Accept that %95 of the jobs on this planet is dead. Yours might be one of them.


This is really nihilistic and not remotely true to the reality today. It could change in the next ten, twenty years, but it still seems unlikely.


these banks are connected to each other, secure yourself in physical assets until shitstorm is over, oh wait :)


So now we know how the fbi got into the shooters phone :)


It was an iPhone. Not Qualcomm.


Maybe read a little bit before down voting ? Quallcom is a chipset manufacturer Iphone is a device, has it occured to you that iphone might have quallcom tech in it ?


Maybe you should read? The secure enclave is completely separate to TrustZone on an iPhone and has nothing to do with Qualcomm.


The phone the FBI got into have a secure enclave though, IIRC.


The iPhone 5C predated the introduction of the secure enclave. The 5C contains an A6 chip; according to page 7 of https://www.apple.com/business/docs/iOS_Security_Guide.pdf, the secure enclave is only available with A7-based devices or newer.


You aren't talking about the San Bernardino iPhone 5c that had a A6 series CPU which predated the introduction of secure enclave are you?


We aren't in a thread about the FBI getting into a "shooter's" iPhone...aren't we?

E: ah, my original post is missing a negation. Too late to edit.


Is it not true that you did not intend to answer a rhetorical question with a rhetorical question as a negative confirmation, is it?


I assumed my prior posting was correct and that you had somehow missed critical context.

Edit: many in this thread appear to be missing critical context, as the secure enclave is not in play.


"Inside, the 5c packs the same Apple A6 processor featured in the iPhone 5, a Qualcomm MDM9615M LTE modem, and a Qualcomm WTR1605L LTE/HSPA+/CDMA2K/TDSCDMA/EDGE/GPS transceiver. The back of the logic board features assorted power management, flash, and controller components from Toshiba, Qualcomm, and Broadcom, as well as a Murata Wi-Fi module. "

Iphone 5c has qualcomm stuff in it.


TrustZone is an ARM thing for the general-purpose computer on the device. The modem and radio are not relevant to discussions on TrustZone.


You're trying too hard.


Repeated from above: The iPhone 5C predated the introduction of the secure enclave. The 5C contains an A6 chip; according to page 7 of https://www.apple.com/business/docs/iOS_Security_Guide.pdf, the secure enclave is only available with A7-based devices or newer.


:facepalm:


I don't believe the story.


Ok, nifty device, but what happens when you have a collusion or an accident and that device in front of your head starts flying around ?

I don't want to destroy their hype bu they should really give that problem some thought.


In fairness, it's not like they're the only device in the world that mounts on a car dashboard. There's tons of GPS receivers, phone holders, etc. that do the same thing.


Hmm, this might have implications for digital currencies and their mining.


Unlikely. Custom built Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) (i.e. bitcoin mining chips - e.g http://www.butterflylabs.com/) will always be faster than FPGAs (which are comparatively slow) and CPUs (which are fast, but general).


Except that every other months or so sees the introduction of a new proof-of-work system that won't have ASICs for years, if ever. FPGAs can easily outperform the CPU/GPU competition on any alt-coin using such proof-of-work.


jpmorgan has an aggressive stance against bitcoin for a while now. I wonder what is behind their continuous negative statements about bitcoin, if you don't like it just don't use it, it's not like we are pushing bitcoins down their throats or stg :)


The document ref'd in the OP is not a press release, or an arsey comment on HN, but an investor's note. JPM are telling their clients not to invest in bitcoin, because they do not rate it as an investment.

That is what is 'behind' the negative statements. They are not engaging in personal vendettas, but trying to make money, and have decided that - even compared to the absurd pre-08 financial instruments - a deflationary pseudo-currency based on fantasy randroid economics is not a great idea from the old 'get money' angle.

How incomprehensibly mean spirited of them!


I have no qualms or problems whatsoever with gender reassignment or, sexual preference, but wtf ?! is this thing real ?


The transgender people I know/have known seem to be serious about it.


I live in Turkey and I am using concerta for about 5 years now, if you have ADHD the drug calms you and makes focusing and completing tasks easy, it also unfortunately makes you immune to coffee no matter how much coffee you drink, you can still drink more :).

When somone without ADHD uses the drug it causes tachycardia, high blood pressure, restlessness and sometimes paranoia, not all of them though, it migth be a recreational drug to someone but I need it to function in my daily life and I'm not using it to have fun in any way, I had periods ( at most 6 months) which, I had not taken any concerta of methylphenidate derivative and results were not good for my productivity.

It is also a type II controlled substance here in Turkey You are prescribed one pill for one day and you cannot have more even if you want to, but we dont have any quotas on the precursors and drug use in Turkey is very low considering Europe and US.


How much money is a 30 day supply?


85$


I think you are talking about somewhere in India or Thailand or something, I drive in Istanbul for the last umm, 12 years and never missed a red light intentionally and saw maybe ten or fifteen idiots that does not care about the red light.

Btw did you visit Istanbul in the end of 80's I believe it was the only time The city was packed enough and that situation maybe seen because I can remember those times, now its different though many of the traffic lights have cameras that trigger with a red light pass, even there were accidents the first few months cameras were installed people were braking harder than usual to make sure they stop :)

As for deadlocks, Istanbul transport authority changed thousands of streets to one way or changed the rules of many areas to stop that in the last 5 years, when were you last in Istanbul seriously :) ?

And police does care, if you are involved in a red light violation and police is around you are not screwed but definitely get a ticket.


I've lived in Istanbul for 11 years and you must have had your eyes shut mate. 3 lanes of traffic becomes 5; it's all about nosing in and cutting up; red lights are often rushed through for a few seconds after they change (if not more), pedestrian crossings are of no use whatsoever.

As for traffic violations and police stops, don't make me laugh. Driving in Istanbul is carefree - do whatever you want whenever you want (which is why there are so many road deaths... I don't think I know a single Turk who doesn't know of someone relatively close who has been lost in a traffic accident). You'll rarely if ever be stopped by the police. The only time I've been stopped or seen people stopped is by late night alcohol checks or trafik polis running spot checks - both of which you can always pay your way out of (and I have).

I know Turks are generally nationalistic and proud, but please learn to have some introspection, look inwardly, critcise and laugh. Too many subjects on the internet concerning Turkey or Turks get mobbed and trolled by Turks trying to put a positive spin, just because they don't want to see their country portrayed in any bad light internationally.


I was there in 2008 when I attended a conference near Taksim square. However, this was during Ramazan - so maybe traffic during Ramazan is worse then during the remainder of the year.

When I was there most crossings looked somewhat like this (warning: terrible video quality): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cYdHUmG100 (I had a green light when I passed this crossing as a pedestrian).
