given how shit the MakerBot product line got after the Stratasys acquisition, I'm not in the least surprised. (Cleaning a clogged print-head on a MakerBot Mini voids the warranty).

That's not an especially compelling argument. The Top 10% hold more than 77% of the wealth in the United States [1, 2]. And are much more efficient at converting short-term income into long term wealth than the lower 90% [2]. [1] http

Berlin has a lot of vacant or underutilized housing stock compared to other cities. I expect we'll see gentrification like we've seen in NYC, but not SF, or Vancouver style housing booms. I.e. neighborhoods get popular and get e

Given that the patent followed a prototype, it has to in some way resemble the final tech. The fact remains that Ultrasound is not an efficient mode of energy transmission [1]. Wireless induction is almost certainly more efficient over the

The patent application[1] lists the transmission frequency as 40-60kHz, a high frequency. Humans typically hear up to around 20kHz, dogs 44kHz, cats 79kHz. Not Low frequencies. A directed, concentrated, high decibel volume, in the 40-60kHz
