I’m sure they’ll clarify this, but wouldn’t that include SunPass toll-by-plate facilities?


Those are presumably owned by the state, so there's no permit to revoke.


The governor did address this. The primary concern is that these systems are being intentionally diminished as LPRs, and he specifically warned of a "digital AI surveillance state" when giving comments about it.

He has also suggested ending toll programs, or exempting residents from tolls, so this is pretty consis


Has there been any reporting into whether Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise has adequate data access controls around SunPass? They have ALPRs to operate the toll-by-plate system on bridges and toll roads across the state.

In my view, that’s one of the better reasons to have ALPRs at all, but you do need strict controls to prevent misuse.


Monroe County Sheriff Rick Ramsay on the data from toll roads:

"The data is used by all law enforcement. All they have to do is contact the state and get the information. We’ve used it countless times for criminal investigations to see where they’re going, what car they’re in, who the driver is to possibly ID the suspect."

This is too funny, how could I not?


For my fellow Canadians, CIRA operates public resolvers over IPv4/IPv6/DoH/DoT.

Why should Canadians trust CIRA over anything else? I guess it is probably better than using your stock ISP DNS.


I first entered Canada with my spouse as a visitor, then got a work permit as a NAFTA intra-company transfer, then became a permanent resident – all without having to return stateside for immigration reasons.


I like the false equivalence between reducing air pollution and not doing hate crimes against Jewish people. I haven’t asked them all individually, but I’m pretty sure my Jewish friends all enjoy breathing clean air.


You’re going to have to explain how you read from what I wrote.

It's quite impressive to quote the guidelines to someone when your first post breaks a whole bunch of them.


If you can’t be bothered helping, maybe just shut ya ugly face?


Where’s a report button when you need one?

I’m one of those many who owe her a debt of gratitude. May her memory be a blessing.


As am I


I couldn't agree more with your enthusiasm, but it's worth noting that Senakw is the name of the development, and the Squamish Nation are the people backing it.

Oops, thanks! I've been following Khelsilem for a while but do not live near the area, and have only visited several times. Would love to live there eventually if prices fall a bit.


Thanks for linking these past threads.

I found this terminology confusing for many years, hope this clarification is helpful:

- “Coaxial” refers to the design of the physical cable (Wikipedia has a better explanation than I can offer)

- CATV refers to “Community Antenna Television”, the first cable systems in the USA, which fed the signal from a shared “community antenna” to homes in areas with poor broadcast reception.

- “Cable” is the generic term for pay-TV and ISP services over coaxial cable


Yeah, the problem is indeed that everyone points to the same general concept but isn't using the same terms which adds to the confusion.

Technically you are using a DOCSIS connection which happens to use a coaxial cable. But not the same cable one as you'd have with CATV because that one didn't have the same ratings. There is also a difference with one-way broadcast and two-way communication where you also need a CMTS for that purpose. And to make it worse, sometime EOC is used which in itself is Ethernet, but not over CAT5/6/7 cables.

However, all of those words are better than people calling it 'the internet wire'.
