Dr. G and Mr. Reagan Discuss the Original "Ghostbusters" Film
"Is kind of a sui generis movie. It's its own category, isn't it? I mean, it's comedy, but it's Supernatural. It doesn't fit into any other category, right? No, up until I would say probably about maybe ten years ago or something like that. I never even considered it a comedy. Somebody mentioned that it was a comedy sort of like Back to the Future. People mentioned that these movies are comedies from time to time and you don't really think too much about it. But when I was a little boy, possibly because I didn't understand the jokes. Because, you know, a lot of kids love this movie. But we didn't love it 'cause it was funny. We loved it because it was this epic adventure. And I look at this. Look at this. Look at this scene. Special effect here of the eggs cooking was actually the eggs cooking. They actually turned that island into a hot plate. I mean, this is, this is old school, but isn't it perfect? Oh, brilliant, brightly done. And actually, when I was a kid, that alone freaked me out. 'cause if you're like a 5 6 year old kid and you're seeing that happen, you're like, what the hell is going on with those eggs? And her expression is perfect. I gotta say, so Gordon weaver's performance in this film. She's not really my type. I wouldn't say she's my type. If you want to see my type, watch the music video of the song Ghostbusters. That chick is hot. But it's according to weaver isn't really my kind of girl. But her performance is so good she sells it. She sells it as being sexy. She sells it as being vulnerable. She sells it as being concerned as being intellectual. And Bill Murray at the beginning. Her and Bill Murray, I just said, are you like some game show host? You're not a scientist. Great line as well. And when you're an adult, you get those lines. If you're older, you watch it again. She's like, you don't see much like a scientist. And he's like, yeah, scientists are pretty stiff, I guess. She goes, you're more like a game show host. And he's,

Dr. G and Mr. Reagan Try to Classify "Big Trouble in Little China"
"I love this movie, always have. I'm a big John Carter fan, but this is, this is not your average John Carpenter fair, but first things first. And you know, he's a horror guy. I mean, the thing amazing all of his movies to have a horror thriller genre superb. I'm trying to understand first things first. What flipping category do we put this move for you? Is it comedy? Is it fantasies? It fancy comedy. Is it satire? What is this film? It's like it's completely, you know, the phrase sui generis was designed for this film, wasn't it? Yeah, I think this is why the film didn't do so well in the box office while it was very difficult to market. It's like, I don't even know what this is. When I say one of the best films ever made, I say that a little bit tongue in cheek because it is hard to nail down what this film is. It I think of it as a comedy, but if you watch it as a comedy in 2023, the jokes don't all land, I think, because it's very much a comedy for the age that it was produced in. And there's so many special effects in it. It's so wild and it's so 80s. I mean, this is one of the most 80s, 80s films ever produced, you know? That's how I would categorize it an 80s film. But also amazing effects. I mean, it's got the same guy who did the effects for the thing. And also, you know, the and Ghostbusters. Yeah, and Ghostbusters, but also the production quality. I mean, just the sets. I mean, I listened to the movie with the director with John Carpenter and Kurt Russell talking through the whole thing. They were using his sets from this movie in music videos for the next decade. Janet Jackson just said, leave that there. I'm doing my next pop music video on the set of the battle at the end of big troubling little China. This was not a cheap film to make.

"Changing environment. The goalposts move all the time with the technology and trying to find somebody with experience in this is hard, simply because it's all brand new. And it's hard. I mean, this is hard stuff to manage. And it reminds me at the bottom of the article they talk about how it's going to be difficult for this company to gain credibility because it is so new and has so little background. Well, that reminds me of sort of the joke on Twitter right now of people who are advertising for positions and they want people with ten years in DeFi. Ten years building web three. It didn't exist ten years ago. You can't have ten years of experience doing this. And any company that has had ten years or 20 or 30 years of experience in auditing companies, well, they haven't had that experience auditing crypto companies and auditing exchanges. And that's just, I think, what you're going to get when you're trying to audit a brand new sector like this. George? Everything you guys have said sounds exactly right. Breaking that vicious cycle that Anna was talking about, it sounds like the only way to really do that is to go public and become a publicly traded company and then get some reputable firm on your side. But going public is so hard and usually at least in my view, pre unadvisable for most companies, it's not like, hey, I want to go public and that you can just go public. This big undertaking, which in and of itself requires an auditing firm too, requires an investment bank to help place the equity. It is, it's beyond a vicious cycle. We're in a different pyramid. These companies are playing a completely different pyramid in their vicious cycle and they're not even up here where they want to be and get the Deloitte's KPMG's big fours in the world to come on with them. I don't know how they win. I don't think you can win in this situation. It's kind of it's a tough one. Yeah. Yeah, too bad. You could just take a Bitcoin. Anyway, we can get our next story and you want to get a sick? Yeah, and talking about the actual publicly traded companies, meaning one and only publicly traded company in crypto coinbase. Brian Armstrong, went out with an op-ed on CNBC talking about how America should embrace crypto if it wants to stay the geopolitical power. It has been, quote, the U.S. has long been the leader in global economic and political affairs, but its dominance is being challenged by the other global superpowers. China, for example, has made significant progress in digital currencies and has already launched its own digital yuan. So Brian I was wrong is telling us if America wants to keep it slid there better embrace crypto, better make some good regulatory framework for it. But. A digital dollar just go with it. There is a lot to unpack here. But I wonder what do you guys think about this whole geopolitical argument that embracing crypto can make a country stronger or a more powerful and what it does for the industry. So bringing these kind of arguments into the conversation. I'm not a geopolitical expert by any stretch. But it feels a little bit out there to say that the reason that China will become a dominant economic player over the U.S. is because of crypto, that seems a little bit misplaced. We see the most traded and used asset and besides Bitcoin in the actually, this might not be true, but the most used asset is USCT or stablecoin equivalents for the U.S. dollar. Whether we like it or not, the U.S. dollar is the dominant currency. There is U.S. dollar hegemony, whatever that big word means, and I don't think just because the digital yuan exists, where it's really a surveillance coin where it has these timestamps on it where you can only spend it within the next two weeks, or else you lose it. I don't think that in and of itself is going to displace the U.S. as the big economic power. If anything, it's going to be our lack of onshore manufacturing and, you know, the fact that, I don't know, other countries have better economies. They're growing faster than us. They're burning a lot of coal, so their economy is growing like crazy. I love crypto and I love Bitcoin. I love what this is all about, but I really think this is just a public company CEO. Doc in his book, trying to make what he does sound more important than he is. And that sounds like a hate crypto, but I think it's true, Christy, what do you think? I think that there is a segment of the world economy that is going to be driven by crypto markets. And whether or not it is a significant part of that economy is whatever, but if you want to win the crypto market war, if you're economy is going to have a strong presence in crypto markets, then I think Armstrong's got a point. And I want to just because all three of us are from the consensus magazine part of Bitcoin desk product here. I'd like to draw everyone's attention to an excellent opinion that coined desks consensus magazine published by Noel atchison and it is titled the future of crypto markets will be driven by developments in the east. And one of the things she points out is what's going on in Hong Kong.

