From United States v. Causby:

We have said that the airspace is a public highway. Yet it is obvious that if the landowner is to have full enjoyment of the land, he must have exclusive control of the immediate reaches of the enveloping atmosphere. Otherwise buildings could not be erected, trees could not be planted, and even fences could not be run. The principle is recognized when the law gives a remedy in case overhanging structures are erected on adjoining land. 9 The landowner owns at least as much of the space above the ground as the can occupy or use in connection with the land. See Hinman v. Pacific Air Transport, 9 Cir., 84 F.2d 755. The fact that he does not occupy it in a physical sense-by the erection of buildings and the like-is not material. As we have said, the flight of airplanes, which skim the surface but do not touch it, is as much an appropriation of the use of the land as a more conventional entry upon it. We would not doub that if the United States erected [328 U.S. 256, 265] an elevated railway over respondents' land at the precise altitude where its planes now fly, there would be a partial taking, even though none of the supports of the structure rested on the land. 10 The reason is that there would be an intrusion so immediate and direct as to subtract from the owner's full enjoyment of the property and to limit his exploitation of it. While the owner does not in any physical manner occupy that stratum of airspace or make use of it in the conventional sense, he does use it in somewhat the same sense that space left between buildings for the purpose of light and air is used. The superadjacent airspace at this low altitude is so close to the land that continuous invasions of it affect the use of the surface of the land itself. We think that the landowner, as an incident to his ownership, has a claim to it and that invasions of it are in the same category as invasions of the surface. 11

Obviously, it's a tricky issue. It's hard to see if flying a drone over someone else's property is illegal or not. It seems that it might be contingent on altitude, noise, and other forms of disruption.
That's neither fake nor news. 1) You'd have to have a pretty loose definition of news to include that message as news. And 2) Ad-blockers obviously affect page content (by you know, blocking it). I don't have the data to support it but anecdotally I've definitely seen it affect performance via javascript issues that arise.
Maybe. But the problem here is that the epistemic closure that makes people fear the addressing of "fake news"--and, to their string-pullers' credit, they were really good at co-opting the phrase to de-legitimize actual news--has already inculcated into those it encloses a primal fear of academia and those very "public policy" scholars.

I don't know how you unwind that, though.
>Doesn't something like 80% of the US live in urban areas?

Technically speaking by US Census classifications but the definition of urban is very broad. You basically need a population of over 2500 to be in an urban cluster.

So where I live is "urban" and between myself and two neighbors, we're on about 70 acres of land.
It does affect performance, it makes it faster.
We should have a crowdsourced website that backs up claims with facts (and has evidence either way), and then journalists can write stories that would link their claims to it. Or the links be added automatically by visitors.

I wonder this about autonomous cars in general from any company. They're cool tech and in Europe, they can really help solve several last leg problems and cut down on car ownership (I really don't think people should be able to own self driving cars. They really need airplane style maintenance for sensors and companies need to work together so all fleets have the latest safety and security updates).

However I don't really like hearing about tax money going into these projects. At least in America, self driving cars won't solve gridlock. It will be 15 ~ 30 years before we can have autonomous car only highways, and even then, self driving cars don't even touch the capacity of a real train based mass transit network. Singapore has had self driving trains for years (it's a much easier problem) and London is automating more of their lines.

Self driving cars are cool tech, but they're not going to solve grid lock or many of the major transport problems we face today:

In the area I was from, VoTech was so looked down upon that I never even considered going to one of those schools. I can't help but think that attitude stops a lot of people from considering them, even if they're perfectly adequate for the career they want.
Until Google has a monopoly on disseminating truth, they are still a private corporation.

This means that they decide what is truth within Google properties.
The article makes Wansink seem negligent and/or incompetent. Also, the embedded "CBS This Morning" video is cringeworthy. It appears that the recommendations in his book amount to "study normal weight people; do what they do." Isn't that fraught with survivorship bias? Do the recommendations in his book control for people that have the same habits but still end up overweight?

