The timeline is not readable on narrow desktop windows (e.g. when you have two windows tiled side-by-side, but not so narrow as to switch to the mobile layout). The labels for the years overlap each other so it's very hard to read.
More than half imo, my Forerunner 265S is pretty much a full-blown coach that fits on my wrist. It adapts training to my sleep (such a great feature when you've just had a baby) keeps track of load, low aerobic, high aerobic, etc...
It's been a fragile piece of hardware, I am on my 3rd one in as many years (always replaced under warranty though), but I still probably wouldn't switch to anything else. When it breaks out of warranty I'll just buy another one.
Nothing in that article suggests that the actual stones come from Europe. It seems like it would be rather impractical to import that much heavy material.
This report [0] from the Historic Districts Council in NYC says:
> Despite the name Belgian block, it remains unclear to what
extent, and during what era, paving stones imported from Belgium
may have provided the raw materials for New York City’s streets.¹ It
is known that the city’s early paving stones included a type of six-
inch-square traprock commonly called “Belgian” block, and said to
have first been used in Belgium.
>1. While it has often been reported that Belgian blocks were
imported to New York as ship ballast, we have not found primary
evidence to confirm this practice.
Design is about limiting the actions available to guide the user towards a preferred set of outcomes. A good tool makes it easier to get good results and harder to get bad results.
Of course, what “good results” are depends entirely on what you’re trying to accomplish, which is why picking the right tool for the job is so important.
