labeled inappropriate So many things are Roger Like these seat these IKEA cushions seat cushions aren't the best You're on a seat cushion Yeah, you know the ones you get for the IKEA chairs. Hmm. No, I don't buy me. I know what you mean I don't really well they sell these cushions. Gotcha It's kind of lumpy No butt jokes by the way. No, we are live. Hi everyone What's happening Justin Robert Young and I are busily tracking down all this late-breaking news.  No, I'm not even joking though. We had news man. There's some news out here Everybody go watch my video. I posted from clips. Oh Good, where'd you post it? Twitter nice Also to save it to my camera roll and then post it there, which I think kind of defeats the purpose Yeah, shouldn't you be able to share right from clips, right? That's the idea. Yes, it didn't look easy Okay, I thought I clicked. Oh man. I hate it. What tweet deck does that I? I Thought I had clicked on your there's yet don't play the odd There's curse words in the audio, but I thought I had clicked on your video And instead I got a picture of Steve Bannon because it had flipped down Okay, now I'm looking at your video look at this awesome. Oh, I see I Have a gray face So it doesn't show you like what it looks like it just keeps like showing like hey talk here talk here So I just kept talking and I just kept adding to the thing Then eventually I just realized I was making a movie does speech to text though, right? Yeah. Yeah. No, that's not where that part It's working pretty good.   I don't know who that's more insulting toward what? Who said that probably most insulting to pornography kung fu drafter has an email in our show today as a matter of fact I saw Veronica's and it worked well I mean now that I understand that it makes a video and not like just adds cool things to like a gift picture Mm-hmm. I understand a lot more. It's still a little bit a little bit complicated Yeah, all right. I'm ready to go. Y'all ready to go Let me hide All right, you do what you need to do Roger Here oh We go Daily Tech news show is powered by you to find out more head to Daily Tech news show comm slash support This is the Daily Tech news for Thursday April 6th 2017 I'm Tom merit Justin Robert young along the side for our Thursday ride Justin and man The news is like a thin window in an abandoned neighborhood today. Just keeps breaking. Oh my good Lord You might have thought that this Sunday in the citrus bowl It was the WrestleMania was the ultimate throw ride, but you have seen nothing compared to the Absolute rushing torrent of news for which we are about to lose upon your date Listen my friends if you listen to Justin Robert young and I discuss Planning the show on Justin's twitch stream We tore it all up since then you're barely gonna recognize this show Now we that way it was it was a good a nice little lineup, you know, we had a good little session But like now we got some we got some bonafide news. Hey, what do you say? We stop talking about it and start getting into it. We mean with a few tech things you should know Facebook's AI assistant M will now start popping into messenger chats to make suggestions Starting with Android and iOS users in the US before it goes worldwide Examples of what it can do includes sending an initiating payment request Calling a ride for you start to pull share in location. It's just gonna say hey Do you want to do this and then you can do it really easy? You know, it's an interesting idea. You got to wonder how many false positives before people disable it immediately Apple released its clips app for recording and editing video to be shared in several places including Vimeo Facebook YouTube mail and I message you tried it out. I Did and then I also note of those places Vimeo Facebook YouTube mail and I message There is no Twitter. I didn't realize that until afterward. I had to save it to my camera roll and post it My review the UI needs a little work little complex Little complex little complex. Yeah, but that that speech to text where it puts the text up on the screen for you It's cool. Yeah, it works really well Nvidia's new Titan XP graphics card announced Thursday Not only includes 12 gigabytes of DDR5 x memory and runs at 11.4 gigabits per second But for the first time we'll offer Mac OS beta drivers later this month and apparently they're gonna do that for the whole Pascal architecture based chips The Hackintosh Awakens Twitter unveiled its new lightweight mobile optimized version for a site called Twitter light targeted at markets in the Asia Pacific region Latin America and Africa that takes up less than one megabyte of Storage on a device. It's designed to use minimal data. Yes, just the website the mobile website mobile.twitter.com is now a web app a Lightweight web app kind of cool. All right Here are some more top stories euro gamer and digital foundry Reported those specs for Microsoft's upcoming Xbox console Currently referred to as Project Scorpio assume a D3. Well, we might get a new name for that features an eight core CPU at 2.3 gigahertz 40 compute unit GPU with 1172 megahertz and 12 gigabytes of GDDR5 ram. This is a fast Powerful machine. There's also a terabyte hard drive inside two and a half inch hard drive 4k UHD blu-ray drive and Euro gamer and digital foundry Not a verse to criticizing Microsoft probably to their faces said they were pretty impressed when they saw for its a motorsport Which granted one of the best-looking games. They've got running at a native 4k and 60 frames per second. I Mean Justin, I'm looking through this and the Euro gamer thing is worth to read if you're really into hardware They they dig deep into what's going on what Microsoft did when they built this custom AMD chipset up from the ground what they were trying to achieve But this is the opposite of the Nintendo switch They're going full throttle on the hardware and pushing out a Very sophisticated console with some like crazy heat management to make sure they can keep it in a compact box it sounds impressive and We assume that this is part of what they expect to have a big kind of summer rollout with all the conventions and everything coming up to Debut the idea that hey, there is a benefit to doing this iterative software. So iterative hardware rollout Sure, you might have to shell out a little bit more than you would otherwise the life cycle on these consoles is going to be much shorter However, this is the flexibility. We have we can now make these machines and put them out and For Microsoft they've been running second to play station sense the dawning of their new consoles And this seems to at least be something that is getting people's attention. Yeah I know a lot of people have been critical of this idea of consoles being iterative Although we are fine with other things like phones being iterative, but we use iPads iPhones Samsung sure we're used to consoles lasting longer and and so Microsoft and Sony with the PlayStation 4 Pro Bending over backwards to say the Xbox and or PlayStation you have now will continue to work for years ahead Don't worry one little bit all this is if you want to get 4k We're gonna do it But man when you read these Microsoft specs for project Scorpio first of all It's a big bold move by Microsoft to put themselves back in the game as they continue to tag along in second place behind the PlayStation and it's also a Way more powerful machine than a lot of people could afford to get as a PC So I'm curious if that $400 price tag that Euro gamer expects Will stick because then it becomes Almost a no-brainer if you're a serious gamer You also got to wonder well where that goes when it comes to a little bit more processor intensive kind of stuff as well as Stuff that is dependent on 4k graphics like virtual reality, you know, yeah No, this is this thing's gonna be great for VR. Yeah, this this would be a huge huge move in that direction I I also brought one last thing before we move off of this. I also think that this could potentially mark the point at which we started to differentiate desktop hardware and into not being desktop like the the desktop PC as an all-in-one can do everything device Maybe on its way out and and be replaced by these appliance versions where it's like hey This is a game console can do all kinds of things because it's got this power in it And maybe you'll get a dedicated video editing version of a box down the road And I I won't I don't think PCs will ever lose their ability to do multiple things But this is not oh, well, you know We'll use cheaper parts to make a cheaper product that can still play games really well because we fine-tuned it for that This is a powerful box. Yeah, but the key is the price, right because he is the price Yeah, you know right now even for a top-of-the-line PC You're going to be spending less than you would on several different boxes for several different things especially because Especially because you are going to have the ability to pick up something new without going out and picking up new hardware for it YouTube changed its partner program today So that partner creators will not begin making money on the platform until their channel has received 10,000 lifetime views in a few weeks creators who apply for their partner program that lets them make money will be reviewed after They hit the 10,000 view threshold creators who appear to community guy or start who adhere to a immunity guy community guidelines and Advertiser policies will then be able to have ads served against the channel and share in the revenue Now unmentioned in this is part of the reason why they're doing it which includes many big advertisers pulling out of YouTube as a platform because their ads were possibly if not actually sponsoring horrifying content including terrorism and Propaganda Tom is this enough I Don't know if this will be enough on its own But it's certainly the kind of big move that Advertisers and putting the pressure on Google and YouTube to do which is just make it hard it make it impossible for our ads to show up next to controversial content like that and This is a good move when I first saw it. I thought oh 10,000 subscribers Wow, that's pretty high not 10,000 subscribers 10,000 views So if you make a channel you start getting an audience You'll get to 10,000 views if if your channel is worth making money off of fairly quickly So so you'll be able to start making money if you have a decent channel Without too much delay, but there is a little bit of delay and Google will be able to have enough information now to say Alright, is this a valid site? Does this conform to our advertiser policies and they're not making any any Secret out of it in their announcement. They're like, yeah This is gonna help us crack down on exactly those kind of sites that advertisers don't want to be associated with Well, and also while the ISIS vids might have been the catalyst This has to be something that has been on the advertisers wish list for a long time because it also does just that little bit To eliminate totally low quality videos being a possible destination for paid-for ads Hmm. It's something that is randomly put up there That's maybe free booted for the millionth time or is just totally worthless if somebody's money Although because it's Google and YouTube a fraction of a cent is worth maybe is there is something that advertisers are not pleased with the question here or the cost rather is This does take a little bit away from the community It takes a little bit away from the idea that you can just make video and we will take care of the rest you have to demonstrate Commitment at the very least to create an account and get a certain threshold Who knows whether or not that will ultimately be a problem But it is YouTube cashing in a little