It also gratuitously uses scenery from Shreveport, Louisiana which is a very real place.

Woodward's contemporary books are full of bombshell allegations that made absolutely zero tangible difference to anything at all. Yes, you get the never-before-heard juicy gossip; no, putting it in the papers didn't matter. We all witnessed the downstream effects live as they happened.

I have War right here. It's a great look into the minds and personalities and motivations of the figures discussed. But at this point it frankly feels like those scientific studies that empirically confirm things that "everyone already knows."

This is part of a bunch of very insane fuckery that has been going on.

Agreed, so let's put them in the spotlight.

Everyone knew Police would use project Nola cams to look for suspects after the fact. This is saying that they were actually constantly scanning for suspects

After the fact? Have you missed the stories that have been published for years about Project NOLA actively staking out known locations?

The facial recognition is the symptom, not the problem. The problem is the vigilante.

Title is misleading. This is about Project NOLA (the work of one private citizen) tipping off the police when they registered a match. NOPD does not own or operate the camera network.

The police department “does not own, rely on, manage, or condone the use by members of the department of any artificial intelligence systems associated with the vast network of Project Nola crime cameras,” Reese Harper, a spokesman for the agency, said in an emailed statement.

Bryan does good work, and he has contributed more than his fair share toward apprehending violent criminals. But he's a bit of a nutter, and the facial recognition overreach doesn't surprise me.

He fancies himself Morgan Freeman in The Dark Knight. For a while he even ran a lobbying campaign that he deserved to have a police dispatch radio (which he ultimately failed to acquire).

Happened to me too with the same album. Then I remembered I hadn't configured the audio quality after switching to a new phone. So I did that, and then it was fine.

HARD BRAKE DETECTED!

Clearly most people care more about other factors than they do about audio quality that isn't even discernable through their Bluetooth earbuds.

Hopefully things go better than with Bajor.
