Tomorrow Daily - 102: No offline Netflix, giving holiday GIFs, eating cricket cookies and more

2014-12-17
I'm today's show a super sophisticated way to eliminate blind spots and have really cool navigation in your fancy car Netflix PR let's sit down and tells us we can't have netflix on offline mode oh and we're gonna tell you how you can send a 100-foot tall holiday greeting oh and we're gonna eat some cookies made with crickets cuz you know like you do some our daily greetings citizens of the Internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best geek talk show in the known universe I'm your host Ashley scan the join me as always once again forevermore kill anonymous you have a reason why we're eating these cricket I do ok promise there's an actual reason behind this okay all right there's a one-percent good trustful reason we're gonna will discuss we'll discuss the first we gotta hit the headlines so a few weeks ago do you remember the transparent car the gem yes okay the Japanese researchers they had like the special projection screens and the cameras in the mirrors it was like very kind of crazy setup little scary but yes a little weird okay so this is actually a really sophisticated version of that brought to us by Jaguar and Land Rover yegua uh this is this is really cool so we're gonna watch this video notice on the the beams there the guy who's crossing the street uh-huh check this out on the right side boom it makes the the beam right there that pillar on the side of your windshield look like as if it's transparent so you're seeing Oh see there you see that okay so this is really cool so what that is though is it's not a projection it's a screen and they use cameras to show you what's on those screens like so they will show you a view of what's on the other side of that pillar if there is something to be seen there so if the thing decides like you know whatever and then this is it isn't projection on your windshield that is a quote unquote ghost car that shows you navigation so instead of saying like just turn right it's a little bit easier for the human eye to sort of follow a car like an actual car so there it is there's the ghost car right in the middle of the windshield there and he's driving forward and then the car is going to be like oh hey like turn right or left and then you follow the car the actual like projection of a car going down the road that's amazing that awesome wow no what no no ghost time trials yeah like in Mario Kart based on banana peels can't really awesome um but so the cool thing is that these blind spots would only activate if the car oh he drove by a parking structure and it said how many spaces were free right so this is a total concept that they want to kind of implement in their vehicles at some point in the future nothing rolling off the production line next year or anything like that but they're saying that this system will reach its full potential when they can kind of link into infrastructure like parking structures and restaurants and road closures you know different things I accidents things like that where your windshield would basically be your hub that wouldn't necessarily get in your way or be distracting but they would enhance your information so all that information would be at the drivers fingertips so it should be really cool yeah and you wouldn't have to like to you know whenever I use maps I have to look at my phone to look down and see like oh and I like and also being able to see through the beams could clear out some blind spots for sure I think that's the big thing so i really liked in the video if you didn't notice when the driver sitting there like this as soon as he turns his head that's when the car recognizes that you need to see behind your blind spot so it changes the screen on the pillar change awesome really the coolest car tech I've seen in a while yeah like I really like this idea it's really cool it's interesting it's um and I feel like this is a much more practical use of it instead of a fully transparent car yeah if you're listening on iTunes you really got to see this one this is like I dick so cool i picked like one and 16 times in which to say you need to see this that's different this is definitely one that's that's awesome I want that I want that in my car yeah I want it in all cars I mean that's the one complaint I have about my philoso- ER Oh blosser it's an awesome car but the blind spots in that car a little challenging if I do say so myself and you do say so yourself and I do i do say tell me about netflix ok so i gotta be say that was a happy story this one's a little sad because there's been people that have wanted to watch netflix offline yeah you know you're going on a flight you want to like have a couple that you can watch on the flight well netflix netflix PR specifically cliff edwards has said that no that is never going to happen that's a direct quote yeah he said never going to happen this was of course because a lot of people were saying you know like they're worried about you know quality and finding Wi-Fi broadband that works works well so they want to have some that are offline and netflix is like you know you know what look like it's never going to be a problem you know it's it's I think the big argument is like this is a band-aid offline mode is a band-aid for a bigger problem which is Netflix wants everybody to have broadband everywhere so that you can use netflix everywhere yeah and that you don't have an offline mode and I would imagine there's probably what licensing stuff there's probably licensing like having something on your having a movie on your you're a little different yeah it's almost like owning it but we never connect again it's your movie but to be fair if you rent a movie from will you rent it like I'll tell you rented it so if you rent it from let's say uh what is it google google play store you can pin it so anything that you have instead of streaming it