I think the key difference is in how truthful the marketing stories are. Apple/microsoft sell you a hypothetical future, while these watch "brands" sell a made-up past. Neither are 100% facts but one is clearly less savory than the other.

Are you saying there already is, or that there should be, a non-predatory market for short term business loans? Like OnDeck?

The Patek Phillipe that the article opens with yes, but they go on later to talk about the /computus/ which is a purely mechanical Easter calculation accurate w/o modification to year 10,000 AD.

How are you making over 300k in the Midwest? Surely it's not a purely software engineering role, from my (admittedly limited) experience those roles top out at 180-200k base in Chicago.

I've noticed that the layout of the site is uncannily similar to flask's documentation (http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/), down to the "Fork me on Github" in the top right corner. Is there some sort of software producing this kind of documentation?

This paper http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/05315565939... seems to contradict that claim of a simple ratio between life variables.

Abstract:

A regression analysis was made of age at first reproduction in female mammals, as a function of body weight, using the data of Wootton. Data on maximal life span, also expressed as a function of body weight, were used to calculate “adult” life span, wherever possible, by subtracting the cognate value for age at first reproduction. Then a regression analysis of adult life span as a function of age at first reproduction was made. In both cases global regression lines (i.e., for whole data sets) were computed by standard least squares and by a robust method, as well as local regression lines for subgroups classified by taxonomic and ecological criteria. The slopes of the various regression lines were found to vary widely as a function of the method of classification. This result argues against the notion that the ratio of life history variables is a constant, or that one life history variable is likely to be a simple function of another. The results for bats are anomalous, in that age at first reproduction appears to be independent of body weight (over about two orders of magnitude). It is concluded that a full understanding of life history variables, such as maximal life span and age at maturity, is likely to depend on combined physiological, ecological, and evolutionary insights. Keywords: maximal life span; age at maturity; regression analysis; mammals

I think the majority of people in the 10-20 year old age group get their iOS devices "for free" from their parents, and don't want to negotiate with said parents every time they want to buy an app.
