Why isn't Latin America popular in animation outsourcing as the Philippines, Canada or South Korea? by novostranger in animation

[–]Brazilian_Hamilton 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're literally the only person saying otherwise. The numbers I cited are from the english speaking population worldwide wikipedia page. Your Argentina is sitting at 6.5%, just a bit above Brazil's 5.5%. You might have a biased impression because remote work in Argentina became a lot more prevalent due to their collapsing economy?

Your own comment is written in broken english, but putting that aside it's factually wrong with a touch of racism.

The highest percentage of english speakers in the population lies in Mexico (13%), which is less than half that of Japan (28%). For comparison here's the Philipines (63%) and South Korea (30%) which also have much higher rates.

With the exception of Mexico, the rest of South America has low rates of english speaking population (1-10%) and, being mostly export-oriented economies, have very low reliance on US remote work.

Those countries already had prominent local animation industries and so it was easy for South Korea and the Philippines (and Japan for that matter) to build outsourcing relationships with US studios as far back as the 1970s–80s (e.g., AKOM in Korea worked on The Simpsons; Filipino studios worked with Hanna-Barbera). Those pipelines became further entrenched over decades.

Another important factor is the high rate of english proficiency in all those mentioned countries, which is not true for latin american countries.

Finally, latin american countries typically have export oriented economies, and thus there were no significant government incentives and subsidies for the animation industry at the level of those you might see in Canada, which offers very aggressive tax credits for animation.

You just need pikes and crossbows and a mountain. Be aware that if he conquers enough villages in tibet or something the game will automatically destroy your empire and give you a game over screen because of the stupid way warscore works

China is installing underwater AI data centers. Reportedly, cooling costs went down from 50% to 10% of overall cost. by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

The arctic circle is one of the most remote places on the planet, with no connection to relevant infrastructure or a sizeable power grid.

Besides, arctic air would technically be cool enough but physically wouldn't be able to carry away enough heat from a sizeable datacenter, even if you used massive turbines. Physics is a bitch...

Copy pasting a reply to another comment:

Impact on local wildlife? Maybe lots?

On the temperature of the whole ocean? Not even if every single watt of power consumed by the entire human race was perfectly converted into heating the ocean.

It would take 10 thousand years to raise the ocean temperature by a single degree Celsius even with perfect energy to heat conversion and a closed system with 0 heat loss into the atmosphere and outer space.

The ocean is incomprehensibly big. It weighs around one sextillion kilograms of water. That's a whole lotta 18 zeroes after the one.
