I'm really curious about how FedEx and UPS will handle this. If the legislation changes then I think there could be room for one of these two, or possibly a new competitor, to create their own fleet of drones to offer local deliveries for businesses everywhere.

For years I've had just butter or margarine on toast when I would occasionally (certainly not frequently) feel like it. I know of many people who would consider this an uncommon, but quite normal thing to do as well.

Maybe it's an Australian thing? Possibly passed down from British heritage? I'm not sure.

"Plain" toast is actually a good choice when you're sick and attempting to eat again. It always feels "safe".

"We are living in aftermath of centuries of Keynesian policy, this is PART of the long run to which Keynes is dead in."

I don't know whether to laugh, or cry. Keynes was many things, but he was not a Time Lord.

We've been living with Keynesian policies for a tick under 70 years, which also has happened to correlate to the greatest wealth expansion in recorded history. It's a bit premature to point fingers as to why (or what has happened since the 1980's, which has caused middle class wages to stagnate).

Do keep in mind that Keynes was revolutionary because his ideas worked, even though they upended much of classical economics - they had (and continue to have) predictive power for how economies work, especially when interest rates are near-zero.
I really hope you don't actually represent these folks, because you just made yourself look like a real ass.
Agreed. I think - or at least hope - there might be a hidden desire in Silicon Valley to start solving "Big Problems". To evidence this, I'd point to the admiration of Elon Musk by posters on HN, who - albeit being rich because of Paypal - has devoted most of his time to solving problems like energy and space exploration.
This technology is actually working today. They are waiting for the FAA.

If it takes 1 or 2 years to come up with rules for new technologies, that is too long. What we actually need are functional peer-defined systems for interoperation and safety. A set of immediately obsolete prescriptive top down policies is probably going to be a hindrance.

Government as it exists in its current form is obsolete. I advocate that every citizen acquire a personal natural rights and sane systems enforcement quadcopter armed with non-lethal weapons. These quadcopters should be used for a nonlethal removal of obsolete government structures and personnel.
Nah. I'm sure they won't promise perfect availability to every customer for every product, at least not initially. There will be a gradual rollout.

But it's not as big a deal as you're making it out to be. They're already able to deliver all their things on a reliable schedule to every house in the US. That's the hard part. To do this, they just need to squeeze some more waste and latency out of the system. They've already proven to be very good at that.

Remember, our current logistics systems already move basically all the goods Americans need to within a 15 minute drive already; they just make customers do the final pickup themselves at distribution centers (which we call stores). This is just switching the last-mile burden from buyers to the seller.

If Amazon gets this working well, there will be plenty of empty big-box stores to serve as local caches.

I happened to use an open source traffic simulator which is capable of simulating both purely autonomous and human/autonomous traffic scenarios. It is possible to still support traffic lights for the humans who, for whatever reason, still desire to drive (I bet there will be always be reasons for you to want to drive manually.)
The team at the University of Texas at Austin has done a great job developing this simulator, AIM4. You can check out the videos and the source code here:

Interesting. I've been using XFS only (even for /boot) for years and it's been completely reliable. I'm sure it will work well for them.
What if they do that with Amazon's current delivery vehicles? Same answer.

The link is about sandwiches made from a slice of toasted bread between two untoasted slices of bread. Not plain toast.
The problem with these talks are that from a developing country's perspective it looks like developed nations used cheap energy to get ahead. Now they want to curb usage of cheap energy in developing nations because:

1. Suddenly, they're affected by climate change, or claim to be.

2. It's just a ploy to increase energy costs for developing nations and keep them behind.

This may or may not be true but with this kind of perception, such talks will never go through. Also, there are choking levels of pollution in New Delhi [1] and Beijing. The cities are really uncomfortable, and there is a growing body of research to show that air pollution is carcinogenic. [2]

These countries would do well to curb pollution and use clean energy just in the interest of public health. Unfortunately, public health is very low on the agenda.

New Delhi is on the brink of ecological collapse (or maybe beyond that depending on the definition). There is no clean air, clean water, or clean soil. There are no numbers to indicate how many pollution related deaths occur in India annually or what kind of productivity is lost. Frankly, no one cares either. Until someone is personally effected (in a drastic way, like NO2 poisoning and dropping dead..) there will be no change. A very large percentage of children in New Delhi are diagnosed with asthma. [1]

Climate change is a far cry from getting discussed if domestic air pollution isn't a cause for concern.

