Because they did it on purpose to demonstrate their utter contempt for their users and to show us how wrong we are.

I wasn't inviting another tired relitigation of the defund movement, only observing the apparent origin of police caring even less about crime.

There’s no upper bound for either of those things.

I’m not sure if it was COVID or the social movements around the same time like defund the police. Here in Seattle when defunding the police was suggested the police department threatened to close the precinct in a large residential area.

Then charge for it. I happily pay for high quality services. I pay for Jetbrains editors, I pay for my email, I pay for LLM tokens, and I pay for Patreon subscriptions. Stop supporting content with advertising.

Interesting to see mention of how quickly this was implemented. It seemed sudden to me but I wasn’t sure if I was just out of the loop.

Yeah you’re right, we should give up. Freedom is an impossible dream.

Doesn’t this just lower the bar on going to war? Putting real lives on the line makes war a costly last resort.

Seems easy to verify with an iPhone. Put it in the bag, transport the phone, look it up on Find My.

Yes, that's how Find My works.

Weird take. Lots of examples recently of municipalities taking down Flock cameras. It's not a lost cause.

What’s the safe way to handle heroin needles?

Flock, like Palantir, is the Torment Nexus from the famous novel Don’t Create The Torment Nexus. Considering the potential and demonstrated abuse there must be more robust guardrails than currently exist. The required level of safety is mor

Home Depot didn’t have CCTV and loss prevention before Flock?

Technology is a means to an end, not the end itself. If you can’t make it safe then don’t deploy it.

If you snapped your fingers and removed CSVs from the world your lights would go out within the hour and you'd starve within the week. Trillions of dollars in business are done every day with separated values files and excel computati

Another falsehood programmers believe about time. A stopped clock is only right twice a day if it is a 12 hour clock and only if it’s not set at a leap second or at a skipped time during the shift from standard to daylight time.

Bank tech sucks. I’m really surprised nobody has made a good online bank experience with no-nonsense APIs. This is a great opportunity for Motorola to partner with banks that commit to supporting their platform. The right online bank cou

I used to think like this but now I'm not so sure. Representatives should represent the electorate, not special interests. If someone invents a civilization destroying macguffin they are the most qualified person on that topic but we

This smells like funding schools based on student test results. Won't it disadvantage the most vulnerable areas? If I live in a state with some poor areas and some wealthy areas why would the most qualified people not compete to repr

It’s also weird that the productivity increases of AI lead to layoffs instead of hiring. If we can do more with AI why are companies scrambling to maintain the current output? Does leadership lack the vision of what to do with the additio

Why is 2FA so critical it’s worth proactively breaking the user? What’s the even more bad thing that would (not could) happen to the user if 2FA was not enabled?

As long as one of those points is a transit stop then yeah, robotaxis make sense. In that model you don’t need the tunnels. They make even more sense if they are a bit larger and can accommodate multiple people at once. Something like a l

In Seattle large employers still run their own private busses. This has been going on since long before the pandemic. These busses often tie in to existing transit options. They take you from the office to a neighborhood transit hub.

According to [1] Seattle doesn’t use Flock and Wilson hasn’t taken a stand either way, even on the campaign trail. [1]: https://www.theburnerseattle.com/post/mayor-elect-wilson-won...
