Well, that's not what he was trying to say, but it is indeed what he should have said.

Perhaps this wouldn't have come about had their not been such wholesale abuses of privacy by such governmental agencies?

I don't know how NYC's is right now, but the doubling of bike stations seems like a huge deal to me. When briefly visiting Montreal, the complete ubiquity of bike stations (at least where I wanted to go) made it super easy to use. In contrast, DC's was reasonably good but the relative dearth of stations made it much…

I often feel swaying at just 50 floors up, so I'd imagine I'd find that quite unsettling!

Well yeah, which we expected in that video! ;)

Imma be a pedant here, but the article doesn't explicitly say whether or not the injured passengers had their seatbelts off.

No, in the case you described, you would be completely capable of swerving out of the way. There's a very low likelihood of a roll-over in that case. Where you would run into trouble is when you attempted to swerve back into your lane. If you do that too aggressively, you'll roll over. At that point, the car says…

Once the car got the input to cut back again, the options were either a) listen to the driver and roll over, or b) ignore the driver and not roll over.

I'd much rather have a keypad too, because quite honestly "clicking a link and installing an app" doesn't sound easier to me than typing in a code for temporary access. It also assumes that whoever is accessing your house has a smartphone, and has that phone on them. The bluetooth lock/unlock is nice for residents,…

I would love the speed limit sign reading in certain other states- in my state 15-20 over is standard fare, but in some others I go to, 2 or 3 mph over will get you pulled over and it changes constantly.

A policy can be very clear but still be ridiculous.

Does that polite business traveler have 12.5 million followers?

You're not being a pedant at all... Those folks were people too.

So do you think that all people in denser areas are bastions of tolerance? Or perhaps when you have almost everyone tweeting, the people who use social media as a means to spout their hate get drowned out by the vast majority of mostly unprejudiced people?

Gizmodo has shown such maps that are essentially population maps many many times before. At least this one is normalized by number of tweets,but as you said it's hard to have hateful tweets with no tweets at all.

We're all NIMBY's once it actually is your back yard.

Unless your insurer increases your premium because you use this, the cost of life insurance doesn't matter.

Do they have a revenue stream? How will they keep the site running as their infrastructure demands increase?

You can't take it with you! (The cash, or the car).

I never said depletes, I simply said "more." Say you half a million just sitting in the bank, 25k is still 5% of that. I know that I will never reach the point where the price of a new car is a trivial sum to me, so it's worth considering these sort of things.
