At least 12 women according to the update in Cheryl's post. Most, if not all of these women, are also people of color according to Sarah Kunst.

<<Update>> I just spoke to Sarah Kunst and learned from her that at least 12 other women including me, have faced sexual harassment or advances from Dave of various degrees. Some of them are portfolio company CEOs like myself. They’re afraid to come out, but some eventually will. I had doubts publishing this, but after talking to Sarah, it is clear to me now that I can’t just sit silently and trust that Dave’s behavior will stop, or that we can just file his misconduct under “Dave being Dave.” This is about protecting other women who might otherwise be subjected to his future unwanted sexual advances.
Wow. Reading that, I would be too grossed out to touch the hand of someone like Dave. Creep is not putting it strongly enough - serial sexual assaulter is correct.
There's also a lot of evidence that whatever "will-power" is, it requires a rested, well-fed mind. Dieting fundamentally decreases your ability to have "will-power". So perhaps what we call "will-power" is only a correlative trait--not a causative one--for people who lose weight. People lucky enought to have bodies that can easily switch to consuming fat instead of storing fat will probably find themselves with a lot more energy throughout the day to be able to think clearly, exercise, and make good eating decisions, but then call their good fortune "will-power" as a result.
For us Poles it's a toss-up whether MICHAŁ is interpreted as MICHAL or MICHAK at borders.

Yet somehow people have built wildly successful companies handling massive amounts of traffic using Django. Yes, many have had to re-architect to scale better, but which company hasn't had to do that as they grow from thousands to millions of daily active users?

How fast are you really going?

One of the things I've thought about is relatively.

Consider a toddler strapped to his car seat in a luxurious BMW cocoon while his father speeds down the autobahn at 200km/h. He calmy drinks from his sippy cup.

You're in a passenger jet above him going 700km/hr. You're going 500km/hr faster than him.

But how fast are you really going?

Consider that the Earth is spinning around the sun at a rate of 1 billion kilometers per year or about 100,000 km/hr.

You're on Earth, so is your jet's true speed 100,700 km/hr?

Relative to the sun, yes, but everything that orbits our sun is considered our solar system which itself is orbiting our galaxy at a rate of 800,000 km/hr.

So if we add the 800k, 100k, and 700 km/hr your plane is moving, is it not fair to say you are traveling at almost a billion kilometers per hour?

I'm sure you can infer the galaxy itself is hurling through space at an ungodly speed.

I ask two questions:

1. When does this stop? What is the most supreme center in the universe?

2. Just as the child could roll down his window, and have instant access to the outside, is there a way we can do the same?

Edit: For clarification, the (now flagged) parent commenter was expressing that he did not understand why women are so affected by unwanted sexual advances. He mentioned that men have come onto him without his consent, and he was (on a separate occasion) beaten up bad enough to end up in the hospital, but his quality of life did not decrease to the same degree that he sees in women who are kissed against their will. He said he didn't understand why being kissed without permission is such a big deal in comparison with actually being beaten up. Following is my response:

I think reading this will help you understand: https://www.guernicamag.com/rebecca-solnit-men-explain-thing...

Sexual assault & sexual harassment are not isolated events. They are symptoms of a world that can be very fucked up if you're a woman. You've been beaten up, but after the beating you were still (I assume) physically bigger and stronger than ~50% of the human population. That might influence how you feel about the things that have happened to you.

Here is an excerpt from the link above:

Credibility is a basic survival tool. When I was very young and just beginning to get what feminism was about and why it was necessary, I had a boyfriend whose uncle was a nuclear physicist. One Christmas, he was telling–as though it were a light and amusing subject–how a neighbor’s wife in his suburban bomb-making community had come running out of her house naked in the middle of the night screaming that her husband was trying to kill her. How, I asked, did you know that he wasn’t trying to kill her? He explained, patiently, that they were respectable middle-class people. Therefore, her-husband-trying-to-kill-her was simply not a credible explanation for her fleeing the house yelling that her husband was trying to kill her. That she was crazy, on the other hand….

