I'm not sure about that. This guy has gone through some extremes. First he was standing 8 hours a day, no workout. Then he was sitting 12 hours a day, no workout. Then he got into bodybuilding using lots of machines which made him gain lots of muscles and finally he scales back to something I would call "normal": a healthy workout of 30min per day but... with some no-training gaps in between which can be several months long? I'm glad that he found his own routine but why did it take him so many years of going through extremes and now he's advertising his method like the only truth but still not sticking to the basics like eating healthy?
I agree! It's truly overpriced. I have expected a cheapish, not groundbreakingly, but still, cheapish mechanical keyboard as it was presented by some programmer, not a company that is going for money money money all the way.

But looking at the price, you could easily get a Das Keyboard Model S with Blue/Red/Brown (your choice!) keyswitches and also, there's a discount during the school-preparation period.
I'll recommend Dan John's book "Intervention" because I think his approach to fitness for individuals covers a good chunk of the HN crowd.

Personally, I have always been active and fit, but the reality of getting older and being part of a startup have made me fine-tune my regiment. I'd never been a gym rat, but having the time in school to spend 1.5-2 hours preparing for my sports seems ever the luxury today. Since the New Year (and the purchase of a road bike), I've been following a pretty consistent routine of biking to work (ranges between 4 and 6 km depending on the route I take), lifting at the gym for 30-45 minutes, and attending yoga classes at least twice weekly (one weekday evening class and one weekend morning class typically). I also play in a men's basketball league one night a week for most of the year. This provides the core of my activity; I can usually be found hiking, surfing, playing pickup soccer or basketball, and pretty much anything else active at various points too (which the core work supports and enhances).

My gym sessions consist of 20 minutes of mobility exercises, moving all the joints in all the ranges of motion they should enjoy, followed by a focused "workout", usually 10-15 minutes long. They are almost exclusively full body movements, sometimes done with low reps and heavy weight (such as double kettlebell clean and jerks, 4 sets of 5), sometimes complexes (such as 4 sets of (3-5 pull ups then 10-15 pushups)), and sometimes Crossfit-style workouts (5 burpees, 10 kettlebell snatch (5 per arm), 15 mountain climbers, and 20 kettlebell swings (10 per arm); repeat until you can't).

For my training, I have three simple steps (stolen from Dan John):
1. Do Something
2. Adjust
3. Perfect

Anyway, that's my me-too to add to the OP.
Tons of resellers on aliexpress.com. Note that they are shipped direct from China, so reading feedback is essential. You can also find some that sell via Amazon marketplace.
Yes, that's the trend for the last years... writing code with the mouse _shrugs_ ;)
Rifles were being made on assembly lines out of standard parts long before cars existed.

Any time I see a comment like this, I know for a fact that someone does not understand what an assembly line is, nor why the invention of one was important.

An assembly line is a method of production where workers stand still, and the parts that they need come to them at the rate that they will be putting them together. This is vastly superior to previous modes of production because you eliminate all of the time people spend walking around trying to find the next thing that they need. Before the introduction of the assembly line, workers normally spent more time walking than assembling. After the introduction, workers spent more time assembling.

That said, the assembly line was not entirely a novel production. The closest predecessor was in the Chicago meatpacking industry where it took the form of a disassembly line - cows went in one end and standard cuts of meat came out the other. But using it for assembly of complex machinery was still a significant innovation, and Henry Ford deserves full credit for it.

It certainly was not simply applying widely known standardization techniques with interchangeable parts such as was pioneered in the rifle industry and had been predicted by Adam Smith in Wealth of Nations with an example involving pins.
I've had that happen a number of times. I'd start a regular call, Skype, or Hangouts call, and when done I sometimes realize some random app was launched or something was selected, etc. Doesn't happen often, but it did happen.
sarcasm my friend...
I agree however looking forwards the brand could grow sufficiently large to gain this enhanced protection. I think even if this did happen Apple would be unlikely to enforce overly harshly but their stance on the App Store mark goes some way to show their approach to TM enforcement (though the discussion over the distinctiveness is another discussion!)
Then the question becomes, is it more beneficial to make it difficult to find vulnerabilities, or make it easier and fix it when found.

However, if the rise in average incomes in the US over the past thirty or forty years were more evenly distributed among the working population, and not just concentrated at the top, many people would probably choose to work much less.

People work to support themselves, but I would wager that most would work less to support themselves if they could earn enough to do so.

