If App.net is anything like HN then sign me up!

Yes a study showed that sitting for more than 6 hours a day increases mortality even if you excercise regularly.

I just have the standard IDEA Fredrik desk with the table mounted at standing height, it works great for me.

But in this case the server was compromised, so they can sit at home and brute force the hashes all day long.

Wait which country is that?

This sucks. The US tap cables all over the place but heaven forbid a new cable goes down with even a hint of Chinese involvement!

Looks hot but it's pretty pointless without commenting

Still much better than 90 minutes!

I'd love to hear what Dave predicts for 2037! I'm gonna try to contact him...

It's a student, definitely not a former yelp employee or homeless person.

> Airlines enforce minimum check-in times of 1.5 hrs

Holy shit that is insane! Here in Australia I just get there 20 mins before take-off and pretty much walk straight onto the plane. They xray my hand-luggage and I walk through a metal detector on the way but that never takes more than a couple of minutes.

Maybe if it used C the site would still be up!

Has Google not been doing this for ages?

No, most experts agree that sugars are worse than the carbs in potatoes or rice.

Any wheat and any potatoes according to people like Gary Taubes. Sweet potatoes are probably better than regular spuds. Wheat and potatoes are mostly just carbohydrates which, as explained in the video we're discussing, should be reduced. There's no such thing as an 'essential carbohydrate' and all other vitamins and minerals in potatoes and wheat can also be found in more than sufficient quantities in 'good' foods like meat and leafy veggies.

Yea I think you should add 'Eat foods that can be eaten raw' and you'll probably be pretty close to optimal. Potatoes and wheat can't be eaten raw. Although sugar can be eaten raw and most of us will agree that lots of sugar is bad.

Taubes was right

I really do think we'll be better off on average scrapping patents in ALL industries. Sure there's some positives in patents but the negatives far outweigh them in my opinion.

Anyone using a database this young for anything important is looking for trouble.

How would they even know how many lines of code is in Facebook?

HN shortens display of long URLs automatically and shorteners are bad long term so please don't use them here.

Why bother running your code in space like this? All you get is access to the data generated by the on-board sensors, you don't get to control anything on the sat. They'd be better off just streaming the data to earth and giving people access to it here.

Furthermore, as far as I can tell none of the sensors they plan on using is rated for use in space, for example commercial GPS units stop working when they reach around 1000 km/h (to stop them being used in missiles)

Finally their supposed launch date is 2013, and I really don't see how they can make such a tight deadline when they're not even done designing the thing.

Don't waste your money on this kickstarter.

Certainly much less than 10 meters

It's an iPad with a USB port - I want one

I'm guessing TF2 and Dota 2?

Sending an email voicing your disapproval is not really 'lynching' now is it?

It's going to be some time before I stop thinking 'spam' every time I see a URL to theatlantic.
