He nuts up at NRSE sports what's followed for all the information But also I really want to know what you guys think about this next matchup because this is a matchup that as far as I know Has never happened or even come close to happening of course foxy from Europe foxy I think the okay hold on I want to say I need to look at the brackets again But I think one of the only international Talents left in the pool, but still in winners so still I mean nobody would be surprised if he was top 8 Nobody be surprised if he's top 3, but he's still one of the lone wolves now I think Tekken master was in like losers of top 24. There are a few other players But against Buffalo who now nobody really knows how well he's gonna do I don't think anybody actually expected him to be able to beat scars especially so convincingly But also that matchup went a little bit differently than we thought it would with the scorpion pick So, you know, I don't know if he's like maybe he's exhausted now. Maybe he's like running on momentum though now So anybody knows I mean I saw a lot of energy dispensed after that win Buffalo really held that win in his heart just because there's some history there between those two rivals and you know He's Buffalo's running hot right now right now. This man is in the zone He is ready. He's in it to win it and I don't think he's gonna let foxy grandpa stop him at all And just just so you know these matches I believe are all to make top 8 Actually in winners. Yeah winners top 8. Yeah So our first player in winners top 8 is gonna be Tweety and then it's gonna be this match And then it's gonna be oh, no, no, it's all the fox was ninja killer and yeah, that was the first one That was the first one. Yeah, and if you guys want to follow along at home Just go to smash dot gg click on CEO 2019 look for nk of course because this is the pro competition second stop here at CEO 2019 brought to you by Roadrunner records and make sure you use the hashtag pro competition And of course that's competition with a K. We're gonna do it mortal combat style here and again big shout-outs to NRS Esports Buffalo foxy grandpa ready to go Buffalo hailing from main Main I want to say the main man in the meme scheme Oh, he's definitely the main man in the main team him ever flap flappy. Sam. You have me Gotta give a shout out to flap the floppy will Samuel Hemmels, but yeah He's he's killed it right now man one match away from top eight winners I don't even know if he's made top eight at a major before it to be honest And I mean beating the combo breaker Champion 2.0 in a match that like meant a lot to him. That's gotta be really good for him But now that he's had so much to prove I mean he's got a little bit more and he's just gotta win one more match It's foxy grandpa. I don't know what his loud experiences like let's see I don't know what anyone's loud experiences like I mean foxy grandpa clearly the loud master No question about it after this weekend here a lot of throw escapes here now The crushing blow requirement no longer fulfilled and so looks like he's looking for them They're looking to tech that back throw over and over again and this time. Yes Again buffalo scared of that crushing blow here. Oh, this is gonna be so much damage here foxy Grandpa looking great, and that is not the punished buffalo definitely walk right here We go. Okay. This could be the start of it the momentum could start right here Okay, he's to it for the normal combo chose not to spend any of his resources or go for the vortex Interesting enough, but boxy we can with that up three and taking the first game very convincingly first round break But it's just a lot of the Z hat stuff like if you can figure oh wow, he's he's airborne. He's airborne. Okay, he knows He knows he's airborne. Oh Great punish. He knew boxy was gonna wake up with that come out does have a very good up three It hits a little bit higher So you gotta specifically look out for it and he is just in the blender right now Getting mixed over and over again and buffalo resorting not to do it foxy grandpa I feel like with the flawless a flawless so we almost had a flawless from foxy round one and then I Almost called him that other name, but buffalo was a flawless round two If he makes top eight I said I would call him I would call him that name So it'll be at the end of this set if anything I'm calling him daddy right now because I'm calling it buffalo looking incredible here riding this momentum against foxy grandpa And he knows if buffalo knows anything he knows how to shut down maniac play here. What a punish Of course that overhead string completed is very very unsafe from sub-zero. That's why most players usually look for the low. Oh That's a great punish on the jump over. That's gonna be a lot of damage not gonna go into fatal blow But it's still available from both players. Oh stops it. Oh Jump over and not win yet But he's in chip situation Buffalo's got one more amplified there it is Incredible there he just had that one amplified ice ball and somehow just made it connect It is so fast and that's specific to this variation the variation that every other sub-zero does not play Buffalo always always about the mix always about I mean, it's just it's so great to be able to shut down projectiles Not only just projectiles, but anything your opponent wants to do at full screen. All right So game number two is still two out of three Landing the first throw sub-zero fourth row granting good. Oh, okay. Oh nice roll through But he doesn't commit to the string so he's gonna get a nice little punish Shoulder check they are great down to from foxy grandpa Versions great great conversion there the Z hat for the plus frames and that's gonna be a big punish Buffalo waking up with that one two and getting that hit confirmed from the ice ball Checking up over and over again. No punish from foxy grandpa But hold on a little counter from Buffalo getting a little too antsy Yeah, there's a few different situations that the buffalo just barely misread or miss time And he's paid for it with his entire life bar that life lead was so significant, but it just ran away I mean start off with trying to punish two one two one two one two, but just barely miss timed it For that full screen amplified ice ball there But Foxy being a little smart there not a counter hit looks like Foxy was trying to jump out of there Great throw escape and a great check with that down three. I don't know what Buffalo's pressing, but it's not the option He should be looking for Wake up down one works and he lands the overhead He's gonna get the side switch not using any more meter actually have any more meter But I'm losing little hits here and there nice duck But not a full punish and the down to crushing blow is gonna be enough with a second down to match point for Buffalo Buffalo keeping it nice and simple. I love that wanted to end the round as quickly as possible Leave it to any kind of chance of execution the overhead Buffalo is in there right now Who said you could react to this every time who said it? Certainly not Foxy, but right now Foxy's got the advantage He's got the okie makes another correct breeze break boys happening, but the plus thing just still there. Oh That's gonna get out of the area. He's gonna get the side switch He needs to keep him in the corner pretty much the rest of this game No, he doesn't have much to play with Foxy grab by with the jump. No throw here It's so scary mixing it up so perfectly come lousy means compliment the throw game so well And that's why foxy grandpa is one of the best But this is a scary situation the threat of either 55 into fatal blow is always there, but that throws that enough Yes, it is all right foxy grandpa taking game number two with the brutal Making a statement here Just making a huge a mess on the floor of Buffalo's sub zero and he's got to be feeling a certain way About it foxy grandpa showing that he's not gonna let that first game shake him Gonna stay calm gonna stay Perfectly poised. Yeah, he's his mix ups between I mean it's so clear to say he's got so many mix ups But he makes ups Mixes up better than almost any other character just between throw and strike because he gets himself so many plus frames with the Amplify see had over and over and over and over and then he walks up and the big mix up is Throw you is he gonna forward for that's pretty much been at the entire time But he gets a lot of reward off of both and then he set up another Z hat and it continues And so it's really in a weird way a very mix-up heavy match between two characters that mix up very differently But here we go one of these two is gonna qualify for top eight winners And I wake up down to a 10. It just keeps working and Buffalo switched over to the other variation Interesting choice here. So now the main difference with this variation Has access to his base move of slide slide that hits like a low However, he's giving up that amplified ice ball that one of the game in game number one I'm not sure if I agree with this at all. Well, I mean he's got to know something. Wow That was a bad hit confirmed, but he's gonna stay safe for it Oh jumping in stopping foxy grandpa from going anywhere and foxy grandpa looking for the punish Confirming that it wasn't gonna connect the rest of the way great choice here For the plus frames great block by Buffalo and great throw tech afterwards. Oh, what a good quick punch with the slide He's one away now Is this he can catch it? Okay? He's not gonna take it until he needs to unless that was three it might have been the third one I'm not sure maybe maybe I don't know. It's always over so hard to follow But all right throws gonna connect you've seen a lot of good text But this one is working and that might have been a throw trick failed. Oh, that should be the conversion for it No, no, no, he's still good. Oh Oh Checking with a fatal blow after being minus on block Had there been a down one out there he might have been stopped But he made the correct read and now we're going to match point for foxy grandpa interesting Interesting choice especially because I feel like foxy grandpa is one of those players I haven't really seen go right into the fatal blow as much as these other players He wants to just kind of keep it to the throws and of course wants to see the brutality over and over again All right, so he's saving it definitely saving it at this point. Yes at this point a hundred percent saving It doesn't want to cash in just yet on that 30 plus percent Great up three by foxy grandpa taking advantage here on the plus range. No defensive meter. This is so much damaged Look at this into the forward for that's gonna be as foxy grandpa qualifying for winners top eight to take on Daddy going down to the lower bracket so

