I have trouble typing on an ergonomic keyboard, otherwise I'd probably use it.

Incidentally, after years of proper piano training I feel like I hold my wrists in such a way that if I mostly keep typing, I won't strain my wrists too hard...and be able to type constantly all day. I only get pain in the wrists when using a Trackpad, surprisingly enough.
I've been using a Microsoft Natural Ergonomic keyboard for a long time and it's relieved a lot of wrist pains I used to have. I'm a little tentative to switch to something without a palm rest and without being able to position my hands farther apart.

This looks pretty good, though. I've been looking for a new mechanical keyboard for a while but haven't found anything that quite fits yet. Would love to hear some reviews once this gets out there.

1:44 These are those that were numbered, which Moses and Aaron
numbered, and the princes of Israel, being twelve men: each one was
for the house of his fathers.

1:45 So were all those that were numbered of the children of Israel,
by the house of their fathers, from twenty years old and upward, all
that were able to go forth to war in Israel; 1:46 Even all they that
were numbered were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five
hundred and fifty.

1:47 But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not
numbered among them.

1:48 For the LORD had spoken unto Moses, saying, 1:49 Only thou shalt
not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them among the
children of Israel: 1:50 But thou shalt appoint the Levites over the
tabernacle of testimony, and over all the vessels thereof, and over
all things that belong to it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and all
the vessels thereof; and they shall minister unto it, and shall encamp
round about the tabernacle.

1:51 And when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take
it down: and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall
set it up: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.

I hope to god Yahoo consciously decided to eschew the current trends of flat, minimal, content first design that is perpetuating through the industry. Windows Phone, iOS 7, and plenty of other leading UI designs are shedding the bloat and focusing on content first. If they didn't do it on purpose, it means they are still the old Yahoo. If they did, maybe they know something about their target demographic that I don't...

I stand my working time (for 3+ years now) behind a home made standing desk; when I feel the need to sit down, that's a break or end of the work day. Works really well.

As someone who has suffered from RSI, my advice is to not fix a problem you don't have. I've been there, and it just cost me money.

In my case, I didn't need a curved keyboard or a split keyboard, those things ended up in the cupboard. I just had to get rid of the numpad to change my position from awkward to healthy. So, for me, this keyboard is actually interesting, the variant without the numpad that is.
Ugh everything but Yahoo Finance.

I tried it and it didn't work for me. Hand size was wrong and the placement of the modifier keys was unintuitive. With my day-to-day usage, I couldn't come up with a mapping that fit my needs.

I once went there for a meeting. It's easy to miss the place because it's in a nondescript residential building in the middle of a somewhat iffy part of the Mission district.

I arrived in the middle of a confrontation that almost turned violent. I can't see how anyone could get work done in such a space but maybe I'm just an old fogie. The experience made me really appreciate what I have.

Honestly, if I were going to try to solve one problem with keyboards it would be to make cleaning them easier. This seems like a good keyboard and I may consider picking one up if both of my Das Keyboards fail me, but I'm not rushing to get one.
Culture is related to implicit and explicit memories shared by many people.

So (supposing that the results of this study can be generalized), yes, culture ends up imprinted in neuronal DNA, one cell at a time.

Since the imprinting is distributed and varies among the billions of neurons in your head it will not be passed to descendants (which inherit half a cell's worth of DNA).
I always find reverse engineering things made by people amusing. We could just, you know, ask someone.

It's like when a new iPhone comes out and they throw the custom silicon under electron microscopes. It's entertaining, and I'm sure fun for the people doing it, but fighting information wars against ourselves just seems silly.

There are large problems humans don't have answers to, but we're busy making things then figuring out how the things we made work. Madness ensues.
The majority of cultures and religions in human history are no longer around.

Joking aside... most of the societies that shared this belief tried to justify interest lending as morally dubious rather than presenting reasoned arguments as to why such a practice was unstable.

And perhaps they had a point. There's a difference between predatory lending to pilgrims at a temple and lending for an interest rate that's close to the expected time value of the money borrowed.

But extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. I'm inclined to side with today's economists.
I got a das keyboard at home and at work. Its awesome, and I'd recommend a mechanical to anyone who works on a keyboard for a living. I would never buy anything like this from Atwood, though. His 'expertise' in software, personal attacks on other developers and tedious self-promotion don't really convince me that he's got the know-how to get into hardware production, but rather that he's found a way to make money off his sycophantic fan-base of mediocre programmers who take his word as gospel.

Why does the numpad make your position awkward by its presence? Can't you just pretend it's not there? Every keyboard I've owned since the late 80s has had a numpad and I've hardly ever used it.

