Please stop trying to force Sanderson to write a series his style would be horrible at and that he would not enjoy finishing.
Joe Abercrombie and Robin Hobb are still alive, among plenty of other excellent grimdark fantasy authors, if you must insist on naming a successor.
The number of people in this post that don't understand the difference between a private company's HR/PR decisions and the actual legal system is shocking.
This has nothing to do with the "justice system". Private companies can make their own decisions.
Do you sit in the writer's room? What information do you have that contradicts what actual writers and actors on the show have said about Roiland's (lack of) involvement in later seasons?
Is it only possible to fire a toxic asshole because he committed crimes?
For what, appearing in a bunch of films as himself?
Game of Thrones took tons of ideas from real human cultures and it wasn't very subtle, but that world still seems much more alive and real to me than what I see in the WoT television series. (I have only read parts of the first book in this series and I know the fans adore the world building, so I assume this failure is on the show and not the source material.)
I bet they would be well supported if they opened up donations (if that hasn't already happened). From what I have gathered, the community funds that WAG and other unions manage have been incredibly well supported so far.
So, yes, the blockchain doesn’t make files smaller, but it could work to verify their authenticity, and that they have not been tampered with.
As with every other suggested use of blockchain, there are already better ways to verify contents. It's called hashing, it's been around for decades, and we do it all the time.
So instead of videos being hosted on 1 server, videos could be downloaded and made available by anyone to anyone at any time.
This is going to run into all kinds of bottlenecks. Individual users may have a fast enough Internet connection to stream HD video, but uploading is often much slower. Even if not, one user could only co-host maybe 1-2 other users. Also, ISPs sure aren't going to like all the increased bandwidth!
People always vastly underestimate the bandwidth requirements for smooth, streaming video.
Are you referring to the concept of capitalism?
So what, why does society care about two people getting into the same car together?
Only the nerds in Silicon Valley could come up with a technical solution to such massive problems as income inequality. How can supposedly intelligent people spend more than 1 second thinking that makes any sense?
What's next, are we going to make an app to answer vexing questions like "why does evil exist"?!
