I don't like the idea of charging content providers. Average people can post videos to YouTube for free. If YouTube has to pay for your content, they may cut off uploading videos by average people. Newpapers are busy shutting down and they are content providers.

Honestly it’s a fantastic use case - particularly if they figured out how to give a unique NFT (non serialized) for music on decentralized storage - without a normative data structure. And jf they could revoke it for subscription services, even better.
If they can’t do either of these things, they should dm me - I have the patent to pull this off.
Edit: just read it. Players cards..? Seriously..? How lame.

While most current NFTs are stupid, and the rest are barely better than that, NFTs in the future will have value. It’s only a matter of time before they start becoming mainstream keys to digital locks.

Market cap is akin to net worth, not their annual income. Their annual income is 4.39B. This is akin to a $75k annual income, hit with a $3000 fine.

Impossible due to the SCROTUS rulings on qualified immunity which doesn't even exist in the underlying legislation. You can't get busted as a cop for screwing over a citizen unless there's case law in that court circuit specifically declaring what the cops did before is not allowed. But you can't get that ruling made until another ruling is made before saying the same thing already. So you can never get a ruling at all.

Once one company implements NFTs the rest will follow. Only a matter of time.

Cops need to be held accountable to knowing the law. It is completely sickening a defense for police officers is “I didn’t know”.

Can we please stop this bullshit and just force these companies to invest their massive profits instead of letting big tech do so?

don't really get why i saw this had been downvoted, you're right on:
>We don't need Google; Google needs us (the actual end-users).
what is a big ad network without people using it?
also we developed Focus, which sounds like it could be something you're into.

>If the average American was even aware of the extent to which their privacy has been invaded there would be rioting in the streets.
Yeah, nah. I'd bet that you wouldn't either even if people were rioting on the streets. You'd type out a comment on Reddit, and that would be that.

They already charge to receive traffic and charge the customer for delivery. Like if UPS was charging the shipper and recipient then complaining that shippers should also pay to upgrade their infrastructure. They want to triple dip on each byte served.
