This reminds of a situation years ago where a friend of mine downloaded a bunch of archive material from a certain security disclosure site while at work.

Within a day the site had proudly proclaimed that they were being "investigated" by his agency.
Until doctors request higher-frequency testing

What about patients wanting higher-frequency testing? What if the test machine were sitting in my local drugstore, and I could go in, swipe my credit card, and have it run a test on a drop of my blood whenever I wanted to?
I'm willing to bet that the Apple TV has a very weak processor and a similarly weak graphics card, or none at all. Without those, you're limited to (essentially) angry birds, and other games that aren't really associated with the big screen.

I think that Apples reluctance to add gampad/app support is because of the experience. Apple knows that all its devices sell on the seamlesness experience they provide. Assuming that the Apple TV has lower end hardware, they're only going to be able to provide a sub-par experience, which will essentially be a loss to them, brand wise.

EDIT:
Ok, so the processor is the A5, with 512Mb of RAM. This (like I said) is only really good enough for fairly simple games, or poor quality complex ones. Definitely not what you'd expect to play on a "big" screen, so a degraded experience, and not one able to compete with the other big players in the market.
And that would actually seem to be a really reasonable progression for this whole thing. The presenters say "we made an unfortunate judgement call and we apologize" and the conference says "so from now on, here's our short list of rules to avoid uncertainties in the future" and then we all grow up and move on with our lives.

Unfortunately the tech industry seems to be enamoured with not merely being offended, but being offended by the potential that they could have been offended. So we'll circle the drain with everyone beating the drum in support of their own personal agendas for awhile more before this is over.

By that time, someone else will have done something dumb and we'll be ready to have another go.
> Did I indicate anywhere that some people don't have the opposite, poorly formed opinion?

I think that we can agree that there are poorly formed opinions on display here.

> I say offend them even more until THEY accept that not everyone agrees with them.

Why is flat "modern"? I don't understand it. I'm not criticizing it, I think it looks neat, but I just can't understand why, after all this time we struggled to make shadows, rounded corners etc, everything is just flat.

The old logo, warts and all is a classic by now. It's actually surprisingly timeless. In one word it's playful. I wouldn't change it just to follow the latest design trend.
It's about time. Old logo reminds me of times when people used tables to design web-pages.
So instead of just putting it in spam folder, we should have AI try to impersonate a human that is getting stringed along for a scam. It's both an opportunity for passing tuning test and making scammers not be able to ever find a real target.

>They're propagating the belief that women are only interesting as objects of men's sexual desires.

Nope. That's just your interpretation of it and says more about you and your biases than it does about the makers of that app.

>The reason why you probably won't be offended by "ManButtStare" is because such a thing rarely if ever happens.

Yep, because women definitely never stare at men's butts. Basically, women lusting after men is okay because... women just don't lust after men? Men, on the other hand, are to be shamed for expressing their sexual preferences. This is sexism at work.
Thanks for the comments Richard. Since Github uses origin as user's fork of the project, I was trying to distinguish the project's main repository and the user's fork. Admittedly, after seeing comments from other people, trunk probably isn't the best name for it.
I'm not defending or attacking, but I think the idea is that:

Computer UI designs in the past tried to make the user more comfortable by mimicing the textured, three dimensional environment that humans exist in. Look around; every object you interact with outside the computer is shadowy, rounded, bevelled and textured.

The current thinking is that computer UI should not need those real-world cues in order for users to feel at home in the digital environment.

But can you agree that these people complaining about tit jokes are not accepting many other people's opinion that tit jokes are funny and that people should be free to joke about them if they wish?

> Someone's throwing their toys around today?

How so? By pointing out your illogical stance?
Show me proof of prevention.

You are confusing cause and effect.

You are concentrating on a tiny percentage of evidence in the counter direction hugely outbalanced by the weight of evidence in the main direction.

Sexism is a huge problem for women and a tiny problem for men. So small, in fact, it statistically it does not exist.

Look at the balance of the scales not the tiny fleck on one side.

Sexism is about balance not uniformity. It is about power and opportunity. Not everything has to be equal for us to eradicate it.

As long as the problem is stacked against women we should be concentrating on sexism against women.
Indeed. jnardiello was asked if that is what they were doing, or if they genuinely hold that view; and they haven't given a definitive answer.
The biggest thing is that Sony's high-end phone line, Xperia, is in the Android space. So Sony is juggling two ecosystems when they could have one.