Lead Full Stack Engineer at Dreamforge (3D printing software)
YCS12 startup seeks talented full stack web developer to help pioneer 3d printing software. You must be able to code C++ and Javascript quickly, and be able to build scalable, performant systems. Ideally, you have a BS or MS in computer science - but you mainly need to get things done in a fraction of the time of most people you know. Preference for someone who knows Node and Rails well, but not required.

Except a driven work environment, with talented coworkers (with strong Stanford roots), and a tiny team. You'll get your feet knee deep in 3D printing, be proud to show off our product to your family and friends, and hopefully make a ding in the universe. You'll basically own our entire system.

Warning: Our tech is not easy, but it means interesting technical challenges if you join, and a polyglot of languages.

Send a few project links and your Github to ndalal AT dreamforge.me if interested.
I don't understand why "no removable storage" implies that you'd have to use a cloud provider? Why not just use the fixed internal storage?
Even without Methylation, we have another mechanism for passing on traits to offspring, raising them. Admittedly, there are many species where this is not relevant, but for species where the young live with their parents, or other members of the older generation, it seems reasonable that information and traits could be passed by cross generation interactions.

The most obvious example of this is humans, who have minimal (if any) genetic advantage over cave-men. I suspect we can find simmilar instances in other species.
If you're the paper of record, yes.

Here's how Google Palestine was hacked; local root server confirms repair
So far what muslim terrorists have done a couple of times is to sneak explosives onto a few planes and fail miserably (shoebomber etc.), or storm the cockpit, or blow up bomb far away from airports (Boston bomber, '93 WTC bombing etc.). The storming the cockpit scenario was rendered totally pointless to try again after 9/11, and the explosives attempts have been rather weak.

Overall, bombs and shoot-outs not related to planes at all has been responsible for the vast majority of the most lethal terrorist attacks in the US apart from 9/11, both if you look at muslim terrorists separately, and other attacks in recent history.
It's hard to believe that Apple could get this through in the US given the amount of live marks with the word STARTUP. Over 50 results!

I have been working on a trademark application that was rejected preliminary basis on the grounds of "likelihood of confusion." (My mark is HOTKEY MATRIX for a hardware controller of audio software, the existing mark is HOT KEYS for "Computer Software program for playback of digital audio by touching computer screen.)

I was a little shocked when I delved into the various rulings how byzantine and nuanced the judgements are. Since the core issue is the potential for likeliness of confusion on the part of a consumer, each case is supposed to be judged on its own.

If your into this kind of thing here's the discussion on the US "Trademark Manual of Examining Procedure."

I wonder if there is some strategy by which getting registration in other countries helps with getting US registration.

My point was that the amount of money spent on R&D does not matter. Apple came up with iPhone and iPad anyway.
Your point is? That R&D is apples and R&D is oranges?
I wouldn't call what I did or even what I do as "extreme". Far from it. Taking steroids and growth hormone is extreme. Lifting weights and enjoying it to the point where you want to better yourself at it? I don't see it as extreme.

I also do not go several months without working out often. I did it during a shoulder surgery recovery and again earlier this year. I agree that is not a good idea, but life does get in the way sometimes and I was just pointing out that I'm no different than other people in that aspect.

I also wouldn't advocate that my way is the one true way. I will say that my results are probably pretty typical of what most people may experience when they actually decide to exercise.

You think Apple is shady, I think Google is no less shady, maybe more, given their business model.
What Proof of Stake Is And Why It Matters
Who cares? Part of the reason why I've taken to buying these is that they're cheap enough that I can justify upgrading once a year or so.

(But yes, don't expect to get much in terms of upgrades from the manufacturer. Your mileage may wary, but the ones that do upgrade regularly, like Xiaomi, are also expensive high end brands - Xiaomi wants very much to be the "Chinese Apple" for example)
"We all tend to overestimate the situational factors in our failures and overestimate the individual factors in our successes."

I recall reading somewhere that attribution of the factors differed by culture, with the people in the US generally blaming themselves for what happens in their life, and Europeans tending more toward external factors. Unfortunately I couldn't find the source, so take it with a grain of salt.
I've run both linux and OS X as my default setups (currently linux), and I have to say, OS X does a lot of things better. I like linux better overall, but that's just too strong a statement. Here's a few that OS X does better:

-- Font anti-aliasing.

-- Package management - people using linux should be expected to be able to compile from source, I know, but at least most packages released for Mac OS X are developed with binaries.

