I have no idea, sorry. It would be very interesting if it were true, but it sounds like a bit of an urban legend. Working within the constraints of limited resources seemed to be a constant in all of Japan's pre-bubble successes, from comics, to calculators, so I wouldn't assume there would be any extraordinary reason for early Japanese animators to follow the same principles.

My interpretation was that anime's more limited, stylized animation was due to its direct influence from the prolific manga artist and animator Osamu Tezuka (sometimes called "the Walt Disney of Japan.") All comics, Western or Eastern, must heavily stylize motion in order to have any hope of expressing it in still frames. So having an accomplished dramatic comic artist lead most of the earliest, most influential Japanese animations, most of which were direct adaptations of his comics, working with the low framerate stylized motions that extended naturally from comic book stills, seems to have had a profound effect on the Japanese school.

In contrast, Disney's early animations were inspired by conventional cartooning in subject, and early film and Vaudeville in motion, so given Disney's influence, it should similarly not be surprising that the Western animation school tended towards comedy and fluid motion that attempted to emulate the impression of film.

Limitations often breed art. Compare what George Lucas did when he was on a shoe-string budget to what he did when money was no object... frequently directly to what he made when he was on a budget. Pixel art is appreciated by people because they can see the limitation and appreciate how the artist worked around it. However, restricting yourself to pixel art does mean adopting a limitation voluntarily when you probably also have a lot of other ones to deal with too. Sometimes one more limitation is one limitation too many.

Pixel art is very trendy right now, but it probably won't remain so forever. Shooting film in black and white used to be all that was possible. Then it became what was cheap. Today, we still see some B&W films for aesthetic reasons, but it's very uncommon. Pixel art will probably become very similar to B&W film eventually. Seldom used, but used for a specific effect when it is used.

There's room for plenty of aesthetics besides pixel art and "HD" though. With modern displays, there's no reason that games can't borrow aesthetics from other mediums. Watercolors, comic book print, you name it. Heck, even though it's similar to pixels, I'd kill to see a good game created to look like a Byzantine mosaic! Adopting these limitations when appropriate offers artists a chance to take on problems nobody has seen handled before, and it's therefore more interesting than just working with the same artificial limitation everyone else is currently working with.

I'd just like to expand on the idea of a mosaic aesthetic a little bit more. It may seem like mosaics are just irregularly shaped pixels, but it's actually much more than that. Mosaics were made out of a variety of materials that scattered and reflected light in very different ways. Some tiles were matte, some colored glass, and others backed in gold leaf to amp up their reflectivity. Mosaic tiles were also angled to reflect light very strategically, allowing the artist to make some features grab your eye. A mosaic-based game would require a virtual mosaic toolset that would give artists the ability to simulate different tile materials and angles and a lighting engine to render the results. The resulting image would have complexity on a much smaller scale than a single tile.

I... think you have an unfortunate typo here?
SD card slot works fine in Android 5.x, a similar experience as in Android 2.3. One can install apps there, one can put private files there, it even support per app-storage there. Sure some old apps may not work with the newer Android 5 APIs, but there are usually alternatives. What do you miss, what do I miss?

And it's far cheaper to insert a 128GB SD card than buying a phone with such storage capacity upfront. Also changing a SD card or upgrading one is possible too.

Replaceable sim-cards/sd-cards/battery/etc are good for the consumer.
I wonder if there is any analysis here to be had on the success of a startup and board member composition.

I dunno if the water would be too muddied by the bias of success or not, but it might be worth poking around at, for someone with the requisite dataset.
Why are you asking this question? The answer is none of your business. One should be able to travel with as much cash as one chooses.
Without seeing a lot more context, I think it's believable that this is indeed just the result of using Bootstrap.

Originality is vanishingly rare (if it exists at all, which I sometimes doubt), and it's certainly possible for multiple parties to independently end up with very similar designs, especially if those parties are all using common underlying tools.

Hey. Do you have the expertise needed to weigh in on my question? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9536840 Thanks!
I heard a truly tragic story related to the civil forfeiture rule. Heard from a friend who heard from a friend.

The family hired an older lady (immigrant, but lived many years in US) who came to clean their house a few times a week. She shared that she had been divorced from her husband but in the process ended up with the house. Being retired with no income (and probably no pension of any kind other than social security which is not enough), she decided to rent a spare room to someone.

Guess what. The dude renting it turned out to be a drug dealer (or was it just getting caught smoking weed?). When HE was arrested, somehow the law enforcement (not sure if local PD or DEA) made a connection to HER house. The house was seized. This older lady ended up having to stay with friends and going around working as cleaning/care-taker. Because her house was suddenly taken away from her, she had no other means of supporting her later years in life.

When I first heard it, I was like WHAT~~~? This was a few years ago.

And than I started reading about local PD seizing private property on minor charges.
The scale of the civil forfeitures industry has increased drastically in the last 15 to 20 years. Most Americans are not yet aware of how large it has become, because it affects a relatively small percentage of people, and only in the last few years have the major news outlets begun to write about it (eg NY Times or Washington Post).

