What's up everybody? Welcome to SPM Buzz. My good name is Miss Kethingi. Today on Buzz it starts I'm hanging out with a beauty queen but before I introduce her guys make sure you subscribe to SPM Buzz. We are heading to 200k subscribers and I mean just bless us with that subscription. Now I'm hanging out with a newly crowned Miss USA Kenya. Hi. How are you? I'm doing good. How are you? I'm doing great. Good to see you. How do you feel? You know just being a newly crowned queen? I definitely feel nervous. It's a lot of responsibility but I am definitely ready for whatever comes. Yeah and I'm super excited. Oh nice. Now I know you started modeling a while back. Did it ever you know hit you or did you actually have an agenda or a goal to become Miss Kenya USA? I did. I did not at first but I did meet this girl at Africa Fashion Week Seattle one time and she told me about Miss Kenya USA and I was like oh wow that looks really interesting so I told her you know when the what's it called the application is open please let me know and she did and I definitely applied. I think I was one of the first people to apply. Yeah so I was really excited for it but yeah I did not think I would win. Yeah at first I really did not think I would win but it took a lot of preparation. Yes but no no let me ask you because there are those few aspects that you are looking at you're like hmm I might not take this one home what are those aspects and is there something that you had to work on to probably get there? Yes there was the talent section so I was a bit nervous because I was first I wanted to sing but I had not sang in almost two years so I didn't want to choose that as my talent so I had to work for it I had to do a poem so I had to get some help from my friends and be like hey guys like you know I need help with this I do not know what I'm gonna do but luckily they helped me out and got it figured out but I also wanted to include my modelling into it so yeah and it went pretty great so far so yeah yeah I'm glad. Now you know people are asking themselves how did you get to the US at what point did you go there what did you go to do there I know you grew up in Embo but at some point that's when you left to the US please tell us how did you get there. So my mum actually ended up getting married and that's how we ended up going over there at first my mum was a bit hesitant about us going but she went there first to see how everything was and then she came back for us yeah. At what age were you then? I was 11 yeah. How long ago? That was about eight nine years ago yes yeah so. So I'm not sure if at the age of 11 you really experienced the culture shock did you and how was it? I did experience it it was very hectic for starters because when I moved over there I went to an all-white school yeah so I was the only black girl yes um I think there was it was not a big school but maybe 500 yes yeah so I was the only black girl it was very scary but how was the reception when you know you started school there? So actually a lot of people wanted to talk to me because they were like oh this is someone you know from a new place so they wanted to ask me like hey how's Africa how's Kenya? At first they thought that you know we have lions walking around everywhere and I used to tell them like no that's not how Kenya is I mean some parts that's how it is but not everywhere yeah and I had to kind of explain to them that yeah you know we have actually have buildings yeah they did not believe me they did not believe me yeah I actually had to show them photos and everything but other than that I experienced a little bit of bullying just because obviously I was the only black girl there although I thought about it I thought about you know hey yes I may be different but you know it's okay it's okay to be different it's okay to teach people that hey yes I'm you know I may look a bit different but I'm still a human being so treat me as such yeah but I try to avoid it a little bit in some cases but in some cases I was just like you know hey guys like no that's not right that's not what you do yeah wow yeah how was the conversation now with your mama at that time because I'm sure you'd go home and tell her you know what is going on what would she tell you so at the first three months I actually my mom had to come back to Kenya from Dubai while we were heading over there she had to come back to Kenya so I flew from Dubai to America by myself so I was there for three months alone yes I was alone for three months so during that time with school um I would not be able to talk to my mom on the phone so I would just talk to my stepdad and be like hey you know people are having people are treating me so differently what should I do at first I feel like he did not feel he did not know how to kind of navigate around that but um I kind of had to do it by myself in a way so I had to grow up really fast yeah yeah I get it now let's talk about you know you've been there what is one thing you miss the most about Kenya like I say the food definitely I miss the food I miss the fries because they taste a lot different here I feel like they taste better other than that I miss my family yeah because when we left Kenya um it was only my mom and my sister and I and we had to live there for multiple years for about two years without seeing any family so it was really difficult coming from a place that I'm surrounded by family I'm surrounded by you know friends um what's it called extended family as well it was really difficult to navigate around that but um I definitely miss them and let's see what else um other than the food family my friends yes it was hard to make friends at first yeah yeah but you know also some people really wanted to know you know Kenya and everything but some of them were not too accepting of that so it was difficult to navigate around friendships but I eventually no look at you now now let's talk about you know the career that