> They also say the system generated alerts for “rough sleepers and beggars” at the station’s entrances and claim this allowed staff to “remotely monitor the situation and provide the necessary care and assistance.”

ah yes I love using technology to better deny the most vulnerable people a place to sleep.

Agreed. It's very clear whose interests this article aims to protect.
Does anyone know how well it handles fullscreen applications like games? Would be nice to not tab out but switch to another workspace.
The medications you're taking are a vastly different level of private than your income or where a flight goes. I think that's pretty obvious

Drones are roughly as loud as a gas powered leaf blower [1]. I bet the hype is going to die real quick when people realize how annoying the noise is. Or at least I hope. Drones are cool but imagining the high-pitched whine of a even a few of these at all times gives me a headache.

it wouldn't be too hard I don't think. It's a sealed tube so any attempts to get in could be detected with accelerometers or microphones.

what are you using to run this code-wise? I was thinking of making something similar.
Any idea if this will be visible from the ground anywhere? I've been searching online to no avail.

It's the same exact thing where YouTube is promoting pedophilia. These systems are content agnostic and will give you what it thinks you will click on. If somehow people really really liked videos about the number 27, then if you click on one video it will start showing you more. It seems to me that it's a fundamental part of what these systems are. It's nigh impossible to say "do this but keep the bad stuff out" unless you have human moderation. I'm certainly not saying these companies aren't culpable. It just seems weird to talk about individual cases in abstraction like Instagram is going out of it's way to promote self harm.

>The suspicious use of noncompetes as a pure power play came to light when the fast food joint Jimmy Johns was discovered to have forced their sandwich makers to promise not to go to another fast food restaurant. It is not credible that they were taking JJ secrets to McDonalds. But the action froze JJ workers in searching for a better job. Surprisingly, the courts said it was legal, but JJ settled and stopped using them.

This is so fucked
