mircea_popescu: i can'
t for the life of me imagine those firms didn'
t throw him kickbacks under the table
cads: and didn'
t pop out due to a jam
cads: I don'
t know what caused the initial explosion but we thought we fixed it and it popped out again
diametric: Now I have spare PTC fittings, though I haven'
t had any jam issues.
diametric: I saw that, did you make sure the PTC teeth didn'
t break? Every time I've had that happen, PTC teeth broke and the whole fitting was weaker as a result.
diametric: But it won'
t cover all jams (such as popping the bowden tube and filament just freely spooling in the air)
punkman: cads, I wonder why there aren'
t more people working on adding servo/feedback loops on an extruder
punkman: oh never mind, I wasn'
t looking close enough
cads: and yeah, we still can'
t do bridging right
cads: I don'
t know anything other than bowden
punkman: I've been told bowden is a headache, but I wouldn'
t know
diametric: Theres a few that aren'
t, but most of them are since its a lot of weight to move around
cads: we don'
t want to build our next printer but we will, if we can'
t find a well engineered delta printer with heated build volume
[KS]: cads: my 0.02c - customers bring customers. start with the cheapskates and guess what your future customers will be ... it's very important you chose your "inital" group of customers carefully and that you don'
t hesistate to fire the ones you don'
t want. return customers are more valuable than one-offs.
punkman: cads, cool stuff, haven'
t had a chance to play with a delta bot. I've built a couple Prusas myself, calibration was kinda impossible though and I had better things to do, so I just got rid of them.
thestringpuller: As
T-Pain would say, "Whatever I send out homie I'm a make back. Put that on my Maybach"
cads: I don'
t want those minimal customers to sense that, lol
cads: getting discouraged by my interactions so far would seem to imply I've done everything under the sun and it didn'
t work, but that's not at all true
cads: I don'
t want clients that don'
t know how to do well for themselves, lol
cads: with the clients I feel like just talking to them about their designs and what it would take to make them makeable means they get expert input without paying a dime, and then they realize they can'
t afford the job and we're out half an hour worth of email correspondence time.
cads: Mats_cd03: I wouldn'
t bill more than two hours for converting a 2d drawing into a part, say with one round of revision for the client.
cads: we don'
t want to deal with small people because that kills our margins and forces us to deal with really bad 3d modelling.
punkman: cads, companies that develop products likely don'
t need you. better to target designers, wannabe inventors, marketers, etc
pankkake: apparently they don'
t want the price to be public
Apocalyptic: well afaik mircea hasn'
t called out stamp on trilema just yet
benkay: oh i can'
t prove anything, no worries :)
benkay: don'
t pollute test or master with your damn merge commits
bounce: ayup. but if you don'
t... you have more fires to put out. those aren'
t free either.
pankkake: I was fed up with having to fill overpromises I didn'
t make
pankkake: the issue is that you don'
t have to overpromise first
pankkake: my theory is that smart clients don'
t outsource anyways
pankkake: VanCleef: I don'
t think many have the funds for it
benkay: client ain'
t gonna pay for that
pankkake: anyway, with git you can rewrite commits etc., so perhaps you could have some sort of staging branch for those who don'
t understand git
benkay: VanCleef: don'
t even need a call center. just a few effective humans somewhere cheap.
pankkake: VanCleef: never happened and isn'
t open to business now
benkay: (open to argument on that one. i don'
t know anything anyways.)
benkay: but apparently people can'
t even email any more
benkay: i have a contractor whose hand needs to either be slapped or held, can'
t decide yet.
nubbins`: you'd probably get a better price from a local company, since they wouldn'
t have to ship the product to you
nubbins`: ...you can'
t wait for your girlfriend to lose twenty thousand dollars... so you can laugh at her?
drkow: my girlfriend had 20k burning a hole in her pocket and invested it at some bank last week, I can'
t wait for her to lose it so I can laugh
Namworld: If you don'
t mind living on an oil rig, yeah, I suppose.
nubbins`: one of those words didn'
t belong in that sentence
nubbins`: VanCleef: invest in your future, don'
t wait for someone else to do it :D
nubbins`: so put a time limit on your next message and wash your hands if they don'
t reply
jurov: everyone is so accustomed to scam that they don'
t even think of researching if we don'
t offer repayment
Namworld: TAT must be satisfied. But a few of my larger lenders are going to get pissed. At least I think so? They don'
t seem to ask/be in a hurry about it a lot.
mike_c: ThickAsThieves: you didn'
t know anything non-public about their financials?
