Right, we aren't there yet, but that doesn't mean we can't get there.

Growing up we had an Adam computer in the 80's but we got rid of it and didn't have anything until years later when we purchased an Apple LC II. That's what we need–an Apple computer for 3D printing/CNC/Laser. The Shaper Origin is a great step forward, but it still requires specific skills, but I do think we will get there.

I'm super excited and bullish for manufacturing and I believe we are on the cusp of a manufacturing revolution. I believe we will get to a point in the next 100 years where many of our physical products are created at home, and instead of buying physical products, we will buy designs and "print" things at home. Distribution of physical goods will enjoy the same freedom the music in the 00's and video in the 10's enjoyed, with individuals being able to design and develop products and sell online without the logistics of distribution. Imagine being able to design a fork, spoon, and knife and sell it online for people to print out. Imagine being able to design a cup or a comb and offer it to people to print out.

3D Printers and CNCs are still marketed towards hobbyists and/or industry professionals similar to how computers were marketed in the early 80's. I believe in the next few years we will see the Personal Computer version of home manufacturing and a revolution will ensue.

Thank you. Would it correct to compare it to using cash in person, but online?

Maybe I'm just too old, but I just don't understand what stuff like this is saying:

> A mirrortable is a way to take a legally compliant cap table held in a system like Carta and mirror it on the blockchain. It consists of an on-chain smart contract and a bidirectional interface that syncs changes made on-chain to the off-chain cap table and vice versa. In this it is similar to a stablecoin, which similarly links an on-chain asset like USDC to a legally compliant set of off-chain USD bank accounts.

Thanks for the reply. Royal looks interesting, but I may be missing why an NFT is needed for this. Fractional ownership was existed for a long time before crypto. What does the part NFT provide?

Can you explain that more? I'm not familiar with Monero. What apps couldn't be made without it?

> the genuine and useful innovations that are now possible (yes, there are many)

Not trying to troll, but can you explain some of them? Not in the abstract, but in end-user/product terms.

> Apple continues to monopolize app distribution and in-app payment solutions for iPhones

Apple phones use Apple payment solutions and Apple's app store.

What is wrong with this?

Does DynamoDB give transactions, rollbacks, joins?

You are quite defensive and I’ve never said I didn’t trust Dan but you keep saying it.

Because you knew enough about HN that this conversation is “unproductive” doesn’t mean it is unproductive to others. My comment got a lot of upvotes. Maybe that means the knowledge you have isn’t as wide spread as you think it is.

Also I recommend you compare Dan’s responses in this thread to your own. A very different tone—one that is “more productive” than how you’ve chosen to respond.

My entire point was more information could a. Prevent these posts in the future and b. Help to others understand the dynamics when a post like this is made. What is wrong with this? Jeez... was my initial comment that offensive to you?

You are arguing the specifics of my comment and not the spirit of it. It’s not clear all the ways posts are modified and it isn’t clear who all knows all the ways posts are identified.

My comment was more about what are all the different ways post can be ranked higher/lower. I trust Dan that the two things I mentioned they don’t do, but is there anything else like keywords/hosts that if yc members knew would give them an edge.

I appreciate the response and the information!

Fwiw I think HN should be more forthcoming on how the ranking of yc co’s posts are ranked vs other posts. Are the ranked differently? Do the upvotes of yc members affect ranking more than other user’s upvotes?

> No, not the entire spec, but I glanced through the wiki page and a few tutorials to understand it.

Then how are you protecting yourself from “innocuous bugs” you mention without reading all of the spec?
