My comment was rather extensive and I feel it explained my point rather well. Nowhere did it say that I doubted you, so I'm going to be charitable and guess that you just didn't really read it.

Okay, that makes sense, thanks. I was wondering why those "Territorial waters" looked much the same as the EEZ claims.

That clarifies things, thanks!

Yep :/ Nothing is going to improve when none of the people who want things to improve can bear to stay.

Agreed, but from the images I've seen, the EastMed doesn't "dip down" under the Turkish EEZ (in the corridor between the Turkish EEZ and the Egyptian EEZ), it goes straight from Cyprus to Crete. Maybe the images are simp

I think so too, but territorial waters isn't the same, no? You can't cross into those without some sort of authorization, AFAIK.

Very likely, I'm going by maps like this one: https://fanack.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2014/10/natura... There's a "nose" that drops down from Turkey, and the EastMed p

As a Greek, this is accurate, and Greece has the same brain drain problems as well. All my university-educated friends now live and work abroad.

I have a geopolitical question I haven't been able to answer: Greece claims its EEZ includes Kastelorizo and extends near Turkish shores (which is unreasonable, IMO). Turkey claims islands have no EEZ, and Turkish EEZ extends below Cyp

Turkey has a history of claiming an EEZ way to the south of Cyprus (and also claiming an EEZ even past Crete in the Aegean), not wanting to work together and then accusing Greece of not working with them when Greece signs treaties to pass u

I downvoted you, but I did it less because of what you said and more because of the broader context. You said: > I wonder if the safety concerns of nuclear power are understated. Possibly, but this implies (or will be understood as) doub

When you're the author, yes, absolutely. When you're a reader, absolutely not, you need to consider what the author is saying rather than what your personal feelings make you think he's saying. Each party must be responsible

Certainly, but I don't find the fault to be with the statement, but with people. Our inability to separate "inconvenient general fact" from "specific, personal insult to whole swathes of people" is one of the banes

There's a "review queue" of games where you see user feedback and you decide whether to allow the game on the list or deny it, along with a reason why. It's an allow/deny system, basically, except sometimes you have

So the only reason nobody implemented digital video systems until now is that they weren't sure if it could be done, and DJI locking their stuff down is actually good for the hobby.

Are you saying that because they aren't actively coming to your house and holding your hands away from the keyboard, the fact that they sell closed source hardware is neutral?

As others have said, this is definitely not VR, it's like looking at a big screen strapped to your face. People in our group that have lots of trouble with VR have no problem with FPV.

Head trackers are cool, but DJI stuff is a step in the wrong direction there. Right now everything is open, you can write a small Arduino script to track your head with an accelerometer, send the channels through your radio to the drone, an

There are various FPV groups on Facebook, and Joshua Bardwell shares a lot of knowledge on YouTube. Also, prepare to lose a lot of your life soldering things.

It's more of a composite header (ELF/PE/etc) like those "it's both a JPG and a zip" things", though.
