Was there a moment you lost sight of your phone, while it was unlocked?

Yup, perhaps they put the username of the logged in user in an encrypted/signed cookie, and the private key was in the source code.

Get on a decent program and eat more. Physical strength is an example of a skill that is absolutely a matter of hard work, not being born lucky.

It's very polarizing. That seems like something US politics could use less of.

What's your strategy? Why do you consider yourself a "startup", as opposed to just being a webshop selling pills?

A properly configured $5 VPS can handle a massive amount of traffic if it's just serving a single static (cached) page. But to follow up on your point: I hope the EB script that up…

You could make the same claim about bitcoin not being needed, given that we have money and a working banking system. Your POV is just as invested in bitcoin as others are in Ethere…

Your traffic to websites goes trough a fixed "circuit" (that changes every few minutes). Within a circuit, the exit node sees all outbound connections you make, or don't make.

Your call with the lab is an attempt to appeal to authority. Also, thanks for the "sigh". I read your link. It's about blood glucose. Not about weight. The crux of your argument is…

>So, for example, person A can eat 3000 calories of cookies per day, but would gain weight on 3000 calories of rice. Person B could be the opposite. From the paper, it looks like g…

The folks who created it (slock.it) are planning to be the first proposal voted on. Now you might understand why the incentives are so incredibly slanted towards yes votes (and eve…

I suspect being hit by the beams might harm the victim, with the electricity just being a bonus. I doubt the laser generators are cheap and portable as well.

Comparing to JPEG seems somewhat dishonest (or thoughtless), considering the large parts of one color in some of the images. PNG and other algorithms not designed for detailed pict…
