Cool, thanks for the detailed response. I was toying with getting a 13" MBP, but have always like the 12" tiny form factor. I do have a big slow and heavy 13" Dell from the day job right now, so we'll find out how this n

SWIR sensors are there for hot burning lights. LWIR (aka thermal) sees things that are every day temperatures. Both wavelengths have better transmittance through fog than visible light so we say those sensors can 'see through' fog

I've started working on my take over the world side project and it has a watchOS component. I've been pleasantly surprised with the access to the CoreMotion and HealthKit data on the watch, as well as the ease of access for access

1Password has an Apple Watch app, and you can choose the passwords you want to have on your watch. With a PIN on the watch that locks it when taken off one's wrist, I'm pretty happy with that sort of security. Another step would b

Just a note, to work on the port you don't need a device to run in the simulator and you don't need to pay the $100 until you want to submit to the store. As of last year you can install on personal devices without paying the $100

Unfortunately just opening a subsidiary in another country doesn't help, one of the 'features' of ITAR is that it is extraterritorial, so even if you open a subsidiary in another country all the ITAR provisions apply in that
