I don't know the proper terms, but I wonder if scope or venue should prevent the government from doing this. If they got a warrant in order to get this one guy, and now they have him, maybe it should sort of invalidate the warrant. If this court case was opened to try this one guy and he's now plead guilty, maybe the judge doesn't have jurisdiction to order further searches. But I really have no idea, and I'm hoping an expert will pipe in as they usually do on HN. :) I guess if it were this obvious, the judge would have said no... but on the other hand why does he need to hear their opinion on it if it were obvious in the other direction?

I read the government's letter, and it seemed to be a stretch given what I've said above, but again I'm not qualified to say. They did add that "the Feng [guy whose phone they want] matter remains ongoing until sentencing and judgment is entered in the case", which seems a more fair point to me.

Oh, and what about court-ordering the guy to unlock his phone? I thought that was legal (but maybe not in this circuit court?) This would make more sense and overcome some of my objections. It seems a bit contrived that they can put Apple on the hook to produce someone else's information that wasn't shared with Apple -- if it had been, third party doctrine would kick in.

I used to have a large legally obtained CD and DVD collection. Getting a home media server, ripping everything, and using Plex to access is an awesome upgrade compared with physical media. In particular, avoiding physical media that will break for stuff like kids movies is great.

Also, managing all the photos we have and take so that they are available on all our devices is great, especially since we are a mixed iOS and Android household.

Onedrive already "took" my files away, as they degraded features on the PC. Where before in Win 8.1 we had a proxy representation of the Onedrive-files so the feeling was we could access them as they were local, we now have to sync every folder there is in order to access them, which I can't do on all my devices as my Onedrive size exceeds most available space. So everything I can't sync feels like "gone", as I can only access it through the browser.

King is far from being a "one game company". I had the chance to visit their Stockholm offices two weeks ago (they hosted Lua Workshop 2015) and I was rather impressed. They have a whole pipeline in place that results in a few successful games, but for every successful game many more come out of their creation studio, are playtested, evaluated and (for the most part) killed.

They have also invested in a new engine, Defold (http://www.defold.com/), that should let them iterate faster and that they let other developers use. I hope it will thrive under Activision management.
Most of the APIs require data to be gathered, analysed and updated on a daily or weekly basis (e.g. BIN lookup, IP Info, Geocode, IP blocklist, User-agent Info, Phone validate). Some need to connect directly to other networks (e.g. Phone verify, SMS verify, HLR lookup, Host Reputation, Currency Convert). These would be either impossible or quite difficult to implement in a library / local only environment. Others can just be a pain to implement (depending on your setup). Additionally, you gain the advantage of automatically inheriting updates to our algorithms and data sources.

You could also just threaten to cut the transportation workers pensions by €0.37 per year and that would result in a strike thus shutting down the city. Or just announce that Air France executives will be holding a meeting or that we're going to increase Polish vegetable imports.

Pretty much anything could be used to shut down Paris (and France.) If you piss off the mailman, you can achieve road closures with burning piles of donkey poo blocking the intersections.

No need to mess with cutting power. The unions will take care of that for you. Just some clever social media posts and The French Left will take over from there.

Ask HN: Finding initial customers and validating need – online meal ordering
I'm working on a prototype for a SaaS-based online ordering system for prepared meal services, and I need suggestions on how to find the customers (independent chefs). The service would be something they plug-in to their existing site.

The ideal customer would be an independent chef who provides a variety of services, a bit of personal chef, a bit catering, etc - but not successful enough in any one aspect that they are F/T in such. Someone who probably already has a web page on their site saying they're available for meal delivery but don't have a shopping cart to take orders. My service would take a much more immersive/interactive experience to set it apart from a traditional shopping carts. Independent cafes who are interested in providing prepared meals to their customer base would also be good candidates (though they may need the idea planted in their minds first).

The problem is that google is probably not the best way to find these prospects. Out of 100 services I browsed in several cities via various keywords, I may have found 5 worth contacting. I'm concerned this is such a niche that I won't be able to find a large list easily. But maybe they'd be better qualified/more likely interested anyway.

I'd be open to suggestions on how to find them and either reach out or attract. I don't need thousands of prospects/signups - I just need 10 serious/passionate individuals to start (and get something built, tested, with feedback, maybe some word of mouth too), and ideally a way to get between 10-25 each month. If cold contacting works best, I don't mind sticking to that, but I need a better way than google. Maybe some sort of industry related social forums or blogs.

