There's really just one question - How much? There's virtually identical, very nicely done desk from SteelCase, which goes for a bit over $1,000. If they can halve this without compromising on the quality, they will do we

Not even that. As you pass the 1.5 kg bag to the next group, it's easy to see that that it's not 3-4 kilos as you have just guessed.

Posting this on HN is preaching to the choir. Early employees are rewarded for the risk taking first and their contributions next. Later employees are rewarded for making a well-running company better. That's what's profit sharing

Can you perhaps explain how he can get these $28,000 in physical dollars? That's not even getting into an irony of throwing Bitcoins at a person whose life has been just severely discomforted by the very same subject.

Forget China, look at Canada. Virtually identical certification requirements, virtually identical cars (sans MP/H vs KM/H and F vs C), but high-end Audi like S6 used to cost 100% more than in the US. They enforced this by forbiddi

There are import taxes, there is a cost of shipping it back to Europe and there's a cost of re-certification to European standards. It still makes sense $-ly, but it's a hassle.

The problem of course is that Ukraine has no economic sovereignty already. It is utterly dependent on Russian gas for its energy needs. Even if Yanukovich steps down, next leader will have the exact same problem - where to get gas to powe

Interesting stats, but I wonder if the drive usage pattern at BackBlaze is somewhat different from that of a home user. In terms of how they seek, read and write. Not that they put more mileage on them faster, but that they might be doing s

Their valuation for a rumoured first round was between $500 and $800M. They ended up raising $100M (which is still mind-boggling). But in the rest you are correct.

You guys are comparing apples to oranges. I would rather have a $300 fully open source, hackable device than a $50 locked down box, which is what recent WRT models were. Belkin's price is off, but they inherently get "it", th
