If you just want a sleep tracker I would recommend looking at Oura ring

The bubble is bursting from Softbank* Tech as a sector is still doing very well, even though there are some high publicity mega failures like WeWork

I would recommend you take a look at Sococo then (disclaimer -- I don't work for them but know people that do): https://www.sococo.com/ Much more upfront about their pricing struct…

Probably a lack of good marketing.

White collar crimes (like this should be) are all about making value calculations. Take the famous Ford Pinto memo. They decided the risk to their customers' lives was smaller (in …

That's true. I'm sure that the perverse incentive could be resolved with some system for self-reporting and fixing.

It's the implication you and the headline are making. I have yet to see any evidence that Uber and Lyft are against public transport. They are competing with it, which is their rig…

But Uber/Lyft are not lobbying against public transit. In fact, in Denver, you can buy RTD tickets through the Uber app. There are plenty of reasons from a labor perspective to dis…

Don't know why you're comment is grayed, we absolutely need heavy monetary penalties for the worst kinds of data breaches. The abstract idea of a class action lawsuit isn't enough,…

It seems like an ok reading of the history on first glance but it is the Marxist perspective. I suppose necessary to understand the heterodox viewpoint. > So central to capitalist …

Spoken like someone who truly doesn't know the history of the economic field.

It works

> I don't see this OS succeeding beyond China though. I wouldn't be so sure. Obviously it would be an uphill battle for the OS to compete in the US or Europe, but anywhere that doe…

Scalability is a big problem, but it's not the only problem. Money accomplishes 3 things: 1) Store of value 2) Unit of account 3) Medium of exchange It's not really very good at an…

In the US at least, press freedom is greater than simply freedom of speech (according to case law), and this is by design. Information of significant public interest shouldn't be c…

That's not entirely true. The US is good at capital intensive or high skilled manufacturing like most other countries aren't. That's why it's viable for a lot of car companies to o…

Having a multinational agreement between several economies that the Chinese economy is hugely dependent on would have been a great trade chip for getting China on board with Wester…

Maybe I don't get your point but a tariff is a tax, and US consumers pay for a lot of that tax. So this is effectively a super inefficient redistribution of wealth to farmers from …

Presumably Google still has a massive Bay Area presence because it's more profitable for them to stay there than move, at least that's what is implied. Maybe they should be pushing…

It looks like the main problems were problems with HVAC (which wouldn't be a problem in California and probably could be more easily solved with modern building materials) and the …

Would you rather people, jobs, and an economic powerhouse of an industry move away or just build more housing? It's not like the software industry is a monolith, it's a collection …

In this case it seems more like someone in charge, man or woman, thought they were making things better by letting all people access any restroom. Maybe they didn't think it throug…

It's interesting because the argument these NIMBYs use against studying rent control is the exact same as the one gun rights activists and the NRA used against allowing the CDC to …

People should be able to move easily because it's good for all of us. The less friction there is in the labor market, the better off the economy is. It's also very good for the sel…

This is a prime example of the Lump of Labor fallacy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lump_of_labour_fallacy Our best studies have shown immigration increases overall welfare. The Ma…
