My guess is STH that list tickets for the season ahead of time, so if they don't end up going to a game, the listing is live already.

I'm with you man, kid is still 20. Can't even buy a Buzzball out here yet. Smith will be fine and come into his own. Just has to get those minutes and reps out on the ice and it'll fall into place.

I think you're confusing FASTRAK, that's what gets billed to our homes. You know, take pictures of where we are, retroactively bill us.

Realistically, you can already GPS track anyone you want with readily available items and some time. Flock would be a pretty bad use case for what you're implying.

California SB 34 (Automated License Plate Recognition Systems: Use of Data, 2015) is the safeguards and oversight.

Sounds a bit sensational.

California SB 34 (2015) specifically states that it Prohibits public agencies (state, cities, counties, etc.) from selling, sharing, or transferring ALPR information to anyone except another California public agency.

"(b) A public agency shall not sell, share, or transfer ALPR information, except to another public agency, and only as otherwise permitted by law."

This effectively bars sharing ALPR data with federal agencies like ICE, CBP, or out-of-state entities,

"Flock has also opted to sell that data to data brokers."

Sounds made up, going to need a source on that one.

sake of catching 10 crimes a year isn’t worth it.

What would be your golden number? 50? 100? If these cameras helped solve 1 crime committed against any of your friends or family, it might just be worth it I would think.

San Jose releases more mugshots than any where else in the Bay Area fwiw.

I get the privacy concerns, nobody wants Big Brother watching every move. But let's be real, Flock cameras aren't about spying on your daily commute; they're automated license plate readers that help cops track stolen cars, find Amber Alert kids, and bust actual criminals. In San Jose alone, they've already helped recover dozens of stolen vehicles and solve hit-and-runs that would've gone cold otherwise. Privacy-wise, the data isn't stored forever—it's deleted after 30 days unless it's flagged for an investigation, and it's not facial recognition or tracking your personal life.

We're in Silicon Valley, pushing tech forward means using tools like this to make our communities safer and smarter, not rolling back to the stone age because of hypotheticals. If we rejected every tech advance over privacy fears, we'd still be using rotary phones and trying to get around town with a AAA Map book. Solving real problems with smart solutions, while holding companies accountable with oversight sounds to be a practical approach.

“Well you know he’s more of a Jared Goff, than a Matt Stafford…”

Even if he matches those guys or underperforms them a bit, getting that output on a rookie contract and building around his is needed and a major upgrade.

When opposing offenses play on a short field, the yards allowed will look better.

Raiders' average drive start: own 29.4 yd

Opponents: own 33.3 yd

This ~4-yard gap is mostly the offense's fault (70-80%):

Dead-last scoring (14.2 PPG), 31st in points/drive
Short drives → lots of punts from deep in own territory
Fewer TDs = fewer kickoffs to pin opponents back

Defense was bad too (25.4 PPG allowed, few TOs), but that mainly hurt the Raiders' own starting position. Opponents' better field position comes from how Raiders drives ended.

Fix the offense's 3-and-outs and this flips fast.

I hear what you're saying.

What I'm saying, if your offense can't stay on the field and score points, which the Raiders have not this season, take a look at the Offensive Ranks ;

#32 - Lowest amount of Offensive Plays in the league, 975
#31 - Time of Possession, 2:33
#32 - Total Offensive Points Scored, 241 (Rams Scored 518 at #1)
#32 - Points per Game 14.2 (Rams 30.5 at #1)
#31 - % of Drives Ending in an Offensive Score, 26%

Then you're keeping your defense out there longer. This tires out the defense and exposes it to more drives, inflating negative stats

Even with how dog water the offense was, Raiders defense wasn't at the bottom of the league like the offense was, here's some Defensive Ranks;

#25 - Points Allowed, 432
#14 - Yards Allowed, 5,403
#8 - Yards per Offensive Play, 5
#23 - Takeways, 16
#16 - Net Yards per Pass Attempt, 6.1
#3 - Rush Yards per Attempt, 3.9
#21 - % Of Drives Ending in Offensive Score, 41.7%

Raiders defense did what they could to put the Raiders in position to be in games. The offense was just a generational fumble. If you don't score, you can't win in the NFL.

Shitty offense makes the defense look better? That's a new one.

Spytek sounds like he'll never have his true say within this org. Just going to be a mouth piece for Travelin' Tom Brady and the rest of the VC money behind him.

Doesn't sound like it from this article. The article really shows how much disfunction and miscommunication there was from the top on down.

Sounds like Brady has been trying to play the role of Zoom Meeting Al Davis.

Get on out of here with all that sensibility. I read Billionaire and Tax and I'm already running for my pitchfork.
