edit; I suppose I have to consider the factor of people printing out replacement parts that otherwise could not be replaced because of the costs of maintaining inventory/supply lines and having to replace entire products as a result.

a culture of repairing things and hacking... ain't that wonderful?

perhaps the thread should be renamed:
Gold collapsing, Bitcoin DOWN, Litecoin UP


yes, we know. you bought LTC ;|

hope you got good exit strategy

Actually don't own many litecoins.
I just see that the technical litecoin chart picture looks good and want to let people know.

Good. I'm always suspecting newsletter writers to frontrun their readership. I apologize if it doesn't apply.

So what do all you boys think about the impact of 3D printing on small business going forward?

Good for small business. Bad for the big boys.

Decentralization of production. Also individualization of products. It could be a huge change.

All these technologies (Internet, Bitcoin, Google Glass, 3D printing) tend to have a strong decentralizing effect overall, so from that general rule of thumb we should prime facie expect to see small business benefiting versus big business. I see no reason why that wouldn't happen and can think of plenty of use cases where small businesses would get a leg up through 3D printing, so all in all it looks very positive for small business.

I'm just trying to think of a better way for the users of this technology to be responsible for the social costs of increased plastics manufacturing for the relatively lower (and increasingly lower, I imagine) private costs. Will waiting to the point where the two lines start to converge, where it's cheaper to recycle plastics than it is to use raw materials, be too late for our environment?

This continuous spamming about LTC by you is both annoying and disappointing.

My guess is the S3052 is only reporting on Litecoin prices because the surveys from his user-base indicated that they want to hear more about it.

I still find it funny that people call LTC a scamcoin. What exactly is the "scam"?

Since litecoin is so similar to Bitcoin, by that logic then Bitcoin is a bigger scam right?

No?

lol so much failed logic on this forum.

Perhaps the "scam" is that if you bought it at $0.05 in January and it is now (5 months later) at $2.70. Making profit/money is a "scam". he he he he. If that is true. Please I want to be scammed some more!  Grin Grin Grin

Yea your right the strongest survive the system grows. Im a programmer myself so im ok but i do think we will see some drastic changes as we are om the hockey stick curve effect of many functions including money growth population water consumption oil consumption and some of these have hard limits. Gonna be interesting to see what direction we take.

I'm guessing a hot war employing bio-warfare.  I would expect the survivors to be a pretty typical cross-section rather than the 'strongest'.  In spite of automation, a majority of the population being roughly on par with the average of today is probably in the best interest of those who end up with the ability to manipulate their own chances for survival.  Pesky non-aligned folks (like us Bitcoiners) probably won't have a chance...unless there is hope of obtaining our secret keys or something I suppose, but that's a bit of a long-shot...

That said, I think that at least Oceania and Eurasia have plenty of carrying capacity left and are on a trajectory to preserve that for a good long time from the perspective of population growth.  So I would not be surprised if a genuine calamity were some distance out and/or triggered more by convenience and planning than specifically quest for nutrition.

China ain't gonna collapse as long as there are production business left in the western world to out-source. Give it another decade.

Right and wrong it takes time for a country to wither away esp one which is second biggest financially. However it will be outsourcing to us as long as there is incentive to do so. The minute that american govt outs a tax on china labour to the corporations then itnwill stop. How can they do this? When energu
costs allow them to compete internally as well as competitive exporting. Who wouldnt pay 5% extra for something made in usa or canada?

As energy becomes cheaper through innovation or politics the choice will become available to do so.

Exactly, energy is key and we are closer than ever to having enough for large scale automation.
Automation may have unitended consequences though.. Higher gdp but
also higher unemployment?

No, that is very much an intended consequence desired by the companies who implement it.  Mechanical labor is way cheaper and makes it possible to actually manufacture at home.

At least as far back as Adam Smith in 1776, (wage and price) deflation was identified as the outcome of leaps in technological progress.

If you depend on a job that can be automated, I would consider learning to be a mechanic, a programmer, or a hardware designer.

It sucks for those that are unable to be retrained, but when a society chases progress at all costs, this is the cost.

England didn't just go away, but others rose to squeeze out it's dominance.

Who benefits from dropping stocks and bonds?
