Joan asks, did you ever have the privilege of interacting with Satoshi, or some of the first innovators, in the early days of Bitcoin? What advice did they give you that propelled you into Bitcoin? Thank you. I never had any interactions with Satoshi. By the time I got involved in Bitcoin, Satoshi had departed the scene. I did interact in the very early days with a few of the core developers.  Some words were exchanged, then some apologies were served up, and things went on. At the time, I didn't know who the important, let's put it within quotes, or committed long-term core developers were. I was just chatting with some people on Bitcoin Talk, GitHub, and places like that. I got into some arguments. Some things were said that were probably not very wise at the time. I actually did apologize for being a bit too passionate in my argument, toned it down a tiny bit. That was it. No respect lost, I hope. That was my interaction. It's funny that in situations where there are a lot of passionate people who really care about the principles of a technology like this, some of the most common interactions you have are minor verbal skirmishes and debates, which sometimes get a bit heated, because people really care about these details. Those are some of the interactions I had with the early innovators in Bitcoin and the core developers. Nowadays, the interactions I have with the early innovators and core developers are mostly more rare, because they are doing their work, I'm doing my work. Overall, very pleasant and very interesting. I continuously read the development mailing lists, the GitHub pull requests, and issues, both in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and a couple of other projects. I try to follow what the cutting-edge innovations that are happening in my field are. I have enormous respect for the innovators who are working on these protocols. I'm constantly amazed by the incredible things they come up with. Then I have to explain them in my box, which is not always easy. So that's it. My question is, what if this is like a long shot? Yes. We become the mainstream. Oh, yeah. That's a great question. What if we become the mainstream? I think that's extremely unlikely, because that's a generational thing. I think it happens over several generations. For example, I think that, eventually, the idea of free information, access to all information at all times, sharing information, being a content creator and publisher as an individual, and not using an intermediary to do that, is becoming part of the culture of this generation.  You couldn't access information unless you went to a library, and then you only had what they had. So that generation is going to grow up knowing that the generation that still remembers the past is going to die, and then no one will remember a time before the internet. They'll remember it only in terms of a historical documentary that shows funny people with weird clothing, behaving in ways we can't quite comprehend, which is how it always happens. Trust me, this is going to be funny clothing in thirty years. It always is. The bottom line is that with the next generation, eventually, the new becomes normal, the old becomes forgotten. Eventually, you will have a whole generation that is born into a world where banks are not the dominant form of commerce, where being banked is not a necessary gatekeeper to having access to financial instruments, commerce, where people can innovate commercial and financial instruments on their own, and anyone on the planet can do a transaction with anyone else on the planet, instantaneously, without any controls. That will happen. First it will be weird, then it will be normal, and then people will forget the time when that wasn't the case. But we are looking at three generations, so we won't become the mainstream. Are grandkids? Maybe. Just in regards to new success and adoption, are we in the early adopter phase, or are we still in the lunatic fringe? I think we are beginning to touch the early adopter phrase. You may have heard this before, which is, we are not the early adopters, we are still in the lunatic fringe. The early adopters come next. One of the funny things that has happened is that there is a big transition in recognition of certain words. The word cryptocurrency and bitcoin as a brand is now broadly recognized by people who don't understand what it is. They have never used it, they have no interest in the principles, they don't understand why it matters. It is the currency of hackers, drug dealers, and weirdos. Yes, all of that, but they recognize the word. In 2013, if you said, hey, do you take bitcoin, they would stumble over the word itself. Now they will be like, no, we are not drug dealers. Progress! Soon they will get it. But in the meantime, at least they were... I was at a comedy show in Chicago, and just like low-key among the audience, Chicago is like a great area for improv. Just after we did the first event in Chicago, I was at a comedy show, and they were doing this improv sketch, where one of them was pretending to be a hairdresser and the other one was pretending to be a customer getting a haircut. And the comedian being the hairdresser said, so what do you think about bitcoin? And the other person went, oh, I don't know, I don't understand it. And everybody laughed. And I looked around and said, oh, I hope no one recognizes me. I do not want to be invited on stage to try to explain that joke. That was surprising to me. When you say that word now, people recognize it. So the zeitgeist has happened. It's on TV shows. I remember when a single article in a single newspaper anywhere in the world was something worth discussing on Reddit for hours. Now it's on every newspaper every day in 30 different countries. So we keep hearing it a lot. That's a very big difference from actually using it. And I think the number of people using it is probably in the 20 to 25 million. So I think maybe 20 to 25 million people have ever used any cryptocurrency of any kind. Well, that's a very small percentage of 750. I think we're not in the early adopter phase. Still the lunatic fringe. So welcome. Thank you so much.


Item number SCP-217 Object Class Keter Special Containment Procedures Containment areas will be kept behind two reverse pressure airlocks. Chemical shower sterilization, full-contained atmosphere hazmat suits, and 24-hour post-interaction quarantine and testing are mandatory for all personnel entering containment area. Should containment be breached, the blast door for the containment and research area will seal, and chemical agents 0-217-11 will be pumped into the air. Any humans exposed to SCP-217 are to be contained and held for observation. Any items touched by those affected by SCP-217 must be sterilized. Description SCP-217 is a virus, incurable by current means, with a rate of infectivity at 100%. It affects all organisms in the kingdom, anamella, and can be spread via touch or contact with bodily fluids. SCP-217 is very hardy and can survive for years outside the host body. Progress of the infection is very slow, with some subjects going several years before manifesting any symptoms. SCP-217 alters the biochemistry of organic tissue, causing organic matter to rearrange into a form of organic metal. The processes involved with this change are not yet fully understood, but the advanced stages are well documented. The subject will begin to turn to a complex arrangement of gears and clockwork, these taking over for the former biological functions. Advanced stage infections reported to be very painful, but earlier stages are often times unnoticed, with only vague feelings of confusion, insomnia, and joint stiffness. Hearts are replaced by gears in small tubes, joints by gear networks, eyes by structures not unlike primitive hand crank, film cameras, etc. SCP-217 shows first on the outside of the body and all creatures except mammals, and mammals at first converts the internal structure before manifesting outside the body. This can cause those infected to go for a very long period of time without knowing of infection. SCP-217 has even been shown to totally convert the inside of the body before showing any externally visible symptoms. SCP-217 has infected several major metropolitan areas in the past, most notably ██, the mental state of those admitted to advanced stages of infection have been shown to be much diminished. Subjects respond in a repetitive fashion, are very dull and mechanical in nature and easily distracted and confused, and appear generally irritable when faced with new problems. In addition, research on a fully converted brain has ██, document number 217-6, Notes on Symptoms. Subjects infected by SCP-217 have at early stages reported no major symptoms, aside from increased lethargy and a general lack of emotional response. Some report a feeling of fluttering or moving under the skin, coupled with a persistent ticking noise. This noise seems most prominent when SCP-217 infects the shoulders, neck and head, however it is audible if recording equipment is pressed against an affected area. Initial infection of SCP-217 is, has already been stated, almost undetectable. As the infection advances, subjects will begin to feel sharp, tearing pain in areas that are being converted. It has been compared to a knife wound or a deep muscle tear, and can persist for hours or several days, depending on both the subject and the area infected. The new clockwork organs appear to tear and rip at tissue for a short time, before becoming fully integrated and settling into the surrounding tissue, and this is believed to account for the pain. Areas infected appear to be metal, mainly brass, steel and iron. Other substances have been reported appearing to be leather, rubber, glass, wood and other basic materials. Despite appearances, it is purely organic material and even carries a subject's DNA. Organs and tissues affected appear more resilient than normal, carrying the same strength and density as the materials they resemble, instead of normal tissue density. Areas damaged repair over time, but as much slower than standard human regeneration. Damaged areas can be instantly repaired by replacing damaged areas with new parts of the same type. Everything has shown that there are no ill effects if parts made from normal materials – steel, wood, leather – replace the existing biomechanical clockworks. Most alarming, people infected with SCP-217 can continue for months, even years, without even being detected. With infection so easy to spread, hundreds could be affected before proper containment could be enforced. Infection appears to spread most quickly in large offices, malls, and other large concentrations of people. Note, anything or anyone suspected or confirmed to be infected with SCP-217 is not to be allowed near SCP-882. Addendum, at this time, cross-experimentation between SCP-229 and SCP-217 is allowed only with O5 Council approval.

