Every statement that passed quotation and attribution checks. Mix any filter with any other: certainty 1/5, debate potential 5/5, or both at once.
why aren't all 11 resolved? a statement only gets an assessment when the public record can support or contradict it. opinions and what-ifs never can, and 0 checkable ones are still open, waiting for their date. predictions held up or didn't; assertions are supported or contradicted. on every card: ▮▮▮▮▮ certainty · ▮▮▮▮▮ debate potential. speakers are clickable
Reichert: Long-term advances in on-demand 3D printing will disrupt FedEx and UPS
“Yeah, I think if you look at the long, long term, I actually would be short on FedEx and UPS. You know, like, rather than having to ship things around the world on airplanes, it wouldn't be great just to download the design and print it out, you know, right wh…”
Reichert: Personalized manufacturing will move from hobbyists into mainstream products
“Ultimately this could become not just kind of a cottage industry, but it, it's the way I think mainstream products are going. I mean, you look at products that Nike offers where you can personalize all sorts of aspects of your shoe. It's not three printed per …”
Reichert: The core 3D printing workflow will evolve into 'rip, mod, fab'
“So I think in three D printing now, it's going to be like kind of rip, Mod fab, right? You know, like how do you scan in a design or take a design that's already there? How do you modify it? And then how do you fabricate it?”
Reichert: Software-driven parallel printer clusters will enable printing large complex parts
“It may be the case that you'll have a cluster of three D printers and you'll have software that farms out the, you know, big complex part into many printers and they'll all work in parallel and kind of proceed to output pieces and they'll be reassembled. So th…”
Reichert: Co-located industrial clusters will emerge for short-run 3D printed products
“I'm starting to see signs that are going to be these kind of industrial clusters, kind of like a little kibbutz of companies doing these kind of artisanal products. And so you're going to have people in the same, under the same roof, you know, like these littl…”
Reichert: 3D printing is shifting from plastic trinkets to functional objects
“Today, we've often focused on printing objects with form mostly plastic trinkets, and now it's starting to be printing objects with function, right?”
Reichert: Governments Cannot Abandon Tech Laggards Like Private Corporations Do
“And unlike a corporation, you can't fire those as customers, right? You know, the people are still on Windows XP. You know, they want to upgrade, and Microsoft eventually says, you know what? You can't upgrade anymore. You got to move on. You can't do that if …”
Reichert: Consumer-grade user experience has surpassed traditional enterprise software design
“Like in the old days enterprise grade was like better, but I think today consumer grade, the consumer grade user experiences are actually the superior experience, and that's what companies are starting to build.”
Reichert: Non-programmers are replacing costly enterprise system integration projects
“And so, ultimately, I think a lot of what used to be kind of expensive, long-term system integration work, now that can be done by non-programmers, just the way non-programmers are using tools like Optimizely.”
Reichert: 3D printing creates stronger, lighter geometries impossible with traditional manufacturing
“Yeah, and I think one thing that's very unique about three D printing is that you can print the simplest objects to the most complex objects. It's all the same to the three D printing system. So you can print things that before could never have been manufactur…”
Reichert: Digital-Native Millennials Enter Public Sector to Modernize Tech
“I think there's a rising group of millennials and people who are technology natives who are now entering the public sector and looking at how they can bring their expectations and knowledge of how to use technology into their roles there, and also as citizens.”
