there's a number of new testing companies popping up (like superpower.com) that I recently used which make it easy to get these tests. doctors don't like ordering them because then they become medically responsible for the results.

This looks awesome

This is useful. What is next on the integration roadmap besides Zoom – presume Hangouts? Not sure if new FB live features have an API

We're working on adding payment support, custom registration questions, more event page themes, event subscriptions for your attendees, and integrations to more tools like Slack, Google Hangouts, etc!

Facebook/Instagram and social platforms have notoriously restrictive API's and are closed-architecture so not sure if something we want to mess with yet.

An absurd lesson in acquisition due diligence.

Even governance in the absence of utility can't stop human nature.

Imagine how amplified this problem will become once creating a 'deepfake' or fictitious GAN-generated photo is as easy as typing an emoji.

Couldn't agree more. Flexibility is amazing, but loneliness creeps in all too often.

And here is the problem with the unaccountability of the NSA: if not even the broad outline of its operational statistics is available for public scrutiny, and we can't trust the politicians who do have that data available (assuming it is), how can we have a meaningful public debate about this?

Never believe marketing.

Do you have data to back this up?

Of course... here's a link to a classified document you can check out.

If this is true, then does the pre-existing size of BTC and other widely mined crypto-currencies create a moat? How can a new up-start coin ever hope to gain significant traction with the possibility of a 51% attack?

The parent’s scenario was predicated on using the same hashing algorithm for the mining/proof of work as the dominant coin. So you can avoid that by using a different hashing algorithm.

Monero plans to do that indefinitely, by constantly changing to a new hashing algorithm that doesn’t have dedicated ASIC chips for it.

You have to use a PoW that's different enough from popular blockchains that they are unable to use speciality hardware against you.

I stopped reading as soon as the author compared Prudential’s liability size to the US GDP. Just because numbers are similarly large does not make them comparable. Its like comparing Bezo’s $147B fortune to the 147B grains of sand on a 100 yard stretch of Rainier beach in Seattle. Not apples to apples.

They're both dollars. Not making a good argument here.

The number refers to annual GDP which is dollars per year. Comparing assets/liabilities to annual GDP makes about as much sense as comparing distance to speed, eg: "The speed of 150 miles per second is tiny compared to the distance of 1000 miles"

I'm not a fan of dismissive & judgmental comments, but the parent HN comment is correct on the technical aspect.

It tells you how soon a debt could be paid. The speed of 150mph tells you how quickly you would travel 1000 miles.
