blender can create 3d printable STL files, so if we're "thinking Blender," then that implies we can 3d model for printing, if i understand what you're saying

you know, it's pretty damn incredible that we've sent little tiny space probes out of our solar system and they can still talk to us. sometimes i like imagining this tiny ball of circuits floating in space talking to its home plan

I'm sure they'll release video of it sooner or later. They not long ago release that montage of all their rocket failures. I'm a little disappointed too, but it was probably the right call by them to cut the feed.

honestly i think that was the biggest reason for its success. Blackberry was already a thing, but that big honking, clunky keyboard was just silly on a phone, and meant you had an exceptionally little amount of screen real estate. The devel

You can sign up now and be able to use a form of cloud quantum computing. I think to get actual access to the quantum computer, though, you have to explain what you want to use it for. So i'd imagine they are focusing on research proje

sounds like this is a process issue! EG, why data scientists and software engineers are both needed, and how they can work together to produce quality code which will produce quality data analysis

I mean, convenience has a cost/value. Moseying to your local retailer and walking out with a thing has value. Now, whether that's ~$194 of value, IDK. But like the original commenter, the thing I love about Best Buy (and other mor

Ok, so former reporter here. There are several 'criteria for newsworthiness'. One of them is novelty. Another is general public interest. And there is substantial general public interest in Tesla as a whole, since it is doing new

I don't disagree that nuclear non-proliferation is important. But I think the arguments you're using are kind of a bit of false logic. Essentially your argument boils down to "this thing X is hard to do safely. Therefore only

Lol. Gotta love that sexist, racist argument of "you don't understand because you're a white maaaaallle!"

What's really funny though, is that this was prompted by someone who seems to have been excellent at marketing, given her stellar reputation among the reddit userbase and universal praise from all of her AMA collaborators. I can't

My favorite part is this: """ Ms. Pao says a married colleague pressured her into an affair and then retaliated against her when she broke it off. When she complained, she says she was discriminated against and got poor revi

Yeah, but I don't even like shoes .... On a serious note, this does seem like a dumb idea. Why would you create a million corrective devices for the myriad objects in the real world. Why would you not rather create something small and

> The same is true of Apple when they ship a new app that does more. Presumably youre implying here that people who complain about their iphone being slow are the people who upgraded their OS while keeping their old hardware?

To further on your observations: it really didn't take all that much to play anyway. An imaginative and descriptive DM, a few enthusiastic players, some dice, general character info sheets, and some basic play rules. Granted the rulebo

Oh, I'm definitely not saying newspapers are hunky-dory. They obviously have plenty of challenges to overcome, and you're correct in that a whole slew of newspapers have shuttered their doors, and practically all have employed lay

So, disclaimer. Journalist turned web developer here. But I really don't think newspapers are going to go extinct, really ever. They are one of the only permanent records of history. Digital publications disappear like yesterday&#x27

you're correct. I'll try to find the source later, but this was exactly the case. Police would install the tracker or whatever, then tell the judge it came from a confidential source (the legal definition of which is a person). Me

e.g. "a confidential source" that we saw on here yesterday. in any case, it's good to see this decision. perhaps it's the beginning of the legal system recognizing that electronic data is private information and should b

I don't think electing any one person is going to have an effect. The problem is that at this point, it's systemic corruption at nearly all levels of government.

I'm not too sure. Netflix has one hell of a popular product. And that gives them leverage. The ISPs have a product too, but it's nowhere near as good as other countries around the world. When you have a popular product, you have c

Firstly, you don't have to experience something first hand to know about it. Secondly, my girlfriend is an immigrant, and she has no problems finding work. Her parents were immigrants too for that matter, and even owned their own busin

I haven't been able to read the article because it's not opening for me. But the headline sounds like a cheap shot on US immigration policies. But that's just idiocy. The US lets more immigrants in each year than any other co

I mean, I don't get all the fuss. One look at his twitter and it's pretty clear that he really doesn't care about being "tasteful." Was this just the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak? Because it&#
