Hello Mrs Clara the bitcoin trader is legit and her method works like magic I keep on earning every single week with her new strategy
Thanks for the recommendation I just contacted her and she attends to me nicely
I remember friends calling me crazy when I started but now I shut up them with my four figure weekly returned I'm happy today because of Mrs Clara
I got $6k to my cash app today thanks for
helping me in Bitcoin
Thanks for letting Bill talk without interrupting him!
@fusionaut23 lol what? care to explain?
Yea a thug must talk while idiots must listen?
@fusionaut23 seems pretty fucking dark towards a good willing philanthropist. Geez
@@entiretwix1480 Factor in on comment on RUclips they might not be talking about the same bill.. playing with letter and using language to communicate in ways zero accountability is held to anything that is said.. The ABg crowd.
@@Plafintarr Don't feed it.
Wear brass knuckles to the interview incase Bill gets out of hand.
rofl
Haha.. Precisely
lol
Or tried to inject you
The knuckles were revealed gradually & the billionaire has no choice but continue talk - feel he blinks more than usual interviews
“The only zero sum game is war.” - profound observation.
there is a time for peace and there is a time for war. anybody who pretends otherwise is a liar
it's pretty obvious, that's why people have been pushing for global free trade
Actually, that's pretty fatuous, coming from a hundred billionaire. It is billionaires that have produced a world with so much wealth inequality that people war over limited resources. Give people better wages, Bill. Charge less for Windows, Bill. Expand the middle class by keeping less money for yourself, Bill. That's how billionaires can help stop wars.
@@jimbo92107 That's stupid on so many levels. First, selling people the means to do great things never made anyone poor. Second, Windows is about to become free of charge, just like Mac OS. Third and most important, the middle class has been destroyed in the West by the financial elite through outsourcing, wealth redistribution and the importation of a permanent lower class immigrant worker population. You can't solve the problem by even more wealth redistribution, that's literally crazy. You have two options: 1. Hang the traitors, protectionist policies and mass deportations. 2. Double down on open borders and wealth redistribution, sink into the pit of 'democratic socialism' and fall apart USSR style. I'm betting on 2.
@@jimbo92107 Your comment makes no sense at all. Why would different nations war because of wealth inequality within one of those nations? Way to shoehorn inequality, as people like yourself usually do.
Instead of asking Bill to charge less for Windows, why not ask the value Windows brings by just existing? Perhaps it has helped bolster a middle-class by allowing a wider range of people to leverage computers, eh? And i'm not sure why you're asking for people at Microsoft to be better paid. They already are well paid and people like you probably complain about it and call them the 1%.
One of the key takeaways from this is that there is a case for optimism. Too much of the news agenda is negative in the world at the moment that it's becoming a self-fulfilling prophesy. Working in the communication sector, we've seen firsthand how connectivity is changing the world (for both good and bad, but overall, I think, good).
I kinda like how at the end, and I'm totally guessing here, but you can see in his step, a quickness.... he's already off to the next thing, no time to waste. He seems to be approaching BMGF with a kind of urgency appropriate to the substance of the project.
It saddens me that our culture doesn't acknowledge the contributions of Bill Gates more.
Fine thanks bills for makin windows feel better ok cmptrs skd b4 icons sadly i no this seriously n on nee here thank u bill gates
@@jerrybender6633 honestly bill gates when he was part of Microsoft was an absolute asshole, a lot of what he did was underhanded and utterly ruthless. However bill gates as head of the bill and Melinda Gates foundation (this interview was largely referring to it's current work), is by far the world's most generous and impactful philanthropist. Your comment suggests you have no clue what the foundation has been doing, l would try to explain but it's too much to bother, so to put it simply it's a single charity/foundation that is doing more to help the poor all over the world to achieve a better quality of life than any government while at the same time investing lots of money into numerous projects to combat climate change, disease, sanitation and a bunch of other issues. It's insane people don't know more about what the foundation does, but then it doesn't try to guilt money out of people like the charities that advertise on tv or have people annoy you on the street or over the phone so it doesn't really need people to know what it has been achieving.
