Youtube daily Jul 26 2018

The new smart displays with Google Assistant are here and this is the first

one. It's the Lenovo Smart Display. It's a Google home with a screen sure

but it's something much more interesting than that. It's basically a brand new

operating system so here's a question. What will Google do now that it has this

brand new clean slate to work with so what you're looking at here is the

10-inch Lenovo Smart Display. It's $249 and it has a really nice design. It's got

this bamboo on the back and a sort of a wedge shape. It looks way better than the

Amazon Echo Show. You can also get $199 version that's 8 inches but it has a

really boring grey plastic back. Honestly though I'd be happy to have this on my

kitchen counter especially if it were standing up like this because it has

little feet to do that but yeah you can see the software is not designed to work

with it yet. Google hasn't finished that. The only thing that works in portrait

mode is duo video calls. Anyway let's suss out the rest of the

hardware here. My favorite feature surprisingly is this little tiny switch

right here which covers up the 5 megapixel camera. Now, people can't drop

in on you like they can on the Echo Show but being able to cover up the camera

means I'm much more likely to put this thing in my bedroom or my bathroom. I

keep the Google Home in my bathroom and it's great so come at me. Anyway the

speaker is it's fine it's a 10 watt speaker with two passive tweeters and if

you're hoping that this relatively big size means relatively big bass, well

sorry. It sounds about the same as any other basic smart speaker. It's nowhere

near as good as a Sonos One or an Apple HomePod. A smart display can do

everything that a Google Home or a Google Home Mini can do but the really

important thing here is obviously the screen. This thing runs on all-new

software called Android Things which is technically based on Android but this is

completely different. Now the core UI is still your voice but you can do stuff

with the screen and the main thing you need to know there is swiping in from

the left edge serves as a back button. It takes you home, then to your

photos and then ultimately to the ambient

display. Now when you're on the home screen you can tap on the weather look

at that and then there's a bunch of cards that basically serve to show you

what you could do and what you can ask and you'll notice one of these cards is

my personal calendar. It does show personal information on this screen.

Luckily when you set it up with your phone one of the little options on there

tells you that if you don't want your personal information visible to

everybody in your house you can just leave that off. So one of the things that

Google Home can do that's great is it can recognize your voice and set

reminders or show you your specific calendar stuff but it has to recognize

your voice for it to do that and that doesn't always work here so if I were to just

speak weirdly. "Hey Google remind me to buy cheese on the way home." "I

couldn't verify your voice so I can't send any reminders." "Hey Google what's

next on my calendar." "Your next event is called dinner, it's today at 6:30 p.m.

located in Rosa Mexicano." "Hey Google video call Felicia." "Making a video call

to Felicia Shivakumar." "Hey how's it going?" "Hey Google show me pictures of Vjeran Pavic."

"Showing your photos." There he is! What a guy. One of the big things to know

about this platform is there's no apps per se. There are some third-party

integrations so for example here's Spotify and there are a handful of other apps

that can have stuff displayed on this screen but there's no app store and the

touch UI here is pretty basic. It's pretty basic but it's also pretty pretty

In terms of how software design can look this is the clearest example of where I

think Google is going since they didn't have to deal with any of the legacy

crafts like they did on Android or Chrome, Google is free to just make what

it wanted to make and so what you end up with is fairly fluid animations, really

nice fonts, good drop shadows. It just looks great if you ask it a how-to

question you might get a YouTube video instead of just like a web link so "Hey

Google how do I darn a sock" "Okay playing how-to darn sucks on YouTube." Now I'm a

YouTube TV subscriber which means that I can just use this

thing as a television by saying something like "Hey Google watch CNN."

"Alright here's CNN on YouTube TV." And as soon as this plays I'm just watching

live television. It also works with HBO Now if you ask for a specific show. What

it doesn't have is Netflix or Hulu which is kind of a huge bummer but as long as

you have a phone that has a cast button like this Android phone you can still

cast stuff to it. You put it all together and this thing makes a really great

kitchen TV but it only comes into its own if you're fully bought into the

Google ecosystem. So for example I'm a Google Photos user and having Google

photos in my kitchen on the display is really really nice. It also makes video

calls with Google Duo which is also really good but not that many people use

it. Basically I see this thing as a really good Google appliance which is I

don't know fitting because it goes in your kitchen with other appliances. Oh

hey one more thing it also makes regular old phone calls which is kind of a neat

feature. Now my favorite feature of this thing might be recipes. If you start a

recipe it shows each step one by one and it doesn't move to the next step until you

ask for it and it stays on the screen. It's really great and I hope that

someday Google allows us to put our own personal recipes on the thing cause

right now it just pulls some recipes from the web. Actually that's a lie my very

favorite feature, this is super dumb but my very favorite feature is still timers

because on this thing the timers stay on the screen the whole time. You can even

set multiple timers and they all stay on the screen. It's not how the Echo Show does

it, it's not how the HomePod does it. It's the most basic thing and Google

actually got it right. Everything here is pretty simple it's clean and it's fast.

