Art software startups are a tough proposition. Google invests heavily in art and offers it on Chromecast as a screensaver. Amazon does the same on Fire Stick. Neither is customizable nor allows any interaction and discovery, but it's just good enough as free to make it tough to do anything unique at the consumer end. Art is low on the list of things most people want to access regularly, let alone pay for.

I had a startup that was working on easy art access. Essentially A Spotify for Art with both public domain and contemporary art. Decided the market just isn't there. But may do a Kickstarter of the device or run a simplified version of the software people could access for free or very cheap and see if any interest develops.

To elaborate on a tough situation, Google does show some contemporary art in its Chromecast rotations but the artist is not reimbursed for it. It's all done in name of publicity. Companies working in this area have a market on one side of artists who have little money, so you are a cost to them even to digitize their works. And on payer side you have numerous free art resources from museums. And Google who uses it as a culture talking point and just-good-enough feature in their products.

I think there are several markets in art delivery but it will take connections, money, and luck to prise it open.
On Bitcoin exchanges, sure. But here I think there's too much liquidity and automated trading.

Why should MIT grads listen to this guy? He's a suit, a politician. His contribution to the world is 2 parts of three eights of stuff all. Why is he even asked to give this speech? Fame. Because he's a suit at the top of the "APPLE" political ziggurat.

Let's have George Clooney or a Kardashian give speeches to engineering grads telling them how to think? They're more famous than Cook. And arguably have done more in tech, not much less.

Then there's this asshole who literally uses a commencement speech to bash a tech rival. If apple had "Likes" would he be saying this? MIT are supposed to be better than this.
"Usually a sexual assault occurs when someone touches any part of another person's body in a sexual way, even through clothes, without that person's consent."

A forced kiss could definitely be interpreted in that way, especially after being told to get lost.

The involvement of 'sex organs' is optional.

Let's parse that statement that you quoted:

> Sexual assault is any type of sexual contact or behavior that occurs without the explicit consent of the recipient.

Lack of consent: check

Sexual contact or behavior: check

Note the 'any type'.

> Falling under the definition of sexual assault are sexual activities as forced sexual intercourse, forcible sodomy, child molestation, incest, fondling, and attempted rape

Force: check

These are things that definitely fall under the term sexual assault, and a kiss goes quite a bit further than 'fondling', especially if it has already been indicated that such a kiss - and then there are kinds of kisses - is not welcome.

If I was on the defending side I'd hate to have to try to present the McClure case in a way that it might end up in this bracket, possibly that list is exhaustive and as long as the word 'kiss' isn't in the list you might get into 'sexual battery' but frankly I think that's just terminology, if the lady felt assaulted I don't fault her for picking the wrong narrow legal term and I suspect that in plenty of places the judge would see it in the same way.

Thanks for stepping forward. It takes a lot of courage to come out publicly with such a personal story, especially when the offender is as well-known as Dave McClure.
I suppose I don't fit the scientific definition of a slow metabolism. I clock in at around 1800 calories per day, which is within a nominal range. That said, I cannot eat the way the rest of those around me can without gaining huge amounts of weight. I've lost 100lbs and it took a lot of time to figure out that I just can't eat the same as my friends do and maintain a healthy weight.
The overwhelming majority of HN votes don't come from "the valley". And to the extent we have data on this the geographical trend is probably opposite to what you're suggesting.

No it shouldn't. It should be a personal decision for each individual.

First question: which PR agency hand-crafted that disingenuous apology on Dave McClure's blog?

Second question: did 500 Startups foot the bill (the allegations are kryptonite to their brand)?
That's what the DOJ says. But the standards in the individual states, where these cases are certain to be prosecuted if at all, vary wildly. In some, the assault has to involve an intimate body part. In some, the contact has to be (ugh) "penetrative". In some, any form of coerced touching done for sexual arousal will qualify.
This seems like a inevitable issue with any metaphor. It will always supply unwanted associations.
Apple, Google and Other Nasdaq Stocks Swing Wildly in After-Hours Trading
It was isolated to a single exchange GDAX and happened with both Bitcoin and Ethereum at different times.
It's a classic he said / she said situation. Based on how he isolates the women, this is exactly the scenario he wants. No witnesses and plenty of time and space to wiggle out of his own culpability if it should arise.

