The security of the iPhone is hinged upon OS binaries signed by an Apple security certificate. The FBI wants Apple to sign and/or produce binaries with weakened security. Having achieved this, the FBI and all parties in possession of said binaries simply have to swap out the old secure binaries for their version since the phone trusts anything signed by Apple.
Losing information is losing information. It doesn't matter what marketing BS you smear around it, a fact is a fact. Whether it makes a difference to the end-user is a subject on its own. 3 and 2.999999996 for many things are perceptibly identical, but in fact are not. That rounding error in another context may well spell disaster.
I think paper copies of votes would work better. IIRC the main reason stood up for going electronic was because Floridian geriatrics can't figure out how to use a hole punch, and/or stay within the lines. So, take the "best" of both worlds. Vote electronically, but, create a printed copy of the vote. The voting machine shows the paper copy to the voter, behind glass, and waits for their confirmation.
Perhaps you're not a US resident and can be forgiven for your ignorant and irrational assertion... Suffice to say even painted in the best possible light that is a naive suggestion. Name one state where this has been successfully executed. There have however been local municipalities wherein attempts have been made in that direction only to see a state legislature shut them down.
That would make sense, if a very large portion of the population wasn't under the belief that the President is in charge of all levels and branches of government, from federal, state, municipal, even right down to your HOA. As the worlds largest democratic nation the US recognizes the need for and places a high priority on civics education. Unfortunately, mostly only those outside of the US, say in India, will recognize the irony laced within that statement.
You forgot to read the bit about leaving USB drives scattered about and dumb staff looking at what was on them--on their offline network. But the short answer is no, they cannot be offline. Human error and latency is a greater risk than the occasional drive by hack. Hospital IT, medical device manufactures, etc. simply have not prioritized, nor resourced security sufficiently. Most people in the know, have simply made it a matter of course to stay quite about the issues and hope to get away with not doing something about. Many others, are just simply clueless, lack training and/or improperly positioned.
If the lack of security--due to government mandated back doors--allows for state sponsored persecution of innocents, enemy state or NGO attacks, etc. where would you stand then? You do grasp the concept that a security vulnerability may be exploited by any actor, at any time, not solely the "right and just" United States government after receiving a lawfully obtained court warrant?
Seriously and more near term though, this does put even more pressure on low/no-skill individuals. As a society we need to start answering this problem. When what you and your abilities can offer are easily supplanted by robots, you need an alternative means by which to live a dignified existence.
Advertisers are doing it to themselves. Normally I don't bother with ad block software. For security and sanity I turn off plugins in my browser. I opt in on a case-by-base basis if there's content I actually wish to view and the site hasn't figured out this HTML5 thing we speak of. That however is it. I understand the need for sites to be able to pay the bills.
At the same time even what had at one time been reasonable advertisement has turned into click bait and/or harassment. I cannot look at a product online without expecting it to chase me all over the Internet for the next week or so. While I can think of worse things to be chased around the Internet by I don't want half naked women following me into work every time I pay my wife's Victoria's Secret bill. When I'm not being chased around by my browsing history, I'm being harassed by this one weird trick, outfits at red carpet events that almost broke the Internet, people of Walmart, older ladies in my area looking for a booty call, etc..
My Internet experience shouldn't make me want to take a shower. I certainly don't want my daughter to have to process this crap nor answer the endless "daddy why" questions associated with it. Given the direction things keep going the day is fast approaching when I shall tolerate no more.
Unfortunately its not as simple as you would like to believe, particularly so for infected modalities. Setting CTs, MRIs, and such aside, malware isn't restricted to the file system. BIOS and other firmware are increasingly becoming targets that present their own rather unique challenges.
The disincentive comes from the requirements of the FDA for medical device manufacture's whenever they makes updates to their product. In theory filing a 510K for security patches is usually not required. However, given the perceived ambiguity that separates needing to vs. not needing to and the tendency towards being skiddish around the FDA and the punitive club they wield the assumption is usually made that a 510K will be required. This is generally considered an expensive PITA with the net result being that updates are made rather infrequently, and only when a business case can be made to do so.
I don't believe it really has to do with climate scientists. Their descriptions consistently speak of increasing extremes, and a shifting of climates to from one location to another. I think the focus on heat is more of a media issue. The media for presumably historical reasons is stuck on the "global warming" notion and has a bias towards reporting stories about heat extremes, not cold extremes, not wet extremes, though sometimes dry extremes.
FAX machines are routinely employed in the clinical environment, e.g. lab results, prescriptions, diagnostic reports, etc.. The most often cited reason (I don't make this stuff up) security.
Hospital IT are far less organized and far less competent on average than you would expect given the nature of the business they're charged with safeguarding. The regulatory environment also disincentivizes timely patching of security vulnerabilities within devices under the stricter regulatory classes. That is to say--in a simplified nutshell--anything involved in the treatment and/or diagnosis of patients.
200mph on rural highways with very light traffic in good weather conditions is very safe, especially once you're in the Midwest.
Except that rural Midwest highways are poorly maintained, often sport farm implements or "casual" drivers traveling at fractions of the speed limit, animals, people (little/no margins), have silly notions like direction changes--up/down, left/right in varying degrees. Not to mention that the vehicles on rural roads tend to be driven by the locals, of whom tend not to possess vehicles designed and/or maintained to safely exceed 70MPH let alone double, if not triple that.
Besides our interstates were designed for safe travel at 120-130mph based on 1960s vechicle technology
Citation required. Also does not account for traffic. Hard to get many people to travel as fast as existing speed limits let alone faster.

ISIS eats tomatoes. Therefore McDonalds customers are ISIS terrorists.

That's precisely the point.
But Trump says he's not even a natural born 'mericon.
Name one market where Time Warner and Comcast co-exist.

Internet/cable service providers are one of the best ways to demonstrate how your assertions are completely specious.

In case I wasn't clear with my above post. This is the physical version of what I'm talking about.
I guess I had better remove the deadbolt from my front door and the owners of MasterLock best prepare for the death penalty.

I think they call those things "hobbies."

FDA 510K - change to an existing device.
