Any chance you'd be willing to share an album? I've considered doing this for my own home and I'd be psyched to study practical examples. Honestly this would make one helluva blog post (imo).
Update, answer is in the video at 20:30 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArxhS4SQaP0&t=1230
Sounds like the device will natively support sending the audio or transcription to any service you like.
This could be such a delightful upgrade for my hybrid digital/analog personal task management system. Right now I use an apple watch to capture tasks which then hackily route through a series of apps/endpoints to get to a thermal label printer, but that's just about the only thing I use the apple watch for.
Having an affordable single purpose device like this could be much better -- how straightforward will it be to post transcriptions of the recorded messages to a webhook via the Index 01?
Very frustrating. Not sure I even agree with the premise, but worse, this turns out to be just a nice story with no detail.
And if you lived in a busy area, and the cab actually showed, sometimes someone on the street would just take it and the drivers clearly didn't care.
Yep, us too. Weeks and weeks of work that'll need to be migrated.
For anyone who lives by bullet-point lists and goes way too many layers indented, Workflowy is the solution. You can click in and out of any layer of your lists and go as deep as fits your needs. 10/10, one of my favorite tools for brainstorming, organization, amorphous note storage.
Seconded! Something about perusing the blank pages in all their shapes and sizes feels like strolling through a world of raw potential.
This is assuming that you will individually come up with all the most useful insights relevant to making this decision, which is silly.
Just as a very simple example, what if the poster is 22 and this question is about considering their first job? Surely those in the workforce will have all sorts of useful details you could never intuit on your own.
And thus, the voice-assistant-SEO wars began.
Interesting how this time restricted eating seems to differ from perspectives in the intermittent fasting community.
Intermittent Fasting folks tend to espouse avoiding caloric intake for long periods of time every day, but they're fine with black coffee/tea (since it doesn't trigger an insulin response). But here Dr. Panda seems to believe that even coffee would compromise the fasting window: https://youtu.be/iywhaz5z0qs?t=1h15m15s
There goes that 7am cup of coffee...
This is far and away the most helpful response I've gotten, thank you.
Will digest, edit, and probably hit you up with another question or two.
Thanks again
(apologies for repeating from above)
If you have a few minutes to spare, I would very much welcome your thoughts so that I can either correct the article, or take it down - The last thing I want is for it to sit out there on the open internet as misinformation.
My goal was to create a framework which — while less mathematically accurate (hence “rhetorical device”) — helped convey the seriousness of making business decisions based on P = 0.05 to people for whom 95% statistical significance doesn’t mean anything. And clearly, based on reactions here, I failed at that goal.
So, if you’re game, I’ll quickly to walk you through my thinking, and you can help me understand where I went wrong. Best way to contact?

New trend: Deep thinking must be done at parties. But by yourself.
And I built a slightly more extreme version based on the original! The main difference is you can check multiple domains at once, but the most likely versions still appear early in the list instead of checking each domain as a full set in sequence:
And that's the question that's gone unasked, because we're focusing (understandably) on the health implications first:
Could Soylent be scalably produced to feed 10% or more of the world's population? Would the material prices skyrocket in response to demand?
Let's set aside the physiological consequences for a moment, what are the potential economic and environmental ramifications of Soylent?
It's unfortunate that there isn't, and really cannot be, an accreditation for SEO -- the industry move too fast, and the techniques are in flux, it's just the nature of things.
But I look at it the way the way I look at mechanics: There are a lot of great ones out there, and a lot of slimy ones out there. The slimy ones make a bad name for all their peers, despite the many people doing hard, important, quality work.
There are many wonderful SEOs (and Mechanics) out there, but if you're ever in doubt, just ask to speak to some of their clients. You'll know the good SEOs because their clients will be ambiguous in praise, with clear definable results they can discuss.
With regard to Coding, I'm not referring to absolutely ALL Growth Hacker skills -- certainly PPC, Media, and Intermediate analytics can be done with no coding skill, but at least half of the GH skillset requires at least minimal coding skill to execute:
CRO, UX, Advanced Analytics Implementations, Advanced Social Implementations, Doing anything innovated with an API -- these are off the table for a GH unless they can code at least a little, and who want's a Growth Hacker who can only do the bare minimum?
SEOs can absolutely get by with minimal coding knowledge, I give you no argument there, but that's part of what makes the who disciplines different.
Perhaps I mis-insinuated, the implication I'd intended was that most SEOs can't code. There are absolutely many that can, but it seems problematic to imply that SEOs as a rule are growth hackers, when many (if not most) lack a good number of the required skills.
Totally agree on the exhausted subject of what is SEO, so let's not beat a dead horse.
Strongly disagree -- http://www.johnfdoherty.com/seos-growth-hackers/#comment-117...
[for your convenience]: I definitely agree that growth hacking has a lot of overlap with SEO and Inbound Marketing, but I think there are a couple of critical distinctions:
For one thing, Growth Hackers have to be the expert across a huge number of platforms, because of the environment they work in. Growth Hackers are most prevalent in startups, where they wont have the convenience of a larger team of specialists. A 10-man startup (still relatively small) the Growth Hacker has to be able to do the SEO, the Analytics, the CRO, the Social, the PPC, the Retargeting, the Media, and be on the bleeding edge of new customer acquisition technologies as they arrive. New team members may take on some of this work as the startup grows, but for the most part, it’s all Growth Hacker.
The other distinction is implementation. A Growth Hacker needs to be able to code, or it’s a dilution of the term — a Growth Hacker who can’t code at least a little is a Growth Strategist, still a highly valuable team member, but a different animal.
The reason this is so important is that in a startup environment, the team is always going to be maxing out their bandwidth. A Growth Hacker can hatch a new plan, and then start building it, bringing in other team members as they’re available.
A Growth Strategist on the other hand is utterly at the mercy of the other members of their team — if everyone is super busy (and they will be) new growth hacks can take forever to be enacted, and that can spell death for a startup.
I totally agree that the SEO skillset overlaps with growth hacking, but I think it’s a mistake to equate them 1:1 — any SEO worth his salt stands partway down the yellow brick road that leads to Growth Hackerdom, but there are many leagues to go before we reach the emerald city.
Well, now I feel old.
But more importantly, congratulations!
Well, that was profoundly inspiring. Time to go read Mindstorms.

Just think of it as each value being plus or minus 50. I'm sure the idea isn't to determine the best film of all time, it's to expose you to excellent movies and series you may never have seen.
This. This would make the whole thing dramatically more actionable, efficient, and lovely.

We all know it's not sentient, but for some reason it still hurts to read. Spike Jonze's IKEA commercial played on the exact same human tendency: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBqhIVyfsRg
