The benefit of 3D printing is flexibility. If you’re going to print at scale to make up for time, you’ve left the realm of flexibility and are now in the world of mass production.

A lot of these companies are in the “the only reason it’s a good price is we are burning VC money” and “the only reason we have VC money is our promise to grow” zone. Customers can enjoy watching the slow motion train crash.

When I was a kid, I remember the Max my family owned have several different UIs you could enter in to. I think maybe the idea was that some of them were more kid friendly? When I saw those pictures in the article it took me back to that tim

I’m jealous, I’ve been jogging since May this year and 5 miles in 35 minutes is way faster than I can go. You could easily break a 20 minute 5k at that pace!

I kind of wonder how much of this is intrinsic to human behavior and how much is based on media cues from our formative years. It seems really easy: play the right music, say things ominously, flash pictures. The people producing these vide

The tech is great, but aren’t China and Russia deploying more standard replication deficient viruses as vaccines? I think the real development time boost we saw here was that it was easy to get volunteers and easy to test effectiveness due
