for the year, $100 for 15 months because I used the old, I don't know why they haven't expired it, but ExpressVPN.com slash MGG works. So, hey, it's good.


Hey there, guys. Detective Agent. How y'all doing? Hopefully y'all doing well.  We'll let y'all know that me and Lowe just started a new channel where we're gonna be dropping all our reactions and competitive videos.

Apparently there's been an update, a couple updates actually on current gen version of NBA 2K21. So I'm gonna ask the question that everyone always asks, was current gen 2K21 really that bad? It just crashed again. That's a good sign. Oh, okay. Wait, first things first, the holiday update. There's a big little snowflake. I think that's it. I think they just changed the Ferris wheel.

Man, I want a snowman with legs walking around the neighborhood, bro. Yeah, imagine if it had animated snowman NPCs. To give you Christmas missions, like to take down the Grinch, to beat him in an event, like that'd be hard. Little gingerbread man on this team. Come on, 2K. Oh my God. It's lagging. Oh, he could shoot. All right. I just, for a moment, I thought the big man couldn't shoot. That's my fault. Take advantage of the agent. Get right, agent. Let's go. Yes, sir, baby. I just want to show. Hey. Agent, did you crash on me? It's okay. I'm actually having a blast Christmas update. Yeah, no, having a great time on this right here. I want to put forth an apology. I mean, leave you hanging like that, man. And it did it again. Cool. Give me a 2K.   Yeah, he's legit. He's going to be trash. Oh, man. Oh, man. We got to carry, Trey. God, I miss not having a Micor. I'm not going to lie. Yo, ain't that, yo, that was crazy. Bro, why would they take that out the game, man? The Micor was true. Oh, good pass, Trey. Wow. That was an accident. It was an accident. Let me pin that bulls***. Oh, yeah. Oh, my. Mike. Let's go get right.  I literally f***ing pump f***ing Mike. Hey, can we fix this goddamn lag? What is nerf these billboards, man?

Don't shoot, shoot that. All right, I didn't think he was going to hit the chase down. Give me a minute. What the? Okay, go try to hurt myself. Don't shoot, don't shoot, don't shoot, don't shoot, don't shoot. Don't worry about it. What a love. Bro, oh no, let it take. All right, we need these. Yes, chase, I got that one. What is that takeover? He got to take over the glitch, bro. And what is that, he got to take over the glitch, or what? That just means he can keep spamming square to fill up the meter. What? Yo, don't leave them. What is that takeover? God, damn, and watch him hit that. Of course, that's a foul, of course, all right. Hey, that was a switch, hey, I'm not going to lie to you.

Current Gen 2K21, I'm still miserable playing. So I guess I'm back on Next Gen with it, man. I wish they dropped the Next Gen version on PC that had been dope, or just give this game the same billboard update that Next Gen got because playing that in smooth conditions, in my opinion, is fun. But this right here, I mean, you could play with the most entertaining people on Planet Earth, and you'd still be thinking to yourself, like, it's probably better games to play. Hey, drop a like, subscribe to the channel. Links is in the description, both Trey and Chase. Those people, we just played that hack. I'm gonna catch you guys in the next one. Come on, peace.