So let's see. What is our first question? Name a reason to change cloud providers Okay, and first buzz was Alex Alex name a reason to change cloud providers cost Cost show me cost Cost is a number one answer on the board Which means the SRE Street Band will take control of the board and will play Next player is gonna be Carrie Carrie We have surveyed over a hundred Cloud data engineers and asked them to name a reason to change cloud providers. What is one of those answers? Because leadership said so Because leadership said so Survey says the boss told me to excellent. Okay, Ian. We're off to a good start Still have four answers on the board and no strikes name a reason to change cloud providers Complete and utter masochism Show me masochism Survey says Morals or ethics, okay, I will take that Judges are being lenient. That's okay. You still got three answers to go Alex. Alex. Can you name a reason to change cloud providers? compliance or regulations Regulation regulatory or compliance reasons survey says No first strike. Okay, Carrie. You got three answers and two strikes to go. You're in good shape name a reason to change cloud providers talent pool Say it again talent pool like the talent pool people skill skill or talent Survey says ease of use. Okay. All right, Ian Two strikes and two quest two possible answers on the board still to go name a reason to change cloud providers It broke Show me it's broken. Oh Second strike. Okay, Alex. You got two possible answers, but one only one strike left name a reason to change cloud providers Better technology offerings Show me the tech is just better Survey says no. All right, so we are in it's up to you. So the other people here's what how this is gonna go You've got two possible answers. You will get one guess So between the three of you and you can you know come up with your answer if you guess one of these remaining answers You will steal all of the points on the board if you don't guess one of them, then the SRE street band will get the points We're allowed to discuss. Yes, please do discuss You can discuss out loud. Yes, we'd love to hear that's part of the fun Maybe actually needing a service that is provided on the other color provider and it's not the same thing as the tech is better, right? Yeah But at the same time, I guess there were like more loosely Good answers already accepted. So I guess it is the same enough as a if it if it was actually one of the answers It would have been accepted already. I guess true Would vendor lock in have something around that? Yeah, maybe Cooler names Okay, we are gonna need an answer So when the lock in our cooler names Chris let us know what's the answer that you're going with Let's go for cooler names. Okay, show me they have cooler names survey says No, okay, which means the points will go to the SRE street band. Well, let's see what the remaining Remaining answers on the board were And number four was they go out of business Okay, and the number six answer was because of Corey Quinn's shitposting. So Uh, always part of some everybody's uh setup. Okay. So our next face-off now is going to be charlotte Versus carry. So go ahead, uh, contestants hands on your buzzers And let's see That first question that question for this next round This is the same question Name something you might see in an email from a vendor Carrie is our first buzz in carry name something you might see in an email from a vendor Uh, really long signatures Show me a really long signature Ah, okay, so the other people will get to play charlotte. You'll go first Name something you might see in an email from a vendor Telling you that you're obviously the right person to talk to in the company Flattery show me flattery survey says No, okay, I would think so but you know Okay, let's see a table or a name something you might see in an email from a vendor Outage Show me there is an outage survey says Judges are on the fence about this one. But the answer is no. All right, chris Oof. You got two strikes Can name something you might see in an email from a vendor like a sales vendor Products products matching your usage of their systems Show me a list of products based upon your usage And judges say, okay, so sre street band chance to get a few points here um, if you can come up with uh One of the answers on the board you will get the points for that one If not the other people and then we move on with this round. So uh, Given this was kary's face off kary. You are captaining up for coming up with the answer for name something you might see in an email from a vendor Oh, man I mean following up on our last email Right like follow up. Uh, can we schedule something? Yeah a bill? Uh, a link to a webinar Uh, we think you might be interested in um Is there time we can schedule for a 30 minute talk Right. Yeah. Yeah like follow up. I think is a good one, right? Like just following up just touching base We're talking like objects in the email or like content I mean just something you might see in an email from a vendor and it's not necessarily like a prospect, right? This could be a vendor you've already signed with is how I read it I mean the question alexis how do the hundreds of engineers who sent this to read it? Yeah, we have no answers There's seven total. I feel like touching base Or your bill. I think those I think one of those has to be in the top seven I say touching base All right, kary. It's your call. What's your final answer? That's a different game All right, I'll I'll go with the consensus. I'll say touching base follow up show me just touching base Survey says No, oh wow, this is Okay, well, so that being said no points change hands. Let's go ahead and see the answers So we just go ahead start at the bottom a bad joke Check style number six is tracking pixels number five in these troubling times Number four answer is I hope this message finds you well Number three answer on the board is a broken unsubscribe link The number two answer was spam and the number one answer on the board is Hello name variable so well Congratulations on having our first experience of a round where nobody got them. So that's okay. So we just move on And we will get to our next round. So this is going to be in versus teabor. So get yourself Hands on your buzzers And I will unlock them as soon as I read the next survey question, which is Name a git command And first teabor. Okay Name a git command Comet definitely commit. Show me commit Survey says Wow, okay. So Ian, this is your chance to steal name a git command push Show me All right. Number two answers. So the sre street band will play alex. There are four Remaining we've heard commit was not on the board name a git command Show me pull Get pull Okay, carry Name a git command Uh status Show me status No Okay, Ian, you've got one strike but still three answers to go. You're in good shape name a git command Branch Show me branch Oh, all right alex It's rough. You got three possible answers, but only one strike remaining And the number one answer is still on the board name a git command merge Show me merge survey says No, okay, the other people this is your chance to steal If you can this is a teabor. So you are the one coming up with the final answer talk to your teammates If you can name a git command that hasn't been named But is on the board You will take these take these points and you would ideally pick the number one answer and get even more points My impression is that these people are not really putting code in their repository just pushing and pulling stuff around They have to come for fix-up Yeah I'm I'm thinking either check out or rebase Yeah, I will also think Check out clone maybe clone because a lot of people who I guess I guess that's the first command that you try because you only Meet git because you have to I guess So I think that's a good one Should it be clone them? Okay, we are going with clone I guess Oh wait, um, maybe we should go Maybe Maybe think about people who wanted to brag about what they do Maybe maybe not but yeah, okay, but as clone is that your answer? We'll give you another minute or two There's actually a port request command. I think It's it has nothing to do with github port requests. It's just there and It actually sends an email or something like that But I'm lazy. I click the link Okay, what where where are we landing for naming a git command? Any better ideas guys I'm still going for fix-up That's a good option too, but it is your choice. Yeah tboy you don't need to just pick for us Let's go with fix-up All right, show me fix-up No Okay, so the points 18 points will go to the sre street band, but let's see what those remaining commands were Bisect Next we have blame good old get blame and the number one answer was of course rebase So get rebase get rebase. All right. This is now Our final round so uh, the other people you have a shot if you can run this board You can you can send the sre street band Packing so we've got chris facing off against alex again And we'll get ready for this final Final round Name a software license Alex is the first one to buzz that was super close alex name a software license I can name a bunch. I'm trying to think what's number one. Yeah people it's 2021 I'm gonna go with apache Show me the apache license survey says it's number two Okay chris if you can name the number one answer on the board Uh for a software license you will steal control from alex. What do you think it is? MIT license Show me the MIT license and survey says Boom, okay You are on your way if you can run these next three. I think you might have a shot here I don't know how good my math is but we'll see how that goes So that brings us to charlotte next charlotte name a software license I suck at this. Um proprietary Show me a proprietary license No, okay, that's okay. You still got two strikes three answers good shape t-bore Yep gp maybe show me the gpl. There we go Okay, you're on you're on a run here chris got two potential answers and two strikes to go Name a software license I'm trying to think of software licenses all I know is apache and MIT really Um Yeah, honestly, I have no idea. Are you okay?  Yeah, I'm gonna give you an acronym. There's like gdl or something. It's not going to be there anyway Show me a made-up acronym Actually probably could have been an answer. Okay charlotte one more shot here Uh, think of a potential software license Got the big ones out of the way. So this is tricky I'm Yeah, I'm completely drawing a blank uh For those of you, uh, our judge just said if open core was one of the choices I would have accepted made-up acronym so It's open Maybe think about uh, not necessarily just you know traditional licenses, but Okay, we will give the sre street band a chance to steal Um, if you can guess one of these you will rest control you will get the rest of the points If not the points will go to the other people So, uh, alex come up with your answer with teammates So the two others that really come to mind the bsd license And wasilla license. Hold on. Did we did we strike a third time? No, actually, well charlotte's an answer yet. So we think of charlotte one, you know, if you've got an answer in either charlotte, you know That's unfair Those were both wrong so don't worry Okay No license People forgetting licenses. No license at all. Didn't even license the state There's our third story. Okay. We tried. Okay, alex All right, so yeah, again the bsd license and the mozilla license. Those are both things I ran into in the wild But also I wonder if it could be like a jokie answer like a restrictive one or But I I don't know my instincts go with the either bsd or mozilla I feel I'm feeling bsd Yeah, let's do that Okay, show me bsd So paul you lied when you said that that was a wrong answer. So That's okay. Um, all right. What was the final answer that was not on the board was creative commons creative commons So all right with that the points do go to the sre street band Which means that the sre street band Are the winners of this round, which means they move on to Our semi finals they will play against a team tbd That's not actually the name of the team But that will be in our first round in uh, september.

