What is the difference between editing images in 8-bit or 16-bit? While it should be obvious that 16-bit color is significantly better than 8-bit color. After all, 8-bit is only 16.7 million colors when comparing that to 16-bit which is 2.81 Trillion Colors. However, it just doesn't seem that way to the naked eye. This is because humans can only see less than 10 million colors anyway. Since 8-bit already exceeds 16 million colors, why in the world do we need to work in a bit depth that moves us into trillions of colors? Visually, they both look the same, why use the higher resolution?

888元“租”一年PS和LR，让我租就租？敢翻翻旧账吗？　　早安，我是叶梓，今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的1032天。　　昨天下午我们被一则消息刷屏了，Adobe（也就是大名鼎鼎的Photoshop的出品方）突然发布了“Creative Cloud（也就是CC版的）中国摄影计划”。这是什么意思呢？意思就是我们购买正版Photoshop和Lightroom的价格大大降低了，而且购买的方法也变得非常简单。这两个软件是摄影师必备软件，Photoshop，也就是PS，它主要负责复杂的图像处理，Lightroom则可以智能化的管理照片库，并快速、高效地修片。Adobe发布CC版的中国摄影计划，这是中国摄影界的一大利好——因为我们已经被“歧视”了太久了。　　为什么这么说呢？以前购买Photoshop需要七八千块钱，购买Lightroom还需要再加千把块（因为现在Adobe的官网已经改成了新的价格，所以我查不到之前的准确定价了，在我的记忆中大概是这个数）。这个价格贵吗？对于职业摄影师来咬咬牙是可以的，但对于摄影爱好者来说这价格就有点让人心寒了，毕竟是一套单反的钱啊！当时Adobe看大家都用不起，还面向高校教师和学生推出了一个“校园先锋计划”，凭证件买Photoshop只要349元，但让学生掏这个钱其实也不容易。叶梓应邀访问Adobe，就软件产品及社交媒体的运用等问题与各国代表交换意见。　　针对价格问题我还专门问过Adobe公司。2012年的时候我去Adobe参加了一个会议，向各国代表们提出了一系列的有关软件和市场策略方面的建议，其中我就专门谈到了中国的定价问题。他们给我的答案是中国定价高和全球定价策略有关，比如说完整版Photoshop美国定价900美金，根据汇率，中国就至少要定价6300块人民币左右，加上关税后最终的定价还要更高。这确实没啥好说的，因为如果中国版的软件卖得比其他国家便宜的话，那么那些国家的用户就可以在中国采购正版软件来使用，这会影响其他地区的定价策略。在这种情况下，我们要怪只能怪我们国家的收入水平赶不上发达国家，人民币的购买力赶不上发达国家。这是没办法的事。这么多年来我一直严格要求我的群里不能传播盗版软件，也在各种场合呼吁大家用正版，但私底下学生们到底用正版的会有多少？这还真不好说。叶梓受邀参加Adobe新品发布会，与Adobe高层共同启动发布按钮。　　也是2012年，Adobe推出了CS6版本，当时我还和他们一起按下了发布会的按钮，点亮了CS6的灯，Adobe赠送了我们公司几套全套的的CS6版本的软件。CS6这个版本依然和以前一样，是以“买断”的形式销售的，价格也还是那个价格。　　但是后来的事情的发展就比较奇怪了，2013年Adobe在国际市场上推出了Creative Cloud（也就是CC）版本的软件，但中国没有，中国能买到的依然是CS6。Adobe中国给我的解释是CS6和CC只是国内外叫法不同，功能其实是类似的。CC版，也就是“Creative Cloud”因为涉及“Cloud”（也就是云端）功能，进中国有些政策阻碍，所以暂时不对中国用户提供云端服务。好，如果只是没有云，这些软件的其他功能和定价都是一样的，那我们也就无所谓了，用着CS6就好。　　可事情并没有这么简单，我发现Adobe在国外的CC版本的软件已经不再是“买断”式的付款，而是改成了所谓的“订阅模式”，你也可以理解为月租、年租模式，定价变得很低。价格变成了多少呢？以香港为例，现在在香港订阅一个所谓的摄影计划（也就是一个Photoshop和一个Lightroom软件）所需要的月费是69港币，按照今天的已经跌了的人民币的汇率换算是61.21元，你看，就是一顿肯德基的钱嘛！全年下来是734.5元。而全套的20多个Adobe软件全要的话，每个月的订阅价格是408港币，也就是367.25元人民币，这可是20多个软件啊！全年花费比买一个Photoshop还低一半。　　说到这里有人可能会比较疑惑，他们可能会想，Photoshop和Lightroom以前虽然要收几千块，但是好歹是终身买断软件，可以无限期使用，现在每年收个七八百，没几年就赶上买断的价格了，怎么能说是便宜了呢？这不是变相涨价了吗？不对，你没有考虑到一个关键性的问题：Photoshop和Lightroom现在几乎是每年都会升级一个新的版本，而依照之前的逻辑，你买断的只是当前版本的软件，想用最新版的？对不起，你得重新付费大几千。而现在相机升级换代也很快，想打开最新款相机的RAW格式照片，有的时候你还真得升级软件版本。一个版本一个版本买下去，你还真吃不消。按照月费、年费订阅软件就完全没有这个烦恼了，出新版本了？点一下“更新”按钮就能搞定。　　这样一来国内外的差距就拉大了，国内只能联系经销商用几千块买断一个版本的软件，国外却可以按月交一个非常廉价的租金，而且永远用最新版，这相当于无息分期付款了。我们当然眼红了。当时我印象特别深刻的一件事是Adobe官网的左下角可以选择国家/地区，我只要选择其他国家/地区，就可以看到订阅的价格，但只要选择“中国”，对不起，这里只有一个联系经销商的方式，你需要通过最原始的方式用在线留言、邮件、电话联系来经销商购买软件，贵就算了，完全无法自助下单。当时真的是气不打一处来。　　那么我就在想，我们虽然身在国内，但是否可以“假装”活在境外，享受境外的订阅价格呢？经过一番摸索我发现是可以的，我注册了一个新的Adobe官网的账号，注册地址填成了我远在澳洲一位朋友的地址，然后用国际信用卡支付澳币给Adobe公司。这是非常麻烦的，刚开始的时候Adobe审核很严，你需要一个真实的境外收件地址，然后你还要有一张国际信用卡才行。我甚至在网易云课堂的“数码后期三部曲”和“自由摄影师”后期章节的一开头专门有一节课教大家如何用低价在境外订阅Adobe的正版软件。Adobe在线分享会官方宣传海报　　但Adobe中国显然不建议我这么做——教学生们直接买境外软件，那Adobe在中国的公司还赚什么？我每次为Adobe讲课前他们都要再三嘱咐我：千万别提CC，千万别在屏幕上秀出CC版的软件，哪怕是一个图标也不行，你只要教CS6就好。好吧，我也只能配合，谁让这是Adobe的主场呢？但是在我的主场的课堂里，我还是会教学生们订阅CC，毕竟买正版就比用盗版好。后来，随着CC版本的不断升级，CS6彻底被抛弃了，不再是他们之前说的“除了云端，功能的一样的”的那么一种情况了，中国好像也能买到CC版本的软件了，不过依然是“买”而不是“订阅”，价格也一直高高在上，购买方式也依然原始得不行。　　就这样生生耗了五六年，就在昨天，Adobe终于，终于，终于宣布中国也有了可供订阅的CC版的摄影计划了，圈子里基本上是欢呼声一片。虽然价格比香港贵了一百块，但是付钱方便多了，可以在官网或是天猫旗舰店付款，也不用什么国际信用卡了。虽然我们这些骨灰级用户已经在境外订阅了，不太可能迁回国内，但对于很多一直对正版软件的价格望而却步的潜在用户，现在终于有了个能用上正版Photoshop和Lightroom的机会，毕竟用正版省心、安心。　　不过现在Adobe官网和天猫店里也只有一张海报，软件还没有正式上架。而且虽然也叫Creative Cloud，但是他们目前对中国版软件有没有提供云服务只字未提。这个云服务真的挺好用的，用Phtoshop时你可以把常用的设计素材、字体存在云端，还可以从云端下载、购买精品的商用素材，用Lightroom的时候呢电脑和手机端可以同步展示、整理、处理照片，这对我们这种四处“浪”、四处拍照的人来说非常重要。如果中国也有了“云”，而且云服务器也放在中国，那就再好不过了，我也会立马迁回国内，毕竟连境外云服务的网速太让人着急了。　　对了，对我来说还有一个问题。我需要的是全套Adobe的软件，除了摄影用的Photoshop和Lightroom以外，我还需要剪辑软件Premiere，需要音频处理软件Audition，需要矢量图设计软件Illustrator，需要网页设计软件Dreamweaver，需要排版软件InDesign……这些软件的“大全套”目前在Adobe中国官网还是只能找经销商买断，这大套装的订阅版又要什么时候才能进中国呢？还有，为什么我们现在只看到了年费888元，中国用户难道不可以按月付款吗？这些都要等到上架那天才会知道答案了。　　但无论如何，过不了多久，大家就可以开开心心剁手了。用了这么多年的盗版软件，欠Adobe的这次终于可以还了。最后，我大发慈悲的再教你一个方法，让你可以在Adobe的888的价格基础上再五折购买正版软件，不过语音里我就不说了，你们可以拉到本文的底部自己看。在其他平台听语音的朋友，可以关注微信公众号“摄影早自习”，发送“Adobe”就能看到这篇文章。　　不过软件是便宜了，如果没审美，没方法，修片也只能是瞎调，想好好学一学后期处理，你可以在网易云课堂搜索“数码后期三部曲”课程，你也可以在网易云课堂学习“自由摄影师”这门222课的摄影大课，里面包含了全部的“数码后期三部曲”的内容。　　听完这段往事，你就终于知道这888元是多么的来之不易，知道为什么大家要欢呼了。Adobe微信公众号里的留言　　今天的早自习就到这里，我是叶梓。每天早上6:30，微信公众号“摄影早自习”，不见不散！- 小贴士 -如何五折订阅正版Adobe软件？一个Adobe账号可供两台电脑使用，甚至可以一套用在Windows一套用在Mac上，你可以和熟悉的朋友“拼团”购买。但请不要和陌生人“拼团”，以免上当。

