Deepinder put a <16% body fat requirement in Temple's job application. Indirectly bodyshamed obese folks.
Then he told customers to 'fix their basics' if they want to buy temple while selling an ₹85k device tested on just 20 people.
Rigor for thee, preprints for me.
Also, just to be clear because I am seeing a lot of "give me clinical evidence". Temple is a fitness tracker, and wellness device. We are not a medical device. If at some point, we clinically validate any of our metrics, we will let you know.
@mutant1879@temple Criticising WHOOP, Apple and Google while overlooking their clinical trials, peer reviewed research & FDA cleared features is a bit rich. They have their controversies, but they also hve substantial scientific validation. Meanwhile,Temple's work is based on a handful of preprints
@dineshbatla@GabbbarSingh Did they lose what's considered forts for their parties? No. This is nothing like earlier elections. This is complete embarassment for GOP and Trump.
One of the things the data analysts on our side obsessed over was "composition"—whether the electorate looked close enough to 2024 for Republicans to win. And despite polls that showed a Democrat blowout, the data kept on telling us the same story: in some states turnout was merely OK, in other states it was downright amazing, and in no state was it catastrophic. There was a genuine sense of optimism on our team: our people were showing up.
So, I asked the smartest data guy I know, does that mean we're going to shock the world? "No," he told me. "We might do better than the polls suggest. But the data is telling us that a lot of Trump/Vance 2024 voters are pissed and planning to vote for the other guys. Our voters are turning out, but they may not vote for us."
Well, that looks prophetic now. Our voters did show up. In Florida, for example, the electorate was 9 points more Republican than Democrat, just a couple points worse than 2024. Undoubtedly there were places we could have done better on turnout. But the main problem is not turnout. The main problem is that many people who voted for Trump/Vance in 2024 voted for Democrats in 2026.
There will be a lot of infighting and arguing over what happened and why that is. One of the pollsters I really respect told me that our economic messaging wasn’t sharp enough down the stretch. I’m sure that’s true.
But the real reason we lost is obvious to almost everyone.
Another pollster—one of the smartest people I know in politics, told me yesterday we’d lose the generic ballot by 13 points. I felt negative going into Tuesday, but even I was shocked by this. In his polling, he saw that a lot of Trump 2024 voters were angry and planning to vote for Democrats. He asked those voters who had abandoned us what would cause them to come back on our team. The top four answers, accounting for nearly all of the responses were:
1) End the war
2) Focus on cost of living/inflation
3) Put America First
4) Change our relationship to Israel
Our voters showed up. And the above four reasons are why many of them voted for Democrats. This is according to a pollster who nailed the results. While many spent Monday attacking Rachel Campos Duffy for calling for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, it turns out her political advice was sound. (She’s also a great person.)
In the next few months, there's going to be a lot of gaslighting. Expect to hear any number of establishment politicians say the solution to our woes is amnesty. I'm open to the idea that we should change enforcement—by focusing more on businesses that hire illegal labor, for instance. But anyone pushing amnesty is lying to you.
The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night.
If you'd like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that's at least honest.
But everyone knows why we lost. And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there.
I remain hopeful about our country. To the people who are pissed off and want to say, “I told you so”: you’re right, you did tell us so. Take that energy into electing Republicans who share your worldview. To the people who are just pissed at the results, you should be. Let’s take that anger and get back to the work of saving our country.
@DwellingDeep_@passportsevamea Looks like you didn't pay the bribe, and the police officer assigned to your verification is holding it back, hoping you'll eventually bribe him.
@PreetiChoudhry The problem is that it didn't sound like reporting; it sounded more like you were pushing your own opinions under the guise of reporting. Anyway, I've been following your work for a long time. Keep up the good work!
If her name were Natalie Gates instead, wud she be getting the same hate? Let's be honest about the racism and prejudice here. She's dead, nine people r gone & some of u still choose cruelty over compassion. Shame on u ppl. Let the official preliminary report come out.
The awful comments hurt my heart. Yes she was young (the average age of Battle of Britain pilots was 20), but she kept her composure and communicated while banked 60 degrees, nose down, falling 20,000 ft in a 100 seconds. Only at the end did she lose it. Who wouldn't? Be kind ���
9 are dead, and some of you are busy playing keyboard detectives. You weren't in that cockpit. You don't know what happened. Stop pretending ur speculation is a verdict. Have some decency. Their families r grieving while u ppl farm likes off a tragedy.

@DeviYogha LG newer OLED models like the C5, C6, G5 and G6 come with automatic pixel cleaning capabilities. Burn in is largely a thing of the past. It's important to keep the TV plugged in after you're done watching, as it performs pixel cleaning automatically while in standby.
@deepigoyal@temple What makes your product special when I can buy a Polar H10 HRM for a tenth of its price? Apple and Google offer FDA cleared ECG, irregular rhythm notifications and more. Wt independent authority has validated your product's authenticity and accuracy? What justifies the premium?
@geekyranjit My mom uses a Pixel Watch 4, and I use a Pixel Watch 3. Health Guardian seems reliable for tracking trends and deciding when to get blood tests. It showed low levels for me and elevated levels for my mom. Her blood test also confirmed high blood sugar of 146.
I had my reservations about Maresca, and he's not doing much to change my mind. Too many silly tactical errors and too much reacting instead of having a proper game plan. He needs to do better. It's obviously very early in his tenure but he can't lose at home to these teams.
