China Bans Under-18s From Playing Online Games for More Than an Hour a Day
"The gaming banned for minors in china. Now obviously it's a little bit more complicated but it's also not entirely unexpected this new law supersedes twenty nine thousand nine rules that allowed ninety minutes per day and forbade playing between ten pm and eight. Am with the justification back then being that well kids shouldn't be playing too many video games and they shouldn't be up late such that will affect their schooling. Which is i mean fair enough. But whether that is the rule of the state or the role of the parent is something that i think a lot of people would disagree about The twentieth nineteen measures also limited minors monthly spending on games to a maximum of fifty seven. Which appears to be unchanged. This new policy also enforces a policy requiring game companies to require players. Real names when logging it. I mean imagine. Imagine having imagine giving up your minor data protection laws in order to make sure that those miners who companies are now by law collecting information from are not playing too many video. Games that's That's an interesting double edged sword right there. The press release on state media said it is indisputable that indulging online games effects normal study life and teens physical and mental health. I could see that young. Chinese gamers are lashing out at the new rules. One objection sexual consent. It fourteen at sixty and you can go to work but you have to be eighteen to play games. This is really a joke. Know good observation as well. I don't think. I could have put it better myself now to be clear. There's nothing that the chinese government can do to prevent minor from playing a single player game completely disconnected from the internet. If there was. I'm sure they would be trying to figure out how to do that. In fact my understanding is that functionality. Like that could end up being baked into game platforms like the chinese version of steam. So that if you are playing a single player offline game Could theoretically be enforced. But my understanding is there's no actual enforcement or attempt to enforce any kind of rule like that. This is mostly focused on online

"Hacking this is this is our life we every single thing in life we look at like. How could i break that. Howard i break out someone else break this and my friends and my family. When they're out with me like can you just turn it off for a second richest. Let's see let's have a nice relaxed thing on my but but hold on a so but that doesn't mean that i can't go have a good social time with people or that i'm constantly living in a state of fear and fact maybe it does the opposite because you become desensitized to a little bit and you just you know that. All this stuff's happening and becomes maybe a little less shocking. When you hear about it. But i think there's actually more positive than negative that comes out of that so for example because now just the way i look at my life all aspects of my life i i see systems and i see the way systems work and i can't help it. I cannot help but looking at the system works and say how could i make do something different. Like i don't really wait in line too much anymore. I mean there's lines all in asti but most people when they see a line they'll queue up right they'll be like oh i guess the line into the thing and i'll see the line and i'll be like well. I'm not gonna wait in that. So where's the. How do i get in our easier earlier. Faster or whatever. And that's fun for me and i don't wait in line is my so. I think that's a silver lining for sure that's really interesting. The related point here is as you build. These systems is your work primarily about securing or does it also coveting incident responses. Well our work is all about prevention. I really do a whole lot with incident response. So there's there's sort of the three domains there's more than this but there's sort of three ways thing about security. There's preventing things from happening detecting. The things have happened and then responding something has happened and my corner of the world this is prevention other times were pulled into incident response because we're so intimately familiar with the system and our customer asks to but you have to really build a business completely differently to be effective incident response then at the ethical hacking sign. They're really different. Models require different types of people. The service delivery models are really different. So we're more on the prevention side so for prevention. This also kind of segues into your book where. I'm assuming that the book is a collection of your experience time and you're trying to put it all in a model in a way that somebody else can also learn from but is it possible at all to have a knowledge base of these things with so many things changing. And how would one get introduced to this. I'm sure your book will help them. But what does one do after reading the book. Yeah so there's a question within your question which is essentially. How do you write a book about technology that stays relevant given the technology changes really fast. And so what. I intentionally did was. I did not want to write the book that was the. Here's the how to guide on how to write this tool the twenty nine thousand nine addition or whatever i. I didn't think i didn't want to solve that problem. The problem i wanted to solve was how does an organization who is actively trying to change their corner of the world right. They're they're using technology to solve a problem and they realize that security's important part of that but when they go try to solve their security problems the information.

