Absolutely. No "experienced machinist" can reasonably make this part within spec. The time and cost for a CNC / operator / programming is exorbitant and simply beyond the reach of most people.
3D printing in this context allows for the fabrication of complex geometries that would be incredibly resource intensive otherwise.
You're correct in proposing that measurement techniques have enabled for this. But what good are the measurements if your tools do not allow for you to produce anything meaningful from the data?
Under PPACA, as of this year, there's something called "Guaranteed Issue", which means that if you offer an insurance plan at a particular rate, you have to give that rate to everyone, and accept anyone who will pay it. The only variables that can go into the rate calculation (AFAIK) are age, a community rating, and whether the applicant is a smoker.
She should get on her state's or the federal exchange and find a plan that includes her doctors. If she's seeing top flight specialists, that might be expensive, but it will be much cheaper than "$10-50K per incident".
I am surprised to be shilling for Obamacare, but there it is!
Well it's pretty obvious, isn't it? In order to prove that you were a patron, you can just provide a unique receipt. Yelp can be the anonymizer.
Of course, this requires so many additional layers of complexity (e.g. unique codes, local Yelp POS software, etc)that Yelp would never actually use it--it simply increases the barriers for writing a review. I guess the trick is in implementation. Maybe verifying purchases through transaction clearinghouses?
Yes, but your analogy is flawed. This is more akin to dumping extra cargo on an overloaded donkey because of its supposed utility.
When education rankings are already so poor, adding another layer to the compulsory curriculum complicates the mess even further.
What's more is that all of the school districts that are rushing to implement this first (like Chicago) all struggle with low results and inefficient, highly bureaucratic teaching. Something tells me that adding coding (while erroneously calling it "computer science" to make it sound grandiose) will only lead to further mediocrity, deterioration and a lot of kids coming out with false and butchered ideas of what programming entails.
It's not that teaching programming is bad, so much as trusting that the compulsory school system will get it right is laughable and a recipe for disaster. This has the potential to go very wrong, or even be ultimately useless if it's just entry-level procedural constructs being repeated ad nauseam.
The camp here appears to be divided between people who highly support it at all costs and people who criticize all aspects. I'm more leaning to the latter camp, quite frankly, but one thing we really should all be focusing on is what the hell will they be actually teaching. I have yet to see a conclusive answer.
No, it adds up. There are a lot more available workers than positions in SV.
The problem is finding good people. Good people that are a fit both technically and socially. Superstars get hired. That's it-- everybody wants a superstar.
If I'm a superstar, I don't need Google or Facebook or Amazon because I can start my own thing and/or join an up and coming startup and get a solid equity stake. That's the crux, and why the 'talent crunch' won't go away. It is self-imposed.
I agree it's not a very relevant problem that didn't affect too many people. Still, it shows a pretty lame bug (that is, if the Oracle folks did their job correctly). In 1997 it was already usual to offer updates through the internet.
I'm not totally positive, but I think it depends on the object. You'll need to tune the arrays of speakers such that they generate some kind of 3D interference pattern that perfectly matches whatever you're trying to image.
So as seen in the video, you can get a cool stepped pyramid shape (when the particles are thrown into the air), but you'll have to be pretty smart about what kinds of images you'll be able to display.
Can someone prove me wrong? I'm speaking at a very elementary wave/particle physics standpoint.
What other expectations for a DNS server do you have? If you do a lookup for example.com's A record, it's going to know that someone looked up the A record for example.com.
As I mention in a related comment, if you're worried about the NSA knowing what websites you visit, you must not use TCP/IP. TCP/IP has no provision for obscuring the source and destination of packets; you have to add that at another layer.
(To wax philosophical, it seems that we're outgrowing the Internet. Nobody was worried about protecting their browsing history from their ISP or the government when the Internet was designed, so when we start talking about "if you use XXX service, the NSA can find out", that's true of pretty much everything except for things specially designed to hide browsing history from the NSA. Even those can be suspected to be compromised, meaning you shouldn't even be here commenting if you're truly worried about what information a DNS server might collect from you.)
