There's a lot more to it than just contracts and contractors. There's a good book that talks about improving the military's ability to respond (The Kill Chain). The general point is that the face of war has evolved but the U.

You're asking good questions about raising capital but the outcome was a rare circumstance where all cofounders, previous investors, new investors, current employees, and the exec team are thrilled. There's a lot to do but the rou

Can't count cars at the moment, unfortunately. But there's some cool tech from Flocksafety and other camera solutions.

Lower cost systems like Google's Popular Times, are not as accurate as they seem. The next time you see a graph on google, you'll notice there's no y-axis. It's a clever way to look like actuals when it's relative t

No rain! It's a great callout. We'll see what we can do if for no other reason than to understand risk.

Thank you. Fwiw, our eng team has deeply benefited from all those dev tools and libraries. The stack to result in real-time, accurate count is nuts. I think one of our devs, Gus, was on the thread. Maybe he can weigh in.

This one's legit (cofounder here). We honestly thought it would be a side project. We originally used a raspberry pi and two TP-Links to recreate a router ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRGa9-QUDWo&t=7s ). People

We get this question from time to time. It may be possible with some systems but it's not feasible at our resolution. You can see more of our depth data here -- https://medium.com/density-inc/ai-is-not-magic-its-ma

I've lost track of the number of times we've said, "well, we count people" and thought... god this must be boring for other people.

If it becomes super wide spread, we'd make it low to no cost to provide wait times to end users.

dtertman! Those were awesome questions (same cofounder here). I read a thing a while back as a startup, your job is to survive long enough for the market to need you. Great talking to you 5 years later.

That is an exceptional name. If you still want to build it, we have a real-time API. Love supporting apps :) (Density cofounder here)

I agree with this. It's compliance will be contextual / regional / etc. This is why the system also support real-time alerts and safe analytics. In the event a place like Walmart wants to more actively enforce they can. Displ

MAC address tracking is one approach but it's imprecise and with the proliferation of "things with antennas," you have to do a lot of reconciling on the backend to not count 1 person as 3 when they have multiple devices on th

That's an interesting point. What would you recommend? Follow street sign structure?

There are grocers who have required all corporate employees to work at least 3 days a week in a store bagging groceries, cleaning carts, and managing lines. Side not, essential businesses are the only real experts in safety right now. Every

Good example of this is in elevators. People fill the available space like water.

You're right. "Notify me when it's quiet" is a thing the system supports. In related news, load balancing humans is a two-sided thing.

Actually, many deployments are going into factories, fulfillment centers, and meat processing plants specifically to help keep workers safe.

This. People are weird. They do strange stuff and it's really hard to count accurately.

I don't think cameras will be displaced / eliminated. It's just a question of whether or not they will be accepted as a form of active surveillance or remain a method of security. Today, they are largely security but it'

Many have / are trying this. Harder to pull off than it seems. Privacy is a big part but distributing the infra to do this at scale is nontrivial. A number of years back Placemeter used to pay you 50/mo to install your Android dev
