Well there is usually some certainty associated with biometrics and I'm not sure a single photograph would provide enough certainty. For example iPhoto's facial recognition is constantly confusing my face with my moms (and I have

What if your roommate raids the minibar? Who picks up the tab? Looks like a cool service though, I'd consider using it.

That's a really good point. Theres no other app I use consistently which requires me to ask people for help in person.

Seems like a ripoff at $199. Aesthetically it looks pretty nice, but it requires a phone for GPS and music. For people that run often or longer distances I don't think it makes much sense. For $50 more you can get the Tom Tom Spark, wh

The first sign I got that my card was stolen was a 69 cent transaction at a Marriot in Vermont (I live in the Bay Area so this was weird).

Yeah outside of tapeworms, eating at a calorie deficit should always result in weight loss (although not healthy, sustainable weight loss).

Everything in moderation. That's a decent rule of thumb.

Why the default? Well there is very little cost for what it offers. It takes developers a few days or more likely now a few hours to setup and only serves the viewer better. It affords the visitor some level of trust that the site hasn&#x27

Nope, but there is no reason to think that a sufficiently motivated and well funded party wouldn't be able to pull it off. If governments can build things like stuxnet then a project like this should be relatively straightforward.

Well if you're blogging about something important, you don't want the government to MITM your page and edit it without your permission. Imagine if the government did that for a major news site - lots of control.

Woah, comments like these are why I read hackernews. Sounds potentially dangerous from a hacking perspective but almost certainly this will be the future.

They do allow exporting transactions to JSON and CSV, so that could be a starting point if you're willing to work with the challenges of authentication. https://www.simple.com/help/articles/account-info/

How do you all feel about testing on dogs? I know a guy who has induced strokes in beagles while they were anesthetized and inside an MRI. In the past we were never able to see a stroke occur and the brain's response in real time. The

ahh thank you! So instead of trying to prevent attacks by intercepting them (which is probably doomed to fail anyway), we should work on the greater issue of diplomacy in general.

Sounds like a cool project! I'm not sure it's necessary for you to use a No-SQL db - in fact I'd avoid it until you have a good reason to use it. Postgres is great but you might already be familiar with it.

I'm genuinely curious, if it's not more data, what do we need to differentiate between a would be terrorist and a run of the mill extremist? Like better systems for prioritizing, filtering people?

It's pretty funny that on one hand you say security is a big issue but with the other you are frustrated they haven't moved away from paper fast enough. Paper based systems when used correctly can be very secure. That being said t

De-identification is perfect for a lot of medical research, where you're looking for general trends, and don't need or want specific patient identifying information sitting around on your hard drive. For example, Mimic-III is a gr
