alekvuka··on Your heart rate at gunpoint
No worries at all!! This is my first foray into writing publicly and I am learning a lot from this and other discussions! It's really interesting and helpful! I'll incorporate some of the input into future articles. I'll certainly be mindful that the audience might be much broader than originally intended and to structure the content accordingly.

Yes - there is actually no way to purchase anything form emozia right now, which in this context is really funny/ironic.

The world might be just a little brighter than your null hypothesis :)

I wrote the story first and foremost for myself, to get over what I felt was the shame of being robbed and powerless. So I started writing about my experience, what I learned and my takeaways and that process helped me forgive and move on! I shared the story because I thought it might help other people go though whatever difficult thing they are going though.

A lot of the story and a lot of details are not told in the medium post. The guys that robbed me are still at large and the investigation is still open. I hope to share more details in the future when I can!

i thought that the note about emozia was relevant to the story - since I don't think a lot of people in the general population wear custom hr sensors and analyze data coming from them. This was a post on medium. But it seems that the note bothered some people and distracted from the point of the story so I edited it out.

The case that I wanted to make in the article is live your life the way you want to live it, because knowing that you didn't when you run out of time is, apparently, really bad for your heart!

I hope you enjoyed the article and that it helped you in some way!
