I'm quite surprised the iMessage team would go to the effort of implementing end-to-end encryption without being familiar with the basics like perfect forward secrecy.

I keep hearing this canard from the Regressive Left. I've heard nobody claim that the more one studies Islam the more Radical one becomes. What is a true however is that the belief that violence is a legitimate response to perceived injustices towards Islam has a *mountain* of support from the Quran and Hadith, and unlike the Old Testament the Islamic texts haven't been "defanged" by modernity yet.

Given we're talking about the internet here, they got off easy. It could have easily been the RSS Hitler Did Nothing Wrong.

You know what's significantly worse than an Open Source project with TF1? A closed source project with a TF1.

The problem is Agile is fundamentally incompatible with the way most businesses are run. Top down command and control organization, blind adherence to process, lack of discipline / peer accountability, lack of team autonomy, etc will all create a disaster out of Agile. Blame corporate culture, not the person pointing out the inconvenient truth that "Hey, software is hard and I'm not arrogant enough to sit in a room and design everything upfront and pretend here at the beginning of the project when I have the least amount of information over the problem that half of my decisions are going to be right."

The best place I've ever worked followed this philosophy: Focus on the user, be transparent and collaborative, and give everyone huge amounts of autonomy. Follow an agile methodology. No middle management allowed. Decisions should be made by consensus of small teams closest to the problem. If you can't reach consensus, only then does your job title materialize ensuring rank is pulled sparingly. The team evaluates their peer's performance anonymously and bad performance gets you fired.

This works incredibly well but requires hiring competent staff who are self motivated.

It seems to be overlooked by most people, but the fact that this little box is fanless means the laptop harddrive contains the only moving parts. I'm not sure if it would be a good idea, but this might be a good candidate for a cheap air tight sealed industrial-environment box.
