Would it work to do that by IP, and allow only X different IPs for an account to try to login on a single day? e.g. if you've tried to login with 10 different IPs on that day, you will no longer be able to login that day. (Of course this wo

Yes and yes. Both didn't work, or didn't have enough effect to get me out of the no-motivation cycle. Ergo, SSRIs (which thankfully did work). Yes to the third question, too (as a matter of fact I had a cholesteatoma). Could you tell me how

I was going to respond to a few of the comments here, but then I realized I was going to say pretty much the same to all of them, so here goes: I've got clinical depression. What this means is that there is something fundamentally wrong in

Yup, that's part of the game. (Shameless advertising: go to DEF CON. Seriously. It's more fun than Disneyland!)

Hint: comments are for communicating stuff to people. Posting a braindump and pretty much saying 'just figure out what I meant for yourself' is both rude and annoying.

I do. You don't show up in a suit at DEF CON, you just don't.

Sigh. Feds have been an integral part since DEF CON 1. They're welcome, and booing them of the stage is just childish. Again, I'm pretty sure the majority of hackers don't agree with them, and may even think they're a bunch of morons, but i

"Edit: I should add that no chemical is good for everyone, not even caffeine." I don't think it's the caffeine that causes all these benefits. (Though, being an avid hacker myself, I of course can think of a few benefits of that particular

"China has done this to U.S. companies in China, repeatedly, over and over and over again." I'm curious. Can you can name a few examples?

Pah. You clearly don't have much experience with roguelikes. ;)

You could say that, but it would be wrong. A tangent is an equation of the form y = ax + b at point P , which just happens to have (well, by definition) a value for a that equals the rate of change at P (of the original equation).

And not even that is necessarily true. I'm a physicist, and I would be wary of trying to prove any commonly accepted theory wrong - even if all my data points that way. Contrary to popular belief, getting data that is too non-mainstream a

"In the long run of history, do the conclusions of science get overturned more often than the conclusions of other fields?" This would not tell you anything about bias, though. It leaves out the possibility that scientists are simply right

That would be an interesting natural oddity. For a perfect future, just get enough people together to predict all the different ways in which the world can end.

"which no one studies in school" In the Netherlands, German is compulsory in high school at the HAVO and VWO levels. Regrettably, I've pretty much forgotten all of it. That being said, the Dutch people are already half German.

" This is the core of the disappointment that many of us feel with the Sparrow acquisition. It’s not about the $15 or less we spent on the apps. It’s not about the team’s well-deserved payout. It’s about the loss of faith in a philosophy t

That was the reason (and the fact that an antiphoton IS its own photon, and, well, complicated stuff), don't worry. ;)

I'm inclined to say both, but I'm not sure, because working with hardware just so happens to be my area of expertise. On the other hand, my official job is that of a physicist, so you may have a point.

"I think you're seriously overestimating the quality of the model. This isn't particle physics -- it's not as if there's an equation that precisely predicts the results of any particular molecular interaction. We don't even know if we know

No, because the 'I think' does not mean what you think it means. You can't take it out of its social context, which is to inform people that you assign a lower certainty to the next thing you are going to say. (Of course, you could say all

They're not even losing anything, because the app didn't disappear into thin air . To be completely honest, I think most of this is simply people being a little dramatic.

"This is interesting from a technology perspective, perhaps, but it's hard to call it science." As a physicist and scientist myself, I feel extremely inclined to say 'potato, potahto' at this one. This technology allows us to test many more
