Cracker King posted:Didn’t NTSC and PAL/SECAM come about because of the different electrical grids of USA and Europe? NTSC was the first, and happened to have several problems (never twice the same color) that both PAL and SECAM competed to overcome, but where they ended up being adopted was more geopolitics than grid frequency, so Brazil has PAL on a 60Hz grid and Japan had 59.94Hz NTSC in both 50Hz and 60Hz grid areas.

Cracker King posted:Didn’t NTSC and PAL/SECAM come about because of the different electrical grids of USA and Europe? Not quite! NTSC doesn't in itself mandate a frame rate/supply frequency/number of lines, it's literally just the way the luma is to be modulated with the chroma. All that other stuff is System-M iirc. The reason PAL was developed was because poor transmission of NTSC produced a lot of distortions in color and it was perceived that European weather conditions would be a worse place for NTSC broadcasts.

The other thing is that PAL and SECAM both require information about the previous line, thus phase alteration by line, so you need precision components that NTSC doesn't, because analog receivers have no idea what the previously transmitted line would be. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsk4WWtRx6M NTSC works well enough in clear weather with a well calibrated set to not need weird components, but when it doesn't work you get really bad color instead of minor saturation shifts.

There’s a reason NTSC stands for Never The Same Color.

I think the real outlier is Russia, which has a big rivalry with the US, but loving loves France. Otherwise, I think there's a similar amount of hate, but France is much less internationally relevant, so sometimes countries may not remember France enough to spare any hate for it. Also the places where France mucks around internationally are the places that the anglosphere forgets exists, so we aren't as privy to the people who hate the French the most.

The main difference between France and Britain is that the French got a better PR team.SlothfulCobra posted:Also the places where France mucks around internationally are the places that the anglosphere forgets exists, so we aren't as privy to the people who hate the French the most. For example: the amount of support Mitterand gave to the Interahamwe.

Many people from many countries dislike France, although they usually have a better reason than considering the French to be cheese-eating surrender monkeys who won't join their extremely ill-advised invasions of Middle Eastern countries

One of the constants of the human experience is that those guys across the fence are loving shite, mate. Because of this, we can assume that the Spanish, Germans, Belgians and so on hate the French. Also, as a Dane, I hold a grudge because the English preemptively destroyed our fleet because we were probably gonna ally ourselves with the French. I blame both France and England for this. And Sweden for good measure.

More contemporary polls would indicate that Americans actually love the French: https://news.gallup.com/poll/189602/france-favorable-rating-zooms-new-high.aspx

Anyway, with Usa going out of the brown people killing business, the Danish government has made some statements about cozying to to France to keep going with the project. France is still relevant, and may be even more so in the future.
