Hi everyone, so this is just a warning video that this video is very very long It's like 23 minutes long I think me and Emma didn't realize what time it was and we talked a lot and we had we both had a lot of questions each I think I had about 25 questions to answer Emma had a lot of questions So it is a bit of a long-winded video and we've had to cut this down and Not only is this 23 minutes long, but I'm gonna have to do like four episodes because there's more so Just look out for the other episodes on the Q&A and hopefully you enjoy it So give us a comment below and let us know what you think of the video Okay, let's go Right. Well, I am here with Claire Carmichael student nurse. You can find her channel down in the description Oh, yeah, and I'll tell you what It's a fair on my channel. You can find Emma's down in the description It's really funny because like this is the first time that I've been up this end to see clear I think the last time I saw you was you in a nip switch. Yeah, I think so wasn't it? Yeah, and the first thing that I saw six years ago. Was it really? Yeah. Wow. That's a long time Was it no five five years ago 2013? I don't even know It's been too long.  Sorry But yeah, anyway, we decided to get together and do a bit of Q&A. Um, what is this? 25 questions to get to you. Is it Claire's questions for nursing? That's crazy. We should do like Um Quick fire around to do to do. Oh god. No, we're too tired for that. I mean what time is it now? It's like it's surely got to be like midnight. It's like it's half 11 All of our questions are on a phone. Whereas I'm organized Post-it notes, but I don't see them. It's happened. She's just dropped them. She's such a professional Sorry, but yeah, so you've got the first question and it says a what made you start YouTube. Are you asking me? Yeah Okay, so I first started YouTube because a lot of reasons to be honest and firstly when I was looking up nursing I Didn't see any UK based nurses It was all American and I wanted to do something for UK based people or so because there's so much negativity around Nursing and it's horrendous and I wanted to create a positive spin on nursing and Create this nice positive vibe and encourage people into nursing and get people motivated again bring the passion back to people's hearts You're doing a good job. I'm trying Well, some of your best moments top three you've had since starting streaming. So that's really difficult This one is from well her name's in speos Laker.  I think it's just I think one of the top moments has to be it was All in about the space of a week and I'm not kidding I got raided by three of my favorite youtubers ever like we had bassist dude raiders And he now has like I think over 6,000 subscribers and then stat raided us and he has like Over a quarter of a million Subscribers and then one shot girl who now has nearly 500,000 subscribers raided me and like 88 people came into the chat Like it seriously I was just sat there and I just could not believe it It was just when some of that you look up to as a full-time life She might recognize issue and comes in when you're very very small I had less than a thousand subs back then like so we're like, oh, yeah These big youtubers don't care about us and then to get raided by her was just insane like she's if you don't know She's awesome. Check out one shot girl on YouTube and bassist dude and stat check them all out. Honestly, they're really good. Okay, so another one for student nurses Struggling with presentations to the point of nearly dropping out tips. Do you do them at uni? Yes Is the easy answer? Yes next question No and poster presentations for me are hell I hate poster presentations as well So I can fully understand that and you literally the best tip I can give is practice and Push yourself to do things that you wouldn't normally do like public speaking doing welcome talks at the university perhaps Practice in front of friends family anything you can do to practice Honestly, it'll completely not completely take those nerves away, but it will help you be put at ease a little bit I think and I can't speak for all of the universities, but as far as I know Every nurse that I've spoke to has had to do a poster presentation at university for nursing so More than likely you'll probably get one and just just prepare for it is The best tip always be prepared always be you are like the most organized person I've ever met I'm organized like seriously we get along very well, but this just goes to show how I'm organized I am and how like amazing you are Oh What's your biggest phobia this is from squawks? Yeah squawks love you He is one of my is one of my moderators and so is squawks. Um, my biggest phobia Um, I guess I don't like being restricted. So like anything where like I'm not phobia I'm not really claustrophobic, but I remember this one time at bank. No, I Was um, I lost something under my bed and I told my brother when he was really little not to sit on the bed Because I was pretty much stuck under it anyway And he sat on it and everything just came crashing down. I mean I didn't move like literally and I was like the Hulk I literally have to turn my entire body around and lift it. I've never seen my brother so scared I literally power bench. I literally power bench to bed It's like But like drowning anything where I'm restricted like I can't breathe and wasps literally a freaking hate wasps Okay, so Claire Good coping strategies for uni students. How do you deal with stress? Oh? Well, it's rare. I get stressed Like I just I try and avoid it Um But you get stressed a little bit then you just go right Good coping strategies, okay, so Do more of what you love is probably the easiest answer to that because even though the course is intense If you were doing nursing paramedic science any sort of medical profession It's really intense and it can be it can really get you down. So you need to Make time for yourself your friends your family And do things that you really love doing just to distract you Keep you motivated as well. Also, like I found getting more involved with the university and Doing extra things around University helping out and things keeps me really really Motivated and on the ball Next question for you did streaming help you deal with some of your rough times. Yes next question. No, I'm kidding See, I've done it now. No, yeah, like I know a lot of you guys that watch my channel Especially do suffer with sort of your own mental health issues and your own depression and if you first so do I like I have done since I was like 19.  You just make my day. So biggest difference between first and second year and Academically, did you notice the difference? Good question. So between So in first year, you're level four academically and then it goes up to level five in Second year and then level six in third year. So going from first year to second year In second year, it's more critical. So you have to critically analyze everything that you do That's the biggest difference between first and second year and they want a lot more in-depth structure to assignments and things and To be honest, I don't think I've noticed it the jump I Don't I personally don't think I've noticed the leap but then to be honest I haven't got my results back yet for my first assignment for this year. So when I get the results back I can tell you I've done better or not. I don't know Biggest leap is that critical analyzing and people really struggle with that I think but there's loads of tips and hints if you Google it to help you with it and have a look at Manchester phrase bank as well because that is amazing for writing assignments But I am gonna do a vlog on assignment writing. So don't worry too much about that question Come on next on the Claire Cale Michael channel. Okay So yeah, we've got here. Squawks has asked me. What's my biggest regret? and then He's asked another one but Martin underneath that has asked me what would you do if you won the lottery now? Funny enough, I'm not a person that normally has regrets Because the way I see it is the past is the past and at the end of the day You can't go back and change it. So why dwell over the past just move on and make make the future better That's why I seriously believe in However, I do have one regret in life now I don't know. I know a lot of you from America and a lot of you are from Like sort of Holland and the Netherlands and things But over here in the UK, we're talking that thing about four years ago when I worked in in the Monday to Friday job We had a football soccer team called Leicester City And Leicester City were about to get relegated from the Premier League the top the top of the you know Top of the league of football to a lower division and somehow they kind of saved their own ass and Everybody thought oh, they might win it this year and the yards were 4,000 to one Now I was making pretty decent money in this job and I had a A betting shop five minutes from my house. So I was going to bet a hundred pounds Oh Just click I was going to bet a hundred pounds unless there to win the Premiership Oh, and you know what happened they won and I lost out of the chance of 400 grand 400,000 pounds. I can't believe you did that. I know this is I don't have regrets except one I'm quite humble to be fair. Yeah When you're when you're younger you have all these dreams of having a big house and a big car and lots of all I want now being the age that I am is I'd like a house. I'd like a car and that's it And I'd pray if I wanted lottery, I'd probably buy my mom's house for her.  