Sorry, but there are already fifty different "drones" on the market. This wasn't ever going to be successful, mainly because it wasn't really new or innovative. It was "me too" project.
I'm beginning to think that Crowd Funding is the latest greatest version of a scam artist's dream.
Step one: Promise the world Step two: Set up crowd fund account Step three: Exploit Media for free publicity Step Four: ??? Step Five: Profit! Step Six: don't deliver anything to anyone.
I dont want a regulatory agency policing based on public opinion
Oxymoronic desire you have there.
Regulatory Agency is funding in by politicians who get elected on the basis of public opinion. The fact that you THINK they are removed from each other (public/agency) is cute.
I am a Libertarian, and oppose most regulations because of this very reason. It isn't that all regulation is bad, it is that some of the resulting regulations are REALLY bad (awful). It will point out that Cannabis is so regulated that any potential good that it also might provide is negated by the fear of the stoners.
Or my favorite, Walnuts are drugs if you make the scientific claims that are provable about walnuts. (The FDA rule was about the claims, not the science behind them)
Actually, Snopes is notorious for using Strawmen for their "debunking". They frame the question, and use one of the more ridiculous examples, rather than the actual one people want to see. I've Caught them enough times to find the whole site more or less untrustworthy as a reference.
Walnuts are poison because scientifically they have proven beneficial to certain heart conditions? That's right, Walnuts can't make a scientifically provable claim, because the claim is reserved for drugs. Nice strawman though.
More importantly, you can actually have scientific evidence to back up claims, but not be able to make the claims because the claims themselves are reserved for "Drugs". Walnuts are drugs, but only if you claim the scientific proof of what they do. Can't have that now can we?
It isn't that walnuts are drugs. It isn't that the effects of walnuts isn't provable. It is that to claim what studies have shown, makes walnuts into "drugs" per FDA, and thus the walnut packagers cannot mention the scientific evidence regarding the "heart healthy" benefits.
Yes, I know the FDA won, but that doesn't negate the reality of the story, walnuts are natural and actually reduces risk for certain heart conditions. But to make those claims, requires walnuts to be classified as a "drug" and subject to FDA approval. This is simply insane.
Actually, making things one way or another because of some "slight" to one group or another is pretty damn insulting. Especially if there is no slight intended.
Lets just face it, boys and girls are different, lets quit trying to make them the same.
Blame the GOP all you want, but both sides have people for and against H1Bs.
But it is much easier to demonize people if you lump them all together huh? Meanwhile Bernie blames ISIS on Climate Change, and you think the GOP are crazy ones.
we need employers to stop pushing so damn hard for college-graduates for jobs that do not need them.
Your focus is wrong. The reason why employers want college degree, is that too many high school graduates can't function in a minimum wage job because they can't read or do math. The problem is that we want kids to graduate through high school, to the point where you can get passed along from grade to grade without actually mastering grade level proficiency.
The problem with "Failure is not an option" is that eventually everyone passes, regardless of proficiency. See, no failures! Everyone gets a "participation" trophy (High School Diploma), making it meaningless. At least college makes people actually pass classes to get a degree.
This is why Employers require college degrees. The requirement of having a minimum set of skills is met with a college degree, not with a High School Diploma.
Homomorphic encryption is a form of encryption that allows computations to be carried out on ciphertext, thus generating an encrypted result which, when decrypted, matches the result of operations performed on the plaintext.
My initial thought was that if Math can be performed that produces the same results Encrypted vs Unencrypted, is that it isn't very well encrypted. My understanding is that the better encryption techniques approaches what looks like static (randomness).
Mind you, I am not an encryption expert by a very very long shot.
Even if you manage to create a EM Drive, you still have a limiting factor of Thrust. Even if you can generate thrust at 2-3 G, you can't run your spaceship at 3 G for long periods of time, without having adverse effects on humans on board. So, if you can manage to create a system of 1.2 constant G thrust, you're limited to only going half way for acceleration,and half way for deceleration. While it might make Solar System trips faster, and you might be able to go out further, it still wouldn't be very practical.
The only way we're leaving this solar system or even reaching out to the edge of it, is if we warp space/time. And at this time, there is nothing even close to reality.
You need to look at the Long Form Census documents. It is ridiculous in nature, and some of the questions are simply an invasion of privacy.
Here is a copy for your viewing pleasure. I realize that plenty of people love and trust the government, and wouldn't have a problem with the form, but I do.
Resources are getting cheaper and easier, which means we can have more people on the list than ever before. I mean if K-Mart can send a direct advertisement to a girl who they think might be pregnant because of buying patterns they noticed, then all that big data the government collects can be used to spot "dangerous" trends.
I told the government "Fuck off" on a census form because I didn't want to tell them all the details of my life. They threatened me with jail and a fine, and I said "Great, I plead the fifth amendment against self incrimination". The representative stood there at my door not knowing what to do. I still haven't been fined or jailed, so I am probably on a watch list.
We (Americans) have "politely" asked our various congress critters to do a lot of things over the years, only to be ignored once they are elected. Oh they have a lot of symbolic (meaningless) votes on stuff that doesn't get passed, or do the whole "I voted for it before I voted against it" two step.
My suggestion is stop voting for the same two animals running the farmhouse.
It doesn't contradict anything, except for pendants who think their way of thinking should rule the world.
Unlimited Data, means data continues to flow, non-stop. Doesn't include rate of which data flows.
Technically speaking, using your exact example, all data is limited already, by technical limits. My Cable is limited to only 150 mb/s, so by your definition, it is "limited" (not unlimited). But my guess is, that you're too simple to understand that you're wrong, even if your own terminology is correct (it isn't).
X > Y "X is bigger than Y" It is an evaluation not an operation. The alligator wants the bigger one.
The fact that people are confused is because they don't understand what is being asked. "Which one do you want, X amount of chocolate or Y amount of Chocolate? Now, say it to explain it...." leaving the answer, "I want X because it is bigger/greater than Y"

get more diversity in tech
Unless you can prove absolute bias in Tech, against whatever group, you're basically making my case for me.
The goal should be the best candidate, not a diverse workplace. Since the days of Grace Hopper and Hedy Lamar, there have been notable women in Tech.
yeah, I said as much. He's not half anything.

The FDA, where Whole milk is dangerous and 32 Vaccine shots are "safe"
Walnuts are poison because scientifically they have proven beneficial to certain heart conditions? That's right, Walnuts can't make a scientifically provable claim, because the claim is reserved for drugs. Nice strawman though.
Just like Tiger Woods isn't Oriental (Tai / Chinese) because he is black, Obama isn't white because he is black.
In other words, I love how people love to say race doesn't matter, when it obviously matters a great deal to them.

So the results are "encrypted". Interesting idea.

You mean like Google Wallet? Or am I missing something. Make it BitCoin and do something interesting.
