Yes, Apple devices offer to do this for eachother if you are in the person's contacts.

My first experience with weed was a couple of years ago, and there was paranoia from the get-go. My dad also got paranoia when he tried it so he stopped.
When I started smoking weed for the first time semi-regularly (~1.5 years ago, 0-4 times per week) I had become "pretty crazy", which consisted of lots of notes, voice memos, and screenshots of the notes and voice memos.
The outright-crazy stuff mostly ended about a couple months after I stopped living in my car, which I had to do because of the and it getting down to -19C at night. Within the past year I haven't been near the deep-end, but my weed use has been off and on between regularly (3-7 times per week), semi-regularly (0-4), and zero. I consistently experience paranoia/psychosis whenever I get high, but it generally isn't harmful, and is sometimes silly. My friends put up with it.
However very recently for 6 days, I lived in a cruel reality that existed in my head. It was caused by a long-term (2 yr) long-distance (6 mnth) codependent girlfriend who can be a capable and stubborn liar. Thankfully the extent of the terrible things I believed happened didn't actually happen–she didn't even make it to cheating on me, let alone the malicious delusions I experienced–and she happened to have suitable proof. If she hadn't I might still be in that reality.
I think the episode was more to do with how she shattered trust, and some coincidental events during the 6 days, but I believe my weed usage helped my brain to create the complex unimaginable scenarios, then experience the pain fully. For a handful of hours in those 6 days I was close to tell-no-one suicide, after a history of suicidal behaviour.
I'm happy to be in this reality as of a little less than 2 weeks ago, I'm also glad that I endured and survived that pain. I've become a lot stronger, more peaceful, and I feel that I have turned many corners with mental illness which I hadn't faced in the past–though perhaps I can credit that to a deeper dive into Buddhism and to the end of the codependency. We were about to restart our warm embrace the day she anchored me to this timeline, but per some timely advice from her friend we took a step back and ended it.
Whether or not the psychosis is temporary, or whether it causes early-onset schizophrenia is an area I'm excited to see more research on. It's definitely not as black-and-white as many people paint it out to be, and talking about any potential downsides of the drug is sometimes met with stigmatism because you're "falling for the propaganda".
One aspect of weed legalization is going to be psychosis in a subset of people who use it, and it's not exactly a safe phenomenon. There were definitely paths during my bouts with weed that don't lead to being here like this today. At the same time I'm grateful for the experiences it has given me, and the lateral thinking it has granted me.
Here's a good article I found, "Pot Can Trigger Psychotic Symptoms For Some, But Do The Effects Last?" [2015] https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2015/03/06/3901436...
For Buddhism I've been slowly reading Siddhartha over the past few weeks, and Tales Of Times Now Past off and on over the past year.
I wouldn't generally write such a long, personal comment, but we're neatly away on the second page.
I think a lot of employees are just not taking a step back to look at the sum of the parts they are helping to build, or maybe they have optimism/trust in their leaders to not fuck everyone over, and others might just draw their line further down the sand (e.g. no Pentagon contracts).
I imagine a brave few are also working to change it for the better from within. I'd definitely choose to work at Apple instead though, Google seems fundamentally creepy these days.
I experience it while high, so I only take a toke or two irregularly. I might feel as if I'm experiencing the pain of a broken leg, or that my foot is bleeding, as well as more abstract things. It also grants some introspection and lateral thinking so its not a bad time.
I've heard higher amounts of CBD can counteract this, but I just mooch from friends who regularly smoke, and all their weed is high in THC / low in CBD. When its fully legal in my province I'll try a high CBD strain.
Either way I'm excited for the neurological research to come out of Canada from legalization :)

Google Docs is often the only comfortable and familiar way to collaborate on documents for many groups, and YouTube is often the only source of video content on the internet.
Apple is not playing catch-up, all phones since the iPhone 5s (Fall 2013, receiving iOS 12) have a hardware encryption key entangled with the user's passcode to decrypt data.
The key is unique per phone, inaccessible to even the Secure Enclave firmware, and has PBKDF2 iterations tuned for 80ms per attempt. The Cellebrite attacks are getting closer to ~1s per attempt, and rely on being able to upload their own firmware to the phone.
This feature looks to disable the last way of getting into iOS devices without the passcode.
They certainly seem to be investing a lot in security.
The costs may be large and many companies may leave, but China has shuttered out these same companies and they've done well to solve their needs from within the country.
Of course China's goals were much different than citizen's rights.
Sure, the companies might be "hysteric", but I don't think this list is aimed to spread that hysteria.

