Bali Drone Laws 2025: Ultimate Guide to Permits, No-Fly Zones, and Avoiding Huge Fines

Bali Drone Laws 2025: Ultimate Guide to Permits, No-Fly Zones, and Avoiding Huge Fines

The maximum legal drone altitude in Bali is 150 meters above ground, and flying higher requires explicit permission from the DGCA. All drones must be registered with the DGCA via the SIPUDI online system, with a registration certificate valid for 3 years and the drone labeled with its unique registration number. A Remote Pilot License (RPL) is required for any commercial or professional drone use, with training, a written exam, and a flight test, and the license is typically valid for 2–3 years. For recreational use (Category 1), drones under 2 kg require no permit, while drones over 2 kg

Quantum Tech Breakthroughs, Big Bets & Bold Moves Rock the Globe (Aug 26–27, 2025)

Quantum Tech Breakthroughs, Big Bets & Bold Moves Rock the Globe (Aug 26–27, 2025)

Key Facts: Scientific Breakthroughs and Research Publications One of the week’s most significant research advances came from a team at the University of California, Riverside, which demonstrated a new approach to scaling quantum computers via modular chips. In simulations, the researchers showed that several small quantum processor chips can be linked into a single fault-tolerant system even if the connections between chips are up to 10 times noisier than the chips themselves quantumcomputingreport.com. This finding is a major step toward larger quantum machines, indicating that “we don’t have to wait for perfect hardware to scale quantum computers” because high-fidelity chips

AI Breakthroughs, Billion-Dollar Bets & Regulatory Showdowns – Aug 26–27, 2025 News Roundup

AI Research & Innovation Climate modeling revolution: Scientists at the University of Washington unveiled an AI-driven climate simulator that compresses millennia of weather into hours. Dubbed DL-ESyM, the model couples two neural networks (for atmosphere and ocean) and was trained on historical data washington.edu. The result: it can accurately simulate 1,000 years of Earth’s climate in about 12 hours on a single processor washington.edu. (By contrast, a traditional climate supercomputer needs ~90 days to do the same.) This breakthrough promises cheaper, faster long-range climate forecasts. “We are developing a tool that examines variability in our current climate to ask: Is

Santorini Drone Laws 2025: 8 Essential Rules to Avoid Huge Fines

Santorini Drone Laws 2025: 8 Essential Rules to Avoid Huge Fines

Drones are allowed in Santorini but strictly regulated under Greek and EU rules, with no tourist exception. In the Open Category, drones must weigh under 25 kg, fly below 120 m, stay in sight, and use EU class ID 0-4 or a legacy model bought before 2023. Registration is required for any drone over 250 g or with a camera, giving the operator a single EU-wide registration number via the HCAA. Commercial or advanced operations fall under the Specific or Certified categories and require insurance and HCAA approval for each flight. Before flying, you must file a flight application with