@@Jake12220 Goes to the show the difference in running a corporation that needs to meet quarterly targets, versus running a philanthropist organization. The priority shift is drastic.
@@rousseau327 it is indeed, in buisness terms he was masterful and lm sure the inspiration for many very successful people that followed in his footsteps. But if you look back at some of the dealing he did, it's amazing it could be the same person. Honestly it's kind of amazing no one tried to kill him.
@Gambeir Bay gulper?
Mercury was phased out of vaccines many years ago, these days they generally use a type of aluminium oxide to get a sufficient immune response for the vaccines to work.
The cool thing is that he's just nerding over the science of things. He loves to learn about how things work and how to apply that knowledge to solve a problem
Great interview. The interviewer actually let Bill speak as drhoads08 mentioned 😊. We need more interviews where intellectuals/forerunners actually get to give a great lecture as this one.
Bill Gates: We need to lower energy emissions.
Elon Musk: We just built a Dyson Sphere.
I like the way Bill walks...sounds funny, right? But he walks with a sense of purpose and urgency. That's what I saw. Admiring his company and his work now. I think we lived in Albuquerque about the same time in 1977. Then I moved back to LA for awhile. Moving to Seattle later, when Starbucks was just a coffee and spice grinding store and Seattle was just warming up to MS DOS on the other side of Lake Washington at the time. Best part...Hydro racing on Lake Washington during the annual "Seafair" celebration...oh that and Ivar's clam chowder next to the ferry docks near downtown. So to hear him speak now is very special because we're the same age, literally. I discovered computing at USC during my freshman year and we got time on a mainframe system playing "Star Wars" with grid paper and mapping coordinates together all night. Fun times...so almost learned something in college after all...LOL Great interview where someone mentioned, he wasn't interrupted. Coders think in a very special sort of way about everything. Now I'm into Python and PEN testing in my older years, for the love of learning. Life is a journey, and I'm glad he and Paul Allen took on the Altair back in the days of "not dropping out of college" , yet some of us did and made it OK. Bill a slight bit better, of course, a whole lot as a matter of fact. But videos show his true character and drive with Microsoft. Now a Trillion Dollar Corporation...Why knew...them and Starbucks of course. Twists and turns of life make it interesting. Bill Gates changed the world forever and I do like Windows 10 now...not a first, though. Vista was bloatware but I still have one system running it, another with XP though both are going bye, bye. Sort of...Linux is my playground now, however. I think many of us find open source more free now. MS purchased Github recently so things just keep moving along. I even worked for awhile for Xerox, the company that he and Steve Jobs scoped out the Alto window based OS and hardware at PARC. Six degrees must be a real thing. I saw the Apple I in wood on the cover of those Byte mags I got at a stand in Hollywood too. Wanted a Timex Sinclair so bad I could taste it...the revolution didn't start without me, at least. Still Game...after all these decades, because it's interesting and a challenge as well. Keeps you from getting old before your time, tech.
@Barry Manilowa Thanks, appreciate your comment. I write not for likes anyway. So you read it?...interesting comment however. Free world...I just write as catharsis, and to read such wonderful comments. Sorry to bore you. Maybe the next vid, you'll like someone else's comments, IDK You're funny....nice screen name BTW. All sorts here on the internet....the parts I love the best. Take care....
Sounds like awesome & interesting experiences.
Its interesting that this dude know much about india than an indian journalist or indian politicians
@Deborah Joy Longstaff he has sterilized and killed enough people in India in Africa with his medical experiments. I grew up with Windows computers from literally childhood, I had them all the way back in 1990, consistently throughout my life up until the mid-2000s when I no longer have a computer and just use my phone, you couldn't be on the thing for two hours without some type of system failure, hang up, virus, malware oh, something always would go wrong. Across many different computers and many different versions.
So we're going to let him try to worry about human viruses that actually have consequences on our bodies and not just bring up a blue screen?
This is a literal fact: Kanye West has just as much Medical qualifications and education as Bill Gates.
