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.

ATS HUD: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpXYwoZ6zWw

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.

Looks like the Cadillac HUD is fairly low on the windshield:

I thought exactly the same thing as I read this.

It's Michigan For god sakes!

THE BIG HOUSE!

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.

And potentially send sensitive traffic through an untrusted third party. Some people are comfortable with that, some people aren't.

You can disconnect from the VPN after you're done watching.

All of the UK-endpoint VPN providers I considered were sketchy in one way or another, and most of them had very poor speeds from the UK to the US. A VPN connection usually bypasses your local firewall too, depending on configuration, which means you really, really have to trust the people running your VPN service, and trust that they isolated their customers from each other. Linode, on the other hand, is a well-respected company with extremely good connectivity (I get 160ms pings from San Diego, CA and more than 30mbit/s transfer). And I know the guy who is running my VPN service on Linode: me.

If you're the kind of person who gladly exchanges security and privacy for $10 to $15, then those other options are for you.

And how do you determine that Linode is more trustworthy than TunnelBear?

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.

Someone deformed poor Michigan..

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

It differs from GPL in that it is "viral" also when served through the web, so it could mean that your whole web application must either be AGPL, or you must buy an exception from the developer.

AGPL is a new license, and so there are few examples of how it affects things in practice. Many developers (especially ones building open source under less-strict license) prefer to keep their distance.

Not to mention that there is no way to know how a viral license even works when dealing with a non-linked language like Javascript or HTML.

The goal of the AGPL was to keep people from modifying GPL programs that were essential on the backend, but then keep their modifications hidden. With the normal GPL, if you don't distribute a binary, you don't have to release your code. With the AGPL, the goal was to force people to also release backend code. But code licenses start to get very shaky when we aren't talking about binary-linked modules.

Does just linking to their hosted js and CSS force you to open up your backend under AGPL?

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.