bit on the community side to please the advertiser side Yeah, and you know, I did not says what is ten thousand views worth ten cents It might be a buck fifty it might even be a couple bucks But point point is still well taken you are not losing a lot of money by waiting for ten thousand views And YouTube isn't saving a lot of money by waiting for ten thousand views They're not going to run ads on you until you get those ten thousand views Twitter filed a lawsuit in the US district court in northern district of California Against the US Department of Homeland Security and its sub agency customs and border protection After customs demanded Twitter deliver information that would help it identify the user behind alt underscore US CIS US CIS does often stand for the United States Citizens and immigration services, which has been this alt version of which has been tweeting criticism of US immigration policy Now Twitter says the request is an unlawful use of the government's investigatory powers Twitter's lawsuit focuses on whether customs has the legal authority to make this request. They're not actually blocking it Particularly just because of the content they're saying I don't think you can ask for this based on the way you're asking it The custom and border protections initial order invoked a statute Which is mostly related to taxes on the importation of merchandise Twitter says that's that's not enough authority to unmask a user And then they bring in the usual chilling effect on speech if anybody can come and find out who you are with that level of of Probable cause they're they're basically saying you don't have probable cause at this point So this is obviously going to be a big headline Twitter versus the government, right? Especially complicated on a very superficial level because the president of the United States uses Twitter as his platform of choice to interact with millions of Americans and Those are broad as well however, I'm curious to know exactly how much of this is just you filled your form out wrong and You know whether or not this really is Twitter Trying to break new ground or stop from seeding new ground would probably be a more apt metaphor or If it's them just saying okay, you want to know what we have to put up with all Tech companies have to put up with a lot when it comes to homeland security and the NSA and everything But on this if you're not even going to bother To to give us enough to turn stuff over for you Then we're going to take you to court, you know, and we're going to make a public thing about it Yeah, I mean, I think it's it's fair to say external of any other considerations that if agency of the US government Files a request to you and you say well wait a minute tax taxes on importation of merchandise not what we do No, we're not going to comply with that Because we want to protect our users privacy unless there's a sufficient reason not to so I think Twitter has grand It has ground to stand on there whether this is you didn't file the right form Could be a consideration because if and this isn't what I see yet But if the reason was we think that saying alt USC is is Not a proper use and and is confusing and impersonating an agency people might think this is actually the USC is and it's not There's some validity to that And at which point that's why you need a judge to weigh in and talk about it But it does sound like they didn't like this account. They certainly weren't liking the criticism of it and they wanted to shut it down and Trying to get it shut down because they thought well, we can use this law. We think this will hold up in court. We'll see if it will Comcast announced its wireless phone service Thursday called Xfinity mobile all customers get unlimited talk and texting Then for data you can choose between $65 for unlimited or $12 a gigabyte the network uses Verizon along with Comcast Wi-Fi access points The voice calls start on one network. You won't be able to carry on when switched to another later on You also can't bring your own phone There is no zero rating of Comcast service But also no extra charge for tethering service will be available in 39 states in DC where people can get cable and internet service from Comcast as well This is totally a bundling play This is Comcast saying because because they're only operating in the regions where they have service We want to keep people subscribed to cable television So let's give them a good deal on wireless phone service. So they'll want to stay with us And and that's why this this is really expensive when you get up to a family of four Right, they don't have discounts yet for for multiple users But it's a pretty good price when you're talking about individual lines And it's pretty simple. You either pay 65 bucks for unlimited and yeah, I think there's a 20 gigabyte Max before you start to get throttled at certain times. That's the standard now across AT&T and Verizon and everybody And then it's $12 a gigabyte if you're like, I don't think I'll use that much But but at least I know what to expect if I go over Also, no zero rating is going to be a good thing for net neutrality fans who usually pick on Comcast for just such things They steered clear of that. They said no, we're not going to bother with that fight But we're also not going to charge you for tethering So, I mean, it's actually not a bad plan Really, I don't know what it absolutely isn't which kind of led me to the idea that you know with Comcast bundles They've always tried to go for three, right? And and it was always internet tv And then the other right and that's gone through home phone home security There's always the and Peggy if you look at this deal if they want to bundle home internet A a really competitive Interesting top of the line, you know, they're using the Verizon mvno So like this should be as reliable as Verizon along with the coverage of all the Comcast outlet access points That's also pretty useful The Peggy is cable tv They want people to stay on cable tv and now they got to invent a new Tier that is attractive So you're not just saying what so many people I do right now scratch my cable I certainly don't need a home phone Uh, just give me the give me the or sorry scratch my television. Just give me the cable internet. Yeah Uh, I'm curious how this this works out. I'll be curious if if Comcast ever Expands beyond their own regions because right now it's it's a regional player. It's not it's not a it's it's like us cellular at this point It's not a not a national player, but but it is an interesting and frankly well presented option It's not dead, you know, it's not the dead best necessarily Well, but they also they also have an opportunity Yeah, because I I don't know if they're going to venture this out and break it out and have it not be a bundle thing But it also kind of gives them a good opportunity because I'm sure they're going to get fairly well Reviewed on this that it's going to be an enjoyable experience But they don't have the burden on them that AT&T and Verizon do Uh as as wireless carriers that have to be like, you know, oh no, we're good everywhere Go all over the country and you will be able to have our service They're just like, hey, no, you know, you're gonna spend the majority of the time in your city And to be clear this will work everywhere It just won't be available like it won't be available to me because I don't live in a Comcast service area But if you get it, you'll still be able to travel to my area and use it because it's going to use the Verizon network So I mean the downsides are I can't bring my own phone. That's a deal killer for me personally It's not for most people But but switching is going to be hard for people who are like, wait, you mean I have to buy a new phone I can't just use the one I have and and they They really need to get to the point where a voice call can gracefully transition from the Wi-Fi network on the Comcast Stuff to the Verizon network once they and that should they said that should happen down the road Australia's competition and consumer commission the a triple c has filed a federal lawsuit against apple on behalf of 275 consumers who say apple declining to repair iPhones after customers got an error 53 The situation began last february when touch id sensors failed a security check after third party repairs Either repaired the screen or that sensor id button that home button a class action suit over the issue failed in the u.s But a triple c chairman rod sims says denying a consumer their consumer guarantee rights simply because they had chosen a third party repairer Not only impacts those consumers, but can dissuade other customers from making informed choices about their repair options Man i'm curious to see where this goes apple usually fights pretty hard about that they they certainly will maintain that by restricting third party Repairs they are indeed protecting and preserving the apple standard Of excellence for which they are known for so this seems to be Something that that's going to be a very very interesting fight for for apple. Yeah, and if apple's smart They'll just they'll just say you know what fine anybody's got an error 53 will cover it under warranty. Just just do it Just whatever just you know, enjoy throw another shrimp on the barbie Hey, folks if you want to get all the tech headlines each day in less than five minutes You got to subscribe to our companion show daily tech headlines.com All right, folks nike has a report today That is good news for bitcoin not talking about blockchain this time. We're actually talking about the cryptocurrency bitcoin Last year japan voted to end the eight percent consumption tax on bitcoin. So that ends this july That was treating bitcoin as a commodity a lot of governments do that where they say sure you can have a bitcoin But it's like owning a a a bar of you know iron. It's a commodity. It has value, but it's not money Japan's ended that they're like no no consumption tax on bitcoin We're going to call bitcoin money and in fact as of april 1st bitcoin is officially recognized in japan as a method of payment Now there were more than 4200 merchants accepting bitcoin at the end of 2016 nike pegs that at about 4500 right now so that's not a ton but Coin checks resupress Has been letting japanese people pay their electricity bill with bitcoin So there is a a more pervasive route there and nike reports that two big retailers Are partnering to accept bitcoin recruit lifestyle is going to partner with coin check And include in recruits point of sale app air reggie the ability to pay by bitcoin now that app is used at 260 000 locations and Key to our later discussion air reggie is compatible with alley pay, which is very popular with chinese tourists Customers use the tablets and their phones to pay from a bitcoin wallet So use your phone you come up to the tablet at the point of sale boom paid by bitcoin Now bic camera is also partnered with bitcoin exchange bit flyer And customers at two tokyo stores starting today, which is friday in japan, but starting today Can pay with bitcoin and get rewards points like they would if they pay with cash because it avoids the credit card processing fees if that trial goes good They hope to expand it to other bic camera stores in japan as well and and justin I think the point of all of this is japan wants tourists, especially chinese tourists who like to use bitcoin for various reasons to Spend their money when they come for the olympics Yeah, I guess that that is the big the the big the big carrot that is dangling in front of uh The decision makers here is they are about to face a gigantic influx of humanity and they certainly do not want to leave any money on the table Making bitcoin, which is very attractive to places