The raw storage density of a high-end sensing drone was approaching a petabyte even back then, so it is a plausible number if you have a large drone fleet. This roughly matches available COTS flash storage in ultra-dense form factors at the time. Live streams are likely going to be an extract of the captured data but you can always pull the storage array when it lands.
I haven’t done any math on 1.8 billion pixel video feed but I agree. There’s not enough radio bandwidth even for one drone to beam down over a million TB/day.
You'll no doubt soon be scolded for mentioning that quote, but it will continue to be relevant for as long as Zuckerberg's actions continue display that mentality. We'll soon have somebody telling us he said that years ago and people change, but the only thing that changed with Zuck is he became a bit more diplomatic and guarded with his language. Actions speak louder than words and Zuckerberg's actions speak clearly.
He's the same old dirt bag he ever was. Here are some fresh stories to back that up:
Yeah. If there was some evidence that Zuckerberg's overall approach had changed, I too would argue that continually resurfacing an old quote until the the end of time is unfair and unproductive.
All of Zuckerberg's and Facebook's actions, however, continue to suggest that his approach hasn't changed.
Yeah, for a funny example, we seem to have (mostly) stopped reminding Google of their old "don't be evil" slogan, since it became obvious their overall approach had changed ;-)
I used to be one of the scoldiers saying things like "oh all young nerds say dumb stuff when bragging to their friends"
Honestly the vibe's still there if you pay him/fb enough attention. I'm working on extracting myself completely from them (Still got a few group messages on upcoming events to clear)
Not sure why you are downvoted - always good to remember. In many ways thats what he kept saying until last year, even to congress - just with nicer, politically more appropriate words.
It's always good to remember this and we should keep repeating it.
This is the most profound insight we have into the mind of Mark Zuckerberg and what he thinks of his user base.
Stop listening to the PR and examine his actions since then. You can see how that comment was not merely a youthful indiscretion, but his entire business.
Zuckerberg continues to display this exact same mentality, only now he has billions of dollars in resources.
> Take, for example, when they intercept shipping deliveries. If a target person, agency or company orders a new computer or related accessories, for example, TAO can divert the shipping delivery to its own secret workshops. The NSA calls this method interdiction. At these so-called "load stations," agents carefully open the package in order to load malware onto the electronics, or even install hardware components that can provide backdoor access for the intelligence agencies. All subsequent steps can then be conducted from the comfort of a remote computer.

Daydream and Gear VR cannot do spatial VR (where your head moves left a few inches) which severely limits the immersiveness you can achieve. It's like watching a 360 video on the Vive or Rift. It's not a good feeling. You can look around but it's completely obvious that your head is not modeled in the world.
Unless they invent/integrate tech like Project Tango into most phones and make it work for spatial location this is not a problem that can really be solved on mobile.
