I don’t even think the business software side is that problematic for a lot of good use cases, it’s the general non user friendliness of wallets and having to guard your seed phrase properly and just general technical knowledge.

As soon as your concert ticket is an NFT people can risk losing their ticket, and people will lose tickets.

Making the ticket and scanning the ticket for entry isnt too difficult a problem, and it’s entirely fraud proof.

Edit: and so many people get scammed out of their seed phrases while trying to get help because they just don’t understand.

They could (but didnt) do it with zero knowledge proofs as well. Then the website could go back and verify against the state site and no private information would be leaked.

The state would know the site requesting it via IP, but they wouldn’t know which proof they were validating.

It’s often talked about in the blockchain crypto space, but it’s not the only way to use them. You could use it in a centralized system like this too.

They might get processed via the visa network, but the money is still leaving your bank account. Visa never really had it.

So now you gotta deal with visa and your bank to get something back that was stolen, and no, you aren’t ending up with the same protections. They aren’t as motivated as none of them are out the money.

If it was a credit transaction, the credit card company is out the money, and if you say it’s fraud and refuse to pay them, well now they are on the hook. They’re now motivated to determine if it was fraud or not as their money is on the line. Also, they now lose out on a potential customer that gives them high interest on debt if they dont undo it (because most people don’t pay off their credit cards). There’s no debt when it’s a debit card and transaction fees are smaller so they earn less from you.

Edit: and even IF you get the money back, it’s going to take a lot longer, and that money is gone in the meantime. Needed it for rent? Sorry the fraud investigation takes 2 months. With credit, your rent money isn’t gone.

(NotOP) these things will usually use cryptographic signatures and if the app has been altered, it’d fail the check.

No clue what they are specifically doing though.

It’s just that the usecase (NFTs) were terrible.

It’s the use case for digital images.

NFTs in general are still cool. Concert tickets, tokenzied stocks, land ownership, car ownership, digital keys (that can open digital or physical things), digital IDs, it’s endless what can be done with them, but it’s a long way until some of these things get adopted.

It absolutely can be done with zero knowledge proofs, but it needs to be from an authoritative source.

It could prove you are over the age of 18 (or 21) without having to divulge any other sensitive information, and be untrackable between sites or any outside agency (e.g government doesn’t know and can’t know you visited a site or location that verifies your age)

They could add it to our drivers licenses or passports or whatever which would cover the authoritative part. Your ID is an NFT at that point, and could be fully digital.

Edit: they might even tie generating the proof to requiring a biometric verification (fingerprint) so you can’t give your ID to someone else.

I actually did try watching a bit of it, and while I love the idea of it, I can’t stand the length they make it due to the reality tv show.

It just drags on and on.

If they’d made them 30-40 minute episodes instead of an hour I might have liked it.

My money is on 3 months after the first release of a FROM title on PC, sony will come in and force them to create a sony account with crazy DRM to play it.

Then after the outrage from that, force it on all previous FROM titles.

I love the game, that show sounds really fun!

Interesting, had no idea about its origin story.

Also… of course

In June 2006 a Rockingham school inquiry was launched after parents complained of the traumatic effects classroom Mafia was having on their fifth-grade children. Davidoff responded to the reports, saying that as a parent who had studied child psychology for 25 years, he felt that the game could “teach kids to distinguish right from wrong”, and that the positive message of being honest could overcome the negative effects of an “evil narrator” moderating the game as if it were a scary story.

Of all the games they try to demonize, they demonize a game type people have played at home for decades at parties, in person, with no computers.

Brilliant.

90s house party game here, I’m sure people played it earlier.

don’t give them any ideas

is this not about pirating if it’s a single player game?

Steam charts taught me about the banana game.

The internet is weird.

I think the title need a little work…

How can I prove I’m dead?

Someone else can, but the title says I have to.

They should almost just make it so the blaze plan of firebase or other cloud services has a $1 non refundable pre-payment so they can just whittle away at the pennies instead of getting charged processing/transaction fees on a $0.01 transaction. Tops up to $1 if it goes to $0

I think people would pay $1 to enable the paid plans. If you’re going that far, you’re getting $1 of use out of it.

