Sweet a T&M contract from the government, put the slackers on it or people who would like to work from a remote tropical island that serves fruity drinks with little umbrellas in them.
I believe that the way rulings have happened legally I could tell you to go fuck yourself with that warrant if you presented it to me. Also even if the 5th amendment argument doesn't hold up when this reaches the supreme court I don't know what legal responsibility one has to interpret data to assist the state in ones own prosecution. One of the better articles summarizing the current rulings is this one. I would think it is more akin to the safe combination or the something else going with my thinking that is interpretation of data. Also a search warrant says that you can go sort through my shit to see if you can find my stuff and that I can't stop you but I don't have to help you.
A 9/11 or Pearl Harbor like even seems to be a once in a lifetime event so I really wouldn't worry about that probability changing, and if it does change to be 1 in 100 then a lot has gone wrong to get us there. I'm more worried about the things that would get us there and the erosion of rights and the expanded search and seizure powers of government seem to be a way to oppress people who just might snap and turn our country into something that resembles Iraq or Syria. It isn't like Detroit or Baltimore are that far from that now.
None of it. Just because quantum computers, and quantum annealers may seem like magic with some problems doesn't meant they are. Breaking AES256 with a quantum computer still takes something close to the energy output of the sun over its entire lifetime (a couple of orders of magnitude) running on an ideal quantum computer, or the same energy required to crack AES128 on an ideal classical computer. It isn't like they are trying to crack RSA or a number of other public key algorithms (things based on the following problems discrete logarithm, integer factorization, elliptic curve discrete logarithm) have solutions that are trivial for quantum computers. Instead they are stuck with a symmetric key crypto that while quantum computers offer an impressive speedup it is still an ocean boiling difficult problem.
I even go a step further and will click on the ads here from time to time, mostly to ensure that./ gets something. Sites that have auto playing ads with sound get put into the ban list on my router and blocked everywhere so I don't accidentally go there again.
Hey I want total security from my government, Sadly they seem hell bent on preventing me from protecting myself from them as well as others who would do me harm.
I was merely making an observation of what I saw and most people either just used cash or card as the supermarket. I do wish the US would just have skipped the whole chip and sign thing and done what Europe did and just go chip and pin. The sad thing is that readers support chip and pin but the banks all did chip and sign instead. I didn't know cheques were still commonly used elsewhere in French society, as here the only time deal with them is when I get them from financial institutions, insurance companies, or from mail-in-rebates. I think apart from that most people who are under 70 just prefer the combination of cash+card. I also thought that the Europeans had non shitty electronic funds transfer ability, unlike the US, for things like that.
They should. The problem is that they have a an encrypted image which does fuck-all for getting at the unencrypted data assuming that Apple didn't screw up the encryption and instead decided to do a reasonable implementation of a well studied encryption algorithm. This ignores the actual issue of the device being erased after 10 PIN attempts. Having never dealt with apple hardware I do wonder if one just imaged the device they could do the following:
1. attempted 10 PINs 2. let it get wiped 3. put the image back on the device 4. repeat steps 1 to 3 until you unlock it
Can this be done or is there something that would prevent that? I now want to see if I can do this an android device, maybe some time when I won't care if my phone is out of commission for a few days when I screw the pooch when attempting this.
Electronic transfer in the US still often entails paying a fee....checks do not.
And that is the problem. When I bought my property up north the closing company would only accept either a cashiers check or electronic transfer. I figured an electronic transfer would be cheaper as a check would require printing one and and still doing all the work behind the scenes that is needed for the electronic transfer. Nope, a cashiers check was $7 the electronic transfer was $45
Set them on fire. Seriously the last time I used a check was when I was paying rent and that was about 16 years ago in the US. When I lived in France a few years after that the French looked at me like I was retarded because my bank cards didn't have a chip in them. Last year when I was in Spain they looked at me again like I was retarded because they had to find a pen since my bank cards are chip and sign not chip and pin. Since you are in France I doubt you will ever need those.
I suspect that your theory has played a part in Tim Cooks reasoning. This is how people should be framing the debate around this and if you pick the right argument you could probably get both the Ds and Rs to agree. For the Rs just mention that the IRS would likely be able to get access to this and mention Lois Lerner, for the Ds just say J. Edgar Hoover. Also mention that the worst president in their eyes, Obama or Bush, would also have this ability. Of people I have asked about this it seems that those who are very knowledgeable in technology or math are against the FBI. Those who have or currently serve in the military or have a law enforcement background tend to be more in favor FBI (75% to 25% split). Most of the rest seem to fall into a similar spread mentioned in the article. Interestingly I happen to know a number of people who were highly persecuted, Hungarian Jews during WWII who later fought the communists in Hungary after WWII, and they are the ones most against the FBI which is why I think your theory has some traction.
Fuck I wouldn't work in San Francisco or any of the surrounding are unless I was getting paid $150+ per hour. $30/hr would be about a 50% pay cut and I live in a substantially lower cost area of the country. Also I don't have to deal with people in the Bay Area which would require additional compensation.
Hey the company I work for has in some of their offices beer vending machines and in a number of those offices they also have beer on tap in the company cafeteria.
For those who aren't married there are places where you pick your battles, and this is one that while you may win the battle it will cost you more than you would like.
She is a porn actress, right? I mean, mostly soft porn, but that's what she's famous for as far as I can tell. Or does she have some other talent I'm not aware of? Genuine question, I don't keep up with celebrity news.
I think it is because she is a master of tautology.
So they are admitting that they are so fucking stupid that they don't even bother to monitor ISIS's own public magazine where the mastermind of the Paris attacks was basically terrorist of the month? I think Admiral Michael Rogers is becoming a bit too much like General Buck Turgidson
This a thousand times. To me death would be too kind and by prolonged torture I would go with a lifetime of endless excruciating pain with no way to interact with the outside world. A world like that would be a very bad place for all.
even a 1024-bit key (considered rather weak I believe in modern day standards)
Yes and no. For asymmetric (public) key encryption 1024 bit is considered rather weak but this isn't a public key crypto system, instead it is a symmetric (private) key system. The neat thing about modern symmetric key systems is that they are very strong and if there were a 1024 bit version of them you would not be able to crack them with any computer (quantum or classical) that could be built in this universe. That said even the 256 bit versions of AES, TWOFISH, SERPENT, are all pretty secure even against quantum attacks. Attacking them with a quantum computer makes the work equivalent to attacking the 128 bit version of the same ciphers on standard computers which even with an ideal computer would require about the energy that our sun will put out over its entire existence. Things get worse as that is just the energy to cycle a 128 bit counter through all possible states and not do any of the actual decryption which takes a lot more energy, and to really fuck things up even our best computers are orders of magnitude worse than an ideal computer.

A 6-digit passcode will require 1 billion attempts.
I think you meant 1 million attempts given the other numbers in your analysis.
They should.

Yes American banks suck balls, but after 2008 I figured every one else in the world knew that.
Nickels, pennies and dollar coins break the :you can just weight coins" in the US.
If only we had kept with the silver dollar sized dollar coins instead of the carter quarter sized ones.

Hey the company I work for has in some of their offices beer vending machines and in a number of those offices they also have beer on tap in the company cafeteria.
Up until this moment I had forgotten that, curse you. Now I wonder if any of the computer systems have a blocker for Jenny's number.
For various reasons that ain't happening.
It's because you like getting laid isn't it?
For those who aren't married there are places where you pick your battles, and this is one that while you may win the battle it will cost you more than you would like.
I just give them my work zip code since it is the only other one than my home one that I know.
