I use the Apple Watch for running, which I do three to four times a week and have for years. It serves as a display for the training software installed on my phone. Works well, too. Just to counter the other kind of anecdotal evidence shown here. I know that many people who use the same software also use the Apple Watch app – they write about it on FB – and those on newer iterations of the watch (I have a Series 1 device) with GPS often use it as a standalone device, no phone necessary.
The original article is somewhat misleading and so is the summary, and by extension, also the discussion.
Yes, the Central Party wanted to push free overall *local* public transport, the kind that does not cross county borders. That did not come to pass. Instead, they instated a programme that encourages local transport operators to set up such free lines, only that it is not mandatory. Those operators that decide to enrol in the programme will get subsidies, those that don't, well, won't. But there will be some operators that won't, because there'll be various strings attached.
There never was a plan to extend the free local public transport initiative to country-wide public transport, so city to city bus lines were never meant to be free for all. Rail transport was never included in the plan.
This initiative is basically an opportunity for transport companies to get state subsidies in return for operating free local lines, if they choose to participate. This is no 24/7 free public transport zone, with unicorns. I love it how our PR people can spin stuff, but this is too much.
The country's population is most emphatically not overwhelmingly concentrated around the capital city Tallinn. The city's population is ~400,000, the surrounding county (size ~4300 sq km) adds about 200,000, which means that out of the 1.3 million inhabitants, most live elsewhere.
According to RFC 6762, this has been a bad idea for years, because.local is an official special-use multicast DNS domain name and should not be used like that or it'll break your Zeroconf (should that find its way into your network, and it will) six ways from Sunday.
Actually, I don't think you can, unless you want to seriously limit your vocabulary. English managed to shed a large proportion of its original vocabulary post-William, so it's mostly French and Latin now. Germanic vocabulary amounts to ~26 per cent, while both Latin and French words amount to 29% each. Have a blast:

I don't know whether you are arguing about the same kind of exercise (running and pumping iron don't require the same kind of attire), but I must say that having changed my running outfit from random five to ten year old t-shirts found in the ‘maybe good for wearing while home alone’ pile to clothing designed for running (initially mainly because I received it as a gift), I am never going back to the worn tees. It was utter pain running in +30C while wearing a chafing t-shirt that weighed half a kilo and got heavier every minute. The nipple issue was not pronounced (i.e. not bloody, but it still hurt), but I have had to miss a week of running because of bloody legs caused by cotton chafing. It's a real issue for runners, and marathon and ultra runners often cover their strategic body parts with vaseline or the like to minimise the risk of bloody thighs, for example. Plus, as long as we're here, while sweating is pretty much a welcome byproduct of exercise, it can also be a big problem when it hits your eyes (AND you've got nothing to wipe it off with because everything you're wearing is a sweat sponge).
So the snobby people can laugh all they want while having sexual intercourse with themselves, it does not change anything. Specially designed clothing is better suited for the purpose than random stuff haphazardly thrown together. That said, moving one's arse in random clothing is infinitely better than not moving it at all.
The wire on wired headphones has never been a problem
No, you got it wrong. The *plug* has never been a problem. The wire has been a huge problem. I have had to throw away many pairs of headphones with broken cables. Had to change the cable at least ten times. Cannot count the times when I've needed to fix the damn wire (one infinitely thin thread, damn nigh unfixable) and finally ended up with a butt ugly concoction that ultimately always breaks. No. The plug is fine and it was a shite move by Apple to get rid of it, I don't like it. But the wires, they have always been a problem. They break. A lot.
Not one piece of my running equipment has those features, and I have quite a few. I did use wired headphones for running for a long time, so I am speaking from extensive experience that they are a frigging nuisance to route, they dangle, they weigh on the headphones and pull them out, they needlessly expose the phone to the elements, etc. Plantronics Backbeat Fit all the way, baby.
You can pair Bluetooth HR monitors to the Apple Watch easily. What do you mean "can't use"? Google "pair bluetooth hrm to apple watch", get over six hundred thousand results, read one page. http://www.imore.com/how-pair-... for example. There *are* things that could be improved, though (the list of workout apps that stay on top could be longer, for instance).
Not pointless, everybody has a different use case. I must say I was a tad skeptical when I received mine as a gift, for much the same perceived reasons, but after an adjustment period, I grew to enjoy it. I use mine as a sports watch, i.e. it serves as the GUI for a running app. It's very useful for starting/stopping the workout, checking the stats while on the go (yes, necessary, very often), and sometimes skipping to the next interval. It also serves as a handy tea timer, and I drink a lot of tea. It also provides instant weather report, lets me browse incoming SMS/Google Talk/Fleep whatever messages quickly, acts as a reminder to stand up and move around a bit, and provides reminders about other events that I've set up in the calendar. All that without needing to play with my phone all the time. It also vibrates when there's an incoming call, so I can leave my phone on silent at all times, which is a very nice feature to have and helps keep disruptions to a minimum. I've even played Knight Rider with it on occasion and talked to my wrist, because apparently it's safer than using the phone while bicycling. Oh, and it's also an excellent watch. With all these features, so friggin' what if I have to charge it for an hour every day and a half or every other day?
