Do you have a source or a specific reason to comparing to Morocco? I was there in 2015. The trains were in pretty rough shape, on one of the trains the toilet was damaged and you could see the train tracks... I don't remember any other specifics, but overall the transportation was a bit rough. That being said, I don't know much about the quality of transportation in America outside of the east coast.

This is so cool! And it's from 2013, thats amazing. A very similar printing method is being explored by MIT's Self Assembly lab, I think they first published in 2017 - https://selfassemblylab.mit.edu/rapid-liquid-printing https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/full/10.1089/3dp.2017.0037

The old MIT leglab website is still live and hosted by csail. Wayback machine has oldest capture back in 1996. I checked a few of the images of the older robots and wayback machine shows the links were unchanged since96. http://www.ai.mit.edu/projects/leglab/ https://web.archive.org/web/20210126053221/http://www.ai.mit...

It's hard to tell. In the 2016 primaries Trump had 44% of the vote. That's a lot, and it's more than the other candidates, but its not a majority of the total vote. In the earlier primaries he most of his victories were in the 30's. So now you have to guess where he ranked for the 60-70% of people that voted for other people in early primaries. He might have still won, or other candidates could have emerged with majorities. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Results_of_the_2016_Republican...

[edit] I guess that doesn't really answer your question, because you asked about this election...

amjaeger — Fri, 05 Apr 2019 19:47:11 +0000

Octave looks really cool, I am not familiar with it. Like I said, gibbon is open source, so you could attempt to port it. I didn't write gibbon, so I have no idea what the dependencies are like. But I imagine it would not be trivial.

If you get an mri or ct scan you can use this package to segment the bones and the convert the image slices to 3D geometry. https://www.gibboncode.org/ It’s open source, but uses matlab which is not free if you are not at a university. It will also take a while...

I order material cartridges for my lab's Stratasys Connex 500. There are a lot of different materials at a lot of different pricepoints... but generally $125 - $250/kg of material. I would expect HP to price in that range.

New comment by amjaeger in "Ask HN: How Much Alcohol/Coffee Do You Drink?"

amjaeger — Sat, 20 May 2017 03:31:46 +0000

0-3 cups of coffee per day (with 3 being rare) 3-16 drinks/2 weeks. I just graduated so that number was even higher cause of celebrations, but it was usually pretty low.

I wish there were more comments here, would be a cool survey for HN

I'm sure the majority of the article is valid, but Apple's stock skyrocketed after Job's death. I'm sure it's an outlier but kind of wish that had been acknowledged given the image used.