Wait to the front, push to the front, force out by side. Harri, yo, let's go, force out by side. Let's go, force out by side on the old footprints. Harri, yo, let's go, force out by side. Harri, yo, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go. We'll recruit D4Parasile in South Carolina, and you have just taken the first step in becoming a member of second, article 91. Disrespect. Sir! Aye, sir! Turn right! Turn right right now! Turn right! Sir, right, sir, force out by side. Once you get inside, you will sit down. And the first row is filled all the way to the back row. Get out of the way now! I'm going to get you! In that nature, you're going to bring it forward. We're going to collect it, do we understand? Aye, sir! If you have anything, like a social security card, if you have anything in relation to nature, you're going to keep it, you understand? Aye, sir! Let's get it along now! We're back, we're back! 24! We're back, we're back, we're back! Get in, get in! One! Done, sir!  Done, sir! Now, what you're going to do, you're going to give 40 inches back to sir. Those words, only those words, then hand the phone up, do we understand? Aye, sir! Go, go, go, go! Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up! Go, go, go, go!  Aye, sir! I'm getting this first row, first row! All you say, I'm sir! Get in, get in, get in! Let's go! Get tight to the right! Move, move, move, move, move, get tight to the right! Let's get right in! Get the footage of five! Three, yeah! What's that man? Haircuts in visual hair, are they more lenient now? Uh, so, recently there was a change, and, uh... I got tighties, I'm out! I got tighties, I'm out! I got tighties, I'm out! The paint will continue screaming, I'm out! I'm out!  It will not be around the chamber, so it's not going to fire yet, make sense? It's just you. So for this, charging handle, and let it go forward, that would be chain-bring around, and that would bring me into condition one. You need to be extremely nice, because you don't know if you're going to go a hundred feet on it, take it! Uh, tower itself. So it would look like this. And that's us! Uh, thank you. That's like an official photo. Official photo, okay. Hi, sir! Green cork! Green cork! Sense! Hi, sir! Then they're going to make their way down the exact same, the exact same way. Ready, step, step together, and they go down one log at a time with their buddies. Does that make sense? Hi, sir! Whether it's a log at the top, or a log that you need to get over, you're always going to swing your legs outwards. I just came outwards, sir. Outwards, sir! The reason for that is that you can be recruits that are going up. Hi, sir! Once you surround the vertical of the wooden log, just like you would on that stairway to heaven like before, we understand? Okay, walk by! Oh, gosh.


Hello foundation staff. Welcome to another episode of Dr. Sherman's office hours where I have a little downtime in the middle of my day. No disasters. We are understandably tests are canceled for their foreseeable future because there is a containment breach in the sector seven G of site 42. And so we are just hunkered down here. And the hope is that barring some power fluctuations, which may or may not occur. We should be fine to have some office hours with the staff. Answer some questions because we are not in the main office. Obviously we have some problems where I can only work with the main chat. So members in super chat questions will be easier to see as they fly by fast. Wow, there's a hundred of you here already. Good work.  That's how we succeed. But other than that, pleasantries aside, welcome to office hours. I see plenty of you saying hello. Hello everyone here. This bacon name body. Hello. The desk has arrived and pro justice will prevail. Director Ethan. Good to see you. Good evening. Luo the lunatic. Nice to see you. Max bot. I'm not showing you my clearance card. It's classified. Suffice it to say it is higher than yours. That's why I'm in charge here. But yes, I've got approximately 30 minutes until the situation is cleaned up. So until then, here I am ask your SCP questions away and I will do my best to educate you. And that as I thought is not functional. So instead I will just pull up the database and the SCP database is at my disposal to answer your questions. And the first question I see in the chat is why is SCP 1471 so hot? Obviously it's because we gave it extra blankets is very warm and cozy. Its temperature is elevated, but it's within safe protocol levels. So nothing to worry about. And we're ignoring any other context you may have meant that in. Lest you be assigned Ketter duty. Dr. Telford, thank you for donating the Cypher as you pause. I'm just going to move over this so I can see the chat better. There we go.  Well, maybe you should not have been hanging out with dangerously warm anomalies then. Learn better. Is SCP 087-1 has a body? What if you put SCP 173 in SCP 087? So first of all, we have throughout our testing not discovered any body to that disembodied face in the stairs. So it is my belief, it is my hypothesis that without a neck to snap, 173 cannot snap and snack. So unfortunately, we will not get that experiment passed anytime soon. Say SCP 252 app? No. No. Loki. Trickster. Person. I'm not falling for that again.  We are smarter than that here at the foundation. And by we, I mean everyone who didn't fall for it, which unfortunately is a rather large amount of them. Am I sitting on the SCP chair? Why that's impossible? It's a pile of mulch because of those bastards at the Global Coalition. So no, I'm just sitting on a regular non-anomalous chair thanks to those jerks. You guys talking about candle Josh? Yes. Yes, we're talking about friend of the channel, candle Josh and no one else. Dr. Telford, thank you for your extra donation to the sci-42 coffers. I heard study and I've discovered he has a body. I, I don't believe that. Not it. How did you get it to reveal a body? I, I beseech you, Dr. Telford. Tell for me a story if that's the case. Otherwise, I think you're just a, just a fiddly foolin. Lawful chaos. Thank you for your first donation to the sci-42 coffers. Make sure to pick up a croissant on your way by the commissary. Hey Sherman, what would happen if the shy guy, 096, I bet it numbers, saw himself in the mirror? Well good news, you got the correct number. 096 is the shy guy. And it turns out that we're not confident that 096 can actually see.  It is highly possible that it never communicates. We believe that it might not actually be sentient or sapient, one of the two. Quick tangent, sentience versus sapience. This is important to know. Google. Let us learn the difference right now on chat for the education of all of you and definitely not me. Sentient versus sapience. Something I definitely know in my years of research at the foundation, but want to make sure that I have very clinical definitions for you all. That is, that is the reason for this. Sentient is the ability to feel or perceive, allowing to think and experience emotions. This would necessarily include consciousness. Sapient is the capacity for intelligence, wisdom and logic, along with the ability to solve problems, learn and understand. This would almost necessarily include self-awareness. So, with that in mind, we believe that 096 is obviously sentient. I mean, it has very strong emotions about its face being seen. But, number one, we don't know if it's sapient. We don't know if it has a higher cognition. We do not know if it can think or be aware of itself. And we also, we also do not know if it can see. And if it's blind, then a mirror is no issue. It can't see its own face, so that's not going to have any effect on it whatsoever. And I'm on the camp that it's probably blind and so mirrors are not exceptionally helpful. That's my hypothesis either way. But thank you for your question. Nick Mormon, thank you for your first donation to the site 42 coffers. Make sure to pick up a coffee in the cafeteria on your way out. Dr. Sherman are toddlers anomalous. There's no way they can be that can and survive that many dangerous things otherwise. I do not understand just slang with them being that can and survive that many, well, and survive that many dangerous things, I know otherwise. No, no, in fact toddlers are incredibly squishy and easy to murder. As we have found in numerous tests with anomalies that we can only test with toddlers for X, Y, and Z reasons. I mean, listen, we have an ethics committee for a reason and it's to approve the ethics of our worst tests. By the way, the likes are nearly half of what our viewership is. So make sure to catch those likes up to the viewer total. Don't let it fall too far behind. All right. The failed Dini. Welcome to the chat. Good afternoon, doctor. I was wondering which SCP-001 proposal is your favorite? I'm rather front of the spiral path. The spiral path is great. Although I think among my favorites, obviously, I'm a big fan of when day breaks. 001-J, the broke God is a good joke, SCP favorite. But then I go with my overall favorite is Lily's proposal. If only because I hope that we are so lucky to have a nice peaceful passing when everything goes down. Your friendly pansexual, thank you for your first donut at the Site 42 coffers. You're helping us make films. We appreciate it. Pick up a, let's say a donut on your way past the Site 42 commissary. Maybe the trees are scream, maybe the trees' screams are just inaudible to human ears. Have you tried something that can pick up a higher pitch than human ears? So here's the thing. We know that all trees scream. We know that the high pitch, the trees scream. We understand that. We have the measuring tools. We can find and understand that trees and grass and all plants scream and feel pain. We are used to that. And if you didn't realize that, well, now you do. That's not fiction. That's for real. Look it up. The thing is that 4521 does not scream. And we know it should. You see the problem here? It's not screaming. And we know it should be screaming. And until it does, we are not going to rest until we figure it out. Thank you for your donation. Do a flip. You said, well, I could flip this pen all day. That's the most flip you're getting out of me. Otherwise, I might alert the rampant anomalies of my presence. And we do not want that. Did you make the trees scream? All the normal trees? Of course. 4521? Not yet. Is it cool that I was you for Halloween? Local crazy man. That's amazing. You were Dr. Sherman for Halloween. I assume it must have been like a lab coat, a Hawaiian shirt, and a pen. Is that what you did? Tell me more about it. That's incredible. That's pictures on social media, hilarity. I need to see this for posterity. Except if it was in public and sharing foundation secrets. If they knew who you were, then we'll have to assign you to D-Class. But whichever way the cookie crumbles in this case. I have a notebook where I write down SCP Wiki entries. What SCP should I write down? You know what? I'm going to suggest number one, because I'm being kind to you. It's short. But further than that, it's just a very good short article that many people should enjoy. And it is... I just got to find the right article. It's in the 2000s. Nope, I got to spell SCP right or it won't come out. Which SCP was it? Because I don't know. It's got to be somewhere. So I'm going to find it because I don't know. It's got to be somewhere. I'm singing this song to distract you from where I am. Looking for the answer. We know that it's an SCP about a car. But I don't know which one. Oh, I've got a playlist of short SCPs. Obviously, it's on the short SCP playlist. Give me one second. I've got this for you. SCP, you are going to... Well, I do that. Why aren't you in uniform? Are you talking to me? I was relaxing. I was in my off time when this containment breach went down. I am secure, contained and protected. The door is shut. The lights may or may not go out due to power issues for the issues that are going on out there. But I am in my casual day clothes, the same as my normal clothes, but with a casual coat rather than a lab coat. I wear Hawaiian shirts all the time anyway. That's just usual. All right, all right. Going back, going back. Where's the song? It's got the song. It's got the car. I will find it. I will give you the SCP to write in your little SCP writing note a book. It's a 2000 and it's pretty far behind. Man, I read too many SCPs, if I'm being honest. This is the way to look at the playlist. All right, all right. The sculpture, shadow present, deceptive snow globe, brevity of wit, while goose chase, head cabinet, red. Girl on fire, half an elephant's face, Spooky-J, love that one. Irredeemable, excellent article, frosty flash, turtles all the way down, charitable clovers, Boardwalk Empire, the gun that never misses, broken good, Dr. Spanko, looping kaiju killing, doomsday, angel's tongue, Russian, the gym luck, that one's mine, ground control, the subject is aware, the tree you cannot climb, a cowbell, Jeff, anomalous typeface, superbestis lizard ever, an excerpt from Goodbye Ghost, just a chair, happy ending, fly by night only, fly by night only. I think it's a... No, no, that's not it, right? I don't know, listen to it. This is the one. All right, so you, whoever wanted to write things in a notebook, if you're still here, because that took me a while, you want to write down SCP-3707, fly by night only. And that is the article you want to write in your little notebook because it's short and it's good.  