Gypsy jazz (also known as gypsy swing or hot club jazz) is a style of jazz music often said to have been started by guitarist Jean "Django" Reinhardt in the 1930s.[1] Because its origins are largely in France it is often called by the French name, "jazz manouche", or alternatively, "manouche jazz", even in English language sources

An astounding 450 million smartphones will ship in China in 2014, which amounts to approximately a third of worldwide shipments.

China is a tantalizing target for Apple, Microsoft and Google.<p>Microsoft VP of Advertising and Online Frank Holland said: "We are going to spend a lot of time in the next 12 months building a real presence on the low-end smartphone market with developing countries."

Ask HN: Which of your degrees was most difficult/required the most intelligence?
I have had numerous discussions with peers about which area of study was the most difficult/required the most intelligence to achieve a degree-level of knowledge.

There are many (understatement) ways to measure difficulty/intelligence and unfortunately people with the most narrow collegiate/academic/etc. focus often have the most closed minded view on the topic. What are the experiences of people who have multiple degrees – especially with minimal subject overlap.

Notes:

• By degree I mean degree or equivalent degree-level of structured knowledge acquisition. Also, I am referring to various levels of degree – Minor, Undergrad, Masters, PhD., etc.

• I am using difficult/required intelligence/etc. in the broadest sense possible. I am interested in other ways people might measure or quantify the challenges required to obtain a degree level of knowledge in any field.

Review my startup
http://www.couchster.com/
My startup is closing in on its launch, and we've decided to do a front end redesign while certain issues on the back end get wrapped up (let's just say our original designer was admittedly not a front-end expert by any stretch). We have a designer lined up, and we're leaning towards adopting a responsive web design as part of the redesign process. This is probably our best opportunity to make any major changes before things really ramp up, so getting a fresh perspective on what we should consider changing, adding, subtracting, etc at this point would be immensely beneficial. So what say you HN, what glaring issues are we missing because we look at this site everyday?

Boo or C#?
I am starting to use Unity3D. The language choices are Javascript, C# and Boo. It seems that Boo is a programming language for .NET with a syntax similar to Python. Do you have any experience working with Boo? How does it compare to C# performance wise? I guess that the code is more readable and compact with Boo than with C#, so, if they have similar performance, Boo would be a better choice for Unity3D projects?

Facebook Had A Huge Drop In Traffic Last Month (but it doesn't matter..)

"The decline is due to a US-wide change in our weighting methodology based on newer US Census data," Lipsman told Business Insider in an email. "The decline is due to that, not organic reasons.""

I just find it interesting that the story was published and given that headline given the comment from comscore.

High School Entrepreneurs 
https://rafflecreator.com/pages/1546/east-coast-economics
Hi, I'm part of a group of student entrepreneurs from The Montessori High School at University Circle. At Montessori High School, every year the school has two week periods called x-terms. These are student planned, organized, and funded projects. Everything is up to the student. The idea behind it is to encourage experiential learning. So far, we have raised over $30,000 to fund these experimental learning terms. This year, we are trying to do it again. We'll be spending one week here in Cleveland, working on internal projects and ideas for personal business ventures, then traveling to Chicago to meet with leading professionals to help us bring our ideas to life.

Show HN: Lago: Open-source metering and usage-based billing
https://github.com/getlago/lago
At Lago, we strongly believe that billing, whether it's subscription-based, usage-based or hybrid, is still a nightmare for engineers. Many of the existing billing engines are home-made, painful to build and maintain. Billing shouldn't require a dedicated team within your companies, or hours per week of maintenance. It should be easy to track, price and experiment usage.

Our vision is to help your company switch to usage-based billing easily.

Our open-source project lets you set up any types of pricing in hours, not months. Lago is particularly useful for hybrid, usage-based or per-seat pricing. It's also incredibly flexible for metering.

Petition for President Obama to read 3 Felonies a Day
https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/read-book-3-felonies-day-chronicle-prosecutorial-overreach-department-justice/gpHshPps
I am petitioning President Obama to pick up the book "3 Felonies a Day". It is a chronicle of people who have been targeted by federal prosecutors for felonious crimes that they had no idea they were committing and who had zero reason to believe that they were committing a crime.

These people were shown no mercy in court despite their situation being more than understandable.

Prosecutorial overreach is a serious issue facing this country and if the Obama Administration is interested in true justice, the President will pick this book up and start making some changes.
