Reminded of Crackberry management ~15 years ago: someone does all the data scutwork then pisses away additional hours distilling it down to the special sno-flake BB email format so managers can "make decisions" that the analysts saw coming long before the managers.

Counter-terror convictions in the US have a long history of collecting patsies with the motive but not the wherewithal, provided supposed means by undercover agents who then arrest them "in the act"

That's where a heck of a lot of audience is - largely absorbing *reactions* to primary news, in sub 5-minute chunks

And it all seems very Boomer-coded where they started off as very individual liberty-focused, largely got what they wanted, focused inward, couldn't get past their own limitations, and see upcoming generations' perspectives as threatening.

The use of neighborhoods/districts rather than municipalities can be confusing - especially when there *is* a matching municipality in the state - but one would expect a news organization not to trip over this in ... Los Angeles.

Outside of some promotional thing makes little sense given the inherently greater costs

Enjoyed it as a kid of the 80s when it was novel, but that franchise fatigue has become very real as the subsequent movies, TV series, games, and infinite novels have piled on. I just can't any more.

Perhaps this is the case in your region. It is not the case in mine.

The RPG rounds the larger ones carry as payload may be more expensive than the drone. probably one of the cheapest guided munitions per strike one can possibly make - including interceptions, misses, mechanical failures en route.

And one can stage dozens of them for a fraction of the cost of the *ordinance* deployed by big 90s era drones the US made famous in the GWOT

Imagine RC drone pilots are either limiting their mission times or perhaps using those same fiber spools to transmitters some ways away from their operating positions

Future of drone warfare clearly pivoting towards smaller, faster, cheaper FPV-esque platforms for their flexibility and responsiveness

In addition to the latency, I read cameras were "like looking at Google Earth through a straw". Can technically do fire support but far-better suited for surveillance or delivering a Hellfire to a target painted by someone on the ground ala GWOT assassinations.

I've gathered the upside of Predator, Reaper et al is they're immensely harder to jam. Downside is the rigidity and terrible latency of satcomms.

Think the general public got used to the idea of US Predator and Reaper drones being flown from rear areas (even Kansas IIRC), alongside an apparent movement to discredit their pilots as not being "real" service members

Had a dream once about a sit-down restaurant whose entire shtick was "if you're dissatisfied with the service your waiter will be fired" and, eh, the staff was dropping like flies me and soon enough it was busboys then line cooks getting pink slips for displeasing the customers and they then closed.

A weakness of general-purpose LLMs seems to be that they have partial or distilled snapshots of the huge mass of text out there thus fill in the blanks with depressing regularity
