    The whole idea that it violates the terms of service of a company to not let them show things on my screen without my consent is insane. It’s like if every time you went to the grocery store, the employees held you down and force fed you a free sample, then banned you from the store when you started running away from them.





  • Generally students will get financial aid and scholarships that cover much of the cost of tuition, especially if they’re from a lower income family. I’m guessing that, as an international student from a wealthier family, your son didn’t quality for much aid. Tuition is also generally lower for residents of the state, which he also wouldn’t qualify as.

    Even with all that it’s still incredibly expensive and lots of people end up having to take out large loans or work jobs while in college to cover the cost.




  • You don’t have to register it with the FAA; you’re already going to murder someone, who cares if you break a few more laws?

    The last point assumes someone’s recording the wireless activity of the drone in the moments before the explosion, which I think is pretty unlikely. And the internals of the drone should be destroyed by the explosion, rendering it practically impossible to extract any identifying information other than the general drone model.

    And even if all wireless traffic is being recorded and triangulated, pick a busy place and you’re just one guy on your phone in a crowd of thousands. You can also order the drone anonymously months ahead of time and pick it up somewhere with poor security camera coverage to all but ensure there’s no record linking it to you.
