who's you?

Summarized happened.

One that wants to teach Greek mythology but can't because no child left behind forced teachers to teach the standardized tests over all else.

by chaps 2mo ago
There's a lot of truth to this, but....... fuck they did a great job disincentivizing it. In high school we had to read and annotate this 900p Greek mythology book during our summer break. Our grade reflected how well we annotated it

Are you okay?

Fucking yikes, bro.

You literally said, "It's also important to note that Flock is just a license plate reader." You're spreading misinformation about what these things are and aren't. It's fucked up. But I'm hopeful that you

Friend, even after listening to that interview you still insisted on saying that flock ONLY does ALPR and only now that you've been given an example of where you were wrong, you suggest that I listen to the thing that clearly didn&#x27

Flock is not just a license plate reader. They have many products. Here's an article today that includes a decent deep dive into the code of one of its new projects that's... definitely more than just license plate reading. https

Everybody should submit FOIAs. If that makes me an advocate for public records, then sure, I'm an advocate. And of course those things count, but it's arguably only focused on your immediate surroundings. I've done some prett

You're being needlessly antagonistic and it makes me think you haven't actually explored local options. Let's start elsewhere: what sort of civic engagement are you involved with? Have you ever submitted a FOIA request? Been

It does matter and you're lying to yourself if you think it doesn't.

by chaps 2mo ago
Mannnnn.... I've done similar and have NOT had the same experience. The problems I've had are usually because I'm loading stuff in a weird disk-memory-cpu trifecta and they all really want to push the remaining 30GB stuff i

Quick: give us 10 correlative reasons why this could be that don't include surveillance tech. You'll do great.
45.
by chaps 2mo ago
Okay but can you give me an article that's relevant to the use of surveillance that speaks to your central claim?
46.
by chaps 2mo ago
That's creepy as fuck. Also, show proof.

by chaps 2mo ago
This reduction is happening across the board and isn't "because of flock".

by chaps 2mo ago
People who like Flock: is this a surprise?
49.
by chaps 2mo ago
Yeah, a lot of these issues are felt in other fields too so it feels like there's a need for a larger, wider schism. Like I would love to go to law school but I can't afford it. So many possible but inherently unattainable futures

Have you ever dared to dream of something that sounds impossible but isn't?
51.
by chaps 2mo ago
Have you not met anyone who would disown you as a person for suggesting that?
52.
by chaps 2mo ago
Agreed. There's a lot of work to get us there.

Should private prisons have their own private prison guards that use paintball guns filled with pepper spray? Should private prisons be FOIA'able just like public prisons?

"I mean they don't hide much anymore." heh as a foia nerd, heh.

Right there's another gotcha with the data. They gave 15-60mph data in :30 minute increments. "This would still identify officers blocks or get within a couple blocks of their home for those with take home cars. Would speeds of 15

Fun fact: in some municipalities you can FOIA for the GPS records of police vehicles. Here's Chicago Police's. They removed 0-15mph for, erm, privacy reasons.... but it's not the worst. Have a glance: https://www.d

Do yourself a favor and submit a FOIA request for some body camera of something you're trying to understand. If the footage is too long, they'll deny your request for being unduly burdensome because of the need to review/reda

IMO it is and I've been saying it for more than ten years that it would catch up with the industry. And it is now. The LLM shit is just a mask over the larger problem. The front fell off because the base was never built to support a sh

by chaps 2mo ago
Erm, no. I'm saying that the entire industry failure to cultivate a wide spirit of mentorship is biting everyone's ass.

by chaps 2mo ago
Are you seriously suggesting that ten years of a systemic failure to mentor the new generation hasn't had an impact on the culture of mentorship?
