Nope. Every nation on earth maintains double-standard when it comes to this sort of thing. Ultimately, you have to pick a side.

Let's get one thing straight. I am not on the side of any of these putzes. Clear?

could you quote the section of the US Constitution that establishes the right to privacy?

OK, this ring a bell? The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

That's the fourth amendment, in case you are at a loss.

It's kinda hard to have any privacy when jackbooted thugs can just bust in and rifle through your effects on a whim, no?

300 dpi at one meter? Are you high? NO ONE can come anywhere close to that. You fail basic reality.

FYI, 20-20 vision resolves roughly 16 dpi at 6 meters, and you don't even need 20-20 to drive.

No, you're both wrong. In recent years, these conflicts are never resolved at all. They fester forever.

In that particular case, it helps that desalinating the required amount of water doesn't do any more than slightly jiggle the noise in the graph of your propulsion energy. That is not, in general, true.

Joining the service is you giving up your say about where you live. It's their own choice.

Actually, sport aviation under ultralight rules does not have minimum altitude rules per se. And no, you are not allowed to shoot them down. Yes, they could get into trouble doing blatantly dangerous or intrusive things. And I believe they themselves would take umbrage if you operated your drones in any manner dangerous to them. They certainly have the law firmly on their side on that one.

Maybe. But then perhaps its time for Congress to rewrite the mandate and take the commercial/hobby distinction out.

As a hobbyist, no offense but I tell you to STFU. The FAA has gone out of its way to allow hobbyists their niche, and there was nobody and nothing to ever tell them they had to. It is a special exemption, and one that has carefully laid out limits. I appreciate that. If you get your way, the whole goddam thing will just be closed down, because it's completely irrelevant to the mandate to regulate and oversee civil aviation. Nobody will be allowed to sling speeding weights through the air for any purpose, outside the bounds of customary civil aviation.

Let Amazon develop their tech ON THEIR OWN TEST RANGE PROPERTY under experimental rules. As far as I know nobody tells anybody what they can do under those conditions. After they have built up an adequate history proving safety under realistic conditions, then let them apply for type approval like anybody else. And if they are going to fly these hurtling objects down town streets, let them convince all localities they should be allowed to do so.

Pretty sure you can figure it out, champ.

Brake fluid, yeah. Coolant for the battery, yeah. Steering is electric so you lose there. The transmission has no gear change, so no synchro wear due to shifting. It does have gear oil - NOT "transmission fluid" (that's for automatics).

The gear oil is scheduled for change at 12 years / 250,000 km. Brake fluid and coolant once a year - that sounds incredibly conservative, but you have to understand this car could last you an AWFUL long time, so it doesn't make sense to push such paltry expenses.

In 2013 the Tesla S scored a Vehicle Safety Score (VSS) better than any other vehicle tested including every major make and model approved for sale in the US. It exceeded not only all other sedans, but all SUVs and minivans. In side pole intrusion, it was the only one scoring "good", night-and-day far better than the the Volvo S60.

If Roger Rodas had been driving a Tesla instead of a Porsche, maybe he and Paul Walker would still be alive. For one thing the car would not have burst into a raging inferno while Paul was stunned by the collision.

So what would you do with tyrant judges like this one? Let them do anything they want? Would you prosecute the judge if he murdered someone? Locked someone up for life for contempt because he doesn't like the cut of his jib or got up on the wrong side of the bed?

Yeah, that's REAL hard. They just planted files with an mtime, ctime, and atime of 2012.

How can timestamps be "out of sync with the rest of the system"? Every file in the system has different timestamps as it is.

Reactionary? What are you, a shill for tyranny?

I can't wait for this generation to saturate the industry. Fewer bugs, better features, from less nonsense to code programs with. They might even be better as people, with clearer heads. Python might even help you think more clearly.

You want to know what is really funny? What you said works perfectly if taken absolutely on the level.
