These are all really good answers, but yours really nailed it for me. Such a fascinating development and change in infrastructure. Thank you for such a well thought out and informed reply.

Cable vs streaming tech? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I've never known cable providers of failures to broadcast live TV in its history. MASH (not live) amongst many others had 70-100+ million viewers, many shows had 80%+ of the entire nation viewing something on its network without issue. I've never seen buffering on a Superbowl show.

Why do streaming services suffer compared to cable television when too many people watch at the same time? What's the technical difficulty of a network that has improved over time but can't keep up with numbers from decades ago for live television?

I hate ad based cable television but never had issues with it growing up. Why can't current 'tech' meet the same needs we seemed to have solved long ago?

Just curious about what changed in data transmission that made it more difficult for the majority of people to watch the same thing at the same time.

I love me some bad movies!

Same. The OP article is interesting, but was hoping for more than a few wiki links of past instances. Is there more verifiable evidence for this instance? Don't doubt the claim, just curious.

This also might be the thing the first astronauts warned us about a private space industry. Sure, they can innovate faster and cheaper, but not as safely. There's a 60 minutes interview with musk crying because his astronaut idols didn't see eye to eye with him on privatizing space.

Ah, I didn't go to the HN site, makes sense. Thanks

Any source on this. I don't have an X account and can't even read the comments on the tweet.

Nas’ 'Illmatic' Was the Beginning of the End of the Album in c/[email protected]

Absolutely agree. I'd argue Blazing Arrow by Blackalicious is one of the greatest albums of all time. And that came out in 2002, eight years after Illmatic. Blazing Arrow is such a seamless and well thought out album from start to finish. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blazing_Arrow

Maybe mention and link to the community so the appropriate people can do more than guess at what you even want?

Thanks, I was caught off guard when I read 'super majority'. The US HoR is pretty tight race.

They are but they had to leave their long time original location on 6th to the south side of town.

Sad last second goal kept us from being Copa Texas champs a second year in a row. The red card was surprising. We are still in the bracket to qualify for the tournament but it's a tight race!

Listos Verde!!
