    No, it's really not. NFTs offer this approach absolutely nothing that regular databases don't also offer. In fact, the lack of traceability of NFTs is an inherent weakness, unless you setup a central system to validate identities at which point why are you using NFTs. (You can also ask "why are you using NFTs" for basically anything :p )

    It was the opening pitch not the whole deck

    I think AI art built from unlicensed datasets is a problem that needs addressing. But I also think it’s relatively easy to address. Make some legal regulation about requiring license for content to be used in a dataset. Then build websites where artists can submit their art with some standard licenses for use in datasets and pay people according that that license for the data. This is beneficial to everyone because it actually gives people an incentive to help build good datasets and distributes the wealth. 

    This is the opening pitch for nfts

    But whatever the reason, Newsom may be making a mistake. Making Medicaid long-term care available to Californians who need personal assistance, regardless of wealth, will make it much harder to build political support for the tax increases necessary to fund a public insurance program. After all, people will ask, why should I pay higher taxes for insurance if I can enroll in Medicaid?

     

    However, a public insurance program that offers a cash benefit would give participants resources and flexibility to design their own care. They would not be constrained by complex Medicaid rules when it comes to purchasing the supports and services they need.

    This whole bit is stupid. The income and asset limits help the middle class as the poor are already “taken care of” and the wealthy already self finance or have private insurance for their traditional LTC needs.  Participants wouldn’t design their care, their insurance company would, and new policies are limited in choice and monetary support because costs are spiraling faster than actuarial assumptions this the rate increases that are extremely common now.
     

    Congrats guys now you have an LTC policy with a 90 service day elimination period. Give me LTC for all.

    Is there any reason, even a farcical one, why they do this? I can’t get either article to load

    Man you made me read the damn article you owe me. I couldn’t open OP and I’m not giving them my money (not worth it to me for one story) but I was able to open the link from @Commissar SFLUFAN

    I found another website or two and found this information in addition

    For more than 20 years, the Florida State High School Athletic Association has asked female athletes to answer the following questions on their pre-participation form: 

    When was your first menstrual period?

    When was your most recent menstrual period?

    How much time do you usually have from the start of one period to
    the start of another?

    How many periods have you had in the last year?

    What was the longest time between periods in the last year?

    The questions are marked as optional.

    In the past, pediatricians who work with the Palm Beach school district say, the final page in the three-page physical evaluation form was the most important. That’s where the doctor signs off on whether the athlete is cleared to participate (and lists any precautions or limitations). Those doctors say that’s the only page that should be shared with the district. And that’s the way it is in other states, but in Florida, all of the medical data is turned over to the school.

    And the sensitive information about minors will kept by a software company that has existed for just over one year. Aktivate, founded by former AOL CEO and News Corp. executive Jon Miller, will store the data; the company was launched last September.

    That's not going to happen.

    Like seriously, the SC are definitely ideological conservatives, but they care about their own agenda.

    Yes, they absolutely have an agenda, but its not Trumps, and they don't give a damn about him. Except maybe Thomas by proxy of his crackpot wife. None of them care about him or want to give him any standing. They already got what they needed from him. 

    They've already dismissed and refused to hear cases by him, because he's irrelevant now that they have a majority.

    I concur in judgement, but they’re not willing to completely jettison him yet. But it’s doubtful they’ll stick their neck out for him in this, not right now and not under the questions he’s presenting to the court.
