No it doesn't.

Not every cost is fungible and money isn't always the limiting factor.
- shermantanktop 2y agoIt should be obvious that not all risks can be converted into a capital problem. People say this, but then fall in love, get divorced, get depressed, or their company might lose its mojo, get sued, or lose an unreplaceable employee. But they will still say “all risk can be costed.”
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> Not every cost is fungible and money isn't always the limiting factor Sure. This isn’t relevant to Netflix.
- namaria 2y agoIt is. The fact that 'streaming is a solved problem' has no bearing on any one company's ability to do it at scale. Solved problem means merely you don't have to invent something new, not that it is easy or within reach of everyone.

- namaria 2y agoIf it is just a matter of paying up, why hasn't ESA pulled it off? I'm pointing out and offering examples that "solved problem" has no bearing on the ease or organization capacity of any one group to do it. It is merely a statement that no unknown, new solution needs be invented. If I have to spell it out you're clearly debating in bad faith and we're done here.
- moralestapia 2y agoWe are arguing if it's possible or not. Who cares if a thousand guys are incapable? (like Netflix, lmao) What matters are the ones that can do it, and you even said they've done it at "a fraction of the cost". Paraphrasing, your argument says more about the incompetence of the ESA than the impossibility of doing such thing.
