Sometimes one or the other has a recent updates that causes problems, or a random movie won't play right. It's rare, but since both connect to the same NAS where all of my media is stored, running both is pretty easy and it's nice to have a backup.
How is that practically different from a user perspective than answers on SO? Either way, I still have to try the suggested solutions to see if they work in my particular situation.
I work for a marketing agency which has a mix of typical office roles (accounting, HR, sales) and industry specific positions (mostly creatives and developers). The former are normally used to Windows from previous jobs or school, and the exact opposite is true of the creative departments. So, choosing which platform each new hire prefers is standard for us (and has been for more than a decade).
Only the nerds in Silicon Valley could come up with a technical solution to such massive problems as income inequality. How can supposedly intelligent people spend more than 1 second thinking that makes any sense?
What's next, are we going to make an app to answer vexing questions like "why does evil exist"?!
The number of people in this post that don't understand the difference between a private company's HR/PR decisions and the actual legal system is shocking.
Do you sit in the writer's room? What information do you have that contradicts what actual writers and actors on the show have said about Roiland's (lack of) involvement in later seasons?
Game of Thrones took tons of ideas from real human cultures and it wasn't very subtle, but that world still seems much more alive and real to me than what I see in the WoT television series. (I have only read parts of the first book in this series and I know the fans adore the world building, so I assume this failure is on the show and not the source material.)
I bet they would be well supported if they opened up donations (if that hasn't already happened). From what I have gathered, the community funds that WAG and other unions manage have been incredibly well supported so far.
So, yes, the blockchain doesn’t make files smaller, but it could work to verify their authenticity, and that they have not been tampered with.
As with every other suggested use of blockchain, there are already better ways to verify contents. It's called hashing, it's been around for decades, and we do it all the time.
So instead of videos being hosted on 1 server, videos could be downloaded and made available by anyone to anyone at any time.
This is going to run into all kinds of bottlenecks. Individual users may have a fast enough Internet connection to stream HD video, but uploading is often much slower. Even if not, one user could only co-host maybe 1-2 other users. Also, ISPs sure aren't going to like all the increased bandwidth!
People always vastly underestimate the bandwidth requirements for smooth, streaming video.
Yeah, it's the old story of the immortal who refused to cross the street. The kind of risks that someone expecting to die by 80 would take are much different than risk assessment of someone expecting to live--comfortably, with their mind and body intact--to at least 160.
