> IANAL. Why does the existence of the AWA allow such things that the FBI is trying to do?

Short answer: It really doesn't.

But if you can talk fast and convince magistrate judges to issue writs ex parte (no one is there to oppose you), you can get a lot of mileage out of writs that wouldn't survive an appeal. Most people won't have the time, money, or inclination to challenge them.

Even then, magistrate judges have been pushing back. The FBI's going to get slapped for this in the long run. But the long game here is that Comey was hoping public outrage against Apple would convince them to fold and play along with the writ, or nudge congress into giving it the powers it wants. The former clearly isn't working out, but the latter still may.

> The AWA seems to be a very small piece of law, and using it in the way it's being used seems against the spirit of it.

Bingo. It's also against established case law in the opinion of a very large number of people.

I understand the argument you are attempting to make, but you presuppose the masses are informed and always capable of making logical decisions which will not infringe upon the rights of the minority. Thankfully the Founders of Our Nation had the Foresight to protect its citizens from themselves they established a Republic.

>“ It is of great importance in a republic not only to guard the society against the oppression of its rulers, but to guard one part of the society against the injustice of the other part. Different interests necessarily exist in different classes of citizens. If a majority be united by a common interest, the rights of the minority will be insecure.”

This is the reason I'm still in Chicago. I have wanted to move to SF since 2010, but it just doesn't make sense for my (now) wife and I financially. Recruiters who have called me with job offers in SF just don't have a big enough of a pay bump to make it worth it. It really sucks, because we would love to move to the bay area, we just can't get over the amazing setup we have in Chicago.

According to cost of living calculators, I would need ~250k in SF to be equal to my comp in Chicago, and my wife would need ~135k. My salary increase to be at parity is probably doable, but from other people's posts, it would require a pretty good job that included RSUs. I'm also not in a 100% development role, which I think I would need to do in order to get that kind of pay in SF, and it would probably be hard to break into (plus I just turned 30, I'm an old man now, hah).

And that reluctance comes from being mentored by senior software engineers who have been burned by using the latest shiny, and appropriately mentor the junior developers against using the latest shiny. We .Net developers build mission-critial enterprise apps using only the .Net stack, and most senior .Net devs would applaud one in doing so. Now I'll admit that the .Net stack is a moving target. But I'd rather have one commercially supported moving target than a dozen OSS moving targets. No rational person likes having their head explode. Being "free" has nothing to do with it.
Can somebody please point out to me the obvious fact I am missing. Don't Apple design their security such that even they themselves can't crack it? Like storing hashed passwords, they don't want that kind of accountability. The media keeps suggesting that Apple won't do it, I thought it would be the case that Apple can't do it...

I'm sure they had the right ideas, but they strayed way too far from the fundamentals.

Remember that in Grove's time Intel was getting clobbered in benchmarks by the DEC Alpha chip and was struggling to keep up with the PowerPC consortium. It was through their relentless pursuit of clock-speed at any cost that they prevailed.

Unfortunately they slammed into the 4GHz barrier earlier and harder than the competition and went into a spiral of confusion for nearly half a decade. Adding more and more stages to their pipelines was the primary strategy for pushing higher and higher clockspeeds.

What saved them in the end was the very pragmatic and practical Pentium III platform, the one introduced a few years before Grove retired, not the outlandish and massively power hungry Pentium 4 architecture.

Grove did seem to keep the company focused on relentless incremental improvement. This is in stark contrast to the later Intel which showed unbelievable hubris with their VLIW effort thinking that people would spontaneously adopt a whole new architecture just because. Maybe they listened to their partner HP way too much as that company is quite clearly utterly clueless.
This court case is over. But the fight for encryption was never really in court anyway, it was in Congress and the White House. It became obvious over the past month that there is still a lot of education on encryption that needs to happen.

It probably started with a // TODO add file path system.

Then they just got to building and it just never got on the update finished list, and many developers started using it internally. Now it is hard to do, or there are so many devs noone thinks it is their job as it isn't completing their milestones for ship. These situations probably got thicker when they were purchased by Facebook.

