You're making a false equivalence; often, the distinction between murder and manslaughter is the lack of an actual _intent to kill_, not simply the presence of a mistaken belief that the killing would be welcomed as "a really alpha move".

Even in cases where intent isn't there, other factors (for example, hitting and killing someone while driving drunk or too far over the speed limit) can make an accidental killing murder.

I don't think that you can make the argument that any of the men in question did not intend to make sexual advances on these women.

To horribly misuse Aaron Sorkin:

Sam:
About a week ago I accidentally slept with a prostitute.

Toby:
Really?

Sam:
Yes.

Toby:
You accidentally slept with a prostitute.

Sam:
Call girl.

Toby:
Accidentally.

Sam:
Yes.

Toby:
I don't understand. Did you trip over something?
You are making a statement of surprise that someone who "didn't fit the investment world", who was "smart" and a "hustler" would not make such a mistake while navigating the interface between his personal life and his business/career. I say "personal life" given these advances indicate an IMPROPER blurring of personal need, including a physical attraction response, which was then carried over into day-to-day business. It is this response that creates a double bind for the women who are involved in situation. Double binds are bad news, whether they are intentional, such as those used by Trump, or unintentional, such as those created by those who do not manage their personal lives well.

Why is it that we EVER may assume, by someone's external behaviors including their writings, videos and interviews, that we may "know" an individual? Why would we ever assume a level of trust in how they conduct themselves in their personal lives by their outward actions? Why would we assume someone who did "fit" the investment world would be more likely to act in a similar improper manner? How is it that we actually fail to acknowledge that each of us has a line that, when it is crossed, we are capable of making horrible mistakes? Why is it that Western culture has formed a view of mistakes as something to be avoided at all cost, as opposed to an opportunity for great learning?

I came out of my self-imposed exile here to post this because I think it's important to draw a line and indicate a social community such as HN (or Twitter) are woefully inadequate to deal with these types of issues in a meaningful way and to do so without a highly divisive conversation forming. (This is not to say the message should not be delivered strongly to anyone listening, however.) All that comes of these discussions is blame and division. Evidence of that is show here, now, in the polarized comments.

The only people who can judge Dave honestly here now are the victims, his co-workers and himself. I do have empathy for those involved, but my emotional contributions here are pointless, given the scale and reach of this news.
when they put "flirtitious messages", general compliments, and other forever-used ways to approach a woman in the same bucket as sexual harrasment _something_ is very wrong with those people.

i will say these women in that article are pretty. there, i said it. count me in.

"feminism" is morphing into some fringe cult which brings together few and divides many. talking of imbalance...

sick. very sick.
I despise vivitrol. Two people I knew back when I was an addict used it to try and get clean, they're both dead due to trying to "break through" as it does nothing for your cravings, or the reasons you started using in the first place.

Buprenorphine was much more effective for myself, and I broke my six year heroin addiction using it, legally from my government for a nominal cost of a few dollars per day.

America seems hung up on abstinence and "cold turkey" as if it's the be-all end-all of treating addiction. Just use willpower, right? Vivitrol seems "perfect" in that environment, as it should stop you chemically from using, but the thing is that people don't want to be junkies, they want to live their lives and be happy, without the noose around their neck that is addiction. But if you don't deal with why they started using, how can you expect someone to heal?
> So, these men have often gone through life being wildly successful with this type of behavior up until society started to change around them.

I feel so bad for them. /s
Controlling My Garage with an Xbox 360 Controller [video]
Yeah, I immediately thought of that video when I was considering the massive power imbalance at play here.

You can re-word most of Dennis' dialogue to fit the situation, too. "The implication that [she won't get an investment] if she refuses to sleep with me."

The last part of that clip is especially applicable. The other commenter sees this as a compliment. "She's attractive; of course she'd get hit on!" But it's a "compliment" with an asterisk attached to it, and the subtext is a massive power imbalance.
I love the Alan Kay's shrine.
From what scientifically valid sources do you draw your conclusions.
I am a straight man who has experienced this personally. I can't give too many details without revealing who I am and who the VC was, but I can say the VC works at one of the largest corporate funds, and I was a bootstrapped founder at the time.
Interesting fact: the counter measure (naloxone) in subutex is useless. Bupe binds infinitely more than naloxone does to your opiate receptors, and the dose of naloxone is so low that it can't compete anyway.
By optionals I assume you mean null and undefined types, not optionals in the Scala or Swift sense.
It's the position of power, regardless of intent, that's the problem. It's lonely to be the boss. Don't hit on women you meet in that capacity.

