Quite an ingenious move.

While the initiative may seem to foster and legalize what previously have been considered acts of malevolence, it also helps the government to identify and build a register of possible future trouble makers with skills.

This will get them both a great recruitment program, but it will also give them a a great monitoring tool.

While RAND must be applauded for disclosing the funding participants, they still loose severely on credibility.

They are no longer an organization which I feel confident about as an organization providing policiticians or society in general with objective research.

As such they ought to be more serious about their research objectives and their reputation, by not allowing them to become puppets in disguise.

Their credibility is down the drain.
RAND research is no longer to be trusted.

Parrot SDL is also quite interesting in this context.

Based on what findings is it stated that most people can only hold 7 digits in memory?

I wonder if there is a connection to how many digit you need to make a local phone call.

In the states I assume you can or could leave out the area code, and then needed to remember xxx-xxxx.
In Denmark as a kid and now, we need to remember 8 digits to make a phone call.

I see a correlation, but.. heck, digits for thoughts.