Anecdote: my household is a family of four. Myself and my wife, and our two teenage kids, daughter and son. Since we live together, the answers to the 10 questions on http://www.slimbydesign.com/get-scored/ are the same for the household. My son and I are normal weight. My wife and daughter are overweight. Conclusion: weight has very little to do with the design of your kitchen. Caveat: this conclusion has not been peer reviewed and is not scientifically sound.
It's not too uncommon. Pan Am 103 was brought down by a bomb built into a portable tape player, for example. Electronics are a good place to hide bombs because the complex internal structure makes it hard to notice explosives when they're x-rayed. This is why you have to send laptops through the x-ray machine separately and why they'll sometimes ask you to turn it on to prove that it works (so you can't hollow it out completely and just use the case for your bomb).

You'd have other options, but nothing that large. Size does matter. Pan Am 103 is about as small as a bomb can possibly be and still destroy the airplane, and even that was only possible because of an extremely unlucky placement of the bomb within the cargo hold.
Couldn't you just look up the actual cases in that instance? He is known for publicizing the details of public record.
Keeping email clean is a never-ending task. I really want something that can help.

I've spent some time with various tools, I like the UX of your tool. My first reaction was that it seemed promising.

But in practice... I'm not sure how it would save me time. I just spent the last 30 mintues trying to create rules and such to help it clean my inbox... I think right out the gate you need to show value.

Right away it should have a list of all mail that's from email spammers, and give me the option to delete it. I suspect, in time, you'll have data needed to identify the spammers more easily?

I'm new to the tool... so maybe I got this wrong... but I know that I have friends and family that send using BCC... and for whatever reason it thinks all of those are spam. They aren't. But to protect them... I have to go to every from address and say, "This isn't spam..." and that's a lot.

Anyway if you do a search for the word "noreply" or "unsubscribe" in your Gmail... 99% of the time that's spam. You can quickly delete it.

I empty my inbox by doing "before: 04/24/2017" every Monday morning... any emails from the past week get thrown in the archive... I do star a few things as I go to help me follow up.

If the tool could do some smarter stuff like... instead of specific email addresses, I want to block everything from anyone "@paypal" that sort of stuff -- that'd be good... I can do that already with Gmail.

Nice UX, I can see this being useful for people who don't know how to use advanced queries in Gmail... it takes a bit of time to set up though... whatever you can do to cut that down so people see value in the first 3 minutes would be good.

Great suggestion, that's the approach I've been looking at most recently (manual selection of crop first, then classifier for only that crop's diseases) and it does give better results. Still, many plant diseases can look quite similar - more training data once we get it (and more variety in the photos) should help accuracy
Last time I tried to use Flickr was when they upped (or removed?) their storage limit and I was looking for a way to move several old hard drives worth of photos to the cloud.

I couldn't even sign up for a yahoo account because they required a mobile number. Am I the only one without one? I have to imagine they are missing out on a large chunk of people by requiring that but maybe not since Microsoft is the same way when you sign up for Azure.

Just tried again and they still require a valid mobile number (not google voice or skype).

Google is playing a dangerous game. What else is there "powerful search ranking" burying? If I decide to compete with Google tomorrow, would they bury every site that mentions my business?
My Economics professor famously used to release a new version of his textbook every year at my school. I suppose recognizing the forces at hand, he was making the most rational decision in doing so.

Without three actual real-world examples to point to (not even one is given) it's just an empty rant about an imaginary problem.

Computers are too powerful and general; look, one person is writing a novel, another one designing a bridge.
Pointing and saying 'but the other guys did it' is not a good reasoning strategy.
Which is just about everyone outside of the Silicon Valley, San Fran, and establish ment bubble. Stifling free speech in this way will hopefully bring a cornucopia of anti-trust lawsuits against Google.
Without commenting on the implementation, I think this is the problem that WikiTribune looks to solve? I know I have a fuzzy logic in my head that ranks news sources. And I have since before the web, but possibly now we have the tools to do some of the evidence based ranking you hope for! I am not confident we are quite ready for it not to be gamed for profit though.
Presumably, someone who doesn't want to carry big, round, black bombs with a fuse sticking out of the top, with the text "BOMB" painted on the side.

There really aren't a huge number of options left for concealing a small amount of explosives, given the current restrictions on pretty much everything we take onto airplanes.
Systems where debuggers are difficult to access totally exist, of course! But, IME, they're pretty rare by comparison (unless you've footgunned elsewhere). Whether it's something like `pry` in Ruby where you can open a REPL on command or a JVM where you connect with an external debugger, most systems are flexible enough to work with you.

