If you want to explore navigation I made an app: https://alprwatch.org/navigation . It works fully offline, you just need to download the maps and overlays

I made a version which does the avoidance dynamically at runtime, works for any tracks you want to use: https://alprwatch.org/navigation . It works fully offline after you download…

Different datasets. deflock.me is for ALPR locations, alpr.watch shows where local government meetings are taking place

Yup, about 100k installed vs about 40k mapped

About 40k new cameras each year from what I have seen. If you find yourself with some time, there is now a DeFlock app that helps with mapping. It also includes locations where peo…

https://eyesonflock.com/ is the closest to an actual searchable version

Give it a week and check back, the surfers are a strong community and there is public support for getting the wave back

I will be surprised if there is not a startup in the coming years that pays you to run a surveillance mining app that shares data as a way to subsidize the cost of the hardware. Th…

It is specifically Flock. For a bit of data, check around page 110 of this report on data sharing between camera operators: https://cdn.muckrock.com/foia_files/2025/07/23/JCSO_Agen…

Why accept surveillance and tracking without a narrow and well-defined scope? It is one thing to track cars for estimating traffic velocity, it is another entirely to create a nati…

Possible, but there are plenty of instances of that sort of layout. One way to cross-correlate is to pull 811 records. This map overlays the Deflock data with 811 locations: https:…

I track the installation and use of ALPR systems: https://alprwatch.org/

An app to screen properties based on your own esoteric criteria. Things like, "I want to have a balcony facing south, looking at a park." Then you can send a list of suitable prope…

Where do you turn for a variety of opinions, activities, and social interactions over the long term? There is incredible value in growing alongside people over a period of time and…

Absolutely not an exaggeration. I have encountered masters students who balked at the idea of opening a file in Python, despite that ostensibly being their language of choice for a…

https://www.theoldreader.com Great reader, I have been using it since Google Reader went away.

One of the big changes was to make many basic tools into lazy iterators instead of greedy lists (map, filter, range, etc.). I can remember having to teach my fellow scientist/engin…

That depends heavily on the organization. Our works council technically approves hires but realistically has little influence on most decisions

So collect the data? In Germany it is standard to classify workers based on marital and child status[0] [0] https://neotax.eu/en/blog/tax-classes-steuerklassen-in-germa...

It partly arises as a mechanism to pay per case, not just per visit. For example, if we put all payment for a breast cancer treatment into the first visit, there is now an incentiv…

And yet it is one of the few places where it is mandatory to have your name on the publicly-facing postbox in order for mail to arrive. The privacy sentiment here is all over the p…
