Shout-out to the recent reboot of Connections (1987), Connections with James Burke [0], for threading cabinets of curiosities through museums and finally ending with the internet in episode 3, "In the Net".
After speaking with an EU Data Protection Commissioner (IANAL), it is my understanding that in the EU this would not be just your opinion, but also the law. Due to the power imbalance between you and your employer, it is not possible to consent to data collection, unless that data collection is governed by some other law.
That’s excellent! I had the same idea I completed a few weeks ago in python trying to write it with the standard library and have it be easily auditable. You can check it out here if you want:
The Fed should deploy market-making strats to bankrupt major crypto and shun exchanges industry-wide. Blockchain ledger immutability, smart contracts, and distributed transactions are good, but tying crypto to massive CPU use is expensive, wasteful, and climate-damaging.
A friend mines several non-PoW cryptos at home here in TX since there's no money in GPU mining anymore. Also, Helium, if that counts but it's really "Airbnb for LoRa".
I'd like to imagine a future where I can stream fractions of a cent per minute/hour to the video provider or creator in exchange for consumption of that content. That way I only pay for however much I actually consume and the platform doesn't have to serve me ads to be profitable or sustainable. This could even work without needing to register for an account, using the HTTP 402 Payment Required response status code that already exists [0][1], something your browser could handle in the background.
I know all things cryptocoin are anathema here on HN, but one of the stated goals in the satoshi whitepaper was enabling micropayments. I don’t want to give my credit card info out to every video creator I watch, but what if I could load a digital wallet and pay for streams exactly as you suggest?
This makes sense in my head, if there's an incredibly small cost to watching someone (which would add up if that someone thousands of views) and the experience doesn't revolve constantly around trying making me constantly want to consume something else.
Absolutely. I've asked this in the past a little differently: "which one do you want me to prioritize first?", only to be left with "both", or "all of them are top priority", effectively wiping their hands clean of the situation, meaning I'd be the one at fault if I couldn't deliver.
It's actually quite amusing asking it to give you a list of consonants in which Greek words can end in, and then example words for each. It's pretty much all hallucination and then it tries to gaslight you.
