Unfortunately the problem is that it relies on the other person, which is why many places have policies about this sort of thing.

You'll quickly run out of jobs that way. HR can almost never be trusted to do "the right thing". Or rather, the right thing for them is to protect their employer.

You should go to HR anyway as a way to strengthen your case and have a documented precedent, but it should never be your plan A. They cannot be counted on to help you directly, because that's not their actual job.
The attitude of "saying she should stand up for herself, at least once, before going to HR" is hardly "condemning".

That is not the attitude you have been espousing.

Should have checked sooner for replies to my post, sorry!

I actually posted the above review/link in the hope that somebody would mention nilpotent infinitesimals and smooth infinitesimal analysis.

Interesting, in my opinion, is that homotopy type theory (HoTT)[0] has taken Conway's surreal numbers[1] approach. Given that I think HoTT is the correct _foundational_ tack and at the same time I also think that smooth infinitesimal analysis is the correct _calculus_ tack I'd very much like to see the two methods combined.

Ambition: How we manage success and failure throughout our lives
Indeed. I'd be totally for such a system, but as a product, not a service. Some things really should not be managed by third parties - and sadly, our economy is moving towards exactly that.
Definitely agree with one of the comments on the blog - the domain (haxx.se) really doesn't help the author's case here when trying to explain to a layperson.
I think the first problem is that harassment is a loaded term. It implies more than what actually happened.

Harassment, to me, is what bill collectors and bullys do. They call you repeatedly, they post about you on social media. They follow you home.

Why not call it this -- her boss is an asshole, and she didn't call him out on it.

What!? First, it is highly inappropriate for anyone in any leadership or management position to ask anyone to sit on there lap, no matter what their relationship status.

Secondly, making any kind of sexual proposition or advance in the office on someone you are not in a relationship with is sexual harassment.

If you are in a relationship, it's inappropriate and a conflict of interest.

I've been toying around with the idea of SPL, Species Programming Language. See Brent Yorgey's thesis. Like APL, functions would be able to match where they bind within a data structure. Instead of just multidimensional arrays it would handle all combinatorial species; think lists, trees, graphs, cycles, ...

Still haven't found a syntax I like yet. Yorgey and Classen both have nice Haskell libraries as a springboard.

The traditional definition is something along the lines of not being a limiter on the lower rungs of the Maslow hierarchy.

For me, at least, I'd rather use a line of poetry that is clearly already memorised. An old router password was "It profits little an idle king, etc". (Thanks Frasier). I imagine the real winners would be older work with non-current English, or perhaps some good nonsense?

Obviously when someone knows that's my thing it's easier to crack though... I shouldn't have said anything :(
Yes. But I'd rather give it to moxie than anybody else.
Yeah I've definitely considered it. It's on my list of things to do, but I'm also sort of experimenting with the website and trying to optimize the user experience and make the site fun.
Absolutely, though I don't think the term 'sexual offender' is appropriate, that is iirc reserved for people that have been convicted of a sexual offense.
The above advice (grandparent post) is also accurate for countries in Latin America. I vouch for that. HR doesn't have the employee's best interests at heart. It's not that they will actively seek to harm you, of course; it's just that they strive to protect the company at all costs, even if that means undermining you. All other things being equal they will help you, but things are seldom "equal", especially in cases of unjust treatment by a manager, abuse, etc.
Yes, the Lake Wobegon Effect (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Wobegon); aka illusory superiority (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_superiority). I can handle it, they can't.
It's a good point. From a purely procedural standpoint, "Discuss with colleague, contact HR immediately if it persists (or immediately if serious enough), then hire lawyer" is impeccable advice.

On the other hand, from an outcomes standpoint, this gets a lot more murky. "I see you recently graduated and worked for Google for a month?" "Yes, I had to leave under difficult circumstances" isn't a great conversation to be having career-wise, right out of college, interviewing for a replacement job. So I empathize with the blogger's confusion as to the right course.

Same problem as whistle-blowing.
>It would be harder to provide a premium service airline with all more-expensive seats

It's been tried and, by and large, it doesn't work because too many people just buy on price. There are some minor exceptions--e.g. British Airways all-business London City to New York route but that's obviously a pretty special case.

Economy Plus is just more legroom. It may include priority boarding as well. I believe it primarily exists as a perk for frequent flyers (which I am). I've been told that, otherwise, you may not be able to book it until some number of days before your flight.
You feel like she is lacking self confidence??? That is just about the most ridiculous thing I have ever read. Her manager (aka 'someone with a disproportionate amount of control over her career') asked her to sit on his lap, talked about how 'everyone' has an Asian fetish at some point, and asked her out for dinner alone. She tolerated it up to a point and then went to HR. How in any possible sense of the term can that indicate a lack of self confidence?? And why the hell are you blaming her and not the asshole who put her in that situation???
> Hold a door?

I don't think holding a door has ever been seriously considered harassment. Yes, some people do get upset by it.