that have Governments that tend to restrict You know things if not, you know money specifically is China's got two currencies as a currency for in-house. There's a currency for external use And and so bitcoin is very popular in china because it makes some things just simple Is this when we look back in five years decisions by a technologically forward thinking country like japan Going to be something that we look at as a domino falling for more global corporate acceptance of bitcoin There are a lot of things have to go right for that to play out in my opinion. Let's lay it out but Here are the what ifs if enough chinese users Are bringing bitcoins to japan with their alley pay apps in hand And enough of these retailers. I mean recruit lifestyle is pretty big 260 000 locations I think you're gonna need a few more Let's say a couple other retailers before 2020 jump on board And the olympics happens and suddenly everybody's like no you're paying with bitcoin How do I do that if that starts to become the talk of the olympics, right? Obviously the olympics would be the talk of the olympics But one of the one of the stories you hear buzzing out of there is Man, you know, there's a lot of people shopping with bitcoin and we see that headline of x million bitcoins used To buy things during the 2020 olympics real gold medal in tokyo Was made of bitcoin I think then you start to turn a lot more heads who say well, shoot that worked that drove sales once that drives sales That's when people start to pay attention because I mean again my my my question here is What is in it for the players that need to make this easier to use because if you were to ask me now I'm sure it would only take a little bit of googling for me to figure out how I could easily use bitcoin But aside from gimmicky stuff, like I think, you know, there's a couple bars in austin that have bitcoin Etms and and you know, I'm sure that there are some in the bay area The idea of using bitcoin for things like, you know, a cup of coffee, right? Not exactly seem Abundant. Can I use bitcoin at this noodle vending machine? Right? Yeah, that's that's what we're looking at and That's why I think this really does rest on the chinese tourists because Americans coming over they barely got chip and pin, right? There's not going to be a bitcoin app that they're going to be able to use with these terminals easily It's going to take work But since alipay is involved suddenly it's like man all all the chinese tourists have alipay Everybody's scrambling to figure out how to how to use alipay in tourism locations across the world So that they can rake in more of that cash As as chinese tourists go and spend their money overseas Uh, you know, and alipay is at the forefront of that. That's where it's like, oh, well I already have this so I can already pay in bitcoin and I'm already sort of familiar with bitcoin That that's what makes it work for me possibly The other thing that is interesting on the retailer side is this concept that like You know when when apple Uh launched apple pay. I remember there was a the consortium of Like cvs and and oh, right. Yeah, they tried to make their own thing But the idea being that we were at a breakpoint Of how we pay for things technology had made it Easier for us to You know change the way that we exchanged, you know money for goods And they very much were invested in a future where they could cut out credit card transaction fees Because they were that that became this de facto way to spend money People were carrying cash on them less and less They if if now we can break and now it's let let's deal with The the the tech companies so we don't have to deal with the credit card companies Apple pay samsung pay all run through credit card unions that they wanted to create their own version where it was like Only 19 000 simple steps that involved you scanning a qr code, right? what This is what the interesting thing about bitcoin is that this is another non-fee way to pay and retailers will Always look for a way to get that in there So i'm i'm curious to see if this is a success because i would love to see another option Yeah, the other thing is will it change japanese behavior We you know once the tourists leave at the end of the olympics Will there be more japanese who then picked up the habit, right because the the dominant Mode right now is ed or suika. I used the suika card when I was in japan Last and it was great because you could use it across transit But you could also use it at vending machines. You could use it at shops and it's just tap and pay It's just nfc And again, there's no transaction fee. You know, I mean there's a little bit of a fee to buy the card But so so can you can you pull those cards out of japanese shoppers hands and get them using bitcoin? It's another big question I guess that is that it is the other thing is that unless you are in a situation like like the chinese tourists are Where there is a barrier to getting easy money to spend while you are out and about You know the the the solutions to pay right now aren't really all that bad You know like yeah, because you know for for for customers for customers at least because they don't have to pay the credit card fee Well, there's gonna have to be easier ways to do it for everybody We'll keep an eye on it Thanks to everybody who participates in our subreddit keeps these stories coming You can submit stories and vote on them at daily tech news show dot reddit dot com A few emails before we leave first of all kurt marina aka the kung fu drafter longtime patreon supporter Is comment in the chat room right now writes as a longtime employee for a civil engineering firm with a heavy specialization in regional airports I find this topic very interesting while i think zunem arrow has some great goals I have to wonder if they have considered the acceptance of their intent That is to say will regional airports get on board this refers to yesterday's story of the company that Wants to use the small regional airports excess capacity To create a new network of planes using hybrid electric planes that don't need as much fuel Their contention is We can we can do this because it doesn't cost as much because we can use these electric planes. Well kung fu drafter points out an airport's fixed base operations derives a massive percentage of its revenue from fuel sales While there are other incidental revenue streams It's almost fair to say that the entire airport facility is a funnel to sell fuel to aircraft operators As far as I can imagine electric or hybrid aircraft will greatly cut into that revenue He also wondered if regional airports would have to upgrade parking upgrade security If they start to get more people coming in Whether they would even have to adjust to the shortened life of aircraft paving due to a sudden increase in operations per year It's one thing to say you've got the capacity. It's another thing to actually have to deal with that capacity So they had great insights kurt. Thank you so much Uh collin writes regarding twitter reportedly seeking the ability to let cable subscribers log in and watch their tv on twitter Who writes hey dts crew? I will produce I produced movies and television Uh, I produced movies for television rather and in my experience networks pay a whole lot of attention to twitter For better or worse overnight ratings and tweets seem to form the basis of their opinion of a premiere I wonder if this move is aimed at the networks rather than the users There are limits on what information can be collected about viewers from cable boxes And twitter might be able to offer a way around that and sell more comprehensive metrics So I it might be a way to monetize existing users even if they don't dramatically grow the user base just a thought Oh, that's a great thing though. That's a great thought twitter being able to share extra analytics With companies because they're allowing authentication through their servers Would be a big sell Well, and and it it bullies on the idea that we had right here on this podcast I think it was last week about things that twitter could do about you know They should be a place where you can watch the things that everybody is are talking about Uh, I still think that their better way to do it is to create their own Service that you can that that you can use and then you can still you can sell a walled garden information to everybody Uh, based on your twitter user history not as much information to sell though in that case. Why not do both? You could Yaru in malaysia was listening to our topic yesterday on super intelligence and dangers And has a science fiction recommendation yaru says it's an anime series called Psycho pass set in the future where japan is the only country in the world that is not in ruins And is ruled by a super powerful artificial intelligence that makes the decisions for all the inhabitants Everybody has a crime coefficient index or the likelihood of committing a crime Once your mental state changes that it gets high enough you'll be arrested and detained It had a bit of a minority report and ghost in the shell anime version feel to it It's a good example How like your guest said yesterday that fiction is one of humanity's superpowers and how it gets you thinking on these issues Once again, it's a series called psycho pass. You might want to check it out And finally travis rides while not directly related to technology Reuters published a letter from the editor-in-chief concerning news reports reporting integrity Uh, especially uh, interesting is the planned inclusion of the intermittent backstory to help understand and how and why stories came together This additional content would be quite powerful context for readers who choose to engage at this level Interestingly as tech companies work to combat fake news The role as an aggregator Vice reporter keeps them from these more elegant journalism solutions. That's interesting It's interesting to see Reuters, you know stepping forward to say hey Let's let's help you understand how it is we put together this story And that could become the kind of marker you look for and whether to to trust an outlet or not is Do they you know pull back the curtain a little and show you how they put it together? Plus it's just fascinating for anybody like myself who's interested in how journalism is done Yes, yes, it's an interesting idea Uh, if if I might kind of walk back the enthusiasm a touch Very often the best reported stuff Uh, you can you can read it just by reading it, you know the the more direct quotes the more Uh, you know, I'm always a fan of data dumps, you know, like when you Especially on the internet where there is infinite space. Give me every page of the report that you uncovered Give me every, uh, you know, give me full interviews in in addition to the quotes that you just used In the story like I'm always for more of the reporting Getting out there, but I don't know if a blow-by-blow of exactly how things came down the pike Is all that valuable considering that you're still gonna have to redact a bunch of stuff to protect Uh, uh, you know anonymous sources and in really big investigative stuff Yeah, they're saying from time to time. So it's yeah, it's not going to be appropriate for for every story out there But I do think that We as people who both went to journalism school look at stories and we see how it came together a lot of people can't see that Sure So this may be stuff where we look at it and go well, yeah, obviously you talked to that person because you quoted them Right, but some that might be more beneficial for some people. I'm always I'm always for more transparency Definitely, definitely. Well, thank you. Justin Robert young transparently speaking. What are you up to?

