in fact, apple passed exxon in size. part of the apple apparatus is looking feverishly for material substitutes to get away as fast as they can. if you recall, i showed you the periodic table. every year, more and more. they are making themselves more and more vulnerable. what they are really trying to do is partner with universities, find material substitutes. ceramics is a big area of research now. if iineral processing, could pull out so-called conflict minerals or whatever we ,ill call them out of coal dust they are thinking about it as are many other companies who want to have an image of environmental responsibility. i think that is good. we want to be environmentally responsible. when it comes to shortages, sometimes our back is against the wall. the question is, what are we going to do about it. my guess is that apple probably wants reduce costs. supplies are low, costs are high. we have a reception for the upstairs in the winter garden that will begin forth with. all you need to do is put your name tag back on o

in fact apple blew past exxon in size. part of the apple apparatus is looking feverishly for material substitutes to get away as fast as they can, because if you recall, i showed you the periodic table, every year more and more and more, so they are making themselves like tesla or siemens, more and more vulnerable as they go wide, let's say. so what they are really trying to do is partner with universities and find material substitutes. and ceramics is a big area of research and the recycle, and the mineral processing. if it i could pull out so-called conflict minerals or whatever you want to call them out of coal dust or somebody else's trash, good to go. but they are thinking about it, as are many other companies. who want to have an image of environmental responsibility. and i think that's good. okay, we want to be environment ll responsible. but when it comes to shortages, sometimes our back is against the wall and the question is how are we going to handle it, what are we going to do about it? >> and my guess is that

buyt, persuade apple to next computer. then steve would join the apple board in overtime the board would recognize that steve was the right guy to lead the company. i said, ok. that might work. steve, if we do not buy apple, how are we going to make any money? suddenly steve top -- stopped walking and turned toward me. he put his left hand on my right shoulder and his right hand on my left shoulder. staring unblinkingly into my eyes, steve said, very, this is why it is so important that i am your friend. you do not need any more money. i said, i know, i know. then i said, but we don't have to keep it, we can give it all away. i was whining. steve just shook his head and said, i am not doing this for the money. i don't want to get paid. if i do this, i need to do this standing on the moral high ground. ?he moral high ground, i said that just might be the most expensive real estate owners. -- real estate on earth -- but i knew i had lost the argument steve had made up his mind at castle rock in the summer of 1995 to save app

it is not an apples to apples comparison. we say we count your productivity if you are self employed, but ignore all the growth in their pay. a lot of uber workers would be shocked if they knew they did not count. they're using different measures to it and just pay and productivity for inflation. the government has many service that measure inflation. what the policy since it is using is the survey that shows payfastest measure of growth that nascent looks lik e inflation aggressive growth is growing slower. it makes it look like inflation adjusted productivity has grown faster. this alone apart from any other change will make pay and productivity appear to grow differently can even if in terms in nominal dollars from the paycheck workers get him they will have exactly the same pay. they are using a different measure of inflation, differences that are caused solely by the difference in how you technically inflation and are not caused by data. what happens is this chart shows what happens when you account for these different f

so i want to quote a brief that was filed in the san bernardino apple-fbi case by a prominent respected group of security and expert. they detailed the various serious security risks that would result from forcing device manufacturers to facilitate access by u.s. law enforcement as the fbi, of course, was seeking to do. now, exactly how serious the risks are depend on exactly what the manufacturers would be forced to do. as the security experts explained, the worst case scenario is consistent with what the fbi was arguing for. the worst case scenario would be if apple were forced to sign the custom code that the government wanted to force it to design and if that code is capable of being used on any apple device with the same operating system. let me quote these experts, if that los angeles -- leeks the public danger would be catastrophic, i phones and i pads are not only used by general public but airline pilots, police and president obama. experience in history leads to the conclusion that forcing a company to undermine unproduct security would imperil not just the cybersecurity but a

