Addressable market for vaccines is larger than treatments: all population vs. those get sick Also vaccines as those we have today are recurrent revenue: one shot every 6 / 12 months?

There are no exemptions to enter the country without vaccination? He followed the wrong protocol? Is there a different path he should have followed?

My point is that he had followed the stablished process to request an exemption and it was granted. He didn’t get special treatment because the application process is blind.

He had followed all the rules apparently. He had been granted an exception reviewed by two independent panels as required by Australian authorities. Decision backed by the Victorian Dep. of Health. The process is blind so supposedly the aut

Fortnite made $50 million selling NFL skins alone: https://www.sportskeeda.com/amp/fortnite/the-fortnite-skin-g... And the total sales volume since release is in the billions. Maybe a generational thing?

Sure, but It won’t be minted with the same BAYC contract and hence won’t have same provenance. Twitter could easily add visual or text (e.g: logo name of author / collection) provenance info that yours won’t have.

A QR code is a number too and not a very large one. Small enough I think to fit on-chain in the tokenURI field of an ERC721 contract. Not eve need of ipfs or arweave to store an image. Yep, if someone else tries to access with your ticket y

Ticketmaster is the middleman. NFTs skip all of that and give much more flexibility to the issuer. You can code anything you want in the smart contract. Variable royalties depending on when is sold, increasing royalties on each transaction…

No infrastructure in venues integrating NFTs but it’s no different than a traditional ticket. Your NFT could have an associated QR code read at the door. In case of conflict there’s only one owner with access to the associated wallet and wi

There are some aspects of the pfp trend that I also don’t like. On the other hand, it’s helping to onboard (wallet, security, metamask…) more people into crypto than any other use case before. Many ready to go beyond collectables.

They could easily show provenance info (author or collection name) in addition to the badge. Your fake image will be spot quickly.

It’s not cynical when looking at the incentives. Once a rule is in place for “safety” reasons the political cost to remove is really high (what if something bad happens?). Politicians won’t touch it. That’s why I think exceptional measures

Artificial scarcity works pretty well in the physical world. See limited edition products: cars, sneakers, books, collectable card games like Pokemon, Magic, Yugioh, limited print runs of art pieces… Value is the scarcity not the physical s

I think it's probably indicative of a trend that Tesla doesn't want to incentivize any further. Tesla's mission is all about moving away from fossil fuels. Prior, lean was towards renewable sources like hydro because of lower

Scale and expansion plans only became available on recent S4 filing. That’s new info. Tesla probably doesn’t want to contribute to the trend and hence the change of heart.

I’m a big fan of David Goggings and the self reliance messaging. A treasure. He should be getting more attention but I guess he runs a bit against mainstream narratives. A taste: https://twitter.com/davidgoggins/status&

NFTs are probably more similar to baseball cards and other collectables than you give credit. I can easily find an image on any card and print it. Still we value the original. NFTs are a proof the you own an original and not a copy. A piece

Nice. I’ve been always curious but also worried about alienating myself. Any communities of GA users out there to feel connected?

The Quest comes with a WebXR capable browser. There are a few sites with adult 360 video out there you can visit. Someone could potentially make an interactive experience. WebXR is very capable. We built https://moonrider.xyz&#x2

Lynx is awesome. I pre-ordered my unit and looking forward to it. In your latest video update you mentioned the possibility of licensing and white labeling the headset. Who is the best contact to talk about options?

by dmarcos 6y ago
Best is to try. If you have an Oculus Quest handy you can give supermedium demo a try. Your feedback would be super appreciated. With a headset you get better ergonomics: resize and position a display at will and don’t have to hold anything

Current headsets resolution is already surprisingly good with some dev tricks. We use something called Compositor Layers at https://supermedium.com/ to render comic books in VR that look sharp and vivid. Not “retina” resol

A VR headset can also give you a single good display on demand. What about reading a 100” mural scale comic book while laying down in bed?

You could potentially always have with you as many displays you want to whatever size you prefer and use them wherever you like: desk, couch, laying in bed... VR / AR Headsets can be a more convenient and comfortable replacement for tr

No siesta. Commute and some do homework during that time. Kids with both parents working stay at school cantine and lunch break is socializing / sports. I used play basketball during that time.
