Even if you somehow magically worked it out so that you wouldn't be dead before your flight took off, you'd still have to deal with the fact that you'd be severely ill. No one would let you on the plane if you couldn't go 2 minutes without puking blood out of your asshole.
Further, you're just going to end up dying in the concourse because your flight was delayed.
It would work for the rubes, yes. It wouldn't work for any of the release groups in "the scene". Everything would still leak. Net benefit: Fucking nothing.
2 people with different streams can easily detect the differences and annihilate them. Then you're left with a common signal. You don't fucking COMBINE the signal. You SUBTRACT, and you find the differences, and you cut them out of the originals.
You'd have to do layers and layers of groupings to identify individuals or small groups of people, such as a different watermark scheme every hour, and a different scheme for every region, or whatever.
For a release group to think they're safe, they'd need to see no other differences between streams they check. If you don't know who these people are (and you don't, hence your shitty scheme to track them down), you won't know how to spread out your watermarking schemes. These groups are worldwide and aren't limited by geography, national borders, language, network borders, time, etc. Gooooooooooood fucking luck playing that game of whack a mole.
Further, the watermarks would have to be robust enough to survive reencoding as well. Cinavia got broken because it was robust enough to survive reencoding and thus wasn't transparent.
Watermarking? Really? That doesn't stop anyone but the dumbest of the dumb. And if you're supplying unique watermarks to each customer, then all a pirate needs is a couple of accounts to compare the streams and identify the watermark.
When it was announced they claimed they were working with the FBI. I don't know if they FBI was ever involved or not. (They sure as fuck shouldn't be wasting resources investigating such shit at the behest of corporations.)
That's it exactly what it is. It's what you are allowed to do. It is enforced by the authority that authenticates you or the systems that trust that authority.
Example of what? Blatantly unconstitutional laws? Free speech means no one can limit what you say. It doesn't make you immune to the results of what you say.
If you say your product is green but when someone buys it it's red, you're not off the hook because of free speech. You're on the hook for fraud, etc., but no one can legally stop you from saying your product is green no matter how fucking red it is.
Chart your weight, exercises, diet (exactly) every day. Add in weights of your pees and poos, along with their calorie measurements (you'll need a bomb calorimeter).
Does anyone believe anything a corporation or government it says it will not do?
If public concern over X multiplied by corporate/government temptation to do X exceeds some threshold Y, then the following will happen:
- The corporation/government will issue a statement saying they won't do X.
- The corporation/government will quietly/gradually/eventually/flagrantly do X anyway.
Jesus christ, don't start with that bullshit. What right do you have to clean water? I don't see that in the constitution.
You don't have a right to clean water then....
Actually, in all seriousness, the US constitution only defines the rights the government may not infringe and/or must protect. Other rights exist but they are NOT within the preview of the government to insure or protect. For instance, the individual's right to "pursue happiness" is a given, but the government is NOT responsible to ensure your happiness should you be unhappy with your life..
The Constitution and its amendments define the scope and powers of the federal government EVERYTHING ELSE is reserved to the states or people.
We got the Bill of Rights because morons thought they could weasel their way into getting the feds way more fucking power than they're supposed to have.
We need a new amendment that says "The fucking text says what it says and means what it says and must be enforced as written." because of insipid clowns like yourself.
I'm not sure why anyone is hating on this. And I say that as someone who loves to hate things. I hate Apple. I don't particularly care for Swift either way. But it's fucking widespread, industry-relevant (and get-a-damned-job-relevant), and free.
What's not to like? People who will use Swift to make shitty apps (apps! apps!) are the same people who would be using Java to make shitty web applets. People who will use Swift to make good things, or who will reject Swift and stick with C/C++/whatever remain unaffected. (And LUDDITES don't even enter the picture here.)
A high school degree: You get Work A 2 year community college degree: You get a Job A 4 Year college degree: You get a Career A Masters degree: You get a Profession A Doctorate degree: You get a Calling
Most Software development jobs, doesn't need or particularly want people who are too skilled in the area, because they are too much trouble, too much back talking, and too expensive.
Maybe 30 years ago. The following is much, much more accurate.
Working after highschool: You get apprenticeship / training (paid) for a career in a union-protected trade. Higher education: You get massive debt and lose 4+ years of your life and are 4+ years behind others in the job market, only to take on unpaid internships for the glimmer of hope that the "experience" you get will make your resume look better.
1.5x (3:2) can be done much more cleanly than a 1.425x (57:40).
Please do some math. When interpolating there's no difference between the two. When not interpolating the difference is only that the grid of incorrect pixels will line up equally across the screen.
You have no fucking clue what you're talking about. Bad scaling is incredibly obvious at the PPI they're using, and it is absolutely exacerbated by complex scaling factors. Most scalers are tuned explicitly for 3:2 (see 1280x720 to 1920x1080) and have been for ages (see 480 to 720).

You mean eBay? I hate eBay, but if I wanted an HDCP 2.whatever stripper or a pre-built piratestream box, it's the first place I'd look.

Academics are already in control. This is what they devolve into when given the opportunity.
There are much stronger protections for political speech than for commercial speech.
No there aren't. There is one, ultimate protection that covers all speech.
there's SO many dumb stupid things in JS that sorely need fixed.
To be, or not to be? I guess you answered that question.
You're a moron.
"Based in" or "set in" means the location within the show. "Filmed in" or "shot in" would mean the actual location it was filmed.
Chart your weight, exercises, diet (exactly) every day.

Now that's science.
