In America, pernicious, thin-skinned, militant P.C. is widespread. Seinfeld no longer plays American colleges because of it and Bill Mahar opines often as well.

In too many "retail" universities, there needs to be more fracturing of groupthink and expanding of thought and expression, not bikeshedding on edge-case, perceived "offense" to shout down a well-meaning and -intentioned joke.

Sad loss, one of the good ones.

Wealth brings power, power brings entitlement.

Data: Stanford prison and the rigged Monopoly / pretzels experiments.

Qualitatively:

- Dbag taking up the entire level ramp in the parking garage with his Tesla so no one else can pass in the opposite direction.

- Folks allergic to using turn signals, wasting everyone else's time and jeopardizing safety.

- Basically empty winter holiday collection containers in tech areas. (Stingy fuckers.)

- Could bitch on and on, but it's banally common in built-up areas.

Investments in companies mostly make money evaporate as a standard practice.

Large-scale investors gravitate towards big risk/big reward ventures which require significant capital because it's saves having to make a zillion angel-scale deals. Plus, it seems sexier with extra-awesome brownie points to go after something which may be r/evolutionary.

PS: Color was a snausage clusterfuck of dbag, hubris behaviors that ruined the team (and the venture). Hopefully, that elicited a corrective learning experience.

Budget and Auxiliaries alum here.

B&A is a boring-sounding organization which is the primary income sheet profit-center, which rakes in slightly more than tuition; SMC is balance sheet (aka investment) management.

Stanford is unlike most other universities in the fact that there is no pretense of firewalling business opportunity development from academic research. I think this pushes away some pure-research, money-is-evil people and attracts more entrepreneurial folks.

People whom get outside and actually examined "suspicious behavior" may be shocked to find normal, harmless people and that it was their own hobgoblins of their minds criminalizing people based on nothing more than their own fears, ignorance and prejudices, probably from watching too much TV and Hollywood movies rather than experiencing the real world.

Wow, this is incredibly stupid: conflating http and https with minor errors. It should show half a lock icon and half of a page icon, diagonally-split to indicate mixed/unsecured content. Globbing the two together creates false comfort and hides problems.

Read the article: looks like a light-curing printer, which prints 2 dimensions at a time instead of 1.

What kind of NT drivers (USB, Storage, what)? What kind of Linux kernel modules?

I've worked on storage drivers for Linux (2.6), Mac (10.6+ - 10.8) and Windows.

What like Nt vs Zw? Are you fucking serious? Do I need a badge and certification from you too, your majesty? You haven't proven you've done shit either, but it doesn't matter.

You don't have experience with xnu kexts (which make much more sense, at least more so than the Linux model), so I don't see how you can claim, broad pseudo-expert "opinion" on something you know nothing about.

Regardless, these three approaches are still irrelevant because they're critically flawed: granting transfinite trust to the kernel driver developer to not fuck up. A real microkernel model, only a process would likely crash. QNX runs on billions of devices, including now BlackBerry 10 since they acquired it: game, set, match.

That's the boat you've missed trying to go off into the weeds and make it a personal attack, because you have nothing.

The two current biggest issues with thermoplastic 3D printers are:

- electricity usage: heating a baseplate, feed head and mechanical effort of moving a massive apparatus bazillion^3 times.

- speed (or lack thereof) of moving one or two heads those bz^3 times to get anything made

We're still in the "horse-and-buggy"-days of distributed manufacturing, so one approach or another will eventually find something scalable, Edison-style. More inventions and approaches are definitely a good-thing.
