And should they run dry, here are some more invites:

Edit: 25 people from HN now have a keybase account.

Should anyone care, you can use:

  $.makeArray($("input.form-control[value]").map(function() {return $(this).val();})).join(" ")
To produce a list of your active invites from the invite page.
Re:Coders guide to good coffee on Friday July 16, 2010 @04:33AM (#1520659)
I too share your passion for the AeroPress, and might I add, that using the upside down brewing method[1] it makes excellent americano. Best I've ever had actually.

Coffee is not supposed to be bitter, and it's a shame that so many people think "Oh, well, that's just the way coffee tastes I guess.".

I recently got my parents one, and they went "Ohh, it can taste like that? That's really good!"

I think we would all be better off just using an elastic ip address, and not using the dynamic address for public websites.

Also, the same problem applies to normal servers where the webserver is configured to show the website for the ip address, kind of like:

http://174.132.225.106/

which google also has picked up:

http://www.google.dk/search?q=site:174.132.225.106

True, but take this case as an example, would that case have even the slightest chance of winning anywhere else in the world?

It's a major problem that they allow such cases in the court, but that such a case can win? That's just crazy?

Isn't the problem here that the legal system in the US allows for such "made up" cases?

I mean, like suing someone because you burned your tongue on coffee, which is a hot beverage. I just don't get it.

It reminds me of a similar service many years old, which eventually got shut down by the authorities because some very bad people was using he's service.

I can't remember the name of the guy or the service, but you should be careful such a service.

Other than that, it's really cool and useful!

They do know, I have a friend who works at a seeding agency, and they know very, very well how it works.

Make it funny/stupid/sexy enough, and people will watch it.

A couple of good examples of this:

Don't know if the latter was launched as a viral campaign, but my point is that you know it and the brand it was from if I'd phone you up and shout "WASSUP".

Marketing is a lot scarier that you think.

Until this day, I've always thought London was a cold, gray and boring place.

I stand corrected.
