this video is supported by Skillshare on May 21st 1927 Charles Lindbergh landed his plane the spirit of st. Louis at La börje aerodrome in Paris and would forever be known as the first person to fly solo across the Atlantic and later on in his life he would be known as kind of a Nazi to be fair he was more of a Nazi sympathizer and was super into eugenics and crazy race theories and stuff so I mean not like a real Nazi but you know a little bit of a Nazi but rampant anti-semitism aside most people think of Charles Lindbergh as a daring adventurer who flew across the Atlantic to push the bounds of humanity and test the limits of Technology when in fact he was after some cash there were a lot of people trying to fly across the Atlantic at that time that was like the Mount Everest of aviation and it was because of the Orteig prize which was the $25,000 prize to anybody who could fly from New York to Paris or vice versa Lindbergh won the $25,000 but really we all won because various teams around the world spent over 400 thousand dollars on new aviation technologies this prize really pushed aviation forward in that day flash-forward 69 years to 1996 when billionaire Peter Diamandis set up the XPrize Foundation inspired by the Orteig prize their first prize was 410 million dollars to the first private company that could launch a crewed aircraft into space space being above the Karman line which is 100 kilometers above sea level in an october 2004 that prize was finally won when Burt Rutan and his company Scaled Composites launched their vehicle spaceship one into the history books spaceship one was a small rocket propelled craft that was carried up to a high altitude by a large jet-powered plane called White Knight White Knight would carry it up to 14 kilometers at which point it would drop spaceship 1 it lights its rocket engine and accelerates up into space once it reaches maximum height it glided back down and landed on a runway so unlike most Rockets it took off like a plane and landed like a plane this was a really big deal the first time a private company put a human being into space and fittingly you can today find spaceship one hanging from the ceiling at the National Air and Space Museum right next to you guessed it the spirit of st. Louis today there are multiple private space launch companies all of them focusing in one way or another on reusability in order to say cos but interestingly none of them are using this space plane idea which is 100% reusable with the exception of Virgin Galactic who basically bought the design for spaceship one but they haven't really begun operations yet and none of their flights have cross the Karman line the reasons for this can basically be summed up as a bunch of technical hurdles that we're gonna have to overcome if we're gonna make a space plane idea work but there is a new technology that's being developed right now that might overcome those obstacles it's called the Skylon space plane and if it works it might be the next big leap in space travel the idea of a reusable space plane has been popular since almost the very beginning of the Space Age in 1966 only five years after Alan Shepard wrote a ballistic missile up into the sky the Air Force and NASA concluded a study on what they called the integrated launch and re-entry vehicle or il RV they would later call this design the space transportation system or STS but to the rest of us it went by a different name the Space Shuttle pretty much everything you need to know about the spatial you can see right there in its name space shuttle space transportation system the whole point of it was to be a reusable and cheap ride to space for both people in cargo and look it was a gorgeous vehicle that inspired an entire generation of people I had a poster of the space shuttle up on my wall I built little models of the space shuttle and I might or might not have seen the movie Space Camp about 500 times mark my words someday I'm gonna start an 80s retro a band called jinx but max in space in so many ways a space shuttle program was a massive success over 30 years the five different shuttle orbiters performed 134 successful missions being an integral part of assembling the International Space Station it launched and repaired the Hubble Space Telescope I could go on and on but two of those five orbiters went up in flames and two of the worst space disasters in history killing 14 astronauts and beyond that it never actually achieved its goal of cheap reusable flight even with the fact that it was reusable the cost of launching the Space Shuttle was astronomical pun intended the average cost of each launch was somewhere in the ballpark of a billion dollars and it really wasn't so much reusable as refurbish Apple for example every time between launches they had to replace every one of the twenty thousand heat tiles in the Under of the shuttle I won't go into detail as to why the shuttle failed to meet its expectations but I'll kick you over to Amy Shira Teitel who did a video about why she's not really a fan of the space shuttle she goes into all those details don't hold that against her but even the shuttle and the Soviet Burien which never quite actually got off the ground still took off vertically they may have landed like a plane but they took off like a rocket but what if you could have a vehicle that could take off like a plane and land like a plane an actual orbital space plane that's the idea behind Skylon a space plane has been in development by a company called reaction engines out of the UK since 1989 Skylon is what they call a hotel vehicle which stands for horizontal takeoff and landing and was originally a joint venture between British Aerospace and rolls-royce the rolls-royce eventually pulled out of the project left without a partner to build the engine rocket scientist Alan bond Richard Varvel and John Scott Scott continued with the project based in the vehicle around a pre cooled hybrid air-breathing rocket engine that Alan bond design called Sabre which stands for synergetic air breathing rocket engine the biggest challenge for a space plane is just simply having enough fuel to get up to orbit planes fly by pushing air around either by propellers or jet engines but at a certain height the air is too thin for that to work anymore so at that point they have to kick on some rocket engines to get it up actually into space the problem is the same rocket equation that plagues all launches you know you have to have a certain amount of fuel to get up into space if you add more fuel that adds more weight which means you need more fuel which adds more weight it's this crazy catch-22 and the specific problem with space planes is that they don't go straight up they go on a very horizontal trajectory the white night for example flies for about an hour before it finally drops spaceship one and then it burns its rocket engine for like 134 seconds so this is where the air breathing part of Sabre comes in the Sabre engine is designed to suck in air just like a jet engine up to a height of about 26 kilometers using a pre-cooler to both keep the engine from overheating but also and here's the genius part liquefies oxygen which it then stores in tanks as locks so that by the time it reaches that 26 kilometer or the dead engine can't keep that plane aloft anymore it then transformed like an autobot into rocket mode using its stored liquid oxygen as fuel this is a little bit of a hack around the rocket equation because you don't have to take off from the ground with all the fuel you'll need you actually create fuel as you climb the pre-cooler is the secret sauce to the engine because friction and compression become a problem with any plane flying over Mach 3 and the skyline's engines wouldn't kick on until around Mach 5 so the temperature could reach thousands of degrees according to the BBC in a recent test the Sabre pre-cooler was able to quench a stream of gases that were heated to 420 degrees in one twentieth of a second and these temperature extremes have required the use of advanced materials that really have only been feasible in the last few years basically this pre-cooler would allow the Skylon to fly faster than an sr-71 blackbird which topped out at around Mach 3.3 and in rocket mode it would generate enough thrust to launch 12 tons of cargo up to the International Space Station now all this sounds super exciting but before we crack open the champagne let's be clear eyed about the fact that we're talking about a single-stage-to-orbit vehicle here or an SST o which has been tried many many many times and none have been successful SST o--'s are basically the bigfoot of space flight my buddy Tim Dodd the everyday astronaut did a review of SSTO projects over on his channel about a year or so ago I say review it was really more of a massacre space travel is pretty much littered with SSTO corpses Philip bono an engineer with Douglas Aircraft designed a series of SSTO starting in the 1960s he was inspired in part by the work his company had done on the upper stage of the Saturn 5 variations of Bono's design included a reusable space tug able to tow a million pounds to orbit a reusable craft for stranded astronauts and a troop transport considering this was the height of the Cold War I'm actually kind of surprised that one never went anywhere Gary C Hudson and Pacific American launch systems created several designs that have since become popular despite never actually getting off the ground his Phoenix SST OS could carry cargo or crew and we're going to be powered by an aero spike engine which is another aerospace pipe dream and yet another popular yet doomed SSTO is the McDonnell Douglas dc-8 component of the SDI program also known as Star Wars it was a vertical takeoff and landing vehicle that was designed by a science-fiction author that just coincidentally looked like something out of the amazing stories magazine covers a lack of support from NASA eventually killed the DC X but several of its engineers went on to work for Blue Origin whose new Shepard vehicles Bharath family resemblance to the older craft SSTO designs are implemented and created and thought about for one real purpose only and that is to get the cost of spaceflight down the thing is companies like SpaceX and rocket lab have already brought down the cost of launches considerably through more efficient and cheaper to make engines reusability and other rocket advancements the the whole advantage to an SSTO is getting smaller and smaller all the time in fact it may already be gone in 2015 actually Dov J a PhD researcher in aerospace engineering estimated that the nominal cost per kilo for skyline launch would land somewhere around 1,800 while a partially reusable launch of the SpaceX Falcon 9 could get down to just about $1,200 no time giving dollars here while the original numbers weren't British pounds and then of course in the near future space X could be launching starship which is a 100% reusable vehicle and should bring cost down even more this is not to say that skyline can't or shouldn't be built even if it isn't something that's competitive in the orbital space it could still be you know commercially viable as a jetliner you could travel from New York to Paris in like two hours flying high and fast also has obvious military capabilities this could be the natural descendant to the sr-71 blackbird although the military hasn't been really investing in this the UK Space Agency and ISA have both contributed about sixty million pounds to the Skylon project and other individual investments that brought it up to around a hundred million pounds based mostly off of the pre-cooler reaction engines has used that money to build a testing facility in the UK and they also have a heat exchange facility in Colorado that's had some considerable successes so is Skylon gonna happen maybe there have been some rumors that they've been considering a two-stage rocket that would fly up on a sabre powered aircraft and then launch something from there into orbit which I don't know kind of defeats the purpose there's reason to be skeptical of any potential SSTO spacecraft for all the reasons that Tim talks about over in his video and I tend to fall into the category of somebody who thinks that you know some of the smartest people in the world are working on rocket flight and whatnot and if this is something that they haven't really tried before there's probably a good reason for that I mean of course nobody ever thought about landing a rocket until SpaceX just up and did it so who knows maybe there's a decent chance that skyline will wind up revenue air travel in some way and if they can make money doing it then yeah we might be seeing a totally different kind of space race in the future maybe we need a single-stage-to-orbit XPrize so that we can accelerate the advancement of Sabre technology and maybe someday who knows we'll see a skyline hanging from the Air and Space Museum two reaction engines started with just three guys in their crazy idea to do a transform abble rocket engine and SpaceX started with the mariachi band literally every company has to start somewhere and if you've got an idea that you think could transform the world I highly recommend the course art of the start turning ideas into high-growth businesses by a Guy Kawasaki on Skillshare Guy Kawasaki is a legend of the entrepreneurial and startup space and in this course he and co-presenter bill Richard walk you through the process of turning your idea into a business covering everything from starting launching fundraising pitching and even socializing they help you to get your ducks in a row so you can focus on the big picture in fact by the end of the course you'll have a 10 page presentation that's ready to show potential investors and partners and move your idea forward and if you want you can even share it with other class members for feedback this is of course just one of 25,000 courses you can find on Skillshare and all kinds of subjects art marketing lifestyle you can even learn how to make the

