Me too. Which perhaps undermines the point of the denial?

Perhaps off topic but this was very difficult to read because PC Mag’s advertising was constantly changing sizes. Thank God for Reader View or I’d have abandoned it early

thanks very much, super-helpful!

how do you like the Ooni Koda? Wired had a review and they seem a little mixed on it, gave it 8/10 https://www.wired.com/review/ooni-koda-pizza-oven/

This is inaccurate. Only a small fraction are live. And it would take a lot more than 3,000 cameras to be "city wide" in SD. It's a really large city in geographic terms.

by mark212 8y ago
that's a different system. They don't have cameras.

anything short of criminal charges is "no enforcement mechanism"? You do realize that if you're a POST-certified peace officer and terminated for cause (1) you lose your pension and (2) are utterly unemployable by any other l

I think there’s a statewide standard now on light pollution that mandates dimmer lights. Supposed to be safer, too, because the contrast with the shadows isn’t so great.

Great point: let’s have an honest and fact-based discussion. This blog post isn’t that. Turn up at a council meeting and tell the elected politicians that you don’t want to be spied on. Make the police defend their use of the footage. Convi

It’s classified the same as other confidential information. There was a senior detective fired because she mishandled the same class of info on a case, so yeah there are serious consequences for breaking these rules. It’s not at all like co

“Too tantalizing to public officials”? Please explain. The city is run by nine elected members of the council. For what possible purpose would they wish to have audio recordings of street traffic?
42.
by mark212 8y ago
No, there aren’t. This is a few hundred cameras and it’s mostly downtown. San Diego is the eighth largest city in the US and this is a tiny fraction of the city. Evaluate it on the merits, but be clear about what’s really going on.

by mark212 8y ago
This blog post is highly misleading and inaccurate. Access to the video is very limited and subject to strict protocols for use in investigations. And the audio recording capacity isn’t live because the City has no use for it. The SD Reader

“Little green men” to me is a reference to the Russian army units that invaded Ukraine without insignia for deniability.

There are regional technical support task forces that work across agencies. Smaller departments call them in for serious work and the larger ones contribute resources. So while you’re right about the agencies’ individual capabilities, you’r

San Diego has the tenth highest rent in the US and while it may be cheaper in absolute terms, the average salaries are lower too. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/real-estate/sd...

More than half of San Diego renters spend 30%+ of income on rent, making it one of the least affordable areas in the country. https://www.kpbs.org/news/2019/jan/03/more-half-san-diego-co...

Those other cities around the valley are just as NIMBY and impacted as SF is, and the problem is even worse because the local governance structure is fractured. Mountain View, Palo Alto, and Cupertino are all separate cities with their own

It’s not just SF. This article also talks about NYC and the massive problem they’re having with the subways. San Diego (#8 in most populous cities) is having a very difficult problem with homelessness and has extremely high rents, one of th

So you live in a world where the FBI has unlimited resources to prosecute all crimes? Sounds fabulous, what’s that like?

I’m suggesting that in a world of finite resources, one should prioritize the most serious over the picayune

Apparently there are no more drug cartels to go after? We’re now worried about a has-been actress who paid $15,000 so her kid could cheat on the SAT? I’m skeptical of the FBI’s investigative priorities. Wall Street is suddenly squeaky-clean

The Heroes of Telemark is even better! Kirk Douglas and Richard Harris, what could be better?

Yeah that ascii art with three swastikas really added to the discourse. That and the second comment “your mom is Facebook” made me think the Algonquin round table had come back to life.

I think the point is to integrate the money with the bracket, and have it update live and accurately. I assume none of the existing platforms you use take money, hold the pot, and disburse to the winner?

The fact that they’re not handling people who own real estate simplifies things considerably and they have Attorney reviews to screen out the complicated cases (from what I gather). But yeah the basics of a no-asset Chapter 7 where the only

most people filing for BK aren't really "people that don't have any money." It's a middle class problem: the truly poor have virtually no access to credit and are unlikely to have debt problems, while the well-off c

I would strongly urge you to create a white label version of this and sell it to consumer BK lawyers. I used to practice in this area and the biggest pain-point by far was handling the documents from the clients and turning that into PDFs o

It's exceptionally difficult to discharge student loan debt in bankruptcy. Rare to even have someone try, quite honestly, given the state of the caselaw at this point. Basically have to be fully and permanently disabled to even have a

there's a teardown of the Apple 2018 iPad Pro charger (18w) on the same site for comparison. Sadly, there's not much analysis except to say that the Apple charger is very well built and compact.
