I was struck by the home / house contrast in the original headline but left as is because, in American English, home is a nice way of saying where someone lives regardless of the type of structure, apartment or house or even a houseboa

Possible for Apple to readily roll up the data for Watch and iOS users, but what’s the product angle? Take a break to meditate / breathe / do yoga is just another recommendation to use another app?

The automatic feedback loop between heart and lungs is really cool. The more you slow your breathing the more you slow your heart. You are choosing to breathe slower via your vagus nerve. The heart responds accordingly. By contrast the adre