you took um modeling because I see you've always had passion in this what is the biggest stage you'd say you've been so far I would say the biggest stage would be Miss Kenya USA and also LA Fashion Week first of all yeah those are the two biggest stages I have been yeah getting this crown that you have today what is going to change definitely um bringing awareness to my platform which is mental health with an emphasis on special needs so bringing awareness to people with disabilities um showing Kenyans that you know it's okay don't treat someone who has a disability differently treat them like as a human being like it's okay just because they have that disability does not mean that they're to be shunned away you know from society and things like that yeah I know this initiative is very close to your heart because you have a sister who has a condition how is your relationship with her and especially now because you know you aspire to dismantle and inspire people in that direction my relationship with her is phenomenal I would say um actually she lost her speech when she was about three and a half years old she was about to be actually it was three weeks before her fourth birthday so it was very difficult because I mean she was my little sister we used to laugh together play together you know she was a little bit of a bully though but she was super sweet at times but after her losing her speech it was very difficult it was in a way kind of meeting a new person um and kind of learning how she is you know it was very difficult because I did not understand I was so young my mom didn't explain everything to me because I mean I was very very soft so if anything if someone was to tell me like hey someone died I would literally cry for months and months but um for her it was very disartening um it broke my heart I would say because it was like losing my best friend but she was there she was there but it's like she wasn't her in a way so it was it was hard let's say but I have over the years I have learned to you know understand her interact with her in other ways she uses an iPad actually to communicate because she cannot do sign language so I mean I think that would be something that would be really cool to even integrate in the school systems here because I don't think some of them have have that most especially in those special needs schools I don't think they do so yeah being someone who has dealt you know with um a person who is close to you with this condition or disability rather what are some of the special cares that you'd probably point out that you feel they need probably someone who is watching can you know use them to their family members who are probably in the same situation um the special things that I would I would say for starters patients yes it requires a lot of patience um sometimes you would definitely feel like you're so irritated like you know this the child is not doing the something that you want them to do um and you will feel frustrated you will feel very frustrated but I would say a lot of patience and a lot um a good team behind you support system um one thing I would say my mom was really strong really really strong to have our family behind her you know but other than patience I would say just love it takes a lot of love it takes a lot of love to give out to children with special needs persons with disabilities as well it really does but if you if you're open minded as well um it's something that you know would really help out yeah yeah it definitely would yes what is the biggest lesson you've learnt from your parents that you know you apply in life today um a biggest lesson that I have learnt from my mother um definitely gratitude yes a lot of gratitude for each opportunity for my sister I mean if it weren't for her I most likely would have never competed for Miss Kenya USA or even taken my modeling so seriously um because of her I really took it really took it to heart to push on that you know to go for it and be like hey I need to get to a space where I need to be able to speak about uh special needs and mental health because a lot of people suffer you know from it and most especially in Kenya it's it's a topic that's kind of a taboo yeah um and from our experiences here as well it was it was pretty hard yeah okay now we are of course looking forward to seeing what you're going to do on this project and of course we're there to support you as well thank you so much for talking to us what are we expecting to see now that you're in Kenya for the next couple of weeks what are we expecting to see from you so in the next couple of weeks I do have other interviews um I'll be on 10 of 10 on Friday so that would be cool um also I will be I will be going to the organizations that I'm working with and actually experience it first hand see what they need um and I actually do have a GoFundMe page as well um it will be up and running by this evening yes um just needs a little bit of technical difficulties but yeah we'll get that fixed yeah it will be live yeah it will be on my Instagram page yes right please tell you know our people where they should find you on social media um so on social media you can find me on Instagram Shalene Kage Reki um and on Facebook you can also find me there Shalene Kage Reki as well and TikTok Shasha Kage

bhai


