Remember the woman who proved that Apple consistently slows down sold iPhones with "updates" right before the launch date of a new model? [0]

Apple is in the business of selling (overpriced/overengineered) hardware. Their tactics make that very clear.

The only problem with that is that there is no real competition in mobile phones anymore, it's just a giant duopoly. Sure, you can switch to Google/Android, which as the giant ad company (in other words: personal data hover/mass surveillance company) is just as bad.

My only hope is for Ubuntu to make the right moves soon.

Please, cry me a river. Of course you need laws to deal with obnoxious people who live in close proximity to you. There are wars over fences, but the law handles that pretty well now.

The thing stopping your horrible neighbour from making your life painful is that they must have evidence of your wrongdoing. If you "grill up some food once in a while" and smoke from your grill goes into their property, then what's to stop them from deliberately doing the same to you?
First time I tried to do anything with Maya it was hard as hell. Then it get easier and easier and... then I was able to move to 3D Studio, or XSI, or even Softimage 3D (maybe not the deepest nurbs setting ok). They mostly all work the same, except for some outliers (because they go another direction, like in ZBrush, if it can even be compared), and after all that, you have Blender. It's not just strange : it's often backward, borderline, annoying.

This is just the beginning.

High prices and resale values have spawned a substantial and apparently growing 3rd party repair and refurbishment market for Apple mobile devices. Beyond the dodgy corner unlock shops, multiple national chains have sprung up over the last 2 years where I live that advertise heavily on broadcast TV.

Apple clearly sees this as money left on the table and they're concerned about the emergence of a comprehensive parallel supply chain for repair parts. Bricking end-user devices is one of the few levers they've got to try and shut down this industry, since there's no way to effectively identify and pursue the upstream suppliers in mainland China.

Sucks for the users, though. I wonder if Apple will still be selling devices at all in 5 years, or if they'll only rent them out for €25/$25/£25 per month. Ultimately that'll probably be the only way to get the control they want.

The scenario they're protecting against appears (to me) to be a bad actor changing the hardware. If the Touch ID sensor is bad, and you propose falling back to a PIN, who's to say the digitizer isn't compromised too and is recording touches?

Sounds a bit like a downgrade attack if they didn't fail fast and hard at the earliest opportunity.

You DO have the right to repair your iPhone; it just has to be done by an official Apple repair centre.

I completely understand the downsides of Apple's particular approach here, and totally get why people want the right to use 3rd party repair services. I've used them myself in the past to save (a lot of) money.

But considering just how much of my life, financial and otherwise, is on my phone, I'm actually very glad that Apple has erred on the side of obsessive security!

Fedora 23 minimal image in docker: 43MB in archive.

With tons of packages available (with patches and live maintainers). With formal stabilization process. With well tested package management system (with hundreds of bug fixes in 20 years of use). Which can be used as host and as container (so you will need to learn well and support just one OS). With Systemd, which handles daemons well. With well supported LTS version (RHEL/CentOS). With option for paid support. With glibc, which is much faster and feature-richer than musl.

Why I should use Alpine, which cannot even handle versioned dependencies between packages? Literally, I cannot tell that package A needs package B >= 3.x or package C < 2.x, which causes serious troubles in complex systems.

But that's not the same definition as the word he used. Fire/flame retardant basically means "fire delayer" Run that through the original sentence and it becomes nonsensical: "It's totally 'delayed' that a functioning phone is bricked by an update".
The stated rationale is that it's reasonable for a security-critical device to self-destruct if it thinks it may have been tampered with. Unfortunately this is a phone which costs a lot of money and has much of the user's life stored on it. I wouldn't be surprised to see Apple sued over this; I don't know what the interaction of the Sale of Goods Act and remote-bricking is.

I was thinking along similar lines recently when someone sent me an email to an old PGP key - I was able to dig up the key, but had long since forgotten the password. Do you want your computer security system to fail-open (leaking your stuff and potentially exposing you to fraud) or fail-closed (losing data which may be irreplaceable and of emotional significance)?. It's not obvious. But if you store your photos on your phone, you should probably back them up to the cloud - and to a different system that is not under the same account, either locally or another cloud.
User-friendly crypto may be possible, but user-friendly key management is a total nightmare.

