Good evening as friends, welcome to the Hindu News Analysis by Shankara's Academy for the date 17th of July 2022. These are the list of news articles we will be discussing today. Now let's start our discussion. Look at this news article. This news article states that the Kerala government has imposed a 30-day ban on the transportation of pigs, pork and pork products and pork menu to and from the state. This ban was made in view of the outbreak of African swine fever in pigs in Bihar and northeastern states. This is the crux of the news article given here. In this context, let us quickly go through African swine fever. What is African swine fever? African swine fever is a severe viral disease that affects wild and domestic pigs. It is caused by African swine fever virus. What does it result in? It typically results in acute hemorrhagic fever.  The disease has a case fatality rate of about 100%. Its main root of transmission is direct contact with an infected or wild pig. It can also transmit through ingestion of contaminated material such as food waste or garbage or through biological vectors such as ticks. The disease is characterized by the sudden deaths of pigs. Other manifestations of the disease include high fever, depression, anorexia, loss of appetite, hemorrhages in the skin, vomiting and diarrhea among others. There is no treatment or vaccines available for this disease.   That is, even though African swine fever is deadly, it does not spread as quickly as the food and mouth disease. And as I said, there is no approved vaccine for the disease. To prevent the spread of infection, the animals that are exposed to the disease have to be culled. So note that the African swine fever does not infect humans. Now let us see how the African swine fever is different from the conventional swine flu. Swine influenza or swine flu is a respiratory disease of pigs which is caused by Type A influenza virus. This Type A influenza virus regularly causes outbreaks of influenza in pig populations. According to the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention, while the swine flu causing virus leads to a high number of infection in pig herds, the disease is not as fatal as African swine fever and causes fewer deaths. Specific swine influenza vaccines are available for pigs against swine flu. Swine flu viruses are spread among pigs through close contact and through contaminated objects between infected and uninfected pigs. Symptoms for swine flu include fever, depression, coughing, discharge from nose and eyes, iridiness and inflammation. Swine flu viruses don't typically infect humans, but few cases have been reported when humans have direct contact with infected pigs. When humans are infected with swine flu viruses, the symptoms are similar to human seasonal influenza which include fever, lethargy, lack of appetite and coughing. So basically the difference between African swine fever and swine flu is that African swine fever is caused by African swine fever virus, while swine flu is caused by Type A influenza virus. While African swine fever is highly deadly with the mortality rate of 100%, they are less infectious. But in case of swine flu, while the disease is less deadly, they are more infectious. That is, they spread more easily. And the third difference is African swine fever does not infect humans, but in case of swine flu, there is possibility of human infection. And finally, there is no vaccination available till now for African swine fever, while in case of swine flu, protective vaccinations are available. That's all regarding this discussion. In this discussion, we saw the basics about African swine fever and we also saw the difference between African swine fever and swine flu or swine influenza. With this, let us conclude this discussion and take up the next news article. Look at this news article. This news article talks about quantum computers. Currently, our online activity is protected by cryptographic keys. With the growth of quantum computers, the rising concerns is that this cryptographic key is that protectors would be easily cracked. So new cryptographic technology that could not be cracked by quantum computers is a need of the hover. So the article mentions about a new cryptographic technology called the crystals kyber, which cannot be cracked by the quantum computers. In this context, let us learn about what is quantum computing, how it is different from normal computers, and then we will discuss about the national mission on quantum technology and applications in brief. See quantum computing is the latest innovation in computers that is centered around the principle of quantum theory. What is this quantum theory? See quantum theory explains the nature and behavior of energy and matter on the quantum level, that is atomic and subatomic level. Now coming back to quantum computing. In the earlier days, we had mechanical computers. There is a movie called the imitation game. The movie is based on the life of Alan Turing and how he built the famous Turing machine and cracked the German Enigma code. So in this movie, he literally built a mechanical computer. After mechanical computers, we had vacuum tubes. And finally, in the current phase, we have transistor based computers. The next step in this evolution is quantum computing. Quantum computing uses a combination of bits to perform specific computational tasks. See all these are at a much higher efficiency than their classical counterparts. The quantum computer gains much of its processing power through the ability for bits to begin multiple states at one time. They can perform tasks using combinations of once, zeros and both one and zero simultaneously. For example, quantum computing excels at simulation, communication networks, big data, etc. Just have a look at this image to know more examples and applications about quantum computing. Now a question arises, why do we need quantum computers? See the standard computers or the conventional computers can do what they are told well enough. They can fit the right computer program by the human. But when it comes to predicting things, they are not so smart. This is why the weather forecast is not always accurate. In case of weather forecast, there are too many variables, too many things changing too quickly for the conventional computer to keep up. Because of their limitations, there are some computations which an ordinary computer may never be able to solve or it may take literally a billion years to solve. But a quantum computer is so fast that it could respond to changing information quickly. Then they can also examine a limitless number of outcomes and permutations simultaneously. An additional advantage of quantum computers is that quantum computers are relatively small because they do not rely on transistors like traditional machines. In addition to this, they also consume comparatively less power than the traditional computers. Now look at this table to know about the differences between the quantum computers and the classical computers. Now I guess that you have a general idea about quantum computing. So now we will see about the national mission on quantum technologies and applications. See the government in its 2020 budget had announced a national mission on quantum technologies and applications. The government had announced a total budget outlay of Rs. 8000 crore for a period of 5 years. This is to be implemented by the Department of Science and Technology. Note that the area of focus of the mission will be in fundamental science, translation, technology development, human and infrastructure resources generation, innovation and startup to address issues concerning national priorities. Quantum principles will be used for engineering solutions to extremely complex problems in computing, communication, sensing, chemistry, cryptography, imaging and mechanics. See the implementation of the mission would help develop and bring quantum computers and secured communications. This is through fiber and free space quantum encryption and crypt analysis and associated technologies within reach in the country. This will also help address India specific national and regional issues. So a solid research base and workforce founded on significant and reliable government support can lead to the creation of innovative applications by industries. This will stimulate economic growth and job creation which will feedback into a growing quantum-based economy. The government's financial and organizational support will also ensure both public and private sectors will benefit. That's all regarding this discussion now let us conclude this discussion and take up the next news article. Take a look at this article. See this article talks about the impacts of Euro dollar parity. See recently the Euro and the US dollar reached parity meaning one dollar could buy one Euro in the foreign exchange market. Here you must note that for the past two decades it took more than one US dollar to purchase one Euro. A year ago it took about 1.2 US dollars to buy one Euro but since the beginning of the year the Euro has lost about 12 percent against the US dollar and it is expected to lose even more value in the future. So this is the background of the article given here. In this context let us quickly go through some of the important points mentioned in the news article. Firstly we will start with what determines a currency's exchange rate. See the price of any currency in a market economy is determined by supply and demand. Here the supply of a country's currency in the foreign exchange market is determined by various factors like central bank policy and the local demand for imports and foreign assets. While the demand for a country's currency is determined by factors such as central bank policy and the foreign demand for exports and domestic assets. Now talking about why the Euro has fallen against the US dollar the article mentions two important reasons. Firstly the analysts believe that the divergence in the monetary policies of the US Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank is the primary reason behind Euro's significant depreciation against the US dollar. See what happened is in response to the economic crisis caused by the lockdowns imposed due to the corona pandemic both the US Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank expanded their balance sheets to boost spending. But soon this led to inflation that is it led to sharp price in prices. See yesterday itself in our discussion we saw why inflation is very bad. So due to this cheap money policy followed by US Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank the inflation in both the United States and Europe started raising. For example inflation in the United States hit a 4 decade high of 9.1% in June while inflation in Eurozone reached its highest ever level of 8.6% during the same month. So just to fix the issue and slow down the US money supply growth the US Federal Reserve responded to the raising prices by raising the interest rate this year. But even though the inflation rate is as high as 22% in some European countries the European Central Bank had much less aggressive monetary policy. So this has caused the value of Euro to slide against the dollar or in other words the supply of Euro in the market is raising relative to the supply of dollars. Here another important thing that you have to notice that the Euro is not the only currency that is depreciating at the moment. The Japanese yen is another major currency that has lost about 20% of its value against US dollar this year. This is happening because the Chinese Central Bank continues to stick to its easy monetary policy or cheap money policy. The second reason for the depreciation of Euro in relation to dollars is that due to the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the actions taken against Russia has created uncertainties in energy supply to Europe. This has also affected the value of Euro. So limited energy supplies means that Europe now has to spend more money to ensure its energy supply needs. And this again has adversely affected the value