Natanael_L I just skimmed through it but will read it later today. I worked on a prototype earlier this year implementing the blockchain part, not secure yet, specially it doesn't implement the end-to-end encryption. Anyhow you can rea

Yes, with end-to-end voting you can be certain that your vote wasn't modified but you can't prove to someone whom you voted for https://www.cs.jhu.edu/~sdoshi/index_files/randomness_paper.... Using inter

Not sure if this happens to others but in my case some times I'm ENTP and others INTP. I guess I'm somehow in the middle and it might depend on the day.

It would be valuable for me. We have a product that relies heavily on Parse. The model is a white labeled solution. We currently have a potential client that wants to host everything and we are kind of stuck with Parse. I could simply char

I'm currently using Parse for data and S3 for file storage. I will give it a try to PFFile in another project to see how it works.

Yes, that's what they told me, you must meet certain requirements and also the officer has to be convinced that your visa will bring something good to the US. So it's the requirements + strong proof that you will create jobs in the US or yo

No problem. The Tourist visa is B-1/B-2 I enter with B-1 that is for Business, I state clearly that my visit is for Business, and when they ask me in customs I always say the truth, that I have a SW dev company and I'm visiting clients and
