The voice recognition is good, but the interface is completely independent of Alexa. The interface is spawned from a group of people brainstorming all the different ways someone can ask to turn on the lights, and then figuring out the ways

I would disagree about the value they are offering to advertisers. Offering a platform where targeted users actually engage with the ad is huge. I'm no advertiser, but that sounds kind of like the holy grail - the user is not only en

My guess is that up until now, the cause for these events has been hard to quantify and identify. Like your example of people in West Virginia and Kentucky who have lost their jobs and got drenched in opiates. Who do we rally against for

Create a goal, break it down into sub-goals, then ritualize behaviours that will meet the sub-goals, making sure to never introduce too many new rituals at once. Works pretty well for long term lifestyle goals. On the downside, there isn&

Workers are entitled to their safety, which is why OSHA and similar things exist. Blue collar situations are very similar to this, and I'm sure no one would defend a woodshop that had bandaids instead of hand guards and eye protection

Problems: 1. It was my cofounder and I's first startup and we lacked marketing skills 2. Most causal players perceive that for a given game, there are many people out there way better than them, so they didn't want to risk any mon

In my experience (I could be wrong) most provably fair bitcoin gambling games don't require user interaction. It's just a seed that has a deterministic output. This type of provably fair is a different beast, as far as I can see

From what I can tell the Ethereum component is confined to the entry fee and payout currency. This helps solve one of the biggest issues with skill based cash gaming, since there is much less friction when it comes to spending a cryptocurr

I cofounded a startup based around a similar idea. We were (attempting) to make an API that mobile game developers could plug into their games to add skill based cash tournaments. Mine was called Foosler. There were a couple others - Cash

Oh yeah, absolutely hard to gauge and what you say might be the intended outcome (50% of marketing budget is wasted, but which half yadda yadda...). But the other part of me refuses to believe that such an action was taken with no planned f

To answer the question of "why does it need to be disclosed" I'd say the line is primary purpose. For the Kim instagram thing in the link - primary purpose is to promote the product. Therefore ad and disclosure required. Red