Hello and welcome everyone. Thanks for joining us today. We're excited to have you on during today's webcast We will be going over our latest release 11.4 where we have several new features that will help improve efficiency My name is Agnes and I work on the marketing program team here at GitLab. I'm joining you from Jakarta, Indonesia today Also joining us this morning is John Jeremiah from product marketing and James Ramsey from products We're going to give people just a couple more minutes to get locked on while we're waiting. I'm going to launch a poll You can take part in if you'd like the graphic on this slide may be useful as you think through your answer for the first poll question Thank you to everyone who participated in the poll before we get started I'm going to cover a couple of housekeeping items first. Feel free to ask questions throughout the presentation You can use the Q&A function at the bottom of your screen for that We'll have dedicated time for questions at the end of the presentation and demo But you can go ahead and send in your questions as you think of them and we'll make sure to get to them at the end If you are experiencing any technical difficulties, you can use the chat function to get in touch with me the moderator for help Now I'm going to turn it over to John to talk about the results. Thanks Agnes I'm super happy to be with everyone today and to talk to you all and talk about what's happening in 11.0 11.4 We keep releasing so fast. I got almost got tied up on 11.0 But 11.4 is an exciting release and it's one of the things that's most exciting about it is all the things we've done to help improve efficiency across the whole life cycle and And so to look at that and when I look at the poll results, so I think you can all see the poll results You know, I can see that again It's it's common that I see a lot of people using you're focusing on source code management and create stage of the life cycle But it's also it's exciting to see the breadth of what people are doing across the life cycle about people who are You know trying to work on planning and managing their projects to you know verifying and releasing So it's for me at least it's good to see and it's it's a trend I see happening when I talk to customers as well James, I don't know what you see when you talk to customers But for me, this is this is a a pattern that I see people doing and as people learn more about the capabilities of the life Cycle, I think people start to adopt and implement more of these more of the features across the breadth of GitLab Absolutely, right So let's go ahead and dive in and I want to cover off on a few high-level points about what it was key to 11.4 And as I saw 11.4, it was really about how we help improve efficiency across the life cycle It was really capabilities and a lot of features that we released that help people to deliver More effectively and more efficiently and not spend as much time working on what they were doing And we'll talk about code reviews and how we've made code reviews easier both with batch commits and suggested reviewers We'll look at feature flags. We also had a pretty cool update where we moved ci.yaml into core And then lastly a couple other pieces around the file tree and tables For me, it's always exciting to do these because this this is again our 88th consecutive monthly release And so being able to deliver quickly and to move quickly is key now Suggested reviewers was a feature that we built on how we started off with code owners in our last release And then this release we started to roll in the idea of who should be Selected or who should be involved in reviewing a merge request and so with with this now We're able to suggest and you'll see this in in the demo We do later of who should be involved in reviewing this specific change The intent here is to make it easier for you to identify who should be reviewing code And who should be involved in making those changes and in approving the changes before they go live and we'll look at that shortly Now the other thing was that we realized that it took you oftentimes when people were making comments And we were doing updates and commenting on a merge request and you'd you'd end up with a series of One comment with a notification and another comment with another notification And and before long you just get hit with one notification after another after another as someone was making comments So with with 11.4 we've introduced the ability to have batch comments to bring comments together into one Consolidated review so as you can make your comments you can set them up and effectively staging your comments Such that it becomes one one notification back back to the team To be aware of what what the update was so batch comments again Makes it easier and more effective to make your make your comments and for teams for people to get notifications about those Now in the spirit of trying to help everyone be more effective and efficient We heard from a lot of people in the community about the power and the usefulness of having include files and making them available And up until now they were available and starter and we've in responding to that We've realized that we needed to move it down and we moved the yaml file include files into Into the core into the community addition making it an open source capability Again, it makes it easier to manage, you know, how you go about Planning your ci pipelines and managing that so that way you can have multiple Include files so rather than having you know all of that all of the Details in your yaml repeated you can have a single include file to manage it easier Excitingly the new feature an alpha feature coming into this release is the capability to to have feature flags built into git lab And with feature flags we have the ability then to turn on or turn off specific features in your application All from git lab and to manage it from git lab We'll demo that in just a few minutes, but this helps you to go faster and to release capabilities to your users without having With the ability to turn on a feature turn off a feature depending upon where you're at This will help you to go this will really help to unlock your ability to go faster and to release faster And it's look for this to be something that we continue to iterate on as we go forward Now one of the problems or challenges oftentimes with a complex merge request is there's lots of different files included in it And being able to understand where they are at in the directory and what files are changing Was a was a update to improve our merge request to make it easier So you can navigate the file tree to understand which files are changing And what the status of those are again