This episode of Stuff- they don't want you to Know- was brought. You buy diner trap, safe, silent and simple. It's a flying, insect trap that captures and kills mosquitos and other flying insects. The diner trap insect trap. Let you take back your yard without using chemicals, pesticides or propane its engineered for three way: protection against mosquitos and other flying insects, but don't take our word for it for twenty percent of all products visit, diner, trap, dot com today and enter the promo code, DD pod. Twenty, that's de T, P, o d to zero, to you by IBM, nice days can come with a hidden cost: seasonal allergies, so. The weather channel is using IBM Watson to protect local allergy risk up to fifteen days out, get allergy insight. With Watson on the weather channel up and whether dot com-

for neither thirsty ghosts and government cover. Ups histories riddled with unexplained events. You can turn back or learn stuff. They dont want a low welcome back to the show. My name is met and, and then we're here with our super producer. No, which makes this stuff they moved, want you to know clothes snowflake there, oh you're right. I said something I can't figure out what it was. I yeah we're pretty excited about this new gadget or against new to US gadget. That's your in the studio stay met, you wanna tell it, but a little bit about it. Just a couple old school synthesizers from me, seventies and eighties, and hopefully knows gonna, be

those in the mix, maybe on the Show- maybe not I don't know I don't know he looks like it could go either way. So, let's start today's episode with an anecdote that you may have heard if you watch our video series earlier this week, two thousand twelve Minnesota this Emily starts getting ads from target. You know every people get out, Yet our gale, Diego right, you're, used to it. It happens, but this time something different they perceived as before, but this time something off the ads or for stuff. Like diapers strollers baby, ocean and stuff you get. The idea like for someone who's spectin lovely things but there's a catch here. Nobody at that house is expecting so that day, is livid Annie, especially about the address specifically to his teenage daughter. That's the whole point: ceiling. I referred to is high school age, daughter, yeah, yeah,

and so she goes to target in person on an instant beast mode. Debbie, tat kind of stuff Turning toward W w e, possibly when he goes back, has it with his daughter, comes back to target and says oh yeah, she's expecting in August. Whoops on all This comes to us through a New York Times, peace that was published on February nineteenth two thousand twelve about obsessively companies track your shopping habits in every little piece information they can about you. Two hopeful making more likely to buy something and the guy Who was interviewed the statistics, man working for target in viewed in this new times article was shut down after he mention this, because what

we are talking about is something that many many companies do but is incredibly controversial, and that is big. Data yeah something that is not necessarily something they don't want you to know, but they don't want you to know about it like this. Kind of unknown thing. Now that you being tracked and all these different ways and looked at. But this is something that feel you should know more about right. It says something that, It is strange that you say it's not necessarily something they don't want you to know, because they certainly don't what other people to know, techniques used together this information, absolutely the hate they might not want you to know some of the things that we can't tell you, because we don't know right, because the data

that's themselves are important, but what may be even more important and even more secretive would be the techniques used to Parson analyze, this information Rowan, even where they're getting some of his data from us, yet thus a white. What is big data if we have to fine, it's not like it's others. Thing is being agribusiness her big bell or something big pomegranate. No big data is just as indefinite any extremely large data set or data set. So they can be analyzed usually now in the modern day. Computationally is the only way to even get your wrap your head around. It patterns and trends, all kinds of associations, especially those relating to human behaviour and were the interactions between humans, silver, since this with big data, would not be the gps of one person it would be.

Gps of a city or people all work at a large company for one come one: GPS companies data more here, but I love the idea- the GPS information of one like certain area in just all of that data- stacked vertically together from everyone. That's been in that area right there different ways to parse this. This big deal usually include sets that Are so large there be on the ability of typical software tools? couldn't, for instance, just take some some data set. His big data size and put it in an exile, spreadsheet Ronan Group Drive. I know there's no way and if you did, it would be the largest file in the history of exile. So When we look at the range of this. We also know that the size of data is constantly moving target because it seems that there is just

more and more and more out there there's really where statistic here somewhere that I think is like ninety, percent of all the data that exist, was made in the last twenty four obtained there's something absolutely its exponential and, as one of the things were gonna talk about here, just the the number of devices that call data, or that you can collect data upon an just everything, that's connected to the internet. Nowadays, it's insane and again, It doesn't go away, one that once you have a data set, it's not like it's irrelevant you're still gonna need that. Maybe for our future ever endeavours that you're gonna do as a big business right for game this would be sort of the of an inventory that doesn't register wait her. Playing games term in your more familiar with this name, how role playing games turned so many people in the hoarders yeah are data, were as well as the inner say. Clearly is her ear. So what

