Bungie Wins a Lawsuit against Cheat Providers for Destiny 2
Bungie got a judgement for $60K against AimJunkies. But $60K isn't much. It's part of a larger campaign to shut down cheaters and keep the playing field level.

I’m interviewing for a SaaS contract administrator. I’ve worked in the industry as a contract admin for years but it’s always helpful to refresh and sharpen up! Your video helped immensely. Thank you!
Good luck with your interview!
I am Satoshi nakamoto and when the last Bitcoin is minted you are going to see my driver's license identification of who I am. My name has never come up ever none of you have a clue who I am. Craig Steven wright is a fraud. I don't need the money. I have a registered letter and a certified letter sent to myself and never open with the first transaction and the white paper in it dated 2009 with a postal stamp.

I really liked your presentation. It was very helpful and timely for my current project!
Thanks so much!
Just a heads up: Under the first "Suggestions" slide, the first sentence reads, "Create a template for contracts you right," instead of "write."
Haha good point. Unfortunately it's impossible to edit a CZcams video.
BSV is Like unadulterated MILK while BTC is like Milk with pasteurization and hormones.
That is interesting!
Yes its healthy for families and great for commerce.
I think Satoshi was made by Bitcoin.
Ourobouos!
Intellectual property is invented by Craig not the opposite.
If it wasnt created by the architects of society ( either top banking top intel or top military ) it was very much welcomed and encouraged by them. Also btc etc is was a great way to manifest the infrastructure ( miners ) and technology needed to one day run a proper official state backed crypto, which is basically a game changer for the managment of society and managment of everything.
That's an excellent plan to get a lot of free development work!
Sounds very conspiratorial
You can literally buy a tropical island for well under 100k if you buy one near conflict zones in a certain parts of the world.
Good to know!
Craig's claim to be Satoshi was just a stunt to promote BSV lol
And to sue people.

well its definitely not one person but i would say a small group of people !

Craig wright, you’re goofing around with your alt account bragging about yourself again? 😂😂😂😂
The COPA expert Mr Madden who was said to have evidence to destroy Craig Wright....actually got destroyed himself on the witness stand this morning. He admitted that his independent report was prepared by the COPA lawyers...lol...not so independant...a big no no!!

If that were true it would have imploded by now.
Great Video👍👍you got one more like and a new subscriber 😅Thank You for Your Time🎉..
Thanks so much!
How come that dogecoin being clearly a memecoin is listed in all exchanges and supported by most wallets?. One might like or dislike Dr Wright but is undeniable that BSV is a real project with a clear vision and yet is its cancelled in all exchanges and all Wallets. There's centainly something fishy going. Back in 2023 Mr Wright made quite some defamatory claims against Mr Cz and months later , suprise surprise! Mr Cz got sentenced. I think there's way more going on in these case. Only time will tell.
BSV will 10X every year ! Starting this year.
@@user-uh2uc6jd2i any idea where to buy?, it feels like btc back in 2014
Dave klienman is the best candidate i have found after going down so many rabbit holes with all different people
Wrong
Keep looking In rabbit holes.... Craig Wright is not in any of them.... He's busy scaling bitcoin.
I delved deep into this years ago.Hal Finney is my guess.
i dont think that holds up either
Satoshi Nakamoto understand that for Bitcoin to be a viable system owned by nobody, just its users, anonymity was extremely important in order for the system not to be tied to a certain individuals identity. That is why I think those who want the claim to fame are the least likely to be Satoshi.
I agree!
Then why is he holding all those Billions of BTC.
@@user-uh2uc6jd2i Becaise theyre his that he mined? And it shows that he believes in the system he created, as opposed to all the other cryptos that just sell and dump on their investors

