VideoGameVet posted:I work with a company that puts a digital signature (hash) of the item into the NFT, so even if the URL goes dark, as long as you have the item somewhere you can verify that it is identical to the one that existed when the NFT was minted. Does your company also have a lead on NFTs actually being anything more than "Hey guys this picture of Kermit loving Miss Piggy is totally mine forever, So Says The BLOCKCHAIN, no I didn't draw it or commission it why do you ask?"

Freakazoid_ posted:Wasn't cryptocurrency designed to be untraceable? The whole point was to provide a currency outside of government control using anonymity. And yet here the feds are, tracking people and their monopoly money down. That alone should've ended the charade. It was never meant to be untraceable, it was meant to be anonymous and decentralized. Not anonymous in the sense of "but how did they know that I paid for child porn if they knew what my wallet was?!" but in the sense of not requiring anyone to know anything about you to create your own wallet. How you get the butts into and out of that wallet is up to you. Volmarias fucked around with this message at 07:36 on Apr 16, 2021 |

Mister Facetious posted:Not saying you have to charge more, just match uber prices but give 99% of it to the drivers. I believe Uber currently pays drivers MORE than the revenue, because they're blowing through VC capital to try to run any competitors out of business and then make themselves the only game in town. You're somewhat constrained by the network effect on this too. Also, lol if you think "uh guys it's JUST a FEW servers and a couple nerds, how hard could this be?" when Uber is now (unfortunately) one of the top tech talent pools. P.S. your drivers will come with a $50 phone that was last updated 4 years ago, enjoy the absolute hell of compatibility with older devices.

For example, they are only allowed to store four emails on their work computers at any one time. The rest must be archived, and access to archived emails has to be formally requested.[3] In addition, certain portions of the labs and offices are accessible only to employees with the relevant access card. Any attempts to visit these areas without permission will be met with lethal force. Aesthetically pleasing inboxes

Solkanar512 posted:The platform is called “MyIR.” Here’s their privacy policy: https://app.myirmobile.com/privacy-policy I went through and read the whole thing. It's reasonable. They need to share information about you to the health department if they want to say you've been vaccinated. It enumerates what, how and with who the info is shared, such as for analytics. The only caveats are that if the company gets bought or something then the privacy policy no longer counts, and a California resident note about requesting the info they provided to advertise to you. I suspect the latter is boilerplate. Fame Douglas posted:Most keyless entry systems are hilariously insecure, they're not adding to the security. Yeah, there's this too. When I got my car the salesman looked at me like I had a second head when I tried explaining that I don't actually want keyless.

Space Gopher posted:Are you disputing that the privacy policy allows the use of family health information for advertising, or are you saying that it’s perfectly reasonable for a state government to say “if you want to access your state vaccination record, you have to let this third party use your health records for advertising, and share your ‘de-identified’ personal info with whatever business partners they want”? This is meant to cover things like call to action email from them about something or other. Critically, it does NOT include providing it to third parties. The subdomain etc bit is so that there's no gold fringe complaints that nerds.com was given this info but mail.nerds.com was not and furthermore A lot of this, including 'aggregation' involves writing out very explicitly that they're going to stick Google Analytics on their page without having to specify exactly how that happens. They can tell investors that there's 50000 users who blah blah blah E: to clarify it sucks that they needed a third party to do this but the privacy policy isn't terrible per se, and honestly it's information they could already probably aggregate about you (e.g. Target knowing you're pregnant before you tell anyone) There's stuff that's WAY worse out there, and this probably includes stuff that your government wants you to use because they want someone else to be a payment processor for parking tickets Volmarias fucked around with this message at 03:33 on Jun 24, 2021 |

I don't think that one's actually happened, fortunately. Clarste posted:I would venture a guess that the police almost never get involved in copyright disputes. Most disputes probably begin and end with a cease and desist letter and a strongly worded threat of legal action. The police are an arm of the state meant to enforce judgement made by the courts, which is why you can't just declare bankruptcy like Michael Scott and just walk away from all your problems.
