Guessing by the numbers I'd assume "overