What does this have to do with startups?

  >What does this have to do with startups? You know, I used to have this style view when reading and commenting Slashdot, pre-9/11 about anything other than "the tech". Afterward, in high school, I began to feel that understanding the foundations of geopolitics can help you maintain an advantage in the business world.

  Not much, but it's interesting and I think a large population of users here are curious about drone tech

    > Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic. Seems ths qualifies in spades.

      The "interesting new phenomenon", obviously, is the potential of the generalization of what expressed in the title. It has very evidently both relevance to intellectual curiosity and a potential of impact on our activities.

Why is this thing so difficult to name and you need to describe it in such a roundabout way? "Drones might be shot down a lot"? It's neither new nor an intellectual curiosity. "Drones are used for war" also not. It's been happening for years now. What is so interesting? Can you name it without references to generalizations of expressions of other references?

          > Why is this thing so difficult to name and you need to describe it in such a roundabout way Because it is a multifaceted thing. Where, how, how much, why, what next... And the rest of the "W"s. Read the posts: we find them interesting.
