NathanielBaking··on Iranian attack drone found to contain parts from more than a dozen US companies
Looking for better information on exactly what components were on the board I found these references:

contains many references to pictures and such. https://isis-online.org/isis-reports/detail/iranian-drones-i...

Most remarkably https://twitter.com/saintjavelin/status/1577619774292606976

I think to understand the problem you need to see a list of components that are being used but also to understand that substitution is relatively easy in today's world of cross platform embedded systems. I have ordered many of these boards from places like DigiKey and Mouser. Here is on example:

Many of these boards are capable of providing the flight control systems for these drones.

NathanielBaking··on Why do bees die when they sting you?
Good point. I took a chance with my Great Courses only knowledge of game theory.

Another point people are pointing out is that bees don't usually die after stinging other bee. Other bees are the easiest vectors for the infections I have had to deal with. I wonder what evolutionary advantage of not returning to the hive grants when a bee stings a larger animal (mammal, bird, etc).

NathanielBaking··on Why do bees die when they sting you?
As a beekeeper for several years I have posited that bees have evolved to die after stinging because the act of stinging can cause pathogens from the creature being stung to adhere to the stinging bee. This would create an easy vector into the hive where it would then spread eventually infecting the queen. It would be interesting if someone with some game theory experience could model this behavior.
