>ask the women you are close to in your life if they've been raped or assaulted. The answers may surprise you.

That is not the number under dispute. There are two fundamentally different theories about what is going on: 1) Most men sexually assault women, or 2) A minority of men sexual assault a large number of women. Based on statistics of victims, it is impossible to distinguish between these two scenarios. However, understanding which scenario we are in is vitally important to forming our response. You seem to believe that we are in scenario 1.

I will admit, I do not have any evidence handy that we are in scenario 2, because it is not a proposal I have ever seen seriously suggested. However, you have presented no evidence that we are in scenerio 1, which seems to be the less believable situation. Until such evidence is presented, I will continue to believe that it is a minority of men that cause a majority of sexual assault [0].

[0] Yes, not all sexual assualt is by males, but I am reasonably confident that it is enough that this general statement holds.

> Generalized sexist statements and behavior that convey insulting or degrading attitudes about women (e.g. Insulting remarks, obscene jokes or humor about sex or women in general)

This should be generalized to include both sexes. I often see insulting or degrading comments about men by people in the tech world, especially with terms like "mansplaining".

> 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.

You won't need a written legal waiver, you could simply ask if it is ok.

If you don't ask you're taking your chances that the other person reads the situation just like you do. Just yesterday a friend of mine ended up in an elevator with someone she ended up having dinner with because their flight got canceled. He tried to force himself on her in the elevator, I'm sure he thought it was ok and I'm also 100% sure that she did not give him any reason to think that kiss would be welcome. Now maybe there is a chance that such a kiss would be welcome, but if it is there is no harm in asking and if it isn't there is a lot of harm in assuming that it is welcome.

It's pretty clear cut to me. And I've never kissed any one of my former partners without making sure that such an attempt was welcome, but then again I haven't had that many opportunities to put this to the test.
Competitor to what?
> Will moving people to daily wages solve financial stress?

A month with daily pay would still have 28-31 days so not by much. I think it might worsen the problem because when you you don't make it productive in a day you'd be in the worse situation, with a job and without money.
Threads like this get pretty weird voting patterns, I wouldn't read too much into it.

Upvoted GP as a corrective measure.
> and then they forcibly kiss you that is in fact sexual assault, in fact even if none of the former had happened it would still be sexual assault. Force => assault.

The US Justice Department doesn't construe a forced kiss as sexual assault: https://www.justice.gov/ovw/sexual-assault

"Sexual assault is any type of sexual contact or behavior that occurs without the explicit consent of the recipient. Falling under the definition of sexual assault are sexual activities as forced sexual intercourse, forcible sodomy, child molestation, incest, fondling, and attempted rape."

I understand this incident occurred in Malaysia, which doesn't follow US law, but I don't believe they consider it sexual assault either. Some cursory review of LEO online forums is indicated a forcible kiss would be considered the lesser "sexual battery".

"The primary difference between sexual battery and rape is that with battery there is no penetration between the sexual organs. With sexual battery, all that matters is the non-consensual touching of another person's sexual organs. Sexual assault, like the broader crime of assault, constitutes the threat of force."

Even under that definition, I'm unsure if a kiss is considered either sexual assault or sexual battery, since sex organs aren't involved.

IANAL.

Edit: Appreciate the replies! You learn new things every day.
Because there are tons of apologists in the valley. Men who also harass women like McClure and feel they're entitled to it, especially against women of color.
WTF? Where on earth did you get your definition of 'came on to' ?? In my mind, 'coming on to' someone was usually just trying to catch their eyes, attempting to start an awkward conversation to gauge their interest in you etc. etc.

In what universe does forcibly pushing someone physically smaller than you up against a corner and planting your lips on theirs against all their protests count as a standard every day pick up routine????

Why can't you guys comment your fucking code?
I mean, I don't know the guy. Maybe all this lynching is justified, maybe it isn't. But all I can glean from this article is that the woman who wrote it is blowing her interactions with him a bit out of proportion. Mind you, I've experienced my fair share of sexual assault as well. To me, this is just some guy who has no game who came off a bit too strongly. Regardless, he has some learning to do.
> Django's fat models approach is bad

while django encourages Fat Models and that approach ends up working well sometimes, django itself has no such approach to models. how much logic to put in a model is left to the application developer.

i think what tends to happen, though, is that coming up with a convention different than Fat Models is difficult, especially early on, so most organizations don't bother and end up with models that are badly abstracted AND fat.

this could be seen as a failure of the django community, but it is not a shortcoming of the framework itself.
Regarding the speed of galaxies, there is the astrophysical concept of comoving observers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comoving_distance
I stumbled upon this, when I searched for the question: is there any point in talking about the age of the Universe if there is no absolute reference frame? There is a good stackexchange page about this too: https://astronomy.stackexchange.com/questions/6525/age-of-th...
SpaceX will try again tomorrow (July, 4)
I think those is more like ram/ewe, just words to signify specific objects having gender. But words themselves don't have grammatical gender, not like in Russian and German, where every noun is gendered and all (well, most) adjectives/verbs/etc. have to be modified to fit the gender of the noun. Presents tons of problems for localization, because a) you have to have 3 separate ways of saying the same and b) you can not say something like "user has logged in" without knowing the gender of the user, at least not if you want to sound grammatical.
Azure is a solid product but if they get complacent, Google can clearly overtake them. Google has been pouring a lot of money and hiring industry leaders into thier cloud offering. They will use Tensor flow and bake it into all their cloud offerings. Microsoft has maybe a year to focus and get Azure to be a clear #2.
It's 10x sad because she's an Asian female (most of the victims are either Asian or another minority group). Unfortunately there is a lot of self-hating and white-is-right mentality among Asians. Why do you think so many westerners goto Asia to "teach" English?

