canow··on Notifications for targeted attacks
This is so stupid since they can be forced to give information with no hacking involved...
canow··on U.S. Will Require Drones to Be Registered
ok, so just use an helicopter and load it with some random human and you'll be fine... no restrictions (as long as you don't crash). I'll use this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hughes-269A-Helicopter-/201447206828...
canow··on U.S. Will Require Drones to Be Registered
but tiny toy battery-operated "drones" typically fly at much lower altitude then any jet engine would be flying at... while some birds fly at much higher altitudes then toy quadcopters...
canow··on U.S. Will Require Drones to Be Registered
Drones are army planes that can fly for hours and probably weight hundreds if not thousands of pounds... Quadcopters are toys that can fly for minutes and weight only a few pounds...
canow··on U.S. Will Require Drones to Be Registered
They probably should require all birds to be geolocated as well... since they present about the same level of danger to real aircrafts..
canow··on Hillary Clinton Is Wrong About Edward Snowden
If Obama had the opportunity to do the opposite of pardoning him, I'm sure he would. In fact, a drone strike might be what he is thinking about if he wasn't in Russia.
canow··on Photos of sunset with the sun replaced by other stars
my guess would be that all stars would look about the same but be at different distances because of size (otherwise, no life)?
canow··on Steve Ballmer owns more of Twitter (4%) than CEO Jack Dorsey
sorry for his loss... Twitter appears to lack something from management.
canow··on Chattanooga to offer 10 gigabit internet service starting today
somewhat off-topic but 10Gbps would be pretty hard to fully utilize for the normal user... mosts sites/servers probably won't even send you small files at this speed.
canow··on The TV antenna is making a comeback
I'm in Florida, English and Spanish are the only 2 languages and most are English but there is probably 10 to 15 Spanish channels. But to tell you the truth I only watch a few of those, just like I did when I had cable.
canow··on The TV antenna is making a comeback
I get about 50 free over-the-air channels ... most are HD.
canow··on The TV antenna is making a comeback
of course if you pay for everything on-demand, you don't need anything else...
canow··on The Drone Papers
When Obama says something meaningful, you can assume that it is a lie... like stopping the militarization of local city police forces with MRAPs and such (or not renewing the (un)"PATRIOT" Act..
canow··on The TV antenna is making a comeback
That sure ain't less the Internet service alone, I pay $25/month for 25mbit/s download
canow··on Show HN: Micro web framework for low-resource systems – live example on ESP8266
I was thinking mainly of infrastructure...
canow··on Laser Razor suspended by Kickstarter
that policy is probably about a couple years old.
canow··on Show HN: Micro web framework for low-resource systems – live example on ESP8266
this kind of thing gives me hope that Google could be replicated on a low budget
canow··on How to Download a List of All Registered Domain Names
would it be easier to download a list of available domains?
canow··on Just Say No to Facebook's Internet.org, Says Inventor of World Wide Web
Don't worry, it will become more limited as it become more popular. Limited Internet is bad.
canow··on Ask HN: 512GB flash is cheap and small. Why does high-end phones have 64GB?
I haven't thought of that, just another reason to get much better batteries. But to tell you the truth, I would trade very high definition 6" screen for more storage and a smaller screen.
canow··on Ask HN: 512GB flash is cheap and small. Why does high-end phones have 64GB?
I would be using the phone as a backup of my main data and I don't care how long it takes to first transfer it because it would be fast to transfer the data changes using wifi-ac afterwards
canow··on Mercury Spill
Health insurance is somewhat the same too... Hospitals and Dentists have special rates for insured patients (much higher)... you can end up paying the same as an uninsured patient... Which is why I was getting hospitalization-only insurance, but with Obama-care, I can't do that anymore.

Also, I have been told that it might be illegal to claim that you are uninsured, pay the bill and then get reimbursed by your insurance company to avoid surcharges... not sure if that is true.

canow··on FBI director calls lack of data on police shootings "ridiculous," "embarrassing"
List of killings by law enforcement officers in the United States: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_killings_by_law_enforc...
canow··on Show HN: Yet Another Log Viewer
I submitted a link to HN and by the time the page refreshed, this link was posted and already had an upvote, seems fishy... (milliseconds between the submission and upvote)
