I'm pretty sure not all Europans have decided anything. Let's just say at least I'm not in a hurry to bomb places, that's something that you can always do but never undo and I recall a speech by one Colin Powell in front of the UN that turned out to be a little less than honest afterwards.

Wars are easy to get into hard to get out of, you break it you own it. What American interests are is sometimes harder to see than one would wish and the eagerness with which wars are entered into is something to be suspicious of in and of itself.

Breaking trust is a tricky thing, it's hard to mend afterwards and nothing better to distract from politically inconvenient news than a good old war. There is no B3 bomber.

Regarding your edit: I'm just advocating caution and not rushing to conclusions here until the facts are in and properly verified. You seem intent on pushing me into one camp or another, I have no dog in the race but I have an innate distrust for overly convenient and otherwise hard to explain occurrences. I have a very hard time believing that Assad would not be aware of what the consequences of gassing his own people would be, as well as of some of the hard to verify facts around this particular instance. It's true that a massacre can't be unwound but I feel that if we're going to go in based on that case that we should at least have the patience to wait until the ink on the report documenting that case has dried.

Syria is a flashpoint in the middle-east bordering Israel, Turkey and Jordan, has strong Russian and Iranian support. The Iranians have an absolutely enormous army that sits a mere stones throw away.

Igniting a war there rather than what is right now a civil war could have far reaching consequences and might make the Iraq war look like a picnic.

If the gas attack was real and orchestrated with the support of Assad then the Russians and the Iranians will likely drop their support. If a war gets started (potentially making it impossible to ever find out what happened beforehand) it could easily get out of hand.

I don't want to take anything away from Jeff, good for him for realizing his dream. But claiming that this is the best keyboard for programmers is an overstatement if I ever heard one.

Yes, it's mechanical, yes it has backlit keys and you can do some customizations. But where is everything else? Why are the keys still in the zig-zag formation? Why is the enter key so small? Why is the enter key on the right, where I have to use my pinky to hit it? Ever heard about ergonomics? Can I get one with DVORAK layout printed on? And so on and so forth.

If you want to create the best keyboard for programmers then create one that won't kill our wrists and hands.
Fun fact: the GNU/Linux Dropbox client is licensed under the GPL. I don't know if the article was referring to it though.
To mash up a few other comments, the main thing Henry Ford invented was the business model of the original Ford Motor Company: Pay workers well (better than average for the time), have them do assembly line labor for six and a half days a week, absolutely standardize on a single product, and sell that product cheaply enough your own workers can afford it.

Cars were invented multiple times, including electric cars, before Ford showed up. Rifles were being made on assembly lines out of standard parts long before cars existed. Being a tyrannical jackass with a perfectionist streak, while perfected by Jobs, was certainly nothing new. Ford just mashed those together along with a framed picture of Hitler and it all worked.
Right, but most of us can buy any wireless keyboard, or even get a cool remote/keyboard combo, but a good ergo mechanical backlit keyboard for not a million dollars? nah.
Who stiffed who is relative and incredibly debatable, did you see that site? Looks like a mashup of ad banners.

jokes aside, where is the backstory? Not that this is news but it 'ould be an interesting story and experience dealing with difficult customers which i dont actually have to deal with is always welcome.
Does Dropbox not use Amazon S3 as their storage engine anyway? This should have an open API?
WASD is an established entity in the mechanical keyboard scene, so I'm sure they did most of the heavy lifting in regards to hardware.

I'm sure it will be a good keyboard (especially for enthusiasts looking to try out some Cherry MX clears).
Cryptobox: A Crypto API
Can anyone who has used the Cherry MX clears comment on them as compared to blues or browns? I've found that I dislike blues, and loathe reds. Browns are hands down my favorite, and the key switch I use both at home and at the office.

I do understand being frustrated in the search for a high quality mechanical backlit keyboard, as there are shockingly few contenders out there. I'm currently using a Max nighthawk (green backlit with brown key switches), and enjoying it. However, the Ducky Shine II was very close to the top of my list.
I think using C for everything is overkill. At some point keeping track of low level details stops being enlightening and just becomes a PITA.

