But since key management is out of your control or visibility, Apple can just add another key to your account on behalf of the government. They don't have to disclose the existing keys on your device. This gets them the messages going

That's an interesting TOS. I've never before seen "fair use" called out as an explicit allowance in terms of copyright restrictions by the part of the copyright holder. It's not entirely clear to me what that would

Cars are explicitly licensed by the government (for a fee) to use the government-owned roads and resources, and specific laws exist about leaving a car parked on one of these roads (where and how long). Similarly cars left on private proper

Wait, so what are you trying to say? It's bad not because they're ignoring it, instead it's bad because they're just not particularly competent?

This is downright silly. The bulk of bandwidth is associated with a select few destinations that aren't going to put their datacenters behind a consumer isp under any circumstances. But many do offer caching options that allow content

What's your workflow for generating these images? I think the images are cool, but I think what's even more cool is having a a set of tools/techniques for "tracing" a given image out as paths.

Yup. FTDI is the only chip maker that I avoid out of principle. They have been blatantly and unapologetically abusive. Their devices are also overpriced to a degree borders on comical, so they're not hard to avoid. For the price of th

Stand-alone emergency departments are definitely a good thing. At least, the kind we have in Redmond is. The "main" hospital is about 5 miles away from the stand-alone ER, both run by the same company. They have the full complimen

You seem to be taking this all at face value. Temp agencies are a pretty nontrivial force in the employment world. If you work at a temp agency, they pay you regardless of whether you're bringing money, they do technical training and c

There's a GDC talk about this (up on YouTube, can't remember the title) about the cost/difficulty going alone vs going through steam. The tldr is that valve apparently knows exactly how much it costs you to run this apparatus

So is it immoral to eat a holiday dinner at Grandma's house without paying Grandma for cooking? Not likely. In fact, it would probably be immoral to offer payment. But it IS immoral to skip out on your bill at a restaurant, even if you

Yeah, despite everything you read, Google doesn't "want your data". Google is one of only a handful of companies that have matured beyond the point of thinking that personal data is, in and of itself, valuable if the user doe

This entire protest would have generally been a non-event if the company hadn't sent out a memo telling managers to accommodate people who want to participate, ensure there is no retaliation or penalty, be flexible with schedules, etc.

You've heard that, huh? HC doesn't pick your job, they decide whether or not to hire you. Hence the name. At Google it's typically trivially simple to switch teams (this article notwithstanding), so teams don't recruit a

Have you ever tried getting audio capture to work on Linux? Now imagine trying to automate that workflow across devices as part of a spyware package. People would install it on purpose just to get their damn pulseaudio config sorted out.

Cost. This tech should be bread-and-butter security for enterprises and consumers alike, just like TLS is today. The main reason why it's not is the crazy device cost. And like the early CAs with SSL in the 90s, Yubico is charging way
