WTH, man! You gave us half the story, mr half as Interesting. So what happened with mr dan spivey, did he make back his $300 million? Is he secretly the worlds richest man, now?
300m for a cable that provides no real value to humanity 90% tax sounds good
Want a real protest thats effective cut the fiber network

1.31 Did he just called a PlayStation a router! HAHAHA LMAO
1:31 overused joke
Brick's!!!

Shows the floor of the NYC from the 90’s....

Bricks
Bricks

Bricks
Bricks.
Bricks.
Bricks.
Bricks.
Now about those Bricks when are the videos coming out?
1:20 what he said: a series What my ipad heard: hey siri
The part about satelitę internet wont be True in about a year lmao because of starlink
He said the information travels through wires underground? Ok think about this: If I send a message from America to my friend in Germany that message travels through cables in the ground and across the Atlantic as his photo shown? Also when the Voyager 1 & 2 sent messages and of the solar system back to earth those also traveled through cables? When a submarine communicates using internet those messages are sent through cables?
Gib brick now
1:40 : *exists* Starlink: I'm offended.
43 cracked me up😂
Unless you are using satellite internet. Well when its the only choice. :(
Totally derailed the video than what the actual topic was.
Wow. So much propaganda.
At althe.info/number/qZ2udHama6Nnhp0/video there's a graphic showing a "straight line" between Seacaucus and Chicago. But the actual "straight" line would be more of a curve because of the shape of the earth. But I suppose if you tunneled deep enough it could be closer to the graphic as a chord length. Love the channel. Since quarantine it's been one of my favorites.
i googled dan spivey and it turned out that he is a retired wrestler lol
Love how his pic of a router was a PS5 😂😂
Hey jimmy we’re here to take the old router. *The next day* So where on earth did I put my ps5
Fiber optic cabling and copper wires both transmit data at 2/3 the speed of light, not at the speed of light, that's only true for light in a vacuum. This is because the refractive index of the fiber optic cable which is essentially really pure glass.
That's not a router
I now want to see a film about snails in love. Only, snail reproduction is kinda horrifying, so maybe not.
1:32 ROUTER
Yeah..it’s called arbitrage...
he said HIA not HAI
#HAIMakesMistakes You claimed that if you were sending an email to someone, it would go directly from your computer to theirs. In reality, it goes from your computer to your email server, to their email server, at which point their device will ask their email server for the email.
soon as you end the video I'm like "I WANT MORE INFORMATION!"
Data travels a foot in 1.5 pico seconds, not a nano second. Edited to add that is a speed up of almost 1000 times.
0:36 Yes.
Hey this cable he is talking about , wasn't that a movie about 2 years ago?
This plan works great if you are the Flash buying stocks.
I LIVE IN SECAUCUS NJ
liked the video at first but then u converted m/s to ft, like wtf why? DEATH TO AMERICA
Assuming we have friends... IN France =)=)=)=)=)
Imagine paying $300M for a cable when you can order one off of amazon for $10
we want more bricks
1:31 That’s a ps5. A PS5!
For anyone interested, exploiting price differences is called arbitrage
Yeah! Briiìiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiìiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiìiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiicks
Brick
Ńf?
that ps5 meme tho
Who else is investing in the thc stonk 3:34
When I was a kid in Elementary school I told my classmates about these underground/underwater cables that connected to other countries but no one believed me. 😭😂
Give us the brick
As someone who genuinely actually really likes the PS5's design, that router joke genuinely made me laugh.
Do a video about bricks you unseasond cabbage
Break it cuz Chicago’s fake af
Back in the 90's I think there was a kid, a teenager, who figured this out and wrote a computer program that would buy futures on the Chicago market and then sell them on the NY market before the system could update. This is illegal now, but at the time there were no laws against it because no one had ever considered such a thing before. The kid made something like half a million while the SEC were losing their shit trying to figure out what to charge him with to make him stop. They eventually did charge him with something but were only able to fine him for something like 5 grand. When asked, his parents just said they were proud of him for seeing an opportunity that no one else did.
Isn’t this essentially insider trading using science?
Seriously? "≈1 foot/nanosecond" imperial? Ughhh... 😒😒
So my comment traveled thru a cable
Ok, I feel called out. Don't mind me over here sending my emails over satelite internet like everyone else in Rural America.
Better title for Chicago than “The New York City of places that aren’t New York City”: The better New York City that doesn’t always smell like dog sh*t.
You should make a video that's actually called a video about bricks and has a brick thumbnail but it's about an actual government secret
C'mon man them serious investors and entrepreneurs don't even invest in Bitcoin do y think they'll do fck all with 300m$ 😂😂 probably some dick grown kid he would've been!!
Here is the hateful comment u were waiting for. Router??? Is that a router?

Is that where the design came from???
capitalism and free market, best possible allocation of resources my ass, and then they would blame the government for being inefficient, that's such a waste its unbelievable.
the all new ps5 Router xD
brick vid pls
When did this channel become a comedy channel
S T O N K S
It also depends on the latency in your computer, your home network, signal processing at the start of the cable, signal processing the the nd of the cable, and also the local network where you are sending it.
1:58 Wow, the C-64 screen brought back memories.
1:31 holly shit I just died in this moment lol
Good video :)
Someone read flash boys
not gonna be 300 milllion after I eat it
HAI sounds like he’s a closet communist.
I was kinda waiting for the ending. Like did he get his money back? Arrested? Did competitors copy when they found out?
Anyone who feels oppressed and that your boss is " getting rich of your labour" can feel free to move to North Korea, Your labour is jack without capitalism, go work in a collective farm
Just realized the new york stock exchange is abbreviated NYSE. Nyse.
Flexing French skills
1:32 that thing is called PS5 and not Router🤣
Satellite connections are actually somewhat common in rural parts of the US. Look at Hughesnet or Viasat. They do suck though.
i think it's 16 nanoseconds not milliseconds
