Yeah, the Q&A, of course, we expect most of the exchange to be face-to-face, because this is a case, but if there are hot questions that you would rather ask anonymously, there is a very, very big scan, or you can get a slide of the comment in here, one, two, nine, with the other hand sign. And in either case, you get into this anonymous chattering, where you can ask for pretty much anything, the topics called ask, or do anything. And then you can like each other's questions, so the question was the most number of likes, will flow to the top, but of course this is supplemental. So any questions from the audience, of course, gets prior, I'd say, but if there's no hunts raised, then we would just defer to the slide of questions, which tends to be more direct, because it's anonymous. Thank you. I would like to start with a question myself. So we understand that coming up, from 1st of January, there will be a new digital ministry that will be a full ministry. Yes, but we didn't say which January. Okay. Can I withdraw my question? The January after the next. So I want these 98 general. Sure. So yeah, it is true that by January, next year, 2021, there will be a draft act, the enabling act, not only for the digital ministry, but actually for independent GDPR-compatible privacy protection authority as well. And so these are, of course, I think the only puzzle he's missing from the GDPR advocacy. So we're very much looking forward to it, but it needs to be ratified by the parliament. So the parliament, we expect the parliament to maybe take at most happier to deliberate on the organizing acts. And then it will be like the second half of next year, which the budget session will begin. And then the agency as well as the content authority for privacy protection will have the budget allocated. And on the next January, it will actually function so that that's the idea. So it's a legislative process. Any question ready from the friends here? We have only... We've got 20 for a point of view. Good one. Working digital companies here in Taiwan, we see that cyber attacks, that's here for big industrial companies and industrial systems, which is kind of working with the big technologies like the companies, with these are the growing spreads. Is there a government agency like another country that can jump in to help digital companies to secure foreign spreads? Definitely. And this is a great question. Currently, we rely on the search system to connect all the rapid response systems together. And the TWNIC agency, it's not really an agency, it's a group to interact with the internet governance system, has started to deploy some cyber security and cyber defense related bridges to the business sector. The main challenge here is that if this is a very transparent, multi-stakeholder community, as of course usually you can tell me as far as are, then there's a limit of how much information each business entity is willing to share when it faces ransomware or things like that. And so a trusted and spoke configuration is probably needed to make sure that business can report, but with a additional amount that says this is not for circulation, this is only for circulation if condition X is met and things like that. And so currently, that is broadly within the Department of Cyber Security's review, but because the Department of Cyber Security is currently part of the administration property, part of the executive event, we are now looking as part of the additional ministry reform to give it more firepower resources and agency feedback. So more agency in that agency by setting up a dedicated cyber security agency, or the Zintong Anchor and Shu, within the digital ministry. So that's not only candid cyber security agency set up their own task force, but also proposes their own regulations or even their own laws, in which case it will be much more easy for the business sector to interface with a kind of zone that respects this trade secret or other disclosure conditions. So we're prototyping that over the course of next year, and soon as the cyber security agency is in full throttle once they have the budget and so on, it will become part of the kind of official definition as part of the additional ministry cyber security agency. Second question, or third question? I would like to ask a question for you for SM management. Sure. Yeah, because particularly during the COVID-19, I think because to protect you from me, you must let you put me or from home. But in Taiwan, if you get SM management industry, for example, like a farm manager or a trader, which is down, basically they allow them to go from home.  But on the other side, they will kind of like, you know, have some privacy issues. So a lot of the manager or trader, basically they still decided they would, you know, still went to all-base. Yeah, so for number one, because you can get the global ones, both from home policy, almost as both working hours is actual, I think that's so important. Definitely. That's my condition of every cabinet, is that I get to work anyway. Yeah, but they were from the liberation side, they basically had this kind of constraint.  But on the global side, particularly right now, we're talking about, you know, digital ministries to be set up. And how can this department help other departments to become such like, you know, SFC, or SFI for those SFC to, you know, to really reduce the concern about the individual being having. Sure. Well, this is my office. Right. This is such an innovation. It used to be an Air Force headboard, so we tore down the wall, so it's now a park next to the Diane Forest Park. It's just across the James Blower market from the Diane Forest Park.  And this is much more preferred to the cabinet office. Much more often, because I get to tell the work. And creativity is evident, like when we have a visitor, a mayor actually, who saw this public installation art in their mind, they just get so inspired that they climbed on top of this display. And, right, so it's not designed for that, so I'm really glad that it, as resilient, didn't collapse. So that's mayor of Proxedy, right? And his small cabinet of pirates, well, not really pirates, but, well, I guess they are pirate party members. So the point here is that here we have the telecommunication equipment, so that when I tour around Taiwan, I can just go to the most rural place or remote islands and so on and facilitate the discussions that way. And because we have broadband as human rights and occupancies by real-time translation, even culture translation by indigenous experts, it connects Park to the social innovation lab in Taipei, where people from 12 ministries can just immerse themselves into the actual connected room that connects to the rural and remote places. So after they get kind of exposed to this kind of working, they are much more amenable to teleworking in their own ministries afterwards because they can see clearly that the cybersecurity and privacy parameters is carefully designed and teleworking doesn't mean working at home. It means currently working at one of the satellite offices, which may resemble this kind of co-working spaces with carefully designed cybersecurity and privacy parameters. And so I think this is a kind of intermediate point to get the public service comfortable with the idea of the essentially security enclaves that they can personally break in closer to home but not exactly home. And then later on, maybe they would accept working from home more easily. And then once they get this experience, it's much more likely, for example, for the psychological counseling over the internet, once we get the MOHW people working in this facility, they started to think in a more out-of-box way and then eventually allowed startups like Farhugs and so on to start working with psychological counselors over the internet. So it's proven to work just a little bit slowly.  Yeah, but let's say it's even now for a theater and even a farm manager, even they were in office, but they were required to hang in, you know, to lock all their, like, say, iPhones and their computers or those personal devices. I also, you know, cannot have that. So let's say, even though you have this kind of environment, but still, you know, for some hosts, regulatory may concern, like, when they get into a toilet and they may, you know, use their personal device to press all their, et cetera. I don't think that's part of our regulation. I think that's imposed by the business. That the regulation only talks about the cybersecurity parameter, essentially, making sure that the equipment that you use is the extension to the official intranet, basically. It may mandate to use VPNs. It may mandate to use, like, fixed IPs, like internet protocol addresses, which for many people, it means locking to a desktop computer, but it's not necessarily the case. Actually, I think the majority of telecoms here supports mobile SIM cards with a fixed IP address. So you can also say that this is a company-issued phone with a company-issued SIM card and it always connects through the same IP address. And so, when you connect through the VPN, it can authenticate using a wireless. And so, there's nothing preventing you from taking, like, this iPod and claiming that this is just really you and also it's company-issued and things like that. So nothing in the regulation for this stuff. Actually, we do use it ourselves, so we ought to know. But it does take one pioneer to just challenge the norm. Okay. Yeah, of course, face-to-face has priority, so... Hi, I'm Stephanie from the British Office. I'd be interested to know what you think the top priority should be for the new digital ministry and what policy interventions should be made to ensure that Taiwan can really benefit from the digitisation of the global economy that has happened so rapidly this year. Sure. There's a slide for that. Just a second. So, sorry, this is in elementary, but basically the priorities are innovation, inclusion and sustainability. So, in more expanded terms, the innovations that take the technology for it to work with the society rather than asking the society to adapt to disruptive technologies. So, disruptive technologies don't disrupt the society. That's what the first one is saying. The second one is saying that for new immigrants and also for new residents and so on, we need to move towards becoming a transcultural Republic of citizens, which is my translation for the official name of the country, by the way. And so, that is transcultural Republic of citizens. That's the second pillar. And the third one is about circular economy, zero waste and things like that. And so, like this jacket is literally made from up-cycled material, like 12 plastic bottles and five coffee bean waste and things like that. And so, this is something digital can really help because the digital technologies enable management of assets in the materials and in the carbon footprint and things like that which is actually not possible to track all the externalities that each action is having on climate change or things like that. So, here is like connected urban forest, climate action, participatory energy making and things like that. There's a lot of pretty complex blueprints. But the whole idea is that the digital environment need to empower human agency so that we can interact better with the civic assets and also for the civic assets. For example, the Internet of Forest and things like that to feedback through simulations so that we can deliver insights of all the externalities of our collective actions. And so, that is one part of the sustainability part. I can talk for hours. This is a seminar topic. But this is a simple answer. I'm being so fashioned to raise my hand and not use the same words on that. What are some of the efforts that are being made to encourage human