I'm sure this will somehow become a tax write-off and he'll get a significant rebate on that tax return.

Then you need someone who knows business, not a professional grifter.

This is the most DEI administration in history. Outside the head of NASA, can't think of one appointee actually qualified to do their job.

How many crimes have been committed DUE to Flock cameras? How many abuses that may not have been criminal but were unethical?

In a society that touts freedom as much as we do, the bar should be set extremely high for such a technology. Right now it's the lowest, rotten hanging fruit.

I definitely don't like the idea of having everything plugged into the internet. In this case, a key benefit to the store would be knowing someone is monitoring 24/7. If a unit shows signs of failing, the company can get a repair person dispatched before any employee at the store would even know what was going on. If a unit fails and the store itself is responsible for monitoring and scheduling maintenance, that alone could lead to food spoilage or extra labor to move all the impacted items to another freezer unit.

Again - I'm not a fan of the IoT... but from a business perspective something like this makes sense. Selling food is not a high profit margin business... just losing a bit can wipe out a day's profit on a smaller store.

I had to tell a co-worker in his mid-20s to put his phone down while pissing in the office bathroom because it was rude.

There just is no common sense. What is so damn important to scroll through for the minute you're standing there pissing in the urinal?

A false positive rate of 10% _among the population of people you arrest_ is acceptable.

I highly disagree. I can understand if Flock's data provided a 10% false positive rate, it's then up the police to do their actual job and gather other evidence to reduce that to near zero before taking any action on that data.

A 10% false arrest rate is criminal. Arrests stick with people even when their is no conviction. Maybe 1 false arrest in 1000 is acceptable in a civilized country without corruption.

I hate when someone gets away with a serious crime, but I'm not going to balance that by lowering the bar for arresting someone.

Should we accept jailing 10 innocent people to catch 90 actual guilty criminals?

If you bring beer to an AA meeting repeatedly and tell everyone how great it is, you'll probably find at least a few folks fall off the wagon.

Most will have the willpower to resist abusing but there are always a few who look for the quick fix.

Citation needed on that claim.

You should also check the wealth of God family.

Just depends where you live in the time zone. Where I am, even during standard time it's dark in the morning when the elementary kids are getting on the bus.

What is bad is the recent lack of decency, especially in politics.

Yeah, I know politics has always had a bit nasty but the turn over the last 10 or so years has extended into the general public.

Depends where your tomatoes are grown. If they come from Florida, the soil is sandy and lacks nutrients.. and that translates to quality and taste. That is in addition to the genetic breeding to volume and hardiness at the expense of flavor. That applies to just about every produce though.

TikTok probably shots to the top of the list for state income with this settlement

Trump loves AI, he wants to promote it.

During every speech he gives, every time he makes a statement as a fact, let's have multiple AI "entities" do a real-time fact check.

What better way to show how great it is than to have it provide feedback on everything he says.

You keep resulting the same nonsense.

Yes, pilots need flight hours. Navigating a slow speed, low flyover of a stadium does technically give them more time in the seat but in no way provides valid combat style training. Next you'll tell me that marching in lines to the best of a drum will keep our army battle ready. .

Flyovers are cool in the moment but quickly fade away as soon as the planes are out of sight. Only someone who lacks sanity thinks increased flyover will have a lasting impact on morale.

If you want to watch more flyovers, attend some Mets home games. Plenty of lore flying planes there thanks to LGA
