  4. Excellent first video, relaxing without being too slow or boring.

  5. Didn’t think I forgot about China, did you?

  6. Correction: At 6:53 I incorrectly mention Digi.me as a service you can sell your data to for use by third parties. They are not an example of such a service. Instead, they offer the ability to see and manage data already stored by third parties. Apologies for the mistake.

  7. If the music video clip at the beginning felt a little off, that's because it had to be dramatically altered for fear of getting demonetized by YouTube. In addition to the bonus video, the Nebula version of this video has my original uncut vision of that intro. I never want to be forced to censor my content and don't want you to feel like you're getting a "lesser" version of the video on YouTube, but the truth is that YouTube has forced me. I hope you understand and if you have Nebula, I hope you'll watch the full version there. Thanks and hope you enjoy this end to the series! -Evan

  8. Had to really rush to get this video out, so I hope you like it! I also made a couple wallpapers for Patreon supporters!

  9. In celebration of Black Friday, this video is 100% off.

  10. SkillShare link is https://skl.sh/polymatter4 - I was kinda amazed to find out Kurzgesagt (In a Nutshell) has a SkillShare course on animation :o

  11. After watching this video, here's the final and fourth part: https://youtu.be/y87R3Lp0jd0
    2000
  12. Hope you guys find this topic interesting? Feel free to give feedback. I've got another political theory video in the pipeline which should be really neat (not unlike the North Korea one). Probably the video after next, but I think it's going to be good!
    2000
  13. If ads were enabled, I think you guys would be seeing about a million for cruise tickets.
    1900
  14. Slight clarification: "肉" doesn't literally mean "pork" but meat is generally assumed to mean pork when not otherwise specified in China. I should've been more clear.
    1900
  15. I know what you’re thinking! How have I gone so long without a proper China video? Well, don’t worry. They’re coming. P.s. Dashlane can help you remember and quickly fill your passwords: https://www.dashlane.com/polymatter (use my code “polymatter” for 10% off)

    1600
  17. Hey there — Part 3 of China's Reckoning is coming but those videos are hugely time-intensive to make and I want it to be the absolute best it can be. Hope you don't mind this brief intermission before we return with Part 3. -Evan
    1600
  18. If my voice sounds crispier, that’s the new mic! (Thanks Patreon supporters!)
    1600
  19. After a video about Russian pensions, the Cheesecake Factory felt like the next logical topic. All jokes aside, I hope you enjoy this light-hearted one before we return to more serious topics next time. -Evan
    1500
  20. If you're someone who usually skips sponsor reads at the end of the video, (no worries) but I encourage you to listen to this one, in which I give a little bit of background for why we created Nebula and why it's not just another streaming service. No pressure to sign up, but it might still be interesting to hear about. -Evan
    1500
  21. If you have any interest in making videos like these, you might learn how on Skillshare. The first 1,000 people to signup with http://skl.sh/polymatter3 will get 2 months for 99 cents. And if you do so and start a channel, shoot me an email and I’ll take a look!

    1300
  24. Thanks for the great feedback on the first episode of my new Nebula Original series. Episode 2 is out now and I think it's even better. This one is about why China is still pursuing Zero-COVID after 900 days and with no end in sight. I've had theories about this for years but feel like it's starting to really crystalize, and the answer is not a pleasant one. If you've been holding off on signing up for Nebula, now is the time to pull the trigger, with the CS + Nebula bundle on sale for less than $1/month right now: https://curiositystream.com/polymatter

    1000
  27. Someone said you might like two videos this week :) (Seriously though, don’t get used to it)
    1000
  28. If you enjoy these videos, there’s a very high probability you’d also like today’s sponsor, Morning Brew! I’ve been reading it for months now and would recommend it whether they were sponsoring or not. Plus it’s completely free! https://bit.ly/mbpolymatter

    1000
  33. Next video will come a little earlier due to some travel. Enjoy!
    1000
  34. Longest video yet!