My last year did not go into lockdown. Wouldn't the cross spain a lot worse. Yes there's no question that. By mid march to take one example set being debated right now the uk had to do something pretty drastic to stop the spread. The counterfactual that the alternative strategy that would have been preferable would have been to act as the taiwanese and south koreans did early get testing up and running very rapidly and then use contact tracing trying to identify the infected and the potential super spreaders. So we blew all that in europe and we blew a latin in the americas by mid march. It clearly was too late to do that kind of thing. we did. A lot of sydney's stuff that probably really didn't make much of a positive difference and may have done on balanced harm for example. I think it was a major a state to have the schools closed as long as they have been in california. Basically an entire school year has been lost. Which has been extremely hard on poor kids who who don't necessarily have the space and the technology to study remotely. I saw all things considered i. We now better off at predicting the next disaster than we were. Say you know. We twenty twenty the key point about disasters. It's not predictable the disasters in history whether the man-made or natural if that distinctions even meaningful don't follow any kind of pattern allows you to predict them and that's a very very major problem for us as a species because we love to predict things in truth. You can't really see the next big earthquake in california coming and you can't really know how big the wildfire problem will be in australia. Knicks knicks time. That season comes. All you can do is be quick on the draw when a disaster begins. That's the most important takeaway from the book really. It's it's better to be broadly paranoid. That is to say be aware of all the different things that are out to get you from pandemics to wildfires earthquakes to hostile power and be ready to react quickly when you see the first signs of danger. Unfortunately we learning that lesson. I think we'll actually continue to repeat the mistake of meticulously preparing for the wrong crisis and and be caught out just as we were In early twenty twenty by this this new virus the thing about what happened was on paper. The united states in the united kingdom were the two best prepared countries for public health emergency in the world. That was the finding of twenty nine thousand nine survey that the economist intelligence unit published an truth that these these preparations existed on paper but would really worthless when the rubber hit the road. This is a point that dominic cummings has been making. He was a key advisor to boris johnson. Last year subsequently they fell out and cummings is critique of what happened last year in london to be is very persuasive that the bureaucracy had a plan but the plan was rubbish and they took far too long to realize that i mean the uk had essentially open borders for months. So the lesson is you'll bureaucracy will want a have a very detailed preparedness plan for whichever disaster they Focused on and whatever. The disaster is strikes next. I fully expect the same kind of pathologies to reveal themselves unless we radically rethink the way we do. Think about.

I think a little bit less than you. But at least in the documentary the talk has pretty much exclusively about electron electrons. Okay i could tell you the difference. I mean an eye on is just a compound or adam that is either positively or negatively charged. Oh right okay. Now that is another way of stating the same thing. We have a transfer of electrons happening. Were about to happen. Got it so the first product that we bought for this adventure was back in twenty nine thousand nine hundred. Hey lau we've got.

I don't want to really trust any of the patriots. Pass captors after what i saw last year and still the expectations of not necessarily being the best pastor at this point in his career he still has a lot to prove at least for me. I'm hopeful i think he'll do things with his legs. But not something that. I'm going to be targeting from passing down perspective for the patriots offense all right. Let's get into what we were supposed to talk about today. Which is the bounce back candidates. Stephen adam gave us a list here of some guys that have some bounce back potential. But i don't know you guys got into this yesterday. But i'll ask you this dave. I'll start with you heat. You can follow. What's your definition of bounce back candidate bounce back candidates a guy who had a down year year before who you expect to rebound not necessarily be better by ten percent guy that has seven hundred fifty yards and he gets eight hundred and fifty yards next year. You're not gonna say oh is about spek year. That's not enough. You need to have a bigger year. Adam feeling last year had a bounceback year in two thousand and nineteen total disappointment. Twenty twenty scored. A lot of touchdowns really came back to being fantasy. relevant will fuller the willfuller. Basically you could say. He had a breakout year because he had that number one receiver role in houston and he did a great job with it to me. That's about spec a guy that's coming off a down year. Who has got a chance to really step up and help fantasy managers the following year and we thought about this because adam has no definition of a candidate. Someone who's going to be better than they were last year. I think I think the. I think the key distinction is someone who was good or very good before last year. Who wasn't as good last year. Who we think we will be good or very good again. How much injury. Play a part in that. Because i think that's something a lot of people look at and say okay. This guy was great. For example.