Imagine a single unified Sony ecosystem - make a small and large phone/PSP (small like Xperia Play, large like PSP) device and sell both in phone and wifi-only versions. Then bring in the set-top device.

You could make the native remote for your set-top a Move, then you get good interaction with touch-oriented apps.

Personally, if I were Sony I'd just be forking Android and making a de-Google'd form. Then use Sony's massive media and gaming assets to have the mother of all e-shops.
Since the new "security measures" have gone into place. I've instituted a 12- to 14-hour rule: if I can get somewhere by driving there in less than 12 (to 14) hours, I'll drive.

As a tall person, a plane has always been uncomfortable for me. Add to that experience the long security lines and being treated like cattle... nah. It costs me more, but I'll drive.
Redis and postgres are very different tools serving different problem domains. If you're able to swap one out for the other, you might want to reëvaluate your architecture.

Postgres is the C++ of databases. It is well thought out and designed. It seems overly complex at first until you actually use it a lot to solve hard problems, then you understand why it is the way it is and just how great all those features are.
> Inciting a lynch mob is conspiracy to commit murder, so it's not a restriction on free speech that would prevent you from doing so.

On the contrary! The inciter doesn't explicitly call for the killing, rather they froth the crowd up into a frenzy by lies and emotion and then ask what that crowd is going to do about it... right about the time that a convenient victim from the "oppressor group" (Jews/blacks/etc.) comes into the scene.

I'm from the "one set of friends childhood through high school" crowd and I have to admit that it took a few instances of getting dumped into situations where I didn't know anyone (college, first job after college) to get where I was socially comfortable in a new place. I don't have a big opinion on either side, other than too much disruption seems not good for kids if want to teach them the importance of relationships.
This is clever, you often see them release a scaled down previous gen, but never a handheld designed to plug into a TV.

I can see this as a pre-emptive strike on Apple and some kind of controller for the apple tv.

The back catalogue of PSOne games and vita games is a great idea, Sony just need to make sure their online services are up to scratch.

While I agree with your point, I don't see how being physically attracted to a person's symmetry is any different than being attracted to the dimensions of their hips or the size of their breasts other than being more presentable to an audience. It would be more sensible from the standpoint of the presentation, but any of those people pitchforking over focusing on physical attraction to physical attributes of human beings in this thread would have to maintain the same incredulity over one measuring each body part for symmetry.

Hell no. This is standard derailing junk. It goes "my freedom to be an arsehole and drive people away is just as important as other people's desire to work in an arsehole-free environment." It's childish and inconsiderate.

I leave it to you to work out what the petulant part of "I say offend them even more" is.
China threatens tough punishment for online rumor spreading
The linked article makes the point that these sentences are used as a tool of intimidation but don't generally reflect actual sentences. I'm not convinced that's a reason to ignore them: it seems to me that the correct response of a less credulous observer would be to attack the system. Piling bullshit charges on to get extra years and extract a plea bargain is reprehensible. Are they trying to serve justice or collect scalps?

It's funny how tastes shift. This whole "flat" look that's currently in would have looked babyish in the tech space 10+ years ago. And so it goes with bevels, shadows, and all the rest.. looks silly to us now but was de rigeur back then! :-)

Of course, things will continue to shift and today's trendiest looks will seem ridiculous in 2023..
My point was more that license was no reason, Wayland already has a good license. Mir is first under a different license to then require a special CLA to be able to license it differently. In Wayland everyone has the same rights.

>Sex is a biological need of humans. A lot of the tech industry has forward, progressive views on things such as gay marriage. Why retain these puritan, intolerant, purse-lipped attitudes towards sex-positivity?

Because feminism is invading. If you can't see this, you've probably not been a part of the tech industry for too long.
This is coming from an SVN user who is using Git, not a Git user that's providing tips to SVN users.

Well the reasoning is quite simple actually, if you care for freedom then you should care for privacy.

Sorry, but this sounds like the cr*p touted around by politicians and over zealous "patriots", along the lines of "if you don't support the war then you are not a patriot and therefore must support the terrorists".

Despite what most on HN would like to believe, outside of the tech community most people don't care about their privacy being invaded, and the OP is entitled to his opinion of not caring just as you (and I) are too overly caring. I believe that is the true definition of freedom, to be able to make ones own choice?
It's an imperfect comparison yes. We're never given the whole picture, only comparing by miles traveled where of course airplanes go a lot further on each trip. I'd like to see a comparison by time spent on each type of vehicle, or by number of trips, where a lot of drivers make multiple trips every single day and their number of flights would be only a fraction of a percent of that. Not to mention the intuition that a plane crash would certainly result in death, whereas in a car crash you may have a much better chance of survival and recovery.

