  • That’s not how that works.

    NFT is issued determining ownership to a property. Property sells, another NFT is issued, tied to the original one to maintain a chain of ownership. Issuance of a second NFT for a sale to a new owner would depend on authorization by the previous NFT holder. Lienholder information could also be stored, and linked to a mortgage NFT with payment history.

    The “NF” part of that stands for “non-fungible.” As in, once created, cannot be changed.


  • One of the things blockchain could do is become a digital proof of ownership, augmenting or replacing things like property deeds and car titles. We already agree that a written record of ownership of such things is legally binding (even if the writing is stored digitally), but transfer of that ownership to another person is still a very manual process. Imagine an NFT that represents ownership of your house, and when you want to sell your house, you transfer that NFT to someone else’s custody - adding their ownership information to it. It would record the entire chain of ownership, and specific details about the piece of property involved.

    The PIN is stored locally on the machine only. It doesn’t get synced with anything anywhere. It’s actually much safer to use a PIN for authentication because it’s four digits that you (well, maybe not you) don’t have to write down, and the only time it works is on the physical machine. The user account password can be long and/or complex, but if you’re only ever authenticating at the keyboard, all you have to remember is the PIN.


  • “Crossover” was essentially “minivan without sliding doors.”

    4x4 generally means “you have a second gear selector to choose 2wd or 4wd Hi or 4wd Lo,” whether that selector is a mechanical lever or a switch.

    “Full time 4wd” and AWD mean that the car is always driving all four wheels, there is no selector to switch to 2wd, and usually with the primary being front wheel drive, with a teeny driveshaft sending a small percentage of the power (like 20% or 30%) to the rear wheels (though that may change based on traction control sensor inputs).

    I apologize for the length of the previous sentence.

    That’s because the inside of a raw egg is soft, and the inside of a raw potato is hard. Boiling water brings them both to a similar texture.

    Edit: Not to mention that the inside of an egg is mainly protein, while the inside of a potato is mainly starch and cell membranes. Heat causes proteins to tighten, and causes starches and cell membranes to break down.

    The effects of the environment on each of these things have everything to do with what the things are.
