Comment Re:You don't know if the new images are from drone (Score 1) 141

Austin has had max zoom for years, and almost certainly from aerial photography. I do see that there is a new 45-degree view, but there is still nothing to indicate that they used an unmanned drone to take the pictures. There's no good reason they can't just tilt the camera on a normal aerial photography plane.

Others have mentioned that licenses for a commercial company to operate unmanned drones over cities are very hard to get. What if the drones are for UN-populated areas? There's been plenty of aerial photography done over highly populated areas, but not over the middle of nowhere. (This is depending on the area; I remember that some states seem to have had total coverage done.)

but it could also be argued that people have died who otherwise would not have needed to, if we had continued research uninterrupted.

Well, all except for that little bothersome detail about no actual therapies being derived yet from embryonic stem cells in the dozens of other countries completely unaffected by the ban. Because there is no other place doing science outside of GOD BLESS MURRICA!

I'll take a therapy that doesn't require immunosuppressants, tyvm.