Oh never mind, I see your reply to the top post below now. Because it moves the mouse too far away.
I think the important question here is "Why on earth did they choose that registrar, for something so crucial?"

I agree and use the ThinkPad USB keyboard on my desktop machines - they are great ergonomically, especially if you ditch your mouse. It seems like the USB interface is super cheapie though with lots of missed key presses, or an occasional stuck key. I'd pay a premium for the ThinkPad form factor with higher quality electronics.
This website is down because the store owner stiffed the web designer.
Is there actually any evidence ergonomic keyboards reduce risk of RSI? Last time I looked into it it seemed like marketing fluff with no actual studies that backed it up.
When I saw the book mention below the first picture, I thought I misread and that this first picture was just the starting point before being inspired by code analysis found in the book. I imagined a new , more efficient, principled layout.
Not sure if it's the font or actual size of the letters, the labeling on the keys looks really, really small.

Apple/Lenovo have perfected keyboards in their laptops. It's been years since I've wanted an aftermarket one.
This keyboard looks awesome. Another mechanical keyboard that is very interesting is this new split-design one: http://ergodox.org
It's because it takes up space and puts the mouse further to the right. Tenkeyless fans like how you can have the mouse in a more comfortable place.
I don't think XBee is anywhere near that range. Plus, a Flutter is cheaper than an XBee shield + an Arduino.

Please, make claims based on things that are related topics.

If you were convinced that he was great at software, attacked nobody and never promoted himself, would you then be justified with evidence that he could get into hardware? Of course not.

I agree with you that this moves are money-motivated, which makes sense as I see him as a businessman first and foremost, but what you've said detracts from that point.

You have to move your hand more if there is a numerical part. Make the keyboard narrower and you reduce hand movements by a lot. And that helps.
Kinda crazy that the Europeans have decided that Obama is war mongering considering there is no possible American interest in getting into this mess, and just a few weeks ago the administration was arguing about the finer points of the meaning of the word 'chemical.'

EDIT: Ok so with respect to your insinuation about "American interests," honestly, I'd like to hear what you think they are. Obama called the situation in Libya a "shit sandwich," and as far as I can tell Syria is a shit hoagie. So I'd really like to know what can be gained in Syria other than brownie points from knowing we upheld the R2P.

With respect to Powell and Iraq, I'd observe that Kerry is not Powell, Obama is not Bush, Syria is not Iraq, and the evidence at hand isn't curveball and yellowcake. Bringing up Powell and Iraq while ignoring the particulars of that event and this event is sloppy reasoning.

I haven't personally seen any evidence that Obama "rushing to bomb" anyone. I've seen months and months of the Obama administration trying to figure out how they are going to wipe their hands of this mess, and a week of them deciding that they can't. But on the whole I agree that you can't "un-bomb" someone, but you also can't spool back a massacre, and you can't uphold the R2P after-the-fact. We learned that in Rwanda.
This geekdesk looks like the desk I have. My situation is much like the op.

I started really getting back/shoulder/arm pains a few years back, so I started standing up all day. In the beginning it was really hard, but after about one month you sorta get used to it and develop the necessary muscles.

Another thing I can recommend is getting one of the good standing mats. Best one I've found is this one:
http://www.kybun.com/products-and-stores/kybun-products/kybo...

They are comfortable standing on, and they make you change positition even more and excersize more different muscles in legs and knees.
Is it more the nature of the mistake or the trustworthyness of the Reuters organization that influences your opinion (or something else)?

I'm not saying this wasn't a mistake, but knowledge of things like "Operation Mockingbird" do carry weight with me. Do you know about this? It's crazy... (There's very much out there to read on this but here's the summary.)

"According to Alex Constantine (Mockingbird: The Subversion Of The Free Press By The CIA), in the 1950s, "some 3,000 salaried and contract CIA employees were eventually engaged in propaganda efforts". Wisner was able to constrain newspapers from reporting about certain events, including the CIA plots to overthrow the governments of Iran (see: Operation Ajax) and Guatemala (see: Operation PBSUCCESS)." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Mockingbird

If you're thinking that the mistake is such a small transgression that - "who would care?" Well...little tiny almost imperceivable things do matter, particularly to propagandists and to Pavlov's dog :) (Again - not saying that "I know" anything, but a non-infinitesimal possibility is definite IMO :)

It forced me to either move the keyboard too far to the left or the mouse too far the right, the former causing wrist pain in both hands, the latter causing pain in the right wrist.

