Several people have commented on how this will change appliances and toys.

Let's look at this popular hundred dollar coffee maker: http://amzn.com/B004SOZVQ2 which one could order within seconds and have it delivered within two days.

Just from the picture, one can see it has at least two dozen parts made from seven different materials ranging from injected molded plastic, stainless steel, glass, as well as electronic components.

It would be incredibly time consuming and wasteful to print each of these pieces with a 3D printer.

As others suggested, you could print a custom injection mold for each component, but then you would need the injection molding machine, several different kinds of raw plastics, and some means to get rid of the unused, potentially toxic, materials.

Okay, to complex. How about a simple toy, like this ten dollar Nerf gun. http://amzn.com/B0002UP0IA

Again from the picture one can see seventeen different pieces all different colors and at least three types of plastic and a least one metal spring.

This gun could be made with 3D printing technology, but it would waste an incredible amount of material and would take a fair amount of time. You would still have to order the darts and spring separately.

I could see someone wanting to make this themselves; those who like legos, model trains etc.

3D printing can be world changing for hobbyists. The rest of us have already had our world changed by modern manufacturing, global supply chains, and online retail.

Thanks for the compliments on our Twitter profile design!

Completely agreed re: your Twitter page (and any other marketing channel) needing to serve your business objectives.

As quality design is one factor in establishing trust in a brand, we feel that when brands get something so basic as layout of their Twitter profile wrong, it warrants a nod and perhaps a nudge, which is what this post is intended to be.
Link Relations
Aren't all businesses "succeed-or-die" ventures?
The best moderation I've experienced is here on HN, and on Slashdot. I think this is for two reasons:

1. The cultures of the communities are largely technical, which is a culture that tends to care more about accuracy and truth, rather than just how closely a comment hews to personal opinions. It's okay to disagree if you present reasonably worthwhile support in the post.

2. The structure of the communities only allows highly valued members to down vote. On Slashdot all moderation (up or down) is controlled by the karma system, and metamoderation "watches the watchers". Here on HN, you must have quite a bit of karma (I think ~500 these days) before you can down vote.

Compare to Reddit, which in most subreddits probably the worst quality moderation I've ever seen in a community. Unpopular truths are downvoted to oblivion, and lies rise to the top if they validate popularly held beliefs. The only exception that comes to mind is /r/askscience, which sets a very high bar to comment at all--all answers must be presented by proven experts or contain references to scientific publications.

For me, the most undervalued book is The Art of Worldly Wisdom by Baltasar Gracian y Morales.

It's a small book of very condensed and timeless wisdom in the form of maxims, written very poetically. It's not a self-help book, the kind you might picture. (any book is self-help in some way).

Perusing 5-10 maxims a day about 5 years ago heavily influenced the way I live my life, and still defines my character today.
Thanks. I didn't recognize the voice but I was really glad that they had a nice narrator for all of this live internet coverage.
Ask HN: Would you give your parents a Chromebox?
Flickering Text with CSS & JS
Exactly. There is a huge gap between how the system was designed to work and how it actually works.

What upvoting is supposed to be: "Good post that adds a lot to the discussion."
What it really is: "I agree with this guy."

What downvoting is supposed to be: "Person is spamming, making a weak point or arguing in an inflammatory manner."
What it really is: "You're wrong shut the hell up."

This problem could be fixed if people were forced to give a reason for their upvotes and downvotes. Imagine if every time you click upvote, a small textbox appears that has a list of predefined options, such as "valid point" or "good contribution" or "i learned something". Similarly, every time you click downvote, it automatically takes you to the Reply page; if you don't reply, your downvote does not go through.

This kind of transparency would encourage people to be more thoughtful when they cast their votes.
How do people like http://960.gs ?
The AWS secret is nowhere in that code. Just the ID, which is not privileged.
What sucks is that a lot of good places like The Atlantic and Wired are also applying their brands on link-laden blogs with no editorial standards whatsoever. It's short term gains at long term losses to their credibility.

