Fences is sort of what this is about, I think; Google photographs from a camera which is higher up than the conventional "public view".

This source also has some more technical details, like charging current, how much current the charging station will draw from the grid (20kW), that the charging station has twin batteries with different properties, that car makers need to adopt new battery types for it to work:

No, the resolution isn't the only problem.
One other is saccadic eye movements. Anything shown via these would remain fixed relative to the eye, but as our eyes constantly shift the exact direction we look in, each "pixel" would appear to jump around.
One more is the very small field of view our eyes have sharp vision in. A single projected image (I'm not clear on whether they intend to project the light from each LED to a spot on the retina) would be VERY small. To simulate a larger (7+ characters?) image you'd have to have orientation sensors in the contact lenses (which also would help with the previous paragraph).
I really wonder if they or anyone else have put semitransparent letters or whatever on a contact lens to determine how information dense it really can be as a static display.
If you can falsify any of the theories by experiment, people will pay attention to you, regardless of politics.
I'd like to see you "Design an experiment" that falsifies the global warming hypothesis. Go out an get yourself a model Sun and then figure out how to simulate an experimental and control version of Earth. My understanding is that entropy/chaos and imperfect assumptions in any such model can lead to spectacularly divergent results. So until a realistic Sun/Earth computer model exists, a true "global warming experiment" can't be run.
I'm sorry. I just went to my facebook account and got the popup for the new settings. There were what, 10 settings to choose? Sure the defaults were as open as possible, but is it so f'ing difficult to click 10 times and hit save? And I don't see what they are talking about either. I can still set all my settings to friends only or friends of friends, or everyone. It took me all of 1 minute to answer the pop up questions. Another minute digging into the privacy screens show nothing out of the ordinary.
Amtrak security was even filmed saying filming isn't allowed, when a news crew was interviewing Amtrak's spokesperson, who very clearly was saying there's no policy forbidding filming or taking photographs:
