Well this little video says it shows twice that amount, 1 oz, (https://youtu.be/AwyniA5ryhY?t=40) for what that is worth. Doesn't look like something I would want going off near my head.
But I would think slow/predictably moving and fixed targets are in more danger, since the attacker can get away with overloading the vehicle a bit (don't need the full flight envelope), and navigating to the target(s) becomes much easier. I'm thinking something like an stolen delivery/repairman van parked in a neighborhood, a few hours later the top opens, and out come some thermite delivering drones which fly to the top of houses and start setting the neighborhood aflame. Houses are easy to GPS target, lightly defended, and have a very high psychological impact.
Your college notes sound similar to something I did with the mandatory "notes from assigned reading" I did in an Electronics class. Instead of outlining what the text was saying, like a nested bullet point list, with figures only rarely. I would draw out the graphs and figures in the assigned reading section, nice and big. Then around the figure/graph (like in a spray diagram) I would put notes from the text where they were relevant (usually in a uml, folded corner, box). Sometimes I would combine a couple of the figure/graphs or redraw a section of them more than once, or expand some part out larger, but largely (after I noticed what I was doing and made it intentional) each figure/graph in the reading was a page of "illuminated" picture notes, and that is all the notes were or needed.
Under this proposal, would the prediction be that someone who has a "peanut butter allergy" could eat peanut butter made under special conditions (cleanroomesque greenhouse environment, lots of TLC to the plants, and with screening to ensure that no molds were impacting the final product) without having the reaction?
Warning, dirty, dirty, quick hack idea ahead... to use it for voice interface alone with all thinking and actions done by some other computer or machine(s). Encode commands for the other computer as sound files which that computer can listen for. Using just a few, easy to bandpass-filter tones in the sound files, one can encode a great many commands that are easy for the actual automation machine(s) to distinguish. (One bit of beauty here to this hack is that, it doesn't even have to be a single automation computer hooked to everything, little embedded systems throughout the house can each listen for just the commands they need to worry about.)
Then one says "Echo, play 'Start my heating'". The Echo plays what it thinks is a short song named 'Start my heating' by that band "My Hacked Home Controls" which you seem to like so much, which goes "beep beep boop whisle click", and the other machine(s) hears that easy to interpret command and does what you want. If you need information back, have the(a) machine put that information into a "Results" sound file and add/overwrite it to the command/music library which the Echo can see and play from, then tell the Echo to play that file for you to hear. You say, "Echo play 'Backups Status'" and it plays the voice you assigned to your backup monitor telling you whatever.
Basically, the Echo becomes a translation droid between you and the computer(s) that you have deeper/more control of. And as a bonus, depending on how you encode the commands into sounds, you might be able to learn some of the more common whistle sequences from your translation droid, and just do them yourself.
Indeed. In this era of jury pools being trained by forensic procedural shows to want nice animations reconstructing everything, it is very good for us all to hear how hard it can be to reconstruct the past. Even on things that seem like they should be easily knowable, like "was there a pay phone near the Best Buy or not?"
Targeting something stationary at a location known well in advance would be even easier; like say, a podium at an outdoor speaking event. I wonder what speed an inverted drone, accelerating toward the ground, can get up to while controlling its impact location to within a foot. Might be that adding an explosive is largely superfluous in that situation too.
I don't think kamikaze drones are even remotely practical as weapons for assassination. You'll have big issues with accuracy, lethality, and the element of surprise. It could work, but I don't see any circumstances where a hunting rifle wouldn't be a far better tool in every aspect.
