yay!

It’s amazing how you comeback and provide new information on videos that are old! Thank you for your dedication to telling the facts and your commitment to your audience :)

xD

Ouch! :(

Your commitment to updating old videos is fantastic, it's *so* good in fact that a video covering your corrections to past videos would, at this point, be genuinely very interesting to me, particularly if it went into a little depth as to *why* things changed

okay

@@AricBolf How do you delete them?

So true, if someone uses an intro I hope it's exactly 10 seconds long so I can skip it instantly with one key. People say you need an intro to be recognisable but funnily enough the creators I find best (and are also rather successful) don't have one.

@@HalcyonVoid You press thumbs up again, cancelling the original thumbs up. Thumbs down also deletes your "like" but it specifically tells youtube that you did not like the vid, which might affect you recommendations.

@@AricBolf I very rarely like a video on KZfaq. Like I watch KZfaq all day and I like maybe 5 videos a week. Didn't feel any bias towards that content tbh but maybe because it's just so much I watch >.>

that's why we all love him sooo much... :) if all youtubers could learn to skip boooring intro like that, would love them too. it's not much time wasted, it's more that feeling that i'm underestimated when told unnecessary things before interesting things, and reminders.

However it does have a downside. It's like shuffling the wheels on your car. It means they don't bald as quickly, but when you do need to replace them, you need to fork out for 4/5 new tires (depending on if your spare is a proper one or not!). When repair work needs to be done, they'll have to fix things on a much larger scale than before, possibly shutting down huge parts of the dock.

@@andymcl92 replacing large-ish parts of the asphalt is still probably more efficient than having to fix potholes all the time.

I agree. It's just that there is a delicate balancing act between doing repairs less often and making those repairs too big so that they cause large-scale disruptions. (I could probably have worded that better in my initial reply :p ) A stitch in time saves nine, sorta thing...

@@andymcl92 It is much easier to close an entire company once every 10 year for a month than to close a vital part every other day.

Yes! Sometimes I can't believe we haven't automatized everything yet. Robots can do a lot of things consistently with negligeable error.

@@gcewing Every German is aware of the fact that we can't pronounce the "th" sound correctly. But we all don't onow that we can't even do the english "w" :(( I can't do it properly either.

@@bastscho If you live close to the border, it's like you were trying to pronounce the Polish "Ł" if that's any help :P More seriously, it's close to the german "u", but you kind of pull your lips back if that makes any sense?

@@MaskedDeath_ My American Exchange students showed it to me once, but I didn't really try to properly change it. It's a really bad habit. To pronounce the English "W", you basically shape your mouth like you are pronouncing an "O", but then make the "W", but without closing your mouth. Then it works kinda.... I should try to finally fix my english.

@@ryansalle3847 That high up in Auckland in our little islands? There's not that much difference. Can almost always see some ocean in some direction eventually

I think they mean for environmental reasons

@@Soken50 nope, it's a purely environmental constraint. They've repeatedly applied for permits to expand, but haven't been allowed.

Yup, environmental -iirc yachting/sport facilities, stadiums, hotels, cruise ship terminals and port expansions have been turned down in recent years. also NZ's GDP per capita is $43k and Netherland's is $48K -there are very similar, and the Netherland's government (as a % of GDP) has twice the debt that NZ has.

The justification for not letting them expand is "environmental" but what that means is that people think a bigger port would be ugly, it's not because it would threaten wildlife or something.

Oliver it's because they have to apply for a resource consent (as per the Resource Management Act) to build out any further, which would mean consulting the local iwi of Auckland area (Maori), and they would probably decline it for it would impede on their customary right to the foreshore and seabed etc....

Well there's the fact that Australia, and by extension New Zealand, don't exist, according to some flat earthers. Why would you draw something that doesn't exist on a map? 😋

@@blindleader42 I thought flat earthers just believed that science was wrong. What's the point of denying the existence of an entire continent?

