Thousands of military drones have been remotely piloted for decades. This news isn't as ground breaking as it might seem. Some of these drones are large: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_Grumman_RQ-4_Global_Hawk

I know a military drone isn't the same as a passenger carrying airplane, but for cargo I think the only reason this isn't already a thing is because drones are military tech and most governments don't want that falling into the wrong hands.

How does it stream things/what's the point of a Roku if it's not connected to the Internet?

I like this sentiment, but giving the US intelligence apparatus what amounts to a veto for elected/appointed officials feels like a recipe for disaster.

The only way I see that being workable is if the clearance grantors are transparently beholden to elected officials or the people directly. Which are essentially what elections and the congressional confirmation process are supposed to be. But both of those processes feel like they've been subverted.

Op, did you make this yourself or buy it somewhere? What do you play where you want this kind of mouse? I'm interested in mice where the sensor is closer towards the finger tips and it looks like that's what this is? Would you say that makes more of a difference than the weight?

I've never heard of k8s described as a modern implementation of a Linux distro. What makes you say that?

How is you posting about your music on a forum not an ad? You saying you only reach people who might already be interested is just saying that you target your ads.

Do you consider it different because you're an individual doing it manually?