> Call it what it actually is: short sighted, greedy, foolish, etc. Don't use a word that puts down people with disabilities.

No. Language is a liging thing and the meaning of a word can change overtime.

"Greedy" is not the word that applies in this case. Nor is "short sighted". This is a retarted and dangerous behavior, and you should not be afraid to call it for what it is.

See above example with the car and try to imaging is the following happened: you have to drive immediately to a hospital and your car doesn't start because your tire was changed by a non-authorized service.

"Greedy" and "short sighted" are not the words that come in mind. It's a trully retarted and dangerous decision, initially driven by greed (because let's make computers like black boxes, no-one can open it, no-one can mess with it).

> Would you have the same qualms if the AI's source were open and the public voted on which pull requests to accept?

I interpreted @mtgx's statement as referring to the information that would be input into the IA. Namely that if presidents are getting bad advice from advisors already, replacing the president with an AI might not improve things, if the same bad advice is still being fed in.
It's worth noting that there were no appropriate channels, though. People who tried those in order to address illegal NSA programs either got ignored or had their life ruined (see Thomas Drake). Snowden took the only possible course of action to address this. That the only remaining channel was illegal, is part of the problem.

When it comes to AI, source is only part of the system. The trained model would be a black box. We don't fully understand why some NNs work - so something of this complexity can't simply be cracked open and vetted accurately.
I like this solution the most. Some questions on @wacnt (like this one) can't be answered because Wolfram Alpha's NLP fails to recognize the algorithm implicit in the question, but if it was able to translate the problem statement into a machine-readable form, this would be very close to it.

Edit: Some background on @wacnt: https://docs.google.com/document/d/17me2A-SG5Z0Mr9Xd-a1kT1HQ...
The difference is that with microcontrollers, what you see is what you get. The API is defined by the hardware, and most of the time you're just poking numbers into registers. There's nowhere else to go.

With web programming a lot of the difficulty is self-inflicted by the industry. To get a web page up you need to know at least two different abstractions (HTML and CSS) which aren't clean or well-designed and have more warts than a skin care clinic.

Then, to fix their limitations you need to use js.

Then, because there's a lot of repetition in web dev, you have to use a handful of js frameworks, which currently outnumber the stars in the universe, and each has a production half-life of around six months.

And then there's the server side.

And if you get all of that working you have to run at scale, with adequate security.

And can we have it in green and make the logo bigger?

So of course it's hard. It's like being trapped in a novel by Kafka written in XML.

Well, regarding hardware and UI styles you actually have a lot of choices on the Android side.

Simple anomaly detection for metrics with a weekly pattern
If I understand this correctly (not an iphone person), the touch ID sensor is just a fingerprint scanner?

As a standalone measure, biometrics make a shitty password substitute because you can't change a finger print if it's compromised, so shouldn't the iphone be secured on the premise that the finger print scanner is already compromised, hence losing it should not qualify as a downgrade attack?
Judicial combat between a man and a dog in 1361
Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I understand this is done to protect the customers from tampered with Touch ID sensors.

It may be overly paranoid but I can at least understand the motivation behind this. Changing the display also involves disconnecting the Touch ID sensor so technically a malicious person might have done something that exposes the user of the device in some way.

Statement from an Apple spokeswoman:

“We protect fingerprint data using a secure enclave, which is uniquely paired to the touch ID sensor. When iPhone is serviced by an authorised Apple service provider or Apple retail store for changes that affect the touch ID sensor, the pairing is re-validated. This check ensures the device and the iOS features related to touch ID remain secure. Without this unique pairing, a malicious touch ID sensor could be substituted, thereby gaining access to the secure enclave. When iOS detects that the pairing fails, touch ID, including Apple Pay, is disabled so the device remains secure.”

With my cynical hat on I can only assume that it would be more equitable, but the big music labels wouldn't sign on to that deal with Spotify initially as it was worse for the big labels (at a cost to smaller indies).

