00:01:31 ◼ ► She loads a car she wheels the shopping cart to the back of her car because she had either done a poulterer backed in [TS]
00:01:40 ◼ ► and then ditches it goes to get in a car. This is one of my biggest pet peeves in the entire world. [TS]
00:01:54 ◼ ► and because it's a Taurus wagon it's about thousand feet long. So as she's going to get back in. [TS]
00:02:00 ◼ ► Or car I jumped out of Erin's car. I say don't worry I'll get that for you. Did you give her a thumbs down. [TS]
00:02:10 ◼ ► I didn't think about it I am so upset anyway so she says all you know synthetically happy thanks. [TS]
00:02:18 ◼ ► So as she's pulling out she gives me this obviously condescending wave of the hand [TS]
00:02:29 ◼ ► I mean admittedly it was mildly noxious of me to say don't worry I'll get that for you [TS]
00:02:34 ◼ ► but here it is this woman is so close to the front of the store that I think it took us less than thirty seconds to [TS]
00:02:42 ◼ ► and she did just her car the middle of the parking lot where it was going to hit somebody else's car it was only a [TS]

00:02:59 ◼ ► and I'll tell you why I'm going to kill you so you better redeem yourself quickly the reason why is because she has to [TS]
00:03:12 ◼ ► If I had to drive a Ford Taurus wagon every single day I would probably be that much of an asshole as well. [TS]
00:03:19 ◼ ► And I bet you would do. You know you do make an excellent point as much as I want to be embittered about it so. [TS]
00:03:31 ◼ ► or fuck you off because she could I called her out on the fact that she was being ridiculous and noxious. [TS]
00:03:38 ◼ ► So apparently that's enough to her to warrant the middle finger. Well that's that's their standard defensiveness. [TS]
00:03:46 ◼ ► If so if you are being unethical and somebody tells you that you are being unethical [TS]

00:04:13 ◼ ► Well you were both in that situation just she was the green arrival and that's probably fair. [TS]
00:04:24 ◼ ► I mean you did a snide response to someone's worst move so you are and your hands are not clean there. [TS]

00:04:52 ◼ ► Oh you're you're lucky you're shopping centers even have the grassy knoll in New York we don't have space for those [TS]
00:04:57 ◼ ► and so they just park the shopping carts like in the middle of flat pavement where the [TS]

