There is already something like this via the Wayback Machine (who indeed do copies of video media but more typically VHS and other things) and things like the Russian Library genesis, which is kept in torrent format.
The problem really is that storage for video media is insane compared to storage of document or even photo data.
If people here haven’t read into it, it’s incredibly interesting to look into the way the Internet Archive works. In particular you have to begin to concern yourselves with how long it takes for HDs, SSDs, and other media to degrade in time.
Excellent response.
Another thing is that it’s appropriate where the learner doesn’t understand the full context of the teacher. For example, a parent who tells their kid not to lie, but then has to lie for some given reason. There are plenty of other examples in parenting where parents do not want children to make the same mistakes.
Anyways, that being said, I’d say one of the issues with teaching is that when you’re older and in a position to teach or parent, you rarely have the energy or skill to do it yourself. A parent who wants their children to learn an instrument but doesn’t have the time, skill, or ability to learn it themselves….
Hmm to be fair with YouTube you don’t think this is now a repository of incredibly valuable resources? If YouTube went down and we lost all videos, we would be losing many important resources, from historical documentaries no longer easily found in media, to guides on woodworking.
It’s a bit scary. Once you remove the crap, it’s an incredibly valuable library resource and time capsule.
I just noticed this.
As others have mentioned the stars have been largely useless in the last little while so to be honest I’m not sure this has any impact. Even sites that try and give a rating based on fake reviews are not helpful because so many reviews are faked. The only helpful part is to try and read negative reviews.
I imagine this star fiasco is something that’s easy for browser plugins to reverse.
I would love to see AI and Machine Learning used to filter out fake reviews. This would actually be useful.
"As a Catholic community, we acknowledge the gravity of this situation and offer our on-going support to those impacted,
What does being a Catholic community have anything to do with this?
Maybe in an idiot but is that really precision joinery? It looks like simple butt joints..?
Don’t get me wrong I think it’s pretty. But precision joinery I associate with more complicated joints.
Nope! Enjoyed it, though perhaps not as much as the second. ME1 reminded me a bit of Knights of the Old Republic (and Jade Empire around the same era), which had slightly stilted dialogue and choices. It was good but it still felt cartoonish.
Apart from Jacob, who seems like a caricature, the characters and acting from ME2 seem so much more real.
I can tell by your writing that you’re a rational person and you’ve obviously thought about things. But…I’m not sure we’re arguing about the same thing.
The point is that you would previously be able to buy a new car for say $20k or a used one for $5k. The used one might drive nearly as well as the new one, if properly maintained. So you were “saving” $15k.
The idea that brand new items can lose value to their “steady-state” value (imagine a graph that sharply descends in the first year) isn’t an absurd one.
That said, I understand that some people might value that “new feeling” and want to pay that $15k difference. Or might value their time and troubles in potentially dealing with the issues of a used car.
Of course, people are raising the issue that the market might have changed recently. I don’t really follow the pricing of new cars. I remember a few years ago hearing that the car industry was in trouble because essentially cars were lasting longer and longer and so they were unable to keep on selling the new models to suckers.
