Setting aside the fact that you are completely ignoring step 2 (I assume since it is not as easy as you wished it was), what exactly does the amount of effort required have to do with it? Whether the level of effort required to create it is high or low, the government is demanding that Apple produce a thing it does not have.
You seem to overstate the complexity of the task required here
I don't believe so. There are two steps here:
1: Build an OS that allows access to the data without knowing the key. For this particular phone this isn't that hard, since it doesn't have the secure enclave. The only thing that has to be done is to remove the timeout/lock after failing to enter the PIN so the FBI can enter all 10000 combinations from 0-0-0-0 to 9-9-9-9 and hope that the guy didn't use a longer PIN.
2: Install this OS onto a locked phone that can no longer sync because the Apple ID password was changed.
Just like building the Taj Mahal in two steps: Step 1: Place a brick on the ground. Step 2: build the Taj Mahal.
Yes, when the party in question has the key to the encryption, it is acceptable for the FBI to subpoena the party in question to provide the key. As part of due process the party in question can then attempt to quash the subpoena if it has grounds to do so.
This is different than "write a new operating system and install it on this phone so that we can access the data without having the key" (or, if you consider the lavabit case: "rewrite your application to collect the user's key so that we can subpoena it from you" or from the traditional safe perspective "invent a new drill that can drill into your drill-proof safe"). What I want to know is whether the FBI was even planning on paying Apple for their work in developing a new operating system or were they just expecting Apple to slave away for them for free?
Here's a thought question for you: set up a webserver to serve up foo.js with caching disabled. Load the webpage that loads foo.js, then open the source of foo.js in a browser. Prove that when the browser fetches foo.js a second time in order to display its source, that the foo.js you're looking at now is the same foo.js that is running in the window. (This is the current behavior in Chrome, YMMV on other browsers)
That you can even make the argument means that you already, implicitly, trust the server on the other end.
Inaccurate. Accepting a page without HTTPS means that I already, implicitly, trust the DNS server to have directed me to the correct server and all of the hardware and software between that server and my client to have sent me the page unmodified.
Accepting a page with HTTPS only requires trust in my client, the server, and the third party that signed the certificate.
According to http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.... the best way to go about it is to pick an engine that ScummVM supports (SCI, AGI, or Wintermute 2D) and make a game for that engine.
How is there no difference between your food being poisoned at the source and some middle-man coming along and adding the poisoning later? It would certainly seem to matter for me as a consumer desiring non-shitty lettuce: Should I switch to a different grocery? Or should I switch to produce from a different farm? But for that I'd need someone to tell me the truth as to who is responsible for the shit.
If anything, the "farmer" — to continue your tortured analogy — poisoning his produce is even worse than a reseller doing it afterwards.
(So wait, there is a difference?) I don't see where I claimed it was not bad. The only thing I claimed is that it's not the same. What does the price of tea in China have to do with Netflix's support of network neutrality?
If you don't understand the difference between the farmer shitting on his lettuce then selling it to you and the farmer providing clean lettuce to the grocer who then shits on it before selling it to you, then you are so blinded by your love for allowing corporations to shit on everyone that you cannot produce anything meaningful in this discussion.
Netflix deciding to shit on their own customers was bad, but it has nothing at all to do with the ISP shitting on Netflix and their customers which is what network neutrality was supposed to be about.
Watch out when working for stock options too, I believe the IRS counts the difference between the strike price and the actual price of the share as normal income, not capital gains so you get a nice tax bill when you exercise those... assuming, that is, that you CAN exercise them. Hopefully, you're not stuck working for worthless options to buy a $3 stock for $5.
How would they adjust for it? My company doesn't keep a database of who is working late at night, and even if we did, these researchers wouldn't have access to it.
How does the company pay you for your hours worked if they don't know what hours you worked? I think your company doesn't pay based on what hours are worked, in which case there is no adjustment to be done.
Rich people buy oceanfront property. Once enough rich people have soggy feet, I have the feeling that they are going to demand that something be done with other people's money to fix the problem (even if it's just bailing out FEMA's flood insurance account after it gets drained buying out all their now-worthless million dollar homes).
No. What is really scary is that with "national security" as an excuse to prevent even a judge from seeing this database, TPTB doesn't even have to bother finding dirt on anyone. "We have proof that you are a terrorist. No you can't see it, but everyone knows we see all and know all and therefore cannot possibly be wrong."
The 12" iPad Pro starts at $799ish, so the question basically boils down to "Do you want an iPad Pro sized e-Ink display for $100 less than the iPad Pro?"
As the other people pointed out, ongoing support will likely be a problem, both in terms of warranty replacement (with only about 60 in existence) and software updates.
Personally, I *DO* want a reader this size and I'm considering getting this one. For $699 I'd kind of like a color display, but it looks like all of the eink triton displays on the market have an extremely gray base so I think color eink just doesn't work yet.

Thanks! Now I don't feel bad at all for surfing slashdot during work hours.
Until CEOs are automated, they're going to have to be paid somehow.

The script generates the password entirely on the client
Without HTTPS to be sure that you're receiving the script you thought you were, how can you be sure?

Resolution ain't done until I can put it up on the wall and have people think it's a window.

Are you suggesting that the company violate their anti-poaching agreements?

So pretty much like every other multinational megacorp with hundreds of divisions each jostling for a share of the budget.
Did he abdicate? Or did he just throw a half-dozen layers of middle management out of the plane?

As the cost to monitor people decreases, more and more people will be put under watch for increasingly trivial reasons.
Sorry, it seems your backup has developed cancer.
When the government asks me "But what if terrorists kill you!!1!"
Then I'll reply "at least I died on my feet instead of dying on my knees, which I probably would anyway because you have a shitty track record"
