Or, how about a plastic wedge shape to push stuff to the side, somewhat like choo-choo-train* cow-catchers. Then you don't need bump sensors, except maybe the tip.
I guess we have very different ideas of what "lost" means. Let's rest that one.
There is no shortage of ballsy zealots in the world. Most just don't get the resources they want to proceed with their hair-brained plans, or die trying and become merely a footnote in history.
Spain just happened to be really eager to find new routes to India because wars and politics were blocking their usual lucrative routes and they missed the money badly enough to gamble some.
It's quite possible it was BOTH planned and enlarged by video anger. The main perp admitted to interviewers he was upset by the video. There is a good chance the attack party was enlarged and enraged due to the video even if it started as merely a "plan".
Without reverse engineering neurons, we may never really know how big a part the video played.
Hillary did change her account of the situation over time, but she said it's because the intelligence changed.
For example, a social media message from a group that claimed responsibility turned out to be hoax. I haven't seen clear evidence that she contradicted the actual intelligence handed to her. If you have that evidence, bring it!
She should have put more "disclaimer" words in her statements in my opinion, like "probably" or "probably not", but that's a relatively minor point.
There are bigger issues to focus on; GOP is drama-queening Benghazi.
the demonstration story was a lie
There's a well-known press photo of an (alleged) attacker waving an AK47 in front of the burning compound. Terrorists typically don't "dance" like that.
He made some faulty calculations that with a bit more research or consultation would have been caught. He'd then realize a (real) trip to India would be beyond the capabilities of the ships of the time and give up the project. Other countries rejected his proposal for a reason. It's like pain-killer addicts who keep doctor-shopping until they find a clueless or corrupt doctor to give them more pills.
He did NOT say, "Hmmm, I wonder what's out there", he said, "I'm going to India to make a fortune trading." He was no Carl Sagan.
It was a lucky accident. I'll give him some points for bravery, but stupidity also helped cause the accident. Jar Jar was brave also.
She's probably under two big constraints: secrecy rules and legal risk. Explanations she gives could be used against her in court. Being the GOP has been tenacious about this investigation, she's probably hesitant to inadvertently give them more fuel to burn.
One thing I notice about her style is that in general she rarely uses "disclaimer" words like "mostly", "probably", "as best I remember", etc.
She's been accused of being overly "lawyerly" such that she may compensate by being more direct to project a bold and decisive image.
But it seems to backfire on her, such the Benghazi statements made soon after the attacks. When the intel of the time suggested it was probably planned, she should have used the word "probably" or similar for CYA instead of saying "it was planned". GOP runs that in ads over and over.
If the organization/enterprise prefers a developer because he/she charges less though he/she is incompetent, then blame the organization, not the worker.
Most organizations are dysfunctional in IT because IT is not their core product/service and/or they are focused on the short-term because stock-holders want short-term returns. That's just the way it is. Dilbert is Real.
When I do a good job, it's because I take personal pride in it, not because I expect the organization to know or care.
I suspect outsourced code is crappier because orgs that outsource view programming like brick-laying: X-symbols-per-minute, and thus "manage" it that way with no eye on the longer term.
Clueless-in = Garbage-out
Such managers get promoted or change jobs, and some other poor shlub will get stuck managing the pasta.
On the up-side, garbage code means more total coding jobs. On the downside, such maintenance coders are digital sewer workers.
Finally, after a couple of month (depends on your employer or customer) you know 80-90% of all nastiness of the new platform, tooling and language(s). Therefore, the number of show stoppers become seldom.
I always find new stumpers that take a bunch of fiddling. For example, every time Microsoft releases a new browser, bunches of applications often don't work right on it. It's not just me, also other teams and vendor products.
Over-HTTP-GUI needs a big fat juicy rethink. We are doing it wrong and wasting perhaps hundreds of billions of dollars world-wide forcing a square peg into a round hole.
If India allowed a reverse visa, B1H, then unemployed Americans could go to India to work on all the mundane and legacy projects that their young coding population turns down.
Japan has shown that protectionism creates jobs, even if it means stuff is a bit more expensive. Do you want jobs or stuff for your nation's population?

* That's an official technical term, trust me
We have no evidence here that the bot is more likely to step on somebody's foot than say Paul Blart.
I got old worn-out eyes; I don't see the difference and don't fricken care.
I only care when I want to zoom into Natalie Portman's [censored], but don't want to pay extra for that.

Do you have evidence of this? If such evidence exists, why didn't the intense GOP bring it up in the 11 hour hearing?

They are not comments, they are Perl.
Science cannot tell you what to do. At best, it can only tell you the consequences.

Math is just a notation to encode rules and make sure those rules are applied properly and consistently for a given use or topic.
Whether the "rules" have any basis in reality is another matter altogether. People can and do make fake universes (or subsets of) in math.
What kind of dumbass criminal names a kiddy-porn site "PlayPen"? Call it say "Windows10" or "Zune", then no cop will touch it.
If you think you are in India when in fact you're almost opposite of India, you ARE lost. (I wonder if W is related, he invaded the wrong country.)
Chris was a lucky screw-up, Jar-Jar style. My religious mom says Chris was "divinely guided": Christian Midi-chlorians?
I can see the confusion: in the UK, Daleks great customers.
Hypocrite.
"Stagnant" or not, they have some of the lowest unemployment rates of any industrialized nation.
If India allowed a reverse visa, B1H, then unemployed Americans could go to India to work on all the mundane and legacy projects that their young coding population turns down.
Ironically, GOP used Obama's alleged excess snooping to help grow their majority. The "H" word comes to mind, and I don't mean Mrs. Clinton.
Meta-data, gotta catch 'em all!
Japan has shown that protectionism creates jobs, even if it means stuff is a bit more expensive. Do you want jobs or stuff for your nation's population?
We Americans have to fuck faster and harder to catch up. Quick, open-source porn!
...gotta love capitalism.
I know I know, some things are counter-intuitive, but some counter-intuitive things strike most human beings as really odd.
