Another excellent technique to protect critical systems is called defense in depth. It calls for designing systems with multiple layers of defense, each of which will ideally require entirely different attack strategies to penetrate it. This means that an attacker would need to find and exploit many different vulnerabilities before a defender can fix any of them. Done right, it allows a relatively weak defender to stave off a much more well-resourced attacker.
AI Snake Oil

Every one of the Samskaras that you’ve stored is still there. Everything that did not make it through you, from the time you were a baby all the way to this moment, is still inside of you. It is these impressions, these Samskaras, that encrust the valve of the spiritual heart. That encrustation builds up and restricts the energy flow.

To me it looked as though, with the 2012 car, they had simply tried to be different but not necessarily for good engineering reasons. Then, for 2013, they just tried to copy various features from along the pit lane: the front end of a Red Bull mated to the middle of a Renault to the back of a Ferrari – a camel. Needless to say, it ran badly. The problem was that they kept changing it without ever fully understanding what they actually had. Darwin was not wrong. Evolution is often the key once the spark of a good direction has been set.
