it has the potential to make a game actually saying “buy” somewhat more valuable, which perhaps could lead to a shift from “it’s easier to require online and there’s no down side” to “perhaps we should spend a little bit of time thinking about this to get 1% boost in sales”
you’re completely right, but only bank sanctions are relevant to the majority of people, and really are bank sanctions relevant to most people?????
however, that wasn’t the point you were making in your original comment
also the white circle represents the value you get from living in a society supported by the taxes you pay
this is just the standard situation in australia and now that i have it i’d never go back… i think most people that live here think similarly
it’s possible, but that would seem… odd… for such a large and tech-savvy instance. there’s a lot of reasons why this isn’t a good idea, and very few technical reasons why it is
my guess is that it’s less about obscuring server location for privacy reasons as is the implications in this thread, and more about handling changes cleanly or something like that - in which case, sure it obscures the server location but more that it makes the server “location” (or hardware, etc) irrelevant and fungible
there is an argument that prioritising traffic would be a good thing - pay more for high priority video calls etc, or pay less for things you don’t care about like bulk download
… but we can’t trust ISPs to wield these powers responsibly and in ways that’s good for consumers
he also hated non-skeuomorphic design, and yet here we are for the better in a world where we’ve moved on from that dated concept
just because he didn’t like something doesn’t make it wrong for apple to pursue
oh yup that’s a very fair point then! you certainly wouldn’t use it for security in that case, however there are a lot of ways to implement this that don’t rely on the security of the hash function, but just uses it (for example) to point to somewhere in a trusted source to manually validate that they’re the same
we already have the trust frameworks; that’s unnecessary… we just need to automatically validate (or at least provide automatic verifyability) that a video posted on some 3rd party - probably friendly or at least cooperative - platform represents reality
well thanks i guess for that rabbit hole i just dove head first down
my other server is a cloud tho
it’s so baffling to me that some people think this is a clear cut problem of “you stole the work just the same as if you sold a copy without paying me!”
it ain’t the same folks… that’s not how models work… the outcome is unfortunate, for sure, but to just straight out argue that it’s the same is ludicrous… it’s a new problem and ML isn’t going away, so we’re going to have to deal with it as a new problem

they also save a lot of space and money so there tend to be more. at bars and clubs in particular where the men’s has urinals, the difference in line length is pretty stark