His apology speaks volumes about his process
He should have used the E-Class/5-Series/A6 segment, not one below. Then the price difference after incentives is a bit over 10k. While going up market the difference can be more than twice that much.
The equities markets have Limit Up/Limit Down bands (LULD bands) that prevent big swings in prices. Like the other commenter said, your strategy might work in cryptocurrency markets, but not in equities.

Facebook's killer app was being the phone directory.

Once upon a time, there were paper mail and landline phones, with a directory where you could look up pretty well anyone's address and phone number. That was really useful; it was lost in the email years between letters and Facebook messenger.

Since no one got a distributed internet directory to work back then, it's hard to imagine that there will be one in the future. And so we're doomed to Facebook.

The case of «das Mädchen» is a mere historical curiosity and doesn't require the memorisation as long as long the person in question is acquainted with basics of the German noun formation, i.e. the "-chen" suffix in German, when added to a noun of masculine or feminine gender, unequivocally results in the "neutralisation" of the noun gender, as well as the "umlautisation" of the stressed vowel of the noun being gender bent, eg. der Hund + "-chen" -> das Hündchen. It's a very simple rule, really.

I dont think you can fault MIT here. The first MIT CS degree was awarded in 1975 the same year that saw the first female MIT CS degree awarded.

I think it's important to clarify what "our industry" means, though. I think it's a mistake to lump it all into "tech", because that misses some important root causes. I think there are a bunch of different things going on:

1. With respect to VCs preying on female entrepreneurs, this doesn't shock me in the slightest. Wherever you have this huge power imbalance, coupled with large numbers of people who are extremely reluctant to jeopardize their "big break", you will see this kind of abuse. It was/is common in Hollywood, and I think the Catholic Church sex scandals have a ton in common. If you have a situation with that type of power imbalance, unless you have a very detailed and specific process to deal with predators, that kind of abuse will happen.
2. I think what Susan Fowler described re: Uber has a ton to do with the extremely aggressive culture Uber set up. In fact, a lot of the "villains" in Susan's story were, surprisingly, women. I think the tough question is how to you "rein in" that type of aggressive culture when it was so successful for Uber originally.
3. Finally, with regards to how women are treated in general in tech, I think a lot of the unconscious biases people hold, how people react differently to men's ideas vs. women's, need to be discussed more openly and with a goal of making everyone more aware of their own prejudices without fear.
You're confusing the absence of explicit consent for its explicit denial. Yes means yes, no means no, and starting things up without an explicit conversation is a long and convoluted debate... And what happened here was not that. This was firmly "no means no" territory. Once somebody has asked you to leave, that's a pretty goddamned firm "no".

Yes, there are long and troubling discussions about how so much of sexual advances are silent and how it's hard to discuss consent with those, but this story was way the hell outside of that grey area.

No means no.
This story isn't emphasizing an important point: the stock price of many tech companies - amazon, google, Microsoft - were pegged to exactly $123.46 for multiple hours.

This is likely 123.456 rounded to 2 decimals.

To me this smells like a software testing bug or hack, rather than "stocks crashing"

This is an excellent justification for something like Patreon, and for all the speech that YouTube must know is a nonstarter for advertisers, they should integrate or replicate Patreon for their creators.

This isn't all or nothing. Your use of "every white person's success" is just contentious: nobody suggested what you argue against. On the other hand, suggesting white privilege is absent (different from completely responsible for) any white person's success is just wrong: that privilege is systemic and gives every white person an advantage, even if it isn't totally responsible for any white person's success. Replace "white" with "male" for a similar argument regarding gender.
Good eye. That was probably the case.

Except S-Class sales went up in 2013 and skyrocketed in 2014. Overall it seems like the introduction of a new model by Mercedes had far more effect than the Model S and then it fell off because it got older. 7-Series sales were probably also mostly affected by an ageing car.
Here in Canada gift cards do not expire (IIRC there is a law against it). Is this not the case elsewhere?

I know myself and many other people prefer gift cards because it forces you to buy something for yourself instead of just adding it to the savings account. It shows slightly more thought than just hard cash as well.

Direct aplogies to victims are addressed to those victims, they do not tend to be written as open letters for the world to read and don't usually attempt to whitewash the situation in which the encounter took place so the perpetrator looks better. If he'd left that part out it would be a lot better, if he left out the self congratulatory bits it would look better still. If that had been the only case then the book could be closed but it appears that that one encounter really was the tip of the proverbial iceberg and I really hope for mr. McClure that there isn't any worse down the line for him because this could end up being both expensive and possible a legal issue. Just this encounter alone would be enough to get him booked in many places.

