Is there any verification of the registration? Here's a hypothetical situation: a guy with a drone has a pesky neighbor he doesn't get along with. So he "registers" his drone in the neighbor's name; takes it to a nearby airport and lets it fly around over there and crash. Now the neighbor's in trouble, and has to defend himself from these hefty fines.
His symptoms sound very similar to the ones described in the book "The mindbody prescription" by John Sarno.

I would very strongly recommend reading that book (which will set you back a whopping $10) before undergoing any back surgery.

(I'm not a doctor, this is not medical advice, YMMV and all that. Still. If you suffer from chronic back pain, or carpal syndrome, read the book.)

I'm not sure if the analogy was intentional but your comment made me immediately think of the Volkswagen emissions scandal.
Can you explain 'naff'?

I looked it up (I've never encountered it) and it seems to be a (British) verb.
This is just sad. It's not a difficult problem, especially for a technophile. It became clear to me when he got to the end and mentioned how dd would require booting into Linux - this blog post is the result of using the disaster that is Windows. At this point it should be obvious to any technophile that Windows is a piece of crap and I'm not surprised that a Windows user struggled with such a simple task. I know this comment is going to be grey soon, but I seriously think that this is true - technophiles who use Windows are worse at even basic tasks. It's a pattern I've seen over and over again.

This is why we need a smart whiteboard, so we can see the history of what was written on it, and undo accidental erasing/drawing. Maybe even connect it to my butt with a companion app so you can see your whiteboard notes on the go, or share them to facebook/twitter/instagram.

Redbubble, a Profitable Channel for Artistic Expression
Sure it does. It depends on the purpose of your tests and the cost/benefit.

Do you really think that just because you have automated tests, that your software is defect free? Tests (outside of generative/property-based testing, which is still under-utilised) aren't very good at finding bugs outside of regressions. Having said that, most Clojure code worth talking about does have automated tests.

In my ideal world, I would use expected-case Unit Tests to test the contract/requirements/interface. Regression tests to prevent fixed bugs from reappearing and generative tests to try and find bugs. I would write the expected-case tests before the code, use REPL testing while developing and finally write property tests after (once my code has evolved so that I understand the properties) and regression tests only as I fix bugs after the fact.

Having built several in multiple languages, I'd recommend for anyone to build their own email client.

It's quite easy to get the basics up and running but quickly becomes tricky getting all of the messages to display consistently. Then you can add embedded images and attachments to the mix. The list goes on and on. But, you really will learn a lot about protocols, parsing text & binary data, working with legacy formats and just all kinds of interesting stuff. Even if you don't wind up with an amazing client, it's still a lot of fun!

Here's a documentary shot in 1944 that proudly and joyfully tells the story of an air squadron based in Corsica that was bombing civilian targets in northern Italy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderbolt!

They bombed and shot at houses, farms, trains, people in the fields, etc. The narrator is having fun around the 26:00 mark - "Somebody in that field. Wonder who they are... No friends of mine!": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0erLVkqvPb0

This would not fall under terrorism, but under war crimes. But war crimes only matter if you lose the war, right?
I have a 2013 Nexus 7, and we just got the $50 Fire for the kids while it was on sale. The Nexus 7, even for the "2013", is still a perfectly credible Android tablet, with "full HD". The $50 Fire is 720P, so the display is noticeably worse, but, that probably actually helps with its performance. Otherwise, that $50 Fire is really only slightly slower than the Nexus 7. I even played some MinecraftPE on the Fire, and it was just fine. I didn't have an FPS meter but it was at least 20-30. (I wouldn't be surprised for battery reasons that the game is capped at 30 anyhow. Given the nature of the game and the input I can't tell if the FPS is going much higher on any of those two devices or my last-year's Moto X, the most powerful Android device I own; not enough action.)

It may not meet a techy's high-end needs, but the $50 is perfectly credible now. Not like a $50 tablet two years ago, which was slow, had an immediately-noticeably-crappy touchscreen, and was latent in everything it did. I suspect Amazon's still subsidizing it a bit even at that price, but probably not that much. Those SoCs are really pushing things along. (Pity they're so proprietary.)
Your response is totally understandable given my (very clumsy) comment. Let me make myself more clear; I'm in the process of reading up on what material one should study to set oneself up to ultimately be able to consider AGI research as a career choice.

