I'm not even an engineer, and I have made one. But, making a 3D printer by yourself from ground up (or assembling one with the parts bought from china etc.) takes a lot of time. I only paid attention at my spare times, so it took my months. But I must say that, it is a very satisfying hobby. I strongly recommend it :)

But if you want to buy one, you can find very nice 3D printers at $250 - $300 range from aliexpress etc. It may take hours, a day or a week for calibration (depending on your printer model and printed part quality expectations), and you are good to go.

But I must say that, 3D printers need maintenance and that can take your time as well.

If you want to educate yourself, http://reprap.org/ is the site you would want to visit. Not only for making your own printer, but calibrating and maintaining a bought 3D printer as well...
Cool; now embed it into a 150 MB Electon app and you have a state of the art editor (maybe introduce several arbitrary delays in the range 300 ms - 2 sec for the authentic Atom feeling)!
I still haven't seen a good reasoning why the Euro is to blame for the economic problems in southern Europe.

It certainly is a issue that those countries can't devalue their currency anymore, but devaluing is not a miracle cure.
Okay, I have to ask. Which brand of Olive Oil that can be found in US stores is actually olive oil? Is there a good resource for finding real foods? Outside that stamp which might only exist for CA originated oil I don't see a good indication in the article.
Likewise. "Modern" is a worthless word. In time, the flaws of any "modern" product will become apparent and it will be replaced by something more "modern".
The 200k machine just has to be a small bit better than the 2500 machine for it to pay off so fast it is ridiculous. A commodity approach to printing sounds like it would involve a lot of quality checks and other really pricy manual things that would eat up that 200k in under a year.

Owning the 200k machine has to be better than owning 80 of the cheaper machines for it to be better. In a lot of scenarios that will be the case - if you need the improved resolution, reliability, etc that the 200k machine offers then the cheaper machines just aren't an option. In time though, as the cheaper machines improve, the expensive machine may stop being a better option.
The most important quality for such a game is how many players are playing it. In that sense, Pokemon GO is already far better than Ingress or anything else.
The notion that premium money is paid for 'authenticity' and 'creativity' is a laughable misreading of current marketing tactics.

More like: branded 'creativity' is a way to create artificial scarcity through market segmentation, to create goods that don't easily compete with each other. That's why people can drink 'artisanal coffee' for $5/cup and a Dunkin Donuts for $1/cup and not feel ripped off even if one store is next to another.

To take this at face value and to think about "Creativity money" is to be completely ignorant about the human labor in creating things that are "not Creative". That Dunkin Donuts coffee, your underwear, a television, a utilitarian tool, anything in the 'basics' were all made with some amalgamation of human labor and machines/tools.

So sure, machines get cheaper, human labor doesn't. So everything is a mix of things that get cheaper and and things that don't. "Creativity" has nothing to do with a human vs. machine money issue and just muddles the conversation.
You're forgetting the other point that the poster made, that your DNA is no more yours than your grandparents', or cousins, or any other ancestor or distant relative that shares bits of their genome with you.

By the way, we are all related, and virtually everything in you is not unique. There are maybe 50-100 point mutations out of 6 billion that are unique to you.

And anyway, what's the point of your genome unless you can compare it to others. So, share already. We're all just remixes of each other.
I was just pulling a number out of thin air. We're in scifi speculation territory so the numbers are all made up.
It is an extremely big problem.

In medicine all kinds of things were done to avoid publication bias (most notably trials registers). It still is a big problem, because the countermeasures aren't enforced. In most other areas people don't even try to counter it, which means it's probably much worse and we don't know how bad it is. It's a major reason why so much of science is most likely false.

I suggest you have a look at the work of Ben Goldacre, he's been a major voice in highlighting this issue. He's done a ted talk introducing the problem and later has written a book (Bad Pharma). He's only focussing on medical trials, but you always have to think: "This is happening in all areas of science".
I can't because I don't know one. The point is that every transaction, from barter to high frequency trading, is a matter of trust.
This is a dangerous article. The author decided to become freelance designer while having a partner working full-time, no credit card debt, and no outstanding loan. This is quite a security belt if you ask me.