If you aren't put off by the price having a screen on a smart speaker is

definitely better than not having one. If you're already bought into an Amazon

Echo ecosystem should you switch to this thing? Nah probably not but if you're

using Google assistant I think this thing is great. It's my favorite smart

speaker with a display by a long mile even though I still hate hate saying a

"Hey Google" compared to just saying Alexa. More important to me I hope that Google

expands this platform to work with more third-party software fairly soon. Maybe

the most fascinating part of this smart display is that just by adding a screen

to the Google Assistant they've completely changed how the Google

Assistant answers questions. So if you ask it how to do something you might get

a YouTube video. If you ask it for photos you might get your photos instead of

something from the web. If you ask it for a recipe you'll get a web page

completely remade and step-by-step instructions for you. It's the

culmination of everything Google has been trying to do with search. Making it

give you answers instead of just sending you to webpages. So what happens when

Google actually does have a clean slate to work with. Turns out it makes a

really great Google appliance. Hey everybody thanks so much for watching

and I don't know if you've noticed but we're at a whole different space here.

We're gonna build out a set, we've got this cool graphic behind us and also you

should check out Vox.com's video on road diets. I've been really into smart

scooters lately and a road diet is a really good way to make roads safe for those

scooters so take a look at it.

Lyudmila Rudenko Google Doodle - Duration: 1:22.

The Search Engine Google is showing this doodle in many Countries for the Lyudmila Rudenko's

114th Birthday.

Lyudmila Rudenko was a Soviet chess player and the second women's world chess champion,

from 1950 until 1953.

She was the first woman awarded the International Master title.

Born in Lubny, in Ukraine, then part of the Russian Empire, Lyudmila Rudenko was taught

by her father how to play chess at age 10, although at first she was more serious about

swimming.

After grammar school, she moved to Odessa and took a degree in economics.

Rudenko became the swimming champion of Odessa in the 400 m breaststroke.

Her professional career would be as an economic planner for the Soviet Union, and chess would

remain a hobby.

Rudenko began playing tournament chess in 1925 after a move to Moscow.

In 1928, she won the Moscow women's championship.

She would not reach the peak of international women's chess until she was about 40 years

old.

In World War II, Rudenko organized a train to evacuate children from the Siege of Leningrad.

Monsanto Hit With Major Lawsuit For Contaminating America With Poisonous Chemical - Duration: 6:48.

The first major lawsuit against Monsanto over the safety of their blockbuster weedkiller,

Roundup, is currently underway.

So far, the science being presented by the plaintiff is looking really, really bad for

Monsanto.

But we've known about this science for decades, yet the company has been engaged in one of

the largest coverups imaginable to downplay the scientific reporting that told us that

Roundup and the main ingredient was highly toxic.

Joining me to talk about Monsanto's legal problem and other legal issues of the week

is Farron Cousins, executive editor of Trial Lawyer magazine.

Farron, as you know, I took the first three depositions on liability for this company

that were actually taken.

I took those about two months ago.

Our trials start against Monsanto in the summer.

We have 16 consolidated cases that we're going to try.

But this case is being tried now.

Some very capable lawyers.

I think what happens sometimes is people judge the first case and they say, "Well, this is

going to determine the future of the project."

That's not really the case.

As a matter of fact, interestingly enough, I handled the asbestos litigation, the first

12 asbestos cases that were tried throughout the country before I actually started, they

were 12 losses.

Then all of a sudden, not because of me but because of some good lawyering, all of a sudden,

people started winning cases all over the country.

Then that solved the asbestos crisis here in America.

What is your take on this case?

I know the case so well because I've taken the depos.

What is your take as you stand looking on the outside of this, what's happening?

Well, to start, I think a lot of the legal analysts out there are trying to use the most

recent history, forgetting everything about the past, and they're saying, "Well, if this

goes the way that the Johnson & Johnson talcum powder cases go, after that first loss for

J&J, it was just downhill from there for the company."

Yeah.

Exactly.

They think that they can translate that to Monsanto, but everything is different.

But so far, we're a week and a half into this trial, I'm liking what I'm seeing the lawyers

do here because they're not only focusing on here's science one, science two.

They're out there, they came out of the gate, showing that this was a coverup.

Monsanto engaged in potentially illegal behavior, depending on how you want to look at it.

