    All I can say is: Skeet Shooting for Prizes!!!

    If Amazon tries to introduce this there will obviously be people willing to take a pot shot at a drone for its payload (or just for the fun of it).

    Hmm, I wonder where I left my EMP generator...

    It would be the Chinese equivalent word for "protest".

    Yes but there must be equivalent linquistic situations in Chinese

  15. Detection Algorithm Accuracy on China Starts Censoring Phone Calls Mid Sentence · · Score: 1

    I wonder how many false positives the detection algorithm gets?
