Re: Exageration
3D printing in metals isn't a consumer device yet because of the costs and dangers (melting metals by lasers isn't something you typically do in your basement or garage). But some companies are doing it.

Re: Exageration
Imagine the costs for 3D printing metals! Plastic 3D printing should get cheaper someday, depending on the plastics. But metallic sintering or whatever is needed for 3D printing metals... isn't going to be cheap for a looong time.

Re: Exageration
@mhhf1ve  most people  I know with 3D printer, wait for Amazon price errors/clerance on unwanted/unsold colors, or durng stores closer/clearout sales to buy plastic wire... other way is just too much - to use 3D printing...

Re: Exageration
Heh. If you think the cost of Inkjet printer ink is expensive... the filament costs for 3D printing may be a big barrier for mass market adoption..

Reliability
> "Today a large portion of consumers have the speed they want -- they can stream all the video they want. They want reliability," Are customers (young or old) willing to pay more for reliability? I think a bit more for wireless ISPs with better coverage, but fixed broadband may not be able to get extra revenue from better reliability..?

If only AI could figure out a way to ship physical goods faster for cheap... maybe when robots can build everything on demand..

Re: Exageration
Those 45day shipments are usually pretty cheap... since they're sailing across the pacific from China... someday on a fully autonomous ship!
