For some reason I just never trust the PDF tool (or human error on my end) actually redacting the info, even if I were to do a print to PDF.
is the onus on an artist or on an "auction house" to vet buyers. If post sale it turns out the money was fraudulent, does the artist need to pay it back?
In crypto terms. You the artist simply put a NFT up for auction at OpenSea. You the scammer happened to purchase the artwork on OpenSea. However KYC is not well enforced, enabling for money laundering between the two wallets.
Or what if he decided to create his own crypto-currency and it just so happened that his dirty wallet was an early investor of ETH to his fund.
Seems like he could have done more to distance himself.
Even if Zoom's average usage per paid user goes down post-pandemic, it's revenue will remain constant and could still grow as new employees are hired and new companies switch over.

I recall multiple studies early on stating cloth masks were not effective and should be avoided if you have access to surgical or n95 masks.
My impression is that the (US) government didn't want to nuisance this discussion as it'd only open further criticism of mask mandates.
But agreed.
There's much the federal government could do to alleviate the situation.

It's saddening that our government hasn't treated housing becoming un-affordable as a national risk. Somehow we can spend trillions on bailing out businesses and corporations yet we can't muster the strength to build additional housing?
Is not the rise in housing cost the single largest contributor to many of our problems?

You 1. mint a NFT with wallet A. Then 2. Sell the NFT to wallet B. You then deposit the proceeds into coinbase as its legitimate earnings on your NFT artwork.
If you want to get creative you can do multiple buy and sells between a collection of wallets to reduce suspicions.
What this prevents is allowing say Youtube to pay TMobile to never throttle their traffic.
As for code, yeah most cities have codes on the hight and setback of backyard sheds. This shed doesn't look like it meets either.

Yes there's a few centralized components still such-as DNS, but even that is heavily cached and distributed in nature.
Blockchain could aid in replacing BGP & DNS allowing for a better web. But web3 is just as centralized as our current web, if not more centralized. For example, abracadabra money get's current crypto prices from a "price oracle" which is a consortium of 16 parties who state what they feel the price should be. I wouldn't call that "Decentralized"
Sure log4j might have been recently patched, but it's not unrealistic to think that a nation-state has access to similar exploits.
Where-as Vimeo is closer to a video hosting service.