It would be just as "unfair" to compare driving against crop-dust pilots, which seem to more frequently end up in a crash.
Please prove to me that the majority of women or even a large portion are offended. Nobody has done that yet.

Furthermore, even if you could prove that - percentage has nothing to do with it. That is a completely arbitrary qualifier. Offending people is a birth given right. Get over it.

On Funemployment (and My Next Job)
I have worked for many.

How many female developers does your company have?

Mine has 0/6. My previous company, that actively sought female developers had around 15%, the company before that had 3 out of 100+, before that one out of 30.

Women make up 51% of the population and, at least in the UK, are getting better school results in science & maths than men.

And yet what percentage of the developer population is female? 10%? more? less?

So it looks like either the companies are not taking the more competent developers or the women are less competent.

Are you therefore claiming that female developers are less competent than male developers?
Because it can afford to be now.

There was a time where most people didn't know how to operate a computer. We had to pull all the stops out to make computer use possible or easier for them - skeumorphism is one of the things that came out of that. We hoped that by emulating real-world objects, both in detail (see: iCal) or in more abstract terms (see: "3D" buttons).

Whether or not this ever really helped usability is a matter of debate.

In any case though, basically everyone knows how to use the computer and the web now. The general UI elements and their rules - links, buttons, sliders, etc, are all known to just about everyone. At this point since we've trained everyone, we get to drop some of the frills around the UI without suffering a substantial drop in usability.

That and it's just the style. Why are cars today more beveled and sharper-edged than cars of the 90s? Whatever happened to the big hair of the 80s?
Turnbull is well aware that fibre is the right way to go. They were trying to wedge Labor by not allowing them to get credit for anything.

Labor was not able to communicate its vision or its successes. Rudd was brought I. Far too late to undo the damage. They are now in the wilderness for some time. Yet again.
There's a cute Churchill quote about hiring a prostitute, that seems to apply here.

In short, the comment implied that the First Amendment has an absolute and total protection of speech as a way of saying my larger point is ridiculous.

But speech doesn't enjoy total protection, even in the U.S. And most people would identify some category of thing that they simply wouldn't let people say about another, whether it's stuff like personal and private IM/emails, information useful for identity theft, financial information, etc.

Almost everyone has something that they would say the First Amendment doesn't protect. So now the question people should ask themselves is what kind of other speech would they say warrants no protection? They've already agreed to prostitute their absolute protection of speech, now they need only negotiate on the 'cost'.

Not always. Both can be used as backends for persistent message queues since both have built-in pub/sub. If you do not have high throughput or latency requirements both are perfectly fine for this.

They've actually released quite a few updates that add new channels/apps. But the look and feel of the interface is basically the same. I just want to be able to choose a service and browse selections and play them, and it works fine for that.

There's always the option to connect it via HDMI to whatever TV streaming box is out there. But I'd rather not connect another device and have another remote, etc.
The screen literally just had tits. The whole point of the app was to look at tits. There was nothing else of a woman involved. They really did just take the "tits" part and exclude the rest!
All those effects still have a place in a "flat" design. They're just more subtle and you actually have to go look for them instead of being distracted by them. Their main purpose is to create affordance for UI elements.

For example, the new Google has a very subtle gradient from light to dark; so while you say it's "flat" there is actually simulated light being cast from a third dimension. This helps it stand out on (appear on top of) a uniform background.
Now you're just trolling. Given the response that occurred in the media and in general, I suggest that you prove the opposite.
Agreed, I set up our dev team on Vagrant+Ansible+Github to ensure that we all have identical development deployment environments. Now pushing out configuration changes is as simple as doing a git push and telling everyone to pull and re-deploy their dev hosts.

I've heard that it's cheaper to build, but significantly more complicated and expensive to run because of the maintenance of the copper network and the fact that the nodes require power under the LNP NBN, but not the ALP NBN.

While not exactly a non profit, we are a 'social enterprise' based in India - i.e. our main focus is solving a particular issue rather than profits. We are registered as a for profit. However, it looks like we have literally the worst of both worlds. Investors tell us that we look like a non profit to them, while funding bodies tell us we are ineligible for grants.

Is the answer also registering a non profit organization as well? Is this ethical?
