What happens when your watch and fitness app don't get along? Many runners are about to find out | CBC News With fall race reason at its peak, some athletes are stressing over news that fitness-tracking app Strava is suing device-maker Garmin in a U.S. lawsuit alleging patent infringementΒ and breach of cond...

I'm an analog runner. I don't even listen to music, let alone use tracking devices. The whole "if it's not on Strava it didn't happen" has always felt cringy to me (obvs being over 50 I'm not exactly looking to step on a podium anytime soon).

Dmitri Shostakovich saw Jesus Christ Superstar! He also liked it so much he considered writing a rock music themed suite (like his earlier Jazz suites) but died soon after.

When seeing headlines like this, from a Canadian perspective it's a reminder that our federal government doesn't even give grants like this in the first place. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Cinematography by some guy named Nicholas Roeg sure helped. Just a stunning, awful, beautiful film.

I don't want to sound like a conspiracist, but part of me wonders if some of this is intentional, to drive some of their workforce to voluntarily resign. Not unlike corporate-owned apartment buildings that have constant construction to drive tenants out.

Apple did something very similar to the people of Hong Kong in 2019, removing an app that allowed protesters to track police movements via crowdsourced information:

When this was first published, the Jane Goodall Foundation responded with a public denunciation. But Goodall herself hadn’t even seen the comic yetβ€”and when she did, she thought it was hilarious.