I just would like to say thank you. This video helps me clear up so many confusions regarding software licensing.
Thank you so much!
37:35 isn't AGPL OSI approved ? I'm not sure why it's listed as a source available license here.
It is OSI approved.
33:00 seek patents means claiming patents? How is good to offer licenses that promise that you won't claim patents , if you plan to do so ? - thanks for the video :)
Seeking patents means "patent prosecution" or having a program of writing patents. Most companies that have a patent process are constantly writing and applying for patents. Patents usually don't issue for two years or more. Therefore, most patents on inventions embodied in software under current development have not issued yet, and the company is still in the process of seeking them. Open source doesn't mean you won't seek patents, it just usually makes them not worthwhile to prosecute.
Thank you so much! The video was easy to understand and very informative. Keep it up!
You’re totally missing out on India. Talent✅ political stability ✅ cheap ✅ English speaking and tech savvy ✅✅ I find it amusing how sometimes Americans brutally underestimate Indian potential in taking on the Silicon Valley. I suppose time will tell but as someone who lives in India and has seen technology companies globally I have no doubt that India is the only logical true successor (in scale) to SV
You are correct about the talent and political stability. (Talent especially, and a young workforce as well!) But for India, I'm afraid, the legal environment and capital markets are still a big problem. India's legal system still makes it difficult for international investors to participate. This is, doubtless, one reason Sequoia recently created a separate investment arm for India. www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/startup/sequoia-india-rebrands-to-peak-xv-partners-will-operate-independently-10752451.html China has similar (but even more) issues. It's possible that India can develop a startup tech sector with only its own domestic capital, but that is a needless hurdle. Having an international investor base not only provides more capital, it makes it easier to weather national economic fluctuations -- like the recent weakness of the Rupee. I am cheering for India, though. In our VC fund we have actually invested in quite a few startups with Indian founders and dev teams. But deals involving India take much longer to execute; there is still just too much red tape. That's a self-inflicted problem, and I think legal reform is badly needed, including at both the national and state level. But I have been excited to see the local startup activity, I hope we will continue to see less movement of Indian entrepreneurs to the US, UK and Canada, and more staying to develop the local economy.
I think it's important to note that cypto can be used for money transfer by criminal organizations. But it is so transparent, that it can lead to them being caught. IT has also been used for significantly less criminal transfers than our current banking infrastructure and fiat currency system. The fine paid by Binance is also about 1/4 of the fine paid by a bank (JP Morgan) for a previous court case around 2008.. So not record breaking. Perhaps in a perfect world, the current banking system will simply implement some of the cryptography for processing transactions. making them cheap and fast. while also lowering overall fees. Win for the customer and a more secure network for us all.
You are right about the fine. The sources I read were misleading, sorry. Another source said it was the biggest "crypto" fine ever paid, though I don't know exactly what definition they were using there. Also, it is interesting that crypto transactions are more traceable than most people realize. My former colleague Lisa Monaco was involved in this action recovering ransomeware payments: www.reuters.com/business/energy/us-announce-recovery-millions-colonial-pipeline-ransomware-attack-2021-06-07/.

Hi all, since this video came out, a form of SaaS agreement called Bonterms was published. It's a very useful form, so check it out. bonterms.com/
Thank you for the video!

amazing thanks for the help
You are welcome!
Just curious on a month-to-month, no commitment, saas agreement, with the upfront payment term equal payment immediately regardless of the start date
@@igotoohard Thanks, what is it you want to know about it? Month-to-month is not very common in enterprise agreements, but more common with consumer or SMB services.
AI still needs people to give it new ideas and review the code it writes. You can't trust unreadable code, too, so all code would have to be generated in a human-readable form. No matter where the technology goes, if you're developing for people, people will need to be involved.
Exactly 100%

what do you think about his parents? and what does that say about stanford, is that common there?
From what I've read, I think they are ethically tone-deaf, just like he is. Personally, I think many institutions of higher education today are out of touch with the moral reality of the society at large--Stanford probably no more than any other. SBF's mother is known for something called "Beyond Blame." www.bostonreview.net/forum/barbara-fried-beyond-blame-moral-responsibility-philosophy-law/ This is part of a school of thought in the law that does not believe in personal culpability for crime. It's pretty radical, even more than restorative justice, which is popular in law schools these days, and itself a bit novel. SBF's extreme devotion to utilitarianism is not inconsistent with that notion. It's also kind of sad and naive. Utilitarianism is a morally neutral philosophy most people learn about in college and then discard as they mature, thinking -- interesting idea but more of a thought experiment than a way to actually live one's life. SBF apparently never grew beyond that. Thanks for the excellent question!
Stop clickin' the headlines!
Good advice, which I probably will not follow. :)
Please keep thinking and sharing! Thank you

LOL I need a real teleprompter!
I'll probably have a short blog post responding on the political side for you. But on the tech side, I think the Reuters piece may have misled you. An instruction set design like RISC-V isn't the same as a chip design you can actually send to a fab and have made. The relationship of instruction set to chip design is more like standard to implementation. RISC-V was very much done with forethought for implementers, but there is and can be no universal "reference implementation" There will be a bunch of competitive, evolving designs, as there have been for x86. For an analogy in pure software, think ECMAScript, the standard for JavaScript, and its competing implementations in Chrome and Firefox, V8 and SpiderMonkey. For an example of a company offering performant RISC-V processors, there's SiFive out of San Mateo. Last I checked-admittedly several few months ago-there were also some purportedly "open source" or "open hardware" RISC-V processor designs, but they were very niche, academic, or toyish. The AI-relevant designs for workstation and server loads remained proprietary, and largely at the R&D stage.

3:20 "It's hard to imagine anyone would have the time for that" A programmer can create a script to uninstall and reinstall a game and spoof the player id
Good point!
There are also streamers, youtubers and influencers that have big following. If one of them said to their viewers to install and uninstall a game they don't like, it would result in crushing effect.
@@jedrzejkoszewski4342 Interesting comment! You've provided an example of why companies have to be so careful to avoid moves that make an online community angry. These days, reactions spread so quickly that news of how to "game" a flaw in the pricing structure will spread like wildfire.
Once crypto people picks this up, serious ones don't buy until it's £5 even though maximum tokens reach the billions. And there's lots of loses and frustrations with that scam.
