The Snowball ships bare, without packing materials. You receive it, plug it in, transfer data / run code, and ship it.

Still, you're right that there's a logistic issue of physically locating, networking, and powering these devices.
Possibly, but it would've taken a lot longer to get there without the VC that demands continued growth. Fast followers might've hurt them sooner if they didn't have the resources to quickly iterate the product. It is interesting to examine the strategies by which you can stay small and focused in a tech hardware market — capital requirements make it difficult or at least slow to do without that fundraising millstone.

Laptops with an ethernet port filter would be great. They are going to be extinct.
Me and my girlfriend (we both really, really like cooking) do that with a lot of recipes that involve sugar. It does affect the texture, but I think it often improves the taste.

There are things that ought to be sugary (like thick syrups used for preserving), but most pastries, jams, jellies and deserts in general need surprisingly less sugar than recent cookbooks would imply. Adding just enough sugar to take the edge off of bitterness or sourness ends up being more rewarding than cramming everything full of sugar to the point where all you feel is something odd next to the sweetness.

From the rr site: Remember, you're debugging the recorded trace deterministically; not a live, nondeterministic execution. The replayed execution's address spaces, register contents, syscall data etc are exactly the same in every run.

Elm's debugger (and similar projects like the Pux debugger from PureScript-land) are live systems. They are replaying all events deterministically but you can edit your code, reload it and then replay the exact same series of events or toggle events on/off and see what the resulting state is. rr is super cool and I'm very glad it exists but it's a static analysis tool where the Elm debugger is almost REPL-like in terms of how you can play with things and see the results live.
> Tesla is probably well ahead on that game and Uber will either need to partner or buy an existing car company.

Tesla may have been working on it longer commercially, but Uber did poach a lot of expertise from Carnegie Mellon to get a head start:

If Tesla is ahead, it's not by much. Uber is already demonstrating (alpha-testing?) self-driving cars in Pittsburgh.

https://techcrunch.com/2016/09/14/1386711/

I'm not sure why Uber needs to be directly working with a car company, other than for better integration of the self-driving technology with the vehicle systems. However, they are currently working with Volvo:

A Closer Look at the Mazda RX-Vision
I don't disagree with your first paragraph, but boom/bust cycles existed before fiat money.
I grew up in Grand Rapids, two miles from Amway HQ. Working at the Amway factory (yes, there is [or was] a factory) was my first job after (dropping out of) college. A friend was the HQ tour guide for all the Silvers on their way to becoming Diamonds. He was hilarious.

It is an interesting cult. Never quite figured out the attraction; you're either the kind of person who likes / falls for MLM schemes or you aren't I think.
How long did it take to go from really silly and obviously impractical flying machine designs to working, practical ones?
> the guys at the top aren't getting rich from Amyway, they were getting rich from everyone buying tapes, books, and going to these conferences.

I've noticed the same about many of the super successful "entrepreneurs" who frequent places like /r/Entrepreneurship, various entrepreneurship blogs, and even sometimes here on HN. They get rich off of selling books, classes, access to "forums" [sic], and from referrals to their fellow "entrepreneurs", and not from any other entrepreneurial activity that they've done previously.
Why? A binary executable does not rely on the very fine details of the implementation of the OS heap manager, for example, while a dump necessarily would.

The key word in this title is "proposes". That's a strong signal that the article is political fluff.

Sure enough, read the text for actual information and you'll see that it's reporting on a press conference about a commission that issued a report. This, through the magic of journalism, turns into "Sweden".
It's true that you might win by forcing demands. Trade isn't a zero sum game and requires cooperation so achieving a favorable result via "war" is unlikely. I guess I didn't state it well but even if we "win" we are unlikely to be any better off.

The price is going to be some multiple on their revenue, I'd guess somewhere in the 4-6x range.

$20MM is enough to get investors ($7MM invested) off your back and let the acquisition go forward and there is plenty of opportunity for back-end deals where key players have an earn out not represented by the acquisition price.
> The US doesn't actually do anything with natural resources anymore

Sure it does, though sometimes in ways that most people don't recognize as doing that, because it doesn't look like 19th century factory production. E.g., Silicon Valley indirectly processes a variety of less-processed materials (e.g., the direct inputs the electricity generation process, among others) into valuable software (and software-enabled) products and services.
Erlang was built as a concurrent language for fault tolerance, not performance. The best example of a trade-off I can think of is the preemptive scheduling: Erlang switches between processes very often, which has a cost in performance but ensure the system stays responsive even if some tasks are doing intensive work (or even stuck in an infinite loop). Every function call, allocation, etc. increments a counter which is used to decide when a process is scheduled out, so that's significant overhead you pay to get a more predictable system.

Some other examples are live code loading, which means you can upgrade a system without restarting or interrupting it, the extensive tracing and statistics, etc. All these little things make it very nice to build and maintain a long-running service, but add up to make the VM slower. If you're doing batch jobs and have no realtime requirement, then the trade-off may not be so attractive.
The current tech "bubble" is not really a tech bubble - the craziness of the last 10 years is more a symptom of the greater economy than it is the tech start-up industry, and the changing balance is a good thing for the global economy overall, and probably, in the long run, start-ups.