00:05:39 ◼ ► You know it's the same kind of thing it's like just a slight reckless disregard for the rest of society in a way that [TS]
00:05:46 ◼ ► makes you a bull in a subtle enough way that you might forget how much of an ethical you're being [TS]
00:05:56 ◼ ► We don't go into topics for if you don't jump to the events of the week before. So you knew that. [TS]
00:06:04 ◼ ► All right so let's let's follow up on some sexism talk the first item of all that actually not about those two three [TS]
00:06:11 ◼ ► or maybe if you will I shall remember anyway was not as active them someone named Michael wrote in to tell us I don't [TS]
00:06:27 ◼ ► I mean and think about that because the reassuring thing about eye watches or whatever [TS]
00:06:30 ◼ ► and not to say that Apple is making a watch or that they watch will be covered in fire [TS]
00:06:35 ◼ ► but it's worth considering that the sapphire plant they're building probably not for our entire i Phone screen so far [TS]
00:06:43 ◼ ► although maybe you know people are saying they've been making advances in sapphire that makes it more comfortable to [TS]
00:06:55 ◼ ► or Touch ID sensors may be for a tiny little screen on a tiny little wearable thing because that would also work for [TS]
00:07:06 ◼ ► Yeah there was a really good discussion on on the talk show this week with younger [TS]
00:07:10 ◼ ► and Craig Hockenberry about the potential of Apple making an i Watch or other wearable devices [TS]
00:07:19 ◼ ► and I think that this is this is very good feedback that yes it is a very good point that watches do used to do [TS]
00:07:28 ◼ ► and even if Apple is not making the watch if they're making some kind of small wearable anything with a display it [TS]
00:07:33 ◼ ► would make sense that might be you know the cover material so all these possibilities make a lot of sense [TS]
00:07:38 ◼ ► and are all I think probably more plausible than the idea of them doing the whole i Phone screen sapphire just because [TS]
00:07:46 ◼ ► you know not only as we discussed and only just that is that just a lot of sapphire they would need [TS]
00:07:51 ◼ ► but also you know they're using We know you know they're using it for Touch ID sensors and they need a lot of those [TS]
00:08:00 ◼ ► It makes sense in those things where the i Phone screen like there's not that I don't know do you think do you think [TS]
00:08:10 ◼ ► Well the things I was writing about was not that they would make the whole screen glass out of sapphire [TS]
00:08:15 ◼ ► but that you'd make a laminate where they have a super thin layer of sapphire over it for a scratch resistance [TS]
00:08:20 ◼ ► but then underneath that essentially gorilla glass type of stuff so you try to get the benefits of all them really hard [TS]
00:08:25 ◼ ► like you know on a knife edge or you got a really hard towards the sort of the blade edge [TS]
00:08:33 ◼ ► and people investigating manufactories go down the road I can imagine some kind of sandwich like that give you the best [TS]
00:08:39 ◼ ► of all the materials like a flexible Center with a very very hard surface that makes sense for for a phone [TS]
00:08:46 ◼ ► or something where you don't want the screen to be scratched at the hardest materially possible. [TS]
00:08:52 ◼ ► but are we really scratching the screens on our phones because the damage I see is shattering because of impact not [TS]
00:08:58 ◼ ► Well that I see a lot of scratched i Phones I may think of people who take their i Phones without a case [TS]
00:09:03 ◼ ► and put it in like their purse but there Keith people do that and they get scratched up. [TS]
00:09:07 ◼ ► Do I Maybe I've just never seen them but I see two lines in tons of i Phones and Android phones [TS]
00:09:16 ◼ ► when you drop it I mean like that that's something obviously they would like that not to happen too [TS]
00:09:28 ◼ ► I just I don't know if if the scratch prevention is what we really need on the screen what we really need on the screen [TS]
00:09:38 ◼ ► and I'm not sure how to how you would get there they get out of plastic could there be gross. [TS]
00:09:43 ◼ ► Well you get there by having these tacky giant bouncy cases that a lot of people I can use for that exact reason there [TS]
00:09:54 ◼ ► but that actually helps you know if you want to protect this tiny little brick of glass in the trunk in the middle of [TS]
00:10:05 ◼ ► but so how do I put an apple wearable stuff way down like three topics down a topic section who knows who will get to [TS]
00:10:16 ◼ ► and the recent talk show so people say if you don't get to have an actual Let's move it up who cares about Facebook [TS]
00:10:28 ◼ ► But that's OK now doesn't lot that he sticks around and waits. He will wait for his turn. [TS]
00:10:41 ◼ ► Well first before I get to that a few items I put in in the fog section here how would you guys characterize the [TS]
00:10:49 ◼ ► I would say almost universally praise in the sense that people were very glad we spoke of it in in many cases people [TS]
00:10:56 ◼ ► were very pleased with the way you spoke of it especially and a lot myself into that category. [TS]
00:11:04 ◼ ► So I thought we did OK I thought I did OK I thought you did extremely well. Yeah I completely agree. [TS]
00:11:11 ◼ ► I think everyone loves John and made a lot of sense based on last week's episode and I [TS]
00:11:17 ◼ ► and the feedback was overall a very positive that people who are very happy that we talked about the problems of sexism [TS]
00:11:25 ◼ ► when we didn't talk even that much about it I mean it's it's a massive topic that you couldn't even fit in one entire [TS]
00:11:35 ◼ ► But I'm glad we talked I was very scared as it as I said during the show last week I was very scared to talk about it [TS]
00:11:42 ◼ ► because it's so it's so hard to talk about sexism without offending somebody on the side that you're fighting for. [TS]
00:11:52 ◼ ► Yeah yeah and that's why I pump the brakes real hard in the beginning and I'm really really glad [TS]
00:11:57 ◼ ► and thankful that it was mostly John basically. Tough No These we're going to talk about it and I'm glad that we did. [TS]
00:12:17 ◼ ► And if you had known that it wasn't the you know the minefield you thought it was going to be that you wouldn't have [TS]
00:12:22 ◼ ► been didn't. Yeah exactly right. I mean you know I I try to fight for social causes that I care about. [TS]
00:12:31 ◼ ► but it is so it just it's so I've been really scared off by the public discourse around sexism because it is it just [TS]
00:12:44 ◼ ► or reducing sexism then they get attacked for search for something they didn't include or accidentally a minute [TS]
00:12:50 ◼ ► It's really really just it seems like it's so cutthroat the discussion out there that I see so often at least in print [TS]
00:12:58 ◼ ► and on Twitter and stuff. It's so it's so like no one no one's given any leeway no one to give any slack. [TS]
00:13:10 ◼ ► and that's what frankly that's that's why I try to stay out of it because I'm so afraid of something blowing up in my [TS]
00:13:18 ◼ ► But I did it in not quite the right way or I forgot about some you know some condition or something. [TS]
00:13:27 ◼ ► I mean I'm thinking about like it's so hard to talk about it in a way that won't get you attacked as well from your [TS]
00:13:40 ◼ ► and you got a bunch of men saying no it's not like that that's one thing I don't care about that kind of attack [TS]
00:13:46 ◼ ► But but like if I'm if I'm trying to argue for the progress of this issue and for less sexism [TS]
00:13:53 ◼ ► and then I get attacked by and by sexism advocates that I didn't do it correctly like that's that. [TS]
00:14:00 ◼ ► Urges me from participating in the discussion at all. And it's very intimidating to even to even enter it. [TS]
00:14:13 ◼ ► and there was the typical people like you like Marco just mentioned who you know thought it wasn't a problem [TS]
00:14:22 ◼ ► So you know what I think we only got one actually that was like comically out like comically off base like it was there [TS]
00:14:28 ◼ ► was one there was there was the ridiculous of those other ones that you know have borderline I got a lot of private [TS]
00:14:37 ◼ ► or five private emails most of which were entirely negative so I get I mean it's not really it's kind of like the the [TS]
00:14:43 ◼ ► the jobs policy thing where he was the reason he explained why he was in blog as much as little good you know tons [TS]
00:14:48 ◼ ► and tons of positive feedback but all do is sit there and think about the bad ones you know [TS]
00:14:57 ◼ ► or to dwell on the positive things so anyway the the negative things were like people who took this opportunity to sort [TS]
00:15:04 ◼ ► of like a preemptive backlash took this opportunity to say I know people are going to listen to the show [TS]
00:15:08 ◼ ► and say nice things to you so let me preemptively tell you about all the times in the past where you have said [TS]
00:15:16 ◼ ► and so I got a laundry list of all sorts of things that I've done wrong from various people most of which by the way [TS]
00:15:21 ◼ ► were right which is why it's been you know it bothers me as much as it does this is like yeah you know I remember that [TS]
00:15:26 ◼ ► and in fact in in the particular show there were cases you know I mean I brought up on the Katie saying in a way [TS]
00:15:36 ◼ ► and it's like yeah that's that's part of what's difficult about this topic is like you said we're all we all do these [TS]
00:15:48 ◼ ► and so despite the best intentions you will find yourself doing things wrong and people will call you want [TS]
00:15:57 ◼ ► Them being nasty doesn't mean you didn't do something wrong just like Casey called. [TS]
00:16:00 ◼ ► That woman it was a time that the other call that woman on a not putting away her shopping cart in a nasty way she [TS]
00:16:06 ◼ ► still did something wrong and so like you just heard her defensiveness is like well I may have done something wrong [TS]
00:16:16 ◼ ► when I get these mean emails telling me about things that are wrong your instinct is to want to reply and say [TS]
00:16:24 ◼ ► but they're right you know so there was that that part of the experience like I expected it it came. [TS]
00:16:30 ◼ ► I'm fine with it it's just you know that's that's part of the whole deal you just have to learn how to properly deal [TS]
00:16:42 ◼ ► Look at it for the content and don't end condoning cage with the jerkiness I guess. [TS]
00:16:51 ◼ ► Overall Well you know we could I mean let me get through this to him he threw back items I think I have a better [TS]
00:16:59 ◼ ► The first one is barely about sexism to start out that way so already this is from Mike this just an excerpt from the [TS]
00:17:05 ◼ ► email I just want to light hearted they point out that earlier in the show you're talking about sending people [TS]
00:17:12 ◼ ► and then proceed to thoroughly discussed gender dynamics in technology. Forty minutes. [TS]
00:17:16 ◼ ► As someone who has an academic background that a lot of personal interest in styling gender issues [TS]
00:17:23 ◼ ► Many tech folks seem to think that seem to be so quick to put down the layman who speaks about technology issues for [TS]
00:17:29 ◼ ► lack of research or knowledge but they often feel completely informed about gender and race [TS]
00:17:32 ◼ ► and class issues that in their opinion is automatically well researched that their opinion is automatically Well [TS]
00:17:39 ◼ ► So the super of this one is us you know slamming whatever of Time magazine or the Times [TS]
00:17:45 ◼ ► or whatever sending some reporter to talk to Johnny Ive didn't seem to know what is talking about and then saying [TS]
00:17:50 ◼ ► and then we talked about a topic that this listener knew a lot about you know gender or whatever [TS]
00:18:00 ◼ ► Feel like they can talk about gender issues and it and I was talking about this too. [TS]
00:18:03 ◼ ► Two things that I object to in this feedback The first is the idea that we are objecting to someone who doesn't know a [TS]
00:18:14 ◼ ► Talking to someone in the technology sector Skype the Walter Isaacson thing where people would say well it's better for [TS]
00:18:19 ◼ ► someone who's not kind of steeped in technology to do this because it is supposed to bring the message to the masses we [TS]
00:18:25 ◼ ► want someone who isn't technically want someone who can you know relate to these people at the level of normal people [TS]
00:18:31 ◼ ► they don't just want to nerd going and that and the idea of sending someone who's not a knowledge or Apple [TS]
00:18:37 ◼ ► or tech stocks but the same thing where you don't have to be knowledgeable about this topic to report on [TS]
00:18:45 ◼ ► or an author is to during the course of doing this interview preparing for the interview preparing for the book [TS]
00:18:51 ◼ ► whatever you learn about the talent because the only way you can bring something to the masses is to first learn it [TS]
00:18:59 ◼ ► and then bring the understanding that you gained everyone else that's your job your job is not to just transcribe words [TS]
00:19:08 ◼ ► and then transcribe the answers your job is to learn something about a topic summarize what you've learned into [TS]
00:19:14 ◼ ► and you know get firsthand information from wherever it is you're talking to based on what you've learned then bring [TS]
00:19:18 ◼ ► that back to them so I don't mind of someone who doesn't know anything about a tech interview someone [TS]
00:19:23 ◼ ► and a good interviewer learns about the topic at hand before they do the interview. [TS]
00:19:28 ◼ ► That's it I mean you could say well maybe didn't have time maybe was last minute or whatever [TS]
00:19:31 ◼ ► and use all sorts of excuses you can make and that would be a shame as the case but as I said the last show. [TS]
00:19:36 ◼ ► Hard to believe that we can find somebody like oh we don't have time for the research. [TS]
00:19:40 ◼ ► Somebody already knows something about Apple can we find somebody anybody who's been following up at all. [TS]
00:19:47 ◼ ► So that's my first objection the second is this other sentiment that like people who are not just for this topic [TS]
00:19:56 ◼ ► Actually it's specifically with sexism if you're like a gender studies major or something. [TS]
00:20:00 ◼ ► Over all those people who wrote in to us or to me to tell me that we should be talking about the topic of Iran [TS]
00:20:06 ◼ ► or we're talking about that I think it is poison because everyone thinks that it's just like the same thing the market [TS]
00:20:12 ◼ ► was getting out of the fear like you don't talk about the top of your friends are going to say something wrong. [TS]
00:20:17 ◼ ► It's too high of a bar to require everyone who wants to discuss this topic to be like a Women's Studies major [TS]
00:20:23 ◼ ► or a history major or anything like that so you have a bar we all have to talk about this not to talk about it [TS]
00:20:29 ◼ ► and get things wrong and fumble and screw things up and occasionally yell at each other. [TS]
00:20:34 ◼ ► You can't be like well I shouldn't say anything about this is on the next where there's applies to anything any time we [TS]
00:20:38 ◼ ► talk about something where some lesser knows more about it than we do whether it be like speakers or cars [TS]
00:20:52 ◼ ► and good round to the point where you tell us we're not allowed to talk about that ever again because that I mean for [TS]
00:20:57 ◼ ► for an important issue like sexism that's terrible and for less important issues I think is just silly. [TS]
00:21:02 ◼ ► So sorry Mike I disagree with most of your feedback here I'm sorry major roll your eyes. [TS]
00:21:15 ◼ ► when there's a social issue like this where it's it's like it's an important like human rights and social issue. [TS]
00:21:22 ◼ ► I think not talking about it is generally more harmful then then you know talking about it [TS]
00:21:33 ◼ ► Not that not the same and you know what that's not to say that I that I have the guts to actually do it [TS]
00:21:39 ◼ ► but I think generally speaking I agree like we need like one of those common feedback themes that we got was thank you [TS]
00:21:51 ◼ ► for talking about this like we need more people with audiences to talk about this which is I guess the next feedback [TS]
00:21:58 ◼ ► which I want to get to that. You can read that when marketing is right up your alley right. [TS]
00:22:05 ◼ ► and it says Marco said several times that he didn't know how to better serve this issue I think the biggest thing he [TS]
00:22:12 ◼ ► can do is use his audience and look for voices to amplify whether it's simply retreating tech opinions by women [TS]
00:22:21 ◼ ► Neal I guess I'm missing that my favorite person and he'll dash and he'll try to similar experiment over the past year. [TS]
00:22:28 ◼ ► On the surface it sounds patronizing patronizing patronizing to deliberately seek this out [TS]
00:22:34 ◼ ► and conversations lurking under the surface that most men in tech aren't aware of the you know the thing he's talking [TS]
00:22:39 ◼ ► about than any other that you think I follow until this day is your best friend may talk about. [TS]
00:22:44 ◼ ► Yeah no I actually knew when there's a convenient link in the show notes that you didn't do [TS]
00:22:51 ◼ ► But but what what I had apparently done was exclusively re tweeted only when I'm in for what was it a years out right. [TS]
00:23:01 ◼ ► OK so he had only retreated one in for a whole year now I don't follow and you know I never have. [TS]
00:23:06 ◼ ► But apparently according to him it didn't really change his own personal workflow isn't the right word [TS]
00:23:22 ◼ ► It was I did read this medium post which I believe he had written and will put in show notes [TS]
00:23:27 ◼ ► but it came from what I thought was a good place which is you know let me try to make my own follow a list of my own [TS]
00:23:42 ◼ ► and I understand rich coming from I don't know that forcing yourself to only retreat women for a year is necessarily [TS]
00:23:53 ◼ ► It's easy to make a political statement on Twitter by changing your by favoring something or. [TS]
00:24:00 ◼ ► Changing your avatar or retrieving something those are all easy things. And the value in this. [TS]
00:24:07 ◼ ► I don't mean to cut O'Neal here I think the value is commensurate with the effort in this case you know if you want to [TS]
00:24:18 ◼ ► Choosing who you read tweet on Twitter is not a way to do it it's a way to do a small difference possibly a very small [TS]
00:24:24 ◼ ► difference but I think making a meaningful difference of course putting yourself out there a little more than that [TS]
00:24:34 ◼ ► and so I don't I don't really put a lot of weight on things like you know putting a star on your avatar changing it to [TS]
00:24:43 ◼ ► or stuff like that like you know on my petitions favoring a certain tweet a million times like that just doesn't those [TS]
00:24:52 ◼ ► But well what any of that I think was interesting because it ties into what the feedback is of as we were we weren't [TS]
00:24:58 ◼ ► sure we could do in the fact that we have an audience like talking about and nobody has something we can do [TS]
00:25:02 ◼ ► and what he did I'm assuming as a lot of followers look I'm selling is way more than than I do [TS]
00:25:09 ◼ ► He said he had I think about a half million because I guess early on in Twitter I was a recommended user list. [TS]
00:25:20 ◼ ► and they would see this recommended users so I'm sure I'll follow that guy in by his own admission he said he got a [TS]
00:25:26 ◼ ► zillion followers and he was like you know many of the half million followers he had from that. [TS]
00:25:32 ◼ ► Yes So that like what are you doing basically using his Twitter fame as a force multiplier [TS]
00:25:37 ◼ ► and the like what can one person the world the few of us who happen to have you know for four [TS]