And let me put back on my spooky background music, because we're not going to sit here in the dark, waiting for this in silence. Come back. There we are, bringing back the database. All right, and I see we have a super chat. Aon, thank you for your first donor of the Site 42, coffers. Welcome to the community. Make sure to grab a crawler on your way past the Site 42 commissary. What is your opinion on SCP-1155? I don't know that one by heart. I'm going to look it up real quick. And after I do so, I'm going to take a slight tangent to get the other time-sensitive super chat. That way I don't miss it while I read this. So, 1155 is loaded. I'll check it out in a second, but real quick, stop by. RT Urako, thank you for your first donor of the Site 42 cause. We're going to make better SCP films and series with your help. Hello, Dr. Sherman. What would happen if you put the gender switcher in the clockworks and put it on very fine? More gender? It would be most gender, I'm sure. But in the meantime, I believe a very fine version of the gender switching stone. It is inanimate, which means it is operational. It's not like throwing a living creature in there which doesn't work. So it's inorganic. You know? I figured it out. So, this is just head cannon. And I believe that 1-1-3 became SCP-6-1-1-3 when it was put in the very fine nadir. I think that when someone decided they would put 1-1-3 into the clockworks on very fine, we lost the very painful, near likelihood of death experience of the transition. But we also lost the ability to do it at will. Because it came to life. It became a spirit. It hunts people on its own now. Ooh. Very interesting question. Racco, good work. And yes, that's a, at least for now, I'm going to simmer on that head cannon. But I think I'm going with putting 1-1-3 into 9-1-4 on very fine, caused it to become 6-1-1-3. And if you're not familiar with SCP-6-1-1-3, trust me, it's got some dark stuff. But overall, it's wholesome. So enjoy that. We don't get a lot of wholesome stories in these parts. Ah. And also, the likes are about to overtake our viewers. So if you're a new viewer, make sure to like, and let's beat that. All right, back to the bottom of the chat. And now, back to my previous entry, which was, we're looking at, what are my thoughts on SCP-115? It is Ketter, it is, is this the violent graffiti? Uh, I say that because it looks like graffiti. Uh, pa-pa-pa. Damaged to surface. Work of street art graffiti, depicting a form of human-eyed creatures, sinewy forelimbs, claw hands, and the head and feathers of an owl. Poses variable, but tends to be a predatory stance, with eyes that appear to track the viewer. Anyone viewing the image directly will experience a compulsion to investigate it. Victims describe a nervous fascination and a desire to move closer. It's going to be resisted with effort, especially if the subject is aware of its properties. If you go in, you will get attacked. So, uh, yes, my thoughts on this are very simple. Keep it in a box. Keep it in the box. Specifically, the disused parking lot, adjacent to an abandoned shopping center, in the redacted city metropolitan area.  And so we do not want it getting out and minor problem hurting people, major problem breaking normalcy. Keep your priorities in order. Ah, good to see you in the chat, Amber. They put me in a box, help. Lizzie, not Lizzie, if you're in a box and we put you there, you're staying. You must have deserved it, because we don't do anything wrong. Nope, not us, the foundation. Not at all, he says, sitting in the midst of a containment breach waiting for the owl clear. Have you tried using a 50 caliber on the tree? I did, in fact, but once again, no screaming. No screaming! Local crazy man, I didn't see that you were a member or if you just became one. Thank you for becoming one if you did. Members, get those sweet Site 42 badges with the finger guns A, as well as the emojis for the channel, which we are still filling them out with our community SCP artist team. We're working on the next five, which are the, going to be SCP anomalies. So if you want to help us get more slots for emojis, make sure to become a member. I have my own personal ID. The coat had the SCP logo on it, and I learned how to pen flip. Plus, my eyes were bleeding. I could show you on Twitter. Local crazy man, tag me on Twitter. I want to see that. Why were your eyes bleeding? What Dr. Sherman anomaly had you do eyes bleeding for your Halloween costume? Are you predicting a terrible future for me? I'm hiding from a containment breach right now. I don't want my eyes to bleed. I prefer it when they don't do that. Dear God. Sydney Swope, thank you for your don't know to the Site 42 coffers. Can I use SCP-113 to reverse SCP-686? I don't know, 686. So I'm going to pull it up in the archives real quick. 686. No, don't search the current page. Go to the new page. Skippy, don't you fuss with me right now. SCP-686, it's milk bottle. It's very containment-pilled. This is the picture for those who are curious. SCP-686. Infection is not virulent. Virulent is a word I know how to say. Opaque white liquid, suspension of lipids and proteins, indistinguishable from an ordinary high-grade dairy milk without detailed analysis. There are certain subtle differences. It makes you milk. As in it makes you make milk. It makes you milk, and if you are not milked adequately, they develop memory glands. The development will diverge from normal human growth patterns. Instead of having a single pair of breasts, it will begin spreading down the front of the chest and abdomen. You will have 6 to 8 pairs of teats. A human at this age can produce upwards of 40 liters of milk per day. This is the maximum extent to which the disease will progress in humans. That's... So, number one. Anyone in Foundation staff who refers to SCP-686 as the multiple mommy milkers anomaly is getting suspended. Number two. No, I do not believe that 686 can be counteracted with 113 because that's not a gender thing. That is... a whole other animal. Holy soy sauce. Your lucky number is the SCP you got to fight. Okay. I will be worried about this. As I go to... while I go to look up my lucky number as an SCP, I'm going to point out a... tegu plays. Sherman, I need your opinion. Clef versus Sherman. Oh.  I do... I am a lover, not a fighter, and I am a lover of science and nothing else. Ergo, I am not a fighter. Clef and his whole shotgun fetish are... I'm staying far away from that one. Uh-uh, not a chance. So my lucky number is 13 as in the unlucky number. And so that means I have to go to SCP-013 and that is a blue lady cigarette. Subjects who consume the contents of SCP-013 through inhalation will begin to perceive themselves as a specific unidentified woman. Subjects who describe the woman to be aged between 25 and 35, standing approximately 1.6 meters tall with an estimated weight between 50 and 55 kilograms. Additional reoccurring details include cropped, dark hair, blue eyes, and bright blue lipstick. Immediately after consuming this, subjects will gradually begin to perceive reflections of themselves as having the features of the woman. Um, these alterations are permanent and cannot be reversed. Uh, all changes are entirely mental. The body does not actually change only their perception of themselves. Uh, I see her everywhere, the sad blue lady. I feel like I used to... I love her, but I can't remember. I love her, but I don't know why. She's a beautiful, sweet, and clear, and I don't know anymore. Her favorite flavor. Where did you go? All right, well... I will, in fact, because I don't smoke, take an anomalous cigarette, and break it. Ergo, I win the fight against my lucky number SCP, but be sure to let me know in the chat your lucky number SCPs and if you would beat them in a fight. I'm so shy of 200 likes, so knock it out, just knock it up, make it happen, Steph, break that like barrier. Angel, thank you for being a member. Hey doc, would you be down to hear a small summary of two or one SCPs I've been cooking up? So, while I don't know how I would do that in the chat, because it goes by so fast and comments have character limits, but uh, either way, I'm being serious now because we have so many Psy42 staff, I mean, we have 429,000 people following Psy42 staff. Uh, I cannot critique articles for fans, because I would never stop, and that is an unpaid job and I don't have time to do such a thing. So, I apologize. But, I do suggest the critique forums and I do suggest making friends in the SCP community who are also writers and authors so that you can workshop each other's articles and make them better, because the more art you get the better, I appreciate that. Maybe, once we get past the point where, out of character, I have to have a day job still, I'll start the SCP critique lab show that I used to do and I'll look at fans articles once a week and we'll like look over them and see why we like them and why we don't as a community. That might be something to come back, because that was a fun little concept back in the day. In the universe, my Dr. Sherman, the one I cosplayed as, was in, he made his tree scream. It got bad and the files got classified to the point where only 05 members could see it. I made the tree scream and it caused me to cry blood. I would say that dissuades me from trying to make the tree scream, but it absolutely doesn't.  I played SCP-3008 on Roblox. Yes, there are several SCP-related games on Roblox, I hope you had fun doing so. Jack Lupin, thank you for being a member. I was wondering if SCP-1471 is able to change its body attributes based on its host. So, here's the thing. I believe now, this is just a hypothesis and it was cleverly illuminated by the wonderful SCP Redacted series on YouTube, friends of the channel.  