I’ve had Google charge me $0.01 before for firebase usage.

They really should have waited until I owed more since that cost them money.

I’d never even heard of this before. Wtf

It’s a invite only alpha and as I write this it’s #7 on the steam rankings of current players, 6 if you wanna exclude Banana which is it’s own hilarious thing

Dota 2 is #2 and has 565k right now

Don’t we tame and capture Yoshi? Heh

My current PC was at the end of AM4 from AMD, and now it’s nearing end of AM5.

I gotta break out of this cycle if I can wait until am6, I think I can though.

all kinds of sources and sales

Looks at steam library with dozens of unplayed games purchased on sale

IF you’re correct, then hasbro would just force them to fix it, and it’d become a never ending game of whack a mole, where probably every update has to break existing mods based on the hack to further disuade people.

So, I tried to watch it…

The non English parts with the aliens wouldn’t show the subtitles no matter what I did.

I wasn’t the only one having that trouble

Wtf am i going to watch something where I can’t understand important scenes?

50 US based devs earning 10 million, so let’s get 150 outsourced devs making 0.5 million!

Oh shit that didn’t work? Okay let’s get 300 outsourced devs making 1 million!

That’s sure to make things better!

I don’t know what the situation is today, but I had to build a new computer during the end of the series for the AMD chips and have a 5800x

I know they have since released some newer chips for that motherboard series for gaming, but I’m now on a cycle of when I may want to upgrade its near the end of a cycle.

Kinda annoying.

Ah my bad, you’re right.

Then you’ll probably get shanked if any of the other inmates find out you were sent there for CP.

Have the AI try to recreate existing CP already deemed to have serious value and then have all the prompts/variations leading up to the closest match as part of an exhibit.

Edit: I should add, don’t try this at home, they’ll still probably say it has no value and throw you in jail.

There has been yes, but it doesn’t mean it’s the right ruling law. The law varies on that by jurisdiction as well because it is a murky area.

Edit: in the USA it might not even be illegal unless there was intent to distribute

By the statute’s own terms, the law does not make all fictional child pornography illegal, only that found to be obscene or lacking in serious value. The mere possession of said images is not a violation of the law unless it can be proven that they were transmitted through a common carrier, such as the mail or the Internet, transported across state lines, or of an amount that showed intent to distribute.[

So local AI generating fictional material that is not distributed may be okay federally in the USA.

It’s actually not clear that viewing material leads that person to causing in person abuse

Providing non harmful ways to access the content may lead to less abuse as the content they seek no longer comes from abuse, reducing demand for abusive content.

That being said, this instance isn’t completely fabricated and given its further release is harmful as it it involves a real person and will have emotional impact.

It took me dozens of runs to even realize that was happening. It really doesn’t feel incomplete.

I’m 67 or something like that in, and just found a new NPC

They’ve done the incomplete artwork well.

For example, a lot of the characters you meet along the way during your runs have the same hooded NPC model. Those are all incomplete.

When you actually talk to them, most of them have the static artwork done though.

There was some back testing around the 4% rule, and for a normal retirement 4% was okay and historically only failed a couple times if you started in a specific month of a specific year and changed nothing as things turned bad.

For a longer term early retirement, 3.5% never failed.

Obviously, past performance cannot guarantee future performance, but $35,000 a year would probably be fine from that mil.

And this is assuming a properly diversified portfolio

Loved this when it was new!! Highly recommend it.

You can say what you want about cutting something like the supercharger network and how that can be bad for Tesla, but that can be managed to some extent. Cutting off internships like this is long term a very bad thing. Companies like this need young talent and this is an amazing way to foster and grow that. This can be devastating to their long term future potential.

Ah gotcha. If that had been sold as a DLC it would probably have been the most comprehensive DLC I’ve ever seen.

How the hell do you make that game in 18 months?! Wow

Can I start banking time now so when I spend it then and stay up way too late, I’m not tired the next day?
