Couldn't agree more! Although sad Gavan will be passing on the torch, seeing this make the top of HN and the overwhelming support from people is such a positive surprise.

I don't really think Waze can be blamed here though... it's not as though it's going out of its way to choose more dangerous routes. It has no notion of how well-lit a street is, or the incline, or how many cars are parked al

And here I was, imagining a kit with a color spectrometer that would measure skin tone, as a predictor. I thought, that's a novel idea... had to dig a bit deeper on the website, to realize it's saliva-based. Makes much more sense.

Agreed, this has good potential for developed countries as well. Makes me wonder what the home equivalent of "bioweapon mode" is too, looking at the main filter in my home's HVAC system, it's certainly far from advanced.

You could remove the SIM card I suppose. On some cars this is super easy (it just pops right out of the dash), on the Model S unfortunately its a lot harder to access (but still doable). And while most cars seem designed to do just fine whe

I recall reading almost three years ago about a pair of Google engineers who won a prize in the FTC's Robocall Challenge, but at the time weren't pursuing it further. I wonder if that is what's powering Fiber Phone's spa