entrepreneurs, especially women in tech? Yeah. So, that's an excellent question. So, we have a gender impact assessment and it's been going on for, I think, 14 years now. It's a really good system. So, I'm going to talk in very broad brushes but you can check it out from the Gender Equality Committee's point of view. So, of course, well, this is the tweet but also the parliamentarians over 40% of which women now. All of this is tracked, including the MISMI owner and servant by the gender dashboard or Zhongyao Symbian Zanou. So, this is a dashboard that just keeps accumulating from all the bills and all the major budget items within the government. So, anything that lasts one year or more needs to file this gender impact assessment to form a theory of change to be reviewed by the Gender Equality Committee that has one more vote from civil society organization leaders and ministers. And so, this is a quite conscious decision. So, after a project or a bill expires, still it's tracking and it's influence will continue on this gender dashboard. So, I'm going to skip the details because this is literally what all of us have to file whenever we come up with a project. We have to do statistics analysis, policy analysis and things like that. So, after many years of evaluation, we would link our main web with gender and proactively discover gender-related issues. So, in my recent conversation in APAC, with the title Open Recovery, which is also interestingly representing myself with a domain name instead of a country name. But in any case, the point is that we take a look at gender impact dashboard and then start to design our financial assistance for the open recovery phase after the COVID and make sure that the e-learning capacity building for women is prioritized based on that. And that also fits into, for example, our trip was the most large policy to encourage the revenue of retail and catering segments. And we basically mandated that everyone who would want to enjoy from the TSP need to go out and buy from Ms. Mies instead of just stay at home and order from the e-commerce platforms or the food delivery platforms and so on. And so that has really made a really good debt in the gender impact dashboard when it concerns Ms. Mies as well. So the details of which can be gleaned from the Ms. Mies agency, but the theory is that we just look at a gender-statistic impact dashboard and do our theory of change based on what we know will encourage more women entrepreneurs and also people who want more flexible working environments just to go out and hunt. Minister, you were earlier during the breakfast here sharing the copies of the new digital and the cards that are coming out. And thank you for sharing that. It's very nice to see that the great lengths have gone into protecting the personal data so it will be visible on the face of the card. My question is will the same considerations also be made for the permanent residents and the residents typically for foreign nationals when this new rollout comes in place next year? Yeah, this is a great question. It is true that our citizen digital certificate has more uptake than the alien digital certificate which many people didn't even know that exists. But it's something for electronic signatures but for non-citizens. And so there's a concerted effort and also thanks to many of you here to get the ID format of those two strands unified so that I think it's also January and by that I mean next January. So now that any of you can voluntarily switch to a new national ID looking numbering system and the first year is free actually. Afterward you have to pay for the transactional necessary costs. And so once the format of the ARC as well as the national ID is unified and all the e-commerce sites and all the businesses have adapted to this new format this will make it much more easy for the IC card to basically work for both and all sorts of discrimination online. And this ID card as I showed here there's an important part in the regulation because this IC card is actually optional the IC pod is optional. So anyone can see that this has less information on the face of the card than the current generation the sixth generation ID card. And on the back it only says whether you're single or married but it doesn't reveal your spouse's name or your parent's name or your residential address or things like that. So all in all it's more privacy-posalifying. But for people who said that they don't want it to be an IC card they can use stickers to just hide the passport like a pin code. It's not really a pin code. It's a reading code and a serial number in the IC card. And once you shield this using stickers the stickers by the way are officially from the MOI I just received it yesterday. So the MOI said publicly yesterday that if you put on all those stickers nobody can force you to remove it. And that's indeed true. According to the regulation all the service providers need to keep this purely analog service pathway and no one can force you to engage in the electronic pathway. So the front of the card is the primary one and the back of the card is essentially up in and you can up out using stickers. So we'll test that for the next six months or so in Shinto City. And if people in Shinto City like it then we'll probably also extend it to other certificates including the ARC and so on. But if the people in Shinto City requires change, for example if a claimer for the spouse's name to be displayed for some reason then the format may still change. So we'll know by maybe next July or so. Okay, for me just a quick follow up question you mentioned the new format that is coming into effect for the ARC now is something that we've been advocating for for over 10 years actually so we're very happy to see it actually happen. It won't be identical with the Taiwan system that's the first stage it will be an eight or a nine. So my question is will it actually work? Yeah, the first digit, yes that's right. So it will of course work if the people who are in charge of the e-commerce systems actually change their checksum, their code. If they do not change their code there is a point of contact in the MOEA who will strongly encourage them to change the code. I was just answering that this very question on for a MOSA yesterday during the parliamentary interpolation actually. So I was just, you know while the interpolation was going on I was just answering POSA on for a MOSA. And basically we have a consumer protection act that ensures the equity and equality of all the consumers. So I heard from the for a MOSA contributors that they are now crowdsourcing a list of e-commerce providers that currently make the mistake of not admitting ERC members and they will basically send emails I guess initially polite and increasingly angry emails to them announcing that they conform to the new format I think next January. And so I already promised on for a MOSA that I will help however I can like physically visiting those e-commerce vendors if necessary. And so I am all for making this a real change and within again I think this the first six months just like the EID test phase will let us wrinkle out all the problems in the initial implementation. So yeah, if there is anything within the next six months or so that prevents this new format from working on the technological level then I am happy to serve even as a coder to personally fix those regular expressions. Two questions. I have a follow up question to what you just said. We have, as a software developer or someone who knows about software libraries we always have the problem to find reference libraries from the government I don't even know the specification of the new EID I just see from the news that the ID number might be 8 or 9 but I don't see any government page or reference implementation like for some of which software... It's in schema.gov.tw We'll get it updated. I think it has to be shared more with software developers because most of the software developers they just search on Google or on the same exchange so they will find the information they have. We can work on our SEO that's for sure so that we show up on the first page. The government has to provide an SDK to 2,000 people. Yeah, we will of course provide a schema and a schema because we have open API standard as part of our standard procurement roles. So just as a background in Taiwan for many years go to a website you may see 3... 3 punctuation marks on the top of the page and that's the accessibility indicator meaning that this is designed for people who have seen difficulties and for all our IT contractors and system integrators if they say I have to charge you extra to make my website accessible for you then actually they get disqualified for being non-professional because a professional vendor needs to take care of people with wine and so four years ago when I first became digital master I got this amendment that says also that you have to provide an interface for robots essentially through an open API that conforms to the schema including the registration of the national ID system and so if a vendor says that this website, this service that I designed for the government can only work with humans but not robots they could also get disqualified for discriminating against robots but we don't quite say that in the regulation but it's the effect and so I think at least for the government to run services the upgrade will be smooth but we can't promise the same for the e-commerce vendors which technically isn't a licensed operation so we have very little leverage over them so it relies on the Consumer Protection Act as well as the crowdsourced campaign but I'm happy to also support that campaign Good morning, Audrey I had a question around digital skills and talent broadly which most companies across most industries and geographies are seeking what's your thoughts on building these skills versus buying them through an on-demand workforce and is there much of that that exists in terms of buying these skills in Taiwan? Okay so just to clarify a little bit making sure that I heard you correctly when we refer to digital skills what specifically have you in mind? I think broadly I think most companies are going through some form of digital transformation so I speak more for kind of multinational companies that are seeking these skills internally and then struggling with perhaps finding them in the market or building them Okay, yeah so we do have a plan for that and it's called 3T.org.tw it's a pilot it may expand more in the future and some of you may have seen that there was a short film promoting it where I played the role after I am on it anyway and so this is targeting oh yeah here's something that tells you just to sign up that says that there's no tuition needed for the talents freshly out of college to go to the digital transformation ambassador training position for the service industry for the marketing and communication for the manufacturing as well as for just developing AI and this is targeting not only college students who major in ICT but also pretty much everyone because we see that digital transformation comes first from the idea that if you get five really young people together as a team they can transform the norm the culture of an existing team so that's for example teleworking for example the idea of automating away some of the chores that was taken for granted and so on basically take food out in that particular six months it's like an internship that we call it an internship so that they can have a real case of officially transforming one is me in their nearby vicinity after which they will be more qualified to join the kind of multinationals that you mentioned because they already have some success or failure but very public failure that they learn from and under their portfolio and so we're happy