glasses

This is typical "old boy's club" shit, just with hipster glasses and organic carrots.

I think this is an example of seeing the past through rose-coloured glasses. Yes there was Flickr but you could discover photos.

The man must certainly own a pair of regular prescription glasses and was being extremely naive.

Our users are true evangelistswearing our gear, drinking from our shot glasses, and shouting cheers to our name&;&." The rest was equally as vague and platitude-filled.

When the man with glasses gives his perspective, the enablement hits you. If you've any humanity, you feel the potential this technology brings to so many.

Sorry, but I can't help but feel you're looking at the industry through rose-tinted glasses. There were hundreds upon hundreds of games for NES/Gameboy/DOS/PS that absolutely stunk.

As a final note, this ServerDensity guy is clearly looking at the world through mongo-colored glasses. It makes sense I suppose since he is all-in with MongoDB for his company.

I used to keep an old pair of reading glasses around to "filter" my screen. These days, with largers monitors, I use a 24 inch, at an appropriate distance, I don't need any filtering than my own aging eyes.

Yeah, Reader held back the development of the robot car, glasses, floating balloon internet and the brazilian social site...

Putting this kind of branding on Microsoft is like putting the geeky kid with oversized glasses and suspenders a new wardrobe. Sure, the kid will look cooler, but it won't stop him from playing Magic: The Gathering in their basement.

I also have the considerably more expensive glasses from lowbluelights. com. In my experience, the inexpensive goggles work just as well, although the more expensive glasses filter more blue light.

These glasses provide them with visual cues base upon their location, so when they finally do get to the theater, the glasses can show them what to do next, and give them that visual cue. Currently working on an app for tablets for this sort of things, but having it work in glasses would be simply amazing.

No matter how many rose-tinted pairs of glasses you put on, it's still the piss-filled, shit-littered, gun-happy, knife-stabby, gangbanger-filled shitpot we know and love.

Anyone who has every learned a musical instrument and doesn't look back on it with rose-colored glasses can attest to the mechanistic heartlessness of the piano or the guitar. Drawing is merely the act of building a motor skill.

A lot of people are sloppy readers and putting in that level of detail is like putting fine detail in your painting for a farsighted person without their glasses. I've come to view this sort of misunderstanding as an unavoidable tax for trying to communicate with humans.

I chewed my 20-year-old girlfriend out for not keeping the wine glasses of my guests topped off during dinner at her end of the table. She’s attracted to my status and confidence, but she doesn’t really understand my mentality, especially since it is essentially alien to her culture.

I imagine a not too far off future where your glasses tell you your schedule, where haptic and audio feedback are constantly feeding you a stream of your important information; Where even moreso than today, your personal data network is you. There's a chapter in Accellerando ^1 where Manfred's glasses are stolen, and the thug who steals them becomes Manfred by simple virtue of putting them on and being overwhelmed by the signals.

Something like a 60" 4K curved LCD with lightboost allowing shutter glasses to be "open" more than 90% of the time, and thus not darken your vision or obscure eye contact is where I think the sweet spot will be for a while for having a serious workspace/playspace, when combined with accurate low latency headtracking. Panels fast enough for lightboost currently have bad viewing angles, but if you are tracking the users head you can just correct a lot of it with a simple shader.

As I see it here, the more and more "transparent" our private lives become with cell phone cameras and always-on video glasses, the more protection employees need from bone-headed employers dismissing them for reasons wholly unrelated to their competencies performing the job they were hired to do.

No mobile, no Google glasses, no new computer game, no crafty actionable patio11 strategy, no raspberry pi hack, no programming language hack, no excellent presentation, no struggling story of success, no rejection and comeback, no scaling of servers, no clever command lines, no new SSH shell, no browser plugin, no investment philosophy, just "I love my business". 75% of their posts are simply not HN-worthy and there isn't a voting ring but there is probably a bunch of social contacts who are up voting this.

I wore thick-rim glasses because 1. I didn't/couldn't care about fashion 2. my parents didn't have the money for nicer frames and 3. I actually could not see without glasses. So yeah, when I see thick rim glasses being worn _because_ they "look geeky," or worse, without even any lenses because the person has perfect vision, it annoys me a little bit.
