Was there a moment you lost sight of your phone, while it was unlocked?

Yup, perhaps they put the username of the logged in user in an encrypted/signed cookie, and the private key was in the source code.

Get on a decent program and eat more. Physical strength is an example of a skill that is absolutely a matter of hard work, not being born lucky.

It's very polarizing. That seems like something US politics could use less of.

What's your strategy? Why do you consider yourself a "startup", as opposed to just being a webshop selling pills?

A properly configured $5 VPS can handle a massive amount of traffic if it's just serving a single static (cached) page. But to follow up on your point: I hope the EB script that updates the pages automatically while doing maintenance w

You could make the same claim about bitcoin not being needed, given that we have money and a working banking system. Your POV is just as invested in bitcoin as others are in Ethereum.

You didn't invest in a "distributed investment and unstoppable tool that is distributed", you invested in a partnership with the DAO code explicitly stated as the (potentially legally binding) operating document. If you didn&

No, the DAO believers explicitly decided "f * the government, in code we trust" and wrote in their contract that whatever the DAO did, according to its code, was right. You don't have such an agreement with Amazon. Regarding

The DAO was officially introduced by slock.it with "the code of the contract is the absolute truth, any other description is just a guideline", which was hailed as a new miracle by the investors, but now that it doesn't mean

What? It was clear from the very beginning to anyone who actually looked into what the DAO was and how it worked, except those wanting to strike it rich believing the crypto hype. You're saying you trusted it, got burned, and are alrea

Why can't kids play on a street designed only for traffic to houses on that street? I played on the street all the time as a child. Of course, my streets weren't flooded with drivers trying to save a few minutes by driving through

Your traffic to websites goes trough a fixed "circuit" (that changes every few minutes). Within a circuit, the exit node sees all outbound connections you make, or don't make.

Your call with the lab is an attempt to appeal to authority. Also, thanks for the "sigh". I read your link. It's about blood glucose. Not about weight. The crux of your argument is that blood glucose response equals uptake of

>So, for example, person A can eat 3000 calories of cookies per day, but would gain weight on 3000 calories of rice. Person B could be the opposite. From the paper, it looks like genetics is a factor, though epigenetic factors and microb

First: if you vote to do something illegal as a shareholder, then you can be held responsible. Even in a limited liability corporation. [0] Second: it's not a company: it's a partnership, by my interpretation. By law (in all count

The people in the DAO partnership are responsible. Just like they would be in a partnership that doesn't have a DAO managing their money.

The folks who created it (slock.it) are planning to be the first proposal voted on. Now you might understand why the incentives are so incredibly slanted towards yes votes (and even more so on the first vote, given the extraPremium or whate

I suspect being hit by the beams might harm the victim, with the electricity just being a bonus. I doubt the laser generators are cheap and portable as well.

Comparing to JPEG seems somewhat dishonest (or thoughtless), considering the large parts of one color in some of the images. PNG and other algorithms not designed for detailed pictures would probably do better.

Or it could be a way to make sure responses wouldn't derail towards the correct pronoun to use. I read developer2's response as being very presumptuous and prepossessed, and was wondering why.

The only reason I (somewhat) trust the encryption in Whatsapp is that it came from OpenWhisperSystems. For Allo, I imagine I'd feel the same. Some of the value is in signalling to your users.
