Los Angeles, CA — Assemblyman Mike Gatto Southern of California lawmaker introduced legislation this week that would require owners of drones to get insurance and license plates, similar to the requirements for motor vehicles. The bill is called the Drone Registration/Omnibus Negligence-prevention Enactment (DRONE) Act of 2016 and would tighten the restrictions on personal drones even further than they have been already.
“If cars have license plates and insurance, drones should have the equivalent, so they can be properly identified, and owners can be held financially responsible, whenever injuries, interference, or property damage occurs,” Gatto told CBS.
The bill has technical requirements …read more

We can tell you what people will do before they do it. We use these two, well-tested, rules of thumb…
People will tend to do nothing until they’ve had repeated reminders to take action. There’s an “inertia problem,” but…
People will tend to do what the media tells them to do, even when people believe they’re immune to “media manipulation.”
This second problem is the greater difficulty, because it’s hard to talk people out of something their pride tells them they don’t do in the first place. But our results don’t lie…

Even DC Downsizers are slaves to media agenda setting.

Washington, D.C. – In spite of French-led U.N. Security Council Resolution 1973 creating a no-fly zone over Libya with the express intent of protecting civilians, one of the over 3,000 new Hillary Clinton emails released by the State Department on New Year’s Eve, contain damning evidence of Western nations using NATO as a tool to topple Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi. The NATO overthrow was not for the protection of the people, but instead it was to thwart Gaddafi’s attempt to create a gold-backed African currency to compete with the Western central banking monopoly.
The emails indicate the French-led NATO military …read more

I’ve talked recently on my science and tech podcast, Sovryn Tech, about how the real future of Virtual Reality (or “VR”) and its siblings (Augmented Reality and Mixed Reality) is in the mobile space. Google Cardboard, Samsung’s GearVR, and I think even a reoriented HTC will all be the major driving forces in VR that comes from your smartphone, and since nearly everyone owns (or will own) a smartphone today, the infrastructure is there for great VR experiences to be had.
But those VR experiences–which don’t need to be graphically impressive as I’m sure they will be on the PC–need to …read more

This week, Harney County Fire Marshall Chris Briels resigned after discovering undercover FBI agents posing as militia members near the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, which has been the site of a standoff for weeks now. According to Briels, he found FBI agents who were impersonating militia members lurking around the town’s armory. When he inquired about the undercover operation with county Judge Steve Grasty he was told to back off.
Just before this discovery was made, there were reports of people who looked like militia harassing locals, which is uncharacteristic of the protesters who initially assembled at the refuge. It turns …read more

How the regime media takes advantage of your human nature.

Sure, Google Cardboard and Gear VR works great for an easy, portable, Virtual Reality (VR) viewer/experience…but what do we do about simple interactive/motion controls to interact with your mobile device in VR? As I said in a recent episode of my science and tech podcast, Sovryn Tech, these solutions were coming in short order, along with an overall improvement of the VR experience that a mobile phone can deliver.
And now both solutions have been announced, and will be released in 2016. And, in my opinion, they’re pretty simple and elegant, and won’t really require any kind of “paradigm shift” or …read more