Less money is flowing into tech because it's less appealing relative to the rest of the economy, not because tech is floundering, but because the rest of the economy is more stable.
Just to provide a counterpoint, I submitted a pretty simple Chrome extension 2 months ago and got 270 upvotes and around 2k visits to it's website. It ended up no. 6 for the day so almost made it in the daily newsletter. It was my first time submitting anything, was pretty much inactive before it and all the promotion I did at the time was tweeting to my 400 followers.
Does this mean Pebble watches will stop working? I wouldn't mind buying Pebble now, especially if they discount it, and use it. If I get 2 yrs out of it, it will be more then enough.

The entertainment industry in Canada receives tax incentives to encourage sustaining and sharing Canadian heritage & values, which would otherwise be lost due to the media juggernaut to the south. It is not always successful, but that is the intent.

I touch on this in another comment, but mostly because bio people do not understand math and therefore programming. Machine learning is light-years beyond them as a result. I'll give an example:

I was at an anesthesiology conference. Dr. Emery Brown is at Harvard and Mass. Gen. and has been triply elected to the Nat'l Academy in Eng., Medicine, and Biology (only 19 other people hold that record). Suffice to say, the guy is Smart with a capital S. He was talking about his new auto-anesthesia machine that records EEG on the head and them modulates the dosage of the anesthesia drugs to maintain or change the depth of anesthesia. It keeps you 'knocked out' better than any human can and will bring you 'back up' probably a lot better too (more testing is needed). Very basically, when knocked out for surgery, your entire brain rhythmically fires at ~11Hz. As you wake up, that rhythm deceases and goes away, the deeper you are, then your brain increases that rhythm. You measure that with the EEGs and filter out all the rest. So, to keep you knocked out, you increase the dosage when you see the rhythm slowing and decrease when you see the rhythm speeding up.

Anyone that has taken differential equations and the barest EE knows that the way to control that is with an Op-Amp circuit (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fb/Voltage_...). It is incredibly straightforward if you were even barely awake in those classes. You don't need something as complicated as Machine Learning to do it, you just use feedback.

Now, when the Q&A session started with Dr. Brown, it was a mad-house. The anesthesiologists and neuroscientists were just dumbfounded that a simple circuit like that could control the machine with total clarity and reliability. No explaining by a guy with that level of gravitas and a credential list longer than your arm could convince them that it would work. The phrase they kept coming up with was 'I'm not a math person'.

Ok, got it? These folks are brilliant in bio and neuro and surgery. Just flabbergastingly good. They can feel how much drug is needed for a baby that just got their arm ripped off in a car accident. But they will never understand the math and they do not trust it at all as a consequence.

So trying to say that Machine Learning is the pancea to this flood of data is like saying to Eskimos that to heat their houses they need to simply invent a nuclear reactor. It's never going to happen.
In the UK, taxi rates are regionally regulated, with local councils dictating the maximum fare (per mile, per minute waiting in traffic, etc). I thought this was fairly common (in first-world countries).

As a tourist flying into Sweden, it wouldn't have occurred to me that the fare would be unregulated, and that I would need to exercise caution when choosing a licenced taxi.
You can file amended tax returns for 3(?) years I think. I don't know how that works for capital losses though, I've only had to file amended returns for other types of deductions.
"he brogrammer -- the collar-popping, protein shake-slurping, Nerf gun-wielding dude cranking out code -- is the subject of a new video, out Thursday, from education nonprofit Girls Who Code and CollegeHumor."

Isn't this the type of stereotyping and generalizing we are trying to stop?
Thanks. A problem occurs when the market gets too thin. I've had all my long term gfs leave me for much older richer men. As a guy I'm confident that I will both get older and richer so I'll be fine. My greater concern is for the opposite effect on women and the gender dynamics in general.
I listed some of the benefits earlier in the thread. What I obviously can't do is prove it's better for native app development, because that depends on the developer.

Leidos | Houston, TX | Full-time | Onsite

I'm not involved in hiring for this position at all, but I'm posting it here because (a) it's one of the coolest jobs on the planet and (b) I want more HN people as my coworkers.

About my job: I work at NASA's Johnson Space Center in the Extravehicular Activity group involved with the International Space Station. People in our group are in charge of Extravehicular Activities (spacewalks)[0], such as this one [1][2] that I developed in September. This group plans on-orbit activities, trains astronauts to perform spacewalks (at the NBL [3] and other facilities), and assists astronauts with execution of missions from the Mission Control Center (MCC) [4]. In addition to working on projects that you get to see played out in space, you get to do things like SCUBA dive in the NBL and train in the spacesuit (EMU) [5] yourself.

See the official job posting here [6]. While not officially part of the job posting, having a software background would be awesome; there are huge portions of our jobs begging to be automated. For example, I've long wanted to improve EVA procedure building [7].