Hi, good morning and welcome to today's products and focus we will see that the US theory has now broken through 18,000 112 now we're looking at the next potential resistance at 18,289 Now we actually had a much higher value there on Friday got pushed right back down again already this morning We've had an attempt to push on higher But it does look that 18-1-1-2 is going to act as a potential support level which could be Interesting point to to get involved if you think that the US markets are going to benefit from this weaker dollar at the moment Otherwise if we break below 18,112 you'd be looking at a level closer to 180 to 18,000 which also coincided with that 21 period SMA Most of the technicals are actually neutral sands the MACD which got a bullish crossover and the moving average is well the 55 period moving average quite far away But it's the 21 that's in there and play right now Moving on to the UK 100 comfortably in an all-time high territory bulk above 7,000 for the first time there on friday You would really need to get The budget price projections out now to look for the next potential support of the next potential resistance level In fact, if I just go ahead and look for that right now Take this point here and look for your for your big breakout Uh And we could be looking at level we're actually be quite quite close to one right now that would be 7,044 followed by 71 50 as the next potential Resistance levels based on the Fibonacci price of tensions So Moving on to japan 25, which is more than halfway now to 20,868 Probably 20,000 is going to be the next big level That a lot of the financial papers will talk about for japan Dollar yen having reverse course slightly as a dollar has taken to fill up the gas slightly 120 as for dollar yen is right now And as I said, we're not that far away from breaking 20,000 after we do that the 20,860 is the next potential Support level resistance apple. Sorry all the technicals are massively over but But we'll probably get to 20,000 at some points And um moving on to this dollar yen position. You can see the move that we've had It's not really a great trading opportunity on dollar yen right now versus some of the other markets where You're still looking at 119 being support 12187 being potential resistance. We're trading below the 21 pure sma 55 pure sma It's bouncing right at 119 level and the other technicals are still relatively neutral to be completely honest So once the dollar decides what's going to do is and Are we going to see the dollar go sideways now? Or we can begin to see a little bit of a winding off that long term longer term dollar strength As people start at price in a september hike rather than jim So moving on to both texas cruise more news out over the weekend OPEC will not be cutting production alone. Saudis are Standing by their position not to reduce their output either The dollar this happened with dollar strength and it helped to cradle get a 4 rise on friday. It's down over percent again Today, I believe and we are looking Yes, one point one three percent down And we're still looking at 43 29 has been a potential support level moving on to gold gold is still benefiting from that from the interest rate differential between the dollar and september We are now looking at the 21 pure sma and potential resistance at 1886 This level could be a bit tougher for it to break, but we do have a cross of the mac d And we've obviously got Reversal signals or buying signals in our science unsolicited stochastic So certainly maybe from the technical perspective couple that with a bit of Middling us mac with data if we do get some this week that could help go to test 12 18 But I do think it's a relatively quiet week for economic data this week So moving on to your dollar. It's been all over the place looking like it got higher This morning We're now on the right side of 107 86 just only on that level We're treating it towards the law of the day But it certainly had a had a big move to go a little bit higher with 111 being the next potential resistance. So The us dollar is certainly taking its bit off the gas So finishing up with gbp usd Had a very strong day there on friday. We've had A bit of a reversal for today at the bottom of this range again One spot for a 13 is a potential support level death cross and moving averages We've not yet got this cross over here in the mac d But that might come soon whereas you do have some buying signals in the rsi and it's a little stochastic right there Again any meddling us data should be a big shot on the arm for gbp Against the dollar which could then retest one spot 51 85 So I come with data wise. We do have a home sales and cpi Flesh we data for the eurozone today at three uk time On tuesday, you've got a whole host of pmi right across the globe. You've got uk germany eurozone and the uk cpi and ppi rpi consumer price index for america as well So actually tomorrow promises to be A very interesting day and because that's inflationary related People will be keenly watching it for the us But I think most commentators will be expecting some of this data here to be quite weak Especially considering the big drop in crude oil that we've had over the last number of months Most of the forecasts are not going to be anything that special for inflation data As we are in a deflation mode So as ever keep your eyes on the chart forum making sense perfectly going forward and join me again tomorrow to find out what happened next


All right, in this video, I'm going to walk through my photo sales online for the month of October. Now October wasn't a great month for me. I'll kind of walk through, talk a little bit about why, and then also talk about what I'm going to do about it, if anything. Okay, now my number one site in October was Deposit Photos. Deposit photos, you know, this time last year was typically in middle of the road site, but I am seeing it much higher recently, which is nice. Now one of the reasons that is is that $30 would not have been the top site a year ago. So $30 was kind of more middle of the road, but because of COVID and some other reasons I've seen kind of my photo sales go down, and especially last month in October, not a great month for me.  