Any EBay mass seller willing to buy bulk and sell a package with all the components needed ? Don't mind paying extra to have it shipped in one box.

Not sure what is so interesting about this post, the brilliant bit is the link to the KickStarter project creating an Open-source USB analyzer. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bushing/openvizsla-open-... While I am a die-hard fan of e

Wonder if a startup could get those Tomahawks down to 60,000$ a pop.

You won't get much upvotes as the vast majority of HN readers appear to come from the Web world. And as someone who made the switch from embedded to web,I find web much easier in 90% of the time. Sure its hard to learn CSS, but I want to se

Nope, The controllers on both ends expect a fairly complex protocol (one which you have virtually zero control over - in software). Some hubs will allow you to selectively turn power on their ports (most just say they do). You can in theory

The point is now how much they are _worth_ but how much people will be willing to _pay_.

Why would you trust such a site ? If they become even moderately successful, I will always be worried that the big brands / local importers - just bought the top slots and the site is nothing more than a marketing tool. But maybe its me bei

I am sorry to be negative, but can someone explain to me why this is a YC startup and not a weekend-project ?

This is a sarcastic retort to the common advise given to MBA/business people who look for technical co-founders, by technical people on HN: "Just learn to code yourself, and don't ask precious me for my time." I found it witty, humbl

Obviously a driver shouldn't be someone who is in the city for the first time. They know all the major points (like shopping centers). The other points just shows that GPS have a bit to go yet, and they are going there. There are quite a lo

by Murkin 16y ago
Can you elaborate on why this is a good thing ? Instead of using a 200$ GPS, they are required to spend a long time studying a body of knowledge superseded by technology. And this translates to higher costs for the casual cab-rider.

The hard part is the cost. Unlike at home, there are a few more things required: Those might include (but not limited to): local RAID (*) mirror to remote-site versioned backup off-site backup archives And every piece of that p

I really hope they don't start fixing roads during the day.. you know.. so the workers are not tired. Or major electrical upgrades.. or phones.. or local internet backbone.. or water.. or what ever other utility that is more important to my

Our deployment process was always at night (10,000+ user org). Even if your process is great and there is no downtime during upgrades, any problem might cause the whole organization to loose thousands of work hours (instead of just your tea

Keeps telling me my HN profile doesn't include the required string. Why is this so complicated ?

The problem here is not the outwitting - but rather the manipulation: If I _know_ that a news item about a major law suite against a company will bring down it stock (predict behavior of others) - trading is valid. If I create a fa

As noted in other comments, the numbers are a bit skewed. E.g. it takes half a morning to open a company. But it takes up to two weeks to get all the approval documents mailed to you. In any case, this info is not for tech-startups, its sta

We had dozens fail. Than again, I worked on developing embedded USB stacks. Those guys suffered quite a workload (but nothing astronomical). Mainly: Random data corruption (~90%) Electrical failure - not responding to reset or power-on (~10

Run. Been there, done that. (I didn't run soon enough) The heart-to-heart stuff is nice and warm for about a week. If you have been having problems for a long while, trust your senses and leave before you are more heavily invested. Remember

And perhaps the main reason why they are so successful. People post with their real names instead of arcane nicknames from the 90ies. With all the psychological and social results that follow.

Why is this down-voted ? One of his big "lessons" is doing social-media. Can't imagine how much money he spends on FanPage and Twitter. Only can wonder if that expense pulls him any clients (especially compared to Google's search).
