The real question is not the name of the studio but the name of the person(s) hired to handle the job. If they're like Kathleen Kennedy, the franchise is toast.

Sparta is "capturing the modern imagination"? I thought we were supposed to think about Rome every day.

I think the key is to make a class of light-weight EVs with smaller, lighter batteries for life around town. Most of us rarely drive more than a few dozen miles a day. But then there are those weekend trips.

Yup. It's often much worse. Although that person may be lumping in the research professorships and various ass. dean positions.

So you're saying the key is to make bad content that puts people to sleep because you'll get more ad revenue. Make sense in this world.

Is the cost of pushing the water out of the way proportional to the square or the cube of the speed? I think with planes it's the cube. But I think that's a naive model.

This is a good point. They may lose rights if they fail to distribute for a certain amount of time. They may revert to the filmmaker or someone else. This is a way to comply contractually.

A coup? This was a general election and the person who won the election is allowed to choose his staff to run the executive branch. Pretty much everyone in the executive branch except the president and maybe the vice president is unelected.

IT's not so simple. Eventually there will be an interview and the person scoring the interview may have some bias. And as someone else points out, some schools like HBCU have names that carry racial coding.

Why are some great films mixed with some duds? This is classic Hollywood accounting. They sell N files for $M and then split the revenue evenly. The great film gets $M/N and so does every dud. In practice, the great film's revenue

Certainly "The Mission" is a great film. Absolutely top notch. And with one of Morricone's better scores.

Some are calling this "malicious compliance." That is, the bureaucrats don't like the boss so they look for the most extreme and obnoxious ways to try to follow the general direction given by the boss.

I thought the 40% number seemed lower than my experiences suggest. But this is a solid point that suggests that even 84% is too low. I guess it could be as high as 90%.

I get the opposite impression. People (like you) hate him because he's a pathological truth teller. He can't help but speak opinions that people don't want voiced.

Realistically, it's not fair to put many of the costs of iOS development on the App store. They would need to do it anyway. And if there were no App store, they would still be designing their product as a collection of independent apps

I agree. It's not possible to do. But that being said, if the AppStore were somehow spun off into a separate company, I think their costs would be less than 10% or even 5% of the cut that Apple takes from the AppStore sales. I'm s

I understand the appeal of using the same combinations everywhere, but I thought the great thing about the metric system was that it was easy to convert. So 8000 m/s is 8 km/s.

Is the control of these things good enough that there's no need for a steering mechanism? Or I should say "mechanical steering". Devices like the Segway steer by changing the wheel speeds just a bit. Could this deliver enough
