   I think a lot of what people are complaining about is that the third act of a lot of big movies is just "...and then they all have a big fight". I've never heard anybody complain about the extensive VFX in The Wolf of Wall St

   The weird thing about the current homepage (at least the version I see in the UK) is it shows me lots of pictures of products, but without any description. So I just see lots of eg. grey cuboids with buttons and lights. Do they expect me to

   I had a quick google and found a set for rent at 13900 SEK per day, which is apparently about $1500.

   Rio was apparently Quantel's last ever product, released seven years ago. These days I don't think there's any reason to use specialist computing hardware, although if you're high-end you'd have a bunch of specialis

   Never tried it. For recording (which I have to admit I haven't done any of for a while) I mostly use Ardour.

   > colour grading a commercially-released movie I'm wondering if you deliberately picked an example where the undisputed industry standard runs on Linux.

   I believe Premiere is very popular for mid-range stuff, but it's not really the "industry standard". If that was anything, I think it'd probably be Avid Media Composer. Linux has (freemium / non-Free) Davinci Resolv

   I admit my eyes glazed over half way through, but this[1] seems to suggest their "transcopyright" system incorporates permissions and micropayment systems. [1] https://xanadu.com/tco/index.html

   Thank you! My initial idea of what NFTs were was that they were like a free copyright registry, and as far as that goes, I don't really see a problem (although it seems like a rather over-engineered solution).

    I'm not sure if I'm understanding you or not. I can see that if there's an NFT minted in eg 2020 and no record of the associated work existing prior to that, that provides a bit of evidence in favour of the (earliest) NFT hol

    That is indeed one word. However it's a compound of two words, one of which is itself a contraction of two other words.

    Did it? Today's computers are mostly descendents of more heavyweight '80s computers. I know there are like a few C64s running webservers and stuff for kicks. Home computers were good for games or learning to program, not sure they

    Don't know about pilots, but I'd think doctors and actors are near the extreme ends of the age discrimination spectrum. Ie. being an old doctor makes you credible, being an old actor (or especially actress) severely impinges on yo

    It seems relevant that Jimi Hendrix only made it in the US as a "British invasion" act, after breaking through in the UK and securing the enthusiastic backing of McCartney, Clapton etc.

    I loved the doc, my slight disappointment is that this was a relatively conventional period, compared to the couple of years before. No insight into how you end up with brilliant, sonically outlandish stuff like Strawberry Fields, Tomorrow

    I don't know anything about anything, but I see Wikipedia says Tether is 65% "backed by commercial paper". Which as far as I can tell basically means IOUs, but IOUs that are considered somewhat legit. It definitely seems ques

    Well, I'm suspecting "CSAM is used as an argument by authoritarians wanting to ban math" wasn't really a good faith argument either. Either way good day to you too.

    Do you not think it's possible some people genuinely don't want children to be assaulted, and perhaps (in some cases) care more about that then they do about the sanctity of mathematics or whatever? Perhaps I'm naive but it s

    If this is sarcasm, then I'd point out that link doesn't work here. If it isn't, I'd point out there are still numerous Pirate Bay mirrors I can access. Either way, I wish it were generally easier to discern which commen

    I don't think reductio ad absurdum is normally considered a logical fallacy? Maybe it's more like the fallacy of composition.

    Legally speaking, the Land Registry (in my country) is the arbiter of whether or not I own my house. Because of, like, the law. There is no corresponding law that says owning an NFT means I own [any rights to] an artwork.

    You own the token, but only "own" the art.
