You are editorializing with your copypasta. The author is saying that the NFT does none of that. > It records a crytocurrency transaction and appends arbitrary data to the transaction. That's it. > None of those functions are inh

Without actual data this is just a debate without substance. At least my anecodal evidence is backed by something real. The racism argument seems to come up every time a minority group splits from the path laid out for them.

Are you saying that CVS has been turning away brown people who want covid shots or are you just parroting rhetoric without really knowing or looking into the true root cause of this issue? Yes. My firsthand anecdotal conversations with blac

Nope, still haven't seen this as a thing. There are still drugstores and doctors offices which have vaccines in these poor areas that give the shots for free. Not getting the shot is a deliberate choice and it's not racism that is

Where are vaccines being denied? I haven't seen this as a thing even in the reddest states.

The problem is the child's mind vs the bidirectional feedback drip. I don't think these two devices are in the same class in respect to this.

Yes, though these are linked. Attention is the goal while addiction is the means.

Yes absolutely TV and radio use algorithms to boost engagement. These are still dangerous, just less. The difference is the speed at which these sources collect and use information and the volume of data collected. It isn't just that t

Respectfully, these examples- radio and TV aren't even in the same league as the manipulation and engagement that comes from the algorithmic feedback loop that backs these services. The comparison is dangerously dismissive.

Yes. People talk about addiction to social media or other attention-farming software, but not many people really take it seriously. People think they are unicorns and while some can get addicted or manipulated-- they think "not me. I

It is weird to me that someone can watch their kid (I know that this is a godparent) go down this path and not intervene. If the cause of dropping out really was distraction, it is sad that the parent didn't take the device from the ch

Which states are these that should have less power than the states with the "smart" people?

Mostly agree. It is unfortunate that the methods used by the messenger add distractions to the situation. The point I am trying to make is the ends don't absolve the hacker from consequences. Ransomware operators often blame their vic

This sounds similar to justification used by ransomware groups.

> kept going for another 10 days This is the problem I have. They kept going without permission. Leaving your key in the door doesn't give someone the moral authority to go through your house and look for other issues.

I agree mostly. I don't think an unsanctioned assessment that goes this deep is pure white hat. It seems firmly gray to me. > PCI and all of those other security protocols and programs don't draw the line at white-hat access vs

A vulnerability or a breach?

by batch12 5y ago
So the breach referenced was a breach by the researchers, not a malicious third party (that we know of)? I would have called it exposure or a vulnerability since breach has a specific meaning that I am not sure this fits. Maybe I am being p

Or on the same blockchain, you could sell NFTs that represent popular NFTs.

Maybe, but is blurry CSAM still CSAM? If not, then they could just distribute the blurry thumbnails instead of this hash.

by batch12 5y ago
The reversible restriction is important because otherwise distributing PhotoDNA signatures of CSAM is distributing CSAM.

What we have been taught or what we understand about cryptography is just as important to discuss. What you said sounds a bit like "let the adults talk" and is condescending.

I think of it like an offscreen rendering. I can see it in my mind and if I space out I begin focusing on the second screen instead of the first. In those fleeting moment I can only describe it as not seeing anything with my eyes, only my m

Yes, I have made a few censorship resistant solutions that I won't post here because of this. No reason to dare devs to start cat-n-mousing me -- or get arbitrarily banned from unrelated services because someone gets upset.

You could have made this point without the flamebait.
