  1. Re:How times change on California Bill Would Dramatically Limit Commercial Drones · · Score: 1

    Back in the 90's, you didn't have things with cameras flying over your backyard

    But you did have nosy neighbors, kids who climb trees, bird photographers with 1000' lenses ... the usual. Are you having a problem, now, with people flying multirotors low enough around your back yard to actually (really) invade your privacy? How often is this happening to you? There are literally millions of them in use.

    I don't have issues with any of your "the usual". I didn't say these drones were flying over my yard now, did I? But, it's happening more often, and those numbers will increase.

    Back in the 90's, you didn't have things with cameras flying over your backyard. You didn't have people monitoring your (e)mail, photographing your license plate, or tracking your cell phone.

    I won't give up my privacy w/o a fight.

    It will be much more than 1.5 drones. According to this, http://www.quora.com/How-much-... , a UPS truck will normally carry around 250 packages on a residential route. How many will that drone carry, or how many drones will it take to carry the equivalent?

    If America does, it would only be banned in America, and the rest of the world wouldn't be able to profit from that in America. However, American industry could still participate outside of the states.

    "Tech advocates have been battling privacy advocates to influence the inevitable regulation of private and commercial drones."

    Let's get this right. It's not "tech advocates", it's big business.

    The CEO's whole job is being responsible for the actions of his underlings. If they do something wrong that he didn't know about, he's responsible for not knowing about it.

    So, Obama is responsible for Hillary's email server?

    Sure, but is that better or worse than politicians whose only goal is to extract as much money/power/etc from the system in the term they do get, and who cares if it all falls apart next year when they are banned from being in office anyway.

    Or you could be a bit more practical and also consider the non-extreme cases as well.

    Is that how the office of the President of the United States works?
