No, but likely his face biometrics are off he happens to have been captured in the video. So if they are keeping the raw video, not just the processed license plate output, they may fall under this jurisdiction.
Re:Unclogging Toilets at $400k a Flush Hits Navy’s Costs on Wednesday March 25, 2020 @01:05AM (#22682079)
Its a floating city, a floating airport, 2 nuclear reactors, supports 4500 people, and go at > 30 knots. Yeah, that comes at a cost.
Re:Teachers Quit Jobs at Highest Rate on Record on Friday December 28, 2018 @11:33PM (#18781850)
Not the OP, but my wife is a teacher and has one 50 minute prep during her day. She teaches 7 different classes. Most days the school can't find enough substitute teachers and she ends up having to sub for another class during her one prep hour.
Re:When the Soviet Union Paid Pepsi in Warships on Monday January 15, 2018 @05:58PM (#16154204)
Interesting that since the official stance of the US government is they won't disclose capabilities that this puts a wholesale ban on US Navy ships. I did not know about that. Although, it does seems to be 'thawing' [0].

> all nuclear weapons are banned

> US navy is banned from operating in NZ waters as they don't disclose what ships are nuclear powered or carrying weapons

One does not lead to the other. All of the US submarines and air craft carriers are nuclear powered (and no other ships). None of the aircraft carriers have nuclear weapons, and only the SSBN submarines can carry nuclear weapons on board. If your second statement is true (I don't know), then it is likely that NZ also is banning any nuclear powered ships; not just those with nuclear weapons.

Re:How I spent two weeks hunting a memory leak in Ruby (2015) on Tuesday September 13, 2016 @04:22PM (#12491893)
That is fantastic dedication to finding the source of the memory leak. I'm not sure I'd have quite the devotion or expertise to track that one down.
If a kid was in a baby seat in there, they (hopefully) wouldn't have left the car unattended!

I find it far more likely that the extra strength was required for the impact collisions. The other cars on the road in the US are just far larger and massive than those elsewhere, so a stronger heavier car is needed to stay safe.

It creates a bit of a Catch 22 when trying to bring down the average size / weight of a vehicle.

Re:Square vs VeriFone - Fees & Security on Thursday March 10, 2011 @06:38PM (#2311284)
Thanks for this article. I thought that Square only supported the iPhone, not Android; is this a new development?

My brother and I are looking to sell some physical products (spice mixes / dry rubs) at farmer's markets. We were going to do Cash Only, but I just ordered my Square to handle the CC processing at the markets!

Re:Poll: What OS do you currently use? on Tuesday March 08, 2011 @11:38PM (#2303817)
Use Windows 7 when doing engineering things (nearly all engineering programs are Windows only). Dual boots into Ubuntu for all my web development work.

OS X at work (Rails mostly & PHP).

I downloaded the minified version yesterday: 88kb. 1/3 the size of what you're claiming. You shouldn't be using the development version for production uses (no reason).
Re:Ask HN: Review RentPost.com on Wednesday January 26, 2011 @12:39PM (#2144048)
I've thought about doing something like this for a long while. Finally I had an apartment complex a couple years ago that allowed you to pay online (e-checks only), so maybe the industry is finally ready for this.

Expect a lot of resistance to landlords letting tenants pay with anything but e-checks, though. Think about adding something like automatically sending out emails to tenants to remind them to pay the rent (opt-in on first payment)?

Oh, and I think you might be underpricing yourself.
