For anyone who has seen played "spot the Fed" at DEFCON, blending in is clearly a challenge. (E.g. Most of the hackers there don't have neck muscles that indicate their owners can bench 300+ pounds)

Without debating whether or not it's a good thing, it's inarguable that a healthy portion of the apps that are popular worldwide (outside China) are run by companies headquartered in the US: Facebook, WhatsApp, YouTube, Google, Tw

I found that the IRIS usually lost power at ~30% battery charge (for an array of official LiPos, fully charged with official charger and quite fresh).