Friends, welcome back to my channel and a very special welcome. If you're new here, my name is Jen. I'm a certified weight loss and nutrition coach. I follow weight watchers and I count calories and macros. Happy Monday. It is Monday, so it is meal prep day. I have three amazing recipes for you. These are so delicious, so healthy, nice clean ingredients and a great addition to your menu for the week.  Make sure you're subscribed and your bells turned on because we do a meal prep every single Monday. Down in the description box, I will list my recipe website where you will find all of today's recipes, nutrition coaching, where I offer personalized to you macros and calories. I cannot recommend this enough, as well as one-on-one coaching. If you would like to chat with me directly, links and discounts to my favorite things and come join our Facebook group. We would love to have you. So let me flip you around and let's get started on this week's meal prep. I'm making homemade healthy breakfast cookies.  We're gonna have a perfect well-rounded breakfast and these breakfast cookies are great if you work outside the home because they're portable. So let me show you what's in the recipe. First, you're going to need some rolled oats, freeze-dried raspberries. You can actually really use any freeze-dried fruit, salt, unsweetened applesauce or a mashed banana, some sweetener of your choice. I just grabbed a couple packs of my whole earth, vanilla extract, nut butter of your choice. Of course, I'm going to use my American Dream nut butter. I think this chocolate coconut truffle almond butter is going to pair perfectly with these breakfast cookies because we're adding in some chocolate chips as well. So it'll be that chocolate strawberry vibe. I'm really excited for it. You guys know how much I love American Dream nut butter, less points, less calories, then traditional nut butter, more protein, just a better. It's just such a great nut butter. They have almond, peanut butter and cashew butter. This one is so good. And I think the coconut is going to pair really nicely in these breakfast cookies.  And like I mentioned, chocolate chips, we're only using a couple tablespoons. So I'm going to do these mini chocolate chips. You could also sub out Lilies if you would like. So let's make some breakfast cookies. So the first thing we're going to do is add our half of a cup of applesauce. And it says a scant half of a cup. So it doesn't have to be completely full. And then one quarter cup of our nut butter. And then mix that together until fully combined. And then we're going to add in half of a cup of rolled oats, salt, about a half a teaspoon of vanilla extract, some of our whole earth sweetener. I'm going to do four packets. The recipe does say that this is a healthy tasting cookie. And in order to add a little bit of sweetness, it recommended that you add some sweetener. We're going to do about three tablespoons of freeze dried raspberries. And then three tablespoons of mini chocolate chips. Give that a good stir. Go ahead and preheat your oven to 350 degrees. So our goal is 10 cookies. So I'm going to use a small cookie scoop. And I'm going to plop them onto a greased baking sheet. These look so delicious. We're putting these into that 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes. I just pulled our breakfast cookies out of the oven. They smell so good. I smell raspberry chocolate and that coconut from that nut butter. That nut butter literally tastes like a mounds bar. It is so good. It's one of my favorite nut butters from American Dream. So I am so excited for these. We're going to allow these to cool for about 10 minutes. I'll package them up for the week and I'll be back to share points, calories and macros. All right, breakfast cookies are cooled. They are packaged away for the week. Like I said, these smell incredible. I can't wait to eat these. These are going to be the perfect addition to my breakfast. So points, calories, macros are here on the screen for you. For lunch this week, I'm making turkey taco lettuce cups. These are going to be super low carb, high in protein and I'm going to add cheese, avocado, sour cream, all the goodness to these. So let me show you what's in the recipe. So you're going to need some minced garlic, broth of your choice. I have this open beef broth so I'm going to use that. Taco seasoning, tomato sauce, a pound of 99 or 93% extra lean ground turkey, one onion and then for toppings, I'm doing avocado and cheese and then of course you're going to need some lettuce wraps. Like I mentioned, I'll probably add sour cream as well but all of the points that I put up here on the screen macros and calories will be without topping. So in my case, without the avocado, without the cheese, you can just add whatever toppings you're going to put on your taco cups, whatever app you're tracking in. So let's jump into the recipe. So the first thing we're going to do for the turkey taco cups is get a skillet warming up on the stove with some nonstick cooking spray. We're going to add in our diced onion and allow that to start sauteing. I don't know if you noticed my new pants here but I decided to treat myself to some caraway home cookware. Now it is a little bit on the pricey side but the quality is impeccable, nothing sticks to it. Everything cooks nice and even. The heating surface heats up evenly. Your food definitely cooks a lot more even than with any other cookware. It has an incredible, incredible warranty and if you are someone who cooks a lot like I do, it is worth investing in really good cookware that will last you years and years. If you think about it, caraway being on the expensive side, if you have to buy new pants say every three to five years, you're investing a lot more than you would if you just picked up some caraway cookware that will last you. So I ended up getting the big skillet and I love that it comes in different colors. I love that they have these matching lids that are easily storable and then I decided to go ahead and grab a Dutch oven too. I picked that up in that dark navy blue color. Absolutely stunning. All of the caraway cookware comes in these really nice bags. You could actually store your cookware in there and then they all come with a pork trivet which I have used a million times. In fact, that is what my breakfast cookies from today's meal prep are sitting on. I am absolutely loving my caraway cookware. I do have a discount code. I reached out to the company and they were so nice to offer a discount code for you guys. So I will link my pieces down in the description box. I am planning on picking up several more pieces. They have a saucepan. They just released some steamer baskets. I am going to eventually get the entire line. They have a bakeware as well. Baking sheets, pans to cook cakes, brownies, muffins in. I am picking all of it up and we'll be transitioning completely over to a caraway home, home because the quality is just cannot be beat. Look how beautiful this cookware is. I just, I honestly cannot get over it. I am going to go ahead and add my ground turkey. One thing I will tell you that I have cooked in this large skillet is Troy and I had eggs the other morning for breakfast and he wanted four eggs. So I was like, we need a big pan to cook your four eggs and my two eggs in. Nothing sticks to these. It is incredible that eggs were cooked to perfection. Even Troy asked what I did different with the eggs. They just cooked so evenly and they were so incredibly delicious. I'm telling you, it is well worth the investment and there's a discount code for you guys, which makes it even better. I plan on using that discount code when I pick up a few more of the pieces. I'm going to add about a packet worth of taco seasoning. If you don't have taco seasoning, the original recipe gives you the measurements for adding in your own cumin, chili powder, et cetera to make taco seasoning, but I had some on hand. So we're going to add that and allow this to cook down. I'm going to add in a big keeping scoop of minced garlic. I like to let that get a little bit fragrant before I add in the rest of my ingredients. I'm going to add half of a cup of tomato sauce and then half of a cup of broth. We're going to stir that together. Allow that to simmer until the ground turkey is cooked completely through. All right, our turkey mixture is done. Doesn't that look absolutely incredible? I went ahead and washed up and sliced up my romaine lettuce leaves. So those are ready to go for the week. I'll probably add a couple tablespoons of light shredded cheese, some fresh avocado and like I said, some light sour cream. This is such a great high protein lunch. I will go ahead and pop up a picture here of what the completed lettuce wraps look like because I'm actually going to have them for lunch today. And I'll go ahead and put points, calories, macros here on the screen for you. For a snack this week, I'm making homemade protein bars. I always like trying my hand at homemade protein bars, protein balls, protein cookies because I get to control the ingredients and these protein bars have five ingredients. That is it. So let me show you what you'll need. You're going to need some protein powder. You guys know I love my ascent, nice, clean protein. I actually just bought the chocolate. It's incredible, by the way. I buy this off of Amazon. I'll link it down below for you. It is in my Amazon store, 25 grams of protein and it is fast digesting. So it's actually going to really deliver that protein quickly. And like I said, it has nice clean ingredients. So we're going to need a couple scoops of protein powder, sugar-free syrup, salt. Of course I'll link my gravity fit salt and pepper grinders. You guys already know we love them. I have lilies, chocolate chips and we're back with nut butter from American Dream. But this time I'm going to use my Love It First Bite peanut butter. This is so good. It has raspberries in it and it has the most beautiful raspberry flavor and it's going to pair so nicely with the chocolate chips and the chocolate protein powder. Again, don't forget, I will link American Dream nut butter down below for you.  I am obsessed. My husband loves it. I love it. I actually got my neighbor hooked on it. Absolutely incredible. So that is down below with 10% off and let's make some protein bars. These protein bars couldn't be any easier to make. All five, all whopping five ingredients go into a bowl. So I'm going to add one cup of the Love It First Bite American Dream nut butter. You can use any of the American Dream nut butters. I just chose this one because I thought that the flavors in this, there's a little bit of like cookie, there's some cookies, there's some chocolate swirls, sprinkles, that raspberry flavor. That's going to pair really good with the chocolate chips and the chocolate protein. But again, you can use any flavor of nut butter. I have a quarter cup of no sugar added syrup, a pinch of salt, and two full scoops of my Ascent chocolate protein. I'm going to mix all of that together. Now with the chocolate chips, you have options. You can melt that down and you can spread it on top of the protein bars so they're a chocolate covered protein bar. You could dip the protein bar in the chocolate, the melted chocolate, but I'm just going to mix the chocolate chips in with the mixture. I want to have the chocolate vibe throughout all of the protein bars. I did 200 of the Lily's chocolate chips. How fun is this American Dream nut butter? Look at the sprinkles, the red and pink sprinkles for Valentine's Day. It just makes me so happy. So I have this kind of odd shaped pan. You could use an eight by eight, nine by nine. You can use whatever you want. This is going to be perfect for the bars.  