The only thing keeping my meta account alive is Marketplace. Unfortunately, it’s much busier than Craigslist in my area.

Facebook has become a dirty flea market for me.

You need to look at battery lab research on a 10-20 year time before it gets commercialized at scale.

Moreover, go look at your rechargeable batteries from 10 or 20 years ago. They’re heavier, less energy dense, have shorter lifespans, have much slower charge rates. A lot of those advancement started in a lab and look many years to make it to your laptop or car.

Honestly, I’m all for tech continuing to move to Texas. Want to make Texas blue? Keep sending tech jobs there.

I used to do a lot of research in 3D imaging, and my take is that passive stereoscopic glasses were always destined to fail because they cause eye strain for too many people. And that eye strain is usually caused by the fact that the focal point is fixed, and a lot of eyeballs fight that when they see a three dimensional image. We’re used to being able to shift focus at will with real-world 3D space.

This problem doesn’t impact everyone, and it’s not as bad with immersive experiences that keep items sharp in the foreground and background, or with films that don’t have interesting shit happening the background.

That said, it’s a really old and well documented problem, and I don’t believe we have affordable varifocal viewing solutions on the market yet.
