Technical producer for ad-supported Twitter Live streams for the first couple years (NFL, PGA, etc). Favorite show was KBS Music Bank. All opinions are my own
@andrewhessel This picture is exactly what’s wrong with your thesis. Above ground you can watch a fire from a distance with 0% morbidity. Below ground there is not a similar scale of distance, and oxygen is at a premium, which fire consumes. That image would be an extinction event underground.
@andrewhessel@hughiechops The cost of massively redundant and compartmentalized HVAC alone will make this economically unviable. The statement “Air handling systems will detect and filter pathogens” really should read “As soon as an HVAC system fails, underground dwellers will be wiped out by the methane”
@seeMOUSErun I think when I ran the team it was like the exact same bartender from the original Studio 54 stayed on, from 1977 to today, and he just really wanted to serve delicious drinks to customers, but the customers all moved on to TikTok. And then a crazy person bought the bar.
@chander Live is actually pretty hard to pull off. The circuit from the camera at the show (all the way across the country) to your ingest point has to be flawless. No dodgy wifi at the venue, no dodgy “partner” ingesting “in the cloud”. You need a real, actual, end to end fiber circuit.
@karaswisher The site is already breaking. It started this morning. Your timeline gathers data from a variety of sources, using a construct called a “future”. I am seeing profile pages not fully load, view counts on videos set to 0 and other evidence that the future calls are failing.
@igb@rabois@DavidSacks@elonmusk The last time Twitter had 2,000 employees it was serving a text only timeline in no particular order. Do these people think images and video just magically appeared? I also heard monetized live video was a bit of work also.
