Probably because this thread is only remotely related to that? There's been countless discussions on the topic, doesn't mean every thread has to be about that.
I mean on Hacker News in general.
Little after 10am, pure speculation but wonder if the angle of the sun overwhelmed the dynamic range of the image sensor over a particularly inopportune area of the frame. Guessing no LiDAR on drones like this.
Terrifying. Imagine being a roofer or other worker when a delivery drone knocks your ass off the n-th floor surface that you're working on. It wouldn't take much to get somebody killed in such a precarious situation.
And the not much here is an 80 pounds drone (Mk30).

Its cool if a drone delivers your sandwich. But when the sky is littered with them because they are also delivering random stuff to all of your neighbors it very quickly becomes a lot less cool.
Never mind the fact that its concerning from a safety standpoint that one of the biggest players in the space has just proved (twice) that their drones can't even avoid a very large unmoving object.

Any modern roofer or other worker that could fall far is wearing a safety harness (with some exceptions for flat roofs that have railing set up).
> It's unclear if anyone was injured during the incident. 'It's unclear if' is a phrase that paints a brilliant picture of an organ's journalistic standing. It means there's no information either way, what follows is pure speculation, probably false, but the author can put whatever idea they want in our heads, since they've prefaced that it 'may or may not be the case'. It's unclear if the drones had malicious intent…
It's unclear if this commenter has read more than just the headlines. Maybe they try to argue for the sake of controversy and outrage culture. Maybe they just don't have a brain. But seriously, the article text doesn't follow up with any speculation and highlights it is a developing story. According to the latest news on TV, someone actually was insured and is now at the hospital. The details are still unclear howeve…

I think they're just trying to get ahead of the question everyone wants answered, and they're saying they don't know yet.
How about "there are no reports of injuries"?