helping you to be more efficient and effective in making And making updates and managing your merge requests And the last big improvement or what I think was a big improvement is I've been using markdown tables a lot is Uh a contribution from the community to add the ability to add a table right there in the editor to make it easy to build Build out marked-in tables. Uh, I don't know about everyone else But I know I've usually spent a fair amount of time copying and pasting and finding tables that I could use In the work I'm doing and I I'm excited to see this this added here is it's going to make Make a lot of people's work. I know for myself my work more efficient and more effective So james, I think I've gone through some of the key highlights that I wanted to touch on at least in the slides How about you are you ready to share and go with the demo? Sounds great. I would love to Uh, thank you everyone for joining us. I'm excited to show you some of these features in real time So I'll share my screen Okay, I hope you can all see my screen now Um, so the first features I'd like to show you relate to merge requests So here's a copy of a merge request. I'm actually working on on gearlab.com at the moment Um that I've copied out to a demo environment Um, I'm trying to add a new feature to our api that requires changes to giddily. So I've made a few changes to The giddily source code Which you can see here. So I've changed eight files So the first feature I'd like to show you is leaving batch comments. And so one of the really great applications of them is During a review frequently You'll leave a comment. You'll notice something. It seems out of place. Um, so maybe this this flag doesn't seem useful What is this used for what a strange variable to be adding to this this test file, but then I come down maybe 10 15 lines and all of a sudden it's explained why why this file is here While these variables here. So I don't need my comment anymore. So using reviews. I can delete this before I Waste the valuable time of whoever's going to see this notification Um, but let's go through and add some comments. Um, this Isn't clear Start a review Um, this should be true, I think So as you can see we're starting to build up some comments here um Oh, I've got a little stub here about an unimplemented function This needs to be implemented or merging And so this is this is what it's sort of This is what it looks like as you leave more and more comments We can see that they're pending that they haven't been submitted and I can submit a review at any time Um, or if I want I could add that comment immediately and continue on with the rest of my review Can edit the individual messages? and delete them And the rest of my review is still being in place and then when I'm happy I can click submit review The other feature I want to show you is the file tree which makes it much easy to navigate this I'm scrolling through this really long list of files and I get really lost I'm not very good at keeping a mental map of where I'm at So I've added a new file browser Which all of a sudden gives you a nice searchable file tree so I can quickly see the test files that are changed Click on that to jump to the test files Or I can jump down here and look at a specific implementation. That's just some automatically generated code um And this makes it really nice and easy to jump around small nerd requests large nerd requests and anything in between So these are some really great improvements that make doing code review more efficient Britain both in the process of adding the feedback and also just the navigation and Understanding what's going on I see a few chat questions So it seems like people are having some issues seeing your browser uh, james. I don't know if it's possible to Uh, is anyone are you seeing my screen John or you are I I am seeing it very well actually Yeah, I'm seeing it. I'm seeing it. I'm seeing it as well Um, it might be a zoom issue where people haven't gotten the window open Okay, someone says it's better now. Okay. Um, I'm I apologize To anyone who's had trouble. I hope you caught the important bits Um, we can't we will stop recording as well. So don't don't worry right The uh, the next feature I'd like to show you is feature flags We can all see it Okay, I think it's resolved Okay, so the next feature I'd like to be Little feature flags Which um, you can play with To demonstrate this feature just loading it up Get lamb. Okay. So here we are. Here's this feature flags app and I'll quickly toggle over to the source code because that's The kind of important to explain what's going on. So this is a tiny old go web server to demonstrate feature flags and how they work So there's some configuration information At the top which is connecting the feature flag server And I'll show you where to get that information from in a second The rest of this app is sort of implementation details here. I'm initializing the library. It's language specific Um, but really the guts of this application in the simple hello world app and I'll show you Roughly what it looks like that says hello world But it's got a feature behind a feature flag And if we come down here to this get name function or the server function We've got a template where it's actually getting the the name parameter from the request and If the greeting feature is enabled. That's this line here. It's going to show me a name So let's go back to the feature flag app in git lab and go to the operations dashboard and check out feature flags We'll see I've created a feature flag called greeting I'll just in the source code we can see that's the same Verival I've used here is enabled greeting Currently it's inactive So if I just launch my application Reload this allow Okay now my server's up and running So saying hello world. I'm going to quickly add Man, hello James. It's ignoring this this argument, right So if we go back to our feature flag and click edit and enable it This is enabled the feature flag on the server and if I reload my little application It now says hello john So what we've just done is we've enabled this feature using feature flags on git lab In the application that I built which is totally separate. So what's happening is we're using The Go back to the source code What we're doing is we're using the unleashed library here To connect to the the feature flag server that we've got running on git lab And we're using that to toggle this feature And so the The unleashed library requires a couple of Configuration parameters to get up and going which can be found in the feature flag dashboard You can read more languages more about which languages are supported And where to download the compatible client libraries from by clicking