I'm biased, but I think my university took a good approach. In one class sophomore year we had to implement Quicksort and some other algorithms in MIPS assembly language. The rest of our classes used Java or whatever else was installed on the Linux machines in the computer lab. It let us see what was going on under the hood without the tedium of having to do it for everything.
There are no Pacific Island countries on the list other than Australia and New Zealand.

Lack of technical competency?

I have this for breakfast every morning. It's designed to be nutritious, convenient and filling to aid weight loss:

http://www.idealshape.com/meal-replacement-shakes/

I have a personal size (two-cup?) blender - I mix one scoop powder, one cup milk, several ice cubes, blend for 30 seconds for a morning milkshake.

Other companies sell formulas designed for weight gain for bodybuilders - you can find those at the local health food/supplements store.
I do like the Ducky Shine, but this is a 100% custom design that Weyman and I came up with. It's not supposed to look radically different, but much cleaner and minimalistic. The details matter.

You can tear my Model M from my cold dead hands. Ya, when I'm on a laptop, I use a chiclet keyboard like everyone else. But I can feel myself typing with the Model M, my finger energy is returned fairly efficiently on each keystroke, it just feels better for coding tasks.
Absolutely! There's lots of hardware around, but being able to turn an Arduino project into an emergency beacon or IP link has some benefits too, and $20 is likely cheaper than what's been around. At $20 these are commodity prices, which I don't think we've had for high quality general purpose computing + wireless platforms.
Simple but effective way to get the owner to pay up. Although I remember seeing this on reddit a week or two back, so maybe not that effective?
Just out of curiosity what are the legal ramifications of doing this? Could it be considered defacing the site and some how fall under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, or since the owner never payed/didn't pay the full amount is the site still the property of the dev?
Still puzzles me: who touchtypes looking at the keys?
Multiplying both sides by zero is always legitimate (if rarely useful). In the example linked, the error is in dividing by zero. More specifically, in dividing by (a-x). Formally speaking, this operation is only defined when (a-x)!=0. Mutipling by zero is defined for all real numbers.
Clear is sort of like blue without the noise. It's a strong actuation force, closer to real buckling spring keyboards... but without the deafening gunshot sounds every time you press a key. :)
For a long time I used the Filco tenkeyless with Cherry MX brown key switches, together with an Evoluent vertical mouse. That particular combination was very good for my wrists.

Unfortunately, the Filco tenkeyless can be a bit tricky to find (and of course are not backlit).
No it doesn't. Buying a foreclosed house at auction makes you responsible for the amount you bid on it (and yes, property taxes). The bank would have to eat the remainder of the debt.

I'll have to look at Nimrod. You're correct about Rust; I've only read bits and pieces, but everything I've seen so far has left me with a positive impression.
So tough they can't even RTFA that consists mostly of pictures.
I for one thought they did "content-first" right. Looking at the new sports.yahoo.com, a lot of information can be obtained without scrolling down the screen, and much of the visual clutter is localised by with background blurring.

I'll take this over the "huge text" startup-style any day.
> 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

Many technologies have been developed or accelerated through the need to reverse engineer something. I would argue the techniques developed to break the Enigma Code during WW2 had profound effects on computing generally.

Often reverse engineering a technology can also allow you to make improvements the other party has yet to realise, catalysing new ideas and research.

Not that all this means you are necessarily wrong, although perhaps it is a little too idealistic to hope for a world where information isn't a valuable currency?
Interesting. [0] The choice of colors is cool. I wonder how much RGB LEDs would have added to the cost? I'm guessing quite a bit, especially since you would need to control 3x as many channels.
Yup, but we can 868MHz in Europe, and with all the support from international backers I think we may end up doing that as a stretch goal! Just have to talk it our with our RF expert, which we're doing!
Have you paid for your annual Go compiler license subscription yet? Yeah, me neither.

Reading the comments, I guess I am the only guy who still doesn't believe in responsive design in the first place.

I just haven't seen a really good implementation of it from a behavior perspective, regardless of what framework or technique is used under the hood. I mean, stacking a three column desktop layout into a single long column for phones is not desirable to me.

And, when I view a full desktop site on a phone or tablet with higher resolution (which is where devices are going), it is typically very readable with the browser's auto-sizing to fit. In rare cases, there is always zooming when necessary. But, resolutions across devices will soon be such that supporting at most two different resolution ranges would be all that is required, if that.

