I’m not going to insult you- But I am going to call you plain wrong.

I’ll lol at them too.

I don’t really care about this. But Android got that function in summer 2013. 3 years after the iPhone had it (and embarrassingly, after Windows phones).

They’re lolling at you, boss. They’ve been able to “google their phone” for like 4 years now.

That's good to hear. "Handyman" is skilled labor- I hope it doesn't fall victim to the same downward wage pressure as every other class of service worker.

I think the coordination is the least of the challenges in this hypothetical.

Eric- Stop paying rent. The super will fix it next-day.

Great. Is the base wage similar to the Mechanical Turks'?

Exactly right- the combination of a 1/96 shutter and 24fps just happens to recreate the feeling in a person's mind of being intensely focused under a stressful situation.

They shouldn't let James Cameron direct his own scripts. :(

Right- High shutter speed works in a 24fps Spielbergian beach-landing where things feel tense and focused- but not in the Hobbit, where you can see pores on the actors' faces.

ehhhh this is simplistic and ignores the potential to push it into other products.

I'd also say that the Hobbit in 48fps didn't look "too real." It looked faker than in 24fps.

Well- if you even want to talk about The Hobbit movies...

The thing is- Youtube's biggest traffic is POV videos of girls whispering into a microphone while doing tours of their bedrooms. I don't know if google really knows what it's in the business of broadcasting.

Completely nail-on-the-head.

It's not just soap operas- It's also all of the content that came out of the first wave of DV cameras. If the budget was too low to shoot it on film, it was shot on DV- and therefore in 30fps. That's probably the beginning of the stink that high framerates carry.

Uncanny Valley, maybe?

I wish that instead of focusing money on delivering 4k video to screens that don't exist, in framerates that are less pleasing to most people- that google would instead focus on expanding the consumer's options- They're a huge media player and could actually move some goal posts with the cable companies.

Does anyone actually like how video looks at a higher framerate than 24p?
