42mm isn't really outrageous for a wristwatch anymore. At least it's not a Diesel monstrosity.


True, and some fashion watches have got truly silly.

I think it's the combination of diameter and thickness. When I looked at an Android it was just that bit too imposing. If either dimension shrinks I'll look again.


I'm a larger guy and it's outrageous to me. I have had 2 Wear watches and both were too large. My Pebble Time is the perfect size... sadly I won't be getting my Time 2 to replace it.


Is the Model S not mass produced?


Compared with other EVs the volumes seem pretty high: http://insideevs.com/monthly-plug-in-sales-scorecard/

Compared to a comparable line of luxury cars, for instance the BMW 5-series, the volumes are relatively low: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_5_Series#Production_and_sa...


Compaing US sales of Model S for 2015 to say something like a Toyota RAV4 (a popular but not top selling car in the US)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Model_S#Top_selling_coun...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_RAV4

Model S 2015: 25,202

Toyota RAV 4 2015: 315,412

In the US, the best selling vehicle the Ford F-Series which sold 780,354 in 2015

So I wouldn't say it's not mass produced, but it hasn't hit full economy of scale, and isn't designed to.


If you really want to make Tesla production numbers seem tiny then compare it to vehicle platforms.


The roadster wasn't, Each model has funded devel/production of the following model. I think parent meant S&X are funding "mass productions (model 3)"


Production for the masses might be more on point.


I wish there was something like it just for Calendaring though. Especially on the desktop. For email I'm already using Polymail full time and it's a hassle to have two email clients just for calendar.


What do you use for calendaring right now?

What do you wish it did?


Not the OP, but on my Android device I have an easier time of calendaring since basically any app I choose will show all of the calendars I want (personal, my work calendar, my manager's calendar, my team's calendar) in the same space. For desktop, I did have Sunrise's desktop app until I noticed I wasn't getting a proper sync of some (apparently random) appointments from desktop to cloud/mobile, and even more so because I accepted an appointment via Sunrise and it changed my email alias in the response from my actual address to Sunrise's generic "invitation@email.sunrise.am" so that people then started emailing me at the generic email rather than my actual address.

Most of my calendars are Google Apps. Outlook was my backup for the work calendar using the Google Apps Outlook Sync app (although I've noticed a few sync failures there, too), and just adding additional calendars to Outlook without having all of my email there too looks like it requires some kind of arcane magick. Thunderbird+Lightning got rotated out of the mix quickly due to a lot of issues syncing and getting multiple calendars into it.

Probably because everyone we're communicating with is mixing between Google Apps/webview calendar and Outlook or Office 365, I also find that I regularly can't see an appointment that is emailed to me in my email client as it shows up as an .ics file attachment instead.

So featurewise:

- Most important for me: Easy addition of multiple calendars, where I can just select which calendar a new appt should be added, as easily as I can in my Android clients- I hate using web clients for calendaring, and they never really show multiple calendars well. NOTE: I mean that the calendar has a direct sync to each of the calendars online, not having one main account to which I have to share all of my other calendars. I want one place where I can go to view and create appointments and then have them also show up in their respective accounts. - Supports open standards like CalDAV/CardDAV as well as syncs to Google or Office 365 (I can select a provider like Fastmail that uses CalDAV for my personal calendar, but I'm stuck with Google or O365 for work) - Desktop client, multiple views (agenda, today, week, month) - drag-and-drop of items into the calendar to create a new appointment - "Send to calendar" from an email as an option - Categorization/tagging on an appointment would be nice - Outlook allows this but Google doesn't seem to allow tagging appointments like you can email

A bit of a data dump, but a desktop client that handles multiple calendars well is surprisingly difficult to find in Windows. I happily pay for a number of otherwise free services (Pandora, Evernote, Pocket, Lastpass, etc.), but there really isn't even a pay option.


Did you try eMClient? One of the rare clients that does *DAV on Windows.


Thanks, I hadn't heard of it but I'll see how it works.


Where are you thinking about moving to?


Gusto


This was decision as well. In the price range of the Model S I was considering the M6 and the 911. Ultimately I went with the M6.

GT characteristics when I want, goes plenty fast for someone that seldomly goes to the track and yet still is capable of exciting on the road. The P85D, while fast, when I floored it I felt like I was taking off on a plane but there was a sense of comfort and safety that, funnily enough, I didn't want.


Nice choice! I opted not to get the M6 because I wanted something closer to ~3400lbs, which is about what the 911 GTS is, but you can't go wrong with a twin-turbo V8!

Though now that I'm in the middle (well, almost done with the first version) of building https://recent.io/ it means more screen time and less driving...


In what country is it the most popular type?


Minivans are most popular is North America. The data cited is for US sales but my original argument was worldwide sales.


I was surprised no one brought this up. What is your visa situation?


I can work under TN visa which is very easy to get.


You have to have a job before you are granted a TN visa at the border.


let's do it


how?


lol ... FAILED!!


I thank God everyday for our outstandingly small IE population