I'll do is, will walk through some history of big day, and then we also talk about some the controversy surrounding the ways it could be used, some of the conspiracies theoretical and actual about this practice. So one way that one way there's I met a group or Gardner they. They have and analyse surname, Doug Laney and he said great way to measure big data would be in the three these, the increasing volume of just how much data you have. The velocity of the data, the speed of the inner now ripe and the variety the cut type of stuff. Where is it? from some, not just all homogenous gps records, but so like what somebody else be boy collect on another data, it's really interesting to look at when, when combined with GPS data are phone records, that's always fun thing any

these three vs that you're mentioning this- is in industry standard the way the whole industry looks at big data with what is evolving La was the third one. That's volume The M variety, Sir GPS and phone records would be something that helps you flesh out virtual persona, but it comes from that seemed device, probably for most true. So another thing that would be more very would be stuff like medical record. Stuffily purchases on your financial record, so you could parse it down to people who lets the dark with it. You can pass it down to us some. We have these four sets of data about this person rights. We know that once Weak or something they go to a clinic specializes in some kind of treatment right and then we know that to their medical records that They have some kind of stability.

Condition- and we see the weather recent purchases? a sky diving suit, so we have built picture with just a very little information about someone who probably has a terminal disease and wants to skydive his was on the bucket listen now we know exactly the kind of things to sell the dispersion and we know exactly the kind of things to sell which is frightening us. So this is, I mean this is an example that you and I just made up now right met. This is not We also know that this has happened to so this is a new information it's tough distress, how quickly personal. Privacy has rooted right and we people of the information age have committed. They have have lost our privacy due to acts of negligence. Not due to aggressively

rooting for this loss of privacy is just who reads terms and conditions right. Well, your time and see we're all very happy about some of the things that providing this type of data gives to us. The gene thing alone, I think, is a massive. I mean a lot of people. Would I can't see for everyone, but for myself to have ability to use a gps when I'm out on the road somewhere he asked of having to look at a physical map is one of the things were Sometimes I just go. You know it's good turn a budget so I need it right in if they know that deserve our highly aware that this is being tracked. But there is also there is such a sort of. Narcissism in paranoia this idea that yet of course, they care where I get my pickles

But of course someone does and don't get me wrong. I mean sure grocery stores for sure do, every time you swipe oilseed card, you generating more information for them to target adds toward you which, talk about whether or not that is no more he wronger, ethically sticky or whenever, wherever you would would someone want that like right people out there. They want Kroger to know exactly what the order, so they can just say: hey here's all the things that you want, and here the coupons right there and there are some people. I would definitely take some coupons for things, but all This is ok. There's saw her later. This is a aside conspiracy here met so you- and I are just old enough to remember before these loyal cards came out everywhere. Oh yeah, when I was in college, they didn't exist. So, though, did they were instituted. Was that for all the young guns out there the way that these cards were institute was at first they, view discounts

things rain, but one it conspiracies. I've heard is that this artificial price. She getting if I can make up. The word ultimately came something where have card didn't really get you would. Disco. It just got you that either the regular overhead a regular price year end the money that are making on top of selling your information to third parties. Cbs is like yeah thanks yes in and your you're being penalised. At least this theory goes for not participating in this programme and that's because the overwhelming majority of companies. I don't just do this. They do this relish and it is profitable, but it is a very, very old idea that I have to say visitors. The worse news about the whole situation was that even if you go somewhere and shop You can using simple that I'm aware of, like public's that I

have a loyalty card for, and I know that you can get one. Maybe you can now but an you'd. Try and save money. They pay with a card of any type. Ah, yes, then that's does veto. Maybe by a separate company, a third party or maybe just your credit card company, but the same things happening today is absurd. You buy IBM, for businesses around the world today is an a restart. It's a rethink! That's why they're partnering with IBM Retailers are keeping their systems up as millions of orders move on mine call centres, are using IBM Watson to manage an influx of customer questions with a sigh and salute is built on the IBM cloud are helping doctors care for patients remotely today were rethinking how business moved forward. So, let's get to it. Let's put smart to work Is it IBM, dot com, slash Smart, to learn more though we're part these days was sharing so Geico we'd like say thanks. Thanks for sharing your savage dance moves thanks to sharing you d, I why haircut fails

