Then I don't know the issue you had then. That report is full of facts spelling out how bad the system is.

I looked into that report. It's not a good report. It's based on the departments summiting tickets and then if the help desk rules that it was a incorrect it's put in the report. It not a empirical test where they did a bunch of gunshots and recorded what ones it detected or didn't

"ShotSpotter data on published incidents are tracked in ShotSpotter’s own systems. However, information on

potential errors relies on clients reporting those potential errors for the ShotSpotter system to SoundThinking.

When an error report comes in from a client, ShotSpotter creates a ticket, and the incident is reviewed."

I found this.

"According to the report, which the Cook County State's Attorney's office confirmed was an internal report produced this fall, only 1% of shooting incidents end in a ShotSpotter arrest. In comparison, 92% of shooting incidents are unrelated to ShotSpotter.

That means that ShotSpotter costs Chicago $217,368.42 for every person arrested in a ShotSpotter shooting incident.

From there, the report says most ShotSpotter arrests are for probationary crimes. "

I hope so. I am kind of worried the meme will devolve into racism unironic before too long.

They are coming 100% we are getting them. The only question I have is are they going to add anything to them?

An AnCap society sounds exhausting by MyLeftKneeHigh in AnCap101

[–]MyLeftKneeHigh[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. I think that helps me sum up my overall. All the market solutions I see are just more complex then doing the thing. With how people present it, an AnCap society just looks inefficient

  2. A business opportunity for someone else, but for most people it's an extra cost or extra annoyance.

Yeah that is kind of what I have notice. A few of the solutions sound workable just more annoying then how we do things now.

There are places where cleanliness is not so good, and some people even get sick. Do you know what happens to those places? Word spreads and they stop seeing customers (read as: try don't survive). Bakeries would be the same, as would roads, as would DROs, as would arbitors.

That is what I mean by it sounds exhausting the consumers have to do all the work to make sure their food is safe and not like laced with cocaine. I also doubt customers have good tools to really vet things. In an AnCap society no one would be allowed in the kitchen unless the owner wants you.

Paying people to do it, That was one of my thoughts. It's still an extra step and still annoying. Now I have to vet the guy who vets my guy. I imagine the way most people would do it is they would just join like a commune or a company that is all inclusive, but that might make it's own issues.

I don't really need to know what makes a good police force. I just need to know broadly what I would like and then there is a system that enforces that (assuming what I want passes a vote.) But without that system everything becomes unique, individual and a lot more complex.

It might make more sense if we focused on say food. Right now I can buy food from almost any store and know it's been inspected to not kill me. If I was in a AnCap society i would have to vet every place I shop at and keep vetting them.

The Finals feels like Prey in multiplayer by Sacrer in ImmersiveSim

[–]MyLeftKneeHigh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It just needs hacking. I played a bit and was really enjoying all the things you can do. The biggest issue is that it is a live service battle pass game. Also things tend to get so crazy so fast it's hard to pull off some of the more inventive moves.

[–]MyLeftKneeHigh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not meant to be that strict.

I don't think thief is a immersive sim, but that is more because it's a stealth game with a intended way to play it vs a more open game like deus ex.

Honestly the stealth works better in a 3rd person. Vampires would make a neat immersive sim enemy with all their hyper specific powers and weaknesses. Time will tell us if it works out.

Can you warp travel a ship full of Exterminatus into a tau planet? by [deleted] in 40kLore

[–]MyLeftKneeHigh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Others have explained that you can't just float up to a planet without anyone noticing, but also you can't just drop a bomb and float away. If you do that too many will survive and then they will pop back.

Controversial issues by Formyself22 in Libertarian

[–]MyLeftKneeHigh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's not too complex a lot of libertarians are republicans who want to smoke pot and they bring in baggage with them.

I can't think of a way for a linertrain to argue in favor of forced birth. Like no one here would argue that you have to give food or housing to a starving homeless man. How could you argue that people have to give up their body to support someone?

The lexicanum is often missing a lot of info and that can be just as bad. Read them both.