of Euro against the US dollar. So these are the two reasons that has led to depreciation of Euro in relation to the US dollar. The article also says what will be the next step in this process. See as the US Federal Reserve continues to raise interest rate it is likely to exert further downward pressure on the Euro. Also the European Central Bank might also be forced to raise interest rates to slow down money supply growth in the Eurozone in order to prop up the value of Euro. But this might not lead to a slowdown in growth in the Eurozone as all the 19 countries which uses the same currency have to readjust to tighter monetary policy. If that is the case European nations might even opt to enact tax and regulatory reforms to expedite recovery. That's all regarding this news article. Now let us conclude this discussion and take up the next news article. Look at this FAQ article. This news article talks about the bail law reforms that is to be made in India as soon as possible. First of all let us see what is mean bail bail. Then let us take the discussion in this flow like what is the present law for availing bail. What did the Supreme Court observe from the conviction rate in India and what are some of the legal guidelines given by the Supreme Court. And finally let us conclude with United Kingdom's Bail Act of 1976. Before starting our discussion the syllabus relevant to this article is given here for your reference. Just go through it. Now let us start our discussion. First of all let us see what is meant by bail. The concept of bail is a basic part of the Indian criminal jurisprudence and it is a well recognized principle among all the judicial systems of the world. Bail in law means securing of release from prison of a person who is awaiting trial or an appeal. This is by the deposit of security. This is to ensure his or her submission at the required time to the legal authority. The security may be cash or papers giving title to property. The bail bond is set by the court having jurisdiction over the prisoner. Understand this the bail bond is nothing but a written document by the person in question to the court ensuring that he or she will ensure his or her presence for investigation. The bail bond also has the penalty when the terms of the bail condition is breached that is if the person released on bail fails to surrender at the appointed time it results in forfeiture or giving up of the security. Note that in the case of offence that are classified as bailable the matter of bail is a right. So in the case of bailable offence the courts have to mandatory give bail but in the case of non bailable offence the bail is not a right. So the courts have greater discretion to grant or deny bail to the person. Now let us see what is the present law regarding bail in India. In India bail is governed by the provisions of the CRPC that is the criminal procedure code 1973. Offences are categorized as bailable and non bailable offences. Under section 436 of the CRPC bail is a right in bailable offences and the police or the courts are bound to release the accused following the furnishing of a bail bond with or without surety. For example, bribery, public nuisance all these comes under bailable offences. Then for a non bailable offence an accused cannot bail as a right. The discretion here lies with the courts. Section 437 of the CRPC sets out the circumstances in which courts can give bail for non bailable offences. See, provisions mandates the court to consider granting bail to an accused below 16 years or someone who is sick or a woman. For example, murder comes under non bailable offences category. This is about the present conditions regarding bail in India. Now let us see the observation made by the Supreme Court. See on July 11th the Supreme Court urged the center to bring a new law. This is to simplify and streamline the process of bail and the Supreme Court has referred to the bail act of the United Kingdom for this matter. The observation made by the Supreme Court is that there is low conviction rate in India. See, a conviction rate is a number usually presented as a percentage that indicates how frequently arrest in a given community lead to actual criminal charges. Now, if you look at the data made by the National Crime Records Bureau, the conviction rate of states or unit territories relating to cognizable crime under Indian Penal Code and the special and local law crimes during 2018, 2019 and 2020 is 66.6, 66.4 and 73.4 respectively. Since these rates are low, the Supreme Court felt that there is a pressing need to reform bail laws. The reason that they cited for such an observation is such detention reflects a colonial mindset and create the impression of a police state. Here, the Supreme Court feels so because the unwarranted arrest carried out under section 41 of the CRPC empowers police to arrest without a warrant and under section 41A of the CRPC, which deals with the procedure for appearance before police. This is the observation made by the Supreme Court. Now finally, let us see some of the guidelines given by the court. Firstly, the Supreme Court stresses the need to empower due procedure for arrest. Secondly, the Supreme Court stresses a time limit for disposal of bail please. See, the court said that the bail please have to be disposed of within two weeks except when provisions mandate otherwise. A plea for anticipatory bail has to be decided within six weeks. See, here, anticipatory bail is nothing but an interim bail. See, when any person has a reason to believe that there is a chance to get him or her arrested on false or trumped up charges due to enmity with someone, he can approach the court for an anticipatory bail. He or she has the right to move to the court of sessions or high court under section 438 of the CRPC. This is for grant of bail in the event of his or her arrest by the court if it thinks fit. This is about the time limit for disposal of bail please. Thirdly, the Supreme Court said that courts need not insist on a formal bail application in some stages such as proceedings under section 88, section 170, section 204 and section 209 of the CRPC. This means that the accused can be granted bail on court's own discretion in some situation. For instance, when a person is present in court and is required to appear again later, it can take a bond under section 88 instead of remanding in custody. Bail can also be granted when a person is produced before court by the police. This is under section 170. When the court's issue processes either a summon on a complaint or a warrant after the police files a charge sheet. This is according to section 204 and when case is committed by a magistrate for trial to a session's court. This is under section 209. Then, in addition to these three guidelines, the Supreme Court also said that the investigating agencies and the officers have to comply with section 41 and section 41A of the CRPC. The Supreme Court ruled that non-compliance with section 41 and 41A at the time of arrest will entitle the accused to bail. Here section 41 deals with arrest in a cognizable offense where punishment is imprisonment for a term which may be less than 7 years. And section 41A relates to the notice of appearance before a policeman in cases where the arrest is not required. Notably, a police officer is required to record sessions for arresting or not arresting the person. Then, the Supreme Court directed the state governments and the union entities to facilitate standing orders. These orders are for the procedure to be followed under section 41 and 41A. So as to avoid unwarranted arrest. The Supreme Court directed high courts to identify under-trails who are unable to comply with bail conditions and take actions to facilitate their release. So for ensuring all these, the Supreme Court ordered the center to consider introducing a bail act. And for this, the Supreme Court has given UK law on bail as a reference. See, in United Kingdom, the Bail Act of 1976 governs the procedure for granting or denying bail. It recognizes a general right to bail. It also aims to reduce the number of inmates or prevent clogging of jails. It says an accused should be granted bail unless there is a justified reason to refuse it. See, a bail can be rejected if the court finds substantial grounds for believing that the defendant will fail to surrender, commit an offense, or interfere with witnesses if released on bail. But whatever, it is the courts that has to give reason whether to withhold or alter bail conditions. So this United Kingdom's Bail Act of 1976 may be taken as a reference for reforming the bail laws in India. So that's all regarding this discussion. In this discussion, we saw about the present conditions for granting bail in India. Then we saw about the observation made by the Supreme Court regarding the conviction rate in India. Then we saw about the general guidelines given by the Supreme Court to prevent clogging of jails. And finally, we saw about the reference act, that is the Bail Act of 1976 of the United Kingdom, which is given as a reference by the Supreme Court to the states and unit territories to enact a better bail law. With this, let us conclude this discussion and move on to the practice problems questions. We have three practice problems questions today. Let us see them one by one. Let us take up the first question. It is a two statement question. Two statements are here. We have to find the incorrect statement. Let us take up the first statement. Quantum computing uses a combination of 1s and 0s only. See, this statement is incorrect because in our discussion, we saw that quantum computing uses a combination of 1s, 0s and a state, which can be 1 and 0 at the same time. So, there are three qubits in quantum computing. So, first statement is incorrect. Let us take up the second statement. National mission on quantum technologies and applications is implemented by Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology. See, this statement is also incorrect because in our discussion, we saw that national mission on quantum technologies and applications is implemented by Department of Science and Technology. Okay? So, in this question, they are asking for the incorrect statement. Since both the statements are incorrect, the correct answer here is option C, both 1 and 2. Let us take up the second question. Here also, two statements are given. We have to find the correct statements here. Let us take up the first statement. Nominal effective exchange rate, that is NEER, is an unadjusted weighted average rate at which one country's currency exchanges for a basket of multiple foreign currencies. See, this statement is correct. The nominal exchange rate is the amount of domestic currency needed to purchase foreign currency. And the nominal effective exchange rate, NEER, is an unadjusted weighted average rate at which one country's currency exchanges for a basket of multiple foreign currencies. So, statement one is correct. Let us take up the second statement. The real effective exchange rate is nominal effective exchange rate adjusted to purchasing power parity. See, this statement is also exactly correct. So, since both the statements are correct, the correct answer here is option C, both 1 and 2. Let us take up the last question. This question is in regards to African swine fever. See, this we saw in our discussion. So, take this as a quiz question and post your answers in the comment section. Having completed the practice problems questions, now let us take up the mains question. We have only one mains question today. Let me read it out. Do you feel that bail laws in India need reforms? Discuss. See, here the keyword is discuss. So, you must not just list out the reforms that is needed. You must analyze whether bail laws in India need reforms. That is, you must post the positives of the bail laws in India and the issues with the bail laws in India.  That is what the keyword discuss entitles. So, interested aspirants, write the answer for this question and post it in the comment section. With this, we have come to the end of the news analysis session.