I've got a one bedroom flat I'd probably buy myself like a three bedroom house would have a guest room and I can have a streaming room Yes, yes, and then I would buy my flat I mean now and I'd give that to my brother and I'd pay all his bills So he would just have to pay for TV and phone and the internet I'd pay like he wouldn't have to pay for the house I'd have it up because it would be bought by me and I'd pay his council tax That's nice, and then if there was enough I would give every member of my family An amount of money and I probably like buy all their houses, too Like I wouldn't want it for me Like I'd make sure that I had enough that I didn't have to work anymore and I could just stream YouTube full-time So I'd make sure I had enough left over to do that But I would give as much as I could to my To my family because you know I want to help them out. They've helped me out. It's my life So I'm pretty I think I'm pretty humble when it comes to that Yeah, I Don't see it that often We saw each other Years ago when was it Annabelle? No the Conjuring when the first Conjuring came out. Shall we tell the story? No What story shall I not tell Claire? I don't know We were in the taxi After the Conjuring right that film was scary again She I was terrified She was legit terrified of the Conjuring. It was so funny And we got in the taxi to go back from the cinema to mine and there was like a little bit of like Orange juice I can't have orange juice But it had just enough orange juice left in it that it was weighted perfectly So it stayed it stayed upright So when the taxi took opened the door took a turn Like this bottle just slid Across if they didn't tip it didn't tickle or anything or topple It just slid across me. It called that me.  She put her feet up on the taxi chair. She didn't want to put her feet down There is it's so funny. Anyway, sorry. I don't see you enough It's hilarious. Okay, so serious you had to be there It's funny. I might just share the photo now Anyway applying to child nursing but questioning it because of watching 24 hours in A&E. Do you do this? Yeah, yeah all the time No, it's true so You're applying to child nursing. Okay, so she's questioning it because of that basically if you if you're genuinely Questioning it and you're thinking maybe you want to be an adult nurse instead of child It's I think it's a it's a lot easier to do. I don't know because I'm not going to help your situation What were you gonna say see I'd love like just like wash or kind of compose yourself I would have loved I think if I'd have done Child nurse and I probably would have enjoyed it way more I think it depends who you are Because I'm much more of a big kid. I'm a big-ass kid I know it's sad when they're really really sick and stuff But here's the thing that I thought like the good days outweigh the bad Yeah, that's true. Like the good days make it all worth it No matter how much bad you see you just kind of I'm answering your question. I'm answering your question I don't know what you're answering my question. I think like you've got your own questions You've got to be able to take it on the chin, haven't you? Yeah, you answer it. Sorry No, it's fine It's because I'm sorry, but you're experiencing it as well because you've got a lot of healthcare Yeah, it's fine. I can't help myself Um, so basically I personally think But it's the professional a lot easier to do adult nursing first And this is why I stopped myself Because as an adult nurse apparently you can work in pediatrics as well See, I didn't know and I didn't know that till recently um but I don't know how easy it is going the opposite way around So you'd have to look into that if you were genuinely thinking about it But then also some universities do an extra pathway at the end of the course So you can do an extra 18 months and be dual qualified so you can be adult and child Or there are four-year courses that you can enroll on and That's adult and child or adult and mental health. It's dual qualified. Yeah.  I want to work at the university. I want to do help students I want to do all these hundred and one things and My career ambitions and everything that have just gone up a level since starting So don't assume that where you want to work before you start is where you're going to be when you finish Yeah, where you can end up. Yeah. Yeah But it's your choice.  Yes, who's it from? Oh She's found one Martin Van Wiel Ah Martin again Martin Van Wiel What are your hopes and dreams for yourself and the channel? Oh good question. Um, here's the thing I I say this to you guys all the time and it's because it's true Like I never thought I'd get like 20 people in like I thought I probably hit like sort of 20 subscribers and that'd be it To have I think I think I'm sitting on a minute 1,325 In like a year and a half stream but it's insane to me like and I get like depending on the game that I that I play I can get from like sort of 10 to 40 people in the chat and It's just it's just amazing like I do it because I love to game And I want to show people that it doesn't matter if you're trash at a video game like I am as long as you're having fun It doesn't matter Um, but if I could do it full time, then why would I well? Why would I say no to that? What jobs did you have before your degree? How does nursing affect your social? Oh, was that two questions? That's two questions. Yeah, what jobs did you have before your degree? Sorry, I didn't realize that was two questions. I can answer them both. Okay, so Jobs I had I've literally probably had every single job there is going is the easiest answer to that and the shortest But I have worked in healthcare for 10 years before starting my I was gonna say exactly I've actually don't know what you've done for a living. You've only known me as healthcare I think because I've known you a long time because when did you have here's my question just to interrupt Where's that hat? No, God ask that question If you guys don't know because this is related because I want to know how long I've known her for But like 10 years ago. Was it really so basically when you started this when you started this then because I we we met On on a website just just like sort of chatting website And um, you should have this sideways profile of it was a white tank top. No, it was navy blue and navy blue hat Why do I think it was a white tank top with a brown like with Like and it was like a cowboy hat and it was like I saw that It was like it was like a cowboy hat and it was just like the coolest thing I was like, I'm gonna love your hat pretty sure the pictures somewhere on facebook That was literally how a conversation started was like. Oh my god. Yeah, that a cowboy hat navy blue Navy blue not white. I obviously remember that well Like I don't remember it that way. I just remember the hat picture that was taken in tenor reef Wow, but that's how I've known this girl a long time and that's that must have been when you started It then yeah, so anyway back to the question. What jobs did you have? So, yeah, so I've done 10 years of healthcare in elderly people's homes elderly people's homes Um Nursing homes love nursing homes for the elderly and residential homes with the professional doesn't even know Sorry, it's been a long day So, oh no, I've been on the orthopedic wards. I've been working in sexual health the last four and a half year What else I've worked in loads of healthcare professional places before that I've done a bit of shop work I've done hospitality But my favorite job of all was putting Labels on gammon all day long that was your favorite job.  This is my day. I thought you're crazy. So so this like nursing effect How does your nursing effect your social life? Oh, yeah, so that was the other part of the question. Yeah, um to be honest Have no life I don't know how my life is literally dedicated to nursing and anyone that follows my social media and stuff can see that is literally All my life revolves around I agree is nursing But it is important to break it up and take the time out. Like I said, like we did today Yeah, and go game in and do fun things to Keep you sane, I think. Yeah, we're going back tomorrow to EGX as well, don't we? But yeah, but um To be honest that the nursing degree itself. I haven't found too bad You get days off. You've got time to have a life. So and I if you look at what I do I do loads around there and that's extra stuff that I don't have to do. I don't get paid for it. So yes, so Socially, I don't think it affects my life really. Hmm next question for Emma Oh, I know what you're gonna ask this question came up, right? Before she I've just seen it. I before she asks it, right this We went to um, we're gonna go to an after party. Um, this whole thing to an after party We did. Yeah, we're at this after party. We didn't really stay but they had a game. They started off the after party at the EGX Um by doing this thing called wi-fi wars Oh, it's so good. It was so funny Like it was quite funny because one of the like they to to get the points They asked a yes or no question. Well, they'll see the wi-fi war. It's good. We took some videos Yeah, true. Um, but the fallout question was like it is fallout good. Yeah split the room It was 50 50 but then this question came up. Can I just say my answer one? Which she was not So come on then give it to me. Okay. It's set for us It's her, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah Pineapple on pizza. No. No No Well, you just had like big johns. What did you have pineapple on my? No, I'm sorry But here's the thing. I don't even like pineapple anyway. I know it's not the fact that it's on pizza It's the fact that I don't like pineapple. So regardless you could put on a freaking donor and I still wouldn't need it Because I just don't like pineapple So how do you cope with a part-time job and study? Will I cope? I kind of just answered that question Didn't I? I don't know about the social life. It's kind of the same. Oh, yeah Okay, so oh math question Okay, it's okay. I suppose it's not the set. Sorry. I didn't mean to offend anyone there. It's not the same question. Um So yes Everybody I know works part-time whilst on this course. The only thing I would be wary of is whilst you're on placement You can only do a maximum of 48 hours because it's legal requirements of the law. So Does that include working though? With the placement. Yeah. Yeah. So you do 37 and a half hours. Yeah, so you've only got enough for 10.5 hours Right So 10.5 hours of work and then the rest of it study And then the rest of its placement. Sorry. Yeah, but whilst you're at uni Like some weeks you're only at uni for a day. So you can fit in work around then Um, I've worked all of my annual leave and I worked every weekend whilst I was at uni And then that covers me for when I'm on placement. So I try not to do shifts when I'm on placement Because it's hard stuff work when you're on placement stuff work anyway Yeah, it is but it is possible and it shouldn't affect you too much I think it's harder if you've got children People that struggle are people that have got children because it I can't even imagine how hard it must be for those with children I've just said children about three times all in one sentence. Sorry It's hard if you've got what? Children The kids


