Theoretically, but that's not part of the model today. And if you're going to innovate on that, it's unclear that you'd want to do it on top of SMTP as a transport, rather than something newer. SMTP itself provides very

One big difference with this data set is that it's pulled from tracks traced by Strava users. So, modulo malicious uploaded tracks, these are all tracks that have been ridden, by definition. And if a given route is "hotter",

Right now I'm very intrigued by sous-vide but am too paranoid about the plastics to make the jump. FYI, immersion circulators are fairly common in restaurant kitchens, since it's so much easier to get predictable results with th
