Last year there were a couple features, but it was pretty limited. In the year since, I've added a ton more features, created desktop app and CLI. So it was a major overhaul since last time, which is why I posted it again
The HN rule is that a repost of a past submission is a dupe if it last had significant attention and discussion in the preceding 12 months.
The exception is that if it is a major upgrade, such that it is effectively a new/different product.
If this is the case, you need make it clear in your introduction post, how that is the case. You should reference the previous post ("Hey HN, we posted this project here a few months ago and at that time the state of the app was ___". Since then we've added ____, changed ____ and removed ____").
If you can write an intro like that and if the community agrees it's sufficiently changed, it can have some more front page time (because the discussion can be substantially different from what it was last time).
Right — curious how this company is truly doing anything different than Equifax? You’re still aggregating sensitive personal information and selling it to verifiers. What’s the long term plan to actually make a difference?
Outside of the atrocities related to the Syrian confict, the highlight of this story is really the affect that making expensive industrial grade technology like 3D printing accessible to a wider audience can have on how things are made.
I've seen similar stories from other 3D printing companies like Formlabs on healthcare related innovation that's been enabled by more accessible digital fabrication technology:
If you haven't had the chance to read one of Bunnie's hardware teardowns, you're missing out. His teardown of the Form 2 3D printer (https://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/?p=4641) is a great example of his work.
That's a nice description of the Form 2 3D printer. You don't see that grade of engineering from most startups. That Formlabs makes their own mirror galvanometers is impressive, but probably necessary. The off the shelf units are either low-precision ones for light shows, or small-volume scientific instrument components.
Suggestion – add Yelp ratings for destinations. I find myself taking long trips from point A to point B, and always feel like I'm missing out on things along the way. If I knew that the world's best coffee shop (according to Yelp) was just 4 minutes off my route, I'd love to stop.
