About half of the traffic on roads is a delivery of documents and small parcels, which could be easily automated by drones. Certainly, reducing traffic is not what some lobbies want.
I think this is the underwater reason of these prohibitive measures.
Wide usage of steel tools was followed by a Christianity revolution. The first functional steam engine in 1781 was followed by the Great French Revolution of 1789.
We cannot say what it would be this time. But I am afraid the principle will continue to work.
I was surprised by the Raspberry Pi 3 stability. I constructed a light on/off switch to switch on light in the apartment via internet when I am on holiday. It can run without reloading for long time. I do not know for how long as the system never has got any issues.
First of all it is not a drone on a photo in the article (unless it was one powered by gaz, what is uncommon).
Secondly the powerlines can be hidden underground. There is a reliable technology already to transfer electricity via underground cables. It is still 1.5 times more expensive, but only because it is not widely used yet.
If they build the powerlines underground it would be a good news not only for migratory birds, home owneres, but also for helicopter pilots http://aviationweek.com/busine...
What kind of drone it is, what model? Was it that hard to make a good HD photo with a smartphone camera where one can see something?
Drones (RPAS) can deliver urgent parcels with documents, cash for banks, etc. and by this realistically free roads from traffic jams, significantly reduce fossil fuel consumption, so naturally the automobile lobby and their clients are concerned.
That is why the FAA issues 700 pages prohibiting regulations for RPASs. But it is hard to do not having a single photo of a documented RPAS accident. So finally we have got a photo from an RPAS accident where one can not distinguish anything. Was it a drove powered by petrol? Why it burned that much?
It is still impossible to go from say Vienna to Kharkov by train easily. Not even possible to buy a train ticket Vienna-Kharkov easily, - just as it was twenty years ago. A lot of talk about "European Integration", but nothing really changes on the ground.
I do not believe that the Hyperloop One is feasible with this generation of quaint leadership in Europe. They can just talk big and well about climate change, integration, etc.
Still in the 19th century there was the St. Petersburg-Wien-Nizza-Cannes-Express regular train https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/... , there were no visas, and not even passports were necessary for travel. WW1 destroyed it all and we are still stuck there.
Interference or no interference, the fact remains the USA (and many other countries) are in deep existential crisis. Real unemployment is reaching 40-50%, self-destructing obsolet military alliances overheat, moral is in the gutter.
Unfortunately current politicians manifest themselves as little people. There a lot of great projects which could be initiated right now, which could give jobs, prosperity, and future to billions of people. For example, building a high-speed railroad & hi-tech highway between London and New York, via Bering Strait.
Instead they get themselves mired in petty nationalist disputes and personal mercantile interests.
It is estimated that traffic collisions caused the death of around 60 million people during the 20th century. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
About million and a half is being killed in traffic accidents each year. Times more are badly wounded. These are the figures of the WW3. This is what going on on our streets.
At the same time the US bureaucracy, which is under influence of an automobile lobby, de-facto sabotages delivery by airborne drones or by robotized vehicles. And these are the solutions which could really free the streets and reduce the death rate on the streets.
I have nothing to do with politics. I really like eagles, herons, etc. More correctly I like to watch them to soar above a city where I live.
It is not only extremely beautiful, but it is also like canary in a coal mine https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki... . It means the air is clean, there are enough of trees in parks, and we are doing well.
I do not fancy a world of only rich people, rats, and cockroaches left.
large birds are an integral part of the global ecosystem. The extinction of the large living birds may have unpredictable consequences for life on Earth.
When you see a soaring eagle it is flying usually not for hunting but for manifesting itself for different reasons, - finding a mating partner, guarding its space, etc. At least I was told so at a training course by a professional ornithologist.
And an eagle is not the only big protected bird, there are other endangered species.
Here is the quote from the scientific source: https://www.sciencedaily.com/r...
"Worldwide, such facilities have been responsible for the deaths of 140,000 to 328,000 birds and 500,000 to 1.6 million bats, raising questions about their effects on population sustainability."
Sure cats and windows kill times more, and this problem is being addressed too. But wind turbines kill large valuable rare birds. This is the issue. Again the quote from the same article of 2016: "Eagles tend to use that habitat around the turbines. It's windy there, so they can save energy and soar,..."
As for the CFL lamps, - they contain toxic mercury. They are not on sale anymore, it is LED lamps nowadays.
Only about 70% of migratory birds are surviving one annual migration at the moment. The mass extinction of birds is currently on the way. Loosing large birds gliding magnificently above a town is the same loss as loosing the trees, bees, rivers, etc.
Limiting power consumption via LED lamps, lighter vehicles, smaller heated (air-conditioned) areas in houses by smarter architecture, etc. could produce more than enough electricity for decades without making this wonderful planet ugly.
What I do not understand is why the US political elite has always been trying to change a regime here or there, but if someone attempts to do something similar in return, media freaks out.
The teaching of the prophets (Matthew 7:12) is: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you", isn't it?
I do not get a logic of it. If one starts playing say a hokey it is reasonable to expect that the opposing teams would play back.
A car with a speed of 320 km/h, an engine of 500 hp, and a weight of 3 tons is potentially much more dangerous than a tiny drone, isn't it? Still basically anyone can buy and drive a car.

I mean all that treaties about rockets.
In my opinion Facebook is kind of a Spam 2.0.
I've made a folder in my e-mail client and move all Facebook messages in there automatically (just to delete them later).
I do not think it is run-off-the-mill individuals who are behind an attack of this magnitude.

At least for a train a laptop is not a threat. I think not even a desktop can destroy the whole train.

No security checks, beautiful nature, arriving into a city center, no baggage limit, free WiFi, etc.
A cat does not attack an eagle, they do a lot of damage though to smaller protected birds.

It does not matter, it does not influence the financial flow.
It is not possible to understand a crime deeply without answering a question: Cui bono? or Cui prodest? (Eng. Whom does it profit?)

Retail work is some of the most thankless, soul-flaying work there is.
Airline checkin and Lost&Found beat it hands down.
