Last year during an interview, I made a mistake by referring to people in the DeFlock group as terrorists. I was wrong to say that, and I should have cleared this up a long time ago. That's my fault. Around the time of the interview, I was hearing reports of ALPR-avoidance apps being used (on occasion) for serious crime avoidance, and I conflated that with legitimate criticism.
Being concerned about your privacy or how your local law enforcement agency conducts its operations isn’t terrorism, it’s American. DeFlock is not a terrorist organization, it’s an open source project that has gained popularity primarily due to our inadequate response to the questions and concerns that people have about ALPR.
Over the last 8 years, nearly 7,000 towns, cities and counties in America have purchased our ALPR cameras. While these cameras have done a tremendous amount of good in those communities, the recent awareness surrounding their existence has also spiked a fair share of criticism. I think we have failed to answer these questions and concerns at scale, and we are going to do a better job of that moving forward.
I know @Rahul has banked a bunch of questions from X last week for us to answer, but feel free to reply with more here. He and I are going to do our best to catch up on these and answer them.

@jmhuckabee I remember that day well. Was a tense, crazy few hours at the capitol. Your dad conducted himself with class through it all.

Thirty years ago today, Arkansas witnessed one of the most extraordinary constitutional dramas in its history.
Governor Jim Guy Tucker, having been convicted in the Whitewater scandal, was expected to resign from office. Lieutenant Governor Mike Huckabee stood ready to take the oath and become Arkansas' next governor.
Then everything changed.
Just moments before the scheduled transfer of power, Tucker made a single phone call and withdrew his resignation.
What followed was a day of unprecedented confusion inside the Arkansas State Capitol. Attorneys rushed to interpret the Constitution, elected officials scrambled behind closed doors, reporters raced to keep up with events, and for several tense hours, no one seemed certain who was actually in charge of the State of Arkansas.
This video contains never-before-released footage captured during that historic day. Preserved for three decades, these moments are now being made public on the 30th anniversary of the events.
This teaser is only the beginning.
In the coming weeks, we'll release the complete story, featuring the raw footage, the key players, and the behind-the-scenes events that unfolded during one of the most remarkable political crises in Arkansas history.

Meta in June: NameTag "doesn't exist!"
Meta in July: NameTag is a "great feature"

Meta’s AI glasses are one of the company’s most successful products in years. They offer genuine utility, with a direct way for users to interact with its AI. But people have long been wary of smart glasses—especially when face recognition is involved. Here’s @boztank on Meta's NameTag feature, which identifies faces and alerts the glasses wearer when it detects someone they know. youtube.com/watch?v=VmQl7T… Produced by @atlanticrethink, The Atlantic's creative marketing studio.

To clarify, yes:
Many technical founders who cross 20M ARR are capable of learning how to do alpha research at Jane Street. Esp in AI era where top founders are very technical. I'll go out futher on a limb and say that I think Tony Xu, Zuck, Bezos, etc. would have succeeded at Jane Street if they chose to
On the other hand, there's no formula for building an honest-to-god 20M ARR business & many quants probably can't do it (for a variety of reasons)

@broadglow you think the founders you know are much smarter than the people who went to jane street and then millennium running pods? lmao

Johnson’s NITA appointees do not include a single transit expert. This completely unacceptable. We’re never going to fix the CTA if we continue to appoint its board on the basis of politician connections rather than expertise.

Metro Forward@wmata
With extreme heat like we’re currently experiencing, rail temperatures can soar above 135°F, which may cause bends in the rail due to thermal expansion. For years, Metro has monitored rail temps on “heat rides” to detect track issues before they happen. This year, we’re adding something new: applying reflective white paint to vulnerable segments, which lowers temps. With over 6,000 feet treated, we’re enhancing track lifespan and boosting safety and reliability! Here’s the team in action 💪
