Don't you see, AI is inventing ways for humans to consume less energy so it can eat it all.

> The lender can't repossess a college degree to make themselves whole.

No but if the borrower can't get a good job there should be cause of action for Warranty Act claims against the college.

Extremely few people go to college with the expectation of borrowing to be unemployable.

Oh for sure! Running any of the jailbreaks for iPhones has mostly meant installing a huge heap of packages from Gwd Only Knows Where

Useful for having a run-time environment to study an application from you do plan to use on an uncompromised device, perhaps for reusing older hardware for some other non security critical use case, but no frigging way would I consider using a jailbroken phone as my actual phone, with real contacts and access to real data and accounts I care about on it.

Almost like he's a campaign donor! Did he fly on AF1 to China with the rest of them?

Government very rarely runs on merit. It's a terrible way to conduct anything that doesn't require killing people.

Sure, but border guards and spooks probably already had this exploit so the difference is minor. Their PoC page also says there's no access to Secure Enclave so perhaps the damage is minimal?

Curiously I saw some commits for an iPhone platform in LineageOS a month or two ago. Perhaps an option for EoL Apple hardware with working exploits.

This is a case where regulation KILLED.

Basically this a was thing that was essentially marketed to wealthy tourists. It WAS done under a regulatory environment, and so those people had far more trust in it than they should have. I bet had they been forced to drag the thing out to international waters and do some sketchy bitcoin transaction to pay or whatever they would not have found takers!

Regulation of this kind of stuff simply does not work. What regulator has any experience inspecting a deep sea sub? - None.. What engineer could draft what appropriate safety standards are for something like this? - None at least not without completely stifling innovation.

Yes we know from the post incident analysis corners were cut compromised materials were used and engineers and officers on the project should have know better, but that is negligence and it is why we have torts.

Modern rail roading is a good example, we have a lot of regulation. Mostly it works, but there are still the occasional accidents. Pretty much every rule in the book has one or more corpses behind it, it isn't like someone say down and just wrote out the FRA's inspection schedule, we learned the hard way the inspection frequencies required to catch certain problems before they turn into dead bodies -> then -> we said ok everybody is going to do that.

Honestly the DOT (US or CANs) should have exactly one regulation covering something like this, something akin a product safety label that says, "the safety of traveling aboard a device of this class is not well understood, proceed at your peril"

I am fan of owning your own device so I generally consider a positive thing when this stuff happens, provide the exploit path requires physical device access that inst possible to do superstitiously, IE tether then thing and put it in DFU mode, with the full restart that implies, vs pairing some bluetooth thing or something and exploiting the running OS.

Yeah I get it it means it isnt secure to travel with it - fair argument.

This though is almost cruel to release. Most of the affected devices are old enough Apple will probably just move up their end of support plans for them. Probably harms more people trying to save a buck and hang on to old kit, than helps people who might like to play with it without the lock down..

He's the same kind of con man as Trump.

He railed against the Banks so when Ron Paul's Audit The Fed bill came to the Senate he cosponsored it.

Then behind closed doors he killed it to protect the Banks. Same way he endorsed Hillary with zero concessions after she maligned him and stole the primary.

It's all Kayfabe and he's a multi-millionaire communist for his efforts.

This proposal is just the latest Theatre Kid stunt to get him some attention. The only kind of attention he deserves is derision.

You don't even want to know about the rumored blackmail event. ("Crying Bernie Sanders" is the most vile rabbit hole.)

> Just build some fucking windmills and stick them to batteries and you'll be fine

Please compare the human death rate of wind and solar to atomic energy.

Yes, workers lives matter.

Might as well do coal too.

Also, we have a moral obligation to transmute the 300,000-year waste that the postwar generation left us with (besides their mountain of debt and impossible Empire).

And before you complain about LPCAMM2 being much slower than the high-bandwidth RAM on the CPU package: It's perfectly fine to design a system with a non-uniform memory access paradigm, treating the memory behind the LPCAMM2 interface as a RAM disk. That way you have 8 GB of high-bandwidth DRAM swapping to 16+ GB of somewhat lower-bandwidth DRAM, and the soldered-in SSD lasts longer because it doesn't have to (ab)use its intake buffer to hold the swap file.

Pay the bounty.

The two other possible outcomes are Nightmare Eclipse (she's really on a roll!) or 0day sales on DNM's.

It doesn't even matter whether a decision to fix is made.

Gosh, you'd think $GOOG was broke.

Look at European democracies where coalition governments are the norm, where the system is designed to prevent any one party gaining complete power. Planning is longer term, and there is more certainty in future policy direction.The only certainty in Europe is gridlock, and a nearly religious adherence to half baked Green policy ideas.