It's not Last Call Films, it's Last Call Theater in LA. Give me a moment, I'm going to look it up because when I look it up, my algorithm won't just show me random stuff. SCP Redacted Nope. You're kidding me. Yeah, this is why you don't name your channel that. It's so bad on the SEO. Come on. Alright, show me videos I've watched. That'll help. SCP Redacted Series? Lot 1 Productions. That's what I was looking for. Lot 1, like the number 1 Lot 1 Productions has a show called SCP Redacted. It's a miniseries. It's on YouTube. Go watch it, go hype it up because they want to make a season 2 when we need to hype them up so they do so because hell yeah. But they have a episode on Malo and I believe there are multiple Malo entities so each person gets a different Malo. It's like Death Note where you get a different Shinigami. They look different because they're different entities but of the same species. I think that's a pretty cool concept for Malo so that's my head canon for now. I've got to wrap this up because it looks like we are clear for the end of this breach. It looks like we only lost 17 staff and 95 d-class. That's why they're disposable. It's fine. So real quick Liminal Amnesia thank you for donating to the site 42 coffers pick yourself up a fruit cup at the commissary on your way by at site 42 and air go make sure before we end this, remember I end up having a lot of powers by reminding you my favorite SCPs in case you haven't been here before and of course they're not my SCPs that I wrote because that would be cheating. Obviously I love my SCPs the best but you can see those at my author page on the wiki. It's linked in the description if you want to go to my beacons link other ways to support the channel are there like subscribing becoming a member becoming a patron all of these things have different benefits so go to SCP 343 and pick the one you like best but without further ado my favorite SCPs are as follows SCP 3999 SCP 3043 SCP 008 dash J SCP spooky dash J SCP 5175 SCP 5031 and SCP 5320 I'll say it one more time SCP 3999 SCP 3043 SCP 008 dash J SCP spooky dash J SCP 5175 SCP 5031 SCP 5320 those are my seven favorite SCPs that I didn't write make sure to go check them out at your leisure check out my SCPs support the site 42 channel so we can continue having fun in the SCP universe and growing big and strong like our favorite large creators to make SCP films and series and games and stuff like that in the meantime I'm Dr. Sherman this has been Dr. Sherman's office hours secure, contain, protect and I will see you in the next video or stream it's been one week since you looked at me cocked your head at the star and said I'm angry five days since you left me saying get that together come back and see me three days since I live in room I realize it's all my fault but couldn't tell you yesterday you've forgiven me but it'll still be two days till I say I'm sorry hold and now I want to hoodwink as I make a stop thing you think you're looking at Aquaman I summon fish to the dish although I like the shellace which I like the sushi because it never touch a frying pan hot like wasabi when I bust rhymes be like Leigh Ann rhymes because I'm all about value burnt campers got the mad hits you try to match which you try to hold me but I bust through can make it break and take a fake I like a stinkin' naked shake I like vanilla it's the finest of the flavors let's see a show because then you know where to go it's gonna go it's still dangerous you'll have to sign a waiver how can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad trying to smile though I feel bad I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral can't understand what I mean well you soon will I haven't even seen a woman mind on my sleeve I history of taking off my shirt and ending the stream


We are now on to our spotlights reminder to keep them short so that we save a full 10 minutes for our deep dive and we've a lot of things to cover. And I believe the first one is a video from Mira. Hello, in today's spotlight, I'd like to show you how easy it is to build new modules for Filecoin Station using our new runtime called Xenia so that you can measure the performance of your peer-to-peer networks and services from different places all around the world. Let's start by implementing the actual probe where we dial a ping protocol send some requests and measure the latency of how long it takes. Then we write this measure data into InfluxDB using their HTTP API for submitting new data and we can use the fetch API, which you probably know from the browser. And then we put this all together in a loop, which choose a random peer, then it measures the ping latency and then records the data into InfluxDB. And then using this data we can visualize what's going on with our network. You can use InfluxDB dashboards or you can pull the data into Grafana. And that's it. It was only 76 lines of code. You can find the full example on GitHub. You can learn more about building station modules in our documentation. And finally, if this is something you can use for your project, please come and join the module builders working group. You can find us on Filecoin Slack. Awesome. Thank you, Miro. Over to Steve. Great. Yeah, hello. IPFS thing is coming up quick April 15 through 19th here in Brussels. So not many weeks away. A few things I want to say. First off, anyone is welcome to this. People working closely on or with the collection of IPFS protocols will be there, including other businesses and for providers. This is much broader than people just making commits in the GitHub. It's intended to be much better than people making commits into the IPFS GitHub org. For example, teams like Saturn, I think have a lot to benefit to share their experience and needs, influence others, get feedback, identify product gaps, etc. And this is more than a place just to present status. It's a place to get work done, especially days four and five are going to be open for workshops and brainstorm sessions. So please be thinking about how you can leverage this event. So far, 10 plus tracks over 100 registered people have registered. You do need to buy a ticket for this. So if you're part of PL Andres by taking but obviously talk with your manager this will come out of your group's budget. And there's you can request a hotel room to be part of the block that we have there's messages and PL slacks lobby there and please do this soon ideally this week or next just to help the organizers out. And there will likely be a pre meeting coming up for those involved from Andres so that we're aligned and clear on what we're trying to get out of the event for ourselves, and for the community. And for anyone watching this that's outside of protocol apps yes you need to buy a ticket but know that there is a scholars program, which offers a fully paid opportunity for individuals from under represented communities are unique circumstances to join the event. And so again if you have a demo you want to give presentation you want to share or workshop you want to host, please submit that through the website that's 2023 ipfs dash thing.io. And you don't have to have all the details named it nailed down but it really helps the organizers get a sense of what what's coming and love to have you be there participate. Thanks a lot look forward to seeing folks soon. Awesome hope to see everyone there it's going to be a great time. Over to Alex for falcon on risk and resolutions. Hi everyone. So the Falcon network has this thing called cron which is a schedule execution of active code at the end of every epoch that is done on behalf of the system so no external party pays for it. This does some your important system maintenance tasks. We started seeing a lot of work happening in this cron so much so that it ended up being three times the entire target total for for an epochs validation happening in this unpaid for bonus extra time execution. So that in perfect block validation times and fast validation is really important for a blockchain networks decentralization allowing lots of nodes to participate and keep up with the chain and chain quality so that the block producers can produce their next block on time. I'm after evaluating the previous tip set. We discovered that this the built in storage market is responsible for almost all of this blowout in chronic scusion. And because it offers a very high level of service to its clients of incremental deal payments every day. This is probably far too much of a service for a built in subsidized thing to be offering particularly since most deals have no payments and so this is a total waste of time. So it's just in time to be able to detect this understand what's going on and propose a fix for Filecoin network in in time to just roll this into our normal release train that the next, you know, the release this will target is network version 19, which the planning for is already already underway. So it's kind of short term fix which just you know divide the problem by 30, and that will bias your good six months and you know at least six months to find a more permanent fixed for this problem. Ultimately that fix is probably going to be removing this automatic payment processing and putting the built in market actor down on the same playing field as all other sort of user programmed actors that could be markets, which won't have access to this chron primarily because it's very hard to find the code that's going to run me. So thanks very much to Kuwuxu and Zinground who did most of the work about this and have been on this problem for a while. I just happened to get lucky and did the little bit of analysis that discovered it was the market actor. But yeah, expect this to be fixed and then Filecoin block valuation times to drop a lot in network version 19 sometime in Q2. Great to see the proactive measuring is helping us take early steps and avoid fire drills. Great, great example of that. We always prefer that versus having to do the fire drill itself. So, I'll mark you guys. Oh, sorry. Yeah. Hi, I'm cool. So small deals, small deals, accepting small deals for storage providers is an issue. It's an issue of scale for for medium sized storage provider, a search provider have to accept on the order of million deals a day to to be able to be able to million small deals a day to be able to fill up their certain pipelines, which is why aggregation services show that sometime in the past within Falcon network, like a shory and the storage. Those aggregation services while they provide the service of aggregation, the client completely currently completely trusts that aggregation service, which which is fine for as long as those services are trustworthy which is the case currently. The drawback of that process is the client cannot prove to cannot verify that their data was aggregated correctly and they cannot show to another party that their data was aggregated correctly within that deal, which is why we created the verifiable the data aggregation standard, which produces proof of data segment inclusion. So the proof of data segment inclusion ensures correct aggregation of clients that are within the sectors and allows the client to show that they can prove to a third party or to the contract on chain, which is an important use case in FFVM where, for example, contract, people might want to pay for storage of small, small deals, but this wouldn't be able to be executed on because very, very small number of storage providers will accept small deals. So the the the standard itself defines how to aggregate the data how to build an index which is stored in inside the sector of all the data that was aggregated within the larger deal such that a receivable is still still possible and very easy. We've reached that design consensus and effort after she was published the go code for proof generation is complete. We're currently working on a solidity verifier for for this proof such that contracts can verify those those those aggregated aggregated deals on chain. And we will be starting integration with that storage soon and most likely with Azure as well. Thank you. Awesome. Trustless aggregation is a big problem and exciting to see more protocol tools for people to aggregate all of the little data they want to store in Filecoin into nice big chunks that make everyone's life easy to work with. So great work. Check out the FRC if you want to know more. All right, looks like we have a video on you can invocation stack user controlled authorization network, you can for sure now has an invocation stack and we put together this interactive observable document so you can explore it in more interactive way. It uses several tools like IPLD schemas to parse and validate schemas on a fly. It uses reference implementation to generate data sets from the code snippets. For example, here it showcase the tasks that this code snippet would generate invocation that it would produce. And you can also go look at the whole car that has