You find this one example hard to believe because you have several sort of counterexamples? Weak.

Sherline still has new ones.

Mine just worked. Couldn't be happier with it.

No, that's not the "definition".

Maybe it's like bacon in the same way that spaghetti squash is like spaghetti? (Shape only)

And, unsurprisingly, the video also includes speaking where the head of the company says that.

Read the first few sentences. If you don't like it, stop reading. Stop being concerned about the provenance. In a year, you won't be able to tell that AI wrote it.

I'm not really disagreeing but people who grind their own mirrors might have the same feeling about people who buy a conventional telescope.

The same way you avoid a too-long article in the New Yorker.

Because you think you're always going to be able to tell the difference between AI writing and human writing? That's WILD!

How is this criticism not just ad hominem slop? You could have said "It's way too long and verbose for what it's trying to say". The writer is orthogonal.

The rolling luggage is primarily useful in the vicinity of airports. Inside airports there were no curbs. And I don't think people are going on long journeys through downtown areas with their luggage. I think you have a better argument asserting that rolling bags were facilitated by cheap polyurethane skate wheels.

Really? Both strollers and wheels on luggage are pretty nice to have even if you have to somehow negotiate curbs. So, I think it is a coincidence.

You should try Nerd Clusters!

If you think the solution to the world's ills is to organize businesses as non-profits, you're delusional.

Shooting the messenger usually works.

Your example is an edge case. Presumably sick people were once healthy. When people are spending their own money, they become a lot more discriminating.

Also, if you're looking for treatment after you're sick, that's not health insurance.

Fix the principal/agent problem by decoupling health insurance from employment by not having health insurance be paid for with pre-tax dollars.

There is some skepticism about the veracity of this. Of course, be skeptical of the skepticism.

Gonna want this in steps.

It meets none of HN's guidelines.

Why do you think other people want to hear you practicing songs that you're not good at? I'm imagining someone trying to learn the recorder by the campfire.

Turning off Javascript helps.

Interesting. Though maybe not so surprising that "multi-primary color display technology ... was presented as a key direction for the next-generation display industry" at the “Multi Primary Color Display Ecosystem Conference”.

> I can go out into the woods behind my house and get into the iron age in a few days

Seems pretty optimistic based on the Primitive Technology videos.

> I doubt that even in a world with all direct payments that they would pass any savings along to the consumer.

Shouldn't you think that about every way companies save money? And yet they do compete on price.

John Plant has been working to get to the Iron Age for eleven years, but he's doing it for the lulz.