888元“租”一年PS和LR，让我租就租？敢翻翻旧账吗？　　早安，我是叶梓，今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的1032天。　　昨天下午我们被一则消息刷屏了，Adobe（也就是大名鼎鼎的Photoshop的出品方）突然发布了“Creative Cloud（也就是CC版的）中国摄影计划”。这是什么意思呢？意思就是我们购买正版Photoshop和Lightroom的价格大大降低了，而且购买的方法也变得非常简单。这两个软件是摄影师必备软件，Photoshop，也就是PS，它主要负责复杂的图像处理，Lightroom则可以智能化的管理照片库，并快速、高效地修片。Adobe发布CC版的中国摄影计划，这是中国摄影界的一大利好——因为我们已经被“歧视”了太久了。　　为什么这么说呢？以前购买Photoshop需要七八千块钱，购买Lightroom还需要再加千把块（因为现在Adobe的官网已经改成了新的价格，所以我查不到之前的准确定价了，在我的记忆中大概是这个数）。这个价格贵吗？对于职业摄影师来咬咬牙是可以的，但对于摄影爱好者来说这价格就有点让人心寒了，毕竟是一套单反的钱啊！当时Adobe看大家都用不起，还面向高校教师和学生推出了一个“校园先锋计划”，凭证件买Photoshop只要349元，但让学生掏这个钱其实也不容易。叶梓应邀访问Adobe，就软件产品及社交媒体的运用等问题与各国代表交换意见。　　针对价格问题我还专门问过Adobe公司。2012年的时候我去Adobe参加了一个会议，向各国代表们提出了一系列的有关软件和市场策略方面的建议，其中我就专门谈到了中国的定价问题。他们给我的答案是中国定价高和全球定价策略有关，比如说完整版Photoshop美国定价900美金，根据汇率，中国就至少要定价6300块人民币左右，加上关税后最终的定价还要更高。这确实没啥好说的，因为如果中国版的软件卖得比其他国家便宜的话，那么那些国家的用户就可以在中国采购正版软件来使用，这会影响其他地区的定价策略。在这种情况下，我们要怪只能怪我们国家的收入水平赶不上发达国家，人民币的购买力赶不上发达国家。这是没办法的事。这么多年来我一直严格要求我的群里不能传播盗版软件，也在各种场合呼吁大家用正版，但私底下学生们到底用正版的会有多少？这还真不好说。叶梓受邀参加Adobe新品发布会，与Adobe高层共同启动发布按钮。　　也是2012年，Adobe推出了CS6版本，当时我还和他们一起按下了发布会的按钮，点亮了CS6的灯，Adobe赠送了我们公司几套全套的的CS6版本的软件。CS6这个版本依然和以前一样，是以“买断”的形式销售的，价格也还是那个价格。　　但是后来的事情的发展就比较奇怪了，2013年Adobe在国际市场上推出了Creative Cloud（也就是CC）版本的软件，但中国没有，中国能买到的依然是CS6。Adobe中国给我的解释是CS6和CC只是国内外叫法不同，功能其实是类似的。CC版，也就是“Creative Cloud”因为涉及“Cloud”（也就是云端）功能，进中国有些政策阻碍，所以暂时不对中国用户提供云端服务。好，如果只是没有云，这些软件的其他功能和定价都是一样的，那我们也就无所谓了，用着CS6就好。　　可事情并没有这么简单，我发现Adobe在国外的CC版本的软件已经不再是“买断”式的付款，而是改成了所谓的“订阅模式”，你也可以理解为月租、年租模式，定价变得很低。价格变成了多少呢？以香港为例，现在在香港订阅一个所谓的摄影计划（也就是一个Photoshop和一个Lightroom软件）所需要的月费是69港币，按照今天的已经跌了的人民币的汇率换算是61.21元，你看，就是一顿肯德基的钱嘛！全年下来是734.5元。而全套的20多个Adobe软件全要的话，每个月的订阅价格是408港币，也就是367.25元人民币，这可是20多个软件啊！全年花费比买一个Photoshop还低一半。　　说到这里有人可能会比较疑惑，他们可能会想，Photoshop和Lightroom以前虽然要收几千块，但是好歹是终身买断软件，可以无限期使用，现在每年收个七八百，没几年就赶上买断的价格了，怎么能说是便宜了呢？这不是变相涨价了吗？不对，你没有考虑到一个关键性的问题：Photoshop和Lightroom现在几乎是每年都会升级一个新的版本，而依照之前的逻辑，你买断的只是当前版本的软件，想用最新版的？对不起，你得重新付费大几千。而现在相机升级换代也很快，想打开最新款相机的RAW格式照片，有的时候你还真得升级软件版本。一个版本一个版本买下去，你还真吃不消。按照月费、年费订阅软件就完全没有这个烦恼了，出新版本了？点一下“更新”按钮就能搞定。　　这样一来国内外的差距就拉大了，国内只能联系经销商用几千块买断一个版本的软件，国外却可以按月交一个非常廉价的租金，而且永远用最新版，这相当于无息分期付款了。我们当然眼红了。当时我印象特别深刻的一件事是Adobe官网的左下角可以选择国家/地区，我只要选择其他国家/地区，就可以看到订阅的价格，但只要选择“中国”，对不起，这里只有一个联系经销商的方式，你需要通过最原始的方式用在线留言、邮件、电话联系来经销商购买软件，贵就算了，完全无法自助下单。当时真的是气不打一处来。　　那么我就在想，我们虽然身在国内，但是否可以“假装”活在境外，享受境外的订阅价格呢？经过一番摸索我发现是可以的，我注册了一个新的Adobe官网的账号，注册地址填成了我远在澳洲一位朋友的地址，然后用国际信用卡支付澳币给Adobe公司。这是非常麻烦的，刚开始的时候Adobe审核很严，你需要一个真实的境外收件地址，然后你还要有一张国际信用卡才行。我甚至在网易云课堂的“数码后期三部曲”和“自由摄影师”后期章节的一开头专门有一节课教大家如何用低价在境外订阅Adobe的正版软件。Adobe在线分享会官方宣传海报　　但Adobe中国显然不建议我这么做——教学生们直接买境外软件，那Adobe在中国的公司还赚什么？我每次为Adobe讲课前他们都要再三嘱咐我：千万别提CC，千万别在屏幕上秀出CC版的软件，哪怕是一个图标也不行，你只要教CS6就好。好吧，我也只能配合，谁让这是Adobe的主场呢？但是在我的主场的课堂里，我还是会教学生们订阅CC，毕竟买正版就比用盗版好。后来，随着CC版本的不断升级，CS6彻底被抛弃了，不再是他们之前说的“除了云端，功能的一样的”的那么一种情况了，中国好像也能买到CC版本的软件了，不过依然是“买”而不是“订阅”，价格也一直高高在上，购买方式也依然原始得不行。　　就这样生生耗了五六年，就在昨天，Adobe终于，终于，终于宣布中国也有了可供订阅的CC版的摄影计划了，圈子里基本上是欢呼声一片。虽然价格比香港贵了一百块，但是付钱方便多了，可以在官网或是天猫旗舰店付款，也不用什么国际信用卡了。虽然我们这些骨灰级用户已经在境外订阅了，不太可能迁回国内，但对于很多一直对正版软件的价格望而却步的潜在用户，现在终于有了个能用上正版Photoshop和Lightroom的机会，毕竟用正版省心、安心。　　不过现在Adobe官网和天猫店里也只有一张海报，软件还没有正式上架。而且虽然也叫Creative Cloud，但是他们目前对中国版软件有没有提供云服务只字未提。这个云服务真的挺好用的，用Phtoshop时你可以把常用的设计素材、字体存在云端，还可以从云端下载、购买精品的商用素材，用Lightroom的时候呢电脑和手机端可以同步展示、整理、处理照片，这对我们这种四处“浪”、四处拍照的人来说非常重要。如果中国也有了“云”，而且云服务器也放在中国，那就再好不过了，我也会立马迁回国内，毕竟连境外云服务的网速太让人着急了。　　对了，对我来说还有一个问题。我需要的是全套Adobe的软件，除了摄影用的Photoshop和Lightroom以外，我还需要剪辑软件Premiere，需要音频处理软件Audition，需要矢量图设计软件Illustrator，需要网页设计软件Dreamweaver，需要排版软件InDesign……这些软件的“大全套”目前在Adobe中国官网还是只能找经销商买断，这大套装的订阅版又要什么时候才能进中国呢？还有，为什么我们现在只看到了年费888元，中国用户难道不可以按月付款吗？这些都要等到上架那天才会知道答案了。　　但无论如何，过不了多久，大家就可以开开心心剁手了。用了这么多年的盗版软件，欠Adobe的这次终于可以还了。最后，我大发慈悲的再教你一个方法，让你可以在Adobe的888的价格基础上再五折购买正版软件，不过语音里我就不说了，你们可以拉到本文的底部自己看。在其他平台听语音的朋友，可以关注微信公众号“摄影早自习”，发送“Adobe”就能看到这篇文章。　　不过软件是便宜了，如果没审美，没方法，修片也只能是瞎调，想好好学一学后期处理，你可以在网易云课堂搜索“数码后期三部曲”课程，你也可以在网易云课堂学习“自由摄影师”这门222课的摄影大课，里面包含了全部的“数码后期三部曲”的内容。　　听完这段往事，你就终于知道这888元是多么的来之不易，知道为什么大家要欢呼了。Adobe微信公众号里的留言　　今天的早自习就到这里，我是叶梓。每天早上6:30，微信公众号“摄影早自习”，不见不散！- 小贴士 -如何五折订阅正版Adobe软件？一个Adobe账号可供两台电脑使用，甚至可以一套用在Windows一套用在Mac上，你可以和熟悉的朋友“拼团”购买。但请不要和陌生人“拼团”，以免上当。

Respecto al tema de tableta gráfica es algo que me llama poderosamente la atención, pero me temo que si adquiero una tableta tendré que actualizar mi sistema operativo o directamente el equipo. ¿Es así, verdad? Tengo un iMac de 2010 con 10.6.8 de S.O. Viejuno, lo sé. No he actualizado por temas de funcionamiento de los programas de diseño gráfico que tengo instalados desde hace años, para poder seguir abriendo trabajos antiguos, etc. un rollo. Lo cierto es que hice una vez la prueba actualizando al Capitán y al abrir programas en el nuevo S.O. se desconfiguraba todo. Delicado poder interrumpir mi trabajo unas semanas, pero bueno. Espero reengancharme de nuevo a los cursos, que tienen muy buena pinta los últimos que habéis colgado. Quedé muy contento con los primeros que hice. Un saludo y gracias de antemano, chicos. Pablo. Muchas gracias a ti Pablo. Sobre la primera cuestión que nos planteas del Curso de Photoshop, sí, se puede, ya que no está usando nada de la versión CC. Además la primera versión del CC 2018 fallaba.

