  1. Raid at least is a game, although arguably not an RPG. Estabilished Titles sold literally nothing.

  2. That's the exact thing they were claiming. That was literally the entire point of their product. Owning land in Scotland and becoming a lord in Scotland.

  3. It's SUPPOSED to be a joke gift, but if you don't actually become a lord in some technical sense, what is the joke? The scam is precisely that the joke isn't there. >The whole idea was so insanely silly to me that i was flabbergasted anyone actually believed any of it You CAN buy lordships in many places and there's plenty of silly old laws. >Exactly the same deal No, it isn't. You can't own a star and everyone knows that. You CAN become a lord. Established Titles was lying.

  4. No, you're simply acknowledging what they actually claimed.

  5. Wtf that's the first thing I would put on my dating profile.

  6. Only it's clear that you can't own a star. It's not at all clear whether you can purchase a lordship.

  7. Yeah, this seemed really familiar.

  8. It was the same people behind the knives. It's a factory of scam companies.

  9.  @dustinnabil798  Dealing with cases were something goes wrong is like 90% of programming. Every programming language has a zoo of errors to propagate, every software engineering course puts great emphasis on it, there's an entire prolific field of science dedicated only to safety of software, there's a myriad of ingenius techniques to generate testcases. Automatically generated tests, fuzzing, invariants... That programmers don't have "contingencies" is nonsense.

  10.  @jessirarara  Ok, then write the program that does the months long process. The entire point of blockchain applications is that there is no authority. That's the whole point. That's also why most NFTs are pointless.

  11.  @PodreyJenkin138  That's two different kinds of security. If the art is secret, ie no one knows it, then you can't prove that it's yours. To prove that it's yours, people have to know what it is.

  12.  @l4cunaz  That's totally wrong. Not only do the image generation systems you know of not do that, they LITERALLY, MATHEMATICALLY can't. They can't reproduce anything that was in their training data. Humans looking at paintings, however can. Art is totally safe from plagiarism when it comes to GANs, VAEs or Diffusion models and not safe at all when it comes to human onlookers. That said, all human painters have looked at tons and tons of pictures of other painters. They also have eyes and ears and other sensory organs. They don't just produce art without ever having learned anything.

  13.  @Julia-lk8jn  Did you pay attention? NFTs don't imply any sort of ownership. An artists is in no way infringed by an NFT pointing to their stuff.

  14.  @Razmoudah  Yes, you can. That's an entire field of research. There's automatically generated testcases and fuzzing and abstract guarantees like loop invariants in functional languages.

  15. Program safety in theory and practice is a huge, prolific field of research, every programming language has a zoo of errors, there's a myriad of testing techniques and software packages for them, software engineering courses and universities put great emphasis on testing and edge cases. Automatically generated tests, fuzzing, invariants... Programmers know infinitely more about contingencies than lawyers.

  16. I googled malicious erections to find some examples of fences built out of spite. Don't do that.

  17. No. When you buy that sword you actually own it. You own it to a much greater degree than anyone can own a piece of intellectual property.

  18. That's really easy, that's specifically what smart contracts are for. The money and private key of the car go into an escrow until the deal is done.

  19.  @lesslighter  Cryptocurrencies are already used all the time. They are popular, because there is demand. There is simply nothing else that can take the place of Monero for example.

  20. Of course it's supposedly a "novelty gift", but the novelty is that you're actually considered a lord (or laird) according to some custom, which you are not. So it's not a novelty or gag, it's a scam. The claim on which the joke rests is wrong.

  21. ​ @Icanbacktrailers Bcs this kind of scam is better known in the UK and they'd probably think they would have heard of this laird-custom.

  22. Nope, they sell larger pieces of land, too.

  23. In Germany it is illegal to hinder cars or other vehicles in any way when crossing the road, but it's not a crime. It's the same taking someone's right of way or becoming an obstacle in other situations in traffic. So you're only allowed to cross if you're not forcing any vehicle on the street to react to you in any way. Of course all drivers still need to be ready to break in case someone walks onto the road.

  24. Short mullets are actually practical in wrestling as they can make you harder to necktie. My coach sometimes grows one and he becomes slippery af.

  25. ​ @masterzoroark6664 NFTs have nothing to do with art. Art flourishes under capitalism.
