No, the overwhelming majority of you did NOT build your own, and have zero training. So, take your homebuilt one, and go show others how to be responsible with theirs, because there are many (not most) who aren't.
Parent isn't at all insightful. Neither flight plans nor registration are required for a private aircraft to fly into a local airport under VFR conditions. Private pilot here.
If you receive the transmissions directly from nearby planes, you can track whoever you damn well please, because the only way to prevent it would be for the airplane to turn off it's transponder, which is illegal
Nit: Except that not all aircraft are required to have transponders. Here's info from the AOPA... Exemptions
Aircraft not originally certificated with an engine-driven electrical system or subsequently have not been certified with such a system installed, balloons, or gliders may conduct operations:
In the airspace within 30 nautical miles of the listed airports as long as operations are conducted: Outside of Class A, B, and C airspace. Below the altitude of the ceiling of a Class B or Class C airspace area designated for an airport, or 10,000 feet msl, whichever is lower. Above 10,000 feet msl (excluding airspace above the lateral limits of Class B and C airspace).
I have 3 of them just down the hall, and each of them have quirks, such as doors that close and reopen repeatedly w/o any reason. In my previous (government) building, I had a coworker get stuck inside one for several hours on a weekend when nobody was around.
Oh please. I've worked on military contracts for decades, and you're full of shit. Yes, there are cases where they sole source for various reasons, but that's the exception. I've even seen them compete long term contracts where there really was a most desirable vendor, by bringing in competitors, they're able to drive down that vendor's price.
I'm going to make the assumption that you're American.
Without the US military, you'd likely be speaking German, Japanese, or Russian by now. You seem to be insinuating that we don't need a military, to which I just don't know what to tell you other than that I've been in and around the military for over 40 years, and would gladly call bullshit. Yeah, the military has done some bad shit over time, and they should be called out on those issues. That doesn't mean that you don't need them.
Japan's support to our military has allowed them the long term cost savings of not having to build their own defense...clearly a cost savings. North Korea has been threatening them for ages. I've been to installations in Japan and Korea (lived there for years)...they're happy we're there.
You speak out of your ass when you state that China has backed off of military domination while they continue to create fake island bases to control shipping routes, and claim lands that historically belonged to Vietnam and the Philippines, not to mention their continued attempt to dominate Taiwan.
While the odds are that you're correct, you might want to check your ageism. There are plenty of senior geeks...I started working on computers in the early 70s.
So you're okay with them finding a way to void the user's preferences? Sorry, if a user chooses not to be tracked, and there's a way around that, bug or otherwise, that request should be observed no matter what. And anyone doing otherwise should be liable.
It's not secret once you tell everyone- and there is no strategic advantage in telling everyone... therefore... it's probably not real.
So, if I tell everyone that I have nukes, there's no longer a strategic advantage? Or, if I don't have a capability to shutdown the powergrid, but I tell them that I do, that's not a strategic advantage? Sorry, but deception is a large part of the game. Some of it's about "leaks" real or purposefully in order to get your opposition to waste time/effort/money. Part of what ended the Cold War was announcing a 600 ship navy that the Soviets couldn't afford to do much about.
I don't know where the hell you're looking, but $100k developer jobs are a dime a dozen. I'm a software hiring manager. If you can't find more than just Google, FB, Netflix and Amazon, you're not looking.
Can't believe I'm gonna respond to an AC troll, but here goes...
Jobs are a dime a dozen. We have record low unemployment, and it's even better in tech. If you can't find a decent job in tech, that's on you. Now get the fuck off my lawn you moron.
Spoofing should be illegal unless the company doing the spoofing owns both numbers.

In the United States, telemarketers are required to transmit caller ID.[16] This requirement went into effect on January 29, 2004.[17] Courts have ruled that caller ID is admissible.[18] Providers are required by FCC rules to offer "per-call" blocking of caller ID to their customers. Legislation in the United States in 2007 made caller ID spoofing illegal for fraudulent purposes.
It's a cultural issue there. I say this from six years of personal observation. Bribery is commonplace among nearly all government officials. If you want to get something done at a government office, you can expect to have to pay some cash in addition to the actual fees if you want to get what you're after in any kind of reasonable time. FWIW, I'm not biased against the people...I married one of them.
And that is why the Board of Directors and C-Suite should all be punished financially in addition to the company. It's the only way this kind of shit is going end. But, that will likely never happen because it would impact lawyers ability to get rich.

When did CA stop requiring emissions testing? I sold my '78 Trans Am there in 1979, and had to get emissions tested.

I would call the management which allowed such a situation to occur a 4th
I would call the management which allowed this to happen evil SOBs who should be sent to jail for pushing their schedule over safety.
Yes, even if you're going the speed limit, there's a reason that the signs tell you that slower traffic should keep to the right.

I can get that "fat six-figure paycheck" at a few thousand companies. So now I can be picky and work on things I believe in, as can most developers.
Amazon isn't a monopoly in the strict sense of the word only. Google isn't a monopoly like Amazon either.
