Home depot and lowes have contract with Flock, as an example.

In New Orleans, a private rogue network of surveillance camera has been erected in reaction to a too constraining live facial recognition ban.

I think it would be much harder to stop.

You could be more pointed than that. French secret service "leveraging" Palantir is a disgrace , we all know who is leveraging who and its a plain shame.

Can you expands on the cool part of LSP support ? I"m curious and "on paper" it sounds desirable but I'm unclear on the pluses

The wealthiest people I know are philanthropist that spend their day on zoon meetings to decide who get the grant. A couple of time a week someone arrange a visit for them to check on "things are going" on the trenches.

They also spend a lot of time on the phone strategizing with other folks like them. --

But that's not a contest!I'm sure your rich people are richer than my rich people. --

If we were looking at a formal definition, my naive approach would be to use the median income, add the revenue of assets, and add a 20% to that ?

I'm sure the field of sociology could help be more formal here. --

Here I was talking specifically about French folks, where access to remote work and living in the inner city are strongly correlated with higher income.

No. Rich people zoom in to work and take a stroll to the market on Saturday morning, and they enjoy tapas a the quaint Bistro on the bank of the seine.

Driving is for plebes

As a resident of this city. The clean air is one thing. EV could give us that and offset the pollution where the batteries are made and recycle.

But the main gain, as someone paying taxes there: is the reclaim of public space for human to enjoy.

Its a cliché to say that Paris is pretty and its so much more enjoyable on a stroll along the bank of the seine that on a freeway at 20 miles/h. ( that freeway was permajamed )

Yeah well. That's what we've been doing to other industries over and over.

I remember a cinema theater projectionist telling me exactly that while I was wiring a software controlling numeric projector, replacing the 35mm ones.
