Disney has its own manufacturing facility for custom steel fabrication components

They need a diverse range of aesthetic designs that are structurally sound. Some structures in Disney are very unique, the first one that comes to mind is the Epcot ball. I can also see this material application being used in their animatronics possibly(jurassic world trex comes to mind). Other use cases might be nonload bearing walls and fences, there are a lot of walls in disney

It might also be needed for realistic physics rendering for pixar as well but I might be wrong though. First thing that comes to mind is the movie Cars and crash simulations on materials with this wall type.

They might have use cases for building souvenirs with these type of items. Disney imports a lot of stuff overseas and has a large number of facilities for JIT staging and manufacturing for custom things like specialty stamped glassware souvenirs coffee mugs etc. Those are done locally, at least thats what Universal Studios does

I might be wrong here too but they might want intentional deformation for reasons i do not know about. It could be for visual safety reasoms as well, you place this material adjacent to something load bearing. Similarly how civil engineers will put an elastic material on a broken wall to observe crack deformation. Youngs modulus on a sheet of metal of similar gauge thickness is going to be always higher than what these materials offer. Money is not an issue with disney at all.

Im not entirely sure if they intend to make 3D structures with this, or use laser sintering to build custom composite alloys with these materials. They are using finite element analysis with a combination of statistics to make these models.

There might be actual cost saving reasons behind these materials. Or it might be faster manufacturing and prototyping for small animatronics, they need lots of those in short time frames. Those materials are most likely laser sintered which is kind of like 3D printing which is used often in mechanical shops for prototypes. 3D printing plastic offers no elasticity deformation generally

Other things that come to mind with these materials. Cutting board mats, bracelets, mats, polygons, shape memory alloys (heat it up to change its shape), balls, necklaces, board games, yoyos, string games, anything you can 3D print, clothing, cosplay (e.g. lots of disney starwars stormtroopers), build you own mini deathstar kits (usually prelasered sheets of metal you fold), gundam model kits or similar, legos. Those are just some applications for souvenirs disney might use with it

I don’t see why the “synchronized play” strategy described in your last paragraph also doesn’t violate the no signaling of any kind rule. If I have a Two but no One, then by consciously not playing on the first second of play I am signaling something. Am I missing something?

Between worrying about private companies trampling democracy and the politicians themselves - gerrymandering, voter suppression, insecure voting machines, etc., I’m much more worried about the politicians.
I haven't done it but I see no reason why it would be hard. You just tell it the domain to use which should be able to include the subdomain. One thing is that usually you point the domain's nameserver at the mailinabox server and it sets up all the right records for you. If you can do that on a subdomain then it's super easy. If not you just have to manually set all the records. Mailinabox shows you everything to set if you do it this way though.
The funding for universal health care would have to come from somewhere, probably higher taxes. So instead of being invested, the money would be stuffed into an inefficient system. There's also the matter of scale, US system would be far larger than any individual Euro country and thus more expensive due to bureaucracy. Also the issue of the US having much lower population density and how to handle that, ie are rural people going to have to drive 5 hours to get the health care their taxes pay for?

Also worth noting that the US is essentially the profit center for the entire world's pharma industry. If that was eliminated investment would be reduced globally, not just the US. US citizens are currently subsidizing European countries public healthcare.

Agreed. Clearly what’s been done for the last 40-50 years hasn’t led to more companies spreading more wealth. It’s led to fewer companies spreading the wealth more narrowly.

The answer is not to do the same thing that’s been done for the last several decades. That’s insanity. The solution is to empower the individuals.

Pretend I'm the guy you'd hand your resignation letter to. Can't we talk this over? What can I change so that you'll enjoy working here again? Why didn't you just say so?

I believe most technical people are better-equipped to handle life's information overload, even though they tend to work for nontechnical people. The people running your venture rely on abstractions in how they manage working with you and your workflow. These abstractions work most of the time (and in fact are just about their only coping mechanism) but here is an instance where they've failed. I bring this up because your investors are ignoring you as their coping mechanism, not because they don't respect you but because this is the only way they know how to deal.

Getting them to pay attention, and positive attention, is the trick. You owe it to yourself to at least try. I'd look into offering to hire the replacement yourself and if they agree, focusing full time on that, with two caveats: you get the budget the job requires, and after 30 days, hire or no hire, you're done.

There has to be a happy medium between dropping the mic and walking off and living in dysfunctional SV hell. You can always switch to one of those if your compromise attempt fails.

Ok, your last paragraph is the most interesting, because it makes me think that I'm not sure how exactly you imagine this working, and maybe I'm missing important details. I'd love you to explain a bit further how this will work - who is paying whom exactly, etc, to make sure we're on the same page.

That said, let me address some of your points:
> In the current industry the authors are required to publish papers in the most reputed journal rights for maximum rewards [...] They can also theoratically censor the articles or authors that they don't like [...]

