I wholeheartedly agree: For any organization developing hardware, a 3D printer is a productivity and creativity boost that is hard to replicate otherwise. We have a quarter million dollar 3D printer at my work (a research lab) and getting u

Exactly what I thought. Given that 3D printing is a whole family of technologies, purchasing a DIY model of one type of 3D printing technology would be a waste of money (for me). Thanks to online services I can get 3D prints in all sorts of

Title seems to be misleading. The article body states that they are offering ad targeting using checkin information. Such an arrangement does not involve the sale of the checkin information, not even access to it.

One thing that's not clear in this story is if by "editor" she (and you too) mean the random anonymous stranger who happens to edit a Wikipedia entry, or someone with more privileges/authority on Wikipedia. Because if this is about random s

I agree with most of your second paragraph. The baseline requirements for immigration are the same almost everywhere. A side effect of that is that there are people today who practically live without immigration restrictions. If you are bor

I've been thinking about the idea of free migration for a while. Not in the context of eliminating poverty, but as the perfect implementation of democracy: Vote with your feet, go to wherever you like it best. If all immigration and emigrat

Minor comment on the domain name: "Appraptor" might confuse potential customers into thinking you are an iOS/Android developer. For most non-technical people (potential customers) "apps" are the things you get from the App Store. On the "hi

The idea is that you now go in and edit the status of this road from "under construction" to something more appropriate. The problem of course is that editing the map [1] is a lot more difficult than editing a Wikipedia page, which is why l

Reading this headline while sitting at Newark Airport, I wholeheartedly agree. An easy proxy for airport quality seems to be cleanliness and comfort of the bathrooms. In the US they usually are too small, there is no privacy and they are fr

One key difference over other payment processing sites is that Ribbon lets vendors be in any country of the world (as long as you have a Paypal account). Most similar services are very restrictive over which country you can be in is vendor.

You wrote this comment in multiple places, but it's wrong. All 3D printing services I am aware of accept OBJ. Many printer softwares accept it. In fact, as soon as you want to print in color, you have to move away from STL and OBJ would be

I was writing about grad school. Talking about my hobby projects that have been "in production for a while" would have been out of context. We can talk about those elsewhere if you want. Also note that this was about Mechanical Engineering.

I might be mistaken, but afaik H1-B is not a lottery, it's just simply capped which means you have to apply for it during the one week of the year when they are available (note: that's this week) [1]. And then it's not guaranteed but more
