I mean AMD was shipping enormous quantities of low-margin parts. They didn't have the market share of Intel, but the chips they did make sold fairly well, enough to keep in the game.

They also had the advantage of not betting the house on Itanium or losing their shirt on the doomed Pentium 4 architecture.

In the early days, where ARM was used in the Newton and very little else. Motorola absolutely owned the market. If I was to bet on someone to unseat them I'd have gone with Hitachi and their SH series as used in the Dreamcast.

Like I said, they got lucky, but they also played smart when they did get lucky. Too many companies have been handed the opportunity of the century only to fumble it. It's a credit to each of them they went from underdog to player.

I still don't think this discounts how much money it takes to succeed. It takes a great company with a product that is at least good enough, not necessarily better.
Good grief, my Scottish school (Banchory Academy) had huge portions of fairly stolid, if unspectacular food. Always plenty of veg and a meat, and a dessert.

Portions have downsized to airline proportions...
If you front-load the cost of a mostly-automatable construction of a space elevator (factory in orbit spitting out woven carbon nanotubes in opposite direction like a spider's spinnerets - this is almost definitely wandering into the realm of sci-fi, but maybe?), synthesizing the manufacturing components and launching them to orbit will be the most difficult part.

And if we can refine those materials from asteroids, that cuts the resource extraction cost as well - no need to ship it to orbit. (besides, what if the manufacturing technique for said carbon nanotube ropes require a weightless environment?)

There's even research into using the earth's magnetic field to generate electric potential this way.

Then of course there's the collision and weather and so on and so forth.
Sure, it could be good enough, but the ecosystem has not been building up around that. Perhaps it's the seperate languages used, or the clunkiness of having to use another browser and all the setup just to render a simple graph. But I personally have not found an extension that takes advantage of that.
Hey Peteris,

I just want to let you know that what you're doing is awesome and I've been following it since the beginning. Browserling, from one dev to another, is a terrific implementation, and to speak to its benefits, I have used it a bunch of times because it is faster than booting up a VM for quick smoke tests. Everything has worked really well and I recommend it to everyone that mentions browser testing.

I'd love to give you money - and it sounds like you'll be offering a prepaid plan - so I'll do that as soon as it's released. If there's a mailing list please add me to it, email in profile.

Perhaps, but demonstrating a custom binary tree implementation in Haskell is not the right way to lure blub programmers.

Show them how Haskell makes it easier to solve the problems they face in their day-to-day work and you might start to make some converts.
Ketchup is a non-newtonian fluid. This means that in low levels of force it's very thick - almost a solid.

Simple idea but very powerful—you don't need more. They have to put on some filters and integrate some more streams (ie. meetup.com) and then it's perfect.
Personally I don't care giving my email since as you said I can instantly unsubscribe from their list (which I won't).

We can never appreciate enough when a for-profit organization gives things for free. I mean, that pdf is about their knowledge, and the one they use to make money.

I come from outside of the tech business world, and I am always amazed to see that sharing/open source/nice community built around it.

So yeah, +1 to anything shared :)
But then how would you know you have been reading Hacker News for too long?
I don't want to undermine your basic point here -- I hope that you're right. Quinoa in particular might be a problem though, since it's already increasing in price due short supply. Mass adoption by America's schools would probably result in making it unsustainable both for the schools themselves and for South American communities that rely on it.

It's somewhat amusing that the user "unnamed" posted this link. :) Regardless, this is an interesting article. I can recall a few movies where a made-up character becomes "real".

On a related note, I'm getting all these new kind of spam emails these days in which the messages are specifically tailored to me. Real creepy. They know my name. They know the city I live in. Etc. (The message says, for example, I met the president of his company in a conference in [CITY NAME], and this is a follow-up. Etc.) Real creepy.

So, now it’s time to take it to the next level – I’ve paid for the beaglebone to go into a colocation rack in Telehouse North, with a friendly colocation company called Jump Networks who were happy to help out with the experiment, and who only charge for £50 + VAT for installation and a very low monthly cost for hosting the equipment, as little as £5 per month – perfect for an ARM server.