How does buzzfeed get the scoop on this? I didn't know they did tech reporting.
The description makes me think of a loud sound echoing through the maze, each branch further divides the volume of the sound, but a loud enough sound will "exit" in the optimal "O(1)" time because the sound wave "explores" every branch of the maze in "parallel".

Is this a reasonable mental model of what your describing?
Any programming language with a line- and field-based orientation should do it. Awk is easy because of the implied input loop over the data, and the ability to slice by columns.

If you want additional outputs, you simply create them. For a trivial example, if you've got a list of revenues and expenses (say, by month), and want a report with monthly and annual totals (I'll assume only one year is fed, though the example could be expanded:

#!/usr/bin/gawk -f

BEGIN { printf( "%-8s %-8s | %-8s\n", "revenue", "costs", "profit" )}

{
rev = $1; cost = $2; profit = rev - cost;
totrev+=rev; totcost+=cost;
printf( "%8.2f %8.2f | %8.2f\n", rev, cost, profit )
}

END {
printf( "----------------------------\n")
printf( "%8.2f %8.2f | %8.2f\n", totrev, totcost, totrev - totcost )
printf( "============================\n")
}

That's the equivalent of a spreadsheet with columns for revenues, costs, and profits, with a summary line. But you can run it over any annual datasource.

Now let me check if that's right.... OK, not too far off, though yes, I'd goofed bits (the first time).
Is this sexual harassment? It sounds like calling a party where the food is bad "literally Auschwitz".

Reverse the genders. Is this still sexual harassment? If not, then this isn't sexual harassment either.

I still think this is in poor taste. The attempts to defend it is worse. However, let us commit to refraining from calling it sexual harassment until it is sexual harassment. Calling this sexual harassment is like spitting in the face of all the victims of sexual harassment.
The unfortunate part is that a "secure" jailbreak is absolutely possible, or at least mitigations for the vulnerabilities used to achieve the jailbreak. It seems there is not much demand for it though.
You're conflating two different things: if 1.6% of the population has BPD that still doesn't tell you that 100% of them are untreated and spending their time and credibility making false accusations, or that those wouldn't fall apart fairly quickly. That might happen on TV but most real people with mental illnesses spend time trying to minimize their impact on others, not act like the bad guy in a police procedural.
Home Assistant: Awaken your home
I look forward to hearing about your contributions to the jailbreak community.
No, this is clear sexual harassment, and would be if the genders were reversed, or the same, or entirely unknown. It's a sexual proposition from someone with power over another person in a professional relationship.
And how many third party devices are supported under OpenBSD? What does their ecosystem look like?

It's easy to have a "secure track record" when you say no to 90% of the outside code contributions and support a minimal amount of hardware. There's basically 0 chance that OpenBSD would ever be the source of medical devices.
Melinda Gates worked at Microsoft when she met Bill. Should he be publicly tarred and feathered like this? By your logic, he abused his authority and he should not have dated or married his wife because he held power over her -
he could have immediately fired her if she had rejected his advances.

So where do we draw the line, and why isn't Bill on the firing line in the same way these others are?
#Chuwi #Surbook performs in work,excel,video etc on the dazzling display
Yes, it is still harassment with the genders reversed. What would make you think otherwise?

But that's not actually the bar. It's important to recognize that men and women don't come in on equal footing for these interactions.
Your first comment is clearly calling those toy models (of supply/demand in free markets and econ 101) relevant to this situation, which is healthcare in the US. Don't play games with wording.

Especially when you can remove the clause containing the words "free market" without changing the meaning of the comment. "It is shocking how many people will ignore the fact that health care and pharma in the U.S. are nothing like the toy models taught in econ 101, but pretend that they are in order to defend rent seeking."
This post specifically used very short uninformative names though, which was more to my point. If you're not going to use informative names, it shouldn't be part of the signature, especially when its barely any extra typing to do the same within the function body.
God if you think NA is a good successful program, I've got a bridge to sell you. I was a junkie for six years. Abstinence only doesn't work (where that's defined as working for a sizeable percentage of people who go through it). ORT does, and the facts and numbers back this up.

