Sorry you're being downvoted. It might help if you explain why you disagree.

The first image really confused me with the 'Receiver' looking like a server and the 'Sender' looking like a laptop.

I'm sure traditionally aged sprits would remain with luxury-pricing if this took hold, but this is fascinating from a scientific perspective.

Could you elaborate on Reno's weather? I read the climate section on Reno's Wikipedia page but it's hard to get a good sense of the actual weather.

I don't think the point is that you can't be a good programmer unless you understand NP-hard problems (at least I hope so, otherwise I'm in trouble). I think the point is that you can use this matrix as a guide towards improving your knowledge and skills.

This looks like the perfect laptop for me at this moment. I just worry that a ceiling of 8GB of RAM means it won't be the perfect laptop for me next year. And I'd like my laptop to last me 2-3 years.

I use Sijin Joseph's Programmer Competency Matrix[0] as a guide.

I think that should say "servers" plural.

How do you pronounce the name of your company?

I wish I could see the actual features and UI before signing up.

Or her. ;)

I think this is fantastic. I would recommend attributing Edward Snowden for the quotes being used though.

To those downvoting: a short comment explaining why you disagree would be helpful. If I've made a mistake I'd like to know so I don't repeat it. Thanks.

Interesting idea, but I think the shirt looks bad aesthetically. Customizing the font, size, and placement of the URL might make this more interesting to me. Also, I made it to the credit card entry point and never saw HTTPS, so I wouldn't complete an order if I was interested in the shirt.

One thing to consider is that many rural states poor schools without AP programs. My high school in Idaho had 1 AP program for English and that was it.

This title seems to be missing the '(YC 2009)' indicator.

Might be great, but I'm not going to sign up just to find out.

I like the idea but I think http://supportdetails.com/ has a more pleasing UI.

Wow. The OLPC XO-1 launched for $188 in 2006. Now we have relatively mainstream retail laptops selling for less than that.

Sorry if this is a silly question, but does that mean that they don't mix well (like oil and water)?

Lossless audio streaming appeals to me but I'm not sure I'm willing to pay twice as much for it. I think that the artist exclusives would have to be very compelling for me to switch to Tidal.

If I understand correctly, I think that's kind of the idea behind keyboards like the ErgoDox and Atreus. They have multiple "layers" that you can map.

Thanks for the suggestion. The design does seem fairly radical, but I think the price is also too high for me to justify giving that one a try.

I would really love a mechanical keyboard in the split ergonomic layout of a Microsoft Natural Ergonomic keyboard. Something about that shape feels right to me, but most mechanical keyboard either use a standard layout or something radically different (I'm looking at you Ergodox).

Thanks for sharing. Reading this made me think about Jupiter as a ball of fluid in a way I hadn't previously. Now I'm wondering why all of Jupiter's colors haven't mixed together.

I would feel better about Amazon's offering if they were more transparent regarding government requests. According to the EFF[0] Amazon doesn't tells users about government data requests or publish transparency reports.

While simply eating less works for most people I think this is a little dismissive of other factors at work in the obesity epidemic.