You say "mathematics, cognitive science, and computer science at increasing levels of sophistication.". That's probably true, I'd recon a fair bit of biology, chemistry and physics is most likely also needed.

My question, though, is what specific branches of said subjects?
I do too, but that's mostly because my address bar googles every string I type as I'm typing it.

Explain XKCD: Explanations for XKCD Comics
My only thing is that there are times where relatively unknown structures (to the team anyway) can be used to achieve a task. Inline comments can alleviated some time wasted doing external lookup when trying to debug something in the function:

ExecutorService exec = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor(); //instantiate thread manager
Future<?> future = exec.submit(serviceTimer); //queue thread for async execution
exec.shutdown(); //execute queued thread and deny additional requests for execution

All of these inliners are explained in the docs, but sometimes it gives a warm and fuzzy when the author explicitly states what is happening with a comment.
CentOS 7.2 released
I am not aware of any legal roadblock to this, though there may be one. (I wouldn't be surprised if there were - there are already plenty of laws restricting providers from taking money for the same kinds of services that Medicare funds, even if Medicare isn't actually funding that service, which is terrible for Medicare patients who want to pay out-of-pocket certain care above the limit for what their plan covers and discover that they literally cannot.)

But besides that, the Gates Foundation has decided that the most effective way to spend its money, dollar-for-dollar, is on efforts like polio eradication and malaria research. You'd have to convince them that this would be the most worthwhile use of their money - and quite frankly, if I were in their shoes, I wouldn't. Even if lowering the costs of healthcare in the US were their explicit goal (it's not), it would be a rather inefficient way to go about it. And eradicating infectious diseases that largely affect the poor is a much bigger win for humanity than an ongoing subsidy[0] for
medical care in the developed world.

[0] This would require perpetual funding for it to be effective; as soon as they decided to stop funding residency programs, we'd go back to the status quo.

> But if capitalism isn't private property and business ownership, what is it? That's certainly what Marxists* mean by it.

Marxists (and more specifically, Marx) certainly meant more than the mere existence of private property and business ownership, he meant the system organized around a particular model of private property rights. (Both private property and privately owned business existed in the pre-capitalist feudal economy from which capitalism emerged, but under a very different model of property rights and very different economic relations between participants in the economy.) [0]

> If anti-capitalism isn't about abolishing those things, what do it's proponents advocate?

Mostly, altering the conception of property rights and economic arrangements to de-emphasize the role of profit to be captured by capital in some significant (but not always all, or even most) economic interactions, increase social control of some of the rights associated with ownership in the capitalist system (though not necessarily to the exclusion of private ownership rights) of productive
capital.

Anti-capitalists are a fairly diverse lots, so the differences will be fairly stark without a lot of commonality. Opposition to capitalism doesn't mean supporting the same alternatives to it. (Strictly speaking, supporters of the modern mixed economy are a kind of "anti-capitalists" who support a particular -- and currently dominant -- replacement of capitalism.)

App store availability aside (many apps are available on iOS that are not available on Fire's outdated Android derivative), Android tablet apps are kind of crappy. Apple wouldn't be able to get away with their premium pricing if the experience on Android were better.

Every review of an Android tablet complains about how the software is buggy and the ecosystem isn't there yet. Still. Again, I was never convinced there was a larger market for tablets; just a market for iPads.

Aircraft regularly operate below 1,000 feet in urban areas when taking off or landing. Not all airports are in the middle of nowhere!

Most of these "drone sightings" being reported are near airports since that's when aircraft are flying low. There have also been cases of idiots taking drones up several thousands feet and encountering aircraft further from airports.
I think you missed my point entirely. Code looking pretty, being nicely formatted, and having comments is certainly part of but not nearly the whole picture in what makes good quality code that is easily maintainable through the ages.

