Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

To me this looks like it's already been out-innovated by the USAF:

Range of 40nm, other glide bombs have longer range.
40 nanometers is a terrible range!
it's what you get when you don't involve private sector innovation!
Part of me suspects there's plenty of those kinda kits out there. The appeal's pretty obvious - just pop the fucker onto any random dumb ordnance you've got laying about, and boom, instant smart bomb.
