Well ... With all due respect. The primary incentive for a man in nightlife is girls. The guy on the right most likely didn't get much of a chance in that area. The guy on the left…

You've been trumped ... that's all ;) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1943873/

Good point - one might choose one's peers based on the desired feedback - the end result wouldn't be more healthy than adapting oneself to the feedback of a static peer group.

69 points and growing - but nobody has anything to say about it. at the end of the day this is anyway just yet another post about how you can actually do something practically rele…

So it is for real ... o.O It's a recurring theme in science that the more we know the more we become aware how little we actually understand. But the brain and it's embedding in th…

Don't forget to support them if you like their stuff - I just remember several posts from that site on HN: https://www.damninteresting.com/damnload/

I think the identity is connected to what key pair you control / what private key you have on your phone. F.x. I installed a while ago Signal on my phone and recently went to anoth…

Signal uses asymmetrical encryption - your private key is very well able to prove your identity - I'm pretty sure the concept "identity" in Signal is built on that technology. But …

I don't trust Apple ...

If I search for "Signal" on google.com in a private Chrome window then the first five results are all about the "good" Signal app.

Interesting perspective! It's true that it should be very easy and cheap - something like setting up an E-mail account or installing an app.

- Google plus: that would be kind of pointless, wouldn't it? - LinkedIn: The worst of the worst ... :D - HN / Reddit / Twitter: How do you share pictures privately with friends? (t…

Maybe for a synching feature it would be necessary to compromise on security of the data. The data is asymmetrically encrypted - so you'd have to synch it yourself by sending the d…

AirBnB needs to make sure you are not undermining it by making the deal outside of their system ... b/c then they don't get a provision for it. So I'd say it's fine in this case. A…

It might also be due lobbying given that Telegram was recently in the news for being a popular medium of ISIS communication (not for the attack - as we know by now, but for its pub…