Canadas invisible victims of femicide
"Julie lalonde is an educator and an activist she is. the author of resilience is futile. And she is one of canada's leading women's rights advocates julie. Hi thanks for having me. Of course I wish it was under better circumstances but we recorded an episode of this show. I last year a couple of months into the pandemic and our experts Was saying that this was likely going to end up being a horrible year for violence against women and femicide and now i guess we have some some data on that. Yeah we have confirmation that twenty. Twenty was in fact a deadlier year for women in canada. The air prior so last year. A hundred and sixty women were killed in canada versus twenty nine thousand nine which was one hundred forty six again in twenty twenty. We had high percentage of women killed by men so ninety percent of those accused in last year's time aside our men so we're talking about a very clearly gendered problem. How surprising are those numbers or or not at all. They're not surprising to me. Because i have been doing this work for so long. And i know that women are killed at very high rates largely by men who claim to love them but last year. I mean there's so much that's happened in the past year that it's easy to forget but last year we also had canada's mass shooting so we had twenty three people killed in nova scotia and that's certainly saw a spike in the rates of Deaths of women last year and for example. What is on trend. Is that the deadliest place for women in. Canada are the territories but nova scotia was also added to the list last year in large part because of what happened horrifically last april in nova

Miss Information: A Trivia Podcast
Fortnite for beginners
"Fortnight is a massive multiplayer online video. Game developed by epic games released in two thousand seventeen is available in three distinct game mode versions so they otherwise share the same general game. Play in game engine But these three distinct versions are fortnight. Colon save the world. Okay fortnight no colon battle royale fortnite battle royale and fortnight creative. Oh there's three of them. So the objectives vary depending on which mode you're playing but the broad goal of fortnight is to survive against a prolonged force antagonist who will attempt to eliminate you okay so for night begin from an internal game jamat epoch game so there in american video game and software developer and publisher based out of north carolina So they did this internal game jam around twenty eleven after they published the game gears of war so a game jam which i only recently learned at work a game. Jam is a contest where participants try to a video game from scratch with a specific deadline. So it's usually like twenty four hours or you know maybe maybe seventy two hours to work to come up with this so it's kind of like a like a creativity burst. I'll shut the the bowl of that is to work with other people and create a game from scratch so depending on the format again your participants might be in teams maybe you are working independently. Who knows but epic games is also the developer of the unreal engine which is an open source in advanced real time. Three d creation tool. And you'll hear a lot of Video games and special effects and even like some film stuff runs off of this unreal engine. So the unreal engine. Original purpose was as a state of the art game engine. But it's now used across industries so it's for cutting edge content interactive experiences in immersive virtual worlds Unreal engine is a real time engine. An editor that features photo realistic rendering dynamic physics and effects robust data translation and also lifelike animation. So it's kind of a big thing whenever somebody is using the unreal engine. You know you're going to get really could effects from it so that that's all out of epic games which which founded in the savage that engine so for me was not initially one of the games that was actually developed during that game jim but the concept of merging the construction game genre so games like sim city or minecraft with shooter games came together and it led to the foundation affording. So you probably know. It sim city is if you're our age but a refresher on minecraft so in minecraft which was first released in two thousand nine actually players. Explorer blackie procedurally generated three d world with infinite terrain and they may discover an extract raw materials craft tools and items and build structures or works so game modes in minecraft include a survival mode in which players must acquire resources to build the world and maintain health and creative mode where players have unlimited resources. So players can modify or maud game to create new gameplay mechanics items and assets and minecraft has a very distinctive like visual s. That like you can recognize if somebody showing you a screenshot of minecraft. So what epic did is they prepared to release fortnight as a paid early access title in july twenty seventeen and they had plans to release it as free to play some time in twenty nine thousand nine after gaining feedback from players to improve the game so originally titled fortnight and lear renamed to fortnight colon. Save the world. This original base module is a player versus environment cooperative game. So you have four players collaborating toward a common objective on various missions. The game is set after a fluke. Storm appears across earth causing about ninety eight percent of the population to disappear and the survivors are attacked by zombie. Like husks so the player takes the role of commanders of home. Shelters collecting resources saving survivors and defending equipment. That helps to either collect date on the storm or push back the storm. In from missions players are awarded a number of in game items including hero characters. Weapons trap schematics and survivors all of which can be leveled up through gained experience to improve their attributes. Also you're working together with people against this common enemy player versus environment cooperative game. In around the same time the epic released fortnight into early access pub g had become a worldwide phenomenon selling millions of copies and drawing strong interest in the battle royale genre so a battle royale game is an online multiplayer video game that blends the survival exploration and scavenging elements of a survival game with kind of the last man standing game. Play so the name. The genre is taken from two thousand japanese film titled battle royale which was based on a novel of the same name and presents a similar theme of a last man standing competition in a shrinking play zone. So you've heard people. My brother plays this one. You've heard people's mentioned before what the heck is pub- g it's an abbreviation for player unknowns battlegrounds so that's an online multiplayer battle royale game and in this game one hundred players parachute onto an island and scavenge for weapons and equipment to kill others while avoiding getting killed themselves So there's an available safe area. The games map which decreases in size over time and it ends directing surviving players into tighter areas to force encounters with other players. And the last player or team standing wins the round The game's concept and design was led by brendan green. Who's better known by his online handle player known and he'd previously created mods for other battle rail type games pudgy was the top selling premium game of two thousand seventeen selling thirty million copies worldwide and grossing. About nine hundred million dollars. I have can. I tell you never heard of this game in my whole life. You know you are. You aren't really doing a lot of player games. How it's absolutely right. You know what i. It's funny i feel like there's been a couple of questions and learn a league in maybe the last five seasons or so that like the answer will be some video game or something that we that when we see the answer. We've never heard of this popular selling thing in all of the world and it sold got julian copies and everybody except you plays it. What's the so this is why we're absolutely. Yeah so you know. Epochs saw what pudgy had been doing and they were like maybe we could also do a battery. Yeah so what. Epic did was rapidly develop their own version atop their original fortnight in about two months so by september two thousand seventeen at was about to release this as a second mode from save the world in the paid for earlier access but then later decided to release this as a free game that would be supported with microtransactions. Microtransactions are the business model where users can purchase virtual goods with micro payments and make your transactions are often used in free to play games to provide a revenue source for the developers and there are a staple of the mobile app market so in game currency in fort night is called v books to them. You might see this icon happens sometimes. The you see llamas pop up and fortnight okay. So llamas also known as lama pinatas are the main loop boxes in fortnight and they are also fortnight's primary mascot so the vendor tech store is where players can purchase lama pinatas to break open for rewards in llamas can be produced using view bucks or event specific currency and they contain various helpful. Items like heroes schematics. Weapons and there are also different types of llamas in the game including basic llamas daily llamas and event llamas so For an has a very distinctive aesthetic. It's very cartoony. there's a very distinct color palette. I mean it's it's actually pretty visually pleasing see this distinctive looking lama. You know that that is for

