It seriously lacked what discussion happens in a Product Review or Design Review internally (ideally) at a company.

amusing that the studios do all this work in contracts to make sure they have rights as long as they possibly can and then they forget to take care of the physical media

I think you're confusing modern day contracts with content from pre-2000. With DVDs, people started paying attention to the quality of the content to the point that additional things were added to the contracts to have cast/crew available for behind the scenes during principle photography, after edit for commentary, etc. Before that, it was just take the released version and dub it to VHS were quality was an after thought.

That older content just had no concepts of ever being used for anything other than the original broadcast, or eventually, hopefully, syndicated broadcasts. People survived off of royalties from syndication which is why it was a big deal reach that 100th episode. Once they reached 100, they could phone it in. That's why so many older shows had 20+ episodes per season to get to 100 faster.

times have changed. the quality of home video is so much better than it was, and now people pay attention to those details. compare a 4k HDR with surround to a VHS with maybe HiFi stereo audio tracks played back on most commonly the speakers on the TV itself. The timeline from VHS->DVD->HD->4K is not linear which is something I think a lot of people do not appreciate.

Could you make it any more obvious that you're trying to replace me?

This is exactly how companies get sucked into the quarterly chase of Wallstreet. Facebook shouldn't be concerned and neither should you.

This whole thing reeks of failure. Win because you promise more? That sounds like a government project.

"Win because you promise more? That sounds like a government project." Ha, ding ding ding ding ding ding!

Who will care when my Google's self driving car is the norm?

Yeah, the model is broken, but what do we do? Bail out the model. We shouldn't outlaw the model. We should let the stupid models fail and be replaced by smarter, more accurate, more legit models.

Do you see VCs loaning $$ to entreprenuers to buy a home in the US for a visa?

I'm still amazed by how many students go to schools out of state to get the same quality of education that they can get in state for often a quarter of the cost or less.
