Curious - why dont people love them? I assume just not as powerful as gas?


They chew through batteries so fast and they have a really high pitched sound ~16kHz that gives me tinnitus when I use it without ear protection. I suppose the same would happen with a gas one, but I was hoping to avoid wearing ear protection.

Hey all, I’m Brendan. I'm a product leader with 12 years of experience looking for my next gig. I've worked on B2B and B2C products and have a ton of mobile/international experience. Also, love to code and enjoy the technical side of things. Feel free to get in touch if you have a role on your team!


There's been a lot of talk about Dropbox and Snapchat keeping your deleted files. How is your technology actually performing the "annihilation"?


Our approach is to make sure future decryption of the data is impossible.

To do this the wrapped keys and the locally stored nonce+counter are deleted and the cloud provider is commanded to delete the encrypted blobs.

The platform uses a graph to figure out what references that data (forwarded messages, "stashed" copies, etc.) and cleans those up as well, pushes out a message (GCM, APNS, and our MQTT) with deleted data references (encryptedUUIDs) for devices to clean up.

For offline mode, senders can specify the "not available offline" restriction which makes the clients call a HEAD/GET each time visiting that encryptedUUID, purge decryption keys after use, and clear decrypted data after viewing.

Note: our system is more focused on removing trust in the cloud, not trust in your recipients.


I didn't even know they have a patent on the tech for listening your conversations when using Facebook... and now I read about brain waves.


Do all Ethereum startups really have to fund themselves through tokens? No one has funds for investment anymore? I'm scared of these token-funded startups because eventually many of them will turn out to have been scams, or ruled by incompetent managers.


Worth pointing out that the article defines middle class as an annual household income of $50-125K. That's higher than I would've expected on the high end. Also, they rightfully call out too-restrictive zoning as being responsible for a lot of the shortage.
