Assuming a perfect system this still fails because you have now locked in all the law abiding citizens with someone who has proven they are ready to break the rules, effectively inventing a hostage situation out of thin air whereby a miscreant can terrorize their fellow passengers for the duration of the police response time.


The spiel is to do things you can get away with. You don't know if the other passengers are law abiding citizens. There is no way to tell how they respond when locked up with you.


No need to lock the doors. If you have facial recognition anyway, can just nab the misbehaver later.


I believe they don't keep the recordings for long if no arrests are made. It certainly seems like a good idea to not create data sets that are open for abuse later.


This is a legacy design decision all the way back to iOS 1 before notifications existed. SMS messages used to be delivered through the same modal system. I believe the Apple ID and update messages are now banner notifications, and the battery alert gives you an easy way to turn on Low Power Mode, although I agree there should be a way to make that a banner notif as well.


It is all downstream of the loss of the manufacturing industry in America. In the 50s you could entrust a random guy to build a liquid rocket engine in a dusty garage because he spent every day of his career building various pipes and combustion chambers. All of these guys are now dead or retired so when you try to build hardware today you get new grads who settle on LIDAR and computer vision not because it is the best choice but because it is literally all that they are familiar with; the old solutions have all ceased to exist within the minds of employees and classrooms.


This is clearly intended for use in web applications so a JS runtime comes for free and the package is only 8.2kb


Hey, this is great! Could you make it so clicking on the video ID in the bottom right corner opens the full video in a new tab? It would be nice to be able to like / save the whole video for later. Kinda like DVR.


At long last: A way to write web apps in Python while preserving the un-Googleable naming conventions of JavaScript frameworks


Awesome, so in addition to confusing aircraft and sending them in the wrong directions, Putin can also stop everyone from driving in Europe whenever he feels like it.


That essay also loosely inspired the opening scene of Lord of War, which showcases the journey of a bullet from an underground mine to an Eastern European factory all the way into the head of an African child soldier.


Loved that scene. Reminds me of all the "autobiography" stories we had to write for various items such as cars, horses, computers and pens, back in school.


Wait till you find out about diesel generators!


I also wrote a Swift CLI that wraps over the Vision framework: https://github.com/nexuist/seev

Text extraction is included (including the ability to specify custom words not found in the dictionary) but there are also utilities for face detection, classification, etc.
