i am always amazed at how 3d printer articles brought to the forefront of this aggregator rarely, if ever, talk about the peachy printer

in considering lowering costs i suppose the question is who is assessing these costs: an individual, or a company

form1 is interesting but at 3.3k that is quite expensive for an individual

there is an effort for a 100$ stereolithographic printer called the peachy printer

comparing specs:

pP(i) form1(ii)
resolution .2mm 20-200microns(.02-.2mm)
build vol ?inf?* 125×125×165
software open closed
price printer 100$** 3.3k$
price resin 60$ 150$
* peachy's design is formless, seemingly only limited by the tank volume and struts
** 100$ self assembly, 400$ fully built

when the peachy is finalised and in the hands of users i think this build volume aspect will be a source of very interesting experimentation and debate

peachy was impressive when it started its effort and has steadily improved but the really impressive element of the campaign for me is the transparency of development(iii), and the ethics of its staff(iv)

also the software is opensource : https://github.com/PeachyPrinter

Thanks! It means "made more fun" but it's not exactly an official word. But as soon as it becomes one, I'm gonna claim that I coined it! ;)
Of course, but it does solve all such intonation problems.
Some of this was already exposed by the @Wikibaghdady jihadi twitter leaker https://justpaste.it/e90q
Yep. Basically, the ones who use it incorrectly are subsidizing the ones like myself who (ab)use it correctly.
Does labor compound? My understanding is that say a freelance carpenter who works 20% harder for 40 years ends up about 20% richer not 1.2 ^ 40 = 1469 times richer

>Also, they make most people feel fantastic and like they can conquer the world. Is it really any question why people would find that appealing?

Perhaps, but what is the delta increase in zeal for their project. Presumably they were tolerably enthusiastic before taking the pill. Is the difference significant?

Now if it makes the user feel better then that alone might be a good reason for taking it. But let's not suppose that a bad project or feckless employee is going to become the next google or Einstein because of a pill.
It is patently absurd to claim jython or groovy have more marketshare (as you define accepatance). Thats where the principal charity kicks in and oneone might ppose since the claim seems absurd, perhaps the author meant something else. Perhaps the leap was too great, but i stand by it.
Radio Shack and Heath kits were a pretty good way to start.
I lived in Japan and had a Sempai (mentor). You do lots of menial jobs for them for a very long time. This proves you have the tenacity required so they're not wasting their time and allows them to profit off you from getting cheap/free labour. Eventually, if you show self control, they may allow you to step up with learning. This can take 3-5 years. I don't think many people are willing to go through it, frankly. Sounds nice but it's a hell of a sacrifice and a gamble. Your mentor might be a dick.

Things to consider for equity position in exchange of salary
Hi All,
I am a developer and recently I am being offered for the equity position in exchange of salary for flexible(fulltime, parttime or little) work. The clients of the project are actively seeking for the investors. They know that I am the key person who can take the project( in terms of development) in the most successful path as I have worked on it from scratch to the current state.

They however cannot provide me the salary at this point. But they want to provide me equity in exchange. Since this thing is completely new to me and I am not aware of that are the factors or things that I should take care of before making the decision or accepting/declining the offer.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Excellent. The list of articles is interesting. More has been done than I thought had been done, and it is interesting stuff. The visualisation I find a problem, because it masks the nuances of thed studies and verges on the misrepresentation. But the underlying studies definitely feed my concern.

There is the issue of whether mindfulness meditation is anything more than a coincidental piggyback on meditation. But there are several studies in the list that, while not directly controlling for that, certainly provide strong circumstantial evidence (most of the linked research is not about mindfulness at all).

So I definitely take back the more extreme tone of my skepticism, (for whatever that is worth!)
The problem statement is basically copied verbatim from RFC 5246 sections 5 and 6.3.

The author picked a cryptographic function from a rather important and widely deployed real-world internet protocol (TLS 1.2), but of course since the author is writing about Haskell readers assume it must be some esoteric academic nonsense that undoubtedly involves category theory, whatever that is.

Chargebacks remove all responsibility from the buyer. Perhaps we'd be better off if the consumer did have to put some thought into the quality of the goods and services they're purchasing and the vendor they're purchasing from? In particular I don't think chargebacks should be allowed for sales under (at least) $50. In many cases where the sum is below that amount, the chargeback fee and man-time cost asssociated with filing a dispute makes it an automatic loss of money for the vendor, even if he/she wins the dispute.
When I played back in the mid-90s, creatures were incredibly underpowered: easy to kill, and great for fun/munchkin play (Force of Nature! 8/8 for 6 mana!) Most of the "good" decks were creatureless.

The ridiculously powerful creatures and creature-strategies that came later (like Tarmogoyf and, to get really egregious, fucking affinity) seem to be overcorrections to the long-standing weakness of creatures. You could do a lot with your green growth decks (mana-generating elves and huge creatures on early turns) to beginning and intermediate players, but advanced players with reactive decks would shut those down handily.

On the broken cards that come out now and then, Type 2 is a necessary evil. It's not that the designers are bad. It's that Magic's metagame simply won't work if design flaws (which are inevitable with a game of such complexity, just because it's impossible to predict the exploits that thousands of players will discover) don't get scrubbed away a couple years after inception.

I also agree that the no-reprint policy around the Power 9 was politically motivated and wrong-headed. The way it should have been done is as follows:

1. Art will be changed with every reprinting. This way, you aren't screwing
collectors by reprinting coveted cards. They have a guarantee that
the card, in that form, will never reprint.
2. Overpowered cards will be reprinted but "pointed", i.e. each Mox
might be 4 points
and Black Lotus might be 5 and Time Walk might be 7. Every tournament
sets a point limit (or no limit) that applies to all decks submitted.
That way, the constraint is still a deck-construction constraint rather
than which 13-year-old has a rich daddy.
B/c the current system requires people to work to survive (for the most part), you have to look at where the jobs are shifting, more than the overall number of jobs being destroyed. Two areas of employment stand out -- the huge increase in administrative work (healthcare especially) and the huge rise in "scams", i.e. the number of people trying to sell worthless products over the phone, tv and internet.

Here is an example of the former http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/06/higher-ed-administr...

Speaking as a QEMU developer, I really don't like the coroutine use. They're a portability mess, they tend to expose bugs in dusty corners of the compiler, and they can be painful to debug around. I would much rather take a view that C is simply not a language with coroutines in it, and not try to retrofit them without explicit support from the compiler and runtime...

The pre-Arduino days were just expensive. I was using HC11 development boards quite a bit, and when I did something wrong, it would burn a hole in my pocket.

Also, good books or people who knew what they were doing were hard to come by. This went for software development too. A book would cost me $30-$50, a development board would cost $80, there were no reviews to know whether what I was buying was even worthwhile.

Kids these days have it really, really good. I'm jealous of them.
Oh no... please do not discourage providers from offering higher speeds.

I understand that that individual devices might not be able to take advantage of of such speeds. But remember that any household could have a number of devices using the internet at the same time.
> Costco membership fee is easily made back on the low prices we pay for toilet paper over a year

Kirkland Signature 2-Ply Bathroom Tissue, 425 Sheets costs $0.650 per roll at Costco.

http://www2.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?prodid=11751647&w...

Angel Soft Toilet Paper, 2-Ply, 396 Sheets costs $0.664 per roll at Walmart, no membership card required.

http://www.walmart.com/ip/Angel-Soft-Triple-Roll-Bathroom-Ti...

Adjusting for the difference in sheet count of 425 vs. 396, the Walmart product costs $0.06 more per roll than the Costco product.

So to pay for your $55 membership fee, you and your wife would need to consume about 917 rolls per year, 17.6 rolls per week.

That's 67 sheets of toilet paper every waking hour, assuming you sleep 8 hours each night.

I learned at the age of five or six to never make jokes about airplane safety - and that was 20 years prior to 9/11. Most adults in North America have enough common sense, particularly after 9/11, not to start mouthing off about endangering airplane security. It's like being humorous regarding the safety of the president - it's just one of those things that if you do it, you know are going to get a visit by the authorities, and, quite possibly, go to prison. There are certain topics around which you do not have absolute freedom to say whatever you want, particularly when you are in an airplane.

