  • OpenCV is more than capable of detecting a phone AND can easily be run on a PI with a frame rate high enough for traffic monitoring.

    How are so many people so rabidly and confidently ignorant?

    I dunno man, what made you that way?

  • Good, but also wild to prioritize this in a country that has had multiple anti-imigrant pogroms.

  • Pretty sure.that's just because Scottish policing is devolved.

  • You don’t know what the hell you’re talking about

    Lmao.

    You can literally detect phones with a raspberryPi the idea that you need to upload it to a server is ridiculous.

  • I could be wrong but pre-Flock and letting the tech-Bros actually build a survailance state, most traffic cameras were designed to only flash when they caught someone breaking the law and so only send data off the device when needed.

    How do they manage that

    For speed/red light cameras it's trivial, for something like this it's pretty easy to process on device to detect a phone in your hand/lap, but probably does need someone to check for false positives.

    Is all the image processing on device?

    It should be, this is simple to do on device (unless it's outsourced to Palantir & frens)

    How does it send the tickets

    Obviously when it triggers it uploads data.

  • Reform would have held just 15% of last year’s donations under proposed £100,00 cap, analysis shows

  • PACs are far more limited outside of the US, they are obviously a way to get around spending limits and most countries treat them as such because they aren't bound by the immutable lore of some dead Slavers.

    But yes you're correct in that they will find ways to work within the rules, so it will likely be much less effective than stoping 85% of Reform donations.

  • Because it's largely a boogie man OP invented, the network layer isn't magic, if anything OP is suggesting was being done secretly (unlike say teenagers getting better insurance rates if they put a telemetry box in their car), it would be pretty easy to detect.

  • I think this is common everywhere, but especially in the US there is the belief that there are "bad drivers" and "good. drivers" and so when speed cameras or anti-phone device catching someone that looks like them, it's obvious "collateral damage".

    In my experience there are no good drivers, everyone gets distracted sometimes, and the myth of some uniquely "bad drivers" out there allows people to self justify their distracted driving because they aren't one of the out-group.

  • This has nothing to do with Flock, these cameras catch people who are breaking a law and don't store/index footage otherwise, Flock is purely survailance tech, even if you do nothing wrong the point of flock is to survail.

  • They mark your ip, email & leave some cookies/other fingerprinting behind, buy if you restart your router, use a disposable email & use a different browser for sign up, you can get around it.

    I got a site ban for ironically supporting using pagers to kill and maim kids in an irony sub, which is extra ironic given people openly supported Israel doing so in major subreddits, but I don't think the bots the use to moderate understand irony.

  • Democrats should be taking notes, this should be day 1 stuff of the next presidency, all the people involved in blatant media corruption should be instantly fired/removed, all the dodgy mergers be reversed (if we can break up Microsoft we can break-up Paramount–Skydance, Sinclair & Nexstar) & people should be in jail by the midterms if there is any evidence of quid-pro-quo deals.

  • Debris don't need structural integrity, it's travelling around 10 times the speed of a bullet even with a small mass traveling at ~8 km/s anything it hits is fucked.

    localized debris clouds

    A low other orbit satellite travels around earth every 2 hours, any debris it generates will be similar, there is no such thing as a localized debris cloud.

    Why would so much material be in just the right altitude to cause such a dramatic effect?