Now, second on the list is Shutter Stock with $28. So if you take a look at it, you know, the revenue per download was about the same as Deposit Photos. Deposit Photos was a bit higher, just looking here at 56 cents, as opposed to 50 cents, but I got more downloads on Deposit Photos. Next on the list is Adobe Stock. Again, Adobe Stock around $21. Again, a higher revenue per download, but less downloads. So it puts it down to number three on the list. Next on the list was Pexels. Now Pexels, I didn't have a great month, but again, because those are donations, they really go up and down. I got seven donations. The average donation was about $1.90. And just to give you an idea, I always like to say this, I get a lot of questions in the comments. I get about 100,000 downloads on Pexels every month, right? And that ends up equating to seven donations. So you really, if you do want to make even a bit of money on Pexels, you really need to get a lot of downloads for very few donations, but they do add up, you know, it's coming to the end of the year. And I'm pretty sure that when I do my year end tally, Pexels is going to be in the top three of the revenue for the year, because although it hasn't been high, it has had some high months, but it's been pretty consistent throughout the year. So it's going to be interesting when I do that at the end of the year to see how much I made from each site in 2020. Next on the list is 123RF. Again, it kind of is middle of the road for there. And then there's FreePick. Now FreePick has become a bit of a disappointment for me. I got invited to FreePick by someone who contacted me through seeing my photos on Pexels in the summer and they uploaded my free photos. And the first couple of months, FreePick did really well. And I was pretty impressed because I didn't have a lot of photos up there. I just had like a couple hundred free photos and I was getting, you know, between $20 and $40 revenue a month. And so I was really excited about it. I decided I was going to upload more photos to FreePick. I talked about it on this channel. And since then, it has been a disappointment. You know, I've been had a really hard time trying to get my photos up there. You know, the upload wizard is not intuitive. It's very hard for me to figure out what to do and even get the photos posted. Once you do upload your photos, it takes weeks or sometimes even over a month for them to get approved. So you can upload your photos. You end up waiting a really long time. You know, compared to other stock sites, you know, a really slow stock site typically would be a week. Right? So when you're looking at FreePick, sometimes making you wait a month, that's a bit ridiculous. And, you know, to top things off, I just got an email actually today from FreePick seeing that they have rejected my resident certificate, the one that they accepted back in June. So back in June, they asked me for a resident certificate for tax reasons. Now I've got my photos on many different stock sites and no one has ever asked for a resident certificate. Okay. So I didn't know what this was. I reached out to FreePick support. I said, you know, what is this thing? They sent me some examples for what they were looking for from Canada. And one of them was like a tax form. So I had that form and I sent it to them and they approved it and everything was fine. And now four months later, when I'm actually about to reach the point where I can get a payout, they send me an email and say, no, we've now decided to reject your tax form and we need to send you a new one. Right? And now I got it and obviously no examples, no explanation. I got to go back to them and say, okay, what do you want me to send them? I think what they want me to do is go to the Canadian government and get them to send me a document that says that they have a tax treaty with Spain. And, you know, looking at it, $5 in revenue a month, like is it really worth all this trouble to go through and do that? So again, not happy with FreePick right now about the middle of the road, you know, I'm kind of getting a bit fed up. If it doesn't go up, I'm just probably going to abandon it and not upload the rest of my photos because it's so difficult, take so long to review again, bit of disappointment. But I guess that's the thing with stock sites, right? Like, you know, I have this list here, I've had, I've uploaded my photos to double the number of sites that I'm going to show you on today's list and most of them don't work out. But the only way to figure out the good ones in my experience is to go through, upload your photos, see what happens, and that's how you learn. And that's one of the reasons why I started this channel is because I have to go through a lot of effort to try to figure out which of these sites are good. So I wanted to share that with you so people, you know, getting it started in this won't get frustrating to start with the best sites because it does keep changing all the time. All right, next on the list are, you know, pretty standard can stock photo, Pixabay, Dreamstime, and going down the list, the total for the month was just over $100. Now, that's pretty low. If you've watched any of my other videos, I've been averaging about $200 a month for the past number of months. So having $100 is a very low month. I think it's one of the lowest months of the year. Now, there's a couple of reasons this happened. You know, one of the reasons is a lot of what I do with my photos that I upload are photos that I take on vacation. And I'm in Canada, so a lot of my vacations happen in the summer. So typically the photos that I have are often being used by travel companies, and there are a lot of summer shots. So people are going to be more likely to, you know, download my photos in the summer. That being said, I do enjoy snowshoeing. So I do have some snowshoeing shots, which should sell well this time of year. I've got one shot of pumpkins that typically does well in October. But, you know, again, it's not a great month for me. So typically I see October a bit lower. The other thing to note, though, is that I didn't get any big sales in October. The thing with my stock photography that what I typically see is that you have the microstock sites and the microstock sites, you'll get a large number of downloads for