He was supported by his family. I'm sure you understand that receiving support doesn't make mental illness disappear. And in the US, no one can force him to take meds unless it's proven in court that he is going to harm himself or others.


But if you are part-time, then you don't get employment benefits.


It has never been powerful compared to the price.


This is exactly Musk's behavior. He does shit like this on Twitter all the time.


It would be an easy suit. Especially since musk doubled down in a second tweet, saying he has evidence...


Microsoft Office Lens


Also Adobe Scan.


Neither has an easy markdown format that doesn't require fairly proprietary tools to convert to ascii. Plus I'm underwhelmed with the ux in general. But thanks anyway, glad to know more about the state of the art.


Yes- but if you make the part that is legally the gun yourself, it's fine.

Anyone is allowed to manufacture a gun, as long as they don't sell it. If you want to sell it, you'd need a license.


So it seems it was already fairly easy and legal to build and own a very high-quality firearm with general attention-grabbing features mentioned in the article? Not a legal advice or suggesting you should do so:

1. CNC the Remington 700 action: https://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb/gunsmithing/making-rem... . This is the hard part and would probably need a week of dedicated work...

2. Buy barrel, trigger and stock.

3. Everything mostly just fits into the action, so assembly is just like putting lego pieces together.


I've purchased unregulated 80% lower receivers (they're only legally "a gun" if more than 80% of the machining work is complete. At or below 80%, they're just considered a chunk of metal.) and machined them using nothing more than a woodworking router, a hand drill, a jig, and a vise in about 30-45 minutes.

The jig is the most expensive part, costing about $160 or so, but once you have it there's no wear parts and you can use the jig to build as many as you want.


You can still sell it. You just can't be producing guns for sale. There are limits to how many you can sell and when you can sell them, beyond which the federal government will presume that you are producing the guns for sale.


I doubt it. I'm a young guy with lots of gamer friends, and none of us are remotely interested in VR. It's clunky and unintuitive at the moment.

Business orders are likely driving the growth.


Your logic is "white men have some privileges, therefore white men have absolutely no prejudice against them and absolutely no problems in society". This is sexist, racist, bad logic.


If it contains the word "Rust" I automatically upvote

Please stop posting unsubstantive comments to Hacker News.


What was wrong with my comment? It's valid criticism of HN readers; it's perfectly substantive.


Cheap meta drama and overgeneralization is not substantive.


Sorry sir- I didn't mean to insult the Great State of YC. Hopefully my social credit won't go down too much. /s
