    I see what you mean, but no actually. I really just Googled "what color makes people hungry" and picked a red I liked!

    Sure! On the front end it's HTML, CSS, and jQuery - no hip JS frameworks nor complex build pipelines. Backend is node and express. The dominos API is https://github.com/RIAEvangeli…

    It's not a watch aficionado company. It is, as I understand it, a company that just rapidly builds out app ideas. An app incubator, you could say.

    Firefox seems to have a privacy policy that, by default, does things that aren't "free" - locale checking, talking back to Mozilla, etc. Is there another "free" browser that suppor…

    Source? Isn't that only true due to the fact that most people do not change thermostats in homes/apartments/condos they move into, or when they change HVAC systems?

    It's not random. It's using a model to create what it believes the most likely bracket outcomes are. Those unique brackets are then distributed, obviously in order of most likely t…
