  1. Re: Difference between drones and RC planes/choppe on Kentucky's Shotgun 'Drone Slayer' Gets Sued Again (yahoo.com) · · Score: 2

    Fpv has been here for a long time. Why do you think this privacy thing just came out now?

    It's the wrong intent that makes the real drone users look bad. My friend uses them to video shoot real estate for sale. And went through the right channels to get permission to hover in a residential area.

    There are many fun things that we want to do. But it affects other people's feelings and that's why we don't do them. I would love to hover in people's backyard in fpv too but I don't do it because it invades people backyard. Not even privacy. Just the same as I don't sit on people's porch and have a smoke.

    I totally agree on the fpv aspect. If you're flying and not hovering in people's back yard ;)

  3. Difference between drones and RC planes/choppers on Kentucky's Shotgun 'Drone Slayer' Gets Sued Again (yahoo.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    There's a fundamental difference between these so called drones and RC planes or choppers. Drone operators aren't interested in "piloting" . The sole purpose of flying a drone is to take videos or photos and once that's the intention it changes the whole flight.

    I used to do aerial photography and video with my RC plane. The flight intention changes once you slap on a camera. Take the go pro off the drones and see how many would still fly it for the pleasure of flight. None.

    In fact, it's way simpler than this. It's about knowing your job doesn't do shit yet if you voice out, your job will become irrelevant and you will no longer get that fat check at the end of the week. So we shut up and kept doing useless shit. The world revolves around this most of the time when we're not making lhc etc.

  18. Re:We can learn from the termites how to fix Socie on "Exploding" Termite Species Discovered · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I can tell by observing you and me of course, that we're not rich. All my rich friends doesn't concern themselves with luxuries because as you said, there's only so much you can snort. The short-term reasons as you listed out are also valid. Namely doing what you love and money just comes in by accident, and earning it as a number game because all their friends have the Mercedes and the only way to "win" is to have bigger numbers.

    Most what I've seen though, is the idea of a rich lineage. This is for both the second gen (born rich) and first gen (made rich) dudes I know. They aren't just concerned with themselves, but with godlike generations after them. It doesn't mean they'll spoil their kids with crazy luxuries. It means that their kids will have a wider range of choices in what to do with their life versus us. And their grand-kids and so on. When your objective is that, you wouldn't mind "more" money really.

  19. Break up interview. on Being Honest In Exit Interviews Is Pointless · · Score: 1

    Not unlike your ex calling you to discuss the "reason" for the break up yeah? Nothing good comes out of whatever reason there were, ever. Why? Because every single relationship is complex and different, much like jobs. The lessons you learned in the last one can mean diddly in the next, well, some are valuable and might help with the next.. ..Until you break up again. Now explain that.

    I only say good things when I go as that's the least you can do.

  20. vast majority good? on Why Mark Zuckerberg Is a Bad Role Model For Aspiring Tech Execs · · Score: 1

    And by doing exactly what every one else is doing, you become the "vast majority". Golf clap.

  21. Re:Schisms on Ask Slashdot: How To Introduce Someone To Star Trek? · · Score: 1

    I am glad that the timing of TNG coincided with grade 12 when I was inspired by both my English teacher and Shakespearean plays. Coming home watching star trek with mom (TOS fan) is one of the great memories I have.

    Two months ago, I started watching TNG again, and last week finished it once again and I completely agree with your episodes choice. If it wasn't for grade 12 though, ST wouldn't be as good.

    Another reason is that when things are this close to your eyes, you can't focus correctly and your eyes will cross and go wonky. Try holding an apple to your nose, you no longer see is correctly. Now try holding a fly to your nose, you still can't see it correctly. Yes?
