    The coordinated strike had an immediate impact. Millions of people in Dubai and Abu Dhabi woke up on Monday unable to pay for a taxi, order a food delivery or check their bank balance on their mobile apps.

    I wouldn’t have thought that we might see something like Neuromancers operation “Screaming Fist” in next couple of years…

    I see Amazon repurposing its delivery drones, or entering the same-day-air-defence-delivery (which would be splendid for Ukraine, too).