00:35:23 ◼ ► Get a bunch of people who follow you to raise the money for a cause that you care about it's not a big thing [TS]
00:35:31 ◼ ► and it's something that wouldn't happen if it's like oh if I got to go door to door knocking on people's doors asking [TS]
00:35:35 ◼ ► or whatever Twitter like brings together sort of like minded people who might be inclined to do these types of things [TS]
00:36:06 ◼ ► but I think people are mostly I want to I think I want to touch on for now is we didn't talk about the last show [TS]
00:36:11 ◼ ► but things the things that help with empathy and I was thinking of the surprise didn't come up [TS]
00:36:26 ◼ ► or as a weapon more likely the idea that you don't understand this topic because you're a man [TS]
00:36:35 ◼ ► and you know you know only women understand it or are used to not understand a topic but then I had a daughter [TS]
00:36:43 ◼ ► and now you know if you don't have a door you can understand with this like oh just wait until you have a daughter [TS]
00:36:47 ◼ ► and you'll understand the daughter one of the one that gets me because I can't control my gender [TS]
00:36:50 ◼ ► but people could conceivably not have a daughter at one point and then have a daughter at another point in life [TS]
00:36:55 ◼ ► and I never like calling people out to say your ability to empathize with this is stopped by the fact that you don't [TS]
00:37:06 ◼ ► have a daughter. I agree that having a daughter definitely helps can help because they give you. [TS]
00:37:17 ◼ ► but intellectually I don't like the idea that it's impossible for someone to understand the issue until they have it [TS]
00:37:25 ◼ ► And it has helped me identify with a few more but I don't think from the notes here as it is neither necessary [TS]
00:37:32 ◼ ► nor sufficient to have a daughter to understand this you know because plenty of people have daughters [TS]
00:37:41 ◼ ► and some people like what I'm saying is that you shouldn't have to be pre-qualified by something to say that you can. [TS]
00:37:48 ◼ ► Your ability to empathize with this issue is not dependent on you having sisters or daughters or being a woman [TS]
00:37:55 ◼ ► or I think everyone else can do it. Those things may help. But I just don't like the exclusion like I just bothers me. [TS]
00:38:03 ◼ ► Even if like even if in general it may be true that white people don't get until they have a daughter I don't like [TS]
00:38:12 ◼ ► Well you can understand this because you're a man don't even have a daughter or a sister or whatever. [TS]
00:38:20 ◼ ► Yeah the other ones I think we probably don't have time for today but there's more [TS]
00:38:24 ◼ ► and more bits now I don't delete them often and we can touch on them on another show. [TS]
00:38:28 ◼ ► Really quickly I do want to also add that I think part of the problem here I mean obviously I'm American [TS]
00:38:34 ◼ ► and I take the very U.S. Centric view because simply that's where I am and what I know most about. [TS]
00:38:44 ◼ ► but the majority the dominant culture in America is to hold on very tightly to the past [TS]
00:38:52 ◼ ► and the way we've always done things and the way we've always done things is is like the Bible. [TS]
00:39:02 ◼ ► and we are never going to listen anybody else or anything else suggest otherwise because we are the best U.S.A. U.S.A. [TS]
00:39:08 ◼ ► Brother Ira And the problem with that kind of viewpoint one of one of the many problems with that kind of viewpoint is [TS]
00:39:17 ◼ ► when some part of what you think is your culture that you've always had you must always have is challenged like [TS]
00:39:24 ◼ ► something that you do or think or say that is sexist or has some other social problem. [TS]
00:39:31 ◼ ► Your instinct if you're in this mindset is to hold on tightly and and tighten your grip even more [TS]
00:39:44 ◼ ► and you know it's hard to convince people that their that their history and their culture [TS]
00:40:00 ◼ ► It's like this for one of the challenges is you know as you said last episode things that we've that things that we've [TS]
00:40:12 ◼ ► These things have problems they are sexist they are discriminatory they are insulting they you know they have problems [TS]
00:40:19 ◼ ► but if we if we hold onto tightly to this is the way we've always done things this is who we are this is who I am [TS]
00:40:29 ◼ ► and this is a portable in America anyway across many many many different subjects little gun control in [TS]
00:40:35 ◼ ► and merit the legalization of marijuana and and I'm not trying to get political I'm not saying you know one way [TS]
00:40:49 ◼ ► but it's hard to have intelligent conversation about it for exactly the reasons that you said because those of us who [TS]
00:40:55 ◼ ► cling to the way things are today tend to just tighten their grip just like you said even more. [TS]
00:41:02 ◼ ► And it prevents an intelligent conversation and it quickly becomes an emotional conversation. [TS]
00:41:09 ◼ ► And that's a very quick with not been done. You may have a well than any kind of change like that. [TS]
00:41:15 ◼ ► And usually the way for people to die and the worst thing about it is like always way for people that I will be fine [TS]
00:41:20 ◼ ► but like they teach their children these progressive ideas too and like they propagate [TS]
00:41:25 ◼ ► and it's like so difficult to sort of stem that propagation you know like one of my the most effective means that I've [TS]
00:41:31 ◼ ► seen during my lifetime of fostering change in society has been the sort of ambient exposure to ideas not sharing them [TS]
00:41:44 ◼ ► but just kind of like a number not really bombarding But just like you're in contact with it all the time to sort of [TS]
00:41:52 ◼ ► Generation constantly seeing different kinds of people you know just like exposure to two to just different. [TS]
00:42:02 ◼ ► Not as like it's a message or an after school special but just like that is there. [TS]
00:42:05 ◼ ► And like you just expose them like willing grace and sit com stuff like that I'm out of you know some of those [TS]
00:42:12 ◼ ► but just just generally that exposure it makes it more difficult for the adult generation that is never going to learn [TS]
00:42:19 ◼ ► any better to pass on their regressive ideas to their children because their children are just sort of like soaking in [TS]
00:42:32 ◼ ► and that's the course where the parents hated me you know they want their kids to watch M.T.V. [TS]
00:42:38 ◼ ► and All you know all is a bit like that kind of that kind of thing it seems to me even more effective than [TS]
00:42:47 ◼ ► or trying to teach kids the right way because you know no one wants you to teach as it just like you just have to you [TS]
00:42:53 ◼ ► just have to be exposed us to be that's again us talking about it like this being out in the open even if it's in the [TS]
00:43:00 ◼ ► and blog comments like even that is just so much better than just not talking about it because kids will grow up just [TS]
00:43:11 ◼ ► and even if kids are like on on one side of the debate for most of their life they'll know that this debate exists [TS]
00:43:16 ◼ ► they'll know that there is another side and it will be in their mind maybe they'll come around eventually right. [TS]
00:43:26 ◼ ► or ridiculous it's like oh yeah that's been going on my whole life that's definitely a thing you know. [TS]
00:43:41 ◼ ► but I skip a lot of stuff I skipped even after they all kidding aside it is really really really good conversation. [TS]
00:43:48 ◼ ► And like I said before as much as I would as I pump the brakes in the beginning I'm glad we're having it [TS]
00:43:54 ◼ ► Well most of us how much goods I can't leave the pad feedback I'm glad we got feedback saying hey you know. [TS]
00:44:02 ◼ ► Oh that like I said it wasn't bad feedback makes me feel bad which is that right right Reverend you know like you know [TS]
00:44:08 ◼ ► it's no fun for people to point out all the places you've done bad things in the past [TS]
00:44:11 ◼ ► but like any time you talk about something someone's going to want to say oh yeah but you know whatever. [TS]
00:44:19 ◼ ► It's one of those Latin logical fallacies his name I can never remember and always have to look up in Wikipedia [TS]
00:44:29 ◼ ► Because you did something that's counter to what you're saying what you're saying is wrong. [TS]
00:44:34 ◼ ► So this is a valid fear is that if you have not lived your life in a hundred percent it says that with the position you [TS]
00:44:42 ◼ ► and I have not lived my life one hundred percent consistency but my position is not wrong because of that [TS]
00:44:48 ◼ ► and tell you that what you've done in the past is not lived up to the ideals you presented [TS]
00:44:51 ◼ ► and then you feel bad about it and we should feel about it but I do feel bad about it [TS]
00:45:04 ◼ ► Well the great thing is being with Latin there is no authoritative Princie Asia nobody actually knows how a letter was [TS]
00:45:13 ◼ ► and so this week Facebook bought Oculus which I didn't see coming out to say I follow this stuff closely [TS]
00:45:25 ◼ ► Did you know the company existed before the last show where we discussed the our stuff. Yes big jerk. [TS]
00:45:35 ◼ ► So yes so Oculus Oculus Rift is the devices are correct and I'm going to get my terminology wrong here [TS]
00:45:42 ◼ ► but they're making of the R headset and it's like a Virtual Boy but it actually works from what I gather [TS]
00:45:54 ◼ ► OK So there's a lot of different things in flight here a lot of different viewpoints. [TS]
00:46:03 ◼ ► One of them is hey I backed this thing on Kickstarter and I did that so they could stay independent [TS]
00:46:10 ◼ ► and now they're not independent so this sucks and O.P.'s I want my back or money back. [TS]
00:46:15 ◼ ► Does that make any sense to you to it all because it is not to me like well it makes sense in the in the regard that I [TS]
00:46:30 ◼ ► or service is bought then the people who who paid for it before the acquisition are mad like I paid for this so you'd [TS]
00:46:37 ◼ ► stay independent or I pay I paid for this so you wouldn't be bought to be adored and shut down [TS]
00:46:42 ◼ ► And so it's more that I think the difference is the Kickstarter the the message of history a sense of the need to maybe [TS]
00:46:53 ◼ ► but you know the message that it sends a feeling it gives people is a feeling of co-ownership it's the you're being a [TS]
00:47:06 ◼ ► In fact it's really a terrible deal for all those reasons in most cases however you know you support these things [TS]
00:47:15 ◼ ► and then you feel you feel some token of ownership even even if it's not direct financial hardship you feel like you [TS]
00:47:24 ◼ ► You feel like one one of the backers as they call it your back or even though you're more of a donor. [TS]
00:47:35 ◼ ► and I think it is you know it's carefully here I think the feeling is not academically correct of something you should [TS]
00:47:52 ◼ ► and feel that you know that's a that's a good way of phrasing it because I would've felt the same way for flash [TS]
00:48:00 ◼ ► That's not really fair because that's not wasn't a deal that wasn't the deal I made with Oculus. [TS]
00:48:05 ◼ ► But at Pixar is kind of weird in that if you pull back far enough and are sufficiently cynical as many people [TS]
00:48:19 ◼ ► To sort out a bunch of stuff with a new investing being done being distributed over huge group of nerds writers like we [TS]
00:48:27 ◼ ► don't want to we don't want to the angel investment where we just give enough to people of my of the ground we want to [TS]
00:48:35 ◼ ► and even England US is like well like I mean that's part of the music stars like it's not worth anyone's time to invest [TS]
00:48:41 ◼ ► in some dinky little thing and on going to care about that sometimes there are big things [TS]
00:48:53 ◼ ► An angel investor would want some of the some part of the company in exchange for their investment [TS]
00:48:57 ◼ ► but since each individual person gave five ten bucks we don't have to divide the company up [TS]
00:49:08 ◼ ► and that's kind of where people feel burned in that they first of all they do feel like they're investing which they're [TS]
00:49:13 ◼ ► not they're not investing the giving people money in exchange for usually like a product [TS]
00:49:23 ◼ ► but it's not an investment because you don't get any ownership over the thing over the profits over the company over [TS]
00:49:28 ◼ ► anything even if you did it would be a tiny little sliver but but you can zero you get nothing [TS]
00:49:32 ◼ ► and like hey we got all this money this is this case it was like two point five million [TS]
00:49:43 ◼ ► and all of them got ZERO equity so like from the companies are saying you know hey this is great. [TS]
00:49:49 ◼ ► and in exchange we don't have to do anything except make the thing because people just want this to be in the world [TS]
00:49:53 ◼ ► and that's the beauty and the curse of Kickstarter and what's in these people's heads when they're giving the money. [TS]
00:50:00 ◼ ► I was given the money so you could be an independent like Kickstarter said give us money so we can remain independent. [TS]
00:50:05 ◼ ► I mean like there's no promise about what's going to happen to the company in the future [TS]
00:50:09 ◼ ► but in their head they're like I'm giving you money so so you won't have to get bought up by some big company [TS]
00:50:15 ◼ ► when you're buying you're not buying equity you're not you're not buying the right to determine the future course of [TS]
00:50:28 ◼ ► and I'm assuming people got what they were promised for their Kickstarter thing but time moves on [TS]
00:50:33 ◼ ► and potentially Facebook comes and buys them and I guess these people could kind of feel burned. [TS]
00:50:39 ◼ ► But like I hope of the sour people in Pixar they don't like the idea of someone who's like I've got a year for a board [TS]
00:50:45 ◼ ► game and it's going to cost seven hundred dollars to manufacture ten copies of this board game for me [TS]
00:50:52 ◼ ► Everybody let's all chip pool our money together more get a copy of the school board game that I think sums up all the [TS]
00:51:02 ◼ ► but like in none of those scenarios should you expect anything past whatever it is you were promised as part of the [TS]
00:51:08 ◼ ► Kickstarter I think it's important to as a Kickstarter backer of things to be extremely skeptical as to what you're [TS]
00:51:17 ◼ ► and you know the promises that they make that you know it's all it all has like you know an eighty percent chance of [TS]
00:51:25 ◼ ► or whatever the number is like it's not a hundred percent like Certainly I've I've bought Kickstarter products that I [TS]
00:51:31 ◼ ► have never received that fizzled out that you know they made promises they didn't keep. [TS]
00:51:36 ◼ ► I bought products that did eventually arrive very very late or that arrived finally [TS]
00:51:46 ◼ ► or didn't work at all you know it's it's easy to get caught up in the mentality of helping these people out I'm really [TS]
00:51:55 ◼ ► going to be one of the you know founding backers or whatever like it's a good feeling. Before you do it. [TS]
00:52:04 ◼ ► when you haven't gotten the thing yet that you paid too much for like you wouldn't have paid two hundred dollars for it [TS]
00:52:14 ◼ ► But you pay two hundred dollars to back it usually really wanted it two years ago. [TS]
00:52:18 ◼ ► That's you know it's a different it's a different emotional scenario that you're in a different type of buying a [TS]
00:52:27 ◼ ► and rhetoric around it that I think I think distorts a lot of of these you know expectations and values [TS]
00:52:40 ◼ ► I think that the most sensible way to use Kickstarter is basically as a speculative pre-order with the assumption that [TS]
00:52:52 ◼ ► or you can do it as like I mean one of the things that I backed recently was some person who's trying to make a a website [TS]
00:53:06 ◼ ► Like it's not like there wasn't going to be public all the wrong doing by giving any money to this at all is trying to [TS]
00:53:12 ◼ ► make it so that this Web site exists because they got he's going to use the money to buy you know vintage hardware to [TS]
00:53:22 ◼ ► and I'm basically paying for the entire Internet to have access to this thing paying for him to do it you know is it's [TS]
00:53:28 ◼ ► not a job he's doing it is like a hobby project and he doesn't have a lot of money to spend on the hardware. [TS]

