In reality, everyone should use securities backed loans. You have no choice but to change. I used to be starving. You can’t be a poor anymore.

I pay $30/hr tips, but only count the time they are with me and not helping others. Which is about 5 minutes or less…

He got feet inside just past the security gate and got a visual on nobody in particular and named nobody in particular and there is no conclusive evidence he fired any bullets. He might as well have stayed home and played in his yard, not even close.

No purportedly related attack seemingly has been directed or credible. They all were terrible and not even remotely close, so it’s either fake, unrelated, or a false flag.

Doesn’t apply to streaming media. You’re free to cache your media if you can store it, since you own it, but that’s not true of all people and all media. How does steam verify you own something from gog if gog shuts down? They don’t unless a distributed ledger exists, then they could.

Just FYI, it’s a fun mental exercise to dream up I suppose. I don’t have all the answers and if it were easy it’d already exist.
You have to subscribe to the host. Your token gives them legal authority to get it and stream to you. In the original example, you can buy from anyone, and the token is auth’d by warner brothers and ultimately they got paid for it. In theory, the original distributor auths the token and gets money for their product directly from consumers instead of via corporate license or profit share. The difference is, any host would have legal authority to stream it and in theory they could get it from any other host in the network at that point, not just the original distributor, because you have a valid ownership token. This means they cannot cancel on you or force you to move hosts, like they can today. And again, it requires both a tech and legal framework to work, but it is fundamentally different than anything that exists today. You’d be legally free to cache a copy if you want, since you own it, or just cache it from your subscribed streaming host. Nobody should care how you get it, just that you are allowed to have it and you paid for it and you pay for streaming service if you want to stream. The service itself should be vastly cheaper, because they don’t have a large media cost, just network and storage costs. The host network would likely have to run on some version of torrent with chain Auth integration. The original distributor can’t be the final arbiter of ownership nor the only host or expected to host forever, as they could dissolve and media could end up in limbo. Again, every detail isn’t needed, we’re not solving this over night, but a distributed ledger of ownership is step 1 of how you buy something and have everyone have even a chance of knowing you own it without both a central authority and the ability for them to unilaterally take it away. This could apply to your copy of Robocop and your stock in Amazon.

It allows you to easily move to another host which isn’t otherwise possible. Your criticisms are endemic to all media, so are moot. You personally don’t have to stream, you can buy a physical copy and rip it and store it locally, be my guest.

No, it seems you and many others fundamentally misunderstand that a blockchain is a distributed ledger as primary functionality, not a data store as such. It stores proof of ownership, that you purchased it from an authorized registered distributor, that’s it. Just to be thorough, all ledgers require further external consensus for functionality.
In this case, a service (who stores and sends the big file) must recognize your token as ownership. What this solves is that when movie x is bought from Amazon and moves to Streamio and then moves to Paramount, you can load your token into Paramount and Paramount can see your token was created by warner brothers, so they can legally serve you Blazing Saddles without contacting Amazon or Streamio, which since has gone out of business.
Today, when they move licenses or whatever else happens, you lose whatever you bought. With a distributed ledger you automatically have proof of purchase to any entity that is able and willing (or legally forced) to use that ledger for validation, and no single entity can just erase your ownership like they can and do today.

Games are just story+art+button timing+math. Mmo’s almost entirely remove button timing, and what is left is extremely formulaic. Given that, number go up isn’t worth anyone’s thousands of hours, and neither is the overall content. I know, as I had the hours and the same epiphany.

I think there are 2 types of drm, one is invasive and the other is permissive. Everything needs some sort of Auth and permission drm, and usually it sits in a company dB and if they go under or remove it, you lose Auth. I think that type of system can be better under a blockchain model, moving universal ownership to a decentralized ledger. Services still must recognize the ledger as valid, but then no single provider is the arbiter of your ownership and Auth.

Yes it needs support, as almost all blockchains do, they are public consensus models. All it needs is for a token to connect to a specific piece of media. You prove ownership of that token and the streaming service honors your ownership. You move steaming services? They still honor your ownership. Likely also needs legislative support to enforce honoring the token and enforce studios to provide same access to all distributors.

This is where blockchains can be useful.

There is no chance they do ff4 or ff6 justice on a remake. Ff6 is so large that it’d probably be split up into 10 episodes as well.

Interesting project. Very very hard to get into. I wish they had more examples of distributions if you have a lot accumulated VS new members VS old members VS someone who had a lot but spent it all. They say it all converges but it’s not well documented.

This is wrong. You cannot imagine what you cannot imagine. Psychedelics definitely allow you to imagine what you previously could not.

Not sure I agree. I think it’s likely too much for an adult as a sole source even if it’s good for children since they get so much more input. I’ve tried and I needed a lot lot lot less and slower input. Sometimes 20-30% speed. Don’t get me wrong, I love the concept and I wish there were more high quality resources for this. But I think most adults need to start more basic than basic TV.

What color is the wiki page around it then? Ultra white? Or even in dark mode the blown out lighting on the right side is white as well. It’s surely not the same as the dress. Just go get a crayon from the box to compare.

Which is fine. You’d think they’d just refine those further. Today we’d have ultra efficient tanks that take little water, little energy, and never break.

That was horseshit with multiple different pictures being used with different levels, confusing people to death about what others had reported seeing. It’s easy to white balance the blue back to white which with the yellow orange lighting reflections on the black, saturated up the yellow lighting to look more gold. Nobody with normal vision both looking at the same original picture claims the blue part is white.
