perhaps there will be an uber crash

I don't want to use the tool because I don't want to degrade my enhanced shopping experience. It's just so premium now.

Any custom software installed beyond the OS is circumspect.

Probably best to only buy Windows certified from the Windows store or Apple products these days.

Makes me feel like maybe the premium we pay for Apple hardware/software has some serious value beyond the obvious. Pretty crazy that mainstream brands are shoveling this shit down people's unsuspecting throats and at the same time expecting to build brand value.

ahh...back in the day when "get off my lawn" could be backed up with an aerial barrage.

a worse case scenario of x4 times worse performance...and/or battery life if working on a mobile.

would be nice not to carry paper work, but it's just a card in my wallet, not a big deal. seems like you'd really just hate to live in the USA and everything else follows from that...rather than vice versa.

You don't have to have any paperwork on you in the USA. You can go anywhere without paperwork. But if you are driving, you need proof of the right to drive. Reg number of the car has nothing to do with a license. What if it's not your car? What if it's a rental. Both common situations here in the USA.

Well, looks like you might get charged for not having your license.

I thought you were holding it out for me to take...whoops...I'll bring it back to you in a few minutes.

I have some speakers for one TV and a sound bar for the other, but it's my collection of headphones that are my most used and most loved audio equipment. In this age of iPhones, tablets, and laptops, I wonder how many others feel the same.

Agreed. However, the tech is rapidly maturing. There are several companies that offer 3rd party solutions for autonomous cars (i.e. MobileEye). They don't have to reinvent the wheel. They just need to get in on the ramp up so that when these stuff hits big time in the next 5 yrs they are well positioned to take care of it.

Alternatively, here are some interesting use cases...

1) Mixed fleet of autonomous and driven cars. Autonomy mode is only used to "bring" the car to you, but you must drive it to your destination. Then autonomy mode is used to "bring" the car to the next customer. It's like an instant, on demand, just for as long as you need it, rental car.

2) Limit autonomous rides to major routes along major roadways. These roadways will be well mapped out. Will be under constant surveillance for changes that could affect the autonomy. Possibly will have beacons installed along the way for hyper accurate position triangulation without the phase errors that GPS has.

I'm wondering if this article is a joke. a troll. a nudge towards crazy.

Is open source email management really the next big challenge? If Mozilla targeted that they'd lose their funding in 3, 2, 1...

Thought they'd say something like data privacy, data portability, online anonymity, etc.

They burned a man alive who was sent there to burn them alive. Or explode them. And to do the same to their women and children that were nearby. Almost certainly he had the blood of their people on his hands already. What does this have to do with diplomacy?

Huh? Hope your comment is sarcasm. If not, you might want to do a little common sense 101 research.