00:53:40 ◼ ► It's where it gets fuzzy is where you think you're like where you feel like you're part of something. [TS]
00:53:44 ◼ ► And like if you're part of something and it fizzled and you lose that doesn't ever ship people feel bad in one way [TS]
00:53:52 ◼ ► but it's almost like people feel worse if you're you know if you back the starter and the people. [TS]
00:54:02 ◼ ► You had no money and the company is in the hands of another company that you didn't like. [TS]
00:54:06 ◼ ► So it's like a triple whammy there. I bet these people feel worse than if the company went out of business. [TS]
00:54:12 ◼ ► It doesn't make any sense but because of human nature the like you had you thought you had a lot of you take it well [TS]
00:54:17 ◼ ► but you didn't I mean I don't think people really thought they had a lottery ticket just like the same people feel like [TS]

00:54:51 ◼ ► What I mean is Facebook is very clearly very similar to Google in that they're an advertising company without question. [TS]

00:55:09 ◼ ► but are we sure that we're going to see that they're going to ruin Arculus I mean what proof do we have that they're [TS]
00:55:18 ◼ ► I'm not entirely sure it matters that it was Facebook that bought it I think I mean there's only so many companies out [TS]
00:55:33 ◼ ► So you know it would have been that much different obviously like you know Google bought it. [TS]
00:55:37 ◼ ► I bet nerves at all the real happy about because nerds love their will for no reason. [TS]
00:55:43 ◼ ► If Microsoft bought it that would be kind of interesting because they're a big tech company they need some new stuff to [TS]
00:55:51 ◼ ► If Sony bought it Sony's developing a competing product if Sony bought it that would be I think met with Certainly some [TS]
00:56:00 ◼ ► but it would be a little bit more clear oh well that's more likely that the thing will actually come out and exist [TS]
00:56:05 ◼ ► and be for games but with Facebook buying it the big question is what the heck is face we're going to do with this. [TS]
00:56:15 ◼ ► and I mean your guess is as good as mine I think there's certainly a contingent within Facebook. [TS]
00:56:22 ◼ ► However paper got produced and shipped and Facebook Home whatever contingent made these products happen [TS]
00:56:29 ◼ ► and made them come out and got them out whether that includes you know the top or not. [TS]
00:56:39 ◼ ► and following great designers who post great photos and have really interesting lives [TS]
00:57:03 ◼ ► but maybe that's not their plan I mean Instagram as you said like Instagram has not been integrated into Facebook's [TS]
00:57:34 ◼ ► but why did we all kind of give Jeff Bezos Bezos whatever his name is a buy on the Washington Post like how does that [TS]

00:57:45 ◼ ► That was like one hundred fifty million though of the two billion and that's also fair. [TS]
00:57:53 ◼ ► and I do know Amazon didn't buy it by the Washington Post but nevertheless you know it's not. [TS]
00:58:00 ◼ ► Once core business it's not what Jeff Bezos is used to doing and everyone kind of scratch their heads [TS]
00:58:05 ◼ ► when he bought the post but it seems like nobody gave him up by me and I am sorry everyone gave him a bye [TS]
00:58:13 ◼ ► and nobody seemed to care whereas when it's a nerdy tech thing all of a sudden the Internet is furious. [TS]
00:58:21 ◼ ► but like I put a link in the short term Asus name is actual name Marcus person not just the guy who created Minecraft. [TS]

00:58:37 ◼ ► original Oculus Rift and he was looking forward to developing for it and he was very angry that Facebook bought them [TS]
00:58:45 ◼ ► and he lays out his reasons in a post a lot on the show notes the main reason I think that he's saying that a lot of [TS]
00:58:51 ◼ ► people write good articles his main audience prior to his acquisition was game developers like it was you know I guess [TS]
00:58:57 ◼ ► gamers to like you want to stick on the bases game developers were going to head that if you have no games to play on [TS]
00:59:02 ◼ ► it and you can just take an existing game and slap it in they're expected to work. [TS]
00:59:19 ◼ ► and I think rightly so that their objection is crystallized by this blog post here that Facebook is not a game tech [TS]
00:59:27 ◼ ► company there and it is not a game company and any time any thing having to do with gaming is only controlled [TS]
00:59:39 ◼ ► Gamers distrust it like it's part of the reason that there is this you know distrust in the gaming industry of Apple [TS]
00:59:47 ◼ ► despite the fact that tons of games sell really well and I wes Apple still seems not particularly [TS]
00:59:54 ◼ ► and not enthusiastic about games like they don't they don't act like a gaming company like they'll say oh look it's [TS]
01:00:08 ◼ ► I mean it's the one you claim because you know what else there is going to want to blame. [TS]
01:00:16 ◼ ► and that's what people want they don't want this tech to go off and be used for social things or video conferencing [TS]
01:00:25 ◼ ► or like all the things that you could use it for the not right about here it's like it could be very good for those [TS]
01:00:30 ◼ ► things it could be very good for lots of applications but he's a game developer he wanted to be all about games [TS]
01:00:35 ◼ ► and he's afraid that non gaming company buying this is going to make it not be about games now this is just what his [TS]
01:00:43 ◼ ► but he did put another bit here thing fixed ours that he says I did not chip in ten grand to see if to see the first [TS]
01:00:52 ◼ ► and he's not bitter because you missed out on money because he's got tons of money already. [TS]
01:01:01 ◼ ► and it seems like my ten thousand dollars was just a you know it was like a little booster to Facebook [TS]
01:01:08 ◼ ► and why the heck does Facebook need my ten thousand dollars like it's like here you go for you [TS]
01:01:12 ◼ ► and you can scoop it up when it's ready and take it away from us take it away from us game developers [TS]
01:01:16 ◼ ► and he say no we're not going to make Minecraft for intimacy that happens but obviously he's very angry. [TS]
01:01:27 ◼ ► Facebook has a business where they you know get everyone's information and they get them to be social [TS]
01:01:32 ◼ ► and try to do things on the web and everything but I think they see you know not so much the writing on the wall [TS]
01:01:38 ◼ ► but just like the evolution of their product where more people are doing more things in Mobile that's what they're [TS]
01:01:42 ◼ ► trying to the paper stuff and they're trying it marks up thing is not a student of tech industry history [TS]

01:02:00 ◼ ► When you've got a lot of money when you're in sort of the sad part of the growth curve [TS]
01:02:03 ◼ ► and doing very well that is the time to try to find out whatever the next big thing is going to be. [TS]
01:02:11 ◼ ► It's a safe bet to go find the best be our company buy them just in case that turns out to be the next big thing. [TS]
01:02:19 ◼ ► and mobile like a regulator made some bad bets about doing H.T.M.L. Style mobile apps or whatever. [TS]
01:02:25 ◼ ► I think he sees himself like as kind of a shame the name of the company's Facebook [TS]
01:02:31 ◼ ► or something like Where the fact that it's so identified with that one product I think he sees I see the future where I [TS]
01:02:38 ◼ ► mean some people are going to eat like a Facebook snout is a glorified holding company. [TS]
01:02:42 ◼ ► But like I think he sees a future where Facebook is no longer defined by the product that we currently know as Facebook [TS]
01:02:48 ◼ ► but is merely like a big technology company right up there with Amazon Apple Google [TS]
01:02:55 ◼ ► He's trying to make sure that he's not blindsided by something he's trying to you know sort of not be surprised by the [TS]
01:03:01 ◼ ► future because he'll be inventing it and it's something you can afford to do when you have a lot of money [TS]

01:03:16 ◼ ► to know a regular person going to put on the big giant had said even to play a game let alone regular people who are [TS]
01:03:23 ◼ ► but you know accelerate this forward twenty five years who knows how big that headset will be who knows like how [TS]
01:03:29 ◼ ► or people if he is in control of that technology evolution because he's got the best people in the world doing V.R. [TS]
01:03:49 ◼ ► Maybe Facebook really just wants to own anyway to to simulate interacting with people that actually have an interactive [TS]
01:04:00 ◼ ► I have some thoughts on this but before I get to the do you want to tell us about something else that's really fun. [TS]
01:04:09 ◼ ► Now most people think of internets as old stale terrible places that the corporate overlords make you go to [TS]

