Most teachers should qualify for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program, meaning any federal loans (not private) should be forgiven after 120 payments without incurring the tax burden. As far as I understand, the 120 payments co

There is a book that paints the same picture of the CIA called A Legacy of Ashes.

If I'm not mistaken, the FBI wants a version of the OS that circumvents those limits and runs in RAM. Apple said it will take their team something like 2 weeks to build.

When Facebook first released an app, I downloaded it to my Android phone and it borked my contacts so badly that I've never logged into the app again (can't remove it from my Galaxy S6 without rooting). For every person in my Face

I wonder what happens if you report to the "juristic person office"? Do they get you a different accommodation and go after the AirBnB host?

The only one I know of (but I'm a biologist...) was This Week in Startups, the podcast by Jason Calacanis. He had a segment in which he would critique pitches. Not sure if the podcast or segment exist anymore.

What does Sensenbrenner even mean by "you aren't going to like what we come up with". It sounds like he was pissed off that Apple didn't come with a bill to hand him to do his job for him. And his last part sounds quite

Why that submarine in particular?

If I understand correctly, it's not that the force of what I said is incorrect, but just that the specific phrase doesn't mean what I intended? The point is still that not all speech is legal, therefore not all code would be legal

Does anyone know what happens if Apple loses engineers over this? Not that it's likely, but I could see someone saying "I came here to build secure systems, not break them". Does the government bear costs to replace or retrai

I think it's sort of about the reusability of the technology, because that's where the major barrier is. Forcing Apple to create that technology which undermines their own systems' security is at the center. If that technolog

I'm sure defense counsel would want to be able to verify that it isn't modifying file access times, or deleting data, or planting data, or otherwise disturbing evidence when the update is put in.

Yes, but that is not nearly the same burden as actually writing the compromised OS. It's probably as easy to compel them to sign the update as it is to compel them to turn over iCloud data.
405.
by jonlucc 11y ago
It's true, but very narrow, I think. FBI means that Apple could sign the update to only work on that phone. Apple means that once the compromised version of the OS is built, the only thing stopping it from being widespread is changing

The same goes for Chicago, where busses are longer, but articulated in the middle for maneuverability. They drive just like the taxi drivers there, and that isn't a compliment.

> If code is speech, does this mean anyone can write code to perform any kind of task (nefarious or otherwise) and be protected by the First Amendment? Not a lawyer, but I don't think so. You can't just say anything you want, e

What would they get? Best case, there is a contact name associated with a phone number they think is suspicious? Wouldn't that have been backed up on iCloud? Also, what's the endgame? They want to convict the dead guy? They want t

There were free options. I think the biggest benefits to Let's Encrypt are the EFF's clout and the simplicity.

It's his work phone, not personal. I can't believe there is anything on this phone worth getting access to that couldn't be obtained from another source.

This was my first thought. The influence ought to follow a 4PL fit curve (not sure what the function is called). You're only trying to make sure the user is not terrible, you don't care once they've proven themselves worthy.

I actually think the problem is sort of the opposite. People who agree are (usually) civil to each other. Online, where privacy or pseudonymity is the norm, people who disagree with each other tend to do so in ways they wouldn't imagin

I think that would be an appropriate edit to make. In the beginning, I think it's fair to have the disclaimer that he has an interest in a competing app. So should he do that without naming the specific app he's working on? That m

I'm of mixed opinion on this. What is the correct way to point out that your opposition is doing something slimy?

They don't handle the hosting, just the provisioning. I assume it's almost entirely automated until they're adding new features or one of the supported hosts breaks something.

The focus here seems to be on proof of concept, not what I've thought of as an MVP. I thought an MVP was the thing people can use, but in it's most bare form.

Their Android widget used to show the latest tweet of a person a follow. Recently (few months, maybe?) it was only the most recent ad. I'll be damned if I dedicate a chunk of my home screen to whatever crappy ad Twitter wants to fling

Sure the price will come way down, but it will still be out of reach for the people who are most likely to perpetuate poverty in their families. Surely the price would not drop below the annual difference in median incomes between those wit

It's also going to hurt the next generation, but I can't tell in what way yet. Many of my friends in stable, well-paying jobs are far too broke to consider having children. On the other hand, all of the people I know who didn&#x27
