Governments exist only to serve the citizens... or that's how it should be.
To speak and think about a government without any reference to ideas of great philosophers of past centuries is like speak about mathematics without heritage of René Descartes or Gottfried Leibniz.
This is not why government appeared and exist at all.
Sociologists should study and solve the problem of endless loud talk over telephone on the bus, train, tram, etc. When someone starts it near me, I just have to move to another part of the wagon. It is so annoying.
I do not argue with you that it's better be safe than sorry and we work on making airspace safe. I am piloting RC aircraft, both fixed-wing and multi-rotor. My RC aircraft was attacked by birds quite a few times. Sometimes a bird or a flock of birds can be unbelievably mean and aggressive.
Bird-strikes happen thousands times per year. Unlike a bird, an UAV can be constructed from frangible materials. The FAA works on it with drone producers. In my DJI Phantom 3 and F450 I set the maximum altitude to 150 meters (a regulation in my parts) above ground. It does not fly higher; a message "aircraft reached maximum altitude" appears on the screen.
If I just hear a sound of a manned aircraft, a plane or helicopter, I land immediately and disconnect the battery.
My argument was that there was no clear-cut proven collision of an UAV with manned aircraft yet in the whole world. As for flying an UAV above 150 meters (or 400 feet in the USA) it is clearly against the law, let alone flying near an airport, above a stadium full of spectators, etc. I disapprove it myself. And RC pilots are well informed about these rules.
Birds attack manned aircraft deliberately the same way as they attack UAVs. Just make search of images in Google on "birds collision with aircraft". You will see exactly the same damage and even worse.
In the article it is clearly written: "the FAA's incident report refers to a collision between the Piper Apache and an "unidentified object". So it was an UAV allegedly, but since collisions with birds happen often by Occam's Razor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... principle it was a bird collision.
The videos which you provided are well known fakes. You could do 20 seconds research to learn it before posting them as a fact. It is creatde by some mutimedia designer.
There is a lot of talk of civil UAVs flying here and there causing a risk, but there was not a single test of an actual collision between and UAV and manned aircraft. Similar testing is done for cars, for aircraft and birds extensively but for some reason not for UAVs.
An UAV could be constructed being frangible after 200 km/h speed collision. And by this not causing any harm to the manned aircraft.
It is slow on all three PCs which I have got. Is it because it is more secure and checking everything while operating?
But I do not get it completely, - isn't it supposed to be faster than previous versions? Maybe something wrong with my setups (which are quite standard)? What can I do to make the W10 run faster?
People in Russia buy the US iPhones, Windows, jeans, cars, music, films, etc. Where would they take money to do it if the US does not buy anything from them? It is called trade. It was invented in Mesopotamia about five thousand years ago.
Scott Kelly's flight was part of a research to harden humanity against external threats. The Chelyabinsk meteor event https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... left about a thousand people wounded and massive damages. There are several impressive awakening videos on Youtube. And it was a relatively small meteor.
I cannot get rid of an impression that this is a PR campaign to create an illusion that our data on smartphones is not easily available to agencies anytime anywhere, as an information at one's fingertips.
We may remember what E.Snowden said about how it really works, but an optical-cognitive illusion is a powerful thing. For example, the Müller-Lyer illusion persists even one is aware that it is an illusion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
In physical world there is also a week point, - the dumpster diving https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
, cheap large capacity hard disks, and cheap labor make it possible to create the carpet databases on the whole population.
The dumpster diving allows to mine not only an ID and bank data, but also fingerprints, a DNA, a handwriting, etc. It is happening already on the international scale.
They built it to be used in government offices and companies. There is a suspicion in those parts that western CPUs are programmed on low level to record the information and send it periodically to a central server.
Wind generators are constantly producing the sound: "chug, chug, chug,...", besides they trow moving shadows. People who happened to live near a windmill say that it close to a torture.
Modern manned aircraft and electric RC planes are becoming practically silent. For example, RR Multiplex FunGlider has got a powerful electric motor, but it is impossible to hear it when it is above 20 - 30 meters of altitude.
I think it would be better to use LED lamps, to change architecture of of homes in order to reduce air-conditioned/heated area and increase open space like courtyards, reduce maximum allowed weight of personal cars, etc.
In my opinion, we should keep earth in a natural state, and leave airspace to birds, tourists, RC hobbyists, aircraft, etc. More and more, wherever one looks there are communication towers, high voltage power-lines, industrial chimneys, and now also wind turbines. And they are not just standing high, but also have moving parts and emitting acoustic pollution.
Can we stop making the surface of this wonderful planet ugly?

...political asylum by the United States embassy in Budapest, where Mindszenty lived for the next fifteen years...
The United States Embassy in Budapest is a large six stories building, with spacious courtyards. Mindszenty could walk outdoors, could walk around the immense building: http://photos.wikimapia.org/p/...
Julian is stuck in a small apartment. He cannot walk outdoors at all. Even in a maximum security prisons inmates can walk outdoors for an hour a day. Even in Alcatraz prison there was a large outdoors ground for prisoners. It is not fair to compare Julian Assange with Mindszenty.
London municipal government could make a small adjacent garden for the Ecuador embassy with a strong grill fence. This way Julian could at least walk outdoors. Julian's inhuman asylum conditions are insult to our common human dignity.

...It's documented. Here's another one - http://www.flyingmag.com/techn... . See, actual damage.

Just as a matter of record, there was not a single collision of a quadcopter with a manned aircraft in the whole world.
It is in the USA 400 feet, or 121.6 meters, but in Europe it is 150 meters. UAVs can fly up to 150 meters.

There is no daily flight to the station. It is either 340 days or say 500 days.