Anecdotally, Suboxone saved my life. And I've got a number of dead friends to prove it (some of which had gone through NA multiple times, and two had the damnable Vivitrol injections). So I'm a bit biased here, but I find your comment quite naive, albeit typical for those who have an opinion on this life without having had much interaction with it, much less lived it.
There was nothing partisan about my post - I wasn't taking any sides, but just pointing out that purported hate crimes were widely reported in the news, which many turned out to be perpetrated by the alleged victims. For example, the Greenville, MS historic black church which was burned down days before the election with "Vote Trump" graffitid on it - which turned out to have been perpetrated by a member of the same church.

https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/21/us/mississippi-church-fir...

But I guess, if simply mentioning Trump makes something partisan, then yes, I brought in partisan politics.
Safari Private Browsing comes to mind. The functionality and UI was very similar to the jailbreak "tweak" available for this.

Also, the new iOS notification system on iOS 4/5 was directly nabbed from a jailbreak tweak, though it was because they hired the developer so I am assuming it was not "copied" in that case.
How to Not Regret Your Tattoos
Sure I can, perhaps by column inches allotted to the story?

The reason it is 'almost all of them', is because the most outrageous crimes garner the most attention, but at the same time are least likely to be actual hate crimes. For example, the historic black church firebombing in MS which happened days before the election...which turned out months later to have been done by a black member of that same church.
> they'd be an asshole to everyone equally

I think they often are. But you don't hear about it, because almost no one cares about males at the bottom of the social ladder. At the bottom, men are "valued" (for a lack of a better word) even less than women.
Ugh. Winning hearts and minds. I wonder how long that US flag remains on the robot.

You'd hope the NYPD knows how to set up a firewall and how to detect data exfiltration at that scale.
Even with certificate pinning? Maybe if you can patch the app.
I mean if we're going to debate labels: In my opinion it is completely inappropriate when your position of power, in a person setting, while referencing the professional setting, to discuss this. Maybe we could use the labels "abusive" or "predatory" or "toxic" if you'd prefer? Personally, I'm fine with "sexually harassive".
I think this is much more serious that you are making it sound if I'm reading your post correctly. As a potential investor you are in a position of power. Depending how things are going it might be a very serious power imbalance. The person seeking funding might feel very compelled to in essence prostitute themselves.

One of the West Point/Sloan MBAs, Chip, showed his dick to a recruiter.

One of my lawyer friends had a hiring manager show his dick to her.

I've been in tech for a decade and haven't met anyone who has been exposed to a dick in person.
Regarding blaming each other for their misfortune, I have an anecdotal experience I want to share. I don't know if that's just me or this phenomenal happens to everyone else as well: That's the "fuck you/who cares/deal with it" attitude.

The "fuck you" attitude can be summarized as people won't go the extra mile to help other people. It is the non-sympathy, non-action I get from everyday people (including the police) when something injustice or misfortune happens to other people or the common interest. It is also the non-forgiving attitude when someone makes a dumb mistake. It is selfish and at the same time not wrong. It reflects somewhat in the Shit Town podcast that I listened to lately.

I won't go into the details, but personally, I have worked with the local police recently on two separate incidents, and they were surprisingly bad. It was different from my previous experiences when I first moved to the US ten years ago. That "fuck you" attitude is what I experienced and have to deal with every day when I was in Vietnam, my home country. I'm not shocked, or that annoyed to have to deal with it every once in a while, but I feel it wasn't that way when I moved. I feel I get less and less of the extra miles the more I stay in here. I can't help but feel that people are getting stiffer and stiffer somehow.

For the context, I am and have been living in the midwest. What's surprising is that I'm not even depressed, and life is getting easier for me professionally, personally, and financially. Something just doesn't feel right. Or maybe I was just romanticizing my early days in the US for me. Or maybe I'm about to have another mid-life crisis.
It's sexual harassment. As a male, I would be incredibly uncomfortable if I were in this situation with the genders reversed. Picture: you're interviewing for a job you're wildly enthusiastic about. The hiring decision lies with an older woman who you are not at all attracted to, and she fires off that line at you. Who would feel comfortable in that situation?

> To me, this is the sort of "fainting couch" feminism that regards women as only potential victims who can't stand up for themselves and who must be protected by others.

It's not fainting couch feminism, it's pragmatic feminism. These interactions happen in a context where peoples' livelihoods, their hopes and dreams, are on the line. Are you going to expect them to jeopardize that by overtly calling someone out?

There is a reason we put the onus on men to not make unwanted advances instead of putting it on women to clearly reject them. It's costless to refrain from hitting on your coworkers/underlings/potential hires. In contrast, there is potentially a very high cost to a woman overtly rejecting an advance. At best, it results in hurt feelings and embarrassment in a superior/potential boss/potential investor. At worst, it can result in negative repercussions (a coworker badmouthing you as "a bitch," a hiring manager passing on your application, an investor passing on your idea).

