Those visitors probably didn't make it to your server, and got lost during redirects (canceled the request). This makes sense if they are using 3G. As there are at least 1 (sometimes 2) redirects between the click and your site. They track the visitor before they get redirected obviously.

I have dev'd for an advertising company, have worked with several campaigning networks like HasOffers, and have found similar results. This is more than common.

Still very interesting that the bulk seems to be Android (mobile traffic). A must know if you are not targeting mobile..

It is normal here that about 50% change studies here (Netherlands) in the first year. We even have some rules that make it easier to switch the first half year, and you will get an extra year of scholarships. Because kids are just clueless and usually pick whatever their friends pick. We get a few days we can walk around at campus, and attend a few classes, but that's it.

Also. There are a lot of studies here I feel shouldn't even be university level. However we must not forget that just being 4 years in college and learning whatever you like has. We should never discourage learning. We might want to encourage studies/trades that provide more benefits for our society and economy as a whole. How about free tuition for such studies?

I sometimes have good runs in blackjack.

This theory depends entirely on how you define success.

We often define success as prosperity; by the means of increasing our wealth we gain more security in a lot of parts in our lives. If you then think of wealth as success, we can see why a lot of stammers could be called successful.

how about all the succesful scammers? or lying to your "customers". I know I don't want to do what they do. But I happen to know some people in some industries in IT where it is pretty much the business model. I do get a bit jealous when they expose their flamboyant luxurous lifestyle on Facebook to be honest. so how do you define success? money or happiness ?

Hear hear. Don't give in. If you wanna talk to someone who's had a similar experience. be welcomed. Although it didn't land me in the hospital, I must say I'm thankful of the support of my girlfriend. Even when I was listening to the shadow-people plotting against me, she supported me and helped me pull through. Don't kid yourself when you think you can manage on your own. Even if you have a super strong will which seems you do. The cravings can be bad, and giving in could be in a blink of an eye.

Yeah, routines sure help. I also TRY to put everything back in its own spot, but i always kid myself I can remember every location of everything, and do not need that.

Exercise routines are also helpful (again, if I do not get bored/distracted 5 mins into it... meaning I have to go somewhere where I can only do activity x. Like the climbing gym, or a martial arts class.

Drugs are not easier at all. Like I said, it's still walking a tight-rope. Also like is being pointed out, brains are differently. I do not get the paranoia from 14+ years of Cannabis use, most people develop it after so much time, or have 0 tolerance and get it from occasional use.

And like I stated, it just puts me in a mode of "focus on one thing". It still doesn't want me to actually start doing something I have to, but I don't get distracted too much from what I'm doing.

So YMMV.. as always. I'd promote regular exercise and routines like you mentioned to start with. You should really look into L-Theanine however. Exp if you drink coffee. It takes off the edginess off caffeine (or any stimulant), while you still get the mental stimulus (focus). When I drink a whole pot of green tea, which contains a good amount of caffeine, my heart rate is even more relaxed than normal.

Found an interesting article that discusses the tight-rope add/adhd'ers walk when medicating.

I honestly must say I've never read into Atomoxetine, and it looks interesting.

Edit: A randomised double-blind placebo-controlled trial found that atomoxetine is an efficacious weight loss medication

Never mind..

When I did Amphetamines for the first time (and cocaine for that matter), I was like WOW. I couldn't believe the sheer mental clarity I experienced. This was more like a team of accountants on a high-speed bullet train, filing Kim Dotcom's annual taxes while doing sudoku's in the background.

I managed to take a low dose of l-amp for exactly 2 consecutive days before I started abusing again. Yes it worked, but I just want more and more. You feel like a superhero compared to baseline.

Let me cosign this. Tl;dr I'm a highly functional, auto-didactic freelance programmer and pothead. I get highly stimulated by everything from porn to "dangerous" activity like skateboarding, bouldering, gambling, alcohol and drugs.

Yes. I've never been officially tested, think I slipped the early detection nets. I could read before I went to elementary. I surpassed everyone in basic calculus easily. Usually got bored, and started clowning around a lot. It was a Montessori [1] school and this made me surpass my classmates by about 1,5 year in certain classes like math. I have really poor eyesight, and had really big glasses, so yeah I got messed around with a lot, stood my ground, got into a lot of fights, switched school while skipping a year.

