Anyone else find that in this new streaming age they listen to a lot less music? It may just be a function of my age, but I feel like if I had a device with all of my songs on it again I would listen to much more. I think there could be ano

The open source vacuum would be a really cool project. I imagine you could pick a cheap vacuum on amazon.com that could serve as the init project and then slowly evolve from there to one day replace all the plastic parts.

Driverless cars will reduce the cost of taking a taxi such that it may become viable for car owners to completely opt out of owning a car. But if 10 million people need to get to work parallel to each other what does it really matter if the

I remember when Amazon first announced the idea two years ago there was a lot of brainstorming in the hn comments and that idea was pretty popular. No idea if it influenced Amazon but would be cool if so. *found the thread https:/&#x2

What speakers/mic/battery/wifi dongle would be best to pair with this if I wanted to make my own open version of the Amazon Echo? I could see printing a 3D shell and selling a kit for $20 with the appeal of users being able t

I do not really see Mark as much of an innovator. He has said himself that he did not sell facebook early on because he did not think he'd have an idea as great and had no use for the money given his lifestyle. Innovation has come from

Hey really appreciate you taking the time to follow up. I agree with your points and I think it will take a bit of work to find those core building blocks that can be combined to achieve variety but should be worth it long term. It would be

Hey thanks for the suggestion, I think adding a crockpot to my kitchen will go a long way and ordering preparing the food myself will be much cheaper. Greatest concern is the prep time but I'll try and see.

I completely forgot about the response to aerial photography when it first came out. I remember having some concerns about the privacy implications and feeling 'exposed' on the internet that anyone could see my home. Funny how muc

Wow you know I always knew that Ultima Online had its predecessors in the Ultima series but never really researched them until now. Its blowing my mind right now to see the evolution of the games leading up to UO! Currently been working on

The reason that strikes me as most important is #2 "Letting Amazon focus on data center infrastructure allows our engineers to focus on building and improving our business." Too many companies roll their own solutions when they co

To me the idea of printing my own violin would be to get a cheap yet decently functional Violin. The price point of $70 is 2x what it needs to be in my opinion. Going on ebay there are entry level violins for $40. Would be cool to see an op

I feel like this could be tweaked into a very fun puzzle game that also teaches a bit about neuroscience.

The same way Amazon started by offering just books on its online store and then expanding, they are probably now doing the reverse with a physical book store..

So if the idea here is to incentivize developers to create apps that can be functional after only a 200Mb download is this approach the most efficient way to achieve that?

This is exactly how I feel about the pharmaceutical industry. The brain is such a vast and unknown universe and we're hitting it with wide hammers to see what will happen. Wasn't it just shown that Prozac did more harm than good?

haha that is a perfect example I think articles like op's are good in conditioning the HN crowd to be more aware of their own biases. Update your model of the world and continue on.

What fraction of the speed of light are electrons moving at in the most advanced silicon chip we have? Trying to understand how much speed is left on the table for us to pick up in serial processing?
