I can appreciate the looks and the engineering, but it would drive me crazy to figure out the current date on that watch. I think readability is super important for watches, and at least for the date, this one isn't really that readabl

I would like to see a study on the opposite case: give them free housing and see how many of them will then manage to get a job that pays at least 1000$ per month.

I think that the problem of not hearing well in places like busy restaurants and bars is also often exacerbated by bad room acoustics. Acoustics are sadly an often overlooked factor when designing interior spaces (except for concert halls a

True, but if you're having two windows side by side, the wider 16:9 will give you more horizontal space to do so. One more thing about display sizes and aspect ratio: Since display sizes are usually given by the length of the diagonal,

Good points! However, the high-refresh-rate monitor also needs to be supported. I have a 144 hz monitor which works fine with my Windows PC, but when I connect it to my work Macbook, it goes back to 60 hz. In the MacOS display settings, the

Here in Germany, back in the 90s, racewalking was sometimes broadcast at night on Eurosport, along with other weirdo sports like Australian Football.

Respectfully, that's not such a good example, as both of those names can be first or last names. DOE John would be a better example.
