This is about being able to package and provide the Weta toolset to Unity developers. Imagine making video games with the Weta toolset.

Exactly what I do and I love it. The AppleTV Plex app was a game changer.

If we learned anything from Lawn Darts, it was this.

Maybe.

Those who survived lawn darts learned nothing.

Roll? Pitch? Yaw? Engine RPM? Prop pitch?

Those are “most” of the controls... none of which require touchscreens.

What controls are you referring to specifically?

Then don’t upgrade.

What happens when your laptop goes bust and you need to get a new one?

Unfortunately, just because you spend more doesn’t mean you get what you pay for.

I spent 3 years in an education startup and I never saw such a correlation.

First time I saw it was surreal.

I was on a wine tour and on the way back to the hotel looked out the window and was gobsmacked. “Woah... that’s the Spruce Goose! The Spruce Goose is here!?!”

Cancelled the next day’s tour and hit up the museum instead.

Highly recommended.

> The Spruce Goose is here!?!”

And a 747 on the roof.

If your team can't check on that stuff manually for a few hours while Slack is down, then I think you may have bigger problems.

If anyone on my team came to me and cited Slack being down as a reason for their inability to do their job, then they wouldn't be on my team.

Is it less than ideal? Yes. Is it a little bit less efficient to pull info instead of having it pushed to you? Yes.

Is the sky falling? No.

Then how do you explain the Maersk blockchain-based insurance trial that they found very successful?

Bitcoin is not the only incentive that can be had in implementing blockchain technology.

There are a number of very promising use cases for blockchain, in education, healthcare, energy... none of which involve bitcoin at all.

All "block chain" is is a Merkle tree. You can do all sorts of productive, interesting stuff with Merkle trees.

If you want to do interesting things with a trust-less, decentralized system, you need the mining and mining rewards.

There are a few file sharing applications that do interesting things with trust-less, decentralized systems, without any sort of mining or mining rewards.

Mining allows for high value transactions in a low trust environment, but lower value transactions are very possible without that.

IMO Tit for Tat is a much more interesting form of consensus building as it can be very low resource. But it's really all about the goals not the protocol.

It's more of a linked-list of Merkle trees.

Were any of these trials interesting enough to be attacked?

>education, healthcare, energy

I'm not asking for dissertations but could someone briefly explain how any of these problems/industries will be effected by blockchain.

Hype, Consultants, Buzzwords baffling executives

Someone watched Jon Oliver...

Whataboutism is an old school red-scare term literally coined to describe Soviet disinformation techniques.

I wonder if most people who use the term as an argument know this, or are aware of how it got into their lexicon.

Not only does the term imply one supports one side over the other (in this case Russian trolls), the term implicitly accuses one of being an actual Russian agent..

Can you post some links about this?

Search for 'whataboutism' wiki (and check the rational wiki as well).

> Lexicographers date the first appearance of the variant whataboutism to the 1990s,[1][4] while other historians state that during the Cold War Western officials referred to the Soviet and Russian propaganda strategy by that term.[7]

One of the iconic examples, though it predates the popularization of the term, is well-known/documented enough to have its own Wikipedia article.
