My only issue with othernet is, from what I've been able to tell, you only get to see what they determine you can see. In other words, they're shaping the perceptions for you, rather than giving you the raw data to decide for your

A wee bit of searching, and I managed to find a pretty good sized version[0] from a twitter account. There's another that has a close-up of the castle[1]. Side note: that castle looks a whole bunch like Hogwarts, or more accurately Ho

Driverless printing has been "the future" for over a decade now (I remember hearing much about it back in 2006 or so), and a concept for two decades. Microsoft first filed the patent back in 1999 [0]. The only thing that's

> Reservation is only $100 whereas the Model Y is $2500. This doesn't surprise me. The Cybertruck is going to be a harder sell than the Model Y, so they want to keep the barrier to entry much lower.

This was almost exactly the opinion given to me by a watchmaker about 10-11 years ago. He said that if you wanted one of the best, daily-wearable mechanical watches that wasn't going to be so expensive that you'd be afraid to wea

Some would say the problem is Californians fleeing the state, settling elsewhere...then creating the same problems that created California. It's not enough to physically move, there needs to be a change in mindset that goes along with
