Let's see. Take your 1 billion and look at the opportunity cost, and assume that the market at large can earn you a real return of ~4%, which is ... $40 million profit a year, so divide that by your margins and there you go. If you've got Apple-like margins of 30% you're looking at $130 million in revenue a year (+ revenue growth that matches inflation). A software-only company might do it with less; if you're selling more physical goods you're probably going to need more.

Growth can substitute for that for a while, but in the long run that's about the return you're going to need to have to justify a $1 billion market cap to investors, who also have the opportunity to invest somewhere else.

Ask HN: Good travel planning app?
I'm looking for an app to help me plan a trip around the U.S. and Europe in the next few months. I'd like it to be easy for me to paste in ideas for attractions / things to do / places to stay, and to see how changing plans changes the price. And, it would be nice if it were easily shareable and collaboratively editable.

I was just going to do a Google Spreadsheet, but that seems so dry.

One thing nobody is commenting on here is that the easiest way to avoid your passwords being stolen is actually just to ensure that nobody other than yourself knows that that they are passwords. Develop an estoteric system (don't use the word 'password' anywhere, don't store passwords with the full name of what they access, don't repeatedly access the same encrypted document [telling anyone looking for your secrets 'Decrypt this!']) and you are likely to put off all but someone ridiculously determined to target you.

Even better - don't put it online and don't even save it digitally if you can avoid it (is anyone that steals your wallet or burgles your house going to really bother trying to figure out what a hand-scribbled series of characters might mean?).
> The corporate and personal tax rates in Germany and Belgium are higher than the US

I don't think that's currently true, at least not if you're talking about the top rates that profitable companies pay. Wikipedia says the top corporate tax rate in Belgium is 33.99% and the top federal corporate rate in the US is 38%.

Corporate tax rates have generally declined over time to where the US rate is now one of the highest in the developed world. (Japan beats us by a bit - their top rate is 40%. Most of Europe does not.)

Because lets face it, your not a genius until everyone agrees you are a genius. Therefore, in order to be a genius you must make affect the masses.

I can see how it's easy to get hooked (sorry) on knitting and maths. You might start off doing visualisations of various sequences. Next, you wonder what happens if Fink and Mao's necktie analysis [1] is extended to an exhaustive analysis of knitting stitches, and end up with all sorts of multidimensional stuff. Finally that becomes too easy and you attempt to use a length of yarn to model the world line of a single electron [2] and accidentally win a Nobel Prize! :-)

I wouldn't give up because someone else is working on what you are doing. Even if they have a similar product, you could target a different customer, or have a different business model.

But you have the same problem with text or binary distinctions. On some platforms, no distinction between them needs to be made (quite usefully, adding to tool simplicity and conceptual simplicity).

If you use BOM, a tool which can operate on text or binary must be told which it is operating on. This would have to be done via some external context (e.g. cmdline switch). And that would never go away, even in a utf8 everywhere world.

Basically, in BOM-world:
- You either need to tag each fragment of text or you still need to use external context (e.g. which encoding do I get text columns from my database)
- You perpetually need to differentiate between binary and text data for all tools which do nothing more complicated than read and write

and in non-BOM-world you:
- add to the contextual clues you need anyway something like "any files which you are going to interpret as text on the system should be interpreted as utf8"
- when moving data on or off the local the local system, use a network protocol which supports tagging the text payload (e.g. email, http).

The problems arise mostly with file shares (or their equivalent, version control systems) where text files are exchanged without an accompanying protocol. That is where "BOM world" or "UTF8 world" will ultimately have to settle their differences.

BOM-world would like all systems, everywhere, to make a text/binary distinction for ever. UTF8-world would like to say that textual data lacking a context should be interpreted as UTF8. But feel free to use UTF16/UTF32 for specific purposes or systems.

Nope. P(A) will always be greater than or equal to P(A|B). Assume P(B)=1. What's P(A|B)? P(A).

You're still right about your claim, it's just that I don't really care if a corporation is more likely to kill me anyway. Then the world goes all bizarro and you want a corporation to spy on you!