They're far more complex than what I wanted or needed, and they are not out-of-the-box compatible with heroku-style buildpacks or Procfiles. I admit I haven't taken a very close look at openshift but I used cloudfoundry as inspiration for a prototype at work.

The point of Dokuen is not to be a full distributed computing environment, actually rather the opposite. Dokuen is a lightweight system (there are in fact no daemons and less than 1000 sloc) to enable git-based deployments to a single machine.
Actually, I know this and this wikipedia entry. It's hard to for me to classify Iraq. For awhile they were another totalitarian state with ties to the Soviet Union. For awhile they were more in the US orbit. I guess that would put them in the 3rd world, though economically they have been in a different class than the poorest 3rd world nations.

I was thinking of terming them a "second rate power."

@defen,

1) Being capable of doing something doesn't mean you've done it. For instance, you're capable of reading comprehension, but you completely missed the fact that I wasn't attacking your damsel in distress. I am actually talking about all anti-tech commentators.

2) Of course it's not about any specific technology. That's precisely my criticism. If they were specific, then a serious discussion could be had. But because they can't quite figure out what they themselves are critical of in a precise fashion, they're unable to get anyone to listen.

You're welcome to provide substance to this by pasting in Kaczinsky's definition of technology.

This is great of California's Govt, and I really can't wait to use this form of transit. However, which of the following is going to make this increasingly difficult, and how does Google and friends plan to supplant them?

* car manufacturers -- less need for [fancy] cars when
* no one is looking
* computers are doing the handling
* car manufacturers -- less need to purchase cars
* there are less owners -- cars are more easily shared
* there are less totals -- cars crash less
* there is less wear and tear on autonomous driving
* insurance providers -- less claims... less revenue
* etc...

Will atonomous cars hit these players' bottom lines? What can they do to lobby against autonomous cars actually coming to fruition? I see it being akin to the MAFIAA vs. Entertainment Industry and possibly worse.
Depends on the intelligence of the person and the complexity of the ruse. The most powerful deceptions are those just under our noses.
Technical: Good knowledge of a typical web stack or mobile development or both

Non-tech: Not much, you have just to show that your are ambitious and somebody who gets things done (or finishs them)

With good technical knowledge you do not need connections. Just get familiar with a technology, you like build some nice private projects and apply/go to networking events.

Regarding tech: demand for iOS devs is always high, Anroid too and for the web stack I'd recommend either Python/Django or Node.js/Express which are both easy to learn

This somehow really drove home the opportunities some people have that others don't. The fact that such a competition exists at a university level for students makes me incredibly envious. I go to one of the highest ranking universities in my country and there is no such competition or even idea to push students to collaborate and compete at such a high level. I feel like I'm at a complete intellectual disadvantage to MIT students to a degree.
How must people feel who didn't even have the opportunity to complete secondary school feel? The world might be flattening but it has a long long way to go.

You can still run a lot of users on "modest" hardware. Dave Richards posts regularly about his terminal server work for Largo, Florida. 250 users running GNOME, firefox, libreoffice, etc. on one server with 64GB of RAM may not be up to 1989 standards, but it isn't shabby.

It matches the real-life cost of the Rpi, probably will have general availability around the same time, and has double the memory and a little onboard NAND.

It may not be perfect, but remember this sector is very much in its infancy, and a little more competition has to be a good thing for improvements in future devices all round.

If you seriously think that using a couple of the worst offenders in Unions is a good argument for abandoning unionized labor, you're more ignorant than you have any clue. You could easily use the same kinds of arguments for why we should abandon corporations, governments, or really anything at all.

When you look at the majority of Unions- and yes, even those in California- they are one of the few things holding the economy up. As much as I'm one of those who wants to push science, evolution, and transhumanism to it's limit, when it comes down to it, a distributed economy beats a top-heavy economy every time, no matter what. Every example of economies with this large a difference in income disparity ends in disaster- literally every example we've ever had. There are no examples of where it was a good thing.

The common sentiment of futurists is 'a little pain to get us to utopia', but the problem is, that pain can kill us very quickly. Without unionized labor, you immediately and wholeheartedly condemn millions to poverty. Furthermore, you're simultaneously abolishing free speech- for what's the use of free speech, if no one can hear you?

