Nobody shares knowledge better than this

This makes about as much sense as anything I would expect to find in a TDWTF thread named "Nobody shares knowledge better than this."
Observation: While Discurse is in the process of 504ing, the buttons to bookmark, share and reply to the not-yet-saved post exist and are active (at least the share is active), but like, flag and edit are not visible. I never noticed that before.

But what if they don't have a computer near them in a situation where learnt knowledge matters?
Without SSDS they won't even know they don't know. Problem solved!

If it uses SSDS it does. And given how random it usually is, I have my suspicions.

I doubt it. SSDS does fast forward (or is that Fast Forward); Discourse only does super-slo-mo.

Not really fast forward but time delay video.
Play for a 1/10 second then jump to the next second and play another 1/10 etc

Then fast backwards. Many things are much easier to see if done this way.
60 seconds through 82 seconds shows the cloaked object. Fast forward and fast backward a number times for the best viewing.
Or maybe it is just a cluster of butterflies?

So it's a camera, with no tripod, aimed at a pile of foam, across a busy street, for 81 seconds.

It would seem so, unless aliens...

Not quite like this.
To really see things fast and slow do this.
start at position 1 second and play for 1/15 of a second
then start at position 1.075 and play for 1/15 of a second.Then resume at position 2 seconds and play for 1/15 of a second
resume at position 2.075 and play for 1/15 of a secondand on and on.

If only there was a technique that would result in a video you could watch start-to-finish, at normal speed, and still see all the details and interesting bits!
I think I'd call it "video editing".

Doing Police Video (the right way)
Police forces throughout North America are employing video to increase accountability
and build trust. These efforts are bound to fail.First they couldn't pick a worse recording method than a camcorder on the chest.
Many events will be missed and video flexibility is lost. Using a hand held recorder as one
would use a flashlight can enhance video, capture sunrise / sunsets and street scapes,
Police Video can be made more interesting to watch.This video needs to be quickly uploaded (unedited) to the net.
To accomplish this. Daily video would be played back on a large screen and a
Fast forward recording of that uploaded immediately to the host site.The 4 hrs of daily shift video can be viewed in 15 to 20 minutes this way. Requested segments will be uploaded in their entirety.
Allowing police to control the video won't build trust. Re. The city of Gardena Police video
From 2013 just recently being released.Citizen volunteers will be employed to do the recording and archiving.
The originals will also be available on USB sticks and Disk drives at Libraries and alternate
Locations.Cell phone video will be readily accepted and PAID for.
Those that are interested can help archive those original clips. Ie Sunsets, Street views,
Thugs on the corner, chase segments, arrests..Watchers can select and replay just these segments or randomly sample all video.
The Video being unedited and searchable will build trust. Anything less will be seen as a farce.
Police crime can't go unpunished
To eliminate Political Corruption and Cronyism, Elected Officials and Senior Staff must be
watched with video. Bad Elected Officials is an even bigger problem! Billions will be saved and recovered.Criminal secrecy must be exposed.

This is demonstrably not true. When that city in California put body cams on all the cops, within a year, abuse complaints against the police dropped by 70-80%.
Of course the takeaway there is some fraction of those were people previously making false accusations, but when people know the cops are being recorded, it does increase perception of them, because it is harder for the cops to cover stuff up.
Of course they still try--there was a case here in Dallas a few years ago where the cops finally caught a motorcyclist who'd been taunting them, and he apparently fell several times on his face or something, conveniently right out of the view of the police cruiser's dash cam, but again, in general, it's at least harder for that to happen, so it's a good start.

Dashcams are cool.

Is there a person in the world, other than you, that watches police video showing, I dunno, a SWAT team kicking a mafia boss to the ground, and thinks to themselves "mm, that's good, that's good, but it could use a view of that beautiful sunset over there"?

Well think about it. All these police cameras, switched on all the time. They must capture some awesome sunsets just by virtue of being in the right place at the right time! And sunrises too! Let's not forget the sunrises. Too often sunsets and sunrises go forgotten just by virtue of nobody having a camera ready to record them.

Remember, you're in Swampie's world, where video editing is verboten. Have fun sifting through hours of footage to enjoy your sunset...

I would have thought that the stronger objection would be that you generally want your cops to have both hands free, not to have one hand occupied holding a video camera. And that this is particularly true in those moments of action that you most want to be recorded.

The camera is attached to the shoulder of the cop's uniform. They have both hands free for coffee and donuts.

I think it would be awesome if you were to let those nice folks over at http://meta.discourse.org/ know about this. They have lots of information and sometimes they mistakenly think they are overloaded by it and have to hide it. Maybe they need your special skills?

Pot makes you smarter I have been a computer programmer most of my working life 44+ years. Yes it makes me smarter. In my drinking years I'd make sure I had simple stuff and cleanup to do the day after drinking. Not so with marijuana. A toke or two makes work more fun and thus you do a better job. Pot makes you smarter for sure... I have a list a yard long where I did a superior job. See "nobody shares knowledge better than this" that claim remains unchallenged after 2700+ responses http://forums.thedailywtf.com/forums/t/13917.aspx Another real life pot story. My sister liked playing scrabble. She would beat her daughter most of the time. That all changed when my niece would step outside for a toke. Boy that almost had my sister taking up pot.
This explains so much. Also I don't think he knows what "unchallenged" means
