I wouldn't be surprised at all if Apple already gave a version of the OS to the FBI that enabled them to brute force the password for that one phone with the condition that they publicly put up this show as if they were not cooperating.
With a warrant, the government can look through my sock drawer. What do I care if they can look through my phone?
Let iPhone users opt-in and you'll find far fewer proponents of backdoor encryption than will be reflected in Congress. I wouldn't be surprised if most in the LE and Intel communities didn't opt-in. Why? Perhaps because the USGOV has yet to prove they can keep their own data secure. The Office of Personnel Management hack, Clinton official emails on a private server, and many more instances have shaken the faith in USGOVs ability to be an effective steward. I'm in favor of master keys for the FBI after they prove to the public, in a transparent and accountable manner, that those keys can be kept unassailably secure from misappropriation or abuse.
I'm not a crypto expert so take what I say with a grain of salt, but...

The password is tangled with the UID burned into the device at its creation, creating the 'passcode key' that secures the phone[0].

If extracting the UID is somehow possible, it doesn't sound impossible to try all 10,000 combinations (assuming the a 4-digit passcode is used) offline, on different software.

We're not talking about backdooring everyone's device. We're talking about Apple helping the FBI exploit a weakness already on the device, to access data on a specific device pursuant to a warrant.
Can we have a benchmarking post done?

Yes, they have had a visor feature for a long time actually. I'm not on my mac right now and i'm not 100% sure if this link is accurate anymore. But it's under the keyboard shortcuts or profile settings. It is not enabled by default, and you can create a new hotkey profile with more transparency or whatever,

There could be an exclusion in the EULA: this software may not be used in the furtherance of terrorist, anti social or illegal activities. Or any activities that might be deemed illegal in the future.

Then the EULA police would have the ability to really nail them, like Al Capone for tax evasion.
That would involve lying to a court. Intelligence folks might do that. Law enforcement? Not a chance; it would be career-ending even to discuss it.
That's a great thing to think about. IMHO, it's about worth and intent - as with any. And as with any software development, it's all relative. For me - personally - coding the map was a way for me to practice leaflet, which I've always been interested in learning, and at the same time D3. I never really thought about or even expected the campaign reaching out to me. The original map which is in bernie2016events.org used to take events from meetup.com and facebook.com, which I have scraped and manually curated. The campaign's open API for the events happened later.

So for me, the map was a practice exercise, which is essentially like a more convoluted Hello World. The value was perceived by others, and the campaign. The value for me was, "Ok, there's cluttered events all around the wild, I'd like to make sense of it and help out while I practice D3 and Leaflet."

The value as perceived by others was beyond me, and I was really just happy that it had bigger value that I originally intended.

This is different with foreign governments contributing online assets or money to the campaign, because the intent is different, and the worth is different. The intent is influence/leverage, and worth is tools/dollars. And as you have predicated below as well, corporate money is very different if you look deeper, compared to an individual who's just practicing.
"Narrow" AI is already here: search, banking, insurance, internet ads, crime prediction, Siri, plane autopilot (autotakeoff/landing too), autoparking, driver assist, on and on.

(At Trimble, we had fully autonomous tractor PoC in 2001)

"Deep" AI (self-directed / human-interactive) will take more time and effort, and can have (simulated) emotions if so programmed; the determinate is how to sell such as a viable product or service that doesn't freak people out too much or do something stupid like place untrustworthy systems in charge of live nuclear missiles.
> No, Chrome on Linux does not include all features of Chrome OS.

Hmm. I'm not aware of any unique features in a chromebook. I use a chromebook pixel as my all-day dev machine and I use chromixium (linux with fake chrome desktop) on my two older machines. I've been able to do whatever I wanted on all three.
With the default settings in iTerm, you might not fully fill the screen with shortcuts (half screen would be missing a little bit of the window on the bottom). By default iTerm uses row height to determine the window height.

What does a Ajax call response like 'for (;;); { json data }' mean?
Ask HN: What Makes API Documentation Great?
What specifically makes documentation great? Example: something about the design, format, where it's located, structure, video tutorials/no tutorials. Examples would be really helpful. Also, if you are a developer, do you tend to spend time reading documention before going forth and testing it out or not? Thanks!
That was my first impression, but I've actually found that I enjoy Civ 5 more. It's more dynamic and polished, and they've removed exactly these aspects of the game that I used to find annoying.

No Baba Yetu, though :(
"he"?
If the person with whom you are debating is ex-LEO, ex-military or a conservative, you can easily compare this erosion of the 4th amendment to the erosion of the 2nd amendment. Both the 2nd amendment and the 4th amendment were designed to protect the American people against abuse of power by the government. Supporting the 2nd but not the 4th, therefore, makes little sense.

The argument boils down to "if your family members were killed in San Bernardino, you would not support Apple".

