https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mudra It's a fairly comprehensive write-up. I'm mostly familiar with the Hatha Yoga context of mudras. There's also a few dozen books on the topic. I'd stick to the old

The mortality rate may seem very low, but the symptoms are far more severe. When you get the flu it's rare you get pneumonia, not so much with this virus. The biggest problem is that it spreads without symptoms. That is, you can be inf

This is censorship, and it's a slippery slope. IMHO the right way to go about this, would be for amazon to attach a letter to the cover of the book saying something like: "We're sorry you bought this book, but we do believe i

>Amazon can claim it is both centralized and immutable, provided you trust Amazon. No it can't. The second it is hacked and somebody alters the ledger, it is no longer immutable. Centralized security models eventually all get hacked

Actually, I'm pretty sure most people don't have a clue when it comes to blockchain. Amazon can't claim it is both centralized and immutable. That's complete nonsense. Also WTF is the point of a blockchain if you need to

Apple clearly needs to hire this guy. The only thing I disagree with is forcing people to learn many features during the setup process when you get your new phone. Pretty much nobody I know likes to sit there and read user manuals or be for

>ETH is Betamax to BTC's VHS. More like the Netflix to BTC's VHS I personally equate it to DOS vs Android. The potential for ETH is massive... granted security concerns, scalability, POS are equally massive hurdles to overcome.

I was expecting the AI to reveal for the first time what the bats were saying, instead we learn that AI significantly under-performed what humans already understood about bat communications. Why is this even relevant? Also understanding 61

That didn't work for me. The top result is still the WSJ URL; however, a few links lower, we can find another URL which does show the same full article: http://newspot.me/n/03LT3uuT

I know Slack is trendy, but as a non programmer and old IRC user, I find it is slow, centralized and clunky.

Pff that's nothing. I could build a fake app, in less than 1 hour, for $100 and get about 5 million downloads in 1 day. Step 1. Find some opensource app code Step 2. Call it Pokemon Go 2! Step 3. Upload it to Appstore & link it to

"pre-mine" is a 2013 term. The correct term now, is "ICO" Initial Coin Offering. What you are suggesting is that the core devs were greedy in their setup of the coin. This is far from the truth and you can read online al

Better idea: Submit it anonymously with your public PKI hash. Then wait X years (5?) and optionally announce yourself by signing the hash to prove you are the author. That way, enough time is given to have the content unbiasedly considered

Warning: Misleading title. It is talking about what happens to your physical body, something everybody already knows what happens after you die, though perhaps not to that level of detail. NOTHING TO SEE HERE, move along now.

So people have to authorize the purchase via their smartphones anyway, so why not just have a simple amazon app with the list of your frequent consumable purchases and have a 1 click shop button for what you need? That way you can order it