At this level in the game when you have all the money you could never spend, this isn't about money. Although he has greatly increased his income oh, there's something far more Sinister I can see behind his motives. His dad was part of Planned Parenthood, which is a Eugenics operation. Essentially controlling what people with what DNA have the right to live or breed with each other.
James Corbett has the best documentary, 4 hours long on this douchebag.
If you let this man who didn't make a good operating system convince you to put a mysterious new chemical into your body to fight something that has never been done before and pretty much completely untested oh, you're a freaking idiot. Just go ahead and remove yourself from the gene pool then please.

How big is the ego of that piece of shit interviewer and how small is his penis...
if he comes to interview freaking Bill Gates with a ring on each finger of his hands.
Jesus, people are really mentally ill.
@@pianosenzanima1 Yeah, the rings do seem to indicate some sort of insecurity. I'll bet Bill was jealous.
@@pianosenzanima1 Thinking exactly the same. He comes across as a pompous know it all. Not a good look when you're sat next to one of the most influential/intellectual person on the planet.
The interviewer looks and has the air of a hotel mentalist magician.
Incorrect but nice try
If gates is a joke
Imagine what a laughing stock we / you / me are
We've done nothing compared to him that's not hero worship but fact
"it is bothering me that some people aren't optimistic"
Not everyone is that rich to stay optimistic all the time.
This statement is pessimistic! Lol
Veny Charnita the glass is half full or half empty depending on how thirsty you are.

Life is a lottery, fair enough to bill he earned his money, but most of us just get by.
Try spreading the word as much as possible, you guys are amazing
Imagine having a dad like this. His approach to solving problems is amazing.
Dr evil and his needle...
Useful insights! Thank you.
Wow are those technology rings? 6:02
the interviewer seems angry but he actually doesn't interrupt and seems to listen closely, so that's great this was interesting
Probably because he could not ask what he wanted just follow the script
Nothing is built to last.
Then again, it's deliberate.
That's my experience.
😊 Bill Gates has something to do every minute of the day. Interviewer says thanks and he's already getting up to leave, no holding for video fade or anything. They probably had to ask him to do the final handshake in the hallway. He does it and darts off somewhere he's got to be.
Crooks have to keep moving so they dont get caught. It is my understanding that he's wanted in to other countries.
@@markr.2781 When are you considering meeting your psychiatrist ?
@@akankshshetty7710 Of all the replies I've got on various channels, congratulations. Yours is the most stupid and pulled out your ass (where your head is) I have ever got. I've got to feel sorry for you, since that is the best you can come up with. Look up the word 'punk' than relate that to yourself. Than go to sleep, its past your bedtime.
@@akankshshetty7710 Well, how about that a Troll that won't answer back. Guess he can't do any better than a stupid reply.
That vaporwave background music lmao
officially,that first question is the longest question in history.
Is that microtonal music in the intro and outro?

Not all billionaires are good people, but Bill Gates definitely has done a lot of good with his innovation.
amazing interview
You should read "The Accidental Superpower","The Absent Superpower" and "Disunited Nations" by Peter Zeihan.
Local sanitation processing? Or decentralized.
I wish humanity would stop fighting each other and instead of funding wars invest it in all forms of technology.
Pichkalu Pappita exactly true.
When technology invaded privacy and gets people sick and many die technology is wrong
What actually bill is talking about how we can make best from waste
Thorium is future tech within our grasp right now, I recall Bill being interested in that too.
yes but nuclear energy is still more than good enough until we find a way to use thorium

Thank you for sharing it! Interesting ’’ !
This is one of Bill Gates' best interviews. IMO he comes off well here...
not even close.
Thanks a milli! I realized in this video, that Bill talk about economics a lot!
As a technologist, what books can I get started with to understand more the subject? I’m looking for a material that will break down economics to someone who wants to commercialize research in tech.
Take a macroeconomics class. Or, read this: openstax.org/details/books/principles-macroeconomics-2e.
MIT Opencourseware has some great courses on Economics
Wow the hand shots make this whole interview.
A highly insightful interview with one of the greatest personalities of our generation. I have thoroughly enjoyed the interview and learned a lot. Thanks a lot for sharing.
