Comment Re:Unless NoFLyZone is part of the FAA (Score 2) 168

Pilot here : 3000 feet is WAY too high for one thing. Somedays I never get above 1000 feet. The other thing is a "be careful what you wish for" issue. Right now the FAA can and will come after me if I fly lower than 1000 feet over your house. If you make an "FAA free zone" for me to play under, you might not like the results.

"Siri, where is the nearest gas station" is too hard half the time. The only real use for Siri was on long trips - we would give the phone to my toddler age son and let him ask Siri things and then argue with her about her nonsense answers for miles andnmiles LOL.

This can be good for the police to map out all the buyers and suppliers over time. It can be an utter nightmare for the neighbors with the crime and violence that the police do nothing to stop in the short run. I knew of a situation like this some years ago where the neighbors took to burning whatever cars the dealers managed to buy until they got a clue and left.

WRONG - otherwise my heat pump would not work. Take a heat pump and put one end in outer space to radiate heat away from us. The only issue I can see is procurement. Where oh where are we going to get 48,000 miles of copper line, 24,000 miles of electrical cord, and 10 million tanks of Freon? Also have ot look into voiding the warranty for putting the compressor end out in space.