-- Graphics card drivers, specifically Nvidia (which Mac ships with).
Thanks for this. I'm not sure what has happened to my server all of the sudden, it has handled loads bigger than what I was getting from posting this article. However, it has literally taken a jump off of a cliff.
As you said many things happened in the meantime and you should not stay on your 2009 impressions. Besides, Please mention the distribution you used, there is no "single Linux Experience", just like you don't compare Windows 8 and windows XP as being a single brand of "Windows". For your particular comments:

1. Not an issue anymore in most recent distributions, and Nvidia is now supporting even the latest graphics cards on Linux.
2.3. I can't comment on that.
4. On Ubuntu and many other distros they now work out of the box.
If you want to download a mindstate, you will almost have to deal with details at a molecular level. I am not familiar with the details of how the brain works, but consider that their is likely a huge evolutionary advantage to storing data more densely.
I am a Filco 10 keyless and wouldn't go back. I find it crazy that we have this 5" of obligatory keyboard everywhere as through everyone really needs a specialised desk calculator. Its where the mouse is meant to go!

The only drawback I have found is some 3d modelling tools assume a keypad in their default settings. Obv. you can remap the keys but its not as natural and makes following tutorials harder. If I were to use these more I would consider purchasing an external keypad but not to permanently give up such prime desk real estate for it.
I am shutting down my startup and here is what I learned along the way
I watched about 20 minutes, but I do feel like this video has an agenda. It goes on about how the Federal Reserve System is a private corporation that makes a profit. That's true, but the board members (and other key positions) are selected by the President of the United States and confirmed by the Senate, and all the profits are transferred to the US Treasury. The video wants you to think Lehman Brothers (evil) when it's really like the Post Office (benign).
I think you are referring to "re-make". Re-invent is not re-make. You can re-make, but you shouldn't re-invent.
Apple attempts to trademark the word 'startup'
I am recently out of College, and I don't have a job, so let me see if I can give you an example of the curve, and clarify why your expectations seem to be wrong.

I don't know where I would have used CentOS (I'd guess bash is the default interactive shell, but I don't know for sure).

Most people in Linux classes would use Putty on Windows to log into the school machine. I installed Linux Mint, other's used bash on Mac OS X, and I know of one guy who ran Arch. That puts us slightly ahead of the curve.

So I know local bash commands. I know enough make to compile my c code with a Makefile that I copy and modify. As

I have to look up ssh and rsync options. When would I, as a student, really be doing stuff across linux machines? I have picked up a bit of bash scripting (helped by the fact that I learned perl, and perl is closer to bash then you would think), but that's less than usual. Most people who know Python script in python and so on, and may ignore linux commands and pipelining in favor of their preferred language's built in's.

The Zend thing is a little weird, but most people going into entry level jobs expect to learn the specific framework on the job. Hell sometimes the specific language. I don't know if I would list Zend on my resume if I had only that guy's experience, but a course in OO PHP is pretty specific for a college course. Unless Zend is driving PHP usage like Rails did for Ruby, The guy expected to be able to demonstrate the capacity to learn it and understanding of the underpinnings (PHP and OO), not actually how to do it. Apparently that guy got an interview, and more modest people probably didn't.

I certainly list Perl and will say I can do OO Perl code, but I have never used Moose, just old fashioned blessed hashes.

At entry level, you should hire the person, not the skills. Have they written code for something outside of a school project? Have they written code for their personal use? Are they still learning? Can they articulate their understandings of relevant concepts clearly? Can they program something in their preferred language and one or two more to show the ability to generalize?

A good entry level candidate can do most (but not necessarily all) of the above.

Entry is about talents, not skills, and that's what you should be looking for.

Maybe my expectations aren't par for the course where you are, but remember that the best candidates, the guys who have been programming since they were 8 and write their own lisp compilers, they have jobs lined up before they graduate.

You can always contact professors at local schools who teach classes relevant to your job openings, and ask them what gets a good grade, and what is an average grade.

Calibrate your expectations. Expect people who aren't qualified will try to get the interview anyway. Expect that people won't know as much as you, or even as much as you did when you were just graduated.
For arbitrarily structured data, document databases are great. Of course, this isn't specific to MongoDB.
If you can find it $1 retail, wholesale is fractions of that price. (some parts can even be 1/10 the price)
No, it's because if a worker works 8h/day, and produces X, given a new technology that double his productivity, he is now expected to still work 8h/day, and produce 2X.
I'm curious. By what mechanism and on what timeline do you think that QE will end?

