Auto news on Youtube Sep 29 2018

Hey everybody

Welcome back, I hope you enjoyed the last couple videos

Today we are going to talk about Self Driving Cars

because it is something I talked about in my Uber Video

which you can see a link right up there on how I want to leave and don't

So, today I want to talk about Self Driving Cars

This my my Channel, Random Thoughts and Rants

Talk about just about anything I want to talk about on this channel

If there is something you would like to talk about, go ahead and leave it in the comments below

and I may, or may not, talk about it, because this is my channel

and I will do what I want with it, and if you don't like it, I'm sorry

but not really, sorry, not sorry

being an uber driver and being a rideshare driver in general

the self driving cars are

a lot in your mind, sure they are not coming around

this year, or next year, if you are watching this video in 2028

or whatever, and you are laughing at me because this was recorded

in September 2018

when self driving cars weren't there, I mean they had them

they were experimenting, they were perfecting, working on the AI

Tesla has theirs and Uber is working on some

and some other car manufacturers are working on theirs, Google and whatnot

Alphabet, whatever you want to call them

Now, keep in mind

All of the information I give you is just stuff I have heard

it may or may not be accurate, if it is not accurate, leave a comment below

being nice, and saying here is the accurate truth

and leave a link or send me a link

that proves that you are right and I am wrong

I am am more than willing to admit when I am wrong

But, Self Driving Cars

It is just so amazing where we live in a time where that is a possibility

In fact, in a lot of places, it is a reality, they actually work

They do work, they don't work perfect

But, they are working very well

It is amazing, because

You will be able to get in a car just like in all of the movies we see

You will be able to get in a car and it will take off and drive on it's own

and you will say take me home, it will take you home, because it will know where your home is

And nobody will actually own cars. Companies will own cars

like Uber will own cars or GM will own the cars

or whoever... Bob will own 50 cars and

his cars will take you where you want to go

And that is what I think is amazing, and it is not just

a traffic issue that I think about, I think about

I love, first of all, I love to go on a Road Trip

I like to drive, I enjoy driving, I love getting on the freeway

and just keep going and going and going

and just wee where the road takes me, take a 2-lane road and go somewhere fun

Having a self driving car do that, where

I can enjoy the actual scenery more

or, I can look around and I don't have to focus

on the driving, worry about someone wrecking

worry about someone changing a lane into me, or

a deer running across the road, whatever it is

I don't have to worry about it, I can look, I can take a nap

that would be fantastic

I could watch a movie, but,

I really enjoy watching the scenery

I like watching whats going on around me and just enjoying

and think about it, if you are with a family, on a road trip,

you can play road games, we have all kinds of stupid

little road games, the alphabet game, or whatever

It is an amazing thing

to me, that

self driving cars

are going to happen probably in my lifetime

Unless something unforeseen happens to me

relatively quickly. They will happen in my lifetime

And that is something

as a high school kid I would ever think.

It was always a fantasy, science fiction

it's like, "oh yea, that's never going to happen"

What's a computer? Computers are too slow

We never, I never had the vision in high school

to see that computers would get fast enough, AI would get good enough

to see that this would actually happen

and I guess that is something that comes with age

You know, you realize that

fantasies are not always fantasy, because people

that were in high school when I was in high school

had the same fantasies, but they also had an idea on how

to make that fantasy come true

I think that self driving cars are going to be a good thing and it's going to have a lot of

problems when they get to self driving trucks

the one thing i see as a problem with self driving trucks is

not only will drivers be out of jobs, but

a lot of support jobs will be out of

jobs. The people that work at the

truck stops, they are going to be out of work, because there are going to be no trucks

stopping with people in them to go eat

and to go to the restroom. They are still going to have some attendants

and maybe some mechanics and people like that to

fix things when things go wrong. But, there is not going to be a driver

in the car to service, there's not going to be a driver in the car to

go in and eat lunch, there is not going to be a driver in the car to go buy

some stuff for his truck or for his trip, some souvenirs

for the family. That is millions of jobs that are going to be lost

And how is that

going to affect the economy of the world?

the economy of just the United States?

