I built a small project on Cloudflare and it just works. I've had only one issue where I ended up contacting support and they were very prompt in addressing it.
The most insane thing about this is that it is not illegal to manufacture firearms in the United States. Providing that you do not sell or distribute the firearm, it is entirely legal to manufacture a firearm in the USA for personal use only. Laws vary state by state, of course, and it may be different in the state of New York, but assuming that this federal law has not been overridden by some state law in New York, then this proposed regulation is 100% nonsensical.
This was a "scratching my own itch" project that I cooked up because I was tired of Claude et al cluttering up all of my stuff with random markdown files. Just a simple Obsidian plugin to serve an API that the CLI tool can use to interact with the Obsidian vault. I use a Claude Skill to get the model to create all of those random markdown files in my Obsidian vault, and read from them when it needs context for something. It's working really well for me so far!
Well of course it produced bad results... it was given a bad prompt. Imagine how things would have turned out if you had given the same instructions to a skilled but naive contractor who contractually couldn't say no and couldn't question you. Probably pretty similar.
Judging from what my contacts say, I would not hold my breath. HCP is going to get smashed by bureaucracy and bigcorp bs just like all other IBM acquisitions. All you have to do to verify this is look at linkedin and track the departures of the the acquired staff.
That's not true, commercial and municipal drones operate above 400ft all the time. Non-commercial/civilian drones piloted by someone without an FAA Part 107 certification and a waiver cannot fly above 400ft. Also, you are allowed to fly 400ft -above- a vertical structure (like a tower) up to 1000ft tall to avoid exactly this type of collision as long as you are within 400ft horizontally of the structure.
EDIT: crud, I did not read your post carefully enough, sorry, you addressed this point exactly. My bad.
Do you think that airplanes, helicopters, and balloons are also inherently a creepy, invasive technology as well? Because from the perspective of capturing imaging data from the air there is really no functional difference between those and UAS...
Yes, that clause/phrase restricts the company's rights with respect to their license to your data. Essentially, a clause like that is necessary for users to interact with the service. Makes sense when you think about it, how can they provide service if they can't use the data you provide them?
It's a pretty typical clause you'll see in most SaaS policies.
