... so?

*"A customer says that someone on the phone said 'a drone picture' and the company denies it, saying they use other imaging." * Customer could be mistaken, whoever was on the phone may not know that "drone" covers things from 737 Recon Drone to a $10 aliexpress quadcopter.

I'll bet $50 it was either a high altitude drone or a satellite image bought from an imaging company, as they've been doing for at least 20 years, and not some quadcopter flying just above his yard.

Please think before commenting.

People downvote things they don't want to be true.

It's strange. It doesn't work that way.

So every credit card is the same as every other credit card? Cool, can I use yours?

Every drivers license is the same as every other license? I dunno about that, mine has my info on it. I don't think yours does. These tokens don't appear to be fungible.

Every token in monopoly is played by any player? No there's one token per player and they're not interchangeable.

They are Tokens. That are not fungible. These are NFTs. You don't have to like it, but try to understand it.

A Token that is unique and different from other tokens is "non-fungible",

My drivers license is non-fungible. So is my car title.

Dollars are fungible. A $10 bill is a $10 bill.

Cars are not fungible. My car is not the same as your car.

Non-Fungible Tokens can be physical things. There were nfts long before the the internet and you use tons of them, online and off. You just don't know.

(such as Capitol Hill)

Is that related to Cypress Hill?

Private more up-to-date sources aren't very expensive.

edit: An example

I think education would be better if politicians had nothing to do with it.

The easiest to explain is NFTs are worthless. They have no legal validity for ownership. The largest portion of the NFT market is buying pictures, pictures which are hosted externally and can be taken down without respect to the NFT contract.

Oh, so you don't know what an NFT is. An NFT is a non-fungable token. This is a token that is distinct from other tokens, Some tokens are legally valid, some aren't. You use NFTs every day.

This "NFT = Not legally binding JPEG" thing stuck in your head has got to go. It was just a simple PoC that people took nobody but gamblers care for.

Your credit card is an NFT. Your drivers licence is an NFT. Your car title is an NFT. The car in monopoly is an NFT.

But being able to transfer and store NFTs on a trustless network is an amazing feat, and testing it with silly stuff like jpegs is the way to go before using it for something important.

Now imagine your car title is a legally binding NFT. You can prove you own your car, transfer ownership to the new owner, no trip to the DMV needed.

The supply chain is already using NFTs to prevent forgeries; tokens are created by the manufacturer and sent to the retailers. Retailers verify the tokens and know the real ones didn't fall off a truck.

At some point you'll use an NFT to check if those Air Jordan's on Craigslist are the real thing (or stolen). But like every other NFT you use you probably won't even know it.

This is one reason why government run schools are a bad idea. There's an incentive for stupidity to be taught as fact for political gain.

The same reason flying airplanes isn't "criminal trespassing". Satellite and aerial photography happen really high up.

No insurance company used a small toy drone to fly 50' over his property for pictures.

Insurance companies use ariel and satellite photos. So do municipalities to check for unpermited work.

They're not going to drive out to each customer with a toy drone. They're essentially using google map satellite view.

Can we stop the hysteria and take a few minutes to think things through?

That's quite a generous reading.

I still see "if you don't agree with me 100% you're a racist".
