The entire concept of "official act" does not actually exist. It wasn't defined in the Constitution, and neither was it defined by the Supreme Court when they invented it from whole cloth.
It's not in the demo video, but it's in the demo gallery. That's also the thing that's linked as "demo" on the landing page, so I thought you were talking about that.
These puzzles need to be handcrafted and a UI built. So they could hire other people to do it or hire the person who already has it done and start monetizing immediately.
I sold an app once to a company in the same situation. Neither one of us had sold / bought an app before so they asked me how many hours it took to write and what my hourly rate was. Then they offered half the number I quoted, which I thought was fair.
They paid a lot less than it would have cost to rewrite and I made a lot more than if I had just kept it as a free hobby app.
Some other newspaper would quickly run a "The Atlantic stole a game developers game and you wouldn't guess what happened next" article, people would be upset for a day or two, original author might/might not sue and then business as usual unless judge rules in authors favor.
I use it to get some interactivity without reloading that would have to be Ajax anyways. If you have a form inline, you can’t do a lot client side if the server doesn’t work, so using htmx is fine.
Does anyone know how something like this is injected? It has to be close to the heart so it’s probably not going into the bloodstream. And you can’t really inject something precisely into the heart itself while it is pumping, right? And do you just aim by hand or is there some apparatus that does the alignment so you hit a specific location and depth?
I don’t know how exactly this one will be done specifically but I have a (much larger) passive implant that was inserted via a catheter in a vein in my leg and guided up to my atrium, with an endoscope down my throat to see it as it was positioned. My atrial septal defect occluder was not only precisely positioned inside my heart but unwrapped from a shape that can fit down a vein to a stacked flat disc shape that clamps on two side of the heart wall to hold itself in place.
This technique is being expanded to robotic catheters that can carry out the precise surgery automatically and there are the simpler “deployable stabilization devices” that are used to stabilize the heart muscle. If this is really small enough to be injected, it should work with either of those methods rather noninvasively.
I know basically nothing about this area so take all this with a large grain of salt (or rice), but my understanding is they can go through the femoral or brachial vein to inject things directly into the heart.
They mention the use case of temporary pacing after surgery (specifically children where the desolving of the device is a great feature that leaves less abandoned litter behind as the grow).
I imagine if it's useful for adults, something that small will probably be put in using a catheter (similar to how stents often are placed).
A cardiac electrophysiologist advances a catheter into the right ventricle and then deploys this directly onto the heart muscle. This is only a little bit smaller than existing leadless pacemakers which are in wide use.
