My experience was a couple of weeks using it full time to really get comfortable with the basics. From that point you'll be constantly learning new ways of doing things better because vim is really more of a language than anything.

While I get your point, I'm not sure Athens is the best example. Athens is a college town that's both too close and too far from the Atlanta metro area to really see many companies invest in it. Alpharetta, for example, is an hour

I guess the point I disagree on is that I don't see it as getting burned. If you treat people differently based solely on their name, sure, that can cause problems. For me when I'm mistaken, it's just a matter of making note

Intake helps, correct, but on the latter point, most newer cars are coming with removable underbody paneling for just that reason. Aero is just improving across the board. The Nissan Leaf, for example, has a drag coefficient of around .28.

by commandar 11y ago
While your other points are perfectly valid, improved aero isn't an advantage unique to electric cars.

Okay, just wanted to be sure because you're absolutely right that they're practically a requirement. Definitely build yourself an IR tracker. Should cost you less than $10 in components and it works far better than face tracking

Other comments seem to indicate that this previously wasn't an issue for Pebble support. From a consumer perspective, I can see Apple's argument that mentioning Android support doesn't matter because the app running on Androi

Exactly. Being an AI company is what's pushing them toward the automobile industry. It's easier for Google to get into manufacturing cars than it is for the traditional automobile makers to develop a competency in AI on Google&#x2

It's just over half of what some Android Wear devices are doing, and I'd characterize them as having short battery lifes. It's 15-20% of what the Pebble gets. In my book, that adds up to extremely short.

Anything reasonably under a full 24 hour day precludes sleep tracking. That's extremely short compared to the Pebbles that get the better part of a week and can be used for sleep tracking without issue. Squabbling over 16 vs 18 vs 20 h

by commandar 11y ago
The extremely short battery life also precludes one of the best use cases I've found for my Pebble: sleep tracking.

Yeah, it kind of sounds like someone that decided to stick a GoPro in their C172 would be at risk of falling afoul of this interpretation of commercial use if they stuck the video on YouTube.

Sorry if I was unclear. I meant holders of non-commercial private pilot's licenses. You see a lot of things like people posting videos recorded during their private flights online. e.g., https://www.youtube.com/watch?

My question would be is there a similar restriction on PPL holders monetizing videos recorded during their flights?

It generally requires an upgrade to the fuel system, yes. There's been a lot of discussion of this in the tuner community, but the very short version is that it works and works well if making power is your goal. There's a good p
