Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Ugh, this company is totally fucking creepy! If only there were a way to disrupt these glasses using readily available electronics...
I just bought new glasses and got an IR-blocking lens coating that's supposed to thwart facial recognition from things like these and Flock cameras and whatnot. It's not active disruption via electronics, but it is a countermeasure...
They also make hats with IR LEDs that blind the cameras.
Countermeasures are good, despite them not being active...It's important to disrupt these terrible techs whenever possible!
There's an Android app that will constantly scan for their Bluetooth signature in the background and alert you.
I have this app. I work with a douche who wears these (despite then being banned), and this app didn't pick them up.
That must be a huge battery killer.
Nah, if you have Bluetooth on your phone is already doing it.
Basically this. The polling rate and client interrogation behavior can often be pushed to a far more aggressive stance than the usual defaults, but only in foreground mode on most mobile OSes.
I have it installed on mine & haven't noticed any difference.