The rebuttal is that first we should firearms because that is what the SB shooters used to actually commit the crime. Encryption never directly killed anyone.
Scrub?
You're perfectly within your rights to trust law enforcement as much as you'd like, believe that any investigative power they're given won't be abused, and that this isn't a cynically calculated grab for exactly that purpose.

I don't.

Thats the name of it. I need to listen again soon. So relaxing!
Hmm, does it offer anything over Pyramid/Cornice? Pyramid is also quick and easy to start (i.e. "Micro") and allows to extend a project to a full featureset when necessary (Auth, Routing, Model,...).

edit: Sorry I don't add anything more constructive to the discussion. Hope author does not feel discouraged, writing OSS and then getting asked "What's the point?" sure is disheartening.

Indeed. ZFS, supported by Canonical. Its Canonical's considered legal opinion that there isn't a problem with ZFS, and if you disagree you can sue them. They put their balls on the table. Dare you to try cutting them off. You need a real lawyer to try that, not an armchair lawyer.
Yeah sadly. More game developers changed to "console first" or "mobile first". Streamlined casual gameplay pay to win / free to play and the lack of a precise input device (mouse) on consoles almost killed the former very popular PC strategy games segment.

Civ, SC and Anno barely survived that trend in some streamlined form or another. I am still playing old perls from Age of Empires, Roller Coaster Tycoon, SimCity, Command & Conquer, Empire Earth, Settler, Industry Giant, etc series. The PC strategy game era I am familar with was between 1990 and 2005. The good thing all software still works and 2D graphics of some titles is good enough and aged better than early 3D graphics. And C&C Generals, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3, Age of Mythology and Age of Empires 3 still look very good, 12-15 years later.

<rant>It's like Crysis 1 from 2007 and GTA 4 from 2008 are still top notch, and can be compared with the best titles in 2015 like GTA 5 PC and AC Unity. No wonder with all the stagnation that highend GPU on 2k is running on just 25% load these days.</rant>
There was a great sketch from a show in the UK where a bunch of workers, including a female, were complaining that they were having trouble getting any work done from home because they were wanking all day.

I'm sorry if this doesn't totally relate to the topic-in-hand (great pun). I'm also sorry if it offends you.
Except for actually voting and running for elected office themselves, the laws for permanent residents in the political process are the same as for citizens. So in this case, it's not a question of non-monetary versus monetary contributions—Rapi can also legally write a check to the Sanders campaign because he is legally an American national. Getting the green card is the point when someone is no longer considered a foreign national.

I personally participated in the 2008 Democratic caucus as a permanent resident. I could take part in the political discussions, but I just couldn't vote (which is a party rule, not a law). I also lobbied state legislators on behalf of the school I was attending.

Apple, FBI, and the Burden of Forensic Methodology
I actually haven't used Uber in China. It isn't that big in Beijing, but I hear in places like Guangzhou it has much more of a presence. As far as I can tell, they have about the same cars working for them (they can take hails from both); I'm guessing the only difference is in the subsidy.
I should have mentioned that all my points should be easily done in an Excel-like interface, so no coding allowed. Point 3 is how you look stuff, maybe team A defines China as China, but team B defines it as China + Taiwan + Hong Kong, at scale this kind of use case is very hard to manage on a centralized BI system.

I'd be interested in hearing more about your hack, my email is in my profile, manual inputs are one of the biggest pain in BI and one of the reason people default to Excel files by email. In general, I am very passionate around those topics, but I am having a hard time building an audience around this.
They're different kinds of tools - maybe like comparing an RV to a motorcycle, or a guided missile to a sniper rifle. Or a...

Well, anyhow, while at a high level they're both tools that map between database commands and statically typed objects, the approach is very different.

Entity Framework is a full object relational mapper - it's generally the active record pattern, and it supplies things like migrations and entity tracking. The design philosophy is to abstract the database mechanics as much as possible, so you just work with collections of objects (e.g. DbSet<Person>) - add new Person instances to the set, set properties on them, etc. EF converts your intent into database commands (SQL queries in many cases, although EF7 supports some non-relational databases and in-memory storage, too). EF is tracking the state of all your objects, so it knows whether they need to be updated in the data store. That might be fine for a lot of cases - if you're managing a small list of products or customers, working on an intranet app, etc., you're not going to see a difference. I've seen (and fixed) a lot of horrible SQL queries that intranet devs built by concatenating strings; EF is at least going to usually give you decent, secure SQL. (If you're gnashing your teeth right now because EF crushed your dreams in the past, they've done some decent work on SQL generation lately, including some good stuff in EF7). It works pretty well on a lot of apps in lots of dev shops, and can be tuned to work well on big apps if you know what you're doing.

