The problem is that sometimes it is racism. Not every person that opposes the Obama admin does it for good reasons. But the truth is that not everyone that does oppose the Obama admin does it because of racism. Of course no one ever wants to really talk about is that no race is free of racism.

Right side of history is Obama's administration's catch phrase. Of course he also said that Romney was on the "wrong side of history" about Russia being a threat.
Translation. Right side of history == people that agree with the Obama administration. Wrong side of history == people that do not agree with the Obama administration.
Just what we need is a president with a catch phrase.
" So big model and good eyes is pretty high!" Not over 10,000 meters. Plus over 18,000 ft is mandatory IFR airspace operating an RC in an IFR area is illegal.
The B-52 is actually 60+ year old tech. It was going out of production when the Saturn V and SR-71 where in development. The Concord is a little later.
No you could build an RC airplane that could fly over a tornado. All it would take money and a good engineering team. A turbocharged engine and a high aspect ratio wing is all you really need along with a good control systems. I believe that someone did launch a glider from a weather balloon at an altitude above most tornados. I do not think it was in the US and well outside any urban areas but still probably a violation of regulations but I am not sure.
The law for RC aircraft places a legal altitude limit. So that statement was wrong in that it is illegal for both of them, no news station or hobbiest has flown over a tornado, and the story was not about flying over a tornado.
Ayn Rand is just the flip side of Karl Marx IMHO. Maybe you are not a libertarian? Maybe you are a centrist. Some one that believes in a balance between rules and anarchy. Don't worry there is no organized group that called centrists but I think their are a lot more of us the anyone knows.
That is my view on most libertarians. It maybe that it is the idiotic nihilistic anarchists that I notice. I believe that we need enough laws but not too many. Probably most people feel the same way. The key is workout the solution without getting nasty.
If it flies it is the FAA. Do you really want every city and county in the US to make a patchwork of laws? Plus you have the violation of controlled airspace which is pure FAA.
The simple answer is that which needlessly endangers people and property. Flying a drone in controlled airspace around an airport is a great example. Hitting a 5 Kg drone at 200 knots or sucking it into a turbofan could cause someone their life or an airline hundreds of thousands of dollars. Flying a drone over crowds of people where it could hurt somebody is another good example. Ever been to an airshow? You will notice that the performers in the US do not overfly the crowd during maneuvers. These rules are no different in nature than you can not drive 70 mph in a school zone or 150mph on the interstate. Using it for pictures of a disaster area is another issue. Instead of flat out ban the FAA might want to consider a commercial RC license. Idealy they would take note for way Ham radio works and allow the AMA to do the testing.
"why it has been just fine for some guy to fly a drone above a tornado, but illegal, in the FAA's eyes, for a journalist to do the same. "
It is illegal for anyone without special permission to fly a drone over(sic) a tornado without a lot of special clearance. The "top" of a tornado will be well above the altitude limits on RC aircraft. It would also be in the realm of dangerous. Flying over a disaster area is a different matter to take pictures is a different issue.
" A spokesperson for the FAA told me that the agency 'has proposed a civil penalty against an individual in New York City. The operator, who is a hobbyist, flew a drone carelessly or recklessly and violated air traffic rules as well. He ran the drone into a couple of buildings and it crash-landed 20 feet from a person (video).'""
And this is a good thing IMHO.
If the system can afford to STL then you should use STL. Even if you can not use some parts of STL because they are too heavy, use what you can. I don't see the confusion. STL is great if you can afford the overhead. What part of STL is great do people not understand? If are talking just about PCs then you can probably always use STL. The reason that I say probably is there maybe some off the wall real time application running on a PC somewhere that just cannot use STL for some reason. I would not say always because goodness knows that someplace there is an use case I do not know about.
I fear the NSA a lot less than Russian Mafia and or the others that seem to be running things like the Target break in. I feel that many people do not have their threats in line with reality. Kind of like people that live in terror of nuclear power plants and flying but drive a 1982 Volvo with no airbags, traction control, or anti-lock brakes.
So my statement that STL is great if you can afford the overhead is still true. I never said who could or could not afford it. Honestly I say use it if you can. So what is wrong again. Such a simple statement allows for people to decide what it means.
A. Drones outside of those owned by NASA and NOAA do not fly over tornadoes. You are usually talking about above FL40 to fly over storm/tornado. B. These drones were taking pictures of damage after the storm not during.
Exactly. A news crew can not fly a VFR equipped airplane in IFR conditions, the can not fly an aircraft at FL1 at 300 nmph, they not fly an unregistered airplane, they can not pay a pilot to fly for them that does not have a commercial license. How is the drone rule any different than these rules legally.
So if the camera was on the aircraft how did it get corrupted? I thought that the camera was on the booster and the aircraft was there to receive data from the landing attempt. I can see that since it was probably not in LOS to any piece of land and sending the data to an aircraft would be simpler and probably cheaper than sending it to a satellite.
I can tell you that the ARM programmers are really tight for space and wish they could use STL but it is just too big. I am maintaining an MFC Windows codes base so they did not use STL. Maybe I should have just said that STL is great and you should use it if you have the resources. I do think STL is great but again if you do not have the resources you can not use it.
The library size for one. I happen to work at a company that works with MCUs like the M0 and M3, STL is a bit heavy for those. Forget about the 8051s we use for BLE. Not every program works on X86 based PCs running Windows, OS/X, Linux, BSD or some other OS. I do not see why anyone is getting upset over my comment.
On a PC I would say everyone. On embedded it is not always an option. Even some ARM SoCs do not come with GB's of ram. Heck sometimes even c++ has too much overhead and you use c. I do not see why so many people are bent by my statement. I happen to work a company that does a lot of works with M0, M3, and 8051 MCUs as well as Windows, Android, IOS, and Linux systems. On a PC I would never worry about using STL on an M0 or M3 I would, and on an 8051 I wouldn't even use c++.

Wow. You do know that terminals and PCs where common in 1983. Great way to make work.
Honestly that will probably be more of an issue with the OS than using STL. Context switches suck.

STL is great when you can afford the overhead.