that we get many leaders from the business communities to essentially coach like five young students at a time digital transformation projects six months at a time so yeah if you're interested in that please visit 3t.org gtw and broadly it's modeled after our own internship program in my office which we have I think 30 interns usually college level or the master's degree level but anyway so 30 people every year for four years that's 120 people and all they do is just to look at the digital service from the government that they don't like and make it better so they would improve for example this administrative labor this is the Taipei city hospital this is the Taipei citizen service this is the youth development agency Jilong city and Taiwan jobs and a bureau of social work in the Taichung city and many things like that and all of them have also shared how they have developed their skills for digital transformation by interning in my office and working with the actual agencies but what we have learned from this is that it takes literally four years to gain the trust for the career public service for them to do this truly transformational work the first year they were all literally just fixing the website so it works on non-internet explorer browsers which is really kind of trivial but it's also important work to get the trust built and then the second year our mobile services and only on the third and fourth year do they get to pick the kind of digital service they want to transform so it also takes time nice to meet you I'm Toshaki Kimura from Jella Jella is a Japanese power utility and now in Taiwan now we are developing offshore grid for most of us two and three now we are considering to use the AI for operation of the power plant but I want to ask your advice if we consider to use the AI what humans still can do because I think a recent AI system is very improved and in terms of operation maybe AI can do everything but I'm wondering what is still the role of the human so Toshaki it's a good question it is a great question it's a question of our time and I really think it's an awesome question so back to this so interestingly when I see the term AI I think of assistive intelligence so assistive intelligence is just the latest in development in a long line of assistive technology for example this is assistive technology the eyeglass because it helps me see better and it's aligned to my best interest that is to say to see better instead of other people's interest for example I don't see pop-up advertisement eyeglass that would be somebody else's interest and then my grandma for example has a hearing aid that helps her to hear better again it needs to be aligned to her and be accountable when it doesn't work or when it breaks instead of just randomly serving advertisements or podcasts so we already have a social norm about assistive technology in that it needs to respect the dignity of the individual interacting with the technology and augment the individual so that it works better with the society and so on so if we develop AI as assistive intelligence I don't think there will be that much worry of being replaced I wouldn't worry about me being replaced by my eyeglasses my grandma wouldn't be replaced by her hearing aid because these are assistive in nature but on the other hand there are jurisdictions that see AI more as authoritarian intelligence to say a vehicle for control but I think it's a misnomer to say AI will enslave people people enslave people through AI so AI doesn't have this motivation to enslave anyone this is just a way to say that if you over-concentrate the power to make decisions to a limited number of people then it makes it authoritarian in nature so authoritarian intelligence assistive intelligence to very different development methodologies and so the main difference is really the feedback loop if the individuals within a what we call a ACI assistive collective intelligence system all have the capability of feeding back to the AI system to demand accountability when the alignment is in a good feedback loop and so people can collectively benefit from it but if we cut the feedback loop for example if we only have the Centroepidemic Command Center daily life press conference but without the chance for journalists asking questions or for citizens calling in the hotline 1922 then it will be seen as very authoritarian but because of the feedback loop and the real rapid response then everybody who has a stake in it and who maybe gets harmed by the AI development can correct its course very quickly so the assistive pod I think is the most important guiding us Thank you Yes More questions? I would like to have a follow-up question on all of each of our candidates because we are trying to introduce each of our tours of our health and healthcare from other countries from our global practice this is not easy to convince the community with the government about the change of the regulation or the practice so as I told you you already introduced and we have some over-community try to change your mindset instead of change your mindset from bottom up try to open mind to listen in opinion from communities so Matt know your suggestion how as a global healthcare digital medical device company a master strategy to approach the government to try to change the life of the new regulatory healthcare industry or should we try to learn from the top down and also from the communities Great question The reason why I emphasize the public art installation and this very friendly atmosphere for the responsive inclusive and representative decision making is because you can't really change their mind but you can't change their feelings you can change the effect what they feel about any particular technology so if the first exposure for a for example public service administrative transportation communications to the self-driving vehicles is this huge truck that moves very fast and occasionally cause accidents they're bound to be very conservative in their response to self-driving technology but because in our social innovation lab their first exposure actually to those tricycles that are just this high end isn't faster than me running so they will see this as something that is has the potential to co-create to basically serve as like shopping carts or something for the people in jimbalsara markets and also for the nearby students the open community you mentioned to hack it to change it so it's more pro-social and it would learn to for example respect the elderly, yield to the elderly which the original designers in Boston didn't really care they only care about yielding to children the point is that different society have different social norms and so for the public service to see the first demonstration of your technology as respecting the norm massively increase the trust between them and you and then they also of course will worry about two things the first is the political risk who would this you know expose me to political risk and the second is that would this make me spend more time on my work than I'm already spending on my work or will this new technology actually manage my time better so that the regulatory technology can take away some of the burdens that the individual needs to to take on a daily basis so to increase the trust to reduce the risk to save your time you can't probably do all three in one emerging technology but at least we can demonstrate first we do no harm that is to say we don't trust you know the technology to for example make all the human decisions by the AIS that was the previous question but if it's an assistive role like a GPS navigator or something that provides the contextual information for the human being then that's more trustworthy so it gains a little bit on the trust part while not sacrificing anything on the risk part or on the part that the time consuming part and so this is what we call a Pareto improvement an improvement of one axis without sacrificing the other axis and so if you keep doing Pareto improvements then eventually the public service will come around and say oh yeah this looks like very much privacy preserving for things like the latest developments in medical use of computation there's things like what we call the fully homomorphic encryption which will make the public cloud providers capable of calculating running computations very sensitive and private data but running it on encrypted form and then it can compute any encrypted input into encrypted output without looking into any of the data there and so when it deliver the results then we can just decrypt and receive the promise but this is a literally a like as of this year new mathematical breakthrough and so the existing regulations of course did not anticipate it so what's important here is that we demonstrate for just one very simple formula maybe calculating the average that this works as intended without exposing people to risk without consuming their time and the trust will increase a little bit so this is the kind of theory of change that I'm operating with yeah Hi would you, my name is Peter Sutton I work with Woodpecker where a language version of software company and we do our development here at I want to ask you about the bilingual nation project so I think initially it was mainly about the language but I saw recently the examination you had just come out with the course of support for the service what's remote learning or language learning software opportunities that you're seeing in your world and companies like ours would understand there's a lot of people using dual lingo as part of the even on the kindergarten level actually and the regulatory reform that basically takes the existing kindergarten regulations and relax them so the kindergartens are now well very soon will be allowed to basically teach bilingualy so not as a foreign language but as a second language or even as one of the primary languages those will be legal and there's a lot of the demands of the new teaching methodologies to work with the kindergarten level so I would suggest start there because if you start there then it's more natural and for many parents the kindergarten is there for playing anyway there's less pressure for for example individual to individual competition or things like that and so like gaming software is always a much more experimental field than education or software which we need to conform to these ideas about education and so just make it more about play than learning that would be my suggestion there is time for one last question and I want to not completely ignore Slido so after this I'll take some Slido but I think it's a very important question because I want to go back to data privacy in AI so I'm not talking about self-driving cars I'm not talking about industrial machine learning and so on but I'm very concerned about private data being used and mass a lot of data in big data being used by companies in Taiwan like AI labs we say okay I will care a bit about privacy but give us all the data for the citizen all the x-ray data which is available for myself when I was getting the mask the first time in Taiwan was the mask distribution system which is quite secure because you have to do a device binding right and you have to but then it's just a password to see the NHI app and I was very shocked when I went to the NHI app I went to my own data and I could see that I can see how much contributions I gave to the NHI every month since 13 years so I could see how much money I was paying the NHI since 13 years so my question to that is because it will not be possible in Europe because any privacy impact assessment that the government know we don't need to keep the data for 13 years my question is what is your roadmap in terms to reach adequacy with the GDPR what is your use here can be done in 2 years 3 years