The Internet: A Global Network with Vulnerabilities

The red is because it's a capital expenditure and they're gonna make that money back but it does match their game plan in the U.S. Yeah, they were not profitable for a very long time so and then AWS saved them we'll see because they're still not a profitable bookstore happens with that if you're in Yemen be thankful that you've just come out of a terrible time and I probably don't need to tell you about it but for everybody else this happened to them.

A Cut in the Internet: A Day-Long Outage

A cut of an undersea cable plunged humanity into a day-long internet outage. The only thing I could wonder about while reading this was did Russia do it? Is this Russia's fault? No, it was some old lady on the boat. Oh, that's a crazy-looking city! I don't think that's an old lady; it's like a commercial. Yeah, oh it's like that same old lady who tried to paint over the Jesus face. No, it was like there was a hit - the commercial fishing story. A couple of years or a couple of weeks ago and it was you know this lady that was like 68 years old and she was like out on a boat hauling up lobster nets and it was like dude, that's the old lady who was harvesting car... yeah, you have a fiber box so this was a big ship that probably dropped her anchor and dragged it over the cable. But they have very little redundancy; actually, none, and a lot of these places work just completely cut off with that cable.

A Lamentation on Infrastructure

But and it's because the water is really shallow at that point, but they're like it's a good thing because it's shallow, so we'll just jump down there and tape it back together. No big deal! It took a few days to tape it back together. Moving on to the meager social section this week, we have Jack Dorsey talking about everybody wants to edit tweets but if you spend 30 seconds thinking about what would happen if you realize that... Y says no! Jack Dorsey says we'll probably never be able to edit tweets; why because people are awful. I kind of agree with him.

Proofreading and the Internet

I guess you could do like a timer, like you can edit your tweet up to like five minutes. I talked about a minute or 30 seconds yeah I posed but of course what's gonna happen is you know somebody's gonna tweet something and you're gonna retweet it and be like I agree wholeheartedly, and then they're gonna change it to be something terrible. Or you could wait you know, a few minutes after you see the tweet tweet it later tweet tweet tweet tweet. Well, that could also just be fixed with proofreading no I can't do that I'm very careful with my tweets, very often now before Twitter locked down their API like the horrible maniacal bastards they are there were certain Android open source and Android apps where when you tweeted it wouldn't actually post it until about 45 seconds after you said - so when you hit tweet it would show like you had tweeted it but it was actually just local in the app, and that gave you the ability to edit your tweet. But with the crackdown on third-party applications accessing the Twitter API, it was not to be.

The Importance of Proofreading

Listen I don't think you should have that net take care when tweeting do it cautiously even Gmail gives you like a minute to unsend an email - that was like an April Fool's feature that they actually implement again. And proofread and this story will guarantee that we cannot monetize this episode of the news, but it is hilarious also it's extra hilarious when you realize that his other nickname is poo. That's probably what happened; Facebook says a technical error caused a vulgar translation of the Chinese leader's name so they're talking about Gigi and Peng, and his name was translated as "mr." whole Shay - that was pig. The vulgar word in English for poop it met the Burmese leader here, and of course a lot of automatic news riding eyes took over, and they're like, hey, they went to Burma he met with the leader but they translated that into Burmese, and those "ayahs" had never tried to translate his name although why would you? It's a proper noun. But anyway, they tried, and that's what they came up with this picture.

A Misunderstanding

I like to imagine that he's just like I got a vice grip on her hand, and she's trying to smile through the pain it's like oh please let me go; hey his hand is covered in something sticky definitely demonetized probably banned now too. Unfortunate but they fixed it, and they apologized, and he is now properly translated into Burmese.

Will It Be Long Wednesday or Friday?

Tomorrow are we gonna do long Wednesday or Friday?

