People got $1k/m for three years. Looks like they worked less, no change on quality of employment. Spent more time on mostly leisure. More subjective happiness for the first year, and revert to control groups after. Pretty much what I

I said it doesn't do facial recognition or video. Sure there's an image so it's reasonable to catalog color and stuff, but that's relatively new. It's not a big gotcha that you think it is It's entirely reasona

Private corporations shouldn't set or interpret the law. They can sell technology but that's up to the jurisdiction to set policies. What a dystopian vision you have where corporate ceos start telling police what's legal and

I agree, police unions are mostly to blame, but unfortunately a downside of collective action. How we allow public sector unions at all is baffling to me.

I recently listened to the Flock CEO on All In podcast, and he mentioned an ironic thing about Flock and it's audit trail is that it serves as a honeypot to root out bad police. Flock basically knows what a malicious request looks like

I have not. Are these things you advocate? I have picked up garbage around my neighborhood. Kept my sidewalk clean and tidy. Helped neighbors w basic tasks. Does this count?

How do you make sure a police state doesn't happen? Block traffic? Tweet? Cut off ties with friends and family that don't share your political beliefs? Of course you can avoid politics. Just be a good person. Vote for who you thin

How do you get someone to review your product if you're one of N? Paid reviews? Not independent anymore. Paying money to get some exposure and sales is the best of all bad options.

I have cameras around my home. If someone breaks in I have video recording that I can provide police. I also live in a safe expensive neighborhood and naturally we have police cameras and a well funded police force. They have what they need

Pretty sure flock network isn't available to Uber. As an aside, some people have an uncanny ability to take two things that are different in every conceivable way except one, and use the one similarity as the basis for an analogy.

Yes, the whole is worth more than the individual parts. It's like if you're trying to catch someone who robbed a home, you may have a camera to catch the car and license. Great first step, but cars used in crimes are often stolen.

Of course cops stop crime. Well maybe not cops but putting people that commit crime in prison, there is less crime. Look at El Salvador as an example. It's that easy

You're saying two separate things. We should make sure police don't abuse their power. That's what auditing and strict access controls are for. If someone abuses it, they are held accountable. But that doesn't mean you n

This assumes that the benefit of allowing police to effectively do their job outweighs instances of abuse of that power. I don't get this argument. Police aren't perfect therefore police shouldn't be granted the ability to do

Can someone explain to me why you wouldn't want a camera accessible to police monitoring the comings and goings of your residence? Seems it would make it trivial to catch any criminal behavior. And the pool makes sense as well as pools
