So those millions of Chinese people use a Chinese service instead.

To add another data point, my pebble gets 6/7 days regularly. Yours is probably deficient if it only gets 1.5.

The side-effect was definitely not accidental. China has blocked the major company in every internet industry (social networks, search engines, video streaming, etc.), and as a result domestic products are booming. Now these domestic products are starting to expand internationally with the revenue they get from the artificial Chinese market.

Korea did something something similar with its Chaebols' (Hyundai, Samsung, or other large Korean companies in countless industries) in the 80s. It had protectionist policies that let the Korean companies charge outrageous prices domestically, and used that revenue to become very competitive internationally. And it worked.

Not so fast

Note this graph measures the % of total names, not the % of total boys with names ending with 'n' (which would be much more meaningful).

Just a heads up, your link to Android SMS Relay is broken here (http://nyaruka.com/#open). I think you intended to link this one https://github.com/nyaruka/android-sms-relay.

But great stuff! I'm going to try and play around with it over the next few weeks.

5 is pretty equivalent to the mining of precious metals (well those with no practical applications).

What would be great is a kind of gmail (or any email client) app store. You give permission to different applications to work on top of your email client to react to different email content. ie Mint/your bank automatically adding item receipts to the card purchase it has access too.

The added features of email metadata can be achieved without the added complexities of adding metadata to all email, with a simple NLP solution. Gmail already does this with date recognition and google calendar integration, as well as the new email 'categories.' It'll be cool to see it expand so any application can take advantage of it (i.e. key management software and joining a new website).
