Due to coronavirus, you could be voting by mail much sooner than expected

Posted onAuthoradmin

The two most consequential occurrences in American society in almost two decades—coronavirus and the 2020 election’s referendum on Trumpism—may well be headed for a collision course in November, with the potential to seriously imperil the voting process. Some states have announced that they will postpone their primary elections, and election officials are already fretting about November. By and large, we do elections only one way in the U.S.: while some people mail in ballots, the vast majority cast their votes at a polling place. That simply might not be possible in 2020 Read More …

The Hims of sleep? DTC brand reimagines snooze supplements

Posted onAuthoradmin

It’s no secret that Americans don’t sleep enough, with n early a third of adults getting less than six hours of shut-eye per night. The CDC declared sleep a public health epidemic, spurring Silicon Valley to create a host of gadgets, robots , and even luxe homes to lull the restless back to bed. But many still rely on sleep aids such as Ambien or Xanax, which often have problematic side effects and result in dependence issues. The more health-conscious opt for more natural remedies like melatonin supplements, although it doesn’t work for everyone. To that end, newly launched Remrise hopes to embody a fully holistic sleep company that combines personalized supplements with tech. The company sells $55-per month subscriptions, which include plant-based sleep aids accompanied by a suite of digital tools: an online educational platform and a meditation app that connects to Fitbit, Oura, and other tracking devices. The startup secured over $8 million in funding led by Founders Fund and cofounding investor Atomic, the incubator behind millennial-friendly supplement unicorn Hims Read More …

Andy Rubin should stop designing smartphones

Posted onAuthoradmin

On Twitter yesterday, Android cofounder Andy Rubin began hyping a new smartphone his company Essential is working on. It’s a long, thin device with a long, thin user interface. For many of us, it was the first time we’d thought about Rubin since The Information reported in 2017 that he’d had an “inappropriate” relationship with a Google employee, before he controversially left the company with a very generous severance package. It may be too soon. It is difficult to disentangle the radically elongated smartphone from its creator’s reputation. If that’s not reason enough to skip supporting or buying a smartphone from Essential, the device itself seems like a throwback, a design that might have seemed like a promising departure in the smartphone’s earlier days. But now it just looks like a novelty—an idea in search of a use case. From the photos, the new phone appears to be very thin, not much wider than a smartwatch. It looks so long that the end of it would very likely stick up out of a pocket Read More …

Sober curious? There’s an app—in fact, a whole community—for that

When serial entrepreneur MJ Gottlieb, 48, was trying to get sober years ago, he completely avoided drinking establishments. That proved no easy feat when there were at least 14 bars in a two-block radius around his home in New York City and so many friends and colleagues relied on the usual social outings. “There was like nothing else people would come [up with] than ‘let’s grab a drink’ or ‘let’s tailgate,’” says Gottlieb. “Everything seemed to be centered around alcohol.” [Image: Loosid] At the time, Gottlieb ran a strategic consulting firm which specialized in small brands. To unwind, he inevitably wound up in one of two places: coffee shops and diners. Those became his entire social scene. But it got old, quick. Read More …
