Sure, but what about other costs. You can pick up a poloroid for about $50-75 on ebay. With this one, you will need to buy things like a 3D printer (and the necessary accessories, like filament), the rasperry pi, battery pack, printer, etc. Yes, the thermal paper is cheaper over all, but the cost will be a lot more up front, even if it work out over time. Don't get me wrong, this is a cool toy, but the title is definitely a bit off.

What I love about HN, is that its geek news. Is it possible to keep the Political BS off of here? Seriously, we get enough in the normal outlets, this is one of the places that I, for one, don't want to see it. If I want to hear about the BS from either side, I will turn on the TV.

Best part is that they even had a gofundme, which has subsequently been taken down. :)

I, for one, refuse to use snap. While I do admit It makes some things stupid easy to install, there are trade offs. First. The fact that it’s breaking things is bad. Second, for every snap install there is a ‘/loop/blah” entry in your did output. This is severely annoying and not needed IMHO. While breaking things is far worse, little annoyances have an effect. I will personally avoid snap and stick to installing things the way I always have.

I had ordered one of the other models early last year and it did take 2-3 months before I heard that it was shipping, and then it was another 2-3 weeks before it arrived. Their packaging was good enough to protect it, being in a plastic case. I have no issues with the one I have and, pending seeing other's experience with this new model, will definitely consider one of these. Be patient, that's all I can say.

I don't get why anyone is donating money to rebuild Notre Dame.

#1. The church has a plethoric abundance of money seeing as how it PAYS NO TAXES!!! #2. The timber needed to rebuild has been grown on the grounds of Versaille for over a century.

This rebuilding has been planned since the last time it was destroyed and had to be rebuilt, during the French Revolution. Ridiculous that people would throw away their money at something that was already planned for.

And to think, that post was 6 years ago.

I believe that because of all of the vulnerabilities in the Adobe Flash products, people should think of their computer's security first and give FedEx the preverbal virtual finger, and force them to recode their software to use html5 video instead. It is becoming the new standard and is (currently) safer than risking the vulnerabilities in Flash.

The link is already down with a 502 error. I guess they are using the one that isn't 40% better. :)

Nice cheat sheet, but just know that you will be forced to join the RedHat Developer network (free) if you want a copy of it.

To be honest, I expected a bit more from the site, considering its name. It is good, don't get me wrong, covering a lot of file formats, but you have limited it to things on your computer. For me, if it were an all inclusive wiki, you should expand it to include things like financial file formats. Banks tend to use formats like ach and edi (for example). Those formats are extensive and can get quite complicated, but their file specs are published and available. The site is a great start, but I would love to see it expanded to include anything file format related. Even having the most obscure formats will make the site more appealing to people as a reference. Sort of 'the place to go' for file formatting. Just my .02.

@0xexplorer is absolutely correct with both of those suggestions. You need to know where you account is being logged in from (if someone is trying) and setting up 2-factor auth won't allow someone with just the password in. Change your account password before switching to 2-factor auth. When you do, be sure you first have a q-code reader and google authenticator on your phone. This way you can turn on their code generator as part of the process. Unless you like texts of course, but its up to you.

That is nice and all, but it will still cost you $1500 for the 'MicroMaster' credential and then another $33K for the rest of the year long program. Still no chump change by any stretch.
