Cannot explain how much this excites me... but can somebody familiar with the matter please elaborate on the economics of this? How, exactly, do they intend to make money?

I was under the impression (from previous articles) that the raw minerals from the asteroids were worth tens or hundreds of thousands $$, while the process of bringing them to Earth would be orders of magnitude higher (millions or billions). Wouldn't it be more economical to use the materials for space ventures/stations/etc? Or are the asteroids composed of some high value materials that can be hugely profitable?

Edit: this is not to say that the venture isn't utterly amazing - but there does seem to be quite a bit of focus on profit, and that confuses me.

I think this is the penalty we pay for the advice from two years ago:

"Buy all your developers SSDs. It makes them more productive."
That is true, but I think it is good to educate people to spot common mistakes that are made during arguments.

For example I often see people winning casual arguments by overusing emotive language , belittling the opinion of their opponent or by misrepresenting (or misunderstanding) what they are saying.
What is it about the "geek" mindset that makes one jump to the conclusion that this is part of a vast conspiracy, some cabal of OS vendors, to lock out hackers and prevent anyone from modifying their own machine? Isn't the simpler explanation that 99% of Mac users don't know, don't care how to install custom apps or homebrew, and would gladly have Apple restrict them to signed-apps-only if it means a significantly reduced chance of virus/trojan infection?

And you know what? If some day, for some reason, Apple does decide to lock out hackers and tinkerers from their systems, somehow I doubt Apple's stock-holders will lose any sleep over it. For all the kvetching that I frequently hear from the HN crowd at large about "let the market decide", it's surprising how quickly that attitude vanishes when "the market" decides against you.

(For what it's worth, there was a time when developers had to lay out far more than the average user for capable systems. It's only relatively recently that standard consumer machines could stand in for a dev box. I wouldn't be surprised if the future has developers, once again, paying premium dolar for hardware.)

Great premise, horrid post.

True: Much hasn't been said about Google's acquisition of Milk and talent-capture. The Internet isn't entirely certain Rose is everything he's made out to be, and people often bring up the fact that he outsourced most, if not all, of Digg's creation as a means to downplay his capabilities.

It's easy to forget that Digg was an absolute powerhouse for years, and his Angel funding efforts have yielded great returns on top of that. Also, his network is vast, and he -gets- entrepreneurship. (See: Foundation [@Revision3]).

Will his fans rabidly follow him anywhere as the article suggests? Actually, yeah. Probably. His Diggnation live shows were epic, packed gigs. He has an audience and he has a voice.

But will all of this translate to net value for Google, or, more to the point, to a profitable Google+? I'm doubtful. Rose seems to flourish as a figurehead in a startup environment. But if Google was willing to buy Oink (rate anything in the real world!) and backed out of buying Digg (rate anything on the web!), my doubts appear rather unfounded.
I think pointing out a fallacy can sometimes be a good defense against somebody who is insisting that something is a mechanical certainty when it is not.
Alright. Given that, how do you find customers?

It's pretty easy for me to market us as "we do freelance programming". It's something most people that I talk to understand. I'm not sure how to market myself as a "solver of business problems".

Regardless of whether you use OSX or not, when you buy a Mac you're still paying a great deal for OSX. It suprises me that Linus is prepared to fund OSX. I mean the guy is a genius and I'm sure he has good reasons, but my tiny brain does not comprehend it.
I don't buy it. When I had a C64, I had a number of games on a floppy. The floppy got lost. The games were gone. With the App store, I buy an app on my iPhone and it magically appears on my iPad. If I loose either device (or, heaven forbid, both!), I can re-download my apps. How is that me not owning my own software? Because I can't look at the code? Guess what...I also don't get to view the schematics of the power station that generates the electricity without which neither my C64 nor my iPhone are of any use.

