It's incredibly depressing that insane scenarios like drones piling C4 explosives on mall rooftops has become a major concern to the point where people will reject an entire category of technological devices that can otherwise massively improve (and even save) lives if used at scale. I guess all the media and government fearmongering since 9/11 has been successful. When someone pitches a piece of tech, people now immediately think of how that tech can be used by Bad People to do Bad Things. I would expect Hacker News of all places to not succumb to this type of irrational paranoia. But I guess we are all human in the end.
