Can we use these glasses, or are they just as worthless as Google's and Meta's, where they choose everything for you, and you'll likely get a DMCA complaint if you try to use them for your own purposes?
If not, then $21.95 is about as much as these people should be charging for the product, which is obviously intended to get its revenue through proprietary software/services sales.
It seems you're right - https://www.brown.edu/news/202...
It's not a serious comment. If you look at the highest-rated comments in
My observing this will immediately get this post downrated despite it being a factual observation because on slashdot now:
Post 1: Elon is a stupid poopyhead, +5 Insightful
Post 2: SpaceX has vastly decreased launch costs per kg (fact), Tesla more or less single-handedly made EVs commercially viable, both from their cars and their investment in chargers (fact), -1 troll
This isn't hard to look up: it's about 20% per grok.
Hebrew, wtf are you on?
0.07-0.08% of students speak Hebrew.
Dwarfed by Spanish (75% of ELs)
Arabic 2-2.5%
Chnese 2%
Vietnamese, Portuguese, Russian, Haitian Creole, Hmong, Urdu all also are higher than Hebrew

Elon has personally shit on the "commons" of LEO orbit, it's hypocritical if you are bothered by someone else trashing his already-placed trash satellites.
This is very important. There's a light-year of difference among a typical scholarly article, a physics paper, a math paper, or some kind of incomprehensible humanities bafflegab that no sane person could comprehend. The former, if it's not too technical, should be readable to the average undergrad. The second and third might not be because there are so many specialized concepts and so much specialized language. The latter (and I'm not indicting everything coming out of the humanities, but a lot of it) is incomprehensible because it literally doesn't make sense.
Nice try.
How many American students speak ANY second language?
Hell, how many can speak fundamental English ?
I rather suspect Chicago - where there are many WHOLE schools where NOBODY is reading, writing, or arithmatic'ing at grade level - probably has students who can't speak (nor especially read) english as well as those Japanese students.
Any idea why?
My kid teaches at a rural unified school district. 75% of the kids have whatever the "action" plan folder is called- Jimmy gets scared near windows; Janie can't sit near the door; Mary has trouble concentrating so needs extra time; etc.
About 10-20% of kids in every class have paras, essentially shit-paid workers that shadow billy because he likes to stab other kids when there are scissors.
I'm not kidding about that last; there was one kid who just liked stabing things. With pencils, with scissors, anything with an edge or point, he'd use to stab. Chairs, cushions, other kids. His last para quit because she took her attention off him for a second and he *almost* got her in the eyeball (nasty scar on her cheek tho). So without a para to mind him, the school in desperation made her seat him next to his best friend, the only kid in his class he hasn't tried to stab - I believe the "friends" parents might have objected...had anyone told them.
Are you kidding?
The Bakken Shale produces nearly the lightest sweetest crude there is.
You have it backward - US refineries are built to process shitty Venezuelan and Canadian crude, while ours needs nearly no processing at all.
So you're asserting that the US can't get its oil domestically?
There's no doubt some infringement going on, it's probably legally actionable. I played PA and liked it very much, but ended up at Turtle Wow because it was a little less financially aggressive and just did a better job with the parts I enjoyed.
That said, I'm reasonably sure PA doesn't distribute the 1.12 wow client themselves, so that assertion by Blizzard is narrowly mistaken.
So mmos never would have existed?
Before the inevitable "it's because we don't fund the schools enough" let's keep in mind: the city of Minneapolis as an example of a metro area in a high tax, school-supporting state.

PISA Scores and Approximate Rankings
(Out of ~70+ participating education systems; OECD averages: Math ~490, Science ~493, Reading ~493)
Mathematics:
Japan: 532 (rank ~5thâ"6th)
Germany: 475 (rank ~24thâ"25th)
United States: 470 (rank ~34thâ"40th)
Japan led with a substantial gap (~57â"62 points over Germany/US).
Science (main focus domain in 2015):
Japan: 538 (rank ~2ndâ"3rd)
Germany: 492â"500 (rank ~16thâ"22nd)
United States: 496 (rank ~16thâ"20th)
Japan again dominant; US and Germany closer but below top performers.
Reading:
Japan: 516 (rank ~3rdâ"8th)
Germany: 480â"506 (rank ~16thâ"21st)
United States: 497â"504 (rank ~9thâ"16th)
Japan strong; US slightly ahead of Germany here.
Approximate Combined Average (for illustration):
Japan: ~529
Germany: ~489â"502
United States: ~488â"490
Probably shouldn't even talk about Japanese scores unless we want to humiliate American educators.
Why does it cost 25% more per student to get scores than Germany ?
One of the problems America currently faces, is that we're still getting far too much science done, it's not costing us enough money, and the money it does cost is being wasted on paying the salaries of scientists instead of personally paying whoever contracts to kick back the most to political appointees.
I believe this will help solve all three problems.
Every single day, it seems like the White House does something to keep the ongoing Epstein Obstruction Scandal in the news. It's been the top story for months and every single day there's new news about it.
On Thursday, Todd Blanche, presumably acting under orders, spent all day obstructing the release of the information. And then he did the same thing on Friday. And now there's this UFO story, looking almost custom-made as a silly distraction. Blanche or Trump clearly wants to keep the illegal obstruction on voters' minds, as an evergreen topic so that it never goes away. But why?
What does Trump get by working so hard to persuade every American that he disagrees with a law that he signed, implying that laws is a bad idea and shouldn't be applied or enforced? What advantages are gained by an explicitly pro-crime agenda? What's the advantage of campaigning on releasing the files but then breaking my campaign promise?
I (naively?) think if I were in his position, I would comply with the law so that I don't go to prison for obstruction, and so people wouldn't notice every day that I'm still casually and continuously committing crime. I would let, no make the files come out, so that everyone can see the criminal witnesses confused me with the actual rapist, Biden. That would put me in a position where I'm seen as pro-law instead of anti-law, and it would also put to rest all the speculation that the "Epstein" files are actually mostly about me. Seems like that would be good for everyone, including myself.
So why commit obstruction when the releasing files will exonerate you and make all the problems go away? This strategy doesn't make any sense. What could I possibly be missing?
I feel like there's something incredibly obvious that everyone with a more-than-50 IQ has figured out about the president's lily-white innocence, but somehow I'm just too fucking stupid to figure it out. It's humbling, and makes me question my deeply-held faith in the president's genius.
The universe does not have laws -- it has habits, and habits can be broken.
