This gets the current state of 3D printers half right. I wrote the same thing seven months ago http://hackaday.com/2016/04/28/the-makerbot-obituary/, and yes, the downfall of Makerbot was due to going closed source and shipping faulty 'smart' extruders.

However, the author gets it completely wrong by not looking at any of the other companies shipping reprap designs. https://www.lulzbot.com/ has seen consistent yearly growth, from tens of thousands a month when the first MakerBots came out to tens of millions per month today. http://prusaprinters.org/ is experiencing the same growth, and that's despite an obscene number of clones of their machine on the market. The growth of 3D printing never stopped. If you look at the well-respected companies in the field, they're seeing consistent, increasing revenue.

The trouble with the industry is Makerbot. They burned their community with the change to closed source, they killed their industrial/educational market with the Smart Extruder problems, but they were the darling of the media. When Makerbot laid off employees, it made headlines. When manufacturing was outsourced to China, tech bloggers stumbled over themselves to get a post out. As Makerbot went south, so went the perception of the industry.

3D printing is still a growing industry, and the tech in low-end printers is getting really, really good. It'll never be a printer on every desk, but if you find a household with a circular saw or a soldering iron, you'll probably also find a 3D printer. That's what it should be, anyway: a tool, and not a fetishized technology.
I think it is similar to what happened to AI in the so called "AI winter", where professionals, consumers, companies and funding in general walked away from AI for quite some time.

We do know that for sure 3D printing will make a comeback for good one day, probably one decade in the future.

Let's say I have a door on the east side of a room, and beyond it is a hallway that gradually curves 90 degrees to the right. Then I will have entered the next room through its north door, and going north from there will send me curving back around to the left where I came from.

Dropping objects is the right way to map it out. It's totally solvable, although a little bit unpredictable (because the thief may happen into a room you've mapped and pick up your object), and the directions aren't reversible in the obvious way.

Commercial property -- to which I'm including multi-family residential for this post -- is almost definitely the bigger problem. The reason arises from the fact that these properties very rarely trigger a reassessment of property taxes and as a result tons of commercial property owners are paying 1980s era property taxes. Firstly, commercial properties are often held by long time/indefinite property owners -- companies -- who rarely sell and don't "die" (deaths especially those involving split inheritances commonly cause property sales which trigger a reassessment). Secondly, in the event a company does sell, they can usually avoid triggering a reassessment by only selling a "stake" in the property. If that stake is below a certain threshold, there's no reassessment. You can read about this by googling "close the prop 13 loophole". Residential properties are very simply reassessed more frequently on average than commercial and this problem is going to get worse over time.

Oftentimes, properties in California (especially multi-family residential) are owned by a corp/LLC which owns nothing other than that single property. That corp is then owned by a larger company who can sell a stake in single property company if the right buyer comes around. The CPAs have avoiding a prop 13 reassessment down to a science. If you write a rent check to a company that has your street number or street name in the company name, that's why.

Much of valuable property in this state was developed before 1978 and as a result the owners are paying just a fraction of what their taxes would be after a assessment. Sales and income taxes are subsidizing this difference. Now, the counterpoint to this is that raising property taxes will result in some of those taxes being passed on to renters. While this is true, not all of it could be due to simple supply and demand. The worst offenders will be able to pass on the least of that difference. The state would also be able to lower corporate, sales or income taxes as a result of phasing in market property taxes too. Maybe that last part is just wishful thinking on my part.

Regardless of your take on residential vs commercial property and prop 13, this is a problem that is only going to get worse with time. With no changes, 50 years from now, there will literally be people and companies paying property taxes like it is 1990. The result is that in order to make up that difference, corporate, sales, income and "new" property taxes will have to be higher than they are today. If those other taxes rise enough, people leave the state for greener pastures and property values fall or stagnate which is another more painful way to equilibrium.