> Wink ;-) in an email or IM?

If you need emoticons in professional correspondence you should probably rethink what you're trying to say. I also don't think an emoticon has ever been considered harassment.

> Tell an off-color joke?

A. What's your definition of off-color?

B. Unless you're a comedian, you probably shouldn't be telling racist/sexist/offensive jokes at work anyway.

> Complement female coworkers outfit?

Unless you're working in fashion I don't think you have any reason to do this, especially if it's not someone you wouldn't consider a friend. Here's a good rule: If you don't have a "chat on the weekends" type of relationship with someone, you probably shouldn't be commenting on their personal appearance at work.

> Stand too close in an elevator or inline at the canteen?

I think everyone can imagine that this has been done intentionally to make someone uncomfortable, especially in an elevator or in line.

> Getting caught looking at a female coworkers boobs?

Of course it's harassment, Jesus.

> Why can't anyone have a sense of humor about any of this?

I know, right?! I mean, I was just standing half an inch away from you in an empty elevator, commenting on how you were dressed and staring at your chest. Have a sense of humor about it!

It doesn't matter how "good" the product is if you're not talking to the users and uncovering their need for it. What you've said here doesn't contradict the point of the article - determining an unarticulated need and meeting it is the true measure of how a successful product is built. The fact that you can easily trivialize something successful's true purpose, without doing the legwork to find out what need it's meeting is the logical fallacy enforced by failing copycat products.

People in digital audio forums debate what's a better sounding backup medium: CD-R or hard drive or Dropbox. They swear they can hear a difference. Yet the sha-1 hashes match.

And these are not dumb people; it just shows you what happens when you get a bunch of enthusiasts in a forum. By the time somebody steps in to say "huh?!" it's unstoppable.
So what are you supposed to do if you are attracted to someone at work, never make a move? Women need to be more forgiving and take it as a compliment, unless someone continues after a clear rejection (which is the definition of harassment).

"No accident. The "victim" shares the responsibility of standing up for themselves. This culture of victimhood has helped no one but Tumblr."

A sexual harassment is analogous to a situation where a person hits another person, the other person fails to duck/block and gets hit in the face. I really can't see how the victim could be responsible for getting hurt.

The fact that some people have practiced the art of boxing and could have avoided it easily does not change this situation.

Person-to-person interaction is quite different from feeling victimized due to a general phenomena.

... which, while necessary for the IoT dream, is a very very very dangerous thing.

Another downside of an upside is the idea of over-the-net updatable firmware for all devices in your house. The unfortunate flipside of easily-updated-by-the-vendor software is that the initial software will not be fully tested--"we can fix any 'little' bugs later"--and future releases will also not be adequately tested. Not to mention the glaring security hole when your entire house is run by devices and sensors that can be updated remotely.

It's going to get messy...
Your comment shows another problem: Myths stay around.

This problem was technically fixed 13 years ago, yet I still hear this claim on a regular basis. (Unfortunately it is still a problem if you have a large user basis with legacy clients, meaning mostly Windows XP and very old Androids. But for most people that shouldn't matter.)
No it is not bullshit.

This whole topic is filled with loaded words like "harassment" and "victim."

Furthermore, workplace harassment laws are tipped in the females favor. If she even perceives something, then it happened.

If you think that sending a wink to someone is treating them as a lower life form, then I don't think there is much I can say...
Actually, yes. The vast majority of snail mail I receive is open catalogs and other junk mail. Its content is entirely public.
> not because it was forced upon us against our will.

In a sense it was forced upon us. You see, we were whipped into a frenzy where the most likely thing to do, given our emotional states, was support whatever the perpetrators wanted in the first place.

It's a trick that works all the time.
I don't want to discourage you, but I also don't want to encourage the proliferation of websites (web apps---as an alternative to actual desktop software---excluded) that require JavaScript to function at all.

Sites using JS only cannot be parsed by standard tools---I can't cURL the page, use wget, use a text-mode browser, etc. This fundamentally breaks interoperability, and limits users' freedom to use the tool/browsers they want to use the web. Users who wish to disable JavaScript to browse the web---be it for security, privacy, philosophy[0], or all of these things---are forced to either enable JavaScript or not read your website (I fall into the latter).

I write more JavaScript than any other language. I understand the community, and the rationale. But I know enough to know that I should disable JavaScript when browsing the web (except for select cases, and the software must be Free), and I still use command-line tools aggressively, even for the web. Please do your best to respect those who use the web as it was intended.

Keep hacking, but consider fallbacks, too!

It's not really "far superior" unless you have such high status that you always get upgraded--which is going to require something in the 100K+ miles/range. Airline Clubs and TSA Pre also help although those aren't directly related to frequent flyer status. There are some benefits to mid-tier status (e.g. Economy Plus on United) but you're still pretty much just flying coach and have all the same issues related to flight delays etc. as everyone else does.
Well, he does explain it:

"Modern password crackers combine different words from their dictionaries"

And then he goes on to give his advice (of using a password manager or a piece of paper, etc). Is it that advice that you're contradicting?

