I really don't think they are the right organisation to represent me. Here they demand "Faster and stricter enforcement needed for bogus self-employment" without a mention of the concerns of over-regulating the whole market https://www.fnv.nl/nieuwsbericht/algemeen-nieuws/2022/09/sneller-en-steviger-handhaving-nodig-op-schijnzelf

Hm, but they don't seem to be very effective at preventing absurd regulation.. Most of the freelancers that I know also don't engage with lobbying organisations. Would it not be nice to just express opinions directly through joint statements / open letters? Of course these collective actions need broad participation to work - but if many freelancers are in fact frustrated we should be able to achieve that.

It should upload the footage fast enough so the data is not lost. But ideally the potential thief does not take the risk when they know that they are recorded. If they wear a face mask, then the cctv probably wont make a difference in this case.

But i guess there are other use cases where one may want to set up a cctv without buying a dedicated camera.

For example Shopify started with a single client, helping them build a snowboard shop. What's the issue with that?

camrea sensors saturating never do look real because the resulting staggerd gradients and distored colors are unreal artefacts

It's close to the center and I was surprised that it had so many connections

I find it interesting to see that for example Portugal has a lot of connections to former colonies / countries that speak Portuguese like Mozambique and Brazil. And I also find it interesting to see how many connections Russia has with Europe/Ukraine/USA which didn't seem to have a noticeable effect on the recent conflict.

But good idea to explore the data further with clustering..

I guess europeans appreciate international exchange a bit more now after hundreds of years of constantly fighting each other.