You know one thing really surprised me when I started to get fit and I started to change my life and that one thing is very simple.   Now in this video I want to share a bit about my own personal experience with what happens to the world around you and the way people see you once you start hauling ass in life and improving things for the better. What's up guys I'm Alex Hine, author of the book Master of the Day.    I mean look at me this is me when I was 18 years old okay I was driving freaking cars and you know what's funny everyone assumed a few things about me that I was a nerd which wasn't really true that I played video games a lot that was definitely true that I wasn't a good athlete actually I said high jump and sprint record and they assumed I was just some scrawny dorky feminine little kid which wasn't really true but they were perceiving me and then making up a judgment in their mind about who they thought I was and now look at this this is the funny thing years later this is like 12 years later I'm 30 now look at the difference okay look at these two pictures and here's what people think about me now so they see these pictures this is me at an event recently last year and this is just a random fitness picture from one of the videos last year and now it's funny at 30 all I hear from people is the opposite they hear that you know they think the way they think is that this guy must be a huge douche he looks like an a-hole this guy must be like the high school jock he must have been in high school he must be a player most women don't trust me off the bat when we start dating or going on a date I have to prove that I'm trustworthy which is kind of funny now at this point but the funny thing is if you lived in my life only then could you see just how ironic this whole whatever you want to call it perception is I'm still the same nice guy I still read over a hundred books a year I still am the same dude largely just a lot externally has changed and so only if you'd lived inside my body could you understand this cosmic freaking irony the irony that people now sometimes perceive me as a humongous tool compared to the dorky little nerdy world of warcraft playing alex and yet I'm essentially the same person so what actually changed what changed why do people perceive me differently the irony you know when you start off and you're the fat kid or you're the skinny kid or you're the poor person always broke never has money everyone supports you right at the start everybody's like yeah I believe in you jimmy I believe in you katie go for it go back to school work that second job get in the gym they're all supportive because they're not in competition with you they're not intimidated by you and in this second you get a shred more success than they have not even major success just a shred more the second you start getting a little bit fit the second you start dating someone that's a high caliber that's a catch you you've got a quality catch woman a quality catch guy the second that happens those same people that were like yeah I believe in you you can do this like go after your dreams the second that happens they'll be the same people that'll start tearing you down they'll be the same people that say dude like what do you spend all your time in the gym or you look good the way you are now or like why are you working so hard you're gonna burn yourself out or that person must have issues right I mean she or he they must be messed up it's the same people that claim to have supported you once you have a one iota of success that will then be the ones that are trying to tear you down it's that whole philosophy of the tall poppy syndrome it's the tall poppy that gets its freaking headcat off and so just like me years ago starting with my blog people were like like hey alex how's your cute little blog you dork I just kind of shrug it be like yeah it's going well thanks for asking but in all seriousness I would just you know people weren't very friendly they were just like oh that's cute right that's cute three years later when I quit my job people were like oh so you can make money from a blog huh that's really interesting and then years later people are asking me for advice and so that's the natural progression things go when you start reinventing yourself you start changing your life people will always support you at the start and then once you become more than they are that starts triggering them and this is exactly why people begin to get triggered because you remind them that they quit on improving their life a long time ago they quit on their dream they quit on doing the things that would improve their life and the things that used to excite them as a kid or as an adult they gave up on because it was too hard or too scary or mommy said you couldn't or you got some self sabotage cycle and they believed it and they caved into that self-fulfilling prophecy and so that's exactly what you can predictably say will happen every time and the more you become successful the more people will hate you for nothing related to your character or to you but only because of the fact that people it is looking in the mirror and people hate looking in the mirror people despise looking in the mirror at their flaws and what's messed up and what their coward's about and what they're not going after look at how many people will hate you only because you are successful like they will treat you like you're the freaking head of Monsanto even if you're like a blueberry farmer or you're somebody that's written books that helps people's lives that's literally how you will be treated sometimes by your own friends and your own family and most of all they're going to hate you because you remind them that they took the easy route and not the route that would mostly lead them to fulfillment which is very often not the easy route it's often much harder now at this time you're at a critical junction in your life right you start to have a little bit of success or maybe it's the day you pick up a personal development book and it's at your house and your friends are like dude how to win friends and influence people you're such a dork or when your mom or your dad's like what is this corny relationship crap you're reading what is this what is this thinking girl rich bs that's on your desk there the moment that happens you have a trajectory change right you could either you could either just be like get that salty look like get angry right you yourself could get triggered like i'm trying to improve my life blah blah blah who are you or you could just kind of slyly smile to yourself and know that you're putting yourself on a better path for a year three years five years 10 years down the line that's what you can know to yourself and just keep it silent me right it's like that Napoleon Hill quote show the world what you intend to do but do it first because the reality is doing takes a long time it takes a lot longer than just saying you're going to improve your life and so when you've actually done it and when you've embodied it and when it's something like the proofs in the pudding you have the videos out you have the book you wrote you have the body that you dreamed of years ago then you'll be the envy of people people will hate you but you'll also be the envy and people will come to you for that advice and i think it's really important at that junction to always remember that you have to choose between the path of resentment which is where other people start hating you and you can hate them back or just remembering this path which is i know this is going to happen i saw it coming and i have to know that i'm on the right path because i don't want the life that this person has clearly because they're criticizing me for improving myself what kind of quality evolved person what successful person would criticize you for wanting to improve your life in my own life never once never once has someone more successful than me criticize me for working hard or the books i read or wanting to improve my life but always a person who's less successful than me and i mean that in the holistic sense fit happy healthy doing work they love gating an amazing person etc so consider that now this is obviously become a pretty big rant of a video but this is very important and it's something that happens to everyone and i want you to just keep that in mind in your own life because a lot of people cave under the pressure of mommy or daddy seeing that first personal development book and being like why are you reading this crap like come on american idols on over here and that is a scary thing so i hope that helps you guys your tiny daily habit for today is just to be aware that when you change your life a lot more people will hate you including sometimes your own friends in your family and you're gonna have to choose to still respond at an in an evolved way if you want to proceed further and not have that resentment build later so i hope that helps before you go i want you to leave a comment there below let me know for you what is something that another person has said in your close family or friends that has kind of held you back hey guys it's alex i hope you like this video the best way to stay in touch is the first come get that free

the credit card. Now the credit card has the same issues as the checking account in that you could have bank feeds related to it. We'll get it, we'll dive into bank feeds later. Other than that, it's, you know, the same, it's pretty straightforward to enter the beginning balance once we set it up. So I'm going to go to the tab to the left. I'm going to see if they have a credit card type of account. It should be a liability in the liability area. So it should be a credit card type. I don't see one. So I'm going to add one. So I'm going to say new.  And then we've got the current liabilities. I'm sorry. That's not, I want the credit cards. So notice they have assets and then they got bank broken out separately because bank has its special needs, even though it's an asset. And then they got, then they've got liabilities, but credit cards is broken out separate because it has its own special needs. Okay. So we'll go to the credit card, save under credit cards. And then I just called it, and then the tax category credit card. And then I called it visa. I think visa is the account name. So I'll just, I'll just stick with that. I won't put any further description. I'll hit the plus button as of and say we want other date. And we'll bring that back to December and put the balance. This should be a positive liability now. So 1000 is a bad thing, but it's going to be a positive number of credit to it. So it's going to increase with a credit and save it. Boom, should be set up. No problem. No problem. So there it is down here in the liabilities. So it's a credit card type of account credit card type. I go to the balance sheet and run it to refresh it. Give me something fresh here, people. I don't work with stale stuff. So there it is the visa. If I go into the visa, it entered that with a credit card expense, which makes sense because that's the type of form you would think to enter a credit card charge, open that up. And there's our expense form. The other side went to opening balance equity. Now we've got the same issue with the credit card possibly as with the bank accounts for the reconciliations, although the reconciliations for the credit cards are often easier because we might do those directly with the bank feeds more likely because it's quite common. Whereas the cash account, we might still have some issues with just entering our data with the bank feeds. We'll talk more about that later when we get to the bank reconciliation type of area. But the other side went to opening balance equity. Did it not? Right. Yeah, it did. Of course it did. Por su puesto.

