The specific patch the FBI is asking for is a way to be able to run a mechanized brute force attack on the pin for the phone without triggering the auto-erase.

This would require a new OS to be installed in a way that bypasses what I imagine are merely software blocks to installing OSes (it sounds like if they have possession of the device, they can install the OS to it).

This is a technique and a technique can certainly be replicated. Only problem is next time, Apple can't say, "this is an unprecedented step, and very burden-some," which actually turns out to be a legal basis.
I also went through a Riesling phase (various blue-colored bottles from Germany, mostly). Bottles were in the $10 range, varied a bit in acidity and fruit, but were generally quite drinkable.

"Fancy" is a dangerous preference in wine, though! Wine does get better in the $20-$30 range, because some wines cost more to produce. (oak, late harvest, estate-grown, old vines, some varietals, etc.)
They're great, and I guess using them wouldn't really matter for this blog post. But they're useful for generating static things. As soon as you generate lots and lots of graphs dynamically, it's easier to offload it to the client. They'll download the JS library once (maybe even from the CDN, not from you) and you just push the data points which are 1/1000th the size of a rendered graph. (they'll also look better, because you can't do subpixel antialiasing without knowing the display)

It depends on the use case.

Someone hired better lawyers. All these ridiculous EULA and click through licences and idiotic mandatory registration systems we see, I can't help think many companies would benefit from hiring better lawyers. Get rid of the timid who default to 'no' in order to protect their own arse, hire people who help you get where you want to go.

In this case, I can't even see any real liability issues - even if Canonical did get taken to court there are no damages since the software is free of charge.

I'm being totally serious. I'm not at all convinced that the only way the United States is at war is when Congress declares it.

Declarations of war are diplomatic in nature. There is even a theory that declarations of war are unnecessary after an act of war has already been undertaken.

> there's no guarantee that the shipped binary packages can be built with the shipped toolchain or shipped dependencies.

That problem will be with us as long as we use binaries as the primary means of distribution. If you consider that to be a problem, you could put effort into distributions where the packaging is the source code. I know I do.

> Because it's entirely unnecessary? Building the entire archive is a huge amount of effort.

No company's policies are perfect. You might be more effective trying to deal with the overall distribution of how software is done rather than imperfections in community leaders. There is a point of diminishing returns in focusing on a small subset of the companies out there while completely ignoring the rest.
I don't give a fk about this guy. Ubuntu is the stable desktop os i had for the last 8 years.
There are companies and agencies and other entities which allow employees to use their work-issued phones for personal use [some require re-imbursement]. And even if they explicitly forbade it, it's not like a perp will necessarily obey those stipulations, so it's not a forgone conclusion there would be no useful daate there.
Trust-busting also comes to mind.
What most people don't realize is that iPython (sans this notebook stuff) scales horizontally (across boxes) too. Get a bunch of UNIX surplus cheapo pizza boxes with decent CPUs and start crunching cheaper than buying new SuperMicro boxes... let some die and it's still cheaper than buying new gear.

If you want a Linux cluster and don't want to set that shit up manually, Rocks Clusters FTW.

I haven't had good luck with this new notebook system, it requires installing too much and doesn't just work like Python packages and it's too much of a pain, but maybe it will get less painful... Maybe they should just provide desktop apps which pull down/update and vendor their own per-language runtimes and give a way to interact with those isolated (vendored) runtimes, rather than a bunch of clunky instructions that go stale quickly. For server-side, something similar that doesnt interfere with native packages.

For somewhat older Python notebook apps, ReInteract is nice.

There's an article in the New York Times which says that Apple has already been doing this [1], but they seem to have had a change of heart in the past few years.

Each data-extraction request was carefully vetted by Apple’s
lawyers. Of those deemed legitimate, Apple in recent years
required that law enforcement officials physically travel with
the gadget to the company’s headquarters, where a trusted Apple
engineer would work on the phones inside Faraday bags, which
block wireless signals, during the process of data extraction.

As meticulous and careful as these two were about keeping what they were up to secret, encrypting the evidence they didn't destroy, and so-on, do you really think they're going to be stupid and sloppy enough to call Terrorist HQ on their fucking work phone?

Red. Herring.

EDIT: Aside, I just went down a diverting and entertaining little web-hole on the etymology of the expression "red herring". It is, indeed, a deliberate diversion: in the 19th century, fugitives would cover their tracks with smoked (red) herring, because it would put the bloodhounds off their scent.