But they engaged in a decade's long covered up, hired toxicologists who when they finally

said something they didn't like or came to a conclusion Monsanto didn't like, fired the

person, buried their science-

Right.

... and instead went with pseudo science.

Well, let me say, I know these lawyers.

These are very good lawyers.

The first case is always interesting because a lot of it depends on the judge.

If the judge has talent, and votes aren't in yet, if the judge has talent and is able

to work through really complex issues, then both sides have ... they've got an equal chance.

I don't know much about this judge right now.

We're going to know probably in about another week as we watch her rulings.

But I do know this.

I do know that the science is so bad for Monsanto here.

It's this bad.

As a matter of fact, when I was taking these first three depositions, what we found in

the deposition was that the top toxicologist in the company, the woman who knew everything

about the dangers of this product, she knew about the risk of cancer, the risk of non-Hodgkin

lymphoma, she knew about neurological risk, she knew about birth defects risk, she knew

all of this.

She wrote in a memo to everybody who would read it, "Do not under any circumstances tell

the public that this won't cause cancer."

Of course, for decades, that's what the sales teams have been telling.

"Don't worry about it.

It won't cause cancer."

Then the World Health Organization comes out a couple of years ago and says, "Absolutely

it will cause cancer."

Pick up from there.

That immediately launched this massive I guess media campaign by Monsanto and the representatives

and the people that they were paying to go out there and say, "No, IARC is wrong.

They're a political organization.

This is a political hit job," is what they tried to tell us, as if Monsanto and Roundup

was some kind of partisan issue.

Right.

This is people's health, so they launched this massive disinformation campaign that

included going online, finding anybody, which I found out included myself, who would write

something negative about Monsanto, attacking them online, on Twitter, on Facebook.

I was getting messages from people who I realized, "Well, let me know who this person is."

Able to track them back to Monsanto.

Well, yeah.

Monsanto had a whole scheme.

Monsanto had one of the most extensive ... and still do, by the way.

Yeah.

One of the most extensive troll systems in the country.

They would identify where Monsanto's being criticized for anything.

Then the first thing they would do if it's the media, if it's corporate media, forget

it.

Corporate media can't tell the story because corporate media gets so much money.

Look, there's a Roundup add every 15 minutes, so they're making a ton of money.

Actually, I got to tell you something.

In the actual documents that we reviewed, they understood that the way that they were

going to keep this quiet is to pay a lot of money to corporate media.

Give corporate media a lot of money, pay for a lot of advertising.

The other thing that they were going to do is they were going to get control of politics.

What they did was they would take their people, they would move it from Monsanto to the top

of EPA, from Monsanto to whatever regulatory agency was a problem for them, they would

flood that regulatory agency, call in political favors.

You know who did the most political favors for them?

Take a guess.

I'm guessing it's probably going to be Obama.

No.

Bill Clinton.

Really?

Obama was next.

In that pecking order, it was Bill Clinton, because his wife was ... Hillary worked for

the Rose Law Firm down in Arkansas.

Their contact on the GMO, if you follow the GMO part of this, where the risk for GMO,

Farron, is this.

It's interesting.

The risk on GMO is not so much the DNA issue.

It's the fact that these seeds are soaked with Roundup pesticide.

Of course, the Roundup pesticide stays inside of your body.

It doesn't biodegrade overnight.

It stays there.

As a matter of fact, they do urine tests for people all over the country.

They found Roundup glyphosate in their urine even if they've never worked around a farm.

We're finding it in children for the formula in their bottles.

We found glyphosate.

Cheerios, beer, wine, everything.

Monsanto controls the seeds, they control the herbicides, they control our food.

Granny's Bedtime Meditation #2 - No Worry - Duration: 5:33.

Hello InnerTubers,

How 'bout another Bedtime Meditation?

A lot of you have written to me and telling me that you really really enjoyed #1 where I help

you get organized to get a good night's sleep.

You have to stretch.

You have to breathe.

You have to let your mind go free, and a noise machine really helps, or a fan, something

like that.

Little bit of routine.

Wash your face.

All that good stuff.

Hey guys, early on, if you're one of my regular fans, I wanna say thank you so much.

You guys are fucking amazing and I love that you love my stuff.

And if you're someone who's brand new to my shit,

well, I hope you come back over and over and over.

Anyway, let's get to it, okay?

First, let's breathe.

[inhales] then [exhales].

Every time, it starts with a big deep breath.

Good shit in, whoooo, bad shit out.

Yeah.

That's how we wanna do it.

Some of you told me that it's really tough to go to sleep when there's a lot of shit

on your mind.