For my father, intelligence was all that matters. Ever since my brother Charles was diagnosed to be a gifted child, all he talked about was IQ and intelligence research. A high IQ apparently strongly predicts good grades, a good career, and even health and mortality and stuff. His favorite story is Kim Young Young, a Korean with an official IQ of 210. Just six months old, he was already speaking fluent Korean, and at age three wrote essays in German and English. Then he would hug Charles and look at me with this question in his face. I hated that. I wondered if I could reach my little brother in anything. When I was young, me and my dad were best buddies. He never even cared much about IQ or G or whatever. When my brother started reading at just two years old, everything changed. Suddenly, I was forgotten, and soon after I was the slow one. Once when I got a C in math, he didn't even look at my paper and just told Charles that an ape is believed to have an IQ of 40. I hated his sarcasm. Once at dinner, when he started talking about intelligence or G, he'd say, G stands for general intelligence, and scientists say it exists because apparently most IQ tests correlate, whatever. He was talking about it and then drew up this graph on a piece of paper saying, look boy, this is the distribution of intelligence of all people in town. 0.1% of people will have an IQ of 55 or below, 2% have an IQ between 55 to 70, 14% between 70 and 85, 34% will score between 85 and the average, which is set at 100. Another 34 have an IQ between 100 and 115, and 14% between 115 to 130. Only 2% have an IQ higher than 130, and only 0.1% will have an IQ of a genius of 145 or above, like your little brother. I told him I'm not interested. I guess I shouldn't have. He exploded. Not interested? You know what this all means, boy. He turned the paper around and started all over. It means that if you take the 1,000 people, then one has some form of mental retardation, which means trouble living alone. 20 will have difficulty reading the map. 140 can perform simple tasks at work, but cannot qualify to become a soldier in the US Army. 340 probably finish high school, and another 340 will go to college. Maybe 140 can do a PhD and later work as surgeons. 20 are capable of producing a significant scientific work, and only one will make it into an Ivy League college, like MIT, where the average IQ is 145. Your little brother got an IQ higher than that. A few weeks later, it was career day at my school. Some people in suits showed up and told us about a new form of cognitive assessment we could be doing, which would help us find the right job. The technical term is the Wechler IQ score. When I heard the words IQ, I got completely sweaty hands. My heart started racing. This could be the moment of truth. Then one woman started speaking. She told us that we are now going to take a test, and just one week later, we all get the results with some specific ideas about our future career path. She said it takes only 90 minutes, and measures our intelligence in the following four areas. Perceptual reasoning, verbal comprehension, working memory, and processing speed. The assessment was voluntary, and my friend instantly stood up to leave the class, showing what he thought about this whole thing. My heart still racing, I was unsure what to do, and kept seated. Our teacher then handed out some questions. When she passed by my table, she simply said, you're gonna do fine here. I don't think she realized this, but I was so happy to hear her say that.  Maybe it's a day that I can actually show my dad who I really am. What shall I do?  I decided to stay. I turned the first page over, it read the following. Perceptual reasoning is the ability to think and reason with visual information. It is the ability to see what is being asked and to organize information in our heads through images. The first question was, when folded into a cube, which of the following corners would touch corner A? D, B, E, or C? I tried to fold the cube in my head, and yeah, it worked. It must be D. The second section was about working memory, our ability to keep several chunks of information in our mind simultaneously. One of the questions was, what is the next number in the series? 4, 12, 6, 9, 8, 6. There were four options. 6, 5, 10, or 12. The trick here was to put all the digits in my head and look for a pattern. 4, X, 6, X, 8, X, which means the next would be 10. The third section was verbal comprehension, which measures our ability to access vocabulary, express ourselves in a meaningful manner, and apply reasoning skills to information presented verbally. In the first question, it said, what is the difference between the words refuted and irrefutable? Do they have similar meanings, have contradicting meanings, or mean neither the same nor the opposite? They must have contradicting meanings. The fourth section was about processing speed, the pace at which we take in new information, and make sense of it in order to prepare a response. One of the questions asked was, what is the 12th letter of the alphabet? Is it T, L, R, or B? I realized I had to rule out all the options that didn't look right. Counting would have taken way too long. L is the right answer. I had completed all of the 50 questions in time, and I was very relieved. In the end, the woman said, a lot of research over the last century went into the IQ test we had just taken, and there is convincing evidence that our intelligence is mainly a product of our genes. There is an estimate of a heritability range from 50 to 90%. Although the environment also matters, she continued, especially negative influences during your childhood, like infectious disease, malnutrition, air pollution, or lead in the paint of your walls at home. These things can reduce your IQ forever. She explained that it's because during the prenatal period and early years of life, a child's brain consumes a huge part of the body's energy to grow, and if the body was under attack, it cannot support the brain's growth to its full potential. In other words, you were born with a pretty fixed IQ. Good parents and schools can keep the IQ at its genetically predefined level, and maybe increase it a bit. Negative influences, however, can surely reduce it a lot. I am just saying this, she closed, because if you are getting your results next week and you are not happy with your score or our recommendation, then know that there is little you can do about that. Even if you practice for years or continue school indefinitely, it's almost impossible to improve your score by more than 10 points. Just think about that before you open that envelope. You don't have to. When the envelope was handed to me a week later, I got excited to open it. I took a deep breath, but before I ripped the cover apart, I halted. Do I really want this? Why do I care so much? Do I really want to compete with my brother? And if so, what does this prove? There are so many aspects of my life that matter more than my measured intelligence. I'm probably no genius, but I know I did well. But more importantly, I know that I don't need to prove anything to anyone. I decided not to open the envelope, and I loved this new idea of myself. Free from these limitations, I felt like I had grown up. Now when I heard my father speak all proud about Charles, I just smiled. I realized that it's not that he loved him more. No, my brother just gave my dad the chance to get attention, to be someone. He's the dad of a genius, and not just another middle manager at the bank on Middle Street. A few years later, I dropped out of college and started my own company, and soon after fell in love with a wonderful woman and also started a family. My brother is now a professor at a famous university, but never found the right girl, and like many very smart people, suffers from depression. My dad doesn't care so much about IQ anymore. He's now a proud grandfather. They say it takes intelligence to know how to do things right, but wisdom to do the right thing. Leaving that envelope closed was the best decision of my life. Here are five questions from a real IQ test. You've got five seconds each. When you are done, post your answers in the comments. Good luck. One, a package of gift cards has a length of 8 centimeters, a width of 4 centimeters, and a volume of 64 centimeters cubed. What is the height of the box? Two, some bargles are chongos, and some chongos are munhatsons. Are some bargles definitely munhatsons? Yes or no? Three, Max needed to get seven new doors from the home improvement store for his house. His car could only hold two doors at once. How many times did Max have to visit the store? Two, four, seven, eight, or nine? Four, art is to wall as cup is to handle coffee, cupboard, rim, nail. Five, what is the missing number in the series? One, 16, 81, blank, 625, 1296. And donate. Just one dollar from many fans makes a big difference.


