I'd love this on an apple watch. Would be especially nice to combine with an NFC tag. e.g. when you brush your teeth, just hold your watch to the brush which has an NFC tag, then start brushing. That activity is now recorded somewhere.

Interesting, did you take these from a calculator? I'd love to see a graph of the marginal tax rate from 1k till say 6k. Because here it seems from 2k, 3k or 4k, an extra 600 is taxed consistently by more than 50%, and sometimes even 7

> 50% so in practice you work 20% less hours and lose 10% of your post tax salary That's not how the math would work out. Suppose you make $100k in 5 days gross and pay 40k tax, keep 60k net. Suppose you drop to 80k gross, and suppo

Definitely get the sense that's true for me. Although at the same time I see a lot of people in mid-level management / senior positions, making quite good money, and working parttime. But I guess you have to get there first. I als

Can you elaborate further? I'd be quite interested. In the Netherlands the tax rate is 36% and then caps out at 52%. There's no scenario in which you will net less than 48% on an increase. But, if you look at it from a more holist

US pay is certainly higher for the top 5% earners than virtually any other country's top 5% earners. But the litmus test of a country's system is whether you'd want to live there, not knowing what person or in what family you

I get no substantially fewer calls or mail on fridays than on other days. I can get my work done in four days, but I also get work requests with same-day deadlines, either a soft expectation that you can miss sometimes but not structurally,

That's true, but in terms of 'fully free' days it does apply. For example, I'd bet most people would be unwilling to smooth over their 40 hour workweek over the course of the full week of 7 days, working 5.7 hours a day.

In NL it's about 35%. Doubt other countries vary that much, probably a lot in the 25-40% range.

Just wanted to note a typo ('ither questions') by Rafael in the landing page demo screenshot. Not that it matters much but I'd suggest changing. Cool functionality, which my enterprise company would use it.

Comparing revenue with added value makes no sense, either. Makes more sense to look at profits. After all, a company buying A for $100 and selling A for $100 will boost revenue, but will not see profit rise. A country in which companies buy

Could you share a little more of your story?

Awesome :D same story here, but up to 42 now! Hope to hit and then keep it at least above 45 for many years to come, but I'll see if I can't reach 50...

I'll grant you it certainly does depend on the circle, but we're on a pretty dorky forum so I don't think our circles are particularly representative :p But to me, while a fitness-focused watch does signal sportiness etc, whi

Agreed, I'd say one is a smartwatch, the other is a fitness tracker. The Garmin can't make calls or send text messages, for example. Most don't even have NFC or wifi, although the Felix 6 pro does, but it's also quite a

I'd like to, but the fact they required the TV was pretty crazy, to me. They've captured a huge portion of the smartphone market, but apple tv is only 1-2% of the market, and in many countries much less than that. They don't

Yeah I can easily get 2 days when I turn off always-on. Sometimes I do because the watch distracts me sometimes when its always on. But the screen is also bigger, that doesn't help.

Absolutely, it makes me think of this game where you have to diffuse a bomb (keep talking and nobody dies) I'm sure many here are familiar with. One diffuses the bomb based on directions from another who is reading a diffusing manual.