That's pretty good. I like that one Scorpio is going to sting the playstation. Whoa It's a little aggressive there Uh narrowing the ad tube mobile with wires attached Error 53 cu in court. Comcast wireless plan is pretty tethered of it's a pretty tethered affair a bit of a tongue twister Japan bitcoins the market japan legalized a bit more coin to bitcoin the terms It's a florax notes. It's a desert topping. Oh twitter. It's a florax notes. It's a desert topic I like don't I have to go with the It's not because I like sticks because it's it's a good You know, this is the thing like does anyone under the age of 25 Get that reference or even under the age of 30 get sticks as a reference. I don't know. It's a good question Kids these days know sticks they uh, somebody performed carry on my wayward son on the voice Yeah, people know that but it's the same in tv shows and stuff Come sail away So we'll see this is my question paradise. I don't know people know it because It was parodied or referenced by something else For example, I know a few people who only know songs or things because of the simpsons Because the simpsons made fun of it. I bet sticks is one of those bands people recognize their big hits But don't know who the band is yeah, I think I think yeah, I mean I can be Carry on my wayward son's been in so many movies, right? Right. Especially comedies. It's like it's it's a great comedic foil for like an over dramatic if you're playing Like a hanker man Sure. Yeah, exactly But carry on my wayward son is kansas. Yeah, I don't know that sticks has a song Lady Lady yeah, no, you're right. I've seen I've seen lady use the top stick songs See that's a thing it sticks even for our age groups like mr. Roboto mr. Roboto might be the biggest Oh, come sail away and mr. Roboto that's so come sail away I guarantee more people know it through the south park cartman singing reference mr. Roboto though. Mr People know mr. Roboto We'll see I'm curious. I really am. I wouldn't like because the culture moves at such a fast frenetic pace.  And so it's like who's r.e.m That's r.e.m. Also r.e.m You know, that's that's a kind of music that is oddly less relevant now than I think sticks is How it sticks relevant because sticks Six fits more in that Like and I'm going to say something that already is a data reference, but like like that guitar hero kind of Well, so that's the other thing. I wonder if people know songs because of guitar hero Yeah, this is a great guitar hero. Absolutely. And and also You remember r.e.m. That whole like, you know college rock movement in in the 90s was very much kind of a reaction against that corporate Yeah, the other corporate 70s and 80s We were an r.e.m Station and then I started to play less r.e.m as the program director and Several people hated us because of it Did uh, and what is what is the biggest r.e.m. Song? Uh, uh, stand not stand where you, um, it's the end of the world. It's the end of the world Isn't it that's not using my religion my religion or hobby number two I hated that song losing my religion. That was what I was in I did the I did that record release party Every coffee shop around a college camp has played that With some time during the day. It's just uh with roger yelling that is not you in the corner No, where's he doing the spotlight? Well, this is track lighting. There's a multitude of spotlights Uh, I think demo already got to a mr. Bitcoin is at the top. Yeah done Also, there's something about this being episode 2003 that just fits well with that title. I don't know why it looks good It looks like a uh, uh, a model number Yeah Pottle number 2003 2003 domo arigato mr. Bitcoin Finally, have you sat through that? I've I've actually sat through the whole thing and it's pretty embarrassing at some points of it What thing the the the uh, the whole sticks that kind of rock would it go rock opera? Oh, you mean the whole album?  It's cringey like parts of it's like, okay. I guess I mean, he's Just trying to be very he's trying to be very profound But it doesn't come off very profound. It just comes off as like sticky. Okay. This brings up an interesting thing for me Once I have discovered a band the next album that comes out always feels like it's less important Like oh, yeah, but that's after I discovered them So none of those none of those are really count That's it like I always devalue that and mr. Roboto is the first sticks album I bought After my sister introduced me to sticks losing my religion that album Was the first rem album that came out after I started really getting to know them on radio and college So I always discount them like oh, they can't be that popular That was after they had reached their peak like I feel like once I discovered them They must have reached their peak. Do you guys have that same? I think I think when you automatically Reach out and grab for their best of anytime you see a best of compilation I tend to think they've peaked out Like maybe when you said losing my religion was the number two I was like, oh, I guess it is but I always devaluate because I'm like, yeah But that's off that album after I'd already you know gotten to know them it's uh like I it's it's weird because um Like all that I'm trying to think of all the band all the albums I bought They're all kind of in the middle when they were on Heavy rotation and that's why you know because that's why you buy it But is that in the middle of a heavy rotation? Does that mean it's like at the the middle or at the tail end?  Is it just overplayed or is it just or is it just self-loathing? It's Maybe you know, there's a part of you when you're in college you tend to be very cynical about like this is too likeable.  It's like this song. Oh this song is um, what was that? Like like how they like like if an indie or alternative bands like oh, that's just a corporate song Like that's something they would put in an album Well, but I think part of what feeds into that is there is that thing where a band like boston That hadn't had an album in a while that makes a comeback album After you know, you're like, oh, yeah, my older sister listened to them And third stage is now out and it it really isn't as good as their other stuff Well, it's um, what's it more than the feeling more than the feeling I always get more of the feeling and uh What's the one from uh, is it asia? So, yeah He didn't a moment. Yeah. He didn't know I always get those two bands and songs. Is that like I transpose them? Wow The more than the feeling is my sister's era of music and then he to the moment was when I was buying 45s But how much time was really between those two Four years Yeah, like is that it felt like forever, you know, it's the difference between me being eight and 12 Yes, I guess that's like an epoch In musical terms. I don't know just it is is this all just old man talk Hey, no, I I don't know. I like music I like beat cross beat. Well, no, I mean no Because I I can't say anything because I could have these same conversations with people of my age about different bands that people don't give a Shit, well, that's what I was wondering is is there a point where a band that you like you're like you're just like Oh, yeah, no, it doesn't feel like those albums are as good I I say that about a lot of 90s bands try to go back. So why did I buy this? Like Uh, like final Death rattle of rock era and like, you know, the before all the autotune robots took over all radio Um, and and we were only allowed you to Like that that I remember being really good that I listened back to and I'm like, yeah Jesus Like that whole stage where every rock band had to have a dj I remember I was into that at the time not so much Well, what I'm I'm curious is like like a lot of late night mid to late 90s bands I don't know if they have the same if they have the same maybe it's just generational But I don't think they have the same mind share that The the generation that came right before them did like, um Like they threw you like you had a bunch of bands like county crows you had Well, you had a band that came out of late 90s. Yeah late 90s. Okay You know, I'll start you're an all-star.  Oh, yeah I remember lit. Yeah, there was just um, uh, what's that? All-american rejects like a lot of it just kind of felt it like, you know You know, they think they they were in that transitory period where it was like cool when you they were on the radio But then people moved quickly on to something else It was it. Um, was that canadian one? Uh fat lip Is that it? No, no, that was it. That was some some 40 some 41 some 31 Some 41. Yeah, that's uh, yeah the um There's just like a lot of bands like that or right around that time Well, I've been rapping, you know rap was big, but the idea was there were still like really hot rock acts There was still a rock radio I remember the first time one of them one of the big moments that I understood that race was certainly a construct that affected My life was when the rock radio station played the beastie boys It's like wait a minute if it's not If it's not sabotage and you just play an intergalactic one of these things not like the other Yep. No, I remember arguing whether we should play Fight for your right on the rock station that I worked for Because they're like, but wait, I think it's I think it's rap And then someone's like no, but it has a lead zeppelin sample in it. So it's okay. Yeah I remembered like cross genre things or like people were totally like, what do we do? This sounds kind of like, I mean you had that issue in the early 80s, right or late 70s early 80s with Kind of poppy country music like well, do do we put juice dude in country or sit more pop? you know, so it's So it's always a bit of a kerfuffle, which is why things like I think Spotify and Pandora Um are so popular. Maybe not super popular but popular To pick what you want. I like what I like Isn't that what people say like what kind of music like? I don't know, but I like what I like Like if I hear it, I like it. That's how I know Because at some point I think the There was a a ridiculous level of subdivision for for music genres Okey-doke I am published you are published as a rather weighty old man conversation Thanks everybody for watching Go enjoy whatever music makes you happy indeed


