The way we have it right now, liberals in Texas need not vote - their vote does not matter. End of story. Same for conservatives in California. Because their vote is rounded out, they are not represented in the role of President. You can say they can vote for the House and Senate, but those are often rounded out as well with gerrymandered districts.
Yeah but Allo sucks. Sorry, but I have no compelling reason to use it over Hangouts, iMessage, SMS, Google Chat, or any other chat program (Facebook Messenger comes to mind as well). And Duo - I was let down. I had hoped Google had figured out what secret sauce Apple uses in Facetime to get such effing awesome quality over just LTE or 3G. No one else comes close. I thought, "Hey, Google is made up of engineers, really smart ones too! Surely they can figure it out." I was wrong. I like seeing who's calling me before answering, but that's about the only innovation there, and the call quality isn't up to par.
Sadly this is where Federal and State laws *combine*. For example, by law only the FCC can regulate radio, so as a licensed radio operator, in theory only the FCC may tell me I can't use my radio. But I guarantee the State and local laws that restrict where I may take my radio apply as well. I can't say "you're not the FCC so nyah nyah". Doesn't work like that. If you fly a drone in my property, which is not a 2 dimensional property plot but includes vertical space as well, then yes, you are in MY property and you are trespassing. You need to be aware of what your local and State laws state for property space and their defense.
Sure - instead of putting my CC info into Yet Another Insecure Website Just Waiting To Be Hacked, I can use my secure Apple-stored CC token to purchase a premium app. I trust Apple - I don't (want to) trust Valve, or Steam, or some weird website that offers Paypal OR credit card through some unknown 3rd party provider. Also Apple makes it just take my thumbprint, others have multiple screens or validation codes you have to enter - again, less "friction", more time for more important things in my life.
And then they charge more, or just fail you anyways because they must know more than you or you'd be in that business yourself. It's lame, but it's also really easy for online sites to offload PCI compliance through almost every processor out there, so there's no reason to store the cc info yourself.
Given that the web is an interconnected place, it isn't unreasonable to use resources from other hosts. That's been going on since at least '95. Sigh. Your objection is companies are using that to track you, allowing them to pay slashdot and others to keep websites running.
Too bad its update mechanism sucks balls. You can apply "patches", which I find often require fuzzy matches to work, but you can't actually UPGRADE to a newer version, you have to install that on a separate folder and database, then schedule a time to take it all down and export/import the whole database, orders, themes and all. It's crazy complex compared to Wordpress' simply Upgrade Now button.
Ah but this is mesh (so it's not AMPRNet), and it runs much more bandwidth (higher frequencies tend to have more bandwidth available) and doesn't necessarily require a ham license. Also it could support encryption which is very not allowed on ham bands.
We may have played around with mesh, and there's even a few real deployments in the US, but this is (potentially) production use to connect real users to the Internet. Given that websites are all moving to HTTPS, even the BBHN stuff gets less useful every day except in emergency scenarios.
Well if they refused to work your definition might be valid. Sadly these parents ALREADY HAVE JOBS DIPSTICK! In some cases multiple jobs. Your libertarian right-wing "I hate handouts" bit doesn't actually work in this case because it doesn't apply. It's not welfare, either, it's child welfare - it's helping the CHILDREN of those parents. Because those children will be cooking your next meal, stopping you at your next traffic stop, and saving you from your house fire next time you leave the stove on. Some of those children will even go to college, and could become politicians, making decisions affecting you.
I grew up in poverty, but I did what I could, and with some natural ability and some luck I've done pretty well for myself. Imagine how much more I could have done if I'd not had to worry about food, or heat growing up. Clothes. All of these things would have really helped my attention to school and not starving or freezing. These kids will have those opportunities, and SOCIETY AT LARGE will benefit from them. That's why we have public roads, public schooling, public funding for all sorts of things - it benefits EVERYONE.
So get off your libertarian "I hate poor people" stand. You're not held at gunpoint - none of YOUR money went into the CLEARLY LOCALLY FUNDED district. If you want to complain about someone holding a gun to your head and forcing you to fund something, complain about the military that we have to fund 857 MILLION in "defense spending" when we are at peace with our only two neighbors - Canada and Mexico. But we only spend 393 million on welfare. Source: http://www.usgovernmentspendin...
It's called copy and pasting code. I don't want to have to worry about going over every line ensuring the indentation carried over and either adding or removing it to every line. If the language is brace-based, I can hit Format Document and it adjusts it. Without a delimiter like that, you can't "Format Document".
The US Constitution gives Congress sole law writing authority and they passed laws creating the FAA. Those various laws also grant the FAA the authority to do this. Constitutionally they are very well covered. If you disagree, try suing them and taking it to SCOTUS. Even they will agree due to safety being the main driver.
Also Ubuntu was vastly more up to date than Debian, which always was running 2+ years old libraries. Great for long term servers, not great for cutting edge development and deployments.
Oddly enough, it takes too much time to murder 300+ people with a knife, but fly a drone right into an airplane's engine by accident and not only can you kill everyone on that plane, but people on the ground. Imagine if it went right into a hotel because it crashed as they lost control because your little toy broke their engine. Registration doesn't mean it's dead as a hobby - look at ham radio / amateur radio. We have licenses, we have to pay tests, the cost is MINIMAL even for someone on Social Security, and the more you know the more you're allowed to do. I think drones / civilian UAVs need a similar licensing structure, IMHO.
So when will the cloud providers FINALLY start really supporting IPv6? My company, as many do, uses Amazon EC2, RDS, S3, etc.., and the closest Amazon gets to IPv6 is their load balancers, which can't support the domain apex unless you also use their DNS. I refuse to pay per query for their DNS, so that means I can't use their load balancers for my websites and my client's websites. So no IPv6 for me.
And as far as I can tell, Google's and Microsoft's clouds still don't support IPv6 either..:(
Wow, if only some major provider of computing resources could somehow pool them and resell access, and support IPv6 at the same time. I bet that would drive adoption. Oh well, it was a dream. Still can't use it on Amazon (excluding the worthless-to-me ELB).
Well something "lower" frequency would also require a corresponding larger antenna... Admittedly ADS-B suffers from collisions as it's purely a one-way transmission not unlike APRS.
Amazon STILL doesn't support IPv6 except through their elastic load balancers, and those cant do domain apexs unless you also use their DNS service, and it still doesn't enable internal IPv6 on the actual computing instances. If Amazon supported IPv6, IPv6 adoption and traffic would increase significantly. I have no hope they this will ever happen though given their inability to add it 5 years after being asked and still no time table.

Then they can find a way to make it available.
Um, yes, they do have Bluetooth, as well as BLE. Works just fine with my BT headphones, which I can guarantee are older than BLE itself is.

Leave your bank now. There's no excuse for taking that long in this day and age of CC fraud.

To retain assets, to not squander money on projects that will make the Company no money. Captalism 101.

Hey there's gotta be some way for us hams to use those bands since our HOAs won't let us use them at home. :)
No, for flying an unregistered drone. Difference is HUGE.
Also Ubuntu was vastly more up to date than Debian, which always was running 2+ years old libraries. Great for long term servers, not great for cutting edge development and deployments.