The Mets Quest To Rebuild, And Rebrand, Themselves
"So tim. It's certainly been a roller coaster of an off season for the new york mets. How would you characterize the state of this. Mets organization as we head into the twenty twenty one season. I feel like the mets are still in kind of a period of transition as an organization. Steve cohen took over at the start of november and he brings in sandy alderson. The team's former general manager as his team president guy who's really well respected around the game of baseball and the thought was they wanted to instill a new culture for the mets to build this new mets team. That was totally different from what they had previously under wilpon ownership and for two and a half months they nailed it. We're going to build a process that produces great teams year in and year out. You bill champions you. Don't buy them. They nailed the opening. Press conference and i plan to make the investments. We need to succeed. It started signing guys. Trevor may and james mccann. They make a huge landmark trade for francisco endure and carlos carrasco the first week of january and everything was rolling in the right direction for them until mid-january and the story about jared porter and his inappropriate text messages and texts photos with a female reporter while he was a member of the chicago cubs front office in two thousand sixteen exposed that maybe the mets could have done a better job in the vetting process. That was clearly for a lot of baseball reporters. Based on the inference took off of twitter talked and he will find out his character. That's on you. Skepticism is really exacerbated. A couple of weeks later when we learned about micky calloway's misconduct as mets manager. In two thousand eighteen. Twenty nine thousand. Nine callaway sent unsolicited messages and photos to women among other inappropriate and harassing behavior. The former mets manager aggressively pursued the women through messages and in person the team released a statement saying was hired by sandy alderson. As the general manager. Calloway had been hired by. Sandy alderson two years before so i think all of the good vibrations from the first couple months of the offseason were undercut by what happened in the last month of the offseason for mid january to the start of spring training in february

Everyone has decided to share of themselves and be a little bit vulnerable. How how was that for you being vulnerable deciding to put what you did in your chapter. Put that out there. How did that feel. How did that feel for eugene. Honestly train I i've never been more vulnerable during two thousand eighteen to twenty nine thousand nine hundred when i was suddenly diagnosed with that with that malignant tumor and all of the healthcare and the treatments. And like i said those feelings of isolation and depression and hopelessness to me. That was the most vulnerable. I been in my life even more than being down range in iraq around around enemy enemy kant's so for me In this Anthology make it happen. I've already been. I believe that my most vulnerable state and enduring when i went through that suddenly health crisis so there was there was nothing like what else act like. Yeah to me.

