Our culture treats intoxicated women as "asking for it" and not victimized. It is a huge part of a problem and why more of them don't report.

But to answer your questions, which I believe are made in good faith, here is my view (not a legal one!). If you can't decipher consent, then you don't have one. If you have a reason to believe you might not have gotten it if the other person was sober, then that is assault too. If you are not in condition to be able to make such assessments and still proceed, you should be held accountable like drunker drivers are.

I am not saying sipping a bit of wine should immediately disqualify you from sex, but it should be off the table if any one of you gets drunk to the point where their judgement is noticeably impaired.

Sex of a persons involved doesn't matter in consideration and abuse happens to both sexes, but clearly to women more often.

"I am a fan of Bostrom’s conjecture about the simulation, though."

It's boring as hell, metaphysical conjecture, suitable for late night bar talk and deus-ex-machina sci fi plots. The 1/3 probability especially is total bullshit. It's fun if viewed as an art project, and as such has some entertainment value.

It does not really explain anything. Unless one enjoys figuring out with theoretical physics, which facets of our world would point out to a simulated existence, it offers nothing of value when seriousy figuring our place in the cosmos.
I'm reminded of the old problem of the flight of bumble bees. Someone did some calculations on bees, modeling their flight using the same properties of aerodynamics as fixed wing aircraft, and they came to the conclusion that bees couldn't fly. Of course the obvious answer was that bees simply don't fly the way that fixed wing aircraft do and we merely did not understand how they flew at the time (we do know). But imagine an alternate world, a world where bees and other flying insects did not exist, then the equivalent calculation might be taken much more seriously about the impossibility of flying insects.

Similarly, what do we know about hyper advanced technological civilizations with the capability of colonizing galaxies? Basically nothing. So any model we have of them is fundamentally invalid. Even if we pretend that layering on a bunch of "conservative assumptions" can remove that fundamental difficulty of having zero knowledge of such civilizations, it very much does not. At the end of the day this is a problem that is beyond our current understanding and we cannot make any firm statements about it one way or another.

"Do women react to alcohol differently?"

Yes, actually. Women metabolize it differently, plus size matters. Men are typically larger than women. They can handle more liquor and be less drunk. So a hetero couple that are consuming alcohol together at the same pace typically causes dramatically greater impairment for her than for him and more quickly.

Alcohol is the single most common date rape drug and is a factor in the vast majority of date rapes.

Additionally, highly sexually aroused women lose certain cognitive functions. This is not true for men. I strongly suspect this element is a significant factor in many social norms that establish different expectations for male and female sexual behavior.

Women literally have their judgment impaired by high arousal. I think this is part of why society as a whole is pickier about the need for women to pursue more cautious strategies when choosing a sex partner.

As someone who just implemented hierarchical probabilistic PCA in stan, I agree that it takes finesse, but it is no means impossible. Doing this sort of work efficiently in stan seems to require a some degree of understanding about how the sampler works. It also may require really thinking through your model. It saves you from deriving your own conditional distributions and writing a gibbs sampler, but you're going to have to do some analysis if you want to fit models of certain complexity.

KL divergence minimization (variational inference) is typically a weak approximation to the model you specified. I have seen it produce inferences on simulated which are just plain wrong. These "wrong" models are still often good predictors, so whether variational inference will work well for you depends on whether you care about making valid inferences or just doing prediction.

I'm thinking in a way, those awake may be at the mercy of those who sleep. Say the sleepers could hide - they could avoid a lot of turmoil, like these bamboo species that germinate for a hundred years, thus avoiding herbivores and vermin. Sleepers also can presumably also conserve resources better while those awake may build, and loose empires in the process.
Tying the messaging to something that was already familiar and ubiquitous (phone numbers) while keeping the interface essentially the same was a real innovation.

Besides the easy answer that we're looking in the wrong places by virtue of using current human technology, my take is that an "advanced" civilization capable of interstellar travel will have learned to be way more efficient with energy usage. They'd have to be efficient for "advanced" energy usage to be cheap enough at the scale of a civilization instead of rare and expensive moonshot projects.

So they're only undetectable as a side effect of being efficient. Not because they're hiding or have all died in a cosmic extinction.
> You've illustrated why I'm against the kind of simplistic programming maxims you'll find in "Effective X" books.

Another thing you won't find in this book is the C++ Gospel, the One True Path to perfect C++ software. Each of the Items in this book provides guidance on how to develop better designs, how to avoid common problems, or how to achieve greater efficiency, but none of the Items is universally applicable. ...

If you follow all the guidelines all the time, you are unlikely to fall into the most common traps surrounding C++, but guidelines, by their nature, have exceptions. That's why each Item has an explanation. The explanations are the most important part of the book.

The argument I've heard most is that a civilization only has a short time where it's blasting broadcasts into space willy-nilly, before improving their tech and making it more efficient, thus dramatically lowering its potential to be discovered by its stray broadcasts.
Both of those are meaningless to a company when compared to having 30% more money to devote to their projects. Because of lockups, the IPO pop is irrelevant to employees and most insiders, whose proceeds are usually determined by the stock's value six months from IPO.

