I wouldn't mind if they (unofficially) adopted a tick-tock release cycle. New features on even years, refinement and under-the-hood changes on odd years.

A US company did the same a few months ago, here's the discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46825828

That's more of a problem for the tech workers themselves, their fellow commuters clogging up the road, the companies who employ them, and the city (long-term, the city becomes stagnant and ossified). But that's not a problem for the landlords of the city, who benefit from the massively inflated rent they can charge.

A lot of people seem to buy fitness trackers merely to verify they sleep poorly, and then do nothing about it.

My Oura Ring picked up on breathing fluctuations that my Garmin did not detect.

However my Oura Ring was also very battery-constrained so it also only looked at heart rate every few minutes. My Garmin measured it every second.

It's usually not the primary benefit of the exercise. You are not going to maintain zone 2 (120-140 bpm) while lifting.

You are right, some EVs cut corners and don't activate the brake lights in these situations:

I loved their commercial with now-disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong at the time for its rebellious competitive spirit:

It was purely a commercial for the brand - Nike didn't sell any noteworthy cycling products.

Many shoe manufacturers do this with running groups, it's good marketing.

Unfortunately my oddly-shaped feet means I've had more bad than good experiences when trying to run a few miles in new shoes.

It's fine for a passenger, especially in the back seat. But as a driver, it adds a potentially bright source of light right at the top of your vision, and that can be annoying as hell. I covered my roof and I felt more relaxed since my eyes didn't have to adjust if I accidentally looked too far upwards.

Indoors, we avoid lighting a room with single bright overhead source of light. But this glass roof fad adds it to cars.

What make and model? I have not sat in a modern car where this have been a problem, ever. I drive a model 3 Tesla with glass roof and there is simple no issues with Sun glare from the sunsglasses like filter on the glass roof.

Indoors most people indeed love windows, even moreso if they are roof windows. I agree dont hang a spotlight in your face, but that is hadly the same as the Sun, otherwise how do people their houses walking, running biking without roofs?

The light is not incapacitating, it's simply an unnecessary annoyance.

People do love windows, but people also love window blinds that they close when the light points directly into a room. Especially if you are forced to face that window.

People who spend a lot of time outside gravitate towards wearing hats and sunglasses.
