How to Guide: Watch Netflix from Overseas with an Apple TV (Sift Talk Post)

amyacker says...

Can I do that with my Time Capsule? It'll be the router that both my laptop and Apple TV get internet from. I said I have AirVPN on my laptop - what steps would I take to get it running on the router, so it covers the Apple TV as well? I`d follow many guides such as: [url redacted] but it wont work on time capsule yet.

Ken Burns slams Trump in Stanford Commencement

Golden quote:
"In this week of trial and tragedy, Trump showed us how he would govern — by fear, by intimidation, by lies, by turning American against American, by exhibiting all the empathy of a sociopath. Seal this week. Put it in a time capsule. Teach it. History will remember. But come November, will we?"

By the way, I've stayed out of this extremely boring back and forth. There was nothing to be gained by weighing in. It finally has come to a blessed end, just as this op-ed was published in the New York Times.

So I'll say it again, since this video is my contribution to the Sift and I am claiming final word. I may not be accorded it, but I am claiming it.

It is a stone hard fact that eligible does not equal fit. A brain-damaged accident victim with the right birth certificate, with the right age, is eligible to be president. That person is not fit to be president. This is logic. It just is. You can ignore the crystalline beauty of the fact of this analogy and have a fine time talking around it. Doesn't change the fact that Ken Burns is right, Timothy Egan is right, Mitt Romney, both Bushes, Meg Whitman, and the Republican strategist who is quoted in this op-ed are all right.

Trump is unfit for the Presidency.

This is Coffee (1961)

spoco2 says...

Fascinating to see some of the time capsule bits:
* The huge waste of water, using about a sink full just to clean the pot, then leaving the tap running on full while taking cups of water.
* The details, the steps, the lack of automation...


Also, fascinating to see this American focused coffee making instructional. Here in Australia it's FAR more prevalent to have a home espresso machine, which makes a damn good cup of coffee, and a whole lot quicker than these convoluted methods (of course stove top percolating is a lot cheaper, very simple process really).

I sit here watching this while drinking my mid morning Flat White and thinking how different tastes are around the world

UNDERCITY: An Underground Expedition Through New York City

spoco2 says...

This is wonderful stuff. To be sure it's dangerous, and idiots who don't think can indeed get themselves very hurt, but things like that first disused station are amazing places, really beautiful and I love them because they are little time capsules.

Just a word on how he handles getting into places like when he removes the drain cover... just wear a yellow/orange vest and look like you're supposed to be there and you'll have no problem. Wearing 'civilian' clothes and looking around suspiciously is the things that makes people think you're up to no good. It's hiding in plain view, and can work a lot better than trying to not be seen.

But exploration of abandoned places is something I'd love to do, never have... so do so vicariously though a number of sites, http://www.opacity.us and http://www.abandoned-places.com being my two favourite for their superb photography.

Between Time and Timbuktu - Kurt Vonnegut Jr. (1972)

doremifa says...

... this is clearly a medley of Vonnegut's writings (e.g. Cat's Cradle, Welcome to the Monkey House) and is enjoyable as a time capsule of the early 70's as well. Knowing that the written word is stronger for sure, it is still worth the opportunity to watch (especially if you are sick at home ).

VideoSift 3.2 Roundtable thread (Sift Talk Post)

Eklek says...

Change "flag spam" into "flag abuse", meaning spam and adhom/hate speech

The current 10 votes to be posted / 2 days in the queue is not satisfactory.
12 votes may be a solution and put more focus on the quality of videos, but then again I also think it has become harder to find good videos. As there are more videos in the pool, the niche videos need more exposure:
What about having both the new sifted and unsifted (via a clickable tab that opens this list) videos in the individual channels?

I like MINK's time capsule idea, meaning hidden spoilers tags I guess?

Bad tag policing may work, but I think one could also make it obligatory to fill three? separate tag spaces with at least 1 tag of max. x characters when submitting a video. Those 3 are published as one string of tags.

What about a separate site statistics page, where we can see e.g. top (15/overall) members (of the week), new non-starred members, tag cloud, recently discarded posts, recently promoted posts, amount of views/hits per dag/week/month, an interactive real-time graph of VS-posts featuring their quantity of votes over time et cetera.

Transform SiftTalk into the proposed Community page, where there's this forum, who's online, latest blog entries, recent channel talk and on top of the page an introduction? text/links..