Hey everybody, welcome back to the channel today. I'm going to be hopping window managers. So I've been using DWM for about oh probably close to six months. I Think I started using DWM right about the time. I actually started you this YouTube channel And I'm ready for something new so a couple weeks ago a few of the other YouTube Linux youtubers went through and talked about a window manager called left WM I'm gonna try that out someday so I added it to my bookmarks to look at later and today That's what I'm going to do is look at left WM and see if I can get used to it enough To the point where I can make it my daily driver now I've been playing around with it now for a couple hours So I've made some changes and I'll talk about the things that I've done And I also give some earlier thoughts on it and then maybe in a couple weeks or a month or so I'll make another video on My experience with it and we'll see if I'm still you know sticking with it. So let's go ahead and jump in shall we All right, so left WM is on github here, and I just installed it via the AUR now You could go through and build this through the rust package manager Installer or whatever it is called cargo, but I went just went through and installed via that the AUR using EA and I've experienced some interesting things that aren't on the dock in the documentation So and I'll talk about those later, but for the most part it just installed it added it to the X sessions file Just fine. So it's in SDDM, which is like the display man or the login manager that I use So it booted right in and the first thing you'll know when you boot into it is you just get a black screen So it's very much like Xmonad in that way. I think it's like cutile in that way It doesn't have a bar or anything like that So you might be lost if you just install it and you know not know what you're doing So the default key bindings are super shift enter for a terminal Which you'll have to have a Lackardy install Otherwise it won't launch anything because left WM is written in rust and it promotes other rust programs So things like a Lackardy are set to default So I have a Lackardy installed and I'm actually trying Lackardy as my daily driver So if you hit super shift enter, you'll get a terminal and it's a Lackardy Now I've gone through and changed the key binding to that to super enter because I Don't really need feel the need to have three key presses to get to a terminal when I do it all the time It's just super enter. That's the way. I've also changed the close command now by default Super shift Q will close a window. I've changed that to super super Q By default super shift X closes Left WM. I've left that the same The only other one that I'm going to end up changing is D menu right now Super P brings up D menu and I've left that the same and I probably will keep that actually But I'm going to add one call for super D so that I can use Rofi now the documentation is actually Fairly good now like I said I experienced some weird issues with theming That I don't think that other people will face for whatever reason Left WM won't read the auto start file appropriately or won't it won't read the script for the theme appropriately I had to add it to the auto start file in dot config So I said I'll talk about that a little bit later for the most part the documentation is actually really what well done It does there is a full Wiki up here that you can click on and I will take you through all the things and commands that you can put into the configuration file with keybind commands and the workspaces and such To control them via whatever in the in the configuration file So actually let's go ahead and take a look at the configuration file. I think I have this on three Yeah, now I'll have to zoom in here Yeah, so control plus in alacrity is Zoom in which is something that is actually pretty good because control shift plus is usually the one that I use it's close enough now Really When you after you've installed that you're left with a dot config Slash left WM folder and that contains just a config dot toml file These are the ones are things that I've actually gone through and added So I'll talk about those things in a just a minute But the config dot toml file is really just your configuration for your keybinding So if we just vim into config dot toml, we'll all we'll see here is the declaration of the marquee the Work the names for the workspaces, which is just one through nine now the workspaces are Fairly interesting in that they're a little bit different than what you might be used to now like with DWM you have nine workspaces on monitor one nine workspaces on monitor two if you have a third monitor you have nine workspaces there in I Three you have a set number of workspaces, but you can have as many as you want But and you can assign those to different monitors now in BS PWM and Q tile and maybe X monad I'm not sure I haven't played around with X monad enough, but with X with with those Window managers you have nine workspaces total and where they are on your monitors depends on what Window has your focus so right now I'm on three if I were to change to six, which is my audacity and OBS Workspace it would actually change monitors Instead of just changing to that workspace because there's only one workspace number six it'll always assume that you want the mid the Workspace that you just press you know you use the key binding for as the main Workspace on your main monitor. So if I change to workspace one now Because so when I did that last key binding workspace six moved to monitor one workspace three moved to monitor two so my my Configure that tomo files actually over on monitor three, which you can't see right now But if I moved back to say like workspace, I don't know for That moves goes makes works plate. We're excuse me That makes workspace for them on the main screen, but leaves the second monitor as workspace three So it's a little Complicated and it takes a little bit getting used to now unlike q-tile, which is fairly easy to so it's in q-tile and Bspwm for that matter you can go through and move a window from one monitor to the other. There's a command Move to the other monitor and whatever it's called. I Don't see that with left wmi. There's a whole bunch of Key bind commands here that you can use You have the execute hard reload soft reload Close window move to last workspace move up move down move top move to tag move window up move windows down Next layout previous layout workspace next focus previous. I wonder if this might actually work. So if I want mod All right, what if I wanted to shift to the next workspace? Move move move So what I want it to do is move Yeah, I don't see that maybe it's up here a little bit So that's focus And these are all focused move to tag Move to move to last workspace See I don't see one that says move to next workspace or move to other workspace So there's a focus next workspace. Yeah, this one here. So That's a little bit different and something that is been a little weird really what I'm gonna end up having to do is go through and Kind of learn the muscle memory of saying say I want to move this browser window to workspace All right, so let's say I want I have workspace eight of active on my second monitor If I wanted to move this to workspace a I couldn't do like super shift arrow keys or super shift left Which is something that could do in DWM or i3 or any of those other ones that I'd have to go super shift eight So if I do super shift left it actually does nothing if I do super shift L It also does nothing But if I do super shift eight that moves it eight and like I could change to the eight workspace here on my main screen You now you can see up here. I'm on eight. So that's a little weird and something that I'm gonna have to learn now The rest of the Configuration file is just the basic keybinding. So it does it does mod return for Lackardy it does my queue for closed window soft reload as my shift are keybinding this kills left WM and then See here if you have S lock installed it has a S lock binding here and then he moved to last workspace is mod shift W So I wonder What my shift W actually does my shift W moves it to so much FW will actually move it to the other monitor So that's the that's the thing. I was looking for well It will kind of move it to the other monitor sometimes like if I shift my shift W now it actually does nothing That's really weird. I'm not exactly sure what that is for. Let's actually go see if That moved to me move to last workspace Let me look at that again. Let's see what that actually says about that I'm past it move to last works tastes the window that is currently focused and moves it to the workspace that was active before the current workspace Okay, I'm not sure why that would be useful I'm not sure they have something where I can move to a different monitor and maybe they have that and I just don't see it That's always possible So the rest of these are fairly just used for moving things back and forth and moving to different tags now They don't use the Vemkeys which is really bothering me because I'm so used to using shift HJKL or Mods HJKL, so I'm gonna have to go through and change those They use the arrow keys and a lot of keyboards actually that I have and use don't actually have the arrow keys Now the one that I'm using today does but some of them the 60% keyboards that I have just don't have arrow keys And I don't want to use a different layer or whatever So that it's gonna have to change now like I said the Rest of this configuration files is just the keybinding So we won't even need to go through all the rest of these because you can actually take a look at them Let's talk a minute about themes and this is where I'm going to be talking a little about the problems that I was Having this morning when I first installed this so by default you can go through and install several themes now If you don't install the community themes, you're you're you're giving three Themes by default and you have to download these explicitly And if especially if you download them from the if you download left WM, but from the a you are you'll have to go to this GitHub page and download Left WM and then get the themes folder out of there and transfer it to your left WM config folder But you're given three themes by default you're giving lemon bar poly bar and XMO bar now I don't have XMO bar installed and I didn't care for lemon bar because I was too stupid to figure it out So I chose poly bar because I understand poly bar, and I've used poly for bar many times before now when you download these You're giving you need to create a Themes folder within your dot config slash left WM folder So I'm going to CD into the themes folder here and just do analysis now I've removed the lemon bar and the the XMO bar ones because I don't need those so I just kept them the basic poly bar and then what you need to do is do create a link between the Basic poly bar and the current folder now I don't know if it creates the current folder by default. You may have to create that I don't remember if I did or not, but you just do an LN dash s and then you can do this Command here, and then what's that supposed to do is when you hit reef You know re when you reload Left WM it's supposed to start up the steam as you see it here You get the poly bar and you get some you know a different colored border because by default the border color is red And you don't have a wallpaper with this thing you get a wallpaper You get colored borders and you get the poly bar, but it didn't work for me I didn't know why it was wasn't working for me Supposedly like I said when you hit reload or when you log out and log back in it's supposed