So I'm just going to take it and spread it out as even as I can. This is going to go into the refrigerator to chill before we actually cut it into bars and our goal is 12 protein bars. So these are actually going to be pretty decently sized. Now remember the thicker that you press your dough, the smaller the bars going to be, right? Because we need to get 12 and if we press this out a little bit thinner, the bars will be thinner, but they'll be a little bit bigger. It really doesn't matter. Like I said, our goal is going to be 12 protein bars. These look so good. They smell good. I can smell the raspberry radiating from these bars and I'm really excited. I'm going to throw these in the refrigerator. We do want them to chill before we cut them into bars. All right, our little protein bars are out of the fridge. I went ahead and cut them into 12 bars. I'm going to just store them in a glass container. These are actually really, really good sized and like I said, they smell incredible. So I'll go ahead and get them all packaged up and I'll be back to share points, calories and macros. So here are our homemade protein bars. I'll tell you, I took a little taste. These are delicious. There is no protein taste whatsoever, at least using the ascent. I love the texture of the American dream nut butter. Gives it, I get the crunch of the sprinkles and the cookies that are in there. It tastes like a candy bar. It is so good. The consistency of it reminds me of the perfect bar.  I will go ahead and put points, calories, macros here on the screen and this is going to be my snack all week and I am not mad about it. Thank you for joining me for another weekly WW meal prep. I hope you are as excited about these three recipes as I am. I can't wait to have these all week long. Don't forget, all of the recipes are on my website which is linked down in the description box along with nutrition coaching, links and discounts to my favorite things and don't forget, come on over, join my Facebook group. We would love to have you. Happy Monday, friends. Here is to an amazing, successful week and I'll see you all in my next video. Bye.


We're back. We're live. This is ThinkTech away. I'm Jay Fidel, and this is ThinkTech Tech Talks. We'll talk about technology with Fati Yannick. He's a consultant for ThinkTech, and we'll hear more from him in a minute. Today, welcome to the show. Today, I would like to talk to you about YouTube. You're very well skilled in YouTube, and there are things happening in YouTube and related to social media that I think is important that we talk about. So welcome to the show. Thank you. Thank you. You know, we saw what happened in Brazil over the weekend, and the press is saying that it was all Twitter that made those guys come together. There was a lot of misinformation and disinformation on Twitter in Brazil, which fomented the unrest and was responsible in some substantial part for the disturbance and insurrection, what have you. And we know that. We know that Twitter was also important for the insurrection on January 6th here in this country. But question, is YouTube responsible also? Is YouTube a kind of social media that does similar things, that is global, that is able to and does in fact spread information that is misinformation? Is it? So I don't know if you could blame the platform itself, but we can definitely say that there's a lot of misinformation going on in YouTube. But the reason for that is because the algorithm on YouTube decides what gets promoted and what gets on the home page and what people watch. So the algorithm is based on what people are already liking and engaging with. So the more engagement a video has, the more it gets pushed to the home pages of other people. And the algorithm doesn't care what the topic of the video is or it's helpful or not. The only goal of the algorithm is to get more engagement and keep people staying on the platform. So when someone has a normal take, that's not insane, that's not crazy. It usually doesn't get a lot of engagement because everyone knows that already or everyone can think about that already. But when someone has a insane crazy take on something or misinformation that's like a crazy non-fact, it gets a lot of engagement because people are surprised. So either they're debating, oh, this is not true. They're writing in the comments or they're watching, trying to figure out how can I prove this wrong. So misinformation gets more engagement, like negativity leads to more engagement easily. And then the algorithm pushes that more and then it goes on and on like that. There's a lot of alt-right misinformation. There's a lot of different types of misinformation on YouTube because the algorithm only cares about keeping people on the website as long as possible and making the most amount of money. So that's what happens at the end. Yeah, well, it sounds like they follow that YouTube follows the same pattern that Twitter does. They want to make money, they want to have advertising, what have you. They want to engage people for as long as possible. They use an algorithm and they don't necessarily screen out misinformation. That's the same thing as Twitter, isn't it? Yeah, the social media websites, they usually work a similar way. The difference with Twitter is even though they're spreading misinformation, the ad business on Twitter is really slow and really unsuccessful. So they're not making nowhere near the other social media platforms. Well, can we say that Google is making more than anyone else? I don't know how because for me, it's free. And for us at Think Tech, it's a free platform. On the other hand, Google doesn't take wooden nickels. Google knows how to make money. How do they make money off YouTube? They make money online. I would say most of the money is made from ads. So it's really hard to make someone, get someone to subscribe to something. So usually subscription fees. YouTube has this as well. They have something called YouTube Premium where you get YouTube without ads, it's like 12 bucks a month. But subscriptions are usually like 10 to 20% of the revenue for online businesses because it's much easier to make money through ads in online businesses and online social media websites. So they make all basically Google is the king of advertising right now. If you want to advertise on YouTube or if you want to advertise on Google, if you have a business, that's the place to go. And right now Facebook is trying to rival them. But they have a long way to go because Google has the two most used search engines in the world. Google and then YouTube is actually the second most popular search engine. So they have this advertising game kind of like pinned down where they got it like so good. It's really hard to compete with Google right now in advertising. So yeah, that premium that you talked about, that seems pretty attractive because it is a kind of a pain to have to go through that four seconds of watching an ad you don't care about and then waiting for it to let you click the button and move on. So how much does it cost? Do you recall to have the premium? Yeah, I think it's like $12 for personal and then maybe like $17 and you get like a family account that you can give five people access to. And it comes with YouTube music and you can have background playback in your iPhones and stuff. So like if you don't have the premium, once you lock the screen, it's going to stop. You're not going to be able to listen to a YouTube video once you lock the screen. But if you have the premium version, you can keep listening even while the screen is locked. And it has a couple other benefits as well. But it's like $17 for the family version, which gives you access to five accounts. That's per month. Yeah, per month. So a couple of things I want to mention to you. One is I stumbled into a movie, a series on Netflix called Playlist, which is a very interesting generic term for a movie.  And he was able to get into a deal with Sony in Sweden and in New York to buy their music. And that started, it was in the early 2000s and that started Spotify. He is now a ridiculous billionaire, this geek. And one is interesting, and I haven't finished this movie, but I recommend it because it is the story of innovation. It's a story if you can't get in one door, you'll find another door. And that's how we got to be a billionaire through innovating again and again and again, finding the parts of the market that would allow him to build his music empire. And of course, I think they all copied him after that, to have it streaming, music live on a computer, on a phone. And so, when you talk about Google Music, I think Google Music found out about this from Spotify. And the important lesson is you have got to keep moving, you've got to keep innovating. So we should talk about innovation by Google and YouTube. I have also noticed, if I didn't mention it too before, that on my Samsung TV, there's a button that takes you to YouTube. And this YouTube button is extraordinary because it remembers what you saw before. It knows what you like. It presents to you movies and clips that appeal to your tastes. And it goes on and on and on. I could sit there and watch the offerings that come to me on Samsung Smart TV from YouTube all day because it's exactly what I want to hear. It's not just politics and news, either it's technology, it's hardware, software, anything that I have expressed an interest in that algorithm really watches me carefully. And what is interesting also about it is that they have the ads, but the ads you can get out of very quickly. So when I compare, for example, watching the news hour on PBS, there are very few ads. If I watch MSNBC, there are horrendous ads for every five minutes of content, there's five minutes of ads, usually prescription drugs of one kind or another. But it is really obnoxious how often they play these ads over and over again. Same thing with CNN, same thing with BBC. But if you go on the Samsung YouTube, you find that either there are no ads or the ads are very quick and easy to get out of. And so you don't spend five minutes for every five minutes of content. It makes the viewing experience so much better. And it's on YouTube within hours, maybe minutes after it plays live on the networks and on cable. So they are crowding into the same space for me as the networks and cable have. They're really very ambitious now. And they have found a way to occupy my attention quicker and better and easier and cheaper in terms of the cost of watching an ad than any of these other channels. This has got to be changing the paradigm, don't you think? Yeah, definitely. We can see that with night shows, Saturday night live, etc. Like back in the day, they used to not be on social media. And then they realized what, how much revenue and how much eyeballs they were missing out on. So now you can watch all the late night shows on YouTube, like as soon as they come out. And even if you don't have the TV subscription, you can watch it on YouTube for free. But then again, like they get the ad revenue from there. And once like one of them does it, and the others realize how much of an opportunity it is in terms of revenue and reach and discoverability, it's just like a no brainer for everyone else to just get in the game. Because they're already producing the content, it's just another distribution channel for them. And that distribution channel happens to be more, has a better reach because on TV, you're scrolling through channels. Like you don't know what is on each channel. And there's probably like 20, 30 channels, whatever. So you're just scrolling through them. But on YouTube, it's like, it remembers what you watched before. So it just tells you, oh, like, since you watched this before, like, you're probably going to watch this.  