Issue is you then risk making a game by committee, and we've seen it happen many times by traditional Devs that it's rarely a good thing, and at best are medicore. Often times games with a clear and inspired vision end up being or the better or bombing terribly.
As with much of TV, question is could they make more money repurposing that time for other programing? The show might be cheap and making a return, but could they swap it out for something that could make an even better return?
Personally I dont think 3D printers will ever be an "Everyone" machine, like a PC is. You still need a bit of understanding of how computers, drafting, and the mechanics of the machines to get any use out of them. I could see it being the difference between a screwdriver and router table.
Damn near everyone will have a screwdriver in their home, but only hobbyists spring for a router table. If anything I can see printers being setup in shops like Kinkos where people can take a design and have it printed in an afternoon.
THat's not all that reassuring, especially new companies people who did not have real world experience in large scale manufacturing.
Often times it seems, even with a prototype they will just take the lowest bid from a Chinese company to manufacture something; and as it turns out, it's shit quality, is delayed, and has budget overruns. Resulting effectively having the project die because they'd need to redo the entire Kickstarter to raise money for a second round of manufacturing.
I am curious how they can come up with estimate of how much the tax would generate, while also not having a clearly defined scope of what the tax would cover.
It'd be like someone saying they want to buy a car, and me saying it'll cost $20k. The term "car" covers a wide, wide range of possible options, and to give an ballpark figure would be nigh impossible with any accuracy unless I knew the specifics.
Issue is, time is finite. You're effectively doubling the time spend per each course, thats going to mean less time for other courses, and jobs needed to buy food and pay tuition.
Also issue is the time needed to prepare, classes would need to be staggered to allow at minimum the three (or however long is needed) hours between them. I highly doubt these results would be comparable if I did the preparation at 6am and had a class at 4pm with a full schedule between that.
What about other Counties? Rivers don't just stop at the county line. Pollutants can be carried down stream, and make it into groundwater for an entire state.
On the plus side, at least you can sort of estimate when the new model will be out and if it's worth it to buy or wait. Other manufacturers will keep touting their current model up till the day the new one is released, sof if you bought the now outdated one, OH WELL.
The $20 toy one you could hit with your finger and meh, at most might smart like snapping a rubber band.
A copter like that or others will often have blades made from carbon fiber, be very sharp at the edge and spinning at several thousand RPM. Put your finger near it and it'll slice it off.
OP was referring more to the idea of a bunch of random ass people coming together and doing a project with little no training or expertise beforehand.
Glue some foam together? eh, no big deal, one armed blind guy could do it. Worst case? Get to spend time time washing off your hands.
Woodworking? Get atleast a hobbyist in there who has spent some time building stuff and knows how to properly hold the tool. Worst case? Cut off a part of your body. Damage still limited to yourself.
3D printing/Metalwork? OK now you need someone competent, the risk of mistakes means serious damage to properly and people. Worst case? You puncture a gas tank and turn it into a flaming rocket which explodes.
I assume for something so odd and unexpected it took them a bit to properly prepare their response.
Marketing guy would have to take it to his Mgmt and him to his, etc... then it'd have to debate on how to respond then it' have to be passed back down the chain and done. Last thing you want is for it to go south and you be THAT GUY that messed it up. Name of the game is covering your ass, especially on high publicized portional PR nightmares.
Yep... For your average Li-Ion battery they are in cylindrical cells and output around 3.7v each. Li-Poly are similar but instead of hard cylinders they are laminated sheets one on top of each other, allowing for more variety in shapes and are the most common for phones; downside being they do not put up with as much abuse and can be damaged resulting in an internal short and the eventual boom/fire.
Similar to me. I run a 750w even though I don't need all the power, but it's the added features and quality I want. I'll gladly pay an extra $30 if it means less of a chance of it frying my entire build.
Minor point, your Atheist POV is that of a Gnostic Atheist which has all the same burden of proof as the Theist.
Most Atheists seem to be more on the Agnostic side of things; in that they acknowledge there might be, or there might not be a god. There is no solid proof either way though it's looking less and less likely given the claims of the Theists.
I think the issue is when you start treating or otherwise barring people from doing things they want to pursue based on their gender.
If Sally or JImmy want to become a programmer/nurse; then hey, all the power to them. If they can hack it, great! If they cannot then oh well, find something else.
Reminds me of a story a while back of people advocating for lower standards for women in the military because they don't have the same overall build as a man and we need more women. THATS a problem.

In terms of general success, yes they are comparable and there are quite a few. But in terms of money not so much.
SC has raised over 40x times it's initial budget request, while MN9 has thus far not even reached 3x. Could change but it's rate has been slowing.
Same for me, seems people who I know that frequently kickstart, take the stance that they do enough so that it's staggered out.
One month they'll get a get, then two months later another game, and two months later another game, etc...
As with much of TV, question is could they make more money repurposing that time for other programing?
The show might be cheap and making a return, but could they swap it out for something that could make an even better return?
Same for me in a big city, but I have been to small podunk fields where they were exposed, with a treeline as the only protection.

Don't worry, that's being patched in Creation v2.0.

Many such spaces are privately funded and lease the building.
They attract dues paying members via available services and classes.

Exactly...
Who uses "U/R" in professional communication, that's not working in marketing?
Yea, my old GPS would report me going like 10mph over when my speedometer had me at 5mph under.
I did that once, before I understood what a rail was and thankfully only had to RMA the vid card.

Also it'd likely be going to a team, and they would of course need access to a pretty high tech lab to even compete.