to start that up But it doesn't now the way this works Is if we CD into the current folder and we do an LS here now each of these full themes have an up and a down script so What I found was that for whatever reason that up script was not going through and being executed at startup And I don't know why now. I'm sure it was something that I did wrong, but I couldn't get it to just work I thought it and I thought it would But it didn't so I ended up having to go through and execute it via an auto start file So but by default left WM will start up everything that's in your auto start file So let me show you that so if you CD into dot-config auto start and you do an LS You'll probably find several things that in a traditional desktop environment will start up at startup so I Usually have dropbox and for whatever reason Skype decides it has to restart or start up every time the computer starts up What I ended up having to do is create this up dot desktop file So if I've been meant to up dot desktop, this is what I ended up having to do I had to create an up script and exact that up script that was from the themes folder and Then add that make sure it wasn't gonna start in a terminal Tell it was an application type and then tell it not to notify me when it started So that actually got went through and worked and that left me with the setup you see here now if we CD back into dot-config left WM and themes and then CD into basic poly bar and do an LS you'll see basically This is the same stuff that was in current because we've went through and linked that to get the link those together If we've been into the poly bar config This is just a traditional poly bar config. It Has the main bar here and it's named it bar zero The only thing that seems to be a little bit different now it actually goes through and will Defines a whole bunch of different bars, but they're all basically the same because it went the Theme dot Toml here if we do them into theme dot Toml But it was that's not the right one Which one I was looking for Actually, I think it's gonna be that the up so we've been into the up script here We'll actually see somewhere around here. It will actually go through and yeah right here at the end It will actually try to figure out how many bars you have or how many monitors you have and that will create that many bars Within the poly bar Configuration folder that's really really nice now Because you're using this up for script. You don't have a launch.sh like you would have in other You know situations where you use poly bar and That's kind of cool because I mean we don't have to actually go through and you know deal with a launch to sh Which is always a little weird Especially when you write yourself I've always just kind of stolen the Arco Linux launch.sh file because it works Every time I try to to write the launch.sh folder I always mess up and have it the poly bar just show up on one of my monitors I'm never very good at doing that kind of stuff. So one of the other stuff in this Upscript this is basically your auto start.sh File you can go through and put in here whatever you want to start whenever you restart the window manager So if you want something like nitrogen to restore your wallpaper, you could go through and do that right now This has Feth doing that you can also it also goes through up here at the top and Starts Compton or Pycom so that it goes through and makes your poly bar Transparent a little bit now it does not go through and tell it tell Pycom What configuration Pycom configuration file to use so you can go through and change that if you wanted to use your default Pycom config which I probably will end up doing because I have all of my terminals and stuff Opaque or whatever so I'll go through and tell it to use my Pycom configuration file instead of whatever default it's trying to pull from so that's basically how themes work now there are communities themes and You can find those Here and you can download these now. There's several ones that you could try Now we could go through and actually try one of these, but I'm not sure how it would work But so actually I think I probably won't because I don't want to interrupt my OBS thing by hitting the refresh button I did that once and I don't want to do that again, but there's several of them here that you can try I'm not actually tried any any of these other than the PolyBare ones because I'm not actually sure if This will go through and like do it PolyBare or not. I'm not sure what bar the the Yeah, it uses the Dracula one uses PolyBare as well This it has screenshots of these so we can actually take a look at these now I'm not sure what I say like that one there looks like it has a menu of some kind, which is kind of cool but anyways basically Left WM has this whole theming system or whatever that allows you to Change your colors change your bar or whatever all in a single file and then all of your other stuff that has to do with the Configuration of your window manager like your key bindings and stuff is all done outside of that folder So that you can go through and change your thing however you want without altering your other files It's an interesting concept. I'm not sure if I'm going to like it or not I'm not sure if I'm gonna like only having nine when Workspaces I'm so used to having nine on one monitor nine on the other monitor and having all those things available to me all at the same time I don't know if I'm gonna be happy with just nine. I also don't see a way to make it so that Like in BS PWM, which also has just nine when Workspaces you can define using BS PC which Workspaces appear on which monitor I don't see that capability here, which is gonna drive me bonkers. I'd much rather have So it's kind of a combination of BS PWM which only has the nine workspaces and Q tile which Has nine workspaces and you have to share them between the monitors You can't in Q tile from what I remember at least you can't go through and say hey I want monitor one to have workspace one through five and Works a monitor two to have six through ten You can't do that Like you can like you said like you can in BS PWM and you can do that in I3 obviously in DWM each work each desk or each monitor has Nine workspaces whether you like it or not and that's I'm I'm pretty sure that's the same way with like awesome or awesome And X monad but like I said I haven't played with either of those enough to know for sure now Just in conclusion I'm gonna try this out for a few days at least. I'm gonna try to make it my own. I'm gonna go through and make all the Window I'm gonna go through and make all the key bindings and stuff Work for me. I'm gonna go through and try to figure out some more of the Default key bindings that are actually in there and see if there are all the ones that I haven't explored yet to kind of fix them the Really weird things that I had I found so far like not being able to move to certain monitors And I'm gonna get involved in the community because I'm gonna go through and see if I can talk to Like the devs or something and see if there are things that I'm missing because I don't see any of the stuff for monitor specific stuff And I kind of want to know if that's in there, and it's I'm just not seeing it. So like I said, I'm gonna probably make a Video again in a couple weeks maybe a month or so and we'll see how I'm at, you know still using this or If I'm I've gone back to DWM with my tail between my legs It's entirely possible that I go back to DWM today I'm gonna try I'm gonna try to use left WM full-time for a couple days But my willpower has never been all that great or well Let me free phrase that my patience for nonsense has never been all that great So if I come up across this come across a show stopping thing that I hate in left WM I'll be going right back to DWM So thanks for watching make sure you follow us on Twitter at the Linuxcast Support us on patreon at patreon.com slash Linux cast I would like to take a moment to thank our current patrons Devon Marcus American camp. Thanks for your support Thanks everybody for watching again, and I'll see you next time


Why don't I spend just a couple minutes talking about what we mean by digital enactment, turning data into models and models into action. And then we'll jump directly into, I'll introduce the panelists after that, and we'll jump directly into the questions. So Wikibon SiliconANGLE has been on a mission for quite some time now to really understand what is the nature of digital transformation or digital disruption. And historically when we've talked about digital, people talk about a variety of different characteristics of it. So we'll talk about new types of channels and activity on the web and any number of other things. But to really make sense of this, we kind of felt that we had to go to a set of basic principles and utilize those basic principles to build our observations up. So what we started with is a simple observation that if it's not digital, if it's not data, it ain't digital. By that we mean fundamentally the idea of digital business is how are we going to use data as an asset to differentially drive our business forward. And if we borrowed from Drucker, Drucker used to like to talk about the idea that business exists to create sustained customers. And so we would say that digital business is about applying data assets to differentially create sustained customers. Now to do that successfully, we have to be able to, as businesses, be able to establish a set of strategic business capabilities that will allow us to differentially use data assets. And we think that there are a couple of core strategic business capabilities required. One is human beings and most businesses operate in the analog world. So it's how do we take that analog data and turn it into digital data that we can then process. So that's the first one, that notion of IOT as a transducer of information so that we can generate these very rich data streams. Secondly, we have to be able to do something with those data streams and that's the basis of big data. So we utilize big data to create models, to create insights, and increasingly through a more declarative style, actually create new types of software systems that will be crucial to driving the business forward. That's a second capability. The third capability is one that we're still coming to understand and that is we have to take the output of those models, the output of those insights, and then turn them back into some event that has a consequential moment in the real world or what we call systems of an action. And so the three core business capabilities that have to be built are this capture data through IOT, big data to process it, systems of an action, also through IOT through actuators to actually then have a consequential action in the real world. So that's the basis of what we're talking about. We're going to take Fabio's vision that he just laid out and then we're in this panel going to talk about some of the business capabilities necessary to make that happen. And then after this, David Foyer will lead a panel on specifically some of the lower-level technologies that are going to make it work. Make sense, guys? Okay. So let me introduce the panelists. Over down there on the end, Ted Connell. Ted is from Intel. I don't know if we can get the slide up that has their names and their titles. Ted, why don't you very quickly introduce yourself? Yeah. Thank you very much. I run Solution Architecture for the Manufacturing and Industrial Vertical where we put together end-to-end ecosystem solutions that solve our clients' business problems. So we're not selling silicon or semiconductors. We're solving our clients' problems, which, as