If your room is too noisy, sense will send the data for further analysis ;)

A part of me is really interested in these sleeping analytic devices but on the other hand, I am always sleeping with my phone on airplane mode.

Not to enter the EMF debate, I wonder if being pinged all night long by all sort of waves is going to make my bedroom zen.

We were very worried about SIDS when our daughter was born (11 months ago). We had all sort of monitors and sensors you can think of, only to realise with time that it was actually a source of stress for all of us.

We have the Withings baby monitor with noise and movement tracking.

I agree with you but I am wondering how would that work on a country specific level. Each country in Europe has their own privacy laws when it comes to query these kind of databases. Not to mention the EU adding another layer in the process.

Take for instance the credit scoring system. There is no such thing as Expedia or privately maintained credit scoring system outside the UK. In France, the Bank of France maintains files which are only available to financial institutions holding a licence.

Another example, in the UK, the sex offenders register is only available through the police, in other countries, there have been citizen initiatives to create such database for specific areas.

This kind of service is more realistic in the US as their SSN is the main ID for background check.

I stopped reading after counting how much you would save if you'd cut your daily coffee. In 2034, £1 million will be worth way less than today anyway.

I have a 9 months old daughter. I've been trying productivity techniques for years but I must say she has been the best motivator ever.

Knowing that I have to collect her from nursery, help with the bedtime routine, I need to finish as much work as possible during the day, no time to waste. At the beginning, it was just impossible for me to think finishing working at 6pm but in fact, I just feel better in my mind and my productivity skyrocketed since then.

Not to mention that I also stopped wasting time with bad projects and client.

Have a baby! Best pomodoro ever ;)

I can already do the same with Sketch and their Mirror app but I like the Dropbox feature.