In our schools it is normal that you sit in smaller groups with your classmates, so yeah they did single me out when I got distracted all the time, but this never was sufficient and got kicked out of class a lot of time.

Then when my father died when I was 11 after about a year of fighting with cancer, they started attributing my behavior to that stress factor. (ugh, I told them to eat my shorts, and got strongly opinionated about pediatric workers:) ).

I did do a lot of petty things around that time that would give me thrills. I did manage to spur interest in computers from a very young age which kinda saved me I guess :-) (read on), and impressed my friends with "hacking" 3 digit bicycle code-locks. A lot of pranking, lighting fires. I got into alcohol in my last year of elementary.

I went to a pretty elite high-school when I was just 12. My sister went to the same one, and was a couple years ahead (she finished. I never couldn't cut the two hour a day study requirements. The interpretation of my problematic behavior had already been passed along as info to my high-school teachers (which is usual here). Subsequently I don't think they ever considered ADD/ADHD. In the second year got kicked out of 9/10 classes. My reputation preceded me, and it usually worked to get the class to quiet down by kicking me out. So they started calling me literally a disturbance that was undermining my classmates education.

I went to homework class when I failed the second year for the first time. I ended up sitting around with a bunch of kids just like me: Most of us smoked pot, were all pretty intelligent. And we were great about lying about the amount of homework we had. Enjoyed the free tea and cookies. One of the pediatrics by then said I had ADHD. But I was never hyperactive really. They wanted to put me on Ritalin. My mother was against it, but gave me the choice and I obliged.

After that I switched to a somewhat lower education system in high-school, which made me pass everything without doing anything other than smoke a lot of weed and singling myself out in the class, and just paid attention to the teachers, which worked fine if I was baked.

I've been experimenting with psychedelics since I was 15. First time I took MDMA was age 17. The list of drugs I have experimented with is impressive.

I am still a daily pot smoker, although I found Green Tea, L-Theanine [2] extract and even mild anti-anxiety or anti-depressants to work for me as well. I pick the first two since they are not physically addictive. HOWEVER, they all make me sleepy at some point, and I sometimes f up by power-napping for too long, then battle insomnia at night. This sucks.

I did some Ephederine back in the days when it was still legal, but for lulz, not because I thought it would help my condition. Other than that, never did stimulants (except for MDMA @ party's) until I was around 23-24. I have found stimulants to be extremely addictive to me, so I really shouldn't be near them. Although low dose amphetamines and Methylphenidate do make me a highly productive, I start abusing them really fast, which fast-tracks down into watching a lot of porn. Also, it KILLS my appetite and I've been lean since forever, so it just makes me lose a lot of weight.

I don't wanna go to my doctor to get a script because of these reasons. But I still struggle a lot with finding a balance.

I have been working for companies since the age of 16. I have been self employed freelancer for a year now, and also got a house and mortgage at around the same time. My motivation usually involves paying the bills now :(

When I have interesting new projects lined up (like now), I get highly motivated. But the 10 minute PHP hack I happily postpone until the last possible second.

So yes all in all, I also attribute dopamine. It is also really hard to explain to people why you don't "just do choir x" if you know it will make "choir y & z" easier, or just alleviates stress in general; my brain just obliges. I really really struggle with this.

My saviors for being productive are THC and L-Theanine [2], and it kinda sucks. Amphetamines make me work for hours straight until I finish all the amps and hardly eat. And weed makes me eat a lot and sleep a lot..

Also I do not recommend smoking weed at all!!! You should be vaping it :P

Does this also mean that "back in the days" when continents were kludged together, the rotational spin was way faster/slower?

I accidentally setup EC2's in another Region (and effectively "forgot" about them. Woke up with a 1.2k invoice + $250 more in charges for March.

Amazon voided all charges without question. Their level of customer support is off the charts. But AWS would never be my first pick to start up something. Your costs will be way way lower when going dedicated. Obviously you should be able to scale, but I think startups generally overestimate their success when it comes to that, and wasting a lot of money for things they have no use for yet.

You could have your AWS deployment strategies ready for when the need would arise..

