A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

There's a good reason that even professional pilots working for airline companies need to submit a complete flight plan even thinking of entering the cockpit and taking off. Can you even imagine the billionaires playing with this toy are actually going to submit flight plans? It's going to be a disaster. The first time a commercial flight is taken down by one of these things, they'll be banned world wide, hopefully BEFORE that happens.
I can see them bogging up international waters if they can make it launchable and recoverable by yachts. Imagine Bezos' fleet will finally get an aircraft carrier.
