As someone who has worked in the service industry, and now frequently dine out, I vehemently dissagree that the prospect of a larger tip does not motivate service industry staff. No matter - do away with tips. I will continue to tip volunta

No idea why this was downvoted - the article explicitly says "Their IRL Glasses, which launched on Kickstarter this week, block the wavelengths of light that comes from LED and LCD screens." This implies wavelength-based vice pola