So I've been covering a story with CD project red in regards to the development of cyberpunk 2077 and Crunch and needless to say You guys haven't always been thrilled with my coverage of it Most people citing that they've been working overtime Pretty much all of 2020 due to the pandemic People citing that you know why we call on this some magical thing like called crunch Why don't we just call it what it is? It's overtime. We all work overtime. What's the big deal? And hey, these people are really well compensated for their overtime. So whatever who cares? They know what they're signing up for right? I mean never mind that they actually typically don't know what they're signing up for a lot of these developers are fresh out of college When they first joined this company and they just keep Basically cycling through them in fact a lot of developers do end up quitting Because of the culture, but it's tough It's tough and I'm not gonna sit here and tell you that it's wrong to have the opinions that you have We all have various opinions recently You know this game was delayed again For I think this is the third or fourth delay Despite the fact it's gone gold very strange to see a game gone golden But is this the first time in gaming history a game has gone gold and then still been delayed very Weird situation. It's an only a three-week delay supposedly. I mean, I don't know who all bets are off I could easily get delayed into 2021 and they basically admitted when they delayed it That they miscalculated the amount of work that still needed to be done Which is a management issue very clearly a massive management issue There's been management issues all throughout pretty much everything that CD project Ever worked on for some reason management can't get their act together, which is technically what leads to crunch We have heard stories at CD project red that hey, you know what if they didn't piss around We could have got a hell of a lot more done over the last four years It might not even need to crunch at all, but yeah, it is what it is Unverified whatever you want to say well Jason Schreier's at it again in wake of this news and Let's just just take a look at what he said about what a confirmed employee according to him again This is Jason Schreier sources. I can't confirm them Is saying about the work environment currently existing at CD project red right now like this is happening right now? So cyberpunk 2077 getting a three-week delay is Unusual but probably won't change much for the developers many of whom were going to be crunching into December anyways For a post launch patch But I sure do hope reality is becoming clearer to those who tried to deny it Try to deny the crunch goes on to say look a CD project red dev told me recently that they just clocked a 100 hour work week Another former dev just told me they saw some of their friends there and they looked physically ill So kindly GTFO with the but but I work long hours to responses, which I'm kind of paraphrasing I don't know if that's actually how he words it But you know what when you consider that there is only You know 168 hours in a week to imagine a hundred hours at a single job is absolute Insanity and that's the reality that's going on a CD project red right now according to Jason Schreier again He's been on the forefront on the battlegrounds against crunch for a long time Why why we call it crunch versus overtime is specifically because What happens in the video game world versus say you know if you're working at a warehouse, right? And it's holiday season and you have to put an extra hours during the holidays or whatever is Projects get mismanaged Almost all crunch happens because of mismanagement It doesn't happen because there's higher demand for a product at a certain time or there's a higher this or a higher that You know, it typically like when we work overtime when a majority of us work overtime in my experience working overtime at various jobs It's because we had an increase in sales during a certain period There was an increase in orders during a certain period Holiday season warehouse workers and other manufacturers might be working overtime because there's just an increase in product demand But see that's not the case here when it comes to the video game space crunch occurs because Development time is wasted by management miscalculated and leading to Basically having to rush things together in the run-up to release and when you rush things together It leads to super long hours and we're talking 100 hour work weeks He just talked to a developer at CD project red that told him. I just got done clocking a 100 hour work week 100 hours how many work weeks do you think a person can go like that and actually be okay? And then a former dev who quit at CD project red probably because of crunch I assume literally said I just saw some of my friends there and they are physically ill They are getting sick. They are they do not look well. Why they're not seeing sunlight. They're not being active They're not seeing their families. Of course. That's an emotional toll. They're not probably eating well There is a physical and emotional toll that happens when you're pushing 100 hour work weeks I don't care what profession it is.  It doesn't matter a hundred hour work weeks is not healthy for anyone So when we talk about we all work overtime, you're right. We do how many of you work a hundred hour weeks at one job But be honest if you're going to be critical of us Saying that this is wrong How many of you work a hundred hour work weeks? How many of you get physically ill because of your overtime not talking about being tired We all get tired Physically ill hundred hour work weeks physically ill you tell me that that's happening at your job Then you have the right to say oh who cares it happens in my profession, too And yes, there's gonna be certain individuals that do put in that kind of work do put in that kind of time I believe Elon Musk at one point pointed out how he basically just works and sleeps, right? So like there are certain individuals out there that that's just their norm but again Does Elon Musk look physically ill? He's clearly taking care of himself. Of course.  Just be an honest and I don't know What's happening? You know, I don't know what can legally be done about this because this is this is gonna kill people Is it gonna take someone dying before this changes?  I'm sorry. We how can we just sit back and say this is acceptable and the the other excuse That's gonna come out is this is just one person, you know, this is just how can we believe Jason Schreyer? Are you questioning Jason Schreyer's integrity? Now you can disagree with his opinions on things you can disagree with his takes and his angles But you're gonna think that he has fake that he's just making this up that he has fake sources Is that is that because that's questioning his integrity if he's making this up? Absolutely, we should we should burn Jason Schreyer at the stake in terms of his career as a journalist, right? He should never be he should be canned and never work in this industry again Just like Phillip Houston if he's making this up, but we all know Jason Schreyer is not making this up We all know he has legitimate inside sources at these companies. We all know he does his homework You don't have to agree with his homework or agree with his conclusions from his homework But we all know he does his homework. He doesn't just put this stuff out here just to dramatize what's happening in the industry He's directly quoting his sources This isn't that you know the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result This is what CD project red is doing They feel like they can come back crunch that they learn from every project and promise the next batch of developers that we are not going to crunch We have learned we found a way It's not going to happen and then they do it again and again and again because they don't learn Because the managers are people that grew up in the crunch culture So they don't know how to complete a project without crunching and it just continues cyclical and cyclical and over and over again It's hard to get management and control that didn't grow up in that crunch culture in the West especially But you know what happens in the East too. We always ignore Japan. It happens crunch happens in Japan, too You know why it's not talked about You know why it's not talked about Because the developers over there don't complain about it and now you might be like why don't they complain about it? It's an honor thing It's embarrassing to them to complain about an employer. I don't know if you guys know that in Japan It's considered dishonorable to complain about your employer who provides you a paycheck Even though you're earning that paycheck and you're providing them labor You can't complain about your your employer in Japan. It's just it's a cultural thing But we have confirmed reports that it happens over there and employees aren't necessarily healthy all the time This is an industry-wide problem all across the world This is not meant to just specifically target CD project right and I'm not sitting you're telling you Hey, don't buy. Don't buy, you know cyberpunk 2077, right? Don't buy the game like these people are literally Sacrificing their health to provide us a game that might be the greatest game ever made Like if anything that should almost encourage you to buy it Just to say thank you to those developers I mean apparently they even get bonus kickbacks off sales So you're actually gonna help them get bonus paycheck potential even after they quit You know be just just from buying the game So there's a benefit to them to buy it, but you're also telling CD project red that it was worth it that it was worth Almost killing people to get this game out the door this game should be delayed a Year however long it takes So long as people aren't working hundred-hour workings you want to push 50 hours you want to hit 60 Okay, that happens right we all hit 50 60 we work 10 20 hours over time it happens How many of you are working 60 hours over time? per week Not per month per week That should never happen People shouldn't get physically ill because they can't leave the fucking office. I'm sorry for swearing This is a serious thing.  