Flock Safety offered employees voluntary buyouts on Friday, WIRED reported... Without the buyouts, those familiar with the situation suspect the company would have to lay off some of its 1,500 employees.

WIRED writes that people familiar with the program "say they believe that a significant number of the startup's roughly 1,500 employees may try to depart."


Flock is making the severance offers as it continues to lose customers... The company has had many of its contracts either not extended or dropped this year, which could leave it short of revenue goals, according to two of the people. A wave of vandalism targeting its cameras has unexpectedly increased expenses. Without buyouts, Flock almost certainly would have to lay off some staff, one of the people believes... People familiar with Flock's severance plan tell WIRED that some employees may take the offer amid speculation that the company, which has raised about $1.2 billion in venture capital, might resort to selling off parts or all of its business to stay afloat... One advocacy group identified 93 city and county governments that cut ties with Flock in August alone. Overall in 2026, roughly three times as many local governments have dropped Flock compared to the previous five years.

Flock has recently been building products that extend the company beyond its core license plate reader offering. WIRED reported last month that the company has developed AI-powered investigative software to identify drivers, find potential associates based on patterns of movement, and search across police records and other data. A separate WIRED analysis of Flock's software found tools designed to continuously search camera feeds for people matching written descriptions. WIRED's analysis of Flock's code also found potential integrations with drones and other surveillance systems.

Flock's financial scrambles might explain an incident in Syracuse, New York. The nonprofit news site
Central Current discovered the city's contract said its license plate data wouldn't be shared outside the police department, reports Mashable:

But the department had granted access to other agencies, which police said was an accident. Over roughly a year, searches by officers around the country reached Syracuse's data nearly 4.4 million times. And that wasn't the only surprise in the paperwork. Central Current also found that Flock could keep using Syracuse data after the contract ended. When the city approved cameras from Axon to replace Flock's, Flock said Syracuse couldn't simply end its agreement early. It warned that the city might have to pay for both systems; so even as officials moved to replace the cameras, they faced questions about what Flock could do with the data and what the city might still owe.


Meanwhile, the Texas Department of Transportation "has stopped issuing permits allowing Flock cameras and other automated license plate readers to be installed along state roads..." reports the Texas Tribune. "There were an estimated 13,000 Flock cameras across Texas in August, but hundreds of the devices have been shut down after [governor] Abbott's funding freeze."

And in August Florida's Republican Governor "ordered his state's transportation department to remove the cameras from state roads, saying he didn't want 'a surveillance state.'"

Our main course arrived heavy and somewhat intimidating, and left picked completely clean

Earlier this month, a kind-of Turkish ocakbaşı opened on a corner in London’s Soho. The brains behind Kid are chef Sertaç Dirik and restaurateur David Carter, and I say “kind-of” because, yes, while it has a Turkish-influenced menu – sucuk with grilled peach, pide, börek, hummus, içli köfte with aged beef – and the whiff of live fire, nothing either of them does is ever remotely straightforward, hence the buzz around their new place.

Carter founded Smokestak a decade ago in Shoreditch, a wild, Americana-tinged barbecue joint where, somehow, he made brisket in buns and peach cobbler old fashioneds London’s hottest ticket. Five years later, he opened Manteca, also in Shoreditch, a reimagining of the Italian trattoria for the 2020s, followed by Oma, his Greek-influenced Michelin-starred venture in Borough, and its little sister Agora, and all of them remain dependable places where you get serious bang for your buck. All of those influences – American smoke, Italian flair and Greek boldness – are present and correct at Kid. Dirik’s story, meanwhile, has about it elements of TV’s The Bear: a Copenhagen-trained chef cajoled home to bolster the family business and going on to create the hugely loved Mangal 2 in Dalston. What Dirik and Carter have in common, aside from reputation, is a love of setting fire to stuff, in a culinary sense rather than in a Prodigy’s Twisted Firestarter sense. Kid’s Galata mackerel is testament to this: it’s almost completely blackened and has an incredible hit of smoke in its flesh.

Economies thrown into renewed turmoil as AI debt, Iran war and soaring government bond yields fuel alarm

At the height of the summer, the mood was optimistic in the world’s financial capitals. Powered by the AI revolution, the US stock market had rallied to a fresh all-time high, as investors bet the multitrillion-dollar investment spree would overshadow the hit from the Iran war.

Now the warning lights are flashing red. As the fighting in the Middle East intensifies without clear sign of a resolution, financial markets have been thrown into renewed turmoil. A slowdown looms in the AI arms race, and tinderbox conditions in the market for government debt are fuelling alarm.

You don’t have to reveal the contents, but I’ve seen families torn apart by unexpected inheritance plans

My wife and I have three children and several grandchildren. Our will may contain some surprises for them. Is it better to reveal its contents while we are still alive, or let our beneficiaries discover them when we die?

We gave our children considerable financial help, enabling them to buy their first homes. We have also made sizeable contributions to our grandchildren’s education funds.

Her catchy videos have racked up billions of views, but Rachel Accurso’s statements on everything from Gaza to LGBTQ rights have caused a stir. She talks about screen time, song fatigue and speculation she might enter politics

The YouTube star Ms Rachel, toddler whisperer extraordinaire, spots me before I clock her, and even from a distance and without her trademark pink T-shirt and denim dungarees, she is instantly recognisable by her wave, which is accompanied by an enthusiastic bounce. I half expect her to say, “Hi, friends”, as she does at the start of many of her videos. Instead she bounds over, wearing a classic off-duty mum uniform – Sesame Street sweatshirt, grey leggings, baseball cap that reads “Mama” – and removes her oversized sunglasses. She’s very sorry, she says, rubbing her eyes, that she is so tired – but her manner remains unfailingly, characteristically peppy.