I plan on offering multiple pricing options to see whether they prefer a fixed 3% of each order or prefer a flat $30 or $50/mo with limitations. I've made assumptions of how many orders they'd be taking and average order size to guesstimate the 10-25 customers a month.

Hey there, I'm an admin on the IRCAnywhere help channel (Gnasher), and a friend of the creator. The project is currently discontinued. The creator currently has no time outside of work to dedicate to the project and make updates. Due to a lack of other contributors / pull-requests there won't really be much other development. If it interests you though, feel free to fork it or submit a pull-request. If they're good/appropriate I'll get it checked out and possibly merged in.

Don't worry about that, we might not have amazing growth, but the actual living standards are still amazing in the EU (specifically, Slovenia). If it changes soon (hopefully not), it's more likely to be because of the influx of immigrants/refugees, not because pf the economy.
One thing I'm wondering is whether it might be appropriate (and successful) to simply ask small independent cafes (those who could benefit from more business) whether they want to expand into offering prepared meals. Or would I get shot down 10/10? Would they want to focus more of their business on such, or do they want to stick to those dining in? Would they want an online ordering system when people could just call or come in? That's something I'm not entirely confident in. As of right now I don't have much of a value statement that could make it obvious. The "pain" of having people call/email/come in or the "convenience" of online ordering might not be distinct/contrasting enough.
Cool Objective-C Programming Tutorials
I am always shocked at how marketing-adverse indie game devs are.

Ambient level of marketing competence for indie developers is even below that for e.g. "indie" SaaS companies, which is unfortunate. A lot of them could benefit from simple things like aggressively getting email signups and using them to promote game N+1 to their existing fanbase, as opposed to having to buy their customers back from Valve every single time.

I think you're trying to see something that may not be there. The entire purpose of the blog post was to assure existing and future ChromeOS users that it wasn't going away and they did that. They didn't comment on the merger rumor itself but they addressed one of the major concerns many of the news outlets were discussing.

That's not confused at all. That's very controlled.

That's actually unbelievable when you think about it. One could make the argument that Disney purchased Lucasfilms for a a great price. Disney bought them at a time when Star Wars games and the latest films were sub par.

To echo another commentator's post, King has had sustainable revenue across multiple titles for years. Mobile isn't going away, and I don't suspect King will either.
The synergy is obvious: King will share plenty of F2P monetization design + data to Activision's other mobile titles. Activision will supply King with basically unlimited funds for expansion + very valuable IP.
Any hit that King has on FB/mobile, Activision can bring it onto consoles. And any hit Activision has on the consoles, King can try to bring it on mobile.
Regardless of which platform you're talking about, the Slack app is emphatically not merely a wrapper around the web view. The resource consumption of their various client interfaces can be improved, but what are you trying to compare it to? In that particular context, a better comparison of any of the Slack client apps (native/web) would be Outlook.

Slack is not replacing IRC or XMPP at all. Slack uses these protocols as part of a groupware suite. As discussed elsewhere in the thread, IRC-at-companies draws mixed reactions. XMPP is a protocol that has seen very wide adoption in the enterprise, with many implementations from a variety of vendors, with a variety of resource consumption issues. XMPP is very much a web technology in the sense you're talking about.

And you are correct that it proved to be a very bad stack for something like Slack, when Google first tried it in 2009: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Wave

If you really think Slack has made poor technology choices, I'd suggest reading what Stewart had to say on the subject in this interview: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/182287/The_story_of_Glitc...

Court ordering someone to unlock their phone has been ruled as a violation of your 5th amendment rights and of 4th amendment rights to privacy by an appellate court (don't remember which, was slightly surprised when it happened). Basic logic as far as I can remember was that court can't order you to expose phone to them because phones are essentially an extension of our private thoughts in this day and age. Even if evidence is demonstrably on it (say, via looking at metadata), similar to evidence in your own head - court can't force you to fink.

Plex is significantly different than XBMC. Plex is a media streaming/transcoding platform and organizer. XBMC (or Kodi) is a local media player and organizer.

A properly configured Kodi setup is far more flexible than Plex and offers a lot of significant advantages (PsuedoTV, for example) as well as a larger set of supported formats and playback options.

I use both pretty extensively and the idea of trying to replace either one with the other is distasteful. Different tools for different jobs.
