Hard to resist the extrapolation from Visual Voicemail to see Apple one day in the near future shipping software for carriers to deploy on their networks to support features E2E integrated with their modems.

Their role is not to run businesses. Their role is to allocate capital while weathering the macroeconomic environment to create returns. Sometimes the best way to do that is to invest in a business, other times it’s to buy other assets, and

Actually, the French spelling and pronunciation is cliché [kliché] (accent aigu, abrupt stop), but the English pronunciation is better achieved with è [klishay] (accent grave, extended). Note that there are no words in French that end with

If they're in Apple's ecosystem, I'd say iCloud Keychain is probably the best solution here. Most of time, they won't even notice they're using it. If not, I'd recommend 1Password for the ease of use, the good

Interesting question for jurists; can you commit a crime if you technically and legally don’t exist?

IFTTT is really the beginning. We’ll be rolling out webhooks, so hopefully, you can build something you can trust off of it. Edit: Typo.

Not really; it would be the same as saying that leasing a car is cheaper if nearer to death than not. We're not a life insurance that you have to contribute to in exchange for a payout. We're a service that watches over you for on

SSN theft is a real thing, but as far as automation goes, it's probably the safest in our opinion, and we'll obviously keep it optional. We think the most reliable way is your loved ones signaling it, so they can access your plan

The trigger is a one-time event, and you can use it to start some other process than does things periodically. Billing stops if you pass away.

We started with IFTTT to tap into their ecosystem, but webhooks with your own code is probably what you’re looking for.

You don’t have to worry about that, we’re we’ll positioned to know if that happens, and the account is automatically memorialized with read only access to those you shared things with.

by mohamedattahri 4y ago
Absolutely, and by design. The only automated trigger we’re seriously considering is the social security master death records; if your SSN is there, means you passed away.

It’s not different from a smart contract. Testing, low is the only remedy, and that can be simplified with a great toolkit, which we’ll be offering.

Hilarious and grim are two words I never imagined side by side, so just for this, I think it was worth it :) Jokes aside, it speaks to the need that many of our users have with regards to having agency in case of death, as opposed to produc

Very legitimate on the contrary. Luckily enough, none. You can see how incentivized we are to really go above and beyond if something happens to one of our users; the loved ones we help are our best advocates.

I tried to answer a similar question above. Death may happen at anytime, and we provide coverage one year at a time. If we go out of business before, you have the time to make other arrangements. PS: Will definitely add to the FAQ.

I’m sorry for your loss. Your raise a very good point. Two things. (1) Incapacitation is something on our radar, and we really care about getting it right; (2) We put a lot of effort into making sharing and keeping people up to date as simp

Yeah, dead-man switches are risky when there’s a lot at stake and you forget your password. An alternative we’re considering is the death files published by the SSA if you provide us with your SSN.

Thanks!

This is a good question. The way to think about us is more like a home insurance. When you purchase a policy, your home is covered if something happens to it for one year. When it expires, you can renew it again. If the insurance goes out

For the time being yes. It’s the only place where we know how to reliably verify someone’s death. What other country are you interested in?

Check out https://posterity.life/planning/crypto-vault/ It's E2E encrypted, and can only be opened by whoever you made a recovery key for after your death.
