Yeah, the drones are basically maneuvering sea mines now. And many of long term loitering. Going to be weird.

It might not be their own crash. Just a crash that snarled up traffic to drive around.

Atwood is also one of the sanest centrist voices I've ever read, in essays and interviews. (Centrist by Canadian standards -- probably quite left by US standards). She always seems to be acutely aware of institutional inertia and how things like independent courts are vital to free societies. Wish there were more like her.

The tops of the clouds on the night side of Venus are about -45°C. So it's not actually glowing like the image implies. But in infrared, you can reprocess the colours to make a delightful image like the above.

The legal and administrative overhead to do all of that would incur significant additional costs. We shall see.