Well, we can't have that.

Fuck no.

We can't have that at all.

So, I'm gonna give you a few little tricks to put worry to bed before you go to bed.

All right?

What I have here is just some sort of random list about shit that might be on your mind.

Oh, it would be kids, or it would be the bills, or it would be school, or some fucked up neighbor,

or your job, maybe somebody's giving you shit at your job.

Or, you know, health.

It could be a number of things on your mind.

This is just a random list.

Don't have to be yours.

Next thing I want you to do is rip that shit up.

Rip it.

Rip it.

Rip it.

Rip it.

So here they are, all ripped up.

We're gonna put this shit to bed.

I've got a little trick for you.

You can find a little box.

You can find a little baggie.

You can find something . . . but I've got my cute little unicorn.

Look, isn't he the cutest?

Oooooo.

And, right there, in the middle of his back, so I can put this shit in his back and it

won't be on my back.

Every one of those little pieces of worry?

Right in his back.

There we go.

See there?

Now, we'll zip that shit up.

That's it.

It stays there until I wanna get it out.

And right now, it's time to sleep, and the worry can go to sleep.

Over there you go.

Nighty night.

Mwah.

Sweet dreams.

Ya see, the thing about worry is you can't do anything about it while you're sleeping.

And, if you let it interrupt your sleep, well, then you won't have the energy you need to

deal with the shit.

So, yeah, put that fucker to bed.

Every one of them.

Whatever is on your mind.

I know that might seem like just a bunch of psychobabble heebie jeebie whatever the fuck,

but, you know, it really does work to visualize it like that.

I know, it seems kinda 3rd grade, but, just . . . just go with me, okay?

Just go with me.

Whether you you have a unicorn purse, or just a little bag, or a fuckin' trash can,

I don't care.

Write them down.

Rip them up.

Throw them away.

To take care of them tomorrow, or another day, or whenever you get to it.

But, right now, they need to go to bed so that you can go to bed and get some good rest.

That's really about all I have for you kids.

A really foolproof strategy for putting your worry to bed before you go to bed so that

you can get some good rest.

Remember to breathe.

Remember to stretch: start with your toes, then your knees, and your hips, and your

back, and your shoulders, and your neck.

Ohhhhh.

Make sure that you relax yourself.

Yeah.

That's what I want you to do.

And I want you to get some good rest.

So that you can tackle that shit when it's time.

InnerTubers, it's not quite as easy as I just made out in a 3-minute video, but it will help.

And, just try it . . . try it and see what you think.

I'd love to know if it works for you.

I'd love to know how this video makes you feel.

Let me know if it makes you feel more calm.

If it makes you feel more in control.

If it helps you get a good night's sleep.

All righty?

Bedtime is your time for sleep and for rest.

Worry is not allowed.

And, listen, just in case some other fucker asks you to take on their worry, oh fuck no.

Oh absolutely fuck no.

You have enough of your own, dear.

Now listen, there's always a commercial at the end of every video.

I've got a cookbook coming out.

There's details down in the description.

And I need you to follow.

And I need you to subscribe.

And I need you to share my shit with everybody.

Yeah.

Because, I love you.

And I wouldn't do this if I didn't love you and you didn't love me back.

So, hey, everybody, little Mr. Unicorn and I wanna wish you a good night's sleep.

[blows kiss] Nighty night.

Who's in charge here?

Fuck yeah, it's you!

No worries.

Stephen Jenkinson: Elderhood In Our Time Of Trouble - Duration: 9:50.

LBW: So of course you're making the case for why we need elderhood in this time of

trouble and if we don't have elders to look towards if we don't have anything

to like you mentioned the the Italian woman you know food makes you hungry

without food you wouldn't feel the hunger for it if I don't have an

elder to look towards if we as a culture as a people are bereft of elderhood

and people are again asking to be recognized as elders without actually

being elders I'm not I think it's again a naive thing to ask for a solution

because that isn't what you're going to provide and you're not here to provide a

solution but how do you sense this is gonna play out I mean I on this

podcast in particular I discuss a lot of environmental issues I discuss what's

happening with our climate system with the ecological systems of our planet and

how we are in a time of massive unprecedented catastrophic change and

and elderhood if anything would represent the time in the place that we

are in right now and so what is elderhood sorry sorry

STEPHEN JENKINSON: The plight of elderhood

is one of the human echoes of the ecological dilemma you

just articulate yes

LBW: Yeah so what would elderhood look like

feel like be like in this time that we are in

STEPHEN JENKINSON: Very very good you see that's a

that's a very achieved question now rather than to ask about elderhood in

some kind of abstract universal constant your question actually tips towards the

answer that means your question includes the acknowledgement that the there are

something particular about this time that might have consequence for elderhood

that is not entirely catastrophic exactly so you know you credited me with

having no answers and let me let me see if I can be you know make you doubt that

ever so slightly so oh here we go now if elderhood is an identity and

swept up with all the other identity clamor of our time then what you'd go

about doing is looking for people with that quote personality type or that kind

of wrinkle or maybe there's an elder hood MMPI you familiar with the phrase

LBW: Oh no I'm not

STEPHEN JENKINSON: A psychological testing apparatus whereby we can tease out you

