WEBVTT - News & Analysis | No. 279 0:00:35.126 --> 0:00:37.676 All right, welcome to Episode two. Seventy nine, if you're 0:00:37.676 --> 0:00:40.556 having a good start to the week. Starting off with 0:00:40.556 --> 0:00:46.416 security news. FBI and CIA have released new tactics being 0:00:46.415 --> 0:00:50.705 used by Russia's SVR, SVR is also known as EPEAT 0:00:50.706 --> 0:00:54.306 29 and Cozy Bare, and they're believed to be responsible 0:00:54.306 --> 0:00:58.865 for solar winds and many other attacks. They're believed to 0:00:58.866 --> 0:01:03.786 be primarily targeting government networks, think tank and policy analysis 0:01:03.786 --> 0:01:09.366 organizations and information technology companies, and their tips have evidently 0:01:09.366 --> 0:01:13.236 moved from installing malware networks. This was back before like 0:01:13.235 --> 0:01:19.116 2018 to attacking cloud email services such as Microsoft's Office 365, 0:01:19.776 --> 0:01:23.226 password spraying and targeting VPN services and a whole bunch 0:01:23.226 --> 0:01:28.086 of other tidbits as well. But the they collaborated again, 0:01:28.086 --> 0:01:30.755 like we're seeing a lot from the government right now 0:01:31.446 --> 0:01:35.856 and releasing these joint reports, talking about how people can 0:01:36.396 --> 0:01:42.425 look for signs of compromise, signs of attack, and just 0:01:42.426 --> 0:01:48.446 generally collaborating and communication, which I think is fantastic. Says 0:01:48.446 --> 0:01:53.785 also released an advisory around Arktos Systems, Real-Time Operating Systems for. 0:01:55.256 --> 0:01:58.076 Industry experts have submitted an 81 page report to the 0:01:58.076 --> 0:02:02.786 Bush administration aimed at coordinating efforts to counter ransomware. They 0:02:02.876 --> 0:02:05.126 are looking to unify into a task force that helps 0:02:05.126 --> 0:02:09.775 disrupt the problem, using a combination of techniques, including disrupting payments, 0:02:10.136 --> 0:02:14.875 prosecuting attackers and disrupting services that support the ecosystem, including 0:02:14.876 --> 0:02:21.666 forums where services are sold. Python Library IP address is 0:02:21.666 --> 0:02:25.986 vulnerable to a critical IP address, validation vulnerability first found 0:02:25.986 --> 0:02:30.665 in the Net Mask library earlier this year. This particular 0:02:30.666 --> 0:02:34.595 issue basically causes leading zeros to be stripped off of addresses, 0:02:34.896 --> 0:02:39.486 which is allowing attackers to bypass filters. So basically, you 0:02:39.486 --> 0:02:42.786 can't really tell what's going to get allowed through based 0:02:42.786 --> 0:02:45.366 on what's being sent because it's doing some wonky stuff 0:02:45.576 --> 0:02:49.205 with the input. So we definitely want to patch that, 0:02:49.216 --> 0:02:51.766 I think this is introduced in Python three to three. 0:02:53.005 --> 0:02:56.786 If I'm remembering correctly, but either way, you want to 0:02:56.786 --> 0:03:00.145 make sure you're running the latest version of chicken or 0:03:00.146 --> 0:03:04.015 at least that you have this patch installed. Krebs says 0:03:04.016 --> 0:03:08.426 Experian has a leaky API that exposed most Americans credit 0:03:08.425 --> 0:03:12.025 scores for some period of time. Independent researcher that found 0:03:12.026 --> 0:03:14.576 this as usual and brought it to Krebs and Krebs 0:03:14.606 --> 0:03:18.676 says the story on it. Census found more than one 0:03:18.675 --> 0:03:23.026 point ninety three million databases exposed to the Internet on 0:03:23.026 --> 0:03:25.305 cloud servers, so it was looking for a whole bunch 0:03:25.305 --> 0:03:29.986 of databases and it found mostly Misako, followed by PostgreSQL 0:03:29.995 --> 0:03:35.276 and Breadths. Kaspersky says it