If you consider yourself a decent person, why would you put someone else between a rock and a hard place like that? There are literally billions of women on the planet, and 99.99% don't work with you/for you.
As a really poor immigrant to the US who succeeded financially, I can tell you with absolute certainty, poverty in the US (barring mental illness cases or health issues) is the result of poor choices. Most of it stems from society's lack of planning for the future of the young people. Young people are consistently being told lies like "you can be anything you want", forgetting to tell them that most of the fun choices lead to very low pay in the future. Young people regularly send $50-250k on financially useless degrees. They like, say, art, so they spend 4 years studying something they could learn in a library or on YouTube, only to find out that the market for painters is crowded and tiny.

We need much better guidance for the young.
That's a really strange phone you're describing. Did it have a single hole on the dial? Where are you from?

I too used rotary phones - I'm 28 (if it makes a difference) and I grew up in a former Soviet republic. The phone had a dial with 10 holes in it: 1-9 followed by 0 (just like on a modern phone keypad, by the way). You stick your finger in a hole over the digit and rotate clockwise until the the stop. Then, take the finger out and wait for it to rotate back to the original position. Then you dial the next digit.
In your description you are still expending extra energy to explore the branches. Also it's not O(1), it's just that every step you take is bound to be optimal. So in O(1), you are literally one step closer to the solution.
Well, one simple heuristic is to wait for the party NOT in power to initiate the relationship.

If this entrepreneur who got hit on had propositioned McClure instead, I don't think people would have minded that.
The 90's also saw much commercial experimentation with visual environments (e.g. Visual Basic, Delphi, JBuilder) with round-trip conversion between the layout form and underlying code. They were promoted for R.A.D. (rapid application development -- remember that acronym?) but, like dynamically typed languages, they also had sustainability issues.

Of course, like dynamic typing and Lisp, visual environments also had Smalltalk from way back, but they were before big business became infatuated with the ideas.
Palantir has an outdated software stack (Java/Swing). Their genius lied in creating "mythical image" and cleverly overselling it to the less proficient government agencies (apparently NSA was smart enough to see through the ruse). And then in turn sell the "spooky/mysterious" image to bunch of naive Stanford/Berkeley undergrads and convince them to work for peanuts.

Sadly in 2017, their tech stack is falling apart, they have no meaningful ML/AI strategy, the agencies/corporation cannot be fooled any longer, and employees have suddenly realized that the stock (without an IPO in sight) might be worthless and have begun leaving.

Finally the political environment along association with Thiel isn't helping them make any new friends.

Having known several people who work or were hired at Palantir, I can assure you it probably has the worst overconfident brogrammer culture. So much so that I truly hope no US government agency is using them for critical functions because its nothing more than hot air.

> Can anyone explain why 999 is not the best emergency number ever chosen?

Numbers with widely separated digits such as 911 in the US or 119 in Japan are less likely to be accidentally dialed than numbers with similar or identical digits such as 999 or 112. As the article notes:

"However, around 35 per cent of calls do not involve actual requests for help, with the majority of these made by children playing with home phones or people accidentally dialling 999 or the European emergency number 112, often from a mobile handset in a pocket or handbag."

Though phones which map the emergency number to speed dial may negate the advantage.

Accidental calls waste time and potentially divert resources from real emergencies.
>You think the otherwise smart and successfull founders of these projects all made the wrong choice when it came to selecting the right tool for the job?

Nobody is perfect. Mark Zuckerberg has had his fair share of controversies for example.

>No, in the past statically typed languages were the norm. C, C++, Java...

Not good examples for your argument. These are largely considered poorly statically typed. Compare to ML, Haskell, Ada, Rust, Swift for reference.
The problem is that men who happen to be attracted to women that they work with/around sometimes end up using positions of power to intimidate women into doing things they don't want to do, simply by deciding to politely ask them out.

Yes, intent matters, and we should take it into account when morally judging someone; but if you are in the position to severely damage someone's career, you have to realize that any simple request can put them under a lot of pressure. Even if they don't want to comply, they might feel obligated to do so, unless you somehow manage to make very clear that there won't be any repercussions whichever way they decide.

If you are in a position of power and start feeling attracted to a report, you should keep it to yourself. If you really can't bear to stay silent, you should quit your job, or at least move to a different department. When they can no longer feel threatened by you, then you can try to make your advance. Everything else might devolve into harassment without any intent to do so.