01:04:58 ◼ ► and they hosed insecurely in stock to type one in a price in Canada on their own servers there for two hundred fifty [TS]
01:05:04 ◼ ► six but as I see now I actually know about this art back to English two hundred six [TS]

01:05:17 ◼ ► Semel services an elder and more. It will even work with hip pocket organizations John. [TS]
01:05:24 ◼ ► But you don't have the you know to say hip hop just say HIPPA I feel like I spend more time on a double A. [TS]
01:05:37 ◼ ► Very customizable you can see all this on the Web site it's actually built on their platform a glue Software dot com [TS]
01:05:50 ◼ ► They made a funny landing page about why Share Point sucks and why it Lou is so much better. [TS]
01:05:55 ◼ ► They've been a longtime friend of us me my site they show everything so check. I'm out. It was Software dot com slash. [TS]
01:06:02 ◼ ► Casey thanks a lot today Lou for sponsoring our show once again that this is all about are the very the very top [TS]
01:06:13 ◼ ► or was done in a while now who is paid for a long time to make a share point in trying out for companies [TS]
01:06:19 ◼ ► and I did a build Actually it was either earlier this this year last year that I did think went well because it was a [TS]
01:06:28 ◼ ► but for my prior job at a lot of Share Point builds that worked arable in igloos certainly looks a lot better for [TS]
01:06:40 ◼ ► So thank you very much guys in for the special case the landing page I feel so honored you should write so I'd said [TS]
01:06:50 ◼ ► and really I think I have a thought about Kickstarter which maybe will get to maybe we won't but about Oculus [TS]
01:06:55 ◼ ► and Facebook I almost feel like Facebook is the business of the the Web site in the ad sales are really just [TS]
01:07:09 ◼ ► and I think you are kind of getting to that John in that Facebook is getting Mark Zuckerberg all this money [TS]
01:07:15 ◼ ► and in the company all this money so that they can go out and just goof off and try different things [TS]
01:07:27 ◼ ► and of itself lead me to believe that they're going to ruin it with ads and just generally make it suck. [TS]
01:07:34 ◼ ► With that said remind me of this in five years who have or when Oculus is full of ads and terrible [TS]
01:07:49 ◼ ► But then are you going to goofing off the there is a theme to what they're doing like they're trying to do like social [TS]
01:08:02 ◼ ► and we are if it becomes a viable technology is well suited to that application to sort of you know telepresence [TS]
01:08:18 ◼ ► And this could be the beginning of a technology that has applications so that there is a theme to what they're doing [TS]
01:08:30 ◼ ► and I think it's not kind of like Google self driving cars kind of like pie in the sky nerd stuff you could draw a line [TS]
01:08:37 ◼ ► around this all is a potentially transformative social technologies either current current transformative ones like [TS]
01:08:45 ◼ ► or Facebook which of course what people use you know share pictures of their kids and talk to each other [TS]
01:08:50 ◼ ► and then future things as well so I think it makes sense and that was and I don't think they're just goofing off [TS]
01:08:55 ◼ ► but yeah that's that's the question is like the doomsday scenario is about people that lots of graphic sort of think it [TS]
01:09:04 ◼ ► was a Simpsons episode where they showed Facebook of the future where I was Farmville like Farmville V.R. [TS]
01:09:11 ◼ ► Where a bunch of people they are headsets and hedge clippers in their hands and then there were the O.B.O. [TS]
01:09:19 ◼ ► and I don't think that that's what they're going to do immediately there is like a way to go through your Facebook [TS]
01:09:30 ◼ ► And that's I think that wasn't their pitch like Here's the a couple quotes a graph from Palmer Luckey which I think is [TS]
01:09:35 ◼ ► his real name on a pretty good name for some of these companies are bought for Devo you know if Here's what they think [TS]
01:09:42 ◼ ► they're getting out of this deal with Facebook three items is on is a Reddit thing responding to people who read it I [TS]
01:09:49 ◼ ► says one we can make custom hardware not rely on the scraps of the mobile phone industry. [TS]
01:09:53 ◼ ► So basically they're they're Oculus Rift that they apparently made was like they would buy some screens they were [TS]
01:10:02 ◼ ► and try to wired together that they currently couldn't do it like Apple does actually make custom hardware because it's [TS]
01:10:09 ◼ ► Two point five billion dollars is how much Apple probably spent figuring out how to make the another lightning kind of [TS]
01:10:16 ◼ ► line here probably cost way more than two point five million to develop so anyway custom hardware is really expensive [TS]
01:10:21 ◼ ► and now Facebook promising and we've got tons of money now you can do real hardware development. [TS]
01:10:26 ◼ ► A number to be going for to hire everywhere need the best people to fit into our culture of excellence in all aspects [TS]
01:10:34 ◼ ► Previously their big hire was John Carmack I assumed he was hired with the knowledge that they were going to sell the [TS]
01:10:40 ◼ ► and I'm assuming he got a big piece of that because that's how you get turned down comic to come work for your name [TS]
01:10:44 ◼ ► company to tell them we may be a no name company but what we're doing is really cool [TS]
01:10:52 ◼ ► and not the dot com I think the money I think he was attracted by the technology but I'm sure they've been hurt [TS]
01:10:57 ◼ ► and I'm sure he got a piece of it. And number three is we can make huge investments in content more news soon. [TS]
01:11:03 ◼ ► What that translates to me is they're trying to get big game developers on this like is Half Life three going to come [TS]
01:11:08 ◼ ► to the Oculus Rift or whatever and they throw a bunch of money a valve who by the way is also working on V.A.R. [TS]
01:11:15 ◼ ► but basically if you want to make this a viable gaming platform you've got to have the games how do you get the games [TS]
01:11:26 ◼ ► and he also had the comments of like someone asking about you know what about songs like Microsoft [TS]
01:11:30 ◼ ► and Apple he says what we want to sell someone like Microsoft or Apple so they can pair a company apart [TS]
01:11:35 ◼ ► and use the pieces to build their own version of virtual reality one that fits whatever current strategy they have not [TS]
01:11:40 ◼ ► So we're saying that if Apple had bought them all they'd be doing it so we just want your tech or your patents [TS]
01:11:43 ◼ ► and forget about sprog you're making we're going to use it to do like the next whatever the hell we're going to do we [TS]
01:11:51 ◼ ► or Microsoft like over is going to make this an X.-Box accessory and forget about what you've made [TS]
01:11:55 ◼ ► and the impression of the company is that Facebook is going to let them essentially do. [TS]
01:12:00 ◼ ► So what they were planning to do. Long lack of the same you know same schedule just now the timeline is accelerated. [TS]
01:12:06 ◼ ► Now the price of the product is lower because they can you know they can subsidize it with Facebook's big bankroll they [TS]
01:12:12 ◼ ► can do custom hardware like they think it's basically we're going to do exactly what we're going to be for [TS]
01:12:18 ◼ ► and that may actually be the case for the first few years anyway until Facebook is where this goes like this the whole [TS]
01:12:26 ◼ ► and they say all these things like oh don't worry nothing will change they told us everything's going to be the same [TS]
01:12:35 ◼ ► but like what no one wants to dwell on is like once you are no longer in control of your own company once once the buck [TS]
01:12:40 ◼ ► no longer stops and the you eventually several years down the line is going to be a difference of opinion [TS]
01:12:45 ◼ ► and you're going to every no no you know as intellectually that you're not in charge anymore that a certain point is [TS]
01:12:50 ◼ ► No I'm not in charge of quote unquote my company anymore someone else's and they want to do whatever [TS]
01:12:56 ◼ ► and then you know that's when founders leave their shares have vested they're disgruntled they leave on so-so terms [TS]
01:13:04 ◼ ► but like this is a honeymoon period where everybody thinks it's going to be a win win [TS]
01:13:08 ◼ ► when they think we're going to exactly what we always want to do and we're going to do a better [TS]
01:13:14 ◼ ► But some point down the line is going to be difference of opinion and that's probably where they're going to part ways. [TS]
01:13:23 ◼ ► and I think most nerds about the situation in that I think this does give I give us some breathing room to try to do a [TS]
01:13:32 ◼ ► I just wonder after a couple years of this if they have not headed off in the gaming space [TS]
01:13:37 ◼ ► and that is often like the world of social How long will Facebook keep funneling money into this in the hopes that it [TS]
01:13:43 ◼ ► will turn into something big for them. I don't know. Did did it take a long time for A.O.L. [TS]
01:13:49 ◼ ► To ruin when am I when they bought because a bottle of milk soft as I write I mean that was a special case [TS]
01:14:00 ◼ ► FRANKEL some I think yeah yeah right yeah he I mean a well just dumb to even buy him because he very much like could [TS]
01:14:11 ◼ ► not possibly work for some big corporation like he does not have the personality for that at all with quite comical [TS]
01:14:23 ◼ ► He actually got an impressive amount of subterfuge done but you know I I don't that's that's a great example [TS]
01:14:48 ◼ ► I don't know if there's another quote from Palmer Luckey from an article this is post it is an image with no [TS]
01:14:57 ◼ ► when he was asked about something I guess I'm assuming this is you know many months ago perhaps more than a year ago [TS]
01:15:05 ◼ ► There are certainly people who are interested but we have a vision for our consumer product [TS]
01:15:10 ◼ ► We don't want to be assimilated into someone who's going to have is working on their own product [TS]
01:15:13 ◼ ► or their own vision for E R We want to be we want to be old his liver own vision of what V.A.R. [TS]
01:15:17 ◼ ► Is and so the interviewer says so even a company like AMS I made a huge offer it wouldn't matter [TS]
01:15:27 ◼ ► but I don't think there's a reasonable number that would make me say you know I was going to change the world with V.R. [TS]
01:15:33 ◼ ► Well apparently there was a number and then there was no I know that's kind of unfair and this is a quote. [TS]
01:15:42 ◼ ► I don't I don't slam them for this because like I think everybody does have a number really like this is consistent [TS]
01:15:47 ◼ ► with what he's currently saying now which is that he didn't want to do someone else's vision of the yard. [TS]
01:16:03 ◼ ► or to subsume your tech into some existing thing even likes you know absorbing your tech into like the next X. [TS]
01:16:17 ◼ ► and so I think the people pulling it out is like show that he was hypocritical or whatever [TS]
01:16:21 ◼ ► but I don't personally I don't begrudge people telling out I don't feel bad about the dogs I know I would sell in a [TS]
01:16:34 ◼ ► And that's what I think is important I give you a look at John comics which is literally what is their vision of Yarza [TS]
01:16:42 ◼ ► and karmic both seem to have you know reading between the lines of their vision of the are is like you know Casey's [TS]
01:16:53 ◼ ► or ideally all the futuristic scenarios like you just jack into the Matrix you know whatever like any sort of ninety's [TS]
01:16:59 ◼ ► bet like the original dream of the are you going to be in this virtual world and be like you are really there [TS]
01:17:06 ◼ ► But you know how many times we take in runs of this like I think because to become a Titan like World of Warcraft which [TS]
01:17:15 ◼ ► I think that's their vision of the are like the potential the future potential of the R. [TS]
01:17:20 ◼ ► and Comic it's like Facebook is good scaling and if we're going to do the are right is going to require scaling. [TS]
