Verizon sued and won when the FCC issued the 2010 Open Internet rules. The court said the FCC couldn't mandate these rules without a reclassification to Title II. So the FCC reclassified ISPs to Title II and then basically said the same thing. ISPs cannot block or bias traffic, and they have to open about their operations.

How do we go about stopping ISPs from blocking or biasing without Title II reclassification? What's your solution?

GitLab is faster in on some pages. The commit page probably is slower, but not by so much:

wget https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/commits/master
master.1 [ <=> ] 66.40K 382KB/s in 0.2s

wget https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/commits/master
master.2 100%[=====================>] 183.50K 662KB/s in 0.3s

Again, your milage may vary (cache) and I do agree that the commits page of GitHub feels faster most of the time.

GitLab doesn't have preview support for as many features as GitHub, but it has many other features GitHub doesn't have such as protected branches and git-annex support (version large binaries with git).

There are less integrations than GitHub but I would not say there is a lack of them https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/tree/master/app/mode...

We think the issue tracker is good, working with labels can be improved but getting a milestone overview across projects is pretty sweet.

Availability of GitLab.com is over 99.9% at the moment http://status.gitlab.com/

Over 700 people have contributed to GitLab http://contributors.gitlab.com/

We understand if people place open source projects on GitHub, they have way more registered users. But some people choose GitLab and their numbers are growing.

The BBC does not see Micro Bit as a rival to similar computing devices such as Raspberry Pi, Arduino, Galileo and Kano, but rather hopes it will act as a "springboard" to these more complex machines. ...

The final version will have a Bluetooth link enabling it to be hooked up to other devices such as a Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi Foundation is helping to develop learning resources for it....

BBC Learning's Gareth Stockdale, who is developing the device, said: "The BBC's role is to bring focus to the issue, and then we will withdraw from the market." After the first million Micro Bits go out to schools, there will be no more.

[...]Bruce Sterling calls them “the Stacks”: Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, [GitHub].

[...]

They don’t want much, those Stacks. Just your identity, your allegiance, and all of your data. Just to be your sole provider of messaging, media, merchandise, and metadata. Just to take part in as much of your online existence as they possibly can, and maybe to one day mediate your every interaction with the world around you, online or off.

[...]

It’s very convenient to live in a Stack. It’s easy, it’s seamless, it’s comfortable. And it means putting much, or very nearly all, of our increasingly important online existences into the hands of a few titanic megacorporations. It means relying on their benevolence, not just today, but for the foreseeable future.

I've filled two formal complaints to an EU regulator regarding spam (one is a company, another an individual). The first complaint was made back in early 2014, and a few weeks ago I got a response from the competent authority. They fined the company with just over €30,000. I'm still waiting on the second complaint.

On both occasions I was receiving emails/spam I never signup for, and on both occasion I tried (several times) to contact the sender directly asking to be unsubscribed. Neither responded to my emails (and I've tried various different email addresses).

When the path of least resistance is filling a complaint, senders should expect no less. And if you decide to spam people, make it easy to unsubscribe, because the next fastest option is to file a complaint, and fines don't come cheap.
Because at the end of the day, I need to earn money in order to live at a standard that I'm comfortable with.

Agreed... what if the person flying the drone has no knowledge of the intent by a third party to eventually monetize the video? Can their flying be retroactively and involuntarily criminalized by a third party who is given and then monetizes the footage?
The first algorithm I see on the page is Dijkstra's algorithm. The wikipedia page for that algorithm includes pseduocode to implement it. I'm also seeing pretty simple examples of day to day programming tasks being marketed as algorithms. (How to read an RSS feed? Really?)

I do see value in a service that offers me algorithms in areas that are new to me, and I'm even willing to pay for that. But the current content is not well curated, and even if it was, the license terms are completely unacceptable, as mentioned in other comments.

Nevertheless, I like the broad vision here... it just isn't implemented in a way that makes sense to me.

Huh? Wireless isn't a legit broadband solution, and 2+ wired situations are very rare for residential service.

Large swaths of the remote state of New York are in precisely this circumstance. Verizon has essentially abandoned POTS, and many places cannot provision new DSL service, or can only receive very low speed DSL. Outside of the FIOS footprint, the cable company is it. In some cases, you can subscribe to an unbundled cable offering and get 10/1 EarthLink cable service for $4 less than 25/2 Time Warner.
Unmanned Aircraft Systems Alert:FAA Publishes NPRM for SUAS
The legal question is whether "the aircraft is flown strictly for hobby or recreational use."

