Does the city pay for exclusive use of the data? Or can Flock contract with other entities and provide a feed?
We've seen enough stories about national government misuse of these camera feeds to assume there's no "exclusive access" provision in these contracts.
Chinese companies learn from the best (us). And they are only responding to demand. The blame for low-quality goods cannot be placed on China. The blame is squarely back here at home because low-quality, cheap goods are exactly what the American market is demanding, and demanding big time (Temu and Shein are wildly popular).
I'm old enough to remember when Japanese products had this exact same reputation. I'm really surprised at how short-term some people's memories are - especially a lot of our leaders, who are old enough to also remember it.
In our department, the vast majority of our staff do 90% of their work in a web browser. A handful use a separate email program (Outlook, unfortunately), but most are in Gmail. They also occasionally use MS Office, but that software's crappy interface is equally bad regardless of platform. So I have a hard time believing switching them to Macs or Linux boxes would have any deleterious impact on their productivity, except perhaps in the very short term as they learn the OS' interface.
And, since we do have a number of users on Macs already... it's not as if our desktop admins would be dealing with an unfamiliar management setup.
Our group's desktop admins are considering making this switch right now, actually. It's got nothing to do with "increasing productivity", it comes down to per-unit costs plus positive experiences with those staffers who are already on Macs. The group has been long-time Dell customers on the Windows side, and what I'm hearing from them is that Dell's business laptops have gotten more expensive than the equivalent Macs. FWIW they have various reasons they've rejected Dell's competitors in the Windows space.
They're just opening the doors wide for cheap Chinese memory, which will come,
... and (assuming this happens prior to 2029) then it will get banned in America. But at least other countries will be able to buy it.
Given she was guilty of Driving While Black, it's somewhat surprising they didn't shoot her during one stop or the other.
So put your pearls down, this just resets the clock.
Hopefully that's also how you feel as well about the $100 billion in refunds of Trump's tariffs, which were ordered by the Supreme Court - not a problem, just resets the clock. But it certainly didn't seem to be how Trump felt about that.
but then other laws essentially blocked their ability to actually build the wind power there
"other laws" = Trump executive orders
Americans deserve an energy system built on common sense and not one dependent on "costly subsidies."
Costly subsidies... like $1.2 billion?
I almost added a comment to that previous post about my own tendency towards pedantry... so I totally get it.
Or perhaps a Futurama quote would've been better, e.g. "You are technically correct. The BEST kind of correct."
It seems pretty obvious that when most people use a phrase like "insider trading" in this context, what they are really referring to trades motivated by access to insider information - not the straightforward trading by company insiders that you mention.

Sorry, but you can only have Orion women OR Hortas... not both.
But green Hortas would be allowed.
According to Nielson, yes: "OTA homes represented 14.5% of U.S. TV households"
And they probably skew overwhelmingly into the elderly demographic.
Hey, I'll be happy if ALL of the web ads transition to "viewable by AI only". They're not gonna impact me, in that case...
It was to pay my final bill of $0.01 (not kidding)
They used to have decent phone support, but for the last couple years at least it's been actively horrible. As in "getting a root canal without anesthetic" horrible. We stuck with them for a while, but seriously - you do occasionally need to contact support, and it's hard to imagine how ANY company could have worse phone support people than T-Mobile does right now.
We're trying out US Mobile, an MVNO, right now. I gotta say their support people are a clear step above T-Mobile's.
