You're conflating very different scopes of "capability" and responsibility.

I'll quote the DoJ's legal brief on how Apple is not "far removed" from this phone owned by a 3rd party:

"... the government is seeking to use capabilities that Apple has purposefully retained in a situation where the former user of the phone is dead ..."

"... iPhones will only run software cryptographically signed by Apple ... Just because Apple has sold the phone to a customer and that customer has created a passcode does not mean that the close software connection ceases to exist; Apple has designed the phone and software updates so that Apple's continued involvement and connection is required."

"More generally, the burden associated with compliance with legal process is measured based on the direct costs of compliance, not on other more general considerations about reputations or the ramifications of compliance".

Really hate to sound like a constitutional fundamentalist but we already have protections about this, at least in the USA, it's just completely unenforced.

Freedom from unreasonable search and seizure. The forethought against overbearing government has ALWAYS been there.

Except there's been a massive end-run around "unreasonable". I mean every single hour of every single day, someone's car is being ransacked by the police, despite them not being under arrest.

If they can do that and get away with it, then nothing else is safe or sacred.
The question isn't whether the government can force Apple to compromize their own security--the answer is, it can.

The question is whether a court-issued warrant is sufficient to do so, or whether that power is only available via the Congress.
no problem, it's like the honey moon period for a type 1 patient

How about these thought experiments:

A) A man walks in the street carrying a shotgun visibly

B) A man walks in the street waving around his shotgun

C) A group of men walk in the street waving around their shotguns and various rifles

D) A man points an unloaded gun at another man (a total stranger) in the street in broad day light.

I would argue all these are crimes because you are terrorizing people, even if you never injured anyone nor had the intention of injuring anyone.
That's another troublesome point. Our distinctions are related to old Jim Crow notions that 1/64th Black made you Not White. Why not the other way around? If 1/64th White made you Not Black, then the USA would be about 99% white.

So I'm not sure what these stats even mean. At bottom, its a broken idea that a killer is White or Black; it largely depends upon who's doing the reporting.

I suppose that it could be interpreted that way, however the point of the tax rate being 'progressively' designed is to encourage /both/ low rents and more space for rent (as a way of reducing the taxed assessed against the property value).

Urban planing is also supposed to include parks, recreational facilities, and a generally vibrant mix of entertainment types near a population. A utopic city is supposed to be /better/ than rural lifestyle because of increased opportunity of all types. Having grown up in the suburbs, the only opportunity that affords is disenfranchisement; which is what I also hear of the rural areas.
Hah! The worst? Penn & Teller's Desert Bus is the worst. By design. From the wiki page:

>The bus contains no passengers, there is little scenery aside from an occasional rock or bus stop sign, and there is no traffic. The road between Tucson and Las Vegas is completely straight. The bus veers to the right slightly, and thus requires the player's constant attention. If the bus veers off the road it will stall and be towed back to Tucson, also in real time. If the player makes it to Las Vegas, one point is scored. The player then has the option to make the return trip to Tucson for another point, a decision which must be made in a few seconds or the game ends. Players may continue to make trips and score points as long as their endurance lasts. Although the landscape never changes, an insect splats on the windshield about five hours through the first trip, and on the return trip the light fades, with differences at dusk, and later a pitch black road where the player is guided only with headlights

So far, most of the comments are lamenting that the superconducting temperature of 4 K is uselessly low. That's true, but beside the point.

The point of superconducting graphene is not to use it as a general purpose superconductor where the goal is to have the highest Tc possible. The point of superconducting graphene is that graphene's electrons flow in a way that's very different from most materials.

In most materials, if you apply a voltage, the electrons will speed up (F=MA, Newton's second law). This how a voltage drives electrons into your computer.

However, because of its crystal structure, graphene is different. In graphene, electrons always travel at a constant speed, no slower and no faster. This feature of graphene is also why its electrons are sometimes called massless (despite not being truly massless). Their motion is analogous to photons, which always travel at a constant speed. And because these electrons travel like photons instead of electrons, it has a bunch of consequences in solid state physics and electronics.

The importance of superconducting graphene is that we now have a new variety of superconducting electrons to study.
I'm sure most people outside that subgroup would jump at the chance to get a cheaper substitute.

> All developers start out as free software developers, then gain employment.

I don't think that's true. Some people never get involved in free software even as a hobby. Some people get apprenticeships and learn to program from scratch on the job.
My belief is that a "corporation" is a fiction brought into existence by the state—like copyright. Government gets to say what corporations do or don't do, because without government, corporations just don't exist as a "thing" in the first place—they just become groups of people who happen to be working together.

