The camera would have to be on private property, or someone would have to hold the camera/take shifts on a public street corner in accordance with loitering laws. Even then, they will harass and intimidate you for standing there with a camera.

Well, that's two problems. First, can we build the tech infrastructure to capture license plates? Second, what are the regulatory hurdles?

To address the location issues you raised, putting a camera in your car and parking it on the street should work.

That's exactly the case. It's been an issue for a while.

Very good reporting, but I don't think it will affect their stock price much. Their fundamental product and usability just has no equal since Apple left the consumer networking space (Some of who then founded Ubiquiti).

Their pro offerings have a lot more competition, but are still very solid for a relative newcomer.

Any real sanction enforcement would have to be politically motivated. Does Robert Pera have connections with trump? He fits the profile: young billionaire and sports team owner.

There are a LOT of posts all of a sudden about this tool which is used to create authentic fake posts on a wide variety of communities.

FDA approval remains a very rigorous process requiring clinical trials, careful labeling and risk assessment. I haven't seen any cases that seriously allege FDA approval having been "bought", even with the current admin.

They are not trying to break encryption. They got a tip-off from a private citizen who got past vetting and infiltrated the group.

Unofficial requirements state it requires 40GB+ VRAM to run smoothly.

You have to be somewhat insane to be a major SV investor. It's a lot of money with huge risks, and it doesn't pay off most of the time. For every A16Z or YC, there are 100 that burned all their raised cash on failures. It's like producing a movie. You put a lot of faith and money in the artists with a creative vision, as your own skills that raised billions of dollars don't translate to successful creative projects. Though drugs can dupe some into believing they have both.

I've seen a few drug-addled people. None of them thought ending apartheid was a bad idea. Even back when it was a new idea. But in 2026? Who the hell would think that and then say it out loud?

They recently raided a Meta datacenter. It's not black and white. There are a loft of conflicting interests at all levels.

Also see: Musk being friendly and then getting EV subsidies eliminated anyways.

Only republicans are actively destroying federal voter protections. Many red states already run elections with ridiculous voting restrictions. It's up to the federal government to discourage those practices, not encourage them. Luckily, they cannot mandate such changes.