  35. Busiest international airport by international passengers to be clear (should've spelled that out in the video)
    972
  36. Hey! We’re back after (probably?) the longest hiatus in the channel’s history. Good news: it was only a publishing delay for scheduling reasons so we’ll be releasing the videos we’ve been working on in rapid succession in the next few weeks. Enjoy and remember to check out Storyblocks if you make videos or do any sort of creative work: https://www.storyblocks.com/polymatter

  37. Fun fact: Steve Wozniak (Apple co-founder) created a sport called Segway polo. Where’s scooter polo? And will scooters become Paul Blart’s next preferred mode of transport? Just a few questions for you to sit on this weekend.
    898
  38. I’ve been looking for a new series since China’s Reckoning and finally found something I think you’ll enjoy. To tide you over before Part 2, you can watch the Nebula-exclusive bonus video for just $15/year with CusiosityStream + Nebula: https://curiositystream.com/polymatter Hope you enjoy. -Evan
    872
  39. If you’re hungry for more Huawei, Business Casual does a great job diving deeper into Huawei’s History: https://youtu.be/zIjVbcS02YM Also, If you noticed I uncharacteristically left out Apple, that’s no mistake: more to come!
    860
  40. Thanks everyone for your support! If you think this channel deserves more than its current 9k subscribers, I'd really appreciate any ideas for reaching a bigger audience. Also: I have two videos coming in the next few weeks (been a productive month!). One is a collaboration coming out next week and another about mobile games.
    823
  41. There are NO spoilers for Season 4!
    801
  42. Hey, I’m trying something out: After every video, I’ll comment + pin the best criticism/response. Hopefully it adds some nuance & incentivizes thoughtful comments. One thing I wish I would've emphasized more is the burning of trash and how that's a trade-off of air pollution in exchange for things like water pollution created by some landfills. Also: A few of you correctly pointed out that I misspelled the Chinese city of "Hohhot" in the city tier list.
    792
  43. Note from our sponsor: We realize what a difficult time this is. We will be extending our normal one-month Dashlane Premium trial for three months to all new users. We hope the joy of a seamless internet can provide a little help. Redeemable @ https://www.dashlane.com/polymatter From Evan (PolyMatter): It’s worth repeating that most of the numbers in this video have changed dramatically and are only used to demonstrate larger points. You should check with your local government for up-to-date information. Stay safe everyone.
    760
  44. ⭐️ If you have Nebula, go watch this there for the full, extended version. If you don't, why not? It's only $15/year and gives you extra- long versions of these videos: https://curiositystream.com/polymatter Also, Part 2 of this series is here: https://youtu.be/EgVXRtq5EIg

  46. Who else is dying for a Paul Blart 3?
    702
  47. We’re officially in a recession! Which means it’s time to hone your skills and become more marketable. Brilliant’s courses on topics like cryptocurrency, quantitative finance, and algorithms are a great way to do that: https://brilliant.org/Polymatter
    620
  48. Hey all — part 2 of missile defense is still coming! This is a quick detour to another topic because China's Party Congress is currently happening in Beijing. You can be the first to watch the next missile defense video with Nebula, which at $15/year is frankly just a steal of a deal: https://curiositystream.com/polymatter
    611
  49. Very happy to introduce Storyblocks https://www.storyblocks.com/polymatter as a new sponsor. I've been using their footage in videos for 4 years now and have recommended them to friends countless times. If you make videos or do any sort of creative work, Storyblocks is worth checking out!

    580
  53. Hey everyone! Because of exams and traveling, there will be a longer gap until the next video. I’ve got several exciting scripts in the works, as well as an entirely different project which I think you’ll enjoy but December is a recovery month for me, so things are slower.
    579
  54. This is an off-shoot of the wonderful book that inspired CGP Grey’s Rules for Rulers video. As you can tell, it’s a really thought provoking read - I highly recommend it. Hope you enjoy the longer video, and welcome all the new subscribers!
    574
  55. As someone who doesn’t use Facebook, I’m curious: Where is the worst for angry and unproductive politics? My guess is Facebook, but I also see a lot on Twitter, and I wonder if the character limit helps or hurts in this respect.

  58. Don't expect weekly videos always - I try for weekly but won't ever publish a video that isn't ready, and some topics take more time than others. Next video, for example, will be a really big and exciting topic which is going to take some extra time. I think you'll find the wait is worth it though :)
    529
  59. This is one of my recent favorites!
    525

    523

  92. This video is about the rise of U.S. shale oil. But the oil industry also has a dirty secret: between about 2010-20, it was losing millions of dollars a day — making WeWork or Uber look like business geniuses… all while doing damage to the environment. No story about shale is complete without this side of the story, which is why I made a second video, even longer and more in-depth than this one, about the dark side of shale. It's exclusively available on Nebula. With this link you can watch it right now, along with our entire catalog of exclusives and Originals: https://go.nebula.tv/polymatter Thanks and I hope you enjoy both! -Evan

