Then he was careful enough to not be seen by any of the witnesses, was careful enough to use only the guns that the killer had, left no fingerprint on said guns, but he was stupid enough to leave a digital fingerprint?
Yeah. Right. If you want to eliminate our rights, at least come up with something that can't be debunked by some random idiot on the net within 5 minutes.
Well, you have to admit, nobody really bothered defending the important ones that protect your freedom and privacy, but the one that can actually backfire gets defended like it's the only important one.
Good luck living on this in Silicon Valley. Welcome to the world of the working poor.
Quite frankly, it's getting ridiculous. This is, by the way, also the reason why you can't find tech workers. Why bother learning something when you can make more money in management?
You might also remember that a lot more happened in the 60s that made the US the top of the world science hub. But let's stay with the moonshot, while the engineering was important, the whole mission hung on WAY more than the ability to make a large rocket go up. There's logistics, process management, raw manpower and on top of all an economy to power the whole deal. Frankly, making a rocket go up was certainly the most visible of the whole endeavor, but in the end only the tip of the iceberg.
You mean like the guy I went to school with who now makes a (very comfortable) living customizing cars? Legally so, too, which isn't that easy considering our rather insane laws concerning what's "legal" in cars.
He's a tinkerer at heart, he loves cars and he loves working on them. You don't learn that in a school, though. You learn it because you WANT to learn it, and whenever I remember anything about our youth I remember him either working on a car or dreaming up something about one.
This is the kind of guy that can make a comfortable living or even get rich "working with his hands", because to him it's not simply a 9 to 5 job. That's his life. He didn't do a 3 years course learning it, he basically spent his life learning and improving that skill set, simply out of love for it.
This is rare and certainly nothing I could copy. Then again, I have my own area of expertise where I don't simply do a 9 to 5 job. This is how you get good at what you're doing and this is what makes you stand out, enough to make people give you money to do what you're good at for them.
What matters is passion for your work. Yes, it's easier in some areas than in others, I give you that. In the end, though, if you're good at what you're doing, you will not be poor if you manage to find out how to monetize it.
If you had told me half a century ago that there could be any land that might eclipse the US in terms of technology and progress, I would have called you insane. Remember? The time when the US built those huge rockets to go where nobody has gone before?
20 years ago I would probably have said something along the lines of "Yeah, Japan. but they can't compete in raw production power"
Today, I'd probably ask if there is actually still any research and development done in the US, and whether there is actually any US-owned corporation left, or whether the Chinese are finally done taking over.
And when you're done, what's a good age of consent? Or... don't. Because I can promise you that if this discussion starts, it derails the whole thread because there are two things that no two people on this planet can agree on: What toppings belong on a pizza and what's a good age to start fucking.
There is no chance for a rational discussion about that. You'd rather find people have a level headed discussion about politics, drugs or religion.
Odd. It's not really what I observe. From my position it's still MBAs ripping off everyone else and playing people against each other to keep them occupied.
If you have people skills, what the hell are you doing in tech? There's way more money to be made in management.

I'm pretty sure someone from another country will pay, don't worry.
Dear companies, in general: Somehow you'll pay for us finding your blunders. Either you pay us, or you pay the damage the one does we sell it to.
Why bother? That guy had prior arrests, his prints are on file, create a fake fingerprint and unlock the damn thing.
Here's all the information. I'm pretty sure some of your three letter agency buddies can crack the encryption within a millennium or two.
Then he was careful enough to not be seen by any of the witnesses, was careful enough to use only the guns that the killer had, left no fingerprint on said guns, but he was stupid enough to leave a digital fingerprint?
Yeah. Right. If you want to eliminate our rights, at least come up with something that can't be debunked by some random idiot on the net within 5 minutes.
He'd probably fail to see the threat.
You expect the judge to actually understand cryptography?
I admire your faith in due process. I'd fully expect him to slam Apple for contempt because of it.
What if they cannot? As SHOULD be the case.
Well, you have to admit, nobody really bothered defending the important ones that protect your freedom and privacy, but the one that can actually backfire gets defended like it's the only important one.
That is kinda odd, don't you think?

Dig up Jobs. Even dead he's more competent than the Kook running it now.
You're listening wrong.

What's not to get? Can you honestly watch the world and NOT get it?
Easy solution: Get a free education and "work off" the social debt. Stay for X years or pay us for your education.

Unfortunately not on Americans. Maybe it's the lower education levels that suck.
Cut them some slack, they worked on this for over a lightyear!
Define "child":

Why bother, I can just read the news and get about the same story.
The difference maybe being that it's trivially easy to remove any and all spying from OSS without compromising functionality.
There is no way you could have any sensible discussion about this topic, forget it.
Ok, now I get it. Seems me and whoever made the summary both suffered the same reading error.
Odd. It's not really what I observe. From my position it's still MBAs ripping off everyone else and playing people against each other to keep them occupied.

So it is 89.95 plus 6.55. Do I read that correctly?