the apple crown, to itself. there is no economic purpose there. they are not producing in attacks even anything. they are not selling. he are not designing or creating anything in the tax havens and most of that was done in the united states. levinformer senator carl joining us to talk about tax havens. also his work in congress and what he is doing now. if you want to asking questions, 202-748-8000 for democrats. 202-748-8001 for republicans. and for independents, 202-748-8002. first caller is bruce for senator call 11. go ahead, bruce. caller: how long have you been in congress, serve? guest: 36 years in congress and the senate. caller: it always amazes me when people complain about tax loopholes in the way tax laws are written. who wrote the tax laws? were you part of voting or accepting them, and then all of a sudden coming to go on the attack. guest: not all of a sudden. i heard hearings over a decade. it showed the damage that was done by these tax loopholes. we have had impact on a number of bills that we

that if apple was forced to sign the custom code that the government wanted to force it to tucson and if it is capable with the same operating system. the public danger is catastrophic after all i folded my pads are not just jews by the general public but police and president obama to lead to the conclusion to undermine cybersecurity but also fizzle security so weakening communications privacy protection to add a net negative security impact. we also see and repeated the how the government overstates how important surveillance is even with the short-term security goals including the two recent high profiles with fbi and apple it involving the i found another one for a drug dealer. but in both cases the fbi insisted over and over it could not access the data of the phones to be the unprecedented step to commandeer apple to authenticate software to let them break it to the devices but yet in both cases the claims were unfounded. first the fbi announced they had an alternative way to access the san birdied our phone but that day announced they also found an alternative to access the of b

what sort of relationship do you think you have at the moment with companies like apple and google? is it a bit too confrontational and do you think there's a way that you can mend that and cooperate with them? and secondly, if asked about would you like to be vice president, what would you say? >> well, i'm hoping nobody asks. now let me answer your first question. >> you can dodge that one. >> he said, if asked. i'm just hoping nobody asks. on that is it too confrontational, senator warner says this, mark's on intel, most of you know mark and i are really close, we've known each other in 35 years one of the virtues of being the two senators from virginia you do these xmeetds and i'll do those. he's intel and banking and finance. i'm armed services, budget. they put me on the aging committee i don't know why just recently. but mark, his pitch on sort of fbi/apple is both sides are kind of claiming a moral superiority that is above their actual moral stature. so there is some tough rhetoric back and forth, and the apple/fbi case is the case that the law school professor would write

in this case, how to make an apple pie. what to do? i go find my favorite baker and ask how to do it. or do i? in a post singularity world, communicating may be unnecessary? in my people to be transferred immediately. increase the efficiency and decrease the chance of misunderstanding. much like this copy of beyonce's lemonade that i want, communication is brought with inaccuracies. communication never achieves 100% efficiency. at the time the answer chosen was to employ the universal language, mathematics. if we encode the basics of language using mathematical constructs, we can imply a common tongue. how to send math? we have tried two methods. we send a thing with math or we send a math listing. the biggest bang for our buck is to send light. it makes a lot of sense. our planet has been leaping are electromagnetism. you can get the message out all over the place. this comes at a cost. our light fades with time and distance. it becomes harder to hear within the cosmic forest. the light that we send will not be anymore detectable. ok,

now if you excuse me, i have an apple high to bake.

i'm not comparing apples and oranges. compare apples and apples. one in three american children live in a house that has food insecurity. black kids whose dad didn't graduate from high school are more likely not to see their dad -- are more likely to see their dad in prison before they turn 14. than in a job. institutional racism exists today, we're only slowly beginning to acknowledge it. we acknowledge it, i won't go into it now, because black lives matter is a recognition of institutional racism but it is what eyond, well beyond happens in terms of enforcement. let me give you a few examples. look what's happened since the supreme court ruled on the voting rights act. supreme court gutted the voting rights act, it's been an assault on the most basic of our civil rights, the right to vote. this year for the first time in a presidential campaign, 10 states will be enforcing restrictive voting laws that didn't exist last election. even though they can't show any evidence that there was any in-person voter fraud. we're fighting this in court from th