found new malware, which it 0:03:35.276 --> 0:03:38.535 believes based on a bunch of patterns within the code, 0:03:39.146 --> 0:03:44.376 it believes it was created by the CIA. The NYPD 0:03:44.376 --> 0:03:47.696 has canceled the use of its robotic dog due to 0:03:47.706 --> 0:03:52.076 public backlash. And they're complaining because they're saying this thing 0:03:52.076 --> 0:03:55.376 would have saved a lot of people or helped a 0:03:55.376 --> 0:03:59.545 lot of people and avoided putting people in bad positions, 0:03:59.546 --> 0:04:03.696 especially police in bad positions. But I don't know if 0:04:03.696 --> 0:04:06.596 you make something that looks like a black mirror episode, 0:04:07.056 --> 0:04:11.736 I think you can expect bad things to happen. U.S. 0:04:11.736 --> 0:04:15.936 Navy SEALs are shifting from counterterrorism to global skills, which 0:04:15.936 --> 0:04:19.595 are more technology oriented, such as electronic warfare in the 0:04:19.596 --> 0:04:23.075 use of unmanned systems, also known as drones, for the 0:04:23.076 --> 0:04:27.396 purposes of collecting intelligence. And they're evidently heading more towards 0:04:27.396 --> 0:04:30.546 the boats, which they used to operate from in the past. 0:04:31.536 --> 0:04:35.616 As opposed to doing counterterrorism in the desert and other places. 0:04:38.366 --> 0:04:42.056 Microsoft released updates to at least 110 security issues in 0:04:42.056 --> 0:04:45.986 its monthly patch Tuesday release, including for updates to exchange. 0:04:46.976 --> 0:04:51.476 They've also identified two dozen so vulnerabilities and Iot and devices, 0:04:52.196 --> 0:04:55.966 and they're collectively being called Bad Elich because they're due 0:04:55.976 --> 0:05:01.476 to memory allocation problems. Cisco firewalls have several remote, accessible 0:05:01.746 --> 0:05:05.646 vulnerabilities that have patches available, there are patches out for Sumba, 0:05:06.186 --> 0:05:11.716 and TuneUp is warning of each Lucker ransomware. If you 0:05:11.716 --> 0:05:14.205 have tuned up, find a way to not have a 0:05:14.206 --> 0:05:19.336 tune up, that's my current advice. Park Mobile had a 0:05:19.336 --> 0:05:23.236 breach that exposed license plate and mobile number information for 0:05:23.236 --> 0:05:28.396 21 million users and Vectorized raised 130 million dollars to 0:05:28.396 --> 0:05:35.445 do a power saw. Technology news, Google is experimenting with 0:05:35.446 --> 0:05:39.736 new office designs as employees return from covid, they're mostly 0:05:39.736 --> 0:05:44.236 thinking about September ish or 1st returns back into the offices. 0:05:44.676 --> 0:05:48.376 They're going to be strongly encouraging, but not requiring that 0:05:48.376 --> 0:05:52.276 returning people are vaccinated. In the meantime, they've saved around 0:05:52.576 --> 0:05:56.236 one billion dollars by not having employees on site. But 0:05:56.236 --> 0:05:59.926 I think that's a separate calculation than determining whether or 0:05:59.926 --> 0:06:04.546 not they've actually increased or decreased productivity with the remote workforce. 0:06:05.136 --> 0:06:09.456 That'll be separate information to factor in their. Amazon is 0:06:09.456 --> 0:06:13.626 spending one billion dollars to raise operation workers pay by 0:06:13.626 --> 0:06:18.456 up to three dollars an hour. Tesla's upgrading its Powerwall 0:06:18.566 --> 0:06:23.006 two systems to Powerwall plus, which have the same capacity 0:06:23.006 --> 0:06:27.486 but higher surge output. They're trying to basically make like 0:06:27.486 --> 0:06:32.195 a decentralized power grid using their own products, which it's 0:06:32.196 --> 0:06:35.936 very much like really like it. I love the idea. 0:06:37.836 --> 0:06:42.296 The Linux kernel now has over one million