thanks for sharing your inner lips ink stop now our turn to share with the Geico give back. The fifteen posts Credit on car and motorcycle policies for current and new customers, because we're made for the level of the fifteen percent. But at last your full policy to visit guy outcomes less give back for more info and eligibility and we'll see couple of different reasons that this happens- you nor or a couple, did DA motivations for this collection. But let's walk through the history. First, ok. So this is not a new thing trying to track data to understand numbers about things that are happening in the world around. You goes back seven thousand years to something that we ve mentioned, but were in Mesopotamia during the though birth of agriculture. When you had to keep track of sea idiotic keep.

Of crops and soil, just everything you needed to know, data about the ground and the plants that you're trying to put in their so yeah. So, for example, I theirs and voting system. That goes to monitor the crows of a I don't know an olive shirk. Our tree right and so you're. Some farmer named John. Stay most very common name in Mesopotamia at the time. I imagine this forward. Steamers has a bunch of olives and they have to have a way to track your over year, the performance of that crop right, and so this is when they begin saying: ok, same has x amount of trees. They yield. Why amount of olives each year. This is what we can expect. This is what we can expect. This is what we can bet against. This is what can't sell in advance perforce made. Very

in two of working jump forward pretty far here, all the way to sixteen sixty three now else happened yet zeal with between seven thousand years ago, a zillion solicitor say improvements are being imprint. Incrementally you know our happened, up until this point, but then the next big changes. Sixteen sixty three when John Grant. I think that's how you correctly spell a grunt, a very pretty he recording examined information about mortality rates because do you bubonic plague just ravaging just entire area at the time- and he decided you want to know more information about like how what is happening here exactly how many people are getting affected wire. They getting affected, let's get information, and we start solving this yet and that cells that are sensible The least you could do right. We Have we ever talked on the show about just how profoundly the plague

the series of things known as the plague change the world know. I'm I've listened to a little too much stuff innocent history class about it. So the information sometimes gets model between what we ve talked about in what I have just heard. These plagues have played such a pro our role in the The evolution of the human species is crazy is the kind of stuff you would want to keep track on. So this guy John it becomes. The father, statistics. We consider that because he does the first statistical analysis that we have recordings of, and he has a book about. It called natural and political observations made upon the bills of mortality sky dry name. It's it's not to feel good subject and people Can you to work off? This statistical analysis was fast war to the twentyth century. Ok, civilian. Ass forward, all the way to eighteen.

Seven. This is when the modern, the age of modern data. Modern dad is when it is born so this gentleman and Herman Hollerin invented a computing machine that could read these holes punch holes in cards that paper. Cars in order to organise census data and This is a huge change because you have too many and just collecting data of going toward it, were getting information than trying to compile that just with humans? yeah in rooms. How do we do that? It was taking so they would do one one census every ten years, I believe at the time and it was taking almost nine years before you would get the results from the census of the brief, the previous census. Yet so He was almost I

worthless. But you just feel like they are running backwards, almost right yeah they had, they had a data set, the would be when it was finally complete useful for a little less than a year. Exactly so leave data processing machine appeared a nineteen forty three. This was, of course it came out of war. A lot technological innovations come out of war and it was, to decipher codes from the nationalist socialist or the Nazis. This thing was named colossus. Pretty cool name and they were intercept messages. They would feel things to colossus would search for patterns in these characters and will work pretty quickly. Yeah, it would go five thousand characters per second, which is huge and reduce the time from weeks, two hours was stroll through some other stuff, you're, just gonna laundry list it soon get to the good stuff. I nineteen due to everybody's favorite, the inner say the National Security Agency is created

ten years. They have more than twelve thousand Krypton colleges contract? That's huge then you ve got in nineteen sixty five. U S. Government fills the first data centre which can store seven hundred and forty two million tax returns, and also a hundred and seventy five million sets of fingerprints now pretty interesting here, because this is is something that was recorded on the magnetic tape and Dave you may I don't know anybody listening, would know. With that is hopefully Maybe you ve heard of this magnetic take. My father is a controller controlling never a newer version of this magnetic tape, all this stuff is backed up to this minority because it so well suppose, LISA Reliable, Also people will recognise the magnetic tape if you ve never seen before every time

