I remember him saying before the election that the odds of Trump winning we're roughly the odds of a randomly picked day being a Saturday. Which always seemed pretty clear to me - Saturdays definitely happen, Trump could definitely happen. And then it did, and it was nothing like a Saturday, not at all.

The "switch" unit sounds like it's just a chemical catalyst for electrolysis of water into Hydrogen and Oxygen...

Am I the only one that thinks that a) it's obvious that these sorts of devices (face wearables) aren't led by people who have worn glasses their whole life and b) if you haven't lived that, you shouldn't try to build devices for people's faces?

I say it's obvious because neither Glass nor Spectacles were wearable by people who need corrective lenses AS corrective eyewear.

None of the leadership had any idea what it meant to have a large piece of hardware on your face all day every day. Nor, importantly, how to convince someone to put a large piece of hardware in their face every day all day.

It's like they didn't even BOTHER to call the guys at warby Parker, or zenni, or even the anti-christ Luxotica

Glasses are SO much more personal than a computer or a phone, or even a shirt or other clothing. They are your face. Your literal identity.

It's so tone deaf of both teams (and everyone in the AR/VR community that thinks some manner of out-in-public eyewear is "close) to not deal with that need for customization at minimum.

Sorry had to rant about that. M sure all those people are actually pretty sharp, and I'm just being grumpy.