Significantly higher property/land taxes in this state than we have now would solve or curb a lot of problems. From housing bubbles (probably merely curbed) to encouraging cities like SF to build more densely to allowing lower income/sales/corp taxes to encourage investment, many of the states problems were created or exacerbated by prop 13. When Warren Buffett was Schwarzenegger's economic advisor during the campaign he said that prop 13 doesn't make sense. He was right.
Doesn't that automatically happen if you over-pay each month? I guess it might be depend on your mortgage type, and location.

I know in the UK I made no special effort to do this. I had a mortgage, and each month I was supposed to pay £260. Instead I paid £800 and I completely paid off my flat many years earlier than expected, with a corresponding saving in the interest I would have otherwise paid.

I'm upvoting you since this is a common mistake. We think people should use common sense when dealing with hot coffee. I've spilled coffee I made on myself plenty of times. It burned and made my skin a bit red. That's all. Since that's what hot coffee usually does.

Then, to cut costs, McDonalds raised the temperature of their coffee without telling people what it could do. I personally lost the ability to taste anything after taking one sip. Came back after a day or two but no coffee has ever done that. Then, this woman gets third degree burns from something she expects to hurt and make her skin red at worst.

That's nothing even a smart person or coffee junkie should expect to happen. It's unusual. That's because it was a dangerous thing McDonalds did to squeeze more money out of their operation. The danger damaged people who couldn't see it coming. They should pay for it.
And the solution is, obviously, technology, and specifically machine learning because that's the solution to everything these days.
I spent 3.5 years driving people around in a Taxi in Phoenix, Arizona. This was from February 2012 to October 2015, before and during the rise of "ride sharing".

For the most part, everything in this article is spot-on. For example, I agree that there is nothing especially innovative about these companies. I wrote 'Electronic Taxi Dispatch' [1] to show how a pre-smartphone GPS-enabled electronic dispatch system worked.

[1] http://www.taxiwars.org/electronic-taxi-dispatch-v1.0/

The one area where I think the article is slightly off are the comments about serving poorer neighborhoods. Taxi drivers don't like going into sketchy neighborhoods because poor people are more likely to not be able to afford their ride than rich people. Under the app system, drivers can be reasonably certain they're going to get paid, so I presume that app-drivers are slightly more likely to pick up a fare in a sketchy neighborhood, than a taxi driver who doesn't know what to expect [2]. Even so, app-drivers are looking for big fares too, and I presume they're more likely to head to well-to-do areas where they think people have plenty of money to spend on a long ride.

[2] The woman whose taxi I drove (30-year veteran) wouldn't pick up new fares when she dropped off in certain neighborhoods, not even in the daytime, because she's an old woman, and didn't want to take the risk.

Perfectly fair.
Unfortunately, you can't tax against a commodity, it's not currency.

So, it's basically the same as trading Oil or any other basic commodity.
Or 1876, where basically one guy needed 1 electoral college vote to win, the other needed 20, and the commission formed by Congress managed to get the guy with the 2nd most popular votes the 20 electoral votes needed to win, because of a party line vote in the commission.

Not that a party line vote means it's an invalid or unscrupulous election. It's quite expected the team stands together. It'd take something really extraordinary to get a defector.

Anyway, the president in 1876 wasn't determined until March 1877.
http://elections.harpweek.com/09Ver2Controversy/DayByDay.htm

Edit: It's much better to fallback on a parliamentary process like this, where we can only blame ourselves for having voted in X team to be in Congress, thus making the decision should there be a contested election. When it shifts to who can convince judges to do recounts is when it becomes totally nebulous like a flip of the coin, rather than an "oh well that's unsurprising".

But no doubt there would be all kinds of outcry about faithless electors should the Electoral College on Dec 19 end up picking someone other than Donald in a way that departs from the expected outcome, even though that's the actual #1 reason why Madison and Hamilton went with the Electoral College system - that voters could get it wrong. Giving less populated states effectively more than 1 vote for 1 person, was a far lesser consideration.
To play devil's advocate:

Lots of people spend money in their 20s on experiences: partying, moving, traveling, trying new things... It's sure as hell harder to do all these things later in life with a spouse/kids.