The Big Biz of Cryptocrime with Kim Grauer, Head of Research at Chainalysis
"Sharing some highlights of us on the twenty. Twenty one crypto crime report won't just kick off with some headline numbers from the reports. So you look that. The overall crypto transactions for twenty nineteen and versus twenty twenty so for twenty nine thousand nine hundred about one trillion dollars and this jump to about three trillion in twenty twenty. So which is three times and as you pointed out in the report pandemic has clearly not slow down the demand for crypto currencies but it seemed to have slowed down the illicit transactions volume so in one thousand nine hundred and the volume was about twenty one billion in twenty twenty this foul to ten billion so half the size of one thousand nine hundred half volume rather so is that good news. Thanks for the question and one of the most exciting things about the annual crypto crime report is that we get to query one data set and look at the trends across all different types of cryptocurrency activity and put it into kind of one high level number which you just referred to and there is has been a major decline in the amount of the listed activity that we saw between twenty nine thousand nine hundred and twenty twenty and one of the logical things to conclude. Is that the crimes going down. And that's a result of all of these efforts that were all putting on in terms of trying to make things clear on the regulatory side and and that is definitely a big part of the story to some degree. But it's really important to drill down into the trends within each type of criminal activity and the major reason why we saw such a steep decline from twenty nineteen to twenty twenty was actually really because of one major trend which revolved around scam. Scamming was the main type of criminal activity which declined between two thousand nineteen twenty twenty and that specifically because twenty nineteen was actually a major outlier year. Scamming where we saw the problem. You may have heard of it. The ponzi scheme plus token which took off throughout twenty nineteen and was shut down in middle to late. Year was one of the biggest ponzi schemes. On record there were billions of dollars scammed from millions of different people. And it was really just an outlier event. So you know yes. Criminal activity went down. But it really was because of the absence of that one major outlier event and then beyond that. We also do like to emphasize that. It's also important to look at the sub trends within each different type of category as well. So what's happening dark marketplace's what's happening with ransomware. An each of those has a trend and they definitely didn't decline like the way scam

The COVID-19 social media infodemic
"Now the covid. Nineteen vaccines are pretty close to mass production in the us it is even more crucial to fight misinformation about them. That battle is going. O k twitter. This week said it will ban its users if they spread covid nineteen vaccine misinformation but only after like five strikes facebook last month said it would remove misleading posts on both facebook and instagram including removing accounts. Youtube has also said it banned covert misinformation but in all these cases enforcement is spotty at best topic for quality assurance where we take a second look at a big tech story. Sara frier is a senior technology reporter for bloomberg she says. These efforts are complicated. By the fact that some social media influencers are finding that vaccine. Hesitancy is a great way to make a little cash. It is not only profitable it is a means of selling products is profitable in terms of boosting a following. Getting people really interested in what you have to say but if you tell people you know. I don't think that you need to social distance. I think we just need to boost our immune systems so don't wear a mask instead. You should buy my proprietary supplements that will boost your immune system or instead i will charge you a limited time offer for what vaccine consultation and these people are not doctors and then we have to think as consumers of that information. Who are we listening to. Are we really thinking critically about what we're being told. And also how much harder does it make this problem. It's one thing to sort of be playing whack a mole with various types of misinformation. But you're talking about creators that have tons of followers that people really are attached if they disappear from these platforms then.

It's not just about the group that was you know. Many thousands of members strong that was promoting an anti vaccine gender. It's about the local neighbourhood group where people are sharing tips about what babysitter to hire. But then they're also sharing their opinion on the vaccine in in. That is how this information is spreading now because it has become a little bit more of a mainstream topic of conversation. Everyone's thinking about the vaccine. Everyone's thinking about covid everyone's having these conversations now so.