Atwood's solution is flawed because law enforcement only need to give correctly formed documents to Google to get all your passwords over a bunch of services.

Imagine someone using Hushmail in the same way. It should be a lot more secure. Hushmail uses strong encryption, but has in the past served specially crafted Java applications to the customer because they were cooperating with law enforcement.

Admittedly, if you have law enforcement after you then you need to start being a lot more careful with everything.

Conversely, bands are startups for musicians. There's probably some awesome business models that recognize that fact, rather than forcing musicians into sharecropper deals.
> Gmail IMAP requires SSL

Good to know. I did specify that I never used it, so my understanding could be flawed.

> To "email yourself" implies using the same service.

To you, but not necessarily to everyone. People do have multiple accounts (gmail, personal domain, work, even Facebook gives you an email address you can send things to), and it's really easy to conflate "email yourself" with "send an email to your account", or even to abstract "sending an email to yourself is secure" to "email is secure".

My point was simply that if you make an argument about something as important as security, it's vital that you spell out the limitations to your advice. "Email yourself" is ambiguous enough that it needs a proper disclaimer.

Admittedly, the audience for Coding Horror is mostly people who know this stuff already, but it's certainly not limited to those people exclusively. I started reading his blog midway through college, and it's amazing to me, looking back now, just how naive I was about a lot of things back then.
As with many things, this is all about finding a healthy balance between the two.

Speaking as an aerospace engineer, this is the equivalent of the people a century ago concerned with the Hoover Dam throwing off the Earth's gravity.

The Kessler problem is something to think about, but understand that there is a lot of space out there. It is okay to waste a little in the beginning while we get from 80 to 99. Asking for 99 from the start is akin to saying we won't let a car on the road until 60mpg.
I totally agree and in fact I would go further to say that the notion of 'genius' is nothing more than an inchoate, rudimentary classification system used to group together successes or extremes in the realm of mental pursuits. Handy when you want to evince notions of extreme-ness but since there are thousands of different possible mental pursuits, the term is basically meaningless.

Social Security pays some benefits to people who have not fully paid enough into the system to have their benefits covered. I wished to exclude these people from consideration and talked about the portion of beneficiaries who have. The latter group is a very large majority of beneficiaries and I used the term "vested" w.r.t. to this group. The point ought to have been clear and being pedantic on it is pointless.

Congress could decide tomorrow to divert all SS payouts to hookers and blow and retirees would have no legal recourse.

You don't understand the role the judicial branch plays in the U.S. if you think this is true.

I'm not sure I agree with his final conclusion that the best startups are somehow profit-agnostic. It sounds like he is romanticizing both successful startups as well as bands.

It's reasonable to assert that founders who truly care about their product may, on average, fare better than those who don't. However, it feels a little presumptuous to interpret the motivations and ambitions of all successful and admired musicians / artists / founders, en masse and from afar.

Would anyone argue that Amazon was not founded with profit as (at least) a prime motivator? How about Apple or Microsoft?

Moreover, even if not chasing monetary fortune, people can still be motivated by a multitude externalities such as recognition or fame - both of which != passion for the product.

TLDR; The conclusion the author draws is hand-wavy at best and paints a decidedly black-and-white picture of the musical scene and startup ecosystem.
I feel the same way, I wonder if this has anything to do with fact that github has their servers only in the US (even though it's east coast) and this therefore adds some latency for us over in Europe.

I have built many java/grails based web applications in the past 2 years and I would agree that the support for grails/java is much better. The community is pretty active and the fact that grails allows you to fallback to java and runs in a time tested environment(ie the jvm) is an asset in itself. The spring framework which is the backbone for grails is also widely supported and frankly blows RoR out of the water when it comes to documentation, support, experienced developer base.
I would definitely support a grails/Java stack compared to a RoR stack hands down.
So startups are like bands without drugs and girls?

Agree with the similarities. Another one is disruptors. Think about successful bands and how they disrupted the music scene.
