>Nobody is saying HOA except you. Me and the founding mission of flock when it got seed funding from HN in 2017. Flocks original goal was private security for HOAs, nothing to do with police/government. Hence this whole debacle here

Ok cool. Wake me up when HOAs are nationally detaining people.

The 350K HOAs are hardly "niche".

I don't think private HOA networks count as "mass surveillance".

Classic ideologue behavior of no-nuance blind rage to stoke as much support as possible for their cause. "My cause is more important than honesty, and honesty could detract from the rage energy I need" You see this is everywhere,

From 2017 please... Unfortunately Google seems to have removed the ability to search only in specific time frames, but the original pitch I'm sure does exist out there. There are over 350K HOAs in the US, so scaling to just HOAs would

Links from 2017 would be the best way to see what YC invested in, no?

Let me rephrase my comment you are replying to for clarity "Yes, HOAs would honestly want plate readers.."

You can do stuff like like turn it on to heat or cool the cabin, live track it's location, lock/unlock doors, open/close trunk, and updates are mostly for the infotainment systemn and driving assists. Their is a cell modem in

I'm pretty sure HOAs would honestly want that, and I don't think the anyone would care about pocket networks in private communities.

Well until there is solid evidence of them wanting a government mass surveillance apperatus, I'm not gonna grab a pitchfork. I've been on the internet too long to give credence to people who resort to conspiracy when data doesn&#x

What sucks is that at least with my car, if you pull their access, you also lose all your remote access as well, and the ability to receive updates.

Blantantly making stuff up is a bad look, they were founded as an HOA (private neighborhood) security service. >Flock’s camera and accompanying software is geared towards private neighborhoods and neighborhood associations looking to dec

Using misleading language is the best way to get up votes though!

1GW is around 6,000 cars. There are probably twice that in the community complaining... Also the stat is from GE Vernova, they make the generators used. If you really want to argue without having the flex and bend to grasp at straws, just g

If you're gonna change the subject to global CO2, I can go ahead and change the subject to meat production, or using AC, or flying in airplanes because surely the high horse you're trying to ride on can only carry an AC free low i

The global problem of CO2 is something separate than the hyper local "problem" of CO2. The "other stuff" is lower than the emissions in cars "other stuff". If you are rallying behind "Natural gas generator

These are off-the-shelf generators, not bespoke built on-site. They typically have NOx emissions even lower than modern cars.

And here we all thought for sure that it was gonna be the "dumb" work to fall to the machines first. Human hubris really is something...

Yeah, but just being a human is enough to qualify for not living in a smog cloud. Also the article is trying to connect gas turbines from 2 years ago with cancer rates..

First of all, what is datacenter pollution? Second, why is the article trying so hard to make datacenters out as racist?

Sure, but the rub is that you don't even need to take it. But if you only think in gas station thinking, it seems unavoidable.

I don't have a side, especially as an atheist. I mean, we have modern day Islamic societies that are still dragging out homosexuals and stoning them, and still putting women in bags as property. If that was what I needed to defend with

People are so politically blinded that it's almost impossible to explain the plan, but to anyone with the strength to keep a level head, it's pretty clear what the plan was, and frankly it probably had a 50% success chance. But Tr

The planet will never run out of oil, because people will always run out of money for it first.

The problem is the "gas station mindset", where people are only able to view EV ownership through the lens of "drive till empty then fill up". A 250 mile round trip to the beach becomes unthinkable because the gas statio

If oil starts ruining the financial picture on top of just the...global welfare of every living human picture, then maybe, just maybe people will actually give up their addiction.

It's funny because I had the exact experience with NPR/member station. I listened to it daily every morning about 15 years ago because my job at the time was perfect for it. Then I changed careers and couldn't listen for a lo

The last PBS produced video I watched (it was on yt) was on the current super El Nino, totally cool. But somehow they managed to segue into more than a few minutes of "Remind white people of what happened 300 years ago" right in t
