New tracking technology could make lost belongings a thing of the past | Jacksonville Fleet Management

“Apart from the rising penetration of start-stop systems in trucks, factors such as the growing demand for mini trucks, and the increasing demand for heavy-duty trucks are expected to fuel the growth of the global truck starter motor market during the forecast period,” says a senior analyst at Technavio for research on automotive components.

David King, an assistant professor at Arizona State University, predicts such consolidations would be big wins for cities. “If we integrate transport responsibilities into a single agency, we’ll end up with a more efficient use of space that balances roads, parking, transit, ride-hail, bikes, et cetera,” he says.

Placing a tracking device on anything without a warrant before the placement seems very intrusive. What if they put a listening device in the car. Wouldn’t they need a warrant for that even if they don’t turn it on? It seems to be the potential for abuse of the tracker (or listening device) is very high during the period of time between placing the device and getting the warrant and even afterwards. It is easier to verify a package is not opened then whether a tracker or bug is turned on temporarily as a practical matter.

Mason City Police Department Investigators seach a dumpster for any clues leading to the disappearance of KIMT anchor woman, Jodi Huisentruit. Huisentruit was reported missing in the early morning hours of June 27, 1995.

As the climate warms and Antarctic ice losses accelerate, such information could help forecast the future of Earth’s coastlines.

Earlier this week, the woman who the media referred to only as Cindy, went on two Minnesota television stations, giving a detailed explanation of the murder.

"The government wants to know what people are up to at all times and react in the quickest way possible," said Maya Wang, a senior China researcher for Human Rights Watch. "There is zero protection against state surveillance."

But assuming the police aren’t going to turn it on without a warrant is stupid. If they’ll install it without a warrant, they’ll use it without a warrant.

With about 400 subglacial lakes now documented across Antarctica—and the expectation that more will be found with ICESat-2—such information is key for understanding how quickly the frozen continent is dumping ice into the sea, where it can contribute to rising sea levels.

Stitching together data from all three sources, Siegfried and his colleagues have reconstructed a more than 10-year long history of the lakes that shows them draining and filling repeatedly. Because the GPS stations also measure horizontal motion of the ice, the researchers have started to connect these fill-drain events to significant changes in the movement of ice streams.

“Everyone in our company has bought into the fact that this is a cost-saver that will also extend the life of our fleet and improve our company’s bottom line,” O’Leary says. “Most of our operators are motivated by the fact that they are making such a tangible contribution. We also compensate them for their contributions. We know who is and isn’t meeting our goals on idle time and fuel burn. That factors into their annual merit raise.”
