If they don’t have a regular bus system that works then that’s what they need to start working on first. I’m convinced that it can be made to work if they are solution oriented instead of only looking for reasons why it won’t work and stopping there.
Where I live, buses have dynamic routes. You go on an app to book a journey, then you get a time and place to be where the bus will pick you up (plus a drop-off point). It works for school kids as well as anyone else.
That was my initial thought too. But if Vader can stay at a distance and force-choke Wolverine until he’s passed out, then Vader could move in after it’s safe and basically burn up every ounce of Wolverine’s body except for the adamantium using the light saber.
Yeah as a programmer it seems that everyone around me underestimate by several magnitudes the amount of money and effort that goes into something like the Netflix infrastructure. It’s extremely frustrating because people always look at you with distrust when you say how much work it will take to develop a website. As a rule of thumb, the site’s apparent simplicity (for the end user) is correlated with the effort you put in.
That said, Netflix already had its infrastructure in place back when they had reasonable pricing. The recent greediness doesn’t reflect their costs suddenly going up, it’s just exponentially growing demand for profit and investors who want to cash in.
This may be a stupid question, but I just got back into pirating some shows and movies and realize that many of the QxR files are much smaller than what I downloaded in the past. Is it likely that I am sacrificing a noticeable amount of quality if I replace my files with the smaller QxR ones?...
That makes no sense. The bitrate is how many actual bits per second the data uses after compression, so at the same bitrate all codecs would be the same size.
I’m not saying it is the size of the file, I’m saying the bitrate multiplied by the number of seconds determines the size in bits of the file. So for a given video duration and a given bitrate, the total size (modulo headers, container format overhead etc) is the same regardless of compression method. Some codecs can achieve better perceived quality for the same number of bits per second. See. e.g. veed.netlify.app/learn/bitrate#TOC1 or toolstud.io/video/bitrate.php
If it’s compressed to 6,000 kilobits per second then ten seconds of video will be 60,000 kilobits or 7 megabytes, regardless if it’s compressed with h.264, h.265 or AV1.
As I’ve said elsewhere, raw bitrate means exactly the same between them, because the bitrate is the number of bits per second of video after compression. What you mean is that you set a target bitrate and the different codecs have varying success in meeting that target. You can use two-pass encoding to improve the codec’s accuracy.
But what matters is the average bitrate required by each codec to achieve the desired level of video quality, as perceived by you. The lower bitrate you need for the quality you want, the better the codec is.
I see a potential here for the long-winded reaction scenes from Indian soap operas. At least then the viewer clearly understands that it’s not meant to be real time.

Are movie and show file sizes more efficient than they were years ago?
