In America? Because they’re not in power, these cameras are making the rich richer, and have failure rates they don’t like. Or they hate America.

Remember, they support the surveillance state of China. Mass surveillance is not what they have a problem with at all.

Correct.

But an entity like an HOA is much more likely to care about something being illegal than me thinking that it is bad for society.

I have a web browser, was able to view the contents of the post that way.

I was asking a friend of mine who leans more on the pro-Flock side of things and he said that Flock cameras are generally constitutional so long as they’re only covering public property.

Covering a pool on private property seems to be illegal, unless something in the lease would have granted consent for that level of surveillance.

sighs Okay, I guess I’ll download ANOTHER version of Qwen onto my computer.

I tried reading this article and was so confused by its brevity until I realized that it’s just paywalled lol

This is so cool

You think this issue just fell out of a coconut tree?

PBS had quite a lot of time before the 2024 Trump administration to get this figured out, and they didn’t.

I’ve heard rumors that Axon is pouncing on Flock’s bad PR and wants to take a chunk out of their business. A few towns have already switched from Flock to Axon.

Flock’s tech is more advanced than most other technologies out there, which is why it’s sparked so much concern. If Axon can demonstrate that they’re better, though, localities will go with them instead.

I wonder what sort of good faith arguments one could make in favor of Flock. It’d be one thing if it was effective and worked properly, but it seems like it doesn’t.

One could argue that these cases are rare, but frankly, image recognition technology has improved so much over the past several years that it’s actually hard to understand why Flock tech makes as many mistakes as it does.

I’ve never understood how watermarking text works.

That’s kinda how firings work lowkey

Who the heck had the bright idea to post this to Hacker News?

It should be illegal in all cases unless it’s necessary to prevent or get rid of a life-threatening medical condition for the mother.

Human beings who haven’t done anything don’t deserve to be killed.

Thanks! I don’t get that often on here TBH.

Edit: The civility, not the disagreements, lol

When it comes to political policy stances, I’m pro life, support limited/small government, am fiscally conservative, support capitalism, oppose crime, and am a pretty big fan of constitutional rights like the first and second amendment.

Dude I’m trying lol but it’s so hard

What?

I lean right, but this is ridiculous, I’m sorry. First of all, this isn’t ICE’s job. The FBI should be digging into this, not ICE, perhaps with the help of the CIA if they suspect international involvement with voter fraud.

Second of all, why the heck are we paying Reuters to find the fraud instead of finding it ourselves? That sounds fraudulent in and of itself!

I don’t get why they felt like they needed to lie. Their technology is impressive and it works.
