Surprised and excited to see this on HN! I've been eyeing this machine for work but the tough part is designing a good mold. A simple two part mold is relatively easy with today CAD tools but it still takes some time to design if you are printing multiple pieces in one shot. If you want something for home, you're probably better off with a "drill press" injection molding machine [1]. It will run you less than $1K but you will need to do some post processing work.

And the vast majority of it is to access geoip restricted content, to get around government filters and for corporate use.
I swear most HN users have some form of orthorexia.
Agree with the sentiment. But in this instance the data, preliminary as it is, is pointing towards "no effect" in humans.

This is true of both animal studies, and preliminary statistical data on the few humans that have been trying CR for a few decades now. There is health improvement, but that's because CR is watching your diet, which is generally good for you. You correct for those factors and the effect basically disappears, at least into the high level of noise that comes with low sample sizes.

But if you still believe in CR, even easier is taking resveratrol. My understanding is that the caloric restriction basically causes the production of resveratrol which is the cause of the beneficial effects in mice. So take resveratrol and eat a normal amount of healthy food should have the same result.
At all the voting booths I've been to in Canada it would be super obvious if you tried to stuff the ballot. Even in the latest Russian election it was dead obvious with many incidents being captured on camera. Why are people allowed to loiter around the box?

The problem is they have no protocol for better protecting the ballot box and responding to ballot stuffing attempts and incidents. If you're not going to protect the ballot box it doesn't matter what tech you use for voting.
Reminds me of the Grateful Dead song I sing my kids when I put them to bed, "The Monkey and the Engineer".
I'd love to be able to see statistics about hits and misses on this, because in more than 10 years of touchscreen smartphone usage, I'm still yet to type even a single sentence correctly. I hold out hope for a decent dialling wand.
given that red and blue are used to color states and counties by political party it would have been better if they used a gray scale to show % of households in economic distress. Also, geographically larger counties tend to be more sparsely populated so the graphic could be further improved by showing raw counts of households in distress instead of percentages.
Funny, I find brits in the USA to be loud and poor at handling their drink. Some of the most self-centered people around. But stereotypes only hurt.
When I was a teen, my uncle, who was an executive at Oracle at the time, yelled at me for admitting on a medical form that I smoked pot. I said, "But, it's confidential, right?". He told me, "It may be confidential now, but it won't always be. Databases are forever." Apple won't be a privacy company in 10 or 20 years.
Most of the Spanish language notes are similar, with Colombia for example saying "veinte" (20) all over it

We have similar situation in Russia. For example, when one of high-ranking officers from anti-corrpution department was arrested, police found an equivalent of $123 000 000 in cash in his apartment [1]. He bought a separate apartment only to store the cash.

This amount of money can be compared to a budget of a city with population of 300 000 people.

A lot of the prestigious schools in the United States could not charge tuition going forward for decades and be fine financially still, they have massive endowments.

Harvard, Yale, University of Texas, Stanford, Princeton, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Pennsylvania, Texas A&M, University of Michigan, Northwestern University, Columbia University all have 10-30 billion EACH.

Roughly 100 colleges in the United States have endowments exceeding 1 billion dollars. Even with a billion in a broad market index fund they could burn 30 million a year and likely never run out of money, I think the most expensive tuition in the country is like 60k or some such, so the poorest of those 100 schools could take at least 500 students a year for free and not go broke.

There are about a dozen universities in the United States that have research budgets alone exceeding 1 billion dollars a year.

Kinda makes you wonder why college tuition is so expensive at those 100~ schools...

And I don't think those endowments include real estate value or income from IP the schools own thanks to research conducted there.
The genius of American policy.

Create a hostile environment for Chinese students so that they are encouraged to return home.

Then prevent them from coming at all because they may return home.

This completely ignored that the massive majority of Chinese stay in the US, and even more would stay in the US contributing disproportionately more than nearly every other grouping of people.

If it wasn't for the US driving them away, it's hard to see why any Chinese national, especially a well educated one, would ever choose to leave the US for China.
Aubrey De Grey isn't focused on giving esoteric anti-aging advice (unlike say Ray Kurzweil), he spends his time talking about the science and progress of anti-aging research.

Knowing that; living healthy is obviously important, but to suggest that you should also drop your intellectual curiosity for anti-aging science, like your comment essentially did, is just absurd. It's close to saying that people interested in physics should stop reading physics books and start playing ball sports instead.