Even if there are rare cases wherein a specific UI can benefit from desktop space where available, with responsive design you'd be making a conscious decision to build a less desirable experience for mobile and other devices. That would imply a separate site with its own UI, optimized as much as possible for the smaller screens. In this case, why try to do so much with each page? Media queries, extensive markup, etc. are effectively adding big, nasty if statements throughout the code. It is ungainly and hard to maintain, even while delivering a sub-par experience. So, if you really are trying to deliver a remarkably different experience per screen format, then it is better to consider a separate site/page-set, IMO.

I think higher resolutions, better browser capabilities, and other changes will make responsive design a "remember when" in the not-too-distant future. And Web designers/devs will breathe a collective sigh of relief, just as we have all done in the past when various painful and short-lived fads went the way of the dinosaur.

But again, maybe that's just me!

>I was doubting a diagnosis by a chiropractor

yep, it was a sole basis of you doubt. Even though tghw was outright trashing neck angle problem, you still supported the trashing because diagnosis comes from chiropractor. Evidence based reasoning coming from a future medical doctor i guess ...

> Chiropractors are notorious

... and more of it.

No media keys on the Leopold either, or painted backplate, etc.
TrustZone is exclusive to Cortex-A ARM chips. These are the big, beefy chips that run mobile phones and tablets.

This (Flutter) is using a Cortex-M ARM chip, which is entirely different. These are used in small, embedded devices. Like wireless headphones, or robotics. Cortex-M chips don't have TrustZone.
Primary reason at the moment is that elasticsearch currently has no backup/long term durability story. They plan on something for 1.0, but that doesn't help with the current situation.

Also we've suffered data loss on several occasions with elasticsearch. This has been getting better but is still a concern. Having the external long term datastore and a handy import method made these small hiccups.

Lastly IMO elasticsearch works best, particularly when working with log like data, as a rolling window view into the data. This keeps your elasticsearch cluster to a reasonable size (saving $$) while keeping the ability to re-load old data for exploration when you need it.
7 Opportunities to Save Big on Startup Expenses
I always find this weird, that when people start talking about office ergonomics, they so frequently ignore the laptop elephant in the room. Laptops are convenient, but they are not ergonomic.

In my own office, I have to badger people to accept a monitor and separate keyboard. Usually they resist because "laptops are cool!", but after they actually try a bigger, separate screen and moveable keyboard, they would never be without them.
Try this: http://www.contour-design.co.uk/products/rollermouse-red

I have it at the office and it's just amazing.
Fortunately it's really hard to make a Twitter account, what with all the passport checks and ID verification that goes on there. Only real, verified SEA members would be able to create such an account. And only when directly logging in from a verified Syrian government IP.
I too have a das keyboard. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. I just got mine less than a year ago. One of the keys started getting sticky and would not jump back after a key press (the command key.) They haven't answered my email asking for any solution to this.

I saw similar complaints from other recent customers. It seems as though they have shifted production to a new Chinese facility which is causing more of these problems.

It works great, but breaks down quick. If you are in the middle of a coding project or something big, nothing can be more annoying: an awesome keyboard suddenly dying on you and absent customer service.
Yeah, I have 2 DAS keyboards as well. Got em a few years back and they are so much better to type on. Mine have no letters on the keys so people that can't type don't just come to my desk and "Hop on my machine"
Map Projections are Fundamentally Broken
I'm surprised no one has recommended MultiTable yet. They sell a sturdy, adjustable, standing desk for under $500. The only problem (feature?) is that it doesn't come with a table top. I solved for that by buying one from IKEA for ~$50 and screwing it in. The whole setup process took about an hour and now I've got a standing desk at home! It only takes a few seconds of using the hand-crank to lower or raise it to whatever height I want, and the crank isn't even obtrusive. I recommend the desk to anyone who's looking for an adjustable standing desk but doesn't want to pay an arm and a leg for the motorized feature/power drain.

I've got a Ducky Shine II 87-key that's looks extremely similar to the CODE Keyboard. I got mine with Reds, which I don't care for, so I stick to my Filco with Browns or a Leopold with Blues, but the Ducky looks great, has great build quality, and has nearly all the features of the CODE Keyboard.

