How much is this?

That was quick indeed :)

getting 500

Very interesting insights on Ember. I am currently getting hands on with Meteor and found it interesting. Was there any discussion on whether Meteor suits your purposes?

Nice. Good to see this data.

The site is down.

On Mac 15 inch, visualization is very neat. very good implementation of the algorithms. Regarding Zyxley's comments; this can be made responsive so that it works on all screen sizes.

Github? seriously?

Good move. Will we see Dropbox part of MS soon?

I am amazed by Google more and more each day.

Would this tell where the bathrooms are located and how long will it take you to get there and back? May be that will help to decide to leave or not. Imaginne getting notifications from the bathroom that you have a stall available to Run and Pee :D

really?

Very cool. This could be the holygrail for live streaming. Unfortunately Qik was retired. Good job.

How is this useful when we live in a Googlized world?

Very nice. Will give it a try.

good one mitch.

Congratulations!

why cloning hackernews?

ok now. a satirical comment. :)

very good. now take this and create a company that improves your health while washing your clothes. Affluent people will buy. In my earlier days, we used to use something called as "hands" to wash clothes.

Notational is the best.

Guys, this is science fiction getting real and this is kick ass. This is awesomeness. Kudos to JB. And I think this would work without having any big issues. Reasons are:

1. Amazon will wait for the FAA approval before deploying this . This means, the max. weight a copter can carry at any given time would be limited. As some one said, if AMZ starts shipping heavier packages beyond a certain limit there is a risk that it might be dropped and causes injury or death.

2. AMZ would not deliver it across cities. Pls. see the video. It's mentioned that it would be within 30 mins of pressing buy button. This means the radius of the delivery is controlled and monitored from either the fulfillment centers or a central control center.

3. Consider attaching a video camera for delivering the goods. It would also record the whole delivery process for many aspects. It would have a visual footage of who picked it up, whether it was delivered to the correct location etc. This covers legal aspects as well.

4. People would love to have this way of things delivered to them since they would save a lot of time going to the store, spending on gas, waiting in lines etc. oh..btw, this is good environment too. Less gas usage.

Now, the question is how would UPS, FedEx and USPS react to this? They would still be delivering the goods via road to drone inaccessible locations. What if the weather doesn't permit? Would not AMZ have a back up plan of delivering only to the places where weather is not bad? Why would they send the drone into a tornado effected area? Think my fellow HN readers. Think.

Now, the next aspect is security. Can someone spoof the GPS location and re-route the packages? May be. If that's the case, the video recording would help as mentioned earlier.

Walmart, you listening?

Thanks for the comment and the link. Considering the situation the market has been since some time resulted in my prediction. I am not saying we would be stuck with DRM alone. Some sort of protection mechanism will be in place. The problem is that we cannot compare music industry to video or broadcast industry. The amount of money involved in each of these industries varies much. The expensive your product is you would want to protect it.
