Talk:Great Invention Kit

message: I believe that it is more technically correct to describe how GIK fits together as "press-fit" rather than "snap-fit" Snap-fit uses a configuration that takes advantage of strain which, once the stress is relieved, goes away and allows components to lock together mechanically. Press-fit relies on friction, and is much more descriptive of the GIKs here.

message: GIK parts can be used as elementary parts for 3D printing. Imagine a machine able to build object by assembling together smaller-than-visible-with-naked-eye parts
. 
Assume these parts can be different materials. We will be able to print a variety of objects , very much like in Science Fiction movies or as imagined by Nanoscience Scientists : Universal assembler. The advantages of GIK over other techniques are it's proven feasibility, the vast material set that can be used and the reversibility of the construction.
----
Sorry.  Nanotechnology proper refers to "machines on the molecular scale (nanometer) designed and built atom-by-atom".  GIK is Interesting Technology Along the Way (ITAW), not nanotechnology.  It is also good to distinguish technology from science.

Talk:Pan (surname)

message: There are no sources cited for this information and it also neglects information on the fact that the surname Pan has existed far longer than the story that is being presented, some sources find it during the Spring and Autumn Period that predates the Qing dynasty by a long length of time.  Thich means the "Ping to Pan" story is but one (possibly a very minor) family line for those bearing the surname.
It is also possibly not quite correct in stating that the surname is "Pun" but mistakenly spelt as Poon by those who do not wish to create confusion within the English language as Poon is the official romanisation used in Hong Kong who do not necessarily use the Yale or Jyutping system, this is not to say that the origin of "Poon" isn't as stated in the article, but the use of Poon would be considered a correct romanisation regardless. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.242.93 (talk • contribs)

thread_title:  Fascism 

message: The article currently asserts, without citation, that the Blue Eagle is "a blue-colored representation of the American thunderbird". This may be true, but it needs to have a citation, because given the preexisting strong tradition within the United States of eagles in flags, emblems, and logos, which builds on the huge, centuries-long use of eagles and other birds of prey in heraldry, flags, and seals, it seems inevitable that these were also a part of the inspiration. See eagle (heraldry) (especially Eagle (heraldry)#Modern usage) and commons:Flags with animals#Birds of prey for info and examples. I see from the article history that this assertion was first added as part of a content-expansion edit that cited the Dictionary of American History by James Truslow Adams, New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1940. Even if the Thunderbird assertion is made in that book (would be nice to confirm, can't preview the book online), I still wouldn't necessarily repeat it in Wikipedia without knowing where Adams himself got it, because, given that (according to this article) sources differ on who designed the emblem, the question is, who was in a position to know, as opposed to assume, that the Thunderbird was the inspiration? Unless either Hugh Samuel Johnson or Charles T. Coiner ever said that's where the inspiration came from, it's not a useful claim, because no one else is in a position to know that the Thunderbird was the inspiration rather than the widespread symbolism mentioned above. I have decided to remove the assertion for now. Anyone who can trace it back to Johnson or Coiner is welcome to re-add it, but short of that level of sourcing, it could only be someone else's assumption. And if it was an assumption, it's a poor one, given the widespread symbolism mentioned above. — ¾-10 20:51, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: Yes, that would be described as a Stochastic Volatility MC model. A casual Google search ("Heston Monte Carlo") even uncovers source code for such a model within the first few hits:  . The basic idea is that two random processes have to be simulated: the first one represents the current volatility of the market, and the second random process is the asset price itself.
