It's not weird at all. A simple $10 a month home phone line can make or break the deal when trying to get a potential residential customer to switch to Google Fiber from an incumbent carrier. Also consider the number of younger people

It's all about the bundle. They need to be able to offer the so-called triple play that other ISPs do.

Forget diet. Go all the way with a proper water fast. Unfortunately if there was a way to monetize a person not eating for 30 days we would all be hearing about it. Big Food & Drug companies can't productize fasting so it remains f

Nice job Andrew. So that's what the big secret was at Cluecon! :)

Nice work, I'll keep an eye on this project.

Same goes for green juices. Our bodies were not meant to receive an immediate intake of 10 freshly pressed celeries or 3 bunches of kale in one sip.

I'm really liking the results on my end as well. I currently use this same setup for the web/API side of things for a Freeswitch-based project with a large Lua codebase and the reusability factor is a great plus.

IIRC Instacart also makes money from the price difference of products that are listed at their regular price yet are offered on sale at the store when actually bought by an Instacart shopper. That may have changed since their early days.

One of my first jobs ages ago was to convert a large Perl codebase to ASP 2.0 because my new boss, a 22 year old CTO, was replacing a guy more than twice his age and Perl was "for old folks" as he put it. This one person turned th

Good find :) This kind of information should definitely have more visibility on a site dealing with highly sensitive financial data.

I tried to find more information about the people running the company, but can't seem to find any page on their site listing the executive team. Anyone knows why? Or perhaps I totally missed it somehow?

Glad to hear! Feel free to reach out via email if you have any questions or interested in several resources that will go into great detail with regards to prolonged water fasting.

Most people do not reach a point where their electrolyte levels are dangerously low when undertaking a prolonged fast of up to 40-45 days. Low levels of electrolytes are an indication that your body is unable to continue in a fasting state

Just about anyone can do it safely, with the exception of people with very specific health situations. Even very skinny people who need to but cannot gain weight seem to reverse that trend following a prolonged fast. The body is very smart

I lost 35 pounds. I didn't measure anything else, and since ending the fast 2 months ago I regained about 5 pounds. For several weeks following the fast I only ate fruits and veggies which is why I think the weight gain has been so lit

Not the OP, but when I fasted I only drank water, usually distilled. You don't eat anything, hence the term water fasting. I should mention that I personally got weekly blood tests to keep track of the vitals (especially potassium leve

@crusso, haha I only heard about this show when my friend suggested that I go ahead and apply to participate. It does take some mental effort to cruise through a prolonged fast. It's especially hard in our society where so much is cent

Correct. I did not consume anything but water for those 23 days. And yes, past day four I felt more energized than at any time in the last 10 years or so. I know it sounds counter intuitive, but I guess it's one of those things you hav

Not so much, no. I did attempt to paint a wall around day 16 I think and didn't feel comfortable looking up while standing on the ladder so decided to put it off until I ended the fast. Other than that I felt as normal as can be during

I agree. Earlier this year I fasted for 23 days (consuming only water) and the hunger and desire to eat went away after the third or forth day. The need to eat was replaced by a burst of energy that lasted for the remainder of the fast and

Why such a complex password? Kind of an overkill IMO.

Shameless plug: if anyone is interested in helping a startup test out their VoIP infrastructure, let me know (email in profile) and I'll hook you up with a free SIP trunk you can use for a while for both domestic and international call

This is step one. Then in a few months they will introduce new requirements to hand over the login password so the TSA agent can confirm the laptop indeed works.

I'm surprised the article did not raise the point that the US government effectively maintains a huge database of everybody's handwriting.

RubyRide in Phoenix also maintains its own fleet. However, unlike Uber and Lyft, it's a subscription-based personalized driver service.

Agree about chatting with people seating next to you (btw, great meeting you!). Too many people were busy browsing HN on their phones, meanwhile they could talk to HNers right there and then.
