I agree. I'm not convinced by their page explaining "Why it's illegal and potentially criminal" [0]. It's written by security researchers and non-attorneys. For example, this characterization seems overly broad: &g

They already have so much telemetry from your phone, IP, etc. God forbid they make an educated guess based on your actual LinkedIn connections, name, interests, etc.

I didn't take it as exhaustive. While you're alluding to high-end reapers/etc., the majority of drones in the Ukraine-Russia conflict have foam wings and low cost components.

It's not "pearl clutching" when there are enforceable laws like 18 U.S.C. § 1362.[0] Were you even aware of this? Can you actually cite a legal opinion about the device or similar applications? Otherwise, I'm assuming yo

You're right about FCC laws, but there are non-FCC laws, too, such as penalties for willful interference with federal/state emergency communications. I'm wondering if this device would cause issues for a nearby person's

Doesn't work. If TSA were added, there still wouldn't be any lines at private terminals.

By what standard? Federal civilian workforce (ex Postal Service and Military) is only 3 million. TSA has 60k employees. That's a lot of permanent jobs.

They still "apply to your paraphrase" which isn't accurate? What? It doesn't work like that unless you're having a different conversation.

“Vehicles with large blind spots don’t belong on the runway” is a completely untenable proposal. I never said this. This is very different to what I said. This reveals you're having a different conversation.

Visibility was bad (night and mist) too. But if your truck has blind spots and vis is poor, you shouldn't be driving as fast if at all.

Not offended. Try to have a 'better' day.

I blame me ;-). Though, one haywire reply can taint everyone's interpretation!

The irony isn't lost on me, either. Googling does result with a Gemini/AI response at the top.

Are you replying to the intended comment? The parent said they were getting stonewalled by a colleague over a T/F. Maybe you're assuming I called the parent a liar...?

What do you propose instead? edit: Nevermind. You shared your thoughts in a later comment above, dismissing the HN forum as vindictive.

> Solar and batteries have been and will continue... Yes, your statement is still false. Opposite is true.

by caminante 7mo ago
No, solar reliability requires overbuild and storage to compare accurately on LCOE. Hybrid and overbuild = expensive, so not "cheap/er", which you said. A lot of people have this misconception about solar even with awareness

This article is anecdotal with quotes from a BYD salesman about their product, and it doesn't mention that BYD's sales are down in Jan-Feb. 2026 (-36% y/y). electrek.co is a renewables (biased) blog.

You asked if the mention of "rewrite" was important. I said the author chose to put that language in their own title, otherwise they wouldn't have deemed it important. Your position doesn't make any sense.
