Dear Concerned Indian Doctors, I see your rage against Temple on X. I have a few points to make: 1. First and foremost, a business lesson: if Temple were a scam, and any of what we said weren't true, people would know it in just a few days of using Temple. We have 14-day, no-questions-asked returns (which even Apple doesn't offer in India). If the product doesn't work, it fails out of the gate and the company dies before recovering a tenth of its R&D. 2. We have already spent $30m building Temple, $20m out of which is my own money. Selling a few thousand devices recovers a small fraction of this investment. A scam that pays nothing is not a scam anyone would run. 3. I left the Eternal CEO role to chase purpose with Temple. This is not about money. I have enough of it to last for generations. My incentives are fully aligned with getting the science right. I am not staking a reputation earned over 20 years on making a quick buck. 4. Our employees bought into our round a few months ago. The round we're raising now is mostly our customers. Scams don't build that cap table. 5. Most wearable companies start with internal studies. Whoop shipped its band in 2015, and the first published validation followed a few years later. We hold ourselves to a higher standard; pre-prints are a step prior to peer reviewed publications, and they are coming up. 6. At some point you have to stick your neck out and say: we believe in our science, and the product is now valuable enough for people to pay for and use. We believe we are there. More validation continues in public. 7. We are confident that we are building something that the world is going to be positively astonished with. We stand by our science and our methods. Each of our claims is easily verifiable by individuals and institutions alike, and you will see a lot of independent studies come up on their own when the device becomes available to use. Last but not the least, the most ground breaking features in Temple are not even public yet. And some of them, thankfully, have nothing to do with doctors 🤭 Hope this addresses some or all of your concerns. If not, keep raging 😘🤗

😭😂 So PSG lost 6-1 and instead of accepting that Barcelona produced one of football's greatest comebacks, Emery wants to blame VAR? Barcelona didn't just eliminate PSG that night; they gave an entire generation of rival fans permanent trauma. La Remontada lives rent-free! 💀💙❤️

Gordon: "Ni el Real Madrid ni el PSG son superiores a nosotros. El PSG dio descansó a los titulares en su liga, nosotros no tuvimos ese privilegio". "Tendríamos que haber ganado al Real Madrid. Fuimos mucho mejores que ellos. Tuvimos la posesión y las mejores ocasiones".

At @temple, one of our missions is to become the ultimate wearable for elite performance athletes. And today, let's start with the basics: Heart Rate (HR). You would think accurate HR tracking is a solved problem. It is not. Especially in zones 4 & 5, which matter to professional athletes the most. To see whether Temple is the most accurate wearable on something as basic as HR, we gave ourselves a high bar to aspire to. A Polar H10 chest strap, taped to the chest. Taped, because worn the usual way, straps lose contact mid-sprint and miss beats. We benchmarked five flagship wearables against that reference, from rest to max effort, second by second. All the other leading wearables were well behind Temple in our study. Apple Watch Series 12 came closest. Temple also beat the untaped chest strap, the industry's benchmark, in zones 4 and 5. Why does Temple win? Two reasons. 1. Temple uses adhesive, so its lab condition is its wear condition. You'll experience our study outcomes in real life. 2. The location. Your temple sits right over a major artery, and it's the one patch of skin that doesn't clamp down its blood flow when you go hard. We tested the same sensor at four body sites. The temple was the most accurate of the four. Charts attached. Accurate HR makes Temple better at so much more downstream. More soon. The full paper and data are live right now at temple.com/science, and an extended study by independent researchers is underway. We invite further independent replication in more conditions, and will fund it. Write to us at [email protected]

Matthew Perry breaks down in tears explaining the most painful realization he had about his castmates on Friends. “I was placed in some kind of spiritual guy’s office, and as we were done talking, he turned me around and said, ‘Just remember, it’s not your fault.’ I went, ‘What?’ He said it’s not your fault. I said, ‘What do you mean it’s not my fault, I’m the one who’s doing it.’ And he explained addiction and alcohol to me. And he saved my life. Because I then knew that it wasn’t my fault, that I wasn’t weaker, it wasn’t my will that was screwed up. It was that I have this disease. The thing that always makes me cry… is that it’s not fair. It’s not fair that I had to go through this disease while the other five didn’t. They got everything that I got, but I had to fight this thing.

🚨🔵🔴 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Barcelona will ONLY allow Raphinha to join Brazil for the international break if Carlo Ancelotti agrees to a strict set of conditions! 🤯🇧🇷 📋 Barça have presented THREE demands to the Brazilian coach: 1️⃣ Raphinha must NOT play more than 45 MINUTES in any match. ⏱️ 2️⃣ Raphinha can request to be RESTED at any point during a game, and Ancelotti must comply immediately. 🛑 3️⃣ In the unfortunate event of Raphinha suffering an injury, the Brazilian Football Federation must pay Barcelona €90 MILLION in compensation — equivalent to his market value. 💰 🔵🔴 Barcelona are determined to protect their star winger and will not take ANY unnecessary risks with his fitness! 🛡️