you see an old computer with reels on Thou, yet another tape in Captain America, the winter soldier, the sequel to the first captain, America, I there is a scene which spoil for you if you haven't seen it yet, but there is a scene which involves a gigantic computer and not as magnetic tape, awesome, ok, good reference. Now we understand, but there the thing that this whole project was strapped because of fears of quote big brother right being a little bit. You big brother S, little orwellian. So this, however, changed everything because people were thinking what, if we centralize the location of data in oh no, more paper just electronically story Nineteen, eighty nine of british guy, some of you may have heard of TIM Berners Lee of events. What will go on to become the world wide web and with this voom we're going like gang bus

because people were able to generate massive amounts of information much more so than anybody could plausibly reed anyone it's connected up to this inter web. If you will give he it can be sent somewhere else right and then, if you do have a data center, what does it matter where the data is collected? You can send it directly over there almost immediately yeah, it's It's bizarre when we think about that, and especially when we think about how we just let's have a John Henry moment, and can you compare met the ability of a supercomputer to a person? How can I Let's say: ok, let's say in ninety: nine five, the first supercomputer, let's that one as our example it do as much work in one. Second, then a single human being operating calculus

could do in thirty thousand years, thirty thousand years and that's not even the twenty first century. Ladies and gentlemen, now we are at the modern age and two thousand five, a guy from arising media coined the term big data for the first time, this, was your successor to another, less fortunate buzz word, which was web two point: oh yeah yeah. I still use that when a new coke web words her foot, yet so this this idea here is a little bit more bad of the idea of a data set, is just so massive and complex and interwoven that you can use traditional business intelligence tools to figure out. What's going on right and oh five is also the year that who dupe was created by Yahoo, which was built on the back of Google Map produce, and these are just softwares that can basically take data from abuse

bunch of different computers to crunch numbers like in huge amounts and it was the golden index, the entire or the higher worldwide web! That's why these things were created and, the open source to dupe, it was used by a lot organizations to quench crunch through data. That just is it's almost in corner viable. How here? right, and this is not just a private industry thing, of course, and the line is blurry. We seem to talk about these two events in isolation. Is, it an essay using phone records and social media contacts Do you know that knows who that knows? Who on Facebook right now, less now, you're on the list right there, they're, not just using that and target or another private organization. A data, look over. There are companies that just broker data these do,

exist in a vacuum, there's interplay between them and are there Creasy lee- urging to do just some amazing things were getting very, very good. Seeing the present as now before and other governments are involved in this as well and two thousand nine. The indian government did something GIS ambitious. It is like the most reasonable word for this. They decide to take an irish scan fingerprint and photo everyone in India. Every single person in India, there are so many people, yes can you imagine listener? If the government came to you and said, ok we're going to need we're gonna, need an irish scan, a fingerprint and were also need a photograph really nicely framed photograph with good contrast to put it in your view- and everyone in your family put into this

debased, don't worry, we're gonna, make sure secure and we're not can use anything cheer, but for good things, promise right, yeah and that's one point two million people to believe tat. This is the largest biometric data base in the world, as so, there is a great thing that Eric Schmidt from Google also said right just another sense of perspective here yeah he stated at the Techonomy Conference in Tahoe, He stated quote: there were five Exabyte event nation created by the entire world, between the dawn of civilization and two thousand three that same amount is created every two days boom Take that history of the universe. I can't wait till the aliens land and say there like, while These guys figured out how to make pizza barrios and there's a blog about it.

Is sort of like a win people modern times find ancient greek a romanian or african ruins from these empires of bygone days, and there is always some jerk like hundreds of years ago who wrote TIM was here here: yeah always ensure like Dick but from red. It legislate. Her word is a precursor writer so there's but there's so much information being made, and you know it and be a little crass here. But the point I am hoping to make is that This information is not noble for even stuff. That would really extends to human being. You didn't know there were looking for these measures these are movements. These are little bread crumbs of you, scattered around the internet at large, emerges together to make another picture. It's like pointillism, really, that's what four wonderful image, yet it's really good. Every

you do online today or in any electronic medium is recorded by somebody. If you'd living on a keyboard or on a touch bad, it's gettin recorded so enjoy am unless your near gets computer and we ve all learned now what that is so ok, so ill This is another example here. Fortunately, for some of us are not going to name names, but for some of us it is crime to be drunk on the internet, her well sure- and there are people who you know have maybe Philip passion or maybe the AIDS drugs money. They wrote something crazy on the internet and the almost sent it. They said. No wait a minute leap on this. Let me think about this before I write anything well, those goals movements. Those drafts that you make are also open this suggests the active typing, especially Facebook

