Part of what I am saying is that clear "bright line" consent itself is kind of a mythical unicorn we chase.

People who grow up with Catholic guilt or who were sexually abused as a child (etc ad nauseum) may, themselves, feel conflicted about having sex at all, even with their spouse. (I speak from firsthand experience as someone who was sexually abused as a child.)

Sexual consent is just not the nice, simple thing that some people want it to be. There are people who can't get laid without getting liquored up. There are people who have rape fantasies because they want sex, but don't want to be "at fault" for doing something that they have internalized is inherently bad and verboten.

This element is mostly not discussed. The subject of rape comes up, and people don't want to talk about how personal baggage intersects with sexual morality and seriously muddies the waters on exactly what constitutes a consenting moral sexual encounter. If you need to have a drink to get laid at all, telling people you need to be sober amounts to telling them you can't get laid until you work out your personal demons. (Which is not what I am saying, but it may be what people "hear" when I say certain things.) This is incredibly problematic.
Almost all of the UFO reports whose evidence consists entirely upon video evidence can be discarded immediately, so claims like those made in this thread that write off all unexplained UFOs as being optical illusions, bugs on lenses, are red herrings because the cases that are interesting are very easily ruled out as being visual artifacts or failures in human perception.

What remains are cases that usually involve multiple professional pilots, with witnesses on ground and in air, combined with radar signatures and ground control tracking to confirm the existence of the object's presence.

But you know, those big knobby things on the sills in the tunnels from the station to the Hyatt Hotel? Those are there to keep people from sleeping there (they weren't there in the 80s when I lived there - and they were added about the same time all the green phone banks by the station were taken out).

But, you know, it's still warm! And people go there. And they are kicked by some of the teenage thugs at night and rousted and moved by the police. And are often found dead by the phone banks (all of two last time I was there) closer to the hotel, above ground).

I've never lived in SF. And I was friends with a couple of structural-choice-homeless guys in Japan. But - still - having to step-over or recusitate dead people every morning seems grubby to me.

EDIT: I said "the station". I meant Shinjuku. I actually lived out past Wako, and commuted to north of Shinagawa by a bus I picked up in Shibuya every day. There is no "the station", so I apologize.

In New York State, “decriminalized” marijuana means the offense is a violation, which is less than a misdemeanor. It’s essentially a $100 ticket for simple possession under 28g.

Anecdotally, I’ve found it quite easy to get these cases dismissed. They frequently don’t test the alleged substance because it’s too expensive for the state. So, the judge ends up dismissing the case due to lack of evidence.
as far as i know, the state pursues criminal cases while a civil case generally requires paying for a prosecuting attorney. so...unlikely to be possible for the average person.

also, i think that in the US a defamation suit requires some sort of assessment the claim being actually true or false (as you can't defame with demonstrable truth), or at least some strong sense of merit, as well as some assessment of malice or bad-faith actions on the accuser/defamer end.

not to mention that there appears to be little enthusiasm for helping falsely accused, or those claiming to be such. there are fears that aggressively pursuing false accusers risks dissuading actual victims. bad situation all around.

There's one EU directive [1] that concerns "funicular railways and other installations with vehicles mounted on wheels or on other suspension devices where traction is provided by one or more cables", which "shall not apply to [...] lifts". Those are addressed in [2] which "shall apply to lifts permanently serving buildings and constructions and intended for the transport of [persons and goods] [...] serving specific levels, having a carrier moving along guides which are rigid and inclined at an angle of more than 15 degrees to the horizontal", but "shall not apply to [...] funicular railways".

I think it makes a bunch of sense for both Dev and Build. I wrote a small tool, stowage.org, to make it easier to bundle stuff up into containers and then execute like a local command, and to be honest it works great.

Back when Palm was up for sale, I was hoping beyond hope that Facebook would take an interest in getting into the hardware business (this is back when they were pushing for Facebook-specific app development more), decide to buy a phone manufacturer, and choose Palm, renaming the company in the process to FacePalm.

That was perhaps a bit too much to hope for.
>Of these, shenanigans notwithstanding, Firefox is still the least bad of the bad actors.

I would say Brave is better here. By default Brave blocks 3rd party cookies and ads. Brave has browser fingerprint blocking as well, but that is not enabled by default, presumably because that would break a lot of web applications and give the users a bad first impression of Brave.

Brave also comes with built in cryptocurrency micropayments as an optional way to sustain websites without advertisements.

The least bad actor in my view currently, is Brave.

I keep seeing the "we made a profit on the bailouts" line repeated. Usually these comments would end up partially sourced, but I got a bit tired of hearing the line repeated ad nauseam, so I did a bit of googling and came up with this Pro Publica scorecard: https://projects.propublica.org/bailout/

Taking them on faith alone, it'd seem that in the aggregate, we did alright. Is there any reason why I should believe otherwise?
I was too, and I've done decades of work on it — using more and stranger modalities than you'd believe. I understand the subtleties. That's a very large part of why I'm so ardent about the issue — because most people haven't, and don't, and swing mile-wide (and often self-serving) generalities around something where the subtleties are measured in microns.

I'm also not talking about "bright line consent". I'm talking about drawing a flashing-neon line on the near side of using intoxication to excuse shitty behavior. It never excuses anything. E.g., you get behind the wheel, over the limit, that is 100% on you, no matter what.
Yes, but social pressures make it hard for a man to make that accusation. Comments like the one you made, for instance.