I don't care bring on the dislikes.  No They don't want to walk away from a paycheck. They want to see their project through right? There's a certain dedication level when you start something you want to finish it But not like this. I Don't care about investors You shouldn't care about investors either this game is gonna sell like gangbusters period They could delay it six months. They could delay it a year. It's still going to sell well Whatever they have to do to avoid this kind of crunch the game supposedly went gold Right if it went gold, why are we still working our employees to the bone because the game really isn't gold It's not if it requires a day one patch to play It's not gold now if you want to say there's gonna be a day one patch or a day zero patches They call it that's going to just make the game a little bit better. It's gonna have some enhancements sure But you shouldn't need that patch to play the game But you do and if you need the patch to play the game that means the game ain't gold. It ain't ready to go Ain't ready to go as is you can't print discs and have people play the game Nope, cuz it's not ready. You know, it's not ready. You're gonna print incomplete discs and then release a day one patch That's not ready It's not gonna be ready in time by with November 19th So three week delay and you really think that three week delay estimate is accurate Can you really believe the record to delay it again? I don't know this industry needs change. It needs new management. It needs, you know, we talked about unions I don't know if unions are the answer. I I'm always kind of iffy on unions one way or the other. There's some benefits There's some pitfalls it gets a little political at times I don't want to dive too deep into it because I don't know what the answer really is beyond the fact that we Definitely need better management in this industry. We definitely need better management. I just I don't know I don't know what to do The weird thing is the weird thing is I You know mostly cover Nintendo and Nintendo in Japan in Japan specifically not talking about shows studios or anything Nintendo in Japan Seems to be like the one video game company that doesn't work there You know, they're the programmers and their artists into the floor It's it's weird, right? Like they just don't We have all the reports coming out that they're very comfortable delaying games for however long they need to just so they Don't have to force employees to work unhealthy amounts of hours It's kind of crazy. I mean you always have directors, you know The usuals that are good to put in the extra time right the sacrifice of the world They're those guys are expected to put in the extra time. They are the leaders of the project They should be leading the way of course, they're gonna put in more time than their employees do They absolutely should aging a new one should spend more time With the Zelda stuff than any of the other people on the Zelda team besides maybe the director of the new game so it to me It's a cultural thing at this point in the industry that has made this okay And the stories keep getting buried every time cyberpunk 2777 is gonna come out and the stories are gonna go away It's gonna be a fart in the wind. We're all gonna be talking about how awesome the game is and we're just gonna forget We're gonna forget Until the stories rear their head again next year and then the year after the year after The more we dismiss the stories The less pressure we put on these companies The longer this is going to continue Again, someone's gonna die someday Someone's going to die at their job programming a video game If we let this continue because it's getting worse Hundred-dollar work weeks man, that's even worse than I thought it was I thought they were just pushing 60 70 hundred hours my god, I Hope you know, I'm I'm religious. It's okay. If you're not I hope the Lord is watching over those developers, man Please bring them home safe to their families at the end of this.  Thank you for tuning in and I'll catch you in the next video


In this session, we will try to develop relationship between spot exchange rate, foreign exchange rate and interest rates. By covered interest arbitrage means covered or protection in the event of a change in the exchange rates because of a power contract. For example, we have market info on US and Swiss currencies and that says that spot exchange rate between Swiss and US currency is equal to 2 Swiss francs and we have 360 days power rate and that is 1.90 Swiss francs against 1 dollar. A nominal interest, nominal risk free interest rate in US is equal to 10% whereas in Switzerland it is 5%. Now assuming 1 dollar we have and we need to invest this 1 dollar into some riskless investment. So would there be any arbitrage opportunity? We have an option that is option 1 where we can invest this 1 dollar in riskless US investment say pre 60 day T bills and at 10% riskless interest rate if this 1 dollar is grown over a period of 1 year then at the end of year 1 it comes to 1.10 US dollar. Now as a second alternative we have an arbitrage opportunity and let's see how this arbitrage process work. We need to take the certain number of steps like at first we need to convert 1 US dollar into Swiss franc at the rate of 2 and in this way we will be getting 2 Swiss francs then we will at the same time we will be getting a forward contract of 360 days which is 1.90 Swiss francs. We are entering into this forward contract because we need to convert our Swiss franc into US dollar at the end of the period. Then at the third step we need to invest the 2 Swiss francs in Switzerland in riskless investments let's see if we put this 2 Swiss francs into riskless investment at the risk free interest rate of 5% then this 2 Swiss francs will be grown to the amount of 2.10 Swiss francs. Now we need to convert this Swiss franc of 2.10 into a dollar at the forward contract rate of 1.90 so we will be getting 1.1053 US dollars. So in this way we see that there is a difference of 0.03 and their difference is higher than the return we have earned in US riskless investment. So we can conclude that if we have 2 riskless investments then there exists some opportunity for the arbitrage transaction. Now let's talk about interest rate parity. Assuming no covered interest arbitrage opportunities in existence then there must be in existence some relationship between spot exchange rate, forward exchange rate and relative interest rates. Now to see let's equate our earlier 2 options option 1 and option 2 to prevent any arbitrage opportunity. So we have an equation the left hand side of that equation is the 1 plus R US and that is the interest rate of US which is equal to the spot exchange rate multiplied by the relationship between interest rate of a foreign country and the forward exchange rate. We can also replace this equation for t time period in order to determine the effect over a certain period of time. As per interest rate parity the percentage forward premium or discount is approximately equal to the interest rate differences which we can see in the equation on the left hand side the equation is showing the forward premium or forward discount whereas on the right hand side the equation is showing the difference in the inflation rate of 2 countries like a domestic country and a foreign country. As per interest rate parity interest rate differential of any 2 country can offset the changes in the relative value of the currencies. This means that in this way the opportunities for arbitrage transactions can be eliminated. To understand this let's take an example we have a spot exchange rate between Japanese yen and US dollar equal to 120 Japanese yen whereas interest rate in US is equal to 10 percent and in Japan it is equal to 5 percent. So in the presence of this data what would be the forward rate to prevent the covered interest arbitrage. Now if we put this data into the equation of that we have earlier seen where we equate the model one option one with option two and putting the values into this equation we come to the value of 114 Japanese yen and at this forward exchange rate the possibilities of arbitrage opportunities is eliminated. Now how we can develop the relationship between forward exchange rates and future spot rates. We see that the there is a condition that is called as unbiased forward rate conditions and ignoring the risk this condition should hold well. This means that the consistent decline in the forward rate than the future spot rate and in that case anyone wanting currency in future would consistently get more you know of that currency but not agreeing or entering into the forward exchange. And if this is the situation then the forward rate will be increased to get anyone interested in the forward exchange rate and same is true for the opposite of this condition. For these two reasons we can see that the forward and actual spot rates should be equal to each other on average. Let's see the implications of relationship between purchasing power parity, interest rate parity and the UFRR unbiased forward rate. At first we develop the relationship between uncovered interest rate parity for that purpose we need to put international financial market relationship in one place that we have developed earlier means we have the equations for purchasing power parity interest rate parity and unbiased forward rate and if we combine the unbiased forward rate and interest rate parity we see that the unbiased interest parity is equal to and this is basically that the expected spot exchange rate after one period is equal to the spot exchange rate as grown by the differential of interest rates between the two countries. Now let's talk about international fisher effect to that purpose we now compare purchasing power parity and the UIP we have the equations of the two sides and we see that both of the equations have expected spot exchange rate on their left side and their right sides then must be equal to each other if we equalize their right side to each other we see that the difference between the inflation rate is equal to the difference between the interest rate of the two countries. So if this means if we try to rearrange this equation we see that the real rates are basically equal across the countries.


