asciilifeform There was a discussion about this on the OpenBSD misc mailing archives back in 2012: http://marc.info/?t=133961305400003&r=1&w=2 Theo's initial response to the thread, which may help illuminate the situation, was: "Except for the fact that it is bullshit. They started the fork because they got kicked out because one developer (Marco) hired 5 other developers for his startup company, and attempted to hire around 10 other deve [01:20]
asciilifeform lopers in a sneaky and underhanded way. They were told, oh i forget they were "asked", to not tell anyone else in OpenBSD that this was happening, probably because people "including Theo" would be upset. Funny thing is, I've never been upset about the 20+ OpenBSD and ex-OpenBSD developers who now work for google. Previously, many of those developers were in critical positions in the development team. As they were suddenly hire [01:20]
asciilifeform d with such terms and conditions, they became more scarce in OpenBSD --perhaps because they suddenly got real busy with work, but also to avoid telling others that this was happening. Various projects lagged. To avoid telling a lie, they instead chose to not tell the truth. It had effects. It was dishonest of them to not tell their co-developers that they were creating vacuums in the development process. So because of those de [01:20]

And it is directed by the guy who hired them in the first place. From where I stand, that is the truth. Yet none of that is in that article, because the truth hurts, doesn't it guys?" [01:21]

decimation demilitarized of course [01:58]
decimation probably not little birds though, probably something more like UH-1 [01:59]
asciilifeform actually what i saw (forgot precisely what brand!) was a tiny thing with a jet engine. big enough for two men and a bulbous camera, and two hours of jp-4. [02:00]

decimation asciilifeform: my impression upon listening to police helicopter chatter is tha a majority of the calls for a helicopter come when either a kid wonders off or some perp tries to run from the po-lice [02:06]
decimation both of those missions could easily be performed by drone [02:06]
asciilifeform don't forget the traffic jobs. [02:06]
decimation eh, my impression is that they don't enforce traffic from the air much [02:06]
decimation or if they do, it's usually in cooperation with cops on the ground [02:07]
asciilifeform everything with cops on the ground [02:07]

decimation why not [02:08]
asciilifeform can't loiter [02:09]
decimation if the camera has automatic gimble, it hardly matters if the craft is stationary [02:09]
decimation gimbal [02:09]
decimation fixed-wing aircraft are much more fuel efficient [02:09]
asciilifeform chopper can sit down on a roof and film. [02:10]
asciilifeform efficient. [02:10]
decimation heh true [02:10]
ben_vulpes i was noodling on a fully-actuated flying wing last night. [02:10]
BingoBoingo ben_vulpes: Tase is part of why the UNHCR is shitting on USG atm [02:10]
ben_vulpes 2 turbines perpendicular to long axis, with piping adequate to vector the thing around any of its axes. [02:11]
decimation ben_vulpes: was this a remote-control aircraft? [02:11]
ben_vulpes adequate, but also wicked performance gained by virtue of being able to control angle of attack. [02:11]
ben_vulpes decimation: it'd have to have the controller onboard. [02:12]
asciilifeform BingoBoingo: are you familiar with china's reply to 'why did you roll up the (tiananmen) students (molotov-armed, by some reliable accounts - also with grenades) with tanks ?' [02:12]
ben_vulpes probably flight planner too. [02:12]
decimation kinda like the 'osprey' [02:12]
asciilifeform BingoBoingo: indignant (spontaneously or compensated, either) foreigners asked, 'why didn't you tase them, use tear gas' [02:13]
Vexual asciilifeform: is it beacuse they didn't have swarms of irritant devlivery drones? [02:13]
decimation with enough raw thrust, aerodynamics don't matter, can dance your vectoring fighter jet tango-style [02:13]
BingoBoingo lol [02:13]

