That's a little alarmist. Apple at least appears to take iOS security seriously, so if there was a known flaw that was actively being used to extract data in the wild it would get patched very quickly.

Why do assert that Android phones are just broken? Even with traditional full device encryption without specialized hardware support, it is very difficult to extract keys from a running device without some sort of known vulnerability.

I find it highly unlikely that anyone could build a simple device that someone like a State Trooper could use to pull usable information off an encrypted phone made in the last two years old with any kind of reliability.
For me the question is who CREATES jobs. Startups create jobs, big corporations acquire then shed jobs.

How can my business benefit from AWS Pt 5: Networking and Content Delivery
geofft's answer is funnier, but I think the more likely answer is this:

Realistically speaking, cryptocurrency-related crime is never going to stop being easy and profitable unless there is a massive increase in both a) government control over the internet and b) coordinated international law enforcement, since these crimes are usually international. Since libertarians typically oppose both, they are incentivized to make crypto-related crimes-- even when they're the victim-- seem like no big deal to avoid helping to fuel an outcry that might cause politicians to take action and bring about a) and b).

Granted, that's all quite speculative, but empirically, I have seen quite a few people get robbed blind of their cryptocoins and be remarkably sanguine about it, and I'm struggling to come up with another explanation.
It's interesting...my father-in-law is a lawyer, and while he's a very nice guy, he has a certain mindset to look at things from the perspective of legality, rather than what's morally right or wrong.

For example, he had a hip replacement a couple of years ago and received a handicap placard so he could park in the handicapped designated parking spots. He's much better now and doesn't really need it anymore, but he keeps getting it renewed (I guess they don't really check to make sure you're still "handicapped"). Sure, it's technically legal, but there are probably truly handicapped people (in wheelchairs etc.) that could use those spots much more.
My family had ADT years ago and when we'd be on vacation and something triggered the alart it would take the police an hour or so to show up. This was in a small town too where they had nothing to do. If you're bleeding out, I doubt you'd just lay there for an hour.
That assumption once applied to Made in Japan. If you go back even longer, it once even applied to things made in North America.
They all pretty much suck, there are some alright ad-hoc type of single-device options (downside of those is absolute reliance on a cloud-service)... but if you're looking for an integrated system for a property you own there's nothing decent.

"The ability to grow really fast." -- Paul Graham

More specifically, we normally think of startups as businesses where you can do the work once and then sell it multiple times, while in a normal small business or consulting shop, you have to do the work for each customer. There's a pretty big grey area - enterprise software companies often need a significant amount of customization for each customer, while with the sharing/gig economy, whether you can "do the work once and sell it multiple times" depends on whether you consider "the work" to be the service the customer is paying for or the service of connecting an independent contractor to potential customers. But it seems to work pretty well as a functional definition.
Regex acceleration is hard for sure when most regexes are small.

Consider where I'm coming from, though: apps don't use the GPU for simple 2D graphics (think rectangles and images) and barely ever use it for compositing, which are cases in which the GPU obviously performs very well. Sure, it's hard to do hard things on GPU. But apps don't even do easy things on GPU.

You think the most successful lawyers are politicians? It's usually the other way around the most successful politicians are lawyers.

Obama, Clinton(s), Ghandi, Lincoln...none of whom were "successful" lawyers, but they all did just fine in politics.

As to your point about laws/code not preventing horrible things...they often times do. But no one is claiming laws always eradicate behavior (they can and have) that's why we put people on notice and create penalties because we know people violate the laws/rules anyway. Say Bill Clinton lying under oath, he was caught and the only one who disciplined home was the Bar of his home state: totally disbarred him. In other cases, the law itself might be immoral -take the British colonial law against Indian's making salt, and Ghandi violating it and being arrested, even after, as a politician he was able to change the law and the norms.

>Prices are set by the relative leverage and political power of various competing groups, subject to local variations.

Show me some examples of cities with high prices due to high speculator/developer/landlord power, that don't also have population growth and restrictive zoning.

And how does your theory explain the apparently enormous power of speculators, developers, and landlords in San Francisco, where they are subject to draconian legal restrictions?

How do you explain the apparently nonexistent power of speculators, developers, and landlords in a low-rent city like Milwaukee, where tenants' rights are minimal and developers can build pretty much whatever and wherever they want?

>investors and speculators tend to own policy

Are you suggesting that investors and speculators are secretly funding "grassroots" opposition to the developer ventures they also fund? Because the people who show up to planning meetings to speak against development at least present themselves as existing residents and tenants concerned about crowding, shadow, and gentrification.

>One is a change in government policy towards building housing to increase access and lower costs

So you agree that prices are kept high by government policy to not build housing.

Then how is what I said "not how it works"?
Seems like the company made a mis-aligned decision to go with Amazon for distribution when it is not the right fit for the product.
And the risk of keeping inventory value that you're never going to sell. Amazon takes their speakers, but will never send the unsold units back. Making expensive speakers according to MRP projections with no reliable demand is a time-bomb for a small company like this one. Especially if they're already unsatisfied with Amazon's performance, why would they risk thousands of dollars worth of product for no reason? It doesn't seem like they're trying to scale-up to be Bose. They seem to just want to hang out, make money, and make diesel speakers.

