It is well possible to attach a TV and a gamepad to an iPhone - there is an official adapter that plugs into the iPhone's lightning port and gives you an HDMI port and a vacant lightning port.

I don't know what functionality does that provide though. That probably does just screen mirroring + charging.
I've experienced this at one workplace, and I had to install some anti-virus software on my Linux workstation. But it already existed. (It may have even been open source.) I'm not sure how it helps Microsoft to also introduce a product for this.
Does anybody else find this idea that forge welded steel == damascus steel annoying? I don't really know what damascus steel is supposed to be, but forge welding isn't exactly an arcane technique, and certainly didn't originate in damascus. Calling forge welded steel damascus also seems to imply it should be unusually strong or whatever, which is not necessarily the case. I'm not even sure if there was another method of welding prior to the invention of resistance welding.

How the leaks were taken from other sources and manipulated: https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/qkjevd/guccifer-2-is-bull...

>Guccifer 2.0 — believed to be a misinformation campaign operated by Russian intelligence — posted an 860-megabyte file on Tuesday afternoon that he claimed was donor information he hacked from Clinton Foundation servers.

>A sampling of the posted documents include a spreadsheet of big bank donations, a list of primarily California donors, an outdated spreadsheet of some Republican House members — and a screenshot of files he claimed to have obtained, one of which was titled “Pay to Play.”

>But there are a number of red flags that suggest the documents are in fact from a previous hack on the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), not a new hack on the Clinton Foundation.

>A spot check of some of the people on the donor list against FEC filings found that they all lined up with DCCC contributions.

>How do you manage reading every code of conduct and honoring it?

I don't think perfect adherence should be expected. If there's a code of conduct and someone runs afoul of it, just give them a gentle poke and point them to what they ran afoul of. If they're cool with the code of conduct, great. They fix their behavior and everyone's happy. If they don't like the code of conduct, then they're welcome to join a community with a code of conduct that better matches their outlook. If they continue to stick around anyway and violate the code of conduct after being informed what they're doing wrong, they get the boot.

Where this gets stickier is when you build monolithic communities like Stack Overflow where "the boot" is actually seriously punishing. I only ever moderated little game forums where the consequences of a ban were far less severe. Which is why I tend to think it's better to have small distributed self-managing communities rather than monolithic communities. Makes it easier for diverse outlooks to live-and-let-live without requiring minorities to conform to the majority.
We shouldn’t assume those tests and errors are independent, they probably aren’t, but you are right that the overall error rate would be inflated.
Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. In the marketplace of ideas, both Symbian and BeOS eventually won the argument.

They didn't win commercially.
I don’t need a basis other than feelings now. However my feeling are invalid because they are not the currently beloved norms.
I like the style/iconography change but I hate the full width layout for the header. On a 27" screen you now have to look left for the tabs and all the way to the right to see number of stars. Before you could instantly see the count of issues/stars to know popular a repository is by looking directly in the center of the screen, now information feels unnecessarily scattered.

Unless your definition of “game” primarily covers Japanese or Chinese apps you play to build a deck of playing cards by collecting spent $100 App Store prepaid cards through the process of paying iAP to collect digital arts of featureless girls with superbright skin made of raw springroll wrap, difference between Japanese and Chinese being either the girls consists of those {are FTM, has absolute flat chests, are chemically castrated men} or {has breasts larger than a sack of football, has breast larger than a sack of football and hair made of bare optical fibers}, then you’re spot on. As for “games” that falls into this category Apple loves them.
You can build a house with bricks. But you also need adhesive. And past a certain (very low) complexity, you probably use wooden framing, cut to size. And a different material for the roof, and glass for the windows and some kind of insulation, plastics for piping, and so on and so on and so on. And that’s not even getting started on more complex buildings.

As for electronics, yep, you start with discrete components, but as you said yourself, you quickly end up with specifically designed components for efficiency.
> If anybody really cares about black lives they should be deeply concerned with gang violence, human trafficking, drugging minors, etc. Where are the conversations about that?

There's no question that BLM is being hijacked by groups with entirely different agendas - most of whom couldn't care less about black lives.

...but this argument is a logically flawed whataboutism. It's entirely reasonable to protest a lesser problem. It doesn't mean you don't care or work to fix the larger problems.
Perhaps just that that combination does not have the best track record in that regard. Their war on science, etc.
Yeah the dev has commented on that. It sounds like they had a legit use case and will be using the new API.

