This isn't just about NPR itself. They depend on local broadcast networks to reach their audience. How much does government grants influence the local stations? I know in my state, the majority of local public radio funding comes from

In the states, this is generally covered by fuel taxes. Older and heavier vehicles use more fuel, which generates more tax revenue. The model breaks down with EVs though, which is why some states have started to implement EV specific ad val

Large companies generally welcome strict regulation. While it will increase their cost of doing business, more importantly, it'll stifle competition.

Their prices are higher than prusa. It's cheaper to buy direct. The savings on shipping isn't enough to offset the cost. Prusa is pretty open about this. They purchased ps so they could get government contracts in the US. It wasn&

Being able to print pc isn't a gimmick. They point this out because it's one of the hardest filaments to print. PC isn't used a ton by hobbyists but it is extremely popular in industry.

Why are you comparing lidar and pressure advance? They arent related. Also, I thought the Bambu printers had pa in their firmware as well?

If this surprises you, I've got some bad news for you. Everyone does binning. Go buy 1000 5% resistors and test them. Instead of a normal distribution of tolerances, you'll find that there's an interesting trough around -2% t

There was a lot of really impressive tech in glass. Especially for 10 years ago. I have no doubt that with continued focus and funding, they could have build something truly impressive. Unfortunately, glass was a pet project of Sergey'

Yes it is. The government is just trying to get the data to stay within the US. TikTok only needs facilities here (and maybe some sort of air gap) to comply.

Why the downvotes? Is this not why fractional reserve banking exists? Please correct me if I'm wrong. Without it, the Fed would have very control over inflation/deflation. By the way, I'm not arguing against the Fed. I'm