you were hinking as talking, bob, earlier, about the bad apple section of the speeches. and i was sort of rung through he congresses in my head and every single congress there was a bad apple component. 194 . through the the south korean communist, the foreign minister after the establishment of the n rk. cuo-un. was again pa the north koreans denied the existence of a cult anymore but said there had been a cult. im ill son university, i can't explain, he said. 1961, you have the anti-party. the events of 1956 being discussed. anti-party group. 1970 you have the last group that was purged and it was from this time that you have, of course, the you knowtary leadership system that's created as a way to eliminate different opinions in the party. and it's usually when you have different opinions -- this part of the book in working on it, bob mentioned earlier. you have this notion of faxalism in the party that continues to -- it's the lens through which we view north korean politics today and if you look at each of so youases where kim ill hink -- kim ill sung and his pred a

willsay, i don't think i lock my pin, apple will come in and say, i will not enable for any customers who want to put a pin on this fund protected and that would be the same as what banks are doing by not putting pins on their products. i think it is a backstop for us toward innovation in the u.s. with one other quick piece that we have not talked about and i'm sure most of you may not have it on your debit.nless you pay emb withed challenges we have certifications, and we will get there, but there are challenges. scott is right. if a merchant wants to program their point-of-sale and process emb a certain way, they can do that. in order to be pin preferring, they now have to go through this added step, which they did not have to do before when you could wrap transactions in a striped -- and a magnetic stripe environment. prompt andnew screen i will put these outs of folks can take a look, but essentially, it says here [indiscernible] up as seeing this popped a certification process that merchants who rollout emb at the point of sales. it has caught a lot of folks off guard and it was

with are not comparing apples and oranges, but comparing apples and apples. the institutional racism is in existence today. we are only slowly beginning to acknowledge it. beyond, will beyond what happens in terms of enforcement. let me give you a few examples. look at what has happened since the supreme court ruled on the voting rights act. thesupreme court gutted voting rights act. the right to vote is the most basic of our civil rights. this year for the first time in a presidential campaign, 10 states will be enforcing restricted voting laws that did not exist in the last election. even though they can't show any evidence that there was any in-person voter fraud. we are fighting this in court every day. askingng, congress to restore the voting rights act. what happened overnight? what all of a sudden occurred? other than the republicans taking over the house and senate?

good, honest, courageous and fair and love the communities they serve, and we knew they were some bad apples, and that even good cops with the best of intentions, including, by the way, african-american police officers might have unconscious biases, as we all do, so we engaged and listened, and we kept working and to weep build consensus, and because we took the time to listen, we crafted legislation that was good for the police because it improved the trust and cooperation of the community, and it was good for the community who were less likely to be treated unfairly. and i can say this unequivocally, without at least the acceptance of the police organization in illinois, i could never have gotten those bills passed. very simple. they would have blocked them. the point is you need allies in a democracy. that is just the way it is. it can be frustrating and it can be slow. but history teaches us that the alternative to democracy is

to give a tiny example, those 30 students have now gotten offers from google, apple, goldman sachs, from every big company -- and that is very difficult. if you came to the u.s. in two years and told me you are now a software engineer at google, i would not believe it -- but they are working so hard. they are taking it extra step to prove to the world, that extra -- there is this extra motivation for us to prove to the world that we are normal. at the same time, that also drives us to do things, to drive positive change to other syrians . that is when two of me to start this petition. was very frustrated that nobody was doing anything, nobody was saying anything. it was like a problem that was very isolated from the u.s. political scene are from the u.s. humanitarian scene. so i wanted to do this and i did bunch i did it with many of group of amazing people who helped us carry it forward and i am very grateful to the administration for listening to us. after all, we are like, who cares about an immigrant who came from syria? i felt appreciated and i felt that my voice was heard. that is