The economy of everything

Elon Musk goes and talks about, er, maybe not just Elon Musk, but people talk about

A global type of economy, I can't remember the name of it

If I think of it, or if I find out, I will put it on the screen somewhere so you can see it

It is about how companies who are doing too much automation or

a lot of automation and have gotten rid of a lot of jobs pay higher taxes

those higher taxes go to the people who don't have jobs

and there is like a common salary

Ok, and now I am kind of rambling, and going off on a tangent

on something else, maybe I'll talk about that some other day

Keep in mind, I am not a genius, if you guys want to know

a lot of cool, different information about these kinds things that are

more in depth and more researched, there is a guy on YouTube called

called Joe Scott, I will leave a link to his channel below

he is really cool, he doesn't know me, he doesn't know about

my channel, I am teeny tiny. He is a really good guy, he is not

a scientist or anything, but he is really good at doing his research and

he is very entertaining and you will learn a lot on his channel

but, anyway, my thoughts, I just talk about what I think about it

I think about... [stutter]... I am excited

for self driving cars, but I am also a little concerned

as to what it means for the economy

I am really worried about that, what's it going to mean to the people, I mean

and society in general, and how is our society going to change

that's what I like to hear from you guys, what do you think

about self driving cars and how it's going to affect

the global economy, the global society?

and everything else in the world?

Just self driving cars and self driving trucks

Tell me your pros, tell me your cons, tell me everything. I want to know

and maybe I will make a follow up video on it, this is a new channel

i don't know what I want to do. I know I want to talk about thoughts and I want to rant

and stuff like that, and that is what we are going to do

If you like that kind of thing, make sure you subscribe to the channel, click the notification bell

and if you like this video, like it, and share it among your friends

and i don't really have a good sign off right now, so we just kinda say, "I'll see you in the next video"

and thank you very much for watching

INFJ: Learning Self Love and Acceptance - Duration: 8:08.

Now what the heck is this INFJ stuff you might well ask, I did a couple of months

ago because it was the first time that I took the Myers-Briggs test and found that I'm

an INFJ - 2% of the population are INFJs, and I keep bandying around this

term of INFJ as if it's evident to everybody what the heck that means but

it's an acronym that you get when you take the Myers-Briggs test. Myers-Briggs

is a personality test, there are sixteen possibilities that you

can be, and it's all based on your levels of intuition your levels of extrovert-ism

and introvert-ism and other stuff like that. You take a whole load of

questions about how do you feel in the crowded room and all that, and and then you get

your personality type, and for me it's actually been extremely enlightening and

I have my health coach to thank for this because he encouraged me as part of our

health coaching process to take the test because health is a holistic thing

and to be truly healthy happy and full of vibrancy

it is important to first of all know thyself. I think there was a pre-

Myers-Briggs me and a post Myers-Briggs me - the pre- one was constantly

apologising for being the way I am and trying to be somebody else because when

you're a rare personality type - 2% of the population is kind of rare, it is the

rarest one out of the sixteen personalities - you don't fit in. Because

everybody around you is a different personality type and even when you do

find other INFJs you're like 'oh you're a bit weird' - I think that's what's happened

to me in the past. Because we are.

There's a certain intensity to INFJs there's an

extremely strong need for alone time. We are highly sensitive people - too

sensitive - since I am of the less social types of personality types and most

other people in my entourage or in the world in general are more sociable than

me, I felt bad and wrong for needing to be on my own so much so I've sort of

forced myself into socialising and that's really really really exhausting.

I mean it's my own fault for trying to put a mask on me and

trying to be someone I'm not, but I've always found social occasions to be

highly frustrating, boring, disappointing, annoying, tiring, overstimulating and just gah.

But that is no reflection on the people that I was spending my time with.

It is 100% a reflection on me trying to be someone I wasn't and therefore having

wholly unsatisfactory social exchanges because of putting on a face and pretending

to be this person and actually I'm going 'oh get me out of here get me out here'.

