It apparently can be recycled:

http://www.thefabricator.com/article/waterjetcutting/reusing...

(I guess it won't be worth setting up recycling for most users of this machine)

They say $0.30-$0.60 a pound (and I see lower prices suggested elsewhere), so the cost isn't astronomical.
AFAIK garnet isn't recyclable, but it's also pretty much just sand (non-toxic, though the material you're cutting might make the resulting slurry something to avoid).

To put the amount of material in perspective, the large table waterjet in the shop that I work at recently had its annual cleaning, during which over 1.5 tons of garnet mud was removed (we do use it regularly, but we're far, far from a high-volume shop). To cut a single knife blade ours would probably use less than a pound of garnet, but then again our machine cost several hundred grand.

As for time, that is indeed pretty high, but it's comparable to what you'd expect from commercially-available 3D printers. DIYers wouldn't be discouraged there.

For me, the biggest reservation is that 4mm of steel seems quite shallow, if indeed that is the maximum depth.

(Note that I just started working at this machine shop two months ago, so I'm hardly a real expert here. :P )

A common thread I see is that people need to "learn from history" that trade makes us all richer. They've seemingly failed to learn that this was an incredibly bumpy road with a lot of setbacks. The welfare state is what made current trade levels possible and that we need to pursue social reform first.

I'd say there's a few issues with framing the problem this way. Project popularity and exposure does not necessarily correlate with funds raised. Many people within the communities that a piece of software is popular within are not interested in funding it as up to that point the expectation for zero cost software has been generated.

When the change to a funding model happens, who is specifying what is being worked on? who is benefiting from the new work? who would be expected to pay? What about backlash from the change in how the project evolves?

In fashion people expect to pay for things and pay quite a lot to get what they consider to be quality. Do you think a similar attitude exists in the average user of open source software?

As for the tail of your post, I'm confused. Are you trying to argue that the code is what is of value here or are you trying to argue that the work the developer can put into it is valuable? (from a funding standpoint)

Bringing up these improvements at a city council meeting with proof of funds would likely end up with a much more positive outlook from the community (clearly some people are willing to pay for a bit of safety).

This is quite interesting. I actually thought that Trump mocked the disability of the reporter before, but looking at this video it seems like it was unintentional. I don't know why you are being downvoted this much, since it's a valid point.
You mean FOSS projects desire to use it under their terms. That's a subset of potential users and contributors. Commercial users can license it. FOSS might also use it as an optional, paid component (eg plugin). They sort of do already with Open Core, Paid Extras model. These options won't be popular among FOSS-only types but commercial users might be fine with extensible, source-included software. Even Microsoft had huge community of developers supplying code for stuff depending on their proprietary software.
I fully agree with your last paragraph. In "sensible" online communities, we flag, we hellban and we hide too much nowadays, creating filter bubbles for ourselves, and, more dangerously for those who fall for nonsense, and we allow falsehood to fester. Sure, many claims are absurd, but they need to be debunked, decisively and effectively.

I don't hold a candle for Hillary, but when a person I was speaking to insisted that Trump didn't release his tax returns, and neither did Hillary, I knew he was wrong (she had, in fact released her tax returns) but I didn't have the energy to debunk it.

Henceforth, although I won't engage with trolls, I will try to refute blatant falsehoods gleaned from the internet, especially when perpetuated by people I know IRL. People, especially those who are naive and don't understand how easy it is to publish and perpetuate fake stuff online, have the right to make decisions based on facts, and to understand how much junk there is on the internet.

Wait, seriously? I really, really struggle to believe that it isn't a MASSIVE increase in happiness and quality of life.

Personally, I have a huge list of projects, and things I want to do. Things that are absolutely achievable, if only I had the time. Since I work a 9-6, I spend what free time I have building things. That is what REALLY gets me excited, working on and building things that are personal and interesting to ME!

Sometimes though, I'd like to take a break from it all, and spend the weekend reading a book on history. I can't do that right now, because that means losing progress on my side projects and side goals.

I'd be really curious, honestly, if you could elaborate on why retiring at 24 isn't the life people think it would be?

The subject of the conversation is gun deaths. That's why. We weren't talking about knives, ropes, shuriken, or feral animal mauling.

> And if we compare all murder rates (not just those committed using guns), there is very little evidence that guns being available to law-abiding citizens as well as to criminals (even if that makes it easier for criminals to get guns) causes higher murder rates.

Citation needed. Every source I can find suggests that the US has more violent crime per unit population than most other developed countries in the world, and in terms of actual fatalities gun crime leads.

Can you provide some sources for this assertion?

> There are many countries with strict gun control laws that have higher murder rates than the US.