oh yeah, yeah, don't go strapped in Facebook, right, yeah and all these pieces of information, assemble again that such beautiful image met a point. The list portrait of you and through you are, and the Big worry that a lot of people have- and we see it through syphon pop culture- and we ve seen this for Decades- is that this will be a to go beyond just d, a I believe, of the present repair optical. In view of the present to become predictive yeah Oh yes, you eventually just have in us, standing of what each one of these people is going to do throughout their daily lives. What what the cooperation is going to profit from in the next two three years. You can, I mean, it's crazy to imagine all the information that we will very shortly be able to get from this big data. Ryan whose hands will it be in well

Can you who can act? really understand. So we we also talk about these. Oversees. This stuff is around to stay until them let's go out on humanity yeah this this stuff, around to say oh yeah. It is here to stay unless there, I'm kind of weird fight club moment and all the buildings, the holding all the stuff. The data centers blow up, which is probably not can have there's really good security at those buildings and it's a distributed? Networks will be hard to take the head off be hard to take all of the heads of the hydrogen. That is the information age. Oh, of course, this Income come without controversy. We have. We have a video about we're, creepy things about big data, this umbrella term, which can again apply to government as well as industry. It can learn. Big data. Used to learn your secrets. Gary. So if you think nobody knows that you

team order three large cheese pizzas with ham and in the dark and your house Two a m every Thursday night eating and crying nope sorry fishing reruns, a firefly watching reruns a firefly, no sorry, Somebody knows Papa Johns knows Comcast, probably now gas probably know, listen, maybe Netflix, so the another thing it doesn't have to tell you what it knows. There is surprising lack of transparency on the part of these collecting you're information yeah, dad What is the name of that company Axiom Axion Ojeda, their scary, her yeah. I've been we're making this video and the way it works, is usually Ben. Wool Ben will write an outline for what he's gonna present in the blog. I will shoot it Then, as I'm editing, I end up doing a lot of research and, oh my god, been

just been scaring their website and nothing against you axiom here. Listening worries it's just murky world. Well, it's they serve like the amount of information that axiom has is, is impressive, yeah. And in a way they talk about it, sometimes their offline data that they have used. Online purposes. The I don't know it's save your website, so we we ve talk a little bit about just now, the science fiction elements in how we see some science fact generating, but we now know that this is a very old story. We things like eyes again moves Foundation series which deal with the fictional. At this point. No science of psycho history predicting the future on a large scale event we dealt with Garriga where our personal information, medical information is used to cash not to spoil things. I noticed a year, but

what's the limit, was boilers cigar at what point a kind of stinks I guess you just have to put an alert at the very beginning of something that may have the spoiler in it and just say: don't listen this if you have not seen these movies, read these books or listen to these songs while everything so that those pretty complicated, but we have also seen it in where's minority report we have mentioned, but the Traversed surrounding this, which is expressed in our culture, is, Oh, oh and another one would be the dark night. Oh yeah, yeah, we're Lucius Fox, ok, yeah, any cell phone system monitoring system. So we We see this expressed in the culture of multiple nations, but what it's the real self. What's the real controversy could cut? damage your credit report. If

you had GPS data. That said, you were going to a pawn shop, often or something I don't know, that's gonna scare, anybody! That's that's a made up. Example there, but we do know. The good. You know that possibilities for that kind of stuff, again just abilities are there? And then I love that you pointed out the other side of the argument which is well. Maybe is more convene maybe this is the way things should be. Personalized experience for me, wherever I go yeah certainly sold to us. That way- and I think maybe some people by that I am unfortunately somewhere in the middle. I you ask for my pen event, but guess what I'm giving let her eye all somewhere in the middle. Where I am, I appreciate what d I appreciate the attempts of Let's try to happen, but ultimately, really the bottom line.

