Yes, it is still a quartz watch. The oscillator is still a quartz oscillator. However the mechanism which advances the second hand is replaced with onethat does not need to tick.

The kind of quartz watch is no longer a ticking quartz watch, it is a non-ticking quartz watch.

As for the specific wording of the article, I would assume the authoris not fully versed in partsof quartz watches, and does not know that the oscillator which keeps time is different from the stepping motor which moves the hands.

This invention targets only replacing the stepping motor, not the oscillator.

Thats exactly the proposition. Eliminate tifking quartz watches in favor of non-ticking quartz watches.

Say goodbye to the quartz watches that do tick replace them with ones that do not tick

French innovator aims to consign ticking quartz watches to history

The 'ticking' is what is being consigned to history. The article is about an alternative to 'ticking quartz watches', a non-ticking quartz watch

Its the 'ticking' part of ticking quartz

My understanding is that google doesn't report that the review has been made, so developers justset a flag internally. Going to leave a review, then clicking back, should be sufficient

I see this meh-meh come up occasionally, and I'm always amused because designers are constantly looking at the competition and adjusting to suit. Why do you think all sebtites look the same?

The one wheel works by having the rider lean in a direction to go that way. The more you lean, the faster it goes. It balances by pushing the rider in that direction. The trick is when you are leaning and going very fast, but then the board loses power and can't push you anymore. Then the board nose dives and ejects you. Its the physics of the board, so they can warn you it might happen, but not prevent it.

Note:

just like you council people out when they underperform for your org, council people out when they can no longer grow or advance. Those people will also be unhappy over time, and create drag on your whole org. Make opportunites to grow, to grow elswhere in the company, and finally at other companies

Yeah, this. I lean heavily into coaching, which is specifically helping them apply skills they already have to a problem.

I also draw clear lines between what I can help with and what I need to do for the company, and try my best to display when I am fighting for them and when I cannot. Building trust is a key part of the relationship, and having suspicion that you are two faced kills it dead.

With this and the other things mentioned, I too have only had peopae quit because of money, and in one instance he came to me to ask if he should do so (we talked it out without me giving any advice, just comparing opportunities)