a low amount of money. So you get 50 cents to a dollar, but they can be pretty consistent. Every month you're going to let make a little bit of money from the stock sites. But then there's other sites or other types of sales even from the stock sites that will make you more money. So if you if I get like a fine art, you know, print download, that can be like $50 for one download. So oftentimes I get one of those a month and that will kind of bump me up, right? And it's always a different site each time, but I get one of those. I didn't get any of those different, those types of downloads in October, which is one of the reasons why it's lower. And the other thing is just selling your photos online. This is what it's like, right? This is one of the reasons that I did this channel is because it does go up and down. And it's really, you know, I don't get upset when I have one month or I don't get disheartened when I have one bad month, because I know the next month can be a good one. And because I'm recording this super late, it's already the end of November, I know that November is actually going to be a really big month. Like there is one site that's not even on my list, didn't make a single sale in October. And in November, I made more money from that one site than I did from all my other sites in October. And that's the way it goes, you know, you make more money some months in other words. So I know that November is going to be a good month and it all averages out over the year. So anyways, hopefully you found this useful. I had to do this one pretty quick today. So I did it all in one take. Hopefully you don't mind some of the flubs. But that's my October sales. And I will try to do this earlier in the month of December. So I actually had a really good November. And there's actually a lot more interesting things to talk about in my November sales report. So I'll be doing that in a couple of weeks time near the start of November or December. So you can take a look at that. Anyways, best of luck selling your photos online.


next talk is about to begin I hope everybody's enjoying themselves just a brief reminder there will be a final competition grand finale at 430 in the main auditorium there we have some posters up for grabs if anybody's interested with this let me pass the floor to Martin Straszki with his talk on the state of Firefox and recent project development please welcome Martin hello I'm glad to be here I'm Martin Straszki and I maintained Firefox on Fedora and rail so if you have any question about Firefox on Fedora so you can ask me also if you have any question during my talk you can just tie your hand and ask me so let's start first I will talk about Firefox in Fedora and then talk generally about Firefox at Mozilla what's new and what's going on and so so let's start well Firefox on Fedora the recent recent work we do is the GTK 3 port as you may know so we already have Firefox on GTK 3 in Fedora but upstream is still still fixing some problems so upstream is going to switch to GTK 3 at 40 46 version hopefully and because there is early wild development of the GTK 3 there are many changes many new features and it's still not not completely clear also the next next big thing is Wayland which is the new display server for the start I have some some demo of GTK 3 Wayland and Firefox the Wayland is actually a new display server the Firefox looks looks just the same on the Wayland like on XS so I have some something else and this is the Broadway because GTK 3 could have more than just one backend you can display the GTK 3 application to for instance web page so which I'm going to going to show you I hope so so I just started the Firefox you seen a thing because it the output goes to the web page I hope it's going to run yeah so so you could see yeah so we have this is what this this one big Firefox and this is Firefox inside it it's just application well you can see this is just for comparison this is just g-edit well you see the GTK 3 is is pretty powerful so like the last so so this is generally our work of we do in Fedora and it's kind of future of the Firefox I hope so well you know this is just the plain web page well so so this was Fedora and I'm going to talk about general Mozilla so so as you may notice that that this is not Firefox is not going so well as Mozilla would like so Firefox losing market share the Firefox OS is not so great as it was expected and Firefox for under it is not also as successful as Mozilla would like so what to do with with those things what improve there is new new initiative from Mozilla and its name is great or dead and it means that every feature every part of the Firefox should be really really wonderful or it will be removed so just some kind of back to the roots just to have some some really good parts and everything else should go away what is great I hope great is going to be the multiprocess Firefox which is the electrolysis project add-ons user lily likes add-ons tools for developers privacy browsing and profiles there is also the dead things which are going to be or maybe removed this this what is that it's this is really a discussion there is nothing definitive Mozilla doesn't say this is dead and let's remove it it's more about discussion they are talking about and try to find what user lily like and what is problematic the panorama top groups this is feature which is really expensive for development it has bugs and it's not very successful the another thing is this full full teams it means Firefox is going to remove or change how how the Firefox is the user the user interface how is it managed so there's not going to be some some change there also those things pocket and hello those two things are going to just two add-ons not not the main part of Firefox also the xp com Zool and binary add-ons those like those are going to be removed great for developers and the developers and Firefox firebug next the next fireball firebug