One thing to add, perhaps: include API wrappers, client libraries etc. Stuff that makes it easier to use the actual underlying API. Eg the YouTube Data API is nice, but you can save a ton of time if you use one of the client libraries: htt

Interesting. Would love to see some innovation on this, beyond just SensorTower. Too many great apps get ignored. Add me to your list (email in profile). :)

Highly interesting effect, but note that the extent of lucid dreaming here is (self-) reported to be rather low: " Despite the robust methodology, I think these headlines are getting carried away. Here’s why. Lucid dreaming was defined

Yep, that's why I mentioned file encryption specifically. :) My use case is wanting to have an extra layer of paranoia before I upload anything important to the cloud.

How about AxCrypt for file encryption? http://www.axantum.com/axcrypt/ (I phrase this as a question because it'd be great if we could have some HN skepticism on this thing. Personally, I think everything basically

You might be right. It's just that the optical system is simpler, and still predicts true randomness. So if I were forced to e.g. build a business based on true random numbers, I'd probably go for the simpler system.

Interesting, but I don't think this generates true random numbers. The traditional quantum optics setup does, however. The basic design is also a lot simpler: you've got your source of photons, your half-silvered mirror, a bunch

I'd love to. I'm just not quite sure where lecture notes stand, legally speaking. If I send the files to just a few people I theoretically know, I guess it's like lending a book to a friend. But putting them all up for public

Drop me an email and I can send you 20+ short PDFs worth of lecture notes from a quantum information course I took at Imperial College, if you wish. They're probably as good a 'primer' as any, since they basically go from und
