Couple questions:

1) Do we think this is actually how the FBI found this kid or is this simply what they're saying in order to keep some other tool hidden?

2) Is there a way to block or manually change the GDID from being revealed. If it's the browser leaking it, do all browsers leak it?

And it doesn't have to be something super difficult. I realized after my divorce a decade ago that due to all the hours I had spent working I was a bit of a shit dad and didn't really have a great relationship with my kids.

One of the best things I did was started a "family game night" every week. Bought a handful of board games and each Saturday we'd sit down with pizza and games. No cellphones at the table. It was a huge success for us. It allowed us to learn new things together and it helped build a foundation for us all to grow from. Even now with all but one of my kids grown, when we get together games are brought out and we have a blast. Nowadays I'm teaching my grandson to play some simple ones and can't wait for him to join in.

I want an API to tap into time itself. Eventually, I'd want to be able to travel through it, but in the beta I'd settle for just the ability to pause it whenever I like. :)

You're right, it's situations like that which brought up this idea. Some way to reliably document a statement or idea and the date just seems like a useful service.

The notarization would be a bit difficult since each state has their own rules and laws. Additionally, I think they all have a residency requirements, at least the two states I've been a notary in did.

That's an interesting idea that I hadn't considered. Thanks.

But can't the time and dates can be changed those.

As for recording phone calls, the laws vary from state to state. The states I have experience with only require one person on the conversation to be aware that it's being recorded.

Audiobook: I just finished Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson. I highly recommend it if you're into fantasy type novels. It has a unique magic system and is very well written. I've been off and on with War and Peace for a while. Kind of dry so far.

Kindle: The Law by Frederic Bastiat, extremely good book describing the fundamental purpose of law and government.

Dead Tree: Essence of Discrete Mathematics by Neville Dean, seems to be pretty good book, just haven't devoted enough time to reading it.

> As for legal documents, those are all based on the standard work week as well, so that argument falls as well.

No, it doesn't. Quite a few legal documents are signed on Saturdays and then overnighted back so that the sender can have it back by Monday.

> 2) Reduce delivery to 3 days a week. Would anyone complain about this? How many people even check their mail every single day without fail?

If my own sphere of influence, I only know 1 person who _doesn't_ check their mail daily.