The cloud has become a utility, like electricity. The cloud goes down, I can't access my apps. The electricity goes out, I can't turn on my machine. This is the idea that the next generation will be raised with.
Appalling but I can't really fault them for responding to overwhelming incentives. Apple already gave their customers a chance to be treated like tool-using human beings, and the result was a decade of barely moving enough boutique desktops to keep their lights on. Now they basically emboss "suck it, consumer" along the rounded corners, and they're swimming in money. This move is an indictment of the people who demonstrably want to be treated like this, so when they get screwed by stuff their vendor chose not to let them do, make sure they realize it's their fault for opting in. Unlike Microsoft, Apple never conspired to keep competitors out of the market.

I think it's impossible to have a rational argument with many Americans if you use the word "communism" anywhere.
The headline is fairly misleading, and the article sloppily mixes actual fact with predictions stated as fact.

The reality: 10.8 by default only runs apps which were either downloaded from the App Store, with the iOS-style sandboxing that will require, or signed with Apple's new GateKeeper service, and otherwise a traditional Mac app.

Those who condemn this as a flagrant loss of freedom are lost in the philosophical weeds. The conventional wisdom before the iPhone was that native apps were all but dead anyway, and the browser was the future. The iPhone's App Store and attendant restrictions singlehandedly revived the concept of consumers installing software. Meanwhile, the Mac is gaining enough market share that it's now clearly a target for malware. Code signing is about as open as you can get while still tamping down nasty code (and let me stress again that GateKeeper is way more freeform than anything on iOS).

If there are alternate solutions to these issues, it would be fascinating to hear them. Otherwise, well, it's easy to criticize from the bleachers.

FTA:

"A single platinum-rich space rock 1,650 feet (500 meters) wide contains the equivalent of all the platinum-group metals ever mined throughout human history, company officials said."

Quick Wikipedia/Google math:

1 cubic foot of Platinum = 1330 pounds [1]

Total platinum mined ever = ~25 cubic feet [1] * 1330 lbs = 33250 lbs = 532,000 oz

Current price of platinum = $1,560/oz [2]

Total value of platinum in an asteroid = $829M

And that's just the one metal, which is not the only thing they're mining. Throw the water in there for the space station(s) and it's not impossible to assume that one asteroid can gross well over $1bn -- we're not talking $trillions yet, but I bet they've modeled this out to make it a profitable venture...

[1] - http://www.gold-eagle.com/analysis/platinum.html
[2] - http://www.kitco.com/market/

(of course this doesn't account for the fact that if you suddenly double the worldwide supply of platinum overnight, the price likely won't stay at $1560/oz....but still...)

I wish all the best, good sales and good feedback to the creator. the new media-consuming-devices give us all the ability, to challenge traditional ways of delivering the message. so it really is nice to see new ways of doing things.

when the printing press first arrived, the letters were cut, to look like handwritten letters, just the way, books used to look all the centuries before. with time, the medium book changed, as more people realized, that the medium had changed and delivered new possibilities.

so let's celebrate the people pushing the frontier, trying new things and showing us coherent ways of using the new mediums.

I am glad this is working for the OP, but pushing virtualenv and "self-contained" apps as the one solution is a diservice to the community. There are valid reasons to rely on your OS, assuming you have an homogenous deployment target (same OS, maybe different versions):

- lots of people argue for virtualenv because some versions may be incompatible. The problem here is the lack of backward compatibility of packages, and frankly, if you need to rely on packages which change API willingnily betwen e.g. 1.5 and 1.6, or if each of your service depends on a different version of some library, you have bigger problems anyway.

- any sufficiently complex deployment will depend on things that are not python, at which point you need a solution that integrates multiple languages. That is, you re-creating what a distribution is all about.

- virtualenv relies on sources, so if some of your dependences are in C, every deploy means compilation

- I still have no idea how security is handled when you put everything in virtualenv

from 'bandwagon' - "The ﬂaw in this argument is that the popularity of an idea has absolutely no
bearing on its validity. If it did, then the Earth would have made itself ﬂat for
most of history to accommodate people’s popular belief."