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello today's January 21st and we're doing government and to social stories this is another weird week I've been told mostly government apparently no government business or equal which leaves I'm in today a weird oh yeah yeah yeah yeah today's gonna be 90 percent a lot of people hate the Facebook stories but Facebook's constant in the news they're not this week Facebook didn't used to constantly be in the news I mean it is worth pointing that out like you know the so people realized how the business model actually works well the sucker bot was working in shadows and now oh boy yeah he's not so it's better to know yeah it's better to know it's unpleasant but it's always better to know which is why I haven't been to a doctor in 2 15 20 years you have to retire to candidate just yeah I do some medical tourism some light medical tours we get a story about that later that's not in this section though but first let's talk about Facebook yeah Jeffrey's be like that I forgot this was the first story it's not as much about Facebook as it is about Facebook and their ilk drawing the ire of the presidential candidates who wants to sound bites Biden wants to get rid of the law the shields companies like Facebook from liability for what their users post this is section 230 or it's like if some random person does something terrible on your forum the forum owner can't be held responsible so he's not a fan of that if somebody wanders into a Walmart and yells fire everybody get out of the top of their lungs obviously Walmart should be responsible for that I think there's a quote in here Oh sake is it like if you push that to the real life thing it's like no that's like but he said something like it makes sense anyway but it really doesn't make sense when you put it that way literally senile or actually completely ignorant no that's just a pandering move and people won't think about it critically and be like oh okay yeah I hate Facebook they said something like I've never liked Zuckerberg which okay way to show that you know unbiased here so yeah the very unflattering photo does he have a lot of flattering photos he's kind of creepy I mean that it seems like it would be disastrously bad if that were you know revoked well he seems to think that he can tailor it to only the really big companies that's also look like that I'm also like big companies isn't that like the worst use case because they're so big it's impossible to monitor everything like it's hard to monitor our forum and it's not that big so Times Square it's really big if someone yells fire at the top of their lungs in the middle of Times Square obviously Times Square should be responsible for what's government's fault but we've seen that Facebook is doing a lot to try to stop it but it's just the point of introducing PTSD and the moderators and it's just such a huge tide a cesspool of trash because as we've learned the worst people are the biggest online posters also I don't know if you guys can hear it but the boiler snake is in effect he's got a bit of a cold he's a little wheezy he's wheezing yeah it's not hammering anymore it's like I could I've been working on the boiler but doing the boiler repair slowly over the years this might be as loud as he ever gets now well cyberattacks have not let up and as usual you blame the nation-states it's never said which nation-state but there are three that we pretty much always blame we've always been at war and this one is a little bit of good news though maybe gifts you think these guys will get a bonus no no it's not chance city of Las Vegas said that it successfully avoided a devastating cyberattack there was a security breach took place on January 7th of the city detected and the intrusion in time to prevent any any damage if you've read the description though they got pretty far into the system before somebody noticed and if they had been just a tiny bit more reserved they might have been able to hang around the system longer before anybody noticed do you think the IT guy will get a raise no or do you think they'll just be like oh you should have caught it earlier yeah they'll probably fire him because it's like oh you should and it's like look I can't help it that you guys still think rocks and sticks or advanced technology I was also 453 local time so somebody had got a bed yeah yeah with it which again no one ever appreciates but Las Vegas was in the minority this week it was 33 percent of the story okay so would I don't think they were counted in this number now that FBI's not saying who but they are saying that this happened basin state actors have breached to you u.s. municipalities the SharePoint CVE 2019 oh six oh four vulnerability has been one of the most targeted security flaws I didn't think that that was a flaw that was described in the in the Vegas article so there might be three of these but it turns out this SharePoint flaw has been around for a while and these cities that use SharePoint and haven't patched well they're just wide open and that can serve as a platform for elevating their privileges beyond just whatever user the sharepoint service runs as questions about this this image here well I was gonna say how do you like their circa 1998 web design on the FBI fly you know something something tells me that that's probably not responsive but it's hard to say what what really screams that to me you know I'm glad that my tax dollars are apparently not to work at this but I would say that probably there was like a huge government contract to produce that website and it makes me sad on the inside yeah twenty percent of it what did that hey we need more lightning bolts we need to show how serious we are that lightning bolt cost five thousand dollars and more on the FBI just said actually the FBI block a lot of FBI this week they've been busy since I got the new budget for the