The real IOT challenges are all in the backend: protocols, storage, API's, user interfaces, aggregation, scripting, events, machine learning, provisioning, security, federation, SaaS, etc etc. Most especially, you have to do some of that stuff at the scale of millions of devices all talking to you at once.

My first job in NYC as a junior engineer a decade ago was 110k plus equity.

I rented a single long hallway-like room basement studio in Chelsea for 2k/month. Good neighborhood if you are a gay man or like art galleries. Recently got the elevated railway turned park going through it as an added benefit.

My girlfriend had a nicer basement studio in the East Village for $2.5k/month. Nice for the younger NYU crowd that likes to go out to bars and clubs like Webster Hall.

Basements are the worst. Your view is bad, your lighting is bad, you smell the garbage all night on garbage days, piled up on the street, and you have bug attacks like ants and termites all summer - that's why they are cheap.

A friend with a studio above ground near City Hall Park in a doorman building with a pool in the basement is paying $5k/month. I know someone paying $8k for a really nice 1 bedroom on a high floor with glass walls in the theatre district.

We were all on the subway in Manhattan, though. The really poor people have to bus over from NJ, or live an hour subway ride away like north of central park like Washington Heights. Those people are just suffering with a long, poor commute to save money, though.

> It's about all the paperwork you have to do.

I'm curious -- is there actual paperwork, or is it possible to do it electronically? If yes, why aren't there programs that do it for you? Would like to hear comments from a US expat.

I wonder if there's an opportunity in simplifying this. I'm guessing most expats would rather pay, say $50 for a company to do this paperwork on their behalf? Or do H&R / Intuit have that market cornered as well?
Sigh, this is not going to end well. How many times has MS tried to do universal apps in one form or another? Who cares about running the same program on an Xbox one vs PC? Lots of headaches trying to optimize a game on two different platforms, actually more than that since there's an infinite variety of PC platforms. Is this necessary? Sounds more like grandiose vision from the top to get people excited. And how's the Steam Hardware vision working out?

> Where does interpretation enter into that oath?

In order to support and defend the Constitution, you must have an understanding of what it means (unless you interpret the oath -- itself part of the Constitution -- to mean physical support and defense of the physical document.) To have an understanding, you must interpret. The oath, therefore, requires interpretation.

(Now, the Constitution itself gives the judiciary the role of resolving controversies arising under the Constitution, which includes disputes arising from differing interpretations. But people -- including executive officers -- have to have interpretations before they can get to the point where such a dispute arises for the courts to settle.)
Let me be more precise, I think representative democracy is a weaker form of democracy than direct democracy, and less desirable. The amount of real democracy we have these days is virtually nil, as in say over the affairs of our daily lives.

> Technology will always be moving faster than courts can define how the law applies, and thus interpretation is a part of law enforcement's daily job.

Imagine using the same logic in gun control. Imagine there were no laws against certain kinds of ammunition and law enforcement just went around saying certain guns are illegal just because what was in the officer's coffee that morning. People always throw around the phrase "we're a constitutional republic, not a democracy" when I say the Connecticut compromise ought to be scrapped but the same people are for a massive overreach by law enforcement.

Imagine someone shot and killed you in the street for no reason and said they thought it was their right. Would that absolve them? No. Neither should this kind of overreach by the FBI be legal.

Quoting http://articles.latimes.com/2013/may/21/news/la-lh-how-to-gr... :

> Growing coffee isn’t hard. It’s the time-consuming extraction of the beans that defeats would-be backyard growers.

> Every season when the coffee bushes hidden in the shade of the Wattles Farm community garden in Hollywood start to produce cherries, one of the gardeners volunteers for the process of peeling the shells, removing the fleshy pulp along with the interior parchment, and washing and air-drying the tiny beans within.

> “They’re very enthusiastic in the beginning and are still enthusiastic at the end because the coffee is very good, but they swear they’ll never do it again,” said Laurel Delp, one of the gardeners at Wattles.

Also, according to that romantic notion:

> A dollars’ worth of seeds will result in a conservative estimate of 60 plants. Each plant yields 10 pounds of coffee cherry per year.

That assumes a full-grown tree. From http://www.coffeefair.com/coffee-facts-plant.htm :

> Do you have the patience to wait for three or four years? Well that's about how long it will take you before you can harvest your first beans from your own coffee plant. ...

> Coffee plants will produce fruit without any fertilizing whatsoever, but for best results and maximum yield, they should be fed every 2 weeks from March to October, and then monthly from November through February. Use a soluble, all purpose (10-10-10) fertilizer.

As you say, the land, water, fertilizer, and time to farm and process the plants, and delivery costs, are all assumed to cost nothing.

And what would a guy like Jamie Dimon know about the future of finance? Honest question. If anyone would have said back in October 2008: "hey, guys, in about 7 or 8 years 20% of the world economy is going to be run on negative interest rates" that guy would have been escorted right out of the building, or worse. Guys like Jamie Dimon were (and still are) completely out of the loop, they are in their current position only because the whole show does not run on economics principles anymore, it's all politics and power games.

In retrospect, comparing the "dramatic" times of back then (anyone remembering about Hank Paulson crawling and begging in front of a room full of bankers?) to what's happening now I would say that our situation has gotten a thousand times worst (fortunately for common sense there's no Janet Yellen or the current Treasure Secretary crawling in front of a room full of pension fund managers).