Even getting a restraining order–a fairly new legal tool–requires acquiring the credibility to convince the courts that some guy is a menace and then getting the cops to enforce it. Restraining orders often don’t work anyway. Violence is one way to silence people, to deny their voice and their credibility, to assert your right to control over their right to exist. About three women a day are murdered by spouses or ex-spouses in this country. It’s one of the main causes of death in pregnant women in the U.S. At the heart of the struggle of feminism to give rape, date rape, marital rape, domestic violence, and workplace sexual harassment legal standing as crimes has been the necessity of making women credible and audible.

I tend to believe that women acquired the status of human beings when these kinds of acts started to be taken seriously, when the big things that stop us and kill us were addressed legally from the mid-1970s on; well after, that is, my birth. And for anyone about to argue that workplace sexual intimidation isn’t a life or death issue, remember that Marine Lance Corporal Maria Lauterbach, age 20, was apparently killed by her higher-ranking colleague last winter while she was waiting to testify that he raped her. The burned remains of her pregnant body were found in the fire pit in his backyard in December.

Agreed, it's not an abuser's place to decide for their victim what details are made public.

But, the direct apology to a victim should be clear and not place blame on them for how they interpreted a situation, "I'm sorry if you felt X" is the opposite of an apology, it is redirecting blame.
I hear this "you just don't understand" claim a lot: from my teenage kids and *coin proponents.
That is not what "he said, she said" means.
You're right, there are some incredibly niche channels around. I collect poker chips and there's even a channel for that: Jon Hobby's Great Poker Chip Adventure[1].

Replace "sex" with "sexual act" and you've got it almost word for word. I suppose you could say there's a difference there, though one just seems like a shorthand for the other.
When I read the original, I thought it was pretty reasonable as apologies go - it was directly saying what he did was wrong, which is better than the non-apology "I'm sorry you were offended"s you see (low bar, but still). Of course, it now looks like, at best, he was just copping to the "less bad" bits to try and quell it before the worst bits got out.

While "less bad" is obviously still damaging and there is a lot to talk about there, what's given in the post sounds like a clear-cut crime.
there are no absolute reference frames. only relative ones! however, at least there is a fixed relationship between reference frames they all must obey with regards to the speed of light.
Yeah, excepting that a label exec would immediately scoop them up to be produced as remix singles, to be released in stages over the next six months on iTunes, Amazon, and Google Play for $1.29 apiece, whether you liked them or not.
Women locker room talk is not about sexual coercion but it's often about using their sexuality to gain advantage. While this is obviously not equivalent to sexual assault, it's not ethical either.
That's likely our observable portion of the infinite universe. It doesn't mean the universe is finite.
This!! x100, I am constantly working on features that are not even decided if they go into production. Using TDD for these would be a huge waste of time and energy.
Once a feature is accepted I write tests to cover it... after it's already being used and getting feedback from users.
It's surprising that Skype has so much usage at all considering the immensely saturated messaging space. Outside of network effect, is there some reason that's keeping people onboard?
I don’t understand the comment about not being able to use C++. In C++, you certainly have the same low-level control over your objects as you do in C. You gain a lot of syntax sugar and additional type safety.

If you just don’t wanna use C++, fine. But this looks like a great fit for it to me. Avoid the STL, turn off the features you don’t need, etc.
If that number doesn't include the new layoffs. Then I dont know, ~20K lay offs excluding Nokia and including this new one does seem like a lot for 120K employees. Over 15% in 4-5 years.

As in most chemistry/physics papers, the true marvel is often not the actual phenomena being studied, but the observational techniques used to study those phenomena. In this case, it's by complexing the hydronium cluster with molecules that accept H-Bonds increasingly strongly, and then tracking the frequency of every O-D stretch vibration in the complex, as a hydron is incrementally pulled to a neighbouring water molecule.
I am glad to see more people speaking up. I also really like the policies proposed at the end of this, and I would love to see them get implemented.
Maybe space is the ether afterall
He didn't proposition her, he physically sexually assaulted her even when she was very firm that it was not welcome.