bunch of blocks in them like the task we saw earlier invocation that reference it and authorization and authorization itself. You can also go and modify the code rerun it and see how the data sets change. Hopefully this is more fun way to explore the specification than wall of text. I also hope you will join website storage and IPVM into implementing this specification. Awesome to see I'm sure we're going to hear a little bit more about the power of you cans in our deep dive as well. But great to have good explorable specs. Great, great example of using observable for that as well. All right. NFT forever. Yes, hello, Scott here from Philadelphia. So today I'm going to talk to you guys quickly about NFT forever, which is the goal is to preserve off chain NFT data as a public good. And so we're combining a few new things to give a new programmatic deal making flow to taking FEM file coin and Lotus and what what is the the embryo of a FRC standard to create a new programmatic flow so you can see here. What we do is you make a deal proposal by calling a smart contract, you pay a little gas inside the smart contract you have both the escrow, which is the file coin and the data cap itself. That contract then acts as a client and emits an event for a deal proposal onto the blockchain that is picked up by a storage provider running boost. They then grab the data out of the payload from the event. In this case from NFT to storage which is a pre aggregated car file of many NFTs will do the ceiling process create a whole new deal and then verify it back on chain through the smart contract contract and say yes this is the the CID that I want yes this is the deal that I want and then open it up to logic. So what we've done here is actually decoupled who's providing the data from who's providing the funding and the data cap, as well as who is going to be picking up and so you start to see a more organic market marketplace forming there so we're producing a smart contract and we're going to have some storage providers on Pi day to be accepting deals I think we're getting up to at least I think I think we're targeting 70 deals a day. This is the first few weeks to kind of get it moving. There were a lot of people behind this in deal client contract we have multiple product managers across multiple groups, and then big technical lifts from both Lotus boost, and some folks like me. So that is coming everybody has heads down which is why you had to suffer through me. And so that is going out next week. And let's give this guys a good hand and and watch it, accompanying the fvm launch. Thanks. It's exciting showing the power of fvm to take all of these kind of off chain tools and bring them use utilizing this new automation framework so hopefully things get more verifiable, more automated, and just easier to run and maintain into the future as well with programmable storage. Pretty cool. Over to Jamie for the awesome countdown to fpm event from last week. Hi everybody I'm Jamie with the outer core events team here to tell you about our countdown to fpm event, which took place last week on March 1. It was the day before the East Denver conference portion started. It was held in the same venue as the fpm hacker base so it's hosted by the Falcon Foundation so we flipped the venue over for the countdown to fpm event, which was a huge success. There were a lot of comments surrounding the upcoming launch of fpm. It brought in 873 registrations and more than 300 in person attendees, including devs and investors in the audience. This event was streamed on each local TV for virtual attendees and had over 50,000 live stream views, which is huge. It was actually on the third largest audience from all events hosted on each local TV. There were several presentations panels and more from 34 speakers, and there were 18 projects featured in the early fpm builder showcase. A couple of exciting things to highlight from there and fpm team client contract deal making flow is live with a very big thanks to fpm Lotus and boost and dredge teams. They did a demo of this at the event and there's also going to be a recorded workshop shown on scaling ethereum hackathon today at 12 PST on the global TV. There's a couple of the record links there with the recordings to the presentations from the event, the event photos and a great social real they're recapping everything so be sure to check those out. Thanks to everyone who helped contribute to this been a huge success. Awesome. It was a fantastic event. If you weren't there go watch the live stream from from global because there's some good good content. And this was a component of our overall like Andres presence at each Denver, which happened last week in Denver, which was a super awesome gathering of tons of groups working across the ethereum file coin layer to and and many other related ecosystems. We had a kind of different events that we helped host and or participated in. There was a launchpad and fpm social crypto weekend a the countdown to fpm event that Jamie just told us about. There was some awesome dinners organized by the LDR team. And we also participated pretty heavily in the east Denver like event itself, we had a booth bear we had some main stage talks. We also helped judge the hackathon in many different areas, and saw a lot of amazing folks coming by getting really excited about fpm and how they can make use of it. And also engaging super deeply with the kind of new breakthroughs that are coming coming out of the PL network and our ecosystem these days. It's a great gathering point for many different builders from groups like, you know, huddle glyph impossible cloud, and others who are all harnessing some of these new new technology, and so excited to collaborate with them as well.


that the trials last year here, the trials this year, hopefully I make the team again this year and we can do a three-peat on the trophy for the Warrior Games. Staff Sergeant Matthew Benak has not always had reason for optimism. In 2010, I was at the bottom point of my recovery with medication and things like that. I was offered a chance to go to the Warrior Games and I jumped on it. That decision rekindled a decades-old passion and offered an outlet for his post-traumatic stress. When I was actually told that I, you know, had it, I was kind of shocked. It was after 2004, after I had been blasted by an IED, wasn't a direct hit, thank goodness, but it's enough to make you appreciate what you have. What he has here at the Marine Corps trials is an opportunity to continue conquering adversity by once again representing the Marine Corps at the Warrior Games later this year. But if PTSD isn't enough, add traumatic brain injury and hepatitis to his list of struggles. It's a combination that could have led to the worst without the help of the wounded Warrior Regiment. I would probably be one of the statistics right now from, you know, whether it be alcohol or medication, I'd be on that downhill slope or even not at rock bottom. Still, Staff Sergeant Benak takes aim at any target put in his sights. I just enjoyed it. It's something I like to do and I encourage anybody once they find something they like to do to stick with it. Benak's steady hand proves he has Benak for marksmanship and the drive to push forward. Instead of dwelling on the past and what happened to you or what you did that caused problems and got somebody else hurt or whatever, whatever the case may be, this gives you a release and something else to focus on. His life could have taken drastically different turns given his situation, but through the wounded Warrior Regiment and Marine Corps trials, Staff Sergeant Benak proves that optimism is something else. From Camp Pendleton, California, I'm Sergeant Todd Hunter.


All right, let's get started with our second talk and we're gonna learn about some mistakes that people make with their trees and Here to tell us the best way to care for our trees is Dr. Jules Lesnick Jules been the extension forester at NDSU since 2002 He has responsibilities throughout the state and he works on several extension and research projects including a Survey of Arboretum in North Dakota He works on ecological research involving tree ring analysis and he's doing a study involving honeybee use of shelter belts Jules located on the NDSU campus in the School of Natural Resource Sciences Jules, welcome to the forums. Hey, thank you, Tom Common mistakes that people make with their trees. Okay. Let's be clear. We all make mistakes, but let's talk about trees tonight and The first thing I want to say is location location location Where do you plant the trees? Well Make sure that if you're planting near the house, you know and follow That recommendation on how wide these trees are going to get. Okay. This is in South Fargo This is a common mistake. Have I made that mistake? No, I have never made that mistake myself. Oh Maybe Don't plant big trees under power lines. That can be a problem later on Excuse me. My brother the engineer. He did this at his place He put his back to one power pole and lined up on the next one and walk towards it that's where he planted his trees and they were in a nice straight line and Well, 10-12 years later. He realized his mistake Now this one is a Siberian elm that seeded itself in this is a place I rented when I first came to Fargo years ago Nobody planted this nature planted it and I dug it out and it was Three feet deep when I stopped when I stopped digging it was still pretty big there that Root those amazing. I dug it out.  Yeah, it was growing back. So There you go. It was kind of crazy Two years after that, okay, it's growing up and hitting the the roof again So it was just a bad thing. So obviously we're not planting trees that close But keep an eye out for that for trees that plant themselves Location location location. This isn't a mistake people made. I Have to say first of all this presentation was based on another one that I gave and one of the things I noted in that other Presentation was construction damage This is a green ash tree. They're redoing the street down from where I used to live and I found this very interesting They thought you all might find this interesting over there on the lower right you see a Root and you see a valve we see a bone to be see a valve for the water main and What they had to do is they had to cut some roots because they were that close to the water main And it was actually starting to block access. Sorry to that valve That would allow water drinking water or house water to to get to the houses. It was very interesting But you might like to see that Okay, location it includes planting depth. This is a common problem people planting trees too deep Very common in our area. If you look at a tree and a pot Sometimes that tree has been has had extra soil added over the root system over time for a variety of reasons and Often with potted trees, you know, we pull them out and we look at it and say, oh, that's the depth We want to plant it at right? Well, you start digging it out and You take the root the soil off the top and you come down till you find where that first flare root comes out And in this case, geez that was probably five six inches of extra soil on top that had to be removed and Then that identifies the level that that tree should be planted at so make sure you dig down those potted trees and find that flare and make sure that flare is that soil is that ground line These are some Norway maple trees were planted on the NDSU campus. I Think in the late 1990s mid to late 1990s and 2008 I got out there with a colleague of mine Alan Lee from the Fargo forestry department We got out there with an air spade, which is basically a big compressor with a pipe or a hose and a pipe and we blew the soil out and On this tree you could see it was planted way too deep the root collar Is down there on the lower left and then that tree was grafted so it was a graft union and the planting depth was even Deeper than that. That is the tree was planted too deep, you know, it should have been planted a lot higher and One of the