  110. Hi guys — I've seen a lot of pushback against the graph trend line at 1:52. It's taken directly from a book we read called "China's Gilded Age" by a professor of economics named Yuen Yuen Ang. My mistake was to emphasize the trend line, when the relevant data is how much of an outlier China is compared to every other country. I shouldn't have shown the trend line here when it wasn't directly relevant. I encourage anyone still doubtful to check out the book (it really is good) for the full methodology, or even just check out some of Yuen Yuen Ang's talks online where she explains her research with much more context. -Evan

  118. The Great Wall illustrations are inside the passports, but both passports have a national emblem.
    161
  119. The last sponsor went really well thanks to you! This time we have SkillShare, which you can sign up for (free) here: http://skl.sh/polymatter I'm already having monetization troubles, but if people keep signing up to sponsors I’ll be able to continue making videos every two weeks regardless. Also: I’m exploring better options for background music in the future. Hopefully I’ll find a solution soon.
    158
  120. Meant to be a joke about all the ridiculous study books that are sold
    154
  121. I'm excited to announce a new sponsor: Ground News! I've been using the Ground News app (and home screen widgets!) to see how different outlets are covering the same story. It's pretty fascinating to see what words/terms are omitted from different sources. Give it a try and get 30% off at: https://ground.news/polymatter
    153
  122. Business Casual video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-tuZU18aU4 So the YouTube algorithm has suddenly stopped recommending my videos. I don’t know if this is temporary or what’s going on. But in the meantime, hopefully these sponsors go well enough that I can keep spending so much time making frequent videos.
    148
  123. Thanks for watching PolyMatter this year and see you in 2025! By the way, Nebula now offers the ability to gift memberships at http://gift.nebula.tv/polymatter Take care and happy holidays!
    141
  124. Don't forget to claim your free bag of Trade Coffee at: https://drinktrade.com/polymatter

