This is one of the things that scares me the most.

I don't know of any institution that announces that it has gotten hacked.

A few years ago, my neighbor banked with BofA and her bank account went to negative. (After having a fairly large deposit in it, her words.) She said that her BofA in Florida had gotten hacked and 100,000's of dollars had just disappeared. She evenutally got her money back courtesy of the bank, but it took several months.

Banks rarely go after the hackers for fear of the publicity, they just try and seal the leak and replace the money. (If you are a hacker, go after the banks!) That should scare you more as much as the military getting hacked. The world money supply if shaky enough all ready.

60 minutes did an episode recently on cyberwarfare. Scared the crap out of me.

China has apparently implanted programs into our power grids that are just sitting there and could potentially shut down the grid on the entire west coast...

one dude stole the names and SSNs of thousands of people in VA from a state medical database. Hacked the system and changed the password to his own. Asked for $10MM for the new password or he'd start selling the SSNs. VA claimed they "recovered" the data but when asked if they paid the $10MM "We cant comment on that". Hmmm....:rolleyes:

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
