Literally patent pending.

Have you heard of the analog hole? Or wondered how your TV can display things like volume changes over the program you're watching?

It's also an indefinite cost. It's not like Valve decides to stop hosting a game they've sold after a while. Generally speaking, they store and host it forever even if they never get revenue from sales of it ever again. Of course, I'm sure if the revenue wanes that much that downloads will too, but there's definitely a crossover point where maintenance will start being a permanent negative cashflow. Now multiply that across tens to hundreds of thousands of games and counting. Forever. You kind of have to consider that for the long term when setting your pricing for today since sales cuts are the only revenue you get.

Yeah, that's the gravity of things that people don't seem to understand. Yes, there can be unwanted side effects from puberty blockers, but they are relatively minor. On the other hand, one possible side effect for people that are willing to brave those puberty blocker side effects but aren't allowed to do so is suicide. This is unfortunately often life or death.

Blockchain is the shitty reinvention of PGP, my dude. I don't agree to this silly retronym for nearly 50 year old cryptographic methods. Yes, if you remove all the supposed advancements and advantages of blockchain, you're left with the cryptographic foundation which was the only thing that had merit. Congratulations.

It's not a blockchain. It's closer to a series of forwarded emails with certificate signing. Who gets to add the next record? How about the party that is doing that step of processing in the supply chain. And I have a great idea for protecting the keys. It's called asymmetric key pairs. You can verify a signature using a public key without having the private key required to be able to generate that signature.

Yeah, you would only need to have every single private key for all nodes that follow you in the supply chain. Super trivial.

You could do literally the same thing with a series of private key signed envelopes containing the prior chain of signed content. Boom, verifiable chain of custody without any rainforests being burned down.

Right? Computer opponents in Starcraft are AI. Nobody sane is arguing it isn't. It just isn't GAI nor is it even based on neural networking. But it's still AI.

Remember what year it was when this all started man.

1903 when Edison v. Lubin was filed?

If that's true on its face, then you're not losing any money either way since they are never going to pay regardless even if you try to force them to.

Meanwhile, you can absolutely scare away what could have been a paying customer by offering dogshit service.

If only there were some sort of rapid covid test you could take to check instead of just headcanoning whether or not you have covid.