Dapper, and other "micro-ORMs" want to work closer to the metal. Dapper's tuned to taking the results of a database command (SQL query) and populate static objects. There's no entity tracking, state management, etc. Take results of a database query, stuff it into a bunch of object properties, walk away. Because of that, benchmarks showing the performance of select mapping over 500 iterations - POCO serialization are going to run a lot faster, just as (sorry, can't help myself) a motorcycle's going to beat an RV on a race down a tiny dirt trail.

So there may be some slow sites that are running on EF that would be faster on Dapper, but not without evaluating how they're interacting with the database, how they're doing database updates, etc.

Also, to be fair, you can disable a lot of features in EF (or other more fully featured ORMs) and get perf numbers pretty close to micro-ORM's like Dapper. See this comparison: https://github.com/StackExchange/dapper-dot-net/issues/246#i...

However, if you're turning off all the features and hand crafting SQL statements and working with untracked entities, you probably want a micro-ORM, anyways.
Awesome! Great to hear. You got me on the typo. Should have been 0.24A per PSU (we meter by outlet on multi-outlet systems). Still 1A on 120V in a 1U is very easy to achieve.

How Awe Stops Your Clock
Kanyewho is '$58m in debt' seen sipping champagne while buying diamonds
The free-market capitalism that you are espousing, requires a ‘cash grab’ —or distribution- to function or else it is completely incompatible with technological advancement.
Looping structures allow programs to increase output and efficiency on the supply side, enabling startups to undercut company's reliant on manual labor. Advancements in tech allow a single person to run an automated script that does the work of thousands of manual workers (while greatly reducing the risk of human error). However, increased efficiency on the supply side decreases the value of human labor, which consequently decreases purchasing power across the board in every industry where a manual process is replaced. The more industry's that are efficient, the fewer customers capitalists can offer their products and services too. Capitalism can’t work unless there is some degree of a 'free ride to the poor', because the wealthy cant generate revenue if there isn’t a middle class to sell their products to. Its in capitalists best interests to have the poor become the middle class—i.e., because no one can create marginal revenue if there is no one to sell things too (or the value of the good being sold deflates).
Without a strong consumer market there is no incentive for anyone to do anything in free market capitalism, because there is no incentive to do something that cannot create enough marginal value to meet ones material need, and because we are all finite beings reliant on external goods to persist, one cannot create value without meeting their material needs.
Would it not be a more preferable for a centralized structure to provide everyone with the basics, so everyone could study what interested them and add value to society as a whole. If the govt invested say 60k in each individual, a greater # of people be able to work on advancing the quality of life for our species, finding new worlds to inhabit, and generally speaking — adding marginal value to the way we spend our time. Instead of minds thinking about physics, and how to improve things, minds are thinking about how to survive. Is this state of affairs not a huge deadweight loss of humanity’s time? A Sanders administration would hopefully be a small, necessary, and peaceful step in the logical direction.

I believe that the post you were responding to was noting that you can't do pure research, because the results of the trading strategy actually being executed will influence the market. The pure research cannot determine how trading with that strategy will cause the market to react. Over time, the strategy will change the market more and more (if it's successful) which will change it's efficacy.
That's not a solution at all. That might stop just seriously stem corporate money into research. It seems like to me a better solution would be a "reverse copyright" of sorts, where the results of any study MUST be published after X amount of years.
Another fun fact is that a lot of the modernization and economic expansion experienced by Korea up to the end of WWii came about from the at times brutal colonization of the Korean peninsula by Japan which transformed an agrarian subsistence society into a more urban and the second most developed country in Asia after imperial Japan itself.

I was developing a test rig for a cmos rom back in the 70's (yes, HP made cmos roms). I was testing my test rig and as usual I tested removing the power pin. The test kept passing so I thought my rig was screwed up. It turns out that the input signals were powering up the chip through the same protection diodes mentioned in the article.

Edit: One would think that if the input test vector included an all-zeros case the chip would fail. It turns out this didn't happen because there were two chip-enables, one true and one false.

I think his point is that if you want it to be legal to have a dildo in your sock drawer then change the laws to make it legal rather than relying on "people not finding out".

Another implication is why would a court order grant access to a sock drawer but not a phone. What makes one unlike the other, regarding lawful court approved search warrants.
Yes, I understand. But I thought I'd put my 2cents on the difference between what I did if I didn't have a green card. And how it differs with a corporation/big donors/super PACs or a foreign gov't giving assistance to a campaign.
What if Apple's coerced firmware update bricks the phone? That's destruction of evidence they'd need immunity from. What trust and conflicts arise when a company has blanket immunity from such evidence being destroyed?

So many slippery slopes.
I took it to imply exactly that, but then I realised that I'm missing some important information about the US court system. Had the FBI 'issued its application under seal' would Apple have been able to appeal under the same reporting restrictions thus initiating the same chain of legal process but without the messy publicly?

They might have, it's certainly been a theme in some comments by supporters of the unlocking.
