Concepts for a Bridgewater (Nova Scotia) Flag without Text
The town of Bridgewater in Nova Scotia recently polled about three flag redesigns it was doing. Very unfortunately, all three had a lot of text on it that doesn’t read legitimately from the reverse side, from which flags can often be seen. Worse, that text was not just a word or two, it was multiple words, on multiple baselines, in multiple fonts that included italics, multiple font weights, multiple font colours that included a hard to read grey, multiple sizes, and even multiple capitalizations! Basically, everything that could be done wrong with text was done incorrectly. This, despite the Town Council having read good flag design principles in one of the standard manuals for such things called Good Flag, Bad Flag. I also have evidence from my own and others’ studies that text on a flag is the worse design feature it could have in terms of being rated well by the general public. The Town Council had deemed their case an exception, apparently, according to their Communications Officer on Facebook. I’m not sure how, as no explanation was given, but it was exceptionally… bad, to paraphrase Snoop Dog in some recent beer commercial, though unlike Snoop, this was not a personal opinion. Data from thousands of survey raters around the world on over 500 flags deemed this.
Potentially Popular New Strava Monthly Challenges
The Strava platform has a bunch of monthly challenges that makes things fun for users. For example, run 100, 200, or 300 km, or walk 50 km, or cycle numerous distances. These are great! However, I am surprised they are missing some that are not only beneficial for users, popular from science backings in at least Western culture, and just systematically to be comparable across activities. I have listed some below and hope Strava will add them as I don’t think they would be hard to add, considering there are already algorithms for some similar challenges in place, so it should just a matter of switching the limits. For other challenges, there is other data available from fitness apps that Strava takes into account for other calculations, like # of steps for average stride length calculations, so it’s a matter of the new data totals and a limit, or two changes, to existing algorithms, to create new challenges that would be fun and beneficial beyond fun for users!
An Algorithmic Idea for Strava to Eliminate Cheating
The Strava platform has a definite cheating problem. Not definitely got a cheating problem. They got a definite cheating problem that is unquestionably possible to prove. People are able to complete their segments at record speeds not even possible in a car to get top place in those standings. They are able to traverse distances or elevations not even possible in machines accessible to the normal person to top the standings in monthly challenges. Some of this is unintentional, due to fitness device GPS confusion, but a lot of it is not. Data just don’t, and definitely can’t, match up like with lower than even regular cadence in running point to point distances, resulting in multiple blocks per stride.
