So everyone in the world changing their clocks is easier than having a summer schedule at a business where they open one hour earlier? Many businesses have different schedules on the weekend, I think people could cope with summer hours. Esp

If it ever becomes worth anything to the world as a whole it will be because decentralized tools finally took over.

So? You can buy "counterfeit" or "stolen" art at many galleries. But if you care about the artist enough to want to donate I imagine you're more familiar with their work than all that.

> You misunderstand. NFTs grant you absolutely no rights to anything. NFTs provide the right to whatever they control. If you buy a software license via NFT, it will unlock the software. You can prove this before buying. NFTs to show you

If those are prison fences then why don't Jordan and Egypt cut them along their borders and let the Palestinians out?

Don't the people of those countries deserve a way to defend the infrastructure they build? And no, investing in things like that for a country rarely helps. Instead either buy or sell products to them, that necessitates a road but now

Killing Saddam didn't require locking all the Baathists in prison together with other criminals and letting them foment revolution. Killing Saddam didn't require trying to hand control back over to the Iraqis way too early, over a

Interesting, uncopyrightable art. As a product of slavishly following directions it by definition isn't creative. The directions are, but the directions can be rewritten and still produce the same product.

DRM keeps people from viewing/using something, and can (often does) keep a legitimate owner from using it. And NFT does not, it only lets you prove (to anyone who cares) that you have a granted right to the product. You should apprecia

Either you don't, and can't, or you build a special script with a revocation list run by trusted 'Oracles' who would essentially notarize a legal claim by the artist into a blocklist of image hashes, or a whitelist of wh

What happens if you drop your print in a puddle and it's destroyed, but you still have the proof of authenticity in your pocket? While the artist is alive, they'll probably replace it at cost. But after the artist is gone the cert

It's literally impossible for someone without the purchaser's key to pretend to be the purchaser. That's 1000x what a receipt proves. Whatever their flaws, NFTs are perfect proof of ownership of the token...

Contract law can require you to hop on one foot. But what rights would you need to go to court for? The point of an NFT is that the provided rights are exercisable without further permission. Also, if the author wanted to control the NFT th

But that's not how NFTs are being used now. For one, who would issue the Mona Lisa NFT, the Louvre, or Leonardo's family, or the family of his patron at the time? An NFT can't clear up a murky issue anymore than me writing yo

Yeah, but the crypto world is dominated by fraud. Things like Tether where they print billions of 100% unbacked tokens claiming they're backed and then use the money to wash-trade between exchanges all day. Not to mention that centrali

I haven't heard anything about NDAs that prevent you talking about the general area of your work at any of Musk's companies. There are certainly people on LinkedIn talking about what they do. Look at any FAANG presentation. The VP

Do you use that to adjust your opinion of Trump and of what you're told he said, or do you just assume that he wanted auto-cannons but couldn't ask for them? Lol, I'll take that as a strong 'No'.

Good point, but it raises the issue of checklists. If this area is too dangerous to tweak, how do you take care to avoid manual versions of these mistakes? Is there a step to search for words in the wrong case? Usually you'll find that

You're not saying that the new idea wouldn't be right, but that there could be complexities the outsider would miss. I don't think anyone would disagree. But variables vs rewritten names (for example) would still be the right

That's the theory, but once UBI is a right it'll be easier to demand more than to supplement with a job. The experiments show nothing about the lasting effects of mass UBI. The two main problems that make the experiments meaningle

Serious question: why use a tool like Figma that can capture so much detail? Don't you feel like it's implementing it twice? As compared to a napkin sketch that lets you see the detail you care about, but without less fussing to g

If you use secure protocols then the VPNs ISP should have no way of linking your good with your bad browsing, whereas your ISP sees where the cable is running from and can link everything you view (as far as the IP or hostname at any rate.)

They won't, for quite a while because it's good strategy. Don't let your opponent know they're trapped until the very end. Had the government gone all-in trying to stop piracy, or drugs, back in the day they'd have

Why are you discussing the military of Myanmar if you don't at some level agree (with xxpor below) that might solves conflicts even if it doesn't establish right. If you're so egalitarian as to ask the question, why not go
