Apple devices from the iPhone 5s and onward use a "Secure Enclave" which is basically tamper-proof hardware key management.
This phone in question is the 5c, so Apple might actually be able to attack it. Unfortunately, this will make the judge think any iPhone can be attacked by Apple.
Although, I'm really not clear under what authority the Judge believes he has the power to compel Apple to do all this work against their business interests. It used to be they'd have to threaten, in secret, to put the CEO in prison to get this kind of cooperation. Now a judge just commands it? #ussa
hrm... normally a Wikipedia fan in the economics section, but this is a little too simplistic.
Market failures are typcially held to be scenarios where the market cannot achieve a solution - not ones where Pareto efficiency hasn't [yet] been achieved.
Interestingly enough, many regulators cite market failure where regulations prevent market solutions from being offered. e.g. Nuclear energy insurance. Beware of their circular reasoning.
Personally when I buy computer PSU's I look for 85+ Bronze or whatever rating term they're using. I'm not sure who adminsters the seal, but something like UL for efficiency ratings on wall warts is entirely feasible. I'd certainly look at an efficiency claim on my next razor before purchasing - I spent an extra $30 on the last one to get the Li+ model for similar reasons.
Don't worry - prices will raise $2 each and the carbon output caused by the economic activity increase required to cover the additional cost will overshadow the savings from the mandate.
Everything is easy if we only look at first-order effects!
There's a story from ancient Rome about a wealthy man who wanted to find the best singer in his city. So he put out a call for all of the women in the city to come to his mansion to compete in a singing contest. Two women chose to compete. At the appointed time the man asked the first woman to do her piece - it was pretty bad. He immediately awarded the prize to the second woman.
This story is often used to illustrate how people will jump to "there ought to be a law" non-solutions while ignoring the better methods, but really it speaks to the nature of any human who has not been trained in rational thought.
stock firmware on consumer routers has been lowest-bidder crap since the product space began. The *WRT projects, some of Apple's gear, and probably Google's new device would be the exceptions.
I found a 54G the other day at a client site that had be running a DD build from 2009 without missing a beat since it was installed. Makes you feel bad for the hardware engineers who work on these things. We might assume the Belkin/Buffalo/ASUS folks who went open source had hardware engineers who finally ousted their psycho software managers.
> I don't know who, but it looks like John really pissed someone off.
One one hand, in a Sanders/Trump race, McAfee might get some votes, which the one-party/two-styles government cannot allow.
On the other hand, rumor is he was pretty close to perfecting a "love potion" using real neuropharmaceutical science and had some 200 women from the town at his compound, so he had to be run out. So, count all those furious husbands among those who wish him a slow death.
>I really don't see what advantage a pager has over a phone these days
Look at the Verizon coverage map. You only exist in the red areas. Some of us need to exist in the white areas.
But be sure to multiplex all alerts to pager and SMS - pager frequencies have fewer holes but they can exist. I've never missed an alert that went to both.
Yep, that has been my experience. When I was in high school, in an accelerated/advanced science/math program, most of the kids were cheating on their lab reports. I had one teacher, in biochemistry, who really taught me the value of personal integrity. Most kids that was lost on, unfortunately. Surprisingly enough that lesson is what taught me to rely and adhere to principles, rather than doing whatever it takes to get ahead - I may not be rich, but I'm happy with who I am as a person.
Perhaps not coincidentally, the kids who went on to mostly cheat became ardent socialists, and I wound up an ancap.

The best thing about Sanders's economic policy is that it's utterly fantastic, impossible thinking, entirely ungrounded in reality. Which means Congress won't go for it unless it's a Democrat majority, so that's a NOOP.
Don't get me wrong - nobody who is running is at all qualified for the job, but when John fucking McAfee is the best of the field, this country is in huge trouble.
If you're in the US, losing the entire Russian government market is a blow to the balance of trade and local economy. This single contract is just representative of everything that's happening across the industry - it's far larger.
But Americans seem to WANT NSL's and are willing to sacrifice the entire tech sector, the basis of their economic growth, for an increased police state. Maybe they'll get to pick the size of their grey tunics.
Interesting point you almost made there - *we* should be using a separate browsing mode to avoid this when using another's computer. Browser vendors could make a clean-profile CLI launch easier, to support user privacy. Real users need support on occasion.
Republicans aren't "free marke"t or "freedom" people - they're theocratic corporatists. You might be thinking of libertarians - they're more of the "do whatever the fuck you want unless you're going to hurt someone else" mentality. They might think that an SJW company would run itself into the ground in pretty short order, but whatever - they can destroy their company if they feel like it.
That's an idiotic security model, and wired should know it.
Wired probably does, but so what? The surveillance vendors are their customers. They only write content to get you, their product, to visit the site, so they can sell your private information.
They're not going to screw over their customers for your benefit. If you go away, the unwashed masses will still stay and they'll never notice. I can't see why Wired would change anything.
Tomorrow you won't have an option. It will become a mandatory insurance and liability device.
It might be cheaper to have drivers who agree to tracking. That's fine - people who don't want to be tracked can pay a little extra (I would, and I haven't had an accident claim in decades). As long as there are people who don't want to be tracked, an insurance company can profit handsomely from it, and there will be a market offering.
The trouble will become when a government forces insurance companies to require tracking. But if that's the case, then the problem isn't with the IoT or the tracking; it's that you've got something that claims to protect your liberty forcing you to engage in certain types of commerce instead. Yeah, yeah, yeah, good livestock management practices on the tax farm - I get it.

>NASA has a dirty little secret that they don't want to talk about -- landing people safely on Mars is hard and they still don't know how to do it
I remember President Bush talking in '89 about how NASA woud be landing astronauts on Mars c. 2011. NASA is inept, like all the other agencies.
Meanwhile, Musk is working on robots to turn Mars soil into concrete landing pads so the construction workers can start moving in on the VTOL rockets.
Construction workers who will probably be women operating robots. Hrm, Musk hasn't announced the mecha company yet.
Soon. There are nanophotonics coatings in the lab that should be able to shift frequencies on demand once the fabrication tech gets figured out.
As long as they don't require voice commands to turn on or switch inputs , then we just don't give them the WPA2 key, right?

All value is subjective. Back to ECON101 with you.

That's OK, we still have four months for the "dust on the detector" story.
Science is continuous, not discrete - stories that begin with "It's Official" can be safely filed under, "we'll see".
