Clever table design
- noelchurchill 18y agoNow I need a room that can expand as easily as the table.
- huhtenberg 18y agoThe table was designed for a luxury super-yacht. So it was kind of in reverse - first they got the room, then they got the table :)
- slackerIII 18y agoI can imagine my fingers getting crushed so vividly after watching that.
- figured 18y agoflip-flops?
- figured 18y agoboo to being mod'ed down. I am I the only one who noticed that she was wearing business attire with flip flops?
- pavel_lishin 18y agoYou noticed someone's shoes? You're not one of us...

- creativeembassy 18y agoAnyone else think about designing and building their own? I'd love to design something physical for a change.
- pyroman 18y agoI thought about building one on my own when watching the video, but I haven't even built anything simple before. Maybe I need the challenge to get me interested.
- zaius 18y agoI was thinking this was going to be about html tables...
- alexkay 18y agoI was sure it was about database schema...
- chagrin 18y agoHere we go. HN's first youtube post :(
- matt1 18y agoCalm calm. This is a video of a novel, innovative table design which is both intellectually stimulating and interesting from an entrepreneurial perspective. It's not like he posted a link to a Remi Gaillard video or anything like that.
- biohacker42 18y agoYes but he does have a point. I remember this from Reddit. And lets face it, the transition is never sudden, it's not like tomorrow bunny with a pancake on its head will be the top story on HN. The decline will be slow and it will happen via those rare stories that both hackers and non hackers find interesting. Videos, any kind of video, are much more dangerous then pictures, and pictures more dangerous then text. This is definitely something that an engineer can appreciate, but it is also something ANYONE can watch think cool!
- tstegart 18y agoVideos are dangerous?
- biohacker42 18y agoThey are most likely to be liked by both hackers and non-hackers. Text is least likely.
- tsally 18y agoJust goes to show you that there is always innovation left to be done. Hell, before seeing this video I would have assumed that table innovation was pretty much finished. Makes me think of statements from some of Google's engineers saying that search is 95% perfected.
- neilc 18y agoReally? Do you have a source for those statements from Google engineers?
- jsrfded 18y agoI saw that quote somewhere, I think marissa said it in one of her talks
- jeroen 18y agoHere: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2008/09/marissa-mayer-t.html http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2008/09/marissa-m... Search is an unsolved problem. We have a good 90 to 95% of the solution, but there is a lot to go in the remaining 10%.
- matt1 18y agoWhy is it that when you click on the "Pricing" link on their website it doesn't tell you the price? http://www.dbfletcher.com/capstan/ http://www.dbfletcher.com/capstan/ A YouTube commenter said it costs abut $17K. Another site indicates it's a bit more: "The large Capstan tables cost around $95,000 and the smaller Rising and Furling tables cost between $24,000 and $58,500 depending on size." http://www.luxist.com/2006/12/13/db-fletcher-tables/ http://www.luxist.com/2006/12/13/db-fletcher-tables/ Anyone know how much for the one in the video? Or is it all custom?
- shadytrees 18y agoIf you twist it one more time, it becomes the Transformer that says, "What's up, little bitches?"
- mattmaroon 18y agoFWIW, I laughed out loud at that one.
