$699 is an incredible price

there are products where you can re-melt and create filament for 3d printers or push it into a mold. Can probably build your own for $500 + a $500 3d printer.

1 million per piece. this is only for customers where price is not an issue.

I'm willing to bet most of that delay is shipping and most will wait a few days to save $100.

I hope these people form a group to develop software that directly competes with Microsoft or even make it free now that you have extra time. It'll keep your skills up and good for the resume.

But with the job market the way it is, they could re-hire at a lower compensation?

Including people they want to keep? What if all the people they wanted to keep accepted while those they didn't want to keep stayed? Certainly makes no sense.

Just compile for your specific hardware sort of like what Gentoo does. I don't want you continuously running a model - sort of defeats the purpose of performance gains.

thanks for the advertisement

Singapore does that called FirstDate. Korean incentives marriage with money and grants. But if I were you looking to date, I'd move to Asia.

Here's their biggest competitor: 3d print a stand, place iphone or ipad on it - greater functionality plus it's mobile! You're welcome.

always on recording means you are the product and they can train off of you and be even more embedded in your life.

"My kids are always stealing my iPad to run the Toybox 3D printer; this would be a great thing for them to use." Is it? Why not get them a iPad instead?

Yes they are. If opensource product A does not have better features than competing opensource product B, uses move to the better product A and pretty soon, almost nobody will use product B. Take BSD vs Linux for example. We get "we've migrated to BSD" or "we've migrated to Linux" posts all the time and arguments for one or the other. Is there a winner and loser? Yes. Larger communities, more developers, more corporate sponsors, more contributions, etc. Certainly looks like competition to me.

"The newspaper must be widely distributed in the area where the job is located." Which of these mega-crops are located in a small town?

I'm pretty happy with highlight text and copy to clipboard. Yes, it is part of clicking.

How many people would you allow them to kill?

In certain states, scheduling an appointment to see a doctor is >6 months out. If AI is able to take in your complaints, perhaps order some tests, triage and pass you to a doctor, that's a plus. Depending on the severity, not everybody needs to see a doctor. I appreciate what doctors do but most people can self-diagnose pretty well now but they are not able to get themselves tested which sucks. I'm happy to take my health into my own hands.

this is all about the money, nothing else. California will get more money out of citizens any way it can.

I keep reading positive comments about Pi but it never worked well for me. Hermes just worked.

you could just do a lot of reckless things at home with just a ladder. Heck, come to my home, I'll put couches in the trees for your.

so the comparison is pointless by their own admission

this is built by Arduino specifically to sell more Uno Q. You want them to start promoting clones? What product do you make and we'll promote clones of those too.

Adam Smith wrote about the invisible hand and let the free market run. What ended up happening?

just stop buying. you people buy way too much crap anyway

can they not break out of a VM?

the US lost all credibility. Nobody gives a fish about what the US says anymore. I bet their military is on par with Russia. Certainly the men in the US won't fight for a country that hates them.

I mean they are a billion dollar company? What did you expect?

learned it all from Microsoft
