I'd have just one final remark, that it really is not a engineering problem but rather a business decision.

After all; having paid gazillions to engineers and project managers to build the sludgefest, all that cash needs to be harvested back into the pockets.

I race criteriums (and end up on the podium every once in a while) so I know relatively well how to corner. Fact is that there is no way to compare grip of tires except to trust a reputable manufacturer.

I wish there was a site that ranks tire grip. Only way to know right now is to see who is rolling faster through the corners than you and word of mouth.

If you play it in reverse it works much better while simultaneously being more or less still the same commercial.

Can anyone explain to me why exactly Classical music ?

I feel like acquiring a niche in the (music) market is not the apple way. If google/alphabet did this, it would have been killed already, but apple is sticking to it.

is tim apple or someone in the upper management just a big hardcore classical music fanatic ?

I never understood why people calculate time savings like this. Similar for a developer 1 times 5 hours yields not the same producitiy/results as 5 times 1 hours, due to "context switching overhead" for example.

Claiming you saved a couple of lifetimes when all you can gain is a couple of seconds is so misleading.

Saw this on twitter along with a snarky remark about raising the retirement age. Cant find the tweet anymore and the article doesnt say, but is retirement age affected by this reform ?

What kind of rollercoaster ride has more than ~10-20 g forces ?

I could see how "negative" g forces could lead to a false positive but I think the absolute forces are too low.

On the other hand I could see how during dancing the phone gets thrown around and that may be a similar pattern to a car crash.
