I managed a team of Google Glass developers - meaning not for Google, but external. Not even they could really find a use for it. And after the first couple of weeks, they wouldn’t even wear it around the office or at their desks.

There are use cases for a HMD but they are very few and far between. Microsoft just axed their division of developers working on their AR division because not even the military, their biggest contract, was finding much use for them.

No one understands qualified immunity and it's hilarious. For example, if a cop did something that is againsts the law, such as an illegal search. And its prooven in a court of law that it was illegal. The victim can then sue the cop personally. Qualified immunity will not protect the cop.

If the cop acted legally, in good faith and did nothing wrong, then they victim can only sue the city due to qualified immunity protecting the cop.

Qualified immunity isnt an absolute shield against any lawsuit. It only covers the cop if they did everything legally.