"Now not all the songs work on. Take me shopping. Marta sounds laconic almost flat in her performance. Like a stone is the most throwback tricky song on the record because it hearkens back to when he was more of a dominant presence on his albums. Now rather consciously. He sidelined his voice and made his co. vocalists the lead vocalists toward the end of all the pieces. The record kind of does just that the last two songs feel rather lifeless and phoned in. It's understandable that tricky came to this project from a place of grief but whether intentional or not by the end of all the pieces. Tricky seems to imply musically that is quote my soul feels empty which he actually said that. He stated that in twenty nine thousand nine after losing his daughter. But that doesn't mean this record is a dud not in the least but be advised that helps to be in a certain mood to listen to this record. So if you're looking for music while making dinner fall to pieces ain't that soundtrack rather the cinematic quality of the music will be best. Appreciated on solo drives.

This is weather in across becomes most powerful waiver on the inside. It's definitely lost if you hold you'll position on the inside. It isn't even definitely one but it massively increases the chances that it is one. This is where. I wonder about you and jeffrey stevens. And your differences in philosophy. That sounds very similar. So there's some things you've said that you sound similar. I'm i'm curious to extract the differences. I asked him about visual hallucinations because he was going on. Get i can get anything out of anyone. And he talked too big talk and he was saying you know greg. Do you have the intent when you're sitting there with someone and you want them to be able to see a dog. That's not actually there. Are you actually seeing edge and argue believing in your core that they're going to be able to see it now. I'm a trained actor. I i mean maybe there is some. There probably was a little self doubt about that. I had i i i will say yeah when i was testing this stuff out. Specifically his methodology going through the processes. And all this stuff. I wasn't fully there. But also i did enough commenting with traditional. Do the pre talk the convinced her the get into all the you know the suggests ability test to know that Sometimes i'd get amnesia. Sometimes i wouldn't. Sometimes i'd go all the way. I mean he strongly believed in intent. What do you believe it takes to get somebody to actually experience any phenomena. You want them to experience. I don't believe i can get anyone to experience any phenomena. I wanted to experience. I do believe i can get a lot of people to experience a lot of things and i'm always curious as to what and the most important thing is to be completely okay. Hi with whatever happens. What undermines a lot of people who is an attachment to a particular outcome like they they they think of something even like an stick all my god you know. But what if it doesn't work. Yeah the fact. They're even asking. The question says a lot about their internal reality fears that go running. And i'm not knocking anyone coming from that place because i used to be that myself. So the sort of feel intent is absolutely true. You know what jeff is saying is absolutely true although i do know when he did his lung the workshop i opened. His workshop. Did the phenomena work 'cause. He said that he didn't do phenomenal work interesting. That's what he said to me. You wanna come open open up the weekend to a bunch of phenomena. Stuff the people. Because i don't really do that kind of thing and i said yeah sure i'll come along and i'll do it And interesting story from that at chilly. Keep any to tell in the unlikely apprenticeship. And i haven't yet. I was talking about visual hallucinations. And i was talking about another time when i'd got visually saination with somebody and there was a ago laugh. I think about twenty nine thousand nine hundred ninety and she'd come in to visit her brother because her brother was in london for this workshop and she was in london the rest of the time she just gonna duct into the back of the workshops. She had no interest in hypnosis. Didn't know anything about hypnosis. really so she was sort of an outsider. She was just listening to me. Closing off. And i was telling a story about hallucination and i told the story i said and i said to this person i said i said what kala size and breed is that dog zach and i fully. Didn't i fully pointed. And i noticed pointed that this go. Her eyes like saucers amounts draw. Toper wasn't even talked to her. She's talking to the audiences whole. Yeah right how is when like sources and mouth dropped open. And i saw it and i turned. I said what's just happened for you right. And she went my god this dog. I wasn't even trying to do anything. Just kind of went into acting as eve. Like i was reenacting a time before when i done it you know. And she oversee bolt in enough to the fact that i was hypnotised. And she obviously had enough gonna latent capacity to hallucinate readily nobody else in the room by the way just twenty people that main whole her now if it was something i don specifically if it was just about what i done everyone in the room would have seen the she sold a dog now. She was not accustomed to seeing dogs randomly. So if it was just about her and she randomly hallucinated. She put her randomly Loosening the rest of the time would have found nothing surprising about the situation but there was an interaction between what i did.
