  • Some way to flag a car to “move on” might be good if it’s the parking spot in front of your house, it could influence the algorithm by making that spot less desirable compared to other locations when the parking decision is made, maybe this demotion would only last a few days/weeks.

    Are they good at avoiding parking in places that would block driveways and things? Would a way to submit more detailed mapping data to help avoid access problems?

    Are the cameras always needed to be on? I think it should be safe enough to turn them off once parked? Maybe firing them up again if movement is detected in a few metre radius (collision and vandalism protection) I assume they have mmwave motion detection type sensors. I know this type of tech is a privacy nightmare but I do feel corporate laziness (amongst other things) makes it worse.






  • It’s not just the poor level of pay, it’s also the crippling workload and lack of progression. Beyond a certain point your only way to progress up the pay scale is to move into the middle management of schools, which becomes less and less actual teaching, so to get slightly more reasonable pay you have to sacrifice the reason you got into teaching in the first place. For the teachers I know who’ve quit though, they could never be paid enough to get back into teaching, the workload and stress, the lack of backup with agressive pupils, hostile work environement generally (multiple people have said the kids are bad for bullying, but the staff are worse). We need to look at teaching in other countries and take note, because they way we’ve set it up isn’t working.





  • Criminal does immoral thing, imagine that! The issue is that the data isn’t being stored securely in the first place. If it’s not encrypted the game is over as soon as they steal it the data. More needs to be done to ensure the safe storage of this highly sensitive information, and sorting as little of it as possible in as few places as possible. Schools are not equipped to handle this data themselves it needs to be entrusted to an entity (private/government/whomever) that has the time and expertise to keep it securely and properly manage secure access when needed.






  • Then the only recourse is malicious compliance, a mod team running the sub into the ground over a few months? Or let Reddit appoint wholely unsuitable mods and laugh as the sub is run into the ground anyway. Either that or they appoint Reddit staff to moderate, their staff are stretched too thin with the extra workload (many subs will need new mods) and the sub/s collapse, or they hire more staff to moderate and the company crumbles under the inflated wage bill (explains why they desperately want any sympathetic existing mods to take on as much responsibility as possible, free labour).

    Basically I don’t see this ending well for Reddit.
