Anyone have experience with single material or simplified process fabrication of pumps at slightly greater than microfluidic scales? I am seeing a lot of gaps in the market for pre-made pumps in the scales we operate in.

I believe that nothing is illegal about the vast majority of these projects. They are using legally-obtained source material and performing legal alterations of it.

You could argue that redistribution of the material violates copyright. However, so far as I remember the distribution channels insist that this is material for license-holders only (those who have bought the original DVDs or other media). And honestly, the people interested in these projects really do already have at least one copy of Star Wars on legal media, and sometimes far more than one! I'll even take it a step further and state that with merchandising ties (toys, video games, new films) that the market of people willing to throw money at Disney (I cry) only increases when exposing people who don't have licensed media to this material.
We know that is true. A lot of us think it should not be true.

The first sentence of the article says they bought them from two corporate landlords.
> This study assumes you must spend less than 30% of your income on housing

I'm not saying the study is good, but the lower the wage, the smaller the percentage of income remaining to spend on rent, because of basic cost of living, after a certain threshold all flexibility with income dissappears and cost of living dictates rent.

For high earners the cost of living is a small dent against their income, so percentage of income to spend on renting is a desicion about savings - this is not true of the lowest earners, it's a choice of eating.
What’s going on in core?
What’s also usually difficult to keep in mind today is that before photography you had to physically go to visit a painting itself to see it. The Mona Lisa became famous partially also because once the painting was stolen, most people couldn’t actually find out what it looked like.

This is something that we always miss with art - even on a digital screen you’re always only looking at a reproduction.

But it makes sense that, like with paintings, NFT’s could gain or lose value with the story of who it belongs to and when and how it was purchased. It makes perfect sense for celebrities to be purchasing these things.
>If they succeed, then you will almost certainly be unable or unwilling to pay them what some other similar company would pay them now that they have proven their ability as a lead. They will stick around for a while, but once something starts to go wrong anywhere on their team or in the company (and it will) they'll realize that it's probably going to be several years before there's any potential to climb the ladder any further, and they start to sniff around for what they should be making, and you'll lose them.

Oh wow. This was the EXACT thing to happen to me.
The only way to correct the market is for more supply to exist. Adequate supply would ensure that competition works.

People are against the idea because in their minds they won't be able to buy 2-3 homes and rent one or two out.

No, this is about companies owning 150,000 apartments in a city that they simply charge ever-increasing rent for. It's lunacy.

I write mostly about Python and everything related to it. I decided to create a blog because I wanted to improve my writing skills, English is not my first language and writing in English would be an opportunity to improve it, hopefully.

I'm trying to be consistent and I release two articles a month, one every other week.

The first version I used Hugo but I noticed that I was spending a long time tweaking it and not writing a single word. Then I found https://hashnode.com and gave it a go. They are a blogging as a service and it abstracts away most of the things that I was fighting with. The downsides is that it's not fully configurable but that's the price I decided to pay. But for basic stuff like domain name, analytics, newsletter it works out the box.
No no, you’ve got it backwards.

Munch made four versions of The Scream.

And then there is Andy Warhol with his Campbell's Soup Cans and other works of art.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Warhol

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campbell%27s_Soup_Cans

Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans were produced by a screen printing process and he made 32 canvases.

There is nothing that physically could have stopped Warhol from printing thousands of Campbell's Soup Cans instead of the 32.

And in the same way, a digital artist can choose to mint any number of NFTs for a work of art or variations of a work of art. If a digital artist chooses to mint a limited number of NFTs on the blockchain and this run of NFTs gains traction then it's a similar situation to the Campbell's Soup Cans in my opinion. In both cases, the artist could choose to print more physical Campbell's Soup Cans after the fact or mint more NFTs after the fact, but the initial run will forever be the "original" run, and they will remain special because of this. Simply because we assign special meaning to that.
Barium Sulphate is nothing new. It's used widely on integrating spheres, and I have painted some myself. The video that they show painting it on a piece of glass and comparing that to commercial paint is very misleading. It is not the easiest thing to work with, and is not at all durable. Once on a surface, it dries to a white chalky texture and just touching it will get it dirty and diminish its reflective properties. You would have to have so many additives to make it weatherproof and durable enough for outside that it would end up being no better than standard white paint. When I used it to coat an integrating sphere, it had to be thinned with 100% alcohol (impossible to obtain unless your a pharmacist because all non-drinking alcohol is poisoned so you can't get drunk without paying a liquor tax) so that all the thinning agent would dry out without leaving any residue behind. Anything left in the Barium Sulphate will diminish its reflectivity.

I don't know much about housing in Berlin, but I think the story is that in the time after the Berlin wall was torn down, late 80s, the city really needed money. As a result, they sold hundreds of thousands of publicly-owned apartments to these private companies in the 90s and 00s for almost nothing.[0][1] Now those apartments are worth a lot more, and people are mad because housing is not affordable to many. Hence you often hear demands for dispossession.

