usatoday.com/story/money/2024/02/29/warby-parker-free-solar-eclipse-glasses/72752005007/
Quick Glance: All About Solar Eclipse Glasses Before April 8
- A total solar eclipse will be visible in the U.S. on April 8, 2024, with 31 million people in a narrow strip from Maine to Texas able to see the sun completely covered.
- Specialized solar eclipse glasses are essential to protect the eyes during the eclipse, as looking directly at the sun can cause eye damage.
- There are alternative methods like pinhole projectors or camera obscura to safely observe the event, but regular sunglasses are not sufficient for the eclipse.
- It is advised to be cautious when purchasing solar eclipse glasses as there are counterfeit products, and some sellers may not adhere to safety standards.

- Sam Bankman-Fried received a 25-year prison sentence. Key details from the court hearing in New York were summarized, focusing on his defense lawyer's arguments and the judge's ruling.
- The judge criticized SBF's lack of remorse, noting that he had never expressed a word of regret for committing terrible crimes. Customers who lost money in the collapse reported experiencing nightmares.

- The court hearing also included testimonies from customers who lost significant amounts of money, insights into SBF's background, and the reasons behind the collapse of his company FTX.
