      You can fly the drone without a license in secret, and the law only requires that you scribble the ID somewhere on the craft -- something you do not need to do if flying for clandestine purposes.

      Not all drone's fly via radio, many use direct WiFi connections which can be completely spoofed over 3G proxies so that the drone and operator aren't in direct contact with one another

      most bought drones also transmit it wirelessly too

      many use direct WiFi connections

      yes, the toy ones, once you get 10m away you aren't controlling that drone anymore, let alone recieving pictures

      which can be completely spoofed over 3G proxies

      once you start introducing the internet the lag becomes unbearable, and also phone towers are aimed at the ground, not at the sky, so you'd get shit reception anyways

        So the Venice entrance fee was introduced to deny access and make this event possible?

          I think workers would be better than drones. Drones can't even sting.

            Tell that to these guys:

            https://github.com/uavpal/beboptwo4g/wiki/faq#latency

            Typically for direct connections (see this FAQ entry), the latency is around 50 ms. The pre- and post-processing of the live video stream is more than that, which you will also experience when flying in the original set-up (over Wi-Fi).

            For more staged setups, there's always MAVproxy

              Tax property, tax inheritance, tax capital gains no matter if realized or not, tax passive income of all kinds. Tax them progressively and tax the highest brackets high enough that these giant fortunes actually shrink. There is no other way (well... besides revolution) to reduce the spiraling inequality which is at the root of major problems all over the world.

                This is where God gets to prove he's real, and he's on the side of the people. If it's true, Venice will finally sink into the sea and become a legend, like Atlantis.

                If that happens, I'll finally go to church every Sunday. Hear me God? That's what it will take.

                  Imagine if you took $100 billion from any of these Goblins, they wouldn't even notice it, but that money could fund homeless solutions (or any other problem) forever.

                        The backlash that you'll receive from the cronies of mega-capital will make revolution inevitable. That's assuming you can get so far as to democratically reform the tax code in an electoral system that cages voters, manufacturers consent, and manipulates the courts to guarantee only their people hold office.

                        I can't even really disagree with you, but not trying still isn't an option. It's our job to at least try to convince our immediate peers.

                                    It's trivial to design an inheritance tax that doesn't tax a family's (first) home and starts above a certain amount (500k, a million, two, make it 10 for all I care) that still allows lower and middle classes to build reasonable wealth. It's also not that hard to not have a million loopholes for the excessively rich. That only gets difficult when people fall for the usual lies, like "businesses will close down and you will lose your jobs".

                                    Start penalizing tax havens like Ireland.

                                    Tax based on passport, allow for taxes at their place of residence to take priority (so, you can pay low taxes in Ireland, but if it's less than our tax, you pay the rest here), tax them a lot if they relinquish their passport. No need to start international beef about this.

                                    Oh, of course it is trivial, the issue is the political will to do it. As for tax havens I was thinking more along the lines of corporate tax evasion by companies like Apple.

                                      I literally don't care what he's doing as long as he doesn't do illegal tax evasion. He's not a bad person if he adhers to the laws. He had a big wedding, so what? Why do you even care? If think this is unfair go vote...

                                        He's renting it from the interest and profits he gets from those stocks. I'm paying tax on the gains I get from my stocks and so should he.

                                          You know that income tax and capital gains tax are not the only kinds of tax, right?

                                          There is no capital gains tax. There is tax on realized capital gains, which is income. Can you elaborate what you mean? I might be wrong.
