You need more data to recognize frames, but not a lot more data. A hash for each quality setting would be sufficient as long as they don't start fuzzing the videos, which would be very expensive on their part.
It's illegal to not identify an ad as an ad (unless you're a movie maker, but that's a different topic). All ad blockers need to do is read that indicator. That might not be super simple, but I have faith in the abilities of the brilliant people behind many ad-blocking technologies.
Myanmar's average internet speed looks to be around 10-20mbps, so they probably stream with lower quality. Their GDP per capita is ~$1,150, so ads being shown to people in Myanmar wouldn't be worth much anyway.
Well that sounds like an issue between YouTube and music publishers. It doesn't change the fact that it's a ripoff. They could just add a lower tier that only removes ads from non-music videos for like $2-3/mo.
Premium is a ripoff. It's many times more expensive than the amount of ad revenue YT would've gotten if you watched a normal amount of videos without premium.
There are multiple Borg queens.
If replicators existed in our universe, they would probably have some sort of DRM built-in and make you pay a fee to the people who made the patterns it replicates whenever you use it. This would naturally progress to bundles and subscriptions, just like how we went from digitally "buying" movies to paying for streaming services that give us access to a large bundle of media. There would also be no way around this because whoever invented the technology would be the only one selling it and the DRM would likely be hardware-level.
You don't need an entire VPN just to block ads. I use RethinkDNS on Android and it blocks ads in most apps.
I don't really remember SQL, does it prevent you from using a range of values? I can understand why leap seconds would be an issue.
I don't really get why people use any time other than ms/seconds since the epoch for anything other than displaying that time to the end user. Having time just be a single number with no time zone shenanigans makes writing logic like that so much easier.
That doesn't matter. You don't get to just unlitaterally revoke something people paid for because they didn't want to sign up for an account at a company that was unrelated to Minecraft when they bought the game. This should be illegal.
