Ah that could definitely be. Back when I switched from Java to C# there was a big difference, even just from having access to lambdas, LINQ, sane generics, etc. But it sounds like Java has gotten better on all fronts, which is great. The main thing I wanted to get across is that while C# has its roots in cloning Java, it ended up being far more than just a clone.

While the legal maneuvering is interesting, I'd like to talk more about the technical mechanisms. Is it actually possible?

Snowden said the FBI is full of shit[1] and of course the phone is hackable, citing an ACLU report.[2] This report states that one could "easily" bypass the auto-erase-after-10-attempts function by popping out the Flash memory chip, copying its contents into some sort of test rig wired in its place, and then restoring it whenever it gets erased.

This is an interesting modification of an attack scenario laid out in an excellent review of iPhone/iOS8 security by Matthew Green:

"Since only the device itself knows UID -- and the UID can't be removed from the Secure Enclave -- this means all password cracking attempts have to run on the device itself. That rules out the use of FPGA or ASICs to crack passwords. Of course Apple could write a custom firmware that attempts to crack the keys on the device but even in the best case such cracking could be pretty time consuming, thanks to the 80ms PBKDF2 timing."[3]

What this theoretical rig changes is it essentially allows a custom chip to run on the device (namely a delete-proof Flash chip), bypassing the need for Apple to write custom firmware. So a typical 6 digit one would take under a day to crack, based on the 80ms cost per attempt.

So, it does seem possible to crack the pre-A7 phone in question with this rig.

However, and here is where it gets interesting, Apple has said conflicting things about current phones. One the one hand, ever since the A7 they've added a hardware-level escalating time delay between failed passcode attempts:

"On devices with an A7 or later A-series processor, the delays are enforced by the Secure Enclave. If the device is restarted during a timed delay, the delay is still enforced, with the timer starting over for the current period."[4]

This would in theory make it infeasible to attempt this kind of rig on a current iPhone. Even a typical weak passcode would encounter an hour-long delay at least once every 10 attempts. It could take years to bruteforce all but the most predictable passcodes.

However, Apple has also said that "Yes, it is certainly possible to create an entirely new operating system to undermine our security features as the government wants."[5] This would seem to suggest that software alone could enable bruteforcing, and this implication is in stark contrast to the statement on hardware defenses within the secure enclave. (Did they mean possible only on pre-A7 phones? It sure feels like they feel there's more at stake than that.)

So I don't know what to believe at this point. The ACLU seems wrong in suggesting that this particular rig would work on anything but old pre-A7 iPhones, based on the current secure enclave's time delay. But Apple has outright stated that GovtOS could enable the cracking of iPhones. So... how?

Absolutely. But if the court challenges fail over this hypothetical warrant, there's a reasonable expectation for compliance. We live in a rule-based society. It works because people, and especially the government itself, are expected to follow those rules.

Parts of the world currently inhabitable will become unlivable. In particular, Dubai, which is one of the most inhospitable places I've ever been on earth (combination of humidity + high temperature) - becomes lethal by 2100 in some projections - http://edition.cnn.com/2015/10/27/world/persian-gulf-heat-cl...

Hot temperatures are much more difficult to handle than cold temperatures for humans. With proper clothing/goggles/face masks, I've been downright cozy at -43 celsius in northern British Columbia - spent hours completely comfortable. In Dubai, on a hot, humid day in September, I can manage maybe 15 minutes of exertion before I have to escape back to air-conditioning.

It's good to see this new pricing model. It's pretty obvious, a lot of the really hard problems that Enterprise would want solved, are being developed by commercially driven ventures. And by going this route, GitLab makes themselves WAY more attractive for these 3rd party vendors, to want to develop for GitLab.

Atlassian, with their Marketplace (https://marketplace.atlassian.com/), clearly spelt out how they could make you (3rd party vendor) money, if you developed for Bitbucket. GitLab, until this recent price change, never had one.

Plus this makes sense. GitLab's greatest value, is its foot in the door for Enterprise, and this is good first step to leveraging it.

I don't agree. Faster travel is always better - whatever the mode of transportation. Once you hit a certain speed and price point, it will radically change the lifestyle of people. For example, the hyperloop with 30 min travel time between SF and LA would mean that people could literally live in one city and work in another city.

5 useful hidden features of android
I used to blame the rich, but the fact is that they are through Capitalism only feeding human desires. In this case I think it's not them, it's human beings with unlimited desires and all these other behaviors tuned for maximum exploitation of the environment, combined with a highly efficient system which encourages just that. People in general are to blame for the way we are acting on this planet. Creating more and more people, being irresponsible, etc. We all do it together, every time we do anything we are partaking in the human conspiracy to destroy the environment, or as we like to call it the economy.
"They didn't have it easy like Microsoft did where they were virtually the only game in town. They almost lost their position to AMD on more than one occasion, and were under constant pressure from Motorola, IBM, Sun, MIPS, DEC, and others all intent on capturing a dominant position in the highly lucrative desktop and server markets."

You're way overstating that. You're whole post, but especially that one, totally ignores the concept of lock-in due to ISA, OS, and library backward compatibility. And first mover advantage, patents, and the Microsoft/Intel partnership. It's amazing how successful a product can be when attempting to clone or ditch it can sink an entire business or its profit margins. And especially if it's cheaper than UNIX/RISC or mainframes on top of that. ;)

Note: I'm an Intel and Windows opponent who can't do shit for specific customers of theirs with legacy apps due to the above. They want benefits of other things but can't switch. I can say same about certain mainframe shops. I'll be able to say same about Oracle/Java and certain cloud shops 10 years from now. I bet you $100.

