I completely disagree with this article. Yes, helmets may increase the risk of other injuries (not inclusive of "I am hearing a helmet, I am a invincible" injuries), but the benefit of reduced head injury vastly outweigh the increase in other injuries.
On another note, there has been quite a bit of development into helmets in the last 5 or so years. Check out MIPS system [1]. It basically allows the head to move independently of the helmet increasing the "time" of the impact and also reducing oblique forces on the brain. Does it 100% work? Who knows. Is my head priceless, yes.

Always impressed by the write-ups the Backblaze team does. Very informative and very clear on what you guy are achieving and how you do it.
Crazy amount of hardware involved, and Backblaze is the "small kid on the block" in relation to FB, Google, and Amazon.

Great theme, I do enjoy it. A few suggestion:
- make the bad bar thinner: it takes up a good chunk of usable screen real estate for just showing file names (especially important on laptops)
- The scroll bars could be a bit "lighter". They blend into the dark a bit too well.

I find Sourcetree to be a pretty great product, with some negative marks here and there. I use it on W7 and OSX and find the "tabbed" interface of Windows versus the separate windows of OSX much easier to work with, especially on large products.
Some issues I have: - The app does have some lag at times. I really wish the app would update with local changes and remote changes much faster. Commits can also take some time. - I know how to use the application, but it could really use some better explanation/help around some features. For example, how to set up SSH keys and how branch/merge/stash/tag work. This would make Sourcetree much easier to learn for new users.