New beta feature - Google Automated Transcription of the show Transcript Jason: [0:25] Welcome to the Jason and Scott show this is episode 113 being recorded on Sunday January 14th 2018 I'm your host Jason retailgeek Goldberg and as usual I'm here with your host Scot Wingo. Scot: [0:39] Hey Jason and welcome back Jason Scott show listeners Jason this is one of those are very rare times over the course of the Year where we are actually not only in the same town but in the same room at the same time. Jason: [0:53] I know it's awesome we make eye contact while we're talking this is very weird for me. Scot: [0:58] Yeah it's very weird I'm usually just staring deeply into the the computer. Jason: [1:02] I'm staring deeply into a photo of you I have over my computer. Scot: [1:05] Are there candles. Jason: [1:07] We don't need to get in any more specific. Scot: [1:08] Call Sue. Jason: [1:12] Why are we here Together Scott. Scot: [1:13] We are here at Big Beautiful New York City for NRS Big Show. It's that time of year again where were you here making the Trek down to the Javits Center no snow on the ground this year I think that's the thing the last three in RFC I've been trudging through snow but this one's pretty dry. Jason: [1:30] There's no snow yet but the mean in RF weather tradition is the blizzard that comes in during the show and makes it impossible to go home after the show and if I'm if I'm remembering correctly there is it forecast for snow during the show so we'll have to see. Scot: [1:45] We may be doing a lot of podcast from the the podcast you here in New York. Jason: [1:49] Exactly are our misery could be our listeners benefit. Scot: [1:53] And what's up we definitely want to do a little preview of some of the things that were already hearing about it in RF but you are fresh out of Vegas where you were at CES I want to hear all about your CS6 transfer. Exciting things I saw the Tweet about but I'm sure there's more color you can share. Jason: [2:10] Yeah so there's an annual tradition for me is you know you celebrate New Years and then you'll get on a plane and fly to Las Vegas with, 180000 of your closest friends to see the latest, new Innovations in electronics and then you go straight from there to New York for the blizzard and the big interrupt retail shop and I go to CES, almost every year I think this is my 32nd 2-year CES largely to see, new trends that might affect our our clients on our Industries. Scot: [2:48] Now that he's become Dex and CS remember and you probably go if we're talking 32 years they used to be separate shows then it kind of merged and now you can hardly see a computer anywhere at at CVS. Jason: [3:01] Yeah so they were competing shows context was in November CES is in January they both briefly also tried to have second shows in Chicago at another time of year was that that wasn't very successful, condex went out of business some of those exhibitors then moved over to CES and over history at various times they've been industries that. UCS is an important part of their business and then moved on so I can the video games used to all exhibit at CES they outgrew it and launch their own show which is he three computers are not a, super robust part of the Consumer Electronics ecosystem at the moment they're pretty flat. Although there is a big push people are feeling like the Esports and the high-end gaming is. Starting to drive a meaningful niche of these high-performance laptop sales. Scot: [3:53] One category that is CS now is Auto City Autos used to be kind of at their show which is called a Syma and then another part of SEMA Ace. Jason: [4:03] Cosima is the auto parts show that's in Las Vegas there there's a course of the Detroit Auto Show is going on right now in Detroit which is where all the. Karma you typically see car manufacturers in Detroit launching their new Mustangs and those are two things and you'd get the like. Tire guys in the the oil filter guys and all that at SEMA and for many years one of the big pieces of the consumer electronic show was the aftermarket. Car audio industry which is of course almost completely dead. Scot: [4:34] Yeah and then we had GPS is for a while they were big now actually Autumn acres are there in a pretty big way right. Jason: [4:40] Exactly so they have taken over the hall that used to have the car stereo equipment in it and they're largely showing car tech in so you know they're they're typically not launching their new vehicles. It in Las Vegas they're typically showing the new in-dash platform their new automation things the new wireless Services they're offering and what's what's a little funny is you you go to all the car boots and you. You might say you'll see some cars but you see a lot more like. Check components from the cars and then you go to all the other Halls where you see the the major ingredient tech companies like Bosch and Intel and Qualcomm that make alot of the parts in the car. And they are of course have fancy complete cars and they're both so you go to the tech show to see the cars in the car show to see the tech. Scot: [5:31] So what's new in cars is it is there still a big battle for the Smart Car platform already moved on to self driving cuz I know Intel's bigger than that what were some of the big things and Auto. Jason: [5:41] Dazzled by far the big Trend in the the car boots this year is Automation and particular the self-driving Vehicles they have this system. This ranking system from. Animated level 1 through 5 so I go level 1 car has tools that help you drive better like a flashing light that tells you that the car in front of you stops and two can kind of assist you and certain things. Like like a break for you when there's a car in front of you three can let you have your hands off the wheel for tonight you have your eyes off the wheel in five doesn't have a wheel, inside there a lot of now level 3 cars being shown at the at the show and a lot of the, the tech Innovation was around like these these autonomous vehicles and then to a lesser extent. Electric vehicles in new charging Technologies and things like that Qualcomm has a thing called Halo which is wireless charging for your car so you have a plate in your garage and you. You just parked the car over the plate and it charges it overnight free. Scot: [6:51] This may seem Irrelevant for retail but I saw on CNBC Ford, you announced they're very excited about driverless cars but they really kind of they don't believe that they'll be kind of a fleet kind of a thing like an Uber there really more into package delivery so I think that it's going to last mile. Absolution. That was kind of interesting that the others there's a major auto manufacturer that really thinks it's going to be really more for delivery and he specifically talked about new from stores to do consumers. Actually competing with FedEx Amazon ups and all those kind of folks. Jason: [7:26] Yeah yeah I mean there's another time we can talk about from that the show is Robotics and so it's kind of a combination of Robotics and automation there's a lot of interesting potential, new helping that last mile but the Ford booth at CES is kind of interesting they really focused on. Their vision for what a city looks like in a world in which most of the vehicles are autonomous and so one of the big questions that they they were trying to answer in their Booth is. How do pedestrians interact with autonomous vehicles right like to, often when you're crossing a busy street and there's a crosswalk you may go out of your way to make eye contact with a driver before you just make a leap of faith in Jump front of the vehicle so what do passengers expect to do. When an autonomous car is coming up to a crosswalk or those kinds of things, in one of the things that they did to study this is they really did this big research study on future cities but they actually invented a costume that looks like a car seat. And so they say they dress the guy up to make him look like the empty seat of the car and sat him down in the car so it was a fake autonomous vehicle. I'm just thinking that that's a funny job to go home and tell your parents you just got is your portraying a car seat. Scot: [8:41] Or when you have time to go to Starbucks I must look really weird it's like here comes a Walkin car seat. Jason: [8:45] Exactly so they videotaped all these consumer reactions and they have this notion around like we'll probably have to have some Universal standards for like a lighting system in the car that you know as pedestrians know that they're being seen or those kinds of things. Scot: [8:59] When ironic when is the new there's a Netflix series that started in the BBC and then got picked up but it's called Black Mirror and in this they just released season 4 I don't know if you watch it or not I think you're behind on everything. Jason: [9:12] I am kind of on most of the stuff you give me Groupon so that's that's next on my list. Scot: [9:17] No spoilers but one of the episodes it has this kind of plot device where there is a driverless vehicle that delivers pizzas and it kind of. Knock some of this guy and it's not really part of the whole thing but the looking shape of it was really interesting like you just wanted to know a lot of time thinking about how this look and then I saw that CS. Pizza Hut or. Jason: [9:37] Toyota and Pizza Hut add a had a partnership for an autonomous pizza deliver. Scot: [9:40] And it was just like it was exactly like the thing on dark mirror so I was really really very strange and then I saw an article about it and there was no coordination or anything it was just. Jason: [9:51] I wonder who inspired who think they're cleaning independent invention and then. Scot: [9:57] It's kind of has to be because well if the show had known about pizza thing it could have been but the shows literally been out for like that came out December. Like 30th or something so there's no way they could have designed a prototype that fast but it's kind of really Tales from the future kind of a thing to happen there. Okay so that's Autos then as I was sitting watching remotely and not fighting for calves with a hundred and eighty thousand other people I saw, a lot of Twitter traffic in stories were around the the home automation and then also kind of the battle of the smart speakers and intelligent thing so so last year report from cs1, this year it looks like Google is really stepping it up don't give us an update on what you saw there. Jason: [10:41] Jump to that last year we didn't necessarily expect partsmart, speakers to be a big part of CES but you went to the show and Amazon with embedded in like over 400 devices at the show and you know I seem to be ubiquitous in Amazon didn't have a, their own presents at the show yet they were getting on the bus, a big part of why I say yes existed to generate PR to drive future sales and so most people declare the Amazon the winter that show they didn't take a booth and yet they had this great, present so this year we are all curious to see if they would. Double down on that or if any of their competitors would make up any ground and it really clearly has emerged a two-horse race with Amazon and Google so this was probably the death knell for Cortana Cortana was the first born, on the PC is part of the Windows operating system and even all the Windows laptop manufacturers are now shipping laptops that are Alexa enabled, not Cortana enabled. Scot: [11:40] No it's a Samsung when I can't remember its name. Jason: [11:42] Bixby in Samsung is definitely has an interesting strategy overall theme of the show is. The traditional product you expect to see the show we're not very improved from last year it was a very irritable year and what the exhibitors were more focused on was. The platform of how all these products work together rather than their individual features so. LG and Samsung and I'll have Smart refrigerator smart washer smart kitchen is all these different tools and instead of showing you how much better the refrigerator is this year than last year there were more focused on how much better to the house works when all these, devices talk together so that. Scot: [12:21] That's a lot of mocked-up houses in this kind of thing. Jason: [12:24] Yeah I like vignettes and in these use cases like a you just bake lasagna in your Smart Oven your dishwasher knows you just. Bake the pan and so it's setting the dishwasher to the the pan scrubbing mode rather than the echo mode because it's got to get the the big done she's off the pan. Scot: [12:43] Does anyone have a nest camera for looking in my refrigerator so when I'm at work and I can't remember if I have milk or not. Jason: [12:48] Yeah it that's one of the most popular features in a smart refrigerators are these these webcam. Scot: [12:53] The ones on the outside where I can see inside isn't it I need like seeing. Jason: [12:56] Inside so that when you're at work you can at the store you can see if you need eggs or milk or those kinds of things. Scot: [13:02] The fair when I saw her was at sokoler came out with a pretty much any any kind of Plumbing fixture in your house can now be Alexa enabled so. They had the suitcase for the guys holding a baby with both hands. And he says Alexa turn on the sink and then he like takes a hand and he liked holds bottle and put it under and it's kind of like why can't you just take his hand in like turn on the sink and then they have a toilet did you did you get to check out the toy. Jason: [13:27] I did I did not actually test the toilet but I did observe the the Alexa enabled toilet and yeah that was in bed and everything it's not clear. That you want or would benefit from voice embedded in all these products and the what was interesting about the whole voice battle. This year was you know the Google had a much bigger presence than last year they both took a very big boost themselves which will come back to you in a second Amazon actually stepped out the size of their boots so they actually had. Immodest Alexa Echo System booth. Last year they had the treasure truck so they should have had the treasure truck and these examples of all the third-party products that work on the Alexa Echo System Google built this big Booth with they want some new hardware at the show so they have. Through Partners they're making what I would call Echo work type product to a Google home product with the screen. In a very familiar form factor that people that. I have that the echo look and today he wants to Booth to demonstrate all those things unfortunately that the booth is super extravagant and was designed for big parts of it to be outdoors. And for the first time in a hundred 15 days it rained in Las Vegas and so literally the the Google Booth was rained out on the first day which I imagine is a multimillion-dollar mistake. Scot: [14:48] I saw I had a slide did you get a chance to sit down the side. Jason: [14:51] It it did I did not get a chance to sit down inside their Booth was so crowded that they literally had like wait time management for all the various things so you are. It's 15 minutes to go to the roof and go down the slide and I just didn't have the time. Scot: [15:08] Yeah I did back on the color thing I heard that the deluxe integration with the toilet was kind of crappy. Jason: [15:15] I'll add the drum roll and post no no I won't listen. It's ok Google like did everything presents they were embedded in in more products but what they really did as they spent a fortune on Advertising so, so Google bought all the outdoor ads they had as on a ton of the taxis they wrap the Las Vegas Metro in in Google sign in. Scot: [15:38] Stairs I was under the stairs. Jason: [15:40] Yeah they I don't specifically remember some. Scot: [15:42] Escalators are like an escalator. Jason: [15:43] Yeah so they they spent a lot of money on outdoor advertising which is ironic I guess given that they're primarily an advertising platform. Scot: [15:50] Should ask him how they measured the ethics. Jason: [15:52] Yeah I don't think there is one. They definitely got more mindshare as a result of spending all that money and it certainly shows that there Devin Ernest interest in winning the space it feels like. They're still pretty far behind from an integration standpoint there certainly far behind from a skills perspective as well as we've talked about. But it's really emerging as a two-horse race and lots of retailers have a vested interest in Amazon not owning. The the home automation voice space and so you know there's a lot of people that that you know I'm rooting for Google because they're the. Potential foil to Amazon. Scot: [16:34] The Google Talk anything about the business model and how ads are in a work and they're just kind of like charging in and we'll figure it out later. Jason: [16:42] Yeah they really didn't like obviously wasn't they didn't talk a lot about it but there was a big announcement to me last quarter when both Target and Walmart and some other retailers started sharing first-party data with Google so that. If you if you're in the Google echo system in your shop at Walmart and you say order more peanut butter Google has