This analysis elides the fact that all OSes in the Symbian era had to compulsively ask about accessing the Internet because data usage was at such a premium.
Microsoft's cut is pretty small (5%, or 15% if the software is discovered through the store [1]). I think there's a more important consideration though: buying Krita through the Windows Store makes it more popular on the Windows Store, which means it gets recommended (advertised) to more people. I think 5% is arguably worth it to grow the user base.

People don't give Microsoft money for a product that's not by Microsoft. If Microsoft offers one, and can even claim that they cover all platforms with one overarching offering, companies pay them for it.

People might pick the news they want to hear; but thinking this is "fine" is an appeal to ignorance.

Ignorance is not strength.

For whatever it's worth I was raised dirt poor, central Britain in a city that had been in rapid decline for many decades- Yet I believed, fiercely that Europe was less than Britain, that Muslims were coming for our benefits and our women and that Britains colonial past was something to be admired, we had brought civilisation to the world. I believed that I was born "rich" compared to the rest of the world and I had a birthright to be taken care of.

I don't have to tell you how much it hurt me to learn how ignorant, bigoted and wrong I was.

How much taking in things that were true conflicted so concretely with what I believed that I rejected it outright.

Obviously my opinions have changed, but allowing me to hide from the world would not have done that. Only stepping forward and being exposed to that which causes discomfort allows for it.
> low-n counts as separate concepts

But how would that work?

I agree it probably doesn't "understand" math, but it has learned that number words can substitute for each other in a sentence (three ships/four ships/five ships) which isn't surprising.

But it has somehow learned to link that word with the correct length of the sequence of names, which is astonishing. I can't think of obvious "cheats" that make this work.

The best I can think of is that is has learned to count commas when they are separated by words.

WikiLeaks Turned Down Leaks on Russian Government During U.S. Presidential Campaign

https://foreignpolicy.com/2017/08/17/wikileaks-turned-down-l...

>In the summer of 2016, as WikiLeaks was publishing documents from Democratic operatives allegedly obtained by Kremlin-directed hackers, Julian Assange turned down a large cache of documents related to the Russian government, according to chat messages and a source who provided the records.

>WikiLeaks declined to publish a wide-ranging trove of documents — at least 68 gigabytes of data — that came from inside the Russian Interior Ministry, according to partial chat logs reviewed by Foreign Policy.

>The logs, which were provided to FP, only included WikiLeaks’s side of the conversation.

>“As far as we recall these are already public,” WikiLeaks wrote at the time.

>“WikiLeaks rejects all submissions that it cannot verify. WikiLeaks rejects submissions that have already been published elsewhere or which are likely to be considered insignificant. WikiLeaks has never rejected a submission due to its country of origin,” the organization wrote in a Twitter direct message when contacted by FP about the Russian cache.

Assange would later go on to propagate and distribute manipulated leaks sent by Guccifer 2.0 and other known Russian fronts like the "CyberBerkut" promotion of his I linked at the thread top.

Ask HN: How to structure JV for SaaS with existing IP?
I develop and maintain a website / research platform for a former colleague. I introduced some novel ideas into their research platform, a year or so ago, utilising some common machine learning models. They are very happy with the work.

They paid me for this work at an hourly rate. I have been quite generous partly because I consider my former colleague to be a friend and also because I felt I would learn something useful. I feel they now have an excellent system that is robust and for an incredibly cheap price.

They would now like to market the whole platform as SaaS. My former colleague has a very good reputation within their industry and plans to sell the platform to other businesses in the same field.

They've offered to form a Joint Venture with me for the new setup. I would be responsible for developing and managing the platform and they would be responsible for marketing it.

I'm quite aware of the extra effort involved converting the existing code base into a SaaS and the additional overhead of maintaining the product for multiple customers. It's a lot of work.

I also have a day job and a family life. The day job is well paid and family life can be quite demanding.

I see the benefits of the JV. I will gain 50% of the Intellectual Property that I have already developed. My former colleague/friend has a good chance of successfully marketing the suite and perhaps I might quit my day job sooner than planned.

I also can't help seeing asymmetry in the effort, that is writing code + testing, live support, systems setup etc vs selling the system (which unfortunately I envisage as having the occasional lunch/calling up old friends & perhaps asking for favours). I might be overplaying this part.

