That would be a notch or two higher than I would value it. That makes sense.

No one ever announces that they lowered prices by offshoring the manufacturing, but that is how Walmart lowers the prices for items that it carries. The prices of consumer electronic equipment went down when manufacturing moved to Asia. Instead of seeing the price move down, it goes up less...

Does that mean eliminating minimum wage protections and workplace safety? A seamstress in a country like Vietnam makes the equivalent of $2.99 per hour, versus $18.00 in the US. That's a primary driver of why jobs left the US.

How many drones would be enough? In 2024, there were 1116 pursuits in LA, with 1/3 ending in a crash. It's a solution looking for a problem.

There is a difference between making a guess and stating that tons of other people are having the same issue based on a handful of people in the comments. There may very well be an issue with the props. The locking mechanism is pretty straightforward, but if the props themself don't swing...

On one side, you have a head of state making transactional decisions almost on a whim, and on the other is a government that operates by planning and then executing 5-year plans. It's not hard to see who is going to come out ahead here.

Other traffic is the main reason for calling off high-speed pursuits. Too many innocent people get hit. That's why they have police tarffic helicopters in the first place. They go faster, higher, and farther than drones.

You basically can't make anything high-tech without rare earth minerals.

You can argue whether or not that was the driving purpose, but a stated goal of RID was to identify drones and their pilots. Source
