They aren’t better cars if they are disposal items like phones and most electronic devices.

High end ICE cars have long been treated as disposable items. 3 year lease and then resell for 1/2 of its initial price so suddenly it’s cheaper than new midrange models for good reasons.

Lower end cars on the other hand can be worth 3/4th of their initial value 5 years out, that’s a durable good.

They last longer than ICE cars.

Does road death mean car accident death or pedestrians or both?

Shrodingers dead person. You don't actually know until you know what policy position you're gonna use the dead guy to advance.

Usually road deaths is all deaths and pedestrians get split out as a sub category. Primary sources and academic papers are typicaly good. Analysis thereof almost always has a policy it's trying to advance and will frequently mix and match to that end. Internet comments are worse still.

I’ve heard the same thing since 1999 and yet many of us on HN graduated high school or college in the 2000s/2010s and have been employed for decade(s) with successful careers.

I’m the opposite too much noise and commotion in the office. Lots of people to talk to and others that stop by. WFH was much more efficient for me, even with distractions like interesting things at home and wife/kids.

See, I do remember that when I was in the office pre-COVID. It was annoying.

The thing is, though, is most days, it's just me and my manager working at the office. Pretty much all of my teammates are in India, or are somewhere else in the US/CAN. We do have an intern but he's not here most days. As a result, it's basically me driving to the office to host meetings with people who, unless they buy plane tickets, cannot come by my desk to bother me.

So I've got that part of it going for me, which is nice.

No, they send them back to china to put them in the retail box.

Remora are very weird fish and I hate catching them. The only fish that are in the same family are Cobia. They look similar and ride along with manta rays and sharks but I’m not sure if they have the sucking power of Remora.

The city I used to live in trialed flock cameras for car theft. They caught more car thefts in January of the trial year than the previous year’s total.

We started hoping that car thefts would be a pressure point for a lot of violent crime (which tends to be committed from stolen cars --- this is the Kia problem). But we caught more innocent drivers with stale entries on the Illinois LEADS hotlist than actual stolen cars. When we OK'd the system after its pilot, it was on the condition that we no longer curb cars based on stolen car reports at all --- we'd only curb them based on stolen license plates (which have no innocent explanation).

Maybe other states are different for this, but in Chicagoland, unless you don't care about disproportionately harming Black motorists, using Flock for stolen car enforcement was a flop.

The lesson I keep getting from your experiences is that LEADS needs an overhaul.

It turns out other states do have flags for things like "extraditable warrant" vs. just failure to appear warrants (something mentioned in previous discussions), and perhaps something could be done about the LEADS system if attention was given to it. It seems like fixing one's data sources is a great approach vs. tossing the baby out with the bathwater — unless of course that's the intention all along, as it is with many opposed to state-owned surveillance of this nature.

When you fix LEADS, let me know, and I'll be happy to revisit.

Don't improve anything until you can fix everything! No incremental improvements allowed!

I have no idea what this has to say with anything that I said. Did you see me saying "no, don't fix LEADS"?

This is not exactly an unbiased forum to discuss this matter since Flock is a YC backed program, but what do you think will happen in short order? Maybe that car thieves will simply slap on fake license plates to get out of the area?

What you’re left with then, is nothing but the tyrannical and even treasonous mass surveillance program to know where you go and when all your life, even when you leave your tracking device phone behind and use a tracking device free vehicle.

Nobody cares that Flock is a YC company. I'd be surprised if most YC batch members even realized off the top of their head that Flock is YC. YC companies get criticized all the time on HN, including by people who have done YC.

Yes, you can get the vaccine but you only have days/weeks to do it.

That’s not been my experience. My flex has been rock solid and it’s outside.

Same, works great on my end, not seeing any poor experience like this.

Try to tag a vlan on a port and pass some heavy udp traffic through it.

I'm a "big tagger", and I have no problem with it. I don't control the type of traffic going through it, though; from my understanding, TCP/UDP wouldn't make much of a difference?

Well, what can I say, fails for me in this scenario. Maybe the NICs on the other end matter too, but I experienced same issues on 4 different desktops with both 2.5gbit Realteks and 10gbit AQtions.

All the Flex swithes I tried glitched: USW-Flex-Mini, USW-Flex-2.5G-5 (frame drops and interface going down for several seconds) and (to lesser extent, just frame drops) USW-Flex.

Have no idea why but I observed that more under UDP loads.

So did the EU intelligence agencies and governments. You just route traffic through your neighbor so they spy for you and you do the same for them.