It is only seven years since Rachel Accurso, who used to be a preschool music teacher, uploaded her first video to YouTube, a counting song for preschoolers called Bubble, Bubble Pop!. She and her husband, Aron Accurso, who worked as a music director on Broadway, made the video because their one-year-old son had a speech delay and there seemed to be a dearth of quality videos online that could help toddlers learn to speak.

If you’re a fresher, this may be the first time you’ve ever lived away from home. So how should you socialise, feed yourself and look after your health?

You don’t realise until you leave home just how idiosyncratic every family is, and how many of its customs are tacit, invisible, or maintained by someone else. Now you’re among people who emphatically aren’t related to you. How would you have any idea which of your practices were universal, and which common courtesies your upbringing had totally skipped? How do you even know how to keep your own body and soul together without the behind-the-scenes input of parents, who also have peculiarities of their own? Here’s a starter pack on how to function.

Something quick that has protein in it and is not toast. Suggestion: an omelette.

Something that is a full meal, covers protein and vegetables, and can be eaten over several days. Suggestion: bolognese or vegetarian chilli.

Something that you can scale up to feed two or four without bankrupting yourself or showing off. Suggestion: pesto pasta, but please always add broccoli right at the end – such a small price to pay to not get scurvy.

Something that you can make for others that is comforting and nobody can take against or be allergic to. Suggestion: risotto.

Something that you can just pour boiling water over, like a cup of tea, only it’s food. Suggestion: miso soup or soba noodles.

Exiled dissidents and an unsealed indictment suggest Kremlin may have abandoned longstanding taboo on attacks on its rival’s territory

Roman Dobrokhotov had been content enough for his appearance at a conference in Washington DC this week to be publicised, although it was not something he would normally risk in Europe. The dissident Russian journalist was named during a trial in London last year as one of the targets of a Russian spy ring that appeared to have murderous intent.

“Maybe burn him alive on the street, spray him with some super-strong acid, VX, like the North Koreans, or the ricin,” a Russian-hired operative had texted of the plans for Dobrokhotov in Britain.

Wie 's avonds kookt, de auto oplaadt en de warmtepomp laat draaien, betaalt vanaf 2029 waarschijnlijk meer aan zijn netbeheerder dan wie hetzelfde overdag doet. De netbeheerders hebben het plan al ingediend bij toezichthouder ACM, het ministerie heeft de benodigde regelgeving ter consultatie gelegd. In de drukte rond de stijgende netbeheerkosten voor 2027 (ruim €140 per jaar erbij, becijferde Energievergelijk.nl) is dit plan nauwelijks opgepikt.

Nu betaal je een vast bedrag, straks niet meer

Huishoudens betalen hun stroomnetkosten nu als een vast bedrag, ongeacht wanneer ze stroom gebruiken. Op 4 mei 2026 dienden de gezamenlijke netbeheerders bij de ACM een codewijzigingsvoorstel in om dat te veranderen. Ongeveer een derde van de netkosten blijft vast, de rest gaat afhangen van het tijdstip én het volume van je stroomverbruik. Het stelsel geldt voor alle aansluitingen tot en met 3×80 ampère: vrijwel alle huishoudens en een groot deel van het mkb.

We willen in 2029 gaan werken met een flexibeler tarief. Het maakt dan uit op welk moment op de dag je stroom gebruikt.

Wanneer het duur wordt

Het voorstel werkt met vier prijsniveaus en vijf tijdsblokken per dag, met aparte tarieven voor zomer en winter. In de winter gelden de hoogste tarieven tussen 16:00 en 23:00 uur. In de zomer valt het duurste blok tussen 19:00 en middernacht. Het goedkoopst is het in de zomer overdag, tussen 10:00 en 17:00 uur, wanneer zonnepanelen volop produceren: dat blok kan zelfs een nultarief krijgen.

Warmtepomp en laadpaal in de knel

Dat winterse piekblok raakt vooral huishoudens met een warmtepomp of elektrische auto. Vereniging Warmtepompen waarschuwt dat het dure avondblok bedoeld is om het laden van auto's te spreiden, maar ook apparaten treft waarvan het stroomverbruik moeilijker te verplaatsen is. Voorzitter Frank Agterberg wijst erop dat warmtepompen hun hoogste rendement behalen bij gelijkmatig draaien.

Wie 's avonds de warmtepomp niet kan dimmen, betaalt straks het piektarief.

Twee derde betaalt minder, maar de rekening stijgt sowieso

Uit onderzoek blijkt dat ongeveer twee derde van de huishoudens onder het nieuwe stelsel minder gaat betalen dan nu. Dat zijn vooral huishoudens met een laag of gemiddeld stroomverbruik. Maar de stroomnetkosten per huishouden stijgen hoe dan ook: de netbeheerders verwachten een stijging van €477 in 2026 naar zo'n €772 in 2030. Het nieuwe tarief verdeelt die stijging eerlijker, maar voorkomt hem niet.

Wat je nu al kunt doen

De ACM wil voor het einde van 2026 een definitief besluit nemen over het voorstel. Daarna volgt een implementatieperiode tot 1 januari 2029: meters, facturering en datasystemen moeten worden aangepast. De exacte bedragen liggen nog niet vast, maar de richting is duidelijk. Wie zijn stroomverbruik kan verschuiven naar daluren, bespaart straks op netkosten. Een timer op je wasmachine of laadpaal, of een thuisbatterij die avondpieken opvangt: het wordt steeds relevanter.

Het spitstarief staat nog niet vast, maar de richting wel. Wie elke avond tegelijk kookt, laadt en verwarmt, doet er goed aan alvast te oefenen met spreiden.