Yeah so it's hard being an INFJ. I don't know if you're watching this,

perhaps you're an INFJ - and if you relate to what I'm saying then let me

know. Everybody's special let me e clear, I'm not just kind of like putting all the

INFJs into this special category and everybody else is the same, no we're all special,

there are so many different personality types,

everybody's got their quirks, but I think that INFJs do really need to learn

self-acceptance and self-knowledge and to realise that they don't need to be

ashamed that the don't particularly like social

encounters, or let's put that another way - they need to learn to be themselves

in social encounters because that's when the human

exchange becomes satisfactory and enriching because you show up as your

real self, your own idiosyncratic quirksome self. So if you're an INFJ too then I

encourage you to live your personality type and don't apologise for it and

certainly don't pretend to be someone that you're not because it's only going

to end in disaster. I am going to go into the tendency of INFJs to fall into addictive patterns

next time I talk about this because addiction is often a symptom of

deep-seated shame - toxic shame - that makes us think that we're inherently wrong. But

we're not inherently wrong as INFJs, we're just different and anyone else who has a

different personality who suffers from toxic shame - you're not wrong either,

nobody's wrong, nobody's right, we're all just a little bit different to each other and the

more that we can accept that and not try and mirror other people's behaviour

because we think that what's out there is more acceptable than who

we are because other people seem to have their s*** together much better than we do

that's certainly a trait to get rid of. Yay for being odd, yay for being unapologetic about the

person that we are - unless we're a serial killer in which case you might want to

reconsider. But if you're just an honest INFJ going about your business in an

extremely tortured and oversensitive way, just ride it - ride

it and find the tools that you need to regroup on a daily basis and wipe that

slate clean and protect your own energy.

Please share in the comments below the emoji - because we love emojis on Veggie Magnifique -

that you think best represents INFJ-dom. Maybe it's the monkey

doing this because sometimes as INFJs we don't dare express ourselves because

we think that everybody else has got it figured out and nobody wants to listen

to us - oh, pity party. No it's not that, it's not a pity party,

it's just being ill at ease with the very different perception that we might

have of things that we think is inherently wrong because it doesn't

reflect what other people are putting down. So yeah the monkey but you might

have other ideas. Alright so off I pop to drink my bucket of matcha and we will

see you next time on Veggie Magnifique. If you enjoy our content and you're ready

The Simple Truth: How Do You Get Your Sense of Self Back? - Duration: 4:32.

- Today's question is from Christina.

Christina what's going on?

- You know, I have no motivation.

In the past I was this successful actress, model and

felt like the world was my oyster.

I could just do anything I set my mind to and,

and then I got into a really bad relationship, bad marriage.

- It happens.

- And, ever since then you would think exiting

that relationship I'd be unstuck.

Because I've gotten my life back,

I have this great boyfriend.

But I even have a prepaid gym membership.

But I don't go.

I moved to the beach so I would have a more active lifestyle

and feel good about myself.

And, I've gained almost, I think it's 100 pounds.

- 100 pounds, really? - 100 pounds.

My entire life I was like 120 pounds.

Tiny.

How do I make a comeback?

- So is there an event coming up?

A wedding or something that

you wanted to go to? - Oh yeah my boyfriend.

He wants me to go to this wedding

and I don't wanna face his social network

or his friends

because I don't feel comfortable enough in my own skin

to be on his arm.

I feel so guilty because he's such a great guy

and I don't feel like he's getting the best version of me.

- And I could really understand that.

Having weighed 420 pounds,

going through failed relationships.

The heavier you get, the more you eat, you eat more

because you're getting heavier.

You don't want to go out, you don't want to get dressed.

You're ashamed of going out 'cause you're so big.

I understand those feeling, but one of the things

that helped me get through it, and really hold myself

accountable to be able to transform my life.

First of all, not taking the excuses that

because of my weight I'm not gonna get anywhere,

I'm not gonna be successful.

And then understanding the why.

The why is important to understand because

when you have a goal,

you wanna understand why you're doing it

because when the obstacles come up,

that's gonna push you through.

There's an obstacle, okay, this is hard.

I don't wanna do this.

Why am I doing this?

I'm doing this because I love myself.

I'm doing this because I deserve a better life.

I'm doing this because I want transformation.

And that why is what drives everything through

and you get through the obstacles

and you get through to the other side.

But you have to do the hard work and it starts with

loving yourself and understanding

that you have to hold yourself accountable and worthy.

(applause)

With that said we have a giveaway for you.

Carlson Cabuko is going to train with you once a week

at Knockout Fitness for three months,

to get you back on track.

- Oh my god. (applause)

That's amazing.

Thank you so much.

- We also have someone to help you find your sense

of purpose and passion when you're looking for a job.

Ventura Counseling & Wellness Center is offering you

up to three months of counseling and special programs,

which may include life coaching and career coaching.