Vexual fair answer, they weren't expecting it [02:14]
ben_vulpes decimation: still gotta get from point a to b - i'd like to see a thing that eschewed flaps for ducted turbine exhaust. [02:14]
decimation ben_vulpes: well, personal jet packs are fun, but not exactly fuel efficient [02:14]
asciilifeform http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-01-2014#461125 << see also thread. [02:15]
assbot Logged on 26-01-2014 19:43:38; asciilifeform: for instance, they see their country as having 'sat for the same exam' as the ussr, and passed, while the latter flunked. [02:15]
ben_vulpes decimation: that's why i've always advocated going straight up with jets and then drifting sideways for as long as possible [02:15]
ben_vulpes decimation: imagine a really high aspect ratio diamond [02:15]
* assbot removes voice from Vexual [02:15]
decimation that's an interesting idea [02:15]
decimation well, ultimately you could build a rocket that propels you to the high altitude winds of the stratosphere and unfolds massive delicate wings [02:16]
ben_vulpes two turbines aligned perpendicular to the long axis, with vent outputs from the turbines outputs all the way out at the tips of the diamond. [02:16]
ben_vulpes that way you have full control over pitch, roll, yaw [02:16]
ben_vulpes plus your main thrusters for "oomph" [02:16]
ben_vulpes with this kind of design it's trivial to turn end over end and stop extremely quickly. [02:16]
decimation isn't that kinda what the f-117 does [02:17]
asciilifeform ben_vulpes: answer then (i haven't any idea) - why is 'vtol' uncommon today ? [02:17]
decimation my understanding is that it wastes alot of fuel [02:17]
ben_vulpes decimation: not a "thrust reverser": flip the whole beast around its long axis [02:18]
ben_vulpes thrust is now reversed [02:18]
ben_vulpes asciilifeform: vtol requires ducting thrust orthogonally to operating thrust vector [02:18]
decimation ben_vulpes: would the diamond shape generate much lift? [02:18]
ben_vulpes wasteful [02:18]
ben_vulpes decimation: "diamond" << wave hands [02:18]
decimation 'osprey' is attempt to fix that [02:18]
ben_vulpes you can have a symmetric wing [02:18]
ben_vulpes so long as it has ducted thrust at the tips of both the long axis and short axis, you can arbitrarily dictate its angle of attack. [02:19]
decimation yeah I kinda see what you are getting at [02:19]
ben_vulpes (almost needless to say that the vectoring needs to go in both directions) [02:19]
ben_vulpes no gimbals [02:19]
ben_vulpes nothing but exhaust valves and delta-f control systems. [02:20]
decimation no but the thrust control would be complicated [02:20]
ben_vulpes what part? [02:20]
BingoBoingo Ah, lawyer backed off from needing an expert in Bitcoin after I posted rates. [02:20]

ben_vulpes asciilifeform: that's the only kinda vtol that'll work [02:21]
ben_vulpes decimation: active stabilization. [02:21]
decimation asciilifeform: that's neat, would be useful to have stowed in your submarine [02:21]
decimation right, active stabilization implies fast computers (fairly easy) with lots of fast reacting thrust valves right? [02:22]
mats_cd03 BingoBoingo: what was your asking rate [02:23]
decimation asciilifeform: note, there's not any external gimbaled camera [02:24]
BingoBoingo mats_cd03: $175/hr, 30 hour minimum. $5000 retainer. $300 per diem any day I travel. [02:24]
mats_cd03 lol [02:24]
BingoBoingo I think that's cheap [02:24]
decimation other than the retainer that's pretty much in line for a qualified professional [02:24]
ben_vulpes decimation: bang bang pneumatic valves aren't terribly hard to put together. [02:25]
ben_vulpes pwm control. [02:25]
BingoBoingo retainer is essential. [02:25]
BingoBoingo Because qualified professional [02:25]
decimation ben_vulpes: it is a neat concept. It would probably make a neat little drone too [02:25]
BingoBoingo If I'm an expert I ought to be making more than the lawyers when I read and talk. [02:26]
ben_vulpes decimation: it's a wartime project. [02:26]
BingoBoingo And per diem is essential too, because if I'm going to chicago I'm not staying in a fucking Motel 8. I'm staying in the Sheraton, as a professional. [02:26]
ben_vulpes artists and armsmiths both need patrons. [02:27]
