If you want to explore navigation I made an app: https://alprwatch.org/navigation . It works fully offline, you just need to download the maps and overlays

I made a version which does the avoidance dynamically at runtime, works for any tracks you want to use: https://alprwatch.org/navigation . It works fully offline after you download the maps and overlays

Different datasets. deflock.me is for ALPR locations, alpr.watch shows where local government meetings are taking place

About 40k new cameras each year from what I have seen. If you find yourself with some time, there is now a DeFlock app that helps with mapping. It also includes locations where people suspect there might be a camera, though that is limited

I will be surprised if there is not a startup in the coming years that pays you to run a surveillance mining app that shares data as a way to subsidize the cost of the hardware. The surveillance state equivalent of ads

It is specifically Flock. For a bit of data, check around page 110 of this report on data sharing between camera operators: https://cdn.muckrock.com/foia_files/2025/07/23/JCSO_Agency_S...

Why accept surveillance and tracking without a narrow and well-defined scope? It is one thing to track cars for estimating traffic velocity, it is another entirely to create a national database of all locations any given individual has been

Possible, but there are plenty of instances of that sort of layout. One way to cross-correlate is to pull 811 records. This map overlays the Deflock data with 811 locations: https://alprwatch.org/flock/utilities/

An app to screen properties based on your own esoteric criteria. Things like, "I want to have a balcony facing south, looking at a park." Then you can send a list of suitable properties to a real estate agent to scout, or set a no

Where do you turn for a variety of opinions, activities, and social interactions over the long term? There is incredible value in growing alongside people over a period of time and acting as a mutual support network

Absolutely not an exaggeration. I have encountered masters students who balked at the idea of opening a file in Python, despite that ostensibly being their language of choice for a machine learning class. The concept of where the data physi

One of the big changes was to make many basic tools into lazy iterators instead of greedy lists (map, filter, range, etc.). I can remember having to teach my fellow scientist/engineer colleagues not to just loop over an index variable

It partly arises as a mechanism to pay per case, not just per visit. For example, if we put all payment for a breast cancer treatment into the first visit, there is now an incentive to either complete the treatment (ideal) or keep the patie

And yet it is one of the few places where it is mandatory to have your name on the publicly-facing postbox in order for mail to arrive. The privacy sentiment here is all over the place.

A friend of mine founded a company in this space ( https://www.joincake.com/ ). From what I know it is more on the side of helping you build your own solution, rather than delivering all of the technical aspects. The technica

I fantasize about this sometimes for scientific purposes. Part of the challenge is how to keep the barrier to entry low enough that people stay excited and creative, because the opposite is the world of regulated industries where your way o

This is quite common in scientific research. The typical algorithm I follow is to reframe the problem in the language of different fields and see whether there is a more useful way of tackling it in that framework. There are always some lea

It's been a few years and I know it depends on the exact journal, but I thought Elsevier had paid editors? My memory is that society journals tend to be unpaid but that Elsevier, Nature, Frontiers, etc. had paid editors.

It's definitely been my experience that reviews are hit-or-miss. Sometimes you get 1-2 reviews where there are valid points that need to be addressed, sometimes you wait 3 months for the reviews to come back, only to find that reviewer

There are several open access solutions but few (if any?) open source solutions. Arxiv is free but lacks reputation outside a small number of fields. PLOS One has a decent reputation in some fields and probably comes closest in being good v

I issues with Outlook Web App (M365) often. Dropped characters are not so common, but it is common for the cursor to bug out and insist on returning the to start of a line with each new character.
