Comment Re:I can't find the commercial speech section (Score 3, Insightful) 239

The guy should post the video on his own, non-commercial web site.

Once you start arguing that it's not the operator making money, you open a slippery slope where one person makes money on videos (making it commercial) which a friend made using a drone. Then, they reverse roles.

The simple fact is, money is being made from the video, which makes it commerce. Even if "the guy" didn't receive any payment, he is clearly participating in Interstate Commerce, which is subject to regulation.

"What about all the skydivers who do the same thing? What about passengers on commercial flights? They don't have a license; the airline or pilot does."

In both cases, the activity is licensed. The pilot is responsible for the behavior of passengers (hence the laws against interfering with flight crews and their strict enforcement), as are drop pilots:

14 CFR Part 105...Holds the pilot responsible for jumps that create a hazard to air traffic or persons, or property on the ground.

I think you want to refer to the Commerce Clause. And, the action is not agains "speech" per se, but against the commercial use of drones. The FAA won't bother him about advertising revenue from non-drone videos, or about using drones as a hobby. It's when he combines the two that it becomes a commercial activity (and yes, earning advertising revenue via Youtube is Interstate Commerce).

So, what implementation of the NTP protocol do you use? Chrony?

The reference implementation, which is the subject of the article, is what's used by pretty much everyone. Name a significant OS/distribution which doesn't use ntpd.

Oh, and that includes OS X, contrary to your incorrect claim:

macmini-2:~ msauve$ ntpd --version
ntpd - NTP daemon program - Ver. 4.2.6

--OS X Yosemite

You are correct about one thing - it is a shitty implementation. It doesn't even follow RFC 5905, which it's supposed to be the reference for.