the links and go into the documentation But it's supported in quite a few different languages And this is a really exciting feature for um This integrating like sophisticated feature development and the feature flags needed to progressively roll those out Closing that loop and integrating it nicely into git lab So that's feature flags Just check if there's been any questions Very cool James one question I think is uh You know, but this will be raising their hand and attendees raising their hand Uh, well, I guess one of the questions would be is what languages are supported for uh for feature fives? There's quite a few obviously go Um, which are used in the demo, but also java note and ruby and there's also so those are sufficient officially supported clients and there's also community contributed clients that Also work with the unleashed server, which is for dot net and python, so that's Six languages that are supported by unleashed Very cool. Awesome. Uh, other okay, norbert was asking what about kotlin? Yeah, I don't think it's supported yet I don't think it is no, but um Given that it's open source. You could probably Create your own client. I don't think it's particularly complicated, but there might be also a community project that we're not aware of um, so I'm not sure Fair question So we're at the point where james, do you have anything else you were going to demo? That was that was always going to show you today. Yep So from a q&a perspective, are there questions from the audience that are questions you can put them into the chat or in the q&a feature While we're waiting on that I I guess I have a you know a question and I think the one of the things I thought was cool was the the ability to do Was you know was how How would I say this? So one of the things I thought was was neat was how The you know batch comments are coming and how there are updates to what we're doing around You know source code management and create what's what's on the horizon? What's what's next? um I guess one of the things that is We're working on right now as you mentioned earlier john the codoners feature so we recently released the first iteration of codoners and then in 11.4 we released the automatic suggestion of approvers based on codoners We're going to be continuing to iterate on that in over the coming releases. So in 11.5 um We should see automatic assignment of codoners. So if you've got a codoners file As soon as you open the merge request and start pushing files the appropriate codoners are automatically going to be added to the merge request There's not a manual process at all anymore. It's fully automated And then we're continuing to go even further than that. Um, and in 11.6 will be Adding more structure to our merge request approval system to prepare for 11.7 where we hope to shift required approvals for codoners. So adding that enforcement layer for organizations that um Really want to have a strict code review process where if someone is assigned a codoner that person must approve any change to that file um, so that's some exciting improvements there. Um, and we're also looking at continuing to streamline batch comments and code reviews with a Um, the unified notification that you meant mentioned, um, that's coming very soon. Um, along with um The ability to suggest changes in um merge request comments So when you're leaving a comment on a diff, you'll be able to suggest an alternative Line and just hit apply with a single quick and automatically apply that change into the merge request So those are some exciting features we're working on in the near future Very cool. Yeah, those are going to be exciting changes and updates Uh, i'm watching there's a conversation in this chat. I don't think it's a question Uh, here we go. Uh, we have three teams one team currently promoting to two dev boxes stages that you can read it to Uh, it's in the chat from james The three teams one I'm not sure what the question is Maybe maybe he's still typing Yeah, I'm not sure I get the question from james I think he's asking if there's a documentation. Um, oh How to manage multiple teams, right? I'm not sure james. It might be um a little difficult for us to um Answer the question in this format. So, uh, you'd be welcome to open an issue on the the git lab issue tracker with a I can detailed question of the situation you're having and um, how you're hoping to use git lab and we'd be happy to try and answer that and point you to either documentation or A feature request that'll address your situation And then norbert is asking I thought there would be a way to review a file blob instead of a commit That we we do have some ideas norbert about adding the ability to Files outside of the merge request workflow So like review a blob that is just in a commit somewhere in your repository But we don't yet have a workflow for Leaving leaving that feedback on a line by line level and making it actionable We do have some commenting capabilities where you can leave a comment on a file Like at a file level on a blob, but not on a a line by line basis If that's what you're referring to All right, if we don't have any more questions, perhaps, uh, we can um, you know, maybe share maybe John you can share uh about the upcoming release Sure, absolutely excited to do that. Uh, there we go. So I I thought I'd include a little bit of a tease because you know, we do this every month And I looked ahead to what's coming next month at least what's uh, what's on the docket And I saw a couple of things that I was excited about seeing I saw parallel ci jobs I saw updates to merge requests and james already talked about assigning approvers So I you know, I think 11.5 is the next release is going to be even you know continuing to be exciting Uh and more features and more capabilities are coming to help make you be more efficient and more effective So with that, uh, you know, that's I think the for me the the key there and I think we have what one more Page to go which is our wrap up. Yes, I guess Which is your feed? Um, yes, so Thank you everyone. Um, you know for attending today's Um release reader webcast we'd love to hear your thoughts on today's webcast and would really appreciate your responses to our webinar survey Which I have up on screen and I will also drop into the chat And then um, I guess I will like to end by saying we would also like to invite you to sign up for a free trial of gitlab ultimate Um, we hope you're excited to see what your team can do with it. I will chat that link as well And finally, if you have any other questions, don't hesitate to reach us via our sales contact page about dot gitlab dot com slash sales That's all for today. Thank you so much for joining us Thanks everyone Thank you