Edit: this is an un-PC opinion and casting a wide net, so downvote all you want, but this is well documented and discussed online. And if you've traveled throughout Asia, or have any experience living there, you know this is way more common than just a fringe opinion.
You mean like Uber does?
How about we generalize them to include neither sex? An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
You've crossed way over the line into trolling. Since you don't appear to have a history of doing this on HN we haven't banned you, but if you don't stop, we will.

It's one thing to bring up real questions and/or complexities of the broader issues—people have been doing that a lot in these threads recently. The timing for that hasn't necessarily been good but one can at least see how it might come up in good faith. Outright denial is something different.

We detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14692419 and marked it off-topic.
> You seem to believe that we are in scenario 1.

What I've seen professionally makes me believe this, definitely. And that view is consistent across 30 years in the industry with stints in various sub-branches of IT and/or fields that require IT services (which is pretty much anything nowadays).

Let me reprhase this in a more direct way so there is no misunderstanding:

I have yet to see a female friendly company in IT.

If you know of such companies it would be nice to list them.

If there is such a thing I would love to be surprised, I suspect that it is going to be the ones run by women, but they are rare enough that I have not had much exposure to them.
Just because it's stronger doesn't mean it's more durable, which the article points out. Portland concrete has higher compressive strength but doesn't last as long.
How often do you want to pull the spaces out of English text though? I'd think this would be used more for something like Base64 encoded binaries where you want to simplify the decoder by preprocessing the text.
Why do you think so many westerners goto Asia to "teach" English?

I think they go there mostly to experience a culture totally foreign to them. The food and lifestyle is cheap, it's very beautiful, and quite safe.
Wow, that's crazy! What algorithm did this, or maybe it's some scheme manipulation for profit? You can never be sure when something like this happens, flash stock crashes have a history that's muddy at best. :/
My girlfriend's son (12) & daughter (10) watch YouTube more than they watch TV. Her son is into gaming and watches mostly gaming channels. Her daughter likes some of the younger YouTubers who cater to her age/demographic in content. I hear them around their friends and that is a lot of what they talk about.
> But all I can glean from this article is that the woman who wrote it is blowing her interactions with him a bit out of proportion.

Where do you get this from? It read pretty factual and dry to me.

It also puts the lie to his statement about that other encounter that he 'misread the situation', there clearly was no misreading the situation here and yet he persisted, twice.

That's exactly what I'm proposing, just change the wording to "Generalized sexist statements and behavior that convey insulting or degrading attitudes", removing the "about women" part.

Yet here I sit at -3 points for suggesting I deserve the same protections.
From what I've seen, a lot of time. These people aren't just discussing anything about games or what not, they're actively researching stories no one else has covered online yet. For example, the Boundary Break channel is all about reverse engineering games to disable camera restrictions and take them outside the game world.

That takes a lot of time to set up, especially as each game needs to be treated as its own thing due to how they're coded. Probably dozens of hours with the community on Discord figuring how the camera format works, then even more using it to explore the hell out of the game to find interesting stuff before even making the video.

Or in the case of Slopes Game Room/Guru Larry/Top Hat Gaming Man, looking into game series and games either from decades past (which have very little documentation online) or aspects of games people didn't know about. It's only thanks to them that stuff like Drivergate (a scandal where a video game magazine publisher gave artificially inflated reviews to a broken game to get the reviews out early) came to the surface or got added to Wikipedia in the first place.

A lot of time goes into these videos, it's just a lot more of it likely goes to research and journalism than editing.

I'm an ideal senior devops, SRE, or cloud engineer. My background is unusual because I started as an embedded engineer, had network and system administration duties added, and finally learned how to do security by winning awards at some high visibility contests. Because I've built every hardware or software part of a technology stack in my career at some point, I'm unusually good at troubleshooting weird cloud problems.

I also have a decade of experience professionally administering complex networks. Even if I'm hired as a programmer, I always end up also being "the network guy" somehow, since I've written so much automation to do the job for me. I've been doing devops since way before anyone called it that.
Could be due to the location. Might be different in different countries. In the places I have worked (always women in the team, startup and more enterprise-world), I never seen sexism happen apart from once.

Of course there is the problem that it could be hidden (IMs or whatnot). Hence my optimism :-)
I speak two languages with gendered nouns, and I didn't find much specific usefulness for it. It's just something that is part of the package, so you go with it, and you can claim that provides more rich texture or such (though I'm not sure why knowing "table" is "male" and "government" is "female" really has any meaning, but maybe poets have one more tool to play with), but I'm not really sure it's that useful outside of using it for objects for which gender does make sense. But even then saying different word for "walked" depending on whether it was male or female walking doesn't really seem to me much of an advantage. It's just what it is.

It's mostly interesting because it's a subproblem of many interesting problems. "get a bunch of data, discard uninteresting/invalid data, do stuff with the rest" is something that easily becomes a hotspot. "Removing spaces" is the "discard uninteresting/invalid data" part, in the easy case that the data is a bunch of bytes and there is some arbitrary threshold that decides what to keep (not unusual with sensor data of all kinds).

So I'm not sure "academic" is quite the right word, but I agree that worrying about Unicode is not the point here.
Yeah, the recommendations on YouTube are horrible. Google is a very hard company to understand sometimes. They're attempting to make self-driving cars with AI, yet they can't recommend relevant videos.

I've worked in a lot of different design roles and companies; from mom and pop print shops to social media (Facebook), tech (Cisco & Citrix), and e-commerce (Macy's) giants. I bring a solid skill set to a team that allows me to adapt to any design related role. And not to pat myself on the back too much but every developer I've ever worked with has sang my praises. ;)

Drop me a line and let's talk about your design needs!
Some related questions that I don't know where, or how, to ask:

- Is there a “quantum” of space? Where/how is location stored?

- If electromagnetic repulsion is what makes matter “take space”, and if virtually all macroscopic phenomena are governed by electromagnetism and gravity, then could this reality be said to be “gravelectromagnetic”, and might there be other “dimensions” governed by other forces, like “cones” extending in differing “directions” from the subatomic scale? [0]

- Could gravity be the result of space trying to deflate/return to the pre-Big Bang singularity, kind of like pulling magnets apart? i.e. is gravity the “opposite” of, or a reaction to, “space?”

This isn't how you evaluate whether something is criminal in the United States. Virtually all sexual assault (or sexual battery, depending on the jurisdiction) is prosecuted under state statutes. In many states, any coerced sexual touching done for the purposes of gratification constitutes sexual battery. If you search for cases, you will indeed find forced kisses on the mouth prosecuted.

Obviously, the physical coercion McClure used to trap this woman against a wall is, even without the sexual component, itself an assault
Can you provide more context? What are you trying to achieve?
I've used this one, and a few others that were around back in 2011. All were waaaay off, i.e. would report 500% to 1000% more than what I know I am actually making after entering the view counts, subs and other details.

Hence my original question :)
You seem to be identify a valid problem of defining "assault". This is a real problem, and something that policy makers will need to tackle at all levels, but it is not what is being discussed. After someone responds to your request to sleep with them by asking you to leave, you have left the realm of ambiguity.

If you are hanging out with a friend and start getting a bit handsy, then I could see the grey area. But it the cases where it is not wanted, a simple "no", or movement away, or pushing his hands off, etc would be enough to clarify where the line is, and ignoring that would turn it into unambiguous assault.
Stock tracking websites don't need to be perfect, just need to be better than the humans they replaced. Faster, free, and less errors doesn't mean they must be error free.

Yeah, I was referring to Australia. Getting NBN/Cable is a lottery, Telstra EOC/SHDSL requires your first born.
I've actually seen a number of times where Google Finance has a daily low that was never reached or a high that wasn't shown on the graph (sometimes many percentage points away). It's also notoriously bad when there's a gap up or down, and will sometimes cut out various parts of the graph.

But still, seems to be one of the better ones out there, as I still use it. Just don't treat it as authority.

Another interesting example of questionable data is the premarket CNN feed at (http://money.cnn.com/data/premarket/). I have sometimes seen a stock trading premarket down 99%, which almost always looks like an off by some factor of ten of the price.
Because of the rise of Christian fundamentalism in this country. Many of the most ardent supporters of the movement here are ex-pats from Australia, so I'd wager either they've all come here, or some shenanigans are up in Australia too but they don't get global press coverage.
This. I find it hard to believe the entire "teach English in Asia" industry is fueled by people who base their decision on some fantasy to have sex with Asians (or just their students? I'm not sure what they are implying), and it certainly doesn't mesh with my experience of English teachers abroad.
Which is the part that puzzles me. Successful guy, plenty of money. Get a high priced call girl, go on a sex site and get a woman who wants what you want. I mean I used to be in a band and it was easy to have a woman in nearly every city you could call when you feel lonely.

If he was after something deeper, hire a dating consultant and find something worthwhile.

It just amazes me that people who have both the means and ability to get what they want do foolish stuff like he's doing.
They make a language harder to learn and increase it's cognitive profile, especially for newer speakers.

I'll also make the contentious claim that they are clearly visible as being kinda sexist to progressively-oriented native speakers of languages that don't have them. Of course, if you honestly follow that train of thought, it doesn't stop at having gendered pronouns for inanimate objects. See https://www.cs.virginia.edu/~evans/cs655/readings/purity.htm...
