Sounds like a slippery slope argument.

Which governments of civilized, democratic countries have commandeered ISP's filters for questionable uses? If you're talking about the UK porn filter, it is the other way around: government has instituted a law saying they have to do it.

Even if it were a law, I don't see the issue that you are arguing. You're essentially saying "I don't want a law that says drones are banned by default from controlled airspace, because the government might change it's mind and also ban drones from places that embarrass the government", which is just another slippery slope argument.

Are you saying you don't want any laws at all, and people should just be able to do anything they want?

And I still think that line of thinking is bullshit.

The bottom line is that the dollar value for this stuff is arbitrary, and Facebook arbitrarily picking $10,000 for getting COMPLETELY OWNED and exposing any selection of personal data (in the case of the other bug, this one seems to have the potential to be even worse due to credential stealing, although it's murkier) is pretty gross IMO.

I don't know what the number should be - again, it's arbitrary - but in my personal book $10,000 is about 10x too low.
What about its weight?

No, many people get this wrong. Mainline is stable, and http://hg.nginx.org/nginx/ is dev. The labeled stable version is for distros that have strict upgrade policies.

nginx recommends using mainline over stable: "We recommend that in general you deploy the NGINX mainline branch at all times." [1]

Well....if the SNP win a majority in the Scottish parliament in May and Scotland's electorate vote to stay in the EU in June (with a reasonably decisive majority - say 55%-in) then we're probably going to have another independence referendum within 12-18 months. I think this time Scots will vote to leave the Union (the United Kingdom) so that Scotland can remain in the EU. Polls thus far suggest that more Scots, than not, think the EU, whilst not perfect, is generally a good thing and would like to remain in the EU.

I guess what I'm saying is that if the planets align just right then you can all move your clever, canny Irish brains to Scotland instead :)

As an aside, I lived in Donegal for three years (in the middle of no-where between Letterkenny and Milford). Despite being a bit far away from all the action in Dublin, Galway and Cork, I quite liked it. Was very fortunate to see "Mr Nice" (Howard Marks) tell his story at the An Grianan in LK in ~2009, amongst other folks.

I'm cheering-ish for Google. I believe they've done things in good faith and even with an affirmative goal of fairness. It's fair to have to choose between making Google logo devices and making devices that support other ecosystems.

Google has to balance openness against keeping OEMs that are not good for the ecosystem from polluting it.

But they may have pushed too far with Google Play Services. GPS has many benefits in terms of being able to update older devices, but it also makes it more difficult to sell a non-Google-logo product because you have to duplicate much of what's in GPS for it to be viable.

Hopefully the result will be to add the platform-oriented features of GPS to AOSP or another open source project.

A worse outcome would be to have Google required to enable uglier forks of Android that also carry Google Play Services and Google's proprietary app suite.

I'd expect that anyone starting a shooting war with the US wouldn't do it until they were sure they could take out the carriers in 1-2 days. Say, via hypersonic drones or de-orbiting kinetic payloads. At least, that's been my expectation for what they'd eventually call WW3.

I've been wondering if perhaps we should be looking into new submarines that can launch drones from missile tubes and surface to collect them at a later point. Seems like it would allow faster, more flexible and more stealthy power projection in a lot of cases.
It irks me when I hear that argument too.

People get offended by the idea that "if you find first year COSC courses difficult, then programming is probably not for you" - but in my experience that's completely how it turns out.

All the programmers I know who started at university with no prior experience and went on to happy and successful* have this in common - they found first year COSC courses an absolute breeze, and went way ahead of the coursework in their own time just for the fun of it.

She makes the exact argument supporting the parent though. That having people who look like her was incredibly important to her decision going into tech.

Which is a real problem IMO. I didn't go to school. Most of the programmers I know didn't. So maybe it's part of that culture. But I didn't have much in the way of peers when I started. It was just the most promising career option I had.

But the people I looked up to in tech weren't much like me other than their (mostly) maleness. And that wasn't a factor (for me). Martin Fowler, Uncle Bob, Matz, Roy Osherove, Jon Lam, Jamie Cansdale. They were just names on a page to me. Never met any of them. But I respected their abilities and what they wrote.

I certainly never had a mentor (though my father in law did get me my first real tech job, subcontracting for minimum wage, busting out the less fun HTML side of things for his work for a few months). I'm incredibly grateful to him, but that wasn't going to build a real career. So I picked up a dozen or so books, read them front-to-back, and a year later was a c# developer.

I feel like you have to want it for yourself. I could be totally wrong, and I have no idea how you'd measure such a thing, but for the non-college crowd at least, I've got to think stories more similar to my own are much more common than stories where someone found a group of people who looked like them they could consider mentors.
>1/ I'm from a 3rd world country. Street children here would give everything they can to get into the work force.

So, maybe fix that (being on the streets, hungry, etc), instead of fixing the laws against having children work?

Starving children (even as young as 10 or less) also willingly have sex with sex tourists for money, in Asia, Africa and elsewhere -- but those pesky laws also forbid them to do so. Instead of proposing we change the laws to enable them to make money this way without issues, how about we fix their situation?
There's a danger to this though; if drone pilots are universally expected to be warned when they fly in dangerous areas, then pilots will start flying "to the edge" and expect the technology to always keep them in line. I would be surprised if restricted areas were stable enough that drones could store a database of no-go areas and keep it up to date easily.

It would be more straightforward to set clear policy and provide a way for drone pilots to know where not to fly (e.g., provide an online map and require altitude telemetry to the controller at all times). Include a link to this information with every drone purchase.

