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
