If you ask people whether they want weaponized drones patrolling their country they'll say "of course not." If you ask the same people whether they want themselves and their families most effectively protected from violent criminals or terrorists, they'll say "of course!" I'm not saying either reaction is unreasonable.

I think this could be made tolerable but I have little confidence that it will be done in such a way.

It's currently very difficult to have full transparency when police engage a subject, but because a drone is very computerized, that changes. Imagine if every time a drone engaged a suspect any details surrounding the situation were automatically put on a public website, available to be scrutinized. It could actually increase both transparency and public safety.

Is that something police/govt would actually buy into? Probably not.

Ask HN: Which are your most popular blog posts?
I'm soon to start a series on the start-up/bootstrap process of my project. I'll try to put an original angle on the posts, but my target reader is not a HN reader, their exposure to 'startup stories' will likely be more limited to the mainstream.

So if you could share a popular post link or two it would give some great direction to myself and I suppose to others.

A technical analysis of current Adobe Flash Player Vulnerability
Japan has to own a lot of that failure though - nuclear power is something you can only get behind if you have a tremendous amount of trust in the people running it. The potential catastrophic failure modes are, well, sobering.

With the Fukushima disaster, we've seen an awful lot of finger-pointing, buck-passing, carpet-brushing-under-ing, and an utter lack of transparency (some of it IMO bordering on criminal). If you cannot trust your government and/or power utility to be transparent about their handling of nuclear power, both in a day-to-day and disaster context, of course you can't sell it to the public.

I'm not an expert on spam, but doesn't almost all blog spam contain a working hyperlink somewhere? So what if you just instruct commenters who want to post links that they should leave off the http:// or break the url some other way. Then have your blog scripts automatically fix all such broken url's into working hyperlinks. What is the likelihood a blog spammer would post a broken url?

The way mr. Musk voices his mind reminds me heavily of Steve jobs. Both wanting to change the world for the better. The only difference is that Elon is an engineer as well as an entrepreneur which makes him hard to dislike.

On a side note, I'm quite glad that this is getting a lot of press. Hopefully this buzz will create a demand for jobs related to space technology. I'm 27 but I wouldn't mind working for something related to that field once there is of high demand.

Learn Python 3, it has nice new language features and some of the hairy parts of older versions have been replaced with new and consistent constructs.

If you need to ship and launch a software that absolutely depends on libraries that only work with Python 2, it should be rather easy to not use the newer features and go with Python 2.

It isn't used in this case, but Autohotkey is quite a popular scripting/macro language that allows you to simulate mouse and keyboard use programmatically. It's cross platform, and can be run straight through the interpreter or compiled into native executables on many platforms by bundling the interpreter.
That is crazy. I mean, The Chronic came out in 2001. It's not that long ago. Gangsta h-hop profuse in "BEE-ATCH!" exclamations, as referring to women, is still being produced. Abusive husbands still call their wives bitches. You might be fortunate enough to live in some sort of cultural coordinate in which this is old and odd, but I would struggle seriously to call that situation a representative sample.

To put it the offensive way, nowadays it might be hip and such for white boys to address themselves as niggas, as it has being normalised by hip-hop spatters into the new bro. Still, no non-asshole honky would do so to an actually black person. It would be pretty insensitive, for starters.

I haven't dropped a dime on an iPad (or other tablet device) yet.

If you'll note my points, there's functionality above and beyond just plain display that a proper eBook app has. From what I've seen, present PDF readers lack these.

Whatever other "mobile" formats come into being, relying on a publication format which presumes a fixed, print-based output (in any of several internationally incompatible formats -- I've just learned of the US letter/A4 hybrid though I've also instantly forgotten its name) ... in a world in which text displays are overwhelmingly both electronic and fluid, strikes me as very backward.
I'm confused, as I have not kept up with Windows development.

The original article states that VS 11 will require the professional version to build other than Metro applications. The free version will only build Metro applications.

However, VS 2010 free edition can be used, as the article notes. I don't see any confirmation that Microsoft is going to stop distribution of VS 2010 free edition.

Is it really a problem to use VS 2010 if you want to do non-Metro development?
yes. and macros are so easy to use. i usually start a macro before i really know how i am supposed to do it. it's just a "do it for this one occurence" but prepended by qa and ended by q. well i will have to move the cursor to the right spot again. but that is good habit anyway.
But did you learn those life skills upfront because you thought "it's important to know how to make a cheesecake", or did you learn as you needed them? Because Atwood doesn't seen anything "wrong" with learning to code; he does view learning it upfront as premature optimization:

Here's a person who a) found an interesting problem, b) attempted to create
a solution to the problem, which naturally c) led them to learning to code. (...)