- Whoa. (applause)

That's amazing.

I just don't feel like a can do it by myself.

So that's such a gift.

- Don't let it get overwhelming either.

You know, you need to take baby steps.

- Exactly. - Yeah.

- I was gonna say that. - Don't like,

I'm gonna go on a diet.

And then if you fall off, you get back on.

Don't beat yourself up and try to accomplish everything.

And you've gotta convince yourself, it's gonna take time.

- [Women] Yeah, yeah.

It doesn't happen overnight.

- You know what I do, I create vision boards for myself.

- [Host] Yes.

You Know?

So that you start setting goals.

Like, in the next three months,

I hope I can drop five or ten pounds.

Don't think, Oh my gosh.

I'm gonna go to the gym and thirty pounds is coming off

and I'm gon' be fine, I'm gon' be back in that bikini.

Let me tell you something. (laughter)

You will get back in that bikini.

You're a woman and embrace your curves.

- [Christina] That's her.

- Yes, you are woman, hear you roar.

- [Christina] I used to know her.

- I know!

That's right.

So you still catching with them dimples over there.

So, okay. (applause)

So just start some goals with yourself.

Say, hey, in the next couple of months

I wanna lose five or ten pounds.

It takes time, but you gotta want it.

Okay?

So that when you create those vision boards

and then also when you get milestones,

take a picture, be proud of it, celebrate.

I do myself a favor,

(applause) - [Host] Celebrating.

- Six days a week, I try to make sure

that I stick to my diet, and I eat my vegetables

and I eat really good.

And then I have one day, honey, that I just

eat whatever I want to.

If I want cheese, I want bread, whatever it is.

That's your cheat day, okay?

But try to balance it, and then drink a lot of water.

But more importantly get your spirit happy.

Alright?

Cause life is worth living. - Get off the pity pot.

Don't be on that pity pot.

- Okay? - I know.

- Life is a worth living. - I don't like the pity pot.

Thank you so much.

Should You Self-Publish Your Book? - The Pros & Cons - Duration: 6:07.

- Hello everyone, my name is Mandi Lynn.

I'm the author of the fantasy novels Essence and I am Mercy

and thriller novel She's Not Here

and also the creator of AuthorTube Academy.

And we are four days away until the release of this book.

So how are we celebrating today?

Well we are gonna be talking about

the pros and cons to self publishing.

(uplifting music)

So hopefully you are watching this video

if you're trying to decide whether

you would like to traditionally publish

or if you would like to delve

into the world of self publishing.

So there are many pros and cons to self publishing

just like there are many pros and cons

to traditional publishing.

Today I have much experience with self publishing

and I also am friends with a few

traditionally published authors.

So I have kinda gotten the grip

on what is the good and the bad

and that is what we're gonna be talking about today.

So let's get the bad stuff out of the way

and start talking about the cons of self publishing.

So this one is pretty obvious,

but you have to pay for everything.

So without the support of a publisher

everything comes out of your paycheck.

So this means you are the one paying for the editor,

the cover designer and the marketing

and any book events that you may want to go to.

Now you can write off these expenses when it comes to taxes,

but it's still an expense

and you still gotta come up with the money.

Con number two is that the distribution is smaller.

So this can change from author to author

and also depending on who you use to distribute your books

if you only use CreateSpace you're a little more limited.

If you use IngramSpark you are a little more unlimited.

But it is harder to get your book into bookstores

when you are a self published author

although it is not completely impossible.

Con number three is that you get fewer sales.

So this again is not necessarily true,

it depends how you market your book

and how big your platform is.

If you have a large platform, you may be better off

than some traditionally published authors.

But if you have a small platform,

you are gonna make fewer sales.

But it all comes down to how much work

and effort you throw into it.

And the last con I'd like to talk about

might actually be the biggest con is that anyone can do it.

So that is also a pro, but the con to that

is just the fact that because anyone can do it

literally anyone can do it.

Which means sometimes the books

that are published aren't the best.

Now a lot of people seem to think

that self published authors,

their books just weren't good enough

for the traditionally published world

and while that is not necessarily true,

the bad self published books that are out there

kinda ruin the reputation for the good self published books.

I would like to consider my book a good self published book,

but I would be lying if I said

people haven't looked down at me because I'm self published.

