Your price point for the used glasses is quite lucky to just play around with it or using it sometimes.

They cost 800 new :|

1080p is that really okay?

They are $299 on sale on the vendor website right now. I won't link because I don't want to promote them necessarily, but I think you must have seen a different vendor or something?

I also paid less than $300. OP must be referring to a different model.

Looks like they’re weirdly expensive through the EU store. Just navigate from xreal.com - I see them for $US 299

Have you looked on Amazon? I got the One (not pro) for less than £500.

I don't think at all he is a greedy asshole. He did more good than anywone else on the planet at this point.

Alone his money and the pledge he pused is breathaking.

Why would you say he is a greedy asshole while he spends all his money to help humans?

Trump is greedy. Musk thinks probably he is good but is greedy as f and wants to go to mars because he thinks earth cant be saved anymore. But Gates?

Interesting. I would not have thought, that on hn a normal discussion with arguments and sources is not possible. But hey you seem to pref to comment for the comment sake not for discussion.

I find your picture of a god as you describe it, as something i would not want to have.

This interpretation sounds like a great excuse to stop helping others and spending your time behind a computer instead of actually being out there and helping.

If you would really believe, do you think Jesus would sit at home and comment instead of helping others?

And lets talk about helping. Who needs help? Your neighbour who has food, electricity, heating or a human child somewere else dying because of food? The same food which you probably throw away every day?

Nonetheless, while we are at it: What is your excuse that you believe in a god who is almighty but creates humas who then starve? Doesn't that sound more like a shitty god? Or if we play devils advocate: The Devil does the killing and god would actually like to see you and everyone else to help that human?

Sooo you use a christian word to describe your strategy?

Fine but do you know what it actually means to be poor? Its not the american neighbour who has a house, heat, electricity and food who can't afford a holiday.

Its the human beings living day by day trying to feed themselves.

Or are you from a super crazy poor country? Might be, but you have clearly internet (which means, access to knowledge, and richnes in comparision to the kid dying of hunger somewere else)

And now lets really talk about your "Ordo Amoris": If you do live in the USA, do you actually understand HOW MUCH everyone of us destroys countries around the globe? Climate Change? Resource Import? Cheap Labor?

We are all rich because WE exploit every other country around us in way or the other. The least thing we can do, is helping. And theglobal agreement to actually help is just a drop on a hot stone. Even that gets critizied.

Do you just use this ordo amoris because you are a christian? If so, i don't think you will go to heaven with your live philosophy.

So you appreachiate that the Bill Gates Foundation takes the time and energy / Resources to figure out whom to give money for the best impact, but you don't suggest others to give an organization, which actually takes the time and effort to figoure out how to spend money properly?

I find this dishonest.

And i find your point regarding 'fancy dinners' weird. You do know why they might spend money on this right? For doing lobbying which leads to real impact. Your 'fancy dinner' might be the difference between a political decision in favour for the right thing vs. some other company lobbying for the opposition.

I don't think you understand really how thngs work if you believe, giving something like the Red Cross Billions would just work.

Just googling it delivers enough critisism on worst level than you think Bill Gates Foundation is: "misusing funds, poor logistical planning, inadequate responses to specific crises, and even allegations of fraud and theft. "

Impact matters. Impact doesn't mean to just give money to some organization. Bill Gates actually played a significant role in Ebola vacination. Why? Because he/his team revisted why just giving out vacines was not enough.

Impact means helping as efficient as possible with the money.

And btw. a lot of other charities of this style (especially christians ones we all know) have also borderline ways of missusing believers to do their work. My aunt worked for nuns and got paid shit. This is now a problem for her retirment. Guess who pays that? Yeah the state...