I would like to start a curated list of high quality journalism sites with a policy of delisting the sites that go The AOL Way, given sufficient evidence provided by users. It would be awesome if we could remove the profit motive from stooping to scrape the bottom of the barrel.
If you build the product yourself (write the code yourself), you are a technical founder.

If you don't write the code yourself, you will need to partner with or hire someone who can. That would make you a nontechnical founder.

To use a famous example, Woz was the technical founder, while Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne were nontechnical founders.
“Invalid email or password.” Really?
Today, I am in New Mexico hanging off a wind turbine blade (that's what I do for work), when I noticed a strange looking balloon in the sky off to the north west. I radioed my ground support guy, who got on his iPhone, and sure enough, it's the supersonic skydiver. Talk about front row seats!
Just incredible to watch something like that live. Held my breath the whole time, particular through free fall. When you see him sitting up there from 120,000 feet like he's on a rocking chair, it sort of puts into perspective any time you think you were brave in your life!
It has never done that for me. While I see the number of points my posts get, I don't see why. Often times I suspect that people downvote me because they disagree, and not because I'm factually wrong.
Not on per-project basis.
I really like wysihtml5. Can someone do a bit of comparison and let us know if redactor is worth the money.

Why would a public kiosk even be running a consumer OS? They should be running a bare-bones OS with EVERYTHING not necessary to perform their intended functions removed. AND be on their own network.

Why are power plant (and other similar) control systems in any way accessible by the internet?

Why are credit-card processor internal networks in any way accessible by the internet?

Answer: because it's what happens by default, and people are too lazy or too ignorant to configure appropriate safeguards.
How is this any better than WYSIHTML5?
It went as high a 8 mio viewers, so ~488 GB/s. Maybe a new record for Youtube?
skeleton + twig + laravel = no complaints.
To Red Bull: fix your coverage next time! Your website and Twitter feeds weren't really ever carrying the latest information pre-launch, and your blog was 24 hours out-of-date whenever I checked. (Also YouTube was buffering, it wasn't my connection). Bit of a mess from the PR-masters imo.
I think the behavior is the same on every site that has upvoting and downvoting functionality.
404 Error Pages - Some best error pages to get inspired
Great write-up and clever marketing from mcdonnald's. I too believe that more honesty is better. People can relate to you more when you admit you screwed-up or made a mistake. Trying to always be perfect perhaps paradoxically detracts from your appeal and people will do their own thinking and probably conclude that you're disingenious. I think the same goes to us all as people communicating with each other, as it does to companies communicating with our customers.
With a rating scale of only 1, 0, and -1, I think most people reserve -1 for comments that, usually in addition to not adding new insight, are disruptive/off-topic/rude/etc.
Sometimes this is because of tenure / union issues. Which brings me to my point: teacher compensation shouldn't just be about attracting new people (what do we do with the old ones, ship em to Yemen?), it should also be about training, empowering, and incentivizing the existing cadre to perform to higher standards.
Well, "die" as in "fail really hard". Like work 2 years for no pay and then make no money after you launch. Thankfully it hasn't happened yet, but it's always a possibility.

Also, you know within the first hour of launch whether or not your game will be profitable or not, so it's a suspenseful time.
What's your favorite CSS framework, and why not not?
Why should I make sure to not not use this framework you propose?
I know of one software shop locally where the dev and build machines are on a complete network island. No external access at all. If you need to google something you need to use a different computer connected to the public internet. A bit inconvenient, but not unworkable. Devs have a laptop or tablet for public browsing, and their actual work takes place on the "clean room" network.

Use cases of supersonic sky dives... pretty much limited to space launch aborts.

There's also a lot of military applications. Most of the previous records were set by Joe Kittinger, Felix's flight communicator, in 60's as part of military research.

As an aside, we don't actually know if this truly is the first time this has been done as there's plenty of reason why the US (or even Russia perhaps) could have already done this in secret.
FWIW, I'm running Raspbmc RC5 and am able to watch 1080i MPEG2 (recorded HDTV streams) and 1080p H264 streamed over my local network. Sometimes audio decoding causes issues (I don't have it hooked up to a receiver) like strange audio glitches.