From all I know, he was making a decent living from his blog alone before he started StackOverflow. And let's just assume for a moment that SO made him a bit more. Alledging he's doing this for the money is... surprising. Being needlessly offensive doesn't really help your point either.
My wrists seem ok, but my finger joints felt like they were developing arthritis, which is a common malady for typists. I bought a couple Leopolds (one with red switches, one brown), learned to type without bottoming out much, and it cleared right up.
PRIVATE banks OWN the Federal Reserve and therefore control the money supply...and their profit margins.

Bitcoin is not(yet) under the control of the Federal Reserve...this eats into profit for the banks.

Consider Bitcoin's "independence" on 'borrowed' time.
They don't mention FRP. RX is a subset of FRP oriented around just event streams without continuous signals; think of it as FRP lite. Their actors and futures unit makes me wonder if this is also about concurrency in addition to reactivity. Nothing about state repair at all.

My need is for a database that doesn't silently corrupt my data.

MySQL is different in this regard.
True, but it is still valid algebra. There are other examples where one might turn a false statement into a true statement without doing something as pointless as multipling by zero. A common example is squaring an equation. Consider a system of equation in which it can be shown that x=3. Within this system, the statement x=-3 is false, however the statement x^2=9 is true.

Again, this specific example is contrived, but this does come up annoyingly often.
This is what I initially thought as well, having built an ISM band transceiver around the 350/400 MHz bands a few years ago. I recalled much lower power limits.

(I had posted something along the lines of "there's no way in hell the FCC would let you transmit at half a watt" but have since edited).

Apparently the 900 MHz bands are different, and the FCC has rules governing output power going into the antenna (1 watt), as well as an effective radiated power (which essentially places limits on your antenna gain) (4 watts).

But the rule of law is only for the media and whistleblowers, not for governments.

You can choose Dvorak, Colemak, QWERTY via dipswitches on the back. As well as Mac (Alt/Command), disable Windows Key, switch Caps Lock with Ctrl, etc.

It comes with a key puller, so you can easily swap the keys with whatever keycaps you like. WASD sells tons of different keycaps.

I love ergonomic keyboards too but for a mass market item we wanted to follow the classic standards everyone knows first and foremost. Perhaps if the base model does really well, we can come back with an ergo model.
Just wanted to put in my reccomendation for WASD. I got the Cherry MX brown switches (tactile bump). I love the ability to completely customize each key. I've had mine for about 2 years now and I really dig it.

Ask HN:  Any Hackers Appreciate The Importance Food Has On Feeling Good?
I'm Brandon. (BKSenior on the web)

I founded a company and built an app that allows you to walk into almost any restaurant in the US to find exactly what you're looking for. You can view the menu sorted by the popularity of each dish and filterable by all diets (vegan, paleo, gluten-free, veggie), allergies (nut-free, lactose-free), and ingredients.

We are even a stone's throw away from being able to determine calorie-count for each dish. One of the best parts? All menus update (410,000 restaurants and 21 million dishes) every 24 hours.

I just parted ways with my technical co-founder, and now I'm looking to bring someone aboard who embodies the app's ideals: eating right and living a healthy lifestyle. Someone who knows that nutrition is going to be a massive growth market for everyone -- not just the wealthy.

Around 5,000 people are already signed up to be the first invitees to our product. To add to the marketing fire, we have a weekly food column on a major news outlet AND have three diet-related books coming out in the next month.

The overall vision is even bigger, and it's definitely not just a better version of YELP. There is something very different about what we are trying to do. (Also, we have a GREAT product name and own the name on all popular platforms.)

We raised a non-trivial sum of money to get the product built, and I've been slaving on this, sans-salary full-time, for 12 months.

I have a pretty prestigious marketing/business resume. I've run global strategy at the largest ad agency on the West Coast as well as my own profitable business for four years before that. I have a litany of specific examples of my marketing and business acumen in practice.

If you are a hacker that thrives in a chaotic environment and feel as strongly as I do about making people healthy, shoot me a note at Brandon@whatsgood.com and lets talk food.
