I totally get what you mean. For example, my wife got a 3d printer for me this past Christmas and OMG that was something that sent me to the rabbit hole like nothing before! So many things to learn about 3d printing and so many things to design and create.

ahah I am not asking for permission. I want to see if there is someone else who went through the same thing.

Today there were several threads on different social media platforms related to the number of patents filed by Bambu Lab, covering many aspects of 3d printing already existing and the subject of open source work

I am replying to my own post to share something that gives me some excitement. Nothing compared to the major revolutions I mentioned in my post, but definitely something that shows some potential.

AR - I was blown away by the AR comic book reader developed by VeVe for their NFT comic books. I still think that NFTs are lame (at least their current format), but being able to see through your iPhone an old comic book sitting right there on your table and flipping its pages was something magical. Never before I wanted so badly to have AR glasses with me and just being able to read a comic book collection in this way, without the need of my iPhone.

Robots - I was initially excited about the Amazon Echo, but I ended up using it only to set a timer when I cook. The new Amazon Astro is exciting. Way too expensive right now and I am just scared it might be a huge disappointment, but the idea of having a robot in my house that follows me, helps me, etc. sounds like super fun and very exciting.

This intrigues me. What would be the best device to explore VR now? Oculus Quest 2? Any new model coming out soon?

I wonder if this could be the same with hot yoga. I had a session yesterday for the first time, and I sweat like never before.

I don't understand why some people think they have a right to be distributed for free within the App Store. This store is something Apple created and I think it's fair that they decide who can join and how. If you are a developer and you don't like this, then develop your app for Android.

This is something similar to Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo asking for $$ from developers if they want to sell their games for these platforms.

The email provider approach is confusing. Superhuman costs way less and works with Gmail. No need to change email provider.

This was my same thought. We should understand the size of the problem and whether technology can help. If tech can’t help moderating, maybe tech can help in other ways. For example, establishing an anonymous unique internet ID that allows you to be online: if you get three strikes, your ID is suspended and you can’t spend time online for the duration of the suspension. Of course the system should be built so that you can’t bypass the one person-one ID and so that it’s completely anonymous. Also, the ID should not be transferable.

I think the comments here are mixing two different issues: information delivery and creators rewards.

For information delivery, RSS is great and the author of the article is right.

Creators reward is an issue that needs to be solved in any case. Ads help but you need a lot of traffic to make it worth it and they disrupt the reading experience.

Hopefully crypto and tipping will solve this, but I still need to see a good implementation of this.

What do you mean "games that don't exist"? Are these fake games, demo games or unreleased games?

After recent statements, I am surprised that the board has not decided to remove him, immediately.

I have been there several times. That place is magical.

I am still waiting for someone to introduce a Kindle-style device specifically designed for comic books. I am shocked that Comixology or Amazon have not done this yet. Using iPads and other tablets is not a good solution. These devices are too heavy, the consume too much energy, they are distracting with all the apps, notifications, etc.

You're right. I have been a spouse of an H1B holder and I could not do anything, not even volunteering or starting my own business. Before doing any of this, please get the assistance of an immigration lawyer. Doing something wrong under your current visa can jeopardize future visas you may receive one day.

When this kind of things happen, you should call a lawyer right away. When you are not free to leave, you are under arrest. When you are under arrest, officers should read your Miranda rights. Even if they don't read them, you have the right to counsel.

I wonder whether they obtained proper license to use a frame from "The Big Lebowski" for their internet meme

I like Tim's style and I think he needs some time to get adjusted to his role.

It's still not clear to me, after being an Apple user and fan since the beginning and after reading Steve Job's biography, how much innovation Steve really brought to Apple. What I mean is: was Steve really the one who gave the initial impulse for some of the most innovative products we have seen so far (i.e. iPhone, iPad, iPod, etc.)? In this case, I think that Apple is doomed.

If, on the contrary, Steve was the quality checker, the one pushing everyone else to do better, I think that the current Apple's executive team can properly replace this role and do good at Apple.

Thank you thank you thank you. I have to admit that HK News was a big inspiration to me. I have been following the startups world for several years and I have always been deeply fascinated by the idea of creating something new, shipping products, working on bug fixes, etc.

The spirit of these replies confirms my idea of this world, made of people passionate about their projects and willing to share this passion with other people.

Thanks again to each and every one of you.

Thank you so much for the very kind words and thanks for checking the website and giving me some feedback.

The general idea behind the website is to give users an opportunity to reach a big audience with their content. I already have about 400 users on the website's mailing list and I am trying to increase the number of pageviews on the home page. Let's say I can get at least 500/1000 visitors per day, this means that users posting their messages on Everythinker would know that their message - when it reaches the home page - would be read by 500/1000 users + 400 or more other users receiving the newsletter.

By providing pictures, I help users create good content.

What do you think about this idea?

I have been struggling with this project for a long time. I don't have coding skills and I tried to develop this idea by working together with friends with coding skills. This never worked and the teams I built in the past always failed to ship a definitive product.

I realized that I was "trapped" in a continuous need to mediate, compromise and discuss with these friends/team members for many reasons: split of shares of the project, lack of deep passion for the project, lack of knowledge of the current social network environment, etc. All the time, I spent 90% arguing with my friends/team members instead of working hard on realizing my vision.

After the last failure, I decided to give up but the desire to create something like this kept me from sleeping. I finally decided to work on my own, use tools that I master (such as wordpress with its thousands plug-ins, themes, etc.) and develop my vision.

Sure, I had to compromise on some of the things I would like to build and that wordpress does not allow you to do. But it is so much better to fly solo and be able to give life to your ideas and hopes. Just being able to finally ship Everythinker.com has been an enormous goal for me and I look forward to continuing building new features and adding new content.

Thanks in advance for any comment or feedback you may have!

Where did all that money go? How many employee did the company have?

I am very very curious to see what they will announce. Maybe they found the birth certificate of Obama or the tax returns of Romney...Mars seems to be the perfect place to hide such things ;-)

Fantastic app! Add a preload of pics and a real slide effect! Contact me, I had a similar idea with different content and we could build it together.

We have been working on everythinker.com for some weeks. The idea is that current blogging and social platforms do not really help users spread their content.

On everythinker.com, we guarantee an audience for whatever you write! The website is based on quid pro quo. Every time you read another user's message, you get 1 point. You can then use your points to post your own messages. The more points you use when you post a message, the more users will read your message.

We want to give voice to everyone.

The website is still in beta and we would deeeeeeeply appreciate any comment or suggestion you may have!

I love this idea and I have bookmarked your website. Well done, I will keep on checking your website!

Thanks a lot for the suggestion. I had the feeling that a full press release could have been seen as pretentious. We are focused on creating a useful product and we are not interested in getting coverage just for the sake of it. Much better, as you say, to send a personal email from the founders to these blogs. Thanks again!

Thanks a lot for the great advice. Our main goal right now is to get some users. The mechanics of our project work much better when we have a lot of users and we need to build a big user base first.

I loved your suggestion to go with smaller blogs and provide them with a description of the project ready to be published.

Thanks again and I'll keep you HN friends updated.

I am totally willing. I have tried to recruit someone on oDesk and other similar platforms but the experience has been bad so far.

Where are you guys located?
