Comment Re:Cutting Costs Now and Forever (Score 1) 95

Even so the prices are excessive. If I want to upgrade the SSD in the current MBP from 512 GB to 2 TB that's +750 â

Meanwhile, a Western Digital Red SN700 with 2 TB I can get for a bit over 200 â.
A Samsung 990 PRO 2 - 245 â (was just rated the best M.2 SSD on the market by Tom's Hardware).

Whatever exact chips Apple is using, they're not 3x as expensive as other high-quality SSDs.

Even if "locked in place" is your underlying assumption, anyone who's even heard of the real world from their mom who has a friend whose father once visited it should know that there is no rule without exceptions and even if that is perfectly true, a small number of those particles will not be locked in perfectly.

Also, the drug can cause tiredness which is evidenced by the inability to stay awake during the day.

Then everyone will start using it as an excuse to attack other people. Especially the cops - they hate being filmed. They will claim it was "aggressive" and justified violence.

A guy called Graham Linehan was just convicted of smashing a girl's phone, when she filled an interaction where she asked him why he called her a "groomer" on twitter, and worse. It was the right judgement, he had no need to do it, and mere annoyance can't be enough or everyone will be smashing stuff they dislike.

It's been done before, taking pictures on the subway, and those were done by photographers or people trying to get into photography. Such pictures are easily found by doing a simple search.

It's about perception. When someone is wearing these glasses they are looking at you with their eyes. When someone is taking a photograph, the camera is between you and them. It's obvious what the person is doing.

Comment History repeating itself: Google Glass (Score 1) 100

Didn't all of these problems come up with Google Glass over ten years ago? In fact the term "Google Glasshole" was coined for people using Google Glass to record people who didn't want to be recorded. While it is legal to film in public, they did not seem to understand why people did not like it. This user seems to fit that mold.