In this case, all the authorities did was interview him, and seize his electronics. My reading of the story is they didn't even charge him with a crime or put him in a cell. I don't find it surprising whatsoever that United Airlines does not want him flying on their planes.

What creates an obligation to display a page in a certain way?

It seems to me that the idea that sites are taking advantage of users tendency to use default settings has about equal footing with the idea that users are taking advantage of sites when they don't use default settings.

There's no need for a paywall to work around that ambiguity, just return different content to registered users (and explain up front that the page is provided in exchange for the user viewing the ads).

Like any relationship it works best when both sides have strengths that complement each other.

The nature of a mentor relationship is that the mentor has more experience. It doesn't mean they are more skilled in every way.

A specific example: I get questions from my mentors along the lines of "What's the state of X? Is it ready for prime time?" or "In Y, how does one typically do Z?" because they know I am actively involved in the community for X and Y.

It's amazing that you keep doing edits which are literally begging for an emotional response, but couldn't manage to take a few minutes to check your claims against the reality.
It also has the peripheral advantage of ensuring that you never carry a package for someone else, and that you are leery about carrying luggage/bags packed by someone else.
Kansas is what happens economically and socially when Republicans are completely in charge. No balance. They are throwing the book at this woman, and punishing her via her kid. That was their first and second course of action. And this particular batch of social conservatives get vindictive when they're made to look bad, so I'd expect her mistreatment to get worse before it gets better.
I suspect what's actually happening is that they are playing lowest-common-denominator music, which few people are thrilled by, but which more people are interested enough in to stay listening to.

Put differently, there are lots of people that might listen to Latin American music, and very few of us who listen to prog rock. Prog is actively repellent to ~90% of people.
Exchanges could but they definitely don't have a black list of dormant/fraudulent addresses somewhere.

These people could also tumble the bitcoins, where they convert it to an alt coin or other currency before converting back to a different address. That's how money launderers currently use bitcoin now and bypass the whole "public record" thing.
> In theory you can do that in Java too using sun.misc.Unsafe but nobody actually does.

You wouldn't believe how many libraries use sun.misc.Unsafe, which is why it is being considered as a public API in Java 9 (this is necessary because access to it will be restricted by the new module system). It's used by people building their own concurrency primitives (it offers direct access to memory fences), as well as by people doing low-latency, low-garbage processing (very common in the UK financial trading industry).

> .NET can do ahead of time compilation when an app is installed, whereas HotSpot cannot

Right, but all realtime JVMs offer AOT compilation (it's the usual tradeoff: slower code but more predictable), and even HotSpot may offer either AOT (less likely) or JIT caching (more likely) in Java 9.
AmEx is seen as the card for the well-off. They usually have stricter qualification requirements and are well-known to never issue another card to someone that discharges their AmEx in a bankruptcy. They have perks and reward programs that are attractive to the people who can qualify. They're seen as more exclusive, so restaurants that are trying to pander specifically to richer people may see it as an opportunity to bolster the impression that only other rich people eat there ("The clientele is so upscale here they don't even have to accept VISA!").
I also found the statements in the leading and final quotes almost absurdly contradictory. "Fuck you, I didn't choose this, but I love it."

Living in a city with a lot of visible homelessness and panhandling, I constantly struggle with what the right thing to do is. It seems like the only way to be sure you're helping is to only ever hand out food, or actually offer someone a place to stay. I used to hand out money when I had some on hand, but on reflection it seems irresponsible - what if that $5 is what ends their life by allowing them to OD or buy unsafe drugs? It could just as easily save their life by providing food or shelter, but by my reasoning it makes more sense to cut out the middleman.

Throwing into the mix that some people are choosing this lifestyle for reasons of "freedom" from society (while simultaneously depending heavily upon its existence and the generosity of others) just confuses the matter more for me.

If anyone has a good moral framework for this I'd be interested in hearing it.
Yep, that would be awesome. I bet a lot of them are behind auth walls, though.
In that case, I'd try enumerating all possible questions to tackle this problem (breadth first on question size).
Not to anyone who's watched it become axiomatic that musicians who expect to make money from their work are talentless hacks who should be pleased to work for free...