year so it's gonna be gone by February and so the FBI were coming up on the election in case you're living under Iraq and the FBI is somewhat responsible for securing the election but in the past when it comes to hacking they had a very weird rule and you have to question why they have that rule what the good news is they're changing it the FBI has changed his policy for notifying states of election systems and cyber breaches Bureau previously would inform two counties counties yeah but not states of hackie so why would you keep the state in the dark I like that you said that so slowly you didn't understand that you're like that's right victim counties but not in this prayer but like the voter stuff that I've personally been exposed to is aggregated beyond the county level far far more often than people would care to admit like all the little counties are working with state level data everybody's got a copy of it but you the reporting from your little precinct so whatever precinct got hit mmm only those people heard about it and probably out of fear for their jobs and their cushy committee positions they didn't want to tell the states hmm so maybe they were less likely to report if the state had to find out about it scary either way our poor election system I certainly don't trust it listen okay I'm past caring I'm the best possible scenario I think in the coming election is Sanders gets elected yes I'm saying that and he turns out to be no different than any of the ones before just like all the ones before and it destroys this hopefulness do we have yeah like I was really excited for Obama I was like hope and change and then nothing really changed that much I don't see it going that way but I think that's the best possible now I'm not saying that's what should like the best situation is we have a real presidential candidate since we don't have that that's what I want to see I want to see Sanders and then just wipe out the hope the crazy thing is that we actually do have the technology to manage the things that we did not previously have the technology to manage like corruption like we could actually figure all that out now mathematically no but no one wants to you would never yeah you'd be killed yeah I'm speaking of someone who might be in the crosshairs after he's become petulant and argumentative to the powers that be how about mr. Tim Apple Apple responds to Attorney General bar over unlocking the Pensacola shooters phone no that's the headline but in reality Apple has said look we've complied with all this stuff I think that I would go so far as to say that Attorney General bar is being deliberately misleading and it's just outright lying because not to defend Apple but one of the things the bar said was that Apple was dragging their heels on responding and so Tim Cook was like okay we were responded in four hours on this thing and the very next business day on this other thing so how is that dragging our heels exactly Apple stopped short of saying and also you have tools to unlock the phones but there are tools like grey key that will unlock the phones we're not talking about the latest and greatest Apple technology here we're talking about an Apple iPhone five and a seven Trump also tweeted the US government's done so much to help Apple that's like what you're admitting that shouldn't we not be doing that isn't that against the whole idea of the free market but as you say it doesn't matter because one of their two phones and there are different models one of them they already got with cellebrite before all this I think yeah which is nonsense and the next one has also fallen the FBI unlocks an iPhone 11 Pro max using grey key raising privacy concerns I have a real question why this background is purple why would you notice that the default background color to black hack read has a style sense that you don't appreciate crystal also it's a gradient those ingredients in overlay an actual background because like please scroll down it's like a fixed it should be background sized cover but it doesn't fit because they whoever made this article made too small that when the developer when the developer did this they're probably I'll just do purple so I can make sure the headers working and they never changed it and now the purple showing up because that they were like that edge case will never happen and yet here we are I bet that argue that is on purpose because it's so beautiful anyway that's unrelated tangent anyway this is like bar wants it to be easy to just do surreptitious surveillance at all times because they have that with literally every other technology that's what they want then won't come right out and say that but that would be honest and no one's capable of honesty anymore yeah well it's obviously an arms race yeah an apple keeps getting better and they worry about a day when Apple gets so good that they can't beat it doesn't seem like that day is today you know no but listen government is in the long game that's the one thing they do amazingly well is the long con so he's he knows he can get what he wants now but you just keep chipping away at that resistance like oh man please unlock the phone so it's like they're already unlocked and there's a lot of public sentiment there's a lot of Trump people who will turn against Apple just because Trump tweeted and said they're not helping out with national security that's crazy because it was it's like literally helping themselves into the guillotine well they're good people they would never do that and speaking of the all-seeing eye these images were terrified the all-seeing eye can you hide from it no what about the darkness nope still can't hide from it even in the darkness it sees everything military is building long-range facial recognition that works in the dark what they mean by works in the dark is that the heat emitted from your body is enough to give off details