"A lot a lot a lot of ether. In its platform. So the staking sector across blockchains has a total value locked of 14.03 billion. Making it the second biggest sector in the crypto space surpassing decentralized lending and borrowing. So liquid staking is massive. And lido on just Ethereum and no other blockchain controls more than 65% of crypto's total liquid staking sector. It commands 37.7% of all ether in Ethereum staking contract according to ether scan. And what's it doing? It is rewriting its code. And everybody is voting on the new upgrades and the new updates. So on Tuesday, the protocol opened a snapshot vote on its version two upgrade, which includes a staking router to ease onboarding of different validator subsets. So it's going to unlock experimentation and diversification of approaches to node operators. So it's essentially going to allow for more permissionless node operators and onboarding different types of node operators onto the platform. The second element of the V two upgrade will allow users to redeem light dose flagship staked ether tokens for the underlying ether tokens once the Shanghai upgrade happens. So people are going to be able to get their ether out, essentially. The upgrade will bring a significant rewrite to lido's on chain code and off chain code. And it's being audited by like 7 different auditors, but if anything goes wrong in this, that is a lot

"Hello. This is the ash. We have editor at large Christine Canada. We have investigative reporter extraordinary Anna in the studio, and I'm just the guy named George. To get to see the two of you for those of you who are listening to us via the coindesk podcast network. Thank you for joining. It's like when this TV. But for your ears only. So let's get right to it. Our first story, and I think our second story from Christy, go ahead. Yeah, so the first story is kind of goofy, but it's fun. And that's what we're here for on the hash. There is a little bit of a feud happening. So there's a big conference happening right now in Denver, east Denver, and there are some side events that happened. One of the side events is hosted by ponton a crypto wallet startup. Backed by the aptos blockchain. And they are hosting the move con conference later this week in the aptos house on the sidelines of 8th Denver. So the focus of this event is move. MOVE move. And that's a coding language that Facebook engineers originally developed for the defunct project DM. It's also the base language used by both aptos and sui. These are two blockchains that emerged in part from Facebook's defunct, stablecoin project. So there were invitations and then this invitations to this little event. And of course, going to events is all about going to the side parties. And well, there were disinvitation. So the sui foundation is now not going to be attending move con on March 3rd. And they're kind of annoyed by this because obviously, you know, pawn is a wallet started up backed by the app just blockchain and now the rival move platform sui is not allowed to go. So what's the big deal between these two? Aptos is implementation of move uses an address centric model and works closely with blockchain networks. And it involves two ledgers and there's like a lot of techie stuff. But so they have an address centric model, whereas Sue is move implementation uses an object centric model. So that means tokens and smart contracts and NFTs are displayed as objects and makes the ownership of particular things really explicit. It's a potatoes potatoes kind of thing. But some potatoes are better than potatoes, apparently. And this is causing some stress. So here we go. Does anyone have anything they want to say about this little drama Anna? I want to just say I love how savagely Christ used the word defunct. Talking about Facebook's previously very hyped blockchain project, which used to be Libra than it was DM that it was totally abandoned. And it's funny that I think these days you need to really remind people what this projects are, you know, what is after what is sui, you know, not many people have been paying attention what's going on with and it just illustrates how much the personalities and big names play how big is their role in crypto, which is supposedly the centralized authority list. And so on. Yeah, I love how this drama is very nerdy, right? You're talking about a design choice versus like count system or an object basis. And that's ridiculous, right? But we love the drama, right? And I'll take it to the logical extreme that I think Anna was kind of suggesting there. This is why we need decentralized and neutral money and neutral systems because even me so called reasonable person might have some sort of discriminatory thought in my sleep little head and because of that, I can easily be corrupt. I, George, can think of many, many people who I don't want to be invited to a conference or a conference site event that I'm attending. And I can think of many people that probably wouldn't want me to be invited to a certain conference or certain side event. But that shouldn't matter, right? Isn't that the point of all of this? Even if they've never done anything to me ever, I've never done anything to them ever. Just because they decide they want to object program language or a account based program language, I don't even know if what I'm saying makes sense, but come on guys, you're rejects from the DM project anyway. You know, you know what it's like to be rejected. You know what it's like to be disinvited, uninvited. Come on. Are they really going to uninvite people just because someone else said that you should uninvite someone? If anything, don't you want the fireworks to fly? Bring everyone. We should invite roger ver to the Bitcoin conference, right? Let's do that. Why not? Well, the thing is also move is a language that is not exactly popular. It's not like everybody's doing it. These are two projects. The two biggest projects that are using move and the whole project is about move. And you're eliminating basically half of the move developers from showing up. So it's really not a very, it's not an inclusive little program at all. And I think that's part of the problem that you get with some rival projects and, you know, even in Bitcoin, where you need to have the diversity of voices and you need to have the developers coming together in order to actually make things work. That's how things develop is when you have conflicting views all coming together and sharing. So yeah, George. Yeah, to that, right? If you think your idea is better than another person's idea, just silencing that other voice is not the way to do it in this new system, right? Let's have a conversation about it. Let me convince everyone else that I'm right, and we can start moving forward with my idea. Silencing your, it's not even critics. It's just silencing someone else who has a different idea than you is sort of the antithesis of what this is all supposed to be about. So anyway. I think these are competing layers. So you're looking at taking out your competition by disinviting them. And that's just a bad look. Anyway, speaking of things that are developing, oh my goodness. So lido, lido is doing some major code rewrites. And this is a very big deal. So what is lido? Lido is, it's a staking platform for Ethereum. And it's a pool. It holds

And <Speech_Male> so we've already initiated <Speech_Male> several <Speech_Male> conversations with the <Speech_Male> agencies. There's <Speech_Male> theirs, <Speech_Male> for instance, say <Speech_Male> an office called the office <Speech_Male> I have combination <Speech_Male> products or <Speech_Male> combinatorial products. <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> And we've already <Speech_Male> started the engagement <Speech_Male> with them. <Speech_Male> To <Speech_Male> understand ultimately <Speech_Male> the long-term regulatory <Speech_Male> path, <Speech_Male> <SpeakerChange> <Speech_Male> what I always <Speech_Male> like to say is <Speech_Male> with the FDA <Speech_Male> or any regulatory <Speech_Male> agency worldwide, <Speech_Male> start the <Speech_Male> conversations early <Speech_Male> and start the <Speech_Male> conversations often. <Speech_Male> And that's <Speech_Male> self advice <Speech_Male> that we've heated <Speech_Male> and <Speech_Male> yes, we <Speech_Male> continue those <Speech_Male> discussions to <Speech_Male> understand <Speech_Male> the pathway as well <Speech_Male> as describe the <Speech_Male> product to the agency. <Silence> <SpeakerChange> <Speech_Male> David sui, <Speech_Male> cofounder and chief <Speech_Male> scientific officer <Speech_Male> of early <Speech_Male> David, thanks so much <Speech_Male> for your time today. <Speech_Male> Daniel, thanks. <Speech_Male> <Advertisement> It was a pleasure to <Speech_Male> <Advertisement> speak with you.