commits. When 0:06:42.296 --> 0:06:46.636 or how many are malicious? Really think someone to do 0:06:46.636 --> 0:06:49.366 a full audit of this thing just seems nasty, especially 0:06:49.366 --> 0:06:54.346 given that recent University of Minnesota, I think, where they 0:06:54.346 --> 0:06:56.866 did a project, it got approved by the ethics board 0:06:57.106 --> 0:07:00.766 to actually submit malicious code to see if it got caught, 0:07:00.946 --> 0:07:04.026 which it didn't. And that's why that whole university is 0:07:04.026 --> 0:07:08.936 now banned from submitting code. But it seems like people 0:07:08.936 --> 0:07:12.196 are just mad because they exposed an ugly truth, like 0:07:12.656 --> 0:07:15.146 we need more people doing this kind of thing, you know, 0:07:15.146 --> 0:07:20.786 red teaming, something that's used by billions of devices and systems. 0:07:22.586 --> 0:07:27.756 Is it trillions? I don't know, but definitely billions. Companies, 0:07:27.756 --> 0:07:30.966 Amazon's net sales increased 44 percent in the first quarter 0:07:30.966 --> 0:07:35.796 of 2021, Microsoft's revenue increased 19 percent in the first quarter, 0:07:35.796 --> 0:07:38.646 and Google's revenue grew 34 percent in the first quarter. 0:07:41.346 --> 0:07:47.136 Humanos Fizer is currently testing a covid cure with 60 individuals, 0:07:47.136 --> 0:07:49.806 and if successful, this would be used in patients who 0:07:49.806 --> 0:07:52.536 already have covered as opposed to the vaccine, which is 0:07:52.536 --> 0:07:57.946 used to prevent getting it. They said basically in the story, which, 0:07:57.946 --> 0:08:00.676 you know, it's journalism, but they said it attacks the 0:08:00.676 --> 0:08:06.266 spine of the virus and basically tears it apart. Really exciting. 0:08:06.656 --> 0:08:08.486 Probably exciting for the company as well, if they were 0:08:08.486 --> 0:08:11.456 to be able to have this and the vaccine sometime. 0:08:13.636 --> 0:08:15.976 The measures taken to control the spread of covid have 0:08:15.976 --> 0:08:20.746 nearly eliminated influenza worldwide, U.S. deaths from the flu in 0:08:20.746 --> 0:08:25.926 twenty to twenty one season was around 600, and in 0:08:25.936 --> 0:08:28.546 the two years before it was twenty two thousand and 0:08:28.546 --> 0:08:36.655 34000 respectively. California is looking to stop messily from taking 0:08:36.655 --> 0:08:41.456 millions of gallons of its water. Global electric vehicle sales 0:08:41.456 --> 0:08:45.955 grew 41 percent in 2020. Soaring lumber prices are adding 0:08:45.956 --> 0:08:50.996 36000 dollars to the cost of new homes. Biden has 0:08:50.996 --> 0:08:55.826 proposed ARPA dush each he dorper for cancer. I think 0:08:55.826 --> 0:08:59.186 this is brilliant. Absolutely love it. It seems like they 0:08:59.186 --> 0:09:03.616 would call it like Karpas or Harpa. Just to keep 0:09:03.616 --> 0:09:09.226 the naming convention with Dapo, which is very recognizable. H 0:09:09.526 --> 0:09:14.536 doesn't have the same ring to it. Over 3000 cargo 0:09:14.536 --> 0:09:18.285 containers fell off ships last year, and we're already past 0:09:18.526 --> 0:09:20.866 that pace by a long shot because a thousand have 0:09:20.866 --> 0:09:24.556 already fallen into the ocean in 2021 due to pressure 0:09:24.556 --> 0:09:29.676 to speed up deliveries, causing more accidents. There's now a 0:09:29.676 --> 0:09:34.535 journal of controversial ideas, the JCI. Can't wait to see 0:09:34.536 --> 0:09:38.756 what they publish. And a new study shows that consumption 0:09:38.756 --> 0:09:43.826 of sugar sweetened beverages and high BMI independently are associated 0:09:43.826 --> 0:09:51.856 with lower testosterone in men. Content, ideas and analysis explaining threats, 0:09:51.856 --> 0:09:55.616 threat actors vulnerabilities and risk using a real world scenario. 