As mind blowing as you think that was, IMHO its nothing like the experience of candy-flipping...(MDMA+LSD)
Remember all things in moderation, I have lived to tell the tale, although I can't remember what tale I'm supposed to tell.
I love everything about space exploration, but I'm not naive enough to believe its the solution to our problems here on earth. One might argue its a distraction from our ongoing global humanitarian crisis.
People everyday are dying from lack of food, water, shelter, etc...
What time & money is spent on solving the galaxies mysteries, could be brain power backed capital used to solve our dire terrestrial affairs. IMHO...
Food for thought...
It's not because it's easier to ship, it's because you can double or triple your money...
Example... 1 kilo raw coke...40k [US price] cook that same 1 kilo into crack and now you have 3 kilos of crack that you can easily make 100k or more off in the street
The drug it's self, in crack form, is 10x more addictive then powdered cocaine. The user experience of a "high" only last for a few minutes, side effect being users use the product faster. This is why it's a lucrative market for gangs and street dealers. If you hold territory to distribute your product, you increase your revenue. Cash is what every dealer wants, product is what ever user wants. Supply and demand effects.
Don't know why some may believe people make crack because "it's easier to transport"... no, no its not, especially when you consider liquid cocaine. Yes cartels smuggle liquid cocaine![1]
It's about money.
Cartels have billions & billions of US dollars to spend, they spend big money on R & D too.[2][3]

I think it states 500mb cap for device to device comms. That's a decent pipe for comms.
The security researcher did nothing wrong here [IMHO], they tried to report a security flaw in the app. CEO got pissed, took it as a attack personally instead of thinking of the responsibility of users safety on the app. (All the while promoting her app as a safe place for users to share sensitive information.[i.e. photos, DOB, address, phone number, GPS location).
Sad to see this type of response; the CEO has a lot to learn from this situation about security for users and how to deal with security researchers.
Live n learn...
Printing the air frame is a huge cost saver.
Cheap motors are everywhere, plenty of places to scavenge tiny hobby motors (doesn't have to fly super fast or lift 2000 grams)
Cheap arduino's for brains and motor control, not much to it.
You can get away with having a tiny lipo battery for powering the motors since it's a one way trip for the drone anyways...
With the right choice of materials you could get a drone BOM down to $100-150 [not included transmitter remote control] Needless to say, having a cartel budget you can really pump up production to few 100 a week if needed....
Making sumthing that's going to be used for a one way trip isn't hard, when your objective is to make a impact on target.
This is the new battlefield.
The effects vary per individual but the higher the dosage the more psychoactive effects are felt. I've seen a naked guy take on 8 DC cops....yes 8 police officers, and after being tased 3 times the guy finally went down.(first two attempts didn't take) But he was tossing grown 200-300lbs adult men like they were paper weights. The amount of force it took those officers to over come this one person on PCP was insane. Definitely not something you want to run into.
Listed frequencies by federal/state/county/local departments
Searchable for all.
Name, address, date of birth, social security number, identifying features i.e. height, weight, hair color, etc.
Don't underestimate how valuable this information can be.
Not to mention the movements of police resources and personnel.
All said published over the wire, anyone can hear with the right hardware/software.
After Namoi's demoralizing experience with vice media and make mag; there seems to be a backlash campaign against her.
She doesn't deserve this negative image for existing in the "modern" world.
I mean if your going to go through the hassle of looking up that certain command, might as well make it easier on future you to alias that foo while you have it fresh in you mind.
Indeed, this is not something many people appreciate...
Salute!
Let that sink in...
Most of us just don't get to borrow 100 million, good credit ain't cheap...
Note, if you get caught at these high speeds on public roads, you will be arrested and vehicle impounded. Most of the time police officers will draw their weapons when making vehicle stops of this nature. Most state laws have a zero tolerance policy for vehicles exceeding 90mph on public roads.
But if you got bail money, GODSPEED
Hardware debouncing works well for most applications but may not be financially rewarding at scale. With time and effort software debouncing can render sometimes better/good or good enough results as hardware..
Remember the saying, "When all you have is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail..."
Everyone one else is considered "Main Street"...
They have their own language and culture that exhorts greed and profit above humanity and peace. ie. "Wolf of WallStreet"...
Which VPN provider in your opinion would you consider "trustworthy"???
My understanding PIA was a great option until the most recent buyout... now I don't know who to throw my $$$ at... just asking
