      @thoubias 4 роки тому +12

      @@xaifer2485 This video kind of explains it. Some 420p video in UA-cam probably does not come even close to the importance of availability of the netflix shows. Also, the market estimate / the potential viewership probably is both lesser known and lesser in total, so the effort of distributing it everywhere may be much less worth it and thus not done.
      If you would be watching it a few times every day for a while, I would almost bet that at some point the buffering time could get a noticeable reduction.
      Full copy of youtube cannot be on every ISP connection point, unlike full netflix in theory could, but the content that gets regularly visited from the area most likely will get a copy onto a local fast access point.

      @Locutus 7 років тому +5

      I wouldn't say influence, but money does talk.
      By placing these CDNs into the ISP's network, the ISP doesn't have to spend lots of money on bandwidth, and Netflix doesn't have to spend lots of money on bandwidth either.
      If you were an ISP, and a company that drains so much of your bandwidth says "Hey, let me install these boxes in your data centres, and it will save you loads of money, if you don't, you will pay ever increasing bills for your data, and because of NN, you can't do anything about it". What would you say? You would say "YES PLEASE! How does tomorrow sound?"
      So while it's not Netflix strongarming them, or saying "or else", it's the ISPs saying that they can save money. :)

      @kyle the dued Yeah but new phones don't really have home buttons. The iPhone 8 is a good option still, as in it's not obsolete, but new phones don't have home buttons, so buyers looking for new phones won't really buy ones with home buttons. In 5 or 10 years most to all people will likely have phones with notches, hole punch displays, motor cameras, or something else.

    What I’ve learned from this is that easier access isn’t always the best. It weirdly enough feels more like you've earned it and therefore more satisfying, if you have to do more than just click a few times on your screen.

      The Earth is really big so they will still suffer from high latency, but I also noticed that in his example he drew a line from California to Japan the far way. Since maps aren't supposed to be round, only globes, he wasn't thinking about the shorter way of 8,331.57389 kilometers by putting the ends of the map together and making a line the other way, but maps don't do that since maps are flat and needs to end somewhere. If you were to draw a line from one point of a globe to the opposite point of the globe that crosses the globe's center and since the connection cannot travel through the core, it'll have to travel around the surface, at a distance of about 20,035 kilometers.

    I’m younger and didn’t have much time with Blockbuster, but what memories of the popcorn-smelling place (and the anticipation of the joy the movie would bring) I have are very fond.

    Latency over a high speed connection is not an issue for streaming video. It is just for online videogames or similar applications.

      Yes it is, there is only so much TCP throughput over long distance.

    • @erlendpowell7446
      @erlendpowell7446 6 років тому

      Latency itself isn't strictly the issue though, so I consider the example a bad one. I.e. You can have a network with terrible latency and still watch high definition video.

    1:50 That's not how worldly distances actually works, the connection you show is about 22.000km long.
    However going the other way around the globe, the distance is around 8.500km or 9.500km if you go over land (Canada) for a large part.
    Just had to put this out there.

    selling stuff to your competitors means you win either way... your own service starts to tank but your competitor takes off, you still have a business. Its a great way to hedge your bet. You may not get AS MUCH money if your competitor takes off but at some points, survival is more important than being the best.

    Did you guys know: In 2000, Blockbuster declined an offer to buy Netflix for $50 000 000. They were going to handle the online portions of Blockbuster and change their name to Blockbuster.com, while Blockbuster handled their physical stores. Big mistake on Blockbusters part, huh?
