I don't see it succeeding unless they get Riot Games to exclusively stream on YouTube. That amount of views League of Legends brings to Twitch is crazy.
Amazon doesn't have YouTube's experience, and is somewhat short-sighted when it comes to catering to content creators. Maybe Twitch employees could help.
Haven't been following LCS for 2 years or so, but they used to stream it on multiple platforms at the same time.
I don't think Google can pay RIOT enough to go exclusive, especially since they need to be able to stream and get revenue from multiple regions, especially China.
As a YouTuber for six years I can't tell you how depressing its been to watch this shit happen.
I remember attending my first VidCon, I was 18 and just graduated on high school and my first YouTube channel basically got fucked due to the fact my Adsense getting disabled (RIGHT BEFORE MY FIRST PAYCHECK WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SENT).
When I went to talk to the YouTube staff attending the event they informed me that it was out of their hands and that there was nothing they could do which is bullshit considering the exact same thing happened to a bigger YouTuber and it was fixed within a day.
YouTube sees their big channels as the example to follow - if it works for them, it must work for everyone. They gave out the Playbooks at the last VidCon in physical form and re-reading them just make sick because its not about making great content, its about how to make the most money.
They encourage you to try to hook your audience in the first 15 seconds, use all caps in your video titles BECAUSE THIS GRABS THE AUDIENCE'S ATTENTION BY THE BALLS APPARENTLY, they want you to remember to make sure you remind them to always like comment and subscribe, and try to encourage discussion by posing questions to your audience.
I understand they want content creators making money but the least they could do is actually help us rather than just pat us on the back and lie to us "Yea, these changes are gonna help grow your channel" is what we hear every time there's a new YouTube layout implemented. My first VidCon was when they announced Cosmic Panda, with every update we get less and less. I think with Google+ we were all just kind of fed up with taking the crap Google fed us and actually got mad about it.
Everyone saw this as YouTubers being angsty and hostile for no reason when in reality friends of mine who make their livings off their YouTube were seeing their views drop at least 30% minimum. Some of my friends saw 50-60% drop in views which caused some of them to rethink what they were gonna do, a few quit because they just couldn't pay the bills anymore.
YouTube needs to understand that they're not just messing with a users experience but they're also messing with people's livelihoods. They don't seem to get that, they never have.
This is something I've actually wanted for awhile! Watching movies and TV is nice but whenever I watch it with an IRC chat it suddenly gets SO MUCH better.
indeed, as this document indicates :
"DUE TO THE DEPTH OF THE EARTHQUAKE NO TSUNAMI IS EXPECTED."
The Depth of the subterranean earthquake is generally a major factor in Tsunami (The main factor being the displacement of the water mass above).
The last two M9~ magnitude earthquakes causing deadly tsunamis (Indian Ocean 2004, Japan 2011) were only at a Depth of 30km (19mi). This one is very deep, at 619km (385mi) below the surface.
It's not a backup because it will happily propagate data corruption through making all drives worthless. The only backup-like protection is provides is for sudden drive failure.
Can you further explain why raid/replication isn't a backup? Sure, you can't backup beyond what you've replicated (locally or across a network), but for most folks, that should be fine.
Trolling, I assume? Just in case not: your own oh-shit moments (forgot that WHERE clause?), coding errors and oversights, bad luck, adversary SQL injection because the contractor who wrote some obscure admin page two years ago didn't know what he was doing, customer screw-ups (your web app customer fat-fingers their own critical data out of existence and begs you to roll them back to yesterday), etc.
If you have a real business you need a multi-generational backup scheme of some kind.
RAID and replication are good for protecting against hardware failure, but hardware failure actually accounts for only a handful of the reasons you want a backup. RAID, replication, and backups are all solutions to problems. Once you look at the problems instead of the solutions, your answer becomes clear.
Often, the need for a backup arises from the need to go "back in time". RAID and replication offer no solution for this. Ok, so depending upon your replication setup, it may offer some help, but the steps required to go back in time usually involve starting from a recent backup, and using files involved in the replication to "replay" recent changes to get you back to the moment in the past you wish to return to.
You're kidding right? RAID is only good for dealing with HW failures, there are many more kinds of SW failure that can screw you and leave you with nothing, while having a perfectly good raid. Replication isn't a backup because if you screw up your dataset, well that screwup just got replicated.
indeed, may don't realise that, and a mistake/error replicated is still a mistake/error.
Still least I hope they didn't have transaction logging onto the same discs, seen that in horror because somebody had large raid array and did not think they needed the expense of another.