This isn't about "safe spaces", but the tedium of ideological tangents. A few users insist on inflicting their race war fixations on the rest of us at the drop of any hat. People ought to be able to read a thread about e.g. demographic trends in Africa without having to endure a flamewar about how low-IQ Somalians are going to invade us, plus what about King Leopold.

Also, your comments are breaking the HN guidelines by attacking other users, conducting religious flamewars, and being inflammatory and unsubstantive. We ban accounts that won't stop doing that, so please stop doing that.
I would not think that I'm an Islam apologist just from my username. Since you're such an expert on the region, you should of course be perfectly familiar with how the clans on the Montenegro-Albania border are perfect examples of Albanianzed Serbs and Serbianized Albanians, and that there was a lot of intermixture between the two.

So are the Albanian Catholics who aren't in Italy "fake Albanians"?
There is a ongoing internal friction in the software development process. We rely on capitalized business processes to self-correct against dramatic failures like this.

no, it's less ethical the closer you get to the crime of bribery, "persuading someone to act in one's favor, typically illegally or dishonestly, by a gift of money or other inducement."

Clearly this is not legally bribery. But giving out free bacardi and t-shirts at a bar is likely to provide less influence, and less resulting material gain, than giving macbooks to the guys who buy props.

To be fair, smart TVs still work as TVs, even if the entire "smart" portion is broken. I'm entertaining buying a new TV soon, since mine is on the out after almost 10 years. I'd prefer to buy a non-smart TV, but honestly all the top models include it now, so it's pretty much unavoidable.
They might. Or more likely you'd see early adopters buying these, then gradually companies would shift more and more of their models to this approach. Suddenly, only the ugly, low-end crappy models work the "traditional way."

Then -BAM-, anyone who wants a decent looking model with decent functionality is stuck paying rent.

Companies have many consumer-hostile tools to force people to do things that is against their best interest. And mark my words they are salivating at the thought of all that recurring revenue.
That's the problem. If people had only flown at designated places (RC parks ie), this would never have happened.

Hey guys — I'm Chris Kirk, the author. It's an nw.js application (formerly known as node-webkit). Nw.js is basically a framework for building native desktop clients with Node.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to give the client much attention since writing this article. Slate was amazing for giving me a month to work on it and report on that experience, but it's not in the email business. I come back to SlateMail from time to time, but right now the app is not exactly in a usable state. Nylas N1 (https://github.com/nylas/N1) is similar -- an extensible email client based on Web technology. Nylas has a whole team of people on it, and it's in active development. So if SlateMail interests you, I recommend you check Nylas N1 out!

Yes.
That ahem sort of racist snark would make a lot more sense if we weren't having this discussion in the context of a system that appears to be providing wildly cheaper service.

My more subtle point is that when we are discussing an existing free-market based medical system, you can not just trot out all the standard arguments about why the US should not go free market, because they are all based on a discussion of a change in how we structure the system. Here we (appear to) have a free-market system, so, one must validate all the slurs actually apply before just flinging them at the existing system.

If free-market health is so guaranteed to be so utterly disastrous, instead of flinging quasi-racist slurs at the Indians, why don't you actually go find the guaranteed-disasters in progress? Ought to be pretty easy if it's even one-tenth as bad as everyone always claims in the US context.

(Though I'll warn you in advance I'm going to account for the situation on the ground; if the doctor's office in a far-flung village with a per-capita income of 50$/year isn't up to US standards, I'm not going to award you many points. India is not a wealthy country. Only the major medical centers are really that interesting. It's also generally invalid to complain about a government not providing services when they simply do not have the wherewithal to be providing them to everybody yet.)

But its also unacceptable to make an Internet connected device with a static proprietary OS on it.

We have a dozen known vulnerabilities in common software packages every year, and these devices are using IP for communicating often confidential information. It can be disastrous for your toaster to be hijacked, especially if it can be remoted no and burn your house down.

This whole IoT disaster should have been predicated on free software, with some protocol support for authorized local network updates and maintenance. You know damn well that if Samsung cannot be bothered to update the OS on a four year old phone anymore, your Samsung Fridge or TV or futon is a lost cause.
