This was exactly my thought. They want to turn off the money incinerators to juice their numbers and get that sweet IPO money.

Why not a screen or cover for your license plate that activates and obscures it when within a certain distance of any known Flock camera. Make it appear as to be something innocent, e.g. mud, so it looks like an accidentally obscured tag.

Talking about that game, which I played at a friend's house when it was released, right after the 60th anniversary, is a great way to make me feel old AF.

Incorrect. Anyone past my current decade is old. Anyone younger than my decade is just a kid.

Oh someone should definitely name a model Dalek.

If we're open to reducing it to one annoying icon, how about none.

Years playing 3d games and could probably still play DOOM from memory.

Of course this could all just be a self selection process, where innate spacial memory make you more likely to be a successful, long term taxi driver as well as prevent Alzheimers.

Probably going to run up against a very broad interpretation of "vandalism". They can fake up monetary losses even if there is no permanent damage.

Well I call it a lab supply store, not the "chemical store". Just amusing to imagine a store with a big sign out from thar says "Chemicals", especially because literally everything is made of chemicals, so the store could sell anything.

Why not, it's working. AI so powerful even the great billion-dollar AI company can't contain it. Who wouldn't want to invest in that?!

Chemical store?

Hate to sounds like Reddit, but... "this".

The difference is that you can chase off the creeper or call the cops, whereas you cannot do the same with state sanctioned flock cameras. I would suggest that instead of vandalizing them, you just block the view with something, perhaps even with a photo of the area they are observing.

Underpay? $1200 for two guys to spend 3 hours replacing 12 feet of gas pipe that I could have done myself if the government didn't require a licensed install?

I don't trust the NYT to not be duped by marketing on this topic. I've seen very intelligent people, who are knowledgeable about many other things, not know squat about cryptography and fall prey to bad information.