It's time to You already know so yeah, it's just gonna be a little chit chat get ready with me Oh before we even get started to this video girl What are you doing like you need to click subscribe and you need to get this video thumbs up?

All praise is due to Allah, and we were greatly tidaken on Allah's squares. answer myself if you have any personal concerns or third-hand concerns. Let's pray old greetings with the satisfying blandness of the prophets and the people of Islam and Assembly. Reflected brothers and sisters, we begin with praising Allah as he Fuqa Alahu Wa Ta'ala he is most worthy in deserving of being praised. We ask Allah Almighty to forgive us of our sins, our shortcomings, our weaknesses. We ask Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala to keep us guided to prevent us from being misguided and from misguiding others. And we ask Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala to bless his noble Prophet Muhammad ibn Abdullah Sallallahu alayhi wa hadihi wa sahbihi wa saddam to bless his noble companions, his family, and the righteous everywhere. I struggled a little bit to think of an appropriate topic for today's hukba, not because it was anything unique about today, but rather where I was in terms of my own reflections. Because my sort of two leading principles with regards to coming up with a topic for the hukba is generally where am I with regards to my own headspace, my own reflections. And at the same time, to come up with something that is topical, that is relevant. Because I think that one of the real challenges that we have as a community is conversations that occur in our community, let's say they start here at the minbar, that are relevant, right? Oftentimes, we complain, at least in hutch tones, probably not on a communal level yet, about the hukba topic of today and what we heard and how it wasn't relevant and it really wasn't very engaging. And so that obviously presents a challenge for me at times because oftentimes where I am with regards to my own reflections, isn't necessarily topical. And so that is the challenge that I found myself today. And I usually don't begin my hukbas this sort of autobiographical, so please excuse my indulgence, but I'm just trying to keep it real, right? As it were, especially when I'm talking to an audience that is largely younger than me, which is always refreshing. But you know, and so I just try to be vulnerable and real at the same time. And so what I hope to do is to be honest and true to myself in presenting where I am with regards to my own sort of personal headspace and reflections. And at the same time what I hope is something topical at the same time. And so I want to begin by referencing a dream, a dream that is attributed to Mambanik, I don't know if you'll know who I'm, one of the great legal scholars, jurists of our tradition. And it is said that Mambanik had a dream and in his dream he sees a figure who he identifies as Medican moat, the angel of death. And he asks the angel of death in his dream as to imagine any one of us would, whether we're conscious or unconscious, whether we're in our dream or in reality, if you were to be confronted by the angel of death, what would you most likely ask the angel of death? Is it my time, right? How long do I have to live? And so Mambanik asks that exact question, how long do I have to live? And the angel of death, Medican moat, only responds by beckoning him with this gesture of five. What does that mean? Is that five months, five minutes, five hours, five years? What does that mean? How long do I have to live? And again, the only response that he is able to elicit and able to, the only response he gets from Medican moat is that gesture. And so he wakes up and he's confused and he's concerned. And so he goes to a scholar, a renowned scholar and interpreter of dreams. And he asks Ali Birati and he asks, what does this mean? What does this dream mean? And he says, Ya Mambanik, what you ask is one of the five areas of knowledge, of information that is known only to Allah, Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. Inna Allaha, indhu ilm wa sa'a wa yunazilu ghaif wa la ya'lamu maafil arham wa mad tadali nafsum madad taqsibu ghada'a wa mad tadali nafsum bi ayi ardin tamut. That to Allah, Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, belongs the knowledge of these five things. When the day of judgment will begin, when the moment of the end will be, when the rains descend down, when the rains fall, and I'm sorry, that which is contained in the wombs of the mother, that which is contained in the gender and life expectancy and those type of things, only Allah knows. That which is contained in the wombs of the mother, that when the hour or when rain shall descend from the heavens, that which every soul shall earn tomorrow, so one's risk and one's sustenance, where and when that person or how much that person will earn tomorrow is only with Allah. And the place and the moment of a soul's death is only with Allah, Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. So these are the five areas that only Allah knows. And so where I am and where I wanted to reflect on today is with regards to our own mortality. And I say that again, knowing that I'm speaking to an audience that is largely people who are younger than me. But the fact of the matter, brothers and sisters, is no matter how young or old we are, no matter if we're the best shape of our life, the best health, clean bill of health, clean slate of health, you don't know. The reality is that life by its very existence, life by its very nature, excuse me, is a terminal condition in that every moment that passes is a moment that you will never enjoy again. And that's not to be a sort of macabre or sort of depressing reflection on death. And that's not what I hope to do today. But rather for us to be cognizant of the fact that our mortality is closer to us as the Prophet, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, said than the heels of our shoes, the heels of our sandals. That's how close we are day in and day out with regards to our demise, to our mortality. And it is said that the Prophet, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam would reflect on death, depending on different riyah, different traditions, at minimum 70 times a day, perhaps more, that he would reflect on death. And I would submit to you, brothers and sisters, that that reflection was not a reflection to be morose or depressing, right? It wasn't a bleak outlook on the part of the Prophet, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. But rather it was a few things. First and foremost, it was acknowledging that death is a reality, right? Death is a reality, right? We say that every soul shall taste death, every soul. That's an inescapable reality. Where do you think you can hide and escape death? It'll find you even in the loftiest of towers. It's inescapable. The Prophet, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he once said something very, very profound and everything the Prophet, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam tells us is profound.  But before I reflect on that prophetic tradition, I want us to pause and take a moment to reflect on the sort of theological sensibilities of those around him. That is, who the Prophet, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, was speaking to, his community that he was addressing, their theology, their outlook with regards to God and the afterlife. And what we know about 7th century Arabian Hijazi theology is that it wasn't so much a denial of the belief in God. They had a belief in God. Even in spite of their paganism, they believed in a supreme being, a God. And so, when we think about the theology of the time, it wasn't a denial or rejection of the fact that God exists. But one of the interesting components of that theology was with regards to their concept of an eschatology, their concept of a life after death. They believed that death was the end of existence and that was it. That was it. That was the end of your legacy.  That's how you were forgotten and you went into oblivion. But there was no concept of a life you're after. There was no concept of an akhira where every soul is held accountable for their actions or where based upon how they lived their lives in the Hayat ad Dunya, in the life of this world, they would be judged accordingly. And according to that, they would be either afforded bliss, i.e. paradise, jannah, or jannah, the hellfire. That was the component of the theology that they struggled with or they lacked. And certainly, when we see the early revelations of the Qur'an, Juz'amda, for example, the 30th chapter, the 30th part of the Qur'an, the 30th Juz, and you look at the theological conversations that is happening in those verses and in those surahs, they deal primarily, among other things, of course, but with regards to this concept of theology, with regards to an afterlife, that you will be held accountable for how you live, that this life isn't just it, that there's a purpose to this existence. And the purpose of this existence is that your akhira, your life you're after, is predicated upon. That is to say that the life you're after is based on how you live this life. They're directly related, that correlation. And so that was the sort of backdrop of the people that the Prophet, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, was engaging. And that's why he says, What will make you realize that the moment of your end is near? Now you can interpret that to say that the day of judgment is near, but the reality is that every soul, the reality is that for us, our day of judgment begins the moment we die because our records are closed and we are accountable for Allah. So regardless of how many years or centuries or epochs of time exist between your moment of death and the day of judgment, regardless of all of that time, the fact of the matter is that our day of judgment, our reckoning, our isa, begins