Counter point - I live in a major-ish city in which our police force isn't as strong as the surrounding suburbs so I don't mind a few extra eyes on the streets. My kids like to explore the neighborhood and I like a little extra peace of mind.

Police having unlimited access to spy and creep on my children would give me the opposite of peace of mind.

I am interested to hear why the cameras give you peace of mind? I'd be curious to know what situation you imagine where these cameras help protect you or your family from any harm.

An event in which something happens and I have no record, such as robbery or violence within my home or neighborhood. It feels like the suburbs around us insulate themselves from crime. It gives me the feeling that if there are repetitive criminals in my neighborhood we might be able to track them down or prevent it from happening again.

I can't reply to the [dead] comment, but cameras don't deter the bad drivers where I live.

Also, cameras can't pull over a bad driver.

Also, I highly doubt a car is in the camera's frame long enough, that the camera could even detect if there is bad driving going on.

The other day somebody sped through my neighborhood ignoring all red lights and lane markers. It would be cool to deter this behavior before somebody gets hurt. The police aren’t patrolling 24/7.

It would indeed be cool to deter that kind of stuff; I agree.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. And I think it's fair to say that deterrence works similarly to prevention, in this context.

How does the presence of Flock cameras serve to deter (or prevent) the kind of behavior you describe?

Or, as a corollary question: How does the absence of Flock cameras serve to encourage it?

People generally underestimate the amount of damage to morale and civic pride the lack lack of police enforcement causes. People see people speeding and driving recklessly, vandalism, littering, and violent crime with impunity.

Morale and civic pride? Dog the government is putting untrained morons with guns on the street to harass, beat up, and deport people who look vaguely ethnic. That shit is bad for civic pride, and they use the cameras.

you should get some body cams for your kids, you will get a more pertinent view.

Nice work! If you are looking for ways to enhance this or complementary routes, one thing I was thinking about recently... As a musician, often I play songs I don't know the lyrics to. It would be cool to have an app that could follow along karaoke style with the words, as I sing and as the band plays. Right now I clip a phone to the mic stand, but after a lyric or two, I lose my place. This is probably multitudes more complex based on every "band/vocals" sounding different, but just something I was thinking about.

Yeah I think this is quite tricky. Even spotify screws up the sync halfway through the song somewhat frequently

Thanks you inspired to make slop too. 2 passes on cursor for my skifree2.0 game in honor of the olympics - https://danvoell.com/ski/

Love it! Could someone go ahead and make a plugin that allows you to download an mp4 of the loop. for whatever. Abelton, Garageband...

this is awesome. The only code instruction video instructions that I have watched that doubled as a song. At first I thought it was the Euro dance hall lyrics and then I realized it was actually the code instructions.

This is awesome. Just awesome. Love that it looks like a baby toy and packs enough punch to get a kid about 20 years up the line of music understanding.

My guess is that the entry point is to help people think about what to do. I still don't love the midjourney interface but it serves the same purpose.

Next up is a store that generates a functional SaaS with monthly billing from anything you type in search.

My take as well. Feels like something that is going to be plugged into my brain when I'm drooling in a nursing home.

Literally, The Matrix. (I just rewatched the first one for the first time in a decade and forgot how damn good of a movie it is.)

Think of all of the suffering it will prevent