I agree with all of this, and would love for the system to change. But this is basically orthogonal to the blockchain - it only requires everyone to decide to give more prestige to whatever new entity replaces it, whether it runs on the blockchain or not. Furthermore, the blockchain does not fix any of the incentive problems by itself (again, unless you imagine something I'm missing here). Specifically, even if everything moves to the blockchain, if it ever loses prestige, then people won't want to publish there anymore, and we're back to square one. And the existence of new, open-access journals (and things like Arxiv) prove that you don't need the blockchain to solve this problem - it's completely an incentives/economic/etc problem, and the tech here is incidental.

> I don't think dumps of data running around like that of StackOverFlow doesn't help much. Many sites have got heat for modifying the user comments or reviews in the past. The average person who is using a site is not going to go through the reviews and the dumps of data and see whether anything has been modified or not.

Well, yes, but the average user isn't going to be downloading the entire blockchain, or running algs to make sure nothing was modified, either. But in fact you can find dumps of the Stack Overflow data, and they're probably hashed, so someone could always prove what was the original content, even if the "central entity" here (Stack Overflow itself) decides to one day try to censor something.

> StackOverflow makes money by storing the questions and answers. Thats the incentive mechanism.

Not, really? I mean, sure, they store things, but in terms of money, they make money by selling advertising, job listings, etc.

As I said before, the other stuff you wrote is a lot more interesting, but I'm not sure I'm getting it - who is paying money here, or another way to say it, how is money getting into the system? Right now, publishers make money, and afaik, the reviewers and the contributors mostly don't. I'd love to fix that too, but, how does the blockchain help to do that? And specifically, what does it do that I can't replace by building the equivalent of a Stack Overflow for publishing?

Default implementations on protocols in Swift definitely can be a little dangerous. We've shied our team away from doing this unless the protocol is explicitly used as a mix-in type.

Shortsightedness has nothing to do with regulation and everything to do with incentives (options) and liability. Strong regulations for disclosure with protection from liability seems like a good idea.
Sure, $35->$170 over the course of 6 years is a solid return. But it's not obvious to me that Facebook will be able to maintain that same growth rate over the next 6 years...(that would put them at a $2T market cap).

So it's unlikely that any one who invested in Facebook post-IPO will ever see 1000x returns ($100T market cap?)...or even 100x ($10T market cap) returns.

It still might be a buy...but is it life-changing returns?
Interesting. Would you mind explaining more what you mean by opening the platform without requiring a signup? It sounds really literal but I'm at lost on how this would work. I mean, someone needs to have an account in order to do something.
Increase competitive opportunity and capital at the bottom (give easier chances for small upstarts to compete and win).

How much capital would it take for “small upstarts” to effectively compete with any of the FAANG companies? A small upstart may be able to go viral and overtake Facebook, but the rest of the companies are much more capital intensive.
I agree, those are reasonable interpretations made from somebody who has done a close reading of the text.

Or you know, somebody could just write a computer program that described the rules unambiguously so everybody could inspect them and not have to make reasonable interpretations.
Tox has received a lot of criticism for originally implementing non-standard encryption and being difficult to use. Although claimed by developers to be easy to use for anyone, Tox suffers from overengineering. Clients have many layers of abstraction copied from Skype which makes it difficult to audit and to submit pull requests. Overall, however, clients have a very good ease of use and look aesthetically pleasing.

People absolutely band together and volunteer to build things without a financial or other material incentive. They do it for fun, from open-source projects to festivals like Burning Man.

The catch is, of course, that they do so after having secured the material means for that. You don't go play music just for fun is you're starving. But when you reliably are not starving, you can find resources for having fun.

I'm pretty sure companies would be happy to brick your computer for trying to access unlicensed copy of "their" data, if it wasn't for legal consequences that would follow.
This is like this guy I played Golden Eye with once who had one place on the map between the body armor and the best gun and refused to move from the spot. Said the point is to employ the optimal strategy to win, right? I set the control down on the other half of the map, and he goes, “I guess it’s a stalemate, and I’m in the lead, do you surrender?”

Cracked me up. I said no and started walking in small circles. Then when he’d finally gotten tired and started coming out, I knew the maps well enough that I was always as far away from him as possible. Said the point is not to lose, right? Then he quit.
With a jailbroken Kindle you can, for instance, install koreader[1], a feature-rich alternative ebook reader application that enhances the somewhat limited capabilities of Kindle’s native reader.

For instance, with koreader you can open djvus, epubs, fb2 (if you’re onto those formats), but what makes koreader especially appealing to me is that it is a far better pdf reader than Kindle’s native.