the moment we breathe our last. That's the moment. So, and the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and his Hadith, and we'll sort of wrap up with this, is what's interesting to note and reflect on is how the Prophet is phrasing this, right? Because in the Arabic language, you can say wama adharaqa or you can say wama yudrika, right? And there's a difference. And it's not as subtle as it sounds in Arabic. It's a very distinct difference. And the difference is that when you say wama yudrika, right? It usually, I'm sorry, well, let me take the other one. When you say wama adharaqa, it means that there is a possibility per chance you will understand something. So if the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam would have said wama adharaqa la ala sa'a tapunu qariba, that what will make you realize that your end is near, the idea would have been in the construction of the Arabic language that there's a possibility that you'll get it. You may just get it. You'll figure it out. But when in Arabic you say wama yudrika, right? It means that you'll never, ever truly understand. Because the fact of the matter is, today I'm reflecting on death. When I go home and I'm with my children or when I'm planning for next week, I sort of exist in a bubble of my own self-contained and self-created immortality. A guarantee that I'll live till next week. A guarantee that I'll still be here next year to plan for my daughter's 10th birthday. Whatever. I mean, just give me an example, right? Birthday party's a hot on me. Just throw me an example, sorry. So that's just, but that's the reality that we, and even when we think about our own vernacular in the way in which we converse and we talk, the reality is, regardless of, even if you're a marginally practicing Muslim, right? And I don't take that, I don't use that expression lightly. The fact is, you know, your language is generally peppered with what? Insha'Allah, insha'Allah, Alhamdulillah, if God willing, this'll happen. Praise be to God, praise be to God in the name of God and so on. That's just the way we've constructed our vernacular, the way we speak, right? Regardless of how, quote unquote, practicing we are, or what have you. So our culture is sort of infused, Alhamdulillah, you know, praise be to God, that that's the case, that our culture is infused with often remembering God, right? Whether we're conscious of it or not. But the reality is that the remembrance of death is not only something that is not part of our vernacular, it's in fact something that we shy away from. It's not regarded as good polite dinner conversation to talk about death, right? I'll say this very story, and again, my clippings are never this autobiographical. I don't know why I'm in this space today, but if you, again, indulge me. I was probably 21 years old, maybe 20.  Anyway, long story short. We're at this Mina conference, right?  And at that time, the headlining speaker was someone I had never heard of. Maybe you've heard of Chek Habze Yusuf. At that time, I'm talking again, I'm dating myself, circa 1995, who's this young Imam? May Allah always keep him young and preserving half of the law. But at that time, certainly, young sort of white-hit Convert Imam from California, who talks about the great weather out in the Bay Area. This is Dallas, by the way, circa 1995. And we were asked to, it was a Mina conference going on, but at the same time, a family approached some of the Mina organizers, and they asked us to give a speech at a graduate event. So they pulled whatever speakers they could, and somehow Chek Habze got dragged into that. And I did. So at the graduation speech, this is young man graduating high school. God bless him. Pray that he went on to beautiful things. Top of the eye chose was about reflecting on death.  But anyway, talking about death is certainly not seen as polite dinner conversation, right? In fact, even in our western vernacular, the way we speak, we try, there's almost these clever euphemisms people use, right? Person dies, you say that person kicked the bucket. He bought the farm, right? He's fertilizing daffodils. I mean, that might be not one you've heard of, but whatever, these are common euphemistic expressions people use when we talk about death. Because nobody wants to talk about death. It's not pleasant. And yet we know from our tradition that the Prophet, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, reflected on death at minimum 70 times a day. And as I said at the very outset, brothers and sisters, that I would submit to you that that reflection of death was not a depressing morose reflection on death, but rather the Prophet, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, was teaching us that by reflecting on death, we would enhance our lives. And what I mean by that is if you imagine that every moment that you lived was your last, that when you left to work this morning, was the last time you would see your wife, or the last time you would be with your children, or that when you left your parents this morning, when you went off to school, that that was the last time you would ever see them. Would you be worried about the fact that the coffee wasn't strong enough? Would you be complaining that it was eggs for breakfast instead of French toast? Would you argue about the fact that the laundry wasn't put away the night before? And I'm not saying these things aren't important. They are in their own ways, right? I like laundry being put away. But the fact is that when we reflect on death, or when we think about the fact that our daily interactions with our spouses, with our parents, with our children, with our brothers and sisters in our community could truly be the very last moment you have with that person, that would enhance those, that reflection would enhance those relationships. What kind of a relationship would you have with your wife, with your children, with your parents, with your community members if you realize or reflect it for a moment that that could be the last time you ever saw that person? Right? The last time you ever saw that person. And I say that also not only to be mindful of how we would interact with others, but imagine how we would interact with Allah, with God. Imagine if you knew that the prayer you're about to pray right now in shortly, very shortly. I know people are getting restless when past four o'clock. All right. That could be our very last prayer. How, what would be the quality of that prayer? What would be the reflection, the fushua, the contemplation within that prayer, right? Imagine. Imagine if you knew that this weekend when you fast, this is the top of the part. The fasted the 10th of Muharram, right? Fasted Muharram. And you realize that that might be the very last time you ever fast. Imagine the quality of that day and how you would spend that day, right? You would live each moment to its absolute fullest. And finally, brothers and sisters, I submit to you that the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, called upon us, exemplified this reflection of death and one's mortality, not only to enhance our lives, but also to be mindful of our legacy, of what we leave behind. Because the fact of the matter is, as one of my teachers likes to say, none of us here are getting, none of us are getting out of here alive and none of us are gonna get away with anything. And what he means by that is, none of us are leaving this earthly existence alive where we're all going to die. And none of us are going to get away with anything that we did in this life. That's what Yom Unhesad is about. That's what the day of reckoning and accountability is about. Is about mitigate, is about true justice. Is about all right, all wrongs being right. That's what that day is, right? And so the fact is, brothers and sisters, how a legacy, what we are leaving behind, how will you be remembered? How will you be remembered? What is the legacy that you leave behind, right? That is a reflection of our own mortality, yes. But more importantly, but it's not a selfish or a narcissistic or self-absorbed reflection of mortality, but rather it's, what am I doing with my life? Am I doing something with my life that will truly be something that others will benefit from after I die, right? Is my life's work a Sadaqat of Jaria, right? Is it a Sadaqa that will be, that will go into for posterity, right? For our future. That's the reflection that the Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is calling upon us. So I ask and I pray that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gives us the ability to understand the profundity of not only this particular reflection of this beautiful tradition, but all of the various parts of our tradition. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bless our communities, bless our families, bless us individually and collectively, keep us in good health and well-being, and may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala forgive us of our shortcomings.  All praise is due to Allah, His mercy, His mercy, and His forgiveness. I seek refuge with Allah from the evils of our souls and from the evil of our deeds, for whom Allah has protected, and has not misguided, and has not misguided, and has not misguided. And I bear witness that there is no god except Allah, and He alone is no partner. And I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. May Allah subhanahu alayhi wa alayhi wa sahbihi wa sallam. O my children, be mindful of Allah, his rights to fight, and do not die except when you are Muslim.  And be mindful of Allah who has cursed us with His mercy. May Allah have mercy on you. O my children and people, be mindful of Allah, and say to a great people, that your deeds will be reformed, and your attacks will be forgiven. And whoever comes to Allah and His Messenger, will have a great victory, or even later. Subhanallah. Rabbika Rabbil Izzat, Ya Ma Yusifoon. Wa Salamun A'lam Musaleen. Wa Alhamdulillahi Rabbil A'lamin Wa Ahfim Al-Salaam.


