A nutrition label useful for both comparison and meal planning? What will they think of next?

I used to think this was a bad idea because while objective numbers are great, it can be difficult to apply it to real life. But then manufacturers play games with serving size so it’s no more realistic than a flat 100g, so I’ll pick the more honest choice

Given that the most typical use is spreading it on a slice of bread, I’ll argue, no I’m not out of touch, everyone else is. When the “serving size” can’t fill the expected use case, it’s not the consumer that’s wrong

Clearly the private ownership is part of this dystopia. Even if we were to place limits or safeguards on this surveillance, it probably won’t apply to purchasing private databases

That really needs to change also. That made sense back when it was just recording something in public that a random officer could have seen, but it’s no longer the same thing. No police force could have such large scale comprehensive surveillance and recording based on what an officer could have seen in public .

The fact that you could even have an officer overstep his authority to stalk someone one nationwide for personal reasons, is not just a failure of privacy safeguards, but proof that large scale surveillance is not the same as “what any random officer could have seen”

There needs to be a threshold, beyond which a warrant is required

Hell there’s room for a huge dystopian movie about this. Start off with mikes and miles of rusted out shut down factories, maybe do like the Star Trek one energy where there used to be a car manufacturer industry long ago and far away…… maybe segue into the endless droid army from “Geonosis” and a shot of gilded age oligarchs laughing while looking down from Elyssium

That’s excellent! Better now than last year when I might have had lingering feelings over cybertruck - just like that first crush you can’t get over no matter how toxic they are

I do for things where I want to be accurate, but sometimes it seems like I’m the only one

On the other hand I advised my teen to buy the wrong battery because I didn’t click into the results for “what battery do i need to replace in my Subaru key?”

People don’t seem to know how to use the overhead bins or take too many carryons. I’ve had to rearrange people’s suitcases for them, or put mine several seats away, or have the flight attendant take mine. It’s really annoying.

There’s also impatience. The later I board the more likely I am to be standing there a long time behind people futzing around taking their time to get situated regardless of how many of us are waiting.

For me it’s the “good service” side of the coin. Actually it’s specifically “more likely to have a direct flight and not find extra fees to pile on”

Currently the price changes by market conditions and timing. So not everyone pays the same.

Thats a different scale than literally everyone paying a different price. It’s also different than applying all the data they’ve collected from and about you to set a price specifically for you to extract the most profit from you

I appreciate the hidden camera adds a new layer but this isn’t anything new. Tik tok exists and behavior like this was already too common.

That being said, I wonder if there’s an answer in lower resolution. Is there a resolution low enough to create some privacy but high enough to be useful for AR? That would also make the glasses cheaper
