maybe more like $4000 where you can get a low-end Rolex. The $1000-4000 price range seems to be dominated by nice looking watches that use swatch (ETA) movements. At least the sub-$1000 watches are honest about what they are, so you'

sure, but you can put yourself into a different market virtually. Just because you and your employer are not in the same physical location doesnt mean you aren't in the same market.

Right. I think that I agree that in 10-15 years we may look back at these watches with the same curiosity that we look back on digital watches with. There will still be some around, but probably won't be talked about as much. The thi

I have a first-gen apple watch and I almost never use it. The only time I've really put it to much use was while traveling, but then I bought a cheapo spanish automatic and now I wear that instead. I have an FP Journe that I wear reg

Not sure why you got downvoted there, you raise a good point about TN and NAFTA (though your assertion about nurses having issues at the border cries for a citation). I don't think you're wrong that people should be concerned abo

Unlike Canada, California benefits from a pool of ~290 million other people who self-select to move there with 0 barriers other than having a few dollars to buy a gray hound ticket.

I think the conservativeness of Canada is a bit different from conservatives in the USA though. It's less focused on "morality" and religion and more an aversion to change. Which is why I think it's possible for the cu

Really? I've never had problems with my Surge II Transit. The only time I've run into troubles is when I'm in an international airport and go "But this is TSA approved..." to which the usual response is an angry &q

Some backpack makers (such as North Face) make TSA Approved backpacks that allow you to keep your laptop in the bag through the scanner. They basically open up like a book and the laptop is held in a pocket where the shoulder straps attach

It was at one time (basically the PHP of DAWs) but I've heard it's gotten much much better over the years. Granted I haven't exactly been keeping up with that world so maybe that image has stuck with it.

I keep harping on this about google, but this is so typical of google. It's the same kinda crap with WebRTC, QUIC, VP9/Webm. The one complete WebRTC lib is dug out of Chromium. QUIC, last I checked, is buried in Chromium. VP9&

Even if you do link statically you can still run into issues like the std::string one you mentioned earlier. For example WebRTC builds itself with Clang and on Linux, at least as of last year, and I was having trouble with libc++ on Linux
