https://mocomi.com/ presents Drones, fun fact series episode 13.
A Drone, also known as an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), is an aircraft without a pilot on board.
Its flight is usually controlled in two ways; either autonomously by computers in the vehicle (auto pilot) or under the remote control of a pilot on the ground.
A. M. Low's "Aerial Target" in 1916 was one of the earliest attempt at a powered unmanned aerial vehicle.
There are two types of unmanned vehicles used by the US military in Afghanistan and other places, known as Predators and Global Hawks. Highly skilled aviator pilots fly them. Thanks to a combination of technology advances, a pilot no longer needs to be physically sitting in the airplane.
A first-person view (FPV) aircraft has a front-facing video camera and transmits real-time video to an operator on the ground. The pilot flies the plane by looking at an image on a computer screen transmitted by the camera, giving him or her the feel of sitting in the cockpit.
The UAVs are unmanned aircraft guided exclusively by GPS or on-board computer analysis of imagery, but they aren't first-person view UAVs.
Aerial surveillance of large areas is now made possible with such low cost UAVs for livestock monitoring, wildfire mapping, pipeline/home secuirty, road patrol and anti-piracy.
UAVs can be used to perform geophysical and geomagnetic surveys.
MQ1 predator UAVs armed with Hellfire missiles are now majorly used by the US for hitting their ground targets.
To assassinate high profile targets inside Afghanistan: Armed Predators were first used in late 2001 from bases in Pakistan and Uzbekistan.
4756 people have killed been by US UAVs as per the report of senator Lidsey Graham, in February 2013.
Currently, engineers are working to produce UAVs that are capable of air to air combat, aerial refueling, combat search and rescue with facial recognition and resupply to agents on the ground.

This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥
Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
About YouTube 📺
YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. 🌟
Content and Users 🎵
Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.
While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.
Monetization and Impact 🤑
YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.
As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. 📈