CPU usage does stay high while using XBMC menus, but it seems responsive enough.
I and many others were streaming in HD, though, so surely the total bandwidth must be much higher.
I love that. Worked for me though. Cool idea. I wonder if it increased engagement.
Bootstrap isn't for everyone/everything.

I think it's more of a comment on when/where the book was written rather than what it is about. It is a journal he kept while on campaign.
I wished he removed some of those words though and I really want to believe that people don't use racist commit messages.
I keep "show dead" on so that I can catch users who were hellbanned because they somehow angered a moderator when he was having a bad day. Usually I'll find 2-3 per week, some of them having posted insightful comments for over a YEAR without realizing they'd been banned. From my informal count, I'd say that less than 50% of hellbans that I've seen are legitimate.

I also make a habit of upvoting comments that have been unfairly downvoted, and downvoting silly one-liners that don't add anything but noise to the discussion.

As for my own comments being downvoted, it really makes no difference to me since people can still read the comment. If I ever get hellbanned, I'll just leave.
Better yet: Is there a well defined structure for other folks to add that stuff?
The health data base is very well protected from what I know. And access is strictly monitored. If patient notes are viewed by someone who does not need to view them, they face harsh discipline. I recall a case from when I used this database a long time ago. In terms of high profile issues with it, the current eel-in-arse story is going to result in action and this is being done via the systems user tracking.

Video Marketing – Works – WHY?
Video Marketing Service will show you the way to the top. Now that we all know videos are the next big thing for promoting an online marketing business, we can think about how to make the best use of video.
the only reason I don't do this is because a hacker could potentially guess an email or username until its correct, then brute force his way in with a password (because a lot of users don't make secure passwords that are long, multi characters, etc). Maybe it makes it a little bit more difficult but for me its worth it. Also, even google does this and I think most end users are accustomed to seeing this message.
Am I the only person on earth that noticed Bootstrap's problem of not centering anything?

>>The cultures of the communities are largely technical, which is a culture that tends to care more about accuracy and truth, rather than just how closely a comment hews to personal opinions.

I think you're greatly exaggerating the tendency of technical people to value accuracy and truth over personal opinions. In my experience, people who are technical also tend to have very strong opinions about everything, especially if the subject is technical in nature.

>>The structure of the communities only allows highly valued members to down vote... Here on HN, you must have quite a bit of karma (I think ~500 these days) before you can down vote.

500 karma is really easy to accumulate. All one has to do is conform with popular opinion, and for an active poster it would take a month or so. I was under 500 karma recently, and I kept thinking to myself how much easier it would have been if I had posted in threads about controversial topics and just agreed with everyone. If I had sided with Samsung for example, and spouted the popular (but wrong) opinion that the decision hurts innovation.

(I apologize in advance for linking to my own blog, but I had not seen this issue reported on any tech blog nor appeared in the "new" queue on HN, so I wrote a quick post this morning on the issue, as it's technically interesting.)

I cannot speak to jandrewrogers specific reason, but the two major sticking points I've seen developers hit is the STL's bad allocator design and the lack of intrusive data structures. Check out EASTL for more information [1][2].

I'm not saying you're completely wrong here, but from a security standpoint, as a site owner, you really don't want to give any information that can be used against you, and your own users. To put it bluntly, this approach is kinda "you're not a user deserving a 'user-experience' until you actually proved that you are a real user".

I think it really depends on the type of site and its concerns about security. I'll give you two extreme examples:

* A hobbyist site for knitting, targeted at elderly people. Perhaps it should care more about the user experience, helping people to login even if they made a typo, than to protect from hackers finding out which email accounts exist on the site.

* Some bizarre highly-personal fetish site. Knowing whether or not an email address is registered on this site is in itself something worth protecting. Not to mention increasing the chances of then being able to hack into one of those accounts.

Basically what I'm saying is that security is almost always a trade-off, and it depends on the site and its user expectations.
I'm personally wondering of Felix did that deliberately to leave Joe in the record books.
While you care it's not the edge of space, and I care, do your mother care? Does she know the difference between the two, or is 128,000 feet just really high, and might as well be outer space. If anyone does figure it out, well yeah it's a marketing spin, but it doesn't discount what he did and what it took to get there.
Are you positive it wasn't your connection? It worked perfectly for me, as well as (seemingly) quite a few others.

