French? I was impressed by:

Yellow vests knock out 60% of all speed cameras in France

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-46822472


Would be nice, but we (in France) have plenty of cameras already. They may not be branded Flock, but they're there nonetheless. And as far as I'm aware, none of them are ablaze.

This story isn't related this issue at all. This was about a fuel tax, not actually about the cameras themselves

Yes rather it was an example of action rather than words

Security teams for asset discovery likely. Run a periodic search to discover anything you didn’t know about. It used to be simpler when you’d have “your” ip ranges but now you could suddenly be leaking PII on all sorts of big tech hosted services.


The way the documentary never questioned their sales guys claims felt naive


is this true for medical use cases where it’s primarily for imaging? i.e. echocardiogram or pregnancy scans


You do have to question why representatives of the people have not managed to address this


My insurance says ambulance rides are covered 100%. Apparently most are out of network though, which the people have no choice of choosing (obviously).

I was sent a post insurance $8000 bill. After months and months of arguing they said it was an error on their side and dropped the charge. Absolutely ridiculous


got any more links for info on these?



There’s a funny amount of beef around using it in art, you have Anish Kapoor who bought exclusive rights to use Vantablack artistically and man of the people Stuart Semple offering his versions Black 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 getting ever blacker.


I saw a few of these black Anish Kapoor sculptures. The experience was worth the cost. The brain has a hard time processing it.


Well, you've not actually seen the sculptures per se, only a missing area of the visual background, shaped like outline of the sculptures.


True! One can walk around and then observe some of the shape. They were behind glass. So no touching, which means there was some unresolved ambiguity.


Semple's humorous long-form performance art, pillorying Kapoor, while developing a menagerie of new pigments, is much more interesting than Kapoor's sculptures.

Anyone could have made at least the same with the given material, and a more talented artist could stun, but sadly they are not allowed to because contract.


Which is all a dumb marketing stunt because it was never a pigment artists could paint with anyway.


People have made art with the stuff.


I’m not saying otherwise, but look at how it has to be applied to an artwork.


"The paint is sold through Semple’s brand, Culture Hustle, and remains explicitly unavailable to Anish Kapoor or his affiliates"


your class C adolescent has been identified as being an eligible kidney donor for a Class B worker, congratulations! please book into your nearest hospital within 2 days


At the end of the day what will win is not the society that will supress such technologies harder but one that is able to walk this fine line with benefiting from it without day descending into this


This dystopian thought is wrong learning from dystopian fiction.

I know it felt clever writing it, surely many found it clever cynicism, but in no way does it reflect real life kidney donations.


to call this outcome unrealistic, now or in the future seems incorrect as there is already a thriving pay for kidney trade.

it’s fair to say there would be great advances from such a programme, I’m personally in favour of medical surveillance generally for this reason but you have to be realistic about outcomes


This could be customized to each child, a primer if you will, you could call it “a young lady’s illustrated primer” for the girls


well i am backtesting a pre-context engine written in typescript for storytelling, and so far i think the pdf and mp3 content is very good. Though i only limit it to certain writer style like jane austen or stan lee