While 'most of history' is a long time, the knowledge of a round earth has been around (and popular) since around 300 BC. It may be true that humans, and even that written (let alone verbal) histories, have been around for much more than 2000 years, the commonness of this myth warrants a different example.

I guess my point was that I'd rather be the guy making the software that directs people around running errands then one of the guys running errands. To that end, I needed to have software engineering and product skills (otherwise I wouldn't have had the opportunity to even be in the position to start this company).

To the grandfather's point, I might be naive but when we automate away large numbers of people's jobs of course we will have to figure out some sort of wealth redistribution to give those people spending power (we do this right now in social welfare). However, my bet is that if you are one of the people doing the automating you'll be a lot better off than one of the people on welfare, because we've never in the history of humankind had perfect wealth redistribution.
I highly recommend using symlinks to synchronize dotfiles with a locally cloned repo. That way, you can make changes to the dotfiles sitting in your home directory and it'll be reflected in your repo should you want to commit those changes.
The raw materials are potentially worth trillions.

Economic growth in China and India has caused a huge increase the the price of many commodities, and economists have been projecting gloom and doom because he future looks to be resource-constrained.

But they weren't taking into account the one million asteroids in the solar system, many of which contain billions of tons of resources each.

This can really reshape fundamental assumptions about the future. Of course, it will happen slowly over the course of decades, and by the time we see results we'll all feel jaded about it.

But tonight I feel positively thrilled.

"people will not waste the time it takes to exercise daily"

If you consider it waste you won't do it. As for me, I love the benefits of exercise and the experience of doing it. I exercise every day, twice a day, only a few minutes, but burpees, which are intense. What benefits?

- Discipline in all other areas of life

- Connecting with others who exercise

- Stable appetite

- Focus

- Easy to fall asleep and wake up

- A body that doesn't get winded and girls comment on with attraction

- According to the article my brain develops too

I also know not to waste time talking to people who consider exercise a waste of time. We have different values.

How I got started: http://joshuaspodek.com/how-begin-workout-routine

My exercise: http://joshuaspodek.com/knew-minute-day-workout (I do fifteen every morning and evening, plus I'm starting to do stretches in the morning).

Some benefits: http://joshuaspodek.com/more-on-burpees

Folks, don't wait for an "exercise pill." You can enjoy exercise and all the benefits that come with it.
Virtualenv is a half solution and a hack. Use vagrant and VMs. There's a whole sea of libs and software that isn't "versioned" by pip/virtualenv.

supervisord is the wrong solution. It answers the wrong question (is the process running). It's worse than useless in that it has given false positives. The right question is (is the process responding correctly). Use monit or something else that actually does what's needed.
Probably via RSS feeds, not through scraping.

Yes, those obese mice are called Agouti mice, and the concept overall is called epigenetics. The ON/OFF state of genes can be changed through diet, nurture, and more. For example, if you do not eat very nutritious food you might not have enough methyl groups to methylate (turn OFF) some of the genes that are currently ON but should naturally switch.

This article conflates two issues: the secular trend that is "software eating the world" and the local trend which is a valuation spike.

»The truth is that the technology sector as a whole over any length of time is a positive-sum game

Actually, no - a bubble means people aren't investing on fundamentals but on momentum; the expected value of the investment is negative. If we were in a bubble (as in bubbles past) we wouldn't be in a positive sum game. Saying that it would be a net positive game over "any period of time" is economically and empirically ridiculous.

I happen to believe that we are not in a bubble. But if we were it would matter - it would mean that when the bubble pops opportunities in the field would decrease in frequency and magnitude. Since career scars early on have more persistent effects than displacements later in life it follows that an aspiring tech star cannot ignore the market realities of what they're going into.

We are mortal, we can't just ride the secular trend. The local time scale matters, too.
This happens all the time. Only a matter of time until one big enough land on earths surface.