An Interactive Introduction to Simulated Annealing
Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World
OP here. As someone who launched and fulfilled a small plastic gizmo on Kickstarter and then sold them on Amazon and at local Makerfaires, this equipment really spoke to me. Hence the submission. I 3D printed my product initially and found market fit at $5/piece, which didn't leave me with a lot of options to go into production and build a profitable business off it. 3D printing them was unsustainable. Which is why I'm not currently selling them.

In order to produce them cost effectively, I'd need molds that cost several times what this entire system cost. And after that I'd have to order thousands at a time to bring my cost down to say $1. I passed on that at the time and considered producing them myself but this machine didn't exist at the time. If it had, I might be making them now! There are other benchtop/low volume molding systems but nothing comes as close to automatic production as this one.

As for the company's site, this is fairly typical, but I'm sorry I didn't link to a better page. It certainly didn't get my blood boiling though. Them showing their price brings lots of good will. The CNC mill is also very interesting, with 4 motors driving the Z axis simultaneously.
I believe because of Cyrillic URL spoofing from a about 10-15 years ago most people stay away from UNICODE urls. China's numeric URL's maybe so that tracking URL's are easier, but that's just a guess.
I'm Icelandic, male and with no experience of cancer of my own. But with considerable insight into and an bad experience with the healthcare system.

This is not a accurate description of the healthcare system.

It's true that the search for cancer is active here and pretty good. You can find information about the screening system here: https://www.krabb.is/english/

The price she mentioned is not correct. First she updates the price from 3ISK to 300ISK. Nothing costs 3ISK here. 300ISK is barely worth charging. So 3000ISK or ~25USD (currently) seem more likely. Here are the prices, in Icelandic. https://www.krabb.is/leitarstod/leitarstodin/verdskra/

It states that breast scan is 4700ISK (~38USD) for people within the national health system(insured) and 9200ISK (~75USD) for those not within. The breast ultrasound is ~135USD to ~150USd. In anycase, not great sums.

Regarding the referral part, it's true that you do not need a referral for this specific thing.

But to get to speak to a specialist, you do first need to go through a general practitioner or your family doctor to get a referral.

My take on the system, long waits, overworked staff, indifferent government workers, outdated equipment and buildings. This results in (my case) unnecessary mistakes and harm.

What is true, is that you will not be bankrupted going to a doctor or getting fixed up after an accident. A seemingly popular US thing is to point out that it's not free, you pay for it with your taxes. That is obliviously true, and in my view a much more preferred way of operating than the US way.

Anyways, just wanted to put some insight into this. Cheers from Iceland!
They were funded by the state. Funding which has been systematically cut back over the past 2 decades.
tip: use pyenv instead
I don't undersand many of your comments here. Also couldn't belive my fucking eyes when i saw Apples' billboard "What happens on your iphone, stays on your iphone" Everyone already forgot so quickly about, vulnerability bruteforcing with Cellebrite, Greyshift - Greykey or Apples' active PRISM involvement? All those prove their billboard is bullshit. Nobody minds that Apple probably until this very day doesn't even know what was or still is exploited by Cellebrite? And yet many of you happily hail Apple for privacy? It's closed source - that's why unsecure by default and anything they say cant't be proven only blindly trusted by stupid. I am waiting for upcoming Linux phones now which are gonna be only privacy guaranteed phones. Apple is again manipulating simple and stupid people showing them shiny brushed objects and promises that they won't be able to keep because they are fucking closed source which goes against the whole privacy bullshit they try push so much. Good luck people just buy those iphones than watch how law enforcement and maybe soon your employers extract your data. CCTV and IP Cameras spying and data collection are everywhere. Fucking GDPR is useless. Try to sue someone for gdpr violations than let me know how many years it took you to get justice if at all. You people will never learn do you?
Is there a need for so many new people? I don't see why the current pool of conscious agents can not live longer and reduce the frequency of ultimate personal tragedy.

Few people are trying to make the case for shortening life in the interest of having more children, so is there anything special about the current balance to suggest we should not continue to push it further away from this?

If ageing becomes something we can turn off, and we become biologically immortal, then I think the main unfortunate consequence is that the remaining causes of death become more dominant and are unnatural and unpredictable: accident; poverty; war; disease.
I remember reading when Facebook announced Aroma to auto suggest common coding patterns to FB engineers[0]. I haven't used much for code completion before but this idea sounds really interesting. It sounds like the IntelliCode implementation sources suggestions from repos with a higher number of stars so hopefully that helps with noise. For JS I'm sure the variability in style is pretty big.

For people that have been trying IntelliCode for a while does it help much with development? Does it have the ability to suggest larger code snippets or only word by word?

