Selfiecopter and Arduino

Belatedly posting: the guy (Mark Rober) stumbled on the simple secret used on Youtube for earning money by being an advertising associate. In the selfiecopter fake it is all about links to the motor and electronics purchasing. The ultimate truth is no longer important, the money is in the non-obvious combination of half-truths in media, ideas, presentation and hardware.




This is a sort of a high pop science. The miniaturization and electronic control is hi tech. They used Arduino printed circuit, and it is the center piece of  electronics part of Israel's matriculation exams. Extremely hard. But nice to see it being used so comfortably in the video.

Deduced statistics fit for the news

Just about anyone nowadays has access to government statistics.
It is enough to avail oneself of an online graphics generator and plot just about anything and make just about any correlation that is sensational enough, and then publish it as a news graphic. Also thanks to tylervigen.com.
How about this:
"Our science reporter found that science, space and technology causes people to commit suicide."

"Our sources confirm that crude imports from Norway caused fatal collisions between cars and trains. The good news: the trend is declining."

"Our investigative team found that nuclear energy generated by the US causes people to drown in their own swimming pool!"

the no longer secret, ghostly NOLA base.

Some of the buildings on the base were the most off-limits facilities in Louisiana, besides those at Barksdale AFB. Now these strictly classified buildings are abandoned and explored by professionals (The Proper People.)

Something queasy about the formerly busiest spaces being empty and unimportant.
