Speaking as someone from another country (New Zealand) who has visited the US on several occasions (mostly social) I can tell you it has certainly become an issue.
Recently I was planning to attend an event in Las Vegas (hobby related). My first thought was to the invasive border security that is already in place but I though why not and decided to go anyway.
Others decided differently, in the end the event in Las Vegas was canceled because of the invasive border protection and we all went to Australia instead.
cFTA just did hacking tests on commercial drones (it's in a mil gov newsletter)
You mean this bit? Where you're talking about commercial drones?
Seriously, if you are representative of military thinking we are in trouble. You have no concept of what is an appropriate response AND your attention span is so bad you can misquote what you yourself wrote. I will yell it for you;-
WE ARE TALING ABOUT A SMALL COMMERCIAL DRONE FLYING IN A PARKING LOT.
Look. The ones being used vs our forces are exactly the ones you're talking about, snowflake.
Only in your head.
See it works like this, we are talking about a small drone taking photos of a parking lot, you go all wowser and start saying "its the end of the world", I call out your bull shit, so you come back and make out like they are flying a fucking military drone through said parking lot.
I never mentioned military drones until you did your "I am a wackjob" leap, they are in YOUR HEAD to try to prove a retarded point, not mine (important difference, things in your imagination do not appear in everyone else).
You just took a hyperbolic jump into military drones from a small drone looking at a parking lot. Don't you see that they are not even in the same class?
Pull your head back into reality, come back to what we are talking about and lay off the stupid-hysterical-fearmonger pills 'snowflake'.
These drone regulations are quite literally the return of the Luddites. They are far less dangerous than just about any other hazard to aerial navigation but I think the regulators just get a thrill out of regulations these days and if there is anything new they immediately start to think of ways to regulate it.
The wowser attitude of the general public doesn't help, people seem to think that recreational/imaging drones kill people on a daily basis or something.
My only quibble is the design relies on differential torque of the propellers for pivot rotation. I think it would be better to arrange for thrust vectoring for this. Also thrust vectoring would allow you to run identical propellers because the thrust vectoring can eliminate the torque.
Differential torque is far more efficient than thrust vectoring. To alter your angle of trust you need a minimum of one extra motor that does nothing but provide the function (and weight, and battery draw).
Since your props are already spinning in a counter rotation function (to stop it taking off like a spinning top) the extra function of providing yaw is just about free in terms of weight and battery life.
They have a second set of staff? Sounds like they could cut staff in half, outsource it to h1b and then fire you to cut costs by 75% over all.
No second set of staff, the ones we have are well trained and unlikely to all get hit by a bus at the same. Most of them could step in and take over my duties at any time and I can step in and do their jobs as well. Even so, we keep a good repository of documentation and procedures so any half decent sysadmin can at least keep things going by himself until he gets the hang of things and a new team gets put together.
I even have all of the documents put together as to what sorts of people whit what skills and experience we need in order to replace every one of us.
We don't have h1b where I live but we do have immigration. Fortunately, work culture where I live and work isn't like it is in the US and we go for quality over cost. Having said that, there doesn't seem to be much wrong with the quality of immigration here either, we employed two more immigrants since December. Training them up right now.
Has it ever crossed your mind what would happen if you got hit by a bus?
All the time.
As a sysadmin most of my job is planning for contingencies and that is one of them. The hardest part of that is making sure that I keep my contingency up to date with all of the correct credentials needed AND that someone can access and implement it.
Every now and then I hit up the people responsible just to make sure they can access everything they need.
Quantum computing is indeed a challenge that needs to be met sooner or later, there are a lot of theories about how to protect cryptography but as your links point out quantum computing is still in its infancy and without working prototypes we are still not sure what we will and will not be able to do.
Worst case scenario (and quite likely) just about every form of cryptography we have today is in jeopardy and if we don't react quickly enough the entire internet let alone things like blockchains are going to fall to bits.
Strangely enough, because a significant portion of blockchains includes hashing and are not vulnerable a blockchain will probably survive but it won't be much use because the internet won't.
It is a bit like worrying that your car won't work anymore if a meteorite destroys the planet.
In a 'blockchain' scenario each entity keeps their own copy of the chain that is cryptographically put together.
If somehow one participant does manage to corrupt their copy of the chain it is instantly detected (bad cryptographic chain) they can resemble it from the other participants (once again, cryptographically so they don't actually need to trust that the other participants are giving them the right information).
It is a bit of a picky difference since a gravity wave can be caused by wind.
It is essentially the same thing as a wave on the sea which is also caused by wind (primarily) but can be caused by other things, for example, an explosion could cause waves in the sea and it could also cause a wave like this in an atmosphere.
It is the difference between cause and effect.
The odd thing about these waves (they have been seen before) no wind process (or any other process) that we are familiar with can cause a wave of this magnitude yet here they are.

True, but the cunt per capita ratio make it more likely that anyone you meet will be a cunt.
As a New Zealander I hold with our national view that Australia is full of cunts :P .

Yep, it is a recurring theme with credit cards isn't it?
Should have used bitcoin.

You are a wowser, believe it or not, drones will not be the end of the world and they don't present a significant risk to air traffic.
Or birds.

Bitcoin, the currency of criminality
Na, that is USD.
Sure, some people use bitcoin in their "criminal empire" but that is a mere pittance compared to normal fiat cash.

ALL sysadmins have thoughts of what they would do as "revenge" for getting fired.
It is never crossed my mind so not quite all.
I knew it!

That's why if you give someone your wallet so you can accept a payment, they have your home address and SSN.
You don't seriously believe that do you?

Boomers had to wait for their favorite song to be on the radio or buy the CD.
CD? That is Gen X or possibly Gen Y.
Boomers had vinyl.

LOL, the rubber and glue defence.
Priceless.
Found the kid in the thread.
Look at this from a consumer point of view.
I am by point out how full of shit you are and how you are lying. There is nothing to fix here apart from you lying.
That way legitimate consumers won't be fooled by your crap. You are not actually a consumer if all you have ever done is lie about it.
It is not as if there are no legitimate concerns about bitcoin but instead of picking one of those you make up fairy tales.