0:09:56.326 --> 0:09:58.636 This is my expansion of a tweet by my friend 0:09:58.636 --> 0:10:02.476 Casey Ellis on how to think about these key infosec terms. 0:10:03.796 --> 0:10:06.046 What's the read if you ever have to get into 0:10:06.046 --> 0:10:12.966 these debates with. Friends and coworkers. A summary of biology 0:10:13.046 --> 0:10:17.486 Srinivasan Thoughts on the future, my passing of a fascinating 0:10:17.486 --> 0:10:23.996 for our conversation between Balaji Sreenevasan and Tim Ferriss, where 0:10:23.996 --> 0:10:26.606 they're talking about the ideas of cities becoming a lot 0:10:26.606 --> 0:10:30.116 more different from each other politically and attracting completely different 0:10:30.116 --> 0:10:34.226 types of people like Austin seems to be tech plus libertarianism, 0:10:34.226 --> 0:10:38.066 for example. Portland seems to be like hippie and anti authority. 0:10:38.936 --> 0:10:41.576 So assuming people are mobile enough to pick up and move, 0:10:41.576 --> 0:10:45.596 this could be a fascinating effect over time. Very significant 0:10:45.596 --> 0:10:48.026 effect over time. I think it really does depend on 0:10:48.026 --> 0:10:49.795 who can just pick up and move. I feel like 0:10:49.986 --> 0:10:53.276 that's not a super common thing, requires money to move 0:10:53.276 --> 0:10:55.136 and to have a job where you're going, that kind 0:10:55.136 --> 0:11:00.596 of stuff. And but, yeah, it would make different cities 0:11:00.596 --> 0:11:04.406 become kind of natural experiments around innovation and standard of 0:11:04.406 --> 0:11:07.726 living and stuff. I think it's really cool. I love 0:11:07.726 --> 0:11:09.946 the idea of the states being independent for this reason, 0:11:09.946 --> 0:11:14.356 but this is like one of biologies ideas here was 0:11:14.356 --> 0:11:18.466 that mayors are going to become more like CEOs. So 0:11:18.466 --> 0:11:20.146 they'll have a lot more control and a lot more 0:11:20.146 --> 0:11:23.806 innovation going on and that will increase the variance that 0:11:23.806 --> 0:11:27.016 you see inside of these different cities. So I think 0:11:27.016 --> 0:11:33.706 it's a really cool idea. Notes I Finished Our Mathematical 0:11:33.706 --> 0:11:37.696 Universe by Max Tegmark, and I really think about the 0:11:37.696 --> 0:11:42.736 greater existence of like universes, multiverses and stuff like that 0:11:42.736 --> 0:11:45.795 in a completely different way. So I highly recommend this 0:11:45.796 --> 0:11:49.785 book for anyone who likes Hawking, Sagan, Tyson or anything 0:11:49.786 --> 0:11:53.896 related to cosmology. It'll blow your mind, this book will. 0:11:56.026 --> 0:11:59.655 Currently rereading the Red Queen, which is the book of 0:11:59.656 --> 0:12:06.256 the month, and you should definitely come join us. As 0:12:06.256 --> 0:12:08.566 you may have noticed already, we launched our new logo 0:12:08.566 --> 0:12:12.586 as part of our ongoing site design update, and it's 0:12:12.586 --> 0:12:14.476 not just a new visual, has a lot of meaning 0:12:14.476 --> 0:12:17.086 built into that, which I talk about in the launch post, 0:12:17.716 --> 0:12:21.296 which I have linked to you in the newsletter. And 0:12:21.296 --> 0:12:25.405 the you bookclub speaking, that is absolutely thriving. We're talking 0:12:25.406 --> 0:12:28.136 about doing actually more meet ups, including a new midmonth 0:12:28.136 --> 0:12:30.836 meet up with a rotating topic. We're talking about talking 0:12:30.836 --> 0:12:36.236 about the future. We're talking about career conversations, exploring interesting 0:12:36.236 --> 0:12:39.146 questions and seeing what each of us thinks just kind 0:12:39.146 --> 0:12:42.866 of going around the table. And Tim, who's a