This is neat, but unfortunately ADS-B will not be required for all aircraft in 2020. It will only be required for aircraft within a 30 NM circle of certain major airports and inside (and above) class B or class C airspace.

Realistically, most will probably install ADS-B out transponders. But there will be areas where pilots fly (Alaska, Pacific Southwest desert areas) where it won't be uncommon for airplanes to be missing ADS-B out.

What happens when your funding and AWS credits run out?

I think it's because it helps the big tech companies sell more stuff later on.

If you have a smart speaker, you are probably more likely to be a Prime member, Spotify subscriber, and make purchases with Amazon or Google Express via the speaker.

Does Apple not require engineers to write regression tests? I really hope there is a blog post or press release explaining what happened.

Wow, that has to be the worst website I've visited in a very long time. The page was white for about 10 seconds, the videos were laggy/stuttering, the moving content below the first video had random black artifacts popping up.

This isn't removal of privacy. The article even says that the information would be limited to transcripts of interactions for skills that the developer owns.

Currently developers can only see what users are trying to do if they successfully invoke a registered "intent". For example: GetHoroscope what is the horoscope for {Sign}. The only information that the developer can currently see is that the user invoked the "What is the horoscope for" intent and provided the "Sign" parameter.

This would allow developers to handle all interactions with their skill, not just registered intents.

It seems like your nginx proxy is having trouble... I keep getting the same ip from DNS and nginx error messages. Maybe you should bring up some more and at the very least use DNS to send requests round-robin to the proxies.

Back in November 2014, there were at least 10,130,200 IP addresses in the EC2 range. So there are potentially way more than that today due to growth of EC2 and IP addresses required for other AWS services.

Qualcomm is up in the Mira Mesa area and has a really cool museum of the history of CDMA and cell phones in their headquarters building (Building N). They've got big tubes of chips showing how they have decreased in size over time, a van that they used to demo CDMA to investors 20+ years ago, demo Android devices, a cool Mirasol display, some parts of their truck tracking system, and a bunch of stuff about the history of the company.

You do need to have an employee ID badge to get into the area that the museum is in, but I bet if you called them or know someone who currently works there they could show you around.

Looks like we took down their iframes

I interned at Qualcomm once, and they are a pretty great place to work if you are a software engineer with experience in mobile, embedded systems, or even .NET. Plus their mobile computing division is growing incredibly quickly. Over the course of my 3 month internship, my team almost doubled in size.

There is also a great web/javascript community that is growing in the area called sandiego.js (http://sandiegojs.org/). I attended most of their talks this summer and there were always people looking to hire people to do work for them.