To me, this suggests:

(1) the statute looks to the purpose of the flight when the flight occurred--later developments don't matter

(2) actions of third-parties not involved in the operation of the drone also don't matter

Remember, the FAA has the authority to regulate drone flight for commercial purposes. They don't have the authority to regulate Youtube, other people's filming, etc.
>As in, if the purpose of the recording was not simply for profit, but profit comes by way of the artistic contribution

In my opinion, if you fly the drone with the intend to use the resulting footage in any commercial product (e.g. a _monetized_ youtube video), then that flight was commercial in nature. And because we can't measure intent, we have to assume that every flight that results in a commercial product was started with the intend of producing that product.

Maybe in some cases you can make a point that the flight was primarily for enjoyment and the video was just a byproduct. That might be a viable argument for a paraglider without established audience, but it's harder to defend for a drone with a camera strapped to it.

There is a similar one for ideas at http://firespotting.com
FAA spokesperson Les Dorr was quoted in the article as saying that it was possible the reason the FAA decided to send the warning letter was because several of his videos involve flying near and overhead of non-participants.

Depending on the UAV, that could present a significant danger to them, especially if he lost control of it. The FAA letter makes reference to this at the bottom of page one.

Flying in that manner is against the regulations of the AMA.

I suspect that the reason the FAA letter even mentions the word "commercial" is because there are basically three ways to fly UAV that the FAA considers legal:

1. Government -- I don't know much about this one.

2. Commercial -- requires the appropriate licenses and permits from the FAA with strict guidelines on the restrictions for any given flight.

3. Hobby -- The FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 has a few specific requirements to be eligible to fly as a Hobbyist. The first is that the flight does not result in any revenue (with a few very small and fuzzy exemptions) and the second is "the aircraft is operated in accordance with a community-based set of safety guidelines and within the programming of a nationwide community-based organization"

Since he was flying in a way that would not be in accordance to the AMA's regulations, and he isn't flying as an authorized government agent, the FAA is likely putting him in the only remaining category, commercial.

All that said, I despise the way the FAA is treating UAV operators. Everything from their absurd interpretations of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 to their glacial pace at actually making commercial flights a reasonable possibility.
I certainly hope GitLab uses GitLab internally. ;)

Interesting article, but way too many of the statements from the whiskey "experts" sound like they knew what they were drinking when they formed their opinions. There were no blind taste tests mentioned.

I spend way too much money on Scotch and Japanese whisky and I will freely admit that a lot of the experience is very subjective (like wine) and is significantly influenced by everything from the bottle to the price you paid for it. But I don't care, most enjoyable experiences in life are very subjective.

Pouring some Yamazaki 18 or JW Blue feels a lot better than cracking open that bottle of JW Red that you keep around for your in-laws.
Practically any drone that can cary a gopro could also fly to 2000ft and you're limited to 500ft by the rules anyway. The issue is the FAA has always allowed model aircraft however now the technology has advanced to the point that those aircraft have potential to be widely used in commercial applications and the FAA is trying to hold back that use. This can't be left to the FAA alone, next gen ATC has taken them 20years and it's still not implemented if we were to follow the same path with drone integration it would likely not happen for another 20. The cat is out of the bag, people have drones and they need to move quickly to get some sane regulations for commercial use instead of sending letters and fines.
Well,

If you read what the author wrote, he implied that as outside observer he found software engineer eloquent, optimistic and down-to-earth. So he wasn't just reflecting group bias.

I got into software engineer by finding software engineer down-to-earth at least in the sense that it seemed you didn't have to engage in the posturing implicit in finance, say.

That seems to be gone in Silicone Valley but that might be only a small sample of the whole software world.
First, there aren't many large scale bands of individuals that don't also obtain special privileges from the government (aka incorporating).

Second, while these organizations theoretically "have no such right", there are plenty of instances where they do directly wield force yet escape justice, abuse the force-wielding functions of government to harm people, or use their concentrated power to buy off parts of the government (principle agent problem). Insisting that these are ultimately government problems because a perfect minimalist government would not succumb is highly wishful thinking. It's falling into the classic political trap of addressing one half the problem while drumming up full-speed-ahead support for the other half.
0 is a good one
As a pilot who wants top live, i'd prefer people without training to stay out of the sky.

