None of your points have anything to do with my response. Moving the goalposts shows that you aren't capable of thinking clearly about the issue and your ad hominems speak even less about your character.

The energy was going to waste, a heritage site was preserved, no co2 was released, they were unable to sell the power to the grid.

Keep raging at windmills that generate 0.1% of global emissions if it makes you feel like a hero. It won't solve anything.

It's a great device.

If there is a primary flaw, it's that it can't be resized. If you are sufficiently motivated to become more active, the ring becomes too loose over time.

Not the worst problem, but it ends up in caught in the drain more than I'd like.

It's not useless for activity tracking. It _may_ be useless for spin workouts though.

I've worn it with a gear fit and phone based trackers at the same time and the deltas are negligible in my experience.

Exchanging privacy for direct physical safety is a little easier to swallow I'd imagine.

Assuming of course that new Starbucks don't start showing up on routes preferred by Tesla drivers.

I've done a significant amount of hiring in my career and I've had a more than a few conversations about the "importance of my work" vs "level of my compensation". In the nicest possible way I've had to explain that 'importance' has nothing to do with it.

Hiring is supply and demand. There are more competent accountants vying for the same jobs than there are developers. More developers than there are SRE's.

The rarer the skill set, the more expensive it is to hire.
