"Unfortunately "lives saved" is not a measurable statistic" Um, yes it is! You can measure the number of deaths per distance traveled. If the number of deaths is less than average over the same distance when travelling on autopilot, the you can say that more lives have been saved.
Night I got my iPhone 7 while in bed with light off, the wife pondered to me if it was gonna rain tomorrow. "Hey Siri, is it going to rain tomorrow?". Worked a treat. Was pretty geek-cool. Had to laugh.
Yeah, that is quick, Interesting. I've often found responsiveness slower in US, e.g. bringing up a google map. Just went to fast.com on my phone, pulled 86Mbps at my desk (saw it spike to 94). I don't have any propane tanks to climb on I'm afraid. Wonder if it's a case of responsiveness rather than throughput? 45Mbs is perfectly fine. Probably depends on how densely populated the area you're in is as well. I'm in Auckland, but not the CBD. I'll be back in the states in a couple of weeks (Virginia then Oklahoma), I'll have to compare speeds when I'm back on my new phone if I remember...
I'm in NZ and we have lightning fast 4G speeds. Some of the fastest in the world. This is because we don't have unlimited phone data caps. It only takes a few people to take advantage of unlimited to ruin it for everyone. It's easy to get a plan that provides you with enough data. Personally, when I'm out and about, I want my data arriving to my phone (or laptop tethered to it) as fast as possible, I don't need massive amounts over my phone.
You know what I also hate? People who use the word "fag" a lot to try and cover up their own homosexual tendencies. Just come out of the closet already.
You know what I hate? Useless fuks (who would run crying to mummy if they saw what those firemen saw) commenting on fire fighters from their armchair without knowing all the facts and having no real idea what unfolded or why.
How on earth is Hillary going to take all the guns when Obama is going to take all the guns? Don't forget that Hillary will set the US army to invade Texas (using Texas soldiers no less), or did Obama do that already as well? So hard to keep track of all the whackjob conspiracies.
Yeah, it's not as if we're discovering anything new anymore! Why on earth are people always wanting to push limits and go further!? Waste of time when we could all just be playing Pokemon.
Um wrong: "We learned yesterday evening that NHTSA is opening a preliminary evaluation into the performance of Autopilot during a recent fatal crash that occurred in a Model S. This is the first known fatality in just over 130 million miles where Autopilot was activated. Among all vehicles in the US, there is a fatality every 94 million miles. Worldwide, there is a fatality approximately every 60 million miles." But now there's been two fatal crashes, that kinda screws that up! Perhaps Autopilot has now caused more fatalities per million miles traveled.... Either way, I'd still trust it over a normal driver.
Wow, OK, so with all those guns defending you, America must have one of the lowest murder rates in the world then, ay! Otherwise you'd just sound like a fool saying that!
"the rest of the world doesnt envy the US; when it comes to gun law we genuinely believe that you are totally and irredeemably batshit insane, and can only watch in horror." That's an understatement. Other countries after massacres think "hmm, perhaps we should do something to fix this". And fix it. American's seem to think that massacres means more guns should be introduced and start buying more while screaming "Obama about to tell the army to attack Texas and take all my guns!!!". That's right, ask all the soldiers that come from Texas to attack their own families. Yet a large proportions of American's genuinely believe that will happen, just like they believe the world's only a few thousand years old. And now they've got Trump one step away from punching the big red nuke button. "Batshit insane" just scratches the surface of how messed up America is.
So, on the extremely small chance that someone physically stronger than you, threatens you (without a gun of course) and you happen to have a gun and can operate it effectively while freaked out (and not accidentally shoot someone else or yourself which is more likely), you're willing to sacrifice all the other lives lost to guns? Like children under 5 who die or kill others every week in America because they kill themselves with a misplaced gun? You're pretty sick.
Yep, hunkering down in NZ. Hoping the fallout won't reach this far and there's no reason to nuke us, our job in wars is mainly just to patch people up. P.S. I'm really worried about the US if you don't show Africa on your maps;-)
That's what I don't understand about America, how on Earth have you gotten in to a situation where these two are your choices to run a superpower? The next few years are going to be pretty bad for the world, I'm just happy to be in a country that doesn't even show on most American maps!

At yet you use "fag" as a hate word. You need help.

Capital letters much?
"You voted to leave, so leave already"
Um, no. There was a non-binding referendum. That is all.

Yes it does, read other comments as to why it failed.
My brain processed it as 500k worldwide for some reason and I thought "damn, is that all!".
But 500 WORLDWIDE? Why is this even an article?

Agreed! Surely they know how stupid people can be.
Ahh, a straw man response, I'd expect nothing less.
Golf clap.

Considering Trump actually has a shot now, I really don't know if these comments are serious or not.
You American's are seriously screwed up.
What's funny, is you trying to be "cool" while posting to Slashdot. You must be American, because the irony here is out of control.
There's a few good cloud based calendar apps out there! You should check them out.
