I had that link too, but I thought the film is a bit more sarcastic due to the multiple personality disorder

Actually non-user "service" accounts that all the devs my trusted colleagues share.

Well, I'm a dev and no one has shared these with me.
Share away... 
These service accounts do include Netflix access, right?

As long as you're aware that anyone can decompile your code to get those credentials 
|
|
|
|
|

Doesn't matter...wherever and however you store them the decompile will tell someone how to get them. Even if you encrypt them the method and keys will be in your code\config.

No, the user names are in the config; the app prompts for the passwords.

That actually sounds about as clean as it can get, given what you have to work with and the restrictions in place.
The app I work on at work (well, I only work on a very small part of it) needs to do impersonation in a few key places, and the library "we" (not "I") put together relies on exactly that. I've never studied the implementation all that closely to understand it, but I do recall seeing some rather exhaustive and nasty-looking error-handling and fallback code, with P/Invoke added in there to muddy the waters. That code's evolved over a period of 10+ years, so I can only imagine the feeling when you got it working...

We really should not do it this way. But, Sometimes things have to be done in order to please the overlords.

Having been an "overlord" I have learned that, like personal relationships, stuff like this is always due to poor communication -- usually on both sides of the fence.

I had the dubious pleasure of working for some 'overlords' who had lost their grasp on reality. Their expectations were absolutely unrealistic, given the poor shape of their projects and they never realized that it was their precious way of micromanaging things that led to this poor quality.

Totally agree. There are bad managers out there just like there are bad devs out there. Micromanagement is usually the result of feeling out of control of the situation so they have to over-compensate. And that tends to happen when people have no idea what they're doing. Me still thinks the best managers used to be devs, that way they have a clue what's going on. But, I digress.

The drones you have to worry about are those that aren't public knowledge. Things like mosquito drones that can infiltrate small domains, like homes, without being seen.
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

I think the drone has that follow feature too, so it could follow you on the highway or going down a mountain on skis.
Booooring. I want to fly myself, not watch a microcontroller do it.
Besides that, this is more than dangerous. If only a single motor fails, this thing will come down. The electronics will not help a bit and most owners of these toys would have the skill to bring it down safely with limited control. They will certainly not be able to do it when their toy is out of sight. One day someone will be hurt or even killed in an accident and then we are all going to have lots of fun because of such an idiot.

I suspect that serious legislation will be forthcoming limiting everybody's ability to fly RC as a result of these things.
The UEFA (Wendyball) Champions League Final on Saturday had to be played in a stadium with the roof closed to prevent drone attacks ... so security folks are already cautious. Government workers (well known for their sense of fun everywhere in the world) will probably overreact soon.

This has already been happening for incidents where nothing really happened and nobody really could say, what exactly they saw. We do not need new laws, they just need to enforce the ones that we already have and apply them to those who don't quite get it.