You expressed an ideal view of what teaching should be, and could be if there is the time and funding for it.

However, you did not actually address my points.

When is the teacher supposed to research it? Teachers are already busy at school, and many end up also working at home. Will they get extra time at work for this research, or will it be more unpaid work for them at home?

Or will some existing demands on their time be removed, and if so, which ones? Will those demands be eliminated, or will the school hire additional staff?

When is the teacher supposed to explain it to the student? Which other topics should be covered less or skipped?

On top of that, this is the state of Florida, which has been deprofessionalizing teachers. The state removed tenure a few years ago, and switched to yearly contracts. Lawyers for the state argued in court that "reports card are meaningless and don't show if someone can read at grade level". (See http://curmudgucation.blogspot.com/2017/06/fl-death-to-publi... for more examples.)

This is the state that won't require 20 minutes of daily unstructured playtime for elementary school because 'There is a lot of emphasis on performing well on the mandated tests,” United Teachers of Dade president Karla Hernandez-Mats said. “Therefore teachers focus on utilizing every minute of instructional time.” http://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/state-po...

This despite research showing how important recess is for the physical, mental, and social development of elementary school children.

That development isn't on the standardized tests. Neither are oddball/bullshit questions. Florida is doing all it can to de-incentivize a teacher from taking the time to "research it, understand it and explain to the student who is asking the question".
>I have yet to see a female friendly company in IT.

This is a very different claim than what you made above. Even within a company, a minority of people can cause a majority of the problems. Indeed, for any toxic behavior I can think of, it only takes one employee to take down a team, and the problem often spreads beyond that team. I see no reason to believe sexual assault is any different.

Again, the question of if we are in situation 1 or 2 is vitally important. If we are in situation 1, then we are looking at a generational struggle to change men's attitudes towards women. Essentially, we need to wait for the old guard to die off, then wait for the new guard to die off, then hope that our actions made the new-new guard behave respectably.

If we are in situation 2, then the above solution is almost useless. Instead, we are facing a managerial problem where we fail to root out the bad actors. As with any other toxic behavior, this can cause them to contaminate the entire environment. Of course, in this context, "manager" does not only refer to the managers of companies, but also the "managers" of social communities. Effectively, in this scenario, the problem description is not so much that too many people rape, but rather that we are ineffective at dealing with those who do.
It seems more that as with most types of abuse and non-retributive violence, the sexual abuser tends to be in a position of disproportionate power to the abused. Also, because of the greater variance in the Y chromosome, human males display more phenotypically outlying (in this case, aberrant) behavior than human females.

Just from youtube ads it's about $1 per 1000 views, but can vary by a factor of 4 in either direction. Sponsoring, Patreon subscriptions, etc adds between a lot and nothing on top of that, depending on the kind of videos, the fanbase and a host of other factors.

For example, PewDiePie makes a video a day with ~4 million views each, which should net him around $1.5 million a year from ad revenue. I have no problem imagining him making another $6.5M through other means, being the most well-known youtuber. He also does heavy promotion of amazon affiliate links, which probably brings in a decent amount of money as well.

But of course normal people don't make a video a day and don't get millions of views on each video. I think most youtubers who manage to make it their day job get the majority of their money through Patreon subscriptions.

A sibling post talked about special relativity, but you don't need special relativity to answer this question, just Galilean relativity. The answer is that you can measure velocity in any inertial reference frame you want. If you are in an inertial reference frame, you can say your own speed is 0 km/hr, or you can consider an inertial reference frame of the galaxy, which is some ungodly number, or you can measure your velocity relative to the cosmic microwave background. It's all the same -- only the relative velocity between you and another object has a real physical meaning.
The situation and context matters. David McClure knew that the event at her apartment was a business meeting, there were many other colleagues, he followed her into her bedroom after the business meeting finished despite her objecting, he propositioned her and she objected and moved away, and THEN he finally tried and failed to kiss her after pinning her into a corner until she could no longer escape. Were your actions in your previous relationships like this? I hope not - for your own sake. Your strawman about a "written legal waiver" does not apply to this scenario.