I had to take a $10k loan days before quitting my job. At the same time, I had to keep repaying the mortgage of my mother, my own rent (London is very expensive), while figuring how to bootstrap my very first business. No business angel, no venture capital, no connections. Not in Silicon Valley either.

I had about 3 months runaway. The clock was ticking and failure meant personal bankrupcy at age 23. But the depth of my soul was "feeling it", I couldn't not do it, it was impossible.

What happenned ? No " I got rich in 1 week" story. I escaped financial troubles at the last minute (signed for a consulting client on a 26 of december!). But at the end of the contract, I chose to do it again : I used the 2-3 months runaway window I was seeing to sprint fulltime and try to have a breakthrough.

Yet (and this is my point) I consider that these were the best decisions of my life. I don't regret them 1 second, and I'll do it again 100 times if necessary. If I change something, it would be to take even more risks. For example buying a car so that I can sleep in it a few months to cut costs.

My take on this article is that this person is not an entrepreneur at her heart. She went there for the wrong reasons - I actually feel that she went there for no reason. Also she seems to confuse owning a job with owning a business.

There's no point in owning a job for the sake of it. You'd better off having a corporate package if you can secure one. But owning a job is worth it as part of a systematic plan to establish a business.

But this requires entrepreneurial inspiration, and vision and I don't think that this person had any of them.

There are too many red flags, for example the fact that her relatives encouraged her while she doubted. In my experience, it is usually the opposite : people tell you you'll never make it, it's not a good time, wait a few years, you're crazy, you're arrogant like your father/uncle/[put your favourite one here] and be careful you won't go far in life look at him ! ... And you have to focus hard to ignore these discouragements among hardships.
It's the default American approach to assume that a failed implementation equals a failure of a concept.
It's also the method by which signals from radio telescopes thousands of miles apart have been correlated after the fact at a central location. This has been the case for a couple of decades now.

It's technically reacting but it's also interrupting. People dislike the interrupting.

I love Tesla, but it's no surprise that they are in a very tough situation, financially and strategically.

They have to:

-) Build their own production capacity for batteries, since there is no one producing batteries in the quantity or quality required

-) Build, without much government support, apart from a repaid loan, a complete charger infrastructure across all countries.

-) Compete on price with major manfucacturers that have decades of research and know how on efficiency, supply chain management, production line optimizations, and can utilize economies of scale.

-) Face a lot of negative PR, orchestrated, no doubt, by the existing players who want to push out an unwelcome rival, and are increasingly moving into the market themselves.

-) Deal with low oil prices

I wouldn't invest in Tesla right now.
I'm from the US, and currently vacationing in Spain. My wife and I typically only eat at restaurants once or twice per vacation, so we've got ample opportunity to try local groceries. In my experience, the food here is superb. Some tomatoes we've bought are quite bland, but eggs are good. Preserved meats tend to be good (I mean tasty, maybe not good to eat all the time), and raw meats seem to be good quality and hygienically stored. I did find a decent, locally made IPA this morning for about $2.50 per 12 oz bottle at the Carrefour. My impression is that if you're a stranger to a place, it takes a while to find the good places to shop, because if you've only been there a week you might be trying to buy steak at the 7-Eleven.

Does RenTech still have investors? I thought they worked for themselves now.
I moved from Edmonton, Canada to Goulburn Valley, Australia: the foodbowl of Australia; and the difference in food is just astonishing. The first time I had a bite of the salad here, I was mesmerized. Right back to the childhood spent in Punjab, India. Nothing beats onions, guavas, coriander, mandarins, olive oil, plums and the berries from the garden. The earth is golden here. The biggest difference is the vegetable and the weather here. Else, I miss Canada and especially the Rockies.