Fabio said, requires ecosystem solutions of software, systems integrators, and other partners to come together to put together end-to-end solutions. Excellent. Next to Ted is Steve Madden of Equinix. Hello. Yeah. Steve Madden. Equinix is the largest global interconnection company, and a lot of the ecosystems that you will be hearing about come together inside our locations. And one of the things I do in there is work with our big customers on industry vertical level solutions, IIT being one of them. Fu Huang from DataTorrent. Hi. My name is Fu Huang. I'm co-founder and chief strategy of a company called DataTorrent. And DataTorrent, our mission is really to build out solutions to allow enterprises to process big data in a streaming fashion. So that whole theme around ingestion, transformation, analytics, and taking action in sub-second on massive data is what we're focusing on. And you're familiar with Fabio. Fabio, take a second to... Yes. Thank you. I am leading a company that is trying to manifest the vision I highlighted here, building a platform. Not so much the applications. We are hosting the applications, the intelligence, the data management, and so forth. And trying to apply it to the industrial vertical first, big enough to keep us busy for quite a while. So in case you didn't notice, we have an interesting panel. We have use case, application, technology, infrastructure, and platform. So what we'll try to do is over the next, say, 10 minutes or so, we're going to spend a little bit of time, again, talking about some of these business capabilities. So let me start off by asking each of you a question. And I will take... If anybody has... It's really burning to ask a question, raise your hand, I'll do my best to see you. And I'll share the microphone for just long enough for you to ask. Okay. So first question, digital business is data. That means we have to think about data differently. Ted at Intel, what is Intel doing when they think about data as an asset? So Intel has been working on what is now being called Fog and Big Data Analytics for over a generation. The modern Xeon server we're selling, the wire in the electronics, if you will, is 10 silicon atoms wide. So to control that process, we've had to do what is called Industry 4.0 20 years ago. Our production equipment has been connected for 20 years. We're running... One of our factories will produce a petabyte of data a day, and we're running Big Data Analytics including machine learning on the stuff currently. If you look at an Intel factory, we have 2,000 thick clients on the factory floor supported by 600 servers in our data center at the factory just to control the process and run predictive yield analytics. So that's your itch? Our competitive advantage at Intel is the factory. We are a manufacturer, we're a world class manufacturer. Our front end factories have zero people in it. Not that we don't like people, but we had to fully automate the factory because as I speak, tens of thousands of water molecules are leaving my mouth, and if one of those water molecules lands on the silicon, it ain't going to work. So we had to get people physically out of the factory. And so we were forced by Moore's law and the product we build to build out what became Fog when they came up with the term seven years ago. We just came to that conclusion because of cost, latency, and security. It made sense to look, you got data, you got compute. There's a network between. It doesn't matter where you do the compute. Bring the compute to the data or the data to the compute. You're doing a compute function. It doesn't matter where you do it. So Fog is not complicated. It's just a distributed data center. So when we think about some of the technologies necessary to make this work, it's not just batch. We're going to be doing a lot of stuff in real time continuously. So Fog, talk a little bit about the system software, the infrastructure software that has to be put in place to ensure that this works well. I think that's great. You know, a little bit about our background. The company was founded by a bunch of ex-yahoo's that have been at yahoo for, you know, 12, 15 years from the early days. So we sort of grew up in that period where we had to learn about big data, learn about making all the mistakes of big data. And really seeing that nowadays it's not good enough to get insight. You have to get insight in a timely fashion enough to actually do something about it. And for a lot of enterprise, especially with human beings carrying around mobile phones and moving around all over the place and sensors sending thousands if not millions of events per second. The need for the business to understand what's going on and have insight and react sub-second is crucial. And what that means is the stuff that used to be batch offline, you know, can kind of kind of go down now has to be continuous, 24 by 7. You can't lose data. You've got to be a recover and come back to where you were as if nothing has happened with no human intervention. There's a lot of theme around no human intervention because this stuff is so fast, you can't involve human beings in it. Then you're not reacting fast enough. Can I real quickly add one thing? We think of data at Intel in half-life terms. The data has valuable right now. If you wait a second, literally a second, the data has a little bit of value. You wait two seconds. It's historical data.  If you want to do anything with your data, you've got to do it now. Ultimately, we need to develop experience, create experience about what we're doing, and the stuff that we're doing in applications will eventually find itself into platforms. So, Flavia, talk to us a little bit about the types of things that are going to end up in the platform to ensure that these use cases are made available to certainly businesses that perhaps aren't as sophisticated as Intel. Yes. In many ways, we are learning from what is going on in the cloud and has to come through this continuum all the way into the machines. This break between what's going on inside the machine and all the 1980 microprocessor and the server and the cloud server with the virtualization on the other side cannot leave. So, it has to be a continuum of computing so you can move the same function, the same container all the way through. First, second, you really have to take the real time very, very seriously, particularly at the edge, but even in the back. So that when you have this end-to-end continuum, you can decide where you do what. And I think that one of the models that was in that picture with the concentric circle is really telling what. We need to learn first, bring the data back and learn, and that can take time. But then you can have models that are lightweight that can be brought down to the front and impact the reaction to the data there. And we heard from a car company, a big car company, how powerful this was when they learned that the angle of a screwdriver and a few other parameters can determine the success of screwing something into a body of a car that could go well or could go very, very badly and be very costly. So all the learning, massive data can come down to a simple model that can save a lot of money and improve efficiency. But that has to be hosted along this continuum. So from the continuum it means we still have to have machines somewhere to do something. So Steve- Touching the ground, touching the physical world requires machines, actuators. So Steve, what is Equinix doing to simplify the thinking through of some of these infrastructure issues? Yeah, I mean the biggest thing that people find when they start looking at millions of devices, millions of data capture points, transferring all this data, real time and streaming it, is one thing hasn't changed and that's physics. So where those things are, where they need to go, where the data needs to move to and how fast starts with having to figure out your own topology of how are you moving that data. As much as it's easy to say we're just going to buy a platform and choose a device and we'll link them together, there's still a lot of other things that need to be solved. Physics being the first one, the second one primarily is volumes. So how much bandwidth and throughput are you going to require? How much of that data are you going to backhaul to your centralized data center before you send it up to a cloud? How much of it are you going to leave at the edge? Where do you place that? Sometimes it's a bigger deal and the third one is pretty much every industry has to deal with regulations. Regulations control what you can and can't do in terms of IT delivery, where you can place stuff, where you can not place stuff, data that can leave the country, data that can't. So all these things mean that you need to have a thought through process of where you're placing certain functions and what you're defining as your edge between the digital and physical world and Equinex is an interconnection company that's sitting there as a neutral party across all the networks, all the clouds, all the enterprises, all the providers to help people figure that out. So before I ask the audience a question, now that I'm down here so I can see you, so be prepared. I'm going to ask some of you a question. When you think about the strategic business capabilities necessary to succeed, what is the first thing that the business has to do? So why don't just take Ted and just go right on down the line. Yeah, so I think this is really, really important. I work with many, many clients around the world who are doing five, ten, fifteen POCs, pilots and the Internet of Things and they haven't thought through a codified strategy. So they're doing five things that will never fit together, that you will never scale and the learnings you're using you really can't do that much with. So coming up with what is my architecture? What is my stack going to look like? How am I going to push data? What is my data, you know, because when you connect to these things, I can't tell you how much data you're going to get. You're going to be overwhelmed by the data and that's why we all go to the edge. And I got to process data real time. And oh, by the way, if I only have one source of data like I'm connecting to production equipment, you're not going to learn anything. 98% of data is useless. You've got to contextualize the data with either an inspection step or some kind of contextualization that tells you if this then that. You need that then that. Without that, your data is basically worthless. So now you're pooling multiple sources of data together in real time to make an understanding. And so understanding what that architecture looks like, spend the time up front. Look, most of us are engineers. You know, 5% additional work up front saves you 95% on the back end. That's true here. So think through the architecture, talk to some of us who have been working in this area for a long time and we'll share our architecture. We have reference architecture that we're working with companies. How do you go from industry 2.0 or industry 3.0 to industry 4.0? And there is a logical path to do it. But ultimately, where we're going to end up is a software-defined universe. I mean, what's a cloud? It's a software-defined data center. Now we're doing software-defined networks, software-defined storages. Ultimately, we're going to be doing software-defined systems because it's cheaper. You get better capital utilization, better asset utilization. So we will go there. So what does that mean for your infrastructure? And what are you going to do for an architecture perspective? Then take all of your POCs and pilots and force them to do that, specifically around security. People are doing POCs with security that they don't even have any protocols. They're violating all their industry standards doing POCs. And that's going to get thrown out. It's wasted time, wasted effort. Don't do it. Steve, a couple of sentences. Yeah. Essentially, it's not going to be any prizes for me saying think into connection first. A lot of our customers, if we look at what they've done with us, everyone from GE to real-time facial recognition at the edge, it all comes down to how are you wired, topology-wise, first. You can't use the internet for risk reasons. You can't necessarily pay for multiple MPLS, bandwidth costs, et cetera. So low latency, 80% low latency, seven times the bandwidth at half the cost is a scalable infrastructure to move data around the planet. And if you don't have that, the rest of the stuff starts to break down. Who? And I would say that analytics is hard. Analytics in real-time is even harder. And I think with us talking to our customers, I feel for them. They're confused. There's like a million solutions out there. Everybody's trying to claim to do the same thing. I think it's both sides. Consumers have to get more educated. They've got to be more intelligent about their POCs. But as an industry, we also have to get better at thinking about how do we help our customers succeed?  