that can be fed into a facial recognition system kill me yeah so pretty impressive yeah the top picture kind of reminds me of that Monty Python skit where it's like you choose a hiding place and they keep blowing up the hiding places it's like he's chosen poorly so they don't have this yet they want it to be built and they're there saying here's what we have to have it's 10 to 500 meters and has to work in all sorts of lighting conditions so even if you're in the dark but you have let's say a street lamp behind your head they still want that to work it can't be blinded by the street lamp and it has to be able to work with all the facial recognition stuff obviously so so you're only you're only safe place to hide is behind an active electrical transformer oh and fog has to be able to you fog well we could I say here's another idea for a level one product like a scarf with a little battery in it that just has heat going in front of your face at all times there would be toasty and secure I was thinking that you were going somewhere else with that look at a scarf that you pull a lever and in its emergency heated decoy so like you know you pull the thing and then like a person inflates but it's got like one of those hand warmer things in it so that's like that's the decoy body but you don't know when this has happened yeah you want you want that on all the time also though just keep your nose warmer that's like that's actually a really good idea yeah or we could do it spraying practical I have a little vent in the bill mm-hmm just just a shield of heat and turning the face neat whether I have to be really big battery is the only yeah so I know we'll work on that but in all these terrifying stories about the FBI now here's a good one they've finally done something useful with their 2020 budget and I I got to say more of this please man FBI arrest man suspected of orchestrating dozens of swatting calls they got a lucky break oh so this guy was in West Virginia or Virginia I was in Virginia and so he accidentally called his old school to threaten them and so the police came and and you know scanned his phone and took in you know got a warrant and took his for him because he threatened his school and in that they found evidence of all this other stuff so they just got a lucky break how old is this guy not super old he's looks a lot like the other swatted guy well it's let's say like if he's in school but that guy he's got like a full beard I guess maybe he's caught maybe in college uh yeah I think I might have been caught okay that makes more sense so this was the guy who was doing like the recon and finding out information about the targets and then that would be passed on to the actual callers who placed the calls and they rated him and sure enough he'd kept like little digital trophies and news clippings of all of his attacks put them under the jail that's a horrible thing and the Navy now we've talked about the Navy and they're in this video the secret UFO stuff that's not so secret somehow I somebody like missed it in quality control and they let a video get out where was like oh the pilot is just like what is that oh my god and a lot of these guys have come out and they've done interviews and stuff and they're like yep this is what happened and they're not trying to shut me up so it's kind of weird but maybe they are not telling us everything the Navy has a secret classified video of an infamous UFO incident records request shows of the Pentagon has discovered certain briefing slides that are classified top-secret and a video classified secret so there's a video on the website you can watch which according to the article is just a clip from a much longer video although some other people denied that there is a longer video but this is the same one we reported on a couple of months ago these are just some new developments about this it appears to move like you know how Russia has the rocket that can move like 20 times faster than the speed of sound and blah blah blah this even goes beyond that and doesn't appear to have any kind of rocketry emissions or or infrared emissions or anything like that like a typical thing would have and it also moves in ways that can't be explained by Newtonian mechanics this is not a screenshot I want to believe well the actual screenshot is only a few pixels we don't know that's the idea the one we've seen this is about what we haven't seen oh yeah yeah it's just a longer version of that with more more commentary and dialogue currently so there's also that government agency that was created to track UFOs which they admitted but now they have changed their story and I say that has nothing to do with UFOs so is this one of ours or is it something else you know it could just be that the government's so wildly inefficient but they lose track of their own stuff well if it is one of ours have we learned to create artificial gravity because that would be neat that's the thinker's that if we are so like wildly inefficient and the way that you say I doubt we could ever create something like that yeah because we did create a new aircraft it took us a lot of years and billions and billions of dollars to do it and when I say us I mean Lockheed Martin and taxpayer dollars the partnership made in Evan it's disappointed in a lot of ways and this is the latest a broken computer system is costing f-35 maintain is 45,000 hours a year protip there's only 2,000 working hours in a year now Lockheed Martin has to rebuild the whole thing so that seems like a lot like a lot look how majestic it is well we're gonna rebuild the computers barely flying see on the one hand it's like oh we've mastered the laws of physics we've invented new physics that go beyond you know I don't know the einstein-rosen bridge or something and now it's like oh yeah our embedded system in this jet we accidentally made it out of stale hohos so this thing