So, what fixed my pain was the smaller keyboard, not the lack of a numpad. The numpad just happends to be a big, expendable chunk :)

One of the keyboards I got in order to fix this was a Microsoft ergonomic keyboard, which includes the numpad and is also wider than what I've used before. So getting an ergonomic keyboard actually made things worse in one case.

How to Choose a Startup Idea
I have a GeekDesk Pro and I would highly recommend it. GeekDesk's customer service is fantastic. Incidentally, I customized mine with a custom alder wood desktop, stained a kind of cedar color.

I change up standing and sitting a few times a day. You burn about 100 calories an hour just from standing, so standing for about 6 hours a day you burn an extra 600 calories. Makes a difference. Plus, much better for your posture and lower back.

However, you shouldn't be looking down at your monitor. It should be at eye level. A monitor arm can help with that.
As pretty as Jeff himself. I'm in for one.
so why does this need to be obfuscated? is it not possible to do this securely and transparently?
When pricing tools you have to consider the cost per time-unit, or cost per use. Looking at the total cost is a waste of time.

How often do you input text into a computer (or sleep in a bed, or whatever).

What is the hourly (or daily) cost of it over some reasonable timeframe (1 year, for example).

At what price point is owning a better tool worth it? (health wise, opportunity cost wise, etc).
I don't see how you'd get around the reason those houses were abandoned in the first place: They have more debt attached to them than they're worth. Buying the house at auction means that you'd be responsible for those debts. I doubt adverse possession would change that.

Even if the above were not true, or the debts could be forgiven, the buyer would still be responsible for property taxes, which means they'd need a revenue stream to avoid the government coming to repossess the land. That could be hard to work up.
Things missing from the Leopold:

1. Backlighting
2. Better Aesthetics
3. Cherry MX Clear switches

That's pretty much it. I personally don't think it's worth the 50 dollar premium when I'm just fine with MX Browns.

Unless you are a real estate pro, it is utter folly to rent your house out in SF due to the many provisions of the Ellis Act.

http://www.sftu.org

In here you will find so many overly tenant-friendly rules and rights that unless you can afford a really great lawyer to help you navigate them, it's easy for small time landlords to get screwed over hard. This probably means you.

I'm sure these rules were all instituted for good reasons, but IMO they've become an inane and insane entitlement

I witnessed their effect personally some years ago when one of the creators of bittorrent invoked the Ellis Act on an ex-girlfriend of mine who wanted to take the top floor of her house off the rental market. He nearly drove her to bankruptcy.

I'm not saying this is what always happens, but just seeing it occur once is more than enough to persuade one to never ever even consider being a landlord there.
I agree that with small hands, reaching the number row of a Kinesis advantage can be a challenge (I use one for my RSI issues, and I'm right at the threshold of hand size)

Yeah, you're right that was probably a bit harsh given that I'm just running from what I've heard from others, and the fact that last year they were still charging $150 for registration. But who am I to know - I don't want to be one of those token HN trolls who pays out on people for the sake of it so I retract my initial comment.
Nissan Expects to Market Self-Driving Cars by 2020
I switched my mouse over to the left side of my keyboard (despite being decidedly right-handed) to avoid the numberpad issue. In the end I still had to ditch straight keyboards to avoid RSI.

(I've since gotten a keyboard without a numberpad and switched back, but I can still use a left-handed mouse pretty well. It's one step below having a trackball as far as confusing people who try to use my computer goes. :P)

Maybe you would try nimrod language, it's similar to go but a bit more functional, and it has generics and the concurrence is managed using actors (also supports channel's) , and rust also is a good language for functional programmers trying to find a good system language...

Go language is so different to scala or Haskell because it follow the principle what a simple language is better than a complex one (the less powerful principle). The type system is a bit weak in go, probably one simplest type system ever, nimrod has a basic oop joining with algebraic data types and something similar to clojure multi methods, rust I believe has type classes..... So yes, I if you're happy writing functional code and using powerful languages maybe you will not totally happy with go language...
I'm glad you stayed away from other ARM Cortex chips with TrustZone and SecureOS installed. I see the propriety chip you use for radio is pretty simple. Are there other proprietary systems on here?

Also, I don't feel comfortable donating before a finalized hardware design is reached. I feel the potential for bait-and-switch is too high and no words will convince me otherwise due to the nature of crowd-sourcing EULA, sorry.
I love ergonomic keyboards too, but they're extremely specialized. A mass market keyboard needs to appeal to as many folks as possible, and using the "classic" standard keyboard layout is the best way to do that.

There is a tenkeyless option if that helps, and there is room at the front for a wrist rest that can be periodically replaced as it wears.