You should check out https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Information_Leakage#Accident...

You might increase usability slightly, but in exchange you are allowing attackers to cut the work they need to do to compromise your users accounts in half. If you use email addresses for login, you are also allowing spammers to verify valid email addresses against your system for spam or phishing attacks later on.
Not just financed by Guiness, but they thought that it gave them a competitive advantage. I doubt falling at Mach 1 will give Red Bull a competitive advantage. In fact it directly contradicts their marketing :) (Red Bull gives you wings...)
I think this is pretty cool, but if you play it, you'll immediately realize that the physics are off (compare left/right motion with up/down/gravity) Is this just a basic problem with JS games, or a result of the compact implementation?

I don't think it is obvious that decades and decades of appreciating home values were unrelated to a housing bubble.

It certainly wasn't the immediate cause, but I think it probably helped set the stage (it would be really interesting to have an alternate Earth where we could look and see what happened without that particular government meddling).
> The idea that porn (not that these pictures are porn) will lead to predatory behavior was the leading cry of old-school feminism, but is not so widely accepted.

True, but I don't think the creepshot situation is comparable. In the porn case, you have material produced with the consent of the participants (ideally). Those arguing against it are using a speculative argument that some viewers might be led to predatory behavior from it.

In the creepshots case, the material is produced without the consent of the subjects, and is arguably obtained by people who are engaging in predatory behavior and rewarding them for that behavior. The link between creepshots and predators is thus not speculative, and it is combined with a gross violation of the privacy of the subjects of the photos.

Furthermore, the acceptance of creepshots harms all of us in the United States. A key aspect of our Constitutional protections against unreasonable intrusion in our private affairs by the government is the notion of a reasonable expectation of privacy.

When we, as a society, decide that some particular loss of privacy is acceptable that moves the bar a little on what the government is allowed to do.

See this fantastic article by Alex Kozinski, Chief Judge of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on how we are giving up our privacy voluntarily and how that is giving more power to the government: http://www.stanfordlawreview.org/online/privacy-paradox/dead...

If everything goes according to plan (I know, that's a big if), then Virgin Galactic, Blue Origin, and others like John Carmack's space company will be doing literally thousands of suborbital flights in the next 5 years or so. Not just tourist flights, but tons of science missions as well. Taking a step towards someone being able bail from those kind of flights is definitely useful. Very unlikely that this would be used for orbital launch anytime soon, it's way safer to abort an orbital launch in the capsule than to try and eject.

The military has also looked at using suborbital rockets to transport special forces hundreds of miles in a few minutes, then deploy them high over a hotspot quickly. So it could conceivably be useful for those purposes as well. (To be clear, these are just forward-looking conceptual studies. I'm not saying the military has these vehicles ready to go or anything like that).

Lastly, these guys are innovating on spacesuits design, which has been badly needed. Only a handful of spacesuit designs have ever been built and actually used in practice, and they were built by government entities. We're talking the slowest, most ponderous development cycles imaginable. NASA is still essentially using the same spacesuits on the space station that they first used with the shuttle in the early 1980's. Think about how many gains we've made in materials since then. The more suits we can build, test in the wild, and iterate on the better.
Are they hoping to have a "default enabled" implementation when 18 goes release?
> Fixing up man pages is something that non-technical volunteers could help with

Another problem with that is that most tools used in this process are made with technical users in mind. A lot of people can expand documentation, but sending manpages patches in a bug tracker is a technical step.
How much did each of those steps actually help you earn income as a freelancer?

When I tried, most of them didn't help much at all. I am convinced, more often than not, that making a good wage as a freelancer/consultant is to have expertise in an area of interest - like using Ruby on Rails to increase sales of early stage startups through their online store; or using Visual Web Optimizer to increase conversions in enterprise businesses. The more specific the better.

Granted, I am still learning my place and getting my bearings, but my experience and the experience of others seems to point me in that direction.

If you are displaying a message such as: "If the email address you provided is registered, you will receive an email shortly." then fine :)