Yes, I'm aware that it is promised to be temporary. I'm also aware of how the markets freaked out not long ago when Bernanke hinted that the Fed might consider exiting QE2 ahead of schedule if the economy continued to recover faster than expected. (This very innocuous statement was quickly retracted.)

It is therefore clear that the markets have no expectation that there will be an exit from the policy any time soon. And people that I've talked to on Wall St do not see a viable way to do it short of currency collapse.
There are plenty of niche mechanical keyboard manufacturers. They even sell these kinds of keyboards as gaming keyboards now so it's not that niche. I got a Ducky which is a Taiwanese company that makes hundreds of different variations of this type of keyboard.

You can choose which Cherry switches you want and the length and pretty much anything you can imagine.
4.1. No upgrades, and I don't expect any, though there are custom roms (haven't bothered, though I have rooted it - most of these phones are beyond trivial to root). Essentially I'm expecting to upgrade every year, as e.g. in a year it's gone from about $230 for my dual core phone with 1280x720 to about the same for a quad core with 1920x1080 with more memory etc., so I don't really care if there are few or no upgrades for the phone - the reduction in my contract compared to getting an expensive brand phone easily pays down the phone in 6-8 months.

If you intend to keep a phone even at this price range for more than 1-2 years, you'll want to do your research both regarding build quality and upgrades. Though the brands with regular upgrades and "premium" build quality, like Xiaomi, are also pretty much as expensive as e.g. Samsung.
Cater to naive users. I say this as someone who particularly dislikes Apple's way of doing things, but who still recommends OSX to naive users.

Something goes wrong with linux? Better hope there's a congenial neckbeard around, and if it's a hardware problem, good luck to you. In OSX? A larger online presence, and then of course you can always take it into a "genius" bar... and they replace the hardware gratis often enough.
Standing desk user for like 5 years or so, I also use a stool.

My computers are at standing eye level, I use a high stool for myself, and a lower stool for my legs.

Very important: I use plain sole slippers so my posture and muscles adapt to naked feet. Your muscles will adapt to whatever you use for hundreds of hours. If you always use shoes with heels you won't be able to use other things, and your back muscles will develop a strange posture for balancing your body, which will make your knees suffer. It is also much better for transpiration, no fungus, no odor.

At first I was the only one to use slippers at work, now everybody at my place does.

Over half of my time I stay on my stool, with my legs on the other stool, over half I stand up.

I love it, why? My back is always straight in both cases. You became stronger, your body is activated when standing up, as there is a reflex to relax when sitting down, when you stand up your heart needs more pressure, it is the natural thing to do for humans, we are designed for that.

BEWARE: If you try it, and you have trained your body to sit down for years it will take you at least 3 to 4 months for your new musculature to develop, so you need to plan a transition strategy. Buy a stool and go step by step.

> Evidence based reasoning coming from a future medical doctor i guess ...

Precisely. What is your problem with this? Chiropractic is a pseudo-profession. It is well established in scientific fields as a pseudo-profession and it has done very little to try and shed this image, besides making ad-homenim (if you can call it that) attacks against the rest of science screaming of prejudice.

You wouldn't hire a pseudo-coder to build a program for you and you shouldn't pay a pseudo-doctor to treat you.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say you didn't even look at my references (that you asked for) regarding chiropractic.
That's okay. I understand you are a 'true believer', are not going to look at resources I have provided, and are not even really debating whether or not chiropractic is a worthwhile field of human endeavour; instead we are debating your belief. And I just want to say I am not challenging your belief, you are free to believe whatever you want. But I am not, in fact, suffering from Dunning-Kruger in this instance; I am not unskilled, in fact my entire tertiary study (10 years worth now) has been in science and healthcare. and the balance of evidence is against your position; which is what I supported tghw on; and was communicating to the greater audience on HN, including yourself.

To continue to claim that I am attacking chiropractic because I 'dont know' or 'don't believe' is an empty statement, because I understand the available evidence, and my statements in these posts have been consistent with the published scientific concensus.
It's not really a stool, but a high chair, with a back and armrests ... may not be using the right word.
It's better to be rich and healthy than sick and poor.

Obviously if you exercise it doesn't really matter if you sit or stand at work. The question is how to handle the case when you can't/won't exercise and still need to work.
Just because an organization has members/affiliates in a government does not make that organization part of the government.