VideoSift 3.2 Roundtable thread (Sift Talk Post)

MINK says...

understand that popularity does not equal quality. separate those two concepts before doing anything else. realise this place is fundamentally flawed for that reason. it will get better if you stop denying this obvious problem.

reinstall 2.0 (just kidding, sorta)

remove comment voting.

remove "ignore member".

raise sift threshold to 20 or 30, or whatever is proportional to the number of users a year ago. who cares if some people moan... read the title of the page, it says "quality control" not "we want you to be sifted as much as possible so you can get a gold star in 3 months with cat/clinton videos".

give me a favourite sifters list. i don't use RSS. and please don't then derive some rube goldberg "popularity metric" from the data.

flag adhom, it's worse than spam, and it's the only thing comment voting was supposed to combat anyway, and the only thing that should be "ignored/censored/downvoted" rather than challenged with actual words and intellect.

stop making deals with shitty advertisers. you'll get more donations anyway if you stop acting so retarded.

understand that growth is not necessarily good. if you lose 50% of your members it would be no bad thing (depending on which 50% you lose...) and at least the server would cost less. Reduce stress on the server, rather than adding to it. Focus on quality control, not handwringing inclusivity. Value your best members, not "the cloud", and learn to live with Dunbar's Number. Then you will find more people donate more because they will actually give a shit.

do as much as possible to restrict access and page requests and serverside processing for leeching lurkers and Ps. Participation should have rewards. You don't need thousands of more new users anyway, only the dedicated ones. If, as a P, all I could do was watch the top 15 every day and try to post my P-busting Sift, and that wasn't enough to make me want to join the community and see what's inside, why would you want me here anyway? Why give me all the candy for free and let me upvote crap and comment on shit with my tiny inactive nonparticipatory mind? How many users do you actually NEED? Do you think you can actually sell this crap to microsoft for $40 a share or something? I know you don't. Better to just try and have fun and find nice videos, even if that means (god forbid... elitism!) restricting membership to "only those people who try hard for a long time". Ban Ps who don't Sift. put a little "zzZZ" inactivity logo next to people who have had an empty queue for more than 2 weeks. Ban them after 6 months. Use it or lose it.

enforce proper tagging. badly tagged sifts should be suspendable by senior members. why should we have to edit the tags just because some noob is too dense to understand that "star, wars" is retarded tagging? why allow noobs to be lazy? "oh fuck it, some gold star will fix it or maybe he can't be bothered to fix it because he is busy posting his own videos and i will get away with my crappy data entry..." ... just give seniors a "bad tags" button. If people abuse it, ban them or demote them to bronze. If people think their tags were good, they can PM the guy who suspended them, and find out the answer. Job done. I would spend time to explain this to a noob, but i am not just going to fix it for him. Give a man a fish... etc.

introduce a time capsule for all sifts where we can add info to help resurrection if the clip dies. sometimes i don't want to spoil the joke or the ending, or clog up the description with boring details, but i do want to leave future undeaders enough info to find the clip.

calculate star points by posts and undeads ONLY, not freaking "applauded comments" and all that other crap. people seem to consider "100 posted videos" to be a "real" gold 100 anyway, so formalise that consensus.

don't worry if people complain that it's harder to get clips sifted. FUCK IT. who cares if you get sifted? Who cares if you only just joined and now the threshold is raised to 30. Who cares? it's just a game. fill your pqueue. share clips with your friends. You can't all be on the damn front page every day. (and the people who think about rankings all the time are shitty sifters anyway, so why encourage them?)

DO worry if senior dedicated quality members complain about the level of quality on here. Don't just sit back and say "hey that's freedom and the wisdom of crowds"... FIGHT that information meltdown. Do something about it. This site is POINTLESS if it's hard to find good videos here. The fact that there is an emergent consensus that cats are cute is NOT a laudable achievement of your algorithm, or a fair reflection of the tastes of the community. It's just more proof that cats are cute and perfect for short low res movies. 10 upvotes from a for ANOTHER cat video and you get a star point? wtf? What have you added to the archive or the community?

Explain "Hot" to me.

I remember when it was a fascinating game to see which videos would sift, and which would not. I felt like I was testing my intellect against the finest minds on the internet. The quirky vids that didn't sift were anyway applauded by the friends that mattered to me. Now it's just bullshit. Cut the dead wood.

Your name is VideoSIFT. your slogan is QUALITY CONTROL.

So let's have some more sifting, quality, and control.