Mats_cd03: what, you don'
t think hamsterdam (a la The Wired) would work?
nubbins`: everybody's happy except the poor people who aren'
t criminals!
diametric: nubbins`: Its even better because the crime rarely crosses the boundary of the block because the police and criminals have an informal pact. They don'
t mess with the gentrified areas, the police don'
t mess with their shitholes.
Namworld: Ideally you don'
t. Although I haven'
t had problem getting credit.
nubbins`: diametric: sure, except we don'
t really have black people here
Namworld: Speaking of life quality, by all estimates, I won'
t be lacking funds in the future. But as long as that's not a reality and is just on paper, my living standards are pretty low. Well according to local standards anyway.
Namworld: I got hit hard when I joined the forum. Didn'
t expect what I stumbled upon. It seems everyone are connected with sock puppets. Mostly artifices.
Namworld: The forum is like the street, don'
t invest lots of cash with anyone you meet with good sounding claims.
Namworld: The issue is people fail to realize Bitcoin isn'
t like banks, it's like cash for the digital space.
pankkake: so the study doesn'
t even even try to separate other factors (i.e. vegetarians being more physically active and health conscious, while non vegetarians includes mcdonalds eating couch potatoes)
VanCleef: i didn'
t even invest in neobee but just so sick and tired of all the scams all the time
mircea_popescu: CheckDavid are you trying to ask why isn'
t platinum a monetary metal ?
mircea_popescu: isn'
t bitcoin great tho ? it empowers me to literaly urinate all over their faces.
chetty: "but if it weren'
t for the trolls it appears that it could have still managed."
VanCleef: i heard he doesn'
t even have a daughter
mircea_popescu: wait. hadn'
t danny claimed that they had lost nothing on mtgox
mircea_popescu: Guest15829 classical scammer talk. "the scam would have been fine if it weren'
t for the evil interlopers fud"
mircea_popescu: o look at that, scott adams trying to kaching on things that are happening but he can'
t be bothered to understand
bounce: well, aren'
t they the drivers of the economy? so money raked in and tossed out is driving the economy, surely?
bounce: you're saying the us gov'
t *cannot possibly* learn?
mircea_popescu: wywialm it is not dumping the whole sector. even if mcdonald sold for free i wouldn'
t patronise them. i stll eat at good restaurants.
wywialm: have a look at education, for example - govt is permanently dumping the sector, there are no expectations to the reversal of the course and yet it doesn'
t manage to win the whole market
bounce: so I'll buy that as a vivid example of getting the right knowledge at the right place, but don'
t buy the form as a solve-all.
wywialm: bounce: i can'
t see any economic justification for things turning that way. The evolution of PT in Poland is a direct proof to the contrary - a few efficient contractors in the bigger cities and between them, successfully coping with ever-increasing regulation
mircea_popescu: (for the exotically curious : parliament passed a law, guy went on tv to say the law fucking sucks, president called in to say well why didn'
t you tell me! let's iron it out!". it was a sight, the whole thing. )
mircea_popescu: anyway, as technology frees more and more time, people can'
t resist the temptation to try and feel it with a delusion that they actually matter.
mircea_popescu: wywialm i know you aren'
t, but stating it for teh record.
mircea_popescu: we don'
t buy that in court, so why would we buy it otherwise.
wywialm: mircea_popescu: isn'
t it socialism and not keynesianism? afaik keynesianism is "the state is THE key economic driver of innovation, prosperity and social mobility" but only when there are aggregate demand defficiencies
jurov: wasn'
t benkay doing it?
mircea_popescu: zacm: so this is disconcerting to see the lemmings on bitcointalk cheer on us gov action against mpex people. bitcoin community must be eagerly anticipating govcoin i guess << i wouldn'
t read too much into the derpage of a coupla tards tbh.
antephialtic: i don'
t have any money in neo. its just annoying to see another implosion that makes bitcoin look stupid to the rest of the unenlightened population
antephialtic: he doesn'
t mention the actual debts of neo&bee
benkay: ya well it ain'
t about the beer
BingoBoingo: stompysteve: Who is to know that Neo Danny wasn'
t some orderly who stole coma Danny's identity