things we noticed in this deeply planted tree is there was a root that was starting to girdle the stem that is the stem was growing up and the road was growing right against it and that Root was Compromising the structure of that tree So it had to it had to go we had to take that root out and the tree is doing fine It recovered just fine and is still growing there So if we can prevent this before we plant by removing Sorry by removing those stem girdling roots Look at the root ball. Look at this this root ball before you plant Try to find those potentially stem girdling girdling roots and get rid of them another thing about death is Sometimes trees are planted too deep or sorry Sometimes trees have fill soil added to the top of the roots. So this is spruce tree. Obviously, it's dead or almost dead And this was on a farmstead and I got a call Well, actually as my boss, he says hey, can you go out and look at these trees at my daughter's farmstead and Turns out I was going there about a week later going by there. I said sure I saw this dead tree. Whoops wrong way and And you said it's spreading whatever's killing spreading from one tree to the next down the line And it wasn't spreading what happened was they had built this new house. They added a bunch of fill soil To raise the grade. So it's just outside the red river valley So kind of flat there and they wanted to raise the grade To avoid any flooding issues. Well in adding that fill soil They basically killed that tree you look further away from the house where there was no fill soil added those trees were doing fine And come back to it and it just looked like a telephone pole going right into the ground So planting is one thing It's a common problem Planting or sorry choking trees. This is a huge problem in so many ways. There's many ways to choke a tree Okay West acres mall in fargo west fargo. Well, I guess it's kind of on the border There's a picnic table on the south side and that picnic table They don't want the picnic table to be stolen or moved So it's chained to the tree and the tree is not going to move But the tree is going to grow That's going to grow around that chain Over the chain and the cable that are there and that tree the crown is just in really poor shape Very thin and dying back actually I should go back there and look and see if that tree is still alive This was about three or four years ago that I took that photo How about these trees these blue spruce trees in fargo? This is in july of 2008 and at that arrow If you look below the arrow then above the arrow, there's a distinct difference I I asked my students to just try what they see And they they say there's a color difference. I say, yeah, okay. What is it? I'll below the arrow Give or take it looks kind of a darker green Darker blue green above the arrow. It's more of a yellow green. I say, what about What about thickness or fullness of that crown? Of that crown they say, yeah below that it's nice and thick and full Above that. It's kind of thin and scraggly. I said, yes Let's go look. Let's go look at the stem. Oh, here it is a little bit from a little bit different angle Same tree So we go up and we look at the stem This is what I found is that the tree was being choked off because the strap Was never removed. Okay, they put a strap around each of those trees when the trees were planted They used some posts To make sure the trees didn't tip over but they never removed them And the tree kept growing but the strap didn't and it's choked in the tree And by the time I went back to this tree a year later, it was already gone I had hoped to get a sample of this to keep and using my teaching But it was already removed similarly The burlap that sometimes comes with the b&b bald and burlap trees should be removed now In this case, it's Partially choking the oak tree partially not You would think I would think oh burlap. It's natural fiber. It's just gonna break down decay, right? Well Not as quick as you might think a lot of burlap Can cause problems. So remove the burlap on b&b trees and get rid of it Allow the trees root systems to grow naturally Normally Uh, this was an interesting one this tree just up and died all of a sudden like that This was a green ash tree in Wapiton, North Dakota years ago We're worried about emerald ash borer. We still are So I went out and I looked at it and we did not find emerald ash borer Uh, but I started digging down seeing what I could find in the root system And what I found at ground line and below Is that uh, I found the basket The wire basket that had been retained on the tree is put the tree in the ground basket and all the twine was still there from the original basket So I asked the folks there. This was at I believe at the zoo actually in Wapiton I asked them. Hey, uh, can we remove this? Can I dig this out or if you guys dig it out? Can you keep it for me? So they did And this is what I ended up with I ended up with this massive stump. It was a big tree And uh, the basket was still there Uh, unfortunately The twine was all removed with that process of cleaning it out and digging it up So there were some things we couldn't quite see One thing we did see was the stem girdling root cutting across the stem I don't know that that killed it, uh, but or killed the whole tree But it certainly was causing problems and would have killed it eventually Or at least caused enough structural damage so that the tree likely would have likely would have blown over Uh, it was very interesting this root system because some roots did graft self-graph to each other Uh, but there are also some areas where the roots were growing around Uh, these wires that uh, they weren't growing great They're doing okay, but not great And there's going to be some research coming out out of florida in the next few years That's really looking at this issue a lot more closely. So i'm very excited Uh, to be seeing that in a few years time Okay, just another Another view of that I think this might have been a box elder tree stanley north dakota A lot of people put chains around trees Uh to hold those splitting stems together That's really not a good idea if stems are splitting Uh, if they're small enough you could put a bolt across there But generally I recommend getting rid of one of the stems or perhaps the whole tree And do that when the tree is young try to avoid that Uh box elder and fargo this one is One of the best worst examples. Um, yeah a lot of problems with this tree Um besides it being hollow. Yeah, it's got the strap around it holding parts of it together So anyway choking trees off is never a good thing Chains around trees bad idea, you know short term. Yeah, it might be holding those two together Uh, but in the long run, it's either going to choke the trees or You know, maybe in a windstorm or heavy snowstorm that chain might snap This was an interesting tree in mandan You can see two tone right green darker green on the left later green on the Upper right more of a yellowish green and I climbed up there Find the tree. Let's see what's happening. Yeah on that right hand stem This is what was happening uh nice piece of uh poly rope And a lot of sprouts were coming up below that And above that, uh, it was dying Green ash underland north dakota in may of 2004 We took that rope off. I took that rope off and there was some pruning that Yeah, could have been done a lot better I was curious what was going to happen. I really didn't expect this tree to survive But I went back after three growing seasons in late 2006 I saw this tree was uh recovering That really surprised me. Yeah, there was this bulge in the middle, but it seemed to be getting better And another three years later after six growing seasons after I pulled that rope off It was recovering really well It's amazing I I went back there. I don't know a year or two ago and I couldn't find this tree So I don't know if it's been removed for some other reason Or what was going on, you know, maybe there was some construction, but uh, at least after six growing seasons It was coming back. So that was great. Good to see that Okay, but it's not just trees in the yard There's trees and shelter belts that we sometimes use to this weed barrier fabric. We barrier fabric is great Okay, it has helped uh with establishment of a lot of trees And shrubs that is the survival rate has gone up Substantially since we started using these back in the 90s They're really great for getting more moisture, uh to the trees However They don't break down. We were told by the manufacturers. Oh, this this fabric will break down Once it gets hit by sunlight and uh, you won't have to worry about it control weeds for a few years While the tree gets established then you're done with it Unfortunately, it didn't quite work out that way. Uh, yeah, there are some fabrics that do better than others But a lot of it hasn't worked that way and Sometimes soil blows in sometimes leaves fall on the fabric And eventually the fabric gets covered and we just forget about it And this was a great example from uh, susan muskie down in limore county limore county scd Yeah, this pine tree Started pulling the soil back to get to the fabric and she started pulling the fabric back And it was girdling the tree and I think she got this fabric off in time But if you've got fabric Around your shelter belt trees and shrubs go check it out. Make sure those holes are big enough Make sure the trees aren't growing into the fabric The fabric will kill the tree if it's not taken care of Okay, so those are three of the big ones location The planting depth and choking a tree One of the other things we see every year Is loving your tree to death Um People people say to me. Oh, you must have the nicest trees in your yard And you take care of them and I can say well, I got trees in my yard. Um, I'm hard on them I make sure that those trees are tough I don't baby them So loving your tree to death Often this means too much water too much fertilizer. Uh, if you're looking at growing turf for a lawn Um, and you want turf like you have on a golf course Great, uh, but you know what that might cause problems with your trees. Don't be surprised if it does Okay watering Needs how often do people water their lawns? For if you have a irrigation system, how often do you water your lawn? And for some people Ah, it's once a week. Some people it's every Other day Some people it's every day and other people Multiple times a day Let me tell you trees do not need water that often what they need is they need uh Once a week once every two weeks give or take They need a good soaking. Okay, they need the soil to be moist But not soaking wet Soak it soak it but then let it be Hey, they need this soil to be moist um This dying tree and I think this was mandan as well um I wasn't quite sure what was killed in this tree, uh, but I think it was too much love The turf was just perfect. So there could have been an issue with herbicides That could have been watered far too much. It certainly had plenty of nitrogen in the soil, but it was perfect Uh, generally our watering recommendations depends on the amount of rainfall you've had but with new trees Newly planted trees. I soak them right at planting as best I can, you know, a couple buckets of water get that soil really wet Let the soil sink in and remove any air pockets And then I'll go back Once a week at least for that first week or sorry for that first month And maybe add another bucket or two of water and get it that thorough soaking and then I'll wait every other week Before watering them Okay, I want the tree to extend its roots out and forage for water and create new roots further out Explore a larger soil volume Um, establish trees if we haven't had any rain for about two weeks Then I'll uh recommend watering Now this is in a long situation. Obviously with the drought we've had the last couple years Right now anything they can get is good Is helpful Generally, I don't recommend watering during august or people Ask me about that don't water during august. That's the driest time of the year and in a normal year Yeah, I'd say don't water during august okay hardening Why don't uh, why don't I recommend watering in august because trees have to harden themselves up for winter And hardening starts in late summer the process the trees go through Uh to harden up, you know, you look for those environmental cues Everybody says oh, it's shorter days and cooler temperatures And actually that's that is part of it, of course Uh, but it actually starts with drought stress in late summer that response to drought stress is related To this response they use to harden up for winter and it's actually hardening sorry Drought stress kick starts the hardening process So I recommend don't water Uh in mid august until about mid september And I have no idea why I have this slide in here But there are some pretty maple trees that used to be in valley city before there was some construction damage For construction remove them. Okay, uh begin in mid september. Sorry about that Uh and go until freeze up watering trees Actually after that That's the trees have already started to harden especially the evergreens. This will help them Remain hydrated going into winter and will help to minimize winter injury Okay When trees don't harden up for winter sometimes they retain their leaves all winter that tree didn't quite harden up and uh It had some dieback in the following year. It didn't go through that fall hardening It didn't lose all its leaves held on to its leaves and the had tip dieback So very common. Um Ponderosa pine also had some winter injury That could have been hardened better Okay, the other thing is fertilizer um You know fertilizer Again, generally trees don't need fertilizer in our area. Will it help them grow faster?  