When you have a country of 330 million people as large geographically as the US, it's very difficult as a citizen in one state, to be aware of what a national agency (the DEA) is doing across the entire nation, unless the national news outlets are writing about it.

While a typical American is going about their day to day life, living a local life (some town, in some county, in some state), the world's largest, most powerful federal / national government is aggressively attempting to undermine them in hundreds of ways large and small.

The US has a federal government that is financially the size of the entire economy of Germany, doing nothing but passing more laws, economic regulations, taxes, et al. to strangle liberty as much as they can and increase their power. There is very little else they do, or need to do. What does a beast that large do? Protect itself, entrench its own interests, grab more money, write more laws - there is nothing else for it to do most of the time.

Try doing something about that, or even thinking about how you can stop it, if you're an average citizen. It boggles the mind. Oh yeah, while you're at it, deal with the fact that the US military (which the NSA belongs to) is now increasingly taking aim at the US domestic population, you know, the world's most powerful military with a $600 billion budget.

Now compare this situation to the complexity faced by, say, Finland (5.4 million people) in trying to reign in or adjust its government system. The US has something like 200,000 pages of federal regulations; try fixing that, while the vast dedicated law passing machine is busy passing thousands of new regulations.

It isn't going to stop expanding and over-reaching until it crashes, choking itself to death.
Some Paths to the True Knowledge
What's the articulable suspicion? "He had the money, so we took it" about sums it up. In its time, I believe civil forfeiture can serve a just and necessary purpose, but this is not it.
The can try to question you all they want, but you don't have to answer. It isn't wrong for the cop to ask and it isn't wrong for you to not answer.

How do you live in such a bliss ignorance where supposedly an order of magnitude difference in performance between two state of the art browsers doesn't make you reconsider even for a second that you might have not written a working benchmark? :)

Sorry but unless you have deep knowledge of how both engines and browsers work (knowing how `appendChild` is actually implemented for starters), you simply cannot write a working benchmark. Even then, it's very hard and tedious.

If you don't have time to obtain such expertise, you could take a shortcut and compare realistic end-to-end benchmark. E.g. if your game runs at 210-270 fps in firefox but only at 30 fps in chrome, then you could claim that "firefox blows chrome out of the water".

It's very easy (just look at 80%+ of jsperfs) to construct benchmarks that don't look completely broken to the untrained eye but actually are. The common theme is the benchmark missing many aspects of realistic code and being reduced to measuring irrelevant optimizing compiling features. For example the benchmark could only be measuring how thorough the engine's dead code elimination pass is even though what you wanted to benchmark is string concatenation performance.
I see what you're getting at.

But I also am convinced that, would you present this on public television or anything with a similar broad distribution, you'd persuade many people to support civil forfeiture (or the NSA dragnet), because it's obviously effective against crime!

In the general public, only a minority seems to still be interested that means are somehow proportionate to the ends. THINK OF THE CHILDREN! INCARCERATE EVERYONE!

Yes, vote 3rd party. That is essentially "none of the above."
That depends on the price.

I just checked out WSJ and NY Times. After promo, WSJ is $29/month. That's whether or not you want actual paper or just digital access. NY Times has various plans, one of the cheapest is about $16/month. So that's just two newspapers.

I'd gladly pay $20 or even $30 per month for full access to all the major newspapers. But the big papers would never agree to that, because their individual cuts of the pie would probably be too small.
Japan already does this (yes I mean the whole country)
If it helps, try to consider the incident as it struck me: you did top-notch work, really polished it up to offer your customers a quality of experience pretty much unparalleled in your market, and witnessed the disheartening collateral damage of having inspired the wholly uninspiring.

> Most of the time there is no trial because the person they took the money from doesn't go back to claim it. Why?

Because the time and/or money cost of fighting the theft is more than the value of the money stolen? Court isn't cheap. Court is appallingly expensive.

NOTE: I am absolutely not making the claim that there has never been an instance of a right and just asset forfeiture case.
In common usage, theft is the taking of another person's property without that person's permission or consent with the intent to deprive the rightful owner of it.

We are unable to give consent (consent implies choice), so it is theft through coercion (prison).

Sounds like there weren't any grownups around, honestly. I'm also getting the feeling that it's a fire-happy kind of place, maybe I'm wrong but that could explain the note-passing childishness. Maybe they were afraid of getting canned if they talked back to you.

I don't know if this is a lesson about being nice or a lesson about dealing with different personality types, I guess it depends on how much of an asshole you actually were. Personally I'd prefer an environment where you call my work "shit" and I say you have your head up your ass, it saves time and it's better than passive-aggressive weirdness and underhandedness but not everybody is like that.

Any place where people are arbitrarily fired is going to be toxic though, the reaction from the CTO and a few other things I've heard about Facebook kind of makes me think that's what's going on.
Civil forfeiture appears to be one of the few issues that does not have a clear partisan breakdown. I would suggest the biggest issue is inertia, and raising awareness that change needs to occur. Here's a good background: http://www.vox.com/2015/1/20/7860363/equitable-sharing-polic...
I'd expect them to open source various components of it before they open source the whole shebang. I.e., I'd expect to see them put Chakra out, maybe the browser chrome, the parsers, etc. before they put out all of edgehtml.dll. I could be wrong.