Namaste, I am Dr. Abhishek Patil, Consultant Rheumatologist at Manipal Hospital's Old Airport Road. In the wake of this COVID-19, I am getting a lot of queries from my rheumatology patients suffering from arthritis and various other autoimmune diseases regarding the disease, the drugs that they need to continue, the drugs that they need to avoid and any special precautions that they need to take. So I thought I will bring out this small video to describe the same thing. First thing and most importantly, do not discontinue your medications. As of now, with the limited data which is available, rheumatology patients are not at a higher risk of acquiring the infection or even if they acquire COVID-19, we do not have enough data to suggest that they are at a higher risk than any other general population. So do not discontinue your medicines because if you discontinue, there is always a risk of fly-up of the disease. Second thing that rheumatological diseases run a wide spectrum of manifestations. They range from diseases such as fibromyalgia, gout, to rheumatized arthritis, to diseases such as vasculitis and lupus. So it is your disease predisposition to COVID-19 may vary from which manifestation that which disease you are suffering from and what kind of medications that you are on. Third thing is, you get in touch with your rheumatologist, be at Manipal hospitals including my colleagues offering tele-consultation. So you can always make use of this tele-consultation facilities. During this troubled times, it is better to avoid physical consultation provided your disease is stable. So you can always send a mail text or you can get in touch with our helpline that is 1-800-102-005-005, fix up an appointment for tele-consultation and then we can help you. We can get in touch with you and then see whether you need to continue the medicines if there is any modification in your treatment plan that needs to be done on the wake of COVID-19 or we can just continue that same medication. In less than 10% of the patients where your disease is particularly very unstable or some patients such as those suffering from vasculitis where examination is very important, we might ask you to come down to the hospitals. The next thing is unavailability of few of the drugs such as hydroxychloroquine. We all know that hydroxychloroquine is proposed as a drug for COVID-19 treatment and there after it has gone out of the stock at many places. At Manipal Hospital we are doing our best to provide those drugs to the drug patients and you can always get in touch with us for the prescription and procurement of the drug. That drug hydroxychloroquine is particularly important for patients with lupus and other connective tissue diseases and it is not recommended to stop the drug at once without your drop test advice. Third thing very importantly you should follow the same general precautions that is being advocated for everyone that is physical and distancing of at least six feet. Always use your elbows to cover your cough, frequently wash your hands with soap and water and use simple homemade cloth mask. To summarize my video it's very simple follow the same general precautions as everyone else. Being a rheumatology patient doesn't mean that you are at a much higher risk than anyone else. Please consult your rheumatologist to see whether you need to continue the same medications or you need to have some modifications in the treatment regimen and fourth is tele-consultation is the best method currently and only if required you need to come down to the OPT2 CS. Thank you.


Hi, Josh. Howdy. How's it going? So many meetings. Yeah. The, I feel like went through the cycle where in like March, April, there was all the meetings. And then people got kind of burned out. And in May and June, the number of meetings. Dropped. And now we're back to. Five hours of meetings a day. Yeah. Yeah, I know the feeling. My whole, my whole afternoon is just like crammed nonstop. Oh, hey. Do you know, you know Alison Downey from Kubernetes? I do indeed. Yeah. She's moving to London. Is she, she was actually, she was ready to move to London. And then she got stuck in New Zealand. I think, personally, I think she's crazy to move from the only COVID free country in the world. To the UK, but okay. Yeah. There's job related things. Cool. Do you know when she's, when she's actually going to be here? Uh, next month. Okay, perfect. I'll make sure I, I'll make sure I reach out to her. April. Yeah. Yeah. Get together with her for a socially distanced to your coffee or something. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, yeah, it's been. We didn't set out to do the pod slash bubble thing. I'm really amused with that being concept being called pods. For obvious reasons. But we've ended up doing it anyway, right? Um, the only friends that we feel really comfortable. Seeing in person. Are the ones who we know are not terrifically social. Yep. Yeah, there's another couple that live in our neighborhood. Uh, that are like that. They're the only ones that we see. And so every weekend we've been just getting together and one or the other's houses and interestingly enough, playing pandemic. Cause there's not enough. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Have, have you played any of the pandemic extension sets? Yeah. So we're actually playing pandemic legacy. And so we started and we got like halfway through it. Um, and then the pandemic started and then we had to take a break from it. Um, and now we're back to finishing the second half of legacy. But we've played three or four weekends in our row. And you know, we're still, we're still not done. We still have a few more games to go. Okay. But yeah, it's, it's fun. Hey, Remi. Hi there. Everybody. You and ages. Yeah. That's what happens when nobody leaves their house. Oh, it's great. It is great to see everybody.   Uh, you know, for, you know, a big part of this whole open source thing is the people and I, I relish these types of events here where we're, we're getting the band back together a little bit. It's nice. Cool. What's your gig these days? So I'm the newly minted head of open source over at Spotify. So I've been helping to spin up their Ospo. They already had a pretty awesome, uh, group of people internally called the FOS board that's been sort of doing all of the functions of the Ospo that includes a bunch of folks like Lynn root from PSF and a couple of other like FOS stalwarts. So there's a lot of like great culture and tools and stuff here. And I'm just here to sort of help glue it all together. Nice. And turn it. Yeah. Are you still over pivotal way? We got acquired by VMware. And in that process, I switched from running our Kubernetes contributor strategy to, um, to the open source program office, which is a change that I, I wanted to make because VMware has loads people doing Kubernetes contributor strategy. They didn't need me as one more. I'm happy to do community strategy within Ospo. So that's what I'm doing. So it's, it's been pretty fantastic. I love it. Yeah. Awesome. Are you still rocking out with the chaos folks a little bit too? Oh yeah. Yep. Just got off a call with them. Like Josh and I were talking about is meeting marathons today. Yeah. Oh, that's awesome. Okay. Well, I think we've got, uh, the people that we're going to get today. Um, there's not much on the agenda. So I think people were not excited about showing up. Um, the, um, April, are you able to hear at this point? Cool. Okay.  This is an official meeting the CNCF. We're under the CNCF code of conduct. Be nice. Um, and, um, then let's get started. Um, so, um, for the minutes, I want to do a follow up in the badge proposal, but Dimms is not here. I just pinged him. Let's go back to that if he shows up, um, because we have more follow up to doing that to make it a real proposal. Um, the one bit was for anybody, wasn't it at, um, last week's general contributor strategy meeting. The general, um, SIG felt that we could actually commit to following up with spot checks of the annual reviews in order to verify badges, which was one of the sort of open questions. Um, the, um, so, um, and then we'll talk more about it if Dimms is able to join. Um, if he's not in the room. Um, so, um, let's go over to the leader. Um, the leadership documents that dawn. Yeah. So I would say there are probably not really any changes since, um, since last week. So, uh, Josh, you signed up for adding something about rotation. Yes, there. Where? Oh, under rotation. Best practice for leadership selection. Oh yeah. Um, I thought, sorry. I thought you were going to add a few sentences about your, your thoughts on rotation. So it says something here about how rotation leadership adds. Do I have an old version of this? Yes, you do. Let me refresh. There it is. Look at that. Sorry. I looked at this right before too. And it didn't auto refresh for some reason. Yeah. Yeah. I added a few other minor things here and there. Perfect. Nothing substantial. Awesome. So then I think the only piece that we need. So Jennifer, I think you were going to add something about the transition from existing leadership to new governance. I have not added that. Okay. I will work on that. Perfect. Um, so if, uh, once that gets added, if people are okay with this, I think what I'll do, I'll just give it another quick once over. And then I can. Um, just PR it into the, the repo as a. Resource. Yeah. I mean, I can think of lots of things to add to this, but what's there is a solid initial contact, you know. And then we can just keep adding to it as we go. Yeah, exactly.  