access to your peanut butter purchase history from Walmart's to fulfill their. The the most likely peanut butter better you'd want right in that was historically abused competitive Advantage for Amazon is there artificial intelligence system had all this historical data on consumer purchases and since Google doesn't sell anything. They're pretty disadvantaged in. Scot: [17:21] Just Walmart and Target both share their data with Google and you say or did you just say order more peanut butter will Google know a Jason buys the most. Jeff from Walmart and allergic from Walmart like what use that to discern between retailers. Jason: [17:37] Yeah although it's it's the last that it's deciding like you opt-in so in the Google home Echo System you say I want my fulfillment partner to be Walmart and then that. That Ops you into Walmart sharing your data with Google. And then you're likely to get Jeff if you primarily order Jeff there that is an advertising opportunity so when you're a freaking purchaser of Jeff. They're likely going to sell you the Jeff you frequently purchased but if you say order peanut butter and your not a frequent purchaser of Jeff they need to. Suggest something to you and they typically pick one brand historically that's been this Amazon Choice program on the Amazon platform so they Amazon Choice products, usually ends up being the recommended product in in the Alexa Echo System but we're seeing some strong indications that Amazon is actually selling. The that. First recommended spot for new purchasers to a lot of Brands and so that it's sort of ironic like we've always talked about Google is primarily in a driven business, doesn't have a way to monetize voice Amazon obviously makes money selling stuff and so if voice makes you buy more stuff Amazon food, monetize much better than Google and then irony of ironies it appears that. Amazon is ahead of Google in terms of figuring out good advertising models for voice or at least acceptable ones. Scot: [19:03] Yeah okay a couple more serious than what was the worst or the wackiest thing you saw. Jason: [19:09] Yeah every year there's some goofy products there's that you know the. Bluetooth for car something like that something that jumped out of me is completely wacky there's a ton of new smart Health Tech and particularly a ton of sleep Tech in some of that seems. Somewhat silly right so, aromatherapy and video systems you know help you get 4 hours of sleep in a 20-minute power nap for example so there's a lot of that and then one product we thought there was kind of interesting I think you could both be the wackiest product or the biggest commercial hit. Is this the 3D printing for presumably young girls finger nails so you can. Scot: [19:50] Does chocolate last year too in my room. Jason: [19:52] There their they're definitely in some 3D chocolate printer. Scot: [19:55] I thought you're going to say chocolate. Jason: [19:56] For a while yeah but to me that would not be silly at all. Scot: [19:58] You need to light a printer. Jason: [20:05] Well it's. Scot: [20:07] Did you see that Samsung wall around what there's a lot of Buzz around the Samsung. Jason: [20:10] Yeah so every year there's a big competition around what's the newest most amazing television that could be invented and a lot of these two televisions are ones that never get commercial adoption there there. You know concept televisions that they they build very similar to a concept car. And so they keep getting bigger and bigger or thinner and thinner LG at a television that you would like an 88 inch 8K television that you would literally roll up. Scot: [20:38] I saw that it comes in like a little tube and it kind of rolls up so it could be a very small footprint. Jason: [20:42] Exactly and there is this actual practical problem that a lot of people struggle to self install TVs on the wall so there's a lot of TVs that are damaged shortly after their bought when they fall off the wall and these these you know. LG TVs that are now like 6mm thin like they're literally mounted to the wall with tape so that that is kind of cool and interesting the Samsung. Wall TV is just impressive for its high resolution and enormousness they didn't give us a spec for exactly how many inches it is but it's well over 200 in I'm so that was just a. A very cool piece of glass. There you know there are a couple of the new car manufacturers can't afford to go to Detroit Auto Show that they watched new cars from. Companies that don't have a history in the outer space tender launch at CES and so there's this new electric autonomous vehicle called the Bryant which is science. Which you know it may or may not ever see the light of day but the concept car looked very cool and it had a what they call a pillar to pillar. Digital screen so the the entire Dash it a 4-foot wide Ash is all one big big Monitor and if I own this vehicle I would spend most of my time just sitting in the garage gaming because it's so it would be the best green I own. Scot: [22:00] Okay let's what let's bring it back to retail what was the the most interesting Commerce stuff for our kind of give us a tour of who who was talking Commerce. Jason: [22:14] Yeah so it really isn't a retail show I'm a bunch of retail people go to the show because all the manufacturers are building displays to introduce their products to. Two people at the show very similar to have a retail would merchandise the products in the store so out of the merchandising team for retailers go to look and see how LG and Samsung and Sony are presenting their new products, addition of the show Ali Baba had a big boost that a booth last year, they went even bigger this year but what's interesting it really didn't focus on e-commerce or their Marketplace at all it really focused on. Actual Alibaba branded products that Ali Baba's inventing so they have a smart speaker for example and it was really promoting a lot of there. Services many of which will feel very Amazon alike. To westerners so they have a equivalent to AWS into a big part of the booth was committed to their services they have a meeting chat. Telepresence so I can go to meeting or Zoom or a blue jean depending on what region of the country you're in and those. You know they're there demonstrating those things in the booth they did have a baba has an interest that used to own ant Financial which is all the payment stuff. I'm so they had. Ali pay and pay with a smile so that this voice recognition that pay face recognition that pays when you smile that lockers Dropbox Whoppers that you unlock with your face and things like that. Scot: [23:47] I saw you were in a cabin you can actually pay with Ally pay in your. Jason: [23:49] Most of the Las Vegas cabs take Ali pay and you correctly guessed wise cuz there's a huge amount of Chinese tourism in Las Vegas. I lied to you and said I paid with all you pay like you have to have a Chinese bank account to get a wepay account so it turns out to be non-trivial to get one I tried. Scot: [24:05] I figured figured if you don't have Apple pay there's no you have. Jason: [24:08] I do have Apple pay and if anyone doesn't believe me you like send some cash to Jason Goldberg on Apple pay right now and see if it goes through. The battle is the Chinese search engine that's sort of the Chinese equivalent of Google and they had a big boost they had never been there before they also are getting in there. The Consumer Electronics space with some smart speakers and some some other products they have their own device operating system that they're pushing. I'm there was a retail Tech Pavilion at CES but it was. Yeah I think that retail Tech vendors were all getting ready for this weekend in a rest of the the vendors at CES were you know probably not the Marquee. Vendors there's a kind of typical digital signage vendors that we see everywhere like perched that was in the retail Tech Pavilion. And then in the emerging technology section there are a lot of vendors using computer vision for retail applications so a bunch of these Tech guys that don't know retail really well. Are envisioning that every retailer is going to want to face recognition to track every customer and recognize every customer when they go in so that's a super comment. Use case that these Israeli security companies set up set up boosted to pichai unless convinced that retailers want that. But then what what makes perfect sense that there's a lot of is. Companies with expertise in computer vision using that computer vision to create a Amazon go experience for self checkout or for inventory management so they were a bunch of. Companies talking about that one in particular that got some good Buzz is called a ipoly and they they were demonstrating some. [25:47] Some pretty sophisticated use cases of just using cameras of there being Shoppers to the kid very clearly differentiate which product of Chopper and picked up off a shelf. Scot: [25:56] So they were like sad mock-ups of stores with ever showing this technology. Jason: [26:01] Yeah they would claim that we have a complete amazongo equivalent solution and really like. They have sophisticated computer vision technology that identify what the Shoppers doing but you know there's a bunch of other pieces that are required for go I. [26:20] That I'm not sure of the startup companies have invested in solving for a retailer. Scot: [26:26] So while ago it may even last year there's that there's a really big company in China xiaomi that they were going to launch phones here and I think they've got a whole family of gadgets now that seems to disappear were they there. Jason: [26:39] I didn't see them now this CS is not a huge phone show because in February is a huge is the worldwide phone show in Barcelona the Mobile World Congress, you're right there are some Chinese manufacturers that tried to penetrate the US market and maybe the interesting one and I, I never know how to pronounce their name properly is a Chinese company so I'm not going to try on the podcast, is there a big Chinese consumer electronics manufacturer that makes a lot of Premium smartphones in China and they were making a big splash that they were going to, enter the US market and they actually cut a deal with AT&T to sell their phones, in all the AT&T stores until right before CES that was the big announcement and they had a huge booth at CES well. The US government claims that there you know owned by the Chinese government and that their technology isn't secure, and that apparently they the government rattle their saber enough to AT&T backed out on this. The steel in Ogden not to sell this Chinese Hardware. You know if you if you go super nefarious that the Chinese government could somehow have access to these these camera phones and speakers and all these. A consumer stands in the US. Scot: [27:59] Alright last CS topic anything exciting on the in the world of drones and then they are VR. Jason: [28:06] So there is a ton of drones I would say it was a slow year and evolution DJI really dominates the consumer drone space they wants one last year around Siesta became super popular the mavic pro, they've since launched a smaller one in so what you mostly sides he has his everyone else knocking off the. The mavic pro this year so there was a lot of that what was new at CES this year was it was definitely the first year when the robots were very ubiquitous there robots in. All the big boots and then he really range the Spectrum from some that are like practical and have achieved some consumer 6s like like tomorrow vacuum cleaner. Rumah type stuff to some very absurd robot so there are a lot of LG was showing shopping robots that. Drive to shopping cart to follow you around the store so you don't have to push the cart there a bunch of robots that drag your suitcase through the airport for you so you don't have to do that it was like a $35,000 robot that folds your clothes when they come out of the. Scot: [29:06] Oh I saw that was exciting. Jason: [29:08] So maybe that is an application in a retailer folding clothes at the Gap or something like that but I'm not sure a lot of consumers are just like folding up to. Scot: [29:17] To draw a crowd to come see the the folding robot I saw a CS but a Boeing a released a prototype type of a drone that can carry 500 lb. I'm it was interesting it's not a military application I think they've taken the military stuff in Skillet down but the article suitably talked about it being an interesting way you could like load balance between fulfillment centers with that kind of weight load that's kind of interesting you know. Here's a corner of stuff I don't need in Ohio have the Drone carry it to I don't know how far this thing can go but to to another fulfillment center. Jason: [29:49] They're definitely scaling up the Drone technology so they were at least two passenger drones are three passenger jet drones at the at the show so these are like autonomous vehicles that take, passengers in that notion is that that could be a sky taxi in some cases there's an all electric one that Intel is partnering in we were kind of joking about. Yeah probably not perfect timing to have. Autonomous drone with no pilot in it that carries passenger that's being powered by this Intel chip the now is vulnerable to the Meltdown, I'm back I'm not sure I'd want to be directly under that that that drone but they definitely had some big capacities I think even the Bell the big helicopter manufacturer was there with. With some ground so definitely possible and then a lot of the robots are good at moving that stuff around in the last mile to so Hyundai had a bunch of industrial robots obviously the Kiva is. A robot that than Amazon now owns and you joked about the military uses but I will say just superficially a bunch of these drones did look like they. We're just disarmed right before. Scot: [30:56] Yeah it kind of freaks me out the speaking of Black Mirror episode recommend for listeners. All the episodes are independent so you can just like skip around watch the one called heavy metal that when they gave me some good night nurses pretty, okay that's a cool thanks for that CS review that's awesome let's do it quick in RF preview so, I think the thing we're really excited about it is there's a Apple event that we got invited to and that's me tomorrow and. It's we don't know anything about it we just know your typical Apple format limitation has we have something that says we have something in store for you there's a picture of a bag, so seems like apple is doing something around retail technology what you have any speculation what's going on. Jason: [31:43] Yeah I don't have any real insight I am in the dark as much as you it it definitely seems like apple is poised to launch some retail product or service. They never have a booth at CES they want to see us this year but they have a big meeting space it's heavily apple-branded at interrupt this year which I found interesting and so you can buy in that with, ass getting invited to this secret event that they they wouldn't tell us the nature of. I might like the most likely thing is that they're watching some new thing in the payments ecosystem so maybe like the next version of Apple pay or a POS or a you know everything the Apple OS 4. You know commercial retail tack like you know tablet enable meant that kind of stuff. Scot: [32:31] A lot of retailers use the tablet as a retailing thing so maybe it's just more around that or maybe it's just a set of back that's practices doesn't feel like they would do an event and a meeting room for just like hey here's how people are using our technology seems like there must be more. Jason: [32:44] No eyes I think they're going to want something that's apple-branded that that is targeted at the retail industry so I could be super fun we don't don't that many surprises from Apple these days. Scot: [32:54] I know it's over here and if it's if it's Earth shattering we will put out a quick podcast just to kind of lay down our thoughts after we see whatever the amazing thing is I just hope Tim Cook there I've been dying for attempt. I need a good Tim Cook an emoji selfie and be good to do unicorn or I don't know. Jason: [33:15] You said one of the products I bought at CES this year is a 360 camera and so I feel like. Scot: [33:22] 360 song. Jason: [33:23] 360 selfie. Scot: [33:24] Nice. Nothing that we're excited about is we have Casey from Deloitte on the show so we will be putting out. I left some new research that we're going to be talking to Casey for the first time here on the show we have our digital council meeting so that's good. I saw they have a speaker I did not read the details did you. Jason: [33:47] Yeah I think it is a friend of yours we from Alibaba. Scot: [33:51] Oh yeah I do remember now awesome so we'll get to hear all about singles day so that'll be good and how much better it is then Cyber Monday let's see anything else around interested we want to talk about. Jason: [34:04] So there are a number of, interesting private events that are great networking opportunities and you know hopefully we'll we'll get some people inebriated and get them to