The whole story is probably a lot more complicated though, idk.

[1] https://www.tagesspiegel.de/wirtschaft/immobilien/neubau-in-...

edit: if you read [1] for example, the private companies bought 65000 apartments for 400 million Euro. Now the city bought back 14750 apts for 2.46 billion Euro. Considering that these houses probably have barely been renovated if at all, the quality probably dropped significantly.
GP (BiteCode_dev) made a valuable comment for how we can build a easily deployable python application with

>web framework, db, caching, task queues, static file serving, which can handle around 100k visitor each day without a sweat.

i.e. with 4-5 large dependencies of frameworks, libraries, software etc.

In Go you can off the bat reduce those dependencies to 1 or 2, even completely eliminate them, you get deployable package and async for free with faster development cycle and lesser headaches of managing dependencies in the long run.

There are many ways to write correct programs within the bounds of any programming language. In languages that support goto, you don't even need functions and loops.

However, like any human discipline, there are good patterns for how to write a maintainable program, and there are bad patterns. There may be particular cases where a typically bad pattern is nevertheless the best available. But I believe GP is right on a good definition of the most understandable and maintanable reason for exceptions.
More supply on limited land. Which will be bought out by the same 5 real estate companies, just like everything else.
It's a work of historical fiction that fictionalized history in order to tell a fictional story about a fictional character. Not a documentary. Like Netflix says, the case has no merit. they're not saying her feelings have no merit or that they didn't say what they said, just that the lawsuit has no merit and they have a legal right to say what they said.

It's an extremely dangerous precedent to set that anyone offended by fiction can sue the artist and win. that precedent would also have the inverse effect that an independent author could write a piece of fiction where Netflix lost to Blockbuster and went bankrupt then Netflix sues that author for offending and misrepresenting the company's history.
As another commenter notes, housing is unaffordable because marginal demand is greater than marginal supply. We can either decrease demand, or increase supply.

Housing demand is pretty sticky, so that leaves us with one option.

For the most part they _are_ done with that kind of conflict. And in situations where they do need to engage an adversary like that, it is far easier to use drones.

Of Money, Security and China
Are most people born since 2005 or something? All of the new government regulations I can think of that have impacted me personally that didn't exist when I was born (1980):

* Seat belt laws

* Can't smoke in bars and restaurants

* Can't smoke within 50 feet of a door

* Unaccompanied children at a park being considered neglect

* Illegal to use a mobile phone while driving

* Mandatory emissions checks to register a car

* Legal mandates for chicken pox vaccine

* Taking your shoes off and going through a body scanner to get on an airplane

* Time of day/time of week restrictions on alcohol sale (existed when I was born, but not where I lived, so new to me when I moved to Texas)

* Restrictions on how much sudafed you can buy

* Restrictions on filling out of state prescriptions forcing me to pick up and mail medication to my wife when she was traveling

* Real ID laws forcing me to make an appointment 9 months in advance and show up with what felt like 18 different types of proof I lived where I said I did in order to be able to vote

* The State of Texas apparently just passed a law saying my block of 6 townhomes now needs to keep minutes and retain paper records and send all communications to each other via registered mail even though we live 20 feet from each other

* I guess it's now illegal to get an abortion here?

Granted, none of these ever happened all at once in response to an emergency. I guess your friends are just lucky to have never lived in a place that experienced an emergency before this? Living through the LA riots wasn't all that pleasant, either. Anyone who has ever lived through a hurricane has not only been told they have to close their business, but they have to abandon their homes completely and leave the city without any guarantee they'll ever be able to return.

Sure, a national level emergency hasn't happened since the 1940s, and almost nobody alive today experienced that, but it is weird to see the divergence in response. As far as I know, shared sacrifice and repurposing of private goods to public purposes in the 1940s had the exact opposite effect. Especially since the measures were far more drastic. We didn't confiscate property and force Chinese Americans into internment camps this time around.
> Unaffordable means you cannot pay. It doesn’t mean it’s hard to get by.

That statement does not make sense in the case of housing. For most people, housing is their top priority. Not only is shelter a necessity in the survivalist sense, but there are cascading consequences for those who don't have housing. This ranges from it being extraordinarily difficult to secure and maintain employment to driving up the cost for other necessities such as food and clothing.

Put in other terms: if you have the choice between food and housing, your money goes towards housing. Technically speaking, food is more important since it is literally impossible to survive without it. Realistically speaking, food is still available from other sources (e.g. food banks). While there is a loss of dignity, there are fewer cascading consequences.