  125. Spotify is a big company and has a lot of overhead (expenses). Remember that every free user is a net loss and many paid subscribers are students or on promotional deals (so paying closer to $1 or $5 a month). It's a mess :)
    140
  126. This is my first video using new graphic software. Look forward to similar-quality content in the future. Thanks for watching!
    132
  127. Don't forget to subscribe to the Morning Brew newsletter! https://bit.ly/mbpolymatter It's free and takes just 15 seconds
    131
  128. Hi there — Nebula is offering something unusual for a limited time: Lifetime Subscriptions. If you're looking for the best deal, I still recommend subscribing for a year at a time, at just $2.50/month. But if you strongly believe in what we're building, want to support PolyMatter more directly, and/or just don't like subscriptions, you can pay $300 today to get access to Nebula forever. https://go.nebula.tv/lifetime?ref=polymatter Why are we doing this? Nebula has never taken VC money. It's important for us that creators have a stake in the business. Lifetime subscriptions are a way of getting more money today so that we can invest in more exclusive content and keep making Nebula even better. We tried it on an experimental basis earlier this year and were really surprised and delighted by how popular it turned out to be. How long will this last? This is not a permanent subscription tier. It's a limited time offer. We may or may not offer Lifetime in the future. If we do, the price may increase. Do I still get Nebula Classes? Yes, this is a full, unrestricted subscription to Nebula. I already have Nebula. Can I still sign up to Lifetime? Yes! Anyone is eligible. In any case, thanks so much for watching!
    129
  129. Yeah you're right, seems like it's selling for more like $75 now. See my comment below: "I see a lot of sold Ebay listings ~$75 and it sold for $349 originally (64GB), meaning it has lost ~78% of its value. Not a huge difference and I don't think it changes the argument of the video, but thanks for pointing that out. I wonder if the source extrapolated their number from a few months or something maybe?"
    122
  130. Btw, Nebula doesn't show this on the normal link but if use https://go.nebula.tv/lifetime?ref=polymatter you can still get Lifetime access for $300. This is great for those of you who don't like subscriptions and really want to help support what we're doing. I think you'll really like our latest Nebula UI refresh, which includes a new Nebula News sections. -Evan
    122
  131. Happy new year! You can watch the latest episode of my Nebula Original series, "China, Actually" on Nebula. Nebula (the entire streaming service) costs just $2.50/month with an annual subscription. https://go.nebula.tv/polymatter See you on Nebula!
    113
  132. Good points - I suspect the hourly wage difference between top & low earning drivers is *huge*.
    112
  133. I just finished recording a new episode of my Nebula Original "China, Actually". And can get access to it (soon) and six other Nebula-exclusive episodes by signing up right here: https://go.nebula.tv/polymatter -Evan
    111
  134. I turn off ads for new videos (so you don't have both the sponsor and adsense)
    110
  135. +Alex Garcia I actually like it too, but find that I'm in the minority
    102
  136. You can support this channel by signing up for our current sponsor SkillShare: http://www.skl.sh/polymatter2
    99
  137. It's to prevent ridiculously high double taxation. So like if Country A has a 25% tax rate, then America would be taxed at 55% considering the 35% also paid to the U.S. - so they subtract the other tax paid. I didn't go into this in the video too closely because I didn't think it was too important and I didn't want to get bogged down in too many of the intricacies.
    92
  138. The numbers refer to population size ("yet with one-fifth the population"). But that could've been more clear
    90
  139. Good question. In general, most companies have to make money in order to grow, in order to make more money. But, nowadays a lot of companies are focusing on growth first, not making money. So they ask investors for a lot of money, then just focus on building a product and getting as many users as possible. This is what Snapchat, Instagram, and others have done. Eventually they have to start selling something or making money, but that's often many years away, so in the meantime you might as well use the service on the investor's dime. Does that answer your question?
    88
  140. Strong counterargument, I'm at least partially convinced. I don't agree that there would be a fragmentation issue, and I don't think today's (Tim Cook's) Apple is as against selling similar (and confusing) device lines. But I think you make a good point about there being some preferable solutions to the current Apple TV gaming problem.
    87
  141. Hit the wrong button - sorry for making everyone wait.
    85
  142. Don't forget to check out Brilliant free for 30 days here: https://brilliant.org/Polymatter Brilliant has a new course on Large Language Models (LLMs) that I think you would find especially interesting. Have a great weekend!
    75
  143.  @stereomachine  This is my experience living in China but for something more concrete, here's the first result I could find in a book called "Pork: A Global History": "Indeed, in China 'meat' means pork unless otherwise specified…". In fairness, I'm sure there is a regional component here.
    73
  144. Because people don't like seeing my sponsorship + YouTube ads (and understandably so)
    69
  145. It's so bad.
    68
  146. Huge thanks to Patreon supporters: https://www.patreon.com/polymatter who are currently discussing this video on Discord (Come join us!)
    66
  147. That's great to hear :) I'm thinking about it, but I worry that I have no way to gauge interest in one. If I were to create one, do you have any ideas for rewards? So far i've been thinking of creating some wallpapers, and perhaps custom icons/graphics.
    64
  148. Thanks so much for the feedback. I probably won't be using the sidebar again, but I'll try to figure out a better way to visualize the organization and passage of time. I didn't realize it was too slow (or too many silences), but I'll definitely look into that.

