Mayer hasn't quite shone with her performance, but do you think anyone else would have done any better?
Yahoo may be beyond repair, but someone else might have actually tried. Someone else might have made bold changes to Yahoo. Perhaps bought Netflix, who knows. Instead, she has made a bunch is tiny irrelevant acquisitions and upset the workers with changes to benefits. In no way has she justified the 10s of millions of dollars she has been paid.
No, that's not what this is about at all. The government has a search warrant for this data.
They also have permission from the phone's owner: the San Bernadino Health Department. It's important to recognize that this phone was Farook's work phone. There was never an expectation of privacy for this phone.
I don't know how they can claim the water is OK, when they are not testing it.
Other people haven't been as lucky as the people you quoted. Even the best quotes you could find are hardly ringing endorsements. One day of "gross" water out of 60 means that the water is probably dangerous most, if not all of the other days. E.coli can be dangerous at much lower levels than someone could detect it through the taste of the water.
the government suspects the phone contains unknown information related to ISIS (say a contact) then prohibiting access to that information could arguably be providing aid to ISIS.
There is approximately zero chance of this. The phone in question was his work phone. He destroyed his personal phone, presumably with the knowledge that it might have actionable information on it. Since he did not destroy this phone, it is very unlikely to have any actionable information on it. The FBI is pushing this case to set a precedent.
All the FBI needs is a version of iOS that skips the passcode count limit and the delay between passcode entry attempts.
Actually, the FBI needs no such thing. The phone in question was his work phone. He destroyed his personal phone, so there is approximately zero chance that this phone has any data that would be useful to the FBI.
The FBI is using this issue as a convenient case to set a precedent. There are no 4th amendment issues because the phone belonged to his employer, who already consented to it being searched.
The issue is not about whether breach of personal info would harm individuals whose info belong to, it is how much DAMAGE it is.
I think that you are 100% wrong here. In order to proceed with a lawsuit, you have to show that you have standing. Without harm (any amount of damages), you don't have standing to sue. So this ruling is NOT about how much, instead it is about if ANY harm occurred.
Tell us if he actually does sue. Otherwise, do we really care what he is considering? He might be considering a run for President, He might be considering competing in NASCAR, he might be considering any number of things, but until he actually does one of them, it's even more uninteresting.
Historically the fines charged tend to be minute - small fractions of the cost to make whole
Remind me again how much BP has paid out? Or does the "B" in BP mean that the normal rules don't apply, despite the fact that it is more of a US company now than the name would imply?
Incidentally, where are all those people on/. who want less regulation? Why are they not posting in this story?
They are not asked to decrypt the phone, they have been asked to 1.) remove firmware protection that wipes the device after 10 unsuccessful access attempts, if enabled, and 2.) provide firmware that somehow circumvents the built-in progressive delays so that brute forcing the password is possible by hooking up some device to the phone.
And Apple knows that, if this is possible, the FBI will send the firmware to every FBI office, the CIA, NSA, etc.. Eventually, it will leak, compromising the security of all Apple phones.
I wonder what happens if a valve actuator fails, and valves don'/t open when expected? No bent valves, but lots of stress on parts beyond expected, unless things get beefed up
Unless you actually have water in the engine, there is no danger. There have been engines designed to selectively hold the valves closed in some cylinders to boost efficiency. The pressure is much less than if there was a power stroke and the piston operates against a spring (the compressed gases), so any power used in compressing the gasses is regained.
Conventional engines will be destroyed by getting more than a tiny amount of water in the intake, so I don't see any difference here.
The main reason for the inefficiency of the infernal combustion engine is all the HEAT that is not used to expand gas volume/pressure.
Actually, in gasoline engines, a lot of energy is lost through pumping losses. That's why there have been attempts to make engines run with some valves closed (both intake and exhaust for one or more cylinders) when full torque is not needed.
You still have many more points of failure that can leave someone on the side of the road with a dead engine, and a more complicated system to diagnose and repair (read $$$). Where is the gain?
Power, economy and perhaps maintenance costs (no need to replace those timing belts) . Do you need any more?
Furthermore, it's probably easier to diagnose since the on-board electronics can monitor the condition of the solenoids.
The digital solution introduces at least two and possibly more points of failure per piston Loose or frayed wire? *BOOM* - destroyed engine. Mechanical failure of a single lifter? *BOOM* - destroyed engine.
Not likely. Why? Most likely scenario is that the valve is opened via electronics and closed via a spring. Failure == closed valve. No permanent damage.

ObamaCare isn't socialism, it is designed to break the most expensive healthcare system and replace it one that is "fair".
FTFY.
"best healthcare system".. ROFL.
A healthcare system that does not provide meaningful healthcare to a significant proportion of the population cannot possibly be considered "best". If you have money in the USA, you can get excellent care, but this is true in countries that have systems that are funded by the taxpayers since in those countries, if you want private care, you can still buy private care.
As an example of how bad the healthcare "system" is in the USA, government in the USA spends more per person, averaged over the total population than the UK does, yet government provides healthcare for only about 25% of the population, instead of 100%. If you think that is a definition of "the best", you have a very odd concept of "best".

Free enterprise doesn't lead to anything, except monopolies.
FTFY. Without adequate controls in place, monopolies will tend to be created. Even Adam Smith understood this.
The local farmers would be selling the flour regardless of who makes the cookies.
In most cases where aid is provided to poor countries, this is *not* how it works. Instead, food is shipped in from abroad, disrupting the entire food delivery chain, starting with the farmers. Care to try again?
In this case, what is being disrupted is local Internet access. The long-term effect is likely to make *real* Internet access less available to the population. Perhaps you think that is a good thing?
And then the local farmers go out of business or stop growing wheat because they can no longer sell it. Now the population become entirely dependent on those free cookies.
Was it really a good idea? Or just one that appears good when you only consider the short-term impacts?
Any offer like this distorts the market. Long term effects are likely to have bad outcomes.

Perhaps people will start to take computer security seriously, if they see that it has an immediate impact on their budgets.

Wake up. You live in a shithole.
Wrong. Notable in the report: nearly 70 percent of Rioâ(TM)s sewage goes untreated, being dumped or running off into waterways like Copacabana, where the open water swims are scheduled to take place in just 2 and a half years And there are plenty of similar links. They are not going to test the water for viruses. What does that tell you?