If you've written something in a language where you don't have a debugger...that's your own damned fault. :-P
Guitar Pro 7: Now Available
If you ship from the UK to the US, the package can be opened to check for security threats (probably if it looks odd on the xray). Happened to me several times. Everything transported on a plane has to be checked to avoid having a bomb on a cargo plane.
Not to mention basing this on a single data point where a fatality occurred. How about the tens of thousands of other drives vs standard? That would at least be statistically relevant.

Even though what they released isn't a self-driving car but a glorified cruise control. I personally don't really see how that is reckless at all.
Trump has conflated biased news with fake news. Google is running off the 2016 definition of fake news - remember what it meant way back half a year ago?

It means headlines like "Shocking - senate hearing erupts into fistfight" or "Trump won the popular vote by 1.5 million"

Fake - written by Moldovans for Facebook revenue. Not simply biased.
Schools should teach Project Management and Quality Assurance too. Why they have not adapted is beyond me.

I would like to see a similar tactic used in court to try to get out of a conviction.

Who is really to say what happened on the night in question? Who is to say the witnesses and police saw what they saw? What is the nature of reality and how can one really know anything?

In light of this the defendant must be acquitted of all charges because all information is equal and perception is everything therefore my drunken rampage at the liquor store only happened in the minds of all of the supposed witnesses while I was at home reading a good book my own perception.

Just to pick on this, as HN is an international forum; I doubt this holds true much outside of the US. For example, in many European countries an average teacher enjoys a higher salary than an average programmer.
Yes, I should have stipulated you're not simply chasing every mention of a competitor and shouting 'me too'. That's lame, and - as you mention - mostly worthless.

Rather you're keeping an eye on the convo so that should somebody's point of frustration intersect with your solution you can let them know and see if they agree.
Its probably not that hard to detect. Suddenly, a new domain appears out of nowhere full of articles using specific language (absolutes, 'shocking' terms, etc) and linked to by various low reputation IPs, botnets, etc and you just panda its SEO and go on with your life.

There are probably other factors here that make this even easier. These sites use fairly shady advertising networks so that's another factor to tie in. They have English language articles but with the grammatical mistakes a 'real' news outlet wouldn't allow due to being written by algorithms or ESL writers.

Fake news detection probably isn't as much about the content but of the methods used to spread it. That's my guess. Unless Google has some incredible AI, they'll just weigh it like they do with other sites abusing SEO. Seems like just a refinement of their panda system focused more on 'news' sites than link farms.

The 10,000 staff just are there to handle edge cases and help tweak the system. They're not going to read every moldovian fake news outlet scammer. In fact, considering most of this is autogenerated by the tens of thousands, they simply can't keep up.

I kinda of see this like spam filtering for the web. Eventually it becomes economically feasible to generate and promote tens of thousands of fake whatevers (it doesnt have to be news) and Google is just trying to keep up. The larger political issues are moot as it doesn't matter what your bias is in politics. If your search engine keeps feeding you low-information or outright false crap most of the time, you'll think about moving to a different search engine.
When ed tech spies on students
"Fake news" is the last gasp of a dying media establishment who are trying with all their fervor to convince the public of their own necessity. The fact is that in an age where technology has enabled us to communicate instantaneously across the globe and watch events play out ourselves, news media is largely irrelevant.

We don't need an embedded reporter on the other side of the planet anymore, because the people there will be tweeting it out.

The last several major news events for which I had access to cable television immediately devolved into "watch news anchors read Twitter". This was true of the Dallas riots and the Turkey coup last summer. There were several minutes straight of "this is a tweet from someone nearby...", interrupted only by commercial breaks and commentary, not real reporting.

There are several YouTube channels that get more daily viewers than television channels. PewDiePie has over 50 million subscribers. The rising generation grew up accessing any content they wanted on-demand and does not understand a world of scheduled television programming. CNN is quickly becoming grandpa's way to get news.

The traditional news media has been disrupted and outmoded, and "fake news" is their temper tantrum, their attempt to stay relevant. The old broadcast media establishment has lost their influence, and they will not go quietly into the night.