I mean, I remember that the financial press was going berserk around October 2008 or so because the money market funds had started "to break the buck", as they say, that was unprecedented. (http://libertystreeteconomics.newyorkfed.org/2013/10/twenty-...) . But just the other day I was reading an article in a recent issue of The Economist (too lazy to search for the link) where, very non-nonchalantly I would say, the author was informing us that the life insurance industry (and I would add the private pensions industry as well as the mutual funds) is in a sort of an existential crisis, as in it cannot guarantee the returns it promised to its policyholders anymore. Crazy enough, the numbers from the article were in fact making sense, and yes, indeed, it seems like the numbers just don't add up anymore for the the life insurance industry (to which I would add the private pensions industry and the mutual funds industry). Problem is, the entire Western capitalistic system is depending on these industries. If they go the way of the dodo (meaning no more guaranteed 4% annual return, at least) then... I don't know what will happen then, I think no-one knows.

But, yeah, maybe Jamie Dimon has indeed the answers to one of the biggest (and I would say the most interesting) crisis in the history of capitalism. Trouble is he's as clueless as we are.
Ah, I was wondering, because it also seemed really slow.
Identifying bias or double standards is journalism 101. Spies do that too given they have to collect information too. Yet, wondering about a guy who ran off with the Snowden leaks on his own for selfish gain... even to Schneier's surprise... isnt CIA/NSA propaganda. It's a legitimate concern about his motives and/or moral high ground he tries to leverage in debates.
Right. If you look at it from a security point of view, once the compromised OS is created you've created a much more valuable and vulnerable target for hacking.

Let's say that some attacker wants to create a compromised OS and install it on a certain device.

If apple never creates the compromised OS, they would need to hack into apple, get all of the source code necessary to build iOS, figure out how to build it, figure out how to modify it in the desired ways, how to get it installed on a phone, steal the crypto keys necessary to do the signing, and sign the bad build.

If apple has created the compromised OS, they would just need to hack into apple and get the compromised OS build, steal the crypto keys, and sign it.

The first scenario is a large-scale software engineering project. Anyone that's been given a large source dump will tell you that it's horrible and takes forever to do anything, and iOS is going to be absolutely huge and tricky. You'd need a large, highly trained team of security/OS devs, which is hard to come by and would be extremely expensive.

The second scenario could conceivably be done by a single hacker, if they can find vulnerabilities in apple's security.
It would save time.
I don't know if Apple has any specific capability as part of the firmware verification, but even if they didn't they could just put something like this early in the boot process:

if (unique_device_id != SAN_BERNARDINO_DEVICE_ID) {
halt();
}

If this code must be signed to execute then it can't be modified to work on another device without Apple signing it again.

This assumes there's a unique device ID that is known to the FBI and can't be tampered with. Maybe the serial number or IMEI?

Deliv is a crowdsourced, last mile logistics company that powers same-day delivery and returns for retailers, local businesses, and e-commerce companies. Deliv is focused exclusively on moving packages; not selling goods (so we can be really good at what we do). We power same-day delivery for over 4,000 businesses including Macy's, Best Buy, Walgreens, Google Express, Farfetch, BlueApron and more, in over 100 cities, and are getting ready to scale to a LOT more.

We've also recently raised a [$28mm series B led by UPS](http://www.reuters.com/article/us-ups-deliv-idUSKCN0VX2U4).

We're currently looking for:

But you're saying that I should care more about the company. I'm asking why.
Not necessarily. Apple could simply delete all code modified to make that change, necessitating a similar amount of work for each phone unlocked.
My understanding is that when you install iOS on an iPhone, an Apple server signs the OS as part of a challenge-response protocol. The challenge includes a unique device ID, and I believe the signed iOS is only installable on a device with that ID. http://www.saurik.com/id/12 has more details.

Think about this in the context of jailbreaking to understand why such a facility exists. Apple doesn't want users to install their own modifications to iOS, and they also don't want users to install old versions of iOS that have vulnerabilities that would allow people to modify the OS.

One way you could implement something like this is to have a public/private keypair within the device and have updates encrypted with the public key; then design the device to only run an OS that it could decrypt with its private key. To do this well, you would need a TPM that did not allow the private key to leave the device, nor to be reset.
You will notice it most when Microsoft updates the look and feel of the standard widgets in a new version of Windows. The Wx app will pick up the new look automatically, the Qt app will need to be updated.
It's reported every year because the number is growing rapidly and it's a recent phenomena. Who are these people? Is the US losing exceptionally accomplished citizens for tax reasons? I'd like to know because if so then it isn't inconsequential. Sorry if it bothers you that this prompts people to be critical of these tax and seizure laws, but I'd rather know what's going on than be ignorant because reporting it discomfits you.

I know this sounds very tinfoil hat ish but I wonder whether something like this was the reason why Truecrypt shut down.
In no world can the FBI be viewed as 'combatants.' They're a civilian law enforcement agency, and the Geneva convention definitely _does not_ apply to them. Ethically, yes, they shouldn't be doing this, but we can't pretend rules of war apply to a civilian agency with 0 role in combat.
I've never heard any term except dyno (or dynamometer), but I much prefer those terms simply because it's more apparent to someone that doesn't have an understanding of engine & car testing.

I'm a fan of names that give insight into what the thing/product/service/company actually does.
Not at all, and I'm skeptical any PhD (myself included) would ever say otherwise.
