Or possibly they're just piqued..
After a long and tortuous trail of hacking their way to the heart of the Iranian interior, Caruthers & Simpsons joy was short-lived when they found a pile of empty vodka bottles and a rude message waiting for them.

If you aren't the hardware OS admin & don't control physical access to the hardware you can't claim it's secure.
Nord are renting server time from 3rd party server farms to host VPNs because to do it properly would cost too much in buildings, hardware & staff. Beancounters strike again.
If it takes the equivilent of 10,000 years to 'train' this robot to a 20% success then it's slow machine learning not AI. Having said that, if it can be improved to the point where retasking to any other 'one-hand problem' reaches a similar level success within a few weeks then we're well on the way to a general purpose robot that will render the need for human manual interaction with any environment optional.
As the only useful purpose of a robot hand is to manipulate the items we've designed to be used by hands (quite literally, everything) I see these robots main use in and around the home, "Robot, Make me a cup of tea, butter some scones then mow the lawn and prune the roses" or more likely "Help me out of bed, help me in/out of my stairlift, give me my medication..."
Everything outside the home environment will be better served by custom built designs as is happening now.
Just an idle thought, I believe ingesting almost anything is more harmful than putting the same amount on your skin, so GMO are in fact at least an order more dangerous than a few more radio waves in the air.
Both have risk levels that tend to zero for normal exposure levels.
A more fitting BOFH fix would be to ensure the system continued, possibly with the average being slowly nudged towards 96/97% for the improved benefits.
Did Alban get any sort of promotion for his efforts in identifying this key strategic information for management? After all, the boss was obviously not caring a jot about publishing the revised previous numbers merely looking for a patsy for when the numbers 'go bad' in future.
The dollar has value because it is trusted to be reasonably stable and once issued dollars are 'out there' for anyone to use, the Iraq economy post 2003 ran almost exclusively on printed dollars flown in by the billion.
Opinions as to the capability/motives of the current personalities heading (always temporarily) the different US institutions that provide policy, policy execution, oversight & restraint doesn't overly affect the dollar value because the system is seen to work.
Trusting the US Gov. to keep it that way is far easier than trusting one individual with majority sharholding (Zuk) in one company to do the same.
It's the power of competition, with thousands of financial institutions across the planet any one that gets a reputation for abusing their position or breaking rules will see the client base step over to another provider or be forced to shutdown.
Does anyone think FB wants to work in that environment, or would they eliminate the competition (and partners) by doing all this for free (or even at a loss) via ad flinging.
VISA/Mastercard know that their advantage lies in their global acceptance, if they help FB to become a global financial system providing the currency what do they do when virtual FaceCard appears (ignoring all the various national financial rules).
It's in nobody but FBs interest for this currency to happen and the overnight news of the others jumping ship seems to confirm this.
I'd go with 100% yes and frankly even if you hit it with a modern jet it would cause less damage than a bird strike.
The flightglobal site says it can travel around 1000km per day, that gives it a cruise speed about 40km/h, at its operating height I'd think anything more than slight buffeting will cause it to drop out of the sky as it overstresses the frame.
Looking at the pictures it seems clingfilm is being used as the aerodynamic surface covering. If you tried to make anything substantially more robust than this you'd soon be looking at a design not unlike a U2.
From the military PoV, $4.1m for a 100 days of use makes these throw-away technology.
I can recommend the HP4100, (mine is a 18year old dn model)
There is a market selling refurbs and all the bits are available from HP & others.
avoid the jetdirect-610n interface, they had a high failure rate, get a 620n instead.
The EU majority votes have been qualified majority since 2014 with the largest six (by population) holding about two thirds, (Germany, France, UK, Italy, Spain, Poland). All of the other small countries are just along for the ride now, the redistribution of the UK vote will leave the other five with only a slightly lower %.
The big exception is for international treaties which still requires unanimous agreement and hence the very long negotiations for any trade agreement.
Militaries get the kit that they need to overcome/deter another nation state, Plod gets the kit they need to overcome/deter the public from stepping too far out of line.
You've just described a bunker - One simple law gets passed and plod can turn up with an laser guided inert 1 tonne 'door knocker' dropped from a great height without prior notice.
Because that's just the way nature works, we've only developed ethics and morals to counterbalance the immediate self interest motive.
The path that this technology will take is fairly straightforward, tetraplegics can now walk, more complex nerve functions will follow. The end position will be that as long as the brain itself can be sustained we will be able to build hardware or grow body parts to replace everything else.
How long can we sustain a brain, will we find a way to replace neurons & their links insitu?
