Prusa has a customize build of Octoprint that addresses these problems. As long as you’re not using a webcam with it (and you can’t if it’s embedded anyway), it runs fine, if a bit slow.

One of my favorite things about the Prusa 3 series is that you can embed a Raspberry Pi Zero running OctoPrint in it - it fits right inside the power supply enclosure. Bam, you've got a networked Prusa with no external anything.

This is a very important point, thanks for saying this. It’s amazing how many people think they can start an indie SaaS and think that all they have to do is build it, deploy it, and buy AdWords or whatever. Talking to your customers is mor

This is an interesting line of thought, which I don't know if I agree with or not. It might be worth exploring the contrapositive: "If a piece of speech is tolerable to at least someone, then it shouldn't be censored."

To be fair, I come to HN because most posters here are in fact smarter than I am. One person’s toxin is another’s tonic.

Matt Stoller’s “Big” includes an interesting (though flawed) history of how anti-monopoly efforts have often been sacrificed for the good of the consumer. Which arguably was a short-term good.

To quote Thomas Frank, we have created a system that offers most people two choices: “toil without hope, or go to jail.”

Seems like there might be at least a cottage industry in small wearable devices that would foil this kind of thing. Though, extending this thought experiment a bit, if you asked the average shopper how much they would pay for such a device,

Much like Facebook, RH’s users are not its customers. RH’s actual customers are no doubt thrilled with what the company has done.

Agreed. Seems like a small intersection of users who would be genuinely inconvenienced by this.

It's telling that there are a number of commercially available Python libraries targeting enterprise customers for which the Python 3 version is free, but there's a hefty license fee for the Python 2 version. Maybe that's an

In 1983 a group of people actually did bomb the Senate, which seems much more severe than just a bunch of rednecks roaming the halls and yelling stuff. Democracy endured just fine.

It's something that Ibram Kendi has pushed back on: https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/26/anticapitalist-sponsore... . But he does not represent the Black community, despite the amount of media he gets.

I honestly think my mental and physical health are so much better than they should be at my age because I don't take work as seriously as my colleagues. Though, I'm fairly certain I've missed out on a few promotions.

Excellent comment. I'd say there are at least three possible answers to the question you pose at the end of it: 1. As another commenter replied, Big Tech will have to start charging market prices for their services. 2. Big Tech will b

Let’s not assume that one “side” is racist and the other isn’t. It’s both wrong and unproductive.

They are anything but countless. There’s a specific number of unarmed Black people who are killed each year by police. That number is typically less than 30.

I upvoted you because you’re right and I’m wrong, which is the most un-Reddit thing I’ll do all day.

Regarding products, I'd divide biotech into three very broad categories, medical, industrial, and food. Medical biotech is generally the most well-established, from Genentech (now Roche) on down to the companies being created today.

Let’s not ignore biotech. It’s experiencing a tremendous boom in SV (and in the Berkeley-Emeryville area). It gets way less attention than Tesla and Facebook, for some reason... probably because its products and innovations are much harder

Is it, though? Maybe there’s been some regression to the mean as the readership has grown, but Reddit is pretty much intolerable drivel these days. There’s no comparison. dang and his team have done some heroic work to keep a high quality

Probably a similar percentage as the people with drinking problems who will tell you to abstain.
