I can't figure where all the negativity is coming from. Envy, sloth, pride? Good luck Oxide founders !!!

  Same! I saw someone post this originally to twitter and thought it sounded neat. Coming here, the reaction has been really weird/negative.

  HN doesn't know anything about hardware + Oxide hasn't explained themselves in detail + cool cynicism. HN also thought that Dropbox was basically rsync.

  Every time any company 'starts' and doesn't in detail lay out their 10 year plan to profitability, Hacker News will start shitting on the idea calling it a cheap ripoff of X and it should go away. Same pattern always.

  To me, and I suspect to many other people outside of Silicon Valley, this just sounds like "those 3 people you should know about just started a company". Fine. But in this case there is absolutely nothing: no product picture or description, etc. So we're left with guess work (which is also fine I suppose). It's a bit like telling us that Susie and Jim from Facebook just got engaged. It's good news if you know them, but a bit disappointing otherwise.
