This is also why they recommend not to use polarized while cycling, it can obscure slicks or water in certain sections. I still use mine but I know it's not as ideal as photo chromatic lenses.

I have a go pro but it's a bit of hassle to setup, I tried a chest mount and the angle wasn't great and I think the eye level view would look better. Also more convenient to record on glasses which I'll have to wear anyways.

Yes, I could record while talking to people but I wouldn't get the point of that, I want to record descents and pretty views.

My main point is someone owning smart glasses doesn't mean they automatically suck and should be ostracized.

I want to get the Oakley Meta ones so I can record bike rides easier, should I not be tolerated?

This started as a joke idea I had but I've had a lot of fun making this and I got some of my friends to sign-up, adds another reason for me to ride my bike.

I am working on gamifying strava activities with a game called Hog Crankers. They are little hogs that turn a crank and right now it syncs to your strava and generates a certain amount of hogs per 5 miles of activity.

I got it approved by Strava so i can have up to 1000 athletes login, been making some small UI changes and next need to tweak the economics. I plan on making it kind of like a base building type of game.

I think it was iOS 9 that had some glitch where the animations were completely disabled and it was a really awesome experience to click an app and have it instantly open with zero animations.

I used to feel this way until I discovered cycling, I started running because I don't want to bike in NYC winter weather. Highly recommending trying cycling since you get to make it as hard as you want and it builds amazing cardio

Yeah, during covid and little bit after I was in amazing shape because I was able to go on nice long bike rides a few times a week. It got me thinking what would our society feel like if everyone was able to exercise?

When I was young we had golden retriever and the first time he saw my neighbors pool he dove in immediately and started swimming. He wasn't a complete puppy so maybe he was more confident in his ability.

Google got hacked back in 2010, lookup Operation Aurora. It wasn't a full own, but it shows that even the big guys can get hacked.

I wish Apple would skip yearly macOS releases, there is no need.

Why do you need a blockchain for this? What benefit does it bring here?

I don't necessarily blame people for using AI to help them write or spruce something up, however I find the tone particularly off-putting.

These excerpts show off that "AI"-tone I'm sure most people see.

The San Bernardino case is gone from headlines. But the backdoor? It’s in your phone. It’s in Google’s servers. It’s in Meta’s messages. It’s in the legal system that always wins. Apple’s 2016 stand wasn’t forgotten. It was buried under the next headline. But it’s still true.

Imagine if we went further and put them on rails and interconnected them. Maybe even built dedicated tunnels for them.

The American Healthcare is so broken already that further breakage could be seen as an improvement.

Finally, I will make a subway that crosses the park!

And one of the main characters is played by Glen Howard (Dennis for the Always Sunny Fans). He does a good job of playing psychopaths.

I don't even get that kind of hit from a game though unless playing with friends, and that's because I'm with my friends. If I was playing alone I'd play for 30 minutes max and then stop.

Very interesting, I had to re-read it a few times to make sure it was real and not some elaborate prank. I actually wrote a Philosophy paper where there was a computer that had a biological component, and this is almost exactly what I had in mind, very neat to see that there is a company out there making it.

Almost funny to imagine the world where cartels will smuggle large quantities of Switch 2's to sell to Americans.

Maybe it will come full circle and the US will commit IP theft to catch up to the dominant Chinese companies.

I love learning more history, thank you for the recommendation, I would have never discovered this myself.

Actually my complaint relates to open office designs, the macbook mic picks up louder people from across the room. So if I do use headphones and the MBP mic, other people will hear random noise blurbs from anywhere in the office .

Good reminder of why people should be wary of governments collecting data because this a stark reminder that the government can change at any time.

Taiwan can offer Russian advanced chips in exchange for nuclear weapons

Nothing, same guy who said Covid would be over by Easter a month after the first lockdowns.

I can't wait, I never got a Pebble but it was the most interesting smart watch style to me.

How are these licenses enforceable?

There are plenty of other places they can upload that content.

Domestic governments shouldn't let hostile foreign governments the ability to exert soft power over 1/2 of their population. Hence why China banned all USA based tech companies from operating there.

If you are a fan of history, Conquistador: Hernan Cortes, King Montezuma, and the Last Stand of the Aztecs by Buddy Levy is a fantastic read.

Prior to reading this book, I naively assumed Cortes waltzed into Meso America and took over, this is a well sourced historical account of everything that happened that led to the fall of Tenochtitlan.
