I've had enough Wolfram crap for the next 10 years.
I don't really know what personal issues you have with Wolfram, and actually I don't care either. I also don't care if he's a complete lunatic.
The only thing I care about is the quality of this particular article, and actually, it was a good article. So leave your weird interpersonal issues aside.
I see you've fallen into the typical USian trap of thinking America is the center of the world. Hint: it's not. Not everything that happens is because of America.
This article is good because Ada is the most controversial person in computer science. Some people claim she was a genius who invented computer programming, and others claim she was a fraud (Babbage told her what to write), gambler, and opium addict. Wolfram spent a lot of time reading through the original documents to figure it out.
According to Wolfram, she was educationally at the level of around a PhD candidate working on a thesis. She had gotten to the cutting edge of math
knowledge of the time, and then had started working with Babbage, with him being kind of like an adviser. Looking at the machine, she did have some fresh perspective and ideas (like you would expect of a high-quality PhD candidate), and she did understand how the Analytic Machine worked. Wolfram predicts that if she had stayed alive, they would have been able to finish the Analytic Machine (Babbage was horrible at project management, and he would have helped her with that).
Ada comes out looking really good. She was not a fraud, and she did understand what she was doing. Unfortunately, you can't really call her the "first programmer," or the "first person to write a paper on Computer Science," but that's ok. She was a bright, energetic person, with some interesting ideas, who died too young to really investigate them deeply.
Every time the system creates a key package, it creates another copy of the single-use key, encrypted with a hidden 'master key' supplied by whoever ordered the backdoor.
Serious question here......how would that work from a technical perspective?
Presumably they want to have a "master key" that would unencrypt any iPhone drive, but each user has to have their own unique key, as well. What kind of encryption algorithm lets either of two keys unencrypt something?
There are things you can do......some manufacturers put plastic along the bottom edge of the car, where the cars are most likely to corrode. And of course, you can always paint the car.
All in all, if you can find a way to make cars lighter, that's a huge win for agility, speed, and fuel economy. It's a good thing.
Obama got nothing done while his own party controlled Congress for two years. Instead, he waited around for Nancy Pelosi to make decisions and lead. That is possibly Obama's biggest shortcoming- he does not lead.
Yeah, it would be more accurate to call the ACA PelosiCare.

Calm down cuz. Some of us here are qualified to understand climate data. The way you're talking you make it sound like there's a high church of Climatology and we have no choice but to believe what the high priests say.
That's not necessary. If Feynman could explain QED well enough that a layman could understand it, then laymen/women can also understand climate science, it's much simpler than QED. The difficult part IMNSHO is actually statistics: figuring out how to accurately average out all the temperature readings collected across the planet, etc.
If they wanted to actually accomplish something, they could agree to fund fusion research. A practical, safe fusion reactor would make a huge dent in CO2 emissions.

Babbage taught her how to do it.
What country do you come from so I can mock your nations word for their own people?
I would tell you, but Slashdot doesn't allow the unicode to be written!

Nope. The whole world has to pull together if we want to reach the targets.
it shines on us every day. and with it we could end fossil fuel use now. today. with current technology.
Well that's the problem, it doesn't shine at night. Or in the clouds.
I don't think Ada Lovelace qualified for that, since she was Babbage's mistress,
Apparently not. She seemed to have a very good relationship with her husband, and he was excited with her work.

This story perfectly illustrates why the climate agreement is completely useless.

That's a really obscure hint lol. Yeah, France does a lot better with nuclear than Germany, for sure.
Wouldn't it then be fairly trivial for a user (or easy to use utility) to delete the 2nd copy of the key, removing the back door?
Not on an iPhone, you aren't the one who controls the device.
Eh, I'm no-one.
tbh I think you're trying to flame.
I suspect he got censored for saying, "so kindly fuck off." Most people don't take kindly to that.

Got it, thanks.
It's super-addictive.

I can't speak for TNT, but there are people who really really love the food network.
Yeah, you're right, you need to have some sort of feedback loop with your customers or it won't work....
You want to hold yourself out as a qualified expert on climatology?
I don't even want you to believe me.
It may temporarily plateau at $45, but then it should continue to creep downward as new innovations are implemented.
That's true, the reason it's plateaued at $45 is because that is the cost of production.
