Unlikely.

Car ownership for status reasons would not change. The market would still be stratified by style, size, badge/brand and features.

The introduction of driverless cars, if anything, is likely to make total miles driven go up. The actual number of cars purchased would go up as long as the miles are going up. The number of individual purchasers doesn't matter, it's how many old cars are getting worn out that matters. They get serviced as they wear out, and manufacturers would still make plenty of money doing that. Even more so, probably, because they could program the cars to come in for a service when needed, guaranteeing them more service revenue.

Insurance providers would only be too happy to write out policies on overall crash/theft data that doesn't involve random events like people falling asleep or driving drunk. If anything, it would make vehicle insurance easier. But the number of claims doesn't really matter to an insurer - they expect to pay out all of their policy revenue on claims - what matters is investing the pool of funds well in the holding period between policy income and claims expense.

Any new product can only be positive for the people who make them. The only ones looking at real trouble are those who don't enter the market (if it turns out to be a success) or those who chase the wrong ideas, plus people who make a living driving cars.
A little variation on your statement...

"If parents don't see child nutrition as a priority, their priority list needs to be burned to the ground. Are we honestly expected to believe that a first world nation's family can't find room in the budget to give their own children vegetables and prepare food for them ?"

Since when is the political system responsible of what your children should or should not eat ? Is that even the role of the political system? And if your answer is "Yes", where does that involvment in private affairs stop ?

What's more exciting than this computer itself is the potential it represents. If you read the actual product page [apc.io], a lot of it is devoted to just how small this new Neo-ITX form factor is.

For comparison's sake:

Mass-market paperback - 19.8cm x 13cm
Neo-ITX - 17cm x 8.5cm
IPhone 4 - 11.5 cm x 5.86 cm
2.5inch SSD - 10 cm x 6.99 cm
Raspberry Pi - 8.6cm x 5.4cm

So the Neo-ITX is a third bigger than an IPhone 4.[1] And the perfect size to nestle a normal SSD right on top.

Not very far down the road, we will be looking at a complete, very functional computer (harddrive, wireless internet, etc.) in a package about the size of a small book. All for 15 watts.

And what I love best: it will be so cheap and versatile. Because it will use modular, already popular hardware.

Remember the good old days of the desktop:

Swap out the HDD for a bigger one. Replace it easily if it fails. Swap out the whole motherboard if that fails. Keep using the same damn case and power adaptor for ten years.

And best: put in random, new PCI express cards that expand the capabilities of the computer, using it in ways the original designers hadn't foreseen. As happened in the past with:

Ethernet
Wireless Networking
Exploding GPU power

I don't think it's that awful.

The cost of the split is minimal, and it allows for easy addition, editing, or removal of strings.

Also, this snippet is hardly the JS that "drives" the thing.
I see it the other way around. One thing driverless cars need is very accurate geo-data to be any use. If a car is going to turn up at 1 Long st, it needs to know exactly where that is.

While there is no doubt these 'crawlers' will gather data while 'crawling', to me it's unlikely that this is their intended purpose.

The real winner for automated vehicles is automated delivery of stuff. The big cost for a pizza delivery service is paying the guy behind the wheel to drive a 1 ton vehicle around to deliver 1 pizza.

With automated delivery comes a reduction in size, weight, fuel consumption and of course, cost. It also gets around the problem of people not wanting to 'passenger' in an automated car.

I've said it before - think of those little box-like droids that zip around in star wars films. Imagine each one of those in UPS livery taking a small set of packages to a set of destinations. Tied in with online shops, I think you're looking at the future of retail.

It sort of looks like the bottle has been coated on the inside with oil.

Because of the chemical similarities between oil and plastics, oil really sticks to plastic, creating a hard to remove oily coating on plastic surfaces. You really notice this effect if you have the joy of having to hand wash a plastic mixing bowl that has had oil in it.

I wonder if something similar is going on here? If they are eating this stuff already is the magic ingredient simply an edible oil?

[edit] readability.
I see your point about the tone, but it's true that widespread adoption of such technology would yield interesting new technology for Google too. As a simple example, shifting traffic patterns are a useful leading indicator of economic change at a very high resolution. You can get a lot of statistically useful data from a surprisingly small sample size (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_size_determination). Consider, for example, the length of time cars spend in the parking lot at a shopping center. When you have that for hundreds of individual cars per day and/or longitudinally (over repeat visits) you can infer an awful lot of data about the local business climate in a non-intrusive way. Even if you make the cars wholly autonomous and don't collect data on individuals there's still a lot of environmental data that can be usefully harvested.
Or, you know, use wax. The primary development here is creating something that can be approved by the FDA.

Page doesn't really strike me as the type to invest heavily in appearances.

> it's a bit shocking that a 39-year-old would have hair that gray.

shrug maybe. I've had significant gray hair in my beard since I was 19 or so & my uncles were both bald by 25. Weirder things have happened.

> I guess even running a wildly successful company is stressful.

Probably more so than a failure. At least failures end :-P Having had recently to negotiate various potential outcomes in parallel, with nothing but upside all around, I couldn't believe how incredibly stressful it can be. It's an odd thought to find yourself wishing for (startup) death, to make the stress go away. However, on the other side, most of that type of stress is self-imposed. Maybe the same thing that made him so successful is what made his hair go gray...

I don't think the Data Liberation Front is identical to what Facebook allows the user to extract. For one, I can't get the contact information of my friends.

The situation is absolutely asymmetric. I can download all of the email addresses of all of my Google Contacts, right now.

That you think Facebook isn't holding your data hostage sounds to me more like Stockholm Syndrome.