You also said "..but that's not what is claimed". Are you referring to the implied claim in the original XKCD cartoon (https://xkcd.com/936) or something else? I'm just trying to understand.

The sad part is that at a lot of companies doing this will mean your time at the company is coming to a close. I've seen co-workers who complain to HR go from being an important team member to being managed out of the organization. It seems that a lot of the time a corporation will remove the culprit along with the victim to keep themselves safe.
Easy to say on paper, but people quite understandably have friends, family and other attachments that tie them to a place... and that's even if they can get remote work. Most people still need to be physically present. Especially down the lower end of the pay scale.
>>"culture of victimhood"

You seem to have trouble between people who play the victim for attention (which is what that phrase refers to) and those who are actually victims. Just because some victims are capable of defending themselves doesn't change anything.

Your mother was a victim too.
Again I don't want put any judgement, but maybe the lap thing was only a bad joke, it all depends on how it is asked. And maybe there was a misunderstanding between the 2, she could have taking thing too seriously while the manager was trying to lighten the mood.

I host "small sites" with a shared hosting provider. Those clients who require or desire it, don't really baulk at the SSL cert and dedicated IP cost. Typically it's around $100/year.
You do not need a "clear rejection" to make something harassment. If I've never spoken to someone but I spend ten minutes a day staring at her chest, that's harassment.

If I ask someone out, they say yes, and keep rescheduling 100 times, me continuing to ask them out and not take the (subtle, non-obvious) hint is still harassment.
I applied this to some pieces of Daala's entropy coder:
https://review.xiph.org/763/#msg2

The output needs a bit of manual review (see the mixing of 32-bit and 16-bit accesses to the same register in the second example), but it was definitely able to find something non-obvious in a sequence far too long for exhaustive search.
> I cannot imagine a scenario where retaliating against an employee for reporting sexual harassment would minimize a company's risk.

As the initial point of contact for a sexual harassment complaint, beginning to construct a paper trail that explains the superior's behavior and puts blame for the incident on the employee?

I'm not saying this as pro- or anti-HR, just that as the document-keeper of record they have a lot of latitude to influence the narrative if they choose to. Remember: performance reviews tend to go through them at some point as well.

Not close to death, it's just not a unicorn. They can IPO whenever they want as long as they claim a correct valuation.
>one unexpected trip to the dentist, before you have to start picking and choosing what bills to pay.

Note that the article assumes poor white people all have salaried jobs with great medical insurance plans, or at least get sick pay. Of course they don't.

Therefore the article doesn't understand that lots of people fall into the trap of not fixing something when its small, and instead end up lowering the average lifespan.

Look at, say, alcohol addiction. Lack of medical coverage means if you got treatment your whole family would get the economic death penalty via direct and indirect costs, ruining all their lives, or you can auger in and ruin just yours. Either way, all outcomes of addiction are decreasing average life span.
Yes, pharma companies can tell what brands a specific doctor prescribes. Pharmacies sell Rx information to companies like IMS who sell it to pharma companies or pharma companies pay the pharmacies themselves for the information.

Dude! Same here! I'm moving a C#/Silverlight behemoth into React. I'm the only guy working on it, but my boss basically wants me to build something he can work on (not a JS guy!) so he doesn't have to employ me as much. I have 2 weeks left before I go back to college in another state for the semester.

And it's hard to remote because we have a poorly architected and somehow buggy SVN repo. git-svn can't load SVN history from it, so I don't get to use that. Still using VS2010 for the C# to target Silverlight 4, using my own free .edu ReSharper license, just factored out an entire Service from behind a C# Web Api by exposing solution-wide data classes.

Best bit? I don't have any concrete spec to build to. All I have is that it should look 'a bit like this'.

RIP me.
"Network monitoring system" makes me think of routers, switches, Mbps / Gbps, etc. This seems more like a "server monitoring system."

Yes, it's a complex and mixed picture on both sides.

I think one of the reasons I have a successful marriage is that when we first got together we had absolutely nothing and were just struggling to survive. Everything we achieved has been an improvement that we have done together.

Too many people nowadays seem to expect perfection from Day One and when that doesn't happen they take the easy way out by walking away.

I find it interesting that there is a negative correlation between having a honeymoon and having a successful marriage. People get married with an enormous party and then go on the holiday of a lifetime. They come back and it's all downhill from that point.

By contrast we had a 2-day coach mini-break to Scotland.

I was Best Man (and my wife Matron of Honour) for our closest friends. Their honeymoon was three nights in a tent on the East Coast (of England).

Another friend went into debt having a massive holiday in the Maldives, (against my advice - I was his Best Man also). He is now divorced. Compare and contrast.
I wonder how many people mistakenly bought it as a self-help book :)