This is exactly what I was thinking. Not only that, this also leads to a slippery slope argument. Maybe later they'll announce that, in certain crime infested areas they have slightly stronger non-lethal weapons and allow it to escalate it from there. After that project an area as total mob territory and say that you absolutely need lethal weapons just to protect the drones since the criminals have technology to capture it and they don't want them to reverse engineer it, because if they do then this is a potential threat to the freedom loving people. So, first they'll start with self-destructive weapons and then slowly make it more potent until it becomes deadly lethal. And then they'll say that it costs too much to make different variants and that your tax money can be used for something better if you allowed them to make just one model. They PROMISE not to use it unless absolutely necessary and it is at that point in time you know, shit has officially hit the fan.

I’ve googled "Facebook+buy+Opera" that day to see if anyone had similar idea. The top story was something mentioning Facebook Opera in a literal sense, as an emotional roller coaster about some random privacy issue. 15 hours later, it’s all about the rumors. So weird! :)

a classic bait and switch Marketing strategy

No it isn't. The product people use for 3 years isn't switched out for another thing. They don't bait the trap with one thing and then switch it out.

This is a classic "first one's free", or "demo" marketing strategy, which is much less nefarious and malicious than you imply.

Actually, one interesting thing about drones is that, in theory, _all_ activity can be logged. And secondly, the person operating it is in no danger, so there would be absolutely no justification for excessive use of force, because even if someone, say, pulled a gun and shot the drone... oh well, it's just a drone.
This comment thread is full of people saying that incidents like this are mining the viability of a bitcoin currency. What many don't see is that bitcoin is an algorithmic solution to a problem a lot of people have (decentralized, untraceable money transactions). The implication of being algorithmic is that you don't have to trust people anymore, just the math. Even if this currency fails, the solution remains and will continue to be implemented.

For example, geometry was literally invented to measure land. I'm sure that when the Pythagorean theorem was discovered, some of the first "geometers" did screw up and made a wrong land measurment. Maybe some of the reaction at the time were: "Well this geometry thing is too dangerous, if one small calculus error could make me lose half my land. It will never catch on."

12factor: Methodology for Building Software-as-a-Service Apps
I recorded a voice mail suited specifically for telemarketers. It's basically me faking a call and some interest to keep them busy ("Hello, yes... yes... ah-a.... umh...") and ending with "sorry mate you were talking to a voice mail, now would you like to leave a serious message?".

I did it because I gave up trying to opt-out of every company calling me. The point is to irk them by keeping them on the phone (they are paid mainly by commissions so every second wasted counts) to the point they will flag me as a 'time-waster' and not call anymore.

It works surprisingly well.
Amazing...

Total automation – the grand unified theory of manufacturing
1. Sure, it is much faster than getting a court involved but I think that in most case where you intervene, an agreement would have been reached without going to court either.

2. That just means that you found 146 countries where a breach of contract is illegal.

3. How do you measure the 96% ? I am doubtful of such a high statistic. Do you provide legal help if going to court is necessary to enforce the arbitration ? With such a high rate of success, it would be profitable for you and be really helpful.

My basic claim is that your service is indeed cheap but is logically probably worth little more than what you charge. Going into court is much more expensive and I doubt that you really can avoid such an event.

Probably nothing.

I strongly believe that Microsoft was already trying to become a gatekeeper a decade ago setting the stage with Hailstorm. Only the fear for anti-trust authorities blocked them IMO.

Now Apple cleared the way and Microsoft already has a much stronger infrastructure in place to become a gatekeeper. I'm pretty sure they will fail at becoming THE gatekeeper, but I think they will still become A pretty large gatekeeper.

People should have voted with their wallet back when the walled garden xbox and iphone were released. But we are talking about the huge mass of consumers that simply don't give a damn.

Consumers swallow pretty much everything, just think about DRM and e-books. We were lucky enough that the industry got caught pants down by Apple with music but they learnt immediately from that.

Besides, both Microsoft and Apple were smart enough to let people think that, after all devices, can't really be locked down. The first xbox was a joke with a very convenient place to insert mod chips and the iphone was immediately jail-broken. But we all know this can be fixed by their side.

Unless things changed, the xbox 360 has very limited hacks to run game backups, but can't run unsigned code (it certainly can't run XBMC which was the reason why I bought the original version).

Apple TV, if rumors materialize in something real, will be the next big appliance following this path. Then, when times will be mature, jail-breaking (hacks in general) will magically become useless and that's it.

Also: Apple has been a little bit more evil by tricking a whole generation of developers (and developers wannabee) that they can make the ultimate app and become uber-rich while we know from numbers that for the vast majority of them income is ridiculous.

As I said, I'm not sure something can be done by us. Of course states should be there to prevent exactly this kind of behaviors but we all know how it works with politics and lobbies.