is supposed to manage the maintenance and like track all the flights and the service and stuff like that and it just simply doesn't work so they're constantly working around it or rather than servicing the job the other thing about the f-35 is it was built to be more of a ground support all-around thing than a dog fighter which is great if you're at war with Middle East I won't know more about the gravity machine the big t-mobile Sprint merger continues and the states continue to fight back and t-mobile and Sprint continue to lie like dogs about the merger t-mobile and Sprint urged the court to deal the year to give an approval because the states are warning of price hikes and no no no that's t-mobile and Sprint has to merge because they will be in a better position to compete and also t-mobile's CEO that guy he said yeah bro sprint like sprint is struggling and if we don't buy them they're just gonna go under I really bad made some bad business decisions now the states have presented some compelling evidence that if they simply took all that merger effort and reinvested it maybe they could compete but they say no so we'll see also in some of the transcripts from that nobody asked any good questions about the fact that these providers have different incompatible technologies so it's like okay you're gonna merge but your technology is incompatible what what you can do the customers you're gonna force Sprint customers to buy all new t-mobile phones that the plan well we're gonna need some money from the US government to cover this that would make them a lot of money just to invalidate stuff that's already out there that works beautifully for Apple well the Supreme Court has been busy not really no fair well if what's the average age is 506 no wonder they can't get anything done you want you to think that it's like I've only got so much time left we have to get through these cases at all the time I want to spend time with their great great great great great great children they're sitting there thinking oh man I can't wait to get to those Fig Newtons in the Restless I wish these people would stop talking I really need to pee so uh they have been accepting and turning down cases and disappointing a lot of people and the latest one has to do with patents but a very evil kind of patent really if you think about it Supreme Court declines to consider medical diagnostic patents so is is a process for diagnosing a condition or a patient or whatever is that a patentable process and right now the answer is no so the people mostly and questionary have some kind of software that wasn't built for diagnosing this kind of cancer but they figured out I think through like some kind of machine learning is like wait everybody who matches this profile in our software has this kind of cancer oh my god we've come up with this crazy new diagnostic and it's super reliable we should get paid for this and that obviously some people are like oh my god you monsters just let us use it save these people's lives and they wanted the Supreme Court to consider it but they won't good I gotta take naps really I don't think there's enough people on the Supreme Court to understand software well enough to make the call yeah yeah because they were born before the invention of software but everyone before the individual transistors CloudFlare is doing some very generous things but is it though because let's remember that CloudFlare has started to censor based on its own personal beliefs and not anything to do with the law a little bit and it's justified really if you think about it twice your primacy and what was the other one human trafficking or something so bad so yeah yeah but what if they change their mind and they get a political opinion CloudFlare is giving away its security tools to u.s. political campaigns so both sides basically if it you're running a campaign and you want to use cloud flares tools you can use them completely free of charge so I think this is probably like I don't think CloudFlare is doing any direct behavior here I think they're just saying we've got our suite of tools and if you want to implement our tools yourself we will not charge you seems fine why though why not well I got to protect it from the terrace so you'd have to pay for this otherwise I mean any big website yeah it's something though but like wouldn't you make more money off of a political campaign well I mean like at the local district here is like the little webpage that's just like somebody sitting in front of the computer just banging out crap and WordPress is you know run by the like the local ISP and it would only take like 0.35 Russian oligarchs to take that offline but if it were behind CloudFlare they're using cloud players tools then even our little local group could probably not be knocked offline like sense everybody gets it for free but they did forget to send yang his key they tend to leave him out well how about bullying it happens in schools it happens in sports teams it happens in the workplace but you might not have thought about this kind of bullying which is really if you think about it it's the most asymmetrical kind of bullying of all because it doesn't get any bigger than the big tech companies pop saw kids so no style and base camp are going to ask Congress to help stop a big tech bullying on antitrust all of these companies have very specific and fairly narrow complaints about stuff that big technology has done to them that they feel slighted by so like Sonos is suing google for stealing speaker designs maybe maybe not we'll see how that shakes out base camps I think is the most interesting one of them all base camps collaboration software so if you search base camp base camps competitors can set their ads to show up when somebody searches base camp and that's completely fine there's nothing illegal about that if base camp would like for that to not happen