   Don't forget, no matter what you quote them, procurement will want to bring the price down 40-50%, just because that's what they do...

   Good on you sama. This is one of those "for future generations" quests. It's nice to see people proactively shooting for the stars.

   I care about safety and I have kids. I routinely drive SF to Orange County with 1 gas stop in the middle. 260 miles at free way speeds is 3.5-4 hrs. Not a huge deal. I often burn through a tank of gas before stopping ~400 miles. It's n

   I'd wager most HN readers can't relate to the day to day experience of most people in this country.

   I don't think he was implying off roading. Just a road trip. They did show it pulling an airstream with 10 bags of luggage. Surely they weren't implying a trip down the street. Camping is [typically] done in more remote areas, lik

   Certification in your sense is conforming to a certain standard. This is extortion. Basically "conforming" is paying. That's extortion. Pay are demands or no soup for you.

    We've used SketchDeck several times. Once for a powerpoint deck, but other times for other public facing documents / one pagers.

    This is pretty awesome looking. I have hours and hours of gopro footage, and no edited video to show for it. Target demographic here.

    Out of curiosity, and on a similar note, is Spotify not paying artists during their "3 months for $0.99 promotional period"? I guess that would explain why her 1989 album isn't there either... At least she's consistent.

    360Fly has a single 360 camera (shipping this year). Much more consumer friendly but similar concept. https://360fly.com/

    I like my original Pebble quite a bit. My use case might be different than most. I don't wear [edit: traditional] watches. Ever. Aside from a Pebble, I don't own a watch. I wear it when I travel, when I'm out and about meetin

    Raising $30m and selling $30m of product are different things. That said, Pebble has raised more than $30m [1]. [1] https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/pebble

    At least on iOS, they have to ask to use location services. Granted, it doesn't say "so we can tell your contacts exactly where you are..." but for iOS users at least, the default should always be "No" when an app a

    Selling to enterprise isn't about product or features (or price). It's about selling a value that comes from process change. Communicate the value you bring. And realize it takes time. Someone has to want to do this enough to get

    Uber hasn't exited, so that argument has no basis. Can maybe compare to whatsapp... and that's probably what investors did.

    I don't use the web client. On my mac, I installed the desktop client, and that seemed to work fine for the 30 or so gb I did per batch. On the phones I backed up 2 phones, each with about 10gb of photo/video.

    Seems like Sam has all 3 of your points "intelligence, experience and perspective" - or does experience only get quantified in years?

    30 or not, there is plenty of wisdom in his years. He's done a lot in his short time, more than many will do in twice as long. Plus 20 (and 30 somethings) would rather here from a determined successful peer, than someone far older.

    Just started using Amazon's cloud offering. Don't mind it... it's not perfect, but it's simple. Coupled with prime it's affordable. Easily back up multiple devices, videos, etc.

    The main reason being that I can easily save images/video easily. Links are easy enough with alternate ways.