01:17:26 ◼ ► He's not talking about of we're going to do we are right meaning if we're going to make a really cool first person [TS]
01:17:29 ◼ ► shooter and we are scaling he means like the entire world in like a virtual world all wear headsets all interacting [TS]
01:17:36 ◼ ► or whatever that appears to be their vision and I'm not sure if that's a good vision or if that's feasible vision [TS]
01:17:45 ◼ ► and it's clear that right now they're constrained as making good games which I think is a good idea [TS]
01:17:50 ◼ ► but if you look at it from that perspective kind of starts to make a little bit of sense like like like a tweet that [TS]
01:18:00 ◼ ► Actual real world equivalent of always us from any player one Facebook post to us is like. [TS]
01:18:09 ◼ ► Yeah that was exactly what I was thinking and I don't know I'm not sure that's the future [TS]
01:18:20 ◼ ► But what it does make sense you're absolutely right and I think you hit the nail on the head a moment ago [TS]
01:18:34 ◼ ► but I think what he was referring to we have a number of like you know one hundred billion dollars or whatever. [TS]
01:18:40 ◼ ► but he genuinely seems to believe that him being in his company being bought for two billion is just a bonus it's icing [TS]
01:18:48 ◼ ► on the cake for the fact that he can still do exactly what he's always planned to do. [TS]
01:18:52 ◼ ► They're not mutually exclusive in his mind. So I think you got that exactly right. [TS]
01:18:59 ◼ ► and I know as much as I know you didn't I don't think I want that for our future but maybe I'm just being an old man. [TS]
01:19:09 ◼ ► Jon use the word vision a lot in the last few minutes and talking about the vision they have for this product [TS]
01:19:19 ◼ ► and overestimated in that I think I think the public thinks that people have a lot more of a vision. [TS]
01:19:31 ◼ ► and you know for a product like this it's it's you know it's pretty much paving new ground it's going off in this [TS]
01:19:39 ◼ ► direction that has never worked before and doing it with much newer technology and you know much more advanced stuff [TS]
01:20:04 ◼ ► and the person might might have this dream a future if things were somehow in five years [TS]
01:20:10 ◼ ► But in reality as a product goes on you're never going to get there are going to change there isn't there an editor [TS]
01:20:14 ◼ ► they're going to adapt over time that you know they're going to adapt to a shifting market forces you know as they try [TS]
01:20:23 ◼ ► but the sort of thing does so let's do something instead like everything is going to be edited and shifted over time [TS]
01:20:29 ◼ ► and adjusted based on where things are going and how things have gone for them so far [TS]
01:20:35 ◼ ► and so you might think in theory that they have this vision Facebook's not going to interfere with that [TS]
01:20:42 ◼ ► but the reality is being owned by Facebook will inherently interfere with that because their vision is going to be [TS]
01:20:51 ◼ ► when they have to make some little decision the fact that they are owned by Facebook will on some level informed that [TS]
01:20:58 ◼ ► and so the vision whatever visions of a set out you know by some guy having visions whatever was set out in a time is [TS]
01:21:15 ◼ ► and what they will do in the products they will making all the decisions they will make will definitely be influenced [TS]
01:21:48 ◼ ► but not usually that spot on I bet you know he he adjusted as he went out and he saw opportunities and took them. [TS]
01:22:00 ◼ ► Now you know that's part of the seduction of acquiring company is that the acquire always has to convince the founder [TS]
01:22:08 ◼ ► and I think the difficulty comes in that Facebook will convince them that they share the vision for Facebook shares a [TS]
01:22:20 ◼ ► Whereas the founders of Oculus believe in this vision like as an heir like a lifetime they are never going to give it [TS]
01:22:25 ◼ ► up so if Facebook decides to sort of pivot as they say in current parlance or you know at a Division [TS]
01:22:33 ◼ ► and then they're going to come in conflict with the founders of like no no we still have the original vision what do [TS]
01:22:39 ◼ ► So that's what I was getting at before that that's going to come to a head in a few years of things don't work out. [TS]
01:22:49 ◼ ► Are you going to make a product that people like and do you have a way to make money from it [TS]
01:22:53 ◼ ► or to make money from something else until it can come into something that makes money. [TS]
01:22:57 ◼ ► So you need to concern that this if you just have this vision here you're not going to get there [TS]
01:23:02 ◼ ► but the case of Steve Jobs I think is a great example because he had a vision from the time he was you know like twenty [TS]
01:23:10 ◼ ► years old. How computing should be and it would not be you know it took him like thirty years to get to that vision. [TS]
01:23:23 ◼ ► And along the way he tried all sorts of different directions tried the mac to drive next he did you know that there is [TS]
01:23:31 ◼ ► no laptops in their i Pods in the i Phones And Mike I would say that the i Pad is essentially the culmination of his [TS]
01:23:38 ◼ ► vision of a computing should be like if you go back to like what I think he have a speech to some computer user group [TS]
01:23:43 ◼ ► of like one hundred eighty three that you can find no audio version of and just go and listen to it [TS]
01:23:47 ◼ ► and you're like he's describing the i Pad like in vague terms not specifically I was going to be this that the other [TS]
01:23:53 ◼ ► thing I you know but the vision that computing should be simple and not have lots of fidgety bits and not have it. [TS]
01:24:00 ◼ ► Out of indirection and you know portable and wireless know kind of like Saif I fancy things [TS]
01:24:05 ◼ ► but like their vision sound all wishy washiness like how does that help you make the Macworld does [TS]
01:24:12 ◼ ► but maintaining that vision over his entire life was like kind of his guiding force led him in the direction of if I'm [TS]
01:24:23 ◼ ► and career you can see it as like an entire lifetime spent trying to get to this ideal [TS]
01:24:32 ◼ ► and finding lots of dead ends along the way lots of fruitful things and lots of distractions [TS]
01:24:36 ◼ ► but just never letting go of that idea that you know that essentially the i Pad is what computing should be like you [TS]
01:24:42 ◼ ► know actually I thought it should be even simpler and even cheaper cheaper and even lighter [TS]
01:24:46 ◼ ► but he you know he didn't live long enough to see it happening but that being your guiding principle [TS]
01:24:56 ◼ ► but a broad vision of where you want to go to really helps you guide you as you're going along the steps of like oh we [TS]
01:25:04 ◼ ► have to adjust Oh the situation is changing the realities of change like that's all well and good [TS]
01:25:09 ◼ ► but if you don't have like an overall vision you will find yourself going off under one of those tenants [TS]
01:25:14 ◼ ► and then continuing that direction like plowing forward in that direction forgetting about what your original vision of [TS]
01:25:23 ◼ ► and where you intended to go because you just found a fruitful avenue and direction [TS]
01:25:26 ◼ ► and I think I'm not sure where Mark vision of future is but I'm pretty sure doesn't agree with the Oculus guys. [TS]
01:25:33 ◼ ► And yeah that that will probably come to a head but I do think that their vision like having vision [TS]
01:25:44 ◼ ► If you ever want to get there like over the course of a thirty year career despite all the different twists [TS]
01:25:53 ◼ ► Like it seems if you look at the Facebook is doing and I mean the covers are really really sharp. [TS]
01:26:10 ◼ ► and especially astute with with the business of technology and being in the business that he's in. [TS]
01:26:28 ◼ ► and again because I don't use it regularly it's hard for me to really say this authoritatively [TS]
01:26:34 ◼ ► but it seems like he had a vision for where it was roughly two or three years ago. [TS]
01:26:49 ◼ ► but it seems it seems like he he was really focused and driven to achieve what it was two years ago [TS]
01:26:57 ◼ ► and has not had a clear idea what to do since and that's why we've seen some weird experiments [TS]
01:27:05 ◼ ► And maybe that's what some of these recent acquisitions are about because he is you know as as trying to find out [TS]
01:27:11 ◼ ► what's going to be next because what Facebook is right now seems like it's kind of done I think is a perfect example of [TS]
01:27:19 ◼ ► a second generation tech mogul like not living generation but second crop tech mogul [TS]
01:27:28 ◼ ► and the protagonist ready player one who lived through the eighty's but he's a student of eighty's culture [TS]
01:27:38 ◼ ► and you know even as I respect the founders of Google they're a little bit in the second generation of i like that you [TS]
01:27:45 ◼ ► and Apple and all those things as like kind of the that's his version of history like I want to be like those guys [TS]
01:27:54 ◼ ► So let me look at what all the things that they did when I start my company I'm not going to make the same mistakes [TS]
01:28:02 ◼ ► or whatever of not selling your company Yahoo offered him billions like Microsoft had billions of dollars during his [TS]
01:28:08 ◼ ► face you know so many times and every time turned it down every time we turn it down the number is bigger [TS]
01:28:13 ◼ ► and people would say I can't believe this kid Eternals money what a fool he's going to be screwed. But he knew that. [TS]
01:28:21 ◼ ► Don't sell your company to somebody like don't or even Steve Jobs case don't don't bring a C.E.O. [TS]
01:28:31 ◼ ► Don't sell out because that's like a prerequisite but to be so out like you're never going to be [TS]
01:28:40 ◼ ► and then now you know make a great product make it something people want become worldwide like that's the Facebook that [TS]
01:28:47 ◼ ► and now is at the phase of like OK now I don't want to make the other mistake people make was like Microsoft once you [TS]
01:28:56 ◼ ► when you do you like a dog about the car don't paralyze yourself don't put all your eggs behind in one basket branch [TS]
01:29:05 ◼ ► out figure out what's next and get there before everybody else and if you make mistakes correct them quickly [TS]
01:29:12 ◼ ► The failed playbook of everyone has come before him that he looks up to and admires [TS]
01:29:16 ◼ ► and trying to be smart about which is total a total nerd move you know like use you can use your brain power to try to [TS]
01:29:23 ◼ ► not make the mistakes of the people you have mired Madan in some ways it reminds me of Pixar. [TS]
01:29:27 ◼ ► The whole idea that like the creative process we can figure out what works and what doesn't [TS]
01:29:33 ◼ ► or that might be which is truly a nerd's way to foster creativity like but you know not relying on tradition [TS]
01:29:43 ◼ ► and not worrying about who has power just constraining like what works what kind of what can we measure what can we do [TS]
01:29:51 ◼ ► that actually makes good products and if something doesn't work change it. That I think is his M.O. [TS]
01:29:56 ◼ ► I think his lack of vision as far as I can tell I don't know what his personal business. [TS]
01:30:00 ◼ ► Other than to like the thought of a like Bill Gates like be the victor in the technology world like to be the biggest [TS]
01:30:10 ◼ ► but it's like a I don't know it's not it's not Steve Jobs a vision where he wanted to like do something for humanity [TS]
01:30:17 ◼ ► I don't know exactly where exhilaration is I think it would help if you had wonder right now he's doing better than a [TS]
01:30:21 ◼ ► lot of the people who came the generations before him merely because he gets to learn from all their mistakes. Yeah. [TS]
01:30:42 ◼ ► or you try to use Mark is unread as an organizational tool or the flags you know you probably still I [TS]
01:30:47 ◼ ► and your coworkers to see who's working on what this is a mess. It's time to get organized. [TS]

