Actually... we welcome you here! Have a nice stay.

I can't be sure, but I think that there's an error on the 5th photo: the column in the background, between his right temple and his right ear should also be processed.

Cuban here (and actually living in Cuba, if that's even important or relevant.) This whole thing was puzzling for me from the get go, as I never thought our government could do something like this. If they wanted to freeze back relations, it would be simpler to just say "F* off!" (and believe me, they can dream up a thousand somewhat-plausible explanations for that decision.)

It doesn't make sense from an Intelligence o Intelligence Gathering point of view. They have cheaper and better ways (like... actual people?), so I don't think that this wasn't some kind of (Cuban) intelligence equipment malfunction. Plus, from the reports it seems that the presumed attacks were taking place on diplomatic personnel residences and hotel rooms. In that environment the attackers do not have much control: what if there's an asset there? what if there's a child?

But what really makes me to think that this was not a Cuban operation or attack, is that Canadian personnel were also reported to be affected. That's a big huge no-no.

Since this whole thing was interesting for me, I have asked several people on their opinions. People from all walks of life and political leanings. Most of them just told me that they did not think it was Cuban behind the attacks, if there were attacks at all. The more cautious just waved off with "We need more information." Not one person, no matter where they stand, thinks we actually did this.

(Sorry for my English.)

At my organization we have several Java-based services (some of them can even qualify as a form of microservices, if you squint your eyes). We have found that when you have very good developers and you write almost to the letter of the spec, Java can easily provide a stable base (which is probably true of any language/runtime/library).

However, we've been eager to try Go in several places. Believe it or not, what has held us back is the lack of a solid LDAP library. We could/should scratch our own itch and be done with it, we lack the time... still so many things to do! In the mean time, for us, Java support for LDAP is nothing short of stellar; and has been for years.

How about Darwin Streaming Server?

Full read/write access to a directory via LDAP. I was about to start a microservice where I work using Go, but had to use Java. Bummer...

EDIT: a pure Go-based LDAP library is what I meant. I know there's a couple on GitHub but they seem to be abandoned. Plus, there's another one providing bindings to the OpenLDAP libraries.