@@elvis_mello What's the point of any of their delusions? Not all FEs believe Austrialia doesn't exist. That's just an example of the many answers they pull out of their asses when rational objection is made to their claims. The reason for the Australia thing is probably that some thought denying the existence of the Southern hemisphere saved their "theory" from astronomical objections.

Then what is triangulation?

@@jonavanderpal It's when you look at three points whose positions you know (usually mountains when you're hiking, radio towers when using a device); you calculate the angles between these points from your POV; and you use the angles to calculate your position. Trilateration is based on your distance from the points instead.

@@Olivman7 Thanks for the explanation!

So GPS is not a global positioning system?

@@krashd Yes, in the same way GLONASS, Beidou, and Galileo are all global position systems. The problem is when you use the acronym GPS, which refers specifically to the US Air Force's constellation. This wasn't an issue for many years when it was the only available working constellation, but now as more and more come into the market, both global and local, the collective name GNSS has become commonplace in industry. But of course, you're free to call it whatever you want, I'm not the language police :D

I don't know if you're from New Zealand but by the sounds of it, you aren't. Literally, no one in NZ talks about the Hobbit and we get sick of every foreigner talking about it. It's not even a good movie.

@@putridvomit People do get obsessed with certain things huh. Then again it seems out of proportion. I could point to a dozen different locations in Australia that I've recognised from films, but it gets old if that's all anyone talks about...

Key west is aight, but definatly stop at bahia honda (its a state park two up from big pine) and/or go snorkel a reef while youre there. Its amazing

The whole overseas highway and its history would be a great topic. The electric grid must also be a great work of engineering because it must span so many water channels and still be resistant to Category 5 hurricanes!

Zac I agree with Bahia Honda for snorkeling/scuba, but when making a suggestion to a non-American, I thought mentioning the most well-known key was the way to go.

There's also the Hemingway House and all the 6-toed Hemingway cats. Honestly there's a good amount here in Florida you can make a video about, while making a trip of it.

*CTA (Container Terminal Altenwerder) I have just looked it up on wikipedia. They do have autonomous vehicles. However, from what I have seen in that article, a difference to Auckland might be that they don't have autonomous stacking vehicles. The Altenwerder vehicles don't pick up the container from the ground. They are autonomous lorries that get loaded by a (still human controlled) crane.

working completely with robots is often easier than having robots and people interact though.

@NikolausUndRupprecht CTA has an automated stacking system which uses automatic cranes. Only the cranes that place the containers on the ships are not automated.

Well, they should've contacted Tom Scott. ;-)

@@1Hawk2Hawks you mean the workforce that was aging and not getting replaced because younger people got better educations & built robots to replace those dangerous tedious jobs? Those people?

Why aren't people thinking about those poor fieldhands that used to pick cotton where I live in the United States? Now their children are having to go to school and get other jobs because we took away that opportunity for them by inventing the cotton gin and things like tractors.

@@PostScarcityNOW All well and good but current trends are that jobs are being automated and replaced with... Nothing. Don't get me wrong, we won't run out of jobs any time in the forseeable future. Probably not even in a century or two, but the list of things that have been automated or will be shortly is starting to push against the boundaries of what's possible for humans to do. A list of things that are already automated right now: - Some aspects of manufacturing - Certain tasks in mines - Some trains - semi-automated checkouts in shops. Things that are on the horizon in the near future - nearly all transportation jobs. - many retail jobs - Aged care/care jobs - lower skilled medical jobs - the bulk of computer programming tasks - many additional aspects of manufacturing - Design - Art (arguable given the nature of art, but there's definitely signs it could happen) - music production (see above) - Game development (also see above) - farming - construction - at some elements of the legal profession. - warfare and many others besides. The list of things that replace these jobs really isn't very long, and it's becoming increasingly tenous, because there is very little territory left that ISN'T being encroached upon by AI and Automation. We're some way off from full automation (decades to centuries), but the signs of more jobs being lost than gained definitely seem to be there. Keep in mind that you don't have to lose EVERY job in the world to create a massive global catastrophe for the majority of humans on the planet. Losing as little as 35% of the currently available jobs, could, without massive cultural and societal changes, cause an utter disaster.
