I've heard of "build, ship, learn and repeat" - so something along those lines.

It also depends on where you look for them. In Europe there is only one mushroom you can pick by mistake. The way to check if it is dangerous (and not really that much dangerous) is to lick it. If it has strong sour taste it is bad (licking it won't get you sick, you need to eat it whole). Most of the times people make mistakes when picking bladed mushrooms that are not even that closely looking as the eatable one.

Good job, cool that you are sharing!

It is much easier to fine tune few variables than fine tune human writing. Thus human writing will be easy to determine which side it is siding to.

I am more afraid of options that this tool would have. Like fine tune it to be 5% friendlier on candidate 1 than 2. Report news on XXX 10% less than on news YYY. Make people happy. Make people sad. Make people compelling. All this by adjusting few options and changing the wording of articles.

This is actually making an opening for "human only" papers, that will be easier to distinguish from noise. Non-profit independent, governing body is a must though to issue certification.

Depends. They might want to to get you to come back and write a review/buy additional stuff.

On the other hand, this could be an affiliate that tries to generate any click so he gets a commission on your further purchases.

The Mi Band is close to what I listed for $19. The money should be made on add-ons and upgrades, not the product itself.

The problem with fitness trackers and smartwatches is that each and every brand keeps adding unnecessary features to the stack. They won't listen to users and keep building devices that have no market. Most of those companies created a product that was good and needed a good amount of work to make it better. But it seems that developers and management felt that simple = bad, and worked their asses off to add useless features.

Probably the closest to what people wanted was Mi Band - a bit too simplistic, but close enough. And this opinion is shared by many of people I know.

In order to create a successful fitness tracker, create a device with:

-distance tracker

-steps tracker

-waterproof (good enough to swim in swimming pool)

-mobile phone notifications, alarms

-no screen needed or extremely simplistic screen is OK

-battery live of at least 7days

-heart rate monitor (do not need to be constant)

-good software, small size

-make it look simple - let users decide on adding bits to it

-sleep tracker that works and learns

-use phone and app for making most of the calculation to save battery

-the price of $49

This tool would kill the market. As of now, Mi Band is closest, but their software/app is bad and there are some issues with hardware and customisation.

While we are focusing on Facebook, Google etc. for breaking our privacy to extract data and pass it to third parties, we are willing to use Grammarly, CloudFlare and CrashPlan, pay for it and use it while hoping they will not work with security services. We need much more transparency it seems.
