While I agree that modern society requires significant energy inputs, there is a middle ground. For instance, if cities or the suburbs were more pedestrian friendly, walking, cycling, etc. would be a viable option meaning less use of fossil fuels by driving.
A use case for glasses like these with the heads up display would be while riding a TT bike in the aero position. The bars are not conducive to mounting a bike computer and it is a regular occurrence for it to fall off during a triathlon. With these glasses though you could just put the computer in your shirt pocket or wherever and not have to look down.
> Every business, from tiny boutiques to online giants like Amazon, tell you exactly how much each of their items costs. Why shouldn't it be the same when we're shopping for a job?
This is the opposite to how a job should be thought about. Shopping for a job seems to imply a business already owns my time, skills, etc. when they are really the ones searching. And transparency would further exacerbate that idea, as the job candidate is now bounded without even being able to show what they are capable of.
On the flip side, my employer is fully transparent about salaries from the c-suite all the way down and nobody seems to mind.
I recently watched a documentary that showed how they create these nature scenes. Especially for insects and small animals, it is not nature rather a professionally created set in a controlled environment.
I don’t think it would be fair to ban all motorbikes. It’s only certain types bikes, generally choppers (e.g. Harley Davidsons), crotch rockets and dirt bikes that are loud. Most of the other types are fairly quiet. Although the type of bike probably matters much less than who owns it—-I had a crotch rocket for a while and you couldn’t even hear it a block away.

Is anybody aware of the source of this quote? I hear it quite often but have never seen the evidence to support it. I am starting to think that it might just be convenient to throw into an argument about technology.
