Re:Facial Recognition Leads To False Arrest Of Black Man In Detroit
on Wednesday June 24, 2020 @01:23PM (#23630967)
It is not clear to me that the person who identified him was shop owner or clerk. From the nyt article: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/24/technology/facial-recogni...
"The Shinola shoplifting occurred in October 2018. Katherine Johnston, an investigator at Mackinac Partners, a loss prevention firm, reviewed the store’s surveillance video and sent a copy to the Detroit police"
"In this case, however, according to the Detroit police report, investigators simply included Mr. Williams’s picture in a “6-pack photo lineup” they created and showed to Ms. Johnston, Shinola’s loss-prevention contractor, and she identified him. (Ms. Johnston declined to comment.)"

Do we have any idea what Netflix activity qualifies for the Federal or California R&D tax credits?
Would Netflix OSS meet the Seven Tests for Internal Use Software [1] to qualify for the R&D Credit? Or is it likely to be something else? Is this information public?