It's sad and ironic that Google's political agenda is causing them to betray their users. We need aggressive market-equalizing reform.
Depends on the airline and on the flight. This past weekend I took a United flight where DirecTV was available, but you had to pay for it past the first few minutes. Really pissed me off too, since it was a night flight and nobody paid for it but all eleventy-hundred seatback screens stayed illuminated the whole time showing ads.

I've seen other flights with pay-per-view systems for on-demand movies and TV shows. Good airlines make them available for free, but not all airlines are good.

As to the grandparent comment's point, smartphones are still allowed, so I imagine people will watch their movies on that. It's not the best experience, but still better than those craptastic seatback screens.
Hidden Advantages of a Relevant Domain Name Extension
That's a good point.

Wifi seems different in that it's somewhat traceable when necessary, and the person or institution would likely help with that in cases of serious issues, unlike willingly putting your personal identity at the end of an anonymized network you can't control the actions of.

I support privacy in almost every case, but this even prevents actual subpoenas of serious magnitude or importance, and makes that individual the final point of contact, you know?
A globalist is someone who believes that the United States' interests should be secondary to the interests of all people in the world. You have a disdain for borders and those who advocate for strengthing them. You think it's okay that we have a policy of mass immigration and believe anyone who wants to be admitted to the united States should be allowed. And shudder and cringe when President Trump uses the words "America First" and believe he is morally wrong and should be stopped at all costs. A globalist engineer is someone who builds software to advance these ideas.
Unfortunately, the concept of something being fully yours seems to be what's going away. So much of what we "buy" now is locked down by the manufacturer to the point where you cannot even hope to modify or repair it. Automobiles, in particular are getting less and less modifiable every generation. More and more electronic gadgets in the home are locked into only running manufacturer-selected software. Everything is network-tethered to the manufacturer, who ultimately controls whether/how their products operate. Sad times.
All true. But I'm not sure this has much to say about whether it is acceptable to shoot the intruding drone.

Indeed. Buying ads would be an act of redemption, and will bring Legitimacy.
There really isn't much to debate. Your stance is very myopic and makes assumptions that fail in a global context.

For example, you assume the police are legitimate and not the tools of an oppressive government.

For example, you are completely ignoring non-"malicious" purposes for disguising origin, say whistleblowing.

Finally, you are equating providing a legitimate service that may be used for a crime with actual facilitation of crime. We should lock up telephone company execs on this theory.
I think in a country as large and as complicated as modern societies one will encounter edge cases regardless of inheritance laws.

If I walk down the road and find $1 million I owe tax. If I win the the lottery I owe tax. If I work for the $1 million I owe tax. But if someone dies and I'm their heir I don't owe tax. To me if you didn't do anything to earn the money you ought to pay more tax than someone who did earn the money.

I don't advocate for a 100% estate tax but I be.ieve it should be much higher than it is in the U.S.

General consensus? No, but it seems that nearly everything emanating from a conservative-leaning source is labeled as such. _Purely a coincidence_, I'm sure.

Who decides it? Well right now traditional media sources are leading the charge, and our benevolent Silicon Valley overlords are working feverishly to help out. Media and tech companies are both filled with people of a left-leaning persuasion. Again, pure coincidence I'm sure, and we all know these people are above injecting their own personal biases into protecting us from fake news, so we're in good hands.
The very first line:

> Google isn’t planning to rid fake news from its search results -- but it’s trying to purge it from the top.

They aren't removing anything, just being more picky when it comes to top news, which happens to be what things like the Assistant/Google Home use to reply to questions.

To me, that's probably why they care about this so much, because if your kids asks "are dinosaurs real" to Google Home, replying "no" is a big big failure. It's honestly better if it doesn't say anything than a straight out lie.
So I decided it was about time to learn React and I needed a pet project to sink my teeth into. PXXL was born, a react powered pixel editor. After 6 days of development I'm releasing it into the wild.

It's rough round the edges and i'm sure there are bugs, as well as lots of missing features that you might expect in a pixel editor... but I've reached a point where I just wanted to release it and get some feedback.

At worst I've taught myself some react and at best someone might actually find it useful :)

All feedback is much appreciated.
