When taken with that attitude, defense in depth reeks of security by obscurity. Not saying it doesn't work, not saying it isn't the most practical solution available, just that piling up six layers of 99.9% secure does not really give 99.9999999999999999% security - when human factors come into play.
Build systems with smaller, simpler, better vetted (older) OSs, or perhaps no OS layer at all - just a collection of certified software components.
It's not fast, nor cheap, but it can be secure. If you want it to interact with the latest whiz-bang hardware/software from the insecure commercial world, and you want development to proceed on any reasonable sort of timetable, you may need to accept some level of insecurity to do that.
There's an active drone development community in Iran, I wouldn't doubt that they were trying to bring the drone down with a GPS hack and that the drone did indeed go down. I also wouldn't be surprised if there was zero causal relationship between the two coincidental events.
The armed police and paranoid security have been going on at LHR for quite some time before the 9/11 events, I think Lockerbie was all it took to put them on edge permanently.
I'm glad people think like you, that's why the early 2000s BMW7s and big Mercedes are so affordable now. We've driven it 14,000 miles so far (32% of what the previous owners had driven), and our maintenance costs to-date are $4.50 to replace a cracked washer fluid cap. Previous owners depreciated more than $1.54 per mile, if it blows up tomorrow and we break even on the towing fee and recycling value we've depreciated $0.86 per mile.
In the meantime, it's a great car to drive. $0.14 per mile for gas, if we make it another 16,000 miles without a serious repair, our cost per mile will be down to 0.55, which the IRS tells us is "average" - even if we have a $5K repair every 12,000 miles after that, we're still at $0.55/mile operating costs - though if I wanted such a vehicle as that, I'd buy an old Jaguar.
Yeah, just like tobacco. Damn shame all that hurt comin' down on honest hardworkin' folk like the Gores, and look at what it done to 'em, had to give up tobacco farmin' and go into politics and eco-scare-mongering.
Oh, they're far more sophisticated than killing you outright - today they addict you to foods that give you health problems, health problems that "industry" can treat, not cure, for a price.
While the traditional "Hi, I'm here to inspect your lab (surprise!!!)" approach does have some merit, in this case I think that more effective regulation could come from sending test samples to multiple competing labs and checking for agreement. Some of these test samples could be "announced" but, of course more effective regulation would come from "stealth" samples that look like regular daily work. This is the kind of result that should be collected, investigated to explain discrepancies, and published for the public to know so the "free market" might actually have some meaningful information to make its selections with.
Force the issue in Congress, set up RoboCalling centers overseas in non-extradition countries and blast anyone with any kind of connection to lawmakers with a sustained "campaign message" that RoboCalling should be banned. Hit their personal cell phones, hit their e-mail accounts, spoof addresses to appear like they're coming from their home district. You know, all the things that RoboCallers do already.
So, 4K - and what's the compression factor? Anyway, 4K is only 4x as many pixels as 1080p... If a movie is 2 hours long, we're currently reading/recording it at 120x real-time. Will the resolution/data rates be increasing 120x any time soon? Maybe for full volumetric high res 3D data sets... but not this crappy stereo-vision stuff they're selling as 3D now.
The main robocall we get is from our county school district, but that's because we let them.
The other 60% of robocalls are annoying as f___ sales idiots who couldn't manage to close a sale even if we were interested in their offering. Any endeavor that annoys 10,000 people for every one that might be interested needs to stop. Of course, that would attack television advertising at its core, so I suppose that's a losing battle.
Now is the time when we need to demand more citizen/voter accountability for the FCC from our elected representatives... a government agency declaring that the government is above the law for something as non-critical to government function as RoboCalling? It's time for some unreasonable response...
The major difference for me between government and corporate inefficiency is that we _usually_ have to option to not deal with an inefficient corporation. Of course, government has told me several times "if you can't get a job here, move", so I suppose we also have the option of changing countries if we can find one with a government we like better?/sarc
The problem with the robot as a security guard is that it is much more predictable than a human patrol - even if it does random walks, etc. you still know that it's not going to pull a.357 on you and plant a.22 in your hand after you're capped.
