How many products have you built and later shut down as a failure? How long have you been building microstartups? How many tries did it take to get the 3 successes in your post?

That's comparable to existing products. I was hoping to read that Apple made the device sealed and rechargeable via a mat or the like. This device will be used like find my phone -…

Real science is based on the results of experiments, the parameters and results of which are publicized and available to be reproduced. Questions and debate are good. They don't in…
