Wait what are you kidding!? Drinking DURING the day was encouraged? So the famed company culture is to let everyone get drunk as long as they're all hitting targets? Recipe for disaster for anyone who stays a significant amount of time. It seems cool when you're young then after 10 years people start getting serious problems like alcoholic neuropathy. Very sad situation all round.

Exactly. If companies tried to do this then people could just get a virtual address in an expensive city say New York and go and live somewhere cheap, say Guatemala. Also let's say out of 10 big software companies 8 offer same pay wherever you are, 2 location based. Which one are you gonna work for?

If it works for you at forty I wouldn't worry. It's generally for people who get anxiety that they say slow the breath down. It's to do with things like cortisol release and heart rate. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

I assume you're able to do decent amounts of exercise and don't find yourself out of breath when doing regular things like going for a walk or going upstairs?

The key criticisms throughout the comments seem to fall into these quite legitimate categories:

1. Privacy concerns of an always on device in the home.

2. Removing the benefits of remote working such as flexibility.

3. Increased company/management control over employee actions and movement.

4. Overcharging for an existing device plus an app and calling it "new hardware".

Not sure why any of these are not valid criticisms. In fact it seems you are the one taking an extreme position simply because you don't like the criticisms.

Online reputation is very easy to build. These people are scammers they're hardly going to worry about giving themselves good reviews. It's done all over amazon, trip advisor etc yet somehow the darkweb has a full proof online reputation system - don't make me laugh.

Let's say I decide to pay $800 for ddos attack. Provider pockets the $800 and doesn't carry out the attack. What's my recourse? Contact customer service? Nope. Contact the police? Hmm. You see the whole thing is a scam. There are plenty of articles online about it.

I think they've confused 6m users with 6m sign ups. Very different things. 6m active users to 1.5k revenue doesn't compute on a site with ads.

The analytics for their site are 632.67K total visits in June. Interestingly 30% from Poland.

Those aren't the figures of a site with 6m active users.
