I'm a four digit user id as well and have been paying since they first offered it.
While I plan to stick it out with Strava, I'd also like to explore any new apps out there that might take its place. Got any ideas of other apps out there?
* Add sliders for setting greenery and hills preferences (so you can _prefer_ hills, rather than just avoid them)
* Add support for preferring particular surfaces (e.g. tarmac vs trail)
* Add support for creating distance-specific round-trip routes that pass through one or more waypoints (at the moment you can only specify a start/stop location for round-trip)
* Sometimes round-trip routing suggests some very complex routes which would be hard to follow when running. Some work could go into simplifying such cases.
* Improve the UI/UX, it's still quite fiddly, especially on mobile
More distant:
* Cycling support
* Native mobile apps (there are already mobile apps for Trail Router, but they're basically WebViews)
* Offline routing support in the mobile app?!
* Direct sync'ing of routes to watches/Strava would be nice, but there's no open APIs for this yet.
If you have any other suggestions feel free to chip in!
I could be very wrong here, but I'm not so sure Apple's customers want the $1000 macbook.
Many mac users (and perhaps apple users in general) are the type of people willing to pay up for the top-of-the-line, latest-and-great, spare-no-expense tech gadget.
I've seen this with companies giving their developers the maxed out mac + mac accessories.
I've seen this with individuals who view their mac laptop as the biggest most important usage of their time.
Where have you seen apple struggle because they were being undercut by competitors?
Schools. Chromebooks are now an option and the iPad just isn't a laptop.
We were buyers of a lot of Mac minis, iMacs, and laptops, but folks are starting to ask for Surfaces and the Intel NUCs are a good deal. At this point, the graphics arts people might get Windows boxes if Apple doesn't get their crap together as Adobe runs just fine either way. That would be a true shame.
i think one of the things you're missing is that whole foods locations tend to be in more upscale, urban locations. and people that live in upscale, urban locations can't stand walmart.
The US can always pay its debt because it is denominated in US dollars - it can print sufficient US dollars to meet its debt obligations. States do not have this ability.
It might be if it had a constitutional amendment saying Medicaid, Medicare and/or Social Security were untouchable. It doesn't. There's no spending in the US that's not on the table. When or if push came to shove it's not hard to imagine some or all of those programs being cut just as it's not hard to imagine taxes going up.