big 0:12:42.866 --> 0:12:46.376 part of our community and also runs his own community 0:12:46.376 --> 0:12:50.156 in east Texas. He's already got a plan for how 0:12:50.156 --> 0:12:52.016 we can lay out like 12 of these going for 0:12:52.016 --> 0:12:54.776 a year out and basically have them all scheduled out 0:12:54.776 --> 0:12:58.935 and really cool sort of theme in concept to each one. 0:12:59.636 --> 0:13:04.836 So looking forward to that. We're also thinking about. Additional 0:13:04.986 --> 0:13:09.096 meet ups, actually in regular space and meatspace, actual physical 0:13:09.096 --> 0:13:12.336 meet ups, if that becomes a safe thing to do. 0:13:13.416 --> 0:13:15.936 And the first one we're thinking about is a dinner 0:13:15.936 --> 0:13:19.076 at Black at DEFCON next year, definitely not this year. 0:13:19.116 --> 0:13:22.956 I'm not going I don't know who is, but. I 0:13:22.956 --> 0:13:25.476 won't be there, but we're thinking for 20, 20 to 0:13:25.476 --> 0:13:28.776 a dinner and also maybe a weekend getaway in Big 0:13:28.776 --> 0:13:32.046 Sur where we bring family so we can actually go. 0:13:32.976 --> 0:13:35.316 So that would be like during the day you spend 0:13:35.316 --> 0:13:38.946 time with family or whatever, you know, family and kids 0:13:38.946 --> 0:13:42.846 and whatever you're doing to be able to get yourself 0:13:42.846 --> 0:13:46.116 out there to Big Sur. And then in the evenings, 0:13:46.446 --> 0:13:49.836 the other group would get together and we would have 0:13:49.836 --> 0:13:54.366 dinner or, I don't know, drinks, tea. I have no 0:13:54.366 --> 0:13:56.976 idea what would be available there. But we would just 0:13:56.976 --> 0:14:00.136 hang out in like a common area or outside, I 0:14:00.156 --> 0:14:03.036 don't know. Do star walks like all kinds of astronomy 0:14:03.036 --> 0:14:06.486 stuff we could do, but mostly conversation hanging out. Same 0:14:06.486 --> 0:14:08.866 way we do in the book clubs and other meet ups. 0:14:09.456 --> 0:14:14.006 So that's the idea. And yeah, our monthly meet up 0:14:14.336 --> 0:14:17.936 the book club itself has become a favorite event of 0:14:17.936 --> 0:14:20.426 the month for a number of our members and definitely 0:14:20.426 --> 0:14:23.816 me included. And it just turns out it's a lot 0:14:23.816 --> 0:14:26.306 of fun to talk about interesting topics with a bunch 0:14:26.306 --> 0:14:29.336 of smart and pleasant people. It's like the Internet. We 0:14:29.336 --> 0:14:35.006 were all promised, but so often never materialized. So few 0:14:35.006 --> 0:14:38.126 are not a member. You should consider signing up and 0:14:38.126 --> 0:14:45.756 coming to join us. Be a lot of fun. Discovery profiler, A.S. 0:14:45.766 --> 0:14:49.696 Tool for finding social network profiles, one thing that these 0:14:49.696 --> 0:14:53.086 tools are good for is looking up your own profile 0:14:53.086 --> 0:14:57.046 and making sure that you either delete these accounts or 0:14:57.076 --> 0:15:00.466 that you have them locked down properly. So if, you know, 0:15:00.466 --> 0:15:04.086 you probably have multiple usernames over your. The course of 0:15:04.086 --> 0:15:07.626 your IT career, but plug them into a tool like 0:15:07.626 --> 0:15:10.176 this and, you know, you might get like 55 hits, 0:15:10.176 --> 0:15:13.506 come back and be like, oh, I forgot that police existed. 0:15:13.686 --> 0:15:15.876 And maybe it has like the dumbest password ever, which 0:15:15.876 --> 0:15:18.606 is now in a million different leaks all over the place. 