From heaven to hell is a doctrine held for thousands of years. In the US public airspace is defined as navigable airspace above 500ft. Again I ask, why are so many here eager to cede property rights?
I don't get the resistance over protecting personal property rights here. We are talking about the government giving rights to others to violate people here.
Why? Because it is my person and my property, that is why. In addition all drone operators should be required to carry at least $1million in liability insurance at minimum to cover such incidents as crashing into stadiums and interfering with fire control.
If there is one thing an intelligent being understands it is how to successfully survive in the culture in which it lives. With newspapers, television, and radio being ubiquitous there is no way any person in the US today can not know what the cultural norms are.
But I guess if enough others save hundreds as well that figure can easily be in the billions globally. Still, it is the hundreds saved that are important to me.
...to the development of the "Star Trek" economy. Anybody whose livelihood depends on the fleecing of others beware. The "Merit" economy is coming. You get what you give, not what you take.
Different subject, but still it is understandable that governments that provide more services to citizens require more resources to do so. I'm a social libertarian, not a conservative libertarian, and more in favor of rewarding those adept at acquiring wealth a trophy rather than let them horde their wealth to the detriment of their fellow men. We, both poor and rich, are all in this together after all.
At least the EU gives lip service to protecting its citizens private information. Here in the good old USA the government makes no secret that it wants to become increasingly more both invasive and pervasive.
Maybe, just maybe, if the people you forced your shit ads on weren't paying to access the internet your argument would make sense. I pay good money to view what I see, and I don't want it going to garbage I don't going to garbage I don't want to see.
By there very nature ads are designed to divert your attention. They had more to my decision to "cut the cord" than anything else. For fuck sakes, I'd be watching an episode of "Stargate" and have popups at the bottom of the screen about upcoming "wrestling matches" appear on my TV. Like WTF!!!
I certainly have memories from age 4, which include tonsillectomy, mother holding my newborn brother, foot cut on glass, and just a week after I turned five both parents crying while watching JFK's funeral among quite a few others. Memories of memories perhaps, but memories nonetheless.
...a Surface? Both are iPad and Surface are stupid names either way. What is wrong with personal digital assistance anyway? Tired of playing the name game.

Yes, and the drone nuts want to claim what personal airspace we have left as their own.
By giving that freedom to a few thousand they usurp the property rights of millions.
Cases I've read seem to indicate the government as usurped all but around 500ft above my home. You are proposing to allow them to usurp even more?
So your solution, instead of seeking permission, is to have the government force people to allow you to fly your toys wherever you like?
Give up 400ft now, give up another 50ft tomorrow. Where will it end? A centimeter, a millimeter? A nanometer?
Both are property.
Actually I do. If I didn't any 3D entity could trespass on my 2D space whenever they will.
I didn't say it was out to get me, I said it was invading my space. So at elevation would you limit a persons property rights too?
So you'd be okay with allowing anyone who wishes access to your bathroom? It would be beneficial to public after all.

As for #4 it would be difficult to ascertain a persons IQ before depriving them of their rights, but the rest are very reasonable.

At least not without their expressed consent. That should be rule number one.

I am now and thus my post looking forward to their demise.

Interesting! Do you have data on how many smart phones fail versus how many are still functional but discarded.
