Agreed. I love the craftsmanship. Who makes hardware that can last more than 45 years?

While you're waiting, might as well ask if Craigslist could create a geo for you. It doesn't seem to be too difficult for them to add cities these days. You'll probably need to make a good case though.

cool, thanks!

I like it, though I can't figure out to type the pinyin vowels.

But American's who would code in C++ already exist and are emitting CO2 regardless of what they are doing. As long as there is unemployment, there would be no net gain in CO2 by switching to C++.

This could be a great tourism tool. "Hey check out our cool city and its architecture." Makes me want to visit Prague. Looks like a cool city.

There are a few other cities I would like to see this of.

About as playful as 'You're an idiot if you take this comment seriously.'

That's awesome. Next time I go camping I'll bring some flint and a bit of NeXT Cube.

The problem is that economies of scale generally apply in large Democratic states. Economies of scale are by their nature commercial. The only item that seems scales in CA is subterfuge.

There are no numbers in English, but some real languages with latinized character sets have numbers in them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sḵwxwú7mesh_language

Do ethics apply in gambling?

I don't think Anamax is saying that he wants appropriate governments to fail, but rather that ginormous governments should be split as well. If a country's failure leads to chaos, perhaps the size of that government should be rethought.

We should step back and realize that a government isn't some sacred perpetual institution but rather a means to represent people. If a government fails to represent it's people, it must be changed.

Just below the player are some other options. MP4 is an alternative.

Great Article! I didn't understand how flightcaster worked until a couple minutes ago. I thought they just scraped airline sites faster. :)

I wonder in what other areas this tech could apply? Financials comes to mind first, but perhaps something less saturated. Groceries? Gas prices? Perhaps something with less supply/demand pressure.

I felt that article and the video were a bit fluffy too. That ice test was hardly scientific. I imagine competitive nature may play more of a role than pain tolerance - at least that would be the case for me.

Perhaps this is just me, but doesn't red seem counter-intuitive for a positive score? I think we're conditioned to think red is bad and green is good.

Could this dot be changed to green? Also, could you put an alt or label on that dot with something like "over 5 votes" or some other descriptive text? A bit more accessible.

I just think it's funny how they compare it to the 1 week old tornado rather than twisted. Way to jump on the bandwagon. I predict a few more asynch libraries going open source in the not so distant future.

Are there easily accessible motors that could drive a train that small?

I'm with you Ryan, it is a success story for Techcrunch. I'm not a TC fan, but still not gonna let emotions get in the way of the facts.

We already have some pain-free meat in the form of invertebrates: shrimp, crab, mussels, etc. Also, I'm not sure how I feel about devolving the pain reaction out of animals that have it.

I'm sure it's a thrill to crush an enemy, but I think I'd rather take a few million and have some women console my "loss." Lamenting women just doesn't do it for me.

$170 million is why. There was a good amount invested over a few rounds, but what's left is probably enough FU money for Aaron and team.

Isn't a fax more admissible in court? Posting pics (or getting tagged) on FB just became that more dangerous.

Brilliant! Thanks for a brief walk, with your fortune, through the tumults of history.

hehe, and probably with his camera phone.

That's awesome. And congrats on taking the leap!

I was wondering why most responses were Europe. Then I realized it's 2:30 in the morning. :-/

Goodnight Hacker News! Hack away until I rise again.

I imagine I would do better with more fish and seaweed. However, a recent talk at TED, http://www.ted.com/talks/nina_jablonski_breaks_the_illusion_..., implies that we are getting enough sun even at higher latitudes. Humans at higher latitudes seem to have quickly evolved to lighter skin colors to allow more Vitamin D production. Drastic movements between latitudes may cause more harm than good.

There's New Zealand if you want more diversity.

I think there may be a few others, but I think the essence of a hacker is based in creativity. The more creative, the better you are at figuring out that problem.
