Truly anonymous data is not subject to the GDPR. So the question is whether the data they are collecting is truly anonymous. They seem to be claiming or suggesting "Yes it is" https://code.visualstudio.com/docs&#x2

I do it the awkward way too. But I typical play an artist that I loved two decades ago and crank the volume. So "My music" wasn't the best way to describe it. More music that is just for me. I don't find their inbuilt mu

I get your point. But the approach to the situation differs I think. A human driver would creep into the intersection to get a better view and then go if clear. The Waymo proceeded with far more confidence. Just better vision. It starting

The start stop traffic gave me car sickness quickly. The 280 is a 4 lane highway that, at certain times of day, adaptive cruise control gets very little workout.

I do want to clarify that my comment: the skateboarder would not have died. Waymo provided a larger margin of error for the board rider than a human could possibly have.

From my personal experience they are priced cheaper for all rides. But rarely that much cheaper - perhaps a surge time? The variable that differs is time to pickup. I've found Waymo is generally pretty good for me in off-peak times - p

Fair point. When I take a passenger in a Waymo and it is there first time I'm hyper aware of the driving. But for myself personally, I'm mostly tuned out. For me it started to feel "normal" as early as about the 4th ride

The current ride pricing feels about 10-20% less than an Uber in SF - but I haven't really checked properly. So don't expect the rideshare product (Waymo One) to be a super cheap option.

Another fun anecdote. When a Waymo is in the vicinity of another Waymo they acknowledge each other in a whimsical/cute way - the windshield wipers swipe once (I'm not sure they still do this). But it wasn't implemented very w

Fair point. For more context the waymo just made the right turn and there was a line of cars in front moving slowly or still. The skateboarder was crouched down and going fast between the cars and the gutter (against traffic). Perhaps from

Since it seems people are interested. I had one situation which this sort of thing made me a bit uneasy (So one gripe actually). I was sitting back right seat. Waymo was waiting to make an unprotected left turn over two lanes. There was a v

From my perspective, as a relatively early adopter of Waymo (60+ rides). I have zero gripes with the driving itself. In fact I've seen Waymos do things that no human would be able to do*. Drop-offs and pickups I'd like to see impr

Given Apollo made WWDC in a few places including in Vision Pro, perhaps someone at Apple might consider just acquiring Apollo and pay the yearly API fees to Reddit. Over time Apple could then perhaps make the Reddit clone.

I think his objections were valid “taller fencing and landscaping to block sight lines onto our family’s property.” I would hate to be a celebrity and have people recording me all the time, especially at home.

I put all electronic stuff that has no resale value in a box and then once a year drop it at an Apple store. I trust Apple to do the right thing as they have a reputation to uphold. They take 3rd party stuff as well and batteries etc.

Maybe. I'll need to get my hands on the license terms which I don't seem to be able to find. They are still offering security support for the product FWIW. [Quote] On March 15th 2022, Google released Chrome 99, which introduced a

I don't disagree. But how long should someone support an indefinite license for? 5 years? 20 years? Who decides? They marketed it using the word "Indefinite" to differentiate it from subscriptions. This was an indefinite LTS

That is correct. I am attempting to be punitive in this. Lots of people are paying way more for a new product after buying a lifetime license to a product that was just fine. What if they stopped supporting the lifetime license after a day?
