WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.160
<v Speaker 1>What happens if you don't accept those cookies? So where

2
00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:05.799
<v Speaker 1>we kick off tech talk?

3
00:00:06.519 --> 00:00:08.039
<v Speaker 2>The machines are getting smarter.

4
00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:11.839
<v Speaker 3>This is tech Talk, brought to you by sky Natch.

5
00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:16.519
<v Speaker 2>Mark Saltzman joins us in talk tech. It's been a

6
00:00:16.519 --> 00:00:17.239
<v Speaker 2>couple of days.

7
00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:19.440
<v Speaker 4>How you've been, Mark, Yeah, I don't think we've ever

8
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:22.719
<v Speaker 4>gone two weeks or three weeks without doing this segment.

9
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:26.239
<v Speaker 4>But well, yeah, a little you know, traveling a lot.

10
00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:28.000
<v Speaker 4>So well we'll get into your travel here in just

11
00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:28.399
<v Speaker 4>a minute.

12
00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:31.320
<v Speaker 1>We have a little blow up Mark Saltzman doll that

13
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:34.200
<v Speaker 1>we have when you're gone for longer than a week

14
00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:36.560
<v Speaker 1>that we rely on. We put them up right here

15
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:42.640
<v Speaker 1>in the studio. So yeah, so I often wonder this Mark,

16
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:45.240
<v Speaker 1>do I really have to accept those cookies? And what

17
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:46.880
<v Speaker 1>does it all mean? Does it just mean do I

18
00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:48.840
<v Speaker 1>accept that they're taking more information from me?

19
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:50.320
<v Speaker 3>And don't they already have it already?

20
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:53.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? Essentially there's two kinds of cookies, and yeah, both

21
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:55.399
<v Speaker 4>of them are not the tasty kind. But yeah, no

22
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:57.600
<v Speaker 4>doubt your listeners when they're on their phone or on

23
00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:00.479
<v Speaker 4>a laptop or tablet, they've seen when you land on

24
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:03.000
<v Speaker 4>a website, do you accept or reject cookies.

25
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:04.000
<v Speaker 3>So what are they?

26
00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:08.159
<v Speaker 4>They're just little bits of information that the website owners

27
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:12.359
<v Speaker 4>are getting based on your clicking or you're tapping. So

28
00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:15.599
<v Speaker 4>there's first party and third party cookies. You do not

29
00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:19.040
<v Speaker 4>need to accept the third party ones. The good ones

30
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:21.959
<v Speaker 4>are where you land on a website, your bank remembers

31
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:23.840
<v Speaker 4>your logging infos, so you just have to type in

32
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:26.000
<v Speaker 4>your password. You don't have to type in your debit

33
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:28.799
<v Speaker 4>card every time, or that when you type in whether

34
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:30.760
<v Speaker 4>it knows that you're in La, it's not going to

35
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:33.920
<v Speaker 4>give you whether in I don't know Boston. There's advantages

36
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:37.920
<v Speaker 4>to first party cookies because it gets to know you

37
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:42.640
<v Speaker 4>and where you are geographically. Third party cookies, as my

38
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:45.920
<v Speaker 4>friends at McAfee told me in this Reader's Digest article

39
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:49.480
<v Speaker 4>that I wrote, are tracking cookies. So these are companies,

40
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:53.079
<v Speaker 4>usually advertisers that want to know where you're going on

41
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:55.439
<v Speaker 4>the website, where do you click first, and then where

42
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:57.959
<v Speaker 4>do you go after that website or where did you

43
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:01.200
<v Speaker 4>come from before you landed there that website or app

44
00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:05.000
<v Speaker 4>that is, and so you may get a prompt saying do.

45
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:07.599
<v Speaker 3>You want to accept these? And that's also.

46
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:11.840
<v Speaker 4>Called non essential cookies. So the short answer, Shannon and

47
00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:15.360
<v Speaker 4>Gary is that you will have to accept some or

48
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:17.120
<v Speaker 4>you may not be able to use the website at all.