They actually did also announce the HFS+ replacement called Apple File System that does all those things that you mentioned. Wiki link: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik.... I actually came here to read more about it since the details around the web are still scarce, but I should have known better, really.
Agreed. That or speed bumps every block. That will frustrate the majority of drivers and indirectly force the problem elsewhere.
In our corner of the world, it's possible to have traffic signs installed that indicate ‘Closed for traffic’ and then add exceptions, such as for the local residents, public transportation, and service vehicles. That should pretty much do the trick, as far as Waze is concerned. As long as the road has been paid for by the local government, they *should* have a say in who gets to use this or that road and for what purpose. Streets in residential areas should not be used as thoroughfares, they have not been designed for that and it's not safe for anybody.
The YouTube app is a sad joke - the TV supports a USB keyboard and mouse, but the YouTube app doesn't, so you have to use the shitty on-screen keyboard to search. Worthless.
Can't you pair the app to your YouTube account and then use your computer for searching and streaming the video to your television? I cannot say for other manufacturers, but the YouTube app installed on our Philips set allows you to do that and that's how I use it, at least on those rare occasions when I watch YouTube on TV. Really beats the hell out of using the remote for searching.
Spoken like a true contrarian, anti-everything. Thanks for sharing, though, and you're entitled to your opinion, however moronic or contrarian. It's a free country, dissidents will not be murdered by anonymous thugs next to the presidential palace. That's how *they* roll.
What makes you say those things? Sweden and Finland are not even in NATO and they have capable armies of their own, as well as functioning defence industries. Norway is in NATO, but also maintains an army (it's really a requirement for membership) and an exporting defense industry. If anything, it's a net benefit to the US to have them as allies (access to ports, proximity to foes, well-trained personnel etc.). Your notion that somehow the US is feeding the entire world is... let's say amusing. I don't know what to make of your argument as a whole when the basic premise is so much off the mark.
Buy the ticket online or at the cashier's, the driver only needs to point the code reader at the ticket (printed or on-screen) and off you go. Or use a transportation card with an embedded RFID chip akin to the Oyster in London. No need to wave your coins and waste other people's time. Use designated public transportation lanes (also available to taxis and perhaps electric cars). No stopping at stops where no one is waiting and no one in the bus has pushed the "I want to get off" button. Mandate seatbelts on long distance trips.
See, I made buses way faster *and* safer. Now, if anybody could explain this stopping and opening doors at railway crossings, cos that definitely sounds stupid.
I would ignore Outlook not because it's a Microsoft product, but because of its inability to play nice with other IMAP clients. AFAIK they even did away with custom Deleted Messages folder, having never really supported a custom Sent Messages folder or a custom Junk folder. Guess what happens if a user accesses his/her e-mail with Outlook at work, Thunderbird at home, some random e-mail software that they have on Android, and Roundcube while travelling? Too many sent mail boxes, too many deleted items folders, that's what. "Help me please, I don't see the stuff I sent at work while I am at home, and vice versa." Heard this too many times. (Outlook 2003 could not even save sent messages to an IMAP folder. The horror.) And sometimes when Outlook decides that it's nice to change the display language, it will also create completely new folders on the server... again. In the current display language. Sometimes with accented characters in a system folder's name. Cannot use what Dovecot prescribed, cannot just use display names like every other IMAP client out there, no, it needs a shiny new folder. I've spent a bit too much time in Maildir directories making symlinks and trying to make Outlook play nice, only to have the next version come along and do something new and interesting.
I don't even want to delve into its need for two.pst files, one for some "local folder" that IMAP users never touch and which cannot be removed. Or its inability to meaningfully access CalDAV/CardDAV without third party hacks that may or may not work (OK, so it's not Oulook's fault per se when they don't, but why would it lack the functionality?). Outlook without Exchange is really a lame option, because it is too large, complicated and all over the place for a simple e-mail client, and it's not a very good IMAP client at that.
There are *two* systems, and the creator of the first one (actually the system itself, by using the humans as feet on the ground) is trying to undo the other system. Kind of like KITT vs. KARR.
Your other theory is very nice, only that it is untrue and shows that you haven’t really been to Europe. Where did you get that ‘protected from the Japanese manufacturers’ part? Japanese cars are very common in Europe, dealerships abound.

As SSD means "Super Spinning Disk", it probably goes to at least 30k.
