https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mudra It's a fairly comprehensive write-up. I'm mostly familiar with the Hatha Yoga context of mudras. There's also a few dozen books on the topic. I'…

What are your (you guys) opinions on Session ( https://getsession.org/ ), the Signal clone that uses Tor, and no phone numbers? Any significant downsides? Anybody know the team the…

I am still confused as to why companies have to pay tax at all? If every single employee including owners already pay income tax, and IVA/GST/purchase taxes, property taxes, xyz ad…

The mortality rate may seem very low, but the symptoms are far more severe. When you get the flu it's rare you get pneumonia, not so much with this virus. The biggest problem is th…

We need real data, not theories. Hopefully we'll get it soon.

You spelt blockchain wrong :P

What you call "shuffling money around", other's call funding companies with potential so they can sustain or accelerate their business, hire more staff, develop new products, provi…

This is censorship, and it's a slippery slope. IMHO the right way to go about this, would be for amazon to attach a letter to the cover of the book saying something like: "We're so…

>Amazon can claim it is both centralized and immutable, provided you trust Amazon. No it can't. The second it is hacked and somebody alters the ledger, it is no longer immutable. C…

Actually, I'm pretty sure most people don't have a clue when it comes to blockchain. Amazon can't claim it is both centralized and immutable. That's complete nonsense. Also WTF is …

Apple clearly needs to hire this guy. The only thing I disagree with is forcing people to learn many features during the setup process when you get your new phone. Pretty much nobo…

>ETH is Betamax to BTC's VHS. More like the Netflix to BTC's VHS I personally equate it to DOS vs Android. The potential for ETH is massive... granted security concerns, scalabilit…

Ultimate goal: Decipher what women really mean when they speak.

I was expecting the AI to reveal for the first time what the bats were saying, instead we learn that AI significantly under-performed what humans already understood about bat commu…

That didn't work for me. The top result is still the WSJ URL; however, a few links lower, we can find another URL which does show the same full article: http://newspot.me/n/03LT3uu…

I know Slack is trendy, but as a non programmer and old IRC user, I find it is slow, centralized and clunky.

Pff that's nothing. I could build a fake app, in less than 1 hour, for $100 and get about 5 million downloads in 1 day. Step 1. Find some opensource app code Step 2. Call it Pokemo…

"pre-mine" is a 2013 term. The correct term now, is "ICO" Initial Coin Offering. What you are suggesting is that the core devs were greedy in their setup of the coin. This is far f…

Yes, all it needs to say is this: Step 1. Take 5-10% of your liquid networth Step 2. Buy Ethereum now Step 3. Try to understand it (optional step) Step 4. Wait 3 years Step 5. Sell…