Or you can look for a pool of available hacks[2] that make Kindle’s overall usage far more suited to your own particular needs. One example is the screensavers hack that allows you to choose either to use your own images (somewhat interesting if you’re onto customizing them to your tastes); or you can, as I prefer, to use that last displayed screen as the screensaver, as this allows you to keep a book’s opened page in display while you are taking notes or doing some other book research related task.

Some of these new features are now so essential to my Kindle’s experience that I can’t imagine myself using an original one without jailbreaking it. Also, I have my Kindle since 2015 and I’m in no hurry to get a newer or more capable model. As it is, it is very tailored to my academic needs.

That mostly applies to corporate environments which already want to use their own resolvers anyway. For most people DNS over dTLS should work fine and if anything should be implemented on the OS level.

If anywhere in the world has figured out how to dress for heat and humidity, it's the Indian subcontinent, and all I'm saying is the sari involves bare midriff for a reason. I live in the southeast and spend a lot of time outside. To cut down on my sunscreen bill, I've started wearing loose, long sleeve white cotton button ups with the last few buttons undone so I can tie the ends up around my waist.

You catch a breeze wearing that, and it's like wearing a weightless AC unit on your back. Hand to God.
Yes, I think that's what they meant.
Manually setting static resolvers is not adequate in many scenarios.

For example, when the user roams among several networks, and each of them has split-horizon DNS, the user is not going to re-set their setting after connecting to each specific network. Throw in VPN connections and their DNS settings, and you have quite a problem at hand.

There's a reason why DNS settings are traditionally set system-wide via DHCP, not statically. This is a step backwards.
It's true that URL shorteners use has changed how it was used a few years back but it's still very relevant.

One very good use case of link shorteners is marketing & sales campaigns. A lot of marketing companies like to share short and branded custom links on social media and later check the click and other stats to see the conversion rate.

I have also seen companies using URL shorteners for internal link sharing.

I have two real cases where my project is used are:

- One of the schools in Spain uses the project website(pygy.co) for creating secret links and sharing with students in school competitions. They share the password with the winners(I received an email from them).
- One of the company is China has forked the project and are using it.

Anyhow, I created this as a personal project for learning purpose but I can see it's use cases.
Presentations linking to the demo, links to an exam sign in, or some other type of event where the person giving the link does not necessarily have a contact with the person who needs to be clicking on it, but having the full link would be onerous to jot down.
Individual investors don't need to pick single stocks to benefit from growth. These companies also don't have a presence in various etfs and mutual funds that people can invest in, and it's not unreasonable to think that a wider selection of say small-cap growth companies might make for a better selection of small-cap stocks to put in an index.
There are some rules around this, as noted in https://nomothetis.svbtle.com/the-ghost-of-swift-bugs-future:

IF the inferred type of a variable is the protocol:
AND the method is defined in the original protocol
THEN the runtime type’s implementation is called, irrespective of whether there is a default implementation in the extension.
AND the method is not defined in the original protocol,
THEN the default implementation is called.
ELSE IF the inferred type of the variable is the type
THEN the type’s implementation is called.

Maybe smaller companies just don't need to go public as early as before because they are able to get funding through private investors. Also, if they show potential, they might just us easily get bought out.

There are two ways to look at this. The article paints a negative light on these statistics. But as a small firm, it would be nicer and less troublesome to just get funding through private firms than having to jump through hoops of going to the exchange. It might be more efficient.
Not surprising given how greedy top listed companies are, gobbling up smaller ones and eating away competition, and thus, consolidating wealth.

The two problems are one and the same. Massive disparities of wealth create massive disparities of political power. Concentrated wealth then funds political efforts to keep their bought-and-paid-for politicians in office.
Refusing to host neo-Nazis might be inconsistent, but calling it "evil" is pushing it.
It appears the correct action would have been to use <code>override func greet() {
print("sup")
}</code>.

To be fair, I was primed to really think about the code execution given he'd indicated there was a trap in there somewhere, so it certainly would not have been immediately obvious on first glance. But I think, generally developers understand that <code>override</code> is necessary to override code from a parent class.

Typically XCode helps out with this sort of thing – adding <code>override</code> where it seems like it should be added – but perhaps not when a parent class is using a default protocol implementation.

But again, in this scenario where a class is inheriting from another class, it's typically known you need to override the function in order to use your own implementation, so this does seem a bit contrived.
The conditions were an inescapable sense that something had been going wrong with my life for a long time, and then getting very lucky: an acquaintance of mine is a genius and sort of transitioned several years ago into being a health guru, focused on addressing subclinical health conditions precisely like the kind that had been bugging me. I had a lot of faith in him, worked hard at it, and 8 years or so later am enjoying the benefits. Life is still challenging, but it's great deal better.

The genius is Paul Jaminet. Check out his work if you think you might benefit. I've also benefited from paying attention to the blogs of Chris Kresser, Mark Sisson, and Scott Alexander (his health-related posts of course). Google Scholar and Sci-Hub get huge credit too.