Could have taken 1-2 days in early development max or even 5 minutes at the start, but now it is layers thick. This can happen to many systems either from external libraries, quick prototyping without cleanup or other reasons that just stick around. Then some unluckly schlup gets stuck with the 'Pathing Issue' that turns into a 3 month ordeal, everyone feels sorry for the coder and his life is ruined for months.

It could also be those situations where everything was done in '5 minutes' but ends up sapping 3 months of dev time fixing. This happens often in game development, 'Hey dude I whipped up an AI system in five minutes' and then it works but doesn't work, then ends up being the source of bugs for most of the project. Watch out for the '5 minutes' architecture.

Hopefully this isn't a sign of quality across the project.

>I think this is a super important characteristic for a great employee to have, but I don't know how reasonable it is to expect to see much of it in an interview. In an interview setting, the candidate is under a lot of pressure to come across as "perfect" in the sense that they want to appear to meet all of the expectations the interviewer has for them.

I would never hire someone who couldn't honestly speak to making mistakes and being wrong. We're human, and your ability to be self critical and learn from your mistakes is one of the single most important aspects in continued professional (and personal!) growth.

It should never be difficult to speak to a time you've screwed up. No one rational thinks we go through life with a perfect record, and no one has done it. Be honest.

Why specifically "scientific" research? Don't schools have large departments besides the sciences?
One of the best threads I've read here in recent times. Wish all developers, managers, and HR folk would read it. Can't say that I read it word-by-word so apologies if I missed, but are there any tech startups that provide tools and resources for pursuing such "open book" coding interviews? Or is there a business model here - think "reCAPTCHA for hiring". Solve stackoverflow bounties. Fix bugs in OSS projects. Everybody wins. Questions get answered. Bugs get fixed. Programmer candidates prove their mettle. Good candidates are identified.

Apple did try to design encryption that it can't break. But they also want to be able to fix bugs. So they can update the OS on the phone even if it is locked.

So by writing a new update, they could remove some of the ancillary security features that reinforce short passcodes: the "wipe after 10 tries" feature, and the "progressively longer delay between tries" feature. Without these, a numeric (short) passcode can be brute-forced in a day or two. This is what the FBI has been trying to force them to do: write a new update to remove these features. That's what Apple has been refusing to do.

BTW, if you use a long alphanumeric passcode, then it wouldn't matter if Apple was forced to push this update. A 15 character passcode with upper case, lower case, numbers, and symbols would probably be safe from brute forcing no matter how fast someone tries. But most folks are not willing to remember or type in 15 characters on their phone.

The -release RPM (which contains the yum repository configuration + GPG signing key) for any RedHat family distros is available over HTTPS. Check any of the links on this page http://yum.postgresql.org/repopackages.php#pg95 - all available over HTTPS.

The GPG signing key used by the apt repo for Debian and derivatives is also served over HTTPS @ https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc, and the instructions for use direct you to install it as such.

It literally matters not at this point whether downloads are delivered over HTTPS or not outside of anonymity (which is almost moot, because you are obviously downloading PostgreSQL or the few related packages in these repositories) since package signatures are verified.

So I guess what I'm asking is that if the above statements so trigger you as to garner your downvote, maybe a reappraisal of your worldview is in order. Or maybe more productive than downvoting would be if you could formulate in words what exactly about the above makes you uncomfortable.

> Sweden is about 6x more dense than Canada

Canada quite a high effective density -- something like 80 or 90% of the population live within 100 miles of the US border. Those statistics are not terribly convincing.

Better, I think, to note that Sweden has a high proportion of urban residents at 87%, compared to around 83% for Canada and the US.

No, the position most definitely had absolutely nothing to do with longest path or combinatorial optimization.

Anyway, my larger point is that what I've been seeing interviewing is that these tests are becoming much more common at US startups without companies removing/reducing the rest of their technical evaluation process, nor really structuring the problems to be a good signal.

In an ideal world where companies do take home tests right, I think its a great solution. But what I've been seeing more often than not doesn't support that, making it hard to support.

I'm really curious what you've been seeing at Starfighter. Are partnering companies still going on to do a full technical interview? Or does Starfighter largely replace their normal technical evaluation?

Ignoring the fun of the challenges themselves (which probably isn't entirely fair), the latter makes it very compelling for a candidate. The former does not.