Btw I wouldn't trust most vegetables in India. You don't know the source of water and if they have been injected by oxytocin. My grandfather owns a big farm and grew vegetables (never laced them though). BTW NorthEast India has good quality produce too.
I think it was Robert Reich who said something along lines of:

"It's interesting that rich need to be incentivized by profit, while poor need to be incentivized by existential threat of losing their job."

Unfortunately, your comment is exactly this line of thinking. But you're wrong - with UBI, people who want to get something will still have to pay somebody else to do it. That's why people will still work - because it will pay off.
All the rich people from other countries go there. Switzerland has the highest millionaire concentration in the world: https://luxuryactivist.com/luxury/number-of-millionaires-per...
well for one thing wouldn't the EU want to be known as providing good food? The EU should simply not allow the products that are not true to be sourced from a EU country.

Your values aren't worth squat if they aren't applied to all you do. This just means that if you are willing to sell shit labeled as flowers to a foreign nation it will happen at home too
The larger difference is that the member state is free refuse to implement the law and choose to leave - the directive can not be imposed.

You may consider that just playing with words, but it makes the difference between being legal, and being a violation of constitutional law of a large number of member states, and as a result it makes a substantial difference in how the EU can be legally structured.
Swiss taxes vary hugely between cantons (equivalent of a state in the US) and you pay even less than 16% depending where you live. An example based on the official Swiss Federal Tax Administration online calculator [0]. Single no children living in canton Zug Switzerland (one of the Swiss tax havens):

Gross income CHF 120'000 minus deductions you end up with 100K taxable income and the total tax burden (federal, cantonal and communal) is about 11K.

Edit: the same example for a canton with higher taxes (Bern) gives a total tax burden of 22K

You're confusing brand/trademark with origin labelling. A farmers market will inevitably have multiple cheeses created by different producers, all of which may be labelled "Blue d'Avergne".

Yeah, brands do happen, I bought a cheese labelled "Blue style cheese" the other day because it was cheaper and may have been made in Poland to the same process.
Nah, blame your diet and caloric intake. You can however possibly blame your allergy! My allergy flares up when I eat out often, haven't been able to isolate it. When I eat at home for long and only home cooked meal, it clears up!

Machine Money, aka why use a simple solution when we can have a complicated one? Ahh, humans.. :-)

Machine Money, compared to Universal Basic Income, will require lot of government regulation regarding classification of what is produced by machines and humans and at what cost. Although I am sure, figuring all this out will create a lot of jobs.
If you think only GMO varieties are patented, you are very ill informed. For example, google 'BASF clearfield'.
To be fair to our American friends it's not solely their bias; a lot of the pro-Brexit voters have a similar feeling about the EU.
It's not like creativity is the sole domain of humans. AI is becoming more and more creative, too. There are AI systems that paint, compose, play games and music, dance and even write poetry. They are evolving rapidly. Much of the creativity of the future will come from machines, or teams of human and machine.

Yep. To overclarify: my post was a joke about the (surface level) environmental benefits of an unde(r)veloped economy within North-Korea's current form of bizarro pseudo-stalinism.
They can label it as made the same way. They can do comparative marketing - 'we use the same techniques but better ingredients, our product is better'.

What they can't do is pretend their product is the actual traditional product from some other geographical location.

There seems like no possible way that can be detrimental to consumers?
I don't really get the "taxi cartel" thing. Taxis aren't exactly brilliant everywhere so I buy the better service argument, but if you're concerned about corruption and cartels I don't see how a global company largely operating outside the law is better.

Maybe. I bet, though, that if you made me do the work my grandfather did when he was a youngster, or that my great-grandfather did when he was my age, I'd burn those 4000 calories a day, just 'cause being a fat desk worker, I'm not going to be nearly as efficient, even if I get to keep my 21st century digital healthcare and hygiene.

I do not speak of chatbots such as Cleverbot. For example your bot will listen to your messages and provide contextual information, such as theatres airing a movie you are currently talking about. The bot also probably needs to keep track of the context, which probably means keeping the chat history for some time. In order to learn the chatbot needs to keep the history forever and scan it for ML purposes. All of these mean that the bot has to keep the history somewhere unencrypted, basically nullifying the benefit of E2E.

