The president nominates the SEC chair, and can fire him.
This explains how, written just before Trump assumed power:
While he can't force Gensler to step down as a commissioner at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, he can name a new interim SEC chair as soon as he's inaugurated on Jan. 20. He can also nominate a new commissioner to the Senate, which has to confirm the pick.
Say we implement this, a natural consequence would be mega-corporations providing every service possible. My Yamaha bike displays a message to promote a Yamaha music keyboard, then expanding to a new Yamaha bookstore or grocery chain.
No money exchanged out of the first-party Yamaha holding.
We would need to improve the proposal to prevent that too.
Same here. If you need it occasionally for personal use it's fine. But as soon as you need to swap documents with other people on a regular basis it just doesn't work, as there is just a bazillion ways in which it will not render MSO documents properly and it will drive both sides mad.
As long as it's just a "a document" that's consisting of headlines, paragraphs and bullet points it might not matter, but anything involving more advanced formatting, even just formal letter will usually look bad once loaded in LibreOffice, unfortunately.
I have been using Blender to design 3D models, since I had some knowledge of it. Wondering why not more people are using it for CAD. Are the other tools much better? Why?
You can get CAD Sketcher for Blender which might help.
But Blender is a mesh manipulation environment. Ideal for designing 3D models to go in virtual environments. Not awful for 3D models that are only going to a 3D printer, but fundamentally not the right tool for CAD for general manufacturing, because it cannot natively produce STEP-type geometry.
It's perfect for artistic stuff, but for technical you would rather use something that is oriented towards CSG (so that non-manifold topology is no longer an issue). Then you want edit tree, so that you don't have to redo all of the work to change one little thing in the beginning, and then parametric modelling and a constrain solver.
Blender is a bunch of things - but it is not, 1)a parametric program. 2)deals with complex geometry as mesh, VS nurbs 3) isnt really built to dimension 4)isnt really built for generating documentation which 99% of teh time is primary output of these programs - 2d sheets.
You can use it for 3d printing - but for engineering...nope. The Autodesk family of products / Solidworks are defacto for a reason - they have decades of tooling, libraries and so on that make lightwork of complex tasks. I'd tear my hair out trying to do my work in Blender which i easily do in Inventor, Autocad or Revit.
There are constraint based CAD addons for blender, and the black art of Geometry node rendering pipelines to auto-generate objects/features. There is also the fact most of the system is open Python API based, and thus everything can be generated from code.
However, Blender was not meant to be a constraint based CAD/CAM package.
Solidworks still seems like the leader in offline mode, but parametric-everything FreeCad is evolving at an astonishing rate.
For critical professional work, gambling on opensource is still inappropriate most of the time. =3
I'm keen on trying freecad 1.0. After professional training in engineering drafting, I'm interested to see if I can get by with a lot more understanding of the processes.
I have seen videos of small turtles going really fast on tiny skateboards. All of a sudden, they become a fast animal and seem happy with it. A bit like human with a bike or a car.
Feels like evolution is not as perfect as we want to believe sometimes.
Could something similar happen with sloths? Maybe their eyesight would improve quickly?
So maybe your idea has a future...
