Exactly what Ben Franklin and Andrew Carnegie envisioned when they were pushing for their existence and expansion; "Support the publishers over the common man!!!"

To counteract Newtons third law: the gun and ammo is light, just install two guns with equal ammunition and fire off two rounds in opposite directions, or use the inertia as part of the overall maneuvering computations.

I'm not sure how this could be expected - there are numerous open-source flight software solutions out there which is the "firmware" that is used. And most have GPS flight automation options, so homing in on the pilots radio signal isn't an option either.

How about we look at ways to incentivize the detection and possible safety responses rather than assuming yet another law will stop anyone wanting to do bad?

The article and bill are aimed at larger organizations (e.g. Amazon, UPS, FexEx, etc) so the legal teeth to an un-marked drone found in their hangar is more realistic (but small).

If someone expects every over-seas bulk producer of toy and consumer drones to apply a unique serial number on each part and make that list available publicly, they are greatly overestimating their quality assurance process. :)

And even if you push the requirement back to the time-of-sale to track the serial numbers (like US Gun sales laws), you're now ignoring the millions of 3D printers in the world.

What we need to be funding is the scientific research into sense and track small objects in flight. Then it could help with the drone tracking plus it could have spin-off benefits to natural science (tracking birds and insects), military (tracking smaller drones and small ballistic ordinance), cars (track smaller and more numerous objects around a car). And I'm sure there are areas that would benefit that I'm not even thinking of.

It's Oracle - their legal department will ensure either **they** make a living off of it, or **nobody** makes a living off of it.

And by "it" I mean Java, but possibly business Linux distributions.

And I'd really like to know what the process for Oracle to come out with version 8 - did they truly download the source RPMs from redhat.com for their base, or did they truly start with the same versions? The former sounds like it's the only way to ensure substantial compatibility at all levels, but the second seems like the only legally defensible way to work long-term.

Meanwhile, a federal judge has dismissed a case Playboy brought against Happy Mutants, the parent company of Boing Boing for doing something similar.

The article on Ars: https://arstechnica.com/tech-p...

From the article:
Back in November 2017, Playboy Entertainment Group sued Boing Boing, accusing it of violating the company’s copyright when, in February 2016, the website simply linked to a separate online collection of "Every Playboy Playmate Centerfold Ever." That portfolio, which was hosted on Imgur, has since been removed. Imgur did not immediately respond to Ars’ request for comment.

Because Boing Boing has advertising on its site, Playboy argued, it is profiting from those unauthorized images.

However in a Wednesday order, US District Judge Fernando Olguin slammed Playboy Entertainment in polite legalese.

"The court is skeptical that plaintiff has sufficiently alleged facts to support either its inducement or material contribution theories of copyright infringement," he wrote.

So, with the new FCC ruling overriding states abilities to setup their own NN rules, will this ALSO override these state/city agreements, effectively opening up these right-of-ways and last mile runs?

If the FCC does trump these, then the FCC/FTC will have to write a ruling on this one way or another. I assume if the "we choose to not write one" option is pursued, then a court case forcing the issue will come about.

If the FCC ruling does NOT trump these, then setting up additional clauses in the agreements could easily have other provisions such as requiring zero-rating for all content (replace with legal wiggle words that aren't "NN" but have the same effect).

The FCC and large ISPs can't have it both ways - we just have to be smart about using the new laws to our favor.

For all the pain this has called me, I'm glad our national nightmare is finally over!

>Do you believe rehabilitation is impossible or do you want revenge?

I don't believe that someone who commits mass murder can be rehabilitated, no. It isn't about revenge; it's about public safety.

Someone once pointed out that hoping a rapist gets raped in prison isn't a victory for his victim(s), because it somehow gives him what he had coming to him, but it's actually a victory for rape and violence. I wish I could remember who said that, because they are right. The score doesn't go Rapist: 1 World: 1. It goes Rape: 2.

What this man did is unspeakable, and he absolutely deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison. If he needs to be kept away from other prisoners as a safety issue, there are ways to do that without keeping him in solitary confinement, which has been shown conclusively to be profoundly cruel and harmful.

Putting him in solitary confinement, as a punitive measure, is not a victory for the good people in the world. It's a victory for inhumane treatment of human beings. This ruling is, in my opinion, very good and very strong for human rights, *precisely* because it was brought by such a despicable and horrible person. It affirms that all of us have basic human rights, even the absolute worst of us on this planet.

This is precisely why I lost all interest in Oculus the instant I heard that it had been acquired by Facebook.

and drops a malicious shared object named 'libworker.so'

After that, the PHP dropper creates a shell script named '1.sh',

And for each of those, they present some example contents that could be used to verify it is part of this infection.

"I see you're trying to fix a linear accelerator, would you like some help?"

And who is responsible when the system tells the human to incorrectly repair something? If taken to the extreme companies will (attempt to) hire the least expensive human asset and expect the computer system to provide infallible information.

I quickly read the Wired article hoping to find a joke but didn't find the punchline...
