Adding that to the README would be a good idea.


Added.


We already know what's happening at his other companies. You're very optimistic if you think this isn't a continuation of that.



Quite a lot of pearl clutching going on in this comment.

Here's the quote about the street names:

> Second, I am struck by the design of the interface itself: the sci-fi overlay of street names, borders, parcel numbers, target distances, and so on.

Struck. Doesn't sound like a value judgement to me. The only thing the author has an explicit problem with is the level of detail the camera captures. I see two sentences in reference to this. I wonder why you thought the first sentence was necessary (I'll leave the arguments that don't actually address anything in the article alone).


Did you not finish the article? Later:

> I kept returning in my mind to the question of the interface itself. To how the fictional, fantastical cop-movie interface somehow became a reality.

> This slip between fiction and reality seems to speak more broadly to the role of law enforcement itself, and to how self-mythologizing police narratives go on to shape the world. To put it another way, the footage is a product of the fantasy that the role of the police is to protect us from ubiquitous hidden danger, a fantasy generated in no small part by the police themselves.


Any comment on anything is automatically considered criticism. It's a useful rule to keep in mind.

Note that this is not criticism, if anything I'm agreeing and expanding on what you said.


There's no "T" in "AWK".


You're right.


You gave it away by saying "dynamic loading" instead of "dynamic linking". They're okay with one, but not the other.


Seems more to me like saying "someone should make an rsync that's more like Dropbox".


Since I just re-watched it: he ran it on a P4 from 2003.


Probably meant JSON instead of JavaScript
