Like deGrasse Tyson, "back in the day" I enjoyed LSD as well, when you could get the real thing. These days, I've dialed it down to occasional weed and red wine...
I've written software since the 70s. Never had a problem getting a job. In '08 I left a good company to join a startup, cuz I was young and stupid and wanted a million bux.
You have written software since the 70's, but left a company in '08 because you were young and stupid?
Really? Interesting timeline.
I wrote software in 70s too, but I was 14 and working on my dad's PDP 11-45. So are you telling me that you were writing software for a living when you were a teenager?
Some signed up immediately for drone piloting, one said though they don't get to fly the "real thing" but you don't want to be in the horse calvary when the tank comes along.
I work with USAF pilots, and in fact am sitting right now in the Current Ops of a major AF base. Fact: no officer coming out of pilot school wants drones. None.
It's new technology, you think there will not be glitches and growing pains? It's like the Dreamliner, everyone is saying that Boing will NEVER make money on it. But who thought they would? IT'S BRAND FUCKING NEW TECHNOLOGY.
Back in the 1980's the US Air Traffic Controllers went on strike, and Reagan fired them all with a prevision that they could not be rehired for many, many years. Jets still flew.
Get use to it. Without H1-B reform (not going to happen under Trump / Clinton) , unless you want to walk out now without "parting gifts", you will be training your replacement. Again, without H1-B reform, this will continue to be the "norm".
There are lots of "common sense" things, especially in US manuals, such as don't iron clothes on your body or while taking a bath. Obviously plenty of people need reminders.
If you need to be "reminded" not to fly a drone in the approach path of an airport, you should not be flying a drone. As well, the "reminder" would probably do no do. Flying drones around airports is almost certainly a specific conscious decision.
The bilingual (Chinese/Chinglish) manual makes me understand how to operate the thing, but not a single word about safety. Just adding legal limits (e.g. minimum distance from airports, maximum height, distance from buildings - or even links to national web sites where such rules are explained) of where to fly them would be a great improvement.
Here's a "common sense" suggestion that really shouldn't have to be in the manual: Don't fly your drone in the approach path of an airport.
As someone who works at a major Air Force bace that flies "heavies", I can tell you that often there is no physical damage and the only way to confirm a "bird strike" is the blood left behind, and small drones do not have blood.

Just wondering about the timeline.
...should probably include a hotline number.
Ask Seri.
A researcher who requested anonymity found and recently privately disclosed the issue to Microsoft.

Pfffffft.

Whooooooooosh!
Click bait / flamebait / nonsense-bait / bait.
I'm still unclear on WHY they paid so much over retail.
I can't Up-Mod on topics I've commented on, but if I could, I would.
You sound like a real winner. What does that have to do with anything?
Jealous much?
I don't "do" cocaine or meth, but here in Washington State, I buy my weed at the store and smoke it on my front porch as the cops drive by and wave.
What's your point?
What's yours? You need to work on following a discussion, and reading comprehension.

There has been no evidence presented that it hit a drone. Just speculation at this point
Of course I get all my aerospace news from MarketWatch... However, other sources suggest the pilots saw it bounce off the nose:
After landing, the pilot reported an object - believed to be a drone - had struck the front of the Airbus A320.

But you'll be hard pressed to find anyone who actually agrees that their coffee tastes anything like watered down shit.
I'm sure Tim Horton's is very happy about that.
Funny, because every time I get coffee from one of those little cups it taste like it's already been composted.
Apparently there are millions of people who disagree with you. Oh, but of course your taste is the gold standard...
Typical Tea Bagging right wing nut bar, you have to bring your obsessive politics into everything.
Edward Snowden has been messaging teenagers...
Hmmm...
because they're running vulnerable software, including out-of-date versions of Red Hat's JBoss enterprise application
...and...
hat were running the Destiny management system that many school libraries use to keep track of books and other assets
So is this a JBoss issue? A Destiny Management System issue? What is the vector? The summary is unclear on exactly what the issue is...
Wouldn't it be great if you could read a novel in an hour or two?
I read fiction for relaxation and to enjoy, become mentally immersed in the story, not just to acquire the text in my memory.
To be honest, for me at least, the same often applies to technical material.
And anyone who remains his customer after this is an even bigger idiot.
Perhaps he can become a government contractor...
