concept: twitter (or facebook etc.) live video but synced up with other people to facilitate impromptu long-distance jamming

This is pretty much a "light speed says no" situation, though there are some cool things like jammr that add specific extra lag, to allow you to be out of time by precisely one bar, so you're kind of in time.

nuts, i've never done this calculation before but light takes 16ms to travel 3000 miles huh. hmmmm. that's just about noticeable i guess?
Replying to
Yeah, and it's worse than that. Light in fibre optics is only like 0.7c, plus all the other hardware and software delays.
You can probably pull something off if you stick to low tempo stuff, but you won't be tight and can't be fast

saw this video a few months ago
apparently it's doable if they're not TOO far away (~500 miles) and you have good hardware/internet
