After having cycled on Northern Irish roads for years I have to say it’s not just because of cars (although car drivers really are some of the most entitled I’ve encountered in Europe). The state of roads and decisions around where to place bike lanes are utterly insane nevermind the lack of cycle lanes.
My conspiracy theory is that the isreali’s have really bad compromat (or can easily get it) about anyone and everyone so even if you were in favour of stopping support for isreal before you take a position in some government, as soon as you’re in they flip you.
You could use some Irish English, then you could be saying “Themmuns are called Trevor” that way there’s zero ambiguity
Yeah, I also try a lot to break the stigma. But I think a lot of people are ingrained in their ways and tradition and it takes more time or effort to see past it. It would also help to get a type of Shazam for the tune that’s playing to know what sheets to play too.
In any case, fair play to you for recognising there are some uses that could enable people.
I think the number of comments below you show the uses of glasses like that. I really think they would a lot of people who are disabled etc. For me they would really help me with some of my memory issues, especially since i’m looking to have a career in a genre of music where’s it’s frowned upon to have sheet notes
It’s funny, I would love to some have the novel tech they developed (HUD / display built into glasses since I’m wearing them anyways). The problem, as usual, is corps taking the piss with prices and profit then spying on you and everyone around you non-stop anyways…
I would 100% be open to some HUD glasses delivered with a FOSS OS that works completely offline and/or via your phone (but still offline). But that’s seriously wishful thinking given our corporate and political overlords
Here’s a paper about testing einstein’s theory:
https://arxiv.org/pdf/0806.1731
It is an older paper, but aftet a skim the only significant missing experiment is LIGO. At the scales which GR is fundamentally concerned we simply do not have sufficient data or technology to test.
If we had tested everything that could be for GR or it had no contraditions we wouldn’t be creating modified theories of gravity or proposing new constants to try solve things, or trying to come up with some quantum theory of gravity.
Hartle has a very simple way of viewing this, see photo from his textbook “Introduction to General Relativity”
One thing to remember is that GR is still just a theory with a substantial lack of experimental proof, but the maths does work out quite well with it.
Same here, definitely a decent choice given how much I use and what I use my phone for