Getting enough out there that it's useful for people and then we can continue to add to it as we need to. I mean, nothing's ever done. Right. Cool. Um, okay. Yeah, that's all I have on that. Okay. Um, I added one of the other checklist items there. Um, the what is governance document. Um, the, um, um, because that's on the list and this is just sort of an introduction to our advice on governance. Um, the, um, um, a lot of this is taken from. Uh, the chapter that I wrote for the open source way. Um, with rearranged and with changes made to make it more specifically applicable to the CNCF. Um, the, um, but one of the questions that comes from that is, um, I do have any licensing restrictions. Um, because, because I did copy and paste some material written by other people as well. Um, it was, it was a collaborative effort. And, um, the open source way is, um, I licensed CC share alike. Um, so. Um, one of my questions is going to be whether or not it's okay for us to have material that's licensed that way in our recommendations. The CNCS folks perhaps help advise on. Yeah. Yeah. I guess if we're okay with that, then yes, then the next thing to do would be to escalate it to CNCF leadership slash legal. And make sure that we're not breaking a rule there. Right. I mean, you said you wrote most of it right for the. Yeah, it's just the issue of going back and reverting to only the core material that I wrote and only using that so that we can license it however we want would be a lot of effort.  Um, Brian, um, uh, Barenhausen edited it. And his contributions are under CC by SA. So I would have to basically undo all those edits, which would be painful.  You know, up to a certain standard that we're probably all pretty comfortable with. So, um, then I think it's just a question of like having the legal checkoff that we're doing the right thing. Um, okay. So I will go ahead and escalate that to CNCF and make sure there's no problem with CC by SA. Um, if they're okay with that, then I will just add a line at the bottom of that particular file that says some material from the open source way. Um, the, um, any other thoughts on that? I, one of the things that I feel is missing here is I need to actually tie in some more information about the other sections of our planned advisory outlines. Um, because right now this has roles and paperwork, um, but we need to have stuff on, you know, tied into leadership, tied into some of the other documents that we're planning so that it's more of an, uh, an introduction. Um, okay. I see that probably. Okay. Oh, Dim's left some comments on this. Which is nice. Cool. Okay. Well, if people have other thoughts, um, if people can have anything to contribute to that, then obviously we're in our early draft stage. Um, please do. Um, otherwise I will work on tying in the rest of the bits, um, of the advisory, um, folder, um, into that. So we have lead insta everything. Um, and then go ahead and submit it as a resource PR. Okay. Um, so look at the rest of content tracking. Which would be issue number 37. If people want to flip to that. It's really to volunteer for role definitions, but if not, I have some material for that. I thought the contributor team was going to pick that one up because it's really similar to the contributor ladder. Yeah. I think it was Paris and team that we're going to pick it up. Okay. Yeah. I thought we had some kind of volunteer for that. Because I remember thinking, okay, I'm not doing that. I'm doing policies and procedures because I have a bunch of material for that and then people add more to it. Um, the, um, uh, resource list is actually already started. Um, with a PR. Um, so we have a few other things that aren't attributed. Um, how to shut down archive a project. Um, Um, I think the reason why this falls under governance working group is, um, picking who handles security issues is very definitely a governance issue. Um, particularly it becomes a governance issue if you do it badly. So, um, the, um, um, how to keep your communications open. Um, this would be sort of an advisory, particularly an important advisory for projects that are going from being single organization to multi organization. Um, and, um, and then one of the other things that we need to think about doing is adding templates for all of the things that we're describing. That should go into the new project template. And we haven't even really tackled any of the requirements stuff yet. Feedback on that thoughts on that. Anybody want to volunteer to take any one of the unclaimed sections. Quick question. Um, for the security issue handling guidelines that got in quote, uh, in parentheses sync security. Is that like, is the idea that maybe six security should handle that or. It's the idea that at least six security should be involved. As in whoever's working on this needs to ping them to see if they have. Advice. For projects.  That we can just point to. Um, um, you know, and then confine ourselves to just writing up a thing of, Hey, here's how here's ways you can choose a security committee. Um, because part of it, we have to look over things, you know, advice like, Hey, when your project is really small, your security committee will probably also just be the lead maintainers. But as the project gets bigger and more complicated, you're probably going to need a separate security team. Um, and here's how a bunch of different, here's how some of the things that we're talking about. Um, and here's how a bunch of different, here's how some projects handle that. Um, I mean, that's the governance issue that we absolutely can't leave alone. Hopefully six security is material on now. Here's how that team should behave. Um, and if they don't already have that, then somebody would need to ask them to actually prepare that. Um, I can volunteer to take. But how to shut down an archive and then how to keep columns open. Um, do you have like a date by which we're trying to get this all in, or is it just like now? Of course. Hi, as soon as we can. Um, the, um, it's really hard to have. Given the times I try to avoid setting deadlines on things that are not tied to. This is true. Yes. External do or die deadlines. Um, yeah. As long as we're making progress. I mean, I think that's one of the things. Honestly, none of these documents will ever really be finished. Yeah. So, so, I mean, our focus should more like we did with the leadership document of, Hey, let's get a minimum viable document up that projects can look at because it's still going to be more than they have. Um, and then we can just keep. Putting pull requests against those to improve them. Okay. I could, I could tackle the charter one. I'll add myself to the security issue handling guidelines. One on. And sync with the security folks. And that's Jennifer. Just. Yeah. I know it on my video on. Thanks. Yep. And the resource list is just really a group effort. So basically the resource list is a folders already been created with that for that and several documents in the, the contributor strategy repo. And as you run across external items that we're worth looking at for, you know, whichever content you're working on. I add links to this. The, I'm putting myself down to coordinate with contributor growth for the role definition, how to do role definitions. And I'm already on there for paperwork. Okay. So that's most of the things. And then we can sort of knock out all this advisory stuff. And then we can start on some of the requirements stuff. And we're doing it in that order because a lot of the requirements stuff will be like, you need to do this. And here's an advisory document on how to do that. Yeah. The question I had for you is how important are the templates versus these documents? Because obviously all of these documents are going to generate templates. Should we work on getting a core set of docs and then work on getting a core set of templates or should we do them in parallel? Any thoughts? I'd say in parallel is fine. I would say do the thing that you feel like doing at the time. Like if you're really hot to do templates and you're going to knock out a bunch of templates and, you know, make PRs for those, then do it, right?  Given how much content we've assigned ourselves, it's, from my perspective, do the thing that you're actually going to get done. Cool. Sounds good. You know, and so I was saying we're kind of leaving off the requirements stuff, but that's a very soft rule. If you have ideas to write up things for the requirements, particularly some of the requirements that we've had a lot of discussion about already, then don't hold back because, oh, I need to do this other document first. Okay. So that was content tracking. And of course I didn't take notes for any of that because too many screens. Are there other, oh, okay. The adding resources page, by the way, is still open as a pull request. So, because apparently we're waiting on Paris to respond to a bunch of corrections. Okay. So that's still pending as a pull request, and then we'll have something that we can add stuff to. Beyond that we don't have any new issues. So it's just all this content generation. If anybody has time to add any notes on what we just discussed regarding the content generation, please go ahead. Otherwise, do we have any other business? So Dims, by the way, is definitely not joining us. And so I would rather wait and follow up on the badge proposal in places where he can participate, which probably means on Slack. Probably means on Slack. It still feels like something that we want to propose. People were positive about it, both in SIG Contributor Strategy, and there was brief conversation about it in the TOC meeting this morning. And people were very interested in seeing a final proposal. So I do think that we want to go ahead with that, but it needs a lot of fleshing out. Okay, anybody have anything else? None for me. I hope I'm good. Okay. Okay, well, thanks all. No harm in making a meeting shorter in our meeting days. If you can use the extra half an hour to do a little bit of writing or review of either of those documents. Don, well, wait, we're waiting for one bit in that, in your document and then you can submit as a PR, right? Exactly. Okay. We will get that set up. Cool. Okay. Sounds good. Thanks everybody. And look for, look for conversation in Slack about the batch proposal. Well, see you all later. Bye everyone.
