As part of an attempt to get Claude to help me communicate better, we have .. a Claude-assisted mdbook for datatoad: www.frankmcsherry.org/datatoad/int... Still a work in progress, but it came together much faster with help.

I expect to be getting a lot of emails like this soon. This one is from @s.ly and @keyboard.io about the tariffs. Such a pointless destruction of US small businesses.

To our US customers:

Yesterday, the Trump Administration announced that they will be ending the de minimis exemption for all shipments from Hong Kong and China on May 2. They also raised the minimum import tax on products made in China or Hong Kong to 54% of the sale price.
While we design our keyboards in the US, like most consumer electronics companies we manufacture our products in southern China. These new rules will drastically increase how much it costs you to buy our products.

(1) If you've been considering buying anything we make, now is the time.

According to the new policy, you will owe a 54% import tax on any package from Keyboardio that arrives after May 1. Once the de minimis rule is gone, no sale we can offer will ever make the Model 100 or Atreus as inexpensive as it is today.

Starting in May, US customers will be charged $188 in new taxes (tariffs) on a Model 100 + additional customs clearance fees. The new US taxes on the Atreus will be $80 + additional customs clearance fees.

We're really proud of these keyboards—we designed them to be the most comfortable tools to help you be productive, and to help you enjoy the experience of typing. We think they're worth the investment. We don't think a 54% tax is reasonable.

Blogged: "The Missing SQL Sub-queries" SQL's had sub-queries since SQL:92 - but it's still a challenge to return properly nested data through SQL queries. #XTDB has first-class support for nested values, as well as `NEST_ONE` and `NEST_MANY`, which fill this gap: xtdb.com/blog/the-mis...
