The heart rate of your examples are somewhat different compared to an active threat for most people I assume from being in a situation when a crime is taking place. Although, I would be curious to view trials of each situation showing the h

I'm sure with encryption there shouldn't be much worry. I think currently apple watches allow users to unlock their computers when returning.

Maybe a smartwatch reading the heart rate of the owner and noticing stimulation could trigger the same functionality as well.

I’m under the impression that the market will grow with time. The product happens to be great enough for my standards. The obvious downside is the requirement from a person needing to explore the dosage intake themselves and contrary to how

This kind of topic comes up in transgender communities and what you're proposing is offensive. People get really offended when the name assigned at birth (matching one's birth sex which doesn't align with one's identity)

I don't think I can agree. Sure, something like the plague or an asteroid impact has considerable unknowns and thus considered unfixable/dangerous/worrisome. My scepticism is from observing society, seeing tremendous problems

That's a lot of optimism from labeling a problem as known vs unknown. I'm hesitant thinking there is logic from assuming a problem known will be fixed. Also it's not too far fetched to think climate change can snowball while

I enjoyed Western Chinese food growing up as a kid. Sadly it seems for me that a specific dish can really taste different depending on which restaurant you pick for the day. It can actually be disappointing when ordering a certain dish and

I view humans in a universe like a computer program that brute-forces to find a better solution. You can have some people do everything right and nothing ever works out for them. While you can have the opposite happen. The anomalies/su