Which first world countries with strict gun control laws have a higher overall murder rate? Because it's not fair to compare underdeveloped nations to developed nations in terms of public order.

I agree that everything will be gamed and that culture is the best protection. I do think that some metrics are easier to manipulate (cyclomatic complexity comes to mind) and some metrics don't correspond with effectiveness (lines of code written).

Long and short of it is this: black markets have fundamentally higher barriers to entry and substantially higher costs.

An AR-15 in Australia costs as much as a very very fancy car. Moreover, the people who will sell it to you are deeply risk averse.

Sure, criminals will have them, but it will be an entirely different class of criminals, specifically, those that benefit from low "random violence" environments.
In my experience, you'll be dealing with firmware glitches even with mainstream OEMs. You can avoid a lot of the RFP/RFQ and scale issues by going to a ODM/OEM hybrid like Edge-core, or Quanta. Or Penguin Computing or Supermicro. If you already have a relationship with Dell or HP, you probably won't get quite as good pricing, but they're still options.

I am shockingly biased (I co-founded Cumulus Networks) but working with a software vendor who can help you with the entire solution is very helpful.

The scale gitlab has talked about in this thread is firmly in the range where self-sparing/ODM/disaggregation make sense. I think 500 racks is a huge overestimate, I think the cross-over point is closer to 5 racks.

This probably isn't cool, popular, or what you want to hear. But for client-side software, use the native GUI library for each platform. Write the core in C or C++. Abracadabra. It's cross platform, no issues, no bloat, no extra fees. With experience it can be fast to develop too.
There are objects that demand to be interacted with; there are objects that allow only certain predefined interactions; there are objects that allow any interaction and record them all for later inspection; and there are objects that are simple implementations of interfaces whose "real" implementation is more complex. Each of these object types exists in practice, and each is clearly an example of some larger category.

One group of people says "these should all be called mocks". Another group says "these are mocks, stubs, spies, and fakes, respectively, and collectively these are called test doubles". You can prefer the simplicity of calling them all "mocks" (simplicity is nice) but that leaves you with no way to distinguish between the types.

These categories seem like hair-splitting if you've written relatively few tests using test doubles. Once you've written a few thousand, you start to wish for even finer-grained distinctions. This is how basically everything works as you get deeper into the details: you need words for the fine-grained distinctions.

As far as I know, there has never been a competing set of terms. The only major positions are "we should use [the words I mentioned above]", which is mostly favored by those who have used a lot of doubles; and "we should not use separate words at all", mostly favored by those who haven't used a lot of doubles.
>Also, I don't think you realize that foreign LLCs are required to pay the franchise fee in California in order to be licensed to do business (meaning, having employees, facilities, or activities in CA).

No, LLC's file an LLC-5 form and pay the $70 filing fee. The business will not be liable for the Franchise Tax if the entity is dissolved or cancelled before the liability is encurred (Franchise Tax Due Date) if the LLC is dissocled after the Tax is still owed.[1]

>Thus, if you're in CA, your suggestion really just amounts to paying franchise taxes (or their equivalents) to two states instead of just one, and then committing tax fraud in two states instead of none.

Not remotely, most states don't even have franchise taxes not all even have annual report requirements.

>I strongly suggest you delete this post and your followup post, because it can be used against you in a court of law.

I think you are reading a lot of facts into my post that aren't there and ignoring the facts that are there, for starters I wasn't asked for advice and I didn't give advice. As one lawyer to another, if you are going to suggest I delete my comment due to liability going so far to expressly state criminal liability, I ask you show me a single case where the California Franchise Tax Board has gone after anyone for tax evasion for dissolving their LLC and creating a new one, because I can show you plenty of instances where the CA secretary of state disolves an LLC prior to 4/15 and then opens a new LLC with similar name (sometime exact same) immediately
thereafter.

[1] https://www.ftb.ca.gov/businesses/faq/ab2341faq.shtml

Edit:

BTW the specific form for this type of action is Certificate of Cancellation Short Form (LLC-4/8) and it negates the Franchise Tax when:

1) being filed within twelve (12) months from the date the Articles of Organization were filed with the Secretary of State;

2) The domestic LLC has no debts or other liabilities (other than tax liability);

3) The known assets of the domestic LLC remaining after payment of, or adequately providing for, known debts and liabilities have been distributed to the persons entitled thereto or no known assets have been acquired;

4) The final tax return or a final annual tax return has been or will be filed with the Franchise Tax Board;

5) The domestic LLC has not conducted any business from the time of the filing of the Articles of Organization;

6) A majority of the managers or members, or if there are no managers or members, the person or a majority of the persons who signed the Articles of Organization, voted to
dissolve the domestic LLC; and

7) If the domestic LLC received payments for interests from investors, those payments have been
returned to those investors

To conclude I never advised anyone to do this, but acknowledged it is possible and LLCs for side projects that don't justify an $800 minimum franchise tax are a good example of when something like this might be done.
> I'm genuinely curious what your thoughts are on the argument that criminals will break the law and obtain firearms illegally, regardless of the law.