01:32:27 ◼ ► comic made and flashed on one hundred ninety nine that I actually remember reading in one thousand nine hundred nine [TS]
01:32:32 ◼ ► and not because I'm assuming of where this person saw that a lot of people are retreating into reading it up today [TS]
01:32:39 ◼ ► and fleshed out making Snow Crash into reality feels like a sort of moral imperative to a lot of programmers [TS]
01:32:49 ◼ ► but his description of it did making Snow Crash real is a moral imperative to a lot of programmers I'm sitting meaning [TS]
01:32:56 ◼ ► himself says all you need to know about Likewise John a comic during this company I mean if you think back to like what [TS]
01:33:01 ◼ ► quake was supposed to be before it actually began a product like the idea it was going to be like the virtual world [TS]
01:33:10 ◼ ► but then Quake world where you could connect to people of the Internet like his entire career has been making steps in [TS]
01:33:16 ◼ ► that direction like we wouldn't have this stuff if we didn't have all the three D. [TS]
01:33:23 ◼ ► I think I can see what comic vision as he lays it out more or less like he read Snodgrass. [TS]
01:33:28 ◼ ► He said Yes I want to go to there and he's been working towards that ever since. I will see what happens. [TS]
01:33:34 ◼ ► A lot of people they asked about this speaking of Facebook this Facebook hack language language extension thing. [TS]
01:33:44 ◼ ► but I didn't know if you had any other commentary you may want to share if you could summarize you know what what your [TS]
01:33:52 ◼ ► Well I don't have a lot more to say I think it's really interesting so so as a quick overview how is Facebook's. [TS]
01:34:00 ◼ ► Basically it's a modification an addition to the P.H.P. Language. So they are taking P.H.P. [TS]
01:34:05 ◼ ► and They are a couple years ago they made this hip hop compiler that would compile P.H.P. To C. Plus plus. [TS]
01:34:13 ◼ ► That way it can be compiled binary and be way faster and they'd actually replace that with something called a V.M. [TS]
01:34:22 ◼ ► and That was about a year ago they released that and it's it's basically a super high performance P.H.P. [TS]
01:34:34 ◼ ► Has had like optimizing caching byte code compilers before it actually comes with one. [TS]
01:34:59 ◼ ► In a faster way let's start customizing it more to our taste. So they've added things to the language. [TS]
01:35:06 ◼ ► Most substantial they added optional static typing in type ending which is really really great. [TS]
01:35:12 ◼ ► That's one thing I would I love to I would love to have that So hack is basically P.H.P. [TS]
01:35:19 ◼ ► Plus some stuff including most significant static typing optional. So it's very very interesting. [TS]
01:35:39 ◼ ► and never was you know it's you know it's famously with that awesome article that P.H.P. [TS]
01:35:44 ◼ ► Being a fractal of bad design willing to startle so much. It is not a well designed language. [TS]
01:36:00 ◼ ► I'm having a lot of bad decisions over the years but it is an eminently practical language [TS]
01:36:22 ◼ ► and I didn't get a lot of crap from people who I know to be experienced programmers [TS]
01:36:28 ◼ ► and I'm not I'm not saying that everyone who said crap to me about that is is a noob or anything [TS]
01:36:35 ◼ ► but I think if you if you can look at the language you're using like this is actually a good way to bring us into this [TS]
01:36:45 ◼ ► Are there any Perryman languages that you know well enough to say are great I don't know if I'd say C. Sharp is great. [TS]
01:36:54 ◼ ► I'd say I have very similar opinions as you do of P.H.P. In that I think it's really really good. [TS]
01:37:01 ◼ ► I think it's been used to write some real real crap but I think it's extremely powerful [TS]
01:37:06 ◼ ► and can be bent to do almost anything but you know that that flexibility comes with some cost [TS]
01:37:14 ◼ ► Think you probably qualify as a great language not to do anything in particular just because now we're so far away from [TS]
01:37:21 ◼ ► it's like it's its time of usefulness that like it has a very has only a few warts on it [TS]
01:37:34 ◼ ► I guess probably because like a fine to a language it's great because like everything like what. [TS]
01:37:38 ◼ ► What awkward and weird about C. United those point as well yes like of the whole point. [TS]
01:37:49 ◼ ► but for what it does it's pretty good I go maybe I haven't. I was hesitant to say go because goes kind of like C. [TS]
01:38:00 ◼ ► It was like a little bit too low level to be a great line which I haven't used enough to say [TS]
01:38:08 ◼ ► but it's kind of like see with the bad things shaved up and I added a bunch of other stuff too. [TS]
01:38:13 ◼ ► and I think any any of the more modern languages like Struve any pro is the more you know about the more you you see [TS]
01:38:22 ◼ ► Where you don't know that well to scale the word to cover it in more it is all wart [TS]
01:38:31 ◼ ► but the more you know language the more you just are disgusted by it because you just if you use it for real [TS]
01:38:36 ◼ ► and become an expert in it you'll know where all the bodies are buried in your list. [TS]
01:38:40 ◼ ► Feel bad about it but you know it's difficult anything anything that isn't in widespread use and it grows quickly [TS]
01:38:46 ◼ ► and you know even in a best case scenario is going to eventually accumulate craft and you know P.H.P. and C. [TS]
01:38:55 ◼ ► Plus plus for example start out with a hell of a lot of crap from the beginning and just got worse. [TS]
01:39:02 ◼ ► Started out as a pretty terrible language and became a good language over time but I think you're exactly right. [TS]
01:39:13 ◼ ► when you learn new language you go through the stages first it's unfamiliar to you [TS]
01:39:23 ◼ ► Either this is terrible because you're being forced to use or something either you know through work [TS]
01:39:28 ◼ ► or you have to you know use a certain language to be on a certain platform or whatever else [TS]
01:39:37 ◼ ► What the hell are they doing with these method names what is that why there's parentheses there [TS]
01:39:41 ◼ ► and what's the plus doing all this other crap of like why can't use use words like everyone else [TS]
01:39:49 ◼ ► And so if you're being forced or coerced to use it for some other reason that's usually you look at it [TS]
01:39:55 ◼ ► and say this is terrible. If you are learning it because it's it's the new cool thing. [TS]
01:40:02 ◼ ► You might have the opposite extreme reaction of everything is awesome Oh my God this is great this is the totally the [TS]
01:40:09 ◼ ► And then as you learn more of the language as you have more experience with it here your opinion tends to you know move [TS]
01:40:17 ◼ ► towards the middle. In some way like she start to go OK now you know I'm getting more familiar with it. [TS]
01:40:27 ◼ ► And you start seeing OK Well here are the things that are decent at this and I think getting the hang of it [TS]
01:40:32 ◼ ► and a lot of times your opinions of the language shortcomings at that point are actually your shortcomings [TS]
01:40:47 ◼ ► And then as you tend to get more expertise in the language as you become an expert [TS]
01:40:52 ◼ ► and really get a lot of experience that I think the wisdom that you reach at that point usually is OK This is actually [TS]
01:41:03 ◼ ► a pretty good lamely look I can see what they were going for. I see why things are on the way they're done. I see. [TS]
01:41:10 ◼ ► Oh well you know here's the school new way to do this thing that I didn't know about before [TS]
01:41:14 ◼ ► and all the code I wrote before this point was crap now I want to remind all that stuff the right way. [TS]
01:41:25 ◼ ► and then you start saying OK Actually these parts of the language are really getting in my way now. [TS]
01:41:34 ◼ ► or there is no better way to do this that is just a stupid wall because the language is stupid [TS]
01:41:38 ◼ ► and so as you get further in knowing a language you eventually realize that every language sucks in some ways. [TS]
01:41:46 ◼ ► Like I've never I've never learned a programming language well that I thought didn't suck in some way. [TS]
01:41:55 ◼ ► Although I will say gee I think I might give C. The highest overall. All rating maybe. [TS]
01:42:07 ◼ ► and if you if you can't see why the language you're using sucks in certain ways you're probably in that early stage of [TS]
01:42:14 ◼ ► it where it's still very new and novel and you maybe you haven't used it enough to really were into some of the walls [TS]
01:42:21 ◼ ► or maybe just you know the the way you've used it just hasn't been expansive enough in the grand scheme of things to [TS]
01:42:28 ◼ ► really Renton's certain certain types of problem that are going to spring into so I think similarly it's hard to say [TS]
01:42:35 ◼ ► any language is bad in the same way it it's hard to say really which is any language is particularly great. [TS]
01:42:40 ◼ ► It's hard to say language is particularly bad because you know the reason why people say language is bad is because of [TS]
01:42:47 ◼ ► faults that are not the languages it's because of you know bad code they've seen bad programmers they've interacted [TS]
01:42:56 ◼ ► or bad a bad situation that they that they got that they had to write that language in [TS]
01:43:08 ◼ ► You know often there because of the people you're working with or the way the language was used by a novice. [TS]
01:43:14 ◼ ► And there are people writing bad code in every language and so I feel like a lot of the criticism about P.H.P. [TS]
01:43:22 ◼ ► but you know you can tell the same things about Visual Basic Visual Basic back in the day you know the language I knew [TS]
01:43:40 ◼ ► and it wasn't cool ever it was you know it was never respected by programmers but it worked [TS]
01:43:48 ◼ ► and it wasn't as bad as most programmers think because they never bothered to to learn how to write well in it [TS]
01:43:53 ◼ ► and they probably saw a lot of bad V.B. Code so it was very similar thing with P.H.P. and With any language like. [TS]
01:44:00 ◼ ► Look at the language and you can say well it works like there are some weird edge cases [TS]
01:44:08 ◼ ► You know people build large apps and all of them if you look on some page and you can get it was like the. [TS]
01:44:14 ◼ ► Like what what the biggest Web site in the world are built on and I think a good quarter of of the top ten [TS]
01:44:23 ◼ ► Including Facebook with wordpress dot com Tumblr I think as far as I still know things like that. [TS]
01:44:30 ◼ ► There's a lot of P.H.P. Out there being used and Yahoo uses it pretty heavily. It's you know it's fine. [TS]
01:44:37 ◼ ► It's it's down to what you write and how you write it and there are certain things like the libraries can help [TS]
01:44:43 ◼ ► or hurt in certain ways although there's nothing stopping you from running your own libraries [TS]
01:44:47 ◼ ► or modifying the ones that are there. So anyway all this is to say back to Facebook's hack. [TS]
01:44:54 ◼ ► The concept of Facebook taking like kind of taking control of this branch of P.H.P. First with a V.M. [TS]
01:45:02 ◼ ► and Now with their own language modifications of the that are calling their own language that I think is an interesting [TS]
01:45:09 ◼ ► thing that here is here is language that was kind of you know managed with mediocrity taken by this other company. [TS]