Epicenter
"sui" Discussed on Epicenter
"If any developer said, you know, I want to go through the process of selecting my own magic validators and customizing this chain completely for my own purposes, and I want to make it permissioned, et cetera. You can still do that. But we are probably going to be the easier option for developers to go with. Right. I think you sort of touched on it. Maybe we can go back a bit to the innovation of how you price validator seats. So this auction, I think it's called musical chairs. I remember reading the white paper a while ago. So yeah, I think interesting concept in terms of going a bit away from the model that's currently is get some steak, and then you get the rewards, but rather more engaged, I guess, in terms of the validator side. So curious why you came up with that. And I guess how it works, obviously. So yeah, maybe you can expand on that a bit. Yeah, absolutely. So I think that we had two goals, really. With respect to this mechanism that we came up with, which is the musical chairs auction, thanks to Felix and yeah, that is our name for it. I'll explain why in a second. But on the developer side, we wanted to give them as predictable and commoditized or pricing as possible for chainless because that would greatly help with the development effort. On the validator side, we understood the burden of having to instantaneously validate as many chain lits as the developers are requesting. As long as they can pay for them. So even if a validator says, yes, please give me all your chain leads. It is obviously a huge undertaking in terms of the hardware. And the maintenance and all of that. So this was a way to help out the developers and make sure that they were getting me what they expected out of the system. But in terms of metering for the validators, this was also going to be very helpful. So this is how we designed the system. To make sure that we were taking care of both parties. So for validators, every epic, which is about a day, they enter into this musical chairs auction. So musical chairs, you all know how it works. It's a party game. Y'all have a set of chairs and you stand up, you walk around the circle of chairs, music is playing this whole time. When the music stops, you got to sit down and find a chair. If you don't have a chair, you're out of the game. So it's the same idea here. Every epic validator is enter into this musical chairs auction. And they post their price for what they will accept to secure a chain lit. Now, the lowest set of prices is going to win that auction. So all the validators who posted those lowest enterprises, they are in the active set. Now which of those is the actual chain led price that gets quoted to the developer. It is the highest price in that set. So if you are that validator that bid the highest price that you get exactly what you asked for, if you bid lower than that, then you get additional margin on top of what you would have already probably baked into your bid. And so it's a nice additional profit for you. So that's the winning set of validators. Now, if you bid higher than the winning set, then you are out of that active set of validators for that particular epic. And that is one way in which we're trying to encourage the validators to really bid their true value and trust of what they would accept. For securing a chain lit. And yes, the whole point of this mechanism is to get that price down as much as possible. And that's how it benefits the developer's side for the developer. They need to know exactly what they're going to be paying for each particular epic for keeping a chain led alive. But they also, I mean, obviously everyone wants a lower price in that case. And this auction mechanism is our way of trying to get to that as much as possible. I mean, further down the line, we fully anticipate that it is going to get cheaper and cheaper as hardware improves for validator services as our validator set expands. And as we start to do some sort of optimization in the system, then I think that's how we'll get the cost down for all these validators even further and then hopefully that will drive the price down for chainless overall. That's how the mechanism works. Right, that's cool. I think actually, I think sui actually has some sort of auction to where you actually set the gas price for an epoch. I guess in your case, it's more what the validators get paid, but in their case it's the gas price. So it seems like validators will have to become a bit more involved. In this sort of like economic setting, which is interesting, if that will work, I mean, we've been running the graph for a while, which also has sort of the system of, oh, you have to allocate your stake to certain subgraphs to optimally get the right rewards. I think it's interesting to see that this sort of becomes a differentiator or thing that's validators need to do. But yeah, so that's interesting. But there's still sort of delegation and commission rates for validators. But essentially, you're deciding what all these chains would pay and then that pool of the money from the chain layers will be redirected to the validators as a sort of part of their earnings. Yes, that's exactly right. So all the usual ways in which validators get compensated in a proof of stake system, those will still hold. So there will be delegation to the validators. There is a commission that the validators will charge in terms of staking rewards inflation in particular. Those rewards will also go to validators. So the chain lit fee is actually on top of all that. So we have anticipated scenarios where, say you are a larger validator and you just you want to guarantee your replace in that set and you have the economic means to do that, then you just bid zero. You offer that security for free. And you just rely on all the rewards that you're getting from the saga protocol for being a validator. I mean, we have contemplated that scenario. Now, of course, I mean, we do have the whole slashing mechanism. So if anything should go wrong and validate our operations, then obviously there are consequences there. But yeah, that's those are some of the corner cases that we started to contemplate with respect to validator behavior. So it's sort of also, I guess, a bit of a civil resistance thing that you charge a fee for the chain led right, or I guess there's some sort of, is there a limit? How many trailers there can be? Are you setting this at saga main level? Sort of, okay, we can only have a thousand chalets, or is it sort of let's go wild? Yeah, yeah. You can stand up as many chainless as you like, as long as you paid for them. That's a criteria. You got to pay for them. So for somebody who is looking to stand up a chain led, so we don't allow for that unless you actually have saga tokens in an escrow account on our system. So as soon as you instantiate that chain, and that chain letter is running, it's being kept alive, then we will withdraw those saga tokens from your account. So you can't just come to our system and say, you know, give me 10,000 chain leads. They're payment is due. I'm pretty immediately. So that's the way that we prevent the system from getting in touch. But in terms of civil, I think the way that we spent probably about 6 months on this auction mechanism, like designing all the ins and outs of it, our current paper goes through the whole mechanism, but in terms of the actual numbers that we assign to all the various levers in the mechanism, that is taking a long time to come up with.

"Will, do you think we're never going to see those heady days of all L ones pumping such as we saw with Solana Luna avalanche, the famous salon of axe trade from a while ago? Yeah, we'll get to that in a second. First of all, I gotta say, I think you might have beaten Wendy's backdrop in terms of who was the coolest backdrop on the show these days. A bookcase look at NASA, when do you got to up it up a little bit? Jen's always in third place and then of course, in the last place. So that's where it is. At least you put yourself last. Yeah, I mean, it's true. I'm like in a prison cell over here. I need to decorate a little bit, but I'm 26. That's not my specialty. So let's just forget about it. Let's talk about this whole tray here. App toast, like you said, Zach had a terrible launch, like a terrible launch, like marketing PR. They had so much behind this. They put so much money into it. And it popped immediately. There's a lot of negativity around the token allocation to the foundation and think about a billion tokens were allocated totally for an entire token ecosystem in half went to the foundation. So a lot of money just to foundation. They pushed back against that, saying, in comparison to other token projects, the percentage was actually quite fair. Take your own piece on that, that's always going to be an argument if you're going to do some sort of pre mine. But in terms of the timing also terrible right before FTX, we know that a lot of these teams actually have some connections without me to research and FTX. Aptos and sui were basically two competing brands coming out at the same time and of a bull market. Really in the middle of a bear market at that point. And it's a hard time to launch a layer one network. We have seen that work in the past, avalanche, Solana, Luna, a lot of these tokens were launched during the last bear market. And they did well during the bull market. They did do well, but they also sort of crashed afterwards, right? There wasn't any sustainability like we've seen with Ethereum, which really has gone to his next set of legs

Amber Athey: The Benefits of Having a Dynamic Political Party
"After Ronald Reagan won two terms and George H. W. Bush won the presidency there was a major schism in the Democrat party about pulling the Democrats back from the center and away from the left which of course pissed off progressives which resulted in the squad who took years to wrench the party back from the centrists and over to the left My point in this whole thing is he schisms are natural They happen in both parties and we shouldn't brace them if we're moving in a better direction And I found it weird because baker acknowledges in the piece that the rules changes are probably a pretty good thing but he objects to the schism acting like this is like sui generis to Republicans and it's not Both parties go through this I think that's exactly right I mean it requires a short memory to say that I think recently the Democrats have been very unified and they've managed to do so by painting every political enemy of theirs as someone who was a unique threat to democracy or some of these other hyperboles that they said they throw out But I would much rather have the alternative of a party that is dynamic that is having these important political and ideological debates to make sure that they're on the right side of things And considering how much Trump himself injected into the debate over the future of the Republican Party in 2016 And his supporters and voters and what they stood for this debate has to happen And I'm somewhat regret that it has to be done publicly but if the case is that Kevin McCarthy is thinking he's going to coast into the speaker position and the freedom caucus is going to be on board and they couldn't get whatever concessions they wanted behind closed doors and putting pressure on publicly and getting the support of their constituents Against McCarthy unless he gives them this list of really great concessions in my opinion Then that's what had to be done And the outcome really speaks for itself

