Interesting! So you can't tip restaurant servers legally? Most point of sale machines for restaurants ask you to select a tip from a list of several standard optiins that usually puts 20% in the middle to make it seem normal, and like 15% is reserved as a mild complaint. So its not exactly undiaclosed, you can guess pretty well what it will be.

> One of those possibilities [of the widespread connectivity to IoT devices] is certainly connectivity that is now completely outside of the control of the "owner" of these devices... By putting a cellular modem and SIM directly in a device... it will be able to report home whether the "owner" wants it to or not. The vendor will retain control and will be able to, for example, disable the device at will.

This an aspect of the increasing separation between “owner[ship]” and control that was predicted by James Burnham in his 1941 book The Managerial Revolution. (https://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/oi/authority.20...)

Because any regrowth solution would be quite expensive, time consuming and prone to problems.

It would likely be performed by surgeons and monitored by orthodontists there couls be multiple teeth comming out, missaligned and so forth.

I'd much rather do things the old fashion way than risk all sorts of problem down the line, have multiple trips, wait months upon months for my teeth to regrow.

As a last resort, or instead of an implant, yeah, sure!
But afik, the money you pay for materials are smaller than the surgeon's fee, so I see no incentive for a surgeon not to give you natural teeth if he could.

It could be that he'd make more money that, way, less checkups and so on.

I don't think we should expect companies to be moral agents. It's not that they shouldn't be, but more that it's impractical because what's right and wrong (or simply acceptable) depends on who you ask. Furthermore, companies willing to operate immorally have a competitive advantage over those which don't -- if Apple didn't cooperate with authoritarian governments or exploit developing countries for cheap labour they won't stay competitive and a company that does those things will take its place.

The answer IMO has to be regulation. We have to cut off the incentives companies have to act immorally. The problem of course is that this could then make the economy as a whole uncompetitive so politicians are equally unlikely to take action.

Not to be a doomer, but on the issue of China the West has probably waited too long to take action at this point. This would have been easier in the past, but now China has become so dominant, and with Western companies and economies being so dependant on China for labour and manufacturing it's hard to imagine any significant business or political intervention happening.

In fact, this is likely just the beginning, in the future when China is the core market for most multinational companies political intervention basically becomes impossible. No company is going to pull out of their largest market (especially if it's growing faster than the US).
As much as I appreciate the cynicism of your comment, it doesn't really answer OP's question which started off with:

> Suppose I want to design an internet-of-things device with security in mind […]

Meanwhile, half of your answer is spent discussing whether or not OP might need internet access, when in reality this is already a given. In short, you are talking about general "smart devices" but smart devices ⊋ IoT devices.
I don't know. This was an interesting read for me because I recently had an experience that was largely the opposite.

I made a game using free time after work that ended up being featured on most of the big mobile gaming sites, as well as within the App Store itself (on the top banner of the Games bit). It didn't make lifechanging amount of money by any stretch (per hour I think would have just about broken minimum wage by now), but a decent amount considering it was something I was doing for fun. The experience has made me very excited to a) continue to update this one and b) get started on my next game project, which I think has the potential to reach more people. Or at the very least, turn out to be more interesting.

If starting from nothing I think it's all down to either having a snappy and unique concept, and/or a snappy and unique visual style. The best bit is that neither of these things necessarily require lots of time to pull off, just luck (or whatever it is). I have no industry connections whatsoever and zero ad budget, but if you do something that hasn't quite been seen before, and that people/sites will have fun writing/talking about, it can get you a foot in the door. Maybe I'm being too optimistic and underestimating how lucky I got!
American corporations also help thugs, racketeers, and police target you. Did you not recently see the scandal with police and repo agents (and anyone else willing witu the money) paying for location data of users?

Besides, can you not simply uninstall or not use Yandex or Mail.ru?
Don't get angry. You said that you can't imagine a major conflict in Europe. That's ignorant, because Europe has never been war-free for more than a few years at a time, so I pointed that out. If you meant to say that you can't imagine something akin to WW2 or something, then just say that. Maybe you were talking about Western Europe.
There is a difference between this and VK (owned by Mail.ru) basically having a web interface for police or anyone with money to read your messages.

You can bring a lot of “Apple is just as bad” outsider evidence, but I don’t know anyone who had their data leaked by Apple.

Yet I have dozens of anecdotal cases of people harrassed and targeted by using Russian networks. I mean you can basically buy my phone call history and parking surveillance for a few bucks online.
> Would it be possible for someone to hijack the SIM card in such a device

Depends if it's using a physical SIM card or an eSIM module like Apple does that's entirely provisioned from the device's userland.

> and use it to get free calls all over the world, including long-distance?

Depends on the plan assigned by the vendor / phone company. If it's a data only plan, then no.