  150. Great topic. Highly recommend Sam Harris' work to anyone who finds this interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCofmZlC72g
    53
  151. +Clayton Maartens Yeah, kinda sad. The best advice I can give is 1) Give it a try before assuming people will down vote. Best to share your idea and be disagreed with on the internet than conform just for internet points. 2) Don't down vote to disagree, it only makes things worse.
    51
  152. +LAZARW0LF I think I may have communicated that wrong. I'm not saying a flag can't have words, just that it really shouldn't. That's according to the North American Vexillology Association: http://www.ausflag.com.au/assets/images/Good-Flag-Bad-Flag.pdf
    51
  153. Thanks for the kind words you guys. I've been working hard so that the next video will be right around the corner (and I think you're going to like it)!
    50
  154. Did someone say China?
    47
  155. Soon
    42
  156. I hope so, would be funny to see the downvote bot(s) help my channel...
    42
  157. Which part?
    39
  158. Vox + 99pi = Visual and Audible perfection
    39
  159. You must've been on 10x speed if you already watched it :)
    38
  160. Yeah, pretty sure someone used a bot. :(
    36
  161. Hey! Is it alright if I use your username in an upcoming video? I need an example username and I appreciate your support. Let me know. Thanks.
    35
  162. +MultiMapping Thank you very much.
    31
  163. I'd love to do more urban-planning/transportation topics in the future, but not sure which ones yet
    31
  164. Never used LastPass, but I'm pretty sure Dashlane is the only one that can change your passwords for you from the app.
    28
  165. +sea potato Thank you - I'm a big CGP Grey fan. :)
    27
  166. woosh
    25
  167. Hadn't thought about that, but I suppose you're right! I guess this'll be an experiment on how well nudging works
    25
  168. Reddit has spoken (https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/4rp1xk/skeuomorphism_the_biggest_feature_of_the_iphone/) - The finger at 0:45 is decidedly weird. Will work on my fingers for the future. :)
    24
  169. +LauraBundin The flag of Trinidad is very simple and cool!
    22
  170. Cheater McCheaterson, I really like this idea. I don't know if I could make a whole video for each one, but perhaps some behind-the-scenes stories and information on each video.
    22
  171. This 'Hong Kong' place sounds pretty interesting!
    22
  172. Hey - someone saw it!
    21
  173. Fair enough! Thanks for watching!
    21
  174. Wait until you see I have a whole Nebula Original series on it…
    21
  175. @Mr. P. Enis Yeah I didn't want to delay the video just because of that
    20
  176. Yeah, I've seen the one from Roman Mars (who has a design podcast which is amazing, if you don't know about it).
    19
  177. You’ll like Part 2 then :)
    17
  178. I was really torn by this, but I decided the opposite because a) there are less of the more in-control companies, and the top of the pyramid is smaller and b) Higher —> better in most people's minds
    16
  179. Can't say I agree, perhaps that will be a video at some point.
    15
  180. Hey Mr.Larry! The PolyMatter Patreon has indeed launched as of today: https://www.patreon.com/polymatter Thanks so much!
    14
  181. woosh
    14
  182. One word of advice: don't binge the episodes too much, you'll go crazy :)
    14
  183. To anyone who signed up but didn’t get the link, there seems to be a bug. Please email help@curiositystream.com and they’ll sort it out for you. Huge apologies for the inconvenience. -Evan
    14
  184. Good eye!
    14
  185. +UpZet Brainz I forgive you :)
    13
  186. Paul blart joke or typo?
    13
  187. No spoilers for Season 4
    13
  188. Wow, that was only 9 months ago. Feels like years...
    13
  189. +Boris Radulov yep
    12
  190. eh he's pretty sketch
    11
  191. Pessimism is my aesthetic.
    11
  192. +Nicolas Pena If I were to make this video over again, I'd make that part more clear. What I mean is that China doesn't really like NK, but they'd rather it stay stable than collapse, because that would mean the NK population fleeing into China at a crazy rate, and South Korea having more power (therefore America being better positioned near China which is a little too close for their comfort). Anyway, thanks for watching!
    11
  193. I don't think that is wholly incompatible with my argument. At the start, I take the viewer's politics as fact and move on to talk about being effective. But in reality, the viewer should also make every effort to evaluate their own beliefs and change them when necessary - that just wasn't the focus on this particular video.
    11
  194. Hey thanks!
    10
  195. Just me :)
    10
  196. Thanks Brandon!
    10
  197. I highly recommend Carcassonne, it's a very relaxing, fun game. And all of Simogo's games are excellent too.
    10
  198. Any image editing program works. I use Pixelmator on my Mac but there's Gimp and Inkscape for PCs.
    9
  199. +Nikhil Darshale Thanks for your kind words :)
    9
  200. Patreon launched! https://www.patreon.com/polymatter Thanks so much, and I'll be in the Discord much of today to talk to new supporters about this video! :)

  204. You have my sympathy for watching my terrible early videos.
    9
  205. I appreciate it :)
    9
  206. Thank you. From the start, I wanted to avoid intro/outro stuff because I didn't want to waste people's time. But over time I've added the outro and if I can make a good, really short intro, I might do that as well.
    8
  207. Thank you
    8
  208. G. - I'm not sure how comments got turned off, but I fixed now. Trying to figure out how it happened now...
    8
  209. Good eye!
    8
  210. Thank you very much! I don't like making milestone videos but I appreciate your support very much.
    8
  211. That's so kind of you! Thanks man
    8
  212. There are no Season 4 spoilers, and I'll try to make that more apparent.
    7
  213. Happy to have you!
    6
  214. That’s barbaric
    6
  215. Fair enough :)
    6
  216. No worries, you'll be able to just hang out at the DMV for fun
    6
  217. Yeah, this too. It's bizarre how different classes transfer (or don't) to colleges. Makes you wonder if there's some sort of financial deal going on between College Board and colleges.
    6
  218. No actually you're right. I see a lot of sold Ebay listings ~$75 and it sold for $349 originally (64GB), meaning it has lost ~78% of its value. Not a huge difference and I don't think it changes the argument of the video, but thanks for pointing that out. I wonder if the source extrapolated their number from a few months or something maybe?
    6
  219. I have a bad habit of speaking too slowly. I swear I'm working on it!
    6
  220. +Vexillographer Thanks!
    5
  221. If it's what you like, go for it! But I encourage anyone considering it to seek out what doing they job looks like so they don't waste time and money learning if it isn't for you.
    5
  222. I was surprised too. But it makes sense when you consider commute time (radio) and passive listening while working or in a store, etc.
    5
  223. Glad to hear :)
    5
  224. +NEBDmmnoob252 Thank you very much!
    4
  225. +MultiMapping You're welcome, thanks for watching.