Edge (and particularly IE) are fairly heavily tied to the OS in a bunch of places. IE, for example, can do weird FTP and Windows Explorer stuff. The infamous "Internet Settings" dialog and the way IE deals with stuff like proxy servers is only sort-of part of IE. IE's network stack is largely dependant on the bits and pieces available in the OS below (consider IE11 can only use SPDY on Windows 8). I wouldn't be surprised if open sourcing the browser wholesale would start unraveling a lot of things that MS doesn't intend to be public.
You may not agree with the principle (I certainly don't), but calling it theft is no different from a libertarian doing the same with taxation.

I would say that calling civil forfeiture as theft makes more sense then comparing civil forfeiture to taxation. Unless you live in an area where "taxation" means armed men come to your house and demand all your cash on April 15th.

Honestly, I don't really buy the argument that in cases like this, its wrong to call the action theft. I don't find the terms mutually exclusive depending on the context.
A similar thing happened to me years ago. I had a project that surprisingly became a bit popular and there were two competitor projects that ripped on the work.

The first one ripped our entire site and simply changed all the texts slightly, and also the look of our system. But, it was oddly different code - why copy the look completely (including our graphics) if you are going to write a new system?

The second one, done by a somewhat semi-famous person at the time, copied our minimal, custom forum. I have no idea how much work that must have been to port Vanilla to look like ours. Friends asked me if I had joined their team which is how I found out.

I never publicly said anything which chewed me up for a really long time. Both of those projects failed long ago. A copycat likely also won't know how to do other things for themselves and you can bet that they won't know how to execute their project when things get serious.

Cushionapp, you're doing it right. Make your app as innovative and unique as you can and just keep doing your thing. Never bother looking at their site/app again...

This is why we can never, ever trust the government to "do the right thing". They have a law that should be used against real criminals, and instead they use it against regular innocent citizens. This is disgusting, and guess what: it's going to happen time and time again whenever we give the government too much power over our lives. And yet, it's happening right now.

Copying and modifying is a sensible way to learn. Doesn't mean you should ever pass it off as your own, but there's value in understanding how something else works by poking at it. Then throw it away and write your own, or find an appropriate Open Source project to work from.
I don't think that makes sense. It is kind of like selling TCP/IP before the internet age ; network standards should be just that - an open standard that is open to all players.

This is an interesting point. If the only way to avoid submission of information to your bank is to forego banking services, then this is not a meaningful choice, and you're not giving up the information voluntarily.

It is analogous to the point a judge made in a case here:
http://fourthamendment.com/?p=10373

"The submission of prescription information to the PDMP is required by law. The only way to avoid submission of prescription information to the PDMP is to forgo medical treatment or to leave the state. This is not a meaningful choice."

Yes, the board is elected by the stockholders.

Absent an alternative structure, default corporate laws provide for the directors of a company with only one class of common stock to be elected by majority vote of the stockholders.

However, there are all sorts of alternative structures that can alter this default. For example, it is common in a VC-backed company that preferred stockholders are given the right to designate a specified number of board members. The right is usually laid out in the company's certificate of incorporation or a voting agreement among the stockholders.

You missed the point. Of course whatever 3rd party you vote for won't make it. But it's a registered vote, and it takes a vote away from the two parties.

How is voting for a Rep or Dem not a wasted vote, considering what they're doing to us?

3rd parties aren't fucking us (yet). Vote for whoever isn't fucking us, not because they might win (they won't), but to register the protest.
It's so unfortunate that being nasty works for those guys. I've seen so many people who effectively equate Apple's success to "the leader of Apple being an arsehole" and decide they too want to be Steve Jobs.

I am of the (entirely uneducated) opinion that Jobs wasn't successful because he was an arsehole, but that he could only get away with being an arsehole because he was so successful.
Today, most money aren't even in physical circulation. Most of the gold in the world sits in some cold dark vault.

This kind of hearing wouldn't be extremely expensive unless it involved some complexities like an "innocent owner" affirmative defense.

Sure, if the government took 500 bucks, ya they are kind of fucking you. But for 10k you should fight in court.

In that respect it's a lot less oppressive than most government civil actions. If the EPA sues you, we are talking tens of thousands in legal fees.

Though I'd support making the government pay attorneys fees in cases where the money was found not to be illegal. That should prevent government from just going around and stealing money in bad faith.
I've never understood how this could possibly be held constitutional. It's just so at odds with everything I've ever believed about our justice system. The abuses seem to get worse every day, and it just depresses me.
Guess who defines who the rightful owner of property is? Government.
The law is rather clear, if dismal: privacy is not a right, only surprise violations of privacy are illegal. Once the government starts abusing people enough , it is no longer an expectation of privacy. See also the prohibition against "unusual" punishment.
Also they call it peer-to-peer (IIRC) and now it comes with an annual fee (how about, maybe a one time charge?). Also the software felt pretty complicated with the Pro update.

In the beginning it was all amazing. But we all know we can't have nice things.
