I was about to comment about the same thing, it's really brilliant since the medical professionals could also access their medical history in case they land up at a hospital, so that could potentially save lives for a few dollars.

The death rate "increased by 134 deaths per 100,000 people from 1999 to 2014". Without the starting point (the death rate in 1999) we can't know the raising rate. If there were 268 deaths per 100,000 people in 1999 that would

They also did that at one of my previous workplace. We couldn't reuse any of the passwords we used in the past (no limit apparently), but in the form to change our password, they checked if the current and new passwords were different

Most often the slides alone are useless, they are only supposed to be a support for the talk. Talks recordings (or transcripts) are more useful, you can only get a high level idea of what the talk is about from slides. I would be awesome to

That's their objective : http://www.dillo.org/funding/objectives.html It does not work for "apps", but to read documents (the initial purpose of the web), it's excellent.

That only works for passwords you use on the web though.

The only workaround I can think of is: don't use the clipboard then. With pass you can also display the password on the console so you can retype it, but if you're running in an X session you're potentially screwed anyway.

I use pass ( http://www.passwordstore.org/ ) It can copy your password to the clipboard, and erases it after 45 seconds (by default.) It's still implemented as a shell script and uses xclip. Reading the shell script I

I also have flexibility issues (I'm tall), and I used to strain my lower back on heavy squats until I widened my stance and pointed my toes a bit more outwards, to prevent my lower back from rounding. You could ask someone to check if
