It's really difficult to see any of my comments in your fictitious quote.
Let us not forget about Pilot-Wave theory, where it has both particle and wave-like properties simultaneously. In fact, I don't quite get why people are so enamored by these fanciful interpretations when Pilot-Wave is so much more down-to-earth.
> When someone gets drunk and crashes their car, nobody blames the car.

This is actually not true at all. Read newspaper headlines about car accidents; they're often in the form "Man killed by car", not "Man killed by another man". Even the NYT falls victim to this error.
I've been using Trello for various aspects of my life for some time. Anything that has a flow, concept of "on deck", or a repeated list of items tends to make a good home for it.

Example: My learning (labels represent sources of learning, I have an on deck list and I stick to whatever I'm on currently -- or at least try to). I pick the most relevant thing to do next.

Another example: Vacation packing. I have lists of "Master List", "To Pack", "Staged", and "Packed". Whenever I take a trip, I move the applicable items from the master list to the "to pack" list. Haven't forgotten something on a trip in a long time. Bonus: organize labels by type of thing, and now I know exactly what I'm putting in which bag.

Trello is also great for organizing goals. 5 goals per year / month / week / day, in a way that bubbles up, is very appealing to me, though I haven't tackled this one yet.

Also, any software project I do usually has a board. Lists: Formation / Future / Waiting&Hold / Backlog / In Progress / In Dev / In Test / Ready for Prod / In Prod. Labels for issues, features, questions, ideas, high priority, and low priority items.
There was large campaigns to abolish this tax, I believe this was largely funded by lobbying. Edge cases, like the ones below which was largely used to stir criticism from public could easily be accounted for (ie implement allowance of 6 months after the death for under-occupancy tax to kick in and medical requirements). Yes these allowances may be abused/dodged (I can see a lot of "home offices" popping up and people claiming tax on their "office rooms"), however there will be a large amount of revenue generated from implementing an under-occupancy tax.

But as we all know getting bureaucracies to implement something like this will cost hundreds of millions, and will it be beneficial in the short term? Probably not. But we should start looking at long-term solutions.

> Michael Rosen writing in The Guardian has criticised how, under government proposals, parents living in social housing could become liable for what he calls the bedroom tax after only three months following the death of a child – something that inadvertently causes the creation of a "spare" room.[26] In March 2015 the Daily Mirror, a British tabloid newspaper, reported that a woman had become liable for the bedroom tax following her son's death from a brain haemorrhage following an assault.

> The changes in housing benefit have been criticised for having a disproportionate effect on disabled families. Two-thirds of individuals affected by the under-occupancy penalty are registered as disabled.

They already have this, it's called AMA, and I'm a member: http://www.modelaircraft.org/membership/membership/overview....

Pretty sure it only covers you at AMA-designated sites, though, so might not help much for this use-case. That said, I'd never think to fly my relatively-small 450-class electric heli over a crowd. Then again, people would likely run screaming if I did, since they're much less tame/stable than quads, and pulling lots of pitch definitely creates the "blade thump" which you can feel in your chest even at this size (325mm blades, so ~30" blade disc).
IANAL and I am definitely not an accountant, but I do know that if you are asking from a US tax perspective it is possible to amortize the cost of website development over 3-5 years. In fact it is very common.

You don't need a license to purchase a motor vehicle. You are required by law to have insurance and registration to operate it, both requiring proof of a valid license. When you let your insurance or registration expire your license can be revoked, but that doesn't mean your vehicle gets revoked. Vehicles are property. Driving is the dangerous activity that requires licensing, not owning property.
heh... i am assembling racing "drone" right now. few parts from china through ebay, some bolts and 3D printed body, tape, solder and glue... I can tell you - it is pretty straightforward.

> The Helion reactor will fire a steady stream of plasmoids from each side into a chamber, where the fuel is crushed by magnetic fields until fusion begins. Within one second, the fusion products are channelled away just as the next pair of plasmoids hurtles in. “The analogy we like to make is to a diesel engine,” says the company's chief executive, David Kirtley. “On each stroke you inject the fuel, compress it with the piston it until it ignites without needing a spark, and the explosion pushes back on the piston.”

I think this is a big issue. You would have wanted to ship alcohol instead of grain for the same reason you want to ship pig iron instead of ore. Transportation costs can eat up all your profit.
The only sources you have refuting reports that ran in the mainstream media about Wikileaks funneling information to Belarus is Wikileaks itself? Those allegations ran in The Guardian, in Al Jazeera, in The Daily Beast (that time, from a source within Wikileaks), and several others.

