sucks for you. It's a free service -- so it's your loss.

Amphetamines or methamphetamines? Very different...

Agreed. This is the same story as when Intel shut down the Basis watch.

Net revenue often refers to net profit, meaning revenue minus expenses.

From another wearable founder [1] to you, congrats on making a great product! I'm wearing the new steel Oura right now. Although the firmware update this week broke it for me on android :(

Still my favorite heart-rate enabled wearable out there!

Nassim Taleb would agree -- in Black Swan he writes: "American culture encourages the process of failure, unlike the cultures of Europe and Asia where failure is met with stigma and embarrassment. America’s specialty is to take these small risks for the rest of the world, which explains this country’s disproportionate share in innovations."

Zoom is the best software in the world for this.

Is Urdu a romance language? Or related closely to English ?

Rappi is such an amazing product. Better and more reliable than seamless and GrubHub, in my experience. I used it in Medellin, Colombia.

I agree with everything you say, except the second to last paragraph. My endurance increased immensely by switching to keto, due to no longer using glucose as an energy source (instead, ketones).

Err...he won a nobel prize in economics

I'm extremely extremely biased, but I run a company called Pavlok [1], with a goal to be more ubiquitous than the phone by 2030 (not quite 5 years).

We build technology to help people change habits, with instantaneous positive and negative feedback, and a digital currency called Volts[2] that rewards and pays people to do good habits.

Our goal is to sell the product in the initial phases (next 5-7 years), and eventually give them away to everyone in the world. One of our core products (unreleased) attaches directly to iphones and android -- I can't give too many details, but it becomes part of your phone.

Again, I'm extremely biased. But they say the best way to predict the future is to create it, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I would disagree that Apple is viewed as innovative. Granted, this is anecdotal based around people I know, but Apple is widely considered as non-innovative and resting on its iPhone laurels -- at least since Jobs passed away.

You may wish to look into behavioral economics [1], a system of psychology + decision making that looks deeply at how individuals often do go against their economic (and other) self-interests.

I'm confused. Do you think 4 or 5 books a year is a lot, or a little?

Relevant and probably off topic, but this conversation about the scutoid was posted on reddit and made me crack up, laughing out loud.

what? That's just a freemium model.

This book was fantastic, and elegantly laid out in how it described behaviors that human beings take.

Pretty common to wear a watch on a left hand and a fitness tracker or separate smart device on the right, though

I'd want to read it!

Antifragile by Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Certainly Taleb is referring to all economists, give or take a handful, not just some.

what is the value of currency besides the value we attribute to it?

On the plus side, OPs comment made me not read the article, so time was saved, thus value was added.

Strangely, their new ad platform appears to be pretty gameable in some respects...

That said, they just denied an app I released (here on Google Play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pavlok.mee... , it syncs my content from different media sources around the web) was denied. They said it was too close to a web experience.

We've released several iOS and Android apps, and inside of our apps are mini-apps (different habits and behaviors our users want to change). The app we were attempting to make used React, which was giving us a headache.

The denial was annoying, but fortunately, iOS just enabled PWAs. It seems to my developers that the site is essentially Web technologies (HTML/CSS/JS) + a Manifest. By doing that, you can enable push notifications and offline access. Is that essentially it? Because that might solve the problem of making apps rapidly on multiple platforms for us.
