Not affiliated with Nabil or HP, but I have done a fair bit of research on the tech for this printer line. It is pretty fundamentally different to FDM or SLA. Closest to SLS, but still not really the same.

Mechanically it should be very similar to SLS, but uses a deposition style more like SLA. So in theory it should besomewhere in between.

The material I've read and demo material prints I've seen so far back that up. Should be good for small run cosmetic and functional demo prototypes, but you want see it used for mechanical short run production parts.
> changes intended for one place end up messing something up elsewhere. Maybe I'm just not using it right?

CSS selectors allow you a really wide latitude in the applied scope of the styles you specify -- you can literally pick everything (with the asterisk selector), or you can pick only one thing (with an id selector). With an almost arbitrarily fine-grained set of possibilities in between.

A project could take a component centered approach, with unique id and/or class names for every component and only using selectors that begin rooted with those id/class names (the unique names thing can be harder with a large team than it should be -- I've sometimes thought that rather than a CSS preprocessor, I could use a smart linter that can take some comment hints and manage problems like this better).

Or you could moderate that a bit with a reasonable core set of global styles addressing typography and baseline margins/padding and a few layout concepts, and go component from there.

And then follow two heuristics: when you find you're playing whack-a-mole, you probably do have too many overlapping broadly scoped styles. If you're repeating yourself over and over again (or even relying heavily on a preprocessor to repeat yourself), you might be better served by a more broadly scoped selector.

If this doesn't describe your approach, maybe you are indeed just not using it right. :) (And welcome to the club, happens to all of us at some point). If this does describe your approach and it still hurts more than a bit, well, maybe it is indeed the fault of CSS.

Something to think about....

I don't really want to get into another Tether discussion but someone who trades will be well aware that volatility is usually much more severe on the way down than on the way up.

Hence the saying "Equities take the escalator up and elevator down".

With Bitcoin we saw larger volatility on the way up, than on the way down, ie it went up in less time than it took to come back down.

This is atypical in the markets and suggests that something is propping up the price of bitcoin that doesn't exist in other markets.

The other place you see this is on the day of a IPO where the banks that lead the IPO defend the share price by strong artificial buying at the IPO price.
I gotta admit, I cringe a little when I see cutesy comments like this in professional code. I see it occasionally in our codebase, through stylecop override justifications "OMG this is the right way" or "// i hate this but whatever"

Keep in mind Bitcoin miners (and Ethereum miners et al.) keep producing a not-insignificant number of coins every day, at least a % of which are typically sold to pay taxes, electricity, and other operating costs. A constant stream of new investment is needed to offset that sales pressure.
The Great Unloading is well underway.

The fear of missing out (on board) drives the price on the way up. The fear of missing out (get off) drives the price on the way down. Classic trading cycle.
If all other languages have no problem supporting XML, they'll have no problem supporting Mark.

Full color is nice but it always depends how colorization is handled. If you ever have to go into 3rd party apps to "paint" colors on, its not worth it. It needs to be able to handle coloring from the exported file ie color it in solidworks or creo or whatever.

It's a finished product that just needs a physical release. Kickstarting it would make a lot of sense.
I was recently at HP labs and got to see the mono color printers in action. The process is very consistent, and they told me that the parts are very uniform. Given my own observation of a bunch of finished parts and the active process, it produces very consistent results.

The pieces were pretty damn durable. (I couldn't break them by hand). They used either Nylon or Glass Fiber reinforced Nylon.
Really disappointing of Cloudflare. I thought they were above this.
Sad to see the likes of HP taking over 3D printing, who didn't employ anyone who had the clue to even remotely conceive of it.

It has lost ~$200 billion in value in under two months. Resilient is the last thing BTC should be called. Fragile, is a better word for it.
BTW, the printer I saw had made ~70% of itself. So, the parts coming out of it were good enough to produce many of the parts it requires to operate.

And, reading the fine print:

So, sounds like we're talking something on the order of 50-150k per year or so if you're planning to use this frequently. Definitely not a consumer-focused solution.