"Sure. A piece of red cloth by sui Jin was an anthem for thousands of protesting students and workers. In the spring of 1989, suijin performed it live at the demonstrators unofficial headquarters. Tiananmen Square, in Beijing. Hundreds of thousands of people are trying to win chorus, long live democracy, calling for the movement to continue to the end as cheering and clapping. What an extraordinary atmosphere. These people are on the crest of a wave. James miles was there reporting for the BBC. These days, he's a colleague of mine at The Economist. In 1989, it did seem or would have seemed from the point of view of leaders in zhongnanhai, the party compound that the parties survival was at stake. Some Genie had been let out of the bottle that without some massive show of force would be very hard indeed to put back in again. The party itself was divided between those who wanted to take a hard line and those more supportive of the students. And if any party leaders publicly sided with the students against the party, that could bring it down entirely. So China's leader, Deng Xiaoping, made a decision. He put the most prominent official who was sympathetic to the students under house arrest, and sent in the army. There are hundreds of people running past me here. He just opened

"Interesting rays in the crypto space missed and labs, which is developing the sui blockchain, raised a $300 million series B led by FTX at a greater than $2 billion valuation. All 5 founders of missed in labs worked at meta's crypto unit before that was folded up. Quoting the block. Is the creator of sui, a yet to launch proof of stake layer one blockchain that is built to mount a challenge to the likes of Ethereum and Solana. The startups cofounder and CEO Evan Chang, who was head of research and development at metas crypto while at nova financial until September last year told the block in an interview that missed an Ames quote to bring about consumer adoption, mass adoption. We focus a lot on designing an architecture that is completely different that allows us to horizontally scale the capacity of the blockchain, he said. Mistons $300 million series B round was led by FTX ventures, the venture arm of Sam bankman fried's crypto exchange. Other investors in the round include andreessen Horowitz's a 16 Z crypto unit, which invested 36 million in missed in December last year. All 5 of Missouri founders worked on meta's crypto initiatives. Chief technology officer Sam blackshire was a principal engineer at novae and is credited with creating move, the coding language used by both sui and meta's ill fated blockchain DM formerly known as Libra. Mistons chief product officer is former nova product lead at yeni abiodun, chief cryptographer, Costa cryptos, held the same role at meta, and chief scientist George Denis also worked on novae and diem. Today's announcement comes just a few months after aptos and other blockchain devised by former meta executives that uses move, topped up its coffers with a $150 million round bringing its total capital raise this year to 350 million. The pair are seen as the next wave of layer one blockchains and challengers to predecessors such as Ethereum, Solana, and avalanche. Their challenge will be to lure crypto projects and developers over to their platforms and away from incumbents. Jang hopes that a fresh take on processing crypto transactions will be the key to sweep success. All the blockchains today basically process transactions as groups, he said, a method defined as head of line blocking. We're the only one that takes a completely different approach. Chang liking the way blockchain's process transactions to boarding a train in the current model, he said, you wait for everyone to get on before you get moved. On sui, there are a greater number of cars available to transport groups bound for the same destination. The technical term for this is intra validator sharding in blockchain systems, the validators are the parties that verify transactions and proof of stake models, they lock up tokens on the network in exchange for the chance to validate new transactions and earn rewards. Missed in hopes that this and other innovations will give sui the ability to scale throughput and storage in line with demand from developers and apps while keeping transaction costs low, per the release. DM was purposely built for payments, said Chang, we went to take that a step further. How can we make asset transfer or programming of assets as easy as manipulating data or transferring data basically? So that requires us to take a big step forward beyond the DM vision end quote.

It's a tradeoff. You decide what's more important to you. And I really feel I was born to do this. I really feel that this has been my focus and my priority. And each time when there were life choices, I wanted to just continue being a fashion designer. I think that, you know, what keeps me going is finding a beautiful fabric. I'm like, I'm like a magpie that sees silver. It's like suddenly, oh, this is all I can see. And all I can think about is what I'm going to make out of it. It's just how I'm wired.

"Since you are trying to New Yorker, I wanted your opinion on just the sense of obviously this is been such a place for being a hub of style. Do you feel like when people say New York is very different after the pandemic or the New York is dead? What do you feel like the city still has to offer? And I think specifically younger designers because so much in manufacturing and being designer here in New York has changed. You know, don't forget, I came to New York in the 70s when it was bombed out, burned out. I mean, the economy was horrible. He's a garbage strike. But it was the most exciting time of my life. You know, like coming to this new city, seeing this whole underground culture. And I think that there's a similar thing going on now. We're in the area on the lower east side, dime square area. There's all those new boutiques. There's all these new designers that are doing pop ups down there or selling to some of the stores down there like cafe saga or designers like Emily bode. There's a lot of excitement. And it reminds me very much of like when I first started that there are just so resourceful figuring out how to get textiles and having somebody sell these small lots of clothes and gradually trying to grow their business. How did you keep your passion for dressing and wanting to get dressed during pandemic times or did you wear a sweatpants? No, no. I love getting dressed up. I mean, I come to the office every day with a dress and makeup and jewelry and boots and you know, I mean, I'm dressed like runway every day. So I love that. So I mean, the most casual I get is maybe I wear a pair of sneakers with my outfit. But that's only because it's like cool looking, not because I wear sneakers. I'm just much more formal, I guess. And in fact, during the pandemic time I thought, I don't have anything to wear. I don't have sweatpants or and I would see all these women in my neighborhood walking around in tie dye tie dye sweatpants and sweatshirts, and I think, no, I can't do it. I just can't do it. So I never did that. Did you feel differently about not having an actual physical show and having to present digitally or just having to get your workout on social media, et cetera, instead of the traditional ways of presentations and shows and appointments? Yeah, I mean, I love doing shows. Like to me, I think I give a good show, but when that happened at the same time, I have three of my nieces and two of my nephews that have moved to New York. And one of two of them were very interested in film. So we started talking about a video and they actually produced a video for me. And this last season, again, we produced a video. And it's just so much fun working with them. It's so much fun getting their input. And it's just kind of like learning a new medium to express yourself. And you can kind of control it even more because you can direct the models to do what you want them to do. On the runway, it's just like, once they're out there, you don't control it anymore. Yeah. So what are you excited to see now that things are getting back to more of a quote unquote normal show schedule all of that? What are you excited to see? I mean, I remember the first time I went out to dinner when in the spring last year when things started easing up and people started going out again. And it was outdoor dining. And I remember being at one of my favorite restaurants, French and I thought I was going to get whiplash because I kept looking at what everybody was wearing and there were so many girls dressed in so many great dresses and there was fashion going on. And it was just, it was so exciting to see again and you couldn't wait to see what shoes they were wearing, what kind of jewelry you know, it was just like, that's the fun of getting dressed up. It's like a secret language, a secret vocabulary where you're expressing yourself. Yeah. I really want to do this episode with you because I think that you have something that many designers do not have, which is longevity. You've been in the industry for so long. I know you've seen a 100 million more than me, but I've seen so many designers come and go. And it's really amazing to see someone grow and evolve over time. What has been your secret? I think Coco Chanel gave us all the secret. You need a perfume. Like, clothes you can not make money. I don't care how much you try, unless you maybe make the same jeans over and over again. The same shirt over and over again. But when you're doing a collection and you're making new patterns every season, it's very difficult. So I think that my license products are what have kept me in business all these years. Like the cosmetics and the fragrance, once they became global, once they kind of really got a huge audience, that's really what carries my business. So I wanted to also talk about when you say you're sticking to your guns, I think, also, how have you been able to trust your own vision overall these years? Because I think that especially here in New York, I feel like there's so many different kinds of inspiration. How do you trust your own vision? How do you trust and say, this is what I'm going after. This is what I'm going to do after all this time and knowing whether you got a good review, bad review, whether sales were good or bad, that you were still going to stick to what you wanted to do. Yeah, I mean, I can't help myself. It's really just how it comes out. Even when I'm trying to do minimalist or I'm trying to do tailored, it comes out like Anna sui. I don't know what happens. It's just like I intentionally try to do something. I'm surprised you've ever even tried to de minimalist. That doesn't even seem like something you would want to do. Yeah, look at some of my collections. You'll see. It's there. It's there. Even there's one that people post all the time. I think it's like 95 spring 95, and it's all the supermodels in these very, very little shiny dresses. That's all they're wearing. Is that dress and a pair of shoes? There's no accessories on top. You know, there's Kate moss. There's shalom. There's amber. They're all wearing these like shiny dresses that are halters and cut out. I mean, very much like what's going on right now. Yeah. So how do you find fresh inspiration since you've been doing this for so long after 40 years? How do you still do you still feel like you naturally have the hunger and just you just get up and you're like, I have all these ideas or I mean, I love clothes. I mean, the first thing I do when I wake up is I look at all the shopping websites, what's new on matches? What's new on motor operand? I love clothes. I can't wait to see the new fashion shows. That's, again, the next thing I look at is what new things are Vogue for runway. What's the latest show? I love shopping, and I love fabric. So it's really when I see the fabric, I can almost see the clothes. So, you know, I'm fortunate enough to be able to be able to create a lot of my own fabrics and prints and things. But that wasn't always the case. I'd have to find it. And then I'd have to envision what it was going to be. But now I can kind of create it, but I still really enjoy shopping and looking and discovering new things. And just one thing always leads to another. And same with the research. I love learning about new things. And I love learning about them and then talking about them or showing them off. And that's what to me is what my creation is. I think you can definitely tell in your work because and I can feel that joy and optimism and that sense of curiosity around things. And so that's amazing that you've been able to sustain that. And I think a lot of young designers will probably listen to this and wonder how does she keep being so optimistic for so long? How did she keep surviving throughout being a designer throughout the ups and downs? And I would love to hear from you of how you've been able to overcome things despite feeling challenged despite pandemic, despite financial.