You can't even print composites. Seriously, most 3d printing fanboys I've met couldn't even begin to define the term "tensile strength".

I had one guy insist that his 3d printer could 3d print wood. I said there's no way, so the next day he brought in an object made out of ABS with wood flower suspended in it. He literally couldn't comprehend how that differs from a real wood object, structurally, or even better how it'd differ from a cold-molded composite wood object.

Let's say I have a door on the east side of a room, and beyond it is a hallway that gradually curves 90 degrees to the right. Then I will have entered the next room through its north door, and going north from there will send me curving back around to the left where I came from.

The problem with this analogy is that in real life I know how to turn around and go back through the door I just arrived from. It does not matter how much the passageway twisted around, unless the door or passageway physically moved I can turn around and go right back through it.

In Zork, this is not the case. My character is effectively blind but has a compass built into his brain. When he walks through a door he is immediately teleported to the middle of the next room so he has no idea which door he just came through. This is silly and obnoxious.

Meanwhile cars are getting cheaper than ever, adjusted for inflation, and are also dramatically safer and more comfortable than cars from the 60s.
That's not fair? Consider this:

Man buys a house house for $100K in 1980, pays it off by 2010 and owns it outright. The value of the home has increased to $1.5M. All of his mortgage payments amounted to $250K, so that's $1.25M in profit.

He's on a fixed income, so he can't afford it when his property tax bill rises to $12,000 per year. As a result, he get a cut on his property taxes while his $1.25M in equity just sits there. After he dies, all that money goes to his heirs.

I consider that unfair.

There are a bunch of things that bother me with regards to the discussion against Prop 13.

- There are older folks that have owned their homes for over 30+ yrs that are on fixed income that wouldn't be able to absorb increased taxes. My grandparents would've been in this case.

- There are folks that are middle class folks, think central California that couldn't absorb increased taxes.

- The variability year to year dealing with the assessments makes it difficult to plan for the potential increase in taxes. Look at what happened in Cook County in Illinois. Some homeowners were facing thousands of dollars of taxes none of them were prepared to pay.

The argument of telling someone to just move if they can't afford the taxes doesn't fly with me. Because I would just put it back on those individuals, you don't like the housing prices... Get out of the bay area. I mean I know you can go to Bakersfield get a palace for 500-600K. Case in point, brand new construction 462k 4BR, 3BA (http://www.zillow.com/community/camden-cove-pinnacle-series/...)

I think there are ways to address some of the issues without a blanket reversal of Prop 13, because this would effect more than just the bay area.

So what potential changes could you make. Couple of ideas:

- Transfer of property through inheritance would be subject to re-assessment. At that point the original owners have presumably passed and the new owners aren't necessarily living in the property. If the taxes were adjusted to the current property value that decreases the profit from just renting the home.

- Remove the applicability to commercial properties. Other articles on the subject that I've read, describe techniques that people use to try to game the re-assessment of a property through exchanges of corporate entities, eliminate that practice, especially for homes that are zoned residential.

- If the issue is around vacancy, do what Vancouver did, tax vacant properties. If there is an abundant supply of vacant homes, force rental of those homes through taxing of vacant homes. That increased the supply of available homes, depressing rent and lowered home prices within a few weeks of its enactment.

I'm not saying at all that Prop 13 is perfect and no doubt there is abuse of the rules. I'd focus on closing the loopholes around transfers of property first before trying to change something that would affect every single homeowner.

yeah,

I'd say if they are saying you need to reboot every 22 days, the actual limit is at least 23.. Why cut things close?

22*3600*24 = 1900800 (x1000 for milliseconds)
23*3600*24 = 1987200
24*3600*24 = 2073600
25*3600*24 = 2160000

and, as it turns out

2^31 / 1000 = 2147483

If they are storing a time value as milliseconds in an signed 32 bit int, that would roll over every ~24:20:30
