Thanks for the write-up! Im curious, how did you promote ph launch? Did you have a mailing list to let everyone know? Where did the support come from or was it just through luck?

What are you using for indoors?

Can the sensor be used indoors or does it have to be their "indoor sensor"? The products look interesting but the site does not inspire confidence.

I was looking up air quality monitors but can't seem to find any on amazon with a calibration certificate that will accurately measure 0.3 micro particles. Am I the only one who thinks this is a great opportunity for a smart product with an app that has the features of a professional air quality monitor and simple UI / UX? If such product exists, does anyone know where I can find it?

I am not an expert on anything but I can give the answer a stab. Let us make many assumptions:

Say plankton dies off, say animals eating plankton die, say humans eating those animals now have less food. Say all the fish die and we are reduced to land-based food. Now we have more space competing for farm land, we have to clear forest. Clearing adds to CO2 emissions, construction, more emissions, less CO2 being taken out. It's clear how this is all one giant feedback loop. Less biodiversity, more overabundance of something else, which leads to less consumption of something else which leads to collapse of ecosystems which leads to use trying to patch things up and doing even more harm.

Just zoom out and think about things that consume things and how that loops back directly to humans, environment, overproduction, overuse and eventually unsustainable usage of resources until there are none left.

I asked my Japanese wife for her opinion on this matter and she thinks the reason Japanese in general are more content is because of the lack of drive created by class inequality. Generally speaking, Japanese people are fairly well taken care of by the social systems and there is not a lot of flaunted wealth unlike in the west. Most Japanese probably see no need to strive and work too hard because their life is okay by most standards. Food is great, healthcare won't make one go bankrupt, good service and there's that whole culture of fitting in "the nail that sticks out must be hammered in". With the lack of visual class divide, younger people just don't see the point of working their asses off. They do it at first because that's what they are taught but once introduced to the very rigid and stressful work environment, there is little hope of advancement. I think the depression and suicide is a result of being content - manifesting in frustration and ultimately being unable to deal with the mundane of every day life (combined with other factors like frustration with work and or lack of partners).

I tend to agree. I have lived here for a short time but you get a sense of this just by being around people.

Am I the only paranoid one who thinks this is just Google's way of capturing millions of faces in their database? Or did Apple beat them to it?

Are you saying there are people who meditate and can free their mind of any thought? I tried this "exercise" and could not "not think" for the life of me.

I fall into this category of people. How should I feel about myself?

0.5% conversion on email? Wow.. you are doing something wrong. My clients have like a 15-21% conversion via email but it probably depends on what you're selling. So, what are you selling?

What's your website?

yeah, but do they write articles on happiness all the time?

Sure, let's just hide the fees and not tell users they are getting taken. How about some transparency?

Is it about time for health data to migrate to blockchain?

By controlling your thoughts, you control the universe. Mind blown.

They should run an ICO, get funded in minutes.
