Ask HN: Programming lang built for static analysis?
Some languages are more easy to perform Static Analysis on than others. Techniques such as reflection and meta programming can make Static Analysis difficult, while explicit type systems can make tooling easier.

Static Analysis can help find errors, allow code completion, etc etc.

I'm wondering, how would you order commercial languages on a scale of easiest to hardest to analyze? And does there exist a language that has been built with the goal of providing tooling? Java comes to mind, but I'm not sure if the ease of Static Analysis was intended from the beginning or just a side-effect of Javas verboseness?

Ask HN: How low is too low-level programming?
It used to be that real programmers programmed in Hex/Assembly, then FORTRAN, and now I'd probably say C.
And now with web-based apps, cloud computing and distributed systems, will the current low-level languages remain relevant to the average software developer?

Customize Your Scrollbars with CSS3 and jQuery
http://codegeekz.com/customize-your-scrollbars-with-css3-and-jquery/
Looking back in the day where IE 5.5, the Internet Explorer team introduced a set of non-standard CSS properties that allows users to customize scrollbars using the scrollbar-base-color from which you can use to make elements scroll. That’s being said, it is now much easier to do it using HTML5 and CSS3. Webkit now supports styling of the scrollbars in overflow sections, drop-down, menus and text areas.

Why WhatsApp is worth $19 billion
http://money.cnn.com/2014/02/20/technology/social/whatsapp-19-billion/index.html?hpt=hp_t1
WhatsApp may be "cheaper" than most rivals: Facebook paid just $30 per Instagram user at the time (the service had 33 million users when Facebook bought it, compared to 150 million today). Facebook is spending $42 per WhatsApp user.
But given WhatsApp's enormous user base, its purchase price might be a bargain compared some of its competitors. LinkedIn's (LNKD) share price values that professional social network at $153 per user. Twitter trades at $140 per user, and Facebook is at $123. Even at its latest $2 billion valuation, Snapchat trades at $50 per user. (And Snapchat reportedly turned down a $3 billion offer from Facebook last year.)

Show HN: Berseo – A rental marketplace for ebikes escooters and other vehicles
https://berseo.io/
Hi everyone!

Berseo is a rental marketplace for personal electric vehicles like ebikes, escooters and EUCs.

I came across the problem after travelling to Philadelphia. There are no on street rentals. The only way I was able to get around the city was by car, by foot or borrowing my friend's ebike. Borrowing the ebike turned out to be great! So I decided to build a rental marketplace for personal electric vehicles.

Even if you don't own an ebike or escooter or you aren't interested in listing your vehicle right now I would love to hear your feedback! Also feel free to ask any questions about electric vehicles.

Signs of the time
https://lockbin.com/Home/FAQ
Lockbin is a secure messaging system. They just updated their FAQ to respond to persistent user questions about the NSA. Another sign of the time about how U.S. companies are being maligned by NSA spying.

Text follows

Will your comply with police demands to turn over my messages?
All Lockbin.com data is stored within the United States. As a U.S. company, we are obligated to comply with legal court orders asking for information. If legally demanded, we must supply your encrypted documents and meta data to investigators. Lockbin does not have a back door and so we are unable to supply decryption keys for your documents.

I don't feel comfortable hosting my data in the U.S.
Many people have expressed this sentiment to us recently, especially our friends in Europe. We are currently looking for partners in France, Germany, U.K. and Netherlands and other countries who would be willing to work with us to setup and manage locally hosted versions of Lockbin. We will keep you posted as our localization project continues. Should we take on local partners, you will see them announced here; if they are not listed here, they are not genuine.

Has the NSA tapped your servers?
Since publication of news that some U.S. companies have provided direct access of their servers to the government, we have fielded questions like this many times. As of this week, no government authority has demanded access to our servers, nor have we been asked to accommodate any government surveillance of Lockbin users. If the time comes when such a demand is made, we would likely be prevented from telling you about it. However, we could not in good conscience continue to publicly maintain this claim, as we are doing right now.
