Don't forget about the commercial real estate bubble pop, and potentially a massive pump in prices of family homes as a result. I think that investors are going to be moving their money out of commercial real estate, and into residenti

Ahh, no? I just used the New York Times and an example because it is by far the most popular newspaper in the country. It’s relevant to this post because they obviously won a bunch of awards, as the usually do. News and quality of news ha

How could you design a fitness function for news to ensure that it was accurate? Papers like The Financial Times have an obvious one: people are using these to inform themselves about business and investment. If FT was giving inaccurate da

A good teacher finds the kernel of knowledge at the center of something, and teaches you that so that you can synthesize/derive the rest of it. Doing that isn't easy, and it generally requires a very rich understanding of the do

It was too expensive. That's why it failed. This doesn't seem that complicated. It was a really cool product. If it was $300 instead of $2300 I would have bought one.

It sounds like federal agencies are stepping in to investigate and prevent price gouging. Good. That is their job. If this wasn't happening, there would be even less PPE available for hospitals. Of course when you are talking abo

This is weird to hear because there are several competing clinics in Phoenix all offering antibody testing.

That is really great to know and will likely result in me re activating my YouTube red (premium? Whatever it’s called now) account.

The interest in "privacy" around contact tracing seems like a ship that sailed a long time ago to me. Verizon etc all already have this data, and it isn't "private", and so does uber, lyft, and every other overly-a

It's a failure of our eduction system, but it's also a complete failure of traditional media. My guess is that it is because most major traditional media outlets are national entities. It's easier for those national media en

This is all great in theory, but in reality there are hundreds of thousands of these parts being delivered to hospitals right now, and they came from lots of people with lots of 3D printers at their houses, hackerspaces, and printer farms.

The 3D model absolutely can scale.

by blhack 6y ago
Because it turns out you actually can 3D print some of these in mass quantities. Some of the printers we are working with right now are producing on the order of 10s of thousands of parts per day. And now, there are tool shops in the US

It’s interesting that this doesn’t include a top cover to prevent particulates from coming down from above the shield. We are working with several major hospital groups and that is something they have asked for specifically. Actually they

We’ve been running “dial up dance parties” in Phoenix for the last few weeks. A DJ streams music to a zoom hangout, and people dance in front of their camera. The magic bit is that there is a new curation job beyond djing: curating who is