i don't want to say it's apples and oranges. maybe it's oranges and mandarins. >> okay. kirsten, tom, i don't know if you want to -- no? there's no way in hell i'm going to compare the private sector to the federal with andy sitting right next to me. >> i'm a big guy. >> let me add one thing to that. we risk falling hint if we don't sufficiently fund our efforts. the '17 president's budget with the cnap if it is literally the minimal amount we need to get progress. we cannot go below that or we will absolutely fall behind. >> i do think that the processes, the governance we're talking about, i think we're going to come to an flx point where the difference between what the feds do, what the private sector does, whether organizations -- i think we're moving, i think we're years away from that but i think we will hit a point where there is more parity there. i think it's going to depend on the agency because not every data system, not every critical piece of infrastructure has the same value and i think that's going to really kind of weigh on how much dollars get spent to r

as we go forward, one of the primary priorities for merchants is that if we will accept an apple paid or an android pay, it is important that we have a bilateral agreement with those companies to ensure that we know managed data is being and used so we can better protect our customers. >> very good points. will run down, starting with yourle, and just give us 45 second closing comment. you have done a good start so you may only get 30 seconds. your last remark said it all. if you want to put a tale on that. e: the privacy and security of consumer information has been a fundamental concern of this administration over the past eight years. the first administration that has gone digital. our lives are increasingly digital and it is the first time that we have had to confront these challenges. with initiatives like by secure secure, you can take a segment of the economy that needs security and do tactical limitation of security. hill and thethe next administration will decide to confront issues of privacy and security that they use us as a model in the small places but also looking at the

why should you raise 5.6 million come at a think apple go over 6 million pretty easily. nobody said we store this out as a smaller project was less than $1 million because just kept mushroom and building but nobody talks about that. so we raised 5.6 million the. we have so many happ happy grou, some unhappy veterans and that i see these guys, hillary clinton people outside. of courseoutside. of course, they don't know the extent. they probably figured based on reading the press that trump didn't make, didn't raise this kind of money. we raise a lot and i will be raising more and we'll be sending it to other people as we get along. [inaudible] >> it's a complicated process. [inaudible] >> no, it doesn't. it really, you know, the government sort of approves different groups for a lot of reasons. and so it really does, in more than anything else it's also speaking to other veterans. we have a circle of veterans and who's good, i do want to send a $250,000 check to group that doesn't do good work. it's called bedding. -- vetting.

it's not apples to apples comparison. it's another strike platform and i like having them here. >> u.s. news and world report. can you talk about the kind of momentum that you referenced going into fallujah. are forces preparing to go into the city right now or still shaping operations? what kinds of air strikes are you conducting? general brown: little bit of both. and doing some more dynamic strikes and we have done a number of strikes in fallujah over the course of the past year, 38 or so and what we see is the ground force goes in and our strike tempo becomes more dynamic. what i do see the iraqi forces are moving into the the city and as you look at it as they go into the city. depending on what sector of the city you are looking at. atching air power to strike. >> going back to the question of most you will, i understand you have not changed generally in the number of strikes you are doing, but are the kinds of strikes you are doing changed. has the momentum slowed at all as the iraqis are moving forces more towards

our products and our crops include a variety of vegetables, potatoes melons, apples, pairs and more. in addition to my day job i'm chairman elect for the produce marketing association which is the largest trade association representing companies that market fresh fruits and vegetables. pma represents more than 2700 member companies and 44700 member companies in 45 countries. in the united states are member from growing and processing and wholesaling and retail food servers handle more than 90% of the fresh produce sold to consumers. my testimony today comes from the perspective of the grower. dealing with food race is a complex issue that requires a solution for press fresh produce ghost waste we lose the fruits and vegetables as well as inputs, labor, energy and fertilizer. if the product has been harvest as we lose it even more. our first preference is that fresh produce reaches its highest and best use. at l and m we employ a range of options for produce that is unmarketable to the consumer. several outlets to usable product that is not going to be sold through the intended channe

