In this episode of Joculation, LP shares his unique brand of comedy and satire on the news and headlines which matter most. With every other news article talking about the famed Lazarus Group cybercrime syndicate run by the North Korean government, one would think the reputation which precedes this group would have any target crapping their pants. In this episode, we discover the hero that we need – a hacker with the handle Px4 who took matters into his own hands after being hacked by the Lazarus Group. Let's listen to LP regale the tale of how Px4 launched his own DDoS attack against the North Korean internet, successfully took it down, and then automated his future DDoS attacks against North Korea just for the LOLz. Everyone has fond memories of their first true love – how their heart raced and depth and intensity of the emotions they felt. Join LP as he shares the love story of famous psychedelic researcher Amanda Feilding and her 15-year relationship with a pigeon filled with intense passion and deep-seated jealousy. If you listen closely to the screams of your brain cells as they commit seppuku after hearing this story, you can almost hear the famous Zen koan reverberating through the emptiness - How does a pigeon give tiny little kisses to your pupils if they don't have lips? Life is filled with the tombstones of epic, celebrated product launches which soar like the Hindenburg and subsequently explode into a pile of shit like the sauerkraut and cheddar bratwurst the day after the Superbowl. Epic product fails like Peeps flavored Pepsi, Etat Libre d'Orange's Secretions Magnifiques a semen scented perfume to help remember the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s, and designer Nikolas Gregory's the Ripley - a kit which has everything you need to make intimately personalized jewelry from your ass are some of the greatest hits which litter this graveyard. In this episode, LP adds another opus of disaster to this list courtesy of Build-A-Bear and their ‘After Dark' horny teddy bear line. Yes, it's as painful as it sounds.

If we had 10 minutes to spend with Auterion's CEO, what would we learn? From the floor of the AUVSI Xponential drone conference in Orlando, Florida, I speak with Lorenz Meier, CEO of Auterion.  Auterion is the premier end-to-end operating system for commercial drones, based on open-standards, flexibility and choice.  As many know, in 2008 Lorenz created and released the PX4 autonomous drone autopilot to the open source community. He is also the creator of Pixhawk, MAVLink and QGroundControl, today's most commonly used flight control hardware and autopilot software.  Today, Auterion is the leader in open source operating systems. In this episode of the Drone Radio Show, Lorenz talks about the Auterion ecosystem and the opportunities in the drone industry. 

Another week, another industry-shaking antitrust bill from Senate Judiciary:  This time, it's the Open App Store Act, and Mark MacCarthy reports that it's got more bipartisan support than the last one. Maybe that's because there are only two losers, and only one big loser: Apple. The bill would force an end to Apple's app store monopoly. Apple says that would mean less privacy and security for users; Mark thinks there's something to that, but Bruce Schneier thinks that's hogwash. Our panel is mostly on Bruce's side of the debate. Meanwhile, Apple's real contribution to the debate is the enormous middle finger it's extending to other regulators trying to rein in Apple's app store fees. Megan Stifel reports that Anne Neuberger, the deputy national security adviser for cyber issues, has been traveling Europe to beef up our allies' cyber defenses as a Russian war looms in Ukraine. Details about how she's doing that are unsurprisingly sparse. Meanwhile, Europe is finally coming to grips with the logical consequences of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for the internet as we know it. Turns out, the whole thing is illegal in the EU. The Belgian data protection authority brought down a big chunk of the roof in holding the IAB liable for adtech bidding procedures that violate the GDPR. And a German court fined some poor website for using Google fonts, which are downloaded from Google and tell that company (located in *gasp* America) a lot about every user who goes to the website. Nick Weaver explains how the tech works. I argue that the logical consequence is that GDPR outlaws providing IP addresses to get data from another site—which is kinda how the internet functions. Nick thinks the damage can be limited to Facebook, Google and surveillance capitalism, so he isn't shedding any tears over that outcome. This leads us to a broader discussion of Facebook's travails, as its revenue model becomes the target of regulators, Apple, TikTok, Google, liberals and conservatives—all while subscriber growth starts to stall. I remind listeners of Baker's Law of Evil Technology: “You won't know how evil a technology can be until the engineers who built it begin to fear for their jobs.”  Megan and I break down the American Airlines lawsuit against The Points Guy over an app that syncs frequent flier data. I predict American will lose—and should. Mark and I talk about the latest content moderation flareups, from Spotify and Rogan to Gofundme's defunding of the Canadian lockdown protest convoy. Mark flogs his Forbes article, and I flog my latest Cybertoonz commentary on tech-enabled content moderation. Mark tells me to buckle up, more moderation is coming. Megan tells the story of PX4, who is hacking North Korea because it hacked him. Normally, that's the kind of moxie that appeals to me, but this effort feels a little amateurish and ill-focused. In quicker hits, Nick and I debate the flap over ID.me, and I try to rebut claims that face recognition has a bias problem. Megan explains the brief fuss over a legislative provision that would have enabled more and faster Treasury regulation of cryptocurrency. Speaking of Section 230, Mark touches on the Senate's latest version of the EARN IT bill, as the downsizing continues. I express surprise that Facebook would not only allow foreigners to solicit help from human traffickers on the site but would put the policy in writing.