Like on TV, when you're scrolling, sometimes you get kids' channels. Sometimes you get like, random stuff that you're not interested in, but you still have to go through them. But on YouTube, it doesn't give you anything on the home screen that you're not, that there's no chance for you to be interested in. So yeah, I think it's very interesting. Just a digression. On the Samsung Smart TV YouTube channel, there's a place where you can designate your favorite. And of course, I designated ThinkTech as my favorite. But I just wonder if you have any thoughts about how we at ThinkTech could encourage channel expedite the actions of viewers of YouTube on smart TVs who make ThinkTech a favorite. How could we do that in a way that was really easy or automatic? So what we can do is we can encourage them to turn on their notification bell for our YouTube channel.  Otherwise, if it's not on their homepage and they don't go to your channel page, then they might forget about it. But if they turn on their notification, they will definitely know every time that you upload. That's one thing that we can do. And another thing is to ask people to subscribe. Because when you subscribe, you get it on the sidebar, you get the subscription channels, and then you get reminded of those channels. And if you click on them, then you can go to that channel directly. And subscription also increases the likelihood that a video will appear on your homepage. So if you subscribe to a channel, YouTube is more likely to give you that content on your homepage as well. Wow, we have to talk funny. There's got to be a bunch of things we can do to channel people, no pun intended. Could you do this with a QR code? I'm not sure how you would do this with a QR code. QR code could be useful in IRL, like in real life events, where we could just put up a big QR code that will ask you to, that when you scan it, it can be like a subscription link. We can do that. But other than in real life events, I don't see a use for QR code too much. Okay. So I want to follow up on the whole thing about Brazil and about looking at Twitter, however wounded it may be because of Elon Musk. The fact is that all these social media platforms are global. And except when a state actor is somehow like China, is somehow blocking them, or there's no broadband in a given area to allow you to connect. The fact is they're all over the world. They reach every country you can think of, and they affect the people in that country. So I think to myself, well, if I'm Google and YouTube, I would like to get on a bandwagon there. I would like to have videos available using that algorithm as it may best apply in that country and go through the same user experience, provide the same user experience in Tibet as I do in Hawaii. Are they doing that? And how difficult is it? And is it something that benefits them? Yeah, so this really helps them increase their reach. So what they have is basically on YouTube, you can choose the language for the interface. So for example, I have one account where I chose Turkish as the language. So it just starts recommending me Turkish videos, like mostly from people who are in Turkey. So they have this basically like they have like more than 100 languages. And they have this down so well that based on your where you're connecting to Wi-Fi, they know where you live. So they know which country, which state you live in. And so they recommend you stuff based on where you live. So since coming to Hawaii, for example, I started to see more content recommended to me by the YouTube algorithm that is specifically about Oahu or Hawaii. So as soon as you open up, even if you don't have an account from the IP address, from like how you're connecting to the internet, which cell you're using, which Wi-Fi you're using, they know where you are. And your recommendations change based on where you live. So they can, because if I'm living in America and I get recommended the Russian video, it's very unlikely for me to click. So it makes it less likely for me to stick around and watch YouTube videos. So they do their best to make sure that the language is appropriate for that viewer. And then that way they can maximize how long people stay at their website. Yeah, so what happens if you have an English program and you have a country, say Turkey, for example, that people don't necessarily speak all that much English? I know that you can do simultaneous translation, although I don't feel it's all that good on YouTube. But what do you do when you take YouTube into another country, a country that has a different alphabet, different sounds in the language, where people will not be able to understand English, for example. What do you do about language? Do you play different clips, different movies and forget about English? So one of the things that Google does is that since they own Google Translate, they translate the titles of YouTube videos according to your main language. So sometimes I get recommended videos that are in Turkish, like the content is fully in Turkish. But the title is translated to English, because Google thinks that I'm more likely to click if they translate that title to English. So Google Translate the title. But if the content is not in a language that the viewer is going to understand, then it's going to be really hard for that video to have high audience retention. The audience is just going to click off to another video, if it's not the language that they prefer. So this is one of the reasons that YouTube is global, because since there's people speaking different languages everywhere, then there's people creating content in different languages everywhere. So usually it just gets kind of like it doesn't get watched when the audience doesn't have the same language as the video. It doesn't even get recommended usually. Now they're probably trying to avoid that by encouraging people in that country to submit videos. And I would imagine that given the equipment that's out there, the camera equipment, it's cheap now. The webcams, the software you need to communicate, to stream, I imagine that the creation of content is happening all over the world. And a good percentage, maybe a very high percentage of it, is being created for YouTube to be uploaded to YouTube. It is the community of video for becoming the community of video for the whole world. Am I right? Yes, yes. YouTube used to have a model that said broadcast yourself. So right now, there's like as of 2022, there's more than 500 hours of video uploaded to YouTube every minute. Okay, well, and you know it's going to go that way. But let's talk about some of the problems here.  And they say that Google has more information about you than any other player in the market, any other social media platform, anybody else who take IBM, take any of the people that you interact with, they don't have as much information about you as Google, because Google keeps everything. Now, there's a creepy quality to that because they don't tell you exactly what you're keeping. Although, I believe there's ways you can ask them what your profile looks like on Google. I believe that that can be done, although nobody does it. But what is the future of all of that? It's like out of science fiction, that they would know everything about us right down there, the kind of beer we drink, the kind of toothpaste we use, everything. And at some level, at least in my age group, it's creepy. Is it creepy for you? Do people care about this? I mean, personally, I don't care about it that much because the only way to protect myself from them getting my data is for me to not use those services. But then if I don't use those services, my life is going to be really, really hard. So I don't have an option, really. So I don't care that much. But also, like Google usually has the most information, but it also depends on which services you are using the most. If you're someone who spends all their time on Facebook, Facebook might have more information on you. Or if you're someone who spends all their time on Instagram, like WhatsApp, since Facebook owns those, then they might have more information about you. So this kind of like changes a lot based on person to person. One thing that a really interesting story, I once got a speeding ticket, and I knew that that day I wasn't on that road ever, like I wasn't at that state. So I went on to Google Maps on my phone, and basically Google Maps keeps the data of where you were every day. So it was like from months ago, and I pulled it up, and I was able to prove that I was on another road another time when I got that automatic speeding ticket. So they accepted that they made a mistake, and I got out of the speeding ticket. That's great. What a great story that there are benefits in allowing them to collect on you. But you know what strikes me is what you've said suggests that every single social media that you engage with is collecting. Of course, that's how they make money. They sell your data. They own your data, and then they sell your data. There's a really great quote. I like it a lot. So if the product is free, that means that you are the product. Right. I've heard that before. The product for social media, the way they make money is from ads and selling your information. So they're selling our eyeballs, our attention, and our information. So we are kind of like the product that they are selling to advertisers. You know, they're pretty good at spotting music infringement. They have algorithms. Maybe it's part of one great big algorithm, but they catch you on music infringement almost immediately in minutes. They're not focused so much on video image infringement or oral statements kinds of infringement. But music, they're really good at. So if that being the case, don't they have the ability to find statements that are politically problematic, that encourage violence, for example, and hate? Can't they manage the content better than they are managing it?  Are they doing that? Is this kind of technology getting more robust, or are they not advancing it fast enough? I think they could do more. There's two sides to this. So number one, they don't really care. Like if something is keeping people on their platform for a long amount of time, to them, it doesn't matter if it's harmful. It doesn't matter if it's true. Like they make their money by having people spend time at their platform. So for them, it doesn't matter that much. That's the number one thing. And number two, they could probably do this. But with music, there's copyright and there's other problems, legal problems. But otherwise, like if they need to spend money and effort and resources on trying to find these, and then they also need to decide what is harmful and what is not. Sometimes it's very clear, but to some people it's not very clear. So sometimes they might also get frustrated because whatever they do, like if you say something is harmful, there's going to be other people that say the opposite is harmful all the time. So it's also hard for them as well. I could decide them a lot by also understand their perspective a little bit. Yeah. What about applying that same kind of inquiry into the comments? Because comments come on to YouTube galore and some of them are really obnoxious. They tried, but with the comments, there's this really big problem. Let's say I wrote really racist comments and I got banned. It doesn't matter because I can just create another account in two minutes. So that's the problem that they're facing with the comments section is that it doesn't matter if you ban people. And let's say you ban keywords. Let's say you delete automatic delete slurs. What people do is instead of using the word racist, they can put R and then they can put a symbol that looks like A, like at symbol, and then write the word that way and then it won't get flagged.  