This Serrano fight is just an insane display of excellence. If anyone was waiting for the main card to tune in, I recommend tuning in now.
Serrano should have won.

I hope to never have a manager who is mentally stack ranking me and my coworkers in terms of perceived dumbness instead of in terms of any positive trait.
Btw how do you know your current manager is not doing that.
I don't. That's why I said hope :)

I don't spend much time streaming, but I got a glimpse of the Amazon Prime catalog yesterday, and was surprised at how many titles on the front page were movies I'd actually watch. Reminded me of Netflix a dozen years ago.
Amazon Prime front page includes currently a lot of ads for movies that you can rent or ”buy”. Are you sure these movies weren’t them?
This is my biggest issue with Prime Video. You never know what's included and what costs extra.

#164Main event hasn’t even started yet. Traffic will probably 10x for that. They’re screwed. Should have picked something lower profile to get started with live streaming.
I don’t work in tech. Is this something that engineers could respond to and reallocate resources to fix mid stream?

What was an amazing fight - that Serrano won. I have no idea how Taylor was scored the winner.

I know nothing about boxing and this fight was just ridiculously impressive. I kept tuning out of the earlier fights. They felt like some sort of filler. I didn’t get the allure. But Taylor v Serrano was just obvious talent that even I could appreciate it.

#167FWIW, works fine for me.
Please don't make these types of comments, they mean nothing and they serve no purpose.

#168I wonder if there will be any long term reputational repercussions for Netflix because of this. Amongst SWEs, Netflix is known for hiring the best people and their streaming service normally seems very solid. Other streaming services have definitely caught up a bit and are much more reliable then in the early days, but my impression still has always been that Netflix is a step above the rest technically. This sure do…
Has Netflix ever live streamed something before? People on reddit are reporting that if you back up the play marker by about 3 minutes the lag goes away. They've got a handle on streaming things when they have a day in advance to encode it into different formats and push it to regional CDNs. But I can't recall them ever live streaming something. Definitely nothing this hyped.

#170Why do they want to get into the live business? It doesn't seem to synergize with their infrastructure. Sending the same stream in real time to numerous people just isn't the same task as letting people stream optimized artifacts that are prepositioned at the edge of the network.
Live is the only thing that won’t be commodified entirely. “Anyone” can pump out stream-when-you-want TV shows. Live events are generally exclusive, unpredictable, and cultural moments .