A lot is happening in the drone space right now, with one of the big stories being the emergence of open-source for drones. Auterion has found itself an interesting niche in the industry, developing a drone operating system and analytics platform based on open-source R&D that is rapidly gaining traction. Think iOS vs. Android (Auterion). Auterion enables drone manufacturers to focus on their hardware, so they no don't have to worry about developing and continually updating the software layer that controls the aircraft and captures and manages the data. This reduces R&D costs and enables companies to focus on innovating new applications and payloads and focusing on key differentiators. Auterion is building an ecosystem of hardware platforms unified around a single software system, with a consortium of companies mounting a credible challenge against market leader DJI, chipping away at their market dominance. GE Aviation, Freefly, Avy, Impossible Aerospace, Quantum-Systems, and several other companies already use Auterion, with more in the works. At the heart of Auterion is PX4, the most used flight control software (in terms of units) in non-DJI drones. The project was started by Lorenz over 10 years ago and today counts more than 8000 users (individuals and companies) and 600+ contributors. Because the project is open source (and is permissively licensed) it has gained broad adoption worldwide and is today comparable to "the Linux" for drones. Hundreds of companies build components, products, and solutions that are compatible with these open standards. Lorenz Meier Co-Founder of Auterion joins me on the Tech Talks Daily Podcast to share the story behind the software platform designed to make large-scale drone operations simple, safe, and fully integrated in workflows.

Is there a better way for Enterprise Companies to manage large drone fleets? Today’s guests believe there is.  Lorenz Meier and Kevin Sartori are Co-Founders of Auterion, an enterprise drone software platform.  Auterion’s goal is to be the drone software platform of choice for enterprises and drone manufacturers, while accelerating the industry by driving forward open standards to create a common, future-proof roadmap. This gives everyone involved, whether vendors or buyers, confidence that they will achieve a return on their investment, and access to a wide choice of partners and integrations in an open ecosystem. Lorenz Meier, holds a Ph.D. in drone software architecture at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. In 2008 Lorenz created and released the PX4 autonomous drone autopilot to the open source community. Lorenz is also the creator of Pixhawk, MAVLink and QGroundControl, today’s most commonly used flight control hardware and autopilot software. He has been working in the drone and robotics industry for the past 10 years and in 2017 was nominated MIT 35 Innovators under 35 by MIT Technology Review for the development of PX4.  Lorenz is also a board member and community director at Dronecode, the organization that defines the open source standards in the UAV industry. Kevin Sartori holds a Master in Robotics from ETH Zurich and an MBA from UC Berkeley, Haas School of Business and has been working in the drone industry since 2008 when he was researching optimal control algorithms as part of the early Pixhawk team at ETH Zurich. In 2014, he moved to the San Francisco Bay Area and joined 3D Robotics, first as an Enterprise Product Manager and later as Senior Product Marketing Manager for Site Scan. He helped the company transition from a consumer hardware company to an enterprise Software as a Service company and lead the marketing and channel sales efforts. Today at Auterion, Kevin combines his consulting skills with his knowledge of the drone industry and technology to help drone manufacturers and drone service providers adopt new technologies, change business models, and bring new products to market. In early 2020, Auterion release Sky Node, which when combined with Auterion PX4 enables drone manufacturers to rapidly enter new markets by making their products compatible with an ecosystem of payloads, components, services, and workflow integrations. It short, it gives companies the tools they need to deploy large fleets of drones. In this edition of the Drone Radio Show, Lorenz and Kevin talk about Auterion’s open source platform, Sky Node and its applications and how enterprise companies can better manage a fleet of drones.

