Many fashion houses literally burn their unsold products to create this scarcity or create limited runs. DeBeers have a heavy control over the diamond industry. If an artist says they'll only create unique pieces (a 1/1 collection) then while they could create more in future, they'll still have a market determined value.
The market dictates the value. As a test, create and mint an exact replica of a Bored Ape NFT and try to sell it for the current minimum price of 32 ETH or around $150k.
The marketplaces verify the collections. So if you're buying from a famous artist on OpenSea, you know the NFT is the one from that artist. There are copycat collections but it's no different from someone trying to flog a fake Banksy a the local shopping mall.
Have children. (and hope for plenty of grandchildren, great grandchildren etc)
1,000 years is time for a lot of generations to pass. Sure, your particular DNA might only make up some small amount of someone walking around in 1,000 years, but that is an action you can take in your lifetime that will be significant. Bonus points if you educate them well and give them the resources to be as successful as possible.
This is very interesting, because your office sounds like hell to me. Any time I work from home I'm absolutely desperate for meaningless social interaction, a walk and a chat while out for coffee, a beer with my team at lunch or after work and face to face discussion. I guess it's hard to find something that works for everyone.
Like many, I help in a number of small ways I'm sure, and perhaps I've even made a big impact on a few lives for the better, but I can't help but think I should be able to scale up and do more for a far, far greater number of people.
So the Met asked the indian police, who in turn reached out to groups (!) of local hackers to carry out the work, who then presumably passed the data back through the chain to the Met.
Hard to believe someone found out with such a watertight process...
Even though the content of the video is fairly commercial (AdWords and and GA being used on-screen) it's still great that Google is giving exposure to issues that are important to its staff, and indeed the broader public.
Such an interesting area for him to have done it in. I think the results in say London or another big city would be quite different as it's not an areas that has really thrived and people are much more likely to stay local.
