The definition I'm using is something like: "more than 80% of a country's landmass is covered by a landmass on the other side"

So china has parts where you hit land, but most of it hits ocean, and so it's not on the list.

Fun? Otherwise hard to measure overlap of anything unless I start referring to topographic features / biomes / ecoregions which are less widely understood

I also love how Japan, barely just barely scratches the coast of Brazil.

In the anime Darker Than Black, one of the plot points is a Heaven and Hell Gate centered around Tokyo and Brazil, with the implication that one is the antipode of the other. But they're not!

The only place where Japan overlaps Brazil is the tiny Kagoshima prefecture

I'd argue that at least half of New Zealand isn't covered.

I do agree that vietnam shouldn't be in that list, but Cambodia should?

Sorry, finding an interactive map with simple country borders is surprisingly difficult. I tried OSM and Google and just wrote down the names I saw. My geography of southeast asia is obviously bad.

Suggest a better title, and I'll happily change

If it's not normal to wake up in the middle of night with palpatations and existential dread caused by an overload of caffeine/sugar/terrible world, then I don't know what normal is

Other countries like China and Colombia have partial coverage in some regions.

The Greenland and Antartica antipodes don't really count imo

No, but also Yes.

Tell that to these guys:

Typically for direct connections (see this FAQ entry), the latency is around 50 ms. The pre- and post-processing of the live video stream is more than that, which you will also experience when flying in the original set-up (over Wi-Fi).

For more staged setups, there's always MAVproxy

You can fly the drone without a license in secret, and the law only requires that you scribble the ID somewhere on the craft -- something you do not need to do if flying for clandestine purposes.

Not all drone's fly via radio, many use direct WiFi connections which can be completely spoofed over 3G proxies so that the drone and operator aren't in direct contact with one another

who control the air?

Somehow when I see them in pictures, I feel fine.

Somehow when I see them in person, I nope out of the room, find the biggest glass cup I can find, turn on all the lights to confuse them into settling on a wall somewhere, and then I sneak up on them without casting a shadow.

You'll live, motherfucker, but not in my house.

I don't get it, what's to stop people photobombing his wedding with lots and lots of annoying drones

Listen here you lemniscate, I don't want any more analemma's out of you!

May your quantum eraser never run dry

You have many parallel selves that didn't make it. Wonder how many more selves you have left

I was thinking the exact same thing. Mud walls are great insulators, and keep really cool during the intense summer heat
