every school is on anti-bullying initiative

I remember those. They used them to punish me for fighting back against bullies.

every teacher and parent is hypervigilant about all kinds of nonsense issues (i.e. stranger danger)

Well of course the teachers want to protect their students from strangers. Mostly so they can molest them themselves.

Man. Convicted felon.

Hey, did you hear the one about the Marine who died in a bar fight ?

Sure, you may shoot a couple three, but do you think you can reload before the rest beat you into a grease stain?

(It's okay, I know the military brainwashed you to believe you're invincible. It's not your fault.)

Most people are not that sort of quivering weakling fearing being called names.

And yet that's the exact reason why those things happened. But you'd best realize that most people actually are afraid. That's one of the primary findings of the rotherham case. That's also one of the findings of the san babernandio attack, and pulse. And they're afraid of losing their job if they speak up. Of being attacked by a lynch mob on twitter for saying something. Of friends and family doing the same. I'll bet $20 that it was the exact same thing this time too. Or it could simply be the outright refusal of muslims inside the community deciding to ignore it, that one happens quite often too. Sometimes the local mosque is complicit to boot, which was the case of the parliament hill shooter here in Canada.

How, then, to distribute income on which the economy depends?

Social Justice, obviously

Wiping out working class livelihoods is fine and all, but that leaves us with the problem that they still get a vote every election. That needs to be fixed.

Let's add another to that list, take it all the way up to 11

Oh! The ironing!

But it doesn't change the fact that there's still only 10,000 4-digit passcodes. They could even do a hacky solution like finding a way to disable the wipe after incorrect attempts and brute forcing from there. If they can pick apart the chips, I'm sure they can find a way.

Of course, that's assuming Apple actually wants to help, which I would guess they probably don't (and they shouldn't IMO).

The court order may prove moot.

The important part is simply overlooked by the coverage.
Complying with this court order is not about one phone or one crime.
It is about "The First" phone.

One common rant is that this crime is so evil that that we need to do anything
and everything possible. This ignores the reality of what abuses can be
done for First+N phones.

Any court order: civil, criminal, domestic, international must be complied with.
    China, Oregon, Iran, France, Germany will all be able to demand the service.
    All can demand the service be delivered inside their borders as there is no technical reason to not.
Apple has no legal footing to deny any order issued by due process including secret FISA warrants.
Divorce, employment actions...
Apple is not indemnified if there is a flaw in their code.
Apple is not in a position to deny the service even for a stolen or border confiscated phone.

A secret warrant could demand the secret bits be moved from Apple to an undisclosed site
where Apple would no longer have control.

Should the method escape Apple other complications follow.

Recall Apple has skin in this game. Apple Pay, iTunes are serious
cash generation tools that if compromised would risk vastly more than
the considerable value of the present value of Apple.

Point of sale payment is a global issue and may be sufficient
to exclude this writ from the "All Writs Act" that seems to be
central to the FBI strategy.

The other implication is that a writ can compel any company to
develop and engage in any service. "Any service" risks a lot.
There is nothing to exclude FISA writs from forcing Intel to,
from AT&T to, from Comcast to... develop tools and services
to deliver to "Bob" at a loading dock someplace.

Today Apple may be able to sidestep this for a number of months
with this hack:

This seems small to some but how large is a fulcrum?
"Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world."
Add overreaching under the color of the long arm of law and the lever is in place.

Note well this investigation has no bounds or time limit.
Today: http://abc7.com/news/fbi-serve...
the FBI searches Farook's brother's home months after the crime and long
after the FBI knew who and where he was.

There be dragons here....
Pay attention.
This is a big deal.

Well, appears Congress has changed their mind today.

Really,
Like private pilots know all the rules, from private to commercial rules, etc... Guess what private pilots don't give a d*mn about commercial rules & vice versa....
Like pilots don't ignore NOTAMS and use outdated VFR charts.... Guess what pilots from commercial news copters & police to private ignore or bypass NOTAMS all the time.

It's all about air traffic control--that why the manned airspace have been fairly safe over the last 50yrs. Though now that we have way more manned planes than imagined, we're now clipping wings on runways.

We're unfairly throwing drones against every textbook rule possible... that even manned pilots ignore nowadays between experimental, private, commercial and freaking hot air balloons. Drones are being put on a much higher standard cause no one really knows what to do and the manned pilots, who have the biggest voice in the room, are arguing the wrong points: VFR/IFR, pilot certs, and pilot control; when it should be focused on airworthiness/autonomy, and traffic control.

Obviously, no.

Teacher, Mark Berndt, Pleads Guilty To Feeding Students Semen-Laced Cookies In Los Angeles School

LAUSD Molestations Spark Grim Federal Complaint

Berndt allegedly kept a jar of Vaseline on his desk which he used to masturbate in class, and sometimes wore a "freakish" Mickey Mouse costume with women's tights, the parents say. They claim the school's principal Martin Sandoval walked into the classroom as Berndt was videotaping students but let him off with a verbal warning. The parents claim LAUSD ignored those red flags and other instances of "freakish behavior." "LAUSD ignored multiple prior student complaints about Berndt and a district attorney investigation. LAUSD ignored parent complaints and failed to detect the massive number of lewd acts committed by at least three active child predators on one small campus for years," the complaint states.
