"A new global study of how doctors use wearable technology"

where's the global study?

I think there is a problem in this article. In other articles, the header contracts to 48 pixels.

But you also could do an extra effort to impress a small number of customers and ask for reviews personally. Buy fake reviews is not the only option here.

What I mean is what is not considered slavery now, could be reconsidered as so in the future. I believe so in this case.

Interesting. Although I could afford it, I never allowed myself to hire cleaners because I refused to explore a person to clean my own mess. My mess, my responsibility, I clean it. It's interesting to know that people would willingly work with cleaning even if they have other options.

it would also change the way furniture and house equipment are made to facilitate cleaning.

Do you think they called "slavery" in the past?

I'm talking about different robots for different tasks. We already use a lot of them. In terms of costs, this is the catch, these robots could be delivered on-demand in the houses. This could be the startup. Even if the "perfect" technology were decades away, this is a good mission, with a good transient plan.

yes, maybe I am wrong, but in my opinion, there isn't a SINGLE person in the world that would like to make a living cleaning the mess of others.

>Saying someone on by low wage job is 'modern slavery' is pretty obtuse when real life actual slavery is happening right now in parts of the world.

This is exactly the reason I used "modern slavery".

I always thought that Homejoy were planning to automate as much as possible, if not everything, related to cleaning services using robotics and stuff, and that humans were only a temporary measure while developing technology. Sadly no, they were optimizing for human cleaning. They could have kept them as contractors while support them providing free education and resources to reallocation in the work force. This would be much better to society instead of organizing the modern slavery.

If the dates of the posts are correct, they were moving really really fast.

Why are you asking for my phone number just to try a demo? You are creating unnecessary friction IMO.

also, not a book but very good "The last question" Isaac Asimov [1]

I think the course is not free $199/mo

You don't need to launch your product at all. Start small. Monopolize this small subset of customers and make them love your product. Don't waste your time trying investors and accelerators before market fit.

For me, the most useful book this year was Mindset by Carol Dweck. Simply amazing and mind-blowing.

> People might not be as idealistic as you make them out to be.

Well, not everyone needs to be "idealistic". There are a lot of people willing to risk their lifes just to see a little further behind the horizon. You are not one of them. And this is ok.

> There is no single social contract, but if there is, it very well has to be reviewed before we "fix" mortality.

Just like I said.

>any simulation more convenient and less dangerous than the exploration of the universe in person

We have been risking our lifes to explorer our world for millenniums. Why would it be different for space?

Actually, for Aubrey de Grey, that will be 50 years[1], but I think this is only to get more funds.

I think that we already have all the elements to make this leap. I am not being naive, only optimistic.

Todo list: 1- Invent powerful machines for simulations and calculations(ok) 2- Stop with childish religious beliefs altogether (in progress - 5ys) 3- Review completely the social contract (in progress - 50ys) 4- Fix mortality (urgent - 100ys) 5- Explore the universe (2114)

When a government is trying to preserve our only tool to understand the world, well I think this is relevant. There are people fighting otherwise https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AS6rQtiEh8

What about investments for new start-ups? I'm thinking to stay 2 weeks there trying to get an investment for my new company. Worth a shoot?

This is an easy way, especially if you don't have any arguments, to diminish other people. Doesn't matter the gender. If one was a guy, the other one would say "you're a PHP developer, leave this crap to REAL developers". This is not sexist, it's just plain stupid, as you said.

really cool. Something to help the mood http://www.noisli.com/
