If you're traveling as a regular passenger, you still would not have a fiduciary relationship with Boeing and you have no confidentiality obligations regardless of who else is on the plane.


I’m speculating here, but I suspect a significant factor in her video’s removal was the part where she displayed a rough hand-drawn diagram of the assembly a fractal wood burning kit. She deliberately left out a lot of detail, but perhaps it was still too much for YouTube’s content moderation team.


> but perhaps it was still too much for YouTube’s content moderation team

I think the assumption that the moderation team watches the full videos and then carefully weights the pros and cons is a bit naive.


I find it bold to assume any human was involved at all. (Except possibly wood-burning youtubers reporting her video, but I digress.)


Trading live music for GDP seems like a good deal. Although, I completely agree that SG does feel like an efficient well run corporate campus.


> On average, one model is probably around $500.

That's a pretty impressive budget, there must be hundreds of models in the game.


On a related note, how did you fund the development over such a long timeframe?


From the OP, looks like five years working on it part-time while having another job, so presumably that funded it. And then one year of full time game development.


I understand if you wish to keep it private, but what was the name of the .io game you worked on?


I don't think Tom Scott ever promoted a VPN product in a YouTube video. He's actually quite selective with his brand deals. From his contact page regarding ads:

* If you're asking about pay-per-click or pay-per-lead advertising, the answer will be no. Please don't ask.

* I do not review products or apps.

* I am unable to accept sponsorship from apps or games that contain microtransactions or gambling.

> I wrote a more honest advert for VPN services and I found a company that was willing to sponsor the video. Unfortunately they kept asking for changes, and we disagreed on those, so at the last minute, I have had to blank their name out.

There is a good chance he made that up as a more interesting plot for the video.


What kinds of non-public research tools do PIs have access to?


If you bought an NFT, it's more likely you bought an address that points to a JPEG, not the JPEG itself. Of course you can save the JPEG locally just like any other JPEG unrelated to NFTs.


How did they buy the address? In what sense do they own the address? They don't own the domain, do they? And can't I just copy & paste the address myself, so I own it to?


I really like the live web cam feeds. They give some action movie hacker vibes!


It's interesting to note that Minecraft uses this library.