The first point amounts to one good press cycle. You can get that other ways and the lasting value of a single cycle of fluffed up good press based on underwriters and their cronies making money on their shares is nil.

The second is entirely the underwriter's problem. A company only IPOs once; there's no reason for them to take a hit to help the underwriter and friends make money for no reason. The underwriter takes a cut and a fee regardless.
What pain relievers are much more effective than acetaminophen, and much higher in terms of safety? NSAIDs are a huge cause of bleeding and renal insufficiency.

Your advice is actually good for a slightly unexpected reason: most people can't really understand the difference between UI and UX. Even worse are those that don't get it that "UI design" is of itself completely different from "graphic design". So if you tell someone "UX is terribly important", 90% of the time they will focus on "UI design" or "graphic design" and miss the point entirely while wasting tons of resources.

You can have:

- products with horrible UIs and horrible graphic design, but awesome user experience (UXs) -- because they solve a problem perfectly while enabling a good workflow, or are extensible and adaptable to new unanticipated workflows

- products with horrible graphic design but great UIs -- if the user flow is intuitive and productive, the interface responsive and discoverable, it really doesn't matter how shit looks

- products with great UIs and awesome graphic design but horrible UX -- the UI may be both intuitive and awesomly designed and responsive... but if it enables wrong or sub-optimal workflows more than the right ones, nudging users towards bad mindsets/perspectives/workflows, it lowers everyone's productivity and sooner or later people will realize that they are dragged down or disabled by that product with the "great" UI

So yeah... if what I wrote above ain't obvious to you, then don't focus on UX, because you'll actually do it wrong anyway. Focus on the problem you solve, on the product you develop to solve it, and on selling the solution. If the UX is not extremely bad or you're not in a "fashion/fad" driven niche, it will probable be ok despite suboptimal UX if you do the rest right.
I would think so as well at least since I heard for example a batch of tiny satellites that were connected to twitter recently made it into space. Doesn't seem related but yeah.

There's slack, sure. But "nonsensical" is obviously false -- the two must be correlated else profit margins would be detached from labor costs, which we know is false at a macro level.

We couldn’t detect a remote civilization at a 21st century equivalent stage of development. But at 22nd century level, they’d be able to launch a Bracewell-von Neumann self-replicating interstellar probe... and it would take just one such event to lead to the permanent saturation of the Galaxy by its descendants. So where are they? The only really satisfactory conclusion is that we’re the first or only civilization to approach a BvN launch.

> In the US, those are protected categories about which a prospective employer may not inquire

No, they aren't. First, it's questionable whether sexual orientation is a federally protected axis of discrimination, and, second, it's illegal to discriminate on protected axes (except where they are bona fide qualifications, or some other exception to the general rule exists), not to enquire on them (HR will generally avoid enquiry not necessary for a clearly legal purpose to mitigate the risk that that will be viewed as evidence of discrimination, not because it is illegal in and of itself.)

You’re not wrong. Especially not about the ads. What we need, unfortunately, are (at least) 2 very difficult things to achieve legislatively:

1. A legal framework for health-related products & services that meaningfully protects individual privacy, and yet also preserves the conditions for the kind of velocity and rate of change that brings technological progress to the masses reliably and quickly.

2. Massive academic funding for more “pure” research in hardware & software design, engineering, the philosophy of what’s possible, the phenomenon and ethics of what we choose to build, and so on. TLDR Pay more people more money to do important research in the public domain, which I can’t help but think would attract many of the CS types you mentioned.

It is true as far as we know. However:

* Boeing is guilty of the same, selling hundreds of both the 737 and 787 far below production costs to be able to compete with Airbus' 320 and 350.

* Slapping such a massive tarif onto the CSeries was a political move aimed purely at squashing a new competing product that barely overlaps in cost/capabilities with a 40 year old, obsolete Boeing product.

The most essential list of resources for Front-End beginners
Something to consider is that the universe is 13-odd billion years old, and from our perspective, the edge of the observable universe is about 46 billion light years away.

At interstellar distances, it is very difficult to detect something unless it is emitting something: electromagnetic energy or gravitational waves (and those are only possible to detect when there are super-massive bodies doing something extremely energetic, like two black holes or neutron stars merging).

Earth's man-made electromagnetic radius is about 110 light years. We're pretty much invisible to any other life out there.

But what about aliens that have been around for a long time? Wouldn't we see some evidence of them?

Well, the other problem is that space itself is expanding. The observable universe is 91 billion light years in diameter, but as space expands, the farthest galaxies are receding from us at ever-increasing speeds, eventually becoming invisible to us as well.

The unimaginably vast spatial and temporal scale of the universe means that countless alien civilizations may have come and gone, along with any sign of their history if their light waves are outside of our observable universe. Or their signals arrived and ceased long before humans even existed, let alone had the technological capabilities required to receive and interpret such signals (arguably, only since the advent of digital computers).

Factor in the 100 billion (or maybe 10 times more[1]) galaxies that we can see, and the 160 billion stars (solar systems, possibly) per galaxy, and the probability that we will detect an alien civilization (or vice-versa), where we are and when we are, in a universe that is mostly empty space, before we ourselves die out, seems rather small.
