Playing on the rail tracks also incurs incredible personal risk -- doesn't make it wise. Seems fair to me for the author to give their opinion that they don't believe this to be an effective form of protest. Especially given that they list their specific concerns.

FPVs don't seem anti-tank replacement -- they do seem to have a role against soft targets ie against massing infantry, c2 nodes or suppression of enemy mortars. In this role, from a distance, they seem harder to suppress than the alternative, ie mortars.

Also these are immature tech... I suspect at least some of the issues identified will be mitigated in time.

Meant to respond to top level parent who said:

dicts would subclass sets

Was trying to make the case as to why treating dictionaries as a child of <generic collection> with an extend/merge operation using ‘+’ rather than a child of set with a union operation ‘|’ makes more sense (to me).

Changing the behaviour of a well defined operation like union seems bad - although my case is somewhat undermined by python’s overloading of ‘+’ to mean extend.

Self censorship is the only way the book burners can really triumph. So long as humanities' collective ingenuity continues to exceed the sum of our malevolence; I ain't too worried. Ps key base is awesome :)
