Top Comments of this video!! :3
30:18 Correction: He said Tokkyo (特許 patent), not Tokyo.
The entire sentence is: We made the patent open to everyone, which made the QR code so popular.

The part in 30:18 where the translation of what Mr. Hara said was "We decided to launch it in Tokyo..." is actually「特許オープンにした」which means "made it an open patent..." So he actually said "We realized that it was the right thing to do when we made it an open patent. And as a result, it spread widely and we think that it's really good."
I learn so much from your videos Derek! Thank you so much!

Error correction is the purest form of magic that I've ever come across in mathematics. It's like that children's trick where you take someone's birthday, add, subtract, multiply and divide it with some numbers and then guessing the original number from the result. That, but taken several steps further. It's honestly magical to me every time I think about it.
P.S. I was gearing up to write a 'long video but still no full form of QR' comment but you unexpectedly blindsided me with it at the end. Well played, good sir.

For those that are convinced that SOS is an acronym a quick Wikipedia search explains that, originally (in 1906), SOS was chosen because is easy to remember and to read. The idea that it is an acronym for "save our souls" or even "save our ship" emerged years later as a way to help in remembering it.
Fun fact, this phenomenon in which a meaning is invented for a sequence of letter is called a backronym

As a software engineer myself, I always appreciate learning about the intricacies of different encodings. I've learned how QR codes work before, but these videos add the stories to them that remind me of all the people behind these amazing technologies. This was a really cool video; thanks to everyone at Veritasium who made this (and all your amazing videos) possible!

3:06 - Not only did real-time DEcoding of Morse Code come as a surprise to Morse and manufacturers, but real-time ENcoding wasn't anticipated either. There many things that nobody thought humans could do until humans were doing it. The original intent with Morse was that you'd use the codebook to translate the message's letters (and maybe some punctuation) into dots and dashes, then completely lay out the message using metal slugs (short ones for dots, long ones for dashes) in a rack or on a drum. With the message already composed, you'd step up to the wires and turn a switch that would turn on a slow-turning drum at the telegraph wires' other end.
That drum was coated with paper or something similar, and a pencil (or something similar) was pointed perpendicular to the drum's circular surface, towards the drum's axis. The switch's current also rang a bell at the receiving station, to tell someone to be sure to have paper on the drum for a soon-to-be-incoming message. The pencil was held by electromagnets (or something similar) so that with current applied (miles away), the pencil would be pressed into the paper on the drum, and when the current was interrupted, the pencil would rapidly retract.
Then the sender would run their rack (or drum) of dots and dashes over the contacts, which, miles away, completed the circuit around the pencil and caused it to write long and short marks (the dashes and dots), separated by empty white space, on the drum's paper. People at the receiving end would then use the code-sheet to change the drum's paper's dots and dashes back into letters.
At the time of Morse code's inception, nobody knew that the process of changing letters into dots-and-dashes at the sending-station and the process of changing dots-and-dashes back into letters at the receiving-station would soon be done without cheat-sheets by people who could do it entirely in their head, FROM MEMORY of the code-sheet, and IN REAL TIME, which made sending a Morse message more like talking back and forth and less like typesetting a broadside for a printing-press.

30:18 miss translation bro
(Japanese)「いわゆる特許をオープンにしたことで...」
(English)”We decided to launch it in Tokyo..." -> "Because we made the patent open for everyone to use...”

12:05 I just scanned the QR code out of curiosity LOL
Version 1: I'm the OG
Version 2: I'm a bog-standard QR code
