I was doing some napkin math for how many femtoseconds there are between each frame and how that compares to Planck time but this response does a better job capturing how cool this is.
If they recorded at that speed for 1 hour and played it back at 1 frame per second, all the time since the Big Bang will have passed before they get through 40 minutes of recording.
Almost, but not quite. A single second recording played at one fps would take roughly 5 million years to finish, so a 40 minute recording would take 12 billion years to finish at 1 fps. The big bang was 13.8 billion years ago.
After seeing the one where they slam Dan’s face with a ball and you see his skull moving under his skin I realized there can be entire fields of study around insanely fast cameras. What we see in real time doesn’t even compare. Also the one where Gav shows how CRTs work is still my favorite.
And if you were to watch it at 60Hz you would need 82+ years to watch that one second. Hope you know exactly where you’re wanting to look or can scrub it really fast!
You don’t have to ban VPNs. Just force everyone doing business in the US to keep logs and to comply with blocking websites via federal law (that will be dictated by the MPAA)
I mean, that’s not out of the realm of possibility of things going down that way, but good luck getting that passed and then enforcing that, especially internationally.
Also, I have to wonder if there’s an argument to be made about undue burden. But NAL, so dunno.
Just use a foreign VPN (basically all trustworthy, privacy-focused VPN providers are located outside the US, e.g. Mullvad in Sweden, IVPN in Gibraltar or Proton VPN in Switzerland) and connect to an exit server outside the US
the growth has already been staggering since states starting requiring ID’s for pornhub. I’m glad tech literacy is increasing in the face of these recurring laws. Small silver lining I can latch on to lol
It’s almost like John Oliver’s NSA street campaign. No one cared until he started talking about how the NSA was cause inappropriately “handling” dick pics
They’re half the way there. One does not simply turn off the porn. People will go through great lengths to see nudes
Now we just have to make them understand that their porn history is being collected along with their legal identity. Hackers will get it before long, and if the government doesn’t have it already, it’s just a matter of time
The violation we’ve felt having all of our movements and habits tracked is apparently only felt by the masses when their junk is analyzed. Which I find weird, but hey, whatever makes people realize privacy isn’t something to shrug off
Its good to see congress focusing on the real issues finally. When I pay taxes, this is what I’m looking for. Hopefully they will get around to legalizing kicking homeless people and children in the face soon as this is another one of my priorities.
As a disabled person I find I am not intentionally tripped anywhere near enough. I beseech Congress to act now before I become complacent in my verticality.
That’s an unregulated market. It’s a bit counterintuitive, but an idealized free market would need to be free of price fixing and monopolization, and therefore requires regulation.
That’s what all these invisible hand folk always get wrong.
I agree 😇 free market leads to one big monopoly which decides anything for anyone. Regulation is needed all the time, as we saw (and see) with Microsoft and now with Apple, Amazon, Google etc.
Unregulated market ≠ free market. That’s what I just explained. If you’d like a better understanding I’d highly recommend auditing econ 101 online through MIT: youtu.be/_OkTw766oCs?si=twyynoEzf-bi5k3m
It’s not a tough course, and it’s probably one that everybody should take anyways, TBH.
They may not know how it works, which is why it’s fucking dangerous that they are getting “consulted” by the MPA.
Best case scenario: it’s just a DNS level block.
Worst case scenario: it’s a DNS level log capture so that the MPA can sue people who watch things on fmovies or similar sites, like the RIAA did in the 90s.
You can even bypass these blocks with a CDN like Cloudflare. They let you host a proxy for a website for free. Check out this guide champagne.pages.dev/…/proxy-websites/
It may not be next President/Congress or the one after that. However there will be a President/Congress that decides to broaden the firewall to “protect us”.
This post explaining why the Motion Picture Association and Congress will work together to start blocking piracy sites in the US had no business being in a thread about how the Motion Picture Association and Congress will work together to start blocking piracy sites.
Pathetic, deleting comments critical of your moderation.
I can’t think of something more on-topic in a thread about American industry lobbying than a study by Princeton, published in a reputable journal, specifically on the topic of lobbying of the American government by industry.