0:15:18.606 --> 0:15:21.036 And you could just use it as a tool to 0:15:21.036 --> 0:15:26.886 clean up after yourself. Whether Spark get a remarkably accurate 0:15:26.886 --> 0:15:30.006 visual and description of the weather in any city, I 0:15:30.006 --> 0:15:32.856 put the send for my home city and the city 0:15:32.856 --> 0:15:35.796 I'm hoping to move back to soon. And it was yeah, 0:15:35.796 --> 0:15:42.936 it was it was remarkably interesting, like really accurate. And 0:15:42.936 --> 0:15:44.476 a couple of other people I know have tried to 0:15:45.036 --> 0:15:50.116 get the same results. My friend Alejandro Hernandez at bioactive 0:15:50.116 --> 0:15:53.506 where I used to work, has released new research on 0:15:53.506 --> 0:15:57.256 how stock prices are affected by vulnerabilities and breaches, and 0:15:57.256 --> 0:16:01.986 he's presenting his findings at Blackheart Asia. So congrats to 0:16:01.986 --> 0:16:08.076 Alejandro on that. Gizzi release the world's smallest back door, really? 0:16:09.406 --> 0:16:13.966 Cool looking little back door here. Other new U.S. federal 0:16:13.966 --> 0:16:18.296 sea services, zero trust. And this one's crazy, it turns 0:16:18.296 --> 0:16:21.536 out we've all been using our trash bags incorrectly, so 0:16:21.536 --> 0:16:23.996 they're actually shipped to us inside out. So if you 0:16:23.996 --> 0:16:25.856 look at if you just take one out of the 0:16:25.856 --> 0:16:29.106 bag or the box. You'll see that the seam is 0:16:29.826 --> 0:16:33.186 like facing you. You think that, oh, that's how it's 0:16:33.186 --> 0:16:35.466 supposed to be. No, supposed to be that way. It's 0:16:35.466 --> 0:16:38.256 actually inside out. And the reason for that is you're 0:16:38.256 --> 0:16:43.256 supposed to just open it. Turn it upside down, so 0:16:43.256 --> 0:16:45.776 the opening is facing down and then put it over 0:16:45.776 --> 0:16:49.166 the outside of the trash can, then you just take 0:16:49.166 --> 0:16:50.816 the rest of the bag and stuff it down in 0:16:50.816 --> 0:16:54.266 the middle and now it's right side in. And you 0:16:54.266 --> 0:16:56.486 didn't actually have to do all the shenanigans to get 0:16:56.486 --> 0:16:58.316 it in there. So you put it on like a 0:16:58.316 --> 0:17:01.896 hat and then push it down through the middle. Who knew? 0:17:02.666 --> 0:17:04.255 I saw this one tick tock, I didn't want to 0:17:04.255 --> 0:17:06.626 link to tick tock, so I'm linking to a YouTube 0:17:06.626 --> 0:17:11.936 video describing. And the army has a new night vision 0:17:11.936 --> 0:17:15.475 goggles and the visuals on these things look completely awesome. 0:17:15.485 --> 0:17:18.296 So I was in the Army. I used to just 0:17:18.296 --> 0:17:21.235 love playing with these night vision goggles when I was 0:17:21.235 --> 0:17:27.076 on duty and. Yeah, these the old ones were like 0:17:27.076 --> 0:17:30.315 this really kind of washed out green looking, which you've 0:17:30.316 --> 0:17:33.136 probably seen in a million movies, and that's exactly how 0:17:33.136 --> 0:17:36.856 they looked. It wasn't much contrast, very little depth of field. 0:17:36.856 --> 0:17:39.766 Like there's a bunch of problems, these new ones. There's 0:17:39.766 --> 0:17:42.886 like a white outline around everything. It's like very some 0:17:42.916 --> 0:17:46.126 quite predator looking because Predator was actually worse than us. 0:17:46.576 --> 0:17:50.446 But it's actually has detail. It's a white it's a 0:17:50.446 --> 0:17:54.436 white visual instead of green. Which automatically seems to make 0:17:54.436 --> 0:17:58.036 the contrast better. It's just very cool looking, actually have 0:17:58.036 --> 0:18:00.725 a link to some of the video. In the show. 0:18:02.606 --> 0:18:05.996 Got a cool list here of significant cyber incidents, which 0:18:05.996 --> 0:18:07.916 I said on Twitter. I really wish this was a 0:18:07.916 --> 0:18:11.755 spreadsheet so someone can make that happen. That would be awesome. 