It's a case of what is not explicitly allowed is banned, that is the difference between European continental law and English law where things are allowed unless explicitly banned. Here is a quote from the email I had from the CAA -

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"At present the CAA do not allow for these types of flights as there has to be some degree of collision avoidance in that the aircraft must be kept in visual line of sight at all times to avoid a collision.

The CAA does not regulate the use of drones indoors and there is a short section on indoor use at the following web page, about ½ way down the page.

As if a search and rescue, or crop monitoring drone would be useful inside a building, complete madness.

EU drone regulations ban autonomous drones from being flown. This made me stop work on them, this is not a mindset problem. It's actually a corruption problem as Google wanted to sell their software to coordinate drone flights and the EU people were "persuaded" to enact regulations to make this happen.

It's not a surprise that EU countries perform similarly as they have to abide by the same laws and therefore are all restricted in the same ways. For example EU drone regulations prohibit the flying of autonomous drones therefore killing innovation in that area.

Firstly I would not go back to London unless I had the protection level of a government Minister. My life is not worth any amount of money and violence is out of control.

Secondly the government acts as an economic terrorist by stopping innovation. Search engines and social media are a classic example by treating them as publishers so the owners are liable for any copyright infraction. No one is going to build a company with the threat of being prosecuted over the actions of one of their users. This goes for hardware as well, e.g. the government brought in the EU regulations on drones, which bans the flight of autonomous drones and thus stops innovation. This means people like myself who were working on autonomous drones had to stop, causing me to lose out on millions in revenue and the government missed out on the taxes I would have paid.

Short of a revolution or an economic collapse nothing will change. The latter is baked in at this point, when and how bad it will be I do not know, I'm hoping for the best and planning for the worst.

To misquote Bill Clinton, it depends on what the means of 'you' is.

Try navigating using the ATAK app, it can pull in maps and topology-

https://wiki.civtak.org/index.php?title=Getting_Started#Over...

Overview This is a tutorial to help you go from "Zero to Hero" (or perhaps zero to competent user?) on ATAK-Civ. ATAK is a very powerful, enterprise-quality collaborative geospatial situational awareness (SA) tool. That is, it helps you get around like any mapping tool (e.g. Google Maps), but it has a tremendous amount of additional functionality and it is very extensible, though most of the plugins developed either at Government expense or for Government use, are not released to the public. ATAK is much more powerful and easier to use when used in conjunction with a server. See Server options below.

Time Expectation If you have a device configured with ATAK already, it takes about fifteen minutes to get the basics squared away. If you are coming into this fresh, it may take you a couple hours to configure a device and learn your way around.

My first thought was github had been hacked and came here to check what was going on,thanks adamnemecek for clearing the matter up for me.

So not working then?

I would call the anti-Gnostic reaction the Empiricist Jihad.

I think the Gnosticism of The Matrix comes at least in part from Grant Morrison's The Invisibles.

My location is incorrect and there is no manual way to specify my location to find breweries.

From his book blurb "According to Girard, humans don’t desire anything independently. Human desire is mimetic―we imitate what other people want.", he just described NPCs. I'm not an NPC, and would be surprised if there are any here.

Training the postal service to be able to take nasal swabs could scale this though you would need to robocall all those on the postal route what time to present themselves at the edge of their property. Starting with geographic locations where there have been clusters, then individual cases, then the general population. Also when an antibody test is available have them delivered by the postal service with instructions and URL for a video on how to administer it.

I nearly forgot to mention mindpixel AKA Chris McKinstry, I remember his suicide was a such shock. I can't think of anyone else who could write about mind and thought, and hypersurfaces and Hopf maps in a suicide note.

K5 as it was usually shortened to, had a few very interesting people on it back in its heyday such as Micheal Crawford who wrote about Living with Schizoaffective Disorder and localroger who wrote The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect. It was reddit with all the weird kids.

Thanks, I hadn't noticed that, now it looks like only 25GB and no hotspot, I'll have to try Canaries Wireless next time I'm out there.

The DSL service we have had over the last year in Los Gigantes in Tenerife has been atrocious, down from 3Mbps to under 1Mbps, we are better off with a 3G connection and if you go with UKs 3 network you can roam there and use up to 250GB a month on the all you can eat plan.

All I get is "Basic Web is unable to make a secure connection at this time" on my Kindle DX, if anyone knows a workaround it would be helpful.

I have a Kyobo tablet with a Mirasol display, and while it is vastly underpowered and less than 6 inch display it's still pretty good for watching video on YouTube etc. in full sunlight. The only real drawback of the display is that whites can look silvery depending on how it, you, and the sun are angled.

They are also at the heart of the SPICE circuit simulator[1]

This seems very bad, I'm assuming this applies to all customers whether businesses or not, so here are a few potential gotchas I see-

1. You sell to an individual who is not in the country that their payment information is related to and is not delivered to that country, do you charge VAT based on the payment information alone or do you have to physically verify that they are in the country claiming the VAT?

2. Prepaid CC can have false information, how do you determine is it is true so you can charge the right VAT?

3. Fraud, if you sell something to a fraudster, do you have to find out which country the fraudster was in to determine VAT you owe after the fact?

4. What about Bitcoin transactions where no location information is known?

Would it be possible to transfer the name initially to a front company, resell it on to the intended company with a clause that says it cannot be clawed back and then bankrupt the first so creating a legal firewall?

Or just make a 3D ivory printer and flood the market undercutting the poachers.