People have inalienable rights, because people existed before governments did. Corporations don't, because corporations exist as a contract between people-taken-as-a-group (i.e. the state) and people-taken-as-individuals.

This is a good and a bad thing: it means that precepts like "corporations exist to pursue profit at all costs" are not actually "hardcoded" into the laws of the universe, but are just part of the particular way the state has chosen to make corporations work. If we (people-taken-as-whole) stopped thinking that that was a good idea, we could just change the corporate "goal conditions"—and the world would suddenly be different.
I think people are missing the point. This isn't as much about ES6 as it is about DDG. For example:

Hi, the SDK is not dead at all, it's going to come out in 1-2 months, we just have been focusing on encryption which should be coming this week. By the way, the lack of automated group updates is by design, there is very limited bandwidth made available by the FCC and if we allowed everyone to transmit their locations non-stop it would ruin it for everyone. We do have some features coming soon that will help get locations in a smoother fashion. Please standby to see those functions soon.
If you want to be amazed, check out Star Castle:

This is a recent (2011) Atari game that renders several concentric rotating circles, each with a gap. It's the game that Howard Scott Warshaw (the E.T. guy) decided couldn't be done on the 2600. Knowing what I know about the 2600 graphics subsystem, I can see why he came to that conclusion.

Of course, Warshaw then Star Castle as inspiration for Yar's Revenge. This game was widely considered to be excellent... leading to Warshaw having the credibility to be asked to do E.T.

Another data point: there are no generic albuterol inhalers on the market right now. Switching from CFC to HFA despite literally only pharmaceutical companies being concerned about CFC usage in inhalers meant new patents all around with no more generics due to the CFC ban. I don't even remember the last time any of my inhalers, actually, was available as generic - switching the propellant/delivery mechanism seems to be a great evergreening tactic. There's gotta be a lot of money flowing around somewhere anyway regardless of patent/market exclusivity extension and expiration - there's also the fun situation where I get prescribed one of brand-only [Advair, Symbicort, Dulera] inhalers ~solely~ based on which drug company cut a better deal with my insurance company at that point.

There are some happy stories with generics, though! I save a decent chunk of money buying OTC cetirizine over UCB/Sanofi's chiral switch Xyzal.
The End of Average
... and remote filesystems.
I completely disagree. I looked at the patch above. I personally don't like. mounting efivars rw is akin to mounting boot rw by default.

A sane linux distro will mount it ro and switch to rw whenever need. Defaulting to rw efivars is, excuse the language stupid.

I've done a fair share of efi debugging even removing some of the variables that the kernel will now protect you from breaking.

If the issue is that users should be able to remount efivars as rw whenever needed then that should be addressed, not prevent you from doing stuff to it because there is a rogue init system doing crazy stuff.

EDIT: BTW, i don't think systemd does anything besides write to the various Boot* variables, but I may be wrong. I don't see why that can't be addressed with a remount. If you replace the boot.efi you still have to remount the efi partition anyway.

While Matthew may be right that there is an issue that needs to be addressed, but in one of his tweets he basically says the kernel should fix it because tooling isn't and bioses suck. Well, maybe tooling should be forced to fix it.

or from the issue:

Matthew-Jemielity commented 24 days ago
What needs efivars mounted at all anyway? So far I've seen:

grub
systemctl --firmware-setup reboot
efibootmgr
Since those likely need superuser, couldn't they handle (un)mounting it themselves?

@annejan
annejan commented 23 days ago
As long as distribution that are aimed at consumers remount it ro and on updating kernels wrap grub with remount this is a complete non-issue.
You would make a good case if you supported at least part of systemd's syntax
for unit files (nothing popped up when I skimmed manual).

It would be a good start for being a drop-in replacement for systemd in other
distributions, instead of requiring sysadmins to rewrite all the services.
I'm pretty sure that many of your concerns could be alleviated with a lifeproof case (rugged and waterproof), the maps.me app (offline maps for iPhone, also supports KMZ hiking trails), and a few 10,000 mAh USB batteries. I use one which typically keeps my phone charged for a few days, with a lot of use.

This is great for relatively small hikes. But if you're going off on a major expedition, then sure, you should probably take the professional radio and Garmin gear, and all the other survival gear people normally bring.

But if you've already got the lifeproof case and extra USB batteries, I think this Beartooth device looks pretty useful.
That's the essence of complementarity. Cowen's "Average is Over" talks about it a lot, and uses many chess examples specifically to back it up. Recommended.

(Mobiledoc contrib here)

One thing Draft and Mobiledoc seem to have in common is a robust programmatic API. Draft is pitched as a "framework for building rich text editors in React". Mobiledoc pitches itself as a toolkit for building WYSIWYG editors, so fairly similar goals.