It's a rhetorical device. Every shred of actual evidence we have is that making gun ownership illegal reduces the number of gun crimes that occur.

There is this strange equation of all gun violence with either extremist organizations or organized crime. In actual stats, that's only one relatively minor component.

What's more, I genuinely question the premise that we want to respond to acts of gun violence with more projectiles. As every gun owner who takes a safety course is taught: every bullet goes somewhere. Just because you miss doesn't mean the bullet dissolves into the ether.

Maybe this country, as a whole, should have thought about the fact that for as long it insists on committing war crimes against foreign peoples, on massive scales -- inevitably, the boldest and bravest among its citizenry will feel compelled to expose those crimes, and bring those responsible to justice.
I'm wondering how they got such a large depth of field at night.
> Why can't we consider expanding to new non-developed areas in this scenario?

Because a lot of people want to keep relatively untouched nature too.

> people are stressed

I don't see any evidence that this is caused by high density living.

> there's no sense of community

Most suburban areas, in my experience, have little sense of community. Maybe small villages are different, but in the suburban areas I've lived, at most I knew my immediate neighbours. People often tend to drive too and from the places where they are involved in community activities. If anything, I feel more connected to communities that form separate from the residential areas, and there tend to be more of them in high density city centres.

> commerce space is scarce

Is it? Near me, the densest areas have plenty of available commercial units cheaply available.

More importantly: Building densely allow for far more flexibility with the rest of the space.
The biggest disadvantage is it creates horse-trading and "how to vote" cards.

The largest two parties will do deals with all the minor parties to try to gather their second preferences on their "How to vote for us" cards and mail-out advertising.

And then independent candidates don't just have to be #1, they have to beat the major parties PLUS all the other independents who traded their second preference advice to the main parties...

That ends up being why the "two-party preferred" polls (which of the two main parties are you going to rank highest) end up being far more important than the primary vote (who will you pick as your #1 preference) in Australian opinion polling.

So it is a nice idea, and I do like that Australia has it, but for single-winner elections (rather than the Aussie senate where six candidates get elected from each state-wide vote), it perhaps makes it harder not easier for independents to win.

It absolutely is parody.

I regret using Facebook for many reasons. Really poorly informed politicking and sharing of tabloids unfortunately hasn't been invented or exacerbated by Facebook.

The most onerous and pernicious trading of misinformation I've seen on Facebook has been impressions originating from 'credible' sources: that Putin and Trump are best friends (Hillary Clinton and the DNC), that Saddam Hussein had some connection to 9/11 and also had nuclear weapons (George Bush, the White House Press Secretary and the US mainstream media), that there is no global assassination program, deal with Iran, that the US coalition wasn't supporting ISIS (the Obama Administration), Clinton had a 100% chance of winning this election (every reputable news source), that the South China Sea is about Chinese "aggression" (Obama Administration), there was nothing illegal and nothing interesting in Secretary of State emails and similarly in the DNC leaks (State Department and Clinton Campaign), there was no mass surveillance even indicated by the Snowden Documents (effectively all mainstream American media), the (first) fake US invasion of Fallujah (US military and New York Times), that nothing was happening in Ferguson after the State of Emergency (Federal Aviation), that China's economy was about to fall instead of giving the real news about their entering the special economic basket (HBR, The Economist, BBG + NPR), fake news about the assassination of Qaddafi [and his rape, and the US involvement in continued intentional regime change] (CNN, mainstream news reporting), the whitewashing of the genocide in Bahrain (CNN international), etc.

In higher level education in the United States, they tell history studies students to completely forget everything from their K-12 education, and they start over.

The reason for this is that K-12 history education looks nothing like actual recorded history, and is subject to the need for the state to educate a positive portrait of itself in order to build support among its population base.

The problem with this pernicious bubble of mis- and dis-information affecting even high levels of otherwise erudite conversation is that because it's trusted-by-default source, questioning it (as it is actually prudent to do) is considered 'disruptive' and 'irresponsible' while assuming and parroting establishment narrative as somehow factual, unstrategic or unbiased is considered 'polite' while it at the same time justifies enormous human cost and tragedy.

This pernicious bubble is a much larger problem than silly National Inquirer articles, as it has much greater negative effects and is much, much more populous.
