I want to know what changed between 2016, when the FBI bought a tool to hack the San Bernardino shooters iPhone[1] for $900,000[2] and now — with presumably an up-to-date iPhone running 2019 iOS — that forced them to come to this conclusion

It also looks to be no mention of streaming Premier League games. Does anyone know if NBC owns those rights to stream stateside? IIRC, NBC Sports is the Premier League hub while Fox Sports tends to host more Bundesliga (German football club

This three stage weapon was actually a 100 megaton bomb design, but the uranium fusion stage tamper of the tertiary (and possibly the secondary) stage(s) was replaced by one(s) made of lead. This reduced the yield by 50% by eliminating the

I think, and someone correct me if i’m wrong, that the $25/yr sub is mostly to enable archiving, which gives you full-text search through all of your bookmarks. You can search by tag or URL on a standard account.

How does 55,000HP compare to modern launches (e.g. SpaceX)? Have they become more efficient in harnessing less power to produce more thrust? I’m a lay person when it comes to engineering, but my assumption would be that we do not need close

If homelessness is a problem, why should the alternative be to put them in jail or prison? For something as simple as car camping, it seems like an unjustifiable punishment for a simple offense. Without getting into much of a semantics argu

The author doesn’t mention gaming in the article at all and I don’t think any person with decent knowledge of Mac products would assume the new Mac Pro would be a gaming machine. What the author and many others are trying to convey is that

24 hours seems a little fast. I’ve encountered bodies that have sat for 2-3 days unnoticed (estimated) inside of their house, in the summer, and it’s not too terrible of a smell. If anything, you’d start to see bloating and discoloration,

I agree with you on this more than the original response. From my time renting — houses and apartments — the former has always been more of an “as-is” type rental. In a house rental, the landlords tend to usually only be responsible for the

Manufacturing jobs may have become less in numbers but they are no way near gone. So i’m not sure that really counts as a valid answer. Same with mechanics. These jobs are not gone but possibly shrunk in total # of jobs. Quality may have

I wouldn’t necessarily say Meng being indicted is “nothing at all.” Nonetheless, the story does a great job of illustrating what type of activities LE must do during a type of operation and investigation of this magnitude.