But if the government picked a tax rate, they'd likely do it with a forecast in mind of what externality would remain, so it only makes a difference in as far as there's uncertainty, and then only until the next round of permit quantities is picked.
I was taught that Article 102 is the test for abuse of monopoly power in the EU. It actually uses the words “dominant position” if I’m not mistaken.

I haven’t studied this since the late 90’s, so I may be out of date...
Floating point math is good enough for the vast majority of use cases.
This is the kind of approach to things that I tend to associate with the global non-denominational death cult.

Part of the problem is that if you value your privacy you just don't use Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc. You can't trust them no matter what.

I never would have thought it would turn out this way for Google. I trusted anarcho-capitalists but they ended up being less anarcho and more capitalist.
They call it AI, it all looks cool and shiny, but I remember that Visual Studio 2010 was using usage stats already to make auto-complete more useful. Then I think either 2013 or 2015 canned that approach and reverted to a dumb auto-complete (and was a major regression in term of UX). This is merely re-introducing something that already existed.
Natives = people who were born and grew up here. Stop being intentionally obtuse. Nobody is native on a long enough timeline.
The purgatorium.
There's plenty of people who enjoy a period of intense growth and hard work.

To me the bigger issue is sustainability and scalability. You can build a small dedicated team with a culture like this, but once you have that culture it won't go away easily. When you're trying to scale up and retain a large staff, I would argue that a culture of overworking is detrimental. Good luck retaining employees who have less equity and are not directly connected with the founder, but who are still expected to work 60+ hours a week.
> In order to produce them cost effectively, I'd need molds that cost several times what this entire system cost.

Was that price from China or the U.S. (or somewhere else)?

> I passed on that at the time and considered producing them myself but this machine didn't exist at the time. If it had, I might be making them now!

Does this mean you stopped making your product after fulfilling the Kickstarter orders?
The only crashes I've had from NT kernel over the past 15 years or so are from graphics card drivers and bad RAM.

Linux is a lot less stable, as a laptop OS, than Windows or OSX. Suspend and resume in presence and absence of multiple monitors is like rolling dice; locks up about 15% of the time.

This isnt the postmortem though. It says they're still working on that.
I don't agree - it says how much storage each version comes with up front in large font on the marketing page https://www.apple.com/mac-pro/specs/. It even lists the 256GB SSD option first, as the default option.
If you managed to get on that list, congrats, you are a BIG deal and might win the next Nobel peace prize. Honestly I’ll be super proud of myself if they put me on that list (it’s probably shorter than 100 for people under 25)

How long on earth do you think this exit list is?
Nuclear weapons can be built with plutonium, not enriched uranium. And plutonium from power reactors can be used, although it's not ideal.
They tried, turns out good education is hard to scale.
I would never classify being alive as “stealing resources” but regardless, you’re assuming that people don’t make meaningful contributions to society while alive. What if while you were living longer you cured cancer?

Under your philosophy wouldn’t reproducing steal even more resources? If you have three children then you’re stealing them 3X faster.

Who does the raping and killing ? Is there any reliable data on that ? If it is predominantly people of European descent I will buy "genocide", otherwise, it's "just" another indigenous culture falling apart from being exposed to European culture. Oh, sorry ... we can't look at the "race" of the perpetrators, because that would be racial profiling.
I think we are living at just the dawn of a long and very privacy obsessed era, that will probably become more intense as the decades pass, and the generations. I don’t see why a company that pounces on this reality now won’t be still successful at it decades from now.
Did I claim "all just Chinese propaganda"?
I was taught in mathematical induction lessons that necessary condition does not equal sufficient condition.

I don't disagree with the rest of your statements. But I think even after disregarding an open southern border, the US is still relatively open.

You can't really stop wood movement or even reduce the amount it moves. It can be slowed down a little with some finishes (then you have a "wood-plastic composite"). Kiln drying (do you mean this by "torrefying"?) will make the wood dry for a while, but when the temperature and (absolute) humidity will rise on the summer, the wood will absorb moisture from the air and expand and shrink again next winter.
It's good to see at least one tech giant wants to compete on privacy, rather than selling our data. It's great that Apple does this. And yet, I find the Apple ecosystem closed and restrictive. I'm not eager to get an iPhone and would much rather use something like Lineage OS, for example.
There's a solution but it's awkward. We scandinavians use æøå but rarely do we use them in URIs. Like the electronics chain "Elkjøp" uses "elkjop.no" - this is coincidentally one of the few that has actually registered "elkjøp.no".

I have "kråke.re" myself but the DNS entry is really xn--krke-roa.re because international character DNS is an ugly, ugly hack.
Are there any illiterate or gullible armies left in China?

