I use a Shapeoko XXL 3 and 4 and I have a HDM on the way. The 5 Pro and migration to ballscrews for X and Y instead of belts for their more affordable machines looks great. Wanted to first say this is a great resource and I’ll be constantly

Something has changed. Could be an indication of a serious underlying medical condition or nothing at all. Go get checked out.

Brilliant! I use the iPhone for my purposes because it’s waterproof. At least the newer models are. Have dropped it in deep water with no ill effects.

I have a theory that it’s also related to heat. Try drinking a pot of coffee in a hot tub if you can find one, set to a high temp. It’s quite the creative experience.

It’s worse. They’ll try to get recurring revenue from what should be a one-off expense for the customer. You’ll be offered personalized coaching. They’ll partner with one of those dieting companies that wants to replace your groceries. God

I did a lot of public thinking as a budding entrepreneur, mostly on my blog, and I got a lot of traction thanks to this community. I found it helped test my assumptions, made me hold my thinking to a far higher standard, forced me to resear

Casio has leveraged the love for the G-Shock with watches like the $4,000 MRGB5000BA-1 as others in that line. Keep in mind that the Casio brand sells everything from instruments to label printers and calculators, which presents a challenge

I'm a big fan of the F105W which is basically the same watch with a vastly improved backlight that lights up the whole LCD. It makes a great watch extremely usable at night. I'd also recommend the Casio G-Shock GWM5610 which admit

Disagree on a few counts in no particular order. Climate: Big oil is back as Exxon and Chevron record record profits and plan share buybacks for the next 5 years with their cash firehose. This reflects the reality that just 4% of car produc

It’s super helpful and intuitive when you’re flying. Took me a while to get the compass visualized in my head but now if I’m making a visual approach and they give me a runway I can look at my current magnetic heading on my heading indicato

No financials in the article. None available of course because it’s private. My guess is it’s loss making and debt just got a whole lot more expensive. If I was the owner I’d be looking to unload B&N fast and focus on my investments wit

It's pump and dump with a fresh coat of paint. In 2005 I ran WorkZoo (a job search that competed with Indeed) and we were hot stuff just after Google's IPO. Vertical search was going to be the 'next big thing'. We had a

Lived through that working for eToys.com. The tide continues to go out and will be for at least 36 months I'd say. Fun times ahead.

The risk of a snake eating it's own tail i.e. company invests in another who has to become a customer as part of the deal. Microsoft just did this recently IIRC with Azure - I forget which company. If the biz fails you lose your invest

It lets WeChat see tokens that GitHub forwards to them. What they do with it is up to them, but the intent is that they mitigate the issue. “GitHub will forward access tokens found in public repositories to Tencent WeChat, who will notify a

So leave. Not sarcasm - I’m hoping to provoke self analysis. How much of a hold does Twitter have on us? On me? On my company? These are things I’m thinking about. Let’s assume Musk is a rational market participant making rational choices b

One thing you can take away is the resilience of a network effect. Twitter as an application is laughably easy to build. But it's very hard to kill thanks to the massive audience and the individual connections. The only way Twitter wil

Not really. You can’t buy one at the stores - massive scarcity. And the grey market have appreciation priced in. Grey prices have dropped significantly in the past few months. The crypto bubble in watches has burst.

Wealth signaling and its effects are rather depressing. People going into debt to buy a Rolex and a sports car to create the illusion of success is bad enough. Someone falling for an individual mismanaging their own finances to create a lie

“The American illustrator Ralph McQuarrie and British sculptor Brian Muir are the two guys who made this character design in 1976 for the Episode IV of this famous space saga.” Minor nit. At the time of writing, Lucas had no intention of ma

Make sure you sniff Beyond before eating it. I had Beyond mince that was a couple days away from the sell by date almost knock me off my feet when I opened the pack. It doesn’t go off like meat does. It smells like hydrogen sulfide.

Just a minor nit. Mechanical engineering ain’t additive manufacturing. And CAM isn’t mechanical engineering. Also 3D printing and CNC, which creates far stronger parts, are quite different. CNCing ferrous and non ferrous metal is quite chal

I worked at the beeb around 2003 and built a very high traffic Perl application for Radio 1 called OneMusic to launch unsigned bands. It was interactive, not static, hit MySQL directly and blazingly fast. Was a huge success using existing l

This is the right question. Are people in his situation ever set free? What is the most common way this occurs? We can’t invade Iran. Do they ever bow to social pressure of any kind? Is there some other form of pressure or influence that ca

Will be interesting to see how this capability unfolds. They’ve proven this can be done using an instrument not even designed for the task. A specialized instrument may be able to detect other greenhouse emissions. Imagine the kind of high

No. I've found that an individual investor betting against a highly incentivized and much larger group of people in a corporation or a government is a bad idea. I short by sitting it out.
