      +jon99867 The difference to many lies in the number of issues the politician changes his/her mind on. If you are both pro- and against abortion and somehow decide that deporting Syrians from the country is a good idea after suggesting accepting refugees, that's flip flopping. When a matter that is actually highly controversial for more than just a "Mr. Trump, Donald" or any similarly uninformed politician in the future, that is where persuasive arguments are NEEDED. If nobody changes their mind and turns the tides of a deadlocked argument, then no progress will be made.

On one hand, they constantly retrieve and sell data regarding your activity to, for example, prevent you from opening any app that they don't want you to use on your device, and basically spy on you all the time. On the other hand, they had a backdoor in iCloud Backup, which uploaded your full iMessage history to Apple's servers, from where anyone could see all your messages because those were not end to end encrypted.

      @@Trainwheel_Time Some of us are academics who are working in these fields, we don't get the same points you do. We derive different conclusions from the same premises. Basically interpretation is valid. There are so many different ways to hack almost anything I don't think the NSA actually wanted to hack this guy's phone as they could have if they really wanted to, they just wanted to use this as an example of getting a security back door for the government so they don't have to spend time cracking it unless the NSA is really just incompetent which I heavily doubt because they have a lot of great agents. Most cyber security professionals want to work on more open source software as that is apart of the culture of programming. So I guess that is also understandable.

      A conversation between to people is quite different than a letter or an email, because unlike those two SYSTEMS, there is no trace of what you said to that person unless you're recorded but you explicitly said private conversations. Those leave no admissible, court-worthy evidence of what was said, letters and emails do.

      Liberty and security are often at odds. Simply by having laws, we are less free. (E.g., we are not free to murder people.) But giving up some liberty is necessary to have a reasonable level of security. Franklin's point is that safety does not trump liberty. There needs to be balance, and essential liberty must be protected from those who would take it in the name of safety.

      If a system is secure, the system is secure. The only way to get into a single phone under that security system is to break that system - and once you break that system, you break that system for EVERYONE. And once you break that system for everyone, you make that system *accessible* to everyone - government, criminals, etc. The government is being deliberately dishonest here - they know that this one phone opens up EVERY phone to them. Once they're in, they can break into it any phone for any reason - whether it's lawful or not. Frankly, the government has lost their credibility and can no longer expect us to "trust them." Apple is doing the right thing here.

    It's worth knowing that passwords are not encrypted, they're hashed. This means that by the time your "password" is stored it is a jumble of bits that cannot be converted back to your plain text password. There are ways around this, like passing all possible plain-text passwords to the hashing algorithm and creating a table which you can then compare to the hashed passwords. These are typically pretty tough to brute-force especially when using SHA2, etc. (It gets more complicated than this, but...you know.)
    The problem is that the data you're worried about is not the password, but rather the reason you have the password in the first place. This data is typically shared to servers using combinations of asymmetric and shared-key encryption. Asymmetric algorithms like RSA use a special formula that jumbles up you information with one key, and reads it with another. Through a clever series of key-shares, you can prove who you are to the servers, protect your data, AND not have to pass "passwords" to each other in insecure ways.
    The strongest encryption is that which uses asymmetric encryption to establish "passwords" for every single request for data.
    The government established the standards for elliptical curve cryptography. They know the best ways to brute force these algorithms. If they really wanted to get your info, they would get it this way...not with a password.
    They just want a very easy way to gain access to the data without having to brute force encryption. Not because they can't decrypt your data, but because it is very resource intensive to do this, and they don't have enough computational power to steal everyone's data at once. If you gave them a backdoor, they wouldn't have to.

    Gotta commend Graham. It's rare these days that a politician (or anyone, really) dares to examine the other side of an argument and really consider it without preconceived notions.

      +Mene Tekel Corporate tax rates are lower in Canada than in the US...not that these large companies like Apple even pay their taxes though.
      Apple is actually the worst. They owe the US government over $60 billion in unpaid taxes. That money is just sitting offshore. Hence the debate in Congress right now to encourage them to bring it back into the US at a reduced rate (reduced rate to incentivize them). Some people arguing that they will be taxed at 5%, with no interest, and no penalties attached. Can you imagine not paying your taxes for years, the IRS calls you up, and you say "no, I'm not going to pay you all the money I owe. I'll give you 5% instead of 30%".

    That add at the end with the engineers was incredibly cathartic for me having worked in IT, I mean this whole thing is just so emblematic of what we've been dealing with... forever. Crazy expectations from people who don't understand what they're asking for, and zero appreciation even if we do manage to move heaven and earth to make it happen. But this one takes the cake, and finally thank god some recognition. The demand itself is literally self-nullifying and now everyone has to confront that.
    Still this add misrepresents it a little. Hackers are not some greeseball like this with apple being these prim geniuses just barely holding them back. They're not holding anything back. The war... there is no war. This isn't like the axis vs the allies. It's like the near ubiquitous Cylon vs the last vestiges of humanity. And the fact you probably don't understand that despite how perfect a simplification it is on almost every level is just another part of the problem.
    The only reason there is a delay between security implementation and its circumvention is that it's impossible to predict every possible permutation of human innovation or creativity... it is however relatively simple to retroactively comprehend and circumvent once cemented into a static system. This isn't something that will ever change until, conceivably, we develop technology that can develop itself (at which point we may literally be the last vestiges of humanity running from the Cylon). And no ammount of "Do it.", "C'mon, just do it."*Trump style shoulder and [small] hand thrusting*, can change this immutable law.

So I connected the workbook to the table in the DB and refreshed. Brought down the production server and no one could work. Then I was told to fix excel so that it would work.