is going to be based on the developer tools developer API from Firefox so you know Firefox has its own API for or interface for the developers tools web developers for instance here it's it's look similar like firebug you can inspect elements the website and so so so fireball firebug is going to extend this basic tool and and just improve it and work on top of it well great for users the new feature activity stream this is like active history you can see visited pages play movies from the history and so this is just new feature which is coming the multiprocess Firefox private private browsing the private browsing should should block the tracking tracking elements which is used for add-ons even in the normal normal mode not only in the private mode and Firefox account this is a new new new way how to manage profiles I think the plan is to just just have the information online it's I think it's quite similar to fleet commander it's not the same but just similar to fleet commander from Fedora just to have online online online profile and save it story and so yeah the multiprocess Firefox this is I think the mine mine thing in the future as you can see there are two two processes one one process this is the chrome process the mine process is rendering the user interface and the order page and there is the child process content which compose the web page and draw the web page to share shared memory add-ons are going to run in the main process and there is inter-process communication between the main mine and the child process you know from already do that does that and there's there is slight difference between Firefox and Chrome because Chrome has for each tab it has one process but Firefox has one one process for all the tabs it should save memory and should be quite more efficient I have also demo of that so there is a nightly build of the Firefox I have three pages here it's already multiprocess so I will open here the process manager and there is process name web content and it actually compose the page so I will kill it and wow so the content is gone but the Firefox itself is still running so can reload it well assume as my thing as you may think this is really big big big change inside for Firefox so everything has to be quite quite updated so this is also the main reason why why there is so big change in the add-ons because the add-ons has to be already updated for the electrolysis project so Mozilla also does other changes in the add-ons like there is in Mozilla introduced the add-ons signing you know everything every add-ons which official Firefox installs should be signed by Mozilla so there is a there is a controversy that Fedora doesn't like it Mozilla once did once it for the official Firefox and minor reason for that is windows because on windows user user are affected by many many malware and some some add-ons which they don't like and also also there are new interface web and web extensions which should be compatible with bling and Chrome I think and Mozilla is also removing the Zool X become binary extensions because it's really difficult to maintain everything for the new releases if you have new releases you have to maintain the old old thing and it's difficult it's expensive so this is the reason why those things are going to be removed well I think this is pretty much everything so if you have any question I will give you the mic okay so what are the plans for GSS API authentication like improving that because there's been some great stuff from the free IPA team and the IDM team at this conference and they kind of want better support in Firefox just as do mean Kerberos basically yeah integration with Kerberos or because we got some really cool free IPA stuff for web apps and it kind of sucks in Firefox well the Kerberos thing I actually I don't know but if Red Hat wants it we have to just write it and get some review upstream so so Jenny I think I think Mozilla is not against it but we need to just implement it so about but there is a problem that it doesn't earn well in the main process so it has to be in in extra thread and this is I guess a bit complicated but well I think there is no no strong movement against it so there no no I think they Mozilla just doesn't care about it so yeah yeah yeah we need to do it yes so so next section I would like to ask about HTML video hardware acceleration but are there is any kind of support or attention to improve it because many sites switch from flash to HTML 5 video but I noticed that it increase a lot of CPU consumption so well I was thinking about the you know the codec from Cisco or just just some general codec or you mean the linux or yeah what would be basically the best way how to make sure that when I'm playing videos through Firefox are there is not so much high CPU usage as it is today with the current standard well it really depends which platform do target with it because mainly Linux yeah well well on the Linux I think the the best way is to use the Adobe plugin but it's disabled so you know the Google Google plugin Google format the VP is is not very efficient and hardware codecs are but are not allowed so you don't have good choice here but but sorry but I'm not really expert in the video video playback so I don't have fairly good good question for a good answer hi do you have some internal information about the project server and the do you think that it will the Firefox will be the internals will be replaced with project server or it will be the different project for the whole time yeah unfortunately Michał Stankiew who is expert on the server he didn't make it here so but the project server is not going to replace the whole Firefox but it going to replace only some part of the Firefox only small parts I think the first replacement is going to happen soon some subset of the page composing is going to move to the server but it's really only only smart parts of the Firefox are going to move to the server so