Our customers justify the high price when you consider multiple family members would use the machine. Plus, convenience has been a major factor. Not having to book a class time, find parking, etc. they rather pay more than deal with that.

fwiw i'm actually not a former rower and I just purchased a C2 after some very light research. It's the industry standard, it's relatively cheap, and ALL of the apps are specifically designed or have have seamless integration with the C2.

It is a great machine - I have one too :)

sweet. If you develop an app that integrates with the C2, I will be your first paying user to try it.

You won't be our first paying user (there are thousands of them) but we'd love you to download asensei which connect seamlessly with your Concept2 and lets you follow programs and workouts from 4x Olympians to Studio Rowing instructors.

You can try a free trial with Eric Murray (one half of the famous KiwiPair) before committing to a purchase.

If anyone wants to purchase an annual membership, the code HN20 is good for 20% off until the end of the weekend.

And when you're ready to get coaching on your form/technique, or mix in strength, TRX and mobility training alongside your rowing, our new smart (app)arel coaching will give you real-time feedback on your technique and form as you're guided through structured training programs.

Our personal coaching program opened last week here: https://asensei.com/products/personal-coaching-apparel

And you can see what the coaching experience will be in the video at the foot of this page here: https://coaching.asensei.com/

Good luck to the team at Aviron with the launch. When you're ready to bring form and technique coaching to the product to ensure people are rowing safely and correctly, feel free to reach out to me to understand how you can incorporate asensei Connected Coaching in your product for your customers!

Best,

Steven CEO, asensei

Did you buy your RV new with all of those features or did you customize yourself? What model did you end up going with?

I added the inverter, solar and cellular antenna and router.

definitely. I just helped my parents get a Honda 2200 working at their home in Northern California in anticipation of the PG&E blackouts. We tested it out and it can power certain things together, but not an entire house. The 2200 Watt generator was able to power a fridge/freezer + some electronics, which is enough to get by for a couple days.

I'm curious to hear about people that:

1. worked extremely "hard" for 20 years 2. sacrificed relationships/family/living life 3. found moderate/average success, but never caught a break

Yeah, I really would too. It always irks me when some highly successful businessman gives a talk about "do what you love and you will find success". As if billions of people before him that weren't particularly successful hadn't already tried that.

Agree with this point, it really makes things so much easier. Imagine having student debt, struggling to get a job out of college, and then

>Once you’ve gotten yourself to a point where you have your basic obligations covered you should try to make it easy to take risks

that could easily take 10+ years?

It definitely takes years. I went back to school 6 years ago and graduated 3.5 years ago, I optimized for financial security (went to community college followed by the cheapest 4-year available, worked 40+ hours a week throughout, went into a high-paying field), and I've only recently gotten to the point where I'd consider myself financially secure enough to easily take risks. 4-5 years is probably a reasonable lower bound in those cases - you could maybe get there a bit faster if you somehow land a job at a FAANG out of school, but good luck with that.

I actually had the same thoughts. I'm surprised he's being so transparent about this. I feel for the employees at this company -- just because a company is profitable, doesn't mean that employees are being paid fairly/market rate.

I wouldn't be surprised if the founder tries to sell the company in the new few years a discount of the current valuation. With 45% ownership, that's a very large chunk of change.

Buffer is most transparent and open startup I know, they've posted their salaries here:

These are the types of comments I'm referring to, why all the hate and assuming proponents of blockchain are full of shit? Were people this skeptical in the late 90's when the internet was coming to fruition?

>Proponents can't distinguish different roles of money I'm pretty naive to this stuff, but you just listed a bunch of terms I easily googled in 2 minutes and now have a rudimentary understanding of. Sure there are tons of things to study in the field of finance, but I think the main idea is just a more decentralized setup and native "internet money".

I think/guess he means that many vocal blockchain proponents are naive w.r.t. the 'decentralized' part, implying it would mean 'no government intervention'.

Gold is extremely decentralized. You can't know how much I own of it. Yet, governments started taxing it, so they had to track ownership (however crudely).

Paper money started out decentralized as bank notes (basically IOUs stating 'this piece of paper can be exchanged for G grams of gold at bank B'). Yet, governments started taxing it, so they had to track ownership, in the end making centralized institutions that govern how much paper money is made.

I don't see any reason why blockchain wouldn't go the same way (income in bitcoin already is taxed in quite a few countries, AFAIK; it just is hard to track)

Quite a few vocal proponents advocated the idea that bitcoin could solve (¿perceived or real?) social problems with technology. That's naive.

Perhaps it is the anti-authoritarian ideological foundations of Bitcoin that triggers much of the animosity, as GP evidences:

>its proponents are full of shit, political and naive to the extreme and they are against government by default.

It is the "faith" or confidence that many people have in their government which gives psychological stability to their respective fiat currency, and Bitcoin threatens that faith

>It is the "faith" or confidence that many people have in their government which gives psychological stability to their respective fiat currency, and Bitcoin threatens that faith

Appreciate that comment, I think a lot of this crypto does threaten the status quo, which makes people a bit uncomfortable.
