Another alternative that I wear is woolandprince.com

They weave nylon filaments along with wool for durability


I travel with a portable monitor (Dell 14" usb-c) -- it's lightweight but so helpful for what I do


Congratulations on launching.

However as a potential customer interested in this space - I'm not sure the pricing/value prop is competitive for me. I used a service called InsideTracker (lab based blood test) earlier this year which measures 43 biomarkers (including hsCRP - my result was 0.4). I think I paid ~$500 for it but that gives a much more holistic view.

Is there a case for tracking hsCRP more frequently if my lifestyle is relatively healthy? Are there a few other biomarkers you could include for tracking more regularly with a finger prick? I could see at-home tests being more convenient.


It unfortunately seems like our best chance is to wait until Apple cracks down on this, as self interested companies won't.


I feel that as you build prototypes and make traction on your product, the "manager" types will find you :)


It feels weird that supporting crypto almost feels like a contrarian view judging from the comments here.

It sounds like the author is describing crypto as a ponzi (rather than a bubble) and I'd agree too if crypto never ends up on delivering real value. But it already has in terms in efficiencies (e.g. money transfer and cutting out middlemen is a 10x improvement) and I definitely think we're starting to see more.

I think that crypto hasn't quite integrated with society yet (yet is the key word). Once it does, crypto will be operating less within its own sandbox and will have more impact on society. It needs to marry into our legal system and deal more with oracles bridging the real world into the crypto world.

When you say Bitcoin is 13 years old you're only looking at it from a technology standpoint. It's made a few strides in this time period, but I think we could also consider Bitcoin as a monetary good. From that lens, as something to think about, how long did it take for gold to be accepted as currency?

The rest of crypto is much less than 13 years old and I think we'll start seeing more of their impact in the next 5 years.


I'm surprised to see this so heavily upvoted here on HN.

I'd argue you just haven't explored enough around its possibilities. I just read this today. https://twitter.com/mcuban/status/1400459822080819204

I think we're just beginning to get to the good stuff.


Have you thought about de-emphasizing the less relevant experiences? Find the companies you're interested in, tailor your resumé to be mostly what is applicable, and then hint at your expanded experience. As an example, a one-liner on "optics, microwave engineering, and semiconductor fabrication" says a lot already.


It's definitely enlightening to see the autocomplete differences with another search engine such as duckduckgo.com


DDG appears to not autocomplete dirty words, but try starting with [jews are] or [muslims are] or [gays are] and you'll see the kind of stuff that eventually led to Google's autocomplete being heavily scrubbed.


I'd like to see a tool that sits in your browser, probes the two search engines maybe via the search apis, and then tries to infer what GOOG thinks about your demographic or interests.


Actually, it's just UberEats "Instant" and not the whole service.