We went from less than 5 million humans on the planet to more than 7 billion in 10,000 years. That's a 1,400x increase. So yeah, we're pretty much already breaking all the rules. What's one more. We will pay for it, but we'll deal with it how we deal with these sorts of things, as problems to be solved. And we'll find solutions, but the Earth will be a totally and irreversibly different Earth. Less life, less biomass, more difficult and unhappier place. But we'll make rhetoric about how everything is much better than it used to be, and prescribe more and more drugs and alcohol to help people deal with it. It's how we live, how we have lived... it's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.

The issue is that Valeant's business model of buying assets and firing everyone else except sales and marketing was/is pretty attractive to Wall Street. Pharma's return on R&D investment has been horrible, so when Pearson said "we don't do R&D", it got some people pretty excited.

Regardless, that business model has been proven to be a poor strategy. Good drugs come from R&D. Can you snap up a bunch of "ok" drugs and sell them through shady techniques? Sure, but it catches up with you eventually.

Take a look at their product line.[1] Jeeze. It's either branded medication that has no real use (since you can get products that are just as good for cheaper) or brand name drugs where the generic already exists. If either a doctor or insurance company was paying attention, none of those drugs would ever be used. Maybe I'm going overboard with that statement, but it's mostly true.

Valeant never was a pharmaceutical company, it was a sales and marketing company for a bunch of low quality drugs.

I might be misunderstanding that article, but it sounds like the company captures the co2 and then converts that to fuel. Then they sell the fuel, which I assume will be burned.

It definitely reduces total co2 released, but sounds more like recycling than actually improving the existing problem. Did I understand that correctly?

I think it depends on what angle you're looking at it from. The article does kind of read as: "hey look, we could have made 5x more sales if we'd been smarter about piracy". Not everyone agrees with this, and I think this argument is unhealthy in general.

I'd wager that if you made piracy completely impossible, most of the current pirates - who tend to hail from regions where the international pricing is prohibitive - would simply opt out of buying it. This may even have a negative effect by limiting the viral advertising indie hits like Punch Club have ("hey, what game is that on your phone", etc).

This is not to defend the act of piracy as such, but I think if someone wants to have a productive "facts and solutions" discussion, they should frame it differently.

I'm not sure how this makes sense. These tags are just standard context bounds, which are extremely useful and quite awesome.

You make it sound as if these tags were some kind of special feature added to the language, or context bounds were solely invented to support these tags.
Are you suggesting they go out of business like Lavabit? That is the stand you're taking when you disobey orders to keep government requests secret. And, I'm not sure a large corporation has that option. How could shareholders accept a fine for which they're not permitted to know the details?

Remember when Snowden first revealed the Prism program? All the tech companies issued similar statements saying they want to tell people more, but did not have permission from the US government. For example, Apple said,

> Like several other companies, we have asked the U.S. government for permission to report how many requests we receive related to national security and how we handle them. We have been authorized to share some of that data, and we are providing it here in the interest of transparency. [1]

Also, I'm sure Yahoo would've loved to rally support from its users when the government was threatening to fine them $250,000 per day for refusing to hand over data, but they were not allowed to tell anyone [2]

I do believe the government was doing what they thought was right to protect public safety. However, they don't understand technology. Ted Lieu is about the only guy in Congress who does. We need a bit more representation there to have our voices heard, whether through electing Congressmen with CS backgrounds, independent lobbying like the EFF, or just better tech reporting and questioning in the White House daily briefs.

The existence of the FISA courts is something we should be scrutinizing more. Former NSA Director Hayden pointed out in one interview that we're the only country who has such secret courts. With these courts, democracy is circumvented. Currently, the public is not able to participate in the discussion of what's right on some major issues that have far reaching impact.

> ... and major die-offs of some marine organisms followed due to strong acidification of the oceans.

This is the part that I'm worried about. Regardless of what happens to global temperature or climate, the damage we've done to the oceans is insane. As Alex Cannara explained[1],

In 150 years we have brought the chemistry of oceans to
a point not seen in 300 million years.

He is referring to the large shift in ocean pH caused by our release of over 30x the amount of carbon than the ocean can sequester. This is particularly bad problem because the process that sequesters atmospheric CO2 is based on marine life shells/skeletons being sinking and ending up as limestone.

We have already disrupted that process, with some areas (such as the north Atlantic) are already seeing species starting to fail from the acidity. At some point in the next few decades, the pH will be sufficiently acidic that CaCO2 becomes soluble and any species with a shell goes extinct. Never mind the massive food change disruption, this stops the main CO2 sequestration process.

I don't think we can stop this; it's already too late. While there are ideas about how this could be fixed, we aren't going to accomplish any of them. So maybe we should start getting ready for another event like the Permian–Triassic (P-Tr) extinction.

As someone who lived in China, this seems like it would be pretty fun.

Vulkan's lower-level access certainly allows performance concerns to become the domain of the engine rather than the driver. Games standardizing on a few big engines seems to be doing more for linux than when operating systems standardize on a few big APIs (which is necessary but not sufficient).

Coupled with other recent news (the AMDGPU effort, 900-series firmware for kernel 4.6, ..) i'm cautiously optimistic about the future for 3D on linux - but mostly i'm cautiously optimistic at the cross-vendor adoption of Vulkan. Today a lot of enablement comes via vendor-specific tech (LiquidVR/GameWorks), and Vulkan has kept the scope open for extensions just like OpenGL did. I hope the industry has learned to avoid fragmentation after some of the horror stories from early DirectX[1].
