Hybrid prints of ninjaflex and ABS are pretty unique and hard to achieve similar final products even with some clever assembly and forethought. It's just not possible to build certain types of rigid prints with flexible components unless you use a dual extrusion printer.
This is probably what a lot of people will try to do, which will lead to further drops in price.
I wouldn't be surprised to see prices break the 1y low at this point.
Having moved from the UK to the US, I lost access to everything I'd purchased when I updated my billing details (no longer having a working UK credit card).
All Apple support could do was give me a list of the software/music I was missing, I presume to make re-purchasing easier.
I'm not saying that it isn't malicious. I just don't think it's wise to jump to that conclusion straight away.
I can't imagine they'll want to spin up new machines, so it makes sense to throttle/limit/block.
Not sure I'd immediately jump to malice here.
That said, if you buy a Garmin or similar heart tracker watch, they package it with a Heart Rate monitor transmitter you strap around your chest. Garmin would love to be able to cut costs and keep everything in one piece of hardware, but the prosumer crowd who buy this hardware for Triathlons etc would be furious if the product was inaccurate.
I know there must be more to the plan (in addition to divide and conquer), can't wait to see what's in the works.
This seems like it has a lot of overlap with the functionality of their edgerouter product, so I just don't see where this fits in.
All in, gas, insurance, car payment and parking spot we were spending over $900 a month on unavoidable monthly costs, at times this number would also go up based on using the car to get around the city and having to pay $10-40 to park the car at wherever we were going.
Add it all up and that same money can buy a lot of Uber/Lyft/Zipcar at 90% of the convenience. I've yet to see how much we'll spend monthly on various transportation services but so far it looks like we'll be saving close to $400/m.
They have a markdown editor, similar to the one github offers, but have a few extra features to deal with Jekyll specific stuff like drafts, image uploading and a distraction free writing mode.
Was built by a co-worker of mine (ontop of slate). Pretty great set of defaults.

The 330MH/s miners were profitable if you bought them a few months ago but with the rising difficulty of the network, they don't seem likely to break even.
A more likely profitable venture would be to use the same money and buy into bitcoins. Secure your wallet and sit on it in hopes the price rises.
Basically a set of sane defaults (slate really isn't that powerful out of the box unless you really dig deep into the undocumented config files). I started using it and haven't looked back since. I can move windows to almost any size I want and send them to other monitors. My only want would be a keybind to send to another space, but OS X doesn't really expose any clean way of doing that.
We are looking for true generalists. Yes, some of our work is in Python and Django, but we also have to work with embedded device C code, internal APIs for client applications, networking and firewall configuration and at times even finding and working around the occasional kernel panic. Silly kernel, everything is going to be OK. You are;
* A Polyglot Programmer. Contribute all up and down the stack, from JavaScript and Python to C and shell scripting, from traditional MVC web development down to TCP/IP, DNS and iptables.
* Autodidactic. Learning is fun. Prepare to do a lot of it. We have way more components than team members and we intend to keep it that way.
* Autonomous. Be comfortable working with minimal oversight. We don’t have any PMs and we don’t plan to hire any for quite some time. Downside: you don’t get a spec. Upside: you don’t get a spec.
* Product-focused. Understand and appreciate the human-facing side of the business. You are comfortable thinking through what needs to be prioritized next and how that affects our customers.
* Attentive to Detail. You know when to git merge and when to git rebase, and it makes a difference (nobody likes a messy commit history). Your code feels obvious in retrospect. You take pride in your work.
* Test-Friendly. The best way to make sure we're creating value for our users is to make sure our changes don't break things.

We're a well funded 14 month old startup just starting to poke our heads out of stealth mode. We're reimagining what internet access looks like in the modern world. We've proven and prototyped a lot of the necessary components. They work.

I don't think anyone is against doing something that could potentially save lives -- but I've never seen any evidence to support the current status quo and the number of these types of articles is growing. If there were credible proof of disturbance why isn't it being brought out to counter this debate? This is too big a potential PR problem for the FAA to not try to convince us they're just looking out for our best interests.
As long as they pay the invoice, most people at that point will waive the late fee (providing it's not a very large sum of money as would be the case with the suggested 10% per week). I know I've done this in the past when a client has called me up after weeks of nagging and apologised for the late payment and the lack of a fee.
