Markdown is pretty cool and handy but it is too "nerdy" to ever replace MS Word...

Yep, nerdy describes it very well 😁

 

It will evolve and take over in a few years because its structure works much easier and faster with machine understanding and cognitive search API or services. That is, you will be surrounded by services that work better and faster with structured documents.

 

Right now, the lack of standardization is a problem.  Once all Markdown flavors are unified (including Wikitext migration) then the adoption will go beyond technical people. It is so simple and is not rocket science anyway.

 

I am not saying a taxi driver will have to learn it, but court documents, legislation, IEEE articles, medical papers or even online articles will be available as a structured format that will be the grand child of Markdown. PDF (that is built based on physical paper layout Robwin is referring to) be obsolete by the time.

 

Ms Word and its file format is the result of Steve Ballmer era and mwindset. Satya operates based on a different mindset. Not saying Satya will garbage  docx format tomorrow, but things will gradually change. It is so inefficient to parse a docx or pdf file.

Well said but do not forget docx is basically a wrapped xml file. Just rename a docx file to zip and you can open and see it 😁

Yes, it is part of office open xml family:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/open-xml/open-xml-sdk

 

... and I like how industry struck back with simpler alternatives. I am not a big fan of big corporations (Old-Microsoft, Apple, Adobe and etc...) try to manipulate market to impose their standards.

Hellow  guys

First I admit that I didn't read all 17 pages of comments on this topic.  Maybe someone already said or answered my comment.

To me, there is a huge disconnect between the official version of VH and what was written in several article published in Ukraine.

VH is talking about "protection racket"

Morning 14/02/2019 we received unexpected information that one of the apartments in one given country was visited by several persons who introduced themselves as law enforcement employees. With no legal reasoning or any charges, one of our Studio’s contractors (not participant) was detained by these persons. These persons told him that they know all the information about other apartments in the city, which are connected to VHTV streaming platform, and, basically, offered their protection services to make sure these apartments stay there without any problems like the today’s “visit” and still illegal detention of a person.

Having experience with working on market of Russian Federation and CIS countries, including Ukraine, we know the practice like that, which we identify as “Protection Racket”, by misfortune, quite popular thing the gangs and uncontrolled law enforcement do in these countries.

We at Voyeur House TV do not accept things like that. We do not consider bribing unscrupulous law enforcement employees just to feed them and let them frighten people, who prefer to work with us.

Most of the articles referenced in this topic are talking about criminal investigation for porn-related activities.

May be the police officers that performed the arrest of the studio guy did offer to close the file in return of money but the bottom line is not what VH published.  There are criminal proceedings under way.  In my book, there is a HUGE difference.

Or may be I am missing a big part of the story?

...and as far as I’m aware no one here has heard from any of the actual Ukrainian tenants. Twitter acccounts were hidden and all have gone silent. 

I'm also not expecting that to happen, doesn't make any sense at all.. and nop, not all twitter accounts were hidden. 3 are exactly normal like they was before, 3 are online but only accept who they want (like others are/was from russian tenants) and only 2 was deleted (or changed the name)

Wouldn't it only be "Voyeur" if the tenants had no knowledge of them being watched? All of these locations, no matter where they are, are contractually consensual.

Have they tweeted anything? Have they tweeted any pics or of info about VHTV? Have they tweeted nude or sex pics?

For the ones i'm able to see .. of course not.. if they aren't online why should they use them?? 

[Sparkles]

Just now, Amy3 said:

Cause aren’t they so sex crazied in real life. Lol! Laugh, that was a joke. So, are they tweeting cooking recipes? Are they telling their followers that they are ok and safely not in prison? 

How many tenants you know that left VH and kept using normally their twitter that was created for vh purpose with their vh name??

Yes, indeed, the idea of voyeurism is quite stretched out, especially on VHTV. It’s almost nonexistent. Tentants are litterally performing sex acts to the cams now. The idea of these sites was supposed to be an act of “fly on the wall” type voyeurism. Of course, they would know about the cams, but the idea was to act as if they weren’t there. It’s as close as we can legally get to the real thing I suppose. But, like all good things it went to crap out of pure greed by the site operators and the utter demand for constant sex and more sex and even more sex. You get the idea. VHTV has managed to convince most everyone here that anything they do is voyeurism and they go along cause they gets them more of what they want (need). It’s not a voyeur house, it’s a camstar house where camstars work the cams and meet the demands of the subscribers in exchange for money. 

So what's the legality issue here? It isn't illegal if it's not true voyeurism. (I know it's not real) Just saying. If they're being shut down by authorities, on what basis? They aren't stupid enough to believe it's real and the tenants have no knowledge of the blatant cameras screwed to their walls everywhere.
