@lemmy.worldI highly recommend the book Pandora's Star by Peter Hamilton. They explore using tiny wormholes. They move them, poke a powerful sensor suite though, scan, retract, and close, gradually moving in on prospective planets. They have powerful forcefield to protect against anything coming in the other way. Makes sense to me.

For me. I don't care about resolution after I've downloaded it. Heck, I don't need to know the resolution before downloading, I can tell by the file size.
They aren't the only one, but they are the largest one. They didn't make the system the way it is, but they benefit massively from it staying this way.
Lol what? I don't think they would appreciate being executed, and would gladly take the status quo over being "out of their misery" 🙄
Nah, it's based on the appraised value, which for taxes is always only a fraction of the market value and doesn't change unless the city does a new appraisal. For instance my house is worth over $200k and the appraised value is something like $70k I'm not an outlier, everyone's house is appraised like this.

There are some fringe benefits for blockchain but massive issues with normal human issues like:
Scams/theft: person has the wallet lost through scam or left, how do you invalidate the lost credentials or tickets.
Wallet loss: loss through any number of means: fire, incompetence, computer being destroyed, loss of account to cloud backup etc
Issuer need to invalidate: if tickets/credentials were purchased by fraud or an issue occurs where they need to invalidate
How does blockchain handle these common situations?
