  A few months ago when there was a lot of emergency services activity in my area and I didn't know why, I was reminded that no-one in my region is contributing a feed to Broadcastify. I went down the tunnel of using SDR to recieve those transmissions, and share them online. Then I went a bit further. What if you could transcribe the broadcasts into something like a text feed? What if you could add location... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• NERV Disaster Prevention

  Citizen does this (https://citizen.com) I used it for a bit, and it had decent UX, but it seems designed to raise your anxiety until you pay for a snake oil subscription. YMMV. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• What are the worst US cities in your opinion

  As an SF Peninsula native who has lived in several cities in the region and with moderate traveling experience throughout the country and also Mexico, I can say you are precisely wrong on all counts lmao. All big cities suck, but San Jose is far better than SF and especially Oakland (which I've lived in, BTW), both of which are significantly more ridden with crime. In fact, just now I checked the Citizen app,... Source: almost 4 years ago

• Is this for real? I haven’t seen it hit the news yet.

  It's an app for user generated crime reports in your area. The app sends alerts to any of your neighbors who also use the citizen app. Seems like a good idea but I've unfortunately only ever seen it deliver false alarms ( aka Cars backfiring = gunshots ) and racism ( aka "suspicious" people walking in your neighborhood ).