> Would that be illegal? Would anyone care? :)

Depends on which jurisdiction you are and what you're doing. A couple of dollars worth of charges on a company that sells millions of "smart" devices? Probably won't even get flagged. A couple hundred dollars for calling a phone sex line or someone on a satellite phone however? That will cause someone to have a look.

It is reasonably likely that, in a pinch, the US uses iPhones to target missile strikes. There is no way the iPhone isn't being used in cooperation with the NSA spying program either.

It isn't new for corporations to cooperate with the ugly parts of government. I don't really understand why Apple is being singled out here. They are better than average because at least their abuses are fairly obvious and they don't make plays to control people's data like certain other companies.
There are other, less questionable sources. For example, this report by Nankai University: https://web.archive.org/web/20200507161938/https://ciwe.nank...

They especially criticize situations like the following

有多次新疆劳务人员在组团干部的带领下，在接近到达目的地的火车上接到当地公安部门不允许下车的命令，结果导致很多令人尴尬、懊丧、失败的现象发生。有几次经过解说后被允许下了火车但又不允许出站台，出了站台又不允许进厂，进厂后却不允许上班工作，已经工作几天的甚至勒令必须立即回新疆老家，否则公安部门经常以各种理由到企业上门检查、询问、调查，致其根本无法正常上班干活，而企业不得不委屈地找各种理由解雇本已经适应工作岗位的工人。这些情况已经发生在几个省市区，当然有的省市区干脆压根儿就不允许任何新疆籍人员进入。所有这些，都是在冠冕堂皇的以地区安全稳定为由、为幌子下进行的。

Of course that's not the kind of unjust treatment that tends to be highlighted in Western sources (I found this report via an article that focused more on "通过劳务输出的方式，既减少了维族在新疆地区的人口密度，也是感化、融化、同化少数维族人员的重要方法") but it's definitely unjust treatment.
Likely. Why is everyone acting like this is some high conspiracy or even blaming the entire project - this was probably some lazy dev that didn't want to deal with the hassle of including the licence and just copy pasted the class. I used to do this when I was learning to code, I often reimplemented stuff already available for learning and would just copy paste large chunks. I didn't publish any work back then and I realised it was a bad habit because I didn't know what the code does - but I get where it comes from.

It was fixed and nobody was harmed.

The outrage in GH issues is ridiculous.

PGP keys used by members of kernel.org are cross-signed by other members of the Linux kernel development community (and, frequently, by many other people).

Hi,

Do you want to become better at being grateful?

For me systemd created more race-conditions than it fixed (especially if the old init system started things serially).

Getting it right in serial fashion is fairly easy, but since systemd insists on doing as much as possible in parallel you really need to have every dependency correctly configured (which is not always that easy to get right if things take a couple of seconds to get going..).

Also medieval and a Renaissance scholars were by definition more “elite” than the average European of the day - it would make sense to compare their lifespan to those of similar socio-economic status today.

In many cities you can see that the lifespan increases with the average household income of the neighbourhood, and if you look at say, Monaco, one of the richest per-capita cities, the average life expectancy is 85 for men and 93 for women, over 20 years longer than the average European scholar.

Because investors believe that the equity of the company is undervalued compared to the future cash flows. I'm sure plenty of poor investments have been made on this basis and you can't keep it going forever, but it seems pretty sensible that in some cases a company has great future earning potential without present profits. Especially on a site run by a firm specialising in such investments!

The literature here is of poor quality. For a salient example, look at this: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3020503

Where a giant group is compared to an extremely tiny group and the differences between them are used to make sweeping generalizations about everyone. When this is the quality to expect, it's just good practice to be skeptical.

Edit: Even if this weren't the case, the enormous spread of estimates when it comes to revenue impact really says it all.

Boeing has lost the public trust not only in the US, but internationally.

Inherent instability aside, fact remains the general perception is that Boeing retrofitted engines too large for 50yr plane design necessitating structural modifications which compromised its flight worthiness. As a result, software had to be written to compensate for this, which unbelievably, relied on input from a single sensor--iow, single point of failure.

The lost of trust is further exacerbated by the fact that Boeing/FAA knew there was high probability of another crash after the first catastrophic incident but refused to ground the planes continuing to let them fly while issuing deceptive public statements regarding the planes safety.

Boeing's largest market is China, which justifiably, will not allow the 737 to fly within their territory.

> Our opponents wish to destroy Free Software

> Our opponent’s true target is not Richard Stallman; their real aim is to destroy the FSF by thoroughly infiltrating it (like they already have with organisations like the OSI and Linux Foundation). These people even started an online petition calling for RMS’s forceful removal and for the entire board of directors at the FSF to resign from their posts.

So, you're either forced to defend Richard Stallman and accept what's going on over there, or __YOU ARE THE ENEMY OF ALL OPEN SOURCE__.

There's overwhelming evidence against such a broad statement.
