Thanks for the correction, I missed the earlier announcement. Affiliates being a standard or not has nothing to do with it, anyhody that takes money out of the deposits will accellerate the process, and affiliates took a substantial portion

The whole thing hinges on how fast a players deposit can be converted in to rake. If 14% or less of the deposits ever made ends up being paid out then they're actually still in the black. It would require some insider knowledge to know how

If you haven't done so please read Singularity Sky by Charles Stross. It's the kind of book that opens your eyes to the kind of change that you are talking about. I think that you are basically talking about a post-singularity society, that

Fine, so cast it using the lost wax method and clean it up. There are literally a hundred different ways in which you could make this part for pennies and some of those methods would be much more rapid and much cheaper than 3D printing.

That's a good point. I do believe that to people that are a bit more handy with tools the change isn't nearly as large as you make it out to be. Making this part out of wood or plastic is a days work or less for a person that is moderately

No video but he did fire it, see page 2. It cracked on the 2nd round. Interesting enough, this was made of pine , which is just about the worst possible choice short of balsa.

You can't just print a metal part without some serious post processing to reach the desired strength, and even then you'll be hard pressed to come up with a part that is the same size and just as strong. Printing full metal parts is possi

This is not 'printing a gun', this is printing two passive parts that you could just as well have whittled from wood or cast or put together in a hundred different ways. The 'load bearing parts' of a gun are the barrel, the breech and the t

You can't simultaneously have an invite system and a huge marketing push. It's like pretending that you are classy and telling a lot of people that they are not part of the crowd you consider good enough to make it through the front door.

This is like the person that plays 'hard to get' for 15 years, then finds out everybody's taken. Windows of opportunity come and they go just as fast. Google+ had a chance, I think they've missed their connection.

TC Disrupt is as much or more about TC than it is about tech and startups. Techcrunch is spending an awful lot of editorial space, time and energy as well as reader attention on meta issues (ie TC itself). It's not surprising that TC Disrup