Mobiledoc is designed to be very quick and easy to render, and additionally to support rich content "cards" and "atoms". These are runtime-implemented rich content sections, and our main sponsor for this work (Bustle Labs) uses them for image sliders, animated and interactive SVG features, videos, and more.

These runtime rendering points also make it easy to have multiple representations of a document. For example, we render Mobiledoc into text for ElasticSearch, into HTML for normal web visitors, and into AMP HTML. When rendering into text or AMP we can't use the normal card implementations, and runtime-configuration makes this easy.

And the rich cards work with copy paste! and undo/redo! Anyway, there is definitely overlap here, but IMO the goals of Draft are pretty narrow so far.

Because no one is interested in spending billions to get a generic insulin through FDA or other regulatory agencies.

Too much profit is to be made.
At the same time doctor's income is actually decreasing. So America has a lot of parasitic Capitalists adding little value but sucking billions of dollars out of the system. This sort of Capitalism does no one any good. A lot of that money is being sucked out by regulatory capture.

Spending more money will lead to yet more money being lost to the same parasites which will simply find ways of increasing their ability to leech money from the system.
A big difference is that Facebook is using React in their own products. I don't think they will be as happy to dump the whole thing as soon as there is a slight change in winds, like Adobe did with Flex.

Check out the controversies section on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_Revenue_Service#Contr...

Here's a little bit from it:

> In 2013, the IRS became embroiled in a political scandal in which it was discovered that the agency subjected conservative or conservative-sounding groups filing for tax-exempt status to extra scrutiny.[56]

> On September 5, 16 months after the scandal first erupted, a Senate Subcommittee released a report that confirmed that Internal Revenue Service used inappropriate criteria to target Tea Party groups, but found no evidence of political bias.[57] The chairman of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations confirmed that while the actions were "inappropriate, intrusive, and burdensome," the Democrats have often experienced similar treatment.[58] Republicans noted that 83% of the groups being held up by the IRS were right-leaning; and the Subcommittee Minority staff, which did not join the Majority staff report, filed a dissenting report entitled, “IRS Targeting Tea Party Groups.” [59]

The shenanigans happened in the run-up to the 2012 elections. The "extra scrutiny" was basically stonewalling, delays, and creepy investigations into personal lives of individuals in the groups that were filing for tax-exempt status. If I recall correctly, when you had "Tea" or "Patriot" in the name of your organization, your application automatically got forwarded to a dedicated abuse squad at IRS. Tea parties had trouble organizing due to these tactics because they couldn't fundraise.

> Try using that non-touch early 00's compact camera again

I don't have a touch camera at all. The one that I do have isn't a DSLR, but includes various dials. That's my point: dedicated controls will always be better. A camera that primarily relies on a direction pad and menus is only slightly better than using a touchscreen (but it is better).

> As for the "blind and one-handed" operation with the non-mp3 CDs, did that include changing through 200+ albums and 2000+ tracks?

For the CDs? Of course not. I'm not going to claim that a single CD could hold that many, whether or not they were in MP3 format. As for the MP3 player, I tend to set playback to a particular artist or setting the player to randomly play song from the whole library (by sight, of course), then throw it in my pocket. From that point, basic playback control doesn't require me to take it out of my pocket, while I'd have to at least take out my phone and wake up the screen to start doing the same thing.

I've got to assume that the way we tend to use our devices differs enough that something that feels like a huge improvement to me is a piddling detail in your use-case. On the other hand, some of the ways that I liked using my devices have disappeared, or at least been de-emphasized in more recent models, and that's what I'm frustrated with.

> As I predicted, you are okay with prosecuting victimless crimes

I've described what is a crime, not what should be a crime.

> In any case, we're on a slippery slope conditioning the masses for control.

Maybe, but essentially regulatory, preventive offenses like drunk driving aren't new, so its hard to describe a "slippery slope" based on their existence. I mean, that type of offense has been around in the systems from which the US systems descend longer than the US itself has been around; if its a slippery slope, where is the slipping?

> I wonder what's next, jail time for prohibited speech and later prohibited thoughts?

While there has been some mixed results, I think the long-term trend in the time that regulatory, preventive, offenses have been around has been toward greater protection for speech and conscience, not less. So I don't see those things as likely to be what's next -- though, certainly, they do get proposed from time to time, and have even been enforced. (The use of the Espionage Act and the Sedition Act during the Red Scare, for instance.)

> Am I really entitled to my opinion, though?

Yes.

"Sounds like" based on...what actual thing that's been argued in this thread?
