    I like the idea of smart classes if they count calories, protein and nutritional value of all the things you put in your mouth.I think that would be helpful for people to not be fat.Assist, or at least to be able to manage being fat a****

      count calories… of all the things you put in your mouth.

      How is that done outside of a lab setting? Do you weigh each entree? What if your entree contains multiple foods of different proportions with different caloric values? I don’t see such calorie counting being accurate enough to be useful.

        One dont eat 19 foods at once, thats why you fat. 2 you should be counting all the kcals and protein of all your foods, until you n have a healthy routine.

        But if you want a quick and dirty just ask chat gpt how much kcals and protein for each food you eat. Describe the foods, Serving size and there you go.

        If you cook your food you know whats in it. If you dont cook it look at the label. If you eat out all the time you are already unhealthy n ducked.

        I could say more, but you can Google it. I’ve done it any time I reach my *time to diet weight. Chefs and weight lifters do this all the time.

      People can also move more and not be as sedentary instead of needing electronic assistants to help them not become fat because they don’t burn the calories by sitting in a couch, an office chair, or in a car.

      I’m a tech enthusiast. I worked in IT. I like computers. But technology and convenience is not always the answer.

        Science shows consistently excercise is healthy but how you loose weight. A healthy weight loss plan is a calorie deficit of 500 calories 6 days a week. You can have one reasonable (eat what you want, but get in plenty of protein) cheat day.

    While Meta built in a small LED light in the front of its glasses to indicate when it’s recording a video, it can easily be covered by a small piece of tape, making it trivially easy to spy on strangers in public without their knowledge or consent. As Daily Dot points out, people are even selling stickers for this specific purpose.

    I was under the impression that covering the LED would prevent the camera function from working. I guess it doesn’t.

        Yeah, but usually you know you’re being recorded because you can see the recording device. I think it’s fair to film in public, but not secretly.

            Why do you care if you have nothing to hide is a weak argument that’s been used to erode our rights. Fuck off.

              Dumb fuck, you dont have a “right” to privacy in public. Also i never said that you fucking moron. Have fun fighting imaginary arguments in an empty room.

                You absolutely do, and even the Supreme Court has sided that you have some expectation of privacy. Blanket “you don’t have a right to privacy” is why I’m calling you a dumbass. The EFF even agrees with me.

                I don’t know what empty rooms you’re in, but I’m not surprised I guess given the kind of creep you are.

                  You should try reading that article yourself, which is about aggregated, long-term tracking (like GPS data or ALPR networks) and persistent surveillance over time, which is very different from the moment-to-moment visibility you have on a train.

                  Damn dude, you look really fucking stupid here, do you want to try again?