  226. Another counterexample is the soda tax, which a lot of people support even though it removes people's freedom.
    4
  227. Divay Pratap, Send an email to hello@compassnews.co.uk with the problem. And if they don't reply or you can't figure it out, email me at hellopolymatter@gmail.com and I'll personally talk to them directly so we can figure out the issue.

  228. Theelo5, I wish it were that easy!
    4
  229. See Wendover’s cult video for that :)
    4
  230. Season 4 came out today :)
    4
  231. Will definitely try to remember for future videos. Thanks for the suggestion :)
    4
  232. It's been a crazy but exciting time! :)
    4
  233. Best of luck this year! For motivation, there are always great memes about each test afterwards on r/APStudents :)

  234. +Devin Reckless Yes, I do make them. Thanks for subscribing

  235. Thanks so much - I'm never completely happy with my videos, but I get comfort in knowing I'm getting better every time. (Also thanks for letting me use your name)
    3
  236. Thanks :)

  237. I was wondering if anyone would notice :) Good eye!

  240. AP Lit is the worst. You have my sympathies.

  241. Not always this fast (see pinned comment above)

  242. “In reality”
    3
  243. I'll let it slide.
    3
  244. Truly appreciate it, Daniel!
    3
  245. Hey TxcGren - I’ve just launched a Patreon which will have behind the scenes information on how I make my videos and how you can make your own! https://www.patreon.com/polymatter Thanks!
    3
  246. As far as I can tell that is a type of monetized ad called "sponsored cards"
    3
  247. Yo! Thanks so much for telling me
    3
  248. If you're not able to support the Patreon, giving Blinkist a try (free or paid) is a big help! https://www.blinkist.com/polymatteraff

  249. Thanks so much - I've been really happy to hit 1,000. Hope to see you around :)
    2
  250. +Nikol Baker Thank you! I use iDraw for vector graphics and Camtasia to put things together. At some point I may do a video on my video production process.
    2
  251. +Nikol Baker My first video (The Downvote Predicament) was done in June of 2015 but I've only recently started making these animated type videos. If you have any questions about making videos in iDraw and Camtasia, shoot me an email. hellopolymatter@gmail.com

  253. +Henry Tompkinson Hey thanks! :)
    2
  254. +Heartbreaker Studios what should i have done?
    2
  255. True, I just couldn't resist the joke
    2
  256. +Gebo Kabab Thanks! I’ll probably set one up down the road, but I don’t think there’s enough interest yet.

  258. Very much appreciate this. Thank you Orian!

  260. Watch The Office!
    2
  261. Polymatter.yt - more to come after I launch my Patreon (soon)
    2
  262. +Henry Zakay Thanks man! Because CompassNews is so new, they truly want feedback from users. I know for certain that if you email them they’ll read it and perhaps you could suggest some more right-leaning sources. Anyways, sorry you weren’t satisfied but I hope to see you around :)
    2
  263. After digging into this a bit, it seems the problem is with the uploader tool. The video should be fixed momentarily and I'm pushing for this to never happen again - Nebula users should have the best experience and anything less is extremely frustrating to me. Sorry about that. -Evan
    2
  264. I removed it because the sponsorship ended. I encourage you to check it out because it’s a great service, but it’s no longer a way to support my channel.
    2
  265. I always add subtitles, I think the issue may be with your computer/browser?
    2
  266. Pssst... if you email help@curiositystream.com they'll give you access to Nebula if you've already signed up previously -Evan
    2
  267. Thank you, I'm mostly better now. I should sound mostly normal in the next video.
    2
  268. Really appreciate it :)
    2
  269. +Austin Horciza Oh crap - this was so obvious and I didn't notice. I think you're the first person to notice though, let's hope nobody else does. :(
    2
  270. Patreon is coming at the end of the week. Thanks so much!
    2
  271. I think we may just have a different understanding of the word "transparency" in this context. You say "They abstract technical stuff away" which is exactly what I mean, making the technology transparent and presenting their own interface that is as distanced from tech jargon as possible.
    2
  272. Hey JR He - I’ve just launched a Pattern which will have behind the scenes information on how I make my videos and how you can make your own! https://www.patreon.com/polymatter Thanks!