in today's video once again we're testing out something you wanted to know what types of candy can we turn in to cotton candy [Music] alright guys we've done some stuff similar to this before but every time we do you guys ask to see more of it so we've got our cotton candy machine and we have several types of non cotton candy and we're gonna see if we can turn one into the other here's the basic idea we've got several types of confections that we haven't yet tested in our cotton candy machine and we're going to see how well they change from a solid state to a fluffy one you got quite a few different types of candy we've got several and most of them are based on comments but some of them are just based on what I thought would be fun to try yep so we're just going to start trying different types of candy we do have our little bullet blender here so we can powder eyes them somewhat and I think that gives us a better chance although the cotton candy sugar as it comes in the container is not very fine so it'll be great there's a reason we've intentionally left things as sort of larger pieces in the past is it works pretty good if you have the right kind of materials but just to give everything in decent chance I think for the most part we are going to go with fairly small powder what do you want to start with okay so I do want to address something real quick you got a lot of different types of candy at the store now bottle caps is one that was just all over like I don't know why that wasn't a comment but it was Pixy Stix I get why you want to see that one it's already a powder yeah what happens if you just pour Pixy Stix in there you had mentioned that you've got a lot of candies because they're already powdery however I have my doubts that those are gonna work best because to make cotton candy the sugar has to dissolve and then sort of string up now I found in the past when we've done this with everything from tights of juice to sodas we try to coffee one once it worked okay the more powdery something is doesn't necessarily mean it's going to work better it might pour into the machine but we need something with more of a granulated sugar substance for it to work so something I'm doing right now I'm checking the ingredients of all these candies and honestly most of them the main ingredient is dextrose which is a type of sugar but it's not the same type of sugar that we just normally use so this just says sugar which means it's probably sucrose and word we're just gonna try we don't know if that's gonna make a big difference or not so like bottle caps and sweet tarts those are powders that are compressed really hard into a candy shape no if that's how the lifesaver mints are made these ones have sugar and corn syrup as the first ingredients that we've had success with that before as are the cinnamon hard candies corn syrup and sugar but most of the rest of these are dextrose so it'll be interesting to see what I'm going to call it now those are gonna do better anything with dextrose is the first ingredient I don't think it's gonna do as well try bottle caps I think we should separate out by flavor so that's not a ton but that is about the amount of sugar that gets put into the Machine at once if you're just trying to make some cotton candy so I think as a start this will be a good amount you can taste it right out of the air I'm just feeling really sad for a purple and very upset about orange okay pretty whisper free that just sort of blew away Oh see me wisps I see dust in the air I just dropped in three unbroken bottle caps and I don't know what that's gonna do we poured in all of the red powder and we got like no cotton candy anything out of it you're about to see more red powder in this cuz I'm just gonna break open a whole lot of Pixy Stix in here ready for you a giant pile of dust it's gonna be a cloudy and some of that mist did not land in the machine properly I tried I did my best it's not exactly a funnel shape [Music] well there we go a little bit's little bits all right you want to give this a taste with me this massive quantity of pixie stick it is our okay look the flavors fantastic get to pixie stick brush my teeth oh that's got to teach offal we're going to double the triple that I did last time ha ha Kelly no sneeze yeah bless yeah we didn't have any success when we blended our bottle caps now I'm singing because these are so powdery the Smarties are gonna react kind of similarly I'm just gonna toss a whole handful this is an entire pack of Smarties may weigh over balance the Machine let's find out I got most of them in there now as I reached in I felt like oh yeah oh ow oh don't do that also I don't know why he did it set out and then I immediately had to follow suit but I did also this time I just put the cone right there yeah and look what built up on it burning hot dextrose so it's clearly melting the Smarties and spraying it out but the dextrose doesn't form into strands the same way so this is what we end up with Tic Tacs first ingredient is sugar the second ingredient is Malevich stryn okay so I think we're just gonna take this little handful of orange tic tacs again I wanted to do all one color for the you know keeping everything consistent and I'm just gonna throw these tic tacs in and see what they do one don't watch the corn across the room it smells like orange tic tacs that's good let's try like mad some chunks and some powder and some that's nearly the same oh that's not like sour but not bad sour just a lot of sour that would be interesting Wow much lots of splatter we have made a lot of messes with cotton candy in our time but never quite like tick-tock this is the wispy esteem s use we have ever had I especially like the build up that's happened on the sides of our cotton candy machine it's not like we'd normally when we are putting these in here it's not supposed to go in here we normally burn it this isn't burned it's just like gooey candy at this point that's pretty good little lifesavers this is it's not a texture I think will work but the ingredients maybe yeah look at that oh my happy day I got more so that's not quite as good of a result is real cotton candy sugar but it's still amazing pretty dang good did we just make mint cotton candy I think we made strong mint cotton candy - it's still going actually so the bigger pieces that didn't know are anyway going I'm not doing a good job of scooping it it's not like dispersing quite the same way as normal but look how light it is fluffy cloud like mint cotton candy mint clouds oh that's like eating a lot of breath mints at once that's intense I do a lot of breath mints on one that is minty very very minty that is very interesting and different and it works well Wow I'm gonna say the key is sugar yeah real sure not Jose these are corn syrup sugar natural and artificial flavor red for tea so it's mostly corn syrup and sugar which is what a lot of hard candy is made out of we've made it before it's worked so I want to try these I don't want to powder eyes them but I want to break them up into slightly smaller pieces so I'm just gonna whack them with a spoon I bet this is actually gonna work really well I bet we're gonna get some strong cinnamon cotton candy yes yeah so maybe not quite as cohesive and you know what they're bigger they're thicker yeah that's the corn syrup we've done in corn syrup like we cooked it just corn syrup by itself until there was a hard candy stage and then we put it in the machine and it does this it has like it's almost sparkly sheets rather than pure strands when we've made the old-time version of cotton candy this is what it was like it's brittle mmm and crunchy it doesn't Bend and squish the same way normal cotton candy does it just crunches and then dissolves before it starts dissolving you're almost worried it might like cut your tongue or something yeah but sharp it's like fiberglass oh [Music] okay more fluffy all right so last time we actually had the motor on but the heat turned off and so it was kind of cool and when we turn the heater back on we definitely are getting back to fluffy it's still not the same it does have that sort of like fibre glas.t texture but is fluffier comparatively relatively that's cotton candy compared to the cotton shards that is fluffy cotton candy like a good but not overpowering cinnamon flavor yep sugar corn syrup combinations those work and I think the first time we did this we used lifesavers and we found lifesavers were great Jolly Ranchers also worked pretty well although if I remember right the flavor with Jolly Ranchers is almost too strong we're willing to do more of this if you have more suggestions but it needs to be candy with sugar and corn syrup as the first ingredients no dextrose so if you have candy that follows that criteria let us know and we would totally dry this again [Music] well there is Saracen I did it magic guys that's not all you know we've always got more for you to see hit that box up at the top for our most recent video and we'll see in the next one talk to you then