I say if you hold yourself

like a traditionally published author,

if you present yourself like one

and you throw as much effort into it

and you make yourself look like one, you are fine.

So there is a whole flooded market

of bad self publishing book,

but in that market is also

the very good self published books

and that's what you want to be

and that's what you want to aim for.

So now that we've gotten the cons out of the way,

let's talk about the pros of self publishing.

Pro number one is my favorite one

and that is that you have complete control.

So this is the number one reason I am self published

because this is the first thing you lose

as a traditionally published author and that is control.

You don't get to choose the cover,

you may have a little bit of say,

but you probably won't have a lot of say.

You don't get to decide where the book is gonna be sold

or how much that book is gonna be sold for.

You don't get to decide what events you go to

or how many signings you have a year.

But when you're self published,

you get to decide all those things,

you can go to as many events as you want,

you can sell your book wherever you want,

you can set it for whatever price you want

as long as you're able to logically do it yourself,

as long as you have the budget and the means,

you can do whatever you want.

Pro number two is that you get to take all the credit

so this means if your book is wildly successful

you get to take all the credit

and you get to give yourself a big pat on the back.

Now that is not to say that when you're self published

you do it all alone,

if you ever look at the acknowledgements sections

of a self published book there are a lot of people involved

in the publication of a book.

But for the most part, it was all you,

or in this case me.

And pro number three might be the biggest pro

for some people is that you get a bigger chunk of the money.

So when you are self publishing

you're the only one who gets the royalties.

When you're traditionally published the royalties

kinda get split up between the whole team of people

that helped publish the book.

So when you're self published you make a few bucks a book

when you're traditionally published,

I don't know how much you make a book, but it's not as much.

So as long as you sell a ton of books

when you're self published

you could actually make more money self publishing

than you would traditionally publishing.

So those are my pros and cons to self publishing.

Talking Type 1: Self-Image - Duration: 3:23.

I don't want Type 1 diabetes to control my life.

There's like, many layers.

Like, I'm a theater nerd now, I'm also a film nerd,

and I'm a diabetic.

And sometimes I forget that.

There are honestly some times where I just completely forget

I have diabetes and those times are my favorite times because I

feel like a normal kid.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

What does it do to your self-image just having

to battle diabetes every day?

On the bad days, you kind of see yourself as still,

like, I'm trying, you know, like I'm

still trying to be the best person

I can be with this disease.

But I think it's reassuring when I

meet others with type 1 diabetes to know that I'm not alone.

I think she's like a warrior.

There's nothing that she can't handle.

She's proven that to me over and over

again that she can just keep on going no matter

what the challenge is.

I look at myself the same.

You know, before I had diabetes, I kind of

remember what it was like.

But now I just have this whole other routine

that I have to do.

I couldn't imagine getting through this without my family,

you know, like my sisters and my mom.

They're constantly there all the time making sure I'm OK.

And even though they get annoying at times, I love them.

I see my kid as a champion because a lot of kids

can't do she do--

trying to control your carbs and know what

you got to do at certain times.

I just-- I call her a champion all the time.

I don't want type 1 diabetes to control my life.

There's many layers.

Like, I'm a theater now, I'm also a film nerd,

and I'm a diabetic.

And sometimes I forget that.

There are honestly some times where I just completely forget

I have diabetes and those times are my favorite times because I

feel like a normal kid.

Al's always been so fiercely independent,

not just with the diabetes, but just with everything.

Hopefully they know that while we can't really understand what

they're going through, we appreciate that what they have

is not an easy thing to deal with.

I want to be able to have a family

and be the healthiest version of myself

that I can be for the future that I see myself having.

I feel like I do a good job about truly feeling positive

about it and it's kind of given me a story

and that part I'm thankful for.

But, you know, sometimes I just wish that I was normal

and that I didn't have to worry about testing my blood sugar,

giving myself insulin, or going to sleep at night.

I hope she knows that I know how challenging it is for her,

but then again I don't know because I don't live with it,

and that I would do anything to take that from her,

even for a day, just so she could feel normal, you know,

without it.

Even though sometimes it feels like my parents are nagging

because they don't have the disease

and they might not understand, I don't understand

what it's like to have a child with Type 1 diabetes

and that would be pretty scary.

So I appreciate you.

Aww.

I love you.
