This technology has been available in Cadillacs for years. Go drive an ATS if you want to see it in action. Not distracting at all.

For a while they even had a radar overlay so you could see deer in the road on your HUD before your eyes could in the dark.

I thought exactly the same thing as I read this.

GM's is cool too because they have an API that allows you to remotely get vehicle data through Onstar. This allows approved apps to get data like fuel level, vehicle alarm alerts, oil life, fuel economy, remote start/stop, location, speed and direction etc. Not sure Ford has anything like that..

Or you could just use the unlimited TunnelBear VPN for $5 a month.
I agree. Ohio has a whole fleet of police planes that they've been using to catch speeders on the highway for a long time.

Also if you look at the FAA drone authorization list on the EFF's website most of the organizations getting authorization are either US DOD or Universities (Probably being used for research not surveillance). Not many police organizations.

I'm not really familiar with the AGPL. Why is it problematic?

Is there english documentation? I only see the zip download. Is this code on github?

django-userena is nifty, I'm surprised it's not used more often.
Re:Django Facebook on Monday May 28, 2012 @11:56AM (#4033877)
I like it. Seems easier to setup then django-social-auth. The extra information given on the blog is nice too.
Re:Show HN: Stallion - Python Package Manager on Friday May 25, 2012 @09:51PM (#4026143)
Very cool. Although it says it's "created to provide an "easy-to-use" visual interface for Python newcomers." and still requires the command line to install.
Re:Test-Driven Django Tutorial on Saturday May 19, 2012 @03:49PM (#3996857)
I recently started learning Django for a project I'm working on. I've been reading the django book at djangobook.com, but it doesn't really talk about writing tests. This is awesome, every Django developer should know how to do this.
I think capitalism overall is a good system. Unfortunately, it doesn't work very well with health care due in large part to information asymmetries and moral hazard.
Hopefully higher courts will make similar judgements.

Cool idea, but I'll stick with Github + Octopress.
Re:Jotform domain seized by US due to user generated content on Wednesday February 15, 2012 @10:13PM (#3597201)
This is interesting. Obviously you've moved your domain away from GoDaddy, what are some more reputable registrars?