Automated facial recognition systems will listen to whatever they’re told without question, and can watch all cameras at all times.
Add gait recognition and you won’t be able to go anywhere within CCTV without it being known.
There is one section on resigning:
> If we discover misuse of data that we consider illegal or unethical in our organizations:
> ...
> If we do not have such authority, and our organizations force us to engage in such misuse, we will resign from our positions rather than comply.
From what I have seen, Google's help with the Pentagon seems limited to software consulting. If Google had shared any data with the Pentagon for military purposes then it would have crossed a line for the pledge.
The pledge says to try to fix it through: working with colleagues/leaders; then whistleblowing; then legal defenses if they have the authority; then resignation.

I use [ exclusively, but with && and ||, instead of -a and -o respectfully.
e.g. [ -e "$file" ] && [ -w "$file" ] instead of [ -e "$file" -a -w "$file" ].

Some sections on features I use heavily:
- Parameter Expansion (specifically :-, %, %%, #, ##)
- Special Parameters (specifically "$@", $#, $?)
- set --, this lets you set the $1, $2, etc. variables. I use this with "$@" for arrays, primarily for building command strings.
Here's an small shell script demonstrating some of them:
#!/bin/sh
# err function
err() { echo "$1" >&2; exit 1; }
# init variables
unset src
unset dst
dry_run=false
# get arguments
while [ $# -gt 0 ]; do
case "$1" in
-d|--dry-run) dry_run=true ;;
--) shift; break ;;
-*) err "unknown option: $1" ;;
*)
if [ -z "$src" ]; then src="$1"
elif [ -z "$dst" ]; then dst="$1"
else err "unexpected argument: $1"
fi
;;
esac
shift
done
# sanity checks
## TODO: print usage
if [ -z "$src" ]; then err "source not specified"; fi
if [ ! -d "$src" ]; then err "source does not exist"; fi
if [ ! -r "$src" ]; then err "cannot read source directory"; fi
if [ -z "$dst" ]; then err "destination not specified"; fi
if ! rsync --version >/dev/null 2>&1; then
err "missing rsync(1)"
fi
# build rsync command
set -- rsync -aq "$src" "$dst"
# log command
echo "copying $src to $dst"
echo " $@"
if ! $dry_run; then
if "$@"; then
echo "success"
else
# rsync will have printed an error message
err "rsync exited with error code $?"
fi
else
echo "dry run; not executing"
fi
Advancing technology is interesting to work on, but deploying it in useful ways to solve problems is the part nobody wants or knows how to do. There's more to be done with what we have now.
For US & Canada this was $86.65 in the last 4 quarters.
For Europe this was $34.95.
Keep in mind they likely don't target ads using just one person's data: accuracy can be improved by looking at the data of similar people, and looking at the data of friends and family. It isn't as simple as offering a $10/month plan to keep your privacy, because they want everyone's data.

The passcode is 'entangled' with a per-device 'UID' that only exists in silicon, not accessible by any firmware.
It seems that the current GrayKey attacks are closer to ~1s/guess.

Encrypting directly with RSA according to PKCS#1 is limited to a maximum of 501 bytes (key modulus - 11 bytes).
Generally RSA is not used to encrypt data directly, instead you encrypt an AES key with RSA then encrypt the data with that key.

According to this 2/3 Apple devices sold are still active today: http://www.asymco.com/2018/02/27/the-number/
I believe Apple gains directly from the longevity. People know that Apple products last long and hold resale value; where I am the iPhone 5s from Sept 2013 is sold second-hand for ~$150CAD
Devices with high resale value mean customers can upgrade frequently.
The "Hey Siri" wake is done completely locally, and is opt-in on top of Siri.

Apple also consistently makes the trade-off of privacy above user-experience; in order to offer similar features to Google photos, they train neural networks on-device.
As well as how seriously they take the biometric data from Touch ID and Face ID, I'm much more comfortable around a HomePod than Alexa.
This key is "tangled" with user-supplied keys for per-device access to data.
I assume the T2 offers this same feature.