I was thinking Bill should be President. On the other hand, he's smart. He knows he's probably able to do more good doing what he's doing now.
That'd be a waste of his time.
ate you a total fucking idiot ? ....yes
Can someone list the 10 summary picks? I found the interview is little bit less structured. Thanks!!
glad you got a close up of those rings...
This interviewer needs WAY more rings on his fingers....
And one through his nose...

You are part of the problem one best would call “America”, in other words, a population which is fascinated with how things look rather than what’s in a person’s heart. At least your approach is in the dubious company of about 300 million other shallow-minded Americans.
Bill Gates never answered the original question of the interview. The question was what breakthrough technology will be emerging in the future. BG focused mainly on what technology is emerging to help poor countries. While interesting it didn’t answer the question.
Its what hes working on
@Aristos Athens - fanboy here 😂
@Aristos Athens you can’t be serious!!!! The man that wants to depopulate the world 🌎 you say he’s trying to make it a better place?!? You’re an idiot he wants to kill us all!
Vaccines on top of vaccines with some more vaccines on the side.
Clivus Multrum type toilets could be very cheap solutions for rural peoples of the world. They could fit in modern houses, but fitted with electronic sensors for temperature, pH etc. and serviced by private companies for way cheaper than the cost of processing each household's waste water.
I assume the toilets will be available in a per-user licensing model as well as per-seat?
Toilets 365, six different plans.
Love hearing Bill talk - one of the genius's of our time. I have had the chance to hear him speak at several conferences he is always interesting and so well versed on SO many topics. Thanks Mr. Gates and MIT technology review.
I live in Scotland and as a "lone inventor" I do not qualify for any help or support at all. All assistance is aimed at big business. I do not even qualify for the Bill Gates Foundation help as a "lone inventor". I have four designs that generate electricity with zero carbon emissions and no one is even interested! I am totally bewildered by the lack of basic curiosity. It is actually possible to store energy as light. The difficulty was getting the energy back out ,but forty years after I thought out how to store it I now know how to release it too. But nobody is interested. Unbelievable!
@@WestBendNews That was my experience in 2009 when I was offered £500,000 in a grant from the government if I could get a university on board. They were all to busy with ongoing research so it wa a total lottery! I don't think they are really serious or they would stop weapon testing and put our time and cash into useful items like carbon free electrical generators. I will continue to try. Thanks for your interest.

Fancy lad magic rings. Collect them all!
You don't want to get punched by that interviewer
Great video, but lacks visuals, what the heck y'all do at MIT?
Thank you for mentioning Indonesia, Bill.
How many weird rings does one dude need?
Thank you all for this presentation. I noticed Bill using data from the book "Factfulness" by Hans Rosling.
Perhaps Bill helped writing that book? IMO Bill is not too optimistic just a "Possibilitist". Smile.
Nuclear power he said. Finally an intelligent approach to solve energy problem without biases.
Even thou ive never been a big fan of Microsoft, I'm glad to see that bill has moved on to some really important areas. Now if we could just get out of all the bureaucracy that we have here in the usa we could move forward.
1) lab grown meat 2) AI or virtual assistants 3) re-invented toilet 4)...
Right. It is all interesting but the innovations to watch dried up after the re-invented toilet. What about autonomous vehicles, electric vehicles, 5G, global satellite internet services such as Starlink, crypto changing the nature of exchanging and storing value, personalised medicine based on each person's genome and biome, ...
@@joythought woah woah, slow down. That would prolong lifespans in the first world and do little for developing nations. We need to uplift more working bees before we can extend lifespans. Granted, Starlink would uplift the developing nations.... I don't think that's his true purpose. At least not for the most altruistic of reasons. Just something, I can't put my finger on.... even if I could, I think it best to just know better than to get sweup up by the hooplah.
As for crypto currencies, my guess is that he knows better than to speak on it... for a variety of good and bad reasons. For one however, one I can accept... if B/G were to endorse a crypto currency, well.... a lot of people would act and listen. As long as he has assets denominated in dollars, he wont want those to lose value.

Good interviewer
compost toilets?
Thanks Ringo!
