It's so the company can more easily push a firmware update that fixes the malware, obviously!

But seriously, it's so the refrigerators can be sold before the firmware is completely debugged.

Kamin and Batai, at rest.

There are already companies that will install solar panels on your house for free. It's called "solar leasing".

Or you can take the money Google pays you to lower your electricity use and buy the solar panels yourself. You might also buy an EV with V2G to provide backup power.

I don't know of anyone who thinks the UBI would replace universal healthcare or free education. Google also came up empty.

So please, name and shame!

If you actually rely on what [Jesus] is reported to have said, rather than what others have added, he comes off as a good guy (outside of a few lapses, like that fig tree incident).

Cursing a fig tree for being barren was a relatively harmless thing to do. Worse was against the moneychangers in the temple. Jesus had a nasty, violent temper.

There is no expectation of privacy in public

But there's expectation of not being stalked, and stalking is what these networked cameras do.

Or the LED headlights that flicker in your peripheral vision!

San Francisco has good mass transit, so ALPR's don't affect them as much (yet) as in car dependent cities where people don't have as much freedom in how they get around.

Someone should advise Ho and Chandler et al that Flock wants to use facial recognition to track people because that will include bicyclists and people taking mass transit!

Officers deployed a drone, which flew in from above and then began recording suspects in real time as they smashed windows and stole luggage out of a parked SUV. The police then moved in and arrested them. They can do all this, Jenkins says, "without putting innocent people in danger with dangerous police chases."

That's a good idea, but it doesn't really need Flock.

I believe any warrant for such data should exclude any data gathered before the warrant was signed by a judge.

I think it should be more like demanding to see CCTV footage (that was also taken in the past) in that you can obtain data only for specific addresses/cameras specified in the warrant. Then if there's reasonable suspicion that certain nearby cameras would also contain information pertinent to this investigation, you would go and get a warrant for data from those cameras, too. Rinse and repeat. That's how it has always been done, why does it need to be any different for Flock cameras?

So they are suing for some capability that doesn't exist and wasn't promised anyway. Or was it?

The original quote they are riffing on is "The beatings will continue until morale improves."

The originaler quote from 1961 is, "all liberty is canceled until morale improves." (page 55)

An app hosted within the police department that queries both the police department's database and also the Flock database.

If increasing their prices would make them more profitable, then wouldn't they have done that already?

Film the boots kicking it in and tearing it down

And livestream it so they can't confiscate the footage.