If I never hear the argument that "tech is just too hard and bandwidth too unaffordable, poor Zuckerberg/Bezos/Brin are so destitute they would just have to shut down the web and phones completely without behavioral advertising" it would great because it's a very very bad argument.
In this thread I've seen the overpopulation argument framed as theft. Here are all the others I've found.

Summary of pro death arguments:

Fairness
Only rich people will get it. (No tech has ever done this.)
Better to give money to the poor than science. (family, city, state, nation, has proven local investment beats foreign.)
Bad for society
Dead people make more room for new, other people. (consider going first.)
Run out of resources (live people discover/extract/renew better than dead or nonexistent)
Overpopulation (colonize the seas, solar system, or have a war.)
Stop having kids
Worse wars (nukes are more dangerous than having your first 220 year old person in 2136)
Dictators never die (they die all the time and rarely of age)
Old people are expensive (50% of your lifetime medical cost occur in your final year. Delay is profitable.)
Old people suck. (death is an inferior cure to robustness.)
Bad for individual
You'll get bored. (your memory isn't that good, or your boredom isn't age related)
You'll have to watch your loved ones die. (so you prefer they watch you?)
You'll live forever in a terrible state. (longevity requires robustness.)
Against gods will (not if he disallows suicide, then it is required.)
People will force you to live forever (they aren't able to do this now, why would they begin to be?)

Do you think less people make progress faster? What's your target level of depriving life of existence? How do you plan to keep mankind robust from extinction events on a single planet? You might just need more people. What do you think our technology would look like if we had 10x less people for the last 100 years?

More people make more progress faster. Aren’t you glad your parents didn't decide the world would be prettier or work better without you in it? If great minds like Einstein, Bell, Tesla, Da Vinci etc., were still alive and productive today, the world would be a better place. You're literally asking for others to die out of your fear. The burden should be higher. Have courage. If living longer comes with too many disadvantages, we'll know 100 years from now and decide then.

Man up, save your family, save yourself.

P.S. Curing aging isn't immortality. You die at 600 on average by accident, and if the parade of imaginary horrible things comes true, even earlier.
If the caps would be reduced by meaningful amounts every year so that we reach carbon neutrality in fifteen years or so that would be true. But nobody is doing that.
>>in the case of complaining about China causing problems for US interests in the China sea, the China sea is a lot nearer to China than it is to the US.

Trade routes over for one. Freedom of navigation is another reason. What they might go after next time is another concern. Like it or not, USA has interests and allies over there.
oh yeap, been struggling with this forever.
Great story, reminds me the one about Wojtek - Syrian brown bear who was a soldier of the Polish II Corps during World War II - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wojtek_(bear).
> Huh. Then my friends and I may be unusual. We all seem to prefer solving problems to managing people.

Clearly, you have never had the "opportunity" to manage people.
I had never heard of that term but now that I know what it is, I think you’re right. There are so many very strong opinions about diet here and very little quality data to back it up (because for the most part it doesn’t exist).
Try to use it as daily driver. Very difficult.
I don't think those 'considered harmful papers' are actually computer science papers though? Things like 'Go To Statement Considered Harmful' were magazine articles rather than papers.
But the cost of selling an app does not primarily depend on its cost. Size, frequency of updates etc. are a much bigger factor. Them taking a flat 30% is a clear sign Apple is a price-maker and the market doesn't work.

And taking 30% for in-app purchases — while forbidding developers from even advertising ways of purchasing that bypass Apple — is just plain anticompetitive.
This is very similar to my first foray into programming - a small script that outputs how likely each letter is to occur, given some input string: https://github.com/jake-mason/probability_keyboard
This has to do with mitochondrial metabolic processes being the most efficient to break down smaller quantities of sugar. There are mitochondrial mechanisms to break down a lot at once that are turned on in the presence of more sugar but they just aren’t as finely tuned and thus generate free radicals which can cause cellular problems. There really wasn’t a point throughout evolutionary history where there was a prolonged abundance of sugar available to the degree it is today. Because of that, the mechanisms to break down a lot of carbohydrates/sugars at the same time just did not evolve to be as operationally efficient. Free radicals can cause DNA/RNA disruptions and also damage other processes. Source: father is a dedicated microbiologist
But free trials are never really free: after 14 days when you've probably already forgotten about the app, your card gets charged. There needs to be a proper way to try stuff without slyly charging them.

Maybe ask them outright at the end of the trial if they want to carry on?
Very interesting. Is it easy to type this special characters on your mobile?