Regardless of the relationship between Google and Facebook, it's a good feature that Google allows you to download that. It'd be nice if Facebook offered the same, don't you think?

I don't know what you mean about videos, honestly. If I search for "somebody that I used to know," I see Youtube, vimeo, nbc. And those all have embedded images, enticing you to watch the video. Is your assertion that vimeo "puts money in Google's pocket"? Searching for other videos that I know are not on Youtube produces them in search results, just fine.

If I Google "Robert Scoble Facebook," I can find his page pretty easily. Tell me what to do, within Facebook, to find his Google+ profile?

And you can call fanboy all you want. You apparently think "number of users" is the only metric of value, which is fine - that's your opinion. My opinion is that market cap is a pretty good indication of the relative size of a company, and by that metric, Facebook is the underdog. It's a shame they're also holding my data hostage, because that means I'm not going to root for that underdog.

Personally I find that epub rearranges itself better for font size / screen size that a smart phone offers. PDFs are usually painful to read because you have to scroll the page sideways to get the font size I like.

But from memory the book is not image heavy, so converting to a text doc (or epub format) should be a very easy cut 'n paste, so the parent comment is a little bit on the ungrateful side.
I feel a little bit mixed being that Google seems to be using this to market Chrome.

Given how tight and controlled the shares distribution was by Morgan Stanley, how eff-ed up the orders to NASDAQ went, and the resulting decline in value over the last few days -- basically it seems that Wall Street bankers are the ones who were screwed. All I can say is -- what goes around, comes around.

They finally did it to themselves. For all the complaints about future regulatory needs, the Street never once considered that it might actually protect someone they're interested in -- themselves. Trust in the market has never been lower, thanks to the very folks that benefit from it. Now, not only are government agencies pissed off and investigating, but the traders are going to start pointing fingers at each other.

Tsk, tsk Wall Street -- prepare to hunker down. Karma's a bitch, boys. Who knows, when it's all said and done, maybe Facebook will end up actually helping Main Street.

Facebook isn't tied to paying the pensions of hundreds of thousands of people due to poorly conceived agreements made in the 1970s which they will be nationalized if they attempt to get out of, which means they avoid the drag on their valuation suffered by the major American health insurance company on your list.

Google Doodle Celebrates Birthday of Robert Moog with Playable Synthesizer
Another point just came to my mind:

I am not a fanboy of Graham but as an example I do find Grahams essays more appealing, much closer to reality and thus more helpful, maybe not always that thrilling and motivating as Get Real was 5 yrs ago, but much more precise and expressive when describing startup business and what's really about. I remember one essay which discussed single versus multiple founder startups and I've never read before such an accurate picture of this topic. Motivational books like Get Real are good to just get started but I am afraid that that's enough to be successful and to finish in the long run.

Their cookie-cutting black'n'white reality tells you, yeah everything is great, just do it, yes, you can. Then you start happily (which is great) but stop 3 days later without having a clue why things doesn't work out, grabbing the next cheerful self-help book and think it must be your fault because 37signals is 'so' successful and they must know how it works—no you just didn't get the full picture, essential building block were omitted. Besides: success is relative, just compare success stories from Dropbox, Airbnb and Basecamp, really different beasts and way of thinkings behind them (with good reason). When I read Get Real yrs ago I tried it like they said and I wasn't a fraction of that successful of what I was after reading 5 months HN.

I'm impressed at the quality of questions that Rose asked. They weren't all easy and they were questions I was interested in hearing Page answer.
My background is I am an ME and I worked on designing flight critical systems on airliners. I had the philosophy of designing to survive failure hammered into me, and when I see the Fukishima plants, all the red flags go up in my head.

For example, let's assume the wing spar fails. Junior engineer says "but the spar can't fail! We designed it to handle any predicted load!". Senior engineer says "Wrong answer. Anything can fail. How will you design the airplane to survive a wing spar failure?" (The solution usually is to have dual wing spars.)

This question is repeated for every single system and part in the airplane. Failure scenarios are also played out to ensure that failure of one part or system will not have a "zipper" effect of breaking other critical systems.

With Fukishima, I clearly see "the sea wall cannot fail, so we won't even bother to investigate if we can make failure of the wall survivable."

As it turned out, it would have been survivable if only the backup generators hadn't failed due to flooding. Hardening those generators (one way) is to simply put them in a concrete box. It's hard to believe that would have been that expensive. Videos of the tsunami showed a lot of masonry structures withstanding it.

> How many redundant transmission lines do you need for a generator a mile away?

Good question. The general rule is to have an independent backup system for every critical system. That has made flying around the world in an airliner safer than driving yourself to the post office.
This is more or less where I was a couple of months back. I still am a lot skeptical on my marketability as a programmer. But I am in a better mental position than where I was only because I was able to launch something, albeit small.

He argues that the data belongs to the user, and the user should be allowed to easily transfer it to another service.

We could argue about privacy stuff, but the fact that Facebook allows Yahoo access to the data means that Facebook uses this only as an excuse, all they really care about is giving competition a hard time.
Sorry about that, the blog is hosted on linode, who had scheduled a reboot for tonight, which turned into a 2 hour outage...

It cost £50 to install, and £12 a year in hosting costs for electricity and bandwidth, but the host I'm using says they'll have to introduce a minimum charge of about £5 per month if lots of people start doing it with these micro servers.
Well, honestly we'll never know for sure, but if a weekend of "thinking it over" cuts the price in half, did it really deserve the $70 valuation? After the hype, people are going to think it over at some point, right? Maybe it's better that it happened right off the bat.