it's going to be in the final it's going to be some some composition of the old Firefox and old code and the new rust rust powered servo actually I tried to prepare some some servo some some servo browser but it's crashing on my Linux so so I'm sorry but I don't have demo of the server for you hi so first thing first why did you kill Firefox OS because I loved it but there's not a real question the real question is I saw from the demo that you made before that if you want tab crashes it brings all of the crash the tabs down right so is that supposed to be improved later and split into different processes or the plan is to always have all the tabs being handled by a single process yeah that's a good question and Mozilla is there is no technical reason to have only one one process for all tabs actually it's a Mozilla once because it's simple to have just one page and one process but Mozilla wants to have more memory efficient way to have one process for more tabs so if there is a reason to have some tabs in one process and some tabs in other process then Mozilla could do that easily so I think it's it's possible to have it well it's not I cannot do that you mentioned that panorama tabs are you mentioned that panorama tabs are going to be killed because of some issues I never had an issue with it and it's one of the reasons why I'm preferring Firefox yeah the panorama tabs is from from information I have is going to move to sub to I don't know it's not going to be my part of Firefox but it's going to move to just add on and maintain aside the browser I'm just curious do you know about any known box with this feature no no no I I don't know is there any plan to improve the integration between Firefox and Plasma 5 you know you know kitty kitty well I know there is no maintainer of that code so you know generally Mozilla doesn't care about Linux desktop they don't have money to invest it to do it and they don't have users Linux is just one percent of all users so there is no resource so if you if anyone needs that so he or she needs to read the support for it yeah if I remember well you said about Firefox for Android isn't doing very well in terms of usage do you have any numbers for that sorry I do have any usage numbers for Firefox on Android no I don't have numbers the problem on the under Android is that you know the Firefox is growing on the Android but not as fast as the whole market so it's behind the market and this is the problem yeah because it's not growing faster than other browsers there it's not it's not the general general fire but it's behind the expectation on the Android I was just gonna ask it also about GNOME integration because plaza was mentioned before and now with the fact that the themes are getting killed off means we can't even have a look that even resembles like a desktop so it's gonna look alien compared to everything now well actually the desktop you know there's a problem that you know the GNOME team the plug-in well it's well yes I think the GNOME team wants this plug-in to be default in the Firefox right well but it's difficult from the maintenance site to update it for each release of the Firefox yeah I know I made the theme so yeah so it's really yeah if there is some security update we need to release the Firefox as fast as possible and I understand I was just talking about the desktop integration of the browser it will look and feel alien completely now that there's not even a possibility of like someone adding it you know themselves later on so I guess there's really it was just a follow-up point that's all okay sorry just because we talked about video acceleration I was wondering I know there was a patch set using g-streamer are we using g-streamer to do video decoding on Linux well unfortunately g-streamer is going to be removed or is also removed and ffmpec is going to instead of it okay yeah I think I heard about this but yeah it's a bit disappointing yeah because there are lots of lots of bugs reported about the g-streamer there are lots of crashes a full full bug zealot so and we don't have resources to maintain the g-streamer on the Firefox okay good luck with that good luck with other framework regarding the Firefox on Android I have a question whether anybody's going to improve the memory consumption on Android because this is a big minus the Chrome yeah well I think it's early early problem there and Mozilla Mozilla is tried but I don't have any news about so so so I just don't know about the Android so I know Mike Humney from the beyond he works on that and but I don't have any any numbers but any further info about it well if those are all questions so thank you and enjoy the conference


I actually remember quite clearly the first time that my dad and I both realized that we were focused on the same thing. We were on our annual ski trip together. When he was asking me, you know, what are you looking at these days? What are things that are interesting you? And I said, well, actually, I've been spending a little bit of time recently looking at Bitcoin. And he said, oh, that's really interesting because I'm actually running a big research project. My dad's an academic author, consultant and so forth at the University of Toronto looking at how new technologies are enabling new forms of global problem solving. And one of the technologies that we're trying to understand a lot better is Bitcoin. And so he asked me, would you be interested in participating, being an author, or at least running one of these research projects? At the time I was working in a financial services role at the Investment Bank Canada Court, dealing in markets. And so the idea of an emerging market, one that didn't exist only a few years prior, really fascinated me. So I agreed. So throughout 2014, I worked on this project, which eventually led to this report called the Bitcoin Governance Network, which argued that in order for Bitcoin to reach its potential, we needed