I'm sad to see this day arrive, even though the community knew the writing was on the wall. As the first truly affordable, mass market depth sensor, it was a shame it couldn't get a second life as a standalone product. It also loo

You'll find that Kinects are powering far more exhibits and retail art projects than you'd know.

Not the GP, but... Obviously cat sharing, but you'll have to find a way to take a margin from what was nominally a goodwill activity. Maybe you pay cat owners in cathours (pronounced cath-ours), and have a marketplace where people can

Interesting point! Given the tools we have now to analyze corpus, I bet you could track the birth of memes - especially with an eye towards the question you posed.

It is leakage from the weird inverted sexual landscape that MRAs and incel swim in - an internet in meme grown too large to contain. It also serves as a handy handle to insult someone's virility or manliness that fits better in a tweet

That 5% is critical though and part of the reason that Office is so hard to dislodge. For that 5% of users, that feature is critical. Stack up enough features and you can be unassailable.

If he held his opinion purely in the public sphere, I'd agree with you - but he posted it in an internal companywide manner that directly impacts how he'll be able to work with his coworkers. Being divisive at work isn't good

You can say whatever you want. You can be as loathsome or virtuous as you'd like on your own time and dime. But the moment what you say goes contrary to the shared expectations of the company you belong to or negatively impacts how bus

Interesting! We had looked into this before and found that it was difficult/impossible. I'm glad it exists!

Not legally. There are underground exchanges and black markets, etc. La Leche League can hook you up.

It is more like an unsecured loan with great lending terms and high likelyhood of default vs a donation.

While I agree with your conclusion in the small, Who else is working on it to take up the slack?

While not perfect, Sun Basket does much better than most - a large portion is recyclable/compostable.

Or the lawsuit could be viewed as an attempt to deter industrial espionage by a competitor within a hot field. Between these, which do you think is more likely?

Fancy molds with high tolerances require multiple iterations of making molds then destroying them. You can also find that parts are not able to be shot, usually before, but sometimes after making the mold. The texturing and cuts are expensi

There are a few things stacked on top of each other to make it happen, but this is a good start. Combine this with GPS information and you can roughly "place it in the world" and make sure it doesn't clip the ground plane. A