"Beginning, when I started my own company, that was all dead stock. But we didn't call it that. It was just like what was available. And there used to be some fabric stores on the lower east side. And I would go and find fabrics and make sure that they had 20 yards or 50 yards, and then we would sell that. And then I'd find more. It's kind of very similar to how a lot of new designers are working. But it was just being resourceful because I couldn't afford to do the fabric minimum set the larger companies were requiring. Then as my business grew, I started going back to some of those larger companies. And the trick was to get to meet the owner. And usually the owner took a shine to me because they saw how hard I was working, how interested I was in their fabric development. And then they would always do me a favor and extend credit for me. But it took a lot of schmoozing, like you had to really, really get to meet the right people and get to show them how earnest you were about working with them and developing things with them. How does sustainability factor into your work today since you've been you were ahead of the times and doing this for so long? How are you consciously thinking about it now? Yeah, I mean, it's always been on my mind because it never made sense to me to design something, send the specs over to China and have them send you the sample. You make corrections and send it back. Like all of that is just so much air flights. You know, it's like it's crazy where we do everything here. Like that's the only way I know how to do clothes. We have the design room here. We draped the pattern here, cut to order. We're not making, you know, 500 pieces, and then hoping they're going to sell, and then if you have 200 pieces left over, you dump them somewhere. That's not how my business is set up. We make to order. So, you know, when we show the collection, then we spend the next month, month and a half in market, selling it, and then we order the fabric, and then we make the clothing. So there's very little waste that way. And we recycle a lot of our patterns too, because so many styles are coming back. So many requests for the stylus from the 90s have been coming through, you know, I did a small capsule collection with Marc Jacobs for his store when he redid his grunge collection because he had never even shipped his grunge collection because he got fired and they never produced it. So he had reproduced his Grinch collection for his Madison Avenue store and invited me to produce some of my grunge collection alongside. I did something for opening ceremony that way also. So I think that there's just such an interest like so many people are so interested in fashion from the 90s or from the 2000s. I was going to ask you, do you have a favorite show from the 90s or from the past couple of decades? Yourself or someone else's that always inspires you that you like to look back at? Well, I mean, yeah, I mean, that's a big question. You know, of course, I think my favorite show is my first show because that seemed to be like the impossible dream. I never dreamt that I could compete on a world level on global level, have these famous fashion models, and all of that happened. My friend Steven maisel helped me a lot. I knew a lot of the models socially, but I had never worked with them. And when he kind of pushed me into doing my first show in 1991, Linda and Naomi helped me get all the other models. Steven introduced me to Francois anonymous who did the makeup and garen, who did the hair, and to this day I still work with Garrett. Midstream, I switched from Francois to pat McGrath. And I've worked with her for the last 20 years. So, I mean, I never dreamt that back then, but it just kind of, again, organically happened. When I think of springtime, I think about it being the best time to move forward, a fresh start, and have such an excitement about what's to come. So as you emerge into the new season, sex dot com has you covered with the best spring fashion.

"Hi, Anna. Thank you again for doing this. I really appreciate it. Oh, of course, I'm so excited. So let's go back to early years. What designers or models did you idolize growing up? And what really drove you to become a designer and moved to New York and all of those things? Yeah, well, I mean, I came to New York when I was about four and I was the flower grow up my aunt and uncle's wedding. So when I got back to Michigan, I told my parents that when I grow up, I want to move to New York and become a fashion designer. It took me a lot of time to figure out what that meant and how to do that. And one of the things was fashion magazines. So I asked for a subscription to Vogue and then I had a babysitter that had 17 magazine. And so many things that even to this day that resonate with me were from those early days of looking at fashion magazines. In fact, I was just in Florida at Fort Lauderdale where the museum had my exhibition, the world of Anna sui. And I did a conversation with Barbara who and Nicki, who was the designer of Bebo. And when I was a kid, I saw beba in 17 magazine, and they had like 6 pages of their clothes, and you could buy the patterns. They were made by McCall's. So I got the patterns I made the clothes. And I was so excited in my adult life to actually meet biba and get to ask her all these questions about those patterns and all that came about, but also I saw an article in Life magazine about two young ladies so went to Parsons school of design. And I thought, okay, I have to go to Parsons because that's where designers go, and in the art of they talked about how Elizabeth Taylor opened a boutique for them. So I thought, okay, so I have to go to Parsons and then I'll be able to become fashion designer. So I wrote to Parsons, got the registration catalog, and kind of geared my whole education so that I would have the portfolio, the grade point average, everything that I needed to get into Parsons. Yeah. I mean, what was it like to coming of age during that time, whether seeing all the different styles and trends from that era, I feel like everything that's old comes back, what was it like during that time? Yeah, I mean, American fashion was very different than because it was very American and very accessible. So our local department store had the fashions that were in those magazines. It wasn't like you had to go to New York or to LA to find those designs. We had them in the department store in Detroit. Everything was available and affordable. You know, it wasn't like we didn't have that other level of like designer clothes from Europe. It was designer clothes that were made for the American market. So it was kind of a different thing. Everything was accessible. And when I came to New York and went to Parsons, I actually didn't finish because I overheard two young ladies talking about a job that was available and I ran up there because I had read about this designer in 17 magazine and also in some other fashion magazines and I got the job and back then they were lots and lots and lots of jobs because clothing was made here, all the clothing makers were all in this area. The garment center, there were thousands of companies, and thousands of jobs. But I was really lucky because I got hired as a designer, not an assistant designer, not as an assistant. She gave me my own design room. And I could create clothes for the four different divisions that the company had. So it was a great, great introduction into the industry. And I just learned so much because she was a really tough boss, too. Very, very, very demanding. But I think that was the best training I ever had. What would you say you miss most about those times? I think the fact that fabric was made in the USA that all the clothes were available to buy, there was a whole infrastructure of support between designers, design companies, and buyers, and department stores. When I started my own collection, the way I started was I did a small collection of clothes because I had some friends that this is during the punk rock time and they did really cool punk rock jewelry and they were doing what was called the boutique show and they were selling all these great stores all across country. And I said, oh, that sounds like so much fun. I want to do that too. And so they said, well, why don't you make a small collection, and you could share the booth with us, which is what I ended up doing. And but in at the boutique show, I ended up getting orders from Macy's and Bloomingdale's, which were the two very fashion forward stores at that time. And back then they had fashion directors who were always looking for new young designers that were doing something different. And they had a budget for them to have your own little area in the department, like right at right at the top of where the escalators land on the floor. They were called swing shops and they would do different themes. And so the first theme was kind of new wave, and I had done this very new wave collection. And so that's how I ended up getting The New York Times ad, which got me fired from my regular job. But it worked out okay. Yeah, but of course it was scary at the time because, you know, with a $300 paycheck, you have to start a business, it's just kind of unheard of, but that's how I started my business. What do you feel like was the biggest hurdle in starting your business? Did you feel like it was financial or just figuring out all of the parts? It's always been money. Yeah, it's always been money. Yeah, because every penny that you make, you have to put right back into the business. And as your business grows, you need more capital. So I ended up doing a lot of freelance. I freelanced in Italy for 7 years, jumping on the plane every two weeks and going to Italy to work at other companies to help finance my collection. So, but I think, again, one of the great things that happened out of doing all the freelance in Italy is not only did I learn the textile market there, but it also gave me the courage to work internationally anywhere because I didn't speak Italian and during those years towards the end of the 90s, I started getting pursued by all the Japanese. In the 90s, you famously turned to grunge for inspiration. You were freelancing for all these companies, how are you able to balance all of that? Did you feel like you had personally and creatively come into your own? I've never felt that. So that's not a phrase that I use. Yeah. It probably wasn't even until we did our exhibition that we even looked back at the accomplishment. So everything, you know, when you're working on a collection, you're also working on production of the previous collection and you're thinking about plans for the following collection. So you never really you never really stopped in one place thinking like, oh, that was great. You know, you just constantly running. A lot of your work you talked about using a lot of different materials, mixing a lot of different things. Obviously, now this is something to be able to do conversation is fashion is really popular. And in that sense, you were ahead of the times and really finding different materials and sourcing what first drew you to using different textiles and finding different ways to source materials. Well, in the very.