With no data to back it up I'd assume the commercial pop music it more likely to be played by free/high listen paid accounts (kids/gyms/cafes etc), while paid accounts with small play numbers are more likely to be listening to indies (think stereotypical early adopters and HN readers). The current system benefits the labels with big commercial high volume pop music.
Apparently, YOU don't have the right to repair your own iPhone then, only an official Apple repair centre does. You mean: You have the right to pay an official Apple repair center, and nobody else, to repair your iPhone.

This is the very definition of a non-issue. Yes, people ask weird questions to virtual assistants, but that's because they are virtual. It's literally victimless, just like shooting someone in a FPS hurts no one.
Your statement could indicate a range of opinions ranging from ones I agree with to those that are merely a fig-leaf for blatant racism.

Cool!

And thanks for being up front about "privacy NOT guaranteed". Such a statement builds trust for me as an engineer.

The low pricing puts this in range for me if I would do independent software development and outsource part of the work. I would want to make sure I don't pay for development and somebody just copy-pastes some GPL code. That could also spell trouble the day I might want to be acquired by some big player and the problem surfaces in their audit.

I'm passionate about software freedom. I can really see the usefulness of a tool such as this being part of continuous integration to keep developers honest, especially if some part of development is outsourced to big software factories.

But I'm having a hard time convincing project managers etc. about the importance of license compliance. If you can help me with this I might be able to sell in a tool like this.
Great idea. Although... given that it is offshoring addict IBM we're talking about, the "natural born" issue might once again rear its head.

By the way, "dumb" means unable to speak, or mute. Using "dumb" as a synonym for stupid is as offensive as using "retarded" as a synonym for idiotic. Which, in my opinion, is not at all.

Barring military secrets, perhaps, there's no reason the AI program's current state would necessarily have to be a black box. Nor would it need to be a neural network. I also disagree with the assertion that complex things cannot be vetted.

If that's what he said, then I agree wholeheartedly. "Garbage in, garbage out" is pretty hard to argue against.
Touch ID is a fingerprint scanner, but the Touch ID system is paired with the "Secure Enclave" in Apple's AX chips.

Secure Enclave is a separate coprocessor running its own L4-based microkernel. This hardware is directly paired with security-sensitive hardware (Touch ID, Apple Pay NFC chip, etc). It provides all cryptographic operations for data protection key management and maintains the integrity of data protection even if the kernel has been compromised.

So when you stick a third-party Touch ID sensor in an iPhone it's obviously not going to be paired with the secure coprocessor. It doesn't really matter whether biometrics are shitty passwords, the iOS update process realises there is compromised hardware touching the Secure Enclave and fails in the worst possible way for the user.
It's pleasing to see the following in the "donate" section:

"If you are interested in the intersection between technology and politics we invite you to donate to the Electronic Frontier Foundation ( https://supporters.eff.org/donate ). For 25 years the EFF has been a champion for civil liberties, privacy, and education on politics around emerging technologies. With your support they will continue to aid in technological progression with humanity in mind."
It is arguably fair use in the U.S. I don't think there is enough case law to be sure. It's hard to predict how it would go in litigation. I think you're right that the defendants wouldn't have a particularly strong case, but they wouldn't have the weakest.

The courts have generally judged significant "transformation" of the source material to be powerful in determining fair use. I think that would be in their benefit. Also it could be argued that this has very little effect on the market for the original copyrighted material, which would be in their favor. Of course, the copyright holder would see and argue it differently if they choose to sue. And the "the amount and substantiality of the portion taken" would not look good for the defendants -- but even though some common belief focuses on this factor almost exclusively -- thinking as long as you copy only 10 pages or whatever you're good, and if you don't you're definitely not -- that's not how it works, it's just one factor, and one that the courts in the past couple decades have somewhat de-emphasized.

But I don't think we can say "no way it is fair use", or "it could hardly be more clear cut." It could go either way. Fair use in the U.S. for novel things, not already well established as fair use or not, almost always looks like this.