So what they're trying to do right now is come up with a better verification system so that you can't create both accounts and you can't create accounts easily that are not humans or duplicate accounts. They're trying to make it harder so that it's going to be harder to comment. So one person can only have one account. They can do phone number verification. They can do other types of verification and then give you eligibility to comment that way so that the comment section is going to be cleared up a little bit because if you know that you're not going to be able to comment with another account, you might take it more seriously. You might not want to lose your account that has the ability to comment. Yeah, it reminds me of the thing in China where they give you a social score.  You can't take the bullet train or anything like that and you're going to have trouble getting a job. But if you have a high social score, you do better in the society. It seems to me that Google, which is the leader, I would think, that Google could develop the same kind of system and as you say, they could call for verification. When I try to get on a site where I forgot my password and I go through this two-step verification business, they got me. They're going to be able to verify me. They're going to make it work so that I can't cheat on that. It's hard for me to cheat anyway. So I'm wondering if that's the future, Fatih. We're going to have more verification. We're going to have social scores about whether we're good or not. What do you think? I think for a country like USA, one of the big is that we have democracy. So the government changes like every two years, four years, eight years, whatever. So the government doesn't have one single set of ideas that they course on people all the time, since there's more than one party, more than one leader. In China, they don't have democracy. So they can say the government can define a set of principles and then have that go on, make that score like the social score based on that. But here, I don't think it's possible because another president is going to come and they're not going to have the same idea about everything because everyone has freedom of speech. So it's going to be really hard to make something like that here because of the fact that we have democracy and everyone speaks their minds and there's like an open debate platforms and stuff. Okay. Well, let me take that one step further. I do want to ask you this. So we know the power which can be toxic of social media. We know that social media can foment an insurrection here or in Brasilia. It can be very dangerous to democracy, which is the fabric on which we all like it or not, which we all live and which is better for the liberal world order everywhere. But social media can bring that down if it's misused and not moderated and so forth. So isn't it inevitable that, I hate to even think this, but isn't it inevitable that government has to get involved, that these rights have to be regulated? The stakes are so high. The risk is so great. The potential damage is so destructive that after a while you say to yourself, gee, they can wreck the country, the world. Do we need regulation? And how do we do regulation in a way so as not to give so much license to government that they wreck it from their side? I mean, that's a really complicated question, honestly. And one of the things about these companies is that Google, Facebook, these are public companies. So one of the advantages of them being a public company is that they care about their bottom line. So they're going to be scared and they're going to be conservative in what they do. And they don't want to stir the pot too much, because if they get into a lot of controversies, if they mess something up really big, then their shareholders, they're not going to let them do whatever, because they care about being profitable, or at least revenue growth and stuff like that. So they're kind of scared because they want to keep their money. So that's one security that we have for these companies. But then again, Twitter just went private. So that doesn't exist for Twitter anymore. Twitter could be unprofitable for 10 years, and no one would be able to question it. But the government involvement... Go ahead. The government involvement question is, I think, very complicated. I don't know if I could answer that question, because this is a really big debate, and how much should the government be involved? It's a really hard to answer. Well, I think the answer is going to be a non-answer for a long time, until it gets so serious that there must be an answer. And then who knows what will happen? For now, I suggest to you that the people in Congress A are not interested in B. If they were interested, they wouldn't really understand the stakes. They wouldn't understand the technology. They wouldn't understand the social implications of social media, and so they're not about to actually form up some policy on that. That's my thought. But let me ask you about one other thing before we quit, and that's this. Google was established, and I remember it well, out of nowhere, on a search algorithm, that they had the smartest search algorithm. And other people had search algorithms, too. I'm reminded of Bing, remember Bing? What's that? Microsoft is it? I don't remember. Yeah. Yeah, Microsoft. No longer of any real interest. Yeah, Yahoo, I think. Yeah, Yahoo, too, yeah. Whatever the other guys did, they have faded into obscurity or oblivion. But Google gets better and better. And I think to myself that that is such a big selling point for anybody in any language who wants to submit and upload videos, and to find them, and to allow his or her followers to find them. This is a real important issue. So my question to you is, is Google and YouTube significantly better in finding things now than it was before? Are they continuing to work on this? Have you noticed an ability on YouTube to find things quicker, better, smarter than it was, say, five years ago? Is this still a leading area of innovation for them? I think they're still leading the innovation.  So one of the things that that leads to is that they increase advertisement. So if you remember back in the day, 10, 15 years ago, when you searched something on Google, you would get whatever you searched, the first page would be full of different websites that whatever you searched about. But right now, like half of the first page is ads about what you're searching. So they're increasing the ads. YouTube is doing this as well. Back in the day, YouTube didn't have a lot of ads, because they were trying to grow out the company, they were trying to grow out the revenue, they were scared of their competitors. Right now, they don't have any competitors. So when you search up something and you don't have the premium account, there's like a 99% chance that there will be one or two ads, like sponsored videos above whatever you searched about. So I think that's increasing more and more, and that that's making it a harder and less comfortable experience for users. Because if I'm searching something on Google, I just want to get what I'm searching on. I don't want to get ads about what I'm searching on, you know? That's a really important point. So you know that Think Tech uses FileMaker, which is an Apple product. And it's very powerful database, and it's very easy to program in that database, including with script, and lots of finding functions. So if I have a database of millions and millions of records, and I want to slice and dice that and find anything and everything that meets a whole series of parameters, I can do that on FileMaker very easily. Not the only one, but we are familiar with that. And I can create a page, a layout in FileMaker to find anything that Think Tech has ever done. Any person, any date, any subject, the use of any word, you know, social analysis. Now I can't do that on YouTube. On YouTube, you put it in the search box, you put a few words in, and that's it, and it may catch it or not. And I'm wondering two questions for you, Fatih. One is, am I missing something? Is there a programmer interface here that can be used on YouTube to make a more sophisticated search? Is this where Google and YouTube are going? Because I think there are people out there would like to do on YouTube what we do on FileMaker. And the second question is, how can Think Tech avail itself of a more sophisticated search capability on YouTube, which is our main engine of uploads and storage? Your thoughts? So one of the things that YouTube uses for making search easier is tags and keywords in the description. So if you focus on making those tags and keywords and putting them in the description in all of the videos, it's going to be easier for YouTube to pick them up when we search about them. Because otherwise, YouTube is going to look at other things like, for example, sometimes they look at the auto-generated subtitles like transcript of the video. But that's not always accurate. You might say a word, but since the voice writing is not perfect, it's not 100% accurate. So it makes it easier for YouTube to search when you put tags and keywords in it. And I think that could be a solution towards this problem. Well, if I have the ability to manage a database, I can say I want to know every show that Fatih Yannick was involved in between April 1st and April 5th of 2018, for example. And then I want to know those shows that didn't have J. Fidel in them. And I want to know the shows that dealt with Apple rather than Google. In other words, I could have positive search terms, negative search terms, date search terms, spelling. And as you referred to before, I could have various words where there is a misspelling. And I could be looking for those misspelled words as well. I can't do that on YouTube right now. Even if I put in a lot of keywords, I'm never going to get close to that. And I'm wondering if that's the future. And if it is, is that something that we can, is that an opportunity for us and others who are similarly inclined at having a more powerful search on all those, what did you say, 500 hours? 500 hours per minute. Yeah. Per minute. There's a lot going in there. And it's huge. It's in the crillions, I expect already. And they're going faster every day. So I want to be able to find stuff easier. I don't want them to manage my searches. I want to be able to cross-cut and slice and dice in every way possible into their database. Is that, is that going to be available to me? Right now, YouTube hasn't announced something like that. And I understand what you're saying. YouTube has their search advanced filters. But the filters that they have are not as advanced as you mentioned. You can sort by upload date, or you can say, oh, show me videos under four minutes, or long, or there are more than 20 minutes. But it's very limited in capacity. And you can't give from this date to this date. You can only say today or this week. It's very limited. Maybe using those advanced features on Google search could help. But then we might get non-YouTube related answers as well. So maybe this could be something that YouTube could improve upon in the next years, decades. Well, I was going to say we should send them a copy of this video. Maybe give them an idea. But in fact, by uploading it, we are sending a copy of this video. So maybe they'll take a look, Fatih, and they'll learn from our suggestions. Anyway, thank you very much for this conversation. Fatih Yannick, who consults with us on YouTube and Google and other things at Think Tech and who is a student at the Academy for Creative Media at UH. Thank you so much, Fatih. Thanks. Aloha.