> Is Mozilla strapped for cash or something?

Nope. According to their financial statement, the Mozilla Foundation had $69M in "cash and cash equivalents" at the end of last year, about $329M in investments, and literally gave away millions of dollars in grant funding. It's not entirely clear to me how the financial interaction works between them, but the privately-held Mozilla Corporation (i.e. the 1000+(!) employee company that actually makes Firefox, and which the Foundation owns as a subsidiary) had over $500M in revenue from their search engine deals...

WRT your first point, well, he's an eat-your-own-dogfood philosopher, and he sets an example to what is possible with his own behaviour. And he just does not make trade-offs in his views. What we should collect from them is what's useful to us. It would be kind of hypocritical if he was telling non-free software is evil, but recommended some such software.

WRT your second point, that is subjective and ad hominem. I live in Emacs and without GNU I was stuck with Windows.

I'll answer a few questions since no one else has yet.

1) I like to think I'm getting more efficient everyday? Some days yes, some days no. There are so many tools to learn, it's hard to learn it all, but I like to think I grow everyday.

2) I like using tmux with teamocil to setup my dev enviornment. I mainly use react boilerplate for my frontend, with yarn and django or flask on the backend running in virtualenv, using virtualenvwrapper. When I startup my teamocil/tmux session, I open several panes that contain frontend and backend dev servers, and it opens other panes that then open up the frontend and backend repos in Atom. Having this easy to reproduce dev environment has saved me countless hours, and it's nice to follow the identical process for new projects (reduces cognitive load, if docs are missing).

3) I adapt by getting frustrated about something enough to I seek out a better solution. Also I read hn often and look for interesting frontend tools/trends.

4) I work as a full stack dev at a small healthcare nonprofit. I am one of 2 full time sw engineers.

5) Antiquated build systems + bureaucracy would kill my vibe. Also disruptive would be inefficient or ineffective communication channels between design team or PMs or customers/clients.

The definition of "hate speech" is itself a matter of opinion, however. Of late, it seems to be more and more used as a general way to describe speech one doesn't like. For example, I've seen people claim that Damore's essay is "hate speech", on the basis that it justifies and enables discrimination.
Is the intent of this comment to suggest that people are being silenced for contentious opinions and that is bad?

i'd wager that's true of every crime, from thievery to murder.

what you're suggesting is to treat every accusation as true.

We are on the same page. I don't think intoxication is an excuse.

I advocate that women should not put themselves in certain situations and I get accused of victim blaming for trying to empower women to live safely.

But I did years of therapy. I generally don't drink. Women who do drink and/or have not sorted their childhood baggage get pretty enraged when I suggest not putting themselves in certain situations.
Did she get a breathalyzer? How do the police prove she was drunk?

People close to me have been victims of acquaintance rape in their homes. It’s a horrific crime that shakes the victim to her core and leaves her violated in many ways. The process of getting justice is like getting victimized again.
I don’t think this needs to be as complex as you’re making it. I take the position that peoples’ careers are not normally derailed by baseless accusation. Or more specifically: they can be, but the likelihood is small enough that it is not worth worrying about.

In particular, I would be interested to see examples where peoples’ careers have been ruined by sexual harassment, rape or gender discrimintion accusations that were legitimately baseless. I think that “the court of public opinion” is a red herring, because from what I can tell news outlets that people take seriously put serious due diligence into finding evidence against the accused. And as you said, they do not need to abide by the standard of reasonable doubt that the court system requires.

I also think that this discussion is mind of muddied by peoples’ perception of how likely accusations are to be believed. If someone starts a rumor about your job performance, that might be equally believable to a rape accusation, but it’s frankly not serious or “juicy” enough to really spread around. That won’t be reported in a major newspaper or make the rounds on Twitter. It’s just not going to attract eyeballs. But your example of child pornography is a good one, and probably comparable in my opinion. If someone is actually concerned about rumors against, I think it’s fair to give them that rape accusations are more worth worrying about in terms of damage than a rumor that people are going to sort of shrug off and not leave any one team or company.

One thing that I like to think about with respect to accusation validity - is there a heuristic we can use to informally determine the likelihood of an accusation before we find the conclusion? For example, if we are self-aware in acknowledging that our bar for truth is lower than a court, can we find commonalities in reaction or public response that are generally unique to people who actually did do the things they’re accused of? It’s not rigorous, but then again it doesn’t really have to be - most examples of careers being ruined by these accusations feature at least three different women. I think that if you can find three unrelated accusations, that’s a reasonable degree of certainty for the public, especially when you consider that these accusers do not typically have an incentive to collude (they don’t get anything material from publicized accusations).
>Not true at all. The amount of goods produced by people in jail is a negligible part of the economy.

It's still a hugely profitable business on its own for those involved, so that comparison is kind of beyond the point. Pimps profits also make for "a negligible part of the economy" but their profession is a thing.

If I were to attribute malice, I'd say that you are actively avoiding the point I've been making to keep pushing your narrative.

The text you quote just says that some behavior might be driven by biological differences. Cool, nobody is arguing that. So what's the point you are trying to make?

The point I'm trying to make is that there's enough evidence that culture plays a major role in behavior and so we should maybe try to make the playing field fairer, so that if there are any biological traits dictating this or that behavior, they can be allowed. You know, work on what we know before we focus on what might be. It's pretty simple, really.
