Nice, thank you for sharing!

I'm curious, which 3D printer did you use?
I'm guessing the CEO wasn't a product person? Expecting to launch with a perfect product is just not going to end well. I view the waitlist as a way to get a basic idea to a broad audience and both validate your idea and iterate quickly based on feedback. Waiting too long will just kill what passing interest someone had to enter their email in the first place. We've had the waitlist for a few months and that's even longer than I would like.

I should add that the waitlist strategy isn't always the right one. If you are a new team building a product in an unfamiliar space, it might be better to start with a small group of users. We've been fortunate to have a succesful product in a similar space, so we can take a little bit more of a risk.

> I take it that you haven't been in Microsoftland for a while

It's been about a decade since I moved to Linux. Just skimming the latest VS docs though, the structure of unit testing within VS pretty identical to how it was. The feedback is a little more inline and I guess the extensions are a fairly big deal... But that sort of lends to my point that the IDE is still pushing itself down your throat for an IDE-centric build environment.

The thing I've liked about collaboration since moving away from VS is our build and testing toolchains sit completely separate from development settings and IDE projects. It's very simple to switch things out and script in new workflows. It also means we don't need to install things like VS to test on a new (eg rebuilt production test) machine.

I'm sure the same is possible in Microsoftland, I've just never —even recently, I still interact with .Net developers and their work product— seen people making use of it, falling back on what Mother thinks best. Maybe they're not serious enough developers.
Here in the UK it's instantaneous, oh and my bank also supports litecoin, bitcoin and ethereum (Revolut bank).
> What if the electric company charged more for every type A connection you wanted?

This actually happens (in some sense). If you want tons and tons of electrical juice, you pay more for it in 1-phase, 2-phase, 3-phase options.

(I am not a power engineer, but I live in a warehouse with 2-phase power which we "need" & use for welding, running expensive equipment, etc...)
I'm guessing it's a reference to GlowForge, which can cut based on pictures or drawings on the material itself.
That expresslanes URL is for I-495. The I-66 historical data is here: https://vai66tolls.com/

Then feel free to email the mods, explain my no-good-nick ways and ask for a remedy of some sort to whatever harm you believe me to have done rather than talking trash about me in public.

There was plenty of flaming going on before I asked for nonflaming explanations of the issue. And it looks to have not dropped off the front page. So I don't see the harm you are imagining.

Re your edits: There is nothing wrong with noting that noob questions get asked routinely about x subject and that it is problematic when large numbers of people jump on answering such questions. The problem with your comment is in injecting ugly characterizations of the asker and assuming I knew this would get a lot of replies. I didn't. I frequently ask or post things that are utterly ignored.

Holding me responsible for the decisions other people made to reply en masse is ridiculous. Why not hold them responsible for choosing to be the umpteenth person who felt compelled to reply?
You can read more in the original Net Neutrality declaration:

https://transition.fcc.gov/Daily_Releases/Daily_Business/201...
on pp. 53-66, from "No Paid Prioritization" to "Sponsored Data and Usage Allowances"

Binge on also "optimizes" your stream for mobile performance, i.e. throttles it to the data rate of SD, which is also against the rules in net neutrality.
Nice catch! Thanks noticing the misspelling.

This deeply saddens me. You were on track to make an actual contribution to human understanding, and make a comfortable living doing so, but you gave that up to make people write programs to make other people scrub toilets for less money, then you did... whatever this is.

You could have been a tenured neuroscience researcher, and contributed to our understanding of how the brain works, but you did this instead.
I happens the same with cicadas. People abroad think that they are a kind of anime thing, but the reality is that anywhere you go in Japan in summer you will hear cicadas.

It adjusts to the price on that day far in the future when employees get out of lockup, but if it spans tax years you're still screwed. Basically, when you have gains, you only ensure realistic taxes when you exercise and sell within the same tax year; otherwise you take a huge risk.