Then I suggest you stay out of the sky, because we're not going to make it 100.000000% safe for you, ever. You don't own the universe above 0 AGL. Other people need to use it, too.

Nobody flying a drone below several hundred feet is, or should be, a hazard to you, as long as they're not doing so near an airport. Existing regulations are just fine in that regard without making up a bunch of horseshit about "monetization."

What you ask (FAA to leave the issue alone) is akin to letting 2 year olds drive 18-wheelers on the roads you drive your kids to school on? Feeling comfy with that?

The arrogance it must take to post something like that is simply breathtaking. You probably throw beer cans at bicyclists when you pass them on the road, too.

What to See in Victoria, Canada
Could you point out specific ambiguities in this set of rules if you agree? The only significant one (in my opinion) is a lack of definition of DPI.
What I'm saying though is that it's the artistic effort being monetized.

It's kind of like saying a person can go buy a lump of clay, but if they turn it into a vase, then they can't sell it.

Thus, the flight itself isn't being monetized. My point is that the FAA thinks it has authority to regulate artistic endeavors in this case, because they choose to define the flight's nature retroactively, when in essence, the flight itself is not the commodity, nor is the product of the flight the actual commercial product...I mean, tying a camera to a balloon and then making a video of that runs afoul of the FAA with this/your logic?
I think you draw an important distinction, but I don't believe that either of our comments are incorrect. I was explicitly referring to a development cycle that is too fast. After all, developers are humans and not machines. Perpetually fast development cycles lead to mental exhaustion, missed vacations--bugs. Unless, of course, you exist on a team that is staffed over-capacity such that the absence of any single developer has an immaterial effect on development cycles. I suspect that is not the case for most of us.

First, the FAA should care about safety, not money.

But it seems all they care about is that you could actually compete with maned planes' pilots.

I fly my drones against the law every single day because the law is completely outdated in my country(Spain) because basically they copy the stupid US model.

In theory I have to put a deposit of 3000 euros for flying a less than 1 kg drone,and register my activity, and what not for a 5 meters above ground recordings. The same as I would have to if I flied a more than 600Kgs helicopter. Non sense.

Companies are using drones anyway, they just don't tell anybody. Proof that I am using a drone and not a crane.

They have backed off of the need for a pilot's license in their latest proposal and are now looking at an "Operator's Certificate" some good news amongst other not so good regs.

I think there is a huge difference between being a monopoly and a duopoly. The fact that Lyfy can exist, and it is (at least currently) easy for both drivers and passengers to switch, makes it so uber cannot institute monopoly pricing. The best example of a network that can would probably be Ebay. Uber is definitely no Ebay, and I doubt it ever will be.
I think the real point is that in the times of the internet the line between private and commercial use of anything becomes fuzzier and fuzzier. This is now a problem for the FAA because they rely on a clear distinction between the two, and they won't be the only ones who will stumble.
They are hard to get, but they have issued some permits:

snowwrestler gets it right, but imagine if the FCC didn't have this language? What would happen if Congress or the courts ruled traffic as unlawful and mandated ISPs to block it?

The ISPs would be stuck in a jam. Either they run afoul of the FCC by blocking it, or they could run afoul of some court by not blocking it. We need clear rules.

With the exception of things like TV and radio, there's little precendent for the FCC telling operators what they can rebroadcast. This 'unlawful' language is the FCC's way of not addressing the issue at all. They're not defining what 'unlawful' means intentionally because it's not part of their Congressional mandate.
Most of Gold Rush is filmed in Canada, specifically anything involving "The Klondike", which is in the Yukon, Canada.

They would need to abide by Transport Canada's UAV regulations, and would most likely require a SFOC, which is possible to get if you're operating <400ft commercially. The FAA does not yet have a similar permitting process for commercial drone use.

EDIT: SFOC/Transport Canada regulations:

Why wouldn't she? Idealization in art is not a problem. Her boss didn't put the poster up because it was an idealization. If he had, there wouldn't have been any concern in switching it with another idealization; he would have simply appreciated the new poster.

But he did appreciate it: not for it's "sexy woman" idealization, but for the statement it made, and for being a reminder about what is important in a workplace.

There is more to art than pretty pictures. Focusing on sexy pictures in the name of "artistic appreciation of idealizations" is narrow-mindedness, no matter how you spin it.