you can pin like that's in the cloud so you can like pin it and then it's available offline until you decide you don't want it on your device in orange I'm pin it but netflix has like certain length licensing so they're like crowd you can only have our movie for like you prepare amounts like you can only have this movie for five months yeah and then they pull it and then if you have that they can't control it and that's true yeah if you were to pin something like bad boys it's going away this is on netflix is it but bad boys two is gonna be on netflix in january oh you can't have a screaming camel ya know you're gonna have to you know you do uh New Year's Eve screening a bad boys New Year's Day screen about there you go yeah a new years playing wind it up to like midnight so you could just watch them back I totally understand this netflix thing I get it it's and I what like I wasn't even actually jonesing for this it's yeah I night one I think that they're right in that there's a million other places to get offline content and the other thing is is that they're they're banking on the fact that in a few years this is not even going to be an issue that everybody will be able to have you know reliable enough broadband to stream netflix wherever which is ambitious but we'll see we'll see but that brings us to our hashtag of the day I'm really curious as to what you guys think about this it's TD Netflix and I want to know are you is this era cool 'this are you angry are you Netflix easier furious are you gonna cancel your subscription cuz no offline mode like is this something with that is really important to you and if it is like why or why not should netflix offer offline mode I just I like I feel like we already made our argument yeah no it's not their responsibility they offer streaming service that's what they offer they don't they shouldn't have to go that extra mile I know but it's travel i'm not paying three dollars a month it's like maybe I'll extra cheer like pinning offline yeah 30 bucks a month I don't know they're like your pastor kind of that I don't know you can rent movies but that's the hashtag thing I like I'm really curious to see cuz people are really like really they're really up in arms about this I feel like they'd have upset about the fact that's like well when you say never I mean when a PR person is like it's never going to happen whoa we'll get upset about that cuz they had hope they were like oh maybe someday oh now it's like no we're shutting that down yeah they're working on they got other stuff they need to worry about fair enough yeah they got it they got to worry about Marco Polo are hearing not very great things show coming out with Marco Polo yeah it's like they are they doing all these it's they're like Game of Thrones type show where it's like this big you know kind of fantasy historical epic tale with boobs and stuff swearing things but yeah I just um I haven't been hearing great things that's all I'm saying that's I I have not personally seen it but I have heard from a few people that they were not impressed um but things moving on to things that are impressive to some people it's your user comments no uh this is holiday gifts not gifts with atty gifts animated like anime build it there um if a card is not going to cut it for you this holiday season let's say you you feel bigger than a card here your holiday cheer is so much bigger than a tiny little card that you want to set in the mail I got a great idea for you okay all right so you have until I think the 19th you have until this friday oh you're ready no I you can actually shout your greeting in a 100 foot high animated gif a holiday holiday greeting in San Francisco they're gonna project them onto the side of two buildings on Market Street oh I want to sit and animated gifts so it's going to be this is the brainchild of WP engine labs ten up and grey area foundation so they're going to actually project these like animated gifts on to uh buildings and you're going to be able to go over to gift the halls com gif falls here's a website gift the halls calm you can choose a premade animated gift so these those are all the gifts so let's say you pick this nice animated gift that's a fire these are all local Bay Area digital artists who've made these animated gifts um so you gotta register for the site you can sign with Facebook or whatever type your message in and then you hit submit and then it will be projected a hundred foot tall onto these buildings between the 20th and the 24th of this month and that's that's what it's going to look like that's it that actually might even be a smaller version because they said a hundred foot tall so it's going to be bigger than that um and it's free yeah I mean us and they're not live streaming it you have to be in the bay area but no no here's the cool thing so if you're not there they're gonna email you an image of your message being projected on the wall they'll email it to you after they after they put it up there and it's free yeah you can go over to gift the halls com so they'll you'll get an image of the card via email to prove to have proof I'm expecting somebody to do that for us tell us happy happy xmas or whatever and also I to us is there photog refer I have already taken the liberty of signing of telling San Francisco happy holidays from us here at oh very cool get that and then hopefully we'll either show it on the show maybe before Kristen a if we get the email like I don't know when it's gonna go up on a wall let me know if San Francisco calls us I'm gonna call us San Francisco I said call 8675309 oh oh oh yeah ask for Jenny but yeah that's uh it's just it i thought that was funny interesting weird kind of kind of awesome yeah and if you're not there you can still do it and say happy holidays in San Francisco but I Theologo they tell you keep it clean so you can't can't go crazy and you can't pick your own animated gif which is a real bummer that seems