I think because Americans believe they have to drive, that they have accepted the high risks present. Clearly automated driving would lead to less risk and lower deaths, but in this case it's the human error that is forgiven over one done by a computer.
Everybody knows that 3rd party parts, whether for your car, iphone, or dishwasher, may not be manufactured to the same standards of quality than a genuine part. I have no problem with Apple ensuring that an AASP uses only genuine parts. If I don't want to do that and pay less, I can always go to U Break I Fix
My point is that it's the biggest barrier to signup and if you're going to have a successful paid social network you might want to consider the value exchange right now as a new user. None of my friends are on Glass yet, so a big part of the value of a social network is not even present yet.
$5/month is such a steep barrier. How many subscription services can we take in our lives? Why can't it be $2/month? it certainly would attract more users.
I think WeWork is still a bit ahead of its time. Some see its value as culture, others see it as real estate. The ways we live and work are changing, but changing any culture takes time. I still feel that We Work is creating the future, but that value is still based on change that's inherently slower than we'd like.
OM is saying our relationship with photographs has changed, but it has actually just grown to include the phone. Taking photos with dedicated equipment is still important to many people. I suspect all those sales previously were not going to people serious about photos.
DJs and Soundcloud help me discover new music more than iTunes or Spotify ever could. Human curation is better than algorithms. Bandcamp is consistently the best place to buy music, both high quality digital and vinyl.
Why would anyone want to work for Facebook these days? When you are maintaining the largest advertising stream since TV while actively destroying society's discourse, I'm not sure what redeeming qualities it has. I think the most important thing any of us can do is get away from Facebook and move towards pursuits that fix problems, including the ones Facebook helped create.
Does anyone know which frequencies are the worst for your ears? I'm under the assumption that mid and high level frequencies do the most damage, with low frequencies doing the least. I would like to know the answer and stand corrected.
Because sound is not just a hearing experience, it's a feeling/body experience. Just stand in front of a massive sub stack to understand that. I know it's loud enough when my nose starts vibrating. With my earplugs in, of course.