Hah, that was the most striking value in the entire list to me as well

That's a good point, I got over being overwhelmed real quick once I started picking values. At that point I was more impressed at how many there were. I'm definitely aware that there are two sides to this coin

edit: wondering if you thought about eventually sharing this information to companies as well? Definitely has to be an opt-in thing for the user. Some teams within companies might differ in some key values, so knowing what a candidate prefers could lead to a more granular and accurate match. Would be valuable for a company to know - enough for them to want to pay you, possibly

a) is the only example anyone is seriously worried about. I don't think anyone in their right mind thinks that Comcast or Verizon will make special pipes that are faster than what we have today and keep the "slow" pipes to match the speed we have today. Obviously they will instead call what we have today the "fast" pipes and will throttle (or block) everything else. I would bet my life on it.
I'm not questioning your sincerity (or talking about you at all, really).

I'm observing that the HN community is a poor fit for activism. It's crunch time (activism-wise) and the top comment chain is a relitigation of the whole issue from scratch, even though we've been talking about it for months (and years).
There isn't enough good science. If you look at the historic record (a million years or so) you'll see glaciations and interglacial periods. One thing we should expect is a new round of glaciation if nothing changes. But it's not time for that yet. A simple google for "interglacial high water mark" yielded this:

https://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/climate-change/changing-ice...

Which indicates that sea levels have historically been several feet higher than they are today during the interglacials. There is no data on the exact temperature profile over short (100 year) historic time scales.

We have evidence of data tampering - i.e. a climate model that showed the "hockey stick" regardless of what the input data was. It's a highly politicized thing.

And lastly, if I accept climate change as a result of human activity I say we still don't have decent models. We need to accurately account for the effect of contrails. There is significant evidence that this matters. There is correlation between temperature rises and the increase in air traffic. It may not be "carbon" but "water vapor" that is the cause.

I find these things interesting, but the headlines and stories are all very alarmist. Look at this fine article we're talking about. The data isn't all that interesting, it's just that it tripped a plausibility check someone implemented, and we don't know what the stated requirements for the check were.
It's a standard share trade strategy.

The net cost is 0 - cash in = cash out. And taxation is zero because your profit is (at the time) 0.

It also means you can do something else with your original investment.

If it goes up 100x - cash out whenever.
If it goes down to 0 - you have lost nothing at all apart from some time.

What they mean by "gcd of 1 in relation to" is what we call "coprime".

5 and 3 are coprime because nothing but 1 divides both at the same time.

it allows you to compute the private key out of the public key (only possible if the totient is coprime with the public key)

I think the copper savings in 1000BASE-T1 come from running GigE over a single pair versus the more-typical 4.
These are 2 fundamentally different things. In twisted pairs, shielding is there to prevent interference from changing a signal. In TEMPEST protection systems, shielding is used to prevent radiance of transmissions that could be intercepted. While there is some overlap in conductive materials that could do both (prevent interference AND radiance), the methods employed and benchmarks used to measure performance differ significantly.

Crypto has been one of the better performing asset classes in the last 5 years. That is just a fact -- if looking in percentage terms.

Pension funds generally allocate up to 5% of their portfolio to alternatives, which could be smaller funds investing in art, watches, music royalty rights, farmland, wine, and the likes. This also includes crypto.

If you're an investment manager, it isn't necessarily crazy to allocate 0.2 or 0.5% of your portfolio to crypto and try to capture some of those gains.
For a basic explanation the electricity analogy posted above is fair and accurate. I don't think consumer ISPs blocking port 25 is related to the discussion on net neutrality. It's blocked because spam/viruses would be much worse if it wasn't.

You should be aware that you might be subject to GDPR - after May, gaining consent in this sort of way (as a precondition of receiving a service) isn't going to be legal in the EU any more.

That only works in a reasonably static society, where people can make informed decisions about what they want. If an elderly farmer had an opportunity to learn a trade or get an education, yes, he might be a welder, or a wine taster, or a writer - but it's a little late for that when he's 40 with a house and wife and kid, and everything he owns is in that farm, which was the best option he had as he steered himself down the path of his life.