So hold on we can't win foreign wars and we can't run a DMV, but we can control every bird in the sky We can I mean and I appreciate you allowing me to share this information on here A lot of the media won't let me talk about is this a stick.  Why would it be a stick? Because yeah, I mean you you report everywhere you report on UFOs in this show. Yes Well, I don't report on UFOs or I mean I respect what you guys talk about on here You're letting bird robots on the show. You're letting UFOs in the show Do you think I could see the government using some birds maybe as drones to disguise them But you're saying all birds the pigeons here in New York City every every bird You just watched Fox News host Pete Hegseth push back against conspiracy theorist Peter McKendoo who founded the birds aren't real Conspiracy movement now in case this wasn't already painfully obvious This is not actually a real movement Peter McKendoo is a satirist who's playing a character However, Pete Hegseth seemingly took it serious now you might assume that he's playing along and that's entirely possible to be fair But then again Pete Hegseth is one of the dumbest hosts on the entire network So it's entirely possible that he's also duped here But regardless it is incredibly ironic for Fox News of all places to cover this Considering that they are the ones being made fun of here in a 2021 interview with leaders of this movement They explained why they founded it quote what birds aren't real truly is they say is a parody social movement with a purpose in a Post-truth world dominated by online conspiracy theories young people have co-asked around the effort to thumb their nose at Fight and poke fun at misinformation It's Gen Z is attempt to upend the rabbit hole with absurdism It's a way to combat troubles in the world that you don't really have other ways of combating So Claire Cronus 22 a birds aren't real organizer in Pittsburgh My favorite way to describe the organization is fighting lunacy with lunacy and that right there is the point of this movement Some of the organizers sadly have lost family members to conspiracy colts So I mean this is kind of their way of coping and their way of responding to that and the reason why I said that it was interesting for Fox News of all places to cover this in particular is because there Maybe the biggest Spreaders of conspiracy theories, right? Certainly the ones with the most legitimacy and furthest reach I mean this network is literally being sued for defamation by someone who received harassment After Tucker Carlson accused him of being a secret government agent and not to mention this network has also promoted Anti-vaccine misinformation their hosts have called climate change a hoax multiple times for over a decade Tucker Carlson has promoted the white supremacist great replacement conspiracy theory They've promoted the big lie accused doctors of mutilating the genitals of trans trans children. I mean It just goes on right they they've said so many lies that they have brainwashed an entire generation I mean this network is in part why birds aren't real exists in the first place and Pete hexeth in particular is one Of the most conspiratorial people at the network, which is why it's ironic that he'd conduct the interview And not necessarily absurd to think that he's not in on the joke for example This is someone who has quite literally openly questioned germ theory on air. I don't think I've washed my hands for 10 years Really, I don't I don't really wash my hands I inoculate myself Germs are not a real thing. I can't see them therefore. They're not so you're becoming immune to all of the all the Yeah, and again, it's plausible that he's being half serious there But first of all, he looks like someone to me who doesn't wash his hands ever So I believe him when he says that and second of all the way that he said it Sounded like Tee he just kidding after he saw the reaction when everyone laughed and once he saw that they laughed He's like, oh Tee he I'm just joking But I mean the most egregious conspiracy theories from Pete hexeth that he's promoted come in the form of election denialism which is Troubling considering it puts our democracy in danger and if we want to be really generous He's flirted with election denialism, but nonetheless it's still harmful So let's watch and took on one of the hosts on the lie that is fueling the spade of these so-called election integrity bills Do you remember a second ago when I talked about the big lie? This is exactly what I'm talking about the reason that so many folks You just you just got a national television James every night We're not talking about that I do just you just what a national television said you don't want voter ID Revealing exactly what Democrats and it's so condescending to say that people can't get identification Did you have you found someone in your district that can't get identification? You have made a lot of money personally and you've enriched a lot of corporations with advertising by getting on here and spewing lies and Conspiracy theories to folks who trust about my and what I'm asking you to do is see tell your voters right now that Donald Trump The lie that is Resolved the lie that is did the Democrats are now a voter ID It's not here, but at least I at least you resolve the idea that Real quick can you answer the question did Donald Trump? I think I'm answering questions. I'm not Is So does he not want to say that Trump lost the election because he knows he'll be roasted by Maga chuds or does he actually think that Trump did win but doesn't want to vocalize that because he'll be labeled as a conspiracy theorist I mean You'll never know when it comes to Pete Hegseth because he is one slimy disingenuous bastard So it is incredibly ironic that Fox News of all places is talking about birds aren't real when they are the ones Being satirized by this movement But the reason why they brought on Peter McKendoo is to promote a new Fox Nation film about this movement And the subtitle itself kind of gives away the game and refers to it as the joke that became a movement But the wording of the subtitle kind of leads me to believe that Pete was genuinely duped Because maybe he thought that it started out as a joke But then became a real movement and Peter McKendoo was one of the individuals who Actually started to really believe this I don't know but the response from Fox News's audience is even more interesting because some of them actually did take this serious And that's because Peter McKendoo is a genius. He's really good at selling this But before we look at the reactions from Fox News's audience, which is incredible by the way Here's the first part of that interview Birds are fake the conspiracies out now on Fox Nation and Peter at McAdoo is the public information officer of Birds aren't real So Peter you're telling me you believe that there are no living birds. I believe it. I know it Actually, you know it. I know it as proof. Yes, all birds every bird in the US I know chickens There's a chicken a bird a chicken's a bird chickens a bird. So I just fed my chickens Back home. They didn't seem to be robots. Yeah, that's kind of how biotechnology works the government's making bio hybrids where there are birds and robots That the government's combining Annie Jacobson's done some great work on so you're saying they have human characteristics the eyes the way Not human characteristics have bird characteristics. What the government did is from 1959 through 2001 They systematically replaced every bird in the sky with a government surveillance drone Replica that looks identical to a real bird spies on us every day So when you walk outside, I mean, it's probably you know a hundred cameras in here is more cameras outside than the wrong So hold on we now right after that is where Pete Hegseth begins to push back But what I found even more interesting than Pete Hegseth response is the response from the Fox news audience Because when you look at the comments section overall the actual Fox news viewers if you can kind of suss out Who actually is a true believer? They responded in one of two ways they either tried to debunk the conspiracy theory because they believed that Peter McKinney was being serious or They kind of thought that it sounded a little bit compelling themselves Most of them did not realize it was a joke though by my estimation So the highest upvoted comment reads I'm amazed how the government planted a nest of bird eggs in my door wreath And then somehow they hatched into baby robot cameras I'll be darned if that mama bird was in program to sit and record I mean watch me looking at her babies growing programming I mean growing process over the weeks now others responded to that by laughing or calling him whacked But this was my favorite reply smartest conservative because I mean that's exactly it now this person says it might be a little more believable if he Didn't say every bird no way this guy doesn't even believe his own theory You can see that in his body language So we've a body language expert here weighing in a bunch of flat earthers now have a new conspiracy theory to obsess about I mean as a Fox news viewers aren't as conspiratorial as flat earthers themselves But I mean they have no self-awareness this person says this is what the universities are teaching our kids today What a wonderful future this world has this is so sad that he actually believes all birds are fake He needs psychological help a sad, but here's where we get to the potential recruits I never heard this theory before but glad the news is finally open to show more of the truth It's scary how there are still so many people out there that think a theory like this is crazy Considering all and everything that's simply just this I hope they actually start believing this