or because there's a lot of things to cover right but the GDPR doesn't actually this allow you know keeping a record for 13 years or 14 years if there is legitimate historical interest or scientific interest in that it means it's up for each member countries to determine the norm but I'm not defending this data retention but I'm just pointing out that without my data portal at MIT high and ATG or VTW people doesn't even know how much data that the government has on them and so having a single download like a blue button here is really the first step because without which we don't form a reasonable expectation of new norms around data retention and privacy and things like that so there's a lot of things like such as data access requests exactly yes and that's my data so you have to implement all these things yes we have implemented this on the regulatory level and on the algorithmic level the main thing that we do not currently conform to the GDPR currently the regulatory interpretation agency is part of the NDC so the appointment and the budget is part of the NDC budget and even the GDPR negotiation office within the NDC isn't really an enforcement agency for all the different competent authorities because the competent authorities by law, our data privacy law is actually their own their own DPA but we don't get 12 more seats by the virtue of having 12 DPAs so as for roadmap that's the first thing that needs to change and that's what I refer to in next January we'll send this independent DPA that has enforcement capabilities to the legislature and once they legislate it and give it the budget later half of the next year then we can fully conform to the GDPR because then the out of norm behaviors could be enforced by the independent DPA who do not need to worry that the head of the association or the council will be replaced by higher ups because in a sense there's no higher ups the higher up is a premier I hope it can be your ministry that does that job, thank you there's many soft things designed that time is up exactly, it has a timer, yes so maybe I'll just take two minutes to quickly answer the slide of questions so the first one talks about the DCA draft and then the DCA draft is currently under another round of review the main contention of the DCA draft was that there was no competent authority of the DCA there was no digital competent authority the NCC says we help drafting the law but we are not the competent authority which is kind of an anomaly and so I think with the digital ministry it's far more likely that the DCA will get approval from the legislative floor because finally we'll have a competent authority that is in charge of not only interpreting but also enforcing the DCA clauses so the protection of internet infrastructure the core of internet infrastructure for the past six years now we basically have a procurement rule that says anything related to security not just cyber security it's a loud PRC that's people's Republic of China region components and so we already have this clean path thing before it was called clean path and so we're happy to help on that particular regard would you like to buy an autonomous car? I'll probably rent one but that's the whole point right because it will come to you and that's actually my answer it's much more designed with the urban infrastructure than the traditional ownership model the impact on privacy and disclose to the public definitely we did actually do privacy impact assessment at the request of the parliament from the hearing earlier a few months ago the department of security the ministry of justice all gave their reports and assessments particularly to the digital fans program but of course after COVID just like after SARS 1.0 we'll probably do a much more comprehensive review and see how we can improve for the better for the next SARS hopefully not any time soon and finally the regular fistfights in the Taiwanese parliament is there just to create a buzz in foreign social media no it's meant for domestic social media as well thank you

Okay, now back to Menti. What is a practical way to find out the religion of the chef in the kitchen? If you can't tell by other things in the restaurant and feel shy of asking repeat that So you're talking about the the chef whether the chef is a Muslim or not Yes, how does one find out if the chef is Muslim or the religion of if you are dealing with a? Non-Muslim restaurant you will have to inquire that You're going to Trouble yourself to go all the way there then at least call up before on phone you can maybe ask that more easily and And Then go there. So you're saying we must inquire Well, if you're dealing with non-Muslim restaurant, yes and if they say that this person has no religion if they're an atheist and you're talking about Vegetarian vegetarian food. No, I mean you go to a steakhouse Uh-huh, and you and you call up and it's a non-Muslims well restaurant is non-Muslim so to speak and They admit on the phone that all our chefs or some of our chefs are have no religion. They have more faith Well, then I don't think you should go there I Okay But if it's a Muslim restaurant, then you don't need to ask that question Okay, I assume it's okay. Unless you find otherwise All right

After seeing this video, I immediately knew that I wanted to try this plugin. It's a plugin by Dataplus that allows you to load BSP files into Gerard. BSP files are the map files for Half-Life, so that means that you can also load maps from other mods, for instance Counter-Strike. I don't have the old Counter-Strike files, but luckily the internet archive has a repository of more than a thousand Half-Life maps that you can download, so I picked that too because it's the map that I spent the most time in, so I know it well enough. Starting from a press project, I download the plugin from GitHub and I add it into Gerard. I enable it from the settings, I will now download Dust2 from the internet archive files DE underscore Dust2. Feel free to try any of your favorite maps. I will create a new folder which will be called Dust2 to store the files and I will extract the content of the zip file into this new folder. Now that they are loaded in Godot, I can create a new 3D scene. Let's save it as Dust2. Now you have to open the addons folder and drag this BSP map DSCN to your scene. This will create this kind of node which you can select and here you have the import options for the plugin. Basically you will want to search for the path here to the Dust2 maps Dust2 BSP and now you have all these options that you can select and then whenever you select the options that you want you can create a map. It will not look exactly as we expected but let's try it out. It takes a bit of time sometimes it might hang and crash. Here is the first time we imported a map. So first of all we see that the map is a bit dark which we don't like and there are a lot of errors if you see here that some of the walls are transparent so how to fix all those issues. Sometimes import them and they work better but at this time we need some tweaking. So let's go ahead and remove all these which are all the nodes created. Let's delete them and instead of importing with the default options let's remove the optimize and let's create the map again. Okay so now we see we've got better results. You can see now that some of the walls are not transparent anymore but it's still very dark. That's because the default environment in Godot is a bit dark for this kind of map. So let's create a new child node and it's going to be a world environment. Then let's create this new environment for setting up the light and in ambient light we want it to be white and let's set it to something like three so it's a bit more bright. Okay so now this is starting to look like that's two. We see that some of the shadows have some issues here. Most of the textures are working and the light that you see and the shadows that you see on the map are already pegged in so they are inside of the model. If you notice that they have these blue outlines I don't know if you can see them because they are very small but you can select these nodes and basically it's made of meshes that are the parts like the Lego bricks that build your map. This is how they get imported into Godot and as you can see here there are some graphical issues with the importer and they are very inconsistent. Every time I imported the map I saw different issues here and there but it's pretty pretty good. Let's let's change the color of the sky. Let's let's make the sky here it's a good place. Let's change the sky. Okay so background clear color that's a custom color and set I don't know like something like this. Now that we have the map let's try to walk through it. Instead of doing the entire tutorial thingy and doing a first person shooter controller I will get this pre-made node from Garbage. I added the player here which is the same with the FPS controller. Okay so we have it here oh it's super tiny. Okay let's see how tiny it is. It's a bit small. When you import the map you have the scale factor which is now at one. I think that the FPS controller is too small but we can fix that in a very ugly way. Three three tall that looks kind of like a okay let's try it out and yeah I can move my mouse. I still cannot move because I haven't configured the controls but we're pretty much inside the map. Okay let's set up the keyboard keys. Let's try it out again and we should be able to walk around the map. Okay so yeah we're pretty much walking through dust too. Let's see if we jump. We have collisions. The jump is a bit lower but yeah this can be a good way to set up like some prototype levels. If you already know how your counter strike maps feel and you want to make like an FPS but you don't want to go through the hassle of making test levels for you know trying it out you you can basically do this and you know have dust too or any other whole life map in your game and just try it out. See how the scale of the characters are. I don't like the rendering a lot like it has a lot of issues but I think that this is something that we have to modify with Godot. It's not the import itself. Another experiment that we can do is instead of using this light which is the one that is provided by the map itself the map information we can try to use Godot's own illumination. So let's make a new scene and let's import it again without the lighting. Instead of adding import light maps let's remove this one and see how it looks. Okay we see now that there are no light maps whatsoever. We have the default environment so that's the sky and the horizon but no shadows whatsoever which I believe makes it less buggy. There are less textures that are broken but okay let's add some low illumination. Okay direction and light. Okay and we see here that we have already some light. Let's move the sun closer so we can see the direction that it's looking at. Okay it's looking that way. Let's move it. This rotated. It was kind of like this okay. So now all the objects are illuminated by Godot. They cast no shadows but at least this looks good. The issue now is if I enable the shadows you will see that it's not exactly meant to be like this. It looks nice but in these kind of shapes where they are hollow and there are no content inside of course the only shadow cast is whatever you see from here. So in this case this part of the wall is the only thing making a shadow. I think you can fix this if you go through the map but I would just I don't know it doesn't look like the real dust to me especially because the light is very soft in Godot and I don't know I kind of like the old school shadow that you have but it's pretty nice. The interior this this looks really bad. No this doesn't look good at all but at least you can experiment with some other lighting. Juan please fix.


