I want to get the Oakley Meta ones so I can record bike rides easier, should I not be tolerated?

Wear a GoPro on your helmet like the rest so you can be shunned.

If you insist on the glasses, wear a fake GoPro.


A mostly-solitary sporting event (or one where you know all the other participants and can get their consent to record beforehand) seems like a reasonable use of these sorts of glasses. I wouldn’t personally give consent just as a sort of privacy reflex, but it really depends on your social circle.

How is a GoPro better than wearing these glasses while cycling?

People recognize GoPro cameras for what they are. They are easily understood as a camera. Glasshole devices are not as easily recognizable and people honestly may not realize they are being recorded especially when the glasshole does not inform everyone they are being recorded.

Now, for your "while cycling" qualifier, why does it matter? Again, if you stop to talk to people while recording and it is not obvious you are recording, you're a glasshole. Personally, I have no experience with camera quality from the devices, but I do know what a GoPro can do. My gut instinct is that the GoPro will be superior footage.


I have a go pro but it's a bit of hassle to setup, I tried a chest mount and the angle wasn't great and I think the eye level view would look better. Also more convenient to record on glasses which I'll have to wear anyways.

Yes, I could record while talking to people but I wouldn't get the point of that, I want to record descents and pretty views.

My main point is someone owning smart glasses doesn't mean they automatically suck and should be ostracized.


But you are cycling. Who cares if people know you have a camera or not. Meta glasses are one less thing, whereas a gopro is a second thing.

Pretty rare to stop to talk to people while cycling.


It's a big obvious doofus camera vs a tiny spy camera, pretty simple!

No. Fuck off

This started as a joke idea I had but I've had a lot of fun making this and I got some of my friends to sign-up, adds another reason for me to ride my bike.

I am working on gamifying strava activities with a game called Hog Crankers. They are little hogs that turn a crank and right now it syncs to your strava and generates a certain amount of hogs per 5 miles of activity.

I got it approved by Strava so i can have up to 1000 athletes login, been making some small UI changes and next need to tweak the economics. I plan on making it kind of like a base building type of game.

I think it was iOS 9 that had some glitch where the animations were completely disabled and it was a really awesome experience to click an app and have it instantly open with zero animations.


I used to feel this way until I discovered cycling, I started running because I don't want to bike in NYC winter weather. Highly recommending trying cycling since you get to make it as hard as you want and it builds amazing cardio


Yeah, during covid and little bit after I was in amazing shape because I was able to go on nice long bike rides a few times a week. It got me thinking what would our society feel like if everyone was able to exercise?


When I was young we had golden retriever and the first time he saw my neighbors pool he dove in immediately and started swimming. He wasn't a complete puppy so maybe he was more confident in his ability.


Google got hacked back in 2010, lookup Operation Aurora. It wasn't a full own, but it shows that even the big guys can get hacked.


I wish Apple would skip yearly macOS releases, there is no need.


Or alternate feature releases with bug fix releases. I'd love to see a "Snow Leopard" every other year.


Why do you need a blockchain for this? What benefit does it bring here?


Stripe can siphon some of that delicious crypto revenue.


I don't necessarily blame people for using AI to help them write or spruce something up, however I find the tone particularly off-putting.

These excerpts show off that "AI"-tone I'm sure most people see.
