EHANG, Maker Of Ghost Drone, Raises $10M Series A Led By GGV Capital
techcrunch.com/2014/12/30/ehang-seriesa/
Though the market is still in its early stages, drone startups are becoming increasingly popular among venture capital firms. One of the latest companies to benefit is EHANG, maker of Ghost Drone, which users can control by tilting their smartphones. The company announced today that it has raised a $10 million Series A led by GGV Capital, with participation from entrepreneurs Xiaoping Xu, the co-founder of ZhenFund; entrepreneur Nick Yang, former chief technology officer of Sohu; and early-stage startup fund PreAngel also participated.

(EHANG was a finalist at the TechCrunch/TechNode Beijing event’s startup competition in August.)

Tell HN: Overcoming burnout when brainstorming a startup
I've been trying to come up with that one great idea for a startup for years now, and lately had gotten to where I was totally burning out, as I felt that I was incapable of coming up with a great idea and acting on it.

I think I've found a temporary answer to keeping my motivation up. I started listening to new music (specifically, new dance/rap music), during my commute. I know that it sounds ridiculous, but I'm a lot more motivated than I was days ago, and have already come up with one great idea.

If you're stuck in a similar situation, try to fit something motivational, new, and different into your day to get the gears in your brain turning again.

How are non-tech people getting jobs?
HI everyone, I'm a 20-something student in the process of completing my Master's degree. Due to the pandemic, I wasn't able to afford continuing to live abroad and so I had to take a break from my course. I've been looking for jobs ever since - in startups and in labs (I was studying neuroscience).

I've been applying for all kinds of jobs as long as they're non-tech because I don't qualify. I totally understand my limitations - not having a developer or a programming background seriously reduces my chances of landing a job. I was still in training when I had to quit, so obviously my skillset is very specific to "lab" experience.

But a lot of labs aren't hiring people, so I'm left with few options. I also don't seem to qualify for customer care positions because I lack experience. My reasons for wanting a job are like many other people - I just want to get started somewhere and also be able to afford my monthly expenses. It's been 4 months since I started applying rigorously(expand to all kinds of jobs) and I'm running out of ideas and places to apply to. Does anyone have any suggestions/tips for me?

Thanks for reading, hope everyone is doing ok!
The Mighty Margin 
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/The-Shuffles-Mad-Margins-ATTs-Separation-Anxiety-and-Visions-of-an-899-iMac-66830.html
Apple's tiny, third-generation, 4GB iPod shuffle, according to iSuppli, has an equally diminutive bill of materials -- the research firm says components cost just US$21.77. With a retail price of $79, that gives the iPod shuffle a nice profit margin. Of course, the difference isn't all in the margin -- iSuppli doesn't factor in the costs of licensing fees, royalties, software, shipping, or other development and channel-related costs.

Blog chatter ranged widely over Apple's so-called profit margins and corporate coffers, as well as price drops and rises for the iPod shuffle, which have done as low as $49 before creeping back up to today's $79 -- all of which brings to mind other low-cost MP3 players.

"The original price point has always been $79. They cut the price after they had been on the market for a long time. Other MP3 players are crap, which is why they are $30," commented hillstones on the AppleInsider.com post on the subject.

So how much do other low-cost MP3 players cost to build, anyway? Has iSuppli bothered to teardown any others?

"With respect to other non-display MP3 players -- we haven't done any," Andrew Rassweiler, director and principal analyst of Teardown Services for iSuppli, told MacNewsWorld.

"We actually haven't done any other media players other than Apple products, since Apple is the main 'big' player in the space (media players). The rest of the industry is composed of countless smaller-player manufacturers, none of which, in our opinion, really were worth analyzing as an individual teardown," he explained.

"Other companies can build them as cheaply, if not cheaper, but the end products are not comparable," he added.

Ask HN: What to consider when open-sourcing my app?
https://github.com/blendmode/spendful-v2
First, an introduction: Spendful.com is a budgeting tool that lets you track your spending manually. The unique (maybe not?) thing it does is forecast your balance in the future to help you plan better. For those in the US, yes Mint.com is better for tracking spending - but I don't agree with linking bank accounts because that defeats the purpose of developing a habit of tracking where your money goes.

I've realised it isn't good enough to make it as a business in it's current state and I'm not able to give it the time that's required to improve it fast enough to keep up with others. There are ~11k signups so I know some people must find it useful. 7 people pay for premium even though there are no premium features (it did have a 60 day trial as of a month ago but I've since removed that restriction).

My question: What should I be considering when converting an app to be open source? I've made the repo public but I don't have any experience with open source (other than using it) or if this is even worth-while?

- Should the business model change to be free for everyone on the hosted version at spendful.com?
- How do I restrict the open-ness of it to just the code and not the brand, design e.t.c.?

My goal is to have people improve it with me, host their own or use the hosted option at Spendful.com.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also, if this is just a shit idea please let me know so I can stop wasting time on it :)