Do you have any idea for algorithm that would find "alternative packages to X", e.g. matplotlib would return seaborn/bokeh/ggplot/etc. ?

Some rough idea would be high correlation of their neighbour weights, but low direct edge, but that doesn't work in some corner cases. More in https://kozikow.com/2016/07/10/visualizing-relationships-bet... .

That makes no sense at all. Just don't keep cash and invest everything except for a small contingency fund.

> For UK of course it's even worse, they're actively known for the bad taste and cuisine.

As someone from the UK I take offense at that, sure we might not be on the same level as Italy or France (but really, who is?) but we have some great traditional food. Pies of all kinds, fish 'n' chips, traditional sausages, good old roast dinners, chicken tikka masala and of course the healthiest breakfast in the world. Tasty stuff. And lets not forget our mayonnaise and ketchup beats all others, hands down.
It is more about a better deal and/or not getting ripped off (which the cartel is against) than about it being a cartel. It is amazing what Uber can do in a city like Manila.

Taxis also never bothered upping their convenience game, because they thought they didn't have to.
Snark not warranted, profile guidance is a thing. But more likely many of those virtual functions will not be a virtual function in idiomatic C++ for performance oriented design. I have seen that I can get away with compile time polymorphism many a time. For the rest there is compiler devirtualization and profiles.
I see a lot of Americans claiming that respecting origin naming laws is "stupid".

Im guessing this is partly the general "disrupt" mentality At work, and partly because based on your bread, beer and cheese, you clearly have long ago "evolved" to have no tastebuds.

Having seen what Americans insist on calling pizza, I can't imagine what you lot would do to other foods.

Why does the solution to this scary, foreboding fate always revolve around making sure the bankers stay fabulously wealthy?
To add to your (correct) answer, world's economy has to based on growth for physics reasons. In the real world, almost all things that we produce slowly depreciate due to entropy. So to even maintain the living standard, you need constant production, and thus constant investment. Deflation doesn't incentivize investment (which is an irreversible decision), so the only alternative is, in the face of risk, (small) inflation.
Just for feed the news !

Here's a thing on food science from The New York Times from three years ago I keep referring to. Long but really good read.

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/24/magazine/the-extraordinary...

In the context of new developments of food replacements from the internet (Soylent etc), you can't help but see a tragic waste in how food science has spent all this time on addicting snacks, cynically geared towards heavy consumers.

When I think about this emotionally and feel like oversimplifying, I can't help but to lump this in as a part of the James Howard Kunstleresque argument of how Western Civilization wasted much of the potential of the "good growth period" of global capitalism on completely unsustainable living conditions (suburbia etc).
> But suppose that you manage to set up an experiment where the perception of which measurement resulted depends upon who is perceiving the result

One way that I think you could prove it to others is to have a way to predict the measurement depending on who's perceiving it, that is >=60% effective. This would consist of some form of proof to others at least.
Did you include Chipotle as a joke, or is it somehow more "hipster" to you than McDonald's...?

All I know is that I mentioned Pokemon GO to my kids (it’s not out in the UK yet, so no advertising push to make them aware of it already) and they were instantly telling me that they had to have it.

I can’t imagine any other brand having that kind of impact - Talk about an unmet need in the marketplace waiting to be filled!

I fear the state will provide a too low UBI and people will be very poor. There will be very little to differentiate people because no matter what they do, they get the same income. The person becomes a dependent upon the state and is at the mercy of the current crop of politicians.

This problem can be viewed from a different angle: not to make the state a distributor of UBI collected from taxes, but to empower each community to own the resources necessary to generate their income and be essentially self-reliant. So there would be no need for help from the state.

As robots become available to do the work currently done by humans, each community / city / country will have to develop and operate its own fleet. So the profits should not be concentrated in the Google of the robotics era, but distributed to everyone by empowering them to be self reliant. 3D printing and renewable energy are going to be important for achieving self reliance.