Hello everybody and welcome to another hobby cheating video and today we are going to talk about painting black armor. So obviously with the new Slaves of Darkness as well as perhaps the Sisters of Battle all either here or on the horizon depending on when you're watching this or in the past. Black armor is very much in vogue. Everyone's wearing black this season. So we're going to talk a little bit about how to paint it. I'm actually going to take you through two completely different methods. First one I'll call the speedy method. If you've got a whole lot of stuff you need to knock out fast. I'm going to show you how to get fast, quick, tabletop ready black armor that will still have a really nice amount of contrast to it. And then we're also going to do more detailed black armor. So we're going to split those up into two sections. They'll be time stamped below so you can go down there and click to it if you feel like it. But here we have a chaos pony. This is obviously a knight's cast of the cast knight's steed and this is the old one not the new one. And so I thought what a perfect guy since I've got a couple of these still lying around what a perfect way to do it in advance of the new stuff as of the time recording this I don't have on my new cast of yet. So this guy has been Xenothold in the standard method that is to say he was black gray and then gray and then white from above. Nothing too crazy.  But we're going to start up here on his little pony head. Let's talk about the paints on the palette. First off right there Abaddon black F4 mentioned right next to it although it looks the same it's not. We've got some Daler Rowney Payne's gray FW ink. We follow that up with some Vallejo model color Dark Sea Blue. And then over here on the side we have some Reaper Maggot White. Okay, let's before I get into the actual painting we're going to just talk about the Fundaments of Highlighting Black.  That still leaves you 40 to 50% of the surface to play with in other not black colors and we need to do something with that to make that visually interesting. If you look at this bottle of black paint here you can see how much of it is reflecting my lights from above. Now that's kind of a plastic thing on the outside so it's very shiny but I can pick up 10 different things. How about the tip of that cap again notice how much of it is reflecting other colors getting polluted by light from what's around in the room and so on and so forth.  It will only one white goes chalky easy it's harder to manage two it will make it less visually interesting because you're already dealing with a not color in black. Black is the absence of color it is boredom in paint form okay. So how are we going to make it more interesting well maybe we're going to use a green white like maggot white maybe we're going to use a blue white like Balejo Glacier blue maybe we're going to use maybe we're going to use a warm yellow white like ice yellow from Balejo by the way these aren't these are just examples any bright color like this would work maybe we're going to go real crazy and we'll use something like a salmon rose so this is like a very light ish flesh tone which can also add interesting shades of red since the blacks actually tend to be made from blues and so we're naturally cold this can add more warmth into your highlighter mid-tone. The point is pick something interesting for your highlight don't just use white okay alright so we're all on the page with that we all agree cool so let's let's do the speedy method so speedy method first we're going to start with a little bit of our pains gray or sorry our pains gray and our dark sea blue so we're going to take some of that dark sea blue we're going to pull it up here on the palette and we're going to take a little bit of that blue black ink we're going to mix it in there so we get a nice mix of the two we're going to grab some water get that in there you want to get this nice and thinned down because we're going to work it into a glaze and if you have any questions about glazing you can go see my how to glaze video that will be your guide okay we're gonna take so I've got some master medium which is what I just showed the cap of from Green Stuff World it's a really nice medium I like for thinning paints you can use glaze medium from Vallejo you can use you know Lamia medium whatever you want okay does not matter so I'm just using a mix of that and water so let's get that over here we'll make kind of two different consistencies of it one that's very thin and one that isn't so now I've got two different piles at two different levels of thickness two different levels of coverage and we can test that as always by taking our hand we'll take a little bit of that and put it on there and you see okay that's about what we get out of it so it's still got a nice medium tone to it let's take this one the very weak one you see that one super weak perfect okay so again this is the speed tone so here we go we're gonna start with the middle one here the sort of middle tone sorry that's really reflecting my light where it's sitting that's my overhead light so at any rate we get some of that up in our brush as always when we're glazing most important step is we wick off the excess over here can't have a bunch of paint flooding the zone we're gonna go ahead and hit the tops of his head here I'm gonna go ahead and start I'm gonna assume the highlight kind of goes like this around the backside so I'm gonna start there and I'm gonna pull toward where I want the shadows okay nice quick glaze pull it right down there with that blue tone easy peasy right nothing too complicated so far let that glaze dry which takes just a few seconds because they're fast right if you have different color things are like up here where you'd say the darkest part be at the top we'd pull toward the top you're always pulling toward your deepest shadow okay because that's where it's gonna deposit the most paint alright once that first layer of glaze is dry we go get a second one again we wick off all our excess okay and then we're gonna do the same thing yet again we're gonna pull it right down toward the shadows I'll cover just slightly less still basically just the same thing just pulling it toward the shadows okay easy alright so now we let that one dry for a second two quick glazes no problem slap it on there bing bang boom now we're gonna take a little bit of that Payne's gray ink we're gonna bring it over here we're gonna grab a little bit of that Abaddon black we're gonna mix it in there so we want a little bit of a mix of both leaning toward the Payne's gray and grab some water thin that out that ink is very pigment rich so we've got it we've got to be aggressive with it I'm gonna grab a bunch of our medium we're gonna go in here review the same thing again you'll see why I'm making a thinner one here a moment okay now again same thing I've got one real thick one pretty thin awesome or sorry thick is the wrong word it's an ink based thing it's not thick one still that's gonna provide decent coverage one that's going to be very very wispy okay and again same thing we test on the back of our hand so we'll start with the heavier one we work it off let's give that a shot nice good level of darkness we want and then we test the lighter one you can see that difference there perfect exactly what we need okay grab our medium one here yet again as always with our glazes and look how much of that just wicks right off of there right easy peasy bring up our horse again where he's all nice and dry and now we're gonna start about 50% down remember the 50 to 60% rule we're just gonna pull that darkness right into the shadows and here on this part we're gonna pull it straight up we're trying to get that nice dark black to be gathering in these areas if you're having trouble hitting a spot you can always rotate it a little just get that nice and spread out nice and smooth okay all right so you can see then we're gonna let that dry get another layer of that now that that and glazes dry real fast that's the advantage same thing again about the same amount of space pull down in there always pulling toward the spot we wanted to pause at the paint by the way if you have an airbrush you can do this all with an airbrush if you're comfortable so if you have like a bigger area you're doing you can do this exact same technique with just airbrush glazing and it actually becomes real easy real fast because you can you can just really control it down okay all right so now that's where we're at easy peasy so far finally take a little bit of that medium straight in we're gonna go right into our black we're just gonna get it flowing with the medium still grab a little bit of ink just for coverage but we're mostly leaning toward black this time and then once again here's our horse and we're gonna just go ahead and in that bottom area there we're gonna apply that more or less full black so now we got that nice dark deep area there so you can see it just looks like black with an ultra high reflection and if I went around and sort of did the same thing up here like if I black out this top part so you so you're not getting your eye sorry polluted by the extra white you'll see actually how different it looks that's one of the interesting things about something like this is that your eye is very sensitive to other colors being around and so we'll we'll notice like if there's a bunch of white up here it won't look as dark but you can see once I darken the top part look how much more like black armor that looks just instantaneously okay alright you're now you're probably asking yourself but Vince for why did you have the maggot white oh what an excellent question imaginary viewer your final step is we come in here we grab a little bit of whatever's left of our medium take some of that maggot white you can do this with some flow improver if you've got as well or just a steady hand because you're gonna come in and you're gonna just very carefully hit those edges nice and light we're gonna re-catch every one of those edges the interesting thing about using colored whites is that even to the eye they'll still appear as mostly white like when put against a very dark color like this your eye isn't actually very good at disambiguating that color consciously it just knows that like it's seeing something that's more visually interesting so then we just catch every edge of the armor we want to especially make sure we get these bottom edges here the opposite of the sort of the opposite of the the darkest part because it will look the black will look darker if set against a little tiny sliver of light as all things like contrast is king and we screw up your edge highlighting like I just did because I'm doing this at an odd angle where I dragged a little bit of paint it's no big deal so let that dry and go grab a little tiny bit of our black paint if you saw one of my you saw my edge highlighting video you know one of the secrets to edge highlighting is not to stop with just the edge but whenever you make a mistake you go back in and you just clean it