It's not true, and 'criticizing the government' should not be a crime anywhere. There are plenty of 'Rich People' in US jails.

You folks may want to reconsider having photos in CVs. Not only are people going to be very strongly biased by race, ethnicity etc., but also by the trivialities of presentation: dress, apparent attitude, choice of background. All of those

Your personal situation doesn't represent the market, moreover, you spent 20 years watching coke ads growing up and having coke, it's impossible to tell how that affected you. You saw 1000 'product placements' for coke w

The answer is not complicated, and the logic on this board is strained by people I think that don't work in marketing. 1) Advertising works. 2) Coke, a sugary drink, is largely kept alive by smart marketing, that involves mostly advert

This comment implies pilots could magically be replaced by tech, and yet, that tech has never been used in any real scenario - ever. Wonder why? Because the kind of control offered by said tech just isn't remotely suitable for real mis

That's not quite the message. The message is, in low-grade conflicts, with varying situations, 'very small cheap drones' have a role. Turkey's drones are small, cheap, often used for reconnaissance - not exactly the role

No, the F22 has much better capabilities than the F35, and many of them are kept secret. The F22 is designed to be the 'Uber Alpha' of the Skies and to have no peer. It's made in the USA and is not sold to allies. The F35 is

So Uber has 15B revenue and they only spend 150M globally on acquisition ad spend. It'd seem to me that this is relatively thin, and likely wouldn't have any impact for some time. Uber is already well known - their spend in most c

So that's a valid point actually (and probably still valid today), however the more obvious reason is that 25 years there was no evidence drones had any real material capability - especially given at that time, the US had no idea they&

Ok, but nobody can actually field that many drones (remember it's not just the craft, it's pilot, tech ground support, comms, rads, networks, etc.) especially in a scenario they are not suited for, and, it's not as though the

Yes. 'Prototype'. And they were 'prototyping' F35's 25 years ago. Since they could have made those 25 years ago - and chose not to - you have to contemplate why. Drones are mostly used for surveillance, tactical str

They would need advanced radar and other integrated systems, which they don't have today. Today, an F35 would clear out a squadron of drones way beyond the horizon, before the drones were aware of the F35. So yes 'a lot of drones&

But it is the case though. Jets today fly much faster than drones, even as you point out - they don't have the 'pilot limitation'. There are many reasons for that obviously, not just 'G Force'. Air Superiority Drone

They are not comparable. Drones are 'slow moving sitting ducks' that can be easily destroyed by an enemy with basic capabilities. You need 'some degree of air superiority' to use drones. That could mean extensive electro

No, this is totally overstating the situation. Also - you could say the same and yet much much more about Google. Google represents 10x the threat of FB because we all use it and essentially need it - and it's more broadly deployed.