My guess of what will happen if we go down the GPS route: Some incident with a drone will occur, and the pilot will say something like "the drone didn't warn me that I was in a restricted area".
The idea of a six hour workday is an extremely politically divisive issue in Sweden. It's even controversial _within_ the Swedish left. The Moderate party in Gothenburg isn't being driven by a lack of understanding but by ideology (the Moderate party being the largest conservative party in Sweden).

Slightly misleading headline. Basically they haven't confirmed it's a drone so they can't rule anything out, or as he puts it "it could have been a plastic bag or something". They don't seem to have any evidence suggesting it's a plastic bag and not a drone (and vice versa).

Developers are not Apple's customers - the people who buy the devices are. Those people have freely chosen Apple and continue to do so.

There is another way to look at Apple's cut, even when you as a developer consider it unfair. For the end users it establishes a certain amount of credibility. Apple places certain hoops developers have to go through as well as taking some money. An end user is going to find a solution that can do all that far more credible than one that can't.

It is different now, but a few decades ago one of the functions of advertising was credibility. If a product was advertised, it meant there was an aura of success about it (the money to advertise has to come from somewhere and someone has to stand behind it) and that success was sufficiently great to spend some of the revenue on ads. The bigger the ad spend, the more credible/success there is perceived to be. Everyone will be a lot more skeptical about something that can't even afford to advertise, or does so "cheaply".

The same thing is happening with university education. Someone attending one, spending real money and persevering is more credible than someone taking a few online courses, even though the actual education they could get is similar.

Circling back to Apple, the app store is already saturated, and I suspect Apple will be more than happy to raise the bar some more. The most credible apps are what they and the users will want. Imagine they added a section for folks like you "these apps use none of our services and we take no cut from them". That section would smell like failure, not success.
Idle thought: Could colorization be used to (lossy) compress full color images (usefully)?

How is it propaganda if all that you said it's true? With all your fear mongering ideas of communism, you can't blame them for capitalism own weakness.
Karl Marx[1] predicted this and that's why he postulated that capitalism would prey on itself. Everyone who tried to warn about this weakness and every call to fix this (just like your comment) was dismissed as communist and enemy of the western world.
Communist might be a bad idea, but not everything should be treated "vicious propaganda".

DJI products quite effectively indicate and restrict access to no fly zones. My controller starts to beep if I get within a few hundred feet of a border to a no fly zone. I haven't tested it, but I think it is supposed to come home and land if you somehow get into a no fly zone.

That said, 1,700ft is so high, no fly zones don't really mean much anymore.

"While it is certainly possible that defensive technological development could outpace the development of offensive weapons and countermeasures to defenses, this does not appear very likely."

This is sort of what I was getting at: this is no longer a technical assessment, but also (or even primarily) a geopolitical and economic one. A technical assessment would consist of "a defensive technological development that accomplishes X goal can be completed in estimated Y time." Anything beyond that is garbage.

> So poor blacks kill each other in huge numbers, and poor whites don't. What's your point exactly?

90% of black murder victims are killed by black perpetrators, 84% of white murder victims are killed by white perpetrators, so I'm not sure why you suggested that poor white people don't kill each other. My point is that the higher black on black homicide rate is what we'd expect to see for a population that is disproportionately concentrated into densely populated low income regions, which will push up their representation in overall homicide stats.

> Also, maybe you missed the black on white numbers which are off the charts compared to the inverse

What exactly does off the charts mean?

13.6% of white murders are committed by black people, 7.6% of black murders are committed by white people, so yes, blacks murder whites at a higher rate, that is clear, but what is your point?

"20% consumption" is more a factor of how much memory you have installed and how much you intend to use than PyPy's maturity. I frequently use malloc()/mmap() to consume much more than 20% of system memory.

This HN headline should be changed to "All top-selling diesel cars break..." as it is misleading. The Guardian article and the testing results it reports on are specifically related to diesel cars only.

Combine these results with the VW scandal and it's hard to see how the production of diesel passenger vehicles will continue for much longer, even in Europe, if these are the best real-world results that car manufacturers can achieve. The average emissions of NOx from these diesel vehicles were over five times the new Euro 6 legal limit.
If it was just a small minority of men in my program, I would have agreed with you, but this attitude seemed also prevalent- and I could be wrong about this- in companies and the larger tech world.

One thing I noticed in particular, was that a hell of a lot of "diversity initiatives" (stuff like code camps, scholarships to diversity conferences, etc) set up by companies like Square and Google and nonprofits like Grace Hopper gave their opportunities mostly to minorities who were already very successful, with internships in prestigious companies. If even the programs explicitly meant to increase the percentage of women/minorities in the industry go largely to very experienced people, I thought at the time, then there's really no hope for me at that point.

In any case, none of this is what led to me deciding I didn't want a tech career, it was just a contributing factor. I probably could have pushed through it, but I realized I didn't like tech enough to do so- I liked coding well enough, but I didn't like or value the work most tech companies were doing.
Excellent work!

"Choose" is correct. OEMs can add their own apps. Those apps, like the Microsoft Office apps, can even be key to supporting other ecosystems. And not all of Google's apps are required to be preloaded on Google-logo devices.

The thing an OEM can't do is sell both a Google-logo device AND a device that excludes the Google ecosystem and supports a different ecosystem on the Android platform.

An OEM can, for example, sell Google logo Android devices and Windows devices and Palm OS (or what does LG call it?) devices and Tizen devices as long as they do not use Android as a basis for supporting non-Google ecosystems.

Or an OEM can choose to do anything at all they want with AOSP, including supporting a non-Google ecosystem, as Amazon does. But that means you won't see an Amazon Android with Google Play Services and Google's app suite on it.
