Two House Republican leaders are demanding answers from the West Point superintendent on a role-play exercise in which cadets were forced to participate focused on “understanding and respecting the pronouns people prefer.” House Armed Services Military Readiness Subcommittee Chairman Mike Waltz (FL) and Military Personnel Subcommittee Chairman Jim Banks (IN) said the role-play exercise centered around “misidentifying gender-neutral pronouns.” In a letter to Superintendent Lt. Gen. Steve Gilland, they wrote: We recently obtained a document for training exercises during a ‘Dean’s Weekend’ at West Point that we feel disrupts and distracts from the education and training that is needed to shape our future military leaders. We also understand that these training courses were mandatory for all cadets, led by cadets, and supervised by faculty. … As Chairmen of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Readiness, and the Subcommittee on Military Personnel, we are concerned these … [Read more...] about Waltz, Banks: West Point Cadets Forced to Participate in Pronoun Play

Development on the foldable iPhone apparently continues as a recently discovered patent application suggests Apple is looking for a way to better protect its device from falls. Available on the website of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (opens in new tab) , the application is called Self-Retracting Display Device And Techniques For Protecting Screen Using Drop Detection. Quite a mouthful, but it does succinctly describe how Apple may aim to minimize damage to the screen. As it’s described, the device will have some kind of sensor inside like an accelerometer. If it detects the iPhone is falling, the sensor will signal an “electronically adjustable latching mechanism” to quickly snap the phone shut. The application does hint the mechanism may not close all the way if the iPhone is too close to the ground leaving it partially open. But that’s fine as according to the patent, “even folding the display to an angle less [than] 180 degrees can [still] afford some … [Read more...] about Apple’s folding iPhone could automatically shut to protect itself from fumble fingers

De ontwikkeling van de vouwbare iPhone gaat blijkbaar door, want uit een onlangs ontdekte patentaanvraag blijkt dat Apple op zoek is naar een manier om het toestel beter te beschermen tegen valpartijen. De aanvraag staat op de website van het United States Patent and Trademark Office (opens in new tab) en heet Self-Retracting Display Device And Techniques For Protecting Screen Using Drop Detection . Een hele mond vol, maar het beschrijft bondig hoe Apple schade aan het scherm wil beperken. Volgens de beschrijving zal de telefoon een soort sensor hebben, zoals een versnellingsmeter. Als deze detecteert dat de iPhone valt, zal de sensor een "elektronisch instelbaar vergrendelingsmechanisme" inschakelen om de telefoon snel dicht te klappen. De aanvraag laat doorschemeren dat het mechanisme misschien niet helemaal sluit als de iPhone te dicht bij de grond is, waardoor hij gedeeltelijk open blijft. Maar dat is prima, want volgens het patent kan "zelfs het vouwen van het scherm … [Read more...] about Apple werkt aan slim trucje om display van vouwbare iPhone te beschermen

Not one to be restricted to just teaching languages, a recently discovered job posting indicates Duolingo is working on a new music app. The company is keeping its cards close to its chest at the moment as the description doesn’t say much about what the software is planning. According to the posting, Duolingo is currently looking (opens in new tab) for someone who can teach certain musical concepts and has “substantial experience with music education” for both children and adults.