0:18:12.955 --> 0:18:15.955 And got a link here to all cause mortality statistics 0:18:15.955 --> 0:18:20.246 for each US state. And evidently, it's mostly updated. There 0:18:20.276 --> 0:18:22.346 are a few stragglers states, I think they said North 0:18:22.346 --> 0:18:25.346 Carolina is kind of lagging on data, but it's mostly 0:18:25.556 --> 0:18:28.046 up to date and accurate. And it just shows a 0:18:28.046 --> 0:18:33.266 massive number of what is its deaths that don't have 0:18:33.266 --> 0:18:35.536 a reason. And I forgot there's a term for it. 0:18:35.546 --> 0:18:40.646 It's like unaccounted for or something. But ah, no cause 0:18:40.646 --> 0:18:43.106 is at no cost us anyway. It's in, it's in 0:18:43.106 --> 0:18:49.036 the report and. It's fascinating. I mean, there's so much 0:18:49.036 --> 0:18:53.386 additional numbers here, so I think what it really means 0:18:53.386 --> 0:18:56.176 is the COVA numbers are likely to go up significantly 0:18:56.566 --> 0:19:01.985 because they're just the proper attribution has been done. But 0:19:02.076 --> 0:19:07.065 definitely worth taking a look at that visual. Got another 0:19:07.066 --> 0:19:09.586 article here, welcome to the YOLO economy. This is from 0:19:09.586 --> 0:19:12.136 New York Times, pretty good essay and how to make 0:19:12.136 --> 0:19:15.306 your voice sounded more attractive and competent. This is a 0:19:15.316 --> 0:19:18.676 BBC article and they're saying could also be the reason 0:19:18.676 --> 0:19:22.005 for vocal fry, which is like what I try to 0:19:22.006 --> 0:19:23.715 do just there, which is where you slow down your 0:19:23.716 --> 0:19:28.876 voice and it drops very low. And evidently, it's supposed 0:19:28.876 --> 0:19:31.996 to signify competence in some sort of way. There's a 0:19:31.996 --> 0:19:38.045 pretty good article. Recommendations, if you like, thinking about the 0:19:38.046 --> 0:19:41.886 future across tech policy, government, etc., you really should listen 0:19:41.886 --> 0:19:46.265 to this conversation with biology that indicated above. It's on 0:19:46.266 --> 0:19:49.596 the Tim Ferris podcast, which I haven't been listening to 0:19:49.596 --> 0:19:52.656 Tim Ferriss much, honestly. But I do listen when I 0:19:53.106 --> 0:19:55.776 hear a cool topic or a cool guest and this one, 0:19:56.556 --> 0:19:59.316 it blew me away. It is almost four hours, so 0:19:59.316 --> 0:20:02.276 I will warn you about that. I listened to 2x 0:20:02.316 --> 0:20:06.546 on YouTube. So was it four hours for me? But 0:20:06.816 --> 0:20:08.496 I took a lot of notes. I actually wrote that 0:20:08.496 --> 0:20:10.626 whole post, which is the summary of it, trying to 0:20:10.626 --> 0:20:13.535 capture all the ideas. But I'm telling you, if you 0:20:13.536 --> 0:20:15.725 think about the future, if you like the future stuff 0:20:15.726 --> 0:20:18.236 that I talk about, you should listen to this guy. 0:20:18.246 --> 0:20:23.706 He's an investor. Andreessen Horowitz, like, really cool guy, happens 0:20:23.705 --> 0:20:27.066 to have a PhD from Stanford, which he never mentions, 0:20:27.726 --> 0:20:31.416 just a really smart guy and has some really interesting 0:20:31.596 --> 0:20:35.046 ideas about where the future is going, especially as it 0:20:35.046 --> 0:20:37.535 relates to crypto. That's kind of his thing about crypto. 0:20:38.166 --> 0:20:44.356 So biology. Definitely recommend that you follow this guy and 0:20:44.596 --> 0:20:48.226 start by listening to this episode on the team first podcast. 0:20:50.256 --> 0:20:55.116 And the aphorism for the week. Everyone you meet is 0:20:55.116 --> 0:21:00.096 fighting a battle you know nothing about, be kind always. 0:21:01.746 --> 0:21:04.235 Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing 0:21:04.236 --> 0:21:08.106 about the kind always.