> don't composite an impossible image. And if you composite, don't claim the opposite like Lik is quoted as claiming in the article.

Let's say I took a picture of someone in a Halloween costume. Let's further say that I called it a picture of the Amazing Mutant Bigfoot, blew it up to the size of a building (in picture size though) and composited this "bigfoot" onto a city, apparently being trampled in his chivalrous outrage at bottom-feeding city dwelling humans.

RAWR, HUMANS, RAWR!!!
(notice the use of punctuation by bigfoot)

If I composite an impossible picture like this, sell it to Walt Disney for the movie, RAWR, HUMANS, RAWR, starring Scarlett Johansson, does that mean that people should believe the picture is real-life? If Marvel says that Thor, God of Thunder is not a Movie but a documentary, so what?

Sometimes I wonder if 80% of CSS-related snark is coming by way of not understanding media queries.
Actually, the situation is complete opposite. Code is formal, deterministically executable rules. That's a boon for the rule of law, as the vast majority of "crimes" can be prevented a priori, rather than chased down post facto.

Even C++ is miles ahead of the "legalese" that forms traditional laws. Being executable by the common person, it avoids one glaring violation of equal protection that modern legalese limps along in spite of - legalese is only interpretable by specialized lawyers, who still generally default to "ambiguous no".

The real problem driving this article is the legacy ambient authorities wanting to expand their role, insisting that the informal intentions behind the design of (and decision to run) the code should carry more weight than the code itself! One of the implications of the End to End principle is that messages on the network carry no "universal" denotational meaning, but are purely what the endpoints make of them. Ambient authority has little place in a connected post-jurisdictional world, and so we must resist its attempts to further invade where it is simply inappropriate.

How much is the ink?
And yet Amazon introduced Alexa before Apple did.

Alexa (Applexa?) could have been a natural Apple product. HomePod is clearly a catch-up, and not a particularly interesting one given that Alexa has already moved to built-in screens, and creating an AI home-hub in a variety of form factors, both big and small, is a trivial update now.

Alexa gives consumers utility/service computing without all the tragic time-wasting updater/installer/management nonsense forced on them by desktops, laptops, and (to a smaller extent) tablets and apps.

Cook's Apple has missed the point of this, which is the subtle but huge difference between consumer utility computing and content and hardware consumption computing.

Jobs was a genius at making everything fit together, and I suspect he was reaching for a utility strategy. The iPhone and iPad were the first generation of utility devices, while Siri was a first gen utility service. They were wildly impressive for their time, but still limited by elements of desktop legacy thinking - which is why we have to wait while apps launch and close, instead of just being able to do whatever we want to do.

Cook sells SKUs, not synergies or utility. I see no evidence that Apple is able to think of the future with a unified vision that doesn't involve selling things - even if those things are music and video content units - enhanced by some very constrained AI.

Right now Amazon is more of a synergy company than Apple. The aim seems to be total domination of retail, but there's going to be some overlap in services and in hardware too, and Amazon seem better placed culturally to innovate in ways that win that race.

How about don't show automatic pop-ups at all?

These things have become a plague on the modern web. I'm so fucking sick of every single website pestering me to sign up for their newsletter. No, I don't want your newsletter. I want to read your article and move on. I'm probably never coming back to your site anyway. And no, I'm not turning off adblock either. So blocking me from entering your site because I'm running an adblocker means I will most certainly never whitelist your site, I will leave and never come back, and no matter what your content is, you're never getting ad revenue from me.

That's not necessarily true in the case of stock market bubbles.

Take a look at Cisco's chart from the dotcom bubble period. It took the elevator up - moving up 100% in a matter of months (adding ~$275b in market value, more than it has been worth at any point since) - and the elevator down. As was the case with most of the bubble valuation stocks at that time. The dotcom bubble massively exploded higher in the Summer of 1999, there was no escalator there. Typically in the case of bubbles, you get a gradual, aggressive move higher, then blow-off top and crash.
