    “Most people seem to have no idea he’s wearing anything other than normal eyeglasses.”

    Which will apply to him and the other 7 million and rising wearers of Meta Ray-Bans

                @urlyman But that wouldn't hurt as much physically. We need them to learn in a pavlovian way, reasoning won't work.

                  @urlyman
                  spanners may be used to hit people on the head.
                  But if your wheel needs changing you'd regret the weapon being banned.

                  People commit assaults, other indiscretions, torts, crimes.
                  Machines, as yet, do not.

                  My daughter's use case - steady recording ahead from atop a horse - seems rather a good one.

                  Possibly the frames should be orange stripes or some such.

                    @urlyman (not very different from a GoPro on one's cycling helmet, actually. And on that, I don't really like hard objects on protective hats, which can be force concentrators. Burying it in the shell could be safer.)

                      @Photo55 technology is not neutral, it is deterministic. That some people put extremely dangerous ideas to good use does not change the overall determinism

                              @urlyman a vendor at a cooperative mall was evicted because he refused to stop wearing his. He was creeping other vendors out by photographing them without consent and talking about how he was trying to cover the video recording light. I can only imagine how customers felt when he focused on them and touched his glasses.

                              He and a bunch of his (old, Republican-voting) buddies tried to bury the mall with one-star reviews, all complaining that the management were "against new technology and progress".

                                @urlyman it does not. You may consider it as a line of progression, but it is not an identity.
                                Also, assault is assault. Taking photographs or movies may be an invasion of privacy, can be ill-mannered, might be a tort, could be part of a crime.
                                But is not assault. That's a well-understood word which has particular careful usage which needs preserving.

                                  @Photo55 my post is a polemic, a metaphor. I make no apology for it.

                                  I also tend to think that Go-Pros on cycle helmets are a bad idea

                                    @AbramKedge @urlyman Reminds me that Pelicot in France was first investigated for his crimes after getting caught trying to take pictures up women's skirts at the mall. That led to the discovery of his much larger crimes. Wonder what else that guy at your mall was up to.

                                      I don't know anyone who has these, I never see anyone using them.

                                      Who is buying them and where are they going?

                                        Nice idea, although maybe it should be a dunce hat 😄

                                        Hat from 1978, Radio Shack catalog number 60-3005

                                        Waybacked (because this slop.txt website is blocking with clownflare):

                                        Great story, including what looks like a real comment from the author's Mom:
                                        https://dfarq.homeip.net/radio-shack-fire-chiefs-helmet/
                                        "I don’t remember who got the helmet for me, but I got it for Christmas. From what I understand, it was a popular passive-aggressive gift to give to the kids of someone you were mad at. Maybe that’s how I got mine."