up so there we go we got a nice easy blend looks like this highly reflective black armor and you're easy if you want to add some more color this is where the very light color blue glaze comes in you can come in with this which is just a nice light filter that has almost no impact and you can sort of take it over everything and it'll just add this nice blue tint to everything this is just a light filter there you go now you got a little bit of color in there too because it'll actually show a little more with the dark sea over the whatever you have there that's your speed method to me it's super fast and I think it actually gives you a great looking result like when I look at that I think that yeah that looks like super reflective armor that you spent a long time on doing blends but of course we didn't we spent like eight or nine minutes doing lens and you know they were just quick laces and I could have done the whole horse and it would have been easier because every layer would have definitely been dry so that's your speed method now we're gonna move to the horses behind and we're gonna look at the lengthier method of doing black armor where you want it to be really high highlighted and smooth blends and contrast and stuff like that so I'm gonna pause here while I reset my pallets we'll be right back alright we're back we're ready to do the more detailed version so right up here you can see we had our speed paint area you can see how that reflection looks I went ahead and did a more detailed version off-screen so you can see kind of the idea of having this softer fade and you can see how in this version it's more soft in the way it smooths out and I could still probably glaze that back more whereas here there's a little bit of roughness to it well let's talk about the techniques we can employ so here on the other side of the horse I've got this part just ready and blacked out in this part I'm starting normal down here on the pallet we have some ice blue we have so that's our sorry glacier blue from Vallejo we have some salmon rose from also from Vallejo we've got some dark sea blue from Vallejo got a little dollar-roundy FW paints gray ink and finally some Abaddon black okay so we can start from a black base coat or not it doesn't really actually matter and let's talk about why black is super challenging to work with when you're trying to do a detailed blend something like this you're going from black to white so you're literally crossing the highest amount of contrast and you're trying to do it in a very small amount of space because remember let's say 60% of the thing still needs to be black in color right because if it's not it won't read as black like if I if I spread that white and blue out and only this much of the thing and below was black it wouldn't read as black this would just read as a dark shadow of them right so we have to keep the majority of the area in that dark color or something approximating it so like either black or blue black you know when I say it has to be black I don't mean it has to be the exact darkest tone like you have to use some kind of this paint something like a very dark black black green black brown black red you can use a lot of those colors and you can still always be infusing color in and it will sell it'll still look right the key is that 60% number the second thing I want to talk about is just the concept of blending this stuff out this sort of challenge that black presents us requires us to do potentially a lot more blending than anything else and there are a million ways to blend we could wet blend it out we can use some loaded brush we can do all sorts of things and the answer is sure all of those work I see a lot of people get lost sometimes in the technique they get tripped up because they're like oh that's great did you wet blend that what kind of blending did you use I used all of them I used every kind of blending all at once and whatever was appropriate and I don't think about it I have no lights I don't sit down and go hmm shall I wet blend this or will this be a project for a loaded brush no you just you throw it we're throwing paint at it so you can use any of those techniques and they will work any of them there is no right there's no right correct method of blending for this it's about the way you apply it consistently so let's talk about the simplest way we could be getting this which is your good old-fashioned layering so let's just pick a few of these head spots up here we'll start by turning them black okay in this case I'm just gonna do one little coat of it even though because it'll leave it somewhat transparent and that's okay we're gonna go for the layering technique it's the easiest thing to do okay our idea here is we're just gonna put you know sort of shingles on a rooftop type of thing and again I want the light gathered up here and towards the back right so then I'm gonna go into my ink my blue black ink and in this case I'm gonna get everything except that very line against the bottom because this still looks rather dark and still will read as black to people you can actually see when it's glossy and wet it looks darker it's another interesting part about black that I'll mention here just as we're letting that dry if you have something like you can see here let's go ahead and I'll apply some of this blue black ink which is not true black too over the black notice how all of a sudden when it's wet this part seems darker than this part this is a lighter color than this but this seems darker okay that's because the glossiness the nature of the shine in black will make it appear a deeper black like that when you see that paint that's like the blackest black on the market let's I have hyper matte so it actually ends up often looking kind of gray depending on what's going on but either way it looks devoid of visual interest so the point that I'm making here is one of the neat tricks you can do to get really really dark colors in your deep shadows is you can take like a little gloss medium or something like that sneak that into your black in the shadows and it will actually appear darker there than it would otherwise okay alright so back to the layering so now we'll take a little bit of our blue black we'll mix it with some of our dark sea blue right and now what we're gonna do is again we're just gonna come up toward the edge there easy peasy nice little first layer now what we do is let's prepare the rest of this run I grab a bunch of dark sea blue bunch of blue black mix that all in I've got some medium over here on the other side of my palette we'll use okay now let's go ahead and get some of that over here make a second pile and let's bring some of that salmon rose in how it looked too much the key is we want to do these small steps nice let's lay down another one there bring in a little bit more of that rose let's lay down a new pile off of that bring in a little bit more and let's start adding in just a touch of that ice blue as well or that glacier blue as well start fading it out go here and then let's go like that then let's do one more if I was actually preparing to paint a whole thing by the way I would make these much bigger but since I'm just doing a tiny little part so now you can see I've got all my steps awesome okay so now we're just gonna come in and we're gonna say take some of our first lighter step here up and right toward the edge there okay when you're doing this kind of layering it's always gonna look a little bit you're always gonna be able to see lines when you make these jumps it's one of the tricks with black then we're gonna take a slightly lighter color cover even a little bit less I'll talk about how we fix that in a moment don't worry then we go to our next lighter step a little bit less I think you get the idea here then we take our next color now we're covering very little indeed and then finally we throw our paintbrush around like a crazy person we go to our highest highlight here and we're gonna get just that little corner space right and then just as before we need to take our brightest bright color which is this glacier blue and we're gonna make sure we have the edge nice and take the edge make sure it's nice and picked out we especially want that light right next to the dark and if we mess up and get some paint in the wrong place like I did there where I because I have to hold this at an odd angle no big deal we go back to our original black and we just fix that up real quick and easy right now if there if you do have those sort of shingles once everything dries where you can still see the division lines between them if you're not totally happy with it then you go into something like your original sort of mid-dark color you thin that down into a glaze just like we did in the last one just get that nice and thin and then again pulling toward the shadows you just run a few of those glazes over and you'll just hide that right away so that's if you want to go with sort of the traditional layering method and it works you can build up like that you also want to think about in addition to the edges you want to think about things like your your other things that would catch light so for example there's this little rivet right here we would want to make sure we picked that out with a little highlight right because the light effect will sell more if I can see it having a normal effect on everything I could do little scratches and dots or something you know there's there's always lots of different things you can do but the more you kind of add a little bit of confusion of texture of other light elements there the more it will it will sell okay now if you're don't if you're not the layering type and you say but Vince there has to be a quicker way well sure there is of course instead of doing that all slow let's just do it all fast let's go ahead and black the whole thing out well you will get a heavy amount of paint here Abaddon's base paint so it's got a decent amount of weight to it then let's just go straight into the blue pull that up have a little bit more of that straight into our lighter color then let's jump way up here to the top all the way okay we did that real high reflection and we clean the paint off the brush and while everything's still wet just slowly feather it all together then we just let that rest you can see we can get that same effect you know pretty fast I don't quite have the same dark darks because some of my lighter colors got into my darker colors so here what I would do is I would just let that paint dry we just let it rest out just like we always do when we're in a situation like this and that same dark glaze let's take that nice black color we had a little Abaddon black we'll thin that down and then we're just gonna pull right down toward the shadows clean the brush on a wet piece of paper or we eat the paint if you're that kind of person then we just feather the end a little bit and boom now we've got this wonderful reflection once again same second verse same as the first we knock out our our edge and make sure that's well defined because it really is the edge