And now the market is saturated with cheap, industrially farmed food, making his output worthless. It's hugely oversupplied with obsolete farmers. Yes, the market will even things out eventually - but that can have a steep, painful human cost.
The point is that they set the toll price to eliminate the bottleneck, i.e. to get the traffic flowing at 45 MPH or more. The previous bottleneck was caused by solo drivers who just ignored the HOV2+ restriction.
So you have a new choice, to pay and get a much more efficient and predictable commute.
I think disingenuous is the wrong word; but the curve does matter: 20% in 10 years indicates 100% in 50 years if the curve's a line, but it's not.

>4 fingers for western animation (simplified), 5 for anime (realistic).

Anime is all about cutting costs, time and work... much of the anime aesthetic evolved from the same cost cutting methods as Disney employed by cutting a few fingers off of Mickey Mouse. The (in)famous elevator scene in Evangelion[0], for instance, was as much about Gainax saving money as it was minimalist storytelling. There's even a word for the rare times anime isn't lazy (sakuga.)

And apparently, Japanese media (anime and games) avoids 4 fingered hands because it implies a connection with the Yakuza or Burakumin. Some Western properties have had to redesign their character models and artwork to add an extra digit when exporting to Japan because of that.

> in my brief experience the quality of their actual service is no better than anyone else's.

It'll be better simply because they're better at finding issues and following up on them, but like most ISPs in the UK, they do not have their own infrastructure.

There are three networks in the UK: British Telecom (BT, copper), TalkTalk (TT, copper) and Virgin Media (cable). Virgin Media, in my experience, is the most reliable network but unlike BT it is not available everywhere. AAISP use both the BT and TT networks, and will offer you what is available, or let you choose.

But if there are issues with BT/TT, you're outta luck. You can get, if you like, two lines and have a failover or whatever, AAISP will in my experience support you way, way more than any other ISP.

They mean the ISP can say "streaming from Netflix doesn't count towards your data cap!", either as a free bonus or at least as a cheap add-on option.
> lying to us in an attempt to derail discussions

I think it's not necessarily a malicious act. Seems like an honest tactic to start a debate.

I think the bigger problem is the unending "It will be just like cable" meme, complete with infographics and blah blah blah.

It turns an issue with many serious consequences into one that ISP companies can "solve" by just not doing that. Are they blocking torrents, banning VPNs unless you get a business enabled account, extorting fees from companies, engaging in zero rating deals, etc... absolutely.

But you can access pretty much whatever site you want. So obviously everything is okay because what reddit said was wrong and we can trust the ISPs.

Ah, right, thanks, wasn't aware of that.
> I don't think consumer ISPs blocking port 25 really weakens the analogy.

I think it does? Port 25 is only blocked if you don't pay for the premium service of having it opened. It's very much similar a case of the ISP deciding that it would rather you have a client (toaster) than a mail server (refrigerator) and charging you accordingly.
I find the data from the "I've used this but wouldn't again" almost as interesting as anything else here.

Unfortunately not really; Net Neutrality mostly focuses around the semi-bigger services who in most cases will have at least one of a dedicated AS number; dedicated IP ranges or dedicated physical network links they can limit the capacity of. Which is traditionally how the game has been played.

Think Netflix/Comcast.. no hiding what that traffic is.
AWS Single Sign-On
Or maybe people are willing to go the extra mile to get a neutral party on board who might otherwise do nothing because I am not comfortable taking action on an issue I don't really understand.

I don't see it being relitigated. Most stuff here seems pro net neutrality, but with good explanations instead of the political sniping I was seeing before I asked.
To quote bitwize from this thread: Well-done anime has a way of focusing on the mundane in order to establish an emotional connection to the setting.