inappropriately share with us on the podcast for those of you that don't know Scott and I super well, we are not the guys that get invited to all the private, parties in our in our youth so this is this this weird once-in-a-lifetime opportunity where we get the invites to the the cool parties. Scot: [34:33] Yeah yeah the Geeks shall inherit the earth. Well we have so that's it on shows let's bang out a little bit of Commerce retail news from this last week so it wouldn't be a Jason Scott showed without. [34:58] Not a ton of Amazon news this week despite the lightest Amazon news for a while. And I'm ending this cuz the company is in a quiet. So I will your public company there's this kind of. Of time where you know how your results were and you can't really say much about them and, I'm excited cuz they did announce when they are going to release. The fourth quarter earnings and that will be on February 1st so we will do a special version of the show where we will cover those will cover will put it down the night of the first and then we'll hopefully get it out on the 2nd if her audio team can, jump on that we've been talking a while about all the rumors around Amazon going into the drug business drug stores, I am now there's a loud drum beat about beauty so I don't know exactly what is King it run off of that but, you know it's pretty clear in the retail World Alton's for doing really well so I think Amazon is kind of turning their guns that way so it'll be interesting to see how that's going. And when I've been dying to ask you about Jason is Kohl's there is this kind of news item that Kohl's is really wanting to work closely with grocers that didn't make a lot of sense to me cuz I'm thinking all right, blue jeans and broccoli what's what's the connection film. Jason: [36:15] That one of you eat a lot of broccoli you can buy small are better-looking bridging. Scot: [36:19] Duncan's are in celery when you tell her you you actually. Jason: [36:22] Net positive or negative calorie intake I guess I think that's not true and. Scot: [36:29] Dang it. Jason: [36:31] Yeah sorry to be the one to. Scot: [36:32] All that celery. Jason: [36:33] Exactly so I think what's Happening Here. Is no retailers have a particular footprint and they buy all the real estate around that footprint so you know what Kohl's store I don't know the exact size but I think they're probably like 60 or 70 thousand square foot store. The something in that range and you don't that's based on a certain merchandising assortment in that's in that store, so overtime categories that you were storkland carry become less successful and you move out of categories or you add new categories and there are times when retailers find that they have more square footage than they can. Profitably manage and so a common play particularly when you're not performing as well as you'd like is how can I downsize by handing some of the the rent responsibility to us too. Subway Surf right so, that the example as you like uses Best Buy like you know they used to sell CDs and video games and music and then of the store that's that's all digital delivered but they can't just shrink their leases in their store, I'm so that they rent space to a lot of their manufacturers Samsung Microsoft. I'm we'll all have shopping shops and so I think Kohl's is in a situation where they had excess base for what they think is their Optimum inventory and so you go looking and say. Who can I profitably Reese this pace to and ideally it should be someone that's going to bring extra traffic to my store that might buy stuff. So in the old days that was always the coffee shop you went looking into to add a Starbucks. [38:09] Because of Cole's real estate proximity there in strip malls that could be convenient places to grocery shop and so it sounds like they've just come up with this notion that. Man is if there is someone only wants to expand in our footprint Subway some of our space people shopping grocery much more frequent so it could be a great traffic driver to the stores and they could benefit from that so well. To see if that idea plays out and if they're able to get some some folks to take them up on that but I think that's what's going on. Scot: [38:40] Yeah and that was Ron Johnson's vision of retail right it would be this kind of we had Omar Asad the analyst on and I forget what he called it but it's kind of like you know a bizarre. Jason: [38:51] Yeah we often called a retail bizarre and it's actually the common, merchandising way in a lot of places in the world sew-in in the USA department store owns all the space and they decide what brands are in it and they they merchandise the brands in Europe most of the department stores are. Simply landlords that rent individual shelves in the store to individual brands. Scot: [39:13] Boots. Jason: [39:16] Just another other news that there's a e-commerce your player that focuses on the club. Experiences in those large format box that we've had on the show. The there are rumors that they are a potential acquisition Target and I think a Consortium of grocery stores was mentioned as a potential buyer like Kroger. Scot: [39:39] Yeah the number that stuck out to me was 500 million so fingers crossed for a friend's at box on that one. Jason: [39:44] And that is that that's close to their last round right so that would mean the the early folks will do really well and the the last investors probably won't do so well that if that ends up being the number and it happens. Scot: [39:57] Sometimes it works tops for that cuz the last investors get these really nice preference tax. Jason: [40:03] Gotcha cool see you that's why I have you here to make sure that my. My Angel Investing is fruitful one near and dear to my heart Circuit City is relaunching. So folks some of you young ones on the shelf that is that was a specialty retailer that that kind of grew up and competed with Best Buy they went bankrupt, a number of years ago I want to say formally like 2008, the the brand changed hands in bankruptcy court a few times so they're actually was this company in Florida TigerDirect that bought the the brand and they launched relaunch the Circuit City website for a few years. Scot: [40:49] And at CompUSA. Jason: [40:50] Yeah they wait about CompUSA they. If I'm remembering there's some drama there too I think they're there was some like weird finances and the owner and some. There could be some some interesting backstory their bets of the brand changed hands again and you know frankly when I heard that someone bought the the brand out of bankruptcy unlike someone else's like. Trying to Leverage The Nostalgia and they're going to watch another. Another you know reskinned website and it's actually more than that like that they have a new ownership that there intending to open retail stores. And so this would both be a website and some number of new stores it's it's interesting cuz I'm not sure you would look at the Consumer Electronics base and say what we really need in consumer electronics is. Is more stores and another brand to buy that place but you know we'll have to see what their unique value proposition is they bring to the table. Scot: [41:47] That one you talked about called. Yeah yeah, some Vision like a cool like a smaller footprint showroom thing cuz I use gadgets you want to touch him and feel him and you know her shoes for four people to care about shoes. Best Buy refills at 4 meal at times I'll go look at stuff and then order it on to another retailer. Jason: [42:14] And I I would say you like one of the weather problems with all the trees retail consolidation there used to be this phone to see you could be a geek, and walk into the store and you discover something new every single time you walked in that store that you didn't know exist that you wanted and one of the things that all the digital transparency is created and like all the consolidation of the stores is created you know really, you working on Apple Store and you never see something. You didn't know was available before you walked in the store and you know how I feel like that's going to happen to be the case it at even Best Buy now is well and so it would be interesting to see if there. You know that they're going to provide that sort of fun jolt of discovery. Scot: [42:53] Yeah kind of on the opposite side of the spectrum my wife was shocked she showed me this the other day, she likes this designer named Ella moss and they have some kind of annual sale and she went to the website to check out the annual sale, and announced they're closing their website and it said say goodbye to lmr.com but say hello to us in our stores and they just pointing people to Nordstrom in a variety of other stores where their items are found so I thought that was. Certainly opposite trend of what we've seen out there but they must have. Musta Had A Good Reason baby was too expensive to run the website maybe maybe they get pressure from their Channel partners that kind of said we don't like you offering this track. I don't know what it is just have a really interesting use kids haven't seen. Happen. Jason: [43:38] It's bugging the trend I suspect there is some serious distressed underlines for that but I applaud them putting Silver Lining trying to put it out there favorably. Scot: [43:51] Last topic one hit on we're about 14 days into January so we have about half of the Retailer's the brick and mortar guys, I report monthly same for sale so we're getting up kind of a, early read on holiday and then once we have that Amazon report in early February and then kind of by mid February we should have a pretty good read on how how they came in but did you notice any of the or some interesting holiday things you saw that have come out so far. Jason: [44:18] That's what's interesting like obviously overall it was a very good holiday like probably the best one since, 2010 2011 the most most, retailers like you know either announced that they performed at that sort of average growth or even outperform the industry and there are a few outliers that we saw. Be significantly down and so you know it's about a rising tide raises all boats when you're the boat that sinking in that Rising tide, that's a particularly you know owner assign so we seventies Sears did not benefit from the, renewed spending they were down significantly I think like 16% and I think it announced another round of store closures I mentioned on the I did mention but in the store predictions bet, certainly feels like a year of major retailer. Go away and I think Sears would be unfortunately a good candidate for that. Scot: [45:15] Yeah when it's surprise out of folks this is kind of one of those bury the lede so Walmart had a positive news that they are, because of the the tax act that was passed the raising the minimum wage for employees to $11 an hour I think it was and several other people did this there was only one that's on retail the same time that kind of tucked in they are the closing $0.60 stores, I'm really bummed because the Sam's near my office where we actually got our office enough snacks and stuff is going to close so that's going to be inconvenient and then. I saw a Wall Street analyst kind of did this analysis and the 60 Sam's stores that are closing they are some number of miles from a Costco store so ones are keeping open don't seem to have much competition but the ones, they're closing you know the list the target clickbait title of this was like Costco's crushing Sam's so they went to an analysis so I thought that was. Pretty interesting that you know Walmart's not used to losing so if they are losing to Costco that that's pretty fascinating. Jason: [46:21] Yeah for sure and it I mean. I think Sam's Club stores can do very well but but Costco is almost a unicorn in their retail performance I mean Walmart the largest retailer in the US they have like over 4,000 stores in the US, Costco to the second largest retailer in the US they have like 200 stores. Did that yesterday they really have that model down like and I'm not sure that the average Costco I mean it has ever underperform the average Sam's Club store which doesn't mean Sam's doesn't do well but. But your point like they're probably not doing well in the the head-to-head battles. Scot: [46:59] I don't know enough about the cause for maybe we can have a an analyst on. Kind of Enlighten us on that cuz I wonder how cuz there's BJ's as well right. I think I've seen the same for sales for BJ's are doing pretty well so. I believe in this report said Sam's same-store sales are doing well but it must be kind of A Tale of Two Cities the ones that could be with Costco or doing poorly in the ones that aren't are doing well for them to close these it would close them if they're doing awesome. Jason: [47:23] Yeah but I do think it's part of this way speaker thing we're over stored in the u.s. populations are moving so you open the store. And you know it to cater to a Suburban population and then those folks move in the suburbs back to the city centers and where your store should be should be different so it's it, clothing stores is not on is often a sign of a healthy retailer and I think Walmart's the perfect example like, diprimas clicking on all cylinders checking all the boxes and so it's you know it's it's unpleasant for those employees but it's probably a good time for investors to see someone having a good financial performance and still. Being willing Nicole that hurt and kind of move away from some of the most profitable pieces of the Enterprise, I think another one that. We it was interesting that she was Target in one of the stats we saw their this is been progressively bigger stat. We seen every year but Target is not saying it's 70% of all their online orders are being the film in some way from the store so we talked about this for a long time it's when the best ways are brick-and-mortar retailers can compete with Amazon is, you should from that store you get to ship USPS and get it there in one day for much cheaper rate than you pay UPS or FedEx from. Scot: [48:39] Yeah I think target actually exceeded expectations and raised so that's good at the stocks been doing well. I'm in that same vein we mentioned earlier around that grocery store topic but Kohl's they came out with 7% same-store sales for holiday and is reminder to listeners we had Kevin Manziel on the show year ago now is it wasn't so it must be. Jason: [48:59] What was the shop talk. Scot: [49:00] Shop talk so about 8 months ago and he was talking about their strategy and it looks like it played out pretty well and he's announced his resigning and handing over the reins to a new CEO and. She will start I think in July August time frame so always good to have a really nice hand over there when things are going well. Jason: [49:19] Absolutely I think another one that sort of was not rising in a, in a rising tide is unfortunately Macy so I think they were down in the like two and a half percent and they've announced another big round of store closures so I think they're closing like another hundred stores. Scot: [49:38] In the last one I saw it is Lululemon they were up 13% this interesting cuz everyone is is gunning for these guys to everyone has come out with their own athleisure line, babe copied everything Lululemon's doing and they cannot seem to slow these guys down there they're so. The brand has an affinity with folks especially Millennial females they have that experience with yoga classes in the store and none of the other athletes are guys are really able to keep up with them, and I think this is I'm not an expert on Nike and Under Armour but they're both under pressure, things that Turtle Dave Dave kind of gone all in on some of this athleisure stuff specifically around yoga thinking they could take okasa market share from Lululemon but Lululemon's hanging in there. Interesting example of a david-and-goliath where where David is winning. Jason: [50:30] Exactly and in some ways maybe starting to look more like glass. Yeah so it's going to be an interesting one to watch people have been kind of predicting the end of this athleisure trend for a long time. Never seems to come so it'll be interesting to see whether. Whether you know it is a cycle that gets broken and and is athleisure Trend ever doesn't it'll be super interesting and see if Lululemon can leverage all that. Great customer intimacy they have to pick up on the next train or whether they're there at least you're only, it's got one of my New Year's resolution was to do a little shorter shows and so it is happen again we've used up all our a lot of time we certainly are grateful for her listeners taking the time to listen to the show, if you enjoyed it we really appreciate a 5-star review on iTunes I mention that we're going to be visiting Apple this weekend they could they could be very angry with us so we need to get lots of review so they, saying they're good racist and if you want to have any conversation about any of the topics on today shows we'd love to hear from you on Facebook. Scot: [51:35] Yep thanks I wanted to join us. Jason: [51:37] Until next time happy commercing.

