The US military/intelligence apparatus is so large it wouldn't surprise me if this is yet another case of the left hand not knowing what the right is up to. Or maybe they had a vague idea, considering they didn't even attempt to shoot them down. Going off the nonchalant response, this is probably not the first time UAVs have flown over their ships. Except this time it was unplanned, and so kicked off an investigation.
I'm getting UFO crank vibes from both authors social media. Also no mention of request for comment from any official in the reporting. Just building a narrative from a selective release of FIOA requests.
Given how long the US military has been running drone operations world wide it's a near certainty they have war gamed the scenario of the adversary's drones attack at night under a new moon.
If the drones are quad copters then they would need to be released released pretty close to the target (under 10 miles say). If they are winged drones then they are most likely military in origin.
The story of the drones over Colorado seems to have sunk beneath the seas. However there were so many drones and so many sightings who ever was behind that would certainly have anticipated that the drones would be detected by civilians.
The fact that none of these drones have been captured (just shoot at the lights) leads me to belief these are all military in origin war gaming drone warfare 2.0.

At the very least you should be required to put a visual sign that your vehicle is in "FSD" mode. Sort of like how we require "oversize load" signs so that others can take extra precautions around those vehicles.
Watching the video gives me flashbacks of trying to teach someone to drive. Actually I'd probably prefer that than trying to babysit this headache in traffic. At least then I'd get paid for the hassle.
That's probably part of the calculus, but mainly it's to deliver at least something on an over-promised feature.
I also wonder how good the training examples are, if they're just using average drivers without any quality control. Like when I'm teaching someone to drive, I'm following traffic laws to the tee. But when I'm doing my day to day driving, it's mostly about optimizing time. There's probably a reason why Waymo hired and trained drivers to teach their algo in a standardized way.
> While adding a number, Sakari provides the Letter of Authorization for the user to sign. Sakari's LOA says that the user should not conduct any unlawful, harassing, or inappropriate behaviour with the text messaging service and phone number.
But as Lucky225 showed, a user can just sign up with someone else's number and receive their text messages instead.
So this means that the only protection from attacks like this is the law, and not a technical or operational hurdle like going through an AT&T hotline to get sim swapping going.
This is bad news because following the law isn't a top priority when trying to hack someone.
> The US is roughly 60% Europe, 25% Latin America, 10% Africa and 5% Asia.
Yes. Everyone knows African Americans have more in common with Africans than Americans. Asian Americans are a monolith, and so is Asia. And Latin Americans speak Latin. Sigh.
Yeah, this reads kind of like an early-1900s scientist going on about skull shapes. There are cultural reasons why "We ain't Europe" is true, but they can't be broken down to percentages of ethnicities.
That’s entertaining but I just went a year back into that author’s posts and she never called them anything differently. Writing a lot about border immigration, ICE, and their facilities.
The implication never was that this particular journalist called them anything else. Just the current administration and the broader political culture. I don't think the "kids in cages" framing is as common ever since the election, but there are still some consistent voices calling it what it is.
Different people that are not actually invested in this cause are not putting energy into the migrant children internment and won't. They move on to the controversy du jour.
It is unproductive to shoehorn that observation into this article as if this article, or author or poster or community as a representation of the "Broader political culture" contribute to that observation. If it did, I would agree with you, and I felt the need to check.
OP's comment isn't about the author of this article but instead about the cultural narratives which resulted in this particular article to be brought to the front page of HN as opposed to another.
The CDC and WHO have both repeatedly said children have relatively low transmission rates. And yet this FUD article about COVID risk to these kids is what gets pushed to the top. It feels like only yesterday these facilities were literally being referred to as Nazi camps.
So low COVID risk front page. Nazi camps... basically vanished from our attention. This is not a commentary on the author of this article but the social consciousness that selected to promote this article.