then base camp has to outbid their competitors for keywords the people might search like base camp and that's most of what base camp is combining about the some of this one also though they talk about how Amazon would just send them emails it's like hey we lower this price that's how this is like what weight we know we don't want to lower that price and I was like no we're lowering it and by the way we need you to implement these features in your next speaker I'm altered the deal Brad not altered any further so talk about Disney right now we also mentioned that the the emails like Amazon's like oh those were just requests but they produced the emails and they don't sound like so maybe they've got a point thing I don't know now you can't choose not to do business with these people but they are pretty powerful so I guess there's an argument there that's a good one it'd be interesting to see how that plays out meanwhile while we have it's interesting the two sort of approaches of the different governments on one hand you have the US who's like hmm facial-recognition make it work in the dark and now the other hand you have the EU EU is mold of five year ban on facial recognition in public spaces so the European Union is considering making it illegal to use facial recognition technology for commercial or government purposes in public spaces they found a demon for the stock photo yeah they're gonna recognize anything about that image also isn't EU like or at least I know like London and parts of Britain are like the highest number of cameras yeah for like a small area but they're not gonna be in the EU that's true also I guarantee there will be an exception for the you know like the alphabet agencies and stuff you know there's no way they're gonna hamper them like that and if they do they'll do it illegally and they'll apologize later yeah so don't think that they're innocent they're not that's a nice headline and it's I guess the individual stores can't spy on you which is some kind of progress at least I guess no they don't need your faces though he or they've got the Bluetooth low-energy beacons that's true hey our credit card RFID there's a lot of ways a lot of ways to do that PII it's the new asbestos and another thing that Europe wants to do is to deal with charger spam or waste as it is because you have all these different kinds of chargers and I mean how many charges do you think you've thrown away cover the course of USB transformations like a hundred and you always hold them too long everybody does yeah they get a big ziploc bag full of I've got this 5 volt 0.25 amp charger so the EU says we're throwing too much stuff away we got to do something about this we're looking right at you apple with your stupid non-standard port stop it and apples like oh sure but it's for a really specific reason they're saying sure as Apple plus 2 drop iPhone ports your plans to get a lot Mike all phones have the same charger so they're talking about USB see it's like hey all phones can go to USB see it it's future proof enough because there's a USBC power delivery all the way up to 100 watts and even a little beyond that if you want to get creative so 100 watt phone charger yeah we could totally do that in Apple's like no we're gonna go wireless charging probably I mean that's been the rumor that circulating for a while there is some evidence to support that but it's amazing that Apple is so petty about adhering to some kind of a standard that they would you know do that that's terrible cuz wireless charging isn't super fast so if you're in airport yeah but Apple has already moved us PC and what it's like that one of the iPads and something else you know so obviously they're thinking about it and it is dumb to have of course what do you think their revenue on chargers is probably insane it's probably just like there are many other plugins and stuff that I don't think it would hurt him that much to just standardize okay so it's not all about it's not about hurting that much it's not ringing every last customer if you're not doing that then why are you in business we're doing this for a better customer experience no you're not don't lie it's not far and speaking of wireless charging yeah that's great and everything but how about those massive tumors that are growing inside of you because a lot of you already started typing no hang on but I'm not the one saying that mobile phones cause tumors an Italian Court has ruled in defiance of the evidence the judge has found the prolonged use can cause tumors going against massive scientific opinion yeah phones don't cause tumors Buster says you in Italy it's like can we get some money out of these foreigners we can yeah it sounds like tumors so this guy the guy in question sued maybe his workplace cuz he was some kind of tech for a mobile company and he claims he spent four to five hours a day on mobile telephones which is crazy so he got super super health it was a benign tumor but I think it was on like an optical nerve or something and it blinded him or severely damaged his vision and so he's suing and they have ruled that yes he gets compensation oh I'm a four to five hours a day on mobile phone seems like his company health plan would cover that maybe a little excessive yes fits your job well Amazon's Jeff Bezos when he's not busy conquering America which let's face it he's already done he's already the manager got to conquer middle-earth too and that said he's building his own highway and Airport he needs that and but he's not content to stop he wants to conquer new horizons and how about the biggest emerging market in the world Amazon's fresh one billion dollar investment in India is not a big favourites as the India trade minister and I gotta admit the India trade ministers reasoning is as sound as it is simple you'll have to scroll down because I don't remember exactly I would butcher it otherwise but