The Kurds already live in the area. And have proved themselves capable of operating an effective, fairly democratic state for many years. The Israelis had not lived there for centuries. An the Palestinians have proven themselves incapable of anything.
So your even your car size satellite will eventually end up as billion of particles after a few good high speed collisions.
The surface area of a cube 1m^3 is 6m^2. But if that is smashed into 10^9 mm sized cubes, the area becomes 6000m^2. Smash it into micron sized bits and you might well have an effect on global warming.
So no need to cut back on coal. Just launch lots of satellites. Makes about as much sense as any other argument in that space.
A really big drone (not consumer) might take out an engine. But even taking out both engines should not crash the plane if the pilots can competently glide back.
Now, a Canada goose with an incompetent pilot is a different matter. But they do not shut down airports for many hours every time a sparrow is seen flying near by.
This is almost certainly hyped up nonsense. A complete overreaction from incompetent bureaucrats.
Oracle is not much if any faster than Postgresql. And Hsqldb is much, much faster than both of them. For small to medium applications either Postgresql or the free version of Oracle is fine.
But big enterprise stuff is tricky to get right. I'm not saying that Oracle is better, but it is a lot more than just that database you use for testing, nor the one that your 10 person company stores its data on. And Oracle has some fancy stuff, like being able to find out the results of a query if it had been run yesterday.
One thing that is true about Oracle is that you need to employ a full time, competent and expensive Oracle DBA that has been working with it non-stop for years. The manuals are awful, the config is complex and arcane. It used to take an expert a week just to install a basic system, they fixed that but the moment you do anything tricky it becomes very difficult. And for enterprise, you want to know that your backups are really working properly. A Bank, for example, cannot afford to loose any transactions at all.
I once tried to get simple master/slave replication working on Oracle. Docs were worthless, but fortunately a non-Oracle person had written a cheat sheet. Got it going, but I certainly would not bet my pension it having been set up 100% reliably.
As to moving to AWS, that would be a Courageous decision.
Some very crude 8086 CPU with 16K of RAM is incapable of supporting viruses. And even though the code might be bad, it is small enough that someone understood it. And minimal communication with external world, 40 years ago is pre internet for most things.
The problem starts when they upgrade to modern operating systems. And control it all from Windows desktops. Nobody really understands how they work. Everything is interconnected. And it is only a matter of time before some nasty manages to remotely press "the button".
Provided that you do not actually send them to the server and use them properly.
Secure Remote Passwords is totally secure from MIM attacks, as wall as being totally secure against bad CAs. It uses the password to generate the shared secret.
And due to some extreme cleverness in the algorithm, is even secure against weak passwords.
So why don't we use it! Because it would put most of the security industry out of business? Or pure ignorance.
That is what the Fukashima was all about. Forget about the millions that might drown, focus on the fact that some deadly radiation could escape that kills as many as dozens of people.
Provided... you do not use the C programming language.
Java has done this for a long time. Pointers only point to things that are 8 byte aligned. And you do not do pointer arithmetic just to parse a String.
She carelessly changed her password, got locked permanently out of her phone, never bothered backing up, didn't know most of her other passwords, and was not in a fit state for human company.
The Apple staff smiled, jollied her along, and she left only moderately unhappy about loosing everything. They had the patience of a saint.
Any grumpy Slash Dot reader would have taken a different line, and not been successful selling to the mass public.

It may well be possible to detect certain cancers by clever analysis of DNA in the blood. But the changes in DNA are subtle and variable. Just being able to mix it with gold particles and it turn blue sounds like nonsense.
I have no doubt that some thing was discovered, and it may even relate to cancer, but this summary sound like it has been totally mushed by journalists.
Indonesian does not have words for Brother vs Sister, but it does have words for Older Sibling and Yongger Sibbling. So how do you translate that? For a machine, I would do it literally, so the reader can make sense of it. The last thing I want is alternate Brother / Sister which not only looses the meaning but is downright confusing if they are referring to the same individual.
It is about short term frequency and phase stabilization. It was a once of opportunity for a relatively small battery to do some good. And it was felt that if anyone tried to build a second battery to do the same the price for the stabilization would drop to the point that it would not be economical, and so that will not be done.
There are some plans in SA to store energy, by pumping sea water up to some old desert mines. Unclear whether they will go ahead.
And the big missed opportunity for South Australia is to store nuclear waste in the middle of nowhere on the Eyre peninsular. Could power their economy for decades. And SA already has lots of nuclear underground -- natural uranium deposits. Anyway, the politics of those words "Nuclear" and "Waste" were too much.
Incidentally, the geothermal plants that might be built there are actually nuclear powered. Not, like most geothermal, by being near the mantle, but rather being on top of a large, natural Uranium deposit.
Would seem fair if both taxi and uber drivers got minimum wage. Usually, Taxi drivers (vs. owners) get skrewed worse than Uber ones, which is why they end up driving Uber.
Admitting to a security breach is rather embarrassing.
Most users will disregard an email from email-mariot.com as spam. And so the Mariot can fulfil their legal responsibility to inform users without actually informing users.
Very clever. (More likely very stupid, but a fortuitous idiocy.)
And there is no way for users to validate a domain name and know where to enter a credit card number. How can you tell that sIashdot.com is not slashdot.com?! The padlock is meaningless. Sending passwords over the net is the real idiocy. There is a solution, Secure Remote Passwords, but nobody uses it. So don't blame users for our stupidity.
If there ends up being only one main source for all vendors then HTML will be defined by whatever the code does rather than by any standards process. And then it will be very difficult to move on if Chromium goes bad. Which means that there will be no incentive to make Chromium good.

There is no comparison to Palestine.

Your comment is nonsense.
If had a stack of essays to mark at the end of a long day would you read them to the end? Or just skip to the conclusion.
How do you define an idea?
Defining sentences is easy and accurate. Just count the full stops.
Bear in mind that most teachers are not smart. My kids stick to the rules, why risk a bad mark?

That preprocessing approach comes from the ancient DB2/Cobol days.
The idea was that the preprocessor could optimize the queries at compile time.
Not done any more. But if you inline your queries with it you should be relatively free from SQL injection attacks.

We should be demanding source code for all of our telecom gear, regardless of where it is made. And to be able to build from that source.
Nobody will be understand the Chinese source, but at least it makes it possible to prove hacks after they have been found.
The Damore incident showed Pichai was incompetent as well as arrogant. A dangerous mix.
When it sets. Ca(OH)2 + CO2 -> CaCO(OH)2, back to Calcium Carbonate.

Not if you use Secure Remote Password.

(It does require browser support, not JavaScript that just promises not to send the password over.)
As a tool to do what the Party dictates.
But you are right. It is probably inconceivable that a Canadian court could be independent of the Canadian government. Simply does not compute.

That is a long time to keep someone on spec.
It should be something like 7 days. If there is not enough evidence to extradite then the arrest warrant should never have been issued.
Within civilized countries there are definite limits on how long Police can hold someone without charge, and they are nothing like 45 days!

But then you go to the beach, have a swim with the fob in your pocket, and you stay at the beach because the fob stopped working.
That is why I leave the electronics in the car and only carry the physical key (on a hybrid key/fob system).
