I think what he meant with those words was that experts think it's impossible to create such a backdoor and keep it 100% safe from being leaked or exploited by bad actors. Which I think we all here can agree with.

To people saying "UK" as a selling point, doesn't ING work in the UK as well? I'm not saying ING is the future of banking by all means, but they're pretty much (totally if you want) office-less.

I had no idea about your Sweden claim so I looked it up. From [1] the only similar thing I can read is related to The Legal Prescription Program, which IMO is very different than "legalizing drugs (or just heroin)". Basically, the

Would you mind sharing a link to the app? I haven't seen (that I'm aware of) many apps using React Native.

Considering Europe's experience with high denomination notes, I strongly think this is a bad idea. In fact, Europe is considering eliminating €200 and €500 notes, since they're mostly used for illegal activities. Example: 75% of t

I suggest you start with HeadSpace, it's an app with zero spirituality or religion, and IMO killer content (if I'm not mistaken, the voice of the videos is that of the founder himself, who used to be a monk). Most of the content y

I agree. Although "I'll go meditate on that" can also be an expression meaning "I'll think about it". Nothing wrong with that, but it's true it leads to people having a misconception of what meditation is

Your last statement really resonates with my experience. The effects of meditation are indeed subtle but powerful. And I also vouch for Headspace.

A lot of time? I'd say 30 minutes a day (consistently) is enough to get significant benefits. And after all, don't we all easily waste 30 minutes a day or things which really don't contribute much to our lives? Say, browse re

I think the key issue is that, if an investment bank fails and takes all of its investors money with it, well that's kind of like a startup failing. Investors know the risk. But right now, if a bank fails due to its bad investments, it

This is awesome. One observation: maybe in this case, including the number of subscribers is actually a deterrent for getting people to subscribe. I'm talking about the "Join over 1100 subscribers." line. You may be triggerin

I'm not sure if Hailo works like MyTaxi, which is quite popular in Barcelona (specially since Uber got banned). Personally, I don't like it. It's just an app that replaces calling a taxi company. So yeah, better than calling,

Maybe he means actually understanding and not "well in JS you do things this way, dunno exactly why".

I recently spent a few months in Buenos Aires, and these sort of "illegal" restaurants (in the chef's home) are common and have been for years. In fact, they're amazing. Of course, it doesn't happen EU and the US fo

Also, I wonder: didn't Valve used to have a normal hierarchy years ago? You know, back when they used to ship stuff? I'm genuinely curious to find out if that's the case. If that's true, then it seems that Valve only &qu

They probably said that because this was an availability outage. If this was a postmortem after some data had been lost, they would've ended it with "For us, durability is the most important feature of DynamoDB".

I think that 1000 figure comes from a statement they made along the lines of "one day we could be funding 1000 companies through this Fellowship program". I don't think they had a figure in mind for this batch.

Well of course there's not much to do with it now (other than develop for it), since no good VR sets have come to market yet (this was a developer kit you're talking about), and no games have shipped for them. It's like sayin

IIRC I had 5 diopters in one eye, 6 in the other (not sure if that's how you measure eyesight in the US, I'm from Spain). I was farsighted (I've heard shortsightness is healed better with LASIK?) and had some astigmatism as w

I had LASIK 7 years ago, for free actually (luckily my company's health insurance covered it if your sight was as bad as mine). I do see as well as I saw with glasses, so not having to bother with them has been amazing. But I never saw

After installing it, only the colors on the code editor change. How do I get the tabs and file list panel to look like in those screenshots? It looks like a standard OSX control in mine.

I thought the same thing. The product looks great, but setting up SES is something that should not be required.

Depends on the project. Either that it has the potential to make money, or to help/inspire people (my blog), or it allows me to learn a particular skill (doing something lately to learn Backbone and other JS technologies), or it's

Spotify already pays 70% of their revenue in royalties to record labels. What do you think would be fair? 90%?