Potentiometers and rotary encoders look similar, but are quite different. Potentiometers are adjustable resistors that can turn about 270 degrees. They usually have three pin connectors, one for either end of the full resistance and a middle pin providing variable resistance from the internal rotary wiper. That middle pin can be connected to a microcontroller's analog input to detect the pot's rotational position. Rotary encoders can be rotated continuously in either direction. They contain little switches that tick on and off as the encoder is rotated. This in turn causes the encoder's two outer pins to go high and low in different orders, depending on which way the encoder is turned. So an encoder can tell us which way it's been turned, but a potentiometer specifies its rotational position.


Hello, can you hear me? Well, I was going to say already start from who I am so My name is the Shanali. I had to check one to make sure I Work for this company called IBM. I'm sorry Red Hat and It's been two weeks But I worked at Red Hat before five years and desktop team I've been trying to get back for a while and now I finally made it back But not in the desktop team, but in another team containers related stuff So new stuff for me to learn and stuff Should I start with the actual okay cool And I've been involved in force in different companies and different levels and stuff Mostly GNOME stuff, but other things as well like G-Streamer and Related stuff mostly I'm into flying. I have a helicopter license working on my plane license and I like cats And the story I'm going to tell you is a very small boring one, but maybe some interesting somewhat I start in 2007 and it's sounds like a Spanish conspiracy because These two guys this guy and this guy they were both Sitting together some somewhere with some people from Garmin and they said oh, what about we have Geolocation service for Linux because there is nothing like that right now And since debuts is the way to go nowadays, so it would be using debuts so They decided to create a project called Geoclue which is a debuts based geolocation service There's a concept is very simple the application asked this service like where I am right now and The service this tells them that and They found a victim. I mean some are of course student to do the actual work And this guy wrote a lot of did all the hard work and he made it possible the Geoclue And the concept was based on external providers So each The source of location was an external source. So within the service service itself There was nothing it was only an API for applications to talk to and for service providers to hook into the service So they can tell tell it where the location and give it updates about location and stuff and The first and the easiest one in any kind of application like geolocation You can implement as geo IP, which is the simplest one because Any service out there can see your external IP and tell What it thinks where it is and there's a database already out there? Max mind is a company that maintains it and they have like a commercial version of that database and there's a Free version of that it is there's not a lot of difference between them actually in practice But there's some So yeah based on that they implement a GUIP provider They also kind of provided a Wi-Fi geolocation, but they couldn't really because the only ones were Proprietary and they couldn't use it in open-source software so they kind of created a source that You can manually tell it like okay these Wi-Fi's if you see these Then it means I'm on this location So user had to manually do that and that's not really you know it doesn't work out of the box So it I don't think anyone actually use that I'll be surprised if they did and They one of the things that is essential is support for GPS devices So they created another person came along and he wanted he was interested in GPS support in Geoclue and implemented gypsy Ian Holmes is his name and But there was already a project called GPS D it's maintained by Ira Kramer and I think and but And the reason they didn't take that was it had a very very conservative architecture They wanted everything to be allocated on the stack and it created many other problems it increased memory usage and stuff like that and They had a very archaic IPC mechanism they didn't want to use GP debuts at all and they were afraid of that They said it doesn't work and stuff anyway So there was a bit of a clash and they they both have written really long blog posts explaining why did You know did what they did like why gypsy and why GPS D still anyway so And then since some of the Garmin people were involved in the creation of Geoclue They used it in their devices as far as I know and also in many MIMO and MIGO devices Geoclue was used as still is being used in YOLA devices if you know that one so Yeah, but over time the dreams were forgotten people got busy with other things Geoclue was un-maintained for your gypsy was un-maintained for even longer The guy who wrote Geoclue UC Cooker and he's a good friend and I still meet him and he's still involved in open source But the guy who wrote gypsy he's he has vanished. I think I have never I haven't seen him for 15 years or something and Then in 2013 when I was still in desktop group of the Red Hat I was bored. I I have been doing the same application for three years Continuously, which is going on boxes and I want to do something different so I was like, what should I do and Talk to this guy. He's involved in all parts of Grome at least and free software of this very free desktop Software and he had he was kind of involved in Geoclue development at some point So he had some ideas about creating a new Geoclue Geoclue, which because the old Geoclue was getting really old this the source code was not really nicely written in the end and Also, it was using a lot of libraries and APIs that were not really Sorry They are not really Like maintained there those APIs are not there anymore so instead of revising that old software and also the architecture is not it's like the External providers I mentioned so it sounded like a really good idea on paper, but Practically, it's it's not such a good idea because many people created their own providers And they use them in their own devices, but they never contributed upstream So the upstream Geoclue you take on your desktop machines. They are just they only have GUIP and it's not very useful at all so because of that we we created Geoclue 2 with Bastia Nocera and The idea was much simpler architecture which is not just good for developers but also for application developers and Now for anyone who uses it For example, we only have internal sources. We don't have external source. There is one exception to that I'll tell later, but ideally it's all sources belong in our code And if you want to add some source, please come and contribute that and also Geoclue usually used to provide Geoclue 1 used to provide Geocoding service Geocoding API and We thought that doesn't really belong there We it should be a separate service that people should be able to use that separately from Geo geolocation So there it was that code was put into a separate a library called Geocode Geolib and Another reason for redesigning Geoclue 2 was privacy because Geoclue 1 had no concept of privacy It would just give the location to any application that asked it but You know location is like a very sensitive piece of information So if any application can get it, it's it could be a really bad application that wants it You downloaded some random application off the internet and takes your location and gives it to someone So the idea was having an app authorizing agent And it that has to be external and the first OS that was added It was added to was GNOME because I was working on GNOME stuff So it was natural for me to add it to that at least myself So currently if you use some application right now that does location for example, GNOME maps or something You will get a dialogue and then it saves that permission from you in a in a database and stuff And similarly elementary. I think one year ago two years ago. They also added Apothrizing agent for Geoclue As for the sources the first source of course as I mentioned the easiest one is GUIP So we added that as first thing and modems was another kind of easy thing because there is already two Backends for managing modems one is modem manager other one is Ophono Modem manager is the one being used on GNOME and stuff So I use that I actually have a blog post about that why modem manager is much better than Ophono But I'm nothing against people adding Ophono, but we have modem manager support already and it does Support two things one is cell tower based location, which is not very accurate. It's a few kilometers at best and The GPS which most modems nowadays they come with a GPS on it So we we get a GPS location, which is a lot more accurate, of course And but the problem is that not everyone has a modem and a lot of in a lot of laptops even if you have a modem Many corporates they just disable it because nobody this thing nobody uses it So and when you are stuck with GUIP the GUIP at best can give you city level location And that's not good. Sometimes that's even very wrong And people get really frustrated. So we need something more accurate that that can that is more abundant which can be used on many most laptops and stuff and that's Wi-Fi based geolocation The concept is simple you you see which I Which Wi-Fi network you see you get a list of that the strands and then you send it to server and server tells you Okay, this these devices are in this particular street. So you get a street level accuracy, which is really good Already, but the problem was how do we do that? Where's the server? Which server we can use we can't use Google service You can use Microsoft or Apple's or whatever Now one we could use was yahoo's which was there for a bit that you can use an open-source software But there was some limits to the date the data rate and all that so it wasn't ideal, but we had to use something, right? But then soon after I started your clue to Mozilla came out with their own service Which is called Mozilla location service and that does the Wi-Fi based geolocation and they utilize their vast number of user around the world To gather all the data about Wi-Fi's so they had within within months. They had a huge huge amount of data from across the world and So and it was completely open so it's open source the and data is not open for privacy reasons