The problem is that autonomous cars need maps with this level of detail in the first place. A truly autonomous car should be able to integrate data from a basic map (i.e. line drawing of how streets connect converted to a node diagram in a database), GPS, street markings, and the outside environment in order to get from points A to B. After all, non-autonomous drivers do this with a set of less-than-perfect cameras and microphones, not even with IR cameras or microwave radar.
$5000 fine might be worth paying, depending on the circumstances, if the alternative is jail or loss of corporate secrets. Way around this is either an erased phone or an SD card with a smaller capacity stamped on it with plus an encrypted partition on the remainder. If what's on the unencrypted partition is innocuous, this should stand up to a casual search at least.
He's ACCUSED of a crime, not yet convicted, so he has the same rights as you and I. Also, we're talking about the FBI here, but the same hole can be exploited by Chinese or Russian intelligence against Americans having sensitive business emails on their devices...
If there's a hand on your face, any good facial recognition system would fail to unlock due to the possibility of outside interference. If Apple's doesn't, it should be updated to stay locked.
There should also be an "emergency expression" (say mouth to one side, nostrils flared) that says "wipe it all with prejudice."
The WiFi landing page accepts any email address (i.e. fuckyougoogle@fuckgoogle.org works fine) without verification. Combined with a MAC address randomizer, tracking might be a wee bit difficult.
(1) This would be terrible, no one wants to lose their friends, neighbors, or even their own life. (2) World's overpopulated anyway -- humanity needs a good thinning to ensure survival of the species on an overburdened planet.
Flying and looking down are pretty awesome (assuming flight over land) if you're not a jaded little prick. I always get the window seat even if I have to pay a bit more.
In the 42% high school teacher group, what is the distribution among science/math (vs English, language, history, art, etc) teachers? I'd suspect that STEM would skew male.
Crime is the price we have to pay for living in a free society. If cash enables crime, so be it. Better less safety than total control and surveillance.
Want to really fix crime? (a) stop criminalizing victimless crimes like personal drug use and sex between consenting adults. (b) don't create an economic environment with lack of opportunity that doesn't allow people other options.
Got news for you: most businesses still accept cash. In the NYC boroughs, many of the same drivers that drive for the "rideshare" firms also operate under regular taxi ("black car") brands and can be used for a lower cash payment than when you pay through Goober or Lyft.
Amish is not an insult -- sometimes the older option is the best option. Fuck progress for the sake of progress when it gives no measurable benefit.
At least I can pay good, old-fashioned, cash for a taxi and not have my CC info, email, name, and other ID info in a database for eternity. Uber/Lyft/the rest of the "rideshare" techbro firms = no privacy.
Yeah, yeah, taxis have cameras, but facial recognition is still a lot harder than ID from an account "verified" with CC info. F Uber, Lyft, Via, and the rest of them.
They're trying to undercut taxis and public transportation, then jack prices sky-high after they kill the competition. Hope they epically fail, crash, and burn.

He's not a criminal yet, merely someone accused of a crime. This is true until he (via guilty plea), a judge, or jury say otherwise.

It can't be. It uses IR light to map the face in 3-d -- it's not just a photo.

They have an audio-out jack. $3 set of headphones solves the privacy issue.

Skype 8 has a desktop program in addition to a modern/metro crapplet. It even works on real OS's like Windows 7...
787 is a 767 replacement, not a 777 replacement -- 767s are 472 cm inside width.

My (public) high school math and science teachers were mostly (about 3:4) male.
So basically, they're wasting their talents pushing money around instead of benefiting humanity. Sad life :(
Use a car service. Negotiate a lower cash price than Goober. They're mostly the same drivers...
It's not an issue of CC info, it's an issue of identity. Cash is nice because it's anonymous. Anonymity is good.

Nothing wrong with people wanting to be paid in cash rather than giving banksters "swipe fees." What's wrong with Haitians? You racist?

Because I don't care that much about 24/7 connectivity and keeping myself on an e-leash?
Refinement is boring. I envy the En Vee Aitch! Give me more NVH, not a fucking sofa on wheels.
Sync? More like STINK.