so this is the new razor blade stuff 13 and I know what you might be thinking to yourselves Eber didn't you just review this about a month ago that is true but this is a different model it's the base one that comes with the 25 watt version of Intel's amazing.i SiC CPUs which is the 1065 g7 I was actually kidding about that amazing part because yeah it's it's pretty terrible I the naming scheme is is trash now if you recall watching my full in-depth video on the blade stealth with the GTX 1615 max Q graphics card one of my biggest concerns with that notebook was that razor was using a 15 watt version of the Khorasan processor which significantly affected its a CP performance under a full multi-core load it only reached 2 gigahertz and that also affected gaming performance so ever since then I've been actually waiting to get my hands on this notebook specifically the one that comes with the 25 hour chip to see what kind of performance improvements can we expect in fact is it can be better than the top-tier specs GTX 1650 max key model that cost 300 for our sponsor the new cases by metal gear come with three variations newest silent neo air and neo G to satisfy your build and visual preference with the good i/o excellent internal layout and our to be fans included on Neo G and air models check the description to see which neo is best for you alright so first step I do want to quickly go over these spec differences between this base model and the top-tier spec GTX 1650 max Q variant so the cpus are the exact same except for their TDP memory still remains the same and 16 gigabytes running at 37 33 megahertz unfortunately storage is cut in half and razer does not have the option to upgrade within their site although it is user upgradeable this mercury white model does not come with a discreet graphics card and the price fifteen hundred US dollars which isn't cheap but if you compare to the competition from Dell HP or even a sir it's actually pretty good now from a physical standpoint there isn't anything new with this mercury white model it still maintains the same footprint as D GTX Berrien I'm actually really digging this silver finish it isn't pure white like the XPS 13 - and one that we checked out recently it Matt and interestingly enough it doesn't show fingerprints as bad as the black model the key caps however are white and I'm still debating whether or not if it goes along with the solar chassis but when you're in a dark room the lighter finish does reflect the colors exhibited by the display and it looks gorgeous it's certainly photogenic if you were to ask me the keys themselves are okay they're not the best in the market right now I think the Lenovo x1 carbon takes the crown with that because it's got solid feedback when you're typing on it this I mean I really wish the razer improvises on their next-gen Blade notebooks because it's the same exact setup that's found on my blade 15 notebook so yeah it's it is what it is the trackpad is one of the best on a Windows based notebook it features Windows position drivers and it surprised at the actual footprint because for a 13-inch notebook it is pretty big especially when compared to the XPS 13 from Dell and even HP Spectre x-360 the IO remains the same just like the gtx 1650 model so you get two USB Taipei's two USB type C's that are also Thunderbolt 3 compatible and an audio jack the blade stealth 13 comes with a tan DP IPS display I love the fact that it's a matte screen versus glossy screens that you'll find on other notebooks thin aligned notebooks specifically so this will definitely help you with travel needs because you don't have to worry about reflections or whatnot this is definitely gonna cut that significantly and it's a very color accurate panel as well in terms of upgradability it's the same layout as the GTX 1615 max Q model so the only thing that you can upgrade is to storage unfortunately memory is soldered on to the mainboard but if you pay close attention to this area of the mainboard you'll notice that that's where the 1650 max Q is housed on the top-tier spec model so it's interesting to see that they're so using the same layout just that now you have two fans just cooling and that isolates CP which is probably why they decided to go with that xx powered version because they have that thermal Headroom now battery life on this base model is good but not great especially when compared to the GTX 1615 max Q model as you can see it only lasts maybe 10-15 minutes longer than the top-tier spec model which actually goes to show how efficient and videos optimist technology is with that 1650 graphics card and now the moment that you've all been waiting for is this 25 one core i7 1065 g7 compared to its 15 watt sibling well the numbers do make a lot more sense now taking a look at Cinebench r15 there's a 30% improvement in the multi-core test the XPS 13 tune 1 still remains the fastest in this test single core performance didn't really improve by all that much and that makes sense since these notebooks didn't have an issue running at 3.5 to 3.9 gigahertz but the whiskey lake core i7 85 65 you on the older model was the fastest switching over to our 20 the story changes completely the 25 watt ice-like cpu on this blade stealth dominates this test it's 40% faster than the GTX model moving on to some real-world tests starting with blender running the BMW benchmark this health continues to surprise me guys it's once again 40% faster than the GTX model and close to 30 percent faster than the XPS 13 tuned one notebook unfortunately running DaVinci Resolve studio on these notebooks is a little bit of a challenge because we tried rendering the exact same project that we use for all of our benchmarks on the I select notebooks but particularly with notebooks that do not have a discrete graphics card and it just wouldn't work I think it's more of an Intel Quick Sync optimization issue with resolve and the giving hakuren hardware because with the GTX scenary 50 model and the MX 115 model and basically other you know systems that run a discrete graphics card it runs perfectly fine so I think maybe Blackmagic has to do something with optimization it's certainly not razors fault but yeah if you're planning on running DaVinci Resolve on this notebook which first of all I would not recommend because it's not an editing notebook it's something to know however I did run Adobe Premiere Pro and I expected to be slower than the GTX model since it is missing a discrete graphics card after all so this test certainly favors that model but when you compare to the XPS 13 this blade is 14% faster interestingly enough when you compare this to the whisky Lake models between the MX 150 GPU it's relatively close to wrap things up we have Corona add-in for 3ds max and this razor blade once again shines with flying colors leaning this test so overall b2 version of the core i7 i6 CPU on this blade is certainly the fastest that we've tested among other notebooks and I didn't expect it to be that fast compared to the XPS 13 2 & 1 featuring the exact same CPU with the same TDP now that has to do with how well Razer was able to sustain clock speeds on this notebook at 2.8 gigahertz under a full multi-core workload now I do want to bring up something important that is when you hit this with a full load right off the bat clock speed show up to 3.5 3.7 gigahertz but temps reach 93 C and then it down clocks it to 2.8 gigahertz while maintaining temperatures around 70 C now can you actually game on this notebook well you can't really throw anything intensive since the iris plus graphics is really meant for light gaming loads at 1080p at the lowest possible settings titles like rocket league csgo overwatch run pretty well and it's a significant improvement over UHD graphics from last gen also for some reason 3dmark Cloud Gate refused to run on this notebook I tried everything I could to diagnose that issue but I was out of luck so to conclude this baseline razor blade stealth surpassed my expectations especially in terms of its CPU performance because it really is one of the fastest that we tested so far and I really wish if the gtx 1650 model had the exact same configuration but that isn't the case so it's it's really weird to have two different versions of the processors on both these notebooks and it's kind of ironic because you're spending 300 ollars more to get that 1650 graphics card but you're not getting the best CP performance on that model then again this isn't a gaming laptop after all because I think razors really targeting this towards others thin and light notebooks in the competition especially from Dell HP Acer so I wouldn't say that this is a great primary notebook I think this would be more of a supplementary notebook that would go along with your desktop PC or if you're someone just looking for a clean simple laptop that has really good CP performance pretty good battery life and something that looks like I don't know a MacBook Pro then why not I think the price is pretty justifiable although I am pretty bummed about the fact that Razer doesn't give you the option to upgrade storage on their site but I want to invite someone who might actually consider switching to this blade notebook from his Lenovo x1 carbon or not I don't know if that's gonna happen maybe not maybe yes I don't know but I'm gonna invite Mike over because he's gonna he's he has some thoughts about about this laptop so why don't we when we get him on board so I was never a Lenovo ThinkPad user I always use the Sony vials but after the last year of using the x1 carbon I absolutely love this thing would I switch to the razor that there's a couple of benefits going in the razors favor first of all this screen is so much better than the one I have right now on my x1 carbon in addition to that the form factor is a little bit smaller the keyboard is nowhere near as good as the x1 carbon and at the same time I'm really not a big fan of the the white keyboard now from a performance standpoint I actually prefer the razor device the reason for that is if I need to have something that's a little bit more adaptable before I want to play I don't know sieve or something like that at the airport this is capable of it whereas the x1 carbon completely shits the bed but as somebody who has a high powered desktop and just want something that's portable a good battery life would I even think about getting this it would be on my list but I would still go towards the x1 carbon just for all of its benefits oh okay I'm doing the sign-off again here we go I'm Michael with Harvard Canucks uber is once again behind the camera he's smiling at me right now because you know what I'm gonna screw this up you can find a couple of other videos from us here you can subscribe up there and our other channel boot sequence is somewhere down there so I will see you in the next one or maybe not or May it's just gonna be