49
00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:19.719
<v Speaker 4>But you can click to only accept the first party

50
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:24.879
<v Speaker 4>ones or essential cookies, and then you can disregard or

51
00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:28.680
<v Speaker 4>click deny or reject the third party ones where you

52
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:30.919
<v Speaker 4>know they want to know more about you. You're still

53
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:33.360
<v Speaker 4>going to see ads, mind you, but they won't be

54
00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:36.280
<v Speaker 4>related to you, So you're going to see ads perhaps

55
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:39.520
<v Speaker 4>for diapers when you don't have kids, so it's not

56
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:44.439
<v Speaker 4>necessarily evil, but it is tracking your whereabouts and your interests.

57
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:46.639
<v Speaker 3>And then obviously they allow you.

58
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:48.599
<v Speaker 2>Most of these browsers will allow you to go back

59
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:49.599
<v Speaker 2>and clear your cookies.

60
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:51.039
<v Speaker 3>Do you do that on a regular basis?

61
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:53.199
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I don't do it myself, but yeah, it's in

62
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:55.719
<v Speaker 4>the article as well if you want to know why

63
00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:58.319
<v Speaker 4>and how to clear your cookies again. When I've done

64
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:00.000
<v Speaker 4>that in the past, then I have to type in

65
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:03.080
<v Speaker 4>my information all over again that I don't want to

66
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:06.360
<v Speaker 4>type in, like when I log into my mail. I

67
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:08.520
<v Speaker 4>don't want my password automatically there, but I want to

68
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:10.680
<v Speaker 4>know I want to have my login info all queued

69
00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:13.560
<v Speaker 4>up right or or again going to your your your

70
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:16.680
<v Speaker 4>go to Amazon and if it doesn't remember your credit

71
00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:18.199
<v Speaker 4>card and then you're going to type it all in

72
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:20.639
<v Speaker 4>all over again. It's not convenience. So you've got to

73
00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:25.080
<v Speaker 4>straddle the line between convenience and peace of mind and

74
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:27.439
<v Speaker 4>see what fits within your comfort level.

75
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:29.639
<v Speaker 3>Would would you say you had peace of mind when

76
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:30.439
<v Speaker 3>you drove up?

77
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:34.039
<v Speaker 1>I was going to say, what's going on to the

78
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:36.319
<v Speaker 1>important stuff on an F one track?

79
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:37.039
<v Speaker 3>No less?

80
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:40.240
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, So I went to Italy with AWS, which

81
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:42.080
<v Speaker 4>is part of the Amazon family, and then I went

82
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:47.039
<v Speaker 4>to Taiwan from Italy to a convention called Computechs. It's

83
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:51.000
<v Speaker 4>basically computers as the name suggests. But yeah, Italy was

84
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:55.240
<v Speaker 4>fun because AWS has partnered with Formula one, the organization

85
00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:59.560
<v Speaker 4>to help the teams analyze their racing data, like the

86
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.599
<v Speaker 4>tele tree of the vehicles. So there's three hundred sensors

87
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:05.960
<v Speaker 4>on average on at any given F one car that

88
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:09.879
<v Speaker 4>gives data back to the teams on how to shave,

89
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:12.319
<v Speaker 4>you know, little milliseconds here and there which can all

90
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:15.319
<v Speaker 4>add up. So they brought twenty journalists from around the

91
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:19.399
<v Speaker 4>world to kick the tires on this new tech. And yeah,

92
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:22.439
<v Speaker 4>and I got a chance to drive a Ferrari on

93
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:25.240
<v Speaker 4>an F one track, which was pretty fun. I was

94
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:27.560
<v Speaker 4>a little afraid to, you know, because I haven't driven

95
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:30.360
<v Speaker 4>like gearshift in I don't know how many decades. But

96
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:34.079
<v Speaker 4>it turned out to be like paddles behind the steering wheel.

97
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:36.240
<v Speaker 4>So and then one time I took the track was

98
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:38.120
<v Speaker 4>just automatic as well. But that, yeah, it was fine.

99
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:39.480
<v Speaker 4>I didn't, you know, I was afraid.

100
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:39.839
<v Speaker 3>To really push it.

