Also, doesn't this mean that they now have to sue themselves for the MS patents they are infringing by using Linux? I wonder if they have given themselves an NDA to find out what those infringements are finally?
I'm not certain you understand what the term means. You might want to Google it. Aristotle most certainly had a different interpretation of the phrase.
I wish people would stop with the nickelodeon party line bullshit: That other political party is bad, they are eroding your civil liberties!!!. Republicans and Democrats are both complicit. The depressingly small number of privacy protecting politicians defies party lines... People need to stop pretending their party is looking out for civil liberties. They aren't and you're still buying their lies, and pointing fingers. Until all sides are accountable they will play this finger wag game, because people like you fall for it.
I concur. WiFi etc will make the data transmission a non -thing. The outlier differential concept does work well. I already use it in cleaning up point clouds before meshing. Very accurate (RTK) GPS would be a big benefit as well. it would be interesting in your scenario if the map itself over time evolves. Colors when leaves change or fall. Watch a street sign adjust to new grafitti etc. The time lapse/delta would be a useful big data set to mine for many sorts of information.
Point clouds are enormous data sets. It is not uncommon in LIDAR mapping to have the results be several gigs in file size. To send that data back to a central mapping location over cellular is not likely. Also the computation required to make a useful mesh off of a point cloud is equally significant. Then the CPU/GPU/RAM requirements to render and handle that 3D map and have it appear on a low res in screen dashboard is not insignificant. I agree with what you are saying about the data collection, but currently there is no simple way to send and receive the huge amounts of data and have them processed. More likely in the near future autonomous vehicles which return to a spot for physical uploading of TB's of data are more cost effective. Then a hugely decimated mesh is generated and it will slowly begin in appearing in vehicles. Google once again is far ahead in this effort. The alternative: photogrammetry is less data intensive but is better suited to UAV's.
I'm using it right now with 634 RTK Geo referenced photos. Sometimes the results are astonishing, others leave room for improvement. Sony A5100 currently moving to A7R tonight, for use with UAV.
The "Stingray" mimics a cell tower, and operates at a frequency which the police are not legally entitled to broadcast. They force a disconnect from your legal cell tower and take all traffic, and can read and write data and metadata from/to the phone. They are fully capable of intercepting your content communications as well. this isn't exactly an envelope, this is setting up fake mailboxes and catching all mail that goes through and injecting data/metadata/intercepting content into the mail as well. There is nothing legal about this without a warrant, and even with a warrant the claims of legality are spurious at best.
Most police departments won't hire people with IQ's above the range of their "safe zone". They don't want intelligent, think about what you're being asked to do types in the department. It is legal for them to do this because they argue the high turnover rate of intelligent policeman makes training too expensive to waste. All in all I wouldn't expect high levels of scrutiny or complex thought to be put off by this measure. that's already in on the institutional level.
They had to switch from conspiracy theorist when so many horrible things turned out to be true... CT came after crackpot and was then followed by truther...
Windows is losing ground in the mobile sector. The return rates are insanely high on Windows phones. The app selection is losing ground as the ones already made sit aging without updates. Win 10 ubiquity of apps etc is the same claim they had for 8/8.1 and 7 etc.
How about that time when Starbucks stacked the ISO committees to get a ratified undocumented XML as a standard? Or that time when Starbucks had the FUD campaign threatening to sue corporations and home users who used other coffees, due to the Non Disclosed coffee patents they all were infringing?
Starbucks sucks, I won't step foot in one, but MS has a special sort of evil that has fostered a long term distrust and disrespect, that has only been achieved by precious few companies.
The reason Apple's margins work are because of the scale to which they operate. The less than 2% market share which MS owned at the time of purchasing Nokia was no where near enough to operate at those scales, and the equation on their ledgers would and did look nothing like what Apple had. MS was desperate to get a hardware manufacturer, to make their phones which most others refused to touch. The math in buying Nokia was not entirely unlike putting out Win 8/8.1 in a touch format to force their entry into the tablet sector. You can't necessarily buy your way into a market sector. Look at Bing/Nokia/WinRT/Surface Pro's/MS Stores etc.
You know they fired Sinofsky because of Windows 8... Is that because consumers are all petulant assholes? Perhaps if MS wasn't so desperate to try and force their way into the tablet space, Windows wouldn't feel like a bipolar experience. Win 8/8.1 reeks of desperation. I give credit to MS for trying to push the OS forward, but I do not agree that the way forward was forcing in a touch interface to get to the desktop application which is anything but touch friendly.
Verizon takes the subsidies offered by the city/state/county/township, and is beholden to commitments made in order to get the subsidies knowing full well that they will hold up the lawsuits for failure to meet those arrangements in court long enough that no fines will get levied.
The control freak nature was an attempt to control and prevent competition. It served/serves them directly to stifle competition thereby protecting revenue and preventing change. So in short, they are consumed by money and the best way to protect their revenue is through being control freaks. Control of a means of communication is power and money.
Yes, but liberty and constitutional republics.democracies have always come with a known cost/risk. It is a signifier of respect for the citizens and their capacity to reason what is right/wrong and act thereupon. It is a citizens right to operate within a law or not. (Civil Disobedience). What she is asking for is akin to statist control. We don't need controls when we already have a fully functional judicial system of laws and penalties.
A law is different beast altogether, than preventing your liberty to break those laws. This is a software limit enforced by the state. Put a law in place, don't put statist controls in place.
The FAA is already doing this. What part of Diane Feinstein needs to put input about what the updates to the software will be? I trust her lying Surveillance State pushing anti liberty perspective in no way whatsoever. The software and hardware I use is open source so people like her cannot control yet another aspect of my life. If I drink and drone, and do something illegal I deserve the punishment. People like her would mandate we cannot drive our own cars, because what if we do something that endangers the children.

This has been used in archeology for quite some time.
What do you think Google's project tango is for?

Searching for stolen property without knowing the person who stole the property shouldn't require a warrant.
I'm not certain you thought this one out to the consequences.

Well after that .. I'm convinced.

How many of those valuable patents are FRAND?

How can that work with GPL'd software: PGP etc.?

A bird does the same if not more damage than a drone does/would. That is for a drone under 55 lbs. How many drones do you see in that weight class?
