The part that makes everybody happier, everybody richer,
00:00:20.360
they're a little bit sexier than other people, aren't they?
00:00:23.920
Yeah, they are. You know they are. You know it.
00:00:37.700
And then you'll see somebody who watches the simultaneous sip.
00:00:42.920
They'll be complete strangers, but they're almost glowing.
00:00:56.020
Yeah, those who come here early and enjoy the simultaneous sip,
00:01:00.100
you have a big advantage in life over those who don't.
00:01:03.340
And if you'd like to take it up to another level,
00:01:41.380
Now, some of you can drink tea and pretend it's coffee.
00:01:57.380
asked people if people are more divided after Biden
00:02:52.520
but I believe that we've shown that every president,
00:02:56.080
no matter who they are, makes everything worse.
00:03:16.920
I'm sorry, it's going to be 50% worse than it was.
00:03:23.440
that's telling us much more than how people want you
00:03:33.080
Because I don't know that you can measure how divided we are.
00:03:45.740
Well, you all know Facebook had a major outage yesterday
00:03:49.820
that reportedly cost Mark Zuckerberg $7 billion.
00:04:22.240
There's something in this story that is hilarious.
00:05:01.660
The exact cause of the outage has not been confirmed by Facebook.
00:05:08.240
But one expert said the problem may have been caused by an internal error made by staff
00:05:13.900
that effectively erased the site from the Internet.
00:05:25.760
Sean Graham Cunningham, the CTO of web security firm Cloudflare,
00:05:31.440
said Facebook made a series of updates to its border gateway protocol,
00:05:35.820
which caused it to, quote, disappear from the Internet.
00:05:38.400
Okay, now maybe it's because I'm the Dilbert cartoonist,
00:05:44.980
and I can see a whole month of material coming.
00:05:52.020
In all likelihood, there's one employee somewhere
00:05:59.000
Somewhere, somewhere in the 700-some billion people,
00:06:11.540
there's one poor bastard who knows he pushed the wrong button
00:06:23.160
I'm trying to think of this poor guy's performance review in a few months.
00:07:05.920
Well, we've been seeing a lot of bad publicity.
00:07:14.900
We've been seeing a lot of bad publicity about how Facebook is destroying youth.
00:07:23.160
Hurting people and hurting people's self-esteem.
00:08:42.680
Everybody think that's going to slide right through?
00:12:33.820
that ignores the most important infrastructure.
