How to make Specs mainstream (and fix the ugly)

Almost every tech reviewer and the public is calling it ugly. I agree and here's your problem - the arm that sits behind the ear is too big. It screams glasshole and it doesn't make me comfortable wearing in public. Fix this and the Specs actually looks chic to wear everywhere.

There, I fixed your $3B problem.

UPDATE:
I don't understand the downvotes and why folks are getting triggered. I understand the technology it packs and there's a lot of trade-offs that the team must have made.

This is constructive feedback. I'd love to see this device succeed as a mainstream device that I can wear everywhere and not a session based gadget I wear at home.

Help me put an investor's mind at ease with technical and business risks

I'm an investor with a decent chunk of my portfolio invested in HOVR and somewhat new to pre-revenue companies

Technical risk

Is there a significant risk in building an aircraft with fan-in-wings desing? I have no idea what an aircraft wing looks like inside but if it has a bunch of holes cut out with non-structural elements like fans placed in them, would it not simply snap? Is this idea too outlandish?

Business/investment risk

How do valuations work with such companies? When do such companies typically generate revenue? Do companies sign up only after certification which is expected in 2030s or is a working full-scale model enough? I'm worried if I invested too early

TCA 30% cross update 2 - 23 days later

Details are in an earlier thread
https://www.reddit.com/r/AcneScars/comments/1ubjccl/tca_30_cross_after_12_days/
TCA 30% cross using cotton tipped toothpick + TCA 15% 2x

Second picture is contrast enhanced. Two scars next to the ear weren't touched as I forgot.

Noticeable changes

PIH has reduced
Scars look shallow
Scars haven't widened. This was my biggest worry

Learnt a lot from this community (see my original thread for the posts that helped me a lot) and just wanted to share my experience before trying another round with slightly stronger acid - TCA 50% cross for deeper scars + TCA 30% cross over rest + 20% peel

UPDATEs that mods requested:
Scars are 5-15 years old

TCA 30% Cross after 12 days

At home 30% cross with cotton tipped toothpick and 15% peel rest of the face. The scars that were the darkest during peeling/crusting improved the most. Downtime was 8 days which sucks. The two gigantic scars near the sideburn weren't crossed as I forgot.

Cotton tipped toothpick is not forgiving as it left pea sized crust. I was lucky it was only 30% which is somewhere between peel and a cross. FP type 4-5. Pleasantly surprised it didn't result in any pigmentation issues.

Apart from downtime, I am happy with the result.

The second picture is contrast enhanced.

DuckDuckGo installs are up 30% as users reject being ‘force-fed’ Google’s AI Search

Reddit stock has pulled back by recent Google AI search announcement. What do you think of this article?

My personal opinion is DuckDuckGo is too small to prop up the stock but there is clearly a backlash to AI being shoved in search and Google may change.

Surge in "reddit" keyword search in Google trends starting April

I couldn't figure out why there is a surge in first week of April. Apparently people were looking up Reddit a lot. When I mean lot, it's the most interest it has ever generated. What caused the spike? Now can we move the stock price like this?

Coincidentally "reddit app" also has a spike around the same time.
