Not even experts can explain why planes stay in the air
At this point in the history of flight, it shouldn't be that hard for scientists to say what keeps birds — and aircraft — airborne. But the question remains puzzling.

MIT Technology Review: Hackers linked to Iran have been trying to crack the US grid for ages, a report says


Hackers linked to Iran have been trying to crack the US grid for ages, a report says
The news: A hacking group called Magnallium, which is sponsored by Iran's government, has been trying to get access to American electric utilities for at least a year, according to newly-released analysis by security firm Dragos. The hackers have been trying to guess passwords for hundreds of accounts linked to US electric utilities, plus oil and gas firms, a technique known as "password-spraying." It chimes with findings from Microsoft, which revealed it had seen a similar campaign in November.

Geer

Realpolitik
means, in the words of British historian E. H. Carr, that what is
successful is right and what is unsuccessful is wrong, that there
is no moral dimension in how the world is, and that attempting to
govern based on principles cannot succeed. Realpolitik is at once
atheistic and anti-utopian.