like a huge I would have picked the animated gif of Oprah giving bees every time I answer when I own a given there's a really good one for my cowboy all right we're gonna take a quick break we'll be back in 30 seconds or so and we're gonna eat these crickets and I'm gonna eat some eat some crickets so I don't click away tomorrow daily welcome back my hits you right hand welcome back to tomorrow daily we okay I don't even know where to begin with this so let's just run the the back of the hacker graphic okay so I have to clarify this is not actually up for crowdfunding right now yeah this was crowdfunded earlier this year so it I backed it and a-one and it got funded okay so this is chirps this is uh these are I think the Kickstarter started off as I they were towards tortilla chips I guess made out of crushed cricket pata flower will hold on to it don't don't I'm not yet soon to smelled it should it widened should I smelled it okay so here's chirps these are cricket chip so these three um very enterprising women started this company called six foods and they talk about how meet in the future is going to be a lot harder to be sustainable and how how we get our protein in Western culture is quite a bit different than some other cultures where they're totally fine with eating bugs yes we're not and they found the best way to get people in Western society to eat above is to fool them it's a trick yes so just like you trick your kids and eating their vegetables tricking adults into eating crickets their ground up sterilized they're sterile ground crickets and so they ground them into a flower and they make you know turkey and chips I'm getting the chips in I think it's January are going alright so but for the holidays as a thank you they added a free like they kicked in cooking half dozen chocolate chip cricket cookies so I decided to bring them in and we have to taste test them on the air because honestly it's like what good are we to tell you to back her hackett if I don't with my own personal funds back something and then follow up with it and tell you if it's in you got to put them up your money and your crickets for your mouth is that's exactly right and so so I'm gonna let you take one first because I I've been sick and so I don't to reach in there and touch a cookie right okay um let me get like one that's not yeah ticket pick a good one maybe with less crickets in it okay so all right okay did you ever see snowpiercer I did where they eat the little the little blue black blocks that turn out to be cockroaches yeah yeah super gross that's what that's the mode I'm in right now you just dropped a whole cricket cuz I'm sorry it should hop back into the bag all right let's do this you want me to read what's in it don't you read what's in it while I'm eating it while you're eating okay semi-sweet chocolate chips is the number one ingredient sugar salted butter wheat flour eggs cricket flour oat flour brown sugar vanilla extract baking soda and salt and there's three grams of protein per cookie three grams all right so I'm gonna try I'm gonna try this it smells like a molasses cookie we're eating crickets right now how many crickets are in honestly / I would like to know the ratio of crickets per cookie I think it's good it almost tastes better than like some some oh I'm sorry guys but some of my friends cookies that they sent me for the holidays like bits may be better than that do you feel weird about eating crickets do you want some water I'm so sick so I'm coughing now oh my god your face is amazing okay to explain it to you these these three girls women are fantastic at making cookies now we'll say that it's sweet and delicious oh god the cricket and maybe it's just all my brain and psychological maybe it's all my brain makes a little tangy now as long as it's tangy I don't get that you know what I think on a dragon assault that's insulting oh I made poke two days ago no salt got out a little salt you can't tell me you can taste the cricket in that kill they must added a lot of cinnamon there is it done I it's like milliner cinnamon or molasses or what's that one there's one flower we can't really take what I'm saying is you can't really cricket you can't really taste anything but I could tell something is a little something's off it's off not like dangerously so it's a special recipe where it's like this is not a traditional yeah you're just a glitch if you're just like wait a minute this is this is a little bit of a variance good my mind says hey wait a minute that's not all hundred percent 12 cookies like a ninety-nine point nine percent what I'm gonna give these to people at Christmas like my family I'm not gonna tell them until after they ya see what happens maybe I'll film it somebody did that with me recently with a deer hot dog it was nice yeah it was uh try cuz it did I've been eating a lot of weird stuff recently I bet so at least you're not giving blood while playing video games I'm sorry I do brought that up yeah no I'm not really that I can't eat any more could I know I know you've lost your appetite yeah but yeah so if you want to check out six foods you can go over to six foods comic they have a whole website you pre-ordered chips if you were chirps I should say chirps I like the idea of us eating weird crap on this show a lot I do too i'm to it um but yeah that's back at Highgate follow up follow him back at her hackett so i want to try the chips cuz that's what that's where they were boasting right yeah okay yeah your ground up crickets in like tortilla chips okay we can't

those are the crickets my tongue is really really dry and also it feels like there's like spikes does your stomach feel weird like circuits are jumping around in there they just re like congealed and animated reanimate of themselves inside your stomach I'm okay with us as as I think it's Americans eating more bugs I'm totally cool with it no that's why banks are good or for pepper it was like I
