"Grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals. Grit is having stamina. Grit is sticking with your future, day in, day out, not just for the week, not just for the month, but for years. Working really hard to make that future a reality. Grit is living life like it's a marathon, not a sprint."

A win for marketing, a lose for personal privacy?

In Japan, Sony is using AI cameras that fit in the palm of your hand to analyze how customers interact with ads in 7-Eleven stores; The devices use "on-sensor AI processing to automatically detect when customers see digital signage, count how many people paused to view it, and measure the percentage of viewers,” then can compare that information to see how it impacts sales.

They state that because it is AI powered, and only extracts the most necessary meta data, it protects the shoppers privacy and personal information.

Stanley Tumblers are manufactured with the toxic chemical lead. Its said to be safe, but I'm not sure. What do you think?

Here’s the company’s statement:

At Stanley, one of the key features of our products is our vacuum insulation technology, which provides consumers with drinkware that keeps beverages at the ideal temperature. Our manufacturing process currently employs the use of an industry-standard pellet to seal the vacuum insulation at the base of our products; the sealing material includes some lead. Once sealed, this area is covered with a durable stainless steel layer, making it inaccessible to consumers. Rest assured that no lead is present on the surface of any Stanley product that comes into contact with the consumer nor the contents of the product.