know elder tending personality types things like this and then you can

identify the particular kind of elder you're looking for and dial that in etc

and before you know it instead of speed dating you got speed eldering maybe on

the internet and you just you know you just tell them what you're interested in

as far as being mentored and lo and behold you know ten older people pop up

and you get to choose I mean I wouldn't be the least surprised that that would

come and somebody's gonna work on as soon as they've heard me suggested I'm

sure so another sign of the end times you see

yes but but I'm gonna offer you an alternative to that and I'm gonna

suggest to you that elderhood is not a figment of personality it's not an

aspect of identity it has nothing to do with the particular qualities of

individuals yikes well where else does it live and

the answer is elderhood is first foremost and will always be a cultural

function and in that understanding an elder is a culture worker and as such

not inherently inevitably or mandatorily an old person having said that I'll

acknowledge something that it would appear to me to be a truism that while

all elders tend to be older not all older people are elders and so there's

something that works in that arrangement so if elderhood is not a personality

type what else could it be you've said it's something to do with culture but

but what precisely well the answer is the subtitle of my book is it's why I

called it the case for elderhood in a time of trouble I'm saying that I

believe that they that the particular wrinkles of elderhood are dictated by

the times in which the possible elders find themselves they were born to a

particular time and the particulars of those times dictate what elder hood must

be now you see so this means elders themselves must be on the steep learning

curve and they must be deep running students of their times and their

responsiveness to their times is what qualifies them so the word response

ability really works here you know it's not a sense of burden the way people

usually use the word the sense of responsibility means simply the capacity

to respond maybe to distinguish that from react maybe react we could use that

word to describe certain responses you have that attempt to satisfy you or assuage

you or reassure you whereas the capacity to respond might have nothing

to do with you trying to feel better about anything it might have to do with

your sense of a kind of moral political cultural spiritual obligation to to

fully inhabit the conditions of citizenship if you will but your

citizenry is not to a particular geopolitical identity your deep

citizenship is is a devotional one not an affiliation one and in in that sense

you know the work that you join yourself to is dictated by your times troubles

and that's what you're a citizen of you're a citizen of a troubled time not

Canada or the United States you know or any other you know freewheeling entity

today so if that's possible if that's possible then it means that elders are

not in the business of getting themselves recognized they're in the

business of recognizing so you could say in a time when elderhood has gone into

terrible abeyance which is certainly our time now then it becomes the eldering

responsibilities of elders to function at the level of recognizing

incipient elderhood in their midst and proceeding accordingly by acknowledging

it recognizing it corroborating it living as if it's true authorizing it

without ever trying to be included in it or to benefit directly from it you

follow what I'm saying okay it's a it's a radical reading of what it means to be

an elder and it's not a club you get to join it's the ending of all clubs in a

time like ours that no elder in a time like this

if I may sound programmatic about it no elder at a time like this

would ever call themselves an elder ever okay

why not because this is the responsibility of the people around them

to recognize elderhood in their midst to corroborate it and everything I just

said and if it doesn't happen it's because there's no elders to do so and

because the appetite for elderhood has gone missing in the way we talked

earlier about if kids are young people are not exposed to it then their

appetite for it begins to atrophy and they trade it in for self-reliance or

for a kind of principled anxiety that masquerades as having a conscience but

it's more at the level of just a chronic free-floating anxiety where you care

about everything but only enough to paralyze you or to animate you with

extraordinary levels of kind of sulfuric anger an incandescent rage that doesn't

know how to proceed this kind of thing which is a kind of narcissism frankly so

this is an awful lot to say in response to a short question but if you know at

the risk of sounding like I'm giving a a formula of how to pull this off I would

simply say in a time like ours now it might be the fundamental responsibility

of people who may yet come to inhabit the elder function that they

must do so minus acknowledgement minus recognition and the

way they do it is by corroborating the the presence of elders around them so a

very quick way of saying it and this gives away basically you hear this you

don't need to buy the book and I guess that but it would come down to this the

greater elderhood skill now is the skill of having of knowing how to have

elders in your midst it is not the skill of knowing how to be one