in this case how to bake an apple pie. what to do? well, i go find my favorite baker in this computer and i ask his or her consciousness how to do it. or do i? you see, in a post-singularity world where our minds co-nestle with other minds, communication may be unnecessary. forget asking. i just transfer the information from baker to me. no loss in information. complete understanding. and as fast as light can allow. you see, communication at its heart is a measure of information transfer efficiency. increase the efficiency and decrease the chance of misunderstanding. and much like that bootleg copy of beyonce's "lem flaid" that i really want, communication in real life is wrought with inaccuracies leaving glitches in my hot sauce. akin to how we can never achieve 100% light speed travel in real life, communication in real life too never achieves 100% efficiency. and we try to achieve that more and more. but technology and empiricism move this farther. how to preserve communications for eons of time to organisms that probably do not un

have tried to make comparisons with the home computing of the early mid-70's which definitely led to apple. this is steve, was, in the famous garage. but still, we move on. by 1981 i was working in type-setting type with a mini computer, and we actually had to refrigerate the room and stuff like that, but it worked and i bought myself a computer. that's not me. that's someone else. but that's the computer i bought. it was a lot of fun. this is the famous star that turned jobs on and here in san francisco where a book designer was using one of the early ones to design and what jobs produce was mac, whereupon it sort of stop being a thinkers game. you had to have professional people to go and deal with it and expand it and so on. and, of course, that led to this and such. around time that it was getting going, the human -- sorry, i keep pointing left because i can see it. the project was trying to figure out how many genes people had and they really didn't know. they didn't know until shortly before the end of it by almost in order of magnitude, most people were guessing a hundred thousand o

to apples basis. what we found is -- they're all cut off -- what we found is that the difference between the army and the navy and the marines were -- there were no longer differences between them. the fact that air force had so much lower rates was not explained at all. in fact after controlling for all the factors, women in other services had 1.7 times the risk of sexual assault as women in the air force, and men in other services hads four to five times the risk of sexual assault as men in the air force. so, what this suggests is there's something that explains quite large differences, four to five times is a big difference in social science research. going on -- there's something that explains the difference between services and we haven't been able to identify what that is. sometimes people ask, well, wouldn't -- if you went to a college campus, wouldn't you find that there was similar rates of sexual assault at a college campus? is this really a military thing? i think evidence of this is one of

what i see in the go to conduct a sort of peace and respect for the environment, thinking about the apple rant at the beginning of respected by the indie spaces. are we engaging sometimes the sake of a public deficit model of public participation? who is the expertise in the settings? who is in the observer, who is the student, who is the teacher? lastly i really want to go back to decide if interrogating equity and access it is this the equivalent of trickle-down technology? who is designed to platforms come user experience, the algorithms? what values are being mechanized if we bring it to market and who stands to profit? so this is our motto at the center for genetics and society, of human genetics, and thank you so much.

and that relates to the bad apples. for those persons who flaunt the a.d.a., they deserve the full weight of enforcement. if they choose to ignore compliance and a lawsuit and the threat of attorneys' fees is the only way to force compliance, then so be it. but on the other hand, if a simple notice is the fastest and cheapest way to solve many unintended and often minor areas of noncompliance, why would we not encourage that? unfortunately not everyone land. with mr. buck lawsuits by a small group of lawyers have skyrocketed. 63% increase from 2013 to 2014, over 4,700 lawsuits filed in 2015. unfortunately there are some whose interests are not aligned with the a.d.a. these attorneys take a different approach. they file first, ask questions later. they sue, settle and move on. their interest is not in actually improving accessibility, but rather only in earning attorneys' fees. many never visit the property, can't tell you what violations may be there, and never bother to confirm whether any alleged violations have been