Speaker Newt Gingrich Pinpoints the Watershed Moment in Glenn Youngkin's Campaign
"Speaking English as a resident of Virginia, I am, of course, buoyed. I am very excited by the recent victory of Glenn young of his lieutenant governor of his attorney general. What is, can we read a broader significance into this for next year and for 2024 or is it rather sui generous as a resident of the Commonwealth, I look at what happened here. And I see a businessman not unlike president Trump with no political background. He brought a business like attitude to the campaign, talked about getting Virginia back to work. But in the last few weeks, because of those mothers you mentioned at the school boards, he very adroitly pivoted to this culture war issue of fighting critical race theory and vowed to ban it on his first day in office. Is that a model or should Virginia be dealt with this as something unique? No, I think I watched lens campaign closely and talked frequently with his campaign manager. And I believe that the turning point of the campaign actually was when he went to a loudon county rally of a thousand people who were upset about the schools, and then in the debate when former governor Terry mcauliffe said that there was no place for parents in schools, and that was electrifying and as you pointed out Glen is a businessman and built a good campaign team and they actually had something up on the air. By the next morning. And just throw home for everybody in Virginia, the term of thought that there was no place for parents and schools. And that, I think became the signal moment that began to change everything. No, young can also did a very adroit job of having Trump's help in rural and southern Virginia where he's extraordinarily popular without having Trump campaign in Arlington and fairfax county where he's unpopular. And so junkin was able to pick up all the support in the suburban counties from people who were upset about the schools while picking up all the support in rural and small town Virginia from everybody who was pro

Explains why sitting by some estimates. It's what we do for nearly eleven day and is very likely what you're doing right now while this number is high. It's hardly surprising. As our world is built for sitting from our cars to our couches and everywhere in between sitting is the posture of choice. Unfortunately this sitting is also giving us diabetes cancer heart disease hypertension and is ultimately killing a sooner even if we are being physically active excessive sitting still impacts our health but all sitting the same to our bodies yes more sitting means more negative health consequences but not all sitting may make us feel the same way our mood and our life satisfaction together referred to as subjective wellbeing is impacted. Not only by how much sitting we are doing but by what we are doing when we are sitting for example sitting while enjoying good company or a delicious meal is likely to be more pleasurable and rewarding experience than sitting in morning. Traffic generally though less sitting is always better even those who were regularly active demonstrate benefits to their subjective wellbeing from sitting less.

Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar
"Me to talk about barbara star. Is rachel sign a staff writer for the new yorker. Hey rachel her so thanks for joining me for this one. I really was excited to talk about this one with you because you wrote something about it a little view in appreciation of it for the new yorker that i really love and i felt really tapped into some of the things that are special about this movie. I'm going to read a tiny bit of it back to you. Maybe that can inspire conversation so this comes early in what you're writing about it when you talk about the transition from what i would think of as the setup the first twenty minutes or so where we beat barbara starr in their hometown of soft rot nebraska and how it then it then transitions to town of title of vista del. Mar in florida. And so you're right. There solid jokes from the get-go but it's not clear right away. What the movie is up to our. Wigan molo denizens of los angeles where they first met as part of the l. Sketch comedy troupe. The groundlings taking the piss out of flyover over forties then skipping ahead of bit is talking about the the that transition you say but as barbara starr unfolds. It's quirky heroines fuel. Less and less like stand ins for certain kind of tj maxx shopper. Instead the film goes for something far more specific and silly loving often lovely. Where so many comedies are either retreads old ideas or feel designed by committee to hit newsy talking points. Barbara starr is the rare film. That feels sue generous in both conceit an execution barbara starr or such finely drawn characters that they could be nobody else but themselves so that really spoke to me and exactly what i love about this movie and this was going to frame it to you. Is that this movie gets compared a lot to bridesmaids which of course was written by the the co writers and co stars of this movie and malone christian wig and another movie that sprung to mind was spy which is this wild sort of a spoof of james bond films. That's also a female friendship bonding movie with incredible performances by melissa mccarthy and rose byrne i love both bridesmaids an spy but i found this movie far more original than either one and in a way more exciting i mean i can see why bridesmaids changed comedy history. It's an important movie. it's still a very funny movie. But this sui generis quality that you point to i think is is so much more vibrant in this movie which really could only have come out of the imaginations of these two women who are friends in real

