My money is on it being a way to get around political donation limits - if you're buying a product, you aren't donating. Elon can buy a handful of these to give out to his buddies, and it doesn't count as donating a million dollars to Trump's campaign.

There's actually a really good reason for that. The body doesn't have a good way to get rid of excess iron except by bleeding, so it's fairly easy for someone without a period to get iron poisoning from vitamins with iron in them. Women's vitamins assume the person taking them loses a significant quantity of blood every month. Not only should men not take them, women whose birth control eliminates their period completely shouldn't take them either.
The ability to automatically detect commercials (via sound level / machine learning) and skip them would be amazing as well. There's an app for iOS that does this, but nothing for Android.
I bought a second PTS back in the day, and kept my original as a backup. I just recently had to switch back to it because the daily driver couldn't hold a charge anymore.
I tried looking for a replacement smart watch that could do the things I need it to do, and there's still not one on the market at any price point that can do
- Always-on color display
- 7+ days between charging
- Notifications with full messages on the watch
- Ability to respond to messages from the watch via both canned responses and voice dictation
- Smart alarms (activate up to 30m before alarm time, if watch detects you're no longer in deep sleep)
- Customizable watch faces
- Ability to develop custom watch apps
I remember this captcha. I gave up after about the fourth round. The prize just wasn't worth it, and I wasn't on a machine where I could try scripting out a solution.
The flip side of this is charter schools aren't required to take special needs kids, either. Oh, your kid has Down Syndrome or is Autistic and needs additional staff or effort? Sorry, they're not welcome here. They have to go to the public school. The public school doesn't have enough funding to afford Special Ed teachers because it's all been vouchered away to charter schools? Tough titty.
Public schools work because the money pays for things like Special Education and Gifted and Talented programs. Charter schools can't afford either, so they don't provide either. Even ignoring the possible pitfalls of for-profit motives, you're going to end up with a weakened education system because without collective funding, all education must be geared towards the statistical average.
