Flock can be a terrible unconstitutional company and this particular incident can have nothing to do with that and not be Flock's responsibility in any way. Acting like anyone who understands how true legacy ALPR systems work and how

No license plate matching system required full, exact matches to return any hits. That has nothing to do with Flock.

Well the company is an inanimate object and doesn't think anything about anything. The person you are saying that to, who almost certainly didn't make the decision that you should be laid off, may rightfully view it as someone u

Well that's just not based in reality. You might as well be saying "to me the actual price is $0 because we shouldn't have any money like Star Trek." You're certainly allowed to have that opinion, but there's n

Let's take your credit score example for a second. There's a similar argument elsewhere here but why do you think the 800+ credit score loan rate (let's say $500/mo for the sake of argument) is the base rate, and anyone

Is the "actual price" what you're willing to pay for it, or the lowest possible price you could pay based on whatever combination of membership(s) and coupon(s) is available?

OK maybe but that's a completely different thing unrelated to the point of the article or comment.

Your example is both bad and irrelevant. Two completely unrelated things can be true simultaneously.

I think maybe it's an awkward attempt at some comment on politicians being able to legally insider trade?

This is it, it's absolutely a filter beyond a certain point. I have a family member, far enough removed I'll never see any of it, that sold a business in his early 30s for something like $35-40M. Set his kids up for life with trus

Does a 3x increase followed by a 1.6% decrease really make the statement "burning more coal than ever before" a "blatant lie" in any but the most pedantic sense?

by pc86 3mo ago
It's burning 3x as much coal as it did 20 years ago and doesn't seem to be dropping at all (2024 was more than 2023, 2025 will be at least as much as 2024). Seems to be someone pretending an objective fact isn't true for reas

This only makes sense if you have to test each fix in complete isolation which seems silly even for government employees and contractor body shops. You can't batch 80 real bug fixes and 20 "silly bug with no practical impact"