we got another interesting replay here mlb needs our help is it a catch or is it not a catch this one's brought to you by dugout mugs baseball bats turned into mugs the best gift you could get all right we got logan webb pitching to zach wheeler the pitcher for the phillies get some strike one wheeler terrible body language have some confidence in yourself do you not pro my god twins in the front row pitch number two is popped up towards the twins posey's after it he's under it he catches it he has it i don't know ump says no catch he says how can you tell how could you tell how could you tell if i caught it or not you're behind me um says well i think you didn't catch it and then gabe kepler says hey what do you got on this they say they say to replay it now mind you the pitcher's hitting and the count is owen 2 and you're probably gonna get him out really soon anyway but they say no let's replay this so let's see did he catch it or did he not it's very interesting i like how he uses his right hand to get separation on the net that's a good strategy and then it hits the top of his glove it's in his glove and then he comes down kind of open on the net there you'll see the ball does kind of touch the net now do i think he would have caught this if the net wasn't there absolutely i think that's in his glove do i think the net touched the ball before it was 100 percent secure i don't know i also don't know if it should matter but it's taking forever and now you can see posey look at his picture and say do you need a throw the pitcher says no i'm good the pitcher's up i'll just throw a strike down the middle and get him out they rule no catch so gabe kepler comes out and he starts talking on me says and you really know what you saw and then they tell him he's not allowed to ask he says i can't ask you what they saw um says no you're not allowed to ask us anything our whole life is private and he says okay okay okay fine i guess i'm back to the dugout and then the pitcher throws one more pitch to the pitcher and they get out of it anyway and probably the biggest waste of a replay you could have used this one was brought to you by dugout mugs they make baseball bats they turn them into mugs they can engrave whatever you want them they got all your favorite teams they got beer openers they got wine glasses you haven't got your mama mother's day present you haven't got your dad a father's day present you haven't gotten your kids little league coach a thank you present yet team logo right on there you can get custom engravings dugoutmugs.comboy 35 off plus a free knob shot shot


hey welcome back to coffee time with your host X Google X Facebook tech lead and it occurred to me that I never really explained how I got my job at Facebook as a staff software engineer making five hundred thousand dollars per year today I thought I would tell you about how that interview process went I landed this offer about one and a half years ago when I was working over at Google as a tech lead I might remind you before all the drama about my wife leaving me happened before I became unemployable for bashing Facebook but this may be a path that you would like to pursue as well at some point in your future maybe not now maybe not ever really I wanted to explain why might even give you an to survive if you know the information if you know knowledge if you can pass these interviews you should be qualified for the job it would otherwise be like saying students I say Harvard somehow have some secret bit of information that is non-public and then they only tell that information to their friends and then only those people are able to get into Harvard and I feel that this information disparity is not fair it's not fair for people who don't have those professional network connections who may be from underprivileged communities so that's my perspective about giving you guys as much information as you can to pass these coding interviews all right so Facebook generally has three different types of interviews you can usually tell which one you may be at they have coding systems design and behavior so the coding focuses on just your average sale each code the type of questions and what you have to solve some coding exercise and that's really what's a I'll go pro which I talked about it's going to help you get through and a lot of junior engineers they stumble on this portion or they just miss out on a lot of these problems the systems design interview is not so focused on coding and in fact they'll probably get a little bit mad if you start coding too much they want you to talk about how these pieces of code interact with each other and that overall architecture of it and then there's the behavior portion in which they tend to value your ability to handle conflict build consensus lead projects push impact and overall have good collaboration and communication skills because overall programming is a team sport for myself since I was interviewing for a senior role I had one coding question two systems design interviews and then one behavioral portion and in each of these they generally do continue to ask you some coding questions so it's not like they just ask you one let me tell you about the coding questions that I had though and there's a good thing I took notes on these so I can tell you the exact questions I was asked and you can think about how you may solve some of these as well you can just pause the video as we go along here the first question is given to duplicate binary trees so you got tree a and three B and you're given a node and tree a find that same corresponding node in those B so you can think about how you may solve this by remember my approach was I would try to traverse one tree find the note and then traverse the second tree and see if I can find that same note but then I realized that there was no good way to compare the two nodes the interviewer kind of stopped me at that point I had to step back and think about it and the ultimate approach which I think is the right one is to just reverse both at the same time and when you reach the node in a then you know you've reached that same node in the second binary tree as well but the main trick here is that even though most people may have been taught to traverse one binary tree at a time doing both treat reversals at the same time sort of test your mastery of this area now the funny thing is for a standard interview I think this would be the only question but I actually ended up solving like three questions in the single session so the second question they asked was given an array like one zero zero two five zero move all of the zeros to the right to the end of the array and again this isn't necessarily so difficult but the challenge is to do it in like a single pass linear time algorithm make it very efficient and come up with the proper time space analysis and one brute force technique is you can go through the array find the first zero and move it to the end go through the array find the next zero move it to the end and you just keep moving these values and that's probably going to take quadratic time n square time because you got to go through n iterations and for each iteration you may have to shift and more elements the more optimal solution can be done in linear time and constant space you keep in the index to the last item in the array and anytime you find the zero you just swap that element with the last item and then you move that last index one left and you just keep going like that and then you can process through the whole range it's a pretty ridiculous question but you just got to play that game the next question is check of a string of parentheses valid a very common question you always get asked this type of thing you can either solve that using like a Hunter but if there are multiple different types of parentheses then you can use like a stack and when you encounter and open the in parentheses you push that on to the stack we encounter a closing parenthesis you pop that off of the stack and you check that they match and then there's a follow-up question which was to remove all unbalanced parentheses another question was you're given two binary strings and you need to add them manually essentially just do a duration using a carryover variable that can be done in linear time constant space and we go over a question similar to this over an algo Pro except that they're linked lists instead so it's a little bit trickier that way and then the last question is you are given an array of objects small medium and large and that you have to sort them in place and you know this was a mix of using the proper data structures because they weren't numbers there's like small medium and large objects in there and then coming up with the algorithm to sort this efficiently the optimal algorithm would use no space and it would be linear time just do the entire sort in one iteration one past I remember the original approach I did was first I had a bucket of small items and then medium and large items combined and I would first go through in one pass and move all the small items to the beginning and then we'll go through a second pass I move all the large items to the end and just sort the medium and large items so this is actually a two pass algorithm so that covers the coding and all software engineers jr. through senior needs a known coding you're gonna be smoked on this no matter what level you're at which is why it's important to keep your skill sharp with algo procom now the two systems design questions I got were both pretty similar and it's totally going to depend on the area that you're in right for me I'm an iOS mobile developer so it was about building an iOS app specifically it was number one design a flight booking app and number two design a simple version of Instagram so both of these questions are about having multiple pages or surfaces in an app there could be dozens of teams working on these and then architecting the app structure in the way that multiple people can be working on this and then handling things like caching offline usage event navigation scroll performance layout removing inter dependencies between different pages for the flight booking application the idea is that you first search for a set of flights you see a list you choose a flight and then you can buy the flight similarly for the Instagram one is like you have a bunch of photos then you can click on the photo you see the details and it's like a two-page app you can really go in any direction that you want in these systems design interviews is super open for me the areas I drove into talking more about we're handling offline usage scenarios how do you catch that stuff separating dependencies between surfaces so for example the flight booking app you may have a payments team that is handling the payment view for buying the airplane ticket but then you have another team that's handling search and then another team that handles displaying the list of flights and it's like how do you structure the application in a way such that all of these can be independent of one another and yet they're able to function together and here I will talk about having different event handlers separating modules out such that they're not dependent upon one another and coming up with that module dependency graph and I had to sort of back step they're taking their feedback and during the interview I actually realized an even better architectural solution that we hadn't figured out over at Google that Facebook had been implementing and they probably just appreciated that I was able to collaborate with them to solve that right there and then there are also questions about holistically structuring the app in a way that could be suitable for both offline and online use and then making the right abstractions that say the network layer and then I also talked about the UI as well so that covers what a mobile systems design interview may look like for a web it will probably be very different for example they'll probably be about load balancers databases master-slave replication sharding CD ins and all of that I think what really helped me though was really being more interested in other parts of the code base rather than whatever I have been assigned right like usually people are saying to work on one small feature and they never take a step back and look at how their feature interacts with everything else and get an overview of the entire code base that they're working on if you can take a step back and take a look at that that could prepare you well for any systems design interview that may be coming your way at some point maybe now or in the future and then lots of other the behavior questions which we cover in far more depth over in our other program Tech interview program where we covered the entire interview process start to finish but the behavioral questions they really dig and they don't accept your first answer in fact they're trained not to so if they ask you like what the most challenging part about this and you give some shallow answer like oh yeah working with this person and then it overcame this challenge they know that that first answer it's probably like a BS answer that you have prepared so they really dig deep and this is where it helps to really have good examples I prepared a number of stories myself about the only with conflict tough situations at work and I think that for this area it also helps you just have some good concrete examples which is another reason that in whatever role you're in it still helps to be pushing yourself challenging yourself to do more such that it can be something you can talk about as you're interviewing for your future roles so there you have it I remember leaving the interview feeling quite positive about it and then two weeks later I would receive the offer five hundred thousand dollar salary and there was still kind of a hard decision for me to leave Google to take up that offer because I was quite comfortable over at Google in fact I felt I was probably getting a little bit too comfortable just sitting back the idea of learning a whole new codebase new technologies it just seemed really exciting to me at the time so I made that switch turned out later to be one of the biggest mistakes of my life but that's another story so that good for me it was a little bit more of a technical video but I gotta keep my street cred up as the tech lead if you liked the video give it a like and subscribe and I'll see you next time Thanks