Also, AGR fuel needs to be condensed or reprocessed shortly after discharge. It's great in a gas reactor, not so much in a spent fuel pool. That means much of the UK's discharged fuel as been consolidated at Sellafield. But all that plutonium is a great fuel resource. Jealous of whoever gets to fuel their reactor with that goldmine.

RT is an organ of Russian government propaganda.

If the US had a meaningful state sponsored media presence, I'm sure it would be bad too. But nobody should kid themselves about what RT is.
Did you just totally make up this fact?

Because I'm pretty sure I've never seen a headline that said "Man killed by car".

Maybe, "Man killed by drunk driver"...
Yep, I'd think it'd be the owner held responsible first. IIRC robotic lawnmowers have been on the market for a few years. I've never heard of an incident off-hand, but I'd be surprised if no one has yet been injured by one, so there's probably a relevant court case out there somewhere. Anyone know how to search for something like that?
Long term? No. Long term we're better off if NSA spends all it's money hardening US tech infrastructure.
The problem is that many designers do not understand business, and that many businesspeople do not understand the web.

I dont care for most if todays web designs. I want something thatbworks well and am less concerned with what it looks like.

Ask a web designer how they analyze their own log files. I expect most dont because they dont know what that is.
No it is also a problem for solar. A distributed grid is non-trivial to build.
Right I'm aware of that. I just thought it was an interesting parallel.

Locke based his works off of the physics known at the time (Newton, etc). His theories were later definitely refuted by advancements in physics. Though it wasn't his intended meaning, it is interesting at least to see similar language being brought back by physics.
Not to be a downer, but the practical effect of this ruling is nil. You curse out a cop, he'll just ruin your day and the taxpayers will foot the bill even if you successfully complain.

The cop got to flaunt his ego and show up the uppity citizen who backtalked him. He still won, even if he "lost" in the end.
That did make me think. I am all for the increased control of guns, but not so much for the control of drones.

I used to think the argument of 'guns don't kill people, people kill people' was utterly ridiculous, but I have to say the OPs argument sounded totally valid to me. It goes to show how your own biases can work against you when it comes to reasoning about arguments.

But as the irrational human I am, I still am for much stronger gun control, and maybe a little more regulation on drones - to quote the immortal Eddie Izzard:

'Guns don't kill people, people kill people - but I think having the gun helps.'

> No they aren't just thrown, they are also hit, usually in unexpected directions. They hit people, they break windows, yet we don't ban them.

The post you responded to suggested restrictions [0]. Not bans.

I said hit, along with thrown. Amusingly your video starts with a football being thrown. And most of these videos (haven't watched them all) are at sporting events or fields. The first ones are people standing on the sidelines of a football field not paying attention to the ball being thrown. It sucks they got hit, but that's not a spot to stand in and assume you'll be safe when the game or practice is going on. Most of the others seem to be spectators at games. They're in an area where they know this is a risk. That's the difference compared to drones flying over crowds. If the crowds don't realize it's overhead or expect it to be overhead that they can't even prepare for it to fall on them.

EDIT: [0] However, it's my understanding that most of these incidents involving drones fall under the same rules/laws that already exist for model aircraft. I haven't researched this, just trusting my model airplane operating friends. So restrictions are probably already in place that should (if enforced or operators are responsible) reduce the risk to all involved. The problem is that, unlike model airplane operators, many of these new wave of operators are coming into on their own without the benefit of mentorship from the broader community to guide them.

EDIT: https://www.faa.gov/uas/model_aircraft/

Rules are already in place. That it's a copter or popularly viewed as a drone and not a model aircraft doesn't really change things. Hobbyists shouldn't be operating these around crowds. It's reckless.
Square has POS and online ordering services, among others.
The practical effect of this ruling is that: instead of spending time in prison or paying a large fine and having a misdemeanor on record-- you just have to spend a night in a jail and go to a few court hearings.

Being offended at a flipped bird loses the citizen's respect, and increases citizen's contempt for officers. Even as his ego won, trust in the police is diminished. Imagine a police acting out and making an arrest due to anger, as opposed to a police that winks and says, "Have a nice day to you too.". Which officer would you respect more?

Strangely, dial-up is their actual business. Most of Aol's profits come from their remaining 2.2 million subscribers, still sending in about $20 per month.[1] That's half a billion dollars a year. The average Aol user has been a customer for 14 years.

