Air travel can be revolutionized with a pod-based boarding system to reduce travel times and enhance safety. Passengers would have individual pods with built-in luggage compartments under their seats, allowing for fast, automated boarding and unloading. This system would eliminate the need for overhead storage and flight attendants, streamlining operations. In emergencies, each pod would feature a deployable parachute, offering increased survivability. By minimizing human touchpoints and maximizing automation, airlines could drastically cut boarding times, improve passenger privacy, and enhance overall efficiency in air travel.

My guess is they infiltrated the pager supply putting the bombs in all pagers and triggered them with Hezbollah's own encoded message system so only the guilty parties would be effected.

Before I begin, I will say that I've been falling asleep listening to Ray Dalio's "Principles" on audiobook. I also have listened to recordings of quite a few of his speeches (including the recent one at All-In Summit)

My initial reaction was to reply, "I'm not paying for a service that charges me when other people lose their goods." But that's exactly what every company does, they just don't call it that.

Next, I wanted to say "I'm not paying for a service that blatantly charges me for that." But that's not right either.

I just...I don't understand this level of complexity. This may be the Dalio fever speaking, but is this what "radical transparency" means? The customer gets to know about every financial detail of the products they're casually using?

Most consumers don't want or need to know about everything that goes in the dog food. We know some of it's bad. We don't want to shop around various services for the best "insurance to profit" ratio or something. No one does that for health insurance, let alone video rental insurance.

The beauty of modern consumerism is that you see one number - a price. That can inform every decision the consumer makes. The informed consumer (i.e. the one with more free time) may dig into the details, but ultimately everyone has certain items when they really, really don't care about the company or the quality - they just want the best price.

This behavior allows the individual to shed a lot of cognitive load and stop thinking about things that they don't want to think about. It also represents a lot of what's wrong with consumerism today

You should really work on refining your idea. Consider this it's first exposure to oxygen. Maybe I'm 100% wrong too. Good luck.

The token pays for access to the network and funds the purchase of videos and lets you vote on what's purchased next, since it would be decentralized and you wouldn't be paying people the monthly costs would be limited to website upkeep and cost of postage.

what if they change wallets or keys?
tke248 · 2 years ago
I envision a system where the token covers the cost of your initial contribution, equivalent to the price of two DVDs, approximately $40. This not only funds the DVDs but also grants you access to our network. With the upfront cost accounted for, we can then set a more affordable monthly charge, leveraging the reduced overhead costs. Importantly, the reputation is tied to the token itself, not the wallet. So even if a user changes wallets, any fraudulent activity or complaints associated with the token will persist. After a set number of infractions or complaints, the token will be revoked. To regain access to the network, the user would need to purchase a new token.

An Insurance Pool, funded by rental fees, covers losses from fraud, with smart contracts tracking transactions and managing claims.

The Reputation System tracks user behavior, automatically banning individuals like Devious Dan after several fraudulent actions such as sending empty envelopes.

    create a peer-to-peer rental system where customers
    mail DVDs directly to the next renter
Beyond the glaringly-obvious privacy implications, how would the DAO actually enforce this? What's to stop Devious Dan from mailing an empty envelope to Bob and then claiming that Bob stole the DVD?

It's not valuable enough to be a company but I would buy a token to get access to obscure movies every now and then.

This seems like a solution looking for a problem.

If they were making 150M in revenue and had a million subscribers some people derived value from the service. Not everyone has good internet connections and the selection was much larger.