Is that these companies are trying to make a profit by targeting right, that's the way you sell things nowadays we're so inundated with advertising that the only real way to get a message across is to send it an arrow street at your eye in your ear like super producer, no brow. We understand that you have recently begun working with a move. Here are some products at my interest. You exist I mean that's the only way you're going to do it now, but a that's that's will be true man, but I Personally, my biggest concern about this, this encroaching on This is my biggest concern, is that it can function as a kind of inherent censorship. Due to like the search bubble the idea that basing your past search history, you only receive results that are quote unquote relevant to you. I don't want to receive their is also relevant to me.

Both sides of any argument. I want to see news that would be in another language. There's gonna be some kind of college course shows you how to get the most balanced, Google its results, and in an all it'll be an entire course that just shows you how to develop over time by searching for certain things at certain times, mother things like screw law and doktor GO debtors were not track. Your search there are places to go. Currently As you know, we ve seen as acquisitions continue in certain corporations, continue to get more and more monolithic and see a future where there is one place to search for things. Well, and there is also this idea than that think is tremendously positively, even noble almost that we had enough data, we had enough sophisticated poor scene algorithms or software then we might be

well to address global problems are ordinarily wouldn't have been able to be solved like what, if there were a way to US the mass of extinction of earth wildlife riot indeed in that's amazing- and I love that view, but, conversely, yet you could. Also with that same data, storm bout, a hall every form of resistance against a certain movement. That's true right. And this this becomes a matter of. I don't know the short term. Stuff versus the long term problems absolutely with. That being said, let's go straight to the Easy South Africa, the conspiracy both theoretical and actual others at there's a this theory. Troubling, possibility the kind of thing that fi writer would make a disturbing novel about that. We could eventually arrive at a world in which sir

Stance in accident has fallen to the statistical hand of fate incertitude, so that something very much like an artificial god knows how you will live your days from the cradle to the grave yeah. I don't like that in its Everything there is some silver lining, yellow There are many competitors right now in this vase? There's not just one big data right company right, so at least you know much in the same way that their shadowy forces trying to control the world. There are alot of em there's, not just one group yet These groups might not necessarily work together, especially through competing in a private sphere. Right, not unless it sooner helpful for the bottom line right. They gather their data sets an end. They guard their techniques, pretty jealously also.

The one thing we talk about this super all knowing Whizzer laws type computer. The fact of the matter is that we still apparently can't Billy computer. They can predict the weather. No, there there's always with the weather. There's always that that chaos factor almost her you can't there. So it's so complex all of the different moving parts that create the weather but light. Then what I guess it would be. I guess the same will be true for big data there. So many for moving parts is so complex. Yet like it would be- I don't know easier to build something that can predict the weather or something that can predict the passage, of time in a country you know here, oh we'll talk before our fear about this in and maybe on air to, but would you professor, a long time ago and indifferent life, who was working with dark,

to build an artificial model of a country where idea that if they programmed enough data points to either in assign them to these individuals, then could measure kind of like foundation in real life. They could measure deal. We heard of trends. You know my god, if Police. If support for police goes up by experts sent a what will be the act upon the lively hurried, the likelihood of the regimes collapse the and I don't know where he went with it, but Some amazing fine and inspiring stuff either way. You can't talk about it anywhere, and this and still our knowledge listeners. This remains a theoretical thing, but it is a fact that, big business, doing stuff like this, all the. And not necessarily euros

there's somebody out there just rubbing their hands together, supervillain style, waiting for you to slip. So they can. You tell tell your mom that you are smoking cigarettes or something here there. What what is more about. This is not a but a moral providing a better service or being a better service. To the consumer. But now consumers are increasingly the product as well right, exactly information is the thing the commodity is so weird information is commodity. I guess it's been coming for a long time, and it has been that way for a long time, just strange to think of on this scale? It's almost like the nation one seeing it is the access and ability to collect massive amounts of information? Is this new gold rush thing?

yeah you're killing it with comparisons. That's what I'm saying we're on these large corporations that are building in a massive super, Peter Complexes of supercomputers they can just crunch numbers meant well we're, but we are at a point where You know there could be some positive for this if we ever was able to if these two such were able to, for instance, help Humanity combat, I don't know over fishing or help our humanity figure out the best way to prove mass starvation or disease. But again you know that those things are also. They seem to be more complex than weather patterns. State they are in I'd. Just is hard for me to imagine someone looking at those problem and making a profit from or will you know devising a way to make a profit from it and use all these assets in order to do something good

I'm sorry man. My faith in you justly got take down a couple notches for some reason in thinking about all this stuff, because oh, really, what we're talking about here are we is to sell things.