Even if a person can pay for their housing, I would argue that the word unaffordable still applies when they have to accept handouts for other necessities. I would also go a step further and suggest the unaffordable label applies when it impacts any socially imposed expense that will contribute to a downwards spiral that can lead to homelessness.
Read this classic essay: https://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/entry/23

The works are identical if bits don't have color (re linked essay above). We know they don't, but in the eyes of the law they definitely do, so an exact copy is still a copy in the eyes of the law.

Well to be fair buying 2-3 homes to rent is also undesirable rent-seeking, albeit on a smaller scale.
What is an investment defined as? Because I'm pretty sure someone can buy a home, rent it out and make a monthly return on it, thus satisfying both a place to live and investment.

Or live it in themselves as they ride the speculative wave.

The AF is interested in eliminating the A10, but they're even more interested in the Army not having its own fixed wings. Every time killing the A10 comes up, the Army goes "sure mate we'll take them off your hands" and the AF steps back.

If and when the Army stops wanting the A10, they'll immediately take it behind the barn and shoot it. Meaning they'll more likely end up waiting for the remaining warthogs to fall to pieces (the youngest frames are reaching 40 years of age) so there's nothing remaining for the Army to use. And the article describes them wilfully accelerating this by actively sabotaging the program.
> all non-drinking alcohol is poisoned

...in the USA.

In many (most?) other countries pure ethanol can be bought easily over the counter, and where I live even at any gas station. Yes, you could drink the ethanol from the gas station here (it has no additives, but better dilute it first), but nobody does because the cheapest cachaça isn't any more expensive.
Tar is black. (Zinc-)Titanium dioxide paint is an extra expense; using barium sulfate is crazy as barium is toxic. Problem of dirt. The money would be better spent on alternative sources of power besides fossil fuels.

As long as homes are being used there is little difference between them. The important bit to keep speculation rational is to keep occupancy rates high, a simple tax on unoccupied homes seems like the logical solution.
DNR (Digital Noise Reduction in this instance) has in the medical world another meaning of Do Not Resuscitate. I'm sure this will tickle those opposed
Well spotted. Based on this wording:

> each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of our Class A or Class B common stock; and

It seems that Dmitriy owns less than 5%.

As usual though, the wording in here is unnecessarily opaque and overcomplicated — it's possible there's some other technicality that allows him to be omitted from the list.
Well if Xi Jinping says so…
Even if you were right (and I don't think you are) about the same 5 real estate companies buying up all added supply, it wouldn't matter. Those 5 companies would still be subject to the forces of supply and demand. Increased supply with flat demand means falling prices.

I overspoke when I said "constant" - like everything, involute shape is a compromise, in this case (I think) between constant torque and manufacturability.

I should have said "the shape is intended to minimize torque transmission ripple".

I'll pull out my old textbook and see if I can figure out where I picked that up from.
That's on point
Socialized housing only creates slums. Tenants have no incentive to keep the place nice, government rationing of maintenance ensures they degrade faster than the government is willing to spend to keep them functioning. Anyone that can afford better moves out. Eventually (not that long), only destitute remain.
How does ChucK compare to Sonic Pi? https://sonic-pi.net/
If you declare housing "a fundamental right" then you still need more supply when you have a location (like Berlin) that doesn't have sufficient housing for the number of people that want to live there.

I wouldn’t use the Netherlands as an example, your link is only a “plan” they’re floating.

The housing situation here is horrible - skyrocketing prices and massive corporate ownership. Real estate is massive money, and the politicians are in on it - so nothing is going to actually change. Plus, they take forever for new builds, so supply doesn’t meet demand at all.
You're correct. ElectronJS support Nodejs, and that's where the functions perform
Missed that. Thank you good sir.
I can either own 2 apartments worth $50k each, or have $100k stock in a company that owns $15k aparments.

Can't outlaw one without outlawing the other one.

If you ban one entity from owning more than n apartments, they'll just create apartments/n shell companies.
That's because having a family is a choice, plain and simple, and this would incentivize having more kids to get paid more.
Extending that idea, we arrive from lunacy to a good thing: a city that is completely owned by one company. Where police is the company's private guards, the city council is its board of directors, and municipal taxes are just fees the company charges. And that is a good thing. I'd live in such a city if there was one.

For example: no homeless. This is all a private territory, and if you don't pay your rent, a guard escorts you off the premises. Very little if any crime because crime prevention is all in one hands and these hands are protecting by and large, their own private property and their profits (because if the crime rate goes up, rent goes down and rent is how they make money).

A wall keeping undesirables out.

Guards/police that can check your papers anytime just simply as they can say in a hotel - "what's your room number"? So no "undocumented" aliens.

There can't be any constitutional etc. bullshit that could prevent them from having an actual 24/7 guarded wall and checkpoints with papers check around their PRIVATE property. It can be a functional society where everyone who's there, belongs there.
They should have left them in Afghanistan, I will volunteer to take one of their hands too.
