#293Start up idea: Ordinary glass (as in spectacles) frames that have a near IR LED on the bridge and on the side. PWM to be efficient, bright, but erratic clock of around 10Hz. Want a picture of me? Ask, or use film.

Or use those 1550 nm LiDAR lasers that are safe for eyes but burn out cameras pointed at them

Facebook.com, the OG first version, was access limited to certain higher education institutions. Like you couldn't get an account at Facebook in 2005 unless you were were a ... I don't remember ... Harvard student? Regarding nepotism: You know, "oh I remember that guy from my time at Harvard University so let's hire him" .. isn't that nepotism?
Nepotism refers to relatives, not acquaintances.
Fine, cronyism then, if that technicality was the snag.
Zuck was very well connected in the academic, legal, tech and finance industry, that's how he got away with theft and got VC money thrown at his company and not other companies doing the same thing.

It will randomly turn the TV on/off and switch the channels as a funny bonus. Cool idea nontheless
A capacitive switch is free.

Like the poster, I'm faceblind. It isn't the worst thing: I'm not voice blind, height blind, age blind, hairstyle blind, gender blind, features associated with race and ethnicity blind, attractiveness blind, affect blind, context blind, etc., so I'm mostly good at figuring out who someone is. Within one encounter with a bunch of people, I try to note what someone is wearing. Every once in a while I don't recognize so…
This is fascinating. So you know that you've met someone before. You know things about them. But you don't recognize them? What does this mean? You don't remember their name? You don't know why or how you know them?
That I don't know if they're a stranger or not. I introduce myself to acquaintances fairly regularly (sometimes annoying them that I apparently think they're so unmemorable) because I'm the opposite of 'I never forget a face'.
I think normal people are more likely to have the experience where they can't remember a name and why/how/where they know someone from. I of course forget things like anyone, but that's unrelated.

Buy a proper camera. Your memories will be a lot higher quality and you'll go from creepy guy uploading toddler footage for Zuck to watch to someone who loves their kid enough to run a real camera.
This is screaming and downvoting into a void. Parents have enough to carry around just because you don’t like a feature that is default off unless you ask for cloud analysis. I don’t care what happens to Zuck, cancel him to all hell for all I care but maybe be a little more curious about why people use the tech they do past “people are stupid”.
I'm a parent of two, one of whom is a baby. I rock a Sony zv-e10ii.
Image quality is real. That glasses camera is teeny tiny. At the most basic layer, it's going to look like a bad camera from decades ago by the time your kids are old enough to want to see those photos.
Meta sells that device to generate data and profit from "services". Zuck said so directly in an earnings call: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/zuckerberg-explained-ai-glass...
You are the frog being boiled. Your glasses are the pot.

Fine in the crib, out in the open at a critical moment when your kid runs into your arms, screw image quality, you want that moment captured and with active kids there's about 2-3 of these moments every day. "the best camera is the one you have with you".
If I don't like something about my hot frog pot, I'll just switch to the Apple glasses when they come out [1] ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . Zuck doesn't have much room to maneuver without shooting himself in the foot.
My larger point stands, not all who wear cameras deserve to be maligned.
