Ok good! But how do you contain the blast without harming the ship or sending it off course?
Nice, but the small powered pallets would have to catch up with the ship and quickly won't be able to even if given initial momentum

Idea is to lower the dry mass to achieve higher acceleration by shooting fuel pallets from a space based platform to be then collected and ingested by the accelerating spaceship "riding the fuel trail". Problem is kinetic energy of pallet impact on ship seems to equal energy density of monopropellant at relatively low speeds. Thoughts?

What's the name of the anime?
The underlying substrate on which bits register has mass but do they?
Thought doesn't have mass. I see no reason to discount superluminal communication.
I'll take that as a compliment. I think.
I like the analogy to neurons but since we are sentient being this is a second order collective and I think we will know, at least to a degree, that we are merging.
I imagine many people will feel the same way. Do you think the Oneness will let you alone or pull you in for your own good :-)

It was all over the news - all over the world. I guess if you ask a random person on the street he'll tell you he heard ISIS hacked the US military :-)

Power consumption divided by Android into percent per app
Hi Peter,
Thank you for your comprehensive and insightful comments. We have a great team at LogDog and a product that can really help people. I agree that this is a complicated field and that the "bad guys" are really really smart. But you must agree with me that that is no reason not to push forward with ideas and technologies that can help people better protect themselves.
In the short time since we launched, our system has already made several confirmed catches - where we were able to warn users of unauthorized access to their accounts.
We put tremendous effort into securing the privacy of our users' data. We have undergone an external security audit and will continue to do so periodically.
We look forward to a fruitful discussion with the security community and to providing a service that we know to be both necessary and important.
There are various reasons why a cybersecurity company can't disclose the methods and mechanisms it uses in detail. We have our users' interest in mind.
We keep battery consumption <1% and compress all data traffic.
Very good point. It took us a while to get around that :-)
If you know something suspicious is happening you can change your password (from the app) and throw the hacker out. You can also avoid rolling-hacks (ex: when your email is used to reset passwords on other services)
Obviously I can't go into too much detail, but we cross reference data from the different services we monitor and thus create a fairly robust usage profile.
LogDog does not save account credentials. They are kept only on the device and are never sent to our servers. The servers only keep anonymous data. There is nothing to hack.
Your credentials stay on your phone (where you already have most of your passwords). They are never sent to LogDog servers.
LogDog monitors multiple parameters and will not send you alerts just because your VPN changes IPs. We establish a usage profile and only alert on significant anomalies.
That's the thing... It's easier for people to download an app than to keep up-to-date on security events and proactively update to higher entropy passwords.
