Multiple NFTs from the same source - cryptocurrency

General NFT question, but don't flame me, I really tried to find the answer.
Could NFT be created from the same image or copy of this image?
For example, take this NFT Lion Cat that I created:
https://rarible.com/token/0x60f80121c31a0d46b5279700f9df786054aa5ee5:1200950?
Can someone download the image and create an NFT from it?
I mean, isn't it part of the idea that this is original content by me and I have the copyrights for it?
In the Image area, you got the RAW image that proves you took this picture, nobody but the photographer has this RAW image. But to create this image NFT I didn't have to provide it.

Could NFT be created from the same image or copy of this image?
Can someone download the image and create an NFT from it?
Yes to both questions. It is technically possible to create multiple NFTs that all represent the same image. They can be placed in the same collection, as well as across multiple collections.
As NFTs basically contain links to this image, it's not possible to prevent someone from creating a link to a public resource, i.e. from creating another NFT representing the same image.
I mean, isn't it part of the idea that this is original content by me and I have the copyrights for it?
The ERC-721 standard mostly defines just the technical specifications. But it doesn't really cover the licensing, ownership/authorship of the underlying resource, and other non-technical topics.
An NFT only proves ownership of the token - not copyrights of the image. Also, it proves ownership by an address - not by a person. Because there can be zero to multiple people holding a private key to the same address (holding the NFT representing the image).

OCR reader in reactjs

I am new in reactjs and I have a task in hand. I need to be build and application which is capable to scan a mykad(Malaysian ID card) through camera. Details like name, address, image can be extracted. I googled a bit about open source tesseract but it is not giving me the right information and also some of the informations are misspelled. If anyone can guide me in the right direction.
Eventually I will develop a PWA and deploy in mobiles as well
If you're looking for a free solution, Tesseract.js is your way to go: https://tesseract.projectnaptha.com
You need to be aware that reading data from MyKads will not only require OCR component, but also specifying semantics for the document. Meaning, you'll need to tell tesseract where the name is, where the address is, etc.
Also, tesseract will not be able to detect the document on the image. For this you'll need to use a different tool.
Disclaimer: I'm working at Microblink where we develop commercial OCR products, including one for reading data from IDs. For PWAs we have an JavaScript / TypeScript component which uses WASM to process the IDs. It supports not only MyKads but more than 500 document types in the world.

Access Database for Links

I am trying to create a database that can be used in my office. What I am trying to do is create a form where a user can input a link such as "www.stackoverflow.com" and it pulls up information about that link. For example, when we are reviewing documents, if we saw the link "www.stackoverflow.com" we would have to create an Alternate Text that instead would read "Stack Overflow Website" if it was being read by a screen reader.
We deal with so many links across so many documents that it can be hard for my team to be consistent document to document, person to person. So having this database would allow someone to enter the url and then it would pull up the alt text we have for it in multiple languages. I am learning and trying to figure out databases but I am not very well knowledged on how to put it all together within Access.
I would appreciate any kind of help or pushes in the right direction.

How can I analyse instagram pictures?

I ve the task to crowd and analyse a set of instagram users's posts, including texts and pictures. I don t need to know the user identity.
In particular, I ve to use the images to train some machine learning classifier/regressor. So that I need to temporaly store the picture to extract visual features.
Reading the instagram API policy I m a bit confused :
Comply with any requirements or restrictions imposed on usage of Instagram user photos and videos ("User Content") by their respective owners. You are solely responsible for making use of User Content in compliance with owners' requirements or restrictions.
14 only store or cache User Content for the period necessary to provide your app's service.
17.Don't apply computer vision technology to User Content, without our prior permission
11 => what are the common owner's restrictions? I mean, when people post a picture on instagram do they set any restriction or are they publicly available? And then there are some cases of pictures with restrictions
14 => i have not to build or sell any app. I need to store the pictures just the time needed for the analysis. However, according to this point I could store pictures on a drive and than remove them when finished. Did I get the point or I m wrong?
17 => I guess that this point is related to image manipulation. Not analysis.
I hope that someone can clarify me what can I do, considering my purpose. As an example, at this page you can see a project in which a set of instagram picture have been crowled, labelled and analysed. The downloadable file doesn t contain the pictures, but just their instagram ids.

Storing Images in SQL Server database

I'm trying to create a sample ASP.NET MVC application with a ViewModel and onion architecture - very simple online shop.
So as you suppose this shop has products, and each product should have one very small image and when user clicks on that product, he is redirected to a details page, and of course he should see a bigger image of the product.
AT first I thought, it's a simple application, I would (internet) links to the pictures in the database. But then I thought, ok what about when this image is erased from internet, my product will no longer have an image.
So I should store those pictures in the database somehow. I have heard about something called FileStream that is the right way but I found no material to understand what is that.
I hope someone would help me.
There are several options. You could save the picture in the database using a varbinary.
Read here how to read it using MVC.
When you opt for a solution where you split database and file storage, which is perfectly possible, you should consider that it could mean extra maintenance for cross-checking deleted records, etc.
If you choose the last option, the information in the article will mostly suite your needs too.

How do I plot the points (data) from the database to the OpensStreetMap?

I wonder how the mapping thing works in the OpenStreetMap. I'm building an app that uses my own database(which I will build using OSM dumps using Osmosis; same as in the OpenStreetMap website). I have really no idea how it works. Thanks in advance! :D
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Develop is your friend for these kind of answers. They explain (depening on the page) pretty detailed how things work.
I don't know how Osmosis does things since we are working with osm2pgsql but I assume they are almost similar: It basically looks for certain tags (since everything is "tagged" by the OSM community) and stores it in the database. So if you have a supermarket POI "some_supermarket" that has a tag "supermarket" an entry in the database will reflect these infos and the coordinates. Streets, buildings and so on are only coordinates that get connected when rendering or processing it.
If you ask for the rendering of the tiles/geo-images, there are renderes available that do these tasks. The wiki from above will give you lots of answers, just search for "renderer". They just retrieve the information (depenging on zoom level and your setting) from the database for a certain bounding box and interpret the data from the database e.g. the know that a street is connected and needs to be colored in grey.
