In my view, to a considerable extent, the work environment created by following Welch's management methods, turned each of us into a dog-eat-dog one-person-band even within the mainstream organization.
It would a) have to be a first-party cover (preferably by Google) b) have some symbols that indicate 'not recording', c) easy to demonstrate to nearby folks what it's function is (i.e., by removing it and putting it back on).
If Google pushed this and marketed it, it'd really take the edge off the privacy concerns about Glass (I'd still not buy one but I wouldn't necessarily force a wearer to put them away before entering my house).
Relying on your userbase to "not be glass holes" is a recipe for backlash, even against those who "use responsibly".
Internet != Real Life. If you operate in Real Life under the assumption that everyone you pass on the street or give money to at the coffee shop is desperate to invade your privacy, you're gonna have a hard time.
But with the tech available today mixed with the behaviors of people online/offline, we can and have been passively invading others (perceived) privacy, even our own.
Please allow me to preface with this: I figure your intent is not to demean the tasks of other professions, and none of what I'm saying is rhetorical.
That said, why not take the job of caring for the elderly relatives? Use it as a way to buy yourself some time while you become a specialist?
(I know a couple of people who have worked as certified nursing assistants for about ten years, among other things, scooping poop. They like excrement about as much as, I presume, most other people in existence; for them, it's a fact of life, though, and they're able to support their family well enough.)
I intended no disrespect. The person who was considering hiring me was the one who used the term. It was a casual discussion. And I will consider caregiver. I do well with older people.
There were two such positions. Both involved relatives of friends. In one case, the family doesn't feel that it's needed yet. In the other, my friend's business has grown more slowly than he'd hoped, so he lacks funds for new expenditures.
Understanding by the greatest possible number of people should be the goal here, in my opinion.
GOAWAY makes plenty sense when compared to GTFO, assuming that not everyone who learns of it intentionally is well-versed in that of which GTFO is a relatively smaller part. Grandma wouldn't necessarily get GTFO (right away, anyway) but she would likely pick up GOAWAY in a snap.
Of course, the above assumes a section of people who are fluent (enough?) in English to grok the spec.