We got to think about software tools and enterprise tools to really help the customer be able to think about their total cost of ownership and time to value to handle this thing, because it's not easy. We are facing an interesting situation where the customers are ready. The needs are there. The market is going to be huge. But the plot, the solution is not trivial. It is maturing. And we are all trying to understand how to do it. And this is the confusion that you see in many of these half-baked solutions, the security and everything is coming together. And you have to go up the stack and down the stack with full confidence. Not easy. So we all have to really work together, give ourselves time, be feeling that we are in a pre-competitive world, preparing for addressing together a huge market, and trying to mature these solutions that then will be replicated more and more. But we have to be patient with each other and with the technologies that are maturing and they are not fully there and understood. But the market is amazing. So we have a Twitter question. I was being live-streamed but the audience is really engaged online as well, digital. So we have a question from Twitter from Lauren Cooney saying, would like to know what industries will be most impacted with digitization of the next five years? Which one won't be? Yeah. Exactly. All of them. I mean, we have seen, you know, the business model is the data.  I mean, it is the new oil. I don't know of anything unless you are doing something that is just physical therapy. But that even data. You could do data on that. Yeah. Everything. Yeah. I don't know of anything that won't be. I think the real question is how is it going to move through industries? Yeah. Obviously it is going to start with some of the digital native. It is already deep into that. Deep into media. We are moving through the media right now. Intel is clearly a digital company and you have been working on this path for quite some time. Let me give you a stat. Intel has 105,000 people and 144,000 servers. So we are about 1.5 server to people. That is what kind of computation we are doing. We can help you work on that. But you are right though, networking started by scaling out the internet, then content delivery and media, you know, hard media, et cetera is gone. Financial services and trading exchanges pretty much show what digital markets are going to be in the future. Clouds showed up and now I think he is right. It is affecting every industry, manufacturing, industrial health and professional services are the top three right now. But people who show up to ask for help from every industry and every country for that matter. Our customers are, you know, the top players in almost every vertical.  But as you start to talk about the capability, everybody thinks, wait, you are solving my problem. Leaders are followers. What business would say, hey, I don't want to know what is going on with my business and I don't want to take any action. Add to that that it is an ecosystem of ecosystems. No one by themselves is going to solve anything. They have to partner and connect with other people to solve the solution. So I will close the panel by making these kind of summary comments. The business capabilities that we think are going to be most important are first off, when we talk about the internet of things, we like to talk about the internet of things in people, that the people equation doesn't go away. So we are building on mobile, we are building on other things. But if there is a strategic capability that is going to be required, it is going to be how is this going to impact folks who actually create value in the business. The second one I will turn around is that IT organizations have gone through a number of different range wars, if you will, over the past 20 years. I have lived through IT versus telecom, for example. The IT-OT conflict, or potential conflict, is not trivial. There is going to be some serious work that has to be done. So I would add to the conversation that we have heard this far, the answers that we have heard this far, is the degree to which people are going to be essential to making this work and how we diffuse this knowledge into our employees and into our IT and professional communities is going to be crucial, especially with developers. Because Flavio, if we are right now trying to figure stuff out, it really matures when we think about the developer world. So I want to close the first panel and get ready for the second panel. So thank you very much, and thank you very much to our panelists. And if we could bring David Foyer and the second panel up, we will get going on panel two. Oh, we are going to get together for a picture.


Hi everyone, Joe for Jaspy's casebreaks.com coming at you with another Big Hit Express break. We just dropped this today. Big Hit Express series four is here, a multi-sport product, a lot of great stuff that you can chase here. So thanks everyone for getting in. I think we have breaks four through 15 filled up. So we're just gonna be going back to back to back to back until the end of our night. Big thanks to these folks for getting into the action right here on break number four. There are the teams right there. There are the remaining cases. Let's roll it, let's randomize it. 11 times five and a six for each list and 11 the final time. Brian Peoples down to Jeff Peace after 11. 11 times for the combo teams and 11 the final time. Got the Hawks spot down to the wizard spot after 11 and remember this is only break number four but as we start getting to break 20, you know, 25, obviously it's a limited release, right? There's only so many hits in each case. So at some point these teams are gonna start running out of hits. So just keep that in mind as you're buying into later ones that some teams may just not be, may not be represented in later cases. It's only a finite amount of stuff, only 30 cases. All right, so there's everyone right there and there's the second half of the list right here. Let's alphabetize this list by column A just so you can easily spot your name and what you have. Matt, by the way, has that Timberwolves spot up for trade. All right, there you go. Now let's go 11 times on the list of boxes. 10 and 11 then final time. After 11 times, box on top is gonna be box nine. All right, so I'm gonna go grab box number nine. I'm also gonna pause the video and allow people to kind of digest their teams and see if they want to trade or not and then we'll go from there, I'll be right back. And we're back. All right, so no trades. So that's the official printout right here. There's case nine. Let's tamper with this. Good luck everybody. Eastwood, Eastwood is tempted to buy a case for himself but he's worried that the person that wins the spot from the previous break or hit list promo will be the one getting the monster hit and he won't. I mean, that would be pretty tough. All right, here it is. Break number four ladies and gentlemen, thanks for getting into the action. So far we still have at least half the print run but there's still left. So get into the action before it's all gone. All right, we're gonna lead off with Oscar Robertson. Nice. One out of 25 Milwaukee Bucks. Old Bucks legend, Oscar Robertson. That'll be for Jeremy S. With the Bucks Broncos and Blue Jays combo. Oscar Robertson has a nice autograph too. It's from Immaculate Basketball. Graded, ooh, Graded Luca Donchich, nine, five, 10 out of absolute. 60 out of 125. Centering edges, surface all a nine, five, corners a nine, autograph a 10. Rookie Donchich, who's got the Dallas Mavs? There you go, TJ Leonard with the Mavericks, nice. Nice Noah Naylor for the Indians. Bowman's Best Super Fractor. Gets the nice black one touch as well. There you go, who's got the tribe, the Indians? Cleveland Indians, Derek Hamilton. Derek, all aboard the Big Hit Express. Woo-hoo. It's pretty strong. Next one. And then we have Chauncey Billips, tie-dye. I kind of like that old pistons logo. Are they gonna bring that back? Three out of 25. Detroit Pistons, that's gonna be for the X-Line. There you go. The X-Line with the Chauncey. Next one. Next one is, it's from my team right there, 32 out of 49, triple relic and autograph out of gold standard, Josh Jacobs. Nice gold ink autograph right there too. Nice. All right, who's got randomized my Raiders? That goes to Matt Buckler. That's the spot that he won in the previous break. So I guess you can't win another hitless spot with your hitless spot because you've hit. Nice, Josh Jacobs. All right, and we've got a plate. That's Nick Bosa from Legacy, Cyan Plate. It's with the Niners, that's his college gear right there. 49ers, that'll be for Josh Proust and the 49ers. Josh, all aboard the Big Head Express. Woo-hoo. Thanks, Ryan. Appreciate it. I enjoy this hat too. It's a gangster hat, says Matt. Yeah, actually, it's funny you should mention that whenever I wear this hat or this type of hat around my mom, she always says that I look like Michael Corleone's bodyguards in Godfather I when he goes to Sicily with the shotguns in the vest.  School colors, that is Josh Young. Five out of 10, who I think is a ranger. Yes, he's currently a Texas ranger and that'll be for Nicholas L, Nick L with that one. There you go. And the last one, good luck everybody. Yeah, I've heard he's a pretty good prospect. Josh Young for the Rangers. All right, and the last one, good luck everybody. It's gonna be Ray Allen. Super Sonic's Edition. Bring the Sonic's back from Opulence. That'll of course go to O.K.C. 25 out of 79. Who's got the thunder that'll be Jeff Dorlak with the Thunder Bears Red Sox combo. There it is, ladies and gentlemen. Another great case in the books. Let's flip back to the screen right here. And let's grab all the hit list people. Sorry, hit list people, we'll get them next time. One of you though is going to win a spot in the very next break, which is coming up. Let me delete those blank spots here. New dice roll, let's roll it, let's randomize it. Four out of five, nine times. Name on top after nine gets into the very next break. One, two, three, good luck. Ninth and final time after nine. Thank you everyone for getting in. And congrats to Jeff Peace. You went hit list. I apologize about that. But you got a shot at the next break. We'll put the little rooftop symbol there. I'm Joe for jaspyscasebreaks.com. We'll see you for the next one. Bye-bye.
