You would think so, but my company (and others) have tried, but no one wants to pay anything reasonable for such a service (with a hardware device). Also, there's an ersatz, by using your phone with facetime. The experience was pretty good (better than zoom for video stuff).
I worked at a Glass startup for a while. Explorer Glass was really underpowered. Then Enterprise 1.0 was released, but still ran an old Glass OS (Android 4.4) and overheated (among other issues). The latest Enterprise 2.0 is really pretty good. But, there is/was no killer app. We tried remote support or medical applications, but few were really interested despite the seeming need for these types of products.
(note: I also worked with ODG, Vuzix and RealWear and demoed the Toshiba product)
Network effect, and Google's Ad Monopoly account for 99.9% of the dominance of YouTube. Only Facebook could launch a competing product (maybe Twitter). It would take millions (or Billions) to build a platform just to end up like one of the many competitors (Vimeo). There will be something that kills YouTube, but it will look different (or work differently).
"Name literally one concrete example of a concrete and specific problem better solved by crypto than a classical solution"
Okay it cost hundreds of dollars to send money to my family as part of an estate close. It also took a week to get all the transactions completed. This would have been a few minutes and a few dollars with crypto.
You could replace Crypto with Gold to see your arguments make no sense. Including the energy required to mine. Also many cryptos aren't unlimited (like Ethereum).
Sorry, a vaccine that still allows infection at a significant rate will continue to foster evolution. It may slow the process, but not change the result. There’s just no way the current vaccines stop this.
The strong anti-natalism doesn't surprise me. There's a lot of millennials and younger on HN. I wonder how much of that is just a cover for their pessimism about being as economically successful as their parents? There are structural disadvantages facing the youth today and not having children is a way of avoiding a rigged game. There's also the guilt about raising children at a lower socioeconomic status than they had. Just a thought...
it's not ego. It's the drive of your genes to get into the future. Helping someone else's genes (that have some overlap with yours) is also adaptive, but not as much as people more closely related to you.
Really meaningless study. The question is, who created the woke (far left) agenda? It is the college educated who manufacture the ideologies for both sides. So it comes from higher ed, there's really no denying that fact. Once the ideas are created they are then spread via media (MSM and Twitter) and schools of education. In the public sphere, they are taken up by all who are inclined to believe the message. It's not like college is a barrier to being exposed to woke messaging.
Real-time gross settlement is the instant way of transferring money between banks. Try and send $100K to someone and getting it done same day. Most people don't have access to that system.

All traditional methods use gatekeepers that control the flow of money. If you can't do what you want with your money is it really yours? The Trustless nature of BTC involves a seeming waste of energy, but you get a lot in return (like ownership of your money).
It’s a proxy for adaptive success. He accumulated lots of resources so we pay attention and emulate him because his strategy has paid off. Not saying it makes sense in a modern context.
I don't see anyone calling BS on this, so I will point out the conflict of interest. This is a startup claiming their solution is better than anything you've seen before using in-house 'research'.
FTA:
A new study by Wang... The cathodes were made using a patented recycling technique that Battery Resourcers, a startup Wang co-founded, is now commercializing.
There were a number of people that could have stopped the war. George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Saddam Hussein to name a few. Powell played a large role to be sure, but imagine Condi Rice in that role. It would have been a harder sell, but given the drum beat it would have happened. Even if Powell resigned, the spin would have labeled him a political hack or out-of-touch with the situation.
Good list, Caspar Weinberger stands out as a Washington insider, the exact type that are in the wink wink nudge nudge club. Holdeman, was too toxic to protect.
I think that resources in stable system (for example peacetime) tend to be increasingly horded by successful competitors. When rent seeking from those at the top becomes too expensive there is sometimes a reset that is usually violent. Sometimes the reset (war or plague for example) can be from external sources, but is still violent.
This is embarrassing, so lets pretend it's a crime for the reporter to report the truth. This tactic might work for the NSA, but I hope it doesn't work here.
The answer is probably "more gifted programs in low-income neighborhoods". This is of course racist against Asians (they are lumped in with white when it's convenient). They make up 43% of these schools, so whites, and POCs are underrepresented. Why are Asians doing better? Are they more intelligent, work harder, value education? Let's pretend there is no problem by just eliminating the schools. Of course, there are problems with gifted programs, but assuming that factory education will maximize all the students potential is obviously wrong. This is a pollical maneuver designed t placate a segment of voters. We need every smart mind being educated properly regardless of the circumstances of birth.
And yet the Authors of this letter fail to address the most cited meta-analyses (by Dr Lawrie). She's publicly stated the removing the Elgazzar data did effect her numbers, but not the conclusion. Also, if you read the paper she downgrades the Niaee data for several potential biases.
Accept the CDCs own study of 169 K–5 schools failed to find that masks for children in schools prevent the spread. Adult masks and ventilation were supported.
"The 21% lower incidence in schools that required mask use among students was not statistically significant compared with schools where mask use was optional."