Exactly, but that's a completely different topic for another talk But we can talk about it afterwards if you want Anyway, it was a really good send and we use that service immediately and we were the one of the first users external users of that service But as I mentioned laptops have Wi-Fi so you can use it but most desktop machines do not have Wi-Fi's So what about them there? Are they stuck with GUIP? More or less. Yes, but we came up with a solution for that A summer of course student implemented this So the idea is that you Share from your phone. Yeah, all the phones nowadays the smartphones have GPS devices nowadays so you Share your GPS location on your network on your Wi-Fi network or your internal network and then anyone can use it any software and He as a part of his project here, of course added support in geoclue So there's application called you to share which you can install on your Android device And you get the Android device location on your desktop or laptop or whichever device you want so that was a kind of Workaround for for desktop machines, but that's the best we could do There's no other way and it uses a why to tell announce its location on network What about standalone GPS devices? I said more Dems have GPS but not like it's that's not the only place for GPS There's standalone ones that you can plug into USB usually or Bluetooth How about them the problem with those is that they usually need some kind of configuration They don't work out at the box at least right now. There's a new Linux subsystem coming I have heard that will solve this problem at least for many devices modern devices But I don't know if it will solve for all devices so you need to set bot rate and stuff like that on the on the Serial port that it exposes on So since it's three needs an external Means we thought okay. What about gypsy we can use that But it that has been maintained for much much longer Unmaintained for much longer than geoclue the guy who wrote it. He's nowhere to be found Yeah, source code is not that great and Yeah, so we we thought like and it's written in C and I've been more Into rust these days. So I decided to just write a new one GPS chair. It's called and it's Another reason to rewrite that is that it's not a diva service But it's the works the same as the geoclue share. I mentioned the app So it just exposes your network on the local network if you wanted to and Since is a since geoclue already had the support for NME over TCP So it could readily use this software that I wrote in rust So that's on github and you can you can use that for standalone devices And of course from day one we had GNOME integration because I was interested in that in GNOME Maps actually this is a GNOME maps as a software I Started nowadays another person is that guy is maintaining it and This one I mentioned is a Finnish conspiracy and the maps is more a Swedish one because Always a maintainer is a Swedish guy and yeah, anyway, so Yeah, anyway, and of course one of the cool features we wanted to have with geolocation was automatic time zone update So many devices have implemented that so long ago, but we never had this so it was really cool to have it and in GNOME and Of course clocks and weather needs location as well webka GTK for different web pages and and Yeah, so those were the apps and We recently more recently we we had some positive development as well like free desktop Created a git lab Instance and I think now it's the only git lab And geoclue was one of the first ones to move. I said to Daniel like yeah I want to be the first one to move there And it was like immediately positive effect because it makes things so simpler and easier and also it All of a sudden there were many contributors to geoclue not just in terms of issue reporting But also patch patches were being submitted before there was rarely any external people other than me You know giving patches, but now there's a lot of people Well enough people more than before And Another change was flatback. So and I mentioned about privacy At that time flatback wasn't there. There was a concept of that. There was some development, but it wasn't really there What is flatback? It's a Bundling app bundling solution So you put all your app with all its dependencies in one bundle and then you you can distribute it for all the Distributions you don't have to package it for distribution distributions and also one of the core concept is sandboxing so first they were focused on bundling, but nowadays they are focusing on sandboxing as well and When it comes to sandboxing an app, you don't want the app to to access System bus at all and geoclue is on system bus for many reasons So we talked I talked to the person Matthias Klassen who is Working on the sandboxing solutions. So they are called portals The portals are a way for app to get to system Without actually directly having access to the system whole system. So it's much more secure And he wanted to do a geo geolocation Portal, but since we already have a privacy story We had to remove some of that code and now we will hopefully we will eventually remove all of our privacy stuff and in In favor of the flatback geolocation portal and flatback will handle all your this the apps will talk to Flatback flatbacks portal and that will talk to geoclue for us for you So it will be More secure that way But we have challenges ahead The Mozilla location service when it was announced Mozilla was still doing Devices they were into mobile stuff and that was their main use case for it But they haven't been into that for two years at least now They are really nice people. So they are keeping it up. The service is still there We can still use it and I think you can also contribute back to it like with their Android app But how long would it be there? Nobody knows. So there is this Uncertainty about the service and the service is extremely important for free desktop right now Because if you can't get your location all these apps they are not very useful And especially there's something like automatic times on update once you get used to that you're kind of expecting it to always work Right, so it would be a pity if we if we can't locate you anymore all of a sudden And we have only your city location at best So I would be interested in hearing about any if anyone has any suggestion on how to fix this problem The code is open source. It can be moved somewhere else. It can be hosted by somewhere else the same service So if anyone has any ideas like you know You want more platforms a lot of embedded devices they took geoclue one and they are they are still using that one And that that source code is not even there anymore. It's not just on maintain It's just not there the source code upstream. So it's a maintenance burden. So I think they really should All move to geoclue two of course It's it's a bit of a task because the API is different architecture is different But I think it's it's worth it to do that effort And it's been a while it's been like four years three four years that your clue to came out. So it's time Now we need more developers as I mentioned with GitLab I saw more contribution coming in a lot more than before But I would like some more developers to actually start Actively working on it. There we have many different tasks to still fix in in in geoclue. So I've worked if you want to work on something cool Please consider this project Also as I mentioned before rust So I I really don't believe that any new source code should be written in C and C++ at least I Understand existing source code like large especially large code base Remaining in in C and C++ because it's a lot of work to to port to rust So that's understandable, but This geocluse core is not that big and it could be done if I count in Mondays like I don't know a Month at best if I do a full like work on it full-time But that's like the worst-case scenario I'm hoping maybe it will be a summer of code project, but we will see But if anyone else wants to help me with that, it would be awesome and it will go much much faster much easier And it's a if you want to You know have a some kind of practice of rust and or porting to rust from C this is a really ideal project for that because it's a simple architecture very few objects and It's it would be really good practice if you want that practice for this Yeah, that's my presentation Ten minutes of question and answers if you want so you have all the freedom to show Yes Not really I would like to improve the question was that if we have other sources in mind for geoclue for getting location No The thing is that the the app I mentioned you clue the GPS chair That doesn't support all devices yet Didn't get enough time to to work on that and improve on that So if I if you want to or someone else want to help on that that would be awesome Yeah, that's that's my main thing and another thing another source could be the GPS sharing app for Android It's only for Android. There is no support for Apple for what is it called the iPhone? So, yeah, so if someone can add that I'll be cool to know The question was what about Galileo most more or less But when we say GPS, it's not just GPS. It's all the satellites all the all the networks. We want them all and Yeah, GNSS. Yeah, and actually they were patches to GPS share for for fixing that like I was assuming in the strings that it starts with a GP which is for GPS But someone fix that I think so it's it supports all those Is there anybody because we have five six minutes left? The previous sort of surplus time slots there was always somebody who wanted to do a little blurb in front of us and He got a standing applause almost Just because he dared or she there is that she that's for once wants to sort of stand up and do something Come on Don't you want something from the crowd? No You're just here to consume Well, thank you very much


As we continue to add mass, the planet creates densities much greater than lead. The core becomes so hot and dense that, at around 11 to 16 Jupiter masses, it starts to fuse deuterium. At this point, it begins to shine in infrared wavelengths. We no longer have a planet, we have a brown dwarf. Glease 229B is a brown dwarf. Being larger than hat P2B tells us that it contains a smaller amount of heavier elements. It's 70% larger than Jupiter, but has 45 times its mass. It's important to note that at these masses, celestial objects cannot fuse hydrogen or lithium. And the thermal forces created by the deuterium burning are not enough to break the hold created by electron pressure.