This week on BSDNow, we've got all sorts of post-holiday goodies to share. New OpenSSL APIs, Dtrace, OpenBSD This episode was brought to you by Headlines OpenSSL 1.1 API migration path, or the lack thereof (https://www.mail-archive.com/tech@openbsd.org/msg36437.html) As many of you will already be aware, the OpenSSL 1.1.0 release intentionally introduced significant API changes from the previous release. In summary, a large number of data structures that were previously publically visible have been made opaque, with accessor functions being added in order to get and set some of the fields within these now opaque structs. It is worth noting that the use of opaque data structures is generally beneficial for libraries, since changes can be made to these data structures without breaking the ABI. As such, the overall direction of these changes is largely reasonable. However, while API change is generally necessary for progression, in this case it would appear that there is NO transition plan and a complete disregard for the impact that these changes would have on the overall open source ecosystem. So far it seems that the only approach is to place the migration burden onto each and every software project that uses OpenSSL, pushing significant code changes to each project that migrates to OpenSSL 1.1, while maintaining compatibility with the previous API. This is forcing each project to provide their own backwards compatibility shims, which is practically guaranteeing that there will be a proliferation of variable quality implementations; it is almost a certainty that some of these will contain bugs, potentially introducing security issues or memory leaks. I think this will be a bigger issue for other operating systems that do not have the flexibility of the ports tree to deliver a newer version of OpenSSL. If a project switches from the old API to the new API, and the OS only provides the older branch of OpenSSL, how can the application work? Of course, this leaves the issue, if application A wants OpenSSL 1.0, and application B only works with OpenSSL 1.1, how does that work? Due to a number of factors, software projects that make use of OpenSSL cannot simply migrate to the 1.1 API and drop support for the 1.0 API - in most cases they will need to continue to support both. Firstly, I am not aware of any platform that has shipped a production release with OpenSSL 1.1 - any software that supported OpenSSL 1.1 only, would effectively be unusable on every platform for the time being. Secondly, the OpenSSL 1.0.2 release is supported until the 31st of December 2019, while OpenSSL 1.1.0 is only supported until the 31st of August 2018 - any LTS style release is clearly going to consider shipping with 1.0.2 as a result. Platforms that are attempting to ship with OpenSSL 1.1 are already encountering significant challenges - for example, Debian currently has 257 packages (out of 518) that do not build against OpenSSL 1.1. There are also hidden gotchas for situations where different libraries are linked against different OpenSSL versions and then share OpenSSL data structures between them - many of these problems will be difficult to detect since they only fail at runtime. It will be interesting to see what happens with OpenSSL, and LibreSSL Hopefully, most projects will decide to switch to the cleaner APIs provided by s2n or libtls, although they do not provide the entire functionality of the OpenSSL API. Hacker News comments (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13284648) *** exfiltration via receive timing (http://www.tedunangst.com/flak/post/exfiltration-via-receive-timing) Another similar way to create a backchannel but without transmitting anything is to introduce delays in the receiver and measure throughput as observed by the sender. All we need is a protocol with transmission control. Hmmm. Actually, it's easier (and more reliable) to code this up using a plain pipe, but the same principle applies to networked transmissions. For every digit we want to “send” back, we sleep a few seconds, then drain the pipe. We don't care about the data, although if this were a video file or an OS update, we could probably do something useful with it. Continuously fill the pipe with junk data. If (when) we block, calculate the difference between before and after. This is a our secret backchannel data. (The reader and writer use different buffer sizes because on OpenBSD at least, a writer will stay blocked even after a read depending on the space that opens up. Even simple demos have real world considerations.) In this simple example, the secret data (argv) is shared by the processes, but we can see that the writer isn't printing them from its own address space. Nevertheless, it works. Time to add random delays and buffering to firewalls? Probably not. An interesting thought experiment that shows just how many ways there are to covertly convey a message *** OpenBSD Desktop in about 30 Minutes (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13223351) Over at hackernews we have a very non-verbose, but handy guide to getting to a OpenBSD desktop in about 30 minutes! First, the guide will assume you've already installed OpenBSD 6.0, so you'll need to at least be at the shell prompt of your freshly installed system to begin. With that, now its time to do some tuning. Editing some resource limits in login.conf will be our initial task, upping some datasize tunables to 2GB Next up, we will edit some of the default “doas” settings to something a bit more workable for desktop computing Another handy trick, editing your .profile to have your PKG_PATH variables set automatically will make One thing some folks may overlook, but disabling atime can speed disk performance (which you probably don't care about atime on your desktop anyway), so this guide will show you what knobs to tweak in /etc/fstab to do so After some final WPA / Wifi configuration, we then drop to “mere mortal” mode and begin our package installations. In this particular guide, he will be setting up Lumina Desktop (Which yes, it is on OpenBSD) A few small tweaks later for xscreensaver and your xinitrc file, then you are ready to run “startx” and begin your desktop session! All in all, great guide which if you are fast can probably be done in even less than 30 minutes and will result in a rock-solid OpenBSD desktop rocking Lumina none-the-less. *** How DTrace saved Christmas (https://hackernoon.com/dtrace-at-home-145ba773371e) Adam Leventhal, one of the co-creators of DTrace, wrote up this post about how he uses DTrace at home, to save Christmas I had been procrastinating making the family holiday card. It was a combination of having a lot on my plate and dreading the formulation of our annual note recapping the year; there were some great moments, but I'm glad I don't have to do 2016 again. It was just before midnight and either I'd make the card that night or leave an empty space on our friends' refrigerators. Adobe Illustrator had other ideas: “Unable to set maximum number of files to be opened” I'm not the first person to hit this. The problem seems to have existed since CS6 was released in 2016. None of the solutions were working for me, and — inspired by Sara Mauskopf's excellent post (https://medium.com/startup-grind/how-to-start-a-company-with-no-free-time-b70fbe7b918a#.uujdblxc6) — I was rapidly running out of the time bounds for the project. Enough; I'd just DTrace it. A colleague scoffed the other day, “I mean, how often do you actually use DTrace?” In his mind DTrace was for big systems, critical system, when dollars and lives were at stake. My reply: I use DTrace every day. I can't imagine developing software without DTrace, and I use it when my laptop (not infrequently) does something inexplicable (I'm forever grateful to the Apple team that ported it to Mac OS X) Illustrator is failing on setrlimit(2) and blowing up as result. Let's confirm that it is in fact returning -1:$ sudo dtrace -n 'syscall::setrlimit:return/execname == "Adobe Illustrato"/{ printf("%d %d", arg1, errno); }' dtrace: description 'syscall::setrlimit:return' matched 1 probe CPU ID FUNCTION:NAME 0 532 setrlimit:return -1 1 There it is. And setrlimit(2) is failing with errno 1 which is EPERM (value too high for non-root user). I already tuned up the files limit pretty high. Let's confirm that it is in fact setting the files limit and check the value to which it's being set. To write this script I looked at the documentation for setrlimit(2) (hooray for man pages!) to determine that the position of the resource parameter (arg0) and the type of the value parameter (struct rlimit). I needed the DTrace copyin() subroutine to grab the structure from the process's address space: $ sudo dtrace -n 'syscall::setrlimit:entry/execname == "Adobe Illustrato"/{ this->r = *(struct rlimit *)copyin(arg1, sizeof (struct rlimit)); printf("%x %x %x", arg0, this->r.rlimcur, this->r.rlimmax); }' dtrace: description 'syscall::setrlimit:entry' matched 1 probe CPU ID FUNCTION:NAME 0 531 setrlimit:entry 1008 2800 7fffffffffffffff Looking through /usr/include/sys/resource.h we can see that 1008 corresponds to the number of files (RLIMITNOFILE | _RLIMITPOSIX_FLAG) The quickest solution was to use DTrace again to whack a smaller number into that struct rlimit. Easy: $ sudo dtrace -w -n 'syscall::setrlimit:entry/execname == "Adobe Illustrato"/{ this->i = (rlimt *)alloca(sizeof (rlimt)); *this->i = 10000; copyout(this->i, arg1 + sizeof (rlimt), sizeof (rlimt)); }' dtrace: description 'syscall::setrlimit:entry' matched 1 probe dtrace: could not enable tracing: Permission denied Oh right. Thank you SIP (System Integrity Protection). This is a new laptop (at least a new motherboard due to some bizarre issue) which probably contributed to Illustrator not working when once it did. Because it's new I haven't yet disabled the part of SIP that prevents you from using DTrace on the kernel or in destructive mode (e.g. copyout()). It's easy enough to disable, but I'm reboot-phobic — I hate having to restart my terminals — so I went to plan B: lldb + After using DTrace to get the address of the setrlimit function, Adam used lldb to change the result before it got back to the application: (lldb) break set -n _init Breakpoint 1: 47 locations.