> It’s interesting to compare this to an analysis from the Washington Post of real murders in America. Based on this text analysis, a fictional murderer is about 2.5X as likely to be male than female, but in America (and likely elsewhere) murderers are about 9X more likely to be male than female. This means female murderers may be overrepresented in fiction relative to reality.
It may be obvious, but plenty of people do it. Whether it's odometer fraud like in the article, or taking up smoking because your friends are doing it, plenty of people are pressured into things they feel they shouldn't do. The author found it difficult to say no, in part because they were family.

I think something which makes such situations difficult, is that the other party, having decided to commit crimes, take drugs, invest in a pyramid scheme, etc. has decided that the risk is acceptable to them (survivor bias probably comes into play here), and it can be difficult for them to empathise with someone who doesn't feel the same way.

It's all hard until you swim in those waters for a while.

I've got two answers that I would probably consider.

#1: debugging what ended up being a hardware problem. I was working on a device with a microcontroller and it had a sleep mode where the micro would program an RTC, shut itself off and the RTC would trigger the board's wakeup circuit when its alarm fired. I'd already told the board designer of two or three hardware bugs that somehow (surprise!) turned out to be my software bugs. So this time I was a little more cautious. There was a more senior software engineer working with me, and he told me to check the schematic. I looked at the processor manual and the board schematic, and followed the traces to make sure I was doing it right. And I just couldn't find out what was wrong. So the senior sw eng said, "well, ok, if you're sure, then just probe the RTC pin with a scope." Wow. A o-scope. WTF is this gloriousness? So I got to learn a bunch about how to go from the board schematic to the board layout, how to probe, what all the stuff on the scope was about. Sure enough, the RTC alarm went off on schedule but the trace showed some funny stuff that indicated that there was a design error in the board somewhere (I didn't understand the details, but IIRC a cut-and-jump of the prototype made the bug go away).

Motto: It's never a hardware design bug. Until it is.

#2: This bug I learned a good amount from. I would see frequent misbehavior in my code where it looked like multiple subsequent sessions were being corrupted somehow, perhaps from a previous session. I was certain that I was releasing resources from the previous session and destroying all of it. I watched my code hit my `boost::shared_ptr<foo_t>::reset()` and so clearly it was now gone. Right? Well, shared_ptr<> not all it's cracked up to be. So I went back to read about conventional advice about shared_ptr<> and people would frequently suggest boost::weak_ptr<> where appropriate. I mistakenly thought about these as a dichotomy for some reason. But that was no good because I couldn't share my weak_ptr<> so it's not really useful. Except -- wait -- the vast majority of the time I'm propagating my shared_ptr to places where they don't need to share it beyond themselves. So my design would actually be better if I shared the shared_ptr as a weak_ptr anywhere other than Right Here. In doing this redesign, I realized that the weak_ptr promotes itself temporarily by effectively asking "hey is this still allocated somewhere?" Turns out that other thread using this resource would occasionally take slightly longer and wouldn't decrement its shared_ptr until after the new session had started, which would mean that the old resource was never destroyed. After the redesign in this case where the background thread loses the race it would just fail the weak_ptr<> promotion and harmlessly skip its activity.

Motto: shared_ptr<> and weak_ptr<> help preserve an ownership metaphor. Which code Owns this memory/resource and which code is just "borrowing" it?
Many Chinese goods traditionally have had a reputation of low quality.

This article uses the US as its example for a "modern society." However, our education levels are drastically lower than many European nations who are indeed becoming quickly non-religious. The most extreme levels of average education correspond with the highest level of secularization in the Nordic countries. As with many other things, the US is the bizarro outlier here, not the norm among industrialized nations.
Not necessarily. The US has a of other benefits over those countries often. You can't treat the decision as mostly all or nothing based on access to universal health Care.

There's also the idiotic presumption that only their "lovingly handcrafted" speakers could ever provide value.

8 tips to improve your Mesosphere Marathon performance
This is interesting but I've always thought we should do it in such a way where someone could take say $100K out of their 401K to start up a business. This money is sitting right now and doesn't help grow the economy.

The company would be eligible for tax credits if the company fails at a lower rate and spread across five years. So say you and a partner start a company and document the percentage of this money that is spent on taxable wages. The company fails and you apply for the "startup tax credit" for future earnings. You would be able to get a $10K deduction per year for five years on your federal taxes if you put this back into your 401K. This means that you get half your money back. Your deduction can't be higher than the federal tax you owe in any of these years.

You get to try starting a company with less risk. The government will likely get lots of taxes that may actually be in excess of the up to $50K they gave you in credits since this $100K is being spent and taxed and reallocated many times over. I don't have this idea fully fleshed out but that is the gist anyway.

>How is Amazon even possibly a good place to sell this kind of an item?

Because the vendor making that mistake only focuses on Amazon's very desirable millions of customers. The vendor then thinks it's more reasonable for Amazon to accommodate the vendor's very long lead times -- instead of the vendor having to adjust to Amazon's baseline of typical customer expectations.

The part that's missing from the vendor's thinking is that Amazon accumulated "millions of customers" in the first place by not catering to vendors that took 6 weeks to deliver books and CDs.