non-state, non-corporation-based governance models for helping to scale Bitcoin in order for it to actually fulfill its promise and fulfill its potential. That research actually led to other research, which we did together, which eventually became basis for a book proposal. So we decided, you know, there might be an opportunity here to take our findings and explore this topic much, much deeper. In 2015, I quit my job at the tender age of 29 to do something I never done, which is to write a book with no idea of, well, what was going to come afterwards? Certainly many of my colleagues were confused. They thought I was nuts. They thought the idea of quitting this high-paying job to do something like write a book was the height of insanity. There have been tons of difficulties along the way, you know, when we were met with hostility by many people in the business world. A lot of folks thought that crypto was just bad and that it could only cause trouble, but there was a part of me that felt unfulfilled and felt the need to sort of chase this dream. And as they say, when you're offered a seat on a rocket ship, you don't ask which seat you just get on the rocket ship, and that's what I did. Working with my dad was an absolutely fascinating experience. You know, I was someone who spent their whole career working in finance. I had done some writing, you know, emails, but nothing close to the kind of in-depth analysis and real thinking you have to do when you write a book. I think also he found it very valuable to have someone who could explain some of these more, you know, arcane financial subjects to him. So for us, being able to debate, critique each other's works, I think led to a really fruitful collaboration. Fast forward to 2016 and the book came out. And as they say, better, lucky than smart. It was right around the time that a much larger audience was trying to understand what this was. As a result, the book was a big hit and it was translated into, I think, 19 languages and sold over 500,000 copies and led me on a journey that I'm still on to this day. For about a year, I traveled the world giving speeches, traveled to every continent except Antarctica. And that's amazing. People open my eyes to new perspectives, new global points of view. The great things that I've taken away from this whole experience has been that my relationship with my dad has gotten even closer. We were always very close to be clear, but to add this dimension to that relationship where you're actually working together has been an absolute joy for me. And I think he would say the same thing. And I look forward to the next chapter and the next chapter after that in this evolving crypto story, which is my life.


How are you doing? What's the biggest difference between 8-day career and a year of line work? Definitely experience, you know, just feeling more comfortable and being more confident out there and trusting in my skills and ability, really. You know, just like I said, just a year of experience being an older guy now and, you know, being able to teach the young people on the team that just came in. Different even out there in training camp? Definitely, you know, I just come and do my job and just hold myself accountable for what I do. How important was it to have an off-season for you?  How big was that for you? It was real good. You know, last year we just straight into it, had to pick up on the playbook virtual and, you know, come out here and play. But now we get to be face-to-face with coaches, get to, you know, go through things, hands-on with the coaches and help us, you know, learn faster and get things done quicker. You have to just go and play.  Treatment, you know, taking care of the body and just, you know, coming in every day with a level mind and just coming out here to compete and get the job done. When you go back with the last year's game, what do you like, what do you not like and what do you want to improve on this year? You know, last year I liked everything. It wasn't really nothing I could talk about, but, you know, this year just moving forward. You know, new staff, new coaching, new everything and just coming in, just trusting the system like we did last year and just, you know, applying everything when we come out to work. Do you feel like confidence is higher? Yeah, confidence is higher. For sure. Alex, you got anything I can call? I did, yeah, the interception and half-breakup earlier. This kind of was, how do you feel out there? I can't hear you. Just how are you feeling out there as things are getting going and you're getting the interception, half-breakup, just how are you feeling right now? Yeah, you know, everything is good.  So, finally got my hand on the ball today. Looked for many more during camp for myself.  Yeah, you know, just smooth transition just from last year to this year. Like I said, new plays, new coaching staff. So everything is a little bit different just coming in and buying in each day.   They get my best. They give me their best. And we just, you know, keep competing each day. What does that mean for you to say, hey, why do you do this? Why do you do that? Yeah, you know, most of the times when I get done with them, I always ask what were they were trying to do on this route.   You've got a fast move in here, you've got some just treatment. Do you feel like you've had the unit in secondary and you've had something to prove up?   Just, you know, trust in one another, get the job done. So, I mean, we just, of course, every year we want to get better and put pressure on ourselves, but we're good. How do you worry that y'all are going to be safe? Yeah, savvy. Want to be savvy. Hey, AJ, we care about Coach Pease's scheme and all that. What is it from your perspective?  What's your biggest point on the new scheme and how you fit and what your role is? Yeah, you know, the scheme is very user-friendly.  So, we always active in hands-on, you know, and get into the ball.