It seems he's saying/joking they're all failed startup founders.
Amazon is practically a startup compared to the existing, entrenched corporatocracy. They aren't old enough to have established the revolving door between their board room and the white house/congress/3-letter regulatory agencies.
I'm not sure it's a leaky abstraction per se. But there are definitely issues with it—issues things like the Google Closure Compiler try to deal with. One of them is this: eventually, Rails realized you should probably link your application to a particular version of a gem (see bundler), just like the Java world realized web apps probably shouldn't be resolving dependencies at runtime (see WAR files).

Right now, JS apps are often just serving the latest version of libraries for things like DoubleClick and Google Analytics. Google can update what they're serving at any time without letting you know. If you use a build system to bundle the library into your code, you lose the benefits the user could get from already having the library cached. If you don't, you're exposed to someone else's whims on library updates, and you add HTTP requests to boot.

The same goes for bundling something like jQuery into your app. You can bundle it in, but that data has to be sent downwire to the client when the JS goes down, even if it is just in one HTTP request. Or you can include it via CDN and a lot of users won't have to download it again, despite having to do an HTTP request. So it's all about choosing the right tradeoffs.

Also, JavaScript runs as it downloads, in page order. So you don't have to wait for all 30/X round trips, though you may have to wait for X round trips for the last file (in page order) to run. Then it becomes a matter of prioritizing what needs to load first. Naturally this is stuff we wish we didn't have to worry about, but worrying about bandwidth and latency and how and when and in what order things download has always been necessary for network applications, and I don't see that need going away anytime soon. I'd love to be proven wrong though :)
Should array indices start at 0 or 1?
Once you start dwelling in the intricacies of a very complex type system, it becomes quite difficult to keep things easy to understand.

There's this joke about how a Haskell programmer's style on a hello world programme evolves with experience, starting from a very readable, sort of down to earth implementation, and turning out in its last iteration into a complex "mess" of abstract concepts, for sensibly the same result.

It's always possible to keep things simple, even in Scala, and the opposite is also true with a language known as simple, Java, because the type system happens to be quite powerful actually. People are tempted to make things complicated also because there is this prevalent programming style in the community.
That's not a customs form, to clarify.
The multirotor you cited has a no-load hover time of about 15 mins - hover n/e forward flight. It has a loaded flight time of about 5 mins. Like I said - pick one.

I didn't say wind, I said weather. That said, forward flight in even moderate wind draws considerably more current.

The motors are open for cooling and weight efficiency. They aren't waterproof. Try flying in snow, or dusty / sandy environments and see what happens!

If GPS accuracy randomly ranges between perfect and nonfunctional, then you have described unreliable. Please cite all these alternatives.

What do you imagine might happen if one were to 'brake the motors below a certain altitude'?

And I didn't say 'can't be made', I said the technology isn't there yet, nor by 2015 as Amazon suggest. I also said it will be eventually.

I used JIRA for a number of years on a daily basis and it is easily the worst bug tracker I have ever used. I would choose any other bug tracker I have used over JIRA any day, even BugZilla.

The connection to mongodb is that their team chose JIRA and continue to use JIRA. I was implying that by choosing such a horrible bug tracker that you must question their code for mongodb.

In retrospect I probably should have added a smiley face or not made the comment at all, since it's entirely possible they didn't have a choice in the matter and JIRA was chosen for them by a pointy haired boss. After all, I was forced to use JIRA at my previous job and the quality of code I produced and technical decisions I made were not affected by choice of bug tracker. So to any mongodb devs reading this who may have been offended, I am sorry and I feel your pain in having to use JIRA, I hope you can escape it soon :)
My sense is that all the people who should read this either won't read it or, if they do, won't understand its message. Over the last 20 years there have been dozens of books, and thousands of articles, pointing out that few people can beat the market averages. Even professional investors, who devote their lives to following the market, only occasionally beat the market.

Posts such as this one are logical and well-reasoned. There is ample documentation of the basic facts of the situation: chances are you can not beat the market average. Any person who, in the year 2013, is still managing their own investments, in hopes of beating the market averages, probably can not be swayed by a post such as this one.

Who should manage their own investments? One could make an argument in favor of investing that is similar to the argument some people make in favor of gambling: think of it as a form of entertainment. There are also the rare individuals who have some method that has been shown to work and they follow it with great discipline. But aside from those who find it entertaining, like gambling, and those who have a proven track record, people should avoid trading stocks.

But this advice will be ignored.

I don't get why either. Just have a drop box like in the old days when ice used to be delivered house to house into the icebox via a little locked door the iceman had the key too.

Although with these, I don't see why window box style package drops wouldn't appear. All it would have to be is a rigid mesh frame so it's not affected by wind/rain/snow, which would also make it light weight so it could be constructed easily large enough for the mini helicopters to make drops into. Put the QR codes on a sticker that goes on the window like an alarm company sticker.