Great interview. Good job. I hope TerraPower and new safer ways of producing nuclear energy come in the near future.
The interviewer has a sort of TV movie European bad guy look and sound.
Nuclear Thorium Salt Reactors! 👍
heyyy
India and China are on it. If they really are technically feasible China will work it out, mass produce them and own the global market. And it will provide an outlet for China's thorium stockpile, undoubtably huge given how rich China is in rare-earths.
@kkthxk I prefer MSRs to fusion but fusion is cool
ITER.... Fusion!
@kkthxk liquid fluorine thorium reactors are already known to work because one has already been made, it was also very well documented. The only reason we don't already have them is because the USA wanted to make more nukes and thorium reactors don't produce any weaponable material. The original thorium reactor worked, but it was only a test plant and was intended to work out the bugs rather than be a commercial unit. They had a list of things they would need to improve in order to create full scale power plants for widespread use, but also made it clear they didn't think any of the issues would be too difficult to solve with the technology of the time(1960's). Thing is that we have already solved most of the problems they had without even trying (they were needed for other industries).
China has built or us building thorium test reactors to try to get it to work and if successful it could easily change the energy production world wide, it's also probably not costing them much in relative terms as thorium reactors are really quite simple.
Now fussion in the other hand is freeking expensive and is being worked on by an intergovernmental group, but it's looking more and more likely that some private companies may beat them to developing an effective fussion power plant. The intergovernmental group is going big with a plant they know should work but is tremendously expensive, the private groups are instead going smart with projects that are cheap in comparison (often still over $100million, but cheap by fussion standards).
Bill, in the process of sweage, there is 2 products.
(a)- water to be cleaned and recycled for human consumption.
(b)- solids for methane gas production, the best fertilizer for crops. It is a win and win situation.
Antonio
solid waste from human is forbidden because the government is too worried about the effects it will have on crop production.
thank you Gabriel
Take a shot every time they cut to Bill's hand...
Forget the rings. This camera guy can't hold the camera still.
😂 i was already out with the interviewer. Seemed like bill gates was talking to his nephew about the cool things hes doing.
Lol
Short but Fascinating discussion!
Bill chose this list and no mention of ID2020?! 🤔
Bill Gates doesn't get enough credit for all that he is doing for the world. Glad that one of the richest in the world is so noble and working to solve the world's problem's.
Yep. Millennial SJWs just see him as another greedy billionaire when in fact he has given away 30+ billion in charity endeavors.
@@aweebunny He's only the second-richest person in the world now, because he recently gave $70 billion to the Foundation (on top of the scores of billions earlier donated).
I love how they guy needs rings to look cool but bill so rich he dosn't care
When ur rich, everything is free.
It's an aesthetic decision dude.... If you were serious, you need to consider why rings on a persons fingers means something to you
Twitch.
Why do so many tards like you think the way people dress is related to their financial status. I bet you Bill never gave a fuck about dressing even before he became successful because some people aren't into fashion while some are, that's why there are billionaires who dress well too. Wtf does that got to do with their networth, simpleton.
It's an interesting observation, but an extreme assumption.
His rings might mean something, or maybe he just likes the style. It's been a long time since rings were expensive, a large portion of the cost of jewelry today is artificial. So why is it you think rings are any kind of status symbol and not just a fashion choice? They both are wearing blue dress shirts...
Any difficulties faced, when you find a software Mr...? 😁
Just a wild idea Bill!
What about Hempcreate underground waste removement system . Maybe some kind of sealant could help the longevity of the system. The cost of construction and production would be dramatically lowered and sections could be grown on site.
What do you think Bill?
I wish you all luck!!!
so awesome he thinks USA is spoiled from their own success as a country

Bill is one of the single most important people to ever live yet so humble. Love hearing him speak.
We are blessed to have bill and Melinda as a part of our world 🌎. Logic and philanthropy make the world a better place. Thanks for all y’all do ❤️
Truth is over a trillion dollars been pledged by the rich but there is no specific timeline to spend it. Some say this is 5% charity & 95% cover up for their wealth because there was an opinion building up around - why some have to be so rich whereas 70% of the world struggle to see their both ends meet. To build a good future for the world, the money needs to spend now, in the right areas!! In general, I still believe any act of philanthropy no matter big/small is a huge help to the world but it would be great if they don't mix together for the overall benefit of business!