This is one of the great challenges nuclear has to overcome on paper. Most of these costs are based on absurd standards that have consistently been proven wrong. Fukushima's cleanup would be orders of magnitude less if they didn't have to treat nearby soil as waste when its radioactive signature is far lower than the soil found at the ski slopes in CO, and even less than beach sand in Brazil. We treat low level radiation as dangerous, it really isn't. Nobody at Fukushima was exposed to high level radiation, and no one will die early due to the exposures they had. And if everybody moved back to the town and land that was evacuated, they could live their whole lives out and be fine! Why waste money on cleaning up things that are not dangerous, just lied about? Changing the standards to actually reflect science would eliminate so many of these "nebulous" costs and perceived indirect costs of nuclear power.

True, but that's not worse than "standard" tries, and big O()-wise, not even worse than hashing - you do have to scan through the string to hash it.

Worst case data for a critbit tree is also worst case for any other kind of trie, and better than worst case for a classic hash (which is O(items in table) and can often be triggered by an adversary). Constants are different, though.
I'm of several minds on this.

One, yes crude language is protected speech.

On the other hand people who deal with lots of grief hourly deserve some kind of protection from daily verbal abuse.

On the other hand, some of the abuse is likely attributable to "arrogance" on the public servant. So perhaps these people should receive training and become fireable, or at least reassigned if if becomes chronic. But being public employees and in a labor union, that's not going to happen.

Still, I understand its a tall order to ask people to put up with awful abuse day after day. Imagine you are a woman and the majority of people you process through are unenthusiastic males. You are bound to get fed up.

I'm ready for a state to require verification of a crime before a person is detained. Put the person into the police car, connect to a video conference with a review board, review the footage of the police officer's FPV cam, and let the person go if no crime was committed.

Having the power to waste someone's time is too much power.
This is clearly the operators fault you're not supposed to fly over people, period. The majority of incidents of this type involve consumer level drones (DJI Phantoms are over represented with stupid people doing stupid things) Once you're in the DIY hobbyist space people tend to be much more safe about the way they operate their drones since if you are the type that will spend time to learn how to build a multi-rotor then you'll be more likely take the time to learn to operate it safely.

In the big picture an arrest and the subsequent legal proceeding isn't a big deal in someone's life if they are exonerated.

You make an excellent point which, unfortunately, is often not remembered by practitioners of our field (myself included).
Yes, you do.

Most states require dealerships to verify insurance (and if it isn't a state law it's usually dealership policy) before letting you drive a car off their lot – having insurance requires a license.

If the transaction isn't happening with a dealer you likewise still need a drivers' license to register the vehicle, and registration itself is a legal requirement.

Many people use the words "depressed" and "sad" synonymously. If you're bummed because you didn't get that big client, does that qualify as "feeling depressed"? If you want to study depression in the clinical sense, it might help to give a specific definition to help guide the survey taker.
I've been swapping alcohol for guns lately. Thousands die every year in DUI accidents. But it's just accepted that prohibition (in the US, anyway) failed miserably and that it's the drunk driver's fault, not the bartender or the brewery or the beer.

Line 98 Free app review: it's time for logic to kick in
In the ideal society, all citizens are equal in rights and privileges. But we don't live in a perfect society, and so we have public servants: citizens who have more rights than other citizens (eg. blowing through a red light without repercussions for a police officer) in the intent of them using those extra rights for the benefit of society.

This is a tremendous privilege; it cannot come for free. It comes at the price of being open to any and all forms of criticisms (public and private) from other citizens, whether this criticism is in the form of a polite letter or a middle finger.

You could try to legislate that only "constructive criticisms" are to be tolerated, but that's a very slippery slope towards a police state. The cost of allowing citizens to call officers "assholes" is one that we absolutely want to take on.

People like you aren't the target – if you can really manage to make your own flightworthy drone, you probably implicitly beat any potential requirements which would be tested with the licensing process. This is a parallel to the much reduced requirements if you build your own small aircraft – the ability to do it at all implies a certain level of competence.

Though licensing and thoroughly restricting using drones in any spaces besides your own property (which is sufficiently removed from others' property) is still a necessity and inevitable.
> On the other hand people who deal with lots of grief hourly deserve some kind of protection from daily verbal abuse.

hmmm.. do they? we are talking about law enforcement, which aside from being a public service is also _THE_ authority figure. The right to talk shit to authority is very important to me.
No problem.

I would say that if the application is being used internally by the customer (i.e. an accounting program or intranet site) you are going to have an easier time. If the application is a product/service they are selling to their customer, is a source of revenue, or is the marketing tool (i.e. their website) you are going to fight an uphill battle to convince them to let you keep the IP.

Regardless, I would be clear from the get go and if you are looking to retain ownership I would make sure it is spelled out clearly who owns what. You may even consider a nuclear type option where they have a buyout right down the road if you do retain ownership. Either way, I would consult an attorney before signing anything.
