if someone of you will one day invent stuff that could destroy whole industries - be sure to make it impossible to delete. blockchain and torrents are low-hanging fruits, but not the only one

"Last year, police in the Netherlands were ready to deploy a team of eagles to take down rogue drones. Now the police say they’ve stopped using the birds because training them is more expensive and complicated than they anticipated, reports Nos, as spotted by Gizmodo. The eagles wouldn’t always do what they were trained to do, and the police also doubted if the birds would perform well outside of their controlled training environment. Dutch police bought four sea eagle chicks after completing their trials last year."

Dutch police will stop using drone-hunting eagles since they weren't doing what they're told
Who could have predicted this was a bad idea?
