Tool has been doing this same thing for years. The show I attended this past summer couldn't have been more immersive.

Echoing this - for long term storage, they should be kept on a hardware wallet.

This holds true for nearly all physical activities. Was mountain biking in Whistler a couple weekends ago, and my riding mate broke his collarbone due to riding a trail that was at the edge of his range.

It's frustrating that this problem is more of a political labyrinth than a technology endeavor.

What was the actual process of acquiring your entire medical record? My understanding was that this information can be highly fragmented depending on the number of different places one has received medical treatment.

Raced motocross growing up. Those are some of the happiest memories I have from 6 - 17.
College and then city life meant retiring from that hobby but my new guilty pleasure is downhill mountain biking (Whistler is one of the coolest places on the planet) and BMX dirt jumps.
I remember getting a piece of advice to do what made you happy as a kid. It worked ;-)

Also incredible amounts of fun. However, I've always felt safer flying through the air on a dirt bike than riding a sport bike surrounded by hoards of distracted drivers paying more attention to their cells phones than their external environment.

Braaaaappppp. The funnest days of my life have been on 2 stroke dirt bikes. Living in a major city, it's something that I miss on a daily basis.

Since they're one of Twilio's largest customers, I wonder if they're accomplishing Video calling with the new Twilio Video product [1] that's currently in beta

This is great - I switched from iOS to Android last week, and my biggest annoyance was the lack of iMessage

Echoing Ryan's point. I'm on the last section of Eliot's previous course (http://bitfountain.io/course/the-complete-ios-7-course-learn...) and will be enrolling in this once I finish. Start to finish, the material has been extremely helpful!