01:45:22 ◼ ► Is going to continue but so what they did was reimplement P.H.P. Five point four now of P.H.P. If the real P.H.P. [TS]
01:45:34 ◼ ► Six point zero in ways that Facebook really doesn't like or in ways the Facebook things are worse. [TS]
01:45:47 ◼ ► and just say we're not going to maintain parity anymore because that stupid we're going to differ in these ways.. [TS]
01:45:53 ◼ ► It really is kind of like they're really really taking control they're not just like adding the role of P.H.P. [TS]
01:46:00 ◼ ► It's a Sara Lee forever there. They have taken some control and they might they might then diverge with that control. [TS]
01:46:18 ◼ ► There's no question about that they're way better at it. Their their run time is way better. [TS]
01:46:25 ◼ ► but by looking at how you can see what they thought the language needed I think I disagree with some of their changes [TS]
01:46:42 ◼ ► and become the dominant implementation of the dominant spec of the language that's great. [TS]
01:46:53 ◼ ► and then there it could be a weird point where let's say you write a bunch of hacked code let's say you decide OK you [TS]
01:47:00 ◼ ► know what this hack thing is pretty cool. I want to start using it in my P.H.P. Code. Let's do it. [TS]
01:47:27 ◼ ► That Besides that I think overall this is a good thing although there's no question it will definitely fragment the [TS]
01:47:41 ◼ ► but you also point on your blog post is like this is they're using this to write stuff on the server side so it's not [TS]
01:47:47 ◼ ► like they have a developer community out there is like for example Apple Objective C. [TS]
01:47:54 ◼ ► So they're sort of maintaining an imperious language on behalf of all these developers where a space book is. [TS]
01:48:00 ◼ ► Maintaining an bring peace be on behalf of Facebook employees who writes Facebook back [TS]
01:48:03 ◼ ► and far as I know they don't have any kind of like hey you go right you know like a development platform for people to [TS]
01:48:27 ◼ ► but even if you know that was the case I think people who've built like built code on top of Facebook's platform have [TS]
01:48:34 ◼ ► been burned in the past because Facebook basically just want something to run their their server side web application [TS]
01:48:41 ◼ ► what they want to all the right and maintain it efficiently and that is their sole focus [TS]
01:48:46 ◼ ► and so if they change their mind as they had already like these that hip hop which the thing that took P.H.P. [TS]
01:48:50 ◼ ► Turned into C. Plus plus plus plus into this big monster executable that was their previous approach. [TS]
01:48:56 ◼ ► This is their current approach and a few more years maybe they'll have another approach. [TS]
01:48:59 ◼ ► And at that point it's not so much they will forked hack so far it's just the will lose interest in it like I think [TS]
01:49:07 ◼ ► or three of these logging infrastructure thing which was originally a Facebook product [TS]
01:49:14 ◼ ► and I think like the open source community like picked it up and made a alternative or a port or a fork of it [TS]
01:49:19 ◼ ► or whatever so it could be that hack ends up you know Facebook decides on whatever the next approach is in four [TS]
01:49:26 ◼ ► Hack is left to die on the vine and so does open source the open source community grabs it and that is like P.H.P. [TS]
01:49:32 ◼ ► Seven or something and hopefully continues to run with it but you hope this the P.H.P. [TS]
01:49:39 ◼ ► You hope it doesn't just like starve everybody out and all there is attack and then they spoke with interest [TS]
01:49:46 ◼ ► and there's no one left to maintain AK What a terrible name that is by the way you know yet. [TS]
01:49:51 ◼ ► I think a Facebook loses interest in this if they abandon it. I don't think there's enough people in the P.C. [TS]
01:50:00 ◼ ► And who would have the time and the skill to maintain it properly I think if Facebook abandons it it's done. [TS]
01:50:07 ◼ ► That's it because the official Peterman probably want nothing to do with it they probably are not happy about the [TS]
01:50:13 ◼ ► existence of that really is like a big middle finger to them saying your language was bad so we made our own version of [TS]
01:50:22 ◼ ► Well as you pointed out they probably deserve a middle finger that was their namespace in character for the backslash [TS]
01:50:29 ◼ ► Like backslash I What the heck was that there's anything to serve the middle finger [TS]
01:50:33 ◼ ► and then I stood on Usenet spaces for that reason I think if you had to pick if you had to pick a worse character going [TS]
01:50:40 ◼ ► to think of one without you can live you're not going to Miley's like pile of Poe's going you know the worst [TS]
01:50:45 ◼ ► or worse ASCII character I don't think there is one. Maybe like maybe a non printing character I guess. Vertical Pab. [TS]
01:51:06 ◼ ► Maintainers even if they chose to take it over which I think is very very unlikely. [TS]
01:51:19 ◼ ► and like you know what I'm I'm choosing to write my overcast code base. Now I'm writing it in P.H.P. [TS]
01:51:27 ◼ ► As of a few days ago and it's great but I'm hesitant to adopt hacks because like what I wrote Instapaper is code base. [TS]
01:51:36 ◼ ► It was two thousand it was late two thousand and seven when I first wrote that the beginnings of that [TS]
01:51:41 ◼ ► and it was still running that code base to the best of my knowledge until mid twenty thirteen [TS]
01:51:48 ◼ ► and then around to get it like it had not been to any language until mid two thousand and thirteen [TS]
01:52:02 ◼ ► or so to start something now like I do things for not not the long haul if the Yankees are going to last twenty years [TS]
01:52:09 ◼ ► but I do things with defecation other going to last a couple years at least three to five years sounds reasonable to me [TS]
01:52:18 ◼ ► and so do I think this language is going to still be healthy and around a maintained in three to five years. [TS]
01:52:26 ◼ ► I don't know I think it's way too soon to say because Facebook is using it now but you know like they're they're not. [TS]
01:52:34 ◼ ► and I think it's like it's not being developed in the open it's like they're having just like code dumps every once in [TS]
01:52:43 ◼ ► and they're just dumping back to the back of the public codebase occasionally like every every couple of weeks [TS]
01:52:49 ◼ ► or whatever. So like web cam the I think so. So like you know like a Facebook start losing interest in this. [TS]
01:53:01 ◼ ► and eventually the version they're going to use internally is going to be so divergent from the from the public version [TS]
01:53:06 ◼ ► others kind of stop it stop thinking it's worth maintaining the public version and you know there are so many. [TS]
01:53:17 ◼ ► There are so many plausible realistic ways where this language could get just kind of withered and killed [TS]
01:53:24 ◼ ► or abandoned over the next few years as Facebook's interest and needs change themselves. [TS]
01:53:35 ◼ ► What I am interested in is one of the great advantages of hack and of hip hop is the static type checker. [TS]
01:53:51 ◼ ► and that should be pretty easy to do because they they have an open source compiler right there in the world. So. [TS]
01:54:03 ◼ ► That make it possibly even easier than that. But if there was an option for the V.M. Runtime to compile hack to P.H.P. [TS]
01:54:13 ◼ ► Seamlessly that would be more interesting because then you could write your code in half and you can either run it [TS]
01:54:20 ◼ ► and hack on the server or Facebook said to be dicks and kill it. You can compile them to P.H.P. and Keep working. [TS]
01:54:27 ◼ ► Or you could keep it as hack compelled to P.H.P. For deployment before you deploy. [TS]
01:54:34 ◼ ► and have it be like a pre-commit hook so you could say Alright I'm going to use it without checking [TS]
01:54:38 ◼ ► and I'm not going to be checking in at runtime all the time but I will check a compile time or commit time [TS]
01:54:43 ◼ ► and so then you will still get a lot of the benefits of those add ons not some of the other add on in the language [TS]
01:54:53 ◼ ► I mean sorry there are some out onto the language that could be very easily removed and stripped out for a P.H.P. [TS]
01:55:00 ◼ ► Compile. Not all of them but some. So that I'm interested in. Otherwise I think I'm in a wait and see. [TS]
01:55:09 ◼ ► All right thanks a lot two or three sponsors this week help spot a glue and Warby Parker [TS]
01:55:16 ◼ ► and we will see you next week to be accidental. And you are sitting on the way this is asking a. [TS]
01:56:25 ◼ ► I kind of like that one thing that you can now Marco gets to experience the bitterness of of the of parents where you [TS]
01:56:34 ◼ ► see like Greece just seem like matters as far as and yes it does look like he's always on vacation and National Park. [TS]
01:56:45 ◼ ► He's carefree go wherever he wants is an adult to know that the worry about Nap time are feeding people [TS]
01:56:53 ◼ ► or people being cranky or changing poopy diapers and he's always on vacation and you sent me this notebook [TS]
01:57:04 ◼ ► and maybe you just mean like generalizing the Seabees tech people doing other stuff [TS]
01:57:08 ◼ ► but it just seems like California people have have such like such beautiful climates and such beautiful landscapes [TS]
01:57:18 ◼ ► and again well you know as you said they don't have kids yet maybe or they're on their ranch with Ronald Reagan. [TS]
01:57:24 ◼ ► and like it's like I feel like being on the east coast keeps me a little bit closer to reality even though I live in a [TS]
01:57:40 ◼ ► and that part of the problem in the valley is is a pretty severe lack of perspective I think of the fame of going out [TS]
01:57:50 ◼ ► there is better to Instagram then where I can make a scene like that can't always be on vacation he believes [TS]
01:57:56 ◼ ► or whatever but they make it seem like it was I think a lot of pictures when they go ahead they go them out. [TS]
01:58:00 ◼ ► Over time so as far as you're concerned like they're always in Japan at some neutral place [TS]
01:58:03 ◼ ► or they're always in Thousand America somewhere in a jungle or there oh even your sanity [TS]
01:58:10 ◼ ► and they spread them out over the year that you don't see pictures of them sitting in front of their MacBook Pro for [TS]
01:58:16 ◼ ► fifty hours a week for most of the air which I simmered how they spent most of that time for me I do like always on the [TS]
01:58:22 ◼ ► case in California I'm going to mention this on the show but both Lander brothers live in California no one outside [TS]
01:58:33 ◼ ► Generally speaking every single time I talk to either of my brothers on the phone. [TS]
01:58:45 ◼ ► and the drought in the high in as they don't live there. All the Google buses. Goodness by everyone live listeners. [TS]
01:58:59 ◼ ► You've been an amazing audience. Thank you so much for coming out here tonight. Lou go city name. Hello Cleveland. [TS]
01:59:14 ◼ ► That's why I thought one of us I remember who was one thing was me said Everything is awesome [TS]
01:59:22 ◼ ► but I figured you as wouldn't get that reference I guess Kitty would have cases the new Mr Evan together about that [TS]
01:59:31 ◼ ► or one that you're talking about no idea never heard of snow corral No I filmed I didn't even know I didn't make the [TS]
01:59:38 ◼ ► joke about you guys I like Marco So crash nothing. You cannot put this in the show you'll get so much. [TS]
