Comment Re:How long before the FAA stops this? (Score 1) 49

Australia has been doing drones "legally" for a whole lot longer than the U.S.

Here, it was just forbidden for commercial use, period (well, sure, you can do it with some special paperwork and exemption certificates and hearings and....). Interesting development if it is freely legal now.

Comment Re:Personal Traffic Jam Drones (Score 1) 49

Sounds good, but only if you have a 2nd driver (for the drone) onboard. Otherwise, regardless of how self-piloting the drone is, you should be parked, stationary and out of the way of any traffic, before giving attention over to a flying vehicle with 3 degrees of freedom and a crappy blurry jumpy video feed.

They must just be asking a lot of people who are understand math and have a little discipline. A carpenter can become a millionaire by retirement, all you have to do is start saving and keep saving.

I fully intend to be a millionaire by the time I retire, and with inflation that should be enough for a tent and some camping supplies.

^^^This, exactly!

I assume the people asking / answering the question are talking about being a millionaire in today's dollars... already it is easier by a factor of 4 since I graduated high school (1984) to accumulate 7 figures in your net worth.
