If they wanted to do mass device fingerprinting (minimally, de-identified by default, not shared, etc.) they could do that already without a smart city so that's completely orthogonal.
- 52-6F-62 6y agoIt's not orthogonal. They were looking to create an entire region of the city where they would operate a dragnet.
- wendyshu 6y agoI just said why it's orthogonal. I don't see a counterargument here.
- 52-6F-62 6y agoThere is no counter argument. It's just a fact. They don't currently operate a dragnet. Barrier for entry for setting up physical sensors in a currently functioning urban setting is high which is why they were looking to build their own neighbourhood from scratch. I'm not getting into any arguments today.
- wendyshu 6y agoActually they were already collecting data and people easily set up outdoor sensors all the time. But maybe there'd be more incentive to collect within a smart city project.
