Last I heard I was pretty sure he was living in New Zealand or something.

For their sake hope he's moved on since then.

why is he even doing any of this? Did someone doubt the number of views on one of his posts so he just demanded this feature?

I said this earlier-- he's stupid and insecure, and on some level he knows he's Twitter is nosediving as a direct result of his purchase, and he's desperately trying to pretend things are just fine:

Does it count views from people without accounts? And non-unique views? Because it seems like it would be trivial to script something to wildly inflate that metric.

I can just picture where this will end:

Get ready for the cutting edge Tesla Coal! The first all electric vehicle charged entirely by a on board coal power plant! Some sacrifices had to be made for this revolutionary vehicle, you need to tow a coal car for fuel, and the entirety of the former passenger compartment is now filled with the boiler and fire box, but that means you get to ride on the roof and experience the lib owning black smoke firsthand. Of course, the Tesla Coal still features its signature 18560 filled battery pack, but when combined with the boiler and firebox of the Tesla Coal you can be assured that in the event of a accident, not only you, but everyone in a one block radius will burn. Serves 'em right!

How exactly would you expect to do that, use some type of light-based system to detect objects and identify their range rather than depending on video-based identification? Pfft, c'mon :jerkbag:

Yeah, eBay did a similar thing recently and it had people melting down. They changed the view count on listings to reflect actual humans purposely visiting a listing. Tons of idiot sellers thought that the lower numbers somehow meant that eBay was shadowbanning them. Just the stupidest people.

if you're wondering how exactly of about a bazillion sites with copyright violation megaupload was the one targeted, they uh actually never complied with copyright claims other than deleting the url

they kept the copyrighted material on their servers and had an internal search engine specifically for material they had claims against for so they could download it easier

Probably not anything anyone in this thread needs confirmation about but Kim Dotcom's ramblings about suing the gov't for anything is pure legal gibberish. Any lawyer who signs their name to such a complaint would likely get Rule 11 sanctioned immediately.

He probably has no intention of going through with it and is just virtue signalling. If it leads to a bunch of chuds donating to his legal fund then even better.

How does this guy think the system identifies pedestrians? Does he really think it would identify them by like looking for swinging arms and legs vs being worried about literally any object coming into view? Like does he think it's fine if it hits like a bollard, or a dumpster rolling out of a driveway?