The First PX4 Developer Summit in Zurich marked an inflection point for the developer community and the industry as a whole. More than 200 developers from 20 countries filled the halls of ETH Zurich, the birthplace of PX4, to learn how they could contribute to the fastest growing open source code base for UAVs. The core developers in the community are committed to making the code base accessible and reliable for the enterprise user down to the hobbyist. During the sessions at the summit, they went over all the advancements being made in the community, the standards being set, and the roadmaps for future rollouts. I was able to pull a few of them aside to share their insights on the community at large, the MAV SDK, computer vision, and more. This episodes guests: Ramón Roche, Program Manager at Dronecode Julian Oes, Senior Software Engineer at Auterion Jonas Vautherin, Software Engineer at Auterion Martina Rivizzigno, Computer Vision Engineer at Auterion Tully Foote, ROS Platform Manager at the Open Source Robotics Foundation To find out more about what was talked about at the developer summit check out the official show site: https://www.dronecode.org/dev-summit-zurich/ Launching off the success of the first PX4 developer summit, the core devs from the community will be traveling to Las Vegas to speak at InterDrone this September 3-6. Dronecode has sponsored a special PX4 Track focused on educating the broader drone industry about the benefits of open source and how to successfully utilize PX4 to build custom UAS solutions for their businesses.

Ryan Walsh is the CEO of Valqari, a drone delivery solution based in Chicago, Illinois. Ryan and his team have developed a drone delivery solution to solve the last mile or last meter problem. I have to admit, before speaking with Ryan today, I had been very skeptical of drone delivery as a whole. I could predict it's success in rural environments, but the urban environment was where I predicted it would be difficult to impossible. Now after speaking with Ryan, I have a different outlook on drone delivery as a whole, and think that we're going to be there sooner than I or many expected! The key to Valqari's success isn't flying drones beyond visual line of sight, or navigating between distribution centre to the general delivery area, but rather the last few inches of delivery. Ryan and his team have developed a mailbox receiver system to "handshake" with the drone, and ensure a safe and successful delivery. Since his team isn't spending time on the other aspects of flight, they are mastering the close proximity last few inches of drone delivery, and their solution works with both DJI and PX4 powered drones. In addition to those systems, Valqari has also developed their own drones. So what does this mean for drone delivery? Well, I encourage you to listen to the whole episode, but just quickly he predicts that drone delivery will be a reality in 2020 or 2021. I bet that is sooner than you thought with how things have been going!

Both are Perth-based. Privately-owned C4D Intel specializes in asset inspection, mapping, and data analysis. Airbotix provides autonomous systems to clients applications such as inspection and testing, geospatial survey, scientific research and situational awareness. 4 open source drone projects Most consumer drones use proprietary software and hardware. But there are open source options: Paparazzi UAV is an open-source drone hardware and software project. It includes autopilot systems and ground station software for multicopters/multirotors, fixed-wing, helicopters, and hybrid aircraft. The system was designed with autonomous flight as the primary focus. The Linux Foundation-sponsored Dronecode project is building a common open source platform for UAV development. The project recently split with several Dronecode companies with developers forming a new project called PX4. an independent, open-source, open-hardware project providing the standard high-end autopilot to the industrial, academic and enthusiast communities. OpenDroneMap processes aerial imagery into point clouds, digital surface, and elevation models. It can also orthorectify imagery for further analysis. See the project wiki for more information. The University of Nebraska-Lincoln's College of Journalism and Mass Communications has a Drone Journalism Lab that seeks to educate journalists about the legal and ethical use of drones. Their 23-page operations manual is open sourced and free to download. Sections in the manual include Ethics and Privacy, General Operating Procedures, Pre-Flight, Flight, Post-Flight, and Logging. It also contains a number of Normal Operating Checklists and Emergency Procedures. Videos of the Week The winners of the Dutch Drone Awards 2016 have been announced.