The whole field is full of "too expensive to do good science, but let's publish anyway." Magnet time runs $500/hr, too expensive to get an adequate number of subjects, or trials with a given subject, fMRI data is a time series of complex volumes - up until recently it was "too expensive" to store 1-2GB of data per subject-trial, but, but, it's just so cool, we wanted to share (and get our name on a publication.)
Whenever I've read an fMRI "research" paper, it seems like the f should be standing for "full of ____", because the sample sizes are laughably small, the data are fuzzy and interpreted with a lot of handwaving, and the correlation between oxygen uptake and the fMRI signal itself is very weak, finally somebody has gotten around to calling BS on the whole field.
As you say, depends on the model almost as much as the manufacturer. The truck is a Dodge RAM 1500, 17 years and 140,000 miles later - it's doing pretty well for itself. The Caliber was indeed a piece of junk, tolerable until around 100K miles, but never delivered on promised fuel mileage, underpowered & small for 4 people + stuff. It replaced a Sebring Convertible, which had 2 redeeming factors: 6 cylinders and convertible with 4 seats. The main problem with the Sebring, for us, was that it was a boat - hard to maneuver in our grocery store parking lot. It was also getting up in years and the transverse mount FWD V6 layout (whether Dodge Sebring, Ford Taurus, or any number of others who have done it), means that changing the rear 3 spark plugs is an ordeal, changing the front struts (shock absorbers) requires more labor expense than the vehicle is worth, and at the engine-age that car had reached it was starting to burn oil. Still, no complaints, $1000/yr depreciation isn't bad on any car - that was our rate, the original owner depreciated $4K/year before he sold it to us.
We've rented a number of GMs, lots of Impalas, a few Malibus, etc. they all are fine to rent, but I get a strong feeling I wouldn't want to own one. Besides being poor in the handling department, the gadget fest seems doomed to early failure, and other than one $45K leather Malibu, the interior trim seems like it will look and feel old within 2 years.
Personally, I'd like to have the time to restore something late '60s vintage, update with EFI and otherwise keep it simple. I do want headrests, collapsible steering column, seat belts, those things that came in in the late '60s safety department, but air bags don't really increase my feeling of safety - regardless of what the statistics say - especially in my owned-since-new '91 that is fully functional, except for the airbag circuitry.
Will it cast to a miracast supported device like a Roku or only to a chromecast supported device? My Nexus 6P will only cast to the latter when it comes out of the box. You have to root the phone to restore the miracast functionality.
I'm having the same experience with Nexus 5x - very ChromeCastCentric, disappointing, really - it only took them 10 years to turn openly evil.
Some used cars devalue, some don't. 1 year and 20K miles after I bought my Mazda Miata, it was worth more than when I bought it new. Similarly, we were looking at Hyundai Sonatas/Elantras recently and used with 20K miles, they are holding 95% of their new price. Other models drop like a stone - it depends.
I bought a new car in 1991 for $14K when my (solo) household income was $30K.
We bought a new truck in 1999 for $21K when our combined household income was ~$100K
In 2007 we picked up a used Sebring Convertible for $3K - drove it until 2010 when we traded it in for virtually nothing.
In 2010 we picked up a year old Dodge Caliber for $12,500 - drove it until 2016.
In 2016 we sold the Caliber for $1K and bought a 2002 Mercedes S430 with 44,000 miles for $12K.
Still have the 1991 and 1999 new vehicles, with 130Kish miles one each, still in good condition - but we drive the 430 most of the time, great car, sold for $80K new, who would pay that? For that matter, who would pay 3x as much for a new piece of junk that will wear out just as fast?

I've got a 64MB SD card here just waiting for... me to care enough to chuck it.
I love the speed comparison, too...
For comparison, a UHS-1 microSD card would take 50 seconds to do the same.
How about class 10, or some of the "Extreme" microSD cards out there?
