My analogy does not, but neither does the hypothetical scenario it was a response to. > "should they be allowed to use EEG to get your phone's PIN code regardless of your consent?" On the point of compelling labour, I qu

The 5C does not have a secure enclave, however the 5C still has the device UID burned into hardware. As I understand it, for an offline attack on the encrypted contents of the flash, you would need that UID.

Perhaps, but that is a destructive option that is very risky.

The FBI is asking that Apple provide them the ability to bypass the PIN timeout limits. In modern iphones, those limits are handled by the secure enclave. However on the 5C in question, the limits are done in iOS and can be disabled by fla

Has the FBI (or Apple) been able to unencrypt the backups from iCloud?

The attack is a brute force attack. My understanding is that if a secure enclave is present, then the PIN timeout feature which prevents brute force is implemented in the secure enclave. If the secure enclave did not permit updates, then

If the government has a warrant, should they be allowed to use a stethoscope to get into your safe regardless of your consent? I can't think of any possible reason they shouldn't...

Is there a secure enclave in the 5C? My understanding is that there is not, and that if there was, then what the FBI is requesting simply wouldn't be possible.

Why would Apple not voluntarily comply? They should not need to be compelled here. They should be eager to assisting this investigation. This isn't them taking a stand in some sort of NSA spying case, as much as Apple fanboys see

Apple is a very rich company. This is a federal investigation of a mass murderer, with potential national security implications. Where is there sense of civic responsibility? There is no way in hell they'd lose $100 in sales for aid

Let's remember what this discussion is actually about. The FBI isn't asking Apple to help them make a Jew list. They are asking for access to the telephone of a mass murderer.

If the government has legitimate warrants that stand up in court, then why shouldn't Apple be doing this on an individual basis?

Are we ever not? It's a political topic, so manipulation goes with the territory.

The interface and apps. Accurate maps aren't worth a damn, without a reliable way of accessing them.

Could such a device be used to increase the reaction mass of your fuel when it exits your engine? A sort of way to cheat F=MA by artificially boosting M, but only after you are in orbit?

I agree that Apple Maps is currently better, but I attribute that mostly to the quality of Google Maps severely degrading in recent years. It has gotten so bad, that I've dusted off my old stand-alone GPS and keep it in my car's

Bubbles will continue to grow and collapse, but throughout it all, programming will increasingly become a blue collar job. I mean that both in terms of accessibility to the lower classes, and in terms of social status granted once you&#x27

Much easier to get money out of people who can get money from themselves. Ad impressions from adults are worth more than ad impressions from teenagers.

Tumblr has a problem of demographics which makes it difficult for Yahoo to make money off of it. A very large segment of their users are teenagers, and another large segment do little other than post pornography.

> Actions, not thoughts, make a monster. I reject that absolutely. I would not want a pedophile in my neighborhood near my children. They are monsters, no matter how they acted thus far I will not wait for somebody to be harmed before

Whether or not it is "their fault" that they were born a monster is of no consequence. The question of fault is completely irrelevant. A red herring.

1) New tourist attraction. 2) From an environmental standpoint, isn't CO2 in the atmosphere better than methane? Lighting it would be admitting defeat. I suspect pride is a factor here.

In your estimation, what would it take for the police to become as effective as organized crime at keeping young publicly hyper-violent criminals in line?

They are just as smart, but due to the nature of their economies, they can out compete on cost.

Over the course of the next century programming will become a blue collar profession. Children who develop an interest in programming will become about as common as children who are interested in tablesaws or cutting torches.

When you analyse Star Wars like that, you'll find that the things which make sense are greatly outnumbered by the things that don't.

They have horrible brand recognition in the US. To most American consumers, they may as well be a no-name brand. I think it is safe to say that you are an exception of sorts. You've surrounded yourself with products from a company mo

Dinosaur books for children in libraries across the country (public or school) are frequently quite old, or at least out of date. Not terribly surprising when you consider it is a topic that sits on the very edge of human knowledge, but so
