The edge cases of dead phones and unshared internet (like on a plane) are something we're working on right now. We want to find a good second-string form of authentication when your phone is unavailable, and we have several directions we wa

It's a quick shot in the video, but part of opening the app is unlocking it with a PIN, which is the second factor. We know that a PIN will not stop a determined attacker for long, but since we make it possible to remotely deactivate a lost

You missed the point. This is not an expectation of luck, but is his acknowledgement that he could not have made it alone. The post is not meant to help you achieve like him (which I understand is different from most of what is posted on Ha

This was a great story and I have a lot of respect for Lucas after reading it, but there are a few things that I want to notice. First, Altsie is a pretty awesome idea! I really like the idea of going to a bar to watch an indie movie, I'm s

I think there is a reason why consumer electronics conversations get so heated that is even more important than what you've mentioned: the nature of the products forces us to choose between them. And we spend a decent chunk of money on them
