Huh, so you can run binaries in GAE by downloading a statically linked app to /tmp, chmod'ing & executing it? And there would be no limits on how it's run? That's crazy & pretty cool!

Curious what made you make separate "See it in action!" & "Watch a quick GIF!" buttons that are taking the visitors away from the main landing page to only show an .mp4 & a .gif file? If the videos are too big to autoplay - maybe you could play them on hover, right inside the phone that's already placed next to the buttons? (sorry, no comment on the app itself, there are plenty other ones doing the same thing or maybe I just missed what's it doing differently).

They're not. They keys (and many other things) are stored in "carrier settings" that your provider pushes to your smartphone. In the past we had to set things up like APN & etc manually for the internet to work but not anymore with the settings being pushed automatically (if the provider supports it).

On iOS you can view the current version of pushed settings by seeing the Settings > General > About -> Carrier option.

"Carrier settings updates are small files that can include updates from Apple and your carrier to carrier-related settings, such as network, calling, cellular data, messaging, personal hotspot, and voicemail settings". [1]

Sorry for your loss.

I don't really know how all that works but just curious - is it documented / can they prove that the pre-existing condition wasn't mentioned at that time? Sounds pretty convenient for the insurance company to purposely "forget" something like this and then abuse that information when the time comes since, unfortunately, the person who could argue it is no longer alive.

This reminds me how once several years ago I had to fly MKE -> ORD -> LHR where the distance between MKE and ORD is about 70 miles. The MKE -> ORD flight was full by the way and it took ridiculous 2 hours to get there (from boarding to leaving the plane). I think I did it because the direct flight was several hundred $ extra and I happened to be in MKE area anyway.