hello everyone well I haven't uploaded for a few days and let me tell you I can honestly say that I spent the last few days just playing gambit prime because it's my favorite game mode and it really makes me so happy and in this video we're gonna be using a weapon that you can't actually get anymore and it is called the Bray tech werewolf and big shout out to my buddy rune for letting me use his account cuz I'm pretty sure this gun came out when I was still playing fortnight also just just look at him look at him how could you not love this it has hammer force rifling armor-piercing rounds and moment multi-kill clip a range master work and then he's running counter balanced stock on it I don't know I don't know what he's done with the shader and my paint I do not approve this is what it's supposed to look like I also have a royal announcement I'm actually now partnered with a Vance GG a Vance is a energy drink supplement and I know a lot of the people over there at that company great people and if you know if my code sir D does well enough who knows I might actually get my own flavor so if you want to check them out a little bit in the description to have a ton of great flavors besides I'm just kidding M Ty's flavor is actually my favorite flavor so until I get my own you should probably buy his before I started with them I used to drink they're chill it's like some CBD drink and dude it gets you it gets you nice and real tired and chilled out I nearly died of a chill overdose melatonin and chill at the same time bad news and without further ado let's hop into a game of PvP oh my god this thing's zooms in so much Oh what is my log [Music] well I kind of kind of melted a little bit no oh my god let's just all sit in one spot with snipers forever because no one loves us let me get it let me get it let me get it okay never mind never mind I will admit I had no business I had no business he's so weak and he's not weak anymore it's the one shot right oh he's got this right slapped out of him only one answer for this no I choked over 20 I did that one come out dude I give up show of force XF what even is that that like from year one secondly why are you using it that thing has got to be awful Rauch crowd she's never gonna expect it these are just what an impact player this is what impact player does no it was on the brink the very gust of death and I just get third party like always Oh epic games hey you got to let me know that I got some new friend requests oh how does he miss that no hole dude if I could melee him you would be done I dig it though I like it I mean the scopes are definitely a little bit weird like it seems like it's a really like long zoom but then you use it and it's really not they're just kind of look strange but I like it there is so much potential there's like he's not even in take werewolf videos 11 videos beloved video for the 19th time well that was that was some cool movement watch this this is gonna be insane I was mistaken there's no didn't know that was an enemy I thought I was a teammate like a close game you know it feels like the bill we're playing is there not very good go time there anymore well you spit I know how did that I'll kill him was a different guy I had to have been a different guy there's no way that doesn't kill him in that situation Oh embarrassing embarrassing and Barry won let's go how many did I get though how many how many did I get I'm guessing 38:43 I'll take it on whose head he's dead or not I know he's dead like throw that in there maybe I'm guessing but he's dead he's not dead unfortunately oh my god that was a long range go okay every time this guy in a shotgun perhaps he is an aspiring destiny to professional player in that case I just really got to give it up and I want to wish him luck on his eSports journey Wow just floating forever ah cumin I love cumin it's one of my favorite spices another guy is he way in the back oh no he's so weak oh my god I can't believe I missed that there we go finally another one the smash right here right anybody ain't goin out I'm gonna run okay I'm ready oh I said his ass flying melted oh my dude no one else could finish them off I suppose cumin is a potent spice there's miss Mae just won't stop she has always got something to bring me pain oh god stay away stay away please dude is this I have exact Admira venj at last yeah it's not a thing things are looking bad to be honest oh I'd even I literally just accidentally killed that guy hooman III do not like you all right got him still we're still gonna lose but I can at least make it look like I'm doing something cool boom go home oh I got him it puts a smile on my face now we're doing some rumble on my favorite map and I don I do love getting this map really fun map single shot regen helmet coward come back here another one should be coming right oh my god every time this guy comes minute oh look controller turn this man is using a dual shock for and that is a crime that cannot be forgiven oh you know you should try to turn just can't quite do it in time oh I got you I got you I got you always fun using like a non meta archetype of Auto rifle to see but you don't you feel like a scumbag let you're using like some spammy auto rifle it's like I feel like this one actually takes a decent amount of ambien obviously at the end of the day destiny hitbox is our destiny hitboxes here catch this bot no thank you oh you stole it bounce pass that's why I'm the better player oh my god I can't believe a can hit him from there it's like one of those words like it doesn't feel like you're actually hitting the person you know what like it doesn't feel like it's it's like it's impossible to hit a head shot from that range but he was so weak that it didn't even matter he's so weak imagine imagine how awful that would have been for me that would have been an embarrassing moment and I just wasted my Golden Gun just because I wanted to look cool wait what there we go he's so waived here eat that he's got to be dead okay I was just saying no no my I control your friend I know that it's not a sniper and it's a little bit hard to harder to use the whole hand cannon but you got to be better with your shots oh look at him he doesn't even know what planet he's on how did he still melee me all right that's enough i cyber boy the controller user enough it's too much I apologize gentlemen we're gonna turn this ship around Oh a head shot him oh my god of course I wasn't reloaded dude like Golden Gun honestly he's like kind of useless in this game mode okay I spoke too soon or more is behind me isn't he this game-mode is like incredibly stupid but incredibly fun at the same time bounce pass are those awful I apologize for even suggesting that you kill people so fast that I just need to find like get like a nice streak against people that are just completely oblivious and then I'll be able to like string something together but oh my god [Music] the video is kind of rapping out is a good weapon I'm pretty sure you it's like a curated role because you got it from like year 1 festival of the lost or whatever but it's still like really once had it's still pretty good and it's fun to use in here and you can't get it anymore so I can't get this on my own account alright so that's pretty much it for the video it's like yeah if you're interested in this gun it's too bad cuz you can't get it anymore well I enjoyed my time using it once again big THANK YOU to rune for letting me use his account I've always said this but using non meta archetypes of the auto rifles are fun because they feel rewarding and it's not like you're just spraying and spamming everything but if you did enjoy today's video the best way of supporting it is dropping a like and if you don't want to miss a video in the future just click on the bell that is located at the bottom of the video player next to the subscription button and that'll make sure that all my videos pop up in your sub box and hopefully I'll see you guys in my next video bye

