🇫🇷 French police have an app to perform face recognition on anyone in the street, based on a database of 9 million photos. It's built by a German company.

It's also exactly what ICE in the US is building with Palantir.

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”

Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death

The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

I am so used to Brussels public transport that I always go out with my phone on 20% battery and it has less than 80% battery health. Does this person not have battery anxiety at all?!?

I hope this email finds you in high spirits.
