I did a keto diet for a few months 3 years back and one of the things that I noticed very quickly was the reduced need for sleep. I slept at least an hour less every night and I felt great. Apparently it's due to a reduced production of melatonin.

I think that Google went to Zurich because an early engineer was from there.

I have done a lot of progress in German using Duolingo. Memrise helps with vocabulary too.

yup it seems to have been patched soon after I posted, however quite a few from here are still vulnerable:

A theory is that the cargo area of the plane contained valuable goods: gold, silver, diamonds, etc and that's what the hijackers were after.
From this: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-03-15/missing-malaysian-f...
the 777 can have up to 25 tons worth of cargo payload.
25 tons of gold is worth ~ $1B, that's quite a bit more than the value of the plane itself.

The app is terrific. Can't wait for a revision that includes all the popular tv shows.

But it's supposedly also very easy to detect whether you're being tracked or not, right? GSM+GPS seems a lot more stealthy.