PB1 PB she is trying to be positive and you come out of nowhere with your paranoia
Absolutely!
No one... not a single soul on earth needs a billion dollars in personal wealth. Who elected Gates to dispose of all that Microsoft dough? We are talking over 90 billion just with Gates alone. It's time to start drawing lines for the wealthy. I vote for $1 billion.
@kkthxk Because money is power and history is replete with examples of its abuse. If you're not at least suspicious of concentrated power then something must be wrong with your perception of history. An Oligarchy, I'm sure, would pass laws to sustain its position. They might hire think tanks to formulate arguments to show why their way is the best and the natural order of things. So economists are the high priests of our perfect system? Now how did that happen? Well, flattery has always been an easier road to success than showing real talent.
He talks about the financial and environmental cost of cement and steel for fast growing populations but there are good alternatives to them being developed for many uses, some of which are both cost efficient and carbon neutral or even negative.
Thank you from 'H2 Innovation Lab' H2IL - technology for a green sustainable hydrogen future.
I hear that Blank Banshee - Holograffiti. Good choice
I agree,, Nuclear is 100% the way to zero emissions. We could build smaller power plants like the ones that run nuclear carriers and submarines. Build them assembly line style and get the costs down.
Not just the costs but the safety factor. The guys that invented our nuclear reactors made it clear from the start that the small reactors could be made safe, but the large reactors needed a lot of safety factors built in.
We can of course make large safe reactors now, but there are so many good reasons to build lots of small plug and play type reactors instead. Quick to build, can be recycled, can be installed where and when needed, little chance of cost overruns as they would be built on mass.
thanks for all linux torbalds
Awesome interview
Watching this interview gives me hope for humanity, reading the comment section severely reduces it again.
Yes -- I feel this way about comments pretty much everywhere on the internet, whether it's on social media, forums or review sites etc. Generally these are cesspools for negativity and magnets for the miserable. The biggest irony is that it's usually people using technology (computers and the internet) to complain about the technologizing world. We're all better off not reading them and giving them any oxygen.
It is weird how many of my favorite things are in this video. Bill Gates, MIT, Blank Banshee, Molten Salt Reactors, and futurism in general. This is too much for me lol
Here are some videos to temper your excitement:

ruclips.net/video/bb1zOI6ZGCU/видео.html
@@Jenterke The first video is a valid opinion, but it doesn't change the fact that the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation is the most effective non profit to have ever exist.
The second video, Bill Gates is in favor of raising the capital gains tax, inheritance tax, income tax, and creating a tax on automation and possibly a wealth tax.
The third video is exactly why I love Bill Gates. Only advanced nuclear power can both mitigate climate change and provide the energy abundance for us to adapt to the unavoidable effects of climate change.
Anyone notice those 2 black dots on the back of his left hand? camera made sure we saw that. lol
Bill Gates is such an amazingly rational man, his optimism and charisma really bring a smile to see. In contrast, am I the only one that thought the interviewer was not very found of Gates? lol
Living legend; should be President
That would be good. Yes. But I don't think he would like that position. Can't imagine him wanting to think in terms of adverserial strategies like war.
Why would he take that step down into the gutter? Met the guy, liked his wit, don’t think he has any illusions on what politics are...
Being president would make him far less product a human being. Being president is akin to being cursed.
I do think he would make a good president, he could certainly fix a lot of the mess, but yeah he has at least as much power in his current position and he doesn't have his hands tied by politics so l couldn't see him wanting to do it.
I agree with the others. When was the last President with a good all-round understanding? Near-rookie, maybe learning on the job, seems to be the SOP.
Bill can do a lot more good without taking a downgrade.
A lot of times I watch technology interviews and at the end I wonder "What was going on with their hands the whole time they were talking?"
But not THIS time. Not THIS time dammit
:) Love them close ups.