  276. Good feedback, I'm going look into changing the map design.
    2
  277. Could you take a screenshot? I'm not sure what that is
    2
  278. I think Rules for Rulers is one of the best videos on YouTube, so it was definitely an inspiration during the script writing
    2
  279. gahhhh

  289. +Hidde Holwerda That's very nice of you to say

  290. +Ceisiwr Serith 1:2 was more of a suggestion for a beginner who just wants to get started. I totally agree that it's not the only or even the best option. I have been thinking about perhaps making a better version of this video in the future. Thanks for checking out my channel and good work on yours - you're very knowledgable!

  291. +陆其右 Hey thanks! :)
    1
  292. You're a hero! I feel like it needs some white in there too though
    1
  293. I like the first and third ones!
    1
  294. Yeah, same order I think. I like the white in the bottom right corner and the white on either side of the stripe
    1
  295. +garyGERI97 I used Affinity Designer, but just about any image editor will work. I am in the process of making videos on how I make videos.
    1
  296. Well thank you!
    1
  297. +Mic Brown Thanks!
    1
  298. +SirSkoomaKi I happen to use ScreenFlow and iDraw but the truth is you just need any video editing software + some skills (that comes from practice). I plan on posting a video about how I make my videos at some point, so look forward to that I suppose. :)
    1
  299. +History4You Thanks and welcome. :)

  301. +JaytleBee von Miraus http://www.santafe.edu/media/workingpapers/98-05-041.pdf and http://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/2975/does-the-dvorak-keyboard-increase-typing-speed The consensus seems to be that it has real advantages but they aren't big enough to override the switching costs. However, if it were possible to learn DVORAK instead of QWERTY, it might be worth it.

  302. I love it! Bright colors look really good when separated by a white.

  307. I looked at a few sources when researching for the video, here's one of them which lists North Korea as slightly less powerful than Belgium, with their nuclear technology factored in: http://www.businessinsider.com/35-most-powerful-militaries-in-the-world-2014-7 . Now, it's fair to say that things are constantly changing, and I'd even agree with you that they aren't weak (by any stretch) but when I was comparing military might to Belgium the larger point is that North Korea gets away (has little punishment and survives) with huge and constant provocations, and that's not something that a country of its might should be able to do given how powerful it's enemies are. Then, of course, I go on to explain why they do get away with it (the brilliance of Kim's political strategy and situation). Anyways, thanks for watching the video.

  308. +alex_sinnott I'm aware of what's happening there but I did my best to avoid specific names in this video so that people think of the meta issue, and not the specific people it had to do with. I almost covered the names of the candidates in the video.

  309. Good on you! We could use more...

  310. +Alex Willis I can't say I'm a fan but I do think it's comical and worth keeping, if only because it's so recognizable. Also, glad to find another Hello Internet fan. :) Pssst...new video coming tomorrow!

  339. Kim lives a wonderful life in NK, he basically has all the riches he could want, and everything that comes with it. Now, could he take that money and live on a beach somewhere? In theory, yes, but I think the threat of assassination is too high, and that's if his money isn't confiscated by the government of the country he flees to. Kim has a lot to lose.

  342. One game may not have much information about you, but one company, that owns all sorts of products that you use can get a very good sense of you by aggregating data. And they're financially incentivized to do that.

  377. Read as much as you can. I have the most ideas when I'm reading a book (often unrelated to the subject of what I'm reading)
    1
  378. I think there's a level of subjectivity there, I found the Be Right Back characters to be fairly shallow and uninteresting. An Entire History of You seemed pretty realistic and less sci-fi, smart glasses and wearables are most likely coming soon.

  398. The main reason they don't bother making their devices upgradable/repairable is that it gets in the way of principle #1 and somewhat #2 - it makes devices bulkier, less simple, fatter, and heavier. They value these things so much that even just making the device a little wider would not be justified by repairability.