It's just funny at this point this person says I believe some birds could be faked as fine people But this guy's a birdbrain there's truth to everything now some commenters knew that he was trolling and pointed out the irony This person says this of all things is where Fox wants to drop a line and this person adds The lack of self-awareness of the typical viewers is actually funny and that right there is such a good point Why can't these Fox news viewers apply just a little bit of logic to other conspiracy theories? Why not question other things that Fox hosts tell you why believe every single thing that they say and not question it? But you see that's kind of the genius of this conspiracy movement, right? Because if it forces normal conspiracy theorists to apply just a little bit of logic to this because it's so absurd Maybe this will kind of train them to think more critically about other outlandish things that they hear now I think that's kind of wishful thinking so it's probably not gonna happen But one can hope right hopefully that's the outcome of this conspiracy movement But I mean you've really got to give a lot of credit to Peter McKendoo here because this wouldn't work if he Wasn't able to sell it so well and Sam Cedar interviewed him on majority report a while back in character And it was absolutely hilarious I'm gonna link to that down below and he's managed to get on local news outlets multiple times And here's one of the first interviews that he did that went viral and this is kind of where he got on my radar Good morning. Thank you so much for having me. So are there people that find your account and Think that it's real You know, I think there's a lot of people that find our social media accounts and see a different side of Gen Z in America You know Gen Z is full of some amazing Men women and children that are aiming to change and I think that that is you know, just what our movements all about But it's more than just Gen Z is falling for conspiracy theories. Why? But Well, we hope you're okay why don't we give you some time to collect yourself if you need help let us know in the control room there and We'll get back to you if we can't that right there is comedic genius So in a way this movement has come full circle, right? This movement was created to make fun of Fox News viewer types And now they're being covered by Fox News ironically and some of the viewers think that he's the crazy one Or they find his conspiracy maybe a little bit compelling just a tiny bit either way. I'm a fan And if you want to learn more, I will link you to their website down below But credit to Peter McKinney because he is absolutely a legend and what he's doing here is I think a public service in shedding light on just how These types of folks think right because it's not just that he's pushing this absurd Theory the way that he sells it. He uses the same types of arguments that other conspiracy theorists use Q and honors flat earthers, right and based on what he says, it's very difficult to debunk So you just kind of have to dismiss it as crazy and this is the same thing with other conspiracy theories, right? These folks are convinced that they have this unique truth that nobody else is privy to and so if he can kind of Hold a mirror to all of those folks then maybe he could do some good. Maybe Like everywhere there's good you see them all the time. I mean it's constant My children are about mama go go go. I turn on TV. There's clothes in the background every TV show


if we had achieved the greatest degree of privacy one can manage in an open compound containing thousands of weak weary dispirited prisoners and a goodly number of sharp-eyed Japanese guards I mentioned the thing closest to my heart Steve huh have we a chance of escaping escaping oh maybe Mac I don't know that you can't be done I suppose what's the matter with you man huh oh nothing I don't want to hear you watch this against the world American stand at the wall according to the laws of this camp this sentence is carried out two of your squad of 10 have escaped the other eight must die do you wish to be run for that or do you have the courage to face the firing squad you got no right to do this to us fire I won't I can't you those stupid did not escape you were too sick to try it quiet EG stop it stop it stop it wait a minute wait a minute there you end up in action of the imperial Japanese army who we found them the two men you said escaped they were so weak they fell into the between ditch where are they bring them here at once I can't they're dead lieutenant colonel melding I shall never forget a little vignette that met my eyes every day at kebuna to one and again at another camp to which McCoy and I were later transferred to one at deval picture a man walking around a compound enclosed in barbed wire he massages his fingers constantly as he walks and stops now and then to massage his toes a Jap guard follows him with his eyes smile on his face the man is suffering from very very and maybe sturdy as well the pain in his joints and extremities is excruciating medicine is what he needs but a balanced diet would help enormously fresh fruits and green stuffs would do the trick and out there in front of his eyes green stuffs and berries growing abundance but the barbed wire stands between the Jap guard stands and fondles his tommy gun a smile set thinly on his face the Jap guards don't need those berries and green stuffs but the prisoner can't have them you look at the poor devil's eyes as he passes you you notice again the smile of the Jap guard and you reflect that certain parts of the orient have developed rare refinements of cruel commander McCoy not long after my arrival at kebuna to one I walked one evening in the compound with melding poor wretches squatted everywhere within my sight their star body is slumped over suddenly I saw a familiar face say Steve isn't that gun over there the chap sitting with that small group by the fence right yes that's good well how long has he been here he got here a few days before you did he did but why didn't you tell me he was here you know we're friends yes I know but you were so weak yourself when you arrived I I thought you ought to rest up a bit before meeting him wonder Steve melnik didn't want me to see gun till I fell up to it I looked down at this friend of mine this man I'd known for years I felt ill it was as though someone had thrown acid in his face searing it discoloring it taking all the life out of it the same was true of the other man with him I looked at gun fascinated I could only stammer you you look awful well enough I was out of a ton I made the death march I was afraid to ask him about it I sat down Steve sat down I tried to collect my thoughts and stared straight ahead towards one of the barracks good God well or you'll you'll get used to that I had already become aware of the awful stench about the camp but for the first time I noticed that outside of each barracks there was a neat row of bodies somehow I knew the bodies had been there for some time clouds of flies arose from them when groups of prisoners walked nearby yeah mac you'll get used to that but but why don't they bury them they you're gonna jabs well then why don't you bury them gosh mac you must have had a soft time of it till now you don't know the jabs they should bury them they should let us bury them before the ciders see it and desecrate our souls I tell you you don't know the jabs mac why before we came here we we spent some time in another hellhole Campbell Donald at least 2200 men died there in two months that I know of the jabs wouldn't bury them the Americans and Filipinos are so weak there weren't enough healthy men to take the graves as a result the camp became so litter with bodies that you could hardly tell the living from the dead with all of that all the running water around the camp became polluted it's made more sick more than good god oh yeah yeah you can gasp there are thousands of American witnesses to tell the truth what I'm telling you once once we decided to stand in our rights as prisoners of war we insisted on seeing the camp commander complaining to him I can hear them all both inch now sticking on his major little chest shouting I tell you this to your face swine I do not like Americans and I do not care how many die now how they die you don't know the jabs you don't know the the dirty state but I know the mac these fellas here will be another we made the death march from the 10 and then gun told us about the death march a blade man jabs took 10,000 Americans and 45,000 Filipinos prisoners they marched to send for an end of the panga distance of 120 miles 120 miles we were marched to different groups we were without water for days at a time and without food for most of the time personally didn't have a bite for days I don't know how many days I lost count my nose was over a week and then he gave me a mess kid of rice oh we often pass running streams the Japs seldom allowed us to drink a few prisoners tried it mostly Filipinos they were shot down cold blood oh yeah the Japs didn't mind when we drank from bloody caribou while I was though no no they like to see us do that that's where we got all the disentery I suppose at the end of every day mac the Japs dispatched those of us who looked too weak to make the march the following day but they committed murder with a new twist they made the condemned dig their own graves and brother no matter how sick or wounded or near to dying you are with a jab with a sharp band it tells you to dig your own grave dig how you dig jab shut up shut up shut up fight dad stand it it was one of the kids who had made the death march with gun gun passed out casually but without smiling gun will never smile again Johnny he doesn't like to think about it gentlemen but I can assure you on eyewitness testimony a jab with a helpless man in one hand and abandons me or there is a supreme modest as if you didn't know I'll kill I'll kill every last one of them the dirty wife never quiet Johnny quiet boy do