But at least it makes that request for access a matter of public record. That will put a stop to police stalking with the use of Flock data for their own personal gain.

"the data." Whose data is it actually? I consider that information concerning what I'm doing or where I am still belongs to me. Even when observed by someone (or something) else. I can make a copy of Disney's latest Blu-ray disc. But it's still their property and I'm not free to distribute it as I see fit.

The same thing holds true for person's actions witnessed by another. I can't be expected to bear witness as if that person has no interest in my observation. There are mechanisms in place to compel me to do so should these actions be in the public interest. Specifically, a court subpoena.

Like maybe a case number?

They can tell if you've been bad or good
so be good for goodness sake!

Used cars keep the new car markets in check to a degree. Now, if only there was a way to get those used cars off the market ...

The raccoon caused one power outage affecting 2500 customers.

He can't keep getting away with this!

We caught a guy who was setting fires over here. In large part due to video surveillance.

More Flock cameras is the answer.

It's all about perception. Higher price means product has more value. Gotta have one now!

Calculated with Excel.

Yes. But a large part of that is the difficulty in retrofitting it to their older buildings. In the USA, we have a large installed base of forced air heating. Which can be upgraded to a heat pump. Also, we (USA) have more stand alone single family dwellings. So remodeling or even piping in split systems is easier. And with a heat pump, you not only get more efficient heat, but A/C as well.

Completely different applications. Refrigerators/freezers are self contained and much smaller than an entire house. And they prevent food spoilage. A much more serious problem than hot weather.

So sad. Particularly since this can be easily prevented with birth control.Safe, legal and rare.

It was Clinton that said abortion should be "Safe, legal and rare."

But do they really? They have greater mass. But the Schwarzschild radius is (sort of) defined by that distance from an object's center where the escape velocity is equal to the speed of light. And that is what we think about when we say "gravity". So this value should be the same at the "surface" of every black hole.

If this is the case, then the effects occuring near this surface would be the same for all black holes, given an identical height above it. And given that, we would have trouble picking apart a redshift due to extreme distance (Hubble) from that caused by events close to that surface (gravitational red shift).

So if we can't really tell how far away it is, we can't reliably estimate its energy level.