And when China or Russia or Syria decides that an American is a mass murderer or a terrorist? Do you want them to compel Apple to unlock Francis Gary Powers' iPhone?

I'll be honest, if somehow Apple could sign a software update that merely disabled encryption for phones belonging to actual mass murders and terrorists, and didn't work on the rest of our phones, I'd be supportive. It's just that there's no possible way for such a thing to exist. The best you can do is a software update that works on everyone's phone, in the hands of people who promise to only use it on mass murderers and terrorists. That's far riskier.

Ironically, I would say customizability ends up being pretty important for serious developers attempting to avoid working. I can't say my terminal itself—as opposed to the shell—requires any serious modifications at all. (I rewire the left option key and color schemes, and that's about it.)

> Postgres has an extensible type system so Radix sort isn't really suitable, it really needs a comparison sort.

That's not quite true. It supports string tries, for example (using SP-GIST). Such operations just have to be built for specific types. I think it would be more accurate to say that (AFAICT) Postgres doesn't currently have any way to extend the optimizer with custom plans (though it's been a very popular feature suggestion).
Yeah, thats all fine and good. Nothing to announce with lxc/lxd + btrfs because it already works fine :) I do like the wizard to easily setup the zfs backend, rather than you needing to manually replace /var/lib/lxc with a btrfs partition or however you are doing it.

I've been using lxc + btrfs daily for quite a while, setting up and tearing down hundreds of containers on a busy day. I stopped using lxc snapshots after I had a btfs subvolume that would crash the system when I mounted it. After that, no problems.
Count me in as another person who was hopelessly addicted as a kid. I remember one summer in middle school I would hit the power button on my PC and play this game until dinner. What's different about this game was that I would play it and not feel bad that I spent so much time doing it. Few games are like that for me today. This has to be one of the best dynamic puzzle or strategy games of all time.
Only drawback is power consumption. Running a basement/dungeon cluster on surplus (or even brand new) hardware, you're going to end up paying through the nose on power bills.

With regard to a smoother distribution workflow, Enthought and Anaconda (the latter being my preference) go a long way to ease this. They keep curated package sets of scientific software that are known to work together smoothly, plus include their own package management systems that work well when installed standalone e.g. in a user's home direcctory. You can do this with pip and/or virtualenvs, but it's not as smooth and that is really optimized for a different use case I think.
Been playing Colonization on and off for what must be 20 years, still amazing.
I call b.s. There is no possible justification for a company to hand over any private keys, code signing or otherwise.

There's valid questions whether a data set should or needs to be encrypted. But giving up private keys means some entity can masquerade as that key's owner, and alter what that owner has written. Not OK. Authentication, veracity, provenance, of a data set is vital to the trust model. Why would you advocate breaking this?

Second, assisting which government? Any? All? Some? What's the metric?
EXTREMELY FINE! Unlike the article, most copy-cat lol-writing styles do not fall on the good side of that line.
And knowing that once they have that ability, there would be nothing stopping them using it on any iPhone in the entire world? Including yours? You're OK with that?

After what Snowden has told us, we know with certainty the FBI/NSA/CIA will use this ability on the phones of citizens of other countries, so I think it's safe to assume other countries would do the same.
What about asserting write lock on the flash? By piggybacking a copied (but encrypted), identical flash part, or an ICE that allows reads from the original flash and writes to another part, the os wouldn't necessarily know there was anything nefarious going on.

Besides, if this particular information is that valuable, they would have no problem paying for it.

Which brings us back to: it isn't the device they want cracked, but governmental oversight of (civilian) encryption.

More like dual purpose. It has legs, but they may be weak, but the possibility that they did trip up is not infinitesimal --it could be a small lead, or it could turn up nothing. Given its potential dual purpose, if I were the FBI, I'd go for it. They'd be remiss if they did not pursue this.

One of my parents has a serious mental illness. It first manifested and became obvious (requiring multiple hospitalizations over the years) in their late 20's after I was born. I don't have the data in front of me, but I understand a mid-to-late 20's onset and diagnosis of mental illness is not rare -- plenty of time to have kids beforehand.
For purposes of discussion I have no opinion on it. I'm only stating the obvious possibilities. Just like I can discuss the possibilities of a meteor striking Earth, I don't have to like it to discuss it and entertain the idea of what could happen.