My biggest issue with the anti-union crowd is that they don't realize that Unions are just another competing force, except instead of competing in the marketplace, they're competing in the production line. Why do you think our golden example, Silicon Valley, has managed to stay away from unions? It's because of treating their workers pretty damn well, by anyone's standards.

But as long as there are people working 16 hour days in 110 degree weather for $20 an hour in Central California, WITH the help of a union? You're never going to have a good argument that unions aren't a powerful force for good. You're just ignoring the other side.
I know. I saw this and immediately thought, here comes another E Ink with pretty much only one company using it in any meaningful amount until it becomes obsolete and no one uses it for the remaining 16 years left on the patent.
But the majority of people don't.
Don't you think that it's possible that becoming a full MD doctor is a qualifications vouching system that programming lacks, and thus it's "every company for themselves" in terms of deciding who is actually qualified/worth hiring?

The amount of sub-par candidates that are nearly constantly looking is absolutely appalling to me, and is probably shocking to most of the non-hiring-managers reading HN.

Why is the interview process so intensive? Same reason gold mining is intensive. There's a lot more dirt than gold in both cases.

Hmm I wonder if in the case of ketchup/condiments this will initially be less successful than we think.

Your going to have to get consumers to learn to not accidentally dump half the bottle out when turning it over and shaking it like you would with today's ketchup. This sounds easy but think of all the elderly folks eating at their favorite local diner.

I think the challenge may actually be in making it less slippery. If you can control that then over the next 5 years you could gradually up the slipperyness to make the learning transition more gradual for consumers.
In Kansas City, Google is laying it's gigabit fiber to the home.

Earlier this year, Google got regulatory approval to offer video over their fiber service. [1]

Google TV and their fiber service could be a pretty amazing combination. Getting to integrate the Motorola knowledge may make it better.

Or, Google could try to push Google TV onto the companies who buy the Motorola boxes (through discounting/subsidies).

Ashley scalds two guys calling them unprofessional and yet stoops to the same level of unprofessionalism by having a cry over the internet. I couldn't care less if they messed up the show, Ashley sounds like a pretentious cry-baby who needs to harden up, I seriously hope it damages her reputation far more than it does the two guys she hired, because Ashley sounds like a spoilt brat crying because her daddy didn't get her the pony and sports car she wanted. Definitely not a person you want organising anything, reading through her other posts reads like a diary of a person with some deep troubling emotional and potentially mental issues.
This effect could be achieved with a "standard" superhydrophobic coating (or superhydrophilic for oil-based condiments). Those can be easily done with something like a nanostructured silica film (without having to functionalize the coating with additional chemicals), and silica is a very common food additive (fumed silica is already added to ketchup in fact to alter its flow properties)
The article makes it sound like since "6 separate bugs" were needed to bring down Chrome, it proves that its a more secure browser (than presumably IE or Firefox). But in 10 days a teenager found 6 bugs in Chrome in 2012? That doesn't sound more secure.
They knew what kind of arrangement they were getting into. Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't daily deal sites like LivingSocial / Groupon offer voucher caps on their deals now? If the studio couldn't handle that type of volume they never should have gotten into a deal with Groupon.

Groupon / LivingSocial are upfront about how their deals are conducted. People know that they are giving away 50% of the proceeds. Groupon doesn't say, HEY! The customers that come through us are going to be loyal repeat customers!

It's pointless to blame LivingSocial and Groupon for poor business planning and execution.

My guess is that this will be hard to commercialize, because that coating is going to need to resist being heated to X degrees without tainting the food.
Interesting. Perhaps because I've had a bit of experience dabbling in some pretty graphically intensive/impressive HTML5 applications this template isn't all that impressive to me and I was expecting a lot more. Needless to say, it's great people are releasing things like this and no doubt it'll get a bit more feature packed as people fork and make changes hopefully. Exciting times ahead, now where's my beer template, I'm thirsty.
I don't know. But Heinz found that mothers were rationing ketchup when they get near the end of the bottle. The solution? They made bigger bottles.