I got a lot more excited when I read about this a while ago (2012) [1]. It also states to be slightly more accurate. It also seems less cumbersome.

I haven't tried anything, but it seems there are already lots of solutions and this is just another approach.

I am basing this on remembering one case here in The Netherlands where this supposedly happened, when a bankrobber had to pay a sum of money, but he could put up his pistol as expenses. [1] The Districts Attorney's office was quoted on saying that in certain cases this could be done. Also stating that for example in the cultivation of marijuana, you get taxed for an estimated income amount. You could subtract your expenses n that estimation.

Maybe that's better in the U.S. then..

Wow didn't know MIT was a pawn in the COINTELPRO.

And they can subtract their investments (e.g. handguns, crowbars ) from income tax.

Hydrocarbon based fuels are 1850's tech. It boggles my mind people even still use it.

Ah, should not comment before the coffee kicks in... That's actually an awesome concept. Thanks for the explanation.

>> The inspiration for MozDef comes from the large arsenal of tools available to attackers. Suites like metasploit, armitage, lair, dradis. Defenders are usually limited to wikis, ticketing systems and manual tracking databases attached to the end of a Security Information Event Management (SIEM) system.

I read this as: attackers are usually one step ahead at least, and "defenders" (sic: developers (?) ) do not like pentesting? These tools are available to anyone..

These amounts are lost all the time in governments in conventional currency..

Yes these are perfectly well economical if you grow pot. you can also get some good wattage/$ on aliexpress, but i dont know how these panels perform.

I'm sorry, I didn't do any other research other than the info on the project website. I recently got into BOINC again because of my frustration with so many people having their computers churning away just to generate a few $ worth of cryptocoins each day. I was looking for some interesting projects to grind, and found WCG.

I find it really sucky that it hardly gets any traction anymore. Our combined computing powers are vastly growing every day, yet these efforts are not reaching mainstream. Bigger companies who'd love to show they are involved with the world, would rather post donations.

Maybe donations are more effective, who knows. I have a feeling we are missing out. I've been thinking of ways to have the system get more traction, or something that would stimulate development/improvements of a distributed computing grid for world problems, but can't figure it out.

If anything I would love to contribute my time and efforts to promote such a thing. I think being able to prolong the live expectancy of many patients, cheaper cures, or right-out curing some types of cancer is a very viable platform that could get some traction down these lines, and a very important one at that.

I can see why the idea of looking for ET or analyzing gamma ray bursts to map neutron stars is a bit distant for people.

I think this proves once again that scientists suck at marketing. Maybe we can help out, start a combined collaboration project to improve the efficiency of distributed workloads in this specific field to start with.

As I'm writing this, more and more I want to do this. But I'm just a webdev with the powers of Google at my disposal.

Here is a motivational song for y'all [1]

Everyone who owns a computer can start contributing its power right away.

electromagnetic containment sounds like the most viable solution. Now how are we going to solve the inevitable heat dissipation problem. Basically we're trying to mimic the conditions of the sun, and wield such immense power in a very tiny handle no? Don't think this will ever be possible :)

Yes seriously, this was my first thought. The funny thing is that it isn't even dubstep. It is some kind of subgenre that seems to have been the trend for 2013/2014. It sounds like a microsoft surface commercial. I coined the term "clubstep" for it. Looks like someone beat me to it [1]. I've also noted an alarming trend in latest sci-fi movies with this awful music being portrayed still being the hottest thing in clubs decades from now (Total Recall 2).

In all I would propose fire as a viable way to kill it with.

Everything he said.

Couple points: I checked it on my mobile earlier, and the landing, although still pretty looking, doesn't scale responsively, having a pretty small HTC, it was kinda tedious to fiddle with scrolling left to right/ and which kinda made me forget about it until I noticed the thread again today. Anyway I understand that this wouldn't have been your focus, but maybe it will give you a small % boost :)

In any case, really well put together product, and although I will likely never have use for it myself I'm impressed

One other thing: The introduction video is really cute, and I love your original style and branding. But it hardly provided much information about your product imho, other than what I've already got from the text on your main page.

But maybe this is just a designer/programmer style discrepancy.

The best products I've signed up for seemed to have this doctrine. I think it also shows confidence in your product!
