So @CapitalOne fraud management has been incredibly frustrating, denying my claim of almost $1000 in obvious fraud with no appeals process. I have a police report and proof I was out of state at the time and they told me too bad.

Closing my accounts. Stay away.

@benedictevans The best speculative example here is NFTs for useful things, like hats in Fortnite or digital video games.

Imagine my Xbox library was owned by NFTs. EA can’t legally sell NCAA Football 14 anymore, so DVDs online cost $200. Would an NFT copy be resell-able like the discs are?

@benedictevans That’s fair. There’s a continuum of value-adds to copyable works. Numbered editions and signed books… still physically limited, even if the artist has more control. It’s still a physical thing you can resell.

True, but an over emphasis on plane danger (in name of safety) could have stalled air travel industry before it took off.

Nuclear power is a good example of a technology with real safety issues that suffered from an abundance of caution, which in long run made world less safe!

@7LayerMagik @benedictevans Definitely real innovation to have the Ponzi victims producing valuable side effects for society.

@AdamSinger @Bitfinexed Too many industries are way too slow to wake up to the fact that their business is as much software as the other thing they do, and until they do, it won’t get better.

Tough loss for Team USA vs the Dutch. But now we have to replace our highways with bike lanes. Sorry, those are just the rules of the World Cup.

@ArielWeisberg Be safe out there. Lots of distracted and inebriated drivers too.

@wtfgr3g @patio11 Oh I don’t think they do! They take the L on postage to collect pennies.

@kellabyte What is this? A Fax for ants?

@gwenshap Gwen I have so many Portals… it’s a problem.

Players need to face down FIFA over this. If a captain is booked for wearing a OneLove armband, both teams should leave the pitch until the card is recinded. Delays would cause chaos in global tv schedules and draw greater attention to LGBTQ+ rights and FIFA's malfeasance.