yeah yeah it's like they may have put in a billion dollars but then if they make a loss of a billion dollars every year then they don't Charlie will have to finance that billion dollars what he's talking about is Amazon is spending a billion dollars in India but if they're in the red then they're not really investing in India is investing in Amazon in in that regard and he talks to thee the Indian Finance Minister whatever talks about how Amazon and some of their industries is deeply in the red and so he's saying well if India if if Amazon is losing money on these ventures that doesn't that suggest that the for those ventures it's a little predatory they're using their other business units to prop up that business unit so that they can take over that market and compete unfairly and it's like like I was gonna end up dead somewhere soon maybe worth looking into so he points out that the amazon.com like you know get your package in today's thing doesn't actually make a ton of money I say might not make any money and AWS makes all the money while they used those proceeds to do things like for Sonos to build speakers tutors and he doesn't want that to happen in India because India is trying to do its own e-commerce thing you know and yeah so now Amazon said that the reason they're so in the red is because it's a capital expenditure and they're they're gonna make that money back but it does match their game plan in the u.s. yeah they were not profitable for a very long time so and then AWS saved them we'll see because they're still not a profitable bookstore happens with that if you're in Yemen be thankful that you're watching this because you've just come out of a terrible time and I probably don't need to tell you about it but for everybody else this happened to them a cut of an undersea cable plunges human into a day's long internet outage the only thing I could wonder about while reading this was did Russia do it is this Russia's fault no it was some old lady on the boat oh that's a crazy-looking City I don't think was an old lady it's like a commercial yeah oh it's like that same old lady who tried to paint over the Jesus face no it was like it was like there was a hit the commercial fishing story a couple a couple of years or a couple of weeks ago and it was you know this lady that was like 68 was like out on a boat like hauling up you know lobster nets and it was like dude that's the old lady was the one she was harvesting car yeah you have a fiber box so this was a big ship that probably dropped her anchor and dragged it over the cable but they have very little redundancy actually none and a lot of these places so a lot of these African countries work just completely cut off with that cable but and it's because the it's really shallow the water is really shallow at that point but they're like it's a good thing because it's shallow so we'll just jump down there and tape it back together no big deal it took it took a few days to tape it back together I'm moving on to the meager social section this week we have Jack Dorsey talking about everybody wants to edit tweets but if you spend 30 seconds thinking about what would happen if you realize that Y says no Jack Dorsey says we'll probably never be able to edit tweets why because people are awful that's why I kind of agree with him I guess you could do like a timer like you can edit your tweet up to like five minutes I talked about a minute or 30 seconds yeah I posed but of course what's gonna happen is you know somebody's gonna tweet something and you're gonna retweet it and be like I agree wholeheartedly and then they're gonna change it to be something terrible or you could wait you know a few minutes after you see the tweet tweet it later tweet tweet tweet tweet well that could also just be fixed with proofreading no I can't do that I'm very careful with my tweets very often now before Twitter locked down their API like the horrible maniacal bastards they are there were certain Android open source and Android apps where when you tweeted it wouldn't actually post it until about 45 seconds after you said - so when you hit tweet it would show like you had tweeted it but it was actually just local in the app and that gave you the ability to edit your tweet but with the crackdown on third-party applications accessing the Twitter API it was not to be listen I don't think you should have that net take care when tweeting do it cautiously even Gmail gives you like a minute to unsend an email that was like an April Fool's feature that they actually implement again proofread and this story will guarantee that we cannot monetize this episode of the news but it is hilarious also it's extra hilarious when you realize that his other nickname is poo that's probably what happened facebook says a technical error caused a vulgar vulgar translation of the Chinese leaders name so they're talking about Gigi and Peng and his his name was translated as mr. it whole Shay that was pig that was an attempted Pig life it was people so the vulgar word in English for poop he met the Burmese leader here and of course a lot of automatic news riding a eyes took over and they're like hey they went to Burma he met with the leader but they translated that into Burmese and those ayahs had never tried to translate his name although why would you it's a proper noun but anyway they tried and that's what they came up with this picture I like to imagine that he's just like I got a vise grip on her hand and she's trying to smile through the pain it's like oh please let me go hey his hand is covered in like there's something sticky definitely demonetized probably banned now too so unfortunate but they fixed it and they apologized and he is now properly translated into Burmese well tomorrow are we gonna do long Wednesday or long Friday hello you'll have to tune in to find out because we can't decide right now see tomorrow\n"
