I didn't really think about it before, but I now feel very uncomfortable that Dropbox has copies of my unencrypted files. I would feel much better if the files were encrypted befor…

I'd be really interested to know how this compares with people who have insomnia, or trouble sleeping in general. Is the difference just that these people can wake up feeling reste…

This visualisation triggers it for me! http://earth.nullschool.net/#2014/12/11/0900Z/wind/surface/l... I also experience the 'frisson' sensation mentioned in the article. It usuall…