Yep. But this safe-maker promised people a safe so strong that the maker himself can't break in. The government's request and their response has proven that false, at least for older iSafe units with the default combination length (4 digits). This line from their press release makes me suspect that even newer iSafes are not safe from this safe-maker:

> In the wrong hands, this software — which does not exist today — would have the potential to unlock any iPhone in someone’s physical possession.
For a similar situation sure. Why not? The court isn't asking to give the FBI access to all phones. Just one phone they have physical control over.

Do you really think Apple would tell the Chinese government to fuck off if the Chinese threatened to ban apple unless Apple opened a single phone. I have ten billion reasons to believe they would do it.

If those countries were using it to crack down on political prisoners then I'd suggest Apple pull out of the market rather than comply.

But generally corporations should not be allowed to pick and choose what laws to follow. If a company doesn't want to subject itself to the authority of a government, don't do business there.
Those comments are very different from Matthew's previous comments regarding Oracle's dtrace LKM for Linux, where the only definitive remark he had was that bypassing the GPL symbol export like they did was not okay:

His argument about CDDL Linux kernel modules using non-GPL exported symbols being a problem is clearly FUD. Specifically, Fear of a violation; Uncertainty of a violation; and Doubt that there is no violation.
I've had the same experience. Written ~10 unique cover letters (for positions I really wanted), done a couple 'practice problems' but the only positive responses have been from 4 sentence long emails I sent out to people who posted on Ask HN.
It is. This incident was a few years ago. Last time I was in the city, a few months ago I was walking down a long set of stairs.

A homeless guy was walking up. As he passed me he held eye contact and said something like "You fucking bitch."

I was ready for him to attack me or whatever but we both kept walking. I'm just one guy, but I have never even lived in the city and I live out of country now. My friends who do live in the city all have lovely stories - people breaking into and sleeping in their cars, shitting in their cars, coming home and finding a homeless person standing in your bedroom (Santa Cruz).

U.S. Clash with Apple Was Months in the Making
From here (4th para from the end):
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/19/technology/how-tim-cook-be...

"Apple had asked the F.B.I. to issue its application for the tool under seal. But the government made it public, prompting Mr. Cook to go into bunker mode to draft a response, according to people privy to the discussions, who spoke on condition of anonymity."

If this is true, it sort-of implies that Apple would have done it, but secretly, and they were forced to take their very public stance because of the FBI's posturing.
Agreed... ITT there is a good amount of presumption that the natural and appropriate motivation for decisions is personal actualization and short horizon victory.

E.g. contention that it's so good to be single today, why would you even consider getting married?

The answer to those in a prolonged adolescence with such a view is: because there may be more to life than yourself. The first thing that changes when you _have kids_ is that you should no longer be your own top priority.

Thank god neurobiology forces reorganization of imperatives as much as it does...! :)
Plus, or "only because"? For us it's "only because"... I have no intrinsic loyalty to any provider and am happy to use any - I wonder if there's a difference!
Thanks the the initial feedback. Let me clarify one thing. I am more interested in the services/tools that you use as developers during the development process. I'm just trying to get an idea of what companies/brands are doing a good job at capturing the developer community.
I'll walk into an even bigger fire.

I encode all my css, html, and code in JS. I put the entire thing for each module in one page, but my modules are small and granular. I truly believe that separation of concerns does not apply. CSS/HTML/JS are all concerned with each other in a small module. Reading and writing the code becomes much easier and there isn't really any performance hit.
You shouldn't be down voted because you're wrong :) and what you say is in no way detrimental to this discussion.

That being said, you are wrong because if the ability to backdoor these devices is required by us law, that backdoor will be exploited by anyone with the cash for the exploit, which means Syria, China, Russia, or republicans.

It'd be better to remove the encryption entirely from these devices, so at least you're guaranteed of the safety of your data. (I.e., no security)

There is nothing about this device that hasn't already been swept up by mass surveilence programs, which I guess is fine because it's done by our elected government and its for catching terrorists, and not say, abortion providers or clinic bombers.
Of course nobody with half a heart harbors any animosity towards a person who who for whatever reason is homeless and just wants to eat and live their life.

It's the combination of the tragedy that so many live on the streets and the crime that such a population brings to the rest of us that is the issue. These people are often mentally unstable, violent, drug addicted, disturbed, etc.

Throwing them in jail is a waste of their potential and our money. Instead of only providing soup kitchens and free beds (which combined with the weather simply incentivizes out of state folks to come to SF), we should also provide some sort of long term, institutional mental care for these people - the present two options aren't working (a bed and some soup or if you get convicted of a crime a cage and some nutraloaf).
Azure has nothing to do with DotNet and DotNet has nothing to do with Azure.
