A SpyCop in Every Home feat. Paris Marx
It's the free one!
This week, Riley, Milo, and Alice speak with Paris Marx (@parismarx) of the Tech Won’t Save Us podcast about Britain’s desire for a call-the-cops-on-your-neighbours hotline, a new tech development that uses (very reliable, surely) facial recognition to call the cops on you, and much more.

Lads-lads-lads, lads... lads It's just an ED-209 with a cup holder
Love to do American style policing where you just hand over all of society's problems onto cops, meanwhile burying social workers in bullshit paperwork, and never building public spaces for roudy teens to go to go & have a community. Also, Tories have got some serious nerve during Corbyn's years saying that funding public services and helping people generally was, "impossible" and now they want a fucking space program. They won't fund a means for your nan to catch a reliable bus, but they will try to put another rich cunt in suborbital flight, because reasons.
Oh man if you want to review a quantum cryptography start up, you should really look at Crypto Quantique. I’m not even sure they know what their product does
I'm curious to know what the quantum involves. So far, all I can think of is it involving crystals that clearly don't do anything.
There's only two kinds of acceptable robot designs: 1) a cute little fella that's shaped like a tin can and 2) an anime girl that will certainly kill me. So far, no company has been brave enough to create either.
Spunk loving episodes
would love to see an episode on the goings on of Switzerland or at least a peek into some critiques of its functioning. it seems to occupy similar wavelengths as Britain. finance/bank economy, anti-EU, frustratingly naive politicians, fucking love snitching
What the hell does Astro even do? Is it just a security guard for your home but it’s shittier and can’t go up or down stairs (well it can one time very fast wailing despacito). Just out of curiosity I made a full system on simplisafe with 4 indoor and 2 outdoor cameras and loads of sensors and alarms which costs only $820 (a dumb startup but point still stands). So the customer has to want home security that only covers 1 floor, isn’t a real alarm system, and cost more than a real system. The Juicero makes more sense it least it didn’t spy on you and you got juice.
The Juicero was internet enabled and had a camera so it theoretically could have been spying on you as well
So Britain’s answer to systemic economic problems is just the GIF of Tim Curry going “SPACE!”
Milo doing an excellent Bob from Prometheus and Bob impression during the Despacito stairs bit there, 10/10
Stargate SW1 deserved so more!
btw did you see that the facebook rep defending them in congress is called *Antigone Davis*?
Congratulations on your teeth Alice, may your enemies fear them.
