- CliffStoll 6y agoWell, I think he's different in person...
- vermilingua 6y agoI wonder if the downvoters realise who they’re downvoting.
- Stratoscope 6y agoThey never do. And the person they are downvoting is much too polite to point it out!
- ValentineC 6y agoOh, hi! I remember seeing the above video one of the previous times the Klein bottle was submitted here, and telling myself that I definitely need to do an order and pickup the next time I'm in the Bay Area (it's around 8,500 miles from where I'm at). Hopefully that'll be possible once the pandemic passes!
- areoform 6y agoIf I say... buy a bottle from you would you autograph it for me? You’ve been elevated to the position of rockstar in my little corner of the world. It is only fitting for an autograph to follow. :)
- CliffStoll 6y agoI do sign those Kleinbots, although it kinda slows me down (it's hard to write with a sharpie on a compound curve). So order it a few days from now - when I have more free time - and tell me in the order comments. (at the moment, this Hacker News squib has resulted in a veritable tsunami of Klein bottle orders -- over a dozen -- and I'm getting kinda backlogged. Looks like I'll be working tonight & tomorrow. And it's my turn to wash the dishes tonight...)
- areoform 6y agoOof! That sounds tiring. I’ll hold off on ordering. :) I have a ton of questions though, is there some way to reach you? (I’ll wait to ask these too!)
- CliffStoll 6y agoSure - I'm Kleinbottle / a/ t' kleinbottle -dawt- com But again, I"m kinda buried in work right now. And I know way less than you think I do. (at least my wife tells me something like that...)
- jacobush 6y ago"One sided, at best"
- Stratoscope 6y agoEven better, order it a few days or weeks ago, before it hit HN! Then you will have a story you already told to your friends.
- 55555 6y agoThat mini forklift robot is the cutest thing I've seen in a while!
- 082349872349872 6y agoMany companies put a lot of effort into sales, because they are interested in a family of two-sided paths in the transaction space T, where one half-edge d : I -> T is a continuous function d from the unit interval I = [0,1] to T, representing delivery, and the other half-edge p : I* -> T is a continuous function p from the conjugate unit interval I* = [1,0] to T, representing payment. Somehow it feels fitting that ACME instead puts a lot of effort into carrying inventory, where the single half-edge, o, representing on-premises inventory, is the identity on T.
