   My thought was that it was proximity based. If you traveled to far away from the screen/device the pairing would be broken and you'd be logged out. Much like how bluetooth mice/keyboards work today.

   I can't personally say I feel your pain; however, my mother does. She has a thick middle-eastern accent. It's one of the funniest things seeing her try to request directions by voice on her Nexus.

   I'm a proponent of a device that you never take off. It needs to be waterproof, comfortable, and robust. If that's true then people can design assuming that it's always with you. I don't think this is a pipe dream.

    Just to re-iterate. It's dead simple to get boiler-plate protection.

    I'm not sure. My old account became blocked for some reason. I never submitted anything bad or submitted often. That said, I've never posted with this account yet. The way I realized I had a blocked account was sending a link to my submissi

    You're right I'm off. Wasn't trying to exaggerate, was recalling what they made when I went to school 10 years ago. Median starting salary is just under $35K. So I'll correct myself and say $40K vs $35K. http://www.payscale.com/research/US

    Yes, it's fantastic. Have always opted for a standing desk where possible.

    Would you agree that if a person is focused on making money they won't consider becoming a teacher? Paying $35K vs $30K still can't compete with what a reasonable tech company pays an engineer.

    The question should be: "Should a equally competent teachers be paid differently based on subject area?" No. Great teachers should be rewarded equally. It's no simpler to make a child value their body than to make a child value logic. The f

    Great question! Although I don't think we'll get the answer in this thread, I do think that we are deciding what to do and what not to do on a daily basis in communities like Hacker News. Communities have the power to create a popular cultu

    Engineers respect people who get engineering. Also, whatever role you are, if you have to decide on planning/prioritization it's helpful to have an understanding if people are bs'ing on time estimates. You can't really understand the comp

    I'd agree w/ @benwerd, I think that an understanding of CS is a helpful background in understanding computing. Think of it as an equivalent of taking US History before practicing law. Although I barely use much of the low level coding that

    Can't be too helpful, my biz isn't for sale and that's all I can offer. Consider trying to go to Demo Days for YC, 500, etc., and pitching teams there.

    You should set up an Angellist account Check out angel.co and read VentureHacks (by the founders of Angellist). Also, Dave McClure has content all over about raising money, rules to making a pitch deck, etc. It would be helpful if you gave

    IP Addresses are PII, you should generally scrub those. If you, for example, wanted to be in NAI, Network Advertising Initiative, you'd be required to delete IP addresses in log files. Also, addresses can be tied to other actions across the