Musicians today have a much lower barrier to entry in making sure they earn money from their works, as they no longer need to sign in to contracts with record labels, but can sell and earn higher percentages as independents without the distribution costs and various IP terms that old school labels would have required from them - modulo the fees of payment processing and/or using a storefront service, of course.

It has always been the case that the bulk of a musician's profits come from live performances. But where back in the day one had to make the choice to be entrenched in the exclusiveness of labels, today you are free from that burden and the higher market saturation naturally leads to lower individual chances of huge successes.

But you can still make some money from recordings. Whereas before, the only thing you could hope for was earning a cult following off of tape trading or whatnot. Obviously without any financial compensation - the dime's entirely on you.
If Wikipedia is to be believed, HD radio can transmit up to 300kbps, which is more than enough for extremely high quality sound. If quality is worse it's because stations are choosing to trade off quality for more channels, not because the technology forces it.
Can you support this claim? I'm not skeptical so much as curious. How did people keep more or less consistent time back then?
There are three areas I am aware of where labor can absolutely compound (in terms of output): business, software, and learning.

> Perhaps, but what is the delta increase in zeal for their project.

From my personal experience, it can increase dramatically. This is across the board. Whether it is something I am actually interested in doing or just drudgery.

> But let's not suppose that a bad project or feckless employee is going to become the next google or Einstein because of a pill.

Of course not, but it can really help. People can also become psychologically/physically dependent on them as well -- they aren't without risks.
I've often wondered what "an order of magnitude" meant exactly.

The author defines it as 100% (larger, in this case). Is that correct?
Taking the question literally (having to spend the money in a year) that seems one of the best things one can do (one could even argue that is not spending, if half those getting the money put it in the bank), as it could lift many out of poverty.

Give me a decade and, maybe, some really useful projects might surface. Ten years of time and a trillion dollars might be enough to go to or maybe even start a colony on Mars, for instance (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_mission_to_Mars#Challen...), or to get rid of malaria.
Mountain of electrical waste reaches new peak
tl;dr version

He constructs a weird order on the rational numbers, and they play the game on that ordering. He also has steps for limit ordinals.

For example:

Cheryl: I have given each of you an ordinal. I didn't give both of you the same ordinal. Do you know if you have the smallest one?

Bob: I can't prove I have the smallest. (I.e., I don't have 0.)

Albert: With that information, I can't prove I have the smallest. (I.e., I don't have 1.)

Bob: I don't have 2.

Cheryl: You can go on forever without figuring out who has smaller.

Bob: I don't have the smallest. (I.e., I don't have omega.)

Albert: I don't have the smallest. (I.e., I don't have omega+1).

Cheryl: You can do this 100 times and it wouldn't help.

Bob: I don't have the smallest. (I.e., I don't have 100 * omega.)

Albert: I know I have the smallest now! (I.e., I have 100 * omega+1)

The weird ordering he places on the rational numbers is equivalent to playing this way with ordinals.

I always give cash if I have some on hand. Good odds they'll use it to buy a drink, which is fine because hell, I need a drink after a long day and I'm not even homeless. And there is a non-zero chance he or she really does need it to get food or get in from the cold for the night. Wouldn't want to risk not giving money when there was a genuine need because I'm worried about the case where there isn't.
Marijuana helps me concentrate though. It slows down my thoughts enough to let me process them. I would have gladly accepted this answer from him, but he refused to talk about it.

I live in a state where marijuana is highly illegal and having a prescription back up actually allows me to smoke less marijuana.

I typically only smoke at the end of the day when the methylphenidate is worn off and if a I take another I can't sleep.

I don't think that there is any real evidence that marijuana lessens the effects of methylphenidate (certainly no studies) or has any interaction with it at all.

The main thing I'm upset about is that there was no discussion allowed. He has no idea of what my usage habits are or why I use.

Do we need a new word for homeless then? When I think homeless I think the inability to find work, maintain work, or earn a living. This feels like a choice. The same feeling I got when I saw an able bodied young homeless person asking for organic dog food. That does not look like what I've come to associate with homelessness.