101
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:42.120
<v Speaker 4>I got up to I don't know, one hundred and

102
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:44.360
<v Speaker 4>fifty miles an hour. That was about it on a

103
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:46.079
<v Speaker 4>straight away. I was too afraid to go any more

104
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:49.360
<v Speaker 4>than that. Maybe one forty but yeah, and some hairpin turns,

105
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:51.120
<v Speaker 4>but it was fine. And then again they then they

106
00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:54.800
<v Speaker 4>we analyzed our performance. We popped the SD card out

107
00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:57.040
<v Speaker 4>of the car, popped it into a computer, and then

108
00:04:57.079 --> 00:04:59.000
<v Speaker 4>an engineer walked us through our data and we got

109
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:02.040
<v Speaker 4>to watch a race and visit the Ferrari factory. We

110
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:05.040
<v Speaker 4>had given our phones, so we couldn't take pictures or anything.

111
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:06.439
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, it was it was a really cool trip.

112
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:08.959
<v Speaker 4>I'm not a huge F one fan, but my friends are,

113
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:10.920
<v Speaker 4>and so they were pretty jelly.

114
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:13.560
<v Speaker 3>It was a great trip. Yeah, Okay, let's be honest.

115
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:15.360
<v Speaker 2>Was it one hundred and fifty miles an hour one

116
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:16.720
<v Speaker 2>hundred and fifty kilometers now.

117
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:22.040
<v Speaker 4>Because it was I think one fifty max miles, So

118
00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:24.279
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, I don't know what is it one

119
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:26.519
<v Speaker 4>ninety two hundred kilometers. I don't even know that the

120
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:28.720
<v Speaker 4>one point six I'm trying to think of.

121
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:32.399
<v Speaker 3>The two forty one forty aliometer on that. Then I

122
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:33.480
<v Speaker 3>was not going that fast.

123
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:36.639
<v Speaker 4>I was over two hundred kilometers and that's what the

124
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:39.639
<v Speaker 4>stage was in. But was so I'm wrong. It wasn't

125
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:43.800
<v Speaker 4>that fast as one hundred and fifty. But honestly, I

126
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:48.439
<v Speaker 4>was afraid it was like six hundred thousand euro vehicle.

127
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:52.439
<v Speaker 1>Right, I mean, I did the driving simulation at the

128
00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:57.879
<v Speaker 1>NASCAR Museum in Charlotte, and I know I was terrified,

129
00:05:57.920 --> 00:05:59.279
<v Speaker 1>and I knew it was a simulator.

130
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:03.040
<v Speaker 4>Well, there was one part where we got to practice drifting.

131
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:05.920
<v Speaker 4>They spray part of the track with water and then

132
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:08.480
<v Speaker 4>you do basically donuts and you have to you know,

133
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:11.160
<v Speaker 4>so you slam on the gas and then you have

134
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:14.199
<v Speaker 4>to spin the steering wheel the other way. And I thought,

135
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:16.560
<v Speaker 4>I'm from Canada, I know how to drive in the snow.

136
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:18.759
<v Speaker 4>This is easy. I'm going to ace this part, but

137
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:21.439
<v Speaker 4>it was just it was tough because of so much power,

138
00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:24.120
<v Speaker 4>you know, under the hood of these vehicles. But it

139
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:25.439
<v Speaker 4>was It was a cool trip, and so I wrote

140
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:28.079
<v Speaker 4>a piece about if anybody's interested, they can google my name,

141
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:31.120
<v Speaker 4>Mark Saltzman, Mark with the Sea and then Formula one

142
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:35.079
<v Speaker 4>and you'll see the tie in between tech and sports

143
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:38.279
<v Speaker 4>and in this case racing sports motorsports.

144
00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:39.199
<v Speaker 3>Really it was a fun.

145
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:41.279
<v Speaker 2>Trip, very cool and if one is one of those sports,

146
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:43.319
<v Speaker 2>I think, at least in the United States, it has

147
00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:46.199
<v Speaker 2>room to grow. It's gaining popularity and has a lot

148
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:46.879
<v Speaker 2>of room to grow.

149
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:50.399
<v Speaker 4>I think, aside from soccer, it's the biggest sport in

150
00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:52.360
<v Speaker 4>the world, but yeah, in the US it still has

151
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:55.360
<v Speaker 4>a room to grow. Yeah, I've been to NASCAR events

152
00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:57.680
