I have an account with no friends and that is an admin of one page, which I buy ads for. It’s not my real name, but obviously has my real CC info in there.
Interestingly, a friend showed me his contact list entry for me (I believe created through a 3rd party OSX app), and in the Facebook field it had the name used on the admin/ads account I have. Given I don’t use my real email address on the Facebook account I am amazed (but not particularly surprised) that the connection was made.
This movement is the output of a combined R&D lab for LVMH watch brands (Tag, Zenith, Hublot, Bulgari). So the movement will likely to be rolled out to watches by all of those brands.
It doesn’t clearly show the mainspring, however at around 10:45 you can see the small gear spinning. That is being driven by the mainspring, and if you removed the escapement it would spin super quick until the mainspring was unwound.
It’s the constant rocking back and forth of the regulator that limits the speed that small gear (called the escape wheel) can rotate, therefore limiting how quickly the mainspring releases it’s energy.
So many publishers still have such a long way to go in working out how to do native content well.
While the study is interesting, I reckon that piece took Matt Yglesias (an otherwise great writer) all of about 10 minutes to write. And the token "make sure to save enough, own stocks for the long term, and stick to passive strategies rather than trying to beat the market." is just awkward.
My initial reaction was dismay that Google seemingly didn't consult any decent auto designers on this. But then I wonder if that's actually fine.
My kids will likely be baffled by the idea that we attached so much of our own identity to our cars. The financial investment in cars to make a statement about ourselves (over and above getting us from A to B) is immensely irrational.
With self driving cars ownership will likely disappear, and be replaced with time sharing. At that point the connection between our view of ourselves, and the car we ride in disappears.
I'm not sure that completely excuses the lack of modern car aesthetic here, but it could go some way to explaining it.
