Live in a neighborhood that privately installed cameras. The city also installed cameras. Before the camera's cars used to come and raid houses and worker's trucks. It was quite common. The neighborhood has statistics and tracks how many stolen cars / plates drove through the neighborhood. All crime statistics dropped, police show up and arrest people. Saying its an illusion of safety is bullshit. It's all fake until you're a victim of a crime. We need our own way to fight back against gangs, etc. I'd rather have more cameras and less police. Also lets get some drones as well, they work fantastic in SF. The city owns the data its not getting sold. It gets erased unless a crime is reported.

Can't imagine Boston or New York doing this. In Boston the'd end up giving the fan lifetime Dunkin Donuts or something on TV and just let him walk into the park since all of the ushers probably know him already. Dodgers are really missing the point here.

Seems like a pretty good investment. Leading EV company and 1tn +. Lots of white collar jobs.

Last I checked Google is not buying or pirating books for Google Search they just grab free data that has been provided.

In China they went and built a ton of housing, but then people don't want to live in those cities and their population has peaked up. So forcing housing solutions doesn't necessarily end well either.

Even better is to wear a mask (not to prevent virus from coming in that's silly air gets around it) but to keep your nasal passages moist during a high altitude flight. Japanese have known this for years and why they wear masks so much.

I'm wondering if someone could file HIPAA complaint at them and get these things classified as Medical Devices and shut this sharing of bio data down. A simple opt-out doesn't fly with HIPAA. It requires a signature that you will allow another person to access your medical records.

For the most part this level of microservice solves the problem of: New engineering leader comes in. New engineering Leader wants to rewrite the entire thing cause "it sucks". Business doesn't have resources to rewrite (for the nth time). New leader and business compromise to create a microservice. Rinse and repeat. Cloud/container/VM tech as really allowed this pattern to work. The art of taking over an existing codebase, keeping it going at low cost, low overhead is gone. Nobody's promo packet is fulled with sustainment work. One microservice per promotion. Etc etc.

I never dictate process to my teams, but then when i see them floundering around. "Maybe you should have a daily?" Then 2 weeks later "We had this great idea! We are going to meet daily!". If a manager is involved in Scrum its not really scrum...

Why Nerds? Let's hire people who are technically capable to do the job.

The future is here. The minimum level of knowledge to be functional in society has increased. Lazy folks who don't pick up a book or take a course like to label the capable people as nerds.