Uh, if you are looking to add Uh fertilizers for the trees needs specifically There's a an organization called the international society of arbor culture isa They they recommend up to six pounds of nitrogen per thousand square feet Of soil surface if it's a slow release fertilizer That's a lot of nitrogen. All right. That's a lot of nitrogen and That's really a broad recommendation That they make through all kinds of soil types all kinds of tree species and I just I think it's way too much Um, my recommendation is no more than about one to three pounds of nitrogen per thousand square feet of soil surface Uh per year, but also the timing again not from early july until about mid september and again, this is part of that uh, hardening process If trees get too much fertilizer, they're going to be growing and growing and growing and they are not going to want to slow down for winter and uh, that causes problems and there could be some winter dieback and um And that being said I did a little over 20 minutes Tom Common mistakes people make with their trees. I could keep talking on a variety of things But this is where I plan to cut it off a little after a little over 20 minutes Joel, let me ask you about this. I have a question about arborviety And they want to do some trimming. How do you how can you how severely can you trim and arborviety without harming it? And when's a good time to do the trimming? In terms of trimming, you know pruning right now is a great time to prune um You say I hear trimming I I don't recommend shearing like a like a hedge I'd say be careful of that or cautious with that because that can cause some problems later on in terms of The amount of foliage where the foliage is Uh, the rough rule of thumb is no more than a quarter Of the branch is no more than a quarter of the crown or the leaves in any one year, especially with a small tree And as the trees get bigger That percentage keeps going down So no more than a quarter of it. And yeah, now is a great time to do it. Take care of that Make sure you prune properly Okay, I'm gonna keep it moving here. How about what what do you feel about rubber mats used? Yeah, like to mulch trees um That works Uh, personally, I that aesthetically I don't like them. I know some people do And that's fine, but they they work they work. It's it's a mulch. It's a It's a synthetic mulch, but it does help to control Uh competition and it does Uh cool the soil down So they work just remember to Remove them as the trees get bigger Okay, this person has a bunch of boxed elder trees in a hundred year old shelter belt It wasn't well maintained So now is it better they want to replant some maples in it? Is it better to clear cut everything dead and start over? Or do you just take it out in phases? I'd say whatever works best for you um If you can if you can do it all at once That is if you can do an individual row All at once great do it If you can do two or three rows at once great do it, uh, but you don't just be prepared for that You know that loss of shelter for a few years the more you take out What kind of fertilizer should you use on a spruce tree? Joe? What kind of luxury recommend? I don't recommend any fertilizer Um, I there's enough soil. There's enough nutrients in our soil usually Unless the tree is showing a nutrient deficiency such as iron chlorosis that we Often see in some maples and some birches Yeah, some other species too There's enough nutrients there Okay, and that's includes in planting time too Yeah, should you okay good? Um, okay, joe. Here's uh, this person has a mature weeping birch That the power company Topped now it looks wonky Will it fill in over time? Wonky, um Yeah, that's uh If it's been topped, um, well, I assume it's not gonna Well, I could grow straight up again, but uh Boy, that's that's tough Yeah, I don't know that it's gonna fill back in like you want it to Um, I'm just I can't picture it Especially if it's been topped and if it's near power line So that's the location Elements, you know don't plant right below a power line, huh? Yeah, or even near there There is a certain distance that the power line, uh, the power company can clear Uh on either side of the line. I'm not sure if it's it it used to be 5, uh 10 or 12 feet. I think it's been Expanded beyond that There were there rules of a lot of that So what do you do if you have deer that munched on an arborvite? That's a big problem or you know Arborvite is one of their favorite winter foods if they can get it or if they're hungry They'll they'll go to that arborvite. Uh, it's one of their primary foods If it's uh, it really depends how much of the crown has been yet, I mean if the if the You know, let's say a deer can go up to about five feet and that's about right If the tree is six foot tall and they've cleared five of it that tree is going to be really stressed and might not come back if it's 810 12 feet It has a much better chance And what can you do not a whole lot? Uh, you know protect them in the future Some of those bottom branches might come back or might there might be enough foliage there to support those bottom branches But there might not uh, you may have to just prune those bottom branches off Okay, how about this person? There's a new building a new community center and there's some established trees there And they have to put fill in that area Is there a way to uh, like, um feel all the way around except for near the trunk Uh, generally speaking, no, I mean the roots of that tree go out three four five times the height of the tree There are a few tree species that can take some fill soil a few inches Cottonwoods are actually known to be able to take fill soil the ones that are adapted to flooding And and deposition of sediment They can usually take a bit of fill soil, but something like a spruce tree or a lilac They can't handle it at all Okay, how'd you draw this person?  Uh, generally I'd say leave them alone. Uh, they'll be they should be fine Uh, hopefully they hopefully you won't have an issue with uh hitting them with a mower But yeah, they should be fine When you open up that fabric that weed fabric how far back do you how far away do you open it to just can you just Take it all out or just open a foot of it or As far as you are comfortable with up to taking it all out If you don't if you take it out only this much on either side We'll get ready to take it out some more and in three or four years Um, there are some there is some machinery available. It's been developed in South Dakota That can assist with pulling fabric off It's it's an amazing attachment to a skid steer and basically you you get the You get it on a drum on the front of the skid steer and it just rolls it up Um, it's pretty amazing pretty heavy duty as well though This person has a clump birch with three trunks One of the trunks is way off to the side. Can they tie that trunk to the others to get it to grow more upright? Um You could I don't know that I'd recommend that though Uh, because again, that's that choking potential choking issue a strap would be better on that I Moving a stem is really hard to do unless you're talking the very tip of the tree Um, or side branch that become the leader on like a spruce tree Okay Very tough to do Look this person has a young two foot spruce that has severe winter burn What do you think is there hopes? How can they how can they determine if the tree is going to make it? Uh, basically just wait Let's see. This is the end of march. Wait about six more weeks. You'll find out um Yeah, you can't You can't tell for sure right now You can tell if it's alive or dead by just scratching a little bit of the bark And seeing if it's green or not if it's not green. It's dead if it's green. It's probably alive But will it recover will it have enough reserves to recover? Uh, that's a million dollar question and are the buds still alive if the buds are dead Well, then that's not going to recover To all this person had a trees had a bunch of trees planted And the person who planted left the baskets on should they dig up the trees and remove the baskets? Uh, if you can as best you can you know if the if If digging up those baskets and or digging up the trees and removing the baskets If it's going to cause extra additional damage to the tree Well, then no, um, but if you can reach down and get rid of Whatever you can without cow without causing extra harm to the tree, then yeah, uh, as best you can go for it Okay, joe so like when you talk about You're tough on your trees and you don't want to water them in august But what about uh, you have to worry about the tree starting to grow again in fall Later when you start watering again Nope, nope. They have already Committed to shutting down. Yes, they'll take the water. Yes, they'll be hydrated. But uh, no, they've committed to dormancy How about now like especially out here in the west Is it okay to water a tree now? Well, it's because the soil is droughty Or shrubs it wouldn't hurt although no guarantee it's going to help Um, but it certainly wouldn't hurt right now Okay, that's that's all I can say because you know if you got rain right now It certainly wouldn't hurt the trees and shrubs Um So yeah, go ahead and water if you want we love it if no rain in the forecast Yeah, how about uh, this person has a mountain ash tree that it's losing its bark on the bottom What what's that about? Sounds like one more damage I should be honest. That's what if we say the bottom Um, that's what it sounds like Yeah, I don't know the metal mice. Maybe they love they love those kind of fruit trees Sure Yep I thought you planted trees so the graft is underground Is that true? myth That's an old uh old school Uh mistake you know people That's what that's what we thought that's you know, some of us were taught when we were younger No, that root that root flare should be at the soil surface Right, I mean in fruit trees we'd never plant the graft underground Okay, uh, what else we got here for you This guy got an apple tree that's retaining its leaves What what did we give it too much water in august? Um, it could it could have been going into winter with too much Um, growing too much going into fall without getting dormant enough However, my own apple tree was holding on to a lot of its leaves this year and you know, we had a drought So, um, I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I wish you the