you want him to hear you oh no try to forget it son try to forget it I can't forget it commander I can't boy and get it out of your system talk about it and that's what he chose to do happened a lot of times the first time it happened I didn't know what was up the prisoner had keeled over he'd been stumbling for hours the Japs dragged them out of the line to a ditch by the side of the road and they took me out of line they took me to where the poor guy was lying in the ditch one of the Japs handed me a shovel another jabbed a bayonet in me and shouted an order in Japanese I didn't know what they wanted better Jack grabbed the shovel out of my hand and showed me he threw a few shovels full of earth from the unconscious soldier that he had to be the shovel dear god it doesn't help to tell myself he was more dead than alive the worst time was once when a poor guy with six inches of dirt over him suddenly regained consciousness and tried to sit up he clawed away at the dirt trying to save himself and the Japs bayonet some stories which it is better not to finish you're right mag there are stories but it's better not to finish at least not through a medium which is welcomed into the homes of a people raised in the principles of christian charity but don't think america that such stories as you've just heard of the outstanding examples of japanese atrociousness as a matter of fact they are the least shocking of the hundreds we have caused to be printed or could tell and the 513 men who are rescued from kabanata one the other night by the rangers will undoubtedly have fresh horrors to add to the list unless the Japs have changed but if your imagination fails you think of the doings of the nazis and the ghettos of poland cast your minds back to the unholy times when tyrants impaled the heads of those who displeased them and on the gatepost of the castles dwell upon the gentler arts and forms once practiced in the inquisition torture chambers imagine the starvation of Athens the filth and hopelessness of devils island add all these up you'll have a good picture of the japanese treatment of american military prisoners in the philippines we were there we know tonight inspired by the rescue last week by american rangers of the last 513 prisoners of war in the notorious kabanata one prison camp words at war

Yes, it's day one. It's in a city golf and we're starting in the city of Glasgow. Right, so I should mention the first tank you needs to go to the organiser of this trip because what they did was they put me in or let me loose rather in Glasgow city centre on a bank holiday Monday. I took advantage of course of Glaswegian hospitality. Perhaps stayed out a little bit too late and that is what inner city golf is all about. We were in the city last night and we're out at a golf course. In these leafy parts of Pollock Country Park I believe, I'm at Pollock Golf Club. We'll get set up and there's two things I've got to check and make sure we've got and that's suntankrine and sunglasses. White first tee shot out the way, used driver, it it best I could and blocked out by trees so maybe not driver off the first but you're seeing in the backdrop the clubhouse. Honestly blew me away when I arrived, parked down low walk up and that clubhouse looks pretty special. I've not had a great deal look inside, I'll do that post round but the good news is behind a camera woman we've got a birdie putt on the first. Can't be bad, sun's shining, loving this. Shall we keep it? Shall we see if we birdie the first? Camera's still rolling. When he just held on the back the greens look so lush as does all the course. Or not all the course, I've seen the first and the 18. Stop exaggerating but you can tell. I'm looking forward to this one. I've got a feeling first put of the day these might be a bit sharp. It's got a chance you know, it's got a chance. Go on Paul. Oh my word. What a start of the day that would have been. It just died a little bit of death but as you can see I took a load off that in terms of I hardly hit it. Really true role and like I said they look plenty quick enough. Just minutes from Glasgow city centre and set in a mature woodland, Pollock Golf Club founded in 1892 was designed by the great Dr Alastair Mackenzie.  Well if you wanted a first impressions three holes in I would say absolutely stunning. The condition of the first three holes immaculate but the setting is seriously, I can't believe the city centre is just a matter of a few miles away. It probably didn't make as much as I should have done on the par 300 T, the six. It's a lovely little golf ball. One of the noticeable pieces round here is the way the green complex is designed. That again was sort of fairly narrow and thin almost like sort of kidney shaped again and loads of movement in it. And when you get down here it looked a fairly generous green from the tee box but when I got down there at the green I was quite pleased that I did because it was a small target. But once again the theme is a machinally kept I spoke to the caddymaster before I went out and he said that the course is a little bit behind at the moment due to the temperatures that we've had literally right across the UK. So well it's plenty good enough for me I tell you it's really good so with a bit of warm weather I can imagine them greens can be like lightning. Go on. I've had a pop in two on this par five and I think that should be a good nick. I'm not big enough to get there but that's two decent punts there on seven. A really nice backdrop to play this from but again I've just mentioned two big punts and I thought I was sat in the fringe there when I'm not. I'm sat in a very well placed there well strategically well placed bunker. One to the right, one to catch your left short as well so a par five which has got to ask you to have a little bit of a pop at it but then makes things difficult. Horrible little shot this for average golfers. Yeah. Go. Not the best. That real tough one is sort of 30 yards which well just not good enough to play in the design of the course got me out got the better of me. My ninth hole is stroke index one. I hit an okay drive, leaked it out a little bit right and didn't quite make that first bunker even but what I've noticed so far about the design of the golf course is the way in which it sort of weaves its way through that tree line and ask you in terms of strategy to make sure you're on the right side of the fairways and not do what I've done probably two or three times actually be on the wrong side of it. And what you'll be asked the question is sort of the tree line will interfere with your line to the green. I really like that. So again, stroke index one for a reason it's got plenty of length in it but also it's asking you to be a lot further left off the tee than I have. And anyway really ain't going to travel in terms of height wise over the top of there. So it's kind of you've then got to see whether or not. And I like to try it is to try and move that little ball a little bit in in the air and I like to try it and often fail but I'll still be trying. So we'll aim for the gap and see if we can chase one down there with a bit of a with a bit of left to right on it. Come on and you can do it. Well I couldn't do it and I visit straight get over. Oh my word is it nothing. Well it's gone through the back of the green which was I can't believe it's seven iron I thought I was way out in terms of distance. Bit of down breeze and I've gone right through the middle of the trees. Nothing like what I said I was going to do. Well it's only the second part through we've played which is the 12th and I think the first one was a six. One more to come but one noticeable feature again was sort of how small the greens are. Fairly tight bunker left bunker right. I had a fairly short iron in me and pitched it just a little bit short and well left myself with what is a pretty well no shot I suppose is what you'd call it. We've got a pot one up over the bunker but again nice little design through the course. I love the way this course is laid to be fair. We need a bit of Spanish hands here. See if I've got any. Oh hello. Sit down. Sit down ball. Do you know what that's still run 10 10 12 feet on for bogey but about as best as you could do. But like I said an interesting feature on both the par 3's got one more to come. We'll see what that one looks like. Right so with just two left to play I can't say what a great day we've had. I mean obviously I've not played in this kind of weather for well since last year. It's been absolutely superb but a golf course itself again nice and easy in terms of walking. That's the interesting bit. There's no great changes in elevation so very easy walking course. And the other thing is the generosity of the fairies. I said earlier, yet if you want to score well you're going to have to make sure you're on the right side of them strategically. But in terms of kind of giving up a bit and making this playable I think it's nice. It's kind to all levels and that's important as well. It is a really really nice parkland course to play. That's the way I describe it. Impressed. Make sure you come into the clubhouse afterwards and eat. They're called loaded fries. Cays and chicken on them. And have a salad to be healthy you know. Oh that's it. Pollock Golf Club is done and I really enjoyed that. I don't know which I enjoyed most the kind of golf or those cheesy fries at the end because they were amazing as well. Don't, whatever you do if you're going to come make sure you order them post round. But that's it. Back into the city centre into the village hotel and it's up early tomorrow morning for the second part of our inner city golf in Glasgow. It's Hag's Castle. Sounds like someone from Harry Potter.


tions, and we now move into private session. Our next meeting will be on 2 October, when we will continue with our post-legislative scrutiny of the Police and Fire Reform Scotland Act 2012, and we will also hear evidence as part of our pre-budget scrutiny. We move into private session.