hey
wisecrack
share
it
again
you
might
have
noticed
that
we
have
a
soft
spot
for
cynical
irreverent
and
even
nihilist
comedy
but
we've
recently
been
wondering
is
there
anything
on
the
other
side
of
our
current
cynicism
is
comedy
based
in
earnestness
and
genuine
human
emotion
still
possible
to
answer
this
question
we're
turning
to
our
friend
beau
burnham
a
comedian
who
might
have
cracked
the
code
for
how
to
embrace
all
the
intellectual
goodness
of
postmodern
irony
[Music]
while
offering
something
with
a
real
human
core
can
we
get
the
house
lights
up
for
a
second
and
could
you
let
the
lights
on
stage
let
the
artifice
fade
away
now
we're
all
the
same
like
a
candy
bar
that
has
a
hard
shell
of
cultural
cynicism
on
the
outside
but
a
warm
hug
from
your
favorite
aunt
on
the
inside
even
though
burnham
is
still
babyfaced
his
work
has
actually
gone
through
a
few
distinct
stages
while
his
earliest
work
incorporates
post-modern
cynicism
and
ironic
detachment
i
adopted
a
child
from
overseas
to
rescue
him
from
child
labor
factories
and
on
his
very
first
birthday
we
went
to
build
a
bear
workshop
[Music]
his
more
recent
work
not
only
exposes
the
meaningless
core
of
contemporary
life
but
also
attempts
to
offer
a
corrective
with
introspection
and
a
search
for
happiness
on
a
scale
from
one
to
zero
are
you
happy
burnham
might
be
the
rare
comedic
figure
able
to
offer
salvation
from
the
empty
cultural
wasteland
that
is
our
modern
world
so
welcome
to
this
wisecrack
edition
on
the
philosophy
of
beau
burnham
and
i
guess
spoilers
part
one
how
did
we
get
here
to
understand
why
burnham
represents
such
an
important
shift
in
comedy
we
first
need
to
see
how
comedy
arrived
at
its
postmodern
era
and
more
importantly
what
the
hell
is
even
meant
by
postmodernism
this
phrase
has
become
so
amorphous
that
it
can
be
used
to
describe
everything
from
cars
to
scottish
beer
but
a
more
helpful
understanding
can
be
found
in
the
work
of
frederick
jameson
whose
work
describes
post-modernism
as
the
cultural
logic
of
late
capitalism
which
means
that
each
new
form
of
economic
life
creates
a
related
form
of
cultural
life
for
example
when
you're
a
poor
college
student
your
economic
situation
dictates
a
cultural
life
of
cheap
beers
movies
in
a
dorm
room
and
paying
for
dollar
cheesy
roll
ups
with
your
laundry
quarters
when
you
graduate
and
get
a
job
you're
drinking
a
locally
made
ipa
paying
20
for
a
movie
ticket
and
using
your
debit
card
for
a
cheesy
gordita
crunch
a
few
years
later
you
sell
your
app
flush
finder
that
gives
you
a
map
of
the
cleanest
public
toilets
near
you
and
you'll
be
drinking
aged
whiskey
sitting
courtside
and
sending
your
scared
assistant
adrian
to
grab
you
a
crunchwrap
supreme
combo
each
economic
stage
in
your
life
leads
to
a
new
cultural
stage
and
post-modernism
is
the
cultural
logic
of
the
current
stage
of
economic
development
which
jameson
calls
late
capitalism
now
let's
see
how
jameson's
ideas
can
help
us
better
understand
these
shifting
trends
in
american
comedy
over
the
past
70
years
we
can
do
this
with
a
three-step
process
economic
culture
leads
to
popular
culture
which
leads
to
comedy
let's
start
in
the
50s
america
isn't
a
post-war