I know the first response will be "that'll never happen", but it would allow package delivery any time, anywhere. Live on the 5th floor of a walk up? Your new game will be waiting right outside your window when you get home.

I honestly imagine there would be high demand for this for courier services.

Logically speaking for India to reduce its total emissions one of two things should happen: a huge number of people in India should die or Indians should consume almost nothing (everything else being equal.)

I don't understand how anyone can fault India for its current stance given that the state we are in was caused by the developed countries. The only way anyone can fault India is by asserting that an Indian life is worth less than a life in a developed country.

This is like moving into a new house and being forced to pay for the damage caused by the old tenants. And the old tenants are forcing you to pay for the damage while they live across the street in a brand new house constructed by stealing from the old place.
This is awesome - It'll probably take someone like Amazon pushing things to make this happen, and now the pressure is on the FAA to allow this (and figure out how to regulate it).

Can't help but notice they announced this just before Cyber Monday, no doubt it'll drive a lot of traffic - Bezos is a crafty one indeed.

It's fake mayonnaise essentially. From Wikipedia:
"Current primary ingredients are water, soybean oil, vinegar, sugar, modified corn starch, eggs. Ingredients making up less than 2% of product include salt, mustard flour, paprika, spice, natural flavor, potassium sorbate, enzyme modified egg yolk, and dried garlic."
India has also been given opportunities never available to western countries during their period of industrialization, such as access to a wide variety of medicine and technology. I would just like it to be clear that India is in a different situation than what many others were at comparable levels of development.
> Why isn't laboratory analysis blinded?

Exactly my thought. The chemists doing the analysis shouldn't have any way of finding out who the defendant or prosecutor in the case is until they've given their report. Similarly, the parties in the trial shouldn't know what chemist will be doing the analysis in advance.

The part of the story where a prosecutor was practically begging the chemist for a particular result is mindblowing. I hope the feds come in and clean house.

It will be interesting to see how many wrongful imprisonment suits this ends up causing.
Will you?

I don't see 'rampant theft' of delivery vans.

If drones become the common place, why should any one steal them.

Honestly its a 18th century person using horse carriages saying cars becoming common will lead to rampant car theft. If something is freely available the motivation to steal it drops.
buddy, that's not even scratching the surface. when rural counties are barely willing to pay the elected coroner their stipend, they're surely not going to fund a forensic pathologist ($$$!) and the staff/tools/testing to make them effective.

there are homicides that go undetected left and right, and a distressing number of forensically sophisticated criminals out there.

but everybody thinks the cops whip out some crazy CSI team for every case, and leave no stone unturned, and no test unperformed (hahaha!), so there's no motivation for anybody to try and get the funding necessary.
Considering DD-WRT is simply a closed version of OpenWRT and this is HN... we should all be going for OpenWRT!

> but the work unique to my project was easy once the system administration independent of my project was done. E.g., SQL Server installation was an unanesthetized root-canal procedure (once wiped out my boot partition). My software installation got wiped out by a virus in an Akamai download manager I used to get a PDF file from an Asus Web site. There were more such problems, all independent of my work.

Hah.

That is another problem that can be solved by money and wise hiring decisions; I mean, I wouldn't touch a windows installation with a ten-foot pole, but there are plenty of other SysAdmins who specialize in that sort of thing.

Why did you choose a windows stack instead of a Linux stack?

My reasons are likely very different from yours, as I chose systems administration as my specialty. I chose to go into UNIX (BSD before Linux) because it seemed so much easier to reproduce problems on UNIX. When I solved problems on Windows, it seems it was a process of randomly changing things until it worked; on Linux or BSD, I could almost always point to an actual problem, and explain why. I felt like I was actually learning things. I ended up staying with Linux, in part, because it seems that Linux sysadmins get better pay and respect compared to our compatriots managing windows installations.
Prediksi Skor Lazio vs Napoli 3 Desember 2013 | Liga Serie A Italia
Prediksi Skor Lazio vs Napoli 3 Desember 2013 – Pekan ke 14 didalam ajang Liga Serie A Italia kini akan beralih kepada tim Lazio dalam menjamu Napoli kali ini, dimana sebelumnya Lazio menjadi sebuah tim yang harus kurang bagus dalam mengawali musim, dimana sampai dengan saat ini mereka hanya berhasil dalam mendapatkan sebanyak 17 poin saja dari hasil menjalani sebanyak 13 pertandingan didalamnya, dan hasil ini pada akhirnya harus membuat mereka rela dalam menempati posisi ke 8 didalam klasemen sementara ajang Liga Serie A Italia musim 2013/2014 ini.
When you exaggerate points like this you undermined the reasonable advice you're trying to give people.
