Why would local PD want to "track citizen's traveling habits?" They make money by giving speeding tickets and fighting drugs. Why do they care, what would be easier to track with by Stingray, about ur midnight run to gross fast food or random addresses in the city -- they happen to observe you at -- you travel to?
With likely over 10,000 distinct authors of code, most without any type of mandated review process... Dude, I wouldn't be worried about 007 and Edward Snowden spying on you with Ubuntu.

Disproportionate sentences like this don't enamor people to their government, or to put it another way "unjust laws serve to bring all law into contempt."

2 years is the minimum sentence for a CFAA conviction. The judge was as lenient as he/she could be.
Give me a break. It wouldn't even take that long to crack the iOS firmware on the phone to allow for brute forcing (the only software feature the FBI wants to bypass). They want the entire OS source code? That's like demanding all of Boeing's schematics and blueprints to see how a seat is engineered in a plane. This is just harassment. Apple's revenue was $300b with 2/3 being overseas; Obama is shooting the nation's economy in the foot (yet again).
None of the articles I Googled showed numbers. I'm skeptical the public side of the government can compete with the private business sector. Facebook split $900k over 210 people (or a whopping $4,300k per person) for their bug bounty program, and I can't believe that many people put that much effort into cracking top-notch security at Facebook for that little. In contrast, "black market" (I'm pretty sure vulnerability disclosure isn't illegal, yet) prices for an iOS RCE are $1m+, and I bet our government would pay more for it.

At the current state of affairs, almost all IoT devices are programmed using development environments provided by the semiconductor (e.g., http://www.nxp.com/products/so...). And most of these are a composition of open-source tools (i.e., GCC, Eclipse, etc.) with some proprietary interfacing software (e.g., something like JTAG to program the chip with). The vendor-specific IDEs (e.g., customized Eclipse) often come with networking libraries (i.e., something BSD sockets-esque for Internet) they made and/maybe/ some simple threading library (i.e., no operating system). The programs compile to real-time code and this code is then "flashed" to the chip/flash using something like JTAG. That's it. Security nightmare. The "obfuscation" of JTAG and compiling to ARM (versus x86) has let A LOT of companies do some crazy programming on IoT devices. My IoT camera has a physical kill-switch I use when I get home (i.e., I unplug it).
The Internet needs P2P encryption at the link-layer. When more than the sender and receiver can read a message in a network it creates a financially exploitable imbalance of power in routing. Major routers can inspect content and shape traffic in IPv4. The fact that AT&T can look at what I look at on the Internet and prevent me from seeing things their CEOs disagree with is absolutely terrifying and a relic of IPv4. The Internet may very well need legal regulation in areas (e.g., FCC could enforce business licenses for Internet business), but it shouldn't be regulated at the transmission. Regulate where the content is stored, who sent it, those who access it, those who promulgate it, etc.

The flash memory on the iPhone can be flashed from an external computer connected to the flash chip via an interface (http://www.mouser.com/Semiconductors/Memory/Flash-Memory/_/N-488w1), so software solutions probably won't work. Maybe you could try to use a hardware burned cipher in a "security chip" that can't output its key to engineer around that...
I think the most dangerous thing is what Tim Cook said: the All Writs Act. When has the gov't forced companies to affirmatively make them something for their investigation? I can't think of an example from the physical-world.

A problem with computerizing government is that they make the rules. Idk how English government works, but in the US tickets are issued by a county government who also prosecutes unauthorized legal practice cases. I'm sure any county would miss $3m.
You'll always need low-level and high-level skills. C and C# are my choices. Assembler and knowledge of computer architecture is great too. Computing is always being pushed to the limit, so established computer engineering techniques (e.g., algorithms) will need to be implemented in a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... no matter what the "platform."
This is so flamebaity.
I think men and women tend to conflate sexuality and amorous intent because the latter includes the former for most. It becomes sexual misconduct (under Title IX and VII which governs most school/university claims) when it's physical (rape, touching, etc.) or talking about doing those things to someone. There's absolutely no facts in the article beyond describing they were both drunk, she is married, and she claims she blacked out while he claims she was awake.
I find it a little suspect that she claims he was kissing her incapacitated mouth -- that seems pretty boring even when drunk. One plausible explanation is that, like most, she got a little horny when drunk, felt guilty about it, told her husband, they fought, then she claimed she was incapacitated to him. If you're blackout drunk, you aren't waking up several hours after you passout, dude. But there's no facts just troll bait and arriving at the legal conclusion of "sexual harassment" happened.
I think funding numbers can be deceptive about the engineering accomplishments of a tech because I'm sure that money gets returned if the ten people running Magic Leap blow through $1-2m without results.
Here's the patent (490 pages...): http://pimg-faiw.uspto.gov/fdd...
For $4.5b, I'd pirate the heck out of that patent.
Extortion is a federal crime. Call your local FBI office. They actually do investigate and prosecute this type of thing. They're only human; they don't know until you tell them.

Google already hashes known criminal-images-which-shall-not-be-named-by-name and scans for it. This isn't really intrusive because there can't be a SHA-256 false positive. Having Google do this versus banning encryption and having AT&T sniff the wire is preferable. Google already scans your crap for ads anyway:P

No. It sounds like what many first year associates do at big law firms.
But maybe everyone that works there is politically "liberal?"

Around the late 90's, if I recall correctly.
you mean IIRC
When did the word "hacker" become synonymous with "being a douchebag with computers?" I missed this cultural shift somewhere.
