Hey, looks interesting. Top nav links are broken though.
Same story here, just with modafinil. All the signs were there since as far back as I was 7 years old.

I've been able to control my focus so much better which seems to make me less tired. When I sit to get work done and inevitably get distracted, I can recover instead of go down a spiral of unproductiveness. I'm also better at prioritizing my focus on the things that are important, such as a must-have feature for launch, rather than a nice-to-have that I just enjoy working on more.

And surprisingly, I've been getting some of the best sleep of my life so far on a pill designed to keep you awake. Who knew?

This happened to a friend of mine. She had listed a mattress with bed for sale on FB marketplace. Someone reached out and bought it and said would arrange pick up. They sent a screenshot of them Zelleing her. After a few minutes they reached out and told her they changed their mind because they cant pick it up and if they can Zelle them back. She did thinking it just hadn't hit her account yet. $1800 down the drain.

for $199/year?
I get how when compared to other treatments for diabetes it may not increase your risk but when we are comparing with other treatments for weight management or just no treatment at all, I find it hard to believe that it doesn't significantly increase the risk for pancan. I understand it's FDA approved but so have been all other drugs in its class that are allegedly linked to pancreatic cancer.
How is the drug different than victoza or any of the other weight management drugs that are currently under investigation for causing pancreatic cancer?
This is awesome. I like that its so focused. Are there any good resources you referenced for building for HIPAA compliance?

Lastpass. It's awesome and easy to use. Wish the UI was a little better but it's not terrible.

Re:Is it worth buying a MacBook Air? on Wednesday August 28, 2013 @08:35AM (#6289506)
I absolutely love my macbook air. Had it for about 2 years now. Got the very low end model at the time and use it for software development and photoshop and it runs beautifully. My only regret is not shelling out a few more bucks for a larger ssd (i have the 128gb model). The battery life has been great even after 2 years.

As far as build quality, I'd say its unmatched. I've dropped it numerous times and have never put a case on it. Never even put it in a sleeve. I've left it on top of my car and driven off. It has a few scratches, but thats about it. Maybe I've gotten lucky.

You are a perfect fit for advertising agencies with digital departments. They usually need a jack of all trades. One who can build simple html/css sites, write Javascript, iOS app development and even backend development for larger campaigns.

THIS. I've been using this in my projects and it cuts a lot of work and makes my code way cleaner.

I wanna see Xi'an's levels. I've been to Shanghai and Beijing and they are nowhere near as bad as Xi'an.

Re:BankSimple invites first customers; rebrands itself as Simple on Tuesday November 08, 2011 @06:09PM (#3213342)
Love the new name and domain. Love the design of the card!

Two questions though:

1) Are actual branches in the roadmap at all? Digital banking is great but has its limitations.

2) How about deposits? Can we take pictures of a check? Or make deposites at an ATM?

One of the best speeches of all time.