that sells it make sure that rivets caught and there we go we got this nice smooth thing pretty fast again we could have done that with loaded brush if you're more comfortable with that the other thing you can do here is in some places you can have secondary reflections so for example you know here I've got the lighter color up top getting caught if you want to get a little if you want to get a little exciting you can take a little bit of say the dark sea blue over here and we could place a little bit of that actually down here on the bottom to just kind of show a little bit of a counter reflection for a secondary reflection in the black grab a little bit of that white we'll kick that up just enough so it's visible we get just a little bit of this sort of L-shaped reflection in here so it goes from like dark to light to dark not necessary but it can be an interesting way to add extra tone and then you know we go back into the black we kind of smooth out that edge around that just that kind of thing little bits of color that you can make it visually interesting you can do all the same thing I just did over the black itself so for example here we could do the same thing with the layers you know we could take from the blue itself sorry take from the blue itself we could say okay this area is going to be highlighted so we're just gonna lay down a bunch of that blue then we could just go straight through and wet blend it through all of our layers grab a lighter one grab a lighter one grab the lightest right and just work our way through that whole lot and then just same thing again kind of bring that all together and we can jump into that black at the edge throw a little version of that on there and then just bring the two together and then again we just let that sit and then we glaze and boom we'll be good to go so there you go you want to do the more detailed black it's you know what what you end up getting is a slightly richer effect they don't look terribly different at the tabletop level you can do all this with the airbrush like I've said many times like I could go back and just do this whole thing I just did with the airbrush like tiny little colors and stuff like that so I would recommend that you use the way that you're most comfortable with but I hope that gave you some good ideas for how to get this shiny black armor that's the kind of things that you would see on you know on Sisters of Battle or on the Warriors of the chaos gods on of the undivided right and so on and so forth so I do hope this gave you some thoughts there as to it's not hard it's often just time-consuming the I want to review just the biggest things about this the biggest deals are one don't limit yourself to just white as a highlight in fact avoid it if you can look at something like your glacier blue or your salmon or your ice yellow or the maggot white I used in the speed version whatever some kind of light color with with an actual color in it some light hue that actually has color to it right remember that for your surface to appear black 60% ish of your surface has to appear black or near enough that the human eye will believe it is right so you and you have to you can push that around with things like these glazes where you get that slowly slowly slowly tinted down glossy black will appear darker than matte black so you can hide a little bit of satin or gloss in the deepest shadows and any blending technique will work but you're going to need to blend you saw hair how on this side I just did traditional layering and these two I did wet blending and now they pretty much look identical it doesn't matter which way you blend it just matters that you do that because you need to run that whole damn it in a very short amount of space if you don't want to go all the way up to white as I did here like if you don't want your people to be this highly reflective let's say you want to stop a little shy and you often see this in a lot of the box art where it'll only go up into sort of a blue range and then kind of like almost a mid-blue and then stop I would still run this whole thing just like I did and then I would actually just glaze back over it so for example we could take a little bit of our our dark sea blue here work that down to a glaze and then we can just go over everything right and then bring that back into tone and that can be a nice way to kind of bring all your colors together it will also make sure that look there's nothing too out of whack it'll it'll bring all your blends together and it'll soften that reflection it'll make it look like it's more of a subtle more matte surface that's just kind of reflecting a bit of color so there you go that's painting shiny black armor I do hope you enjoyed that if you did give it a like subscribe for additional hobby cheating in the future if you've got questions or suggestions for future topics feel free to drop those down in the comments but as always I very much appreciate you watching this one and we'll see you next time

Lie from Palo Alto, in the heart of Silicon Valley. It's theCUBE, covering I-O. Brought to you by I-O. Now, here are your hosts, John Furrier and Peter Burris. Okay, welcome back everyone. We are live at Silicon Valley. This is theCUBE for special broadcast with I-O Conversations, an event here on Sand Hill Road in Silicon Valley at the Rosewood Hotel talking about data centers of service. I'm John Furrier with Peter Burris, head of research with SiliconANGLE Media, also general manager of Wikibon Research. And our next guest is Chavez-Tan, structure research analyst. Welcome to theCUBE. Thank you guys. All right, now you can break it all down. What's going on in this hosting, rack space when private, Amazon's killing it in the cloud, enterprise customers looking for cloud-like infrastructure. We've talked about power earlier, being a design factor, data at the center of the value partnership. What's the research show? What's the landscape look like? Yeah, no, great question. I think it really is summed up by data center assets that used to be operated by enterprises on premise are starting to be outsourced into data center providers that are, that's their core competency, which is operating, owning, and deploying data center capacity. So what we're seeing from the cloud and data center side is that because of the growth in what we call the massive scale cloud providers, so the Amazons and Microsoft Azures, the Google Compute, the Alibaba's of the world, that's really driving a lot of demand for data center capacity. And the reason, you know, on one end it's driving growth on the data center side. On the other hand, you're seeing it cannibalize a lot of the growth from the traditional hosting providers, so the shared hosters, the dedicated hosters, the managed hosting providers. A lot of companies now, especially the startup community in Silicon Valley, they're not jumping into, you're not going through the traditional kind of process or routes. You don't go from shared hosting to dedicated servers and then kind of migrate from there. They're just skipping straight to the cloud and then you're kind of reflecting that on the total growth of Amazon. And so what companies have been doing now is pivoting to the point of where they're saying, okay, we can't really compete on economies of scale with Amazon and Microsoft and Google. But what we can do is we can build almost like a management orchestration layer on top of Azure, on top of AWS and say to the customer, hey, you may not have the competency or the know-how to architect and operate an AWS deployment, but we know how to do that. Let us take care of that relationship for you. And in essence, they're reselling AWS, but they're adding their own flavor of what they call managed services. And for Rackspace, like you mentioned, they built their business on this concept of fanatical support. So really adding this fanatical support layer on top of that massive scale public cloud. This reseller is the second time I heard that. We also heard the first kind of inkling of it in the VM world when VMware kind of got out of the cloud and people were saying, hey, they should just resell other people's cloud and they got the VCloud Air Network. So obviously the trend is where do people fit in? So the industry vendors that provide the resources have that dynamic. And the other one I'd like to get your thoughts on is the global aspect you mentioned, Alibaba, right? So you're seeing the regional deployments of data centers on cloud providers. How does that all shake out into the landscape, the global impact? Yeah, I think you're seeing companies like Alibaba where they've traditionally focused on the Chinese market. They're growing so fast and they're getting a lot of international traction that they're starting to expand outside of China. So you're seeing a wave of Chinese companies, we call them BAT, Baidu Alibaba Tencent. They're really starting to really kick the tires on international expansion and they're expanding outside to Hong Kong, to Singapore, to Southeast Asia, to Australia and all the way to the US West Coast where we're seeing pretty large deployments from these guys. So that's kind of, I think you're seeing the genesis of a lot of these companies that have built their businesses on the cloud and that's really resonating with the new wave of businesses that are entering the market. A lot of it is built and architected to take advantage of the cloud. And the beauty of that is because you're not having to deal with legacy infrastructure anymore. It's this kind of gradual and conservative shift from a CAPEX heavy model where you own all these assets, you own all these buildings to a CAPEX light model where it's all about pay as you go. I want to only pay as much as I use and that's, I think the allure of the cloud and I think why you see companies like Uber, a get-around, a lift. I know that that's why they have been so successful in Airbnb. It's because they're really leveraging on that model of pulling resources together and optimizing it and also delivering it in a platform that makes sense and seamless for the end user. And the cloud native trend, you mentioned the Silicon Valley, starts skipping right to the cloud, I'll also call cloud natives. Interesting. And with that in mind, are you seeing anything on your radar and the research side that talks about the inter-cloud trend? Because we're seeing a lot of the big traditional vendors like VMware, UMC, HP and whatnot, trying to find a management orchestration layer as you pointed out. But there's a new dynamic around the inter-clouding and it's a lot to do with like latency, right? So like that's at workload related. So are you starting to see that conversation in your research or is it just simply still a horsepower economic model? What's your status on that? Yeah, I think latency is a big issue. Performance is definitely a key component of every driver when they choose to make a decision. Where do we deploy our infrastructure? Who do we deploy with? They're always looking at how does that latency affect, you know, from the point of their end users? How does that affect the end user experience? So I think latency is one factor and then another factor that you're seeing globally is data sovereignty. So having data housed in country or within a certain region, it's also a big factor in the incident. I mean locale, I mean having locale issue. That's a tough one. Balancing locale with performance around latency is then, you lose locale if you go for the latency. It's interesting. Are we gonna, how many net buyers of technology will that are big in 20 years? Ooh, that's a very, very broad question. And you know, I mean, I guess the simple answer is we don't know. It's such a, I mean the reason why I think that you're seeing a lot of new companies enter the business as well as consolidation happening at the same time is that it speaks to the diversity of workflows that you're seeing coming out from the enterprise, from the SMBs, SMBs. And then from that you're splitting it by verticals. So the financial services vertical requires a certain type of specification, certain type of service versus the oil and gas versus the e-commerce sector. So I think because there's so much diversity in terms of the workflows and applications and the requirements that each of these companies have that you're gonna see, still gonna see a large pool of IT buyers, IT strategic decision makers. I think in, you know, five, 10 years ago someone was saying that, you know, in 10 years you're gonna see two providers.  