I get that there are cases where you can be sympathetic to the guy for misreading the situation or coming off creepy when he was just clumsy about what he thought was a respectful advance. I get that those things happen - this is an industry full of awkward nerds, mistakes are made.

But that's not what happened here, and nobody should pretend otherwise.

Ok, might be confused by the context. I would think you only need "drm free backups" if what you get originally is "drm-ed files". If there's no drm, there's no drm. I thought the change was that O'reilly was moving towards drm only?

"I don't find the process of generating a CSR and submitting it to a CA for signing to be more complicated than setting up letsencrypt."

Remember there's multiple benefits that Lets Encrypt claims. A few that come to mind is it's free, transparent instead of shady, and has this tooling ecosystem forming. The free and non-shady parts are the most compelling advantages over prior, commercial CA's. On top of that, it's a public-benefit corporation with board members who have a history fighting against abuses of online privacy. You therefore have more assurance that the tooling you're investing time in might not get more evil or low-quality at the rate another offering might be if driven only by corporate greed.
One thing about space that I didn't see mentioned in the article is that even in a complete vacuum billions of miles away from anywhere there is still inertia. If something spins around it will still experience centrifugal force, so this is an absolute property of space and the universe that isn't caused by interaction with another body.
He forcibly backed her into a corner and kissed her, after Cheryl had already rejected his previous advance and asked him to leave. How is that at all okay? WTF is wrong with you?

Rule of thumb for Python web development:

Do you already know Django really well? Then use Django for small and big web projects.

Do you not know either? Then learn Flask for small, trivial applications and learn Django when you find yourself creating your own web framework on top of Flask.

I'm by no means a burly red-blooded gentleman, but I can't think of any example from my previous relationships that did not start with either myself or the other making a move which could later have been construed as assault.

Of course adding context to all those situations, it's easy to see that I or the recipient would in all probability welcome the advance, and so it is not assault, however the fine line between "assault" and "relationship" at that point is entirely down to perception, and it makes this entire area massively ugly to try and delineate.

Asking for a written legal waiver before planting a kiss on someone you're passionate about seems essentially where all this is leading, and I really can't stand the thought of that.
This point would have merit if there was any reason to think Y Combinator systematically gives white men preference over others to run its organization.

There's no evidence I've seen to suggest that.

While women and minorities should be treated fairly, so should white people...they deserve to succeed too. Assuming white privilege is responsible for every white person's success (and incriminating them for it) is just as backward as traditional racism.

The problem with that is that Unicode string processing is highly data dependent. You may not get good speedups because most performance improvement from putting things in hardware comes from parallelism in the data path.

A good approach to getting speedups is probably by assuming ascii, vectorizing the hell out of that, and falling back to multibyte processing where that fails. Checking for multibyte characters comes down to checking if the high bit of any byte is set, which should be fast and easy for the branch predictor to deal with.

Mass adoption can never happen because bitcoin was never designed to be a payment system for mass adoption.

Look at the history: circa 2000 E-Gold was the go-to currency for illegal activity online. In 2008 E-Gold got shut down.

A few months later the bitcoin proposal surfaces and coincidentally solves the "problems" with E-Gold by making it impossible to shut down, impossible to indict the owners, and easier to hide money flows if you are sophisticated enough to write programs to move your money through webs of anonymous proxy accounts.

Bitcoin was designed from the beginning to be ideal for illegal activity and the features that make it good for illegal activity also make it expensive, inefficient, and poorly suited to legitimate commerce (non-repudiation is basically a deal breaker).

Throw in the risk created by price fluctuations and the whole thing is just totally impractical for real world use at scale.

But hey, I was saying the same thing back then too, and I could be a millionaire now, so you probably shouldn't take my advice.
