You assume that laws are sensible. This is what I envision happening: 1. There will be an Incident. I don't know what the Incident will be, but it will involve a drone operator doing something stupid. Perhaps someone will crash a drone into an aircraft on takeoff, or fly one into a school-bus and cause it to swerve off a bridge. But someone will be stupid, and people will die. 2. Panic, outrage, Something Must Be Done. 3. A strict law will be passed that tightly regulates the use of any radio-controlled aircraft to prevent a repeat of the Incident, possibly requiring a license to fly one of any size. RC aircraft will be covered under this law. Drones for commercial use will be fine, but recreational flying will be dead. There may be an exception for those tiny little toy quads, but only if they don't carry a camera. 4. RC pilots can join amateur chemists, orchid growers and model rocket enthusiasts in grumbling about government control - three other groups who have seen their hobbies suppressed by tight regulation because some of the essential materials they use are also of criminal use and so prohibited or likely to attract unwanted government attention.
The only difference between your RC aircraft and a drone is the skill required by the operator. RC planes and helicopters have a natural filter: You have to be pretty serious to put in the practice hours. A drone can be out the box and in the air in ten minutes, no practice required. The technology beyond that is basically the same: Fans spin, air goes down, craft goes up.
Why is the site covered in cheap clickbait and list articles? Are they that desperate for clicks that they'd list "Grid Girls, Pit Girls photo collection" and "Fame Was The Worst Things That Happened To These 10 Former Child Stars" on the page?
I think those are just advertisments that are deceptively made to look like part of the host site, which is almost worse. thumby.grvcdn.com, you're going on my blocked DNS lookups list.
The business will outsource all their engineering work to a firm in Elbonia who, due to the low cost of living there compared to the US, can hire those former workers for even less pay.
That's great for targeted interception, but you can't use it for large-scale surveillance. Try that and it won't be long before someone notices the suspicious mismatch of certificate hashes.
It's very difficult to actually implement crypto unless you are a highly capable mathematician with a specialism in number theory. That's why the sensible thing is always to use libraries that have been vetted by people who know what they are doing.
I wouldn't be too concerned about the creepy guy. Sure, he might be a pedo casing the joint - but a more likely explanation is a parent of a potential future student trying to get a look at how the students really behave, not how they look on the school website.
Because US politics is based around the adversarial relationship between two factions: When the enemy messes up, it is your duty to make as much of a fuss over this as possible. It distracts attention from what your own side did.
How many customers does Nap/sody have now? Because the only thing that the original Napster and the post-legitimatisation company have in common is the name, and now they don't even have that.
All of the 'respectable' ad-providers prohibit pornography, because a lot of their customers are horrified at the idea of their brand appearing beside pornography in any way. You have to turn to the shadier side of the advertising industry - that's why all the ads you see on porn sites are for either obvious scams, businesses of dubious legality or more porn sites.
You can see it clearly if you take a managed switch apart. There are usually two large chips. A very big one that connects to all the interfaces and does the actual switching logic with specialised silicon, and a much smaller x86 or ARM processor that runs the management software.
The general rule is divide-by-ten: 100Mb link means 10MB throughput. Over eight for the bit-to-byte convertion, but over ten to allow for overhead. It's not exact, but it's a good rule of thumb.
That's a maximum of 19m packets/second - assuming every frame is the minimum size, and you've a ten-gigabit ethernet interface.
So 10mp/s isn't realistic in most situations, but it is possible - and you might hit it if you're trying to monitor traffic on a major backbone link, which is exactly the sort of thing netmap may be used for.
A white officer shooting a black suspect isn't a problem. It becomes a problem when the shooting has no legal justification, such as when the suspect is unarmed and posed no immediate threat. It becomes a racial problem when people start to notice that this situation occurs a lot more often with black victims than with white victims.
But I find your efforts to expunge sport of Viking culture to be offensive. They were about a lot more than the rape and pillage, but the rape and pillage was still a part of their tradition - to try to ignore that is to force them to conform to your own culture and violate their right to their own heritage.
Every operating system in modern use expects the bit after the final period to identify type. It's required for determining which icon to show and which application to open with, so we're stuck with the suffix indicated by a period. There's no reason to hold to three characters any more though.
It's probably best to stick to ASCII printables for the extension too, as not all software supports unicode.
An idea does not reproduce because it is correct. Many ideas thrive even though they are demonstrably false, because they are still psychologically satisfying.
But if you have limited resources to focus on correcting problems, why focus your efforts on a really quite minor concern when those same efforts could be instead focused on a much more serious problem elsewhere? All that time spent complaining that air conditioning thermstats are unfairly biased towards men is time that could be better spent writing to policy-makers in government and, say, urging them to impose sanctions upon Saudi Arabia until they revise their laws restricting the rights of women.
A perjorative label is useful when the target is not only wrong, but wrong in a way sufficiently obvious or well-known that they do not merit the time required to write a detailed refutation of their argument. Sometimes an argument is so pathetic that the correct response is not refutation but outright mockery.
The suite of arguments characterized as 'SJW' is quite wide, and a lot of them do have serious merit - for example, the 'damsel in distress' is overused in computer games. The problem with the SJW crowd is that they use overwhelmingly poor arguments, ridiculous arguments, and do so in a most obnoxious manner. As we see in this case: Someone, somewhere, cannot see the letters 'bro' used as a contraction for a type of pastry without concluding that this is actually a conspiracy of programmers in the male-dominated world of technology to intimidate females out of the field by creating a hostile work environment.
The root of the problem is one that can also be seen in many with a single-minded dedication to a religion or to another political cause. To a person who owns only a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. To a person who has made the crusade against sexism a central pillar of their identity, *everything* looks sexist. Including a.bro file extension. Same applies to race, too.

Parents don't need a reason. They are all proud beyond rationality of everything their spawn does, and social media lets them show the world.
Those types of components are commodity parts anyway. The magic is in the software, and making that disappear is very easy indeed.

Same way they control gliders. It may have no driving engine, but it can still have flaps, or flexing wings. Just needs a compass and GPS unit.

We weren't hacked. We just made an error in configuration that let someone use us as an amplifier.

Now, the video file analyser 'g-spot' on the other hand...
