I thought these cameras were only used to read license plates. What happened to that discussion?

I drove a $1000 car for a long time back in my poor days. You could get minimum liability insurance for $50/month or even less. Just whatever you needed to be able to drive legally. Thankfully I was never in any crashes but I always dr

"A picture is worth a thousand words" It's like we've had this ancient knowledge passed down for generations but people constantly just ignore it.

Absolutely, there’s a reason as well why the VC’s funding these defense tech startups are so pro H1B. It guarantees them a compliant workforce who can’t easily quit, ask for higher wages, or complain about things like genocide.

Thank goodness someone wrote this, I was also thinking about writing an article like this. This is such a massively overblown worry that AI companies who are seeking regulatory capture love to roll out whenever they are trying to gin up som

This is not crazy at all for anyone from the Bay Area. A rundown house in a not so great part of the bay is seven figures minimum. 75k is a typical bonus at a company like Facebook or Google. There are tens if not hundreds of thousands of t

These robots are 2 feet tall and don’t come equipped with weapons. Genuinely curious how you are saying they are dangerous? Are they more or less dangerous than a human with a gun?

by Dig1t 16d ago
In what way are they not safe? Unless you strap a gun to one (which they are not doing afaik) how could they actually cause harm to a human?

Hopefully Mount McKinley will stay. It was named that in 1896 and held that name until Obama decided to make a political statement.

Do we the people get to elect the people in this new branch of government? What recourse do we have if they stop serving our interests?

This is still a useful first step. Once “flock” becomes eponymous and a toxic political football, it can be applied to all future companies who do the same thing. The word “Flock” is quickly becoming toxic, in the future we’ll be able to us

Notice how CNN frames this in a pretty favorable way towards Flock. They claim the cameras are only for license plates even though they can and are used for other things. They don’t mention at all the fact that the general public does not l

>I was concerned that they would fail to modernise into a world that is quite different now than 13 years ago What do you mean by this? In what way has the world changed that you thought they might fail to capture?

Most right wingers are fine with that. As the recent GTA 6 leak shows, companies that embrace offshoring too eagerly learn the hard way that not all jobs can be sent to the other side of the planet.

It's an obvious thing that anyone can understand, any group of people on the planet would behave the same way. It is natural to oppose becoming a minority, minorities are treated poorly and marginalized, by dint of human nature. The da

This is classic goomba fallacy. Right wing oligarchs want infinite immigration because they get a larger labor pool and lower wages. Right wing normies want less immigration because they don't want to compete with the entire world for

These types of allegations are extremely common with basically every type of construction project, especially when contractors know the client has deep pockets. None of this has been adjudicated by a court. Plus this story is written by som

I don't know, I'm sure you'd say Europe is a far more healthy, educated, engaged and safe place (by typical metrics), but they are not building anything like this and probably never will be able to approach anything close to

Starbase, TX Giga Texas Giga Nevada Terrafab etc There's plenty of examples of this company building these types of projects and following through. Why do you think this one would be any different?

Why isn’t Flock mentioned anywhere in this article? It should be first on the list. Frankly it’s the only one I really care about and the one that is the most destructive to liberty. The gambling stuff is bad for society but the real proble

In 1990 in was 20% asian, in 1980 in was 7%. The representation of the show is still realistic for one person's lifetime, in my opinion. Indeed the creators of the show were full adults in 1980, a time when the USA was still nearly 100

In 2000 it was 44% Asian. In just 2 decades (less than one generation) it completely flipped. Demographic replacement in the USA is so fast and extreme that it’s difficult to keep up with it. A TV writer who started their career in 2000 and

I think he’s saying that places like SF and NY have been very soft on crime in the last decade. Things like SF not penalizing theft under $1000, or not investigating car break-ins. The natural reaction to soft on crime policies is a backlas

Just because we have societal problems does not mean we need to immediately give up all privacy immediately. There are other ways to fix our problems.

These people are not arguing in good faith, Flock and ALPR companies know they are extremely unpopular and are pushing PR really hard right now to try to fix their reputation. Anyone with half a brain can understand that there’s a differenc
