Actually baby carriages aren't that popular in America anymore. I remember growing up in the fifties and sixties you saw them everywhere. Nowadays kids are either strapped to an adult or a car seat.
USA's birth rate is 1.6 versus Poland's 1.1 when both need to be 2.1 to maintain the population. What I do not know is if the large number of Polish men who left the country for employment are somewhat affecting that number.
Only if you have batteries in between because the sun isn’t shining 24/7 in Germany (and elsewhere).
The costs for batteries are as nearly always out of the debate when news papers/portals are glorifying this German balcony subsidy scheme (costs for the public due to power feed-in which isn’t mentioned at all in this article). In the grist article the battery issue is mentioned only in one sentence.
The power feed-in is from the perspective of the power grid operator company sometimes called as power backfeed secretly which needs extra infrastructure.
Thinking about it abstractly like "people don't want headwear displays" ignores that people don't know what smart glasses are or what they would offer them and it's difficult to convey their value without a product that can fully deliver on all the promises.
I'm not sure what degree of sophistication they have to hit for people to catch on, my hunch is it needs to use transparent lenses with at least 90 degrees FOV of display, full 6DOF tracking, eye tracking and hand tracking. Vision Pro's performance capabilities are overkill, but something with it's user experience in a pair of lightweight glasses,even if it's mostly floating virtual windows and environmental overlays with simple graphics, would be self evidently useful to anyone who would try them for a few minutes.
None of the products released thus far have hit the mark, though.
No, that's something from the bubble you're in. Most people don't care about privacy (which is not to say that I don't or that it's not important). Mass video surveillance by the state is creepy, but CCTV is everywhere. Everyone carries around a tracking device in their pocket, whenever a phone is in someone's hands it could be recording. The fears you have are already realized and people have shrugged their shoulders.
That's not to say that some changes etiquette won't develop, but think about it this way: no one asks someone else to put their phone away in private residences during conversations because it has a camera on it, but they might because they want the other person's full attention.
Wouldn’t the personal trainer be questioning his own relevance to your agreement if you were performing your push-ups correctly right from the start?
After all, as soon as he points out something you can improve on and tells you how to do it better, you receive positive feedback from him and the reassurance that you didn’t hire him for nothing.
And regarding push-ups themselves: isn’t it rather one-sided to train only those limited muscle groups with such a high number of repetitions, to the point that it leads to anatomical imbalances?
