EMTs don't usually handle floods, but of course you know that, you're just being a smart ass

That’s cool and all but have they figured out why their phones send green messages? I have to use iPhone because blue messages.

With relevant parties, like your doctor, yes.
The tech itself isn’t anything Apple developed themselves, it’s all based on other available components.

I heard the Apple Watch has this great tech that can detect issues going on in your body. Are they up for sharing?

So why do you people tell us to evacuate for a hurricane/flood days ahead of time? Just tell us like 5 minutes before.

Of course you don’t know an earthquake is going to happen until it does (duh!) and with wave propagation speeds of up 5 miles per second, the “best” you can hope for is 10 seconds warning at 50 miles.

You act like this doesn't happen. Pharmaceutical companies just do this but worse daily.

I'd assume the laser has safety stuff, but being a surgeon, that's a unique concern and issue!

Disgusting. This is a story about how google has earthquake predicting data and doesn’t share it with people who aren’t its customers. I can’t believe how proud this article is of them for not caring about people.

>What extremely useful features do you lose if you do not consent?
The enhanced accuracy service which uses things like nearby WiFi networks to pinpoint your location faster and more accurately. You can still use all your device's hardware, you just don't get the benefit of using Google's servers and wifi database.

It depending on how deep the earthquake is, it could give you time to get cover.
The 5.1 in san jose was just 8km below the surface. Some quakes have to travel 30-50km before reaching the surface.

Apple Watch saves human from dying from being a dumbass.
Also if this assclown of a doctor isn't a "crazy Apple person" but going to recommend the Apple watch to older patients, perhaps he should also recommend the walk steadiness monitoring in the Apple health app.

It usually takes me 5-10 seconds to decide if the quake is big enough to warrant action. This seems like a great feature.
