Unfortunately, what I see lacking in high end laser CNC machine market is software and no separation between CAM programming and execution that exists for milling machines. There is no equivalent to G-code that can be generated on w/e software and then run on different machine. There are cases where this is impossible as due to the way it's done, it would quickly overload even large RAM memory capacities.

Even though, I myself was never involved directly in it, nor am I today, I know from him there were several trends:

1) Printing companies in Europe and elsewhere got bigger. What use to be 10 printing companies, now it's 1.

2) Equipment manufacturers for that industry got bigger. What use to be 4,5 equipment manufacturers in EU/USA, now there is one.

3) Lasers. Lasers got to a level where they can compete and surpass mechanical removal on quality and speed. This is true also for industry I'm in.

. Furthermore, initial inspections at the start of the production run were supposed to verify that the manufacturing process was creating products that satisfied the “design intent,” but the initial products were checked against the manufacturing drawings, not the design drawings.

Of course, here I'm opening myself for a valid criticism which might be constructed as "even if a game uses elements of previously told stories and settings, it might do a different spin or do it on a such a new level of excellence (story wise) that it becomes incomparable with previous attempts".

You could also point out that trailer can be manipulated in such a way by a talented director, that would make the game appear new and unique.

Anything else, we are talking about computational design + AI for interpretability.

I haven't checked all the examples in the link posted, but I know AutodeskAI Lab has some seriously impressive papers out. (code too)

- What is the plastic used for the part (ABS, PC)? - What was the material for core/cavity (tool steel)? - What was the lowest tolerance on the part? - Were US/EU manufacturers considered at all?

It also points that banning access to social networks is a right call until kids get to a (mental/educational) stage where they can judge these things in a similar manner.

You are right, I was being purposely naive in order to show the narrowness of thinking. The "gray area" of the law could have worked in this case for both side. Croatia government didn't have to do anything besides close one eye, which they do ALL THE TIME, for people "who know the right people".

Feel free to google search the term "ilegalna gradnja" with Croatian location, to get a feeling of scale of it and how little a settlement like the one that was demolished really matters. There are too many of illegal settlements, usually in form of houses and luxury villas, that haven't been demolished for years, even even local governments pleaded to have them destroyed.

To be crystal clear, I didn't suggest giving land to anyone, just make an exception that is made constantly for the "right people".