the
gi

has
led
to

homeowners
it's
easy
to

and
cuba
is
just
a

this

all
about

can
be

let's
be
honest
the
most
important
thing
is
how
fly
they
look
in
red
leather

in
the
90s
comedians
like
jerry

we're

the
dementors
they
were
flying
all
over
the
place
and
they
were
scary
and
then
they
come
down
and
they
suck
the
soul
out
of
your
body
and
it
hurts
the
office
showed
us
the
mundane
and
often
meaningless
existence
of
the
american
worker
and
the
rest
of
television
was
slowly
taken
over
by
reality
shows
that
were
all
completely
fake
but
nobody
seemed
to
care
one
of
the
most
recent
shifts
that
helps
us
understand
the
effect
of
late
capitalism
on
comedy
is
what
we're
calling
the
adult
swim
phenomenon
what
started
as
a
way
for
a
cartoon
network
to
get
stoners
to
watch
their
channel
while
eating
double
decker
tacos
has
since
become
the
home
of
some
of
the
weirdest
most
absurd
and
most
intentionally
cringe-worthy
comedy
to
hit
the
american
airwaves
tim
and
eric
awesome
show
great
job
showed
us
a
surreal
and
absurdist
version
of
the
upside
down
stairs
are
pretty
good
eric
andre
ironically
occupied
the
space
of
the
late
night
host
to
show
how
meaningless
the
late
night
model
had
become
while
using
interviews
with
c-list
celebrities
to
highlight
the
vapid
nature
of
contemporary
fame
mr
neighbor's
house
has
recently
shown
us
what
happens
when
mr
rogers
is
put
through
the
post-modern
cynicism
filter
no
matter
what
the
color
and
when
you
lie
you
hurt
your
brother
and
of
course
our
friends
rick
and
morty
give
us
an
animated
response
to
the
classic
philosophical
question
what
if
back
to
the
future
was
an
r-rated
movie
involving
the
multiverse
nihilism
nobody
gets
it
nothing
you
think
matters
matters
and
lots
of
brown
liquor
many
of
these
shows
weren't
even
funny
at
least
in
the
traditional
sense
whereas
the
90s
and
early
aughts
used
canned
laughter
to
tell
our
lizard
brains
when
to
laugh
eric
andre
used
canned
laughter
to
create
an
uncomfortable
moment
for
all
involved
maybe
andre
just
wants
to
push
the
limits
of
what
we'll
watch
or
maybe
he's
asking
if
there's
even
such
a
thing
as
authentic
comedy
anymore
we
only
know
one
thing's
for
sure
though
just
gotta
eat
the
lettuces
right
just
straight
up
eat
the
lettuce
at
the
same
time
that
adult
swim
is
blossoming
occupy
wall
street
is
taking
over
the
streets
of
manhattan
and
young
people
around
the
world
are
questioning
economic
and
political
institutions
in
a
way
that
would
make
the
mud-covered
hippies
proud
but
unlike
their
forefathers
lenny
and
george
who
use
political
cynicism
to
infuse
their
comedy
with
an
urgency
for
truth
got
no
steel
industry
left
can't
educate
our
young
people
can't
get
health
care
to
our
old
people
but
we
can
bomb
the
[ __ ]
out
of
your
country
all
right
the
adult
swim
generation
let
this
cynicism
go
from
a
rallying
cry
to
cynicism
for
cynicism's
sake
rather
than
a
response
to
a
troubled
world
this
cynicism
denied
the
existence
of
real
meaning
or
truth
in
the
first
place
just
say
smith
again
it
don't
matter
of
this
matters
to
return
to
the
fourth
meal
of
cultural
theory
frederick
jameson
this
cynical
comedy
is
a
perfect
exemplification
of
post-modernism
the
same
cultural
form
repeats
but
this
time
with
iron
or
to
paraphrase
marx
first
as
johnny
carson
then
is
eric
andre
eating
his
own
vomit
cynicism
and
irony
led
to
a
brand
of
comedy
in
which
truth
meaning
and
human
earnestness
are
just
useless
relics
from
the
era
of
canned
laughter
and
pesky
new
york
mothers
so
are
we
now
stuck
in
this
postmodern
feedback
loop
of
meaninglessness
maybe
not
but
to
find
out
we
have
to
return
to
our
friend
beau
nope
the
other
one
she's
pretty
but
no
no
not
the
obama's
portuguese
water
dog
the
comedian
lanky
white
guy
in
his
20s
yes
finally
jesus
part
three
from
irony
to
sincerity
in
bo
burnham
all
right
guys
before
we
keep
going
reel
jared
here
for
a
minute
as
you
guys
know
we
sometimes
talk
about
pretty
heavy
subjects
cynicism
nihilism
voids
of
meaning
you
know
the
drill
but
these
topics
can
be
to
put
it
bluntly
a
bummer
so
that's
why
i
want
to
talk
about
this
video's
sponsored
better
help
a
counseling
service
that
allows
you
to
connect
with
licensed
therapists
on
your
computer
tablet
or
mobile
phone
i
actually
tried
the
service
myself
so
wait
till
the
end
of
the
video
to
hear
more
about
my
experience
until
then
go
to
betterhelp.com
wisecrack
to
get
started
and
now
back
to
bo
bo
burnham
is
an
interesting
case
as
much
of
his
early
work
was
shaped
by
the
influence
of
dutch
absurdist
hans
taywin
where
have
you
been
in
jail
for
what
rape
sorry
i
had
no
idea
and
embodied
a
detached
irony
which
exemplified
the
tenets
of
postmodern
comedy
if
jesus
can
walk
on
water
can
he
swim
on
land
because
there
is
no
fixed
standard
of
truth
or
meaning
burnham
used
comedy
to
point
the
audience
to
the
slack
jesus
wasn't
the
messiah
get
back
i'm
a
heretic
and
i'm
on
fire
it
was
oedipus
those
holy
nights
the
holy
[ __ ]
but
in
his
recent
work
burnham
pushes
back
against
the
emptiness
of
post-modernism
in
an
attempt
to
find
genuine
meaning
in
things
like
love
and
happiness
we
could
say
that
rather
than
returning
back
to
a
modern
perspective
burnham
pushes
through
post-modernism
to
arrive
at
a
post-post-modern
perspective
where
the
death
of
traditional
meaning
is
an
opportunity
for
the
creation
of
new
meanings
we
can
see
his
progression
by
considering
his
three
specials
as
three
distinct
stages
in
his
comedic
development
his
first
special
words
words
words
explores
the
death
of
art
and
comedy
the
follow-up
what
goes
a
step
further
and
operates
under
the
principle
that
meaning
itself
is
dead
and
his
most
recent
special
make
happy
works
through
the
death
of
meaning
in
an
attempt
to
see
if
real
meaning
and
happiness
are
still
possible
from
the
opening
minutes
of
wordsworth's
words
burnham
aims
to
show
the
audience
the
facade
of
entertainment
it's
all
an
illusion
i'm
wearing
makeup
i'm
wearing
makeup
makeup
and
for
burnham
art
is
dead
because
it's
really
just
a
means
for
something
else
so
people
think
you're
funny
how
do
we
get
those
people's
money
true
to
the
logic
of
late
capitalism
the
real
purpose
of
art
is
simply
creating
opportunities
for
making
more
money
and
presumably
eating
nacho
cheese
doritos
local
supremes
whenever
you
want
and
when
he
speculates
on
what
the
forefathers
of
countercultural
comedy
would
think
his
conclusion
isn't
pretty
we're
rolling
in
dough
while
carlin
rolls
in
his
grave
his
grave
by
pointing
to
the
death
of
art
burnham
shows
how
comedy
has
just
become
a
way
for
charming
narcissists
to
make
as
much
money
as
they
can
with
no
imperative
for
authenticity
or
truth
if
words
words
words
is
burnham's
eulogy
for
the
death
of
art
he
goes
a
step
further
in
what
and
mourns
the
death
of
truth
and
meaning
as
such
heart
is
a
lie
nothing
is
real
and
he's
aware
that
in
the
context
of
people's
actual
problems
laughter
isn't
the
medicine
we've
been
sold
that
said
laughter
it's
the
key
to
everything
it's
the
way
to
solve
all
the
sadness
in
the
world
i
mean
not
for
the
people
that
are
actually
sad
but
the
people
like
us
that
gotta
deal
with
them
all
the
time
unlike
the
adult
swim
comedians
burnham
doesn't
just
embrace
the
chaos
that
comes
from
the
death
of
meaning
he's
asking
what
it
means
for
us
when
meaning
dies
[Music]
and
asking
whether
or
not
the
creation
of
meaning
is
possible
maybe
life
on
earth
could
be
heaven
but
he
has
no
conclusive
answer
in
what
and
he
lets
us
sit
in
that
space
of
not
knowing
[Applause]
if
what
is
the
point
where
he
starts
to
consider
that
comedy
devoid
of
the
aspirations
of
any
higher
meeting
is
just
an
equine
atm
but
we'll
stop
beating
this
dead
horse
when
it
stops
spitting
out
muddy
make
happy
represents
burnham's
attempt
to
use
comedy
not
just
for
criticism
but
as
a
vehicle
to
search
for
meaning
and
he
makes
clear
early
on
that
his
comedy
is
not
a
mode
of
escapism
you
are
here
because
you
want
to
laugh
and
you
want
to
forget
about
your
problems
but
i
cannot
allow
it
you
should
not
laugh
you
should
not
forget
about
your
problems
instead
of
escape
burnham
tries
to
use
comedy
as
an
occasion
for
the
audience
to
truly
encounter
their
problems
and
maybe
themselves
in
the
process
unless
you
underestimate
burnham's
desire
to
make
you
think
about
some
real
[ __ ]
the
world
is
not
funny
twelve
percent
of
the
world's
population
does
not
have
access
to
clean
drinking
water
the
world
is
not
funny
guy
fieri
owns
two
functioning
restaurants
and
while
he
has
some
facts
wrong
burdom
doesn't
want
to
use
culture
as
a
way
to
escape
reality
which
is
one
of
jameson's
worries
about
post-modernism
that
it
removes
the
imperative
for
us
to
be
critical
about
the
world
around
us
like
a
server
who
lets
you
know
that
he's
upselling
you
on
donkey
sauce
not
because
it's
good
but
because
it'll
make
him
money
burnham
lets
us
peek
behind
the
comedian's
curtain
entertainers
they
are
lying
and
they
are
manipulating
you
it's
not
all
harsh
reality
for
burnham
though
as
he
thinks
the
move
past
cynicism
has
some
upside
we
all
deserve
love
even
on
the
days
when
we
aren't
our
best
cause
we
all
suck
but
love
can
make
us
suckless
we
all
deserve
love
it's
the
very
best
part
of
being
alive
and
i
would
know
i
just
turned
25
and
by
adding
that
last
line
he
undercuts
his
own
point
showing
us
a
position
that
straddles
the
line
between
naive
optimism
and
ironic
cynicism
the
show
ends
with
bo
burnham's
take
on
a
kanye
west
concert
circa
2016
[Music]
and
while
it
might
start
off
with
jokes
pringles
listen
to
the
people
i
am
sure
90
of
the
complaint
letters
you
get
are
about
the
width
of
your
cans
just
make
them
wider
he
peppers
this
confession
with
some
more
vulnerable
moments
i
don't
go
to
the
gym
cause
i'm
self-conscious
and
he
closes
out
with
what
seems
like
a
genuine
wish
for
his
audience
thank
you
good
night
i
hope
you're
happy
with
make
happy
burnham
harkens
back
to
the
socratic
tendencies
from
comedians
in
a
previous
era
much
like
the
gadfly
of
athens
himself
burnham
is
urging
his
audience
to
truly
acknowledge
their
problems
and
unhappiness
as
the
unexamined
life
is
not
worth
living
and
like
aristotle
his
final
words
imply
that
happiness
might
be
possible
but
we
have
to
work
at
it
what's
most
interesting
is
that
burnham
doesn't
simply
reject
postmodern
comedy
for
the
sake
of
something
new
instead
he
pushes
postmodern
comedy
to
its
limits
to
see
what's
on
the
other
side
and
over
the
course
of
these
three
specials
we
see
him
transition
from
irony
to
cynicism
to
earnestness
or
from
the
death
of
art
to
the
death
of
meaning
to
the
possibility
of
meaningful
art
after
the
death
of
meaning
part
4
comedy
as
a
cure
for
despair
or
is
rick
sanchez
right
now
you
might
be
wondering
so
what
even
if
burnham
thinks
we
should
try
to
be
happy
we
live
in
a
world
where
goodness
and
truth
seem
increasingly
illusory
and
in
a
world
where
nacho
fries
aren't
even
on
most
taco
bell
menus
anymore
is
it
even
worth
moving
past
post-modern
cynicism
one
telling
factor
is
that
burnham
isn't
the
only
one
trying
to
inject
a
post-post-modern
sincerity
back
into
comedy
a
great
example
is
the
most
critically
successful
comedy
film
of
2017
the
big
sick
which
coincidentally
stars
burnham
as
a
comedian
obsessed
with
success
and
while
it's
a
genuinely
funny
movie
it
explores
family
success
and
love
with
a
sincerity
not
common
in
comedy
films
and
it's
safe
to
guess
that
the
inclusion
of
ray
romano
isn't
a
coincidence
as
we
see
the
cranky
sitcom
out
of
the
90s
portraying
a
complicated
and
compassionate
human
being
we've
also
seen
this
shift
from
irony
to
sincerity
in
shows
like
nathan
for
you
i
mean
the
one
i
do
look
at
you
guys
and
a
part
of
me
is
envious
that
you
know
i
don't
have
someone
in
my
life
that
is
i'm
this
close
with
and
infusing
absurdity
with
a
story
about
genuine
adult
friendship
in
detroiters
and
even
one
of
the
darkest
shows
out
there
bojack
horseman
explores
the
possibility
of
finding
real
meaning
it
takes
a
long
time
to
realize
how
truly
miserable
you
are
and
even
longer
to
see
that
it
doesn't
have
to
be
that
way
only
after
you
give
up
everything
can
you
begin
to
find
a
way
to
be
happy
while
frederick
jameson
has
yet
to
offer
an
analysis
of
the
way
in
which
comedy
can
cure
the
cultural
illness
of
post-modernism
it
might
just
be
the
case
that
burnham's
work
is
telling
us
something
about
what
will
happen
on
the
other
side
of
late
capitalism
either
way
the
crunchwrap
supreme
is
here
to
stay
so
maybe
there
are
eternal
truths
that
we
can
all
still
believe