Just because you didn't write a program doesn't mean you can't fix it. News Roundup Say my Blog's name! (https://functionallyparanoid.com/2016/12/22/say-my-blogs-name/) Brian Everly over at functionally paranoid has a treat for us today. Let us give you a moment to get the tin-foil hats on… Ok, done? Let's begin! He starts off with a look at physical security. He begins by listing your options: BIOS passwords – Not something I'm typically impressed with. Most can be avoided by opening up the machine, closing a jumper and powering it up to reset the NVRAM to factory defaults. I don't even bother with them. Full disk encryption – This one really rings my bell in a positive way. If you can kill power to the box (either because the bad actor has to physically steal it and they aren't carrying around a pile of car batteries and an inverter or because you can interrupt power to it some other way), then the disk will be encrypted. The other beauty of this is that if a drive fails (and they all do eventually) you don't have to have any privacy concerns about chucking it into an electronics recycler (or if you are a bad, bad person, into a landfill) because that data is effectively gibberish without the key (or without a long time to brute force it). Two factor auth for logins – I like this one as well. I'm not a fan of biometrics because if your fingerprint is compromised (yes, it can happen – read (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/federal-eye/wp/2015/07/09/hack-of-security-clearance-system-affected-21-5-million-people-federal-authorities-say/) about the department of defense background checks that were extracted by a bad agent – they included fingerprint images) you can't exactly send off for a new finger. Things like the YubiKey (https://www.yubico.com/) are pretty slick. They require that you have the physical hardware key as well as the password so unless the bad actor lifted your physical key, they would have a much harder time with physical access to your hardware. Out of those options, Brian mentions that he uses disk encryption and yubi-key for all his secure network systems. Next up is network segmentation, in this case the first thing to do is change your admin password for any ISP supplied modem / router. He goes on to scare us of javascript attacks being used not against your local machine, but instead non WAN exposed router admin interface. Scary Stuff! For added security, naturally he firewalls the router by plugging in the LAN port to a OpenBSD box which does the 2nd layer of firewall / router protection. What about privacy and browsing? Here's some more of his tips: I use Unbound as my DNS resolver on my local network (with all UDP port 53 traffic redirected to it by pf so I don't have to configure anything on the clients) and then forward the traffic to DNSCrypt Proxy, caching the results in Unbound. I notice ZERO performance penalty for this and it greatly enhances privacy. This combination of Unbound and DNSCrypt Proxy works very well together. You can even have redundancy by having multiple upstream resolvers running on different ports (basically run the DNSCrypt Proxy daemon multiple times pointing to different public resolvers). I also use Firefox exclusively for my web browsing. By leveraging the tips on this page (https://www.privacytools.io/), you can lock it down to do a great job of privacy protection. The fact that your laptop's battery drain rate can be used to fingerprint your browser completely trips me out but hey – that's the world we live in.' What about the cloud you may ask? Well Brian has a nice solution for that as well: I recently decided I would try to live a cloud-free life and I'll give you a bit of a synopsis on it. I discovered a wonderful Open Source project called FreeNAS (http://www.freenas.org/). What this little gem does is allow you to install a FreeBSD/zfs file server appliance on amd64 hardware and have a slick administrative web interface for managing it. I picked up a nice SuperMicro motherboard and chassis that has 4 hot swap drive bays (and two internal bays that I used to mirror the boot volume on) and am rocking the zfs lifestyle! (Thanks Alan Jude!) One of the nicest features of the FreeNAS is that it provides the ability to leverage the FreeBSD jail functionality in an easy to use way. It also has plugins but the security on those is a bit sketchy (old versions of libraries, etc.) so I decided to roll my own. I created two jails – one to run OwnCloud (yeah, I know about NextCloud and might switch at some point) and the other to run a full SMTP/IMAP email server stack. I used Lets Encrypt (https://letsencrypt.org/) to generate the SSL certificates and made sure I hit an A on SSLLabs (https://www.ssllabs.com/) before I did anything else. His post then goes in to talk about Backups and IoT devices, something else you need to consider in this truely paranoid world we are forced to live in. We even get a nice shout-out near the end! Enter TarSnap (http://www.tarsnap.com/) – a company that advertises itself as “Online Backups for the Truly Paranoid”. It brings a tear to my eye – a kindred spirit! :-) Thanks again to Alan Jude and Kris Moore from the BSD Now podcast (http://www.bsdnow.tv/) for turning me onto this company. It has a very easy command syntax (yes, it isn't a GUI tool – suck it up buttercup, you wanted to learn the shell didn't you?) and even allows you to compile the thing from source if you want to.” We've only covered some of the highlights here, but you really should take a few moments of your time today and read this top to bottom. Lots of good tips here, already thinking how I can secure my home network better. The open source book: “Producing Open Source Software” (http://producingoss.com/en/producingoss.pdf) “How to Run a Successful Free Software Project” by Karl Fogel 9 chapters and over 200 pages of content, plus many appendices Some interesting topics include: Choosing a good name version control bug tracking creating developer guidelines setting up communications channels choosing a license (although this guide leans heavily towards the GPL) setting the tone of the project joining or creating a Non-Profit Organization the economics of open source release engineering, packaging, nightly builds, etc how to deal with forks A lot of good information packaged into this ebook This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License *** DTrace Flamegraphs for node.js on FreeBSD (http://www.venshare.com/dtrace-flamegraphs-for-freebsd-and-node-js-2/) One of the coolest tools built on top of DTrace is flamegraphs They are a very accurate, and visual way to see where a program is spending its time, which can tell you why it is slow, or where it could be improved. Further enhancements include off-cpu flame graphs, which tell you when the program is doing nothing, which can also be very useful > Recently BSD UNIXes are being acknowledged by the application development community as an interesting operating system to deploy to. This is not surprising given that FreeBSD had jails, the original container system, about 17 years ago and a lot of network focused businesses such as netflix see it as the best way to deliver content. This developer interest has led to hosting providers supporting FreeBSD. e.g. Amazon, Azure, Joyent and you can get a 2 months free instance at Digital Ocean. DTrace is another vital feature for anyone who has had to deal with production issues and has been in FreeBSD since version 9. As of FreeBSD 11 the operating system now contains some great work by Fedor Indutny so you can profile node applications and create flamegraphs of node.js processes without any additional runtime flags or restarting of processes. This is one of the most important things about DTrace. Many applications include some debugging functionality, but they require that you stop the application, and start it again in debugging mode. Some even require that you recompile the application in debugging mode. Being able to attach DTrace to an application, while it is under load, while the problem is actively happening, can be critical to figuring out what is going on. In order to configure your FreeBSD instance to utilize this feature make the following changes to the configuration of the server. Load the DTrace module at boot Increase some DTrace limits Install node with the optional DTrace feature compiled in Follow the generic node.js flamegraph tutorial (https://nodejs.org/en/blog/uncategorized/profiling-node-js/) > I hope you find this article useful. The ability to look at a runtime in this manor has saved me twice this year and I hope it will save you in the future too. My next post on freeBSD and node.js will be looking at some scenarios on utilising the ZFS features. Also check out Brendan Gregg's ACM Queue Article (http://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=2927301) “The Flame Graph: This visualization of software execution is a new necessity for performance profiling and debugging” SSHGuard 2.0 Call for Testing (https://sourceforge.net/p/sshguard/mailman/message/35580961/) SSHGuard is a tool for monitoring brute force attempts and blocking them It has been a favourite of mine for a while because it runs as a pipe from syslogd, rather than reading the log files from the disk A lot of work to get SSHGuard working with new log sources (journalctl, macOS log) and backends (firewalld, ipset) has happened in 2.0. The new version also uses a configuration file. Most importantly, SSHGuard has been split into several processes piped into one another (sshg-logmon | sshg-parser | sshg-blocker | sshg-fw). sshg-parser can run with capsicum(4) and pledge(2). sshg-blocker can be sandboxed in its default configuration (without pid file, whitelist, blacklisting) and has not been tested sandboxed in other configurations. Breaking the processes up so that the sensitive bits can be sandboxes is very nice to see *** Beastie Bits pjd's 2007 paper from AsiaBSDCon: “Porting the ZFS file system to the FreeBSD operating system” (https://2007.asiabsdcon.org/papers/P16-paper.pdf) A Message From the FreeBSD Foundation (https://vimeo.com/user60888329) Remembering Roger Faulkner, Unix Champion (http://thenewstack.io/remembering-roger-faulkner/) and A few HN comments (including Bryan Cantrill) (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13293596) Feedback/Questions Peter - TrueOS Network (http://pastebin.com/QtyJeHMk) Chris - Remote Desktop (http://pastebin.com/ru726VTV) Goetz - Geli on Serial (http://pastebin.com/LQZPgF5g) Joe - BGP (http://pastebin.com/jFeL8zKX) Alejandro - BSD Router (http://pastebin.com/Xq9cbmfn) ***

