Indeed, the FBI routinely likes to forget about the Constitution and place themselves beyond it.

Hey FBI, if you want the data on the phone get a Warrant that requires the person who owns the phone to unlock it for you - or go to jail for not complying. You don't go to a next-door neighbor who has the key to a house and serve him

99% is not "just" "optimized" police departments. Something else is up, statistically it does not make sense.

The age is not an issue, people thought the iPhone 4 was wicked fast at the time, the speed seems adequate for a smart watch I would contend the software is too bloated - Java is not the fastest tool in the shed. However the fact that it&#x

By the time you purchase the Sim900, Arduino and make a case you would be about $70 - 100.

Indeed I remember programming for the iPhone 3G was pretty painful back in the day, you had to get creative about loading resources and make sure they were released right away even if you might be using them again.

I've never flown a QuadShot though I recently (last weekend) saw one flown at Baylands park down in Sunnyvale. I noticed it never really looked like the pilot was "in control"

It's really only the last mile that makes a difference.

I'm not quite sure you know what the "prototypical HNer" is I live in the Bay Area, I know a lot of people who also spend a lot of time on HN, if I were to make a guess my sample size is larger then yours and I think your ass

Hah, yeah like it's really viable to commute from the central valley. :( it takes me 30min to get from 92 to Ralston (2 exits)

You can get a Smart Car for $99/mo - not sure why more people don't figure that one out.

After Taxes (federal) Taxes (state) and Rent (insane) more then half of that 100k you reference is gone. Without a gold spoon it's not as easy as you make it seem. Food for thought, I had more disposable income making 65k/Year in

Google's design is very similar to the QuadShot which was built by a team from Santa Cruz. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IK_-yTrwNtU

Larger sized RC planes like a Skywalker can usually run for around 40 Minutes to an hour and cover around 50 Miles in that time. There are examples of much longer flight times and longer distances but 50 miles seems about right in real worl

"You're essentially saying that aircraft carrying humans bear the entire responsibility for avoiding drones, as well as the (human) cost in the event of such a collision." Nope that could not be further from the case, I was u

Not sure why no one is selling that, I've looked. Keep the screen, keep the case I want exactly that with a lightweight linux distro.

I think it's more a matter of the amount of RAM the apps use, 128megs does not leave room for much. Though in any case it seems like you would be very limited in what you're able to do with the apps.

Wow, that's actually very reasonable. I never thought I would say it but the FAA should take some pointers from the Brits :P.

Indeed I'm aware that 3DRobotics was working on being able to feed ADS-B into the system for drones without using a ADS-B transponder.

FAA is looking at the wrong group, the current rules say don't fly over 400 feet with a model aircraft. If a pilot of a real plane is flying under 400ft outside of the landing or takeoff pattern in Class B airspace there's an issu

Indeed, woke me and my family up. Only lasted a few seconds and was a big side to side movement but very gentle rocking motion overall.

For game programming where you might want cross platform look at C++ and Cocos2D-x. Otherwise my advice is to learn Objective C, even if you learn Swift you really still need to know Objective C. Swift is not really ready for production app

Ease of use, complexity and reliability. I'm referring to drones < 10kg. There's a point in large systems where gas becomes a more competitive option but for smaller multicopters it's not.

by kenrikm 12y ago
Under 500 feet is unregulated, (FAA claims 400) the FAA is trying to regulate it since a reform law that was passed in 2012. Under 83 Feet is owned by the property owner due to some lawsuit back around WW2 involving some chickens. http:&#x

A lot of the problems you bring up can be solved and will be, I've been working on long range multicopters so trust me I speak from experience. At 200ft with low KV motors and big props they are nearly silent or at least quiet enough t

Indeed I almost always use telprompt:// over tel:// for exactly that reason. It's usually better to bring them back into the app when the call finishes.

Indeed so we should tax people for being poor to make them work. <sarcastic> There are two extremes at work here, either you try to help and incentivize not working (I will lose my free student aid if I make more then X) or you punish

Note to Yahoo.. there was this company Viaweb you purchased like 15 years ago, oh wait never mind I'm sure you remember.

I like the concept, good job on getting it out there! However the choice of font (Lobster) pains me, there was a period where it was so overused that it's almost on the level of Comic Sans at this point. #sadface