Breach of the Week
"With justin justin. What's up what's happening here with another breach of the week. Fragments fragment fred delman freshman recommend sui delray ernst and luck now we Is a law firm that specializes in immigration law. And they were contracted by google to do. I nine identity verification. Your i nine. Is your your documents that you have to submit When you get hired to prove you're a either national or us whatever you're sort of immigration status so that you can be legally employed in the united states and in that process you share really sensitive information like passports id's You know birth certificates. Basically the whole purpose of the i nine is to prove who you are. And so these this law firm basically got whacked and it doesn't really say there's not a whole lot of specific information but the files were a supposedly stored in it was single file. That had a bunch of information in it. it doesn't say how they got it or or what was actually in there and in fact we found the letter of the breach that the attorney or the law firm sent to folks bud which was posted on the state of california website. Yeah because i think in i mean so it hosted the template yes example that was sent out the impact. Now through the attorney. General's office in california. So yes i guess just just reading what happened. Yeah right so. We recently became aware of suspicious activity within our computer network while our investigation is ongoing. We have discovered that an authorized third party. Aker he access to a single file. Aiding personal information leading to i nine employment. Verification services is file contain personal information for a discrete number of google irs. Informal googlers hooting. You personally yes so not a lot. No and it sounds like it was again. I mean they specifically say a single file which again so they probably had a shared drive. Set up with all the stuff. Just you know. Some folder loaded up with information. Or you know. I or a database of some sort but either way like this that's super compromising data and i mean we say so if someone has unauthorized access. They're pretty has unauthorized access. I don't have it just to a file right there in there somehow director right exactly where unless it does beg the question me. This was insider. You know like the guy got fired. And he's like all right puts us drive in loads file up. It's been real or you just kind of thumbing through the file names. This one looks interesting and this is This was akin to recollecting the pm Breach because of just the the fact that you're you've got in some cases so it again. I don't think it says when these files referral because there's current and past but again we're in the middle of a pandemic so a lot of people are using digital versions of this other scanning id's scanning birth certificates and then sending them to do employment verification and depending on how these how this law firm handles that could be the emailed it and then the person just like drags the attachment folder into the file. And that's how they do it But i remember chrysler with an i nine. You're supposed to like verify these things in person right so they've modified because you can't especially like if you're remote how would you. How would you do that. I don't know i'm shrugging and you know again. It's one of those situations where i mean. If you work for google would well. I don't know that's not true because there's all kinds of people to work google. They're not all exactly. That's honestly probably would have been the better scenario here. Maybe it's just the everyone's dragging it into google. The free google drive document but good news. Free identity theft protection jackpot nail. That which just got it from

Basically he played from july sui a the very end of july and then he played about four months from july to november. After taking only only two months. So hit i mean he really does a very quick retirement Unfortunate to see. But i think this could be one of those like okay. Maybe i'll come back like knows right to return the first place now.

Join just for more home in Berkeley California. Thanks so much for being with us. Thanks so much for having me Scott. You begin with an amazing story about a man whose name I will not chance to even try and say March Eleven nineteen eighty-four what happened on this planet. Good Liquor Thorson. He's an Icelandic fishermen and fishing trawler with his crew. It's calm waters it's cold it's forty one degrees and the boat overturns with forty one degree water within twenty to thirty minutes we die from hypothermia but he did not everyone else did and he ended up swimming six hours and when he finally got to the hospital the doctors weren't able to discern his heartbeat or read his temperature on the thermometer but he didn't show any signs of hypothermia and he was only a little bit dehydrated. He was a strong swimmer certainly but was he also saved by his own biology. He was like the story very much. Because it is this the distillation of what makes swimming so special for humans. We have to learn how to swim. we're not born knowing how to do it instinctively and yet there are sort of traces of that evolutionary past still within us that our evolutionary past that came from the sea and so with good liquor for. Thorson turns out that his body fat was two to three times normal human thickness and more solid and so he resembled a Marine Mammal. More than terrestrial mammal. And that saved him. Did you grow up feeling? Pull into the even. If it was only Jones Beach in New York I did. I mean my family origin story is at my parents met no swimming pool in Hong Kong. We grew up with swimming family and so we grew up at Jones beach in the pool. Lifeguards swim team. I just always remember feeling more comfortable and happy in the water actually than on land. I mean there's just a sense of magic that you get from being in the water and buoyancy that you just don't have on land you in this book talk to swimmers all over the world right nearby you though you you swim San Francisco Bay without a wet suit and there are people including I gather you who believe that's actually good for you in all ways it can be.

Was you know jumping in cold? Water was good for you and jumping in hot water and then jumping into cold water and so we didn't know why exactly in the science kinda starting to catch up. What is this Brown fat you talk about in this book. Well this was really interesting. I did not know about Brown fat until I started swimming with a Dolphin Club swimmers in San Francisco Bay and so I went to ucsf to talk to the foremost researchers in Brown fat and it turns out that mammals are born with two kinds of white fat which we all know about the energy stores of our bodies and Brown fat which actually Burns and produces heat energy. We kind of start to lose it as we get older but there are ways to do what's called the Browning of white fat which is to kind of turn it into energy burning tissue. That fat is called Beige Fat. And so what? Kind of encourages. The development of beige fat is cold water exposure and exercise among other things. But those have been proven to be causing this change in our bodies. Wonder if you have any words for people who aren't able to swim these days you know. The water is a draw for us no matter what and so even if you can't get in the water if you can walk near it can look at.

You being intimately involved in the overturning of the Coronado to indicated by Ashi end the convictions node. The history in intimately well. What kind of parallels did you see that in your mind in your team's mind Signaled the fact that the travel ban against Muslims and a lot of refugees as well is literally in your organization's word repeating history. We were enormously disappointed and angered by. The court's decision was cited by five to four majority. So there was a divided and we thought it was an opportunity for the court to once and for all reverse in truth. Komatsu versus the United States. Judge Chief Justice Roberts did provide lip service have met decision basically saying the core mottes who was wrong. The day was decided but in the same breath join the majority polling the travel ban which in our mind reinforced the worst and most dangerous aspects of Karma swoop versus the United States which was when the executive branch the president invokes. National Security. Courts will stand down. They'll abdicate their traditional constitutional role of being a check and balance on the presidency. And the problem with that is when you have an executive branch which is gone rogue and would certainly happened in nineteen forty two and it's happening now. It opens the door for tremendous abuse of power in the lesson of monsoon. Is that when there is no check and balance The temptation for political leaders to Fabricate facts to misrepresent Epa evidence in order to manipulate the outcome of in this case Major Supreme Court cases that temptation becomes irresistible and the founders of this country certainly understood that every high school civics students knows that we have three branches of government. We have executive branch the Presidency the legislative branch. Which is Congress and the judiciary the cords? Each are coequal each. You're supposed to be a check and balance on the other and the genius of the system was it was really designed to thwart the rise of kings in tyrants and when those systems fail as they did for Japanese Americans. This is how dictators get started. You have in this case of President. Exercising unfettered power and the consequences are severe. You have children being separated from their parents. You have a president who targets minorities whether they be immigrants muslim-serb refugees and the latest attacks are on Asian American specifically Chinese Americans by labeling a global pandemic as a quote Chinese virus and institutions are supposed to be check and balance on that kind of abuse and we see history repeating itself all over again. I want to dive in a little bit. Into the point you made about Fabricating Facts to litigate in front of Supreme Court which is pretty mind boggling for everyday citizens to even contemplate you know we generally hold the Supreme Court to pretty high esteem is the highest core of the land is the final. I call or final decider on a lot of highly controversial disputed issues but to your point people or government in this case in particular actually lied to the Supreme Court to get their position one. And you have a lot of experience with that in the overturning of the quartermaster case. I think that is essentially. What you your team discovered that lets you even the possibility that you could overturn the Supreme Court case which again too many people's minds that is the final decision right when the Supreme Court says something whether you decide whether you agree with it or not it is done but of course they are edge cases and exceptions to that. Could you tell us about? Maybe your experience overturning. The Komatsu case will was the discovery of that. Were the lies that were discovered that. Lets you guys even being able to do this? And then of course tying to what we are experiencing right now whether it's the Muslim ban or potentially other offer things can happen in the future. While thirty seven years after the fact the Supreme Court cases decided Komatsu here she knew. Sui In nineteen forty three and forty four thirty seven years after that secret intelligence reports were discovered by accident by researchers Peter Irons and Heiko Yoshinaga hurt sick. Which really all that. The government in order to manipulate the outcome of these landmark Supreme Court cases fabricated evidence and even burn them and despite the protestations of Department of Justice official soon attorneys who urged their superiors that they ought not to be lying to the Supreme Court to clarify. We did not over earned the decision. What happened was basically Before nearby she in ministry five the orders for this bass removal. They were charged and convicted with Criminal violations and Suffered criminal penalties and we reopen these cases. A writ of error was the only device reopen these ancient cases. That would've otherwise been time. Barred by this limitation isn't criminal writ calls rhetoric quorum notice which allows litigation to reopen their case to clear their name and doesn't give them any money as and give back the years that they lost. They can remove their criminal. Convictions we won on those. The government appealed their loss and then they withdrew their appeal in our system. Only the loser can appeal not the winner and so the the withdrawal of the appeal was a very strategic. Move to keep it out of the. Us Supreme Court And only the court supreme court can reverse itself now when the trump versus quiet case came up in twenty eighteen. That was an opportunity for the court squarely. Look at the facts Komatsu because there were very similar to the travel ban and actually reverse it reverse that case and sadly the court didn't take that

