The notion that mass warrantless ALPR surveillance is fine because “ALPRs can see only a fraction of the roads in a given jurisdiction,” should not fool anybody.

Nobody who opposes this kind of mass surveillance is concerned about the percentage of pure roads ALPRs photograph.

Our concern is rather that roads are integrated and indispensable travel networks. So if cameras capture a person at points A, B, C, ad infinitum, the government can learn a lot more about him than the mere fact that he was on a few isolated patches of road at a few isolated point in time.

That is not an incidental feature of these ALPR systems—it is an essential part of how the major players pitch their own products to the government: Hey look, we can create maps of where drivers have been! We can find out who drivers associate with! We can learn where they commonly visit!

It’s hard to take seriously a defense of mass warrantless ALPR surveillance that won’t even acknowledge what the cameras are designed to do in the real world.

Texas Football is great for TV. The unnecessary heart attack games are getting old, though.

Winning games in spite of penalties, sloppiness, and missed opportunities.

Trump gave Libertarians 100% of everything that they asked for. They only asked for one thing: Free Ross. Which party do you think Ross is voting for in the midterms?

For penning her mea culpa, Hannah-Jones has received a good deal of praise. Well, you can count me out of all that. Her actions were morally indefensible and analytically ignorant, and her supposed metamorphosis remains invisible to the naked eye. https://t.co/fPNw5sQRqD

The UT-Austin football photo controversy, which has unmasked a really ugly identitarian subcurrent on the right, is deeply ironic. The right-leaning legal movement—conservatives and libertarians—spent decades fighting to defeat the principle that universities should admit students based on race. Texas was even an important battle in this war! In Fisher v. Texas, the right lost, and the Court let the university keep picking kids based on skin color, in 2013 and 2016.

Flashforward to 2023, and finally, the right wins: After SFFA v. Harvard, the Court says no more race-conscious admissions. Unfortunately for Bo French and his identitarian ilk, preventing universities from advantaging certain minorities does not only and always benefit white students. But this is what race-neutrality looks like: plenty of Asian and Indian overrepresentation.

At some point, if you're against progressive admissions officials privileging certain minorities, and you're also against race-blind policies under which other minorities do well, you are basically just outing your movement as white nationalist and shouldn't complain when you are denounced as such.

Newsom appeared gleeful while keeping CA shut down longer than any other city on the planet. He seems energized by his “Fireside Chats” he did everyday, informing citizens of the new rules or shutdowns. Sand was dumped in the skate parks, restaurants were put out of business, mask and vaccine rules for access to buildings capriciously changed every few days, etc.
If he truly had regrets, he would be in tears, asking the CA citizens for forgiveness.

We could have told you this. Offshoring is the biggest "blind spot" for people who want to kill H-1B because it is an inconvenient reality and they don't actually care about results. When the H-1B cap was reduced in 2004, tens of thousands of U.S. jobs moved overseas. More patents were produced in China, India, and Canada as a result.