I was wondering if anyone here had any thoughts? Perhaps others have had similar experiences with success or maybe it didn't work out?
This isn't a value judgement, but if enough users sideload or use the open market governments will probably have to step in to advocate permissions checking because Apple won't have the influence to regulate developer behavior on their platform(s).

You can sort of see this on other platforms - the Mac App Store has very few quality apps listed on the store and Apple is further moving towards locking down root permissions b/c users can download apps or install software from anywhere on the web. It's typical for users to install anti-malware software on new Android devices, etc.
I'm generally on Assange's side in all of this. I agree he shouldn't be charged and this is all a disgrace.

Having said that, I once went to wikileaks and found a PDF of Steve Job's supposed STD test which claimed he was HIV positive. That was a surprise to me as my understanding was that he died of cancer. I looked into it and no one could corroborate the story and the general consensus seemed to be that it was faked.

Even if it was real, I struggle to see why it's important to leak the private medical records of someone with a deadly STD, although I'm sure there are multiple perspectives on this.
The arrogance of some people online is astounding.

Symbian was great! I got a used Nokia 6110 Navigator around 2008 (I was 12/13) and it was mindblowing to me. It had GPS, and I could download apps from the internet that would do stuff with the GPS and send data in real time to my computer.
> make value judgements

There is a whole branch of philosophy dedicated to that: it's called Ethics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethics).

When an entire branch of philosophy exists for that sole purpose, categorizing things into to "bad" or "good", in whatever area, is oversimplifying.
"Everyone else did it better" - by some very loose definition of "better" maybe. Author is agreeing that Symbian failed for good reasons at the very end of a very short blog post.
Why not do this for everything? Perhaps it could even replace ordinary keyboards.

By the way I once tried playing a first-person shooter or a PS3 using its gamepad - it felt like controlling an excavator (which is quite hard do fast and agile enough to evade and shoot an enemy). I believe a VR-like sensor could be as convenient as a mouse is.
This ignores that the web has birthed a global culture of people where participation in online discussion is the majority of their lives. And they sit around looking to be offended to raise their own social value amonst their online peers.

Being offended is about obtaining value and for mobs to obtain power.

The two way street of both trying to not offend AND the listener trying to honestly interpret what is being said goes out the window

Whenever you have a bad actor on either side of communication, it breaks down.

The common wisdom, though, is that the bad actor is always the speaker.

And its simply not true.

The other problem is, as a culture, everyone is responsible for everyone else's emotions. No one is asked to be responsible for their own.

I don't have a problem with codes of conduct per se.

I do have a problem with a culture that constantly asks people to not be responsible for how they process information. Even negative, even offensive information.

Relationship therapists teach couples to use "I" language vs "you" language to express feelings (Google it if you don't understand)

This way you take responsibility for how external stimuli makes you feel rather than making your partner wholly responsible and thus making discussion adversarial

This problem is happening in FOS projects or even just social media in general.

Everyone is a soccer player, falling down, grabbing their leg hoping to get the most people feeling sorry for them, claiming 1% if the bullies and edgelords out there are some dominant social group. It's crap
By "trivially discredited" do you mean just slapping some "-ist" label and boom, it is done?
Of course - and thank you for asking. One of my friends is a paramedic who primarily works in ambulances in LA.

One day, he arrives at a scene after a passer-by called 911.

A homeless man is lying on the street on top of garbage and cardboard boxes. There is urine and feces everywhere - it's a bad situation - and there are used needles lying next to the man.

The man is obviously in medical distress, and is unable to respond. When they try to attend to him, he wakes up and swears at them and swats at them, but then says he feels like he's dying and wants help. When they come close again, he again swears at them and swings at them.

As a matter of protocol, they have to radio in to headquarters and explain their situation.

This is tricky - they have to be politically correct about how they describe him. He's visibly degrading quickly, and may soon die if they don't intervene, but instead, they have to spend previous time on the radio making sure they use all the politically terminology so that no offense is caused - describing the homeless in California is a very politically charged subject and they could be disciplined if they use the wrong words.

If he is going into cardiac arrest, seconds can be the difference between life and death, and they're using them on trying to remember all the correct terminology and socially-acceptable phrasing.