tf2 hon try your luck on jackpot or join coin flips with the lowest commissions get a chance of winning free money daily by participating in our giveaways tf2 hunt comm the number one place to gamble your team fortress item my fives are cool dude there's just something about slapping another person's hand that really raises my Barry's you know and the best part is Team Fortress 2 lets you do it to other players letting you extend an open palm of friendship to just about anyone at least that's what it's supposed to do a lot of people just decide they want to use it to see around quarters yet dirty cheaters my point is you can slap other people's hands in tf2 and to me that's kick-ass but not everybody wants to give you a high-five some people leave you hanging and some people even want to hang you so I had to ask myself what are the actual chances that you'd get a high-five from any given player in a match what is more likely getting some skin being left hanging or getting yourself killed since I have nothing better to do with my life I decided to find out how how the hell am I gonna get these statistics I have failed every stats class I've ever taken so it's enough to say I'm no accountant but I do know at least something about experiment design instead of my taxes so that means we need diverse enough samples of all the types of people that play tf2 we also need to isolate them in a way that there is little to no consequence for accepting a high-five and little to no benefit from killing me so that if a player is walking through some pathway and happens to stumble upon me standing there with my pants down they will do one of three things give me five mop the floor with me or just plain keep walking and so my life was nothing but high fives for a solid month so let's fast forward to a week ago when I finished partially stopping because I felt I had a large enough sample size but mostly stopping because I was bored and I figured I should probably get on with my life I played 52 games and all I did for those 52 games was run to a random corner of the map and stand there in the high five pose waiting for some Goldilocks to come skipping by and try my porridge which was either one of three things too hot too cold or just right now I was strictly doing this sort of research in casual because every time I tried doing it on a community server all I got was this so fun yeah but not really what I'm looking for at my count I proposed a high five to 510 enemy players and while yes I did get quite a few from my own team all I'm really interested in here are the people who have the power to reject me in the most obvious way possible of those 510 people 146 gave me a high-five 248 of them left me hanging and 116 of them decided to rid the world of the burden known as array 7 so generally speaking at any time playing team fortress 2 the average likelihood of getting a high-five from any given player at any given point is 28.6% there's also a twenty two point seven percent chance that's standing in front of somebody with your hand held up is going to get you violently murdered but the most likely thing of all to happen is you're going to get ignored with a forty eight point six percent likelihood well it's not pretty but it's a metric nonetheless truth be told I expected this number to be a lot higher but I'm totally okay with getting ignored at the end of the day of one less trip back to spawn am i right I also ran into this problem when counting the people that ignored me because the same people that high-fived me would come across me again later and then just keep on walking I suppose not many people want to waste too much of their time giving high-fives to people so basically each player got one chance to make that decision and did my best to keep track of who had already done it and who hasn't but I'm not perfect now those percentages are great and all but that doesn't really tell us anything interesting what would be great is that we had more detailed measurements about what classes were most likely to do what and what classes evoked what kind of response now keep your shoes on because I kept fantastic records of everything because nothing is more exciting than bureaucracy of the nine classes you are the most likely to get a high-five as a medic engineer sniper and well let's just say people love heavies on the flip side the one class an overwhelming percentage of people decided to flat-out obliterate was the spy ain't nobody slap and spy well what would the top be without the bottom of the classes that decided to give me some skin you are the most likely to be high-fived by Demoman soldiers and heavies the highest chances of getting killed come from pyro and spy and the classes that spent the most time ignored me where soldier medic and engineer what we can see from this information is an interesting trend the classes that are generally considered the least dangerous in a one-on-one fight although the jury's still out on this one are the classes that get the most high-fives and by extension the best response out of enemy players but way overshadowing this trend is heavy who has an overwhelming amount of high-fives even more than the amount of people that ignored him now I would like to attribute this to the fact that most friendlies decide to choose the heavy class for one reason or another because he for sure doesn't follow the least dangers in a fight rule as far as I'm concerned that minigun can shred your ass like gas station toilet paper but it goes a bit farther than that we can also see that a heavy player is also the most likely to high-five you back and I actually thought that was pretty funny maybe it's playing what is essentially tf2 and mascot that just makes people want to chill out for a bit I don't know but I felt it was ironic how this cold and calculating killing machine is being played like a giant teddy bear it's poetic I gotta say now if you told me that most people were ready to obliterate pretty much every spy they come across on site I would ask you if you've ever played this game it was a bloodbath all those everyone wiped that French smirk off the face of the earth in an instant it I don't blame them but it was really really funny of all the classes the spy is probably the one to take advantage of you both ignoring him or high-fiving him so what else he is supposed to do what was also interesting about the spy though is that of the classes that did the most of the killing the spy was public enemy number one and I guess the pyro was public enemy number one - my theory here being that both of these classes are pretty popular among newer players and for someone who doesn't yet understand the sort of things that happen in this game it's just easier to shoot first and ask questions never it's hard to say maybe he just feels good to get another kill whether you earned it or not though I'm sure the same could be said for all the rest of the classes - great now of all things a pie charts gonna keep me awake at night at the end of the day though what really gets me is this talk to the hand attitudes engineer seem to have most of them just walked right on by busy little bees on a mission to take care of the hive you don't bother them they won't bother you well until they build a machine specifically designed to bother you and then there's trouble I get it though when you have kids that take care of a high five is pretty low on your priority list and technically medics ignored me a lot too but come on I understand a little bit more with them as a medic main I personally find myself a hell of a lot busier than when I'm an engineer and sure I'm probably gonna get a lot of help from the Dane mains out there from that statement but whatever it's what I think who cares now there are plenty of more places to go with this experiment for one I could study the effects having unusual Zoar fancy cosmetics would have on these numbers or their correlation with the map that was being played at a time or maybe even if it was multiple players in the high five pose but if I'm being honest I'm completely sick of doing this now and while I'm afraid I might have ruined high fives for myself forever it was fun to see the numbers but if nothing else this whole experiment filled me with a sense of dare I say it pride it's almost like tf2 is just a friendly game in general and there aren't many other shooters out there where you can come across someone who's just interested in saying hi it just goes to show that your average player doesn't really take this game that seriously and is totally up for wasting a few seconds of killing to have some goofy fun tf2 just naturally causes those sort of player interactions and I don't think you can get the sort of thing anywhere else which might also explain how we've gotten to this point but if I'm being honest I think deep down none of us would have it any other way [Music]
