my local webserver is internet accessible (like many)

either way they have to be on the same network, cloud or no cloud, but anyways, most phones nowadays are connected to the Internet...

That would make sense most of the time. Do you want them to filter words like "maybe" and "perhaps" too? I think there is enough censoring on HN already.

they try to milk it (and it appears to work)... there is always pre-paid-no-contract plans BYOD

the web is available everywhere unlike the apps... (the app could even be web based)

that would make sense but they keep more control when they use the cloud instead of a built-in web server

if one motor fails on a quadcopter, it can be saved [1] ... so that might increase reliability when compared to an helicopter.

Until they work out the heating issue and start using an external power supply, they possibly could trigger it manually (picture instead of video).

The 20 minute flight time is nothing to brag about... the much cheaper microquad apparently flies for 10 minutes. If you want a drone with real flight time, you need to go with a plane-type craft.

Probably more like a Tesla VS gas powered go-kart.

I didn't compare the specs but you can get a quadcopter for $38 shipping included http://www.amazon.com/my-first-quad/dp/B00IZC6C8E/

I heard a while back that to be the biggest winner, you need to be in the nano-second range for your latency (for example, you would need to rent server space at the stock exchange and not be running any firewall/etc to have minimum latency) ... I don't think that he is talking about the large players in his articles because he is still in the millisecond range which is very slow for this purpose. In 2011, microseconds were apparently for big players (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjIdzBtTBnI)

hopefully they made less then $600,000 in profits from their access points...

According to NSA's three degrees of separation rule, I would say yes.

Does reddit still have 51 employees?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reddit

isn't reddit's software open source?

https://github.com/reddit/reddit

Is that to provide users with a false sense of security since US law enforcement can secretly ask for the decryption keys?

most of the biggest users of earth's resources already don't care (think companies that prioritize profit over everything else), so why would you think that it would be worst?

or just add labels on the graph itself and you won't even need colors (bonus for the color blinds)

a government that wants to stay in power

I would say that over-engineered goods are the ones that last just long enough (and not any more) so that most customers don't feel like they were ripped off when they need to replace the product. The products that you are refering to were under-engineered (they were engineered on the safe side).

as usual, the smaller the crime the larger the risk

Also, just because there is no research labs doesn't mean employees aren't allowed to do some blue-sky research.

have you ever tried a phone featuring a sliding keyboard? is it not easier/faster then a touch screen?

I have no clue why physical sliding keyboards basically disappeared from "smart phones"... they are not only good for the blinds (I guess they probably make pretty much the same amount of money whether they include it or not)

Since you can't prove a negative; Any proof that Home Depot benefited from this?

Would you have been protected by Adblock Plus since it allows Google ads (default config)?

It doesn't talk about welding....

Why do you need the NSA when you have Google?