For Advanced Photoshop Magazine #130, I was asked to show how I create my selections. In this extended video, I'm going to show you the ins and outs of Professional Masking. Properly masking an image with Adobe Photoshop is often done using one of the simple selection tools like Magic Wand or Lasso. This is simply the wrong approach. You should actually be using Color Range and QuickMask. If you're itching to know how I work around these tools, you've come to the right place. I'm going to let you in on the tips and tricks that I use behind the scenes in order to come up with a clean and accurate final image. Lets get started.

Whether you are retouching portraits or composites, the Smart Object is, and always will be, the right way to go. In this short session, I will tell you all about the magic of Smart Objects and Smart Filters. For any retoucher, it is important to develop a non-destructive workflow. Smart Objects and Smart Filters will give you the ability to go back and forth between your actions without permanently damaging your photo.

Adobe has released another update to Photoshop CC. They even released a pretty interesting video showing the future of the entire suite of products. While this was a video to showcase their new partnership with Microsoft, there is plenty to look forward to. Unfortunately, I am not a graphic designer, illustrator, or video editor. I have only seen one thing out of Adobe since the initial release of CC over a year ago that I even cared about, much less used (Linked Smart Objects). Sadly, I even needed to be an advanced composite user to even care about that. My Previous Top 10 List was passed along to Adobe's Engineers by Julieanne Kost (thanks). While I don't know if anything I wrote about the first time will ever make it into Photoshop for Photographers and Retouchers, I feel it's important to keep them on their toes. Therefore, I bring to your attention 10 more things still missing in Photoshop for retouchers. No related posts.

When working in Photoshop, while most of it is creative, sometimes you will want to be as accurate as you possibly can. Rulers and guides come in handy because they help you create specific points in your image that you may want to refer to at a later point in time.

Aside from the Lasso-based tools, we can also use the Magic Wand when it comes to making selections in Photoshop. You can press and hold the Quick Selection Tool to choose the Magic Wand Tool. When you click on a section in your image, it selects an area based on the range of colors that your provide, limited by the value of your Tolerance in the Options bar. Photoshop’s default Tolerance is 32, but you can increase or decrease that value to grab more areas at once or less areas at once respectively.

The purpose of making a selection, is so that you can make changes within a limited, and controlled area.There are a variety of tools you should consider when making selections in your image. There are several that will allow you make direct selections by drawing them, and a few that let you make your selections based on color. I will preface this by saying that make generic selections like this might create what is called a Layer Mask, none of the techniques I am going to talk about are ones that I would teach to my students. they are simplistic, and will not yield optimal results. The reason I am talking about them with you now, is because they are an easy way to get you to your end goals. While they are not the best, they are simply the easiest for you to get started with.

Selective Color is the go-to tool for simple color correction. Little need for masking, and no confusing RGB sliders. You just need someone to give you a little direction, and you will find how easy this tool can be. As with the other Adjustment Tools, you can find it with the Adjustments Palettee, which is found within Window – Adjustments. The second way is at the bottom of the Layers Palette, with the Black and White Circle icon for New Adjustment Layers. Lastly, it’s also in Layer – New Adjustment Layer – Selective Color. Related posts: Selective Color | Photoshop Basic Tutorial Levels | Photoshop Basic Tutorial Camera Raw Local Adjustments Tutorial

Let’s say you have an image that’s looking pretty pale. When you want to adjust the saturation of an image, I normally don’t recommend using the Saturation Adjustment. Instead, what we’ll be using is the Vibrance Adjustment, because it has Saturation included, and gives you more control over your adjustments. Over at the Adjustments Palette, you can select the Vibrance icon. You can also find it at the bottom of your Layers Palette, as well as in Layer – New Adjustment Layer – Vibrance. Related posts: Selective Color | Photoshop Basic Tutorial Levels | Photoshop Basic Tutorial Camera Raw Local Adjustments Tutorial

When you want to create tonal changes the easiest and simplest way possible, your best bet is to use Levels. Simply go over to the Adjustments palette (or if it isn’t open yet, go to Window – Adjustments). There, click on the icon that says “Levels”. Another way would be to go to the Layers palette and click on the Black/White Circle icon that says “Create new fill or adjustment layer”. Finally, a third way of doing it is to go over to Layer – New Adjustment Layer – Levels. Related posts: Selective Color | Photoshop Basic Tutorial Levels | Photoshop Basic Tutorial Camera Raw Local Adjustments Tutorial

Adjustment Layers work like tinted sheets of glass that you overlay on top of your image one at a time. It’s kind of like a tinted or colored light bulb. You can turn on/off the effect, or adjust the values as a separate layer on top of your original image background layer. For instance, on top of your base layer (original image), we can make tone adjustments as well as color adjustments. Each of these adjustments will be placed on separate layers, on top of your original background image. Because you’re working on a separate layer for all these adjustments, you are not causing any permanent damage to your original background base image. You are effectively preserving it pixel by pixel in case you need to undo your changes later. As an example, when you click on one of the icons in the Adjustments Palette, it will automatically add a new layer in your Layers Palette, as well as open up the Properties window for that particular adjustment you chose.

The Color Picker in Photoshop is used for a variety of different reasons. At a basic level, it can be used to choose a color, and then then you can paint with that color. Once you become more familiar with how it works, it can be used to match colors, transfer color values from one program to another, for internet use, or otherwise communicate with graphic designers and pressmen. This will be a simple introduction at this point. None of that crazy stuff.

Nearly every image can benefit from Cloning or Healing. It could be removing flyaway hair, dust on the lens, skin blemishes, or any of the other hundred things I could think of. Some corrections require some skill, and knowledge to handle the various tools properly. One tool stands alone for it's absolute simplicity, the Spot Healing Brush. Older versions of this tool were pretty crappy, and gave it immediate negative feels, and no one really wanted to use it. Myself included. However, with the release of CS6 and then CC, Adobe has continued to improve upon how smart it's automatic functions work. If you are new to Photoshop, check out how easy it is to clean up your images.

Photoshop is an amazing tool. Mindblowingly complex, but nearly flawless. Recently, Adobe announced all the new 2014 features for the Creative Cloud Suite of products. While I am sure that graphic designers, 3D modelers, and video technicians have plenty to be excited about, as an Image Retoucher, I find this to be another lack-luster release. Read More No related posts.

When it comes to navigating around your image, there are two tools and one palette that will come in really handy. This video will walk you through how to use the Navigator Palette, Hand Tool, and Zoom Tool. These are some of the most basic items in Photoshop, and they are really easy to use. Except maybe the Zoom Tool (otherwise known as the Magnifaction Tool). Adobe broke it in back in CS4, but I will show you how to make it work like it used to, in case you find that you hate it as much as I do.

Nobody is perfect. We all make mistakes, especially when it comes to perfecting our retouching. In those moments when you just can’t find the right adjustment for something, the History Palette comes to the rescue. By default, you will have 20 past steps that you can undo. The history palette basically just allows you to go back to your previous actions and correct past mistakes. Initially, when you go to the history palette, you will see your image and the label that says “Open”. This means that you haven’t really done anything yet but open the image. Start by clicking the pulldown Window - History, and it will open the History Palette.

Layers make up a huge chunk of the magic of Photoshop. It is one of the most crucial tools that you can use especially for non-destructive editing, but it is also one of the most confusing if you don’t quite know how to make your way around it. Don’t worry, I will help you master and understand just how each layer works by giving you the simplest and most basic overview.

Do you see that toolbar that runs along the top of Photoshop, below the main menu? That is the Options bar. The Options bar changes depending on the tool that you have selected. For instance, if we click on the Eyedropper tool, the Options bar changes into the different options and settings specifically for the Eyedropper tool only. As we go further in this whole Retouching for Beginners crash course, we’ll eventually get to the nitty-gritty of every single tool and their corresponding Options.
