Why do you want their identities hidden? What are you planning or hoping they're planning?

I believe the parent commenter prefers honest products; ones that don’t pull the rug on you after you’ve purchased it.

I think you mean their stated intent is to eventually make this technology available to own (I haven’t watched the video you linked but I’m going to charitably assume they say what you’re asserting).

I, and many others, are past the point of trusting their words.

First off, thank you for building this open source tool folli! With companies changing their subscription terms (eg: GaiaGPS) or shutting down (eg: FatMap), I and many others are looking for alternatives.

Chiming in to +1 SteveVeilStream's point about, "I often want to visualize a planned route". I personally care very little about statistics for a past activity and care much more about route planning for an upcoming activity and route tracking during an activity.

If you're firm on CubeTrek being a diary of your activities, then that's fair but it means folks like me, SteveVeilStream, and anyone else who's unhappy about the changes happening to paid GPS apps will need to continue searching.

Yes, managers do. This article is about a manager who got PIPed. From the article, "So my manager took away all my direct reports, and shoved me into a small box, and said you could do this and try to work yourself out of it."

His manager was likely upset because the guy left before he was put on the PIP and so wouldn't count towards the HR VP's (and by extension his manager's) 6% goal.

I disagree. SOME rust belt towns are not dependent on a single corporation. Other rust belt towns are and when that company ceases operations there, the town experiences rapid decline.

If you disagree that some rust belt towns are dependent on a single corporation, I think you are either using a different definition of dependent than how I read the original comment use it, or you are not aware that towns where a single factory employs a significant portion of the towns population exist.

Because they're human? Because wrongful convictions happen? Also, the deterrent effect of prison is more dependent on certainty of punishment, rather than severity of punishment.[1]

You think warning Israeli citizens of missile strikes is silly and pointless?