Alola everyone and welcome to the channel, my name is PhillyB2 and welcome back to another Z-Move Showcase video, a kind of a series where we look at a bunch of different Z-moves in Pokemon Sun and Moon and see if they're good in competitive battle, if they make absolutely no sense for the reason they're made in the game, I don't know, or if they're just really fun to use and give like these really random cool effects, you know, we just take a look at all these cool stuff. Anyway, the video that we're going to be doing today is about Z-Sleep Talk and it is brought to you by our buddy, the Pokemon Nerd 12 who says use rest and then use Z-Sleep Talk. Luckily for this video, we're going to be using the Pokemon Komala as our test subject and it doesn't have to rest in order to use Z-Sleep Talk because it is forever sleeping so Z-Sleep Talk is an automatic thing with Komala, of course you're going to need the normalian Z-Crusel to work with Sleep Talk because Sleep Talk is a normal move but let's go ahead and see together what exactly happens and the fun that we can have out of it when we use it. So here we go, we're in the game and just to give you guys some insight into what our Komala is rocking, we do have Sleep Talk which is going to work with the normalian Z, it knows Shadow Claw, it knows Wood Hammer and it knows Acrobatics as other different moves. So that's something just to keep in mind, there we are on the snowy mountain so let's get in the grass and let's go find some Pokemounds and see exactly what our Sleep Talk will do with the Z-Crusel with them. A chew, wow, it sneezes when it's all Vulpix, so there we go, we got a Vulpix showing up, we got a Komala and since we're in Komatose we are drowsing which means we automatically have access to the Sleep Talk. So we have our Sleep Talk there and we're just going to hit our Z-Power and then we're going to hit Sleep, Z-Sleep Talk. So here we go, we do a little cool Z move, do it, oh yeah, here we go, Komala is powering up so notice it says it boosts it, it's critical hit ratio so it's critical hit goes up, so it's going to be using Acrobatics and look how cool it is dude, Acrobatics has switched into Super Sonic Skystrike, dude the sleeping Komala is now flying down full force, oh this is ridiculous, RIP Vulpix, and it landed a crit, dude that is awesome, that is awesome, we got a crit, oh my gosh, so we got a crit boost on top of that and then we landed a crit hit after the Z move so that that was a lot of damage so that's pretty interesting. So we'll go again and hopefully we'll get something else besides the Skysteel Strike and we got an Absol showing up here, so now Komala, let's let's let's hope we get something else here, so we're going into our deep sleep and we're gonna fight again and we're gonna hit our Z power and go right into Z Sleep Talk, there we go, I'm gonna do our little thing, we're gonna go power up and getting that crit, actually getting critical hit ratio boosted up is really, could be really useful so now it's gonna be picking the hammer move, the grass move obviously and it's gonna be switching into bloom doom, there we go, gets hit with an amazing, oh my gosh that is so cool, did it land a crit? No it did not land a crit, but that was really awesome to see the fact that we boosted up our critical hit ratio and then land the move, alright guys so we're gonna take a look at exactly what Sleep Talk says from the Cerebi website, so it says while it is asleep the user randomly uses one of the moves it knows, so while we are in Sleep Talk, in the case of Z Sleep Talk, we were able to select one of the three moves, we had a wood hammer which was a grass type, we had acrobatics which was a flying type and we had a shadow claw which was a ghost type, now usually if you just use Sleep Talk on its own it's gonna perform those moves normally, but since we did have a Z crystal with it and we use Z Sleep Talk, all those moves actually turned into the actual Z moves and generally like the specific ghost one, we had the bloom doom for the grass one and we had the flying one where Kamala was just coming out the sky, so it was really cool that they turned into actual Z moves, you know, on top of getting the crit hit ratio increased by one stage, that was really cool because we were able to see the crit hit on to wall picks earlier with Kamala, so that was really nice, but anyway in terms of having Sleep Talk on a Pokemon, I highly suggest Kamala is the best option because most of these other mods are not in a permanent sleep like Kamala, you're gonna have to use rest and then go into Sleep Talk, but with Kamala luckily you can just right away go into Sleep Talk which is really cool, now we're gonna get into talking about Sleep Talk and the benefits of it when it comes to crit hit, I think crit hit ratio is actually really important when it comes to Pokemon and of course this list goes really long, a lot of Pokemon can learn Sleep Talk, anyway so let's go into critical hit ratio and talk about it, because Sleep Talk boosted up by one and as you can see here the chances of critical hit are done in stages, now there's five stages in this chart as you can see, all moves are on stage one apart from a handful on stage two, however with various items abilities and a combination thereof you can reach stage five and have a 50-50 chance of hitting with a critical hit, so this is interesting, so when we did use Sleep Talk with the Z crystal we did get a boost by one stage, now we also had the move Shadow Claw on Kamala, so if we use Shadow Claw, Shadow Claw also is a move that increases your critical hit, so the higher we get our critical hit stages, the more chances we have of landing that amazing critical hit which does enough damage to sometimes KO Iman that you know has a little bulky health pool as well, and the interesting thing is critical hits when you land them do 50% more damage from the standard damage, so that's a little interesting thing to note as well, now when it comes to increasing critical hit ratio you have a bunch of attacks that actually do that, now a 10,000 bolt Thunderbolt happens on a special Pikachu which is not out yet but that's also something interesting to note and we have a lot of moves over here that do increase your critical hit ratio and Shadow Claw like we have in Kamala was definitely one of them that we threw on there, so you can maybe try to build a mon that has moves that build up crits so you can land them, that's up to you in terms of strategy and how you want to build it, which is pretty interesting because in competitive when you land a crit move that is a critical hit is a big deal man and that's able to use the KO Pokemon and everyone gets excited about that, we also have some items that also are able to increase the critical hit ratio, we have focus energy that does the same and we have some two items active for Farfetched and Chancey which is interesting that increases the critical hit ratio and some other moves that do it as well but that is really interesting and Kamala is a very cool Pokemon in general for the fact that it always is a sleep and that Z sleep talk is phenomenal it's really cool and I hope you guys are actually able to try it out go ahead let me know down the comments below was successful you're gonna have fun trolling your friends with it also guys make sure make sure to comment down below what Z move you want to see in the next video that's really important if you want to see your comment on the screen and it's really fun to do these Z moves and of course again don't forget in order to use sleep talk you usually have to have the Pokemon go into sleep by resting ahead of time so if you want to get quickly into Z sleep talk Kamala is the man normally in crystal no problem should be lots of fun guys if you join the video please please smash a like button subscribe if you knew the channel and I'll be seeing you guys in the next video this is Philly beats you and I'm out


In 2012, Universal Postal Union's 192-member countries adopted the DOA Postal Strategy, a four-year roadmap for the global postal sector. What progress has been achieved so far? Posts are interconnected like never before, but more data must be exchanged with customs and transporters to improve quality of service. Today, much international mail fails to be delivered within five days, and on average it takes six to ten days for a typical customer to receive goods ordered from an e-tailer abroad, only by better integrating postal, customs and transportation systems worldwide, and synchronizing processes can end to end quality of service improve. Reaching foreign markets is difficult for small and medium-sized enterprises, yet leading economists say governments have much to gain in reducing trade barriers. In Latin America, many small businesses that would have never exported their goods otherwise use the post to reach new markets through easy export initiatives launched by their governments. Based on these experiences, the Universal Postal Union is now helping other countries improve the access of small businesses to foreign markets with its own easy export program. The postal network must be a critical partner in bringing trade barriers down. Posts are operating in a double-digit growth industry, and their parcel volumes have exploded over the last decade. The Universal Postal Union's new e-commerce program provides global solutions to meet customers' evolving needs, such as a new parcel service for e-commerce items, a cross-border return service for goods bought online, and an electronic customs declaration system to speed up items' clearance. Innovation isn't just about the latest technology. It's also about reading the market accurately and creating the services customers will need tomorrow. Never before have so many people been part of a formal financial system thanks to postal services. Globally, posts offer financial products to more than one billion people. But there's still an incredible potential to extend financial inclusion to 2.7 billion unbanked people in the world, as well as provide accessible and affordable money transfer services to migrant workers through postal services, including the Universal Postal Union's rebranded electronic postal payment service. Post offices form the largest physical network on the planet. You often find them in rural and isolated areas where financial institutions don't exist. That's a powerful network for fighting exclusion and empowering citizens everywhere. Steady progress is being made on achieving the goals of the DOA postal strategy. But as postal services undergo a radical transformation, only a sustained effort will ensure that the global postal sector continues to deliver integrated, innovative and inclusive solutions for development.


Hello and welcome to ST's booth at PCIM 2023. When creating solutions for industrial motor control, designers have to face a number of challenges. You're thinking about heat dissipation, cost-effectiveness and space constraints. Today I'm going to show you our proposal for a decentralized servo drive using an isolated SMD-based topside pool power package. So, normally industrial drives are mounted separately from the motor. The electrical power is then transported through cables. These cables have a cost and the wiring and maintenance are not negligible either. The alternative that we propose is to integrate the power electronics into the motor body. Now, when integrating power electronics into the motor using traditional SMD-based packages, the main challenge is to avoid heat dissipation through the PCB. Thanks to our new innovative power package, ASPEC-SMIT, this can be avoided. ASPEC-SMIT is an isolated topside pooled surface mount package and thanks to this there is no need for cooling through the PCB anymore. The heat sink is so much more effective. ASPEC-SMIT can host different topologies like rectifier, PFC, English current limiter and in this case a 12V IGVT half-bridge is in development. By integrating electronics into the motor, the power drive system reduces in size, especially cabinet size, on top of which you gain efficiency using silicon carbide MOSFETs. Our reference design is using a lot of components from the ST portfolio beside the power switches in the ASPEC-SMIT package. We also have calvanic isolated gate drivers, sigma-delta analog to digital converters and data isolators. And along with an STM32 microcontroller, we have an isolated DC-DC for the gate drive supply. We have everything you need. For more details, please contact your local sales office or ST distributor. See you soon!