S. with last night because they know they have exposed in the losses will be on them even the state forces did not respond the regional malicious will take revenge for this assassination the streets of this district is called found around me seem particularly from lawn at the moment lasts not just by the January rains but by the us a mess the country's in politically and economically a lot of hand around me may sympathize with the resistance is cold here the predominantly Shia Muslim axis of Iran and his beloved another's and they may have been taken aback by general so the money's death but a lot of people here say that they have more pressing concerns the next meal the next bill if the children will ever get a job for Lebanese people the economic problem is the first it's a long time to change in the these off year without a few odd numbered that V. in the trouble there is hunger in the country there's no jobs there's no government no economy no fuel everything is collapsing here whatever happened to general soleil money even in the civil war we had an economy we didn't have homes are like this anyway the muscle hello and then an unusual maybe even unique voice in this neighborhood a man who can genuinely claim to have a foot in both camps the us that we not use his name on that but he was born in this district of Beirut spent the last forty three years living in the US and it's just back visiting B. fits walls flights going is and the U. us know that we can't get into that war if the US retaliates for the retaliation well a lot of trouble and believe me as an American I'm phase I wish we did not kill to let Matt because see they get the next guy Jesus Christ is ugly as hell Dublin there's a plenty of that god help us all you got to get to a point where you saved enough is enough you know so what are the chances that Lebanon through the political and paramilitary power of his beloved will get drawn into conflicts a man shall be is a good person to ask these a former government adviser and co founder of a lock button newspaper which describes itself is proudly pro resistance he's a man with deep ties to Hezbollah what was his reaction to the news last Friday that custom so the money had been killed well it was shocking I didn't think the Americans are going to go that far it worries me and I think it was a lot of people with thinking that this would start a war because of the important position of general awesome filet manning not only in the Italian army but also in the whole axis or for assistance in this part of the world do you still think a weak cone fix will start a war yes I think so and I think it it's already started the war but a different kind of war they would take their time but strategically it will hurt their enemy it would hurt the United States the recent missile attack by the Italians it was just an example and the thought of these type of for a confrontation but if that's the case I mean that was a missile attack that the American shrugged off yes the the the Americans the said that there's no Americans with kids winning the war is not about killing people it's about to destroying the objectives and the aspirations of your enemy and that is the strategic plan that the Iranians and Hezbollah and the host these and has to shop planning do you see Hezbollah having an active role in this war not just an active role but a leadership role S. S. federal Hezbollah has a proven in two thousand and six that it is capable of confronting one of the largest armies in the world that is the Israeli army has has will last but the price was tremendous and eleven yes yes well at is Hezbollah to blame for that the order is when it's it's not on the sort of trying to get beyond the question of blame maybe I am dealing too much email politique but if you're just looking not to whether this is a conflict that his rights will wrong I mean it's all very well to say has been on these to be on on the front line a leadership role in this but if the price is so high that the country is pulverized hi I just wonder is at a price worth paying in some instances one does not have a choice now if you do not respond this kind of continuous and murdering of leaders who are important leaders for the full front would continue that is another way of saying it so you're saying that because some sort of monies death was a red line was a triple yes yes I think it was them I think listen to them and it did not have a lot of security because nobody imagined that the Americans would actually cross that line and if there will be an Israeli involvement in other parts of the region to confront the Italian army then Hezbollah would be in position that it will to act we have already seen the Israeli army repeatedly bomb Iranian positions in Syria but not but that hasn't that is right for the money and so you think if the Israelis go after winning positions again in Syria so the money having being killed that that could be the changes for us is below is concise ink after the assassination of Jennifer Lai Manny the rules of engagement have changed the rules of engagement have changed a warning from Oman of shabiha journalists to co founder of a lot the newspaper and figure very close to senior people in the Hezbollah on one thing pretty much everyone is agreed here in Lebanon whether outright conflict is indeed coming or not this country is already reeling from political paralysis economic free full and popular

Fed cuts interest rates, signals it may not need to do more
"In Los Angeles. I'm Carl Rozelle Wednesday thirty one July today or as we like to call it around here the day everything changed okay not really I mean the Federal Reserve did cut interest rates today a quarter of a percentage point just like everybody had been guessing. I cut in more than ten years thirty seven hundred something days but still it's a lousy quarter point can on so again. I don't think asking about a quarter point is really the right question. Oh all right you tell me then Fed Chairman J. Paul what the right way to look at this is you have to look back over the course of the year and see the committee moving away from <hes> rate increases to neutral posture too now a rate cut K.. You see an in a Konami which is actually performing pretty well. Growth in the first half of this year is about the same as it wasn't all of eighteen and actually a little better than our our forecast for growth at the end of nineteen all right fair enough but look downsides. We also feel like weak. Global Growth and trade tensions are having effect on the U._S.. US economy well yeah but you'll know what you're doing right thing is there isn't a lot of experience in responding to global trade tensions. Oh so it it is a <hes> <hes> something that <hes> <hes> we haven't faced before and that we're learning by doing it. It is not it's not exactly the same as is watching global growth where you see growth weakening U._C.. Central banks and governments responding with fiscal policy and you see growth strengthening business cycle you had with with with trade tensions which do seem to be having significant effect on financial market conditions and on the economy they evolve in in a different way a translation here if I might the trump administration's trade policies are Sui Generis as economists like to say one of a kind and nobody is really sure what to do about bottom okay back the chair Paolo wrapping up. Thank you on heavy. Take your questions us to as it happens a lot of you emailed or tweeted at us because we asked you to you with questions about the Fed and what we all knew it was going to do today. Daniel Richards from Las Vegas Nevada spoke for many of you when he asked basically why he should care we got an economist once upon a time now a professor of economics at Hamilton College. We got her on the phone to explain the average American should care for a couple couple of reasons. The interest rates affect many different aspects of the economy that actually affect individuals directly one something that it will affect it will affect the cost of loans borrowing costs and especially mortgage rates consumer loan rates like auto loans and credit credit card loans. You should see a response in those rates <hes> directly in response to the Fed rate cut so they should care about borrowing costs but but they should also care more broadly on the impact on the economy it's going to affect the barring of businesses also and when their costs are lowered than they're are more likely to hire people and pay them more so there are a number of different ways that this could affect the average American J.. D. Hanson is from Miami. He got a bit more for technical wants to know about the Fed's inflation target two percent years. We remind you from time to time how asks Mr Anson did they pick that number so the Fed has articulated a longer term goal of two percent for inflation and it it's slightly different than actually having being a target which means that they have some level of commitment to achieving it. They're basically just telling people that this is what we're trying to achieve and and the reality is there is nothing magic about the two percent number. The most important thing about it is that the Fed consistently says that it's going to be two percent because that's what creates stability in the inflation rate but catch of course is the Fed consistently says it wants to percent consistently undershoots as we also tell you from time to time time