best My own apple trees have that problem, but We'll find out Okay, Joe this person has a huge birch tree And a large limb fell off And it caused several feet of the bark to peel as the limb fell and now it's it's been oozing heavily the last two springs Is that a slowed sad death ahead for that tree? Not necessarily. Okay oozing in the spring Trees lose sap or the sap moves within the tree You know, you cut right now is the time to tap sugar maple trees for maple syrup Or if you pruned a maple tree right now, you know over the next two three four weeks You're going to see a lot of sap coming out of it. Uh, birch trees are very similar Okay, it really depends on how much of that circumference and do this how much of that circumference was damaged When the the bark pulled out Okay, if it was A quarter of the circumference or less. Okay, I can't do this with the hand signals anymore What's your conference? Um, if it was a quarter of the circumference or less The tree should recover if it was Now a quarter to a half It's it's a bit of a coin toss Um, if it was more than half of the circumference the way around the tree Then it's unlikely the tree is going to recover Okay, joe. We're gonna have really quick answers here. You got a million questions Um, keep it short and very very short and sweet How about this person's got river rock mulcher on the trees? Should they take away the rock and plant grass there instead? That's their call. I'm not personally. I'm not a fan of rock mulch. It does get a pretty hot Um, and quite frankly it gets under my lawnmower so But your call, uh rock mulch will also keep the lawnmower away from the tree Whereas grass right up to that stem can cause problems your call Or how about just a shredded bark instead? I like bark Just like Todd west He's a bark of file too Okay, here's aspen tree 30 feet from the house Is that planted too close? I would say no really aspen The aspen trees do send up it can send up a lot of suckers But you know that if it's not suckering then And no the roots are going to be up against the house, whether you're 30 feet or 60 feet from the house Hey, how about iron chlorosis in a birch? What should we do about it? There's a bunch of different treatments. Uh, we have a publication on this and issue extension publication And i'll say that every treatment works some of the time none of the treatments work all the time There's a bunch of different options there if you could to try And I wish you the best some of the river birches are just they just can't handle our high pH Okay, Joe, we're going to make this last one. How about what's the earliest time of the year to transplant a tree? And get a guideline for the latest time of the year earliest Soon as the frost is out of the ground you can plant I'd say go for it. You know have fun. That's it's wonderful late depends where you are in the state sometime between the end of september end of october Depending where you are in the state You you can help trees or trees have a better shot at growing


The way you do it is, you just are living life. Your sadhana is to be present and aware of everything you do in every moment. Not just what you're saying, but what you're hearing, what you're smelling. That's the sadhana to try and receive consciously on all levels and to act consciously in every moment. It's a very, very tough sadhana and it takes years for people to even grasp what it's all about. It's the best sadhana that's around because it keeps you in your body. It keeps you present. And yes, there are moments when you don't know anymore that this body is an instrument of the truth and then you tune into the truth and then you know it.


Can start right? Hi everyone. My name is Sianee as Mike mentioned. So once again, how many of you are here for the very first time? That's awesome. That's almost like 40% of you and how many of you have attended a developer meetup in Singapore? Before and how many of you have never attended and this is your first one? Awesome. So my project that I'm going to be talking about is about the developer community in Singapore in general and then I'll be specifically pulling out stats about the iOS community, which includes Swift and Objective-C and so on and so forth. So my day job is a web developer, but more importantly, I also started watching, you know, the iOS Stanford lectures last Christmas and hopefully I can do another talk specifically on Swift in a few months. So this is the project that I'm going to be talking about. It's about some graphs and data and charts about the Singapore developer community in general. But more than that, I want to talk about the project behind it. So about four years ago, I wanted to learn about web development. I traditionally come from electrical engineering, so web development was pretty daunting to me. So in order to find out where are the developer meetups in Singapore, I wanted to connect with my fellow developers. I started a very simple project. As you can see, this is the first Git commit on 28th December 2012. It was a static page. All I did was list out on the left hand side the events that are happening for free on any programming language or electronics in Singapore. And on the right hand side, I would go to GitHub and list out open source repositories from Singapore. It was a static website. Now, all of the design has remained exactly the same over the four years. The internal, the backend has changed. So let me explain to you how that works. Every hour, we query API from Facebook, Eventbrite, and meetup.com, and this is chronologically. As you can see, iOS Dev Scout is right here. So it happens all automatically. And on the right hand side, it goes to GitHub API and queries by the location. If you have put your location Singapore and something else, and also your repository was updated in the last three months and you have at least 50 stars, it comes out over here. So this happens all automatically. And it was just going on and on until about, about 28th August 2014. One of our friends were like, are there past events stored somewhere? Obviously, we did not store because who cares about the past event? We only want to know about the upcoming events. And then he wants to do some maths.  So the result of that was data.webuild.sg. And that's what I'm going to share with you. So what we did was every day we had a bot which was a GitHub user by itself. And as you can see, at 3 a.m., it will basically take a snapshot of all the events in JSON format and all the repositories in JSON format. And it will just create a snapshot of file each. And this was happening over the course of year 2015. And we kind of forgot about it until we came and consolidated. So once again, this is how the repository or rather the API endpoint of repositories look like. As you can see, it has a meta node and then the repositories. And this is the name of the GitHub and then the URL and some information about the repository. Similarly, we also did the same thing about the events. As you can see, the first one starts with iOS Dev Scout because according to time, this is the latest one. And it has location, group, URL, RSVP and so on and so forth. So all we did was collect the JSON files and give about 10 graphs to it. So are you all curious to see how the graphs look like? All right. So I'm going to show you the graphs. In the graphs, you will literally see a story of a very young developer committee. But it is definitely growing and it is growing very fast. And my point of here coming and speaking to you is to join this growing story. So let's start. This is the first one. This is the repositories updated every week. So as you can see, this was started right from December 2015 and you can see it started very low. So only a year ago, there were barely six repositories above 50 stars that were updated. And look at this, like even in January, we had the highest ever. That was 28. So once again, join in and contribute and get help from one another right here and make this number even higher. So let me show another one. This is update activities according to the programming language. So you can see a lot of the programming language and this is where I would specifically point out to you about Swift. Swift is a pretty new language, right? Swift 2.0 came out. And you can already see that 24 times it was updated. And there is, of course, Objective-C as well, which had a lot of updates last year. So as iOS community, it is definitely one of the active ones in Singapore. Next, I would like to point out active user groups. And how many of you would like to attend other developer user groups apart from iOS? All right, so you can go to this page. And by the way, because we query APIs, none of the data here is stale. They are always being constantly updated. So in the past year, if this user group has held at least five events, they are listed here. And I would specifically once again point out iOS Dev Scout has held seven events over the course of the last 52 years. And I have brought Ferrero Rocher here. And I would like to give this one to Mike, because you're one of the co-founders of iOS. And where's Soob? Come here, Soob. So thank you for contributing to the iOS community here. Thank you. That was about the open event. And join in. I know that as organizers, they always need fresh people to be the organizers. So come and join in. Next, briefly, I would also want to point out repositories by programming language. And hopefully some of the people's repositories that come up here are already here, so that I can give more for Roshay to all of you. All right, let's see. Which shall we start? Swift or Objective-C? Which one do you want to see first? Objective-C. Objective-C. Because Objective-C is traditionally the language, it has a lot. So MS Storkid by Mugand Kumar, is he here? No. So these are, by the way, the repositories coming from a developer residing in Singapore, having more than 50 stars and actively updating over the course of the last 52 years. How about Phoenix? It's by Jason M23. Are you here? You'll get a Ferrero Rocher. 52 weeks. 52 weeks. Last 52 weeks. It's not a stale data. 52 years. 52 weeks. Some of us are not born. All right. Lugia Tuei. Or anybody's repository is listed here? None? Come on. Don't be shy. How about Matthew Chiyok? Are you here? Ferrero Rocher. LXID. No, right. Stan is not here, right? Or Matthew Chiyok. Matthew has seemed to be here. Maybe this is where soup can contact these people to kind of come and speak here. Termi or Chronic. Hong Cheng. No, Hong Cheng is not here. Kent? No, Kent is not here. So once again, so well, I missed a chance to give out Ferrero Rocher. But once again, go and check out these repositories. Next up, we also have a map. So if you are a new meetup group, you want to organize, you can go to these venues. And these are the commonly used venues of the course of past year once again. And yeah, the call to action is basically come and organize meetups or join in as open source repository contributors. You can also raise issues here if you find anything about this project or check out other graphs here. We also have things like say, what are, which is the popular event day of the week? Have you ever wondered when, when most events are held? Yeah, Thursday. Why does the organizers love Thursday? I don't know. Yeah, obviously Sunday is the, is the least one and Monday is the least one as well. But yeah, Tuesday and Thursday seems to be a lot popular. So maybe if you want to organize a new meetup group, we should have it on Wednesday or not to kind of balance it off. But yeah, things like that. And lastly, this is a very simple thing, notes.webuild.sg. So if you have any links on how to create repositories, how to contribute to open source or even organize one, send in a pull request or just tweet at us and we will add it in. Yeah, that's it. So my call to action will be like come forward the meetups and join in the open source repositories and contribute. And hopefully we can all learn together as a developer community. Thank you. Do you have any questions? All right, thanks.
