Doesn't that make it a uniquely Hawaiian thing? The sequence of events spurring the shirt's evolution couldn't have happened anywhere else. The article also makes a point that the cultural melting pot that is 20th century Hawaii is what enabled the creation of such a distinct garment.
I think it's very Hawaiian, and should be interpreted as a celebration. Then again, I'm just a Haole with a penchant for comfy fun shirts.
As a point of comparison, food dishes that came about under similar melting pot circumstances are called "local" food while dishes that have ethnic Hawaiian origins are called "Hawaiian" food.
How are either of these numbers okay against the 20k estimate due to land 2 months prior? I'm confused. They missed the target by slightly less than an order of magnitude. That doesn't sound great to me.
I'm just wondering how that's a good thing, it sure doesn't feel like it to me. It honestly sounds like me explaining to my family how I'm pulling my shit together. Sure, I haven't quit drinking or found a real career yet, but I went to the grocery store last week, and that's pretty good, right?
I'm exaggerating, but citing numbers that are perhaps factual but not much better than the hyperbole doesn't a convincing argument make.
If you want to argue like people do on stock shorting forums, please keep it there. I literally only wanted to provide an additional datapoint about measured sales.
I'm not shorting this. Just trying to figure out a universe in which it makes sense, that's all. Have no dog in the fight, but I have to say that you're representing an idea that no longer exists.
I hate to be that guy, but you know that the internet as we know and love it today started out as ARPAnet, right? The internet was domesticated, not weaponized.
His lifetime estimated global box office gross in a writing capacity is $4.8B[0]. I think "hack" may be how you see him, but the world sees otherwise. Also, he didn't credit himself as TDK's writer (screen for Begins, story for the others), the studio did. And if you think that's an easy feat, you're sorely mistaken. It's a hell of a lot easier to write an entire screenplay and not get credited than it is to not write on a project and get credited. That's why arbitration is such a big deal for professional screenwriters.
Further, Josh Friedman is a dyed in the wool sci-fi geek, hilarious guy, and great writer. I have a lot more faith than you that this might work.
Also, Goyer wrote Dark City, a sci-fi classic that tragically slipped under the radar.
Full disclosure: I work in the industry and know Josh and know a ton of people that have worked with David, but I've only met him in passing.
> Also, Goyer wrote Dark City, a sci-fi classic that tragically slipped under the radar.
I'm also a huge fan of Dark City, and unfortunately, it bears all the hallmarks of Goyer's misfires in cringe-worthy dialogue. See: a cop tracing a bloody spiral pattern left on a dead woman's breast and proclaiming, "Round and round it goes. Where it stops...nobody knows!"

Michael Bay's worldwide gross as a director is 6.1B[0]. I'm going to give this one to AdmiralAsshat.
That's fair, but being able to understand and direct the popular zeitgeist, be it by instinct or intellect, is a very formidable gift indeed. It's something almost none of us can do (certainly myself included), and those who can will always have detractors. I don't see success as a zero sum game, so I'm happy for people who are successful, even if I wish I had their insight.
Total aside, you should check this out when you have time, pretty interesting analysis: https://youtu.be/2THVvshvq0Q
Your parent comment points out that for a right-handed person, their right hand would be south. The same is true for either handedness, thus does little to differentiate the two.
I would like to see an art gallery where the surfaces were treated with Vantablack. I think it would further enhance the experience by effectively disallowing the eye to focus on anything but the work in question.
It's an interesting question though, as I would think that the use of Vantablack in the gallery itself would be a structural use, which limits Kapoor's rights. It's not being used in an artistic work directly, it's being used to highlight other artistic works. In fact, it would be about the only place Kapoor couldn't show any of his theoretical Vantablack work (to my knowledge, he has yet to exercise his Vantablack exclusivity rights). It wouldn't register as existing.
The problem with the thrust of your argument, I think, is that you're proposing that self-driving cars are something a driver actually needs to pay more attention to than a standard automobile.
I don't have time to check it out right now, as the current project is income-generating, but I'm curious to check it out. On the face of it, it looks like a decent (albeit very simple) screenwriting tool that would be perfect for the amateur or writer/director/producer. One of the things I like about FD is that, as a contract writer, I can define elements (some shows or producers like to format sounds or chyrons or character introductions or whatever) a certain way, so I can write in a manner expedient to me and change the formatting to fit the requirements. This doesn't seem to have that capability, but I could be wrong. It certainly seems like it will get you 90% of the way there, though. I'm guessing they developed this in-house to coincide with their submission system for original content so they can standardize submissions and generate heuristics like wtallis is talking about above.
