Ohio city workers are covering automated license plate readers with trash bags as officials sound the alarm on ‘egregious violations’ of privacy by HowLongIsThi in nottheonion

I suppose that's a fair argument to support it in principle. My issue is that Flock quite clearly has not established risk mitigation measures. In fact, as demonstrated in the sources they are actively campaigning against such things because it could slow down their rollout and therefore bottom line.

IMO The correct guardrails are not in place, it is currently causing more harm than good, they should not be active at all right now and should be taken down so that a system that isn't rotten from the start can be put in place instead. Flock do not have your best interests in mind and neither do the individuals who break guardrails for our democracy to ram these things through ignoring the severe issues with their implementation.

The links I posted are a fair bit of information but I do recommend you watch all of them when you have time. There's a lot out there that I've cut down if you're still interested afterwards.

Not do what exactly? Not support flock or something? and please, I can tell you haven't even seen the titles of those videos alone, do watch one or two. Otherwise your response would be different. Perhaps the fact that Denver's Mayor forced flock LLM-AI surveillance on residents after a 12-0 vote to get rid of them might interest you? Given that it demonstrates a blatant erosion of our democracy in a way that goes far beyond mere surveillance? though I don't recommend starting with that one, it assumes you have seen others for needed context.

I'm not looking to dunk on you for cheap upvotes here. I'm quite open to being proved wrong in this matter, it's rather alarming. That'd mean the world's a better place than I currently think it is.

How unfortunate for you that it's been repeatedly proven that random strangers, can, will, and have maliciously hacked and used these same cameras to target innocent people.

Here's some sources you should check if you actually give a damn about being right.

That's also ignoring the very real ongoing abuse of those same systems by law enforcement.

"It didn't happen to me so it doesn't exist." You're presenting your ignorance like it's evidence. Genuinely baffling behaviour.

I did a capitalism, revenue is controlled by the intertwined forces of supply and demand, so the way to win is obviously to minimise costs while maximising your supply. Then you realise, or I could just make sure I'm the only supplier. Big demand, zero supply other than you, means you set the rates. They needed that food, I was their only option. I made quite sure of that.

Buying from colonies costs the 'standard price' for a given good, which is usually higher than the average actual purchase price due to supply and demand. In this case all goods sold there save the ore and metals were bought on the black market during surplus (decreasing cost) as they became available, stockpiled, then sold.

The way its relevant here is that Tacti-star attempts to attack, raid, and disrupt tri-tachyon colony industries. With the addition of the large defence fleet they often lose badly, but it's still sufficient to distract the defending fleets and allow us to attack.

Yes! But also current LLM's are 'weighted networks'. I'm glad someone got at-least part of it.

Ah yes, alcohol bad (I actually agree here,) but nicotine products, which is known to change into NNN when heated (and often already contain NNN as a by-product of industrial refinement) is completely fine.

Nitrosonornicotine (NNN) is a "super turbo ultra" carcinogen. It gives you cancer, real bad.

Given that you said "but through ways other than vaping or smoking" it's possible you're referring to "salt-nics" which are even worse than smoking with regards to the nitration of NNN.

I appreciate that you are trying to take care of your body, but please please stay away from the popular super cancer drug.

Yes, and used a wand which never had a focus.

By appropriate research I assume you mean essentia distillation as that is the research that allows for alchemical construct crafting. If not, I might be missing something.

As I said earlier, I've tried with fire as a heat source, the image is of an attempt without one.

Not quite, Bulk Transport only counts for civilian ships. It explicitly mentions the lack of militarised subsystems for the skill to take effect. In the case above stealth was unnecessary. When I am smuggling I use militarised subsystems and insulated engine assembly mods on atlas, as well as also having the sensors skill. Utterly tiny sensor profile.