For anyone who wants to understand this aesthetic, I strongly recommend watching The Garden of Words (言の葉の庭), which is only 46 minutes long. There is something breathtakingly beautiful about this film and other ones like it. They engender a strong feeling of longing and gentle sadness (nostalgia?) by bringing focus to the little things in life. It's a sentiment that tugs at the human soul.

Look up mono no aware (物の哀れ), which may be translated as 'a gentle sadness at the transience of things', as well as wabi-sabi (侘寂). Both of these are central to Japanese culture and history.

Edit: I also recommend checking out '5 Centimeters Per Second' and 'Your Name', both directed by Makoto Shinkai. To quote Ronnie Scheib's review:

Shinkai has been hailed as the next Miyazaki, and his dreamy mindscapes often equal or surpass the anime maestro in breadth of detail and depth of emotion. Shinkai extends the innate possibilities of the anime dynamic, reapplying its principles of lush effects, inflated background detail and sometimes undernourished character animation to mirror the interiority of the characters in every nuance of their surroundings.

Whoa. I have never hit this one, to be honest, in years. Maybe it was something CentOS specific, I have everything I have control of at either Debian or Ubuntu... but I will keep this in mind in case I ever do hit this error.

> Especially since the computing infra for that has real environmental costs.

Of all the arguments against archiving information like this, "environmental costs" has to be the least convincing one. Storify posts are just a bunch of links to tweets, and those are already intended to be archived by the Library of Congress. A static database dump of Storify content has negligible cost and is highly compressible.

If you want to talk about the environmental impact of tech, let's talk about the carbon footprint of Bitcoin, or the usage of rare earth metals in non-recyclable hardware that gets replaced every year[0].

How do you maintain good conversion rates for charging as much as how you stated (such as your Wordpress example)? You run the risk of getting no offers. I think the difficult part about charging $125-150/hr, if you have never charged that much, is finding the clients that are used to paying those kinds of prices. You'll have to figure out how to convert talks into sales better before you can charge those prices.

For instance, the person who would want a site for $50/hr is probably not going to pay $125/hr. You could try with that person, but that would be pushing your luck. In this case they're not the right client for you.

Pretty much everything I'd point you to is all in here (thanks gwern, the fandom truly doesn't deserve you).

I highly recommend the 1996 interview with Toshio Okada for a perspective on Anno's mindset, the history of the medium, and the uniqueness of the work.

https://www.gwern.net/docs/eva/1996-animerica-conscience-ota...

Also read Azuma's interviews with Anno and especially with Krystian Wozniki--these are very illuminating and will recontextualize your views of Okada and the show as a whole.

If you can hold all of these views in mind, you'll start to understand how Evangelion absorbed so much cinematic power from its cultural moment and forebears. It's a culmination of the medium in some ways. That it did all this while remaining an intensely personal work with an auteur's sense of vision and originality makes it that much more impressive.
I am not feigning ignorance. I have looked it up before and I don't feel I understand it well enough to jump on board any activism happening. If I am going to call my congressman or something, I want to do so because I think it matters, not because it is the trendy thing to do.

People complain about non IT people being sheeple, but if you ask a question here in good faith hoping knowledgeable types will actually enlighten you, you get called a liar?
Researchers Develop 3-D Printed Objects That Connect to WiFi Without Electronics
Yep you’re right. I just want to make sure this isn’t a “left” versus “right” issue or an “anything but Trump” issue. This is about corporate sway of people who don’t have a lot of background in the subject.
I understand your point of the likelihood of it fading away, but the tech's always being taken more and more serious on an industry level and becomes more robust after every crash. Many of these solve unique problems, even if the majority of the market leaves and cashes out, blockchain still needs oracles (ChainLink), and there is still demand for the others I listed (currency agnostic low fee payment platforms, decentralized lending for 3rd worlders, faster transaction times, etc etc).

Maybe I'm biased because I place more of my portfolio on these, but I have witnessed lot of these alts becoming more and more established everyday and predict this trend continue if industry adoption continues at it's current rate (and there is economic incentive for it to do so).
