Not really. Access to the content referred to by the NFT happens at the whim of the platform. That gives them the ultimate leverage. In this case, transfer doesn't amount to much if the "object" is rendered useless.

I don't Rust, but if I had to guess, it helps keep you from defining operators that don't make sense. Like a + that actually means concat. You could still do that, but now you'd be implementing it as something you're c

That's the other reason I hate NFT. The only plausible use case is as a terrible DRM key.

Multiple things bouncing in my head. I missed the mark a little on the particular flavor of doom being courted -- TFA mentions the area is ritually associated with an entity called the "Great Water Snake".

And it's J+J's name that goes in the headline. It wasn't even their fault. At least they didn't somehow cram the AZ connection in there too, though I'm sure other outlets are working on it.

Well... things did get kind of fishy with Waze after Google bought it. Waze made money by showing you ads for things along your route when you weren't moving. How do you maximize the dollar signs in that equation? Maybe they stopped do

This was no mystery. I'm pretty sure I saw a giant photo of a Coke bottle on Unsplash not that long ago. It has plenty of corporate users, and not in some secret shill sense, in a "This post from Docusign" kind of way.