And I don't think we've seen that resonate so far. I mean, we're continually seeing so much diversity. I don't agree with that. I think it's not gonna be a winner take all. I think it's gonna be a lot of different players. But I guess my question would be for you on your research is, generally speaking the internet has always been about connecting, right?  But the question is, is the current internet infrastructure, global infrastructure good enough to handle cloud at scale? If you have Google doing their thing, you have Amazon doing their, building their own clouds, if you will. Is the general other infrastructure even good enough around security, around latency, around just provide kind of the needs? Yeah, I would say the answer is both yes and no. And I think that's very market specific. So for Asia, for example, where we've done a lot of our research on, if you compare a market like Singapore to a market like Indonesia or India, I mean, it's night and day, the infrastructure quality, the connectivity, the robustness of infrastructure, the ease of doing business, the political climate. I mean, you name it, there's so many factors that tie into deploying and operating a business in various regions of the world. I mean, the US market, we're very privileged to be in a roughly homogenous regulation zone where you go from California to Vegas to the East Coast. I mean, it's generally governed by the same federal laws whereas in Asia, you're dealing with completely different governments, completely different languages, cultures. And so it's, I would say infrastructure quality to, like you said, deploy these sophisticated cloud workloads. I would say it varies on a market by market basis with obviously the US being, I think, one of the most mature, the most mature region in the world in terms of adoption, in terms of maturity. And that's interesting because markets like Asia where some people are saying they're maybe two to three years, maybe five years behind the US, they're looking at what's going on in the US and thinking, okay, how do we adapt to what's coming out of the US? And so in the US, the trend has been, we went from shared hosting, dedicated servers, VPS, you know, co-location and cloud. Whereas in Asia, they're just jumping straight from on-premise straight to the public cloud. I mean, they're skipping all these intermediate steps because they're seeing the growth coming out from the US, the level of innovation and they're thinking, we're going to adapt to this new wave of technology coming out from the US. And they have demand too, so that's a big driver too on that side with this overall connection. So is that the biggest way to explain that you're seeing the Asia Pacific and the rest of the world is just more cutting edge cloud? Or how would you describe the difference between APEC, Asia Pacific, and then the rest of the world relative to cloud and on-prem? Yeah, I think that's closely tied to mobile adoption and the level and the rate at which a lot of these emerging third world countries are starting to really adopt smartphones, internet.  Those markets are still very young in terms of the level of infrastructure quality, the level of development. And so you don't see a lot of growth from these markets yet, but there's always the potential when the population gets more and more savvy on the tech side. But markets in Singapore, Tokyo, Sydney, Hong Kong, I mean, those are very, very mature markets with mobile adoption rates north of 100%. So I think you're seeing Asia as this kind of wild, wild west almost, that it's where a lot of these, a lot of companies like IO, for example, are making a bet on Asia. Goldman Sachs is making a bet on Asia because they're seeing the new wave of growth. Whereas mature markets, growth has relatively hit a point where it's predictable. I mean, it's very transparent. And frankly, I think companies are always searching for new avenues of growth in a much bigger and much larger, addressable market. Especially the Chinese market. But are Asian markets as conducive to sharing data as they are to sharing technology? That's a great question. And you mentioned China because China has been, you know, kind of the elephant in the room in Asia. You can't talk about Asia without talking about China. And I think everyone has, their views on China, everyone has expressed the challenges of doing business in China because of the way the government regulations are. It's a very close market. So a lot of our research, a lot of our time has spent focusing on, okay, China is big, China is growing. And it's tough to get in. People have said that. But what about the growth coming out of China? What about these companies that are, you know, growing too fast to really contain within mainland China itself?  And it's really, how can Asia as a whole, as a region outside of China, better prepare themselves and better adapt to all this kind of growth coming out of that mainland market. So you don't think it's gonna be as, you don't think it's gonna be much of a constraint? You think that the adoption of how data is used and intellectual property is gonna be conducive to growth? Yeah, I think for open markets like Singapore, Hong Kong, Sydney, Tokyo, I mean, those are mature technology markets. And my experience in those markets have been, there's still a level of close perspective where it's a bit closed, not as open and transparent as the US where you're seeing a lot of US companies really partner and collaborate here. But in Asia, it's kind of, they still have their inhibitions, right? They still have a legacy mindset of, okay, this is my company, this is what we do, we're gonna protect our mindset. And also in Asia, you tend to see more of these providers that are kind of a one-stop shop for everything. They do hosting, they do design, they do kind of everything. Whereas in the US, it's more, you get more specialty firms, like an IO, we only do co-location and data centers and we do it really well. And in Asia, you have companies like Telcos that do everything, they do everything from SMB, telephone, VoIP to all the way up to co-location managed hosting cloud, so. What is the IO data center's story? What are those guys doing right now? Could you take a minute to describe their strategy, what their approach is, their differentiation and their value proposition? Yeah, absolutely, I can speak to kind of what I know from my time spent with IO. I've primarily spent a lot of time with IO in Singapore because we've done deep dives into the Singapore market. And I think with a lot of international expansion coming out from the US, that's generally customer-driven. And so the main driver for IO deploying in Singapore is driven by, it's one of its key customers, which is Goldman Sachs. I think it's publicly disclosed information. So I think that's the way that a lot of firms have attempted to enter Asia is by following a strategic customer over and then growing from that base from then on. I think IO is a really interesting data center company in the sense that it's able to marry both the software side and the physical asset and make it work seamlessly as one. And so you have the IO modules, which in itself it's kind of a revolutionary concept for the data center industry that's used to traditional real estate, raised floors, high ceilings, the traditional structure, whereas IO came into the market saying, hey, we don't need that type of design. We're bringing prefabricated models. I mean, quality control is there because it's all prefabricated in the factory and shipped to the customer. So you don't have to worry about a ton of moving pieces. So from that standpoint, I think that's where you see a lot of the efficiency that IO brings to the market. And on top of that, I mentioned the software layer, which is the IO kind of OS, right? The DCIM data center infrastructure management tool that it's layered on top of their physical asset. And I think that really gives the customer a sense of, okay, what's happening within that module of mine? What's the power consumption? Like how much power am I actually drawing? Am I fully utilizing my asset? And so that type of transparency really resonates, I think, with the customer base. I think it's been a big driver of why IO has been, I think, so successful both locally and internationally. Shubhish, thanks so much for spending the time here to come on theCUBE. I'll give you the final word. Share your thoughts on the biggest changes that are gonna be happening over the next year or so in your mind on a global scale relative to hosting, data center on premise, and the prospects of cloud. Yeah, I would say the biggest takeaway I would say is, can the public clouds continue to grow at the rate and the pace they're growing? And I think AWS is growing at a $10 billion annual run rate pace. Can that pace continue? Because a lot of the growth in data center space has been coming from these top four providers, Oracle, AWS, Azure, Google Compute. And so what would happen if the public cloud slows down or there's some security issue that inhibits growth? I think there'll be something to watch going forward. And also looking at also one thing to keep in mind is the ecosystem that's developing around the public clouds and how that's evolving the way IT is being consumed and delivered. IT is a service. Thanks so much for spending the insight. It's theCUBE live at the Rosewood Hotel in Silicon Valley on Sand Hill Road. This is theCUBE's special presentation with IO Conversations. Data center as a service event here at the Rosewood. We'll be back with more after the short break. Founder of Silicon.
