Comment Re:Pandemic for the Unvaccinated (Score 1) 600

And you trust them to abide by that rule? The recommendations change to stop masking was wrong and dangerous because the unvaccinated took it as permission to stop wearing masks, too. Until deaths drop worldwide, it should be the norm to wear a mask outside your household. It's something simple that saves lives, vaccinate or not. Period.

Comment This is a settled law matter (Score 1) 391

Face unlocking is legally not different than fingerprints and and law enforcement has been using that for a long time and it's not protected by the fourth or fifth amendments and this has been upheld by the SCOTUS: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnews.bloomberglaw.com%2F...

Comment Wording (Score 1) 226

The title suggests that Google is fighting against distracted driving laws, but when you read TFA, it sounds like they are really fighting laws that ban Glass-like devices which, depending on your point of view, might not be the same thing.

When I'm using my phone to navigate in the car, I have to glance at the phone occasionally. If I had Glass active and it was showing some of the same things, I wouldn't need to look away from the road and (in theory) could be less distracted. IMHO, I would think a blanket ban on the device is premature at this point. If Glass is released to the public and the data shows that it causes problems, the it will be time to start the discussion.
