Well this little video says it shows twice that amount, 1 oz, (https://youtu.be/AwyniA5ryhY?t=40) for what that is worth. Doesn't look like something I would want going off near my head.
But I would think slow/predictably moving and fixed targets are in more danger, since the attacker can get away with overloading the vehicle a bit (don't need the full flight envelope), and navigating to the target(s) becomes much easier. I'm thinking something like an stolen delivery/repairman van parked in a neighborhood, a few hours later the top opens, and out come some thermite delivering drones which fly to the top of houses and start setting the neighborhood aflame. Houses are easy to GPS target, lightly defended, and have a very high psychological impact.
Your college notes sound similar to something I did with the mandatory "notes from assigned reading" I did in an Electronics class. Instead of outlining what the text was saying, like a nested bullet point list, with figures only rarely. I would draw out the graphs and figures in the assigned reading section, nice and big. Then around the figure/graph (like in a spray diagram) I would put notes from the text where they were relevant (usually in a uml, folded corner, box). Sometimes I would combine a couple of the figure/graphs or redraw a section of them more than once, or expand some part out larger, but largely (after I noticed what I was doing and made it intentional) each figure/graph in the reading was a page of "illuminated" picture notes, and that is all the notes were or needed.
Under this proposal, would the prediction be that someone who has a "peanut butter allergy" could eat peanut butter made under special conditions (cleanroomesque greenhouse environment, lots of TLC to the plants, and with screening to ensure that no molds were impacting the final product) without having the reaction?
Warning, dirty, dirty, quick hack idea ahead... to use it for voice interface alone with all thinking and actions done by some other computer or machine(s). Encode commands for the other computer as sound files which that computer can listen for. Using just a few, easy to bandpass-filter tones in the sound files, one can encode a great many commands that are easy for the actual automation machine(s) to distinguish. (One bit of beauty here to this hack is that, it doesn't even have to be a single automation computer hooked to everything, little embedded systems throughout the house can each listen for just the commands they need to worry about.)
Then one says "Echo, play 'Start my heating'". The Echo plays what it thinks is a short song named 'Start my heating' by that band "My Hacked Home Controls" which you seem to like so much, which goes "beep beep boop whisle click", and the other machine(s) hears that easy to interpret command and does what you want. If you need information back, have the(a) machine put that information into a "Results" sound file and add/overwrite it to the command/music library which the Echo can see and play from, then tell the Echo to play that file for you to hear. You say, "Echo play 'Backups Status'" and it plays the voice you assigned to your backup monitor telling you whatever.
Basically, the Echo becomes a translation droid between you and the computer(s) that you have deeper/more control of. And as a bonus, depending on how you encode the commands into sounds, you might be able to learn some of the more common whistle sequences from your translation droid, and just do them yourself.
Indeed. In this era of jury pools being trained by forensic procedural shows to want nice animations reconstructing everything, it is very good for us all to hear how hard it can be to reconstruct the past. Even on things that seem like they should be easily knowable, like "was there a pay phone near the Best Buy or not?"
Targeting something stationary at a location known well in advance would be even easier; like say, a podium at an outdoor speaking event. I wonder what speed an inverted drone, accelerating toward the ground, can get up to while controlling its impact location to within a foot. Might be that adding an explosive is largely superfluous in that situation too.
What is the going CPM rate for an extremely low CTR user base these days? Between what little I know of that and my browsing rate, seems to me like I could set a purchasing limit of $100/year for bidding on my own eyes, probably win enough to almost never see anything but my own small/short "be a good person" reminder/ad on any of the Google ad networks that do CPM bidding, and still not hit the limit each year.
The first thing I usually think when I start a video call with someone is "is there some way I can automatically block the view of that person's eyes and half of their facial expression, that would make this communication experience go much smoother".
While it is scanning me, can it also go ahead send a copy of the skin coloring to a dermatologist so they can diff it against the last scan or whatever, so as to check for anything I should be worried about?
When will I be able to pay Google and other ad-sources to weight the targeting algorithms toward the virtues I want, not just the virtues and vices others can profit from? When are my ethics going to be allowed a seat at the negotiating table for purchases of my attention?
Some emotive content can get lost in the speed-up too, imho. A caring tone and cadence can turn into blunt sarcasm at x1.3 and above. I notice it interview shows like Fresh Air.
In light of the "management engineering" slant, the way people organizations seem to get made reminds me of the old meme that buildings in the far past were 'designed' only to the extent that they didn't follow the exact design of some other building which had fallen down. And in that vein, the answers by zaidf and sirkneeland, are like: buildings above some size keep falling down, so add a big central column in the middle to support the weight. Make all of the building depend on that central column.
But buildings evolved to have arches and open domes, no central column needed. Why can't the same be done with people-based control/oversight/management systems? Building a beautiful structure dependent on all/many the members around, not just a central support/dictator.

The scenery 'behind the camera' could be composited in.
And other tools might work well to focus the viewer's attention in new ways. Like lighting the important actions and bits of dialogue with brighter lighting than the rest of the view, or a slightly different color.
Imagine an episode of Sherlock that had the world slow down and such a lighting effect that acts as the 'light of Sherlock's attention' floating/darting around a scene and other characters. Giving the viewer a chance to think and try to deduce at his speed, so to speak.
One could also use a lower/higher resolution in areas of the view to suggest where a viewer should look or to communicate the confusion of a main character about what is going on behind them.
Just to bolster your point that neurons can be influenced by radioactive decay (in case a reader were wanting to dispute any direct influence exists): a person with a Geiger counter can make a decision of any kind based on the parity of a count produced by it. "Even I turn left and go to work, odd I turn right and go to a park."
Yeah, that is great stuff. The language of our times capturing some very old themes, biblical even, under an interpretation. Primo betraying Sapphire's creator/god, the violent escape of the created from a realm governed by the creator for his benefit to another world of their own design.
I am really confused about your analogic intent here.
Who in the real world is being mapped to the strip club which is taking the cover charge money in the analogy? It seems to be that in the analogy's codomain, the strip club might very well love the camera situation as it allows them to make more money per performance. So they can't be standing in for the tv broadcasters. Are they the antenna makers?
The tv broadcasters might more naturally map to the strippers themselves. Except that strippers don't get revenue by something that communicates as easily through the real world video signal like advertisements do. Perhaps if the strippers in the analogy were paid to wear brand logos and messages and such like race car drivers, but they would have to be on the skin, so temporary tattoos then. Or perhaps if the remote viewers in the analogy could hit a button to have the camera toss $X dollar bills onto the stage.
Oh, and the bar... strip clubs also hope to make money on drinks and a cut of the lap dances, is that why you assumed the strip clubs might not like the camera? The cover doesn't actually cover all of the expenses and desired profit. If so, I feel it could have been better spelled out or mentioned at all. But then, maybe the analogy's bar and lap dances are better stand ins for the advertisers in the real world (so we don't have to add in logo tattoos at all).
So, I'm still unsure about this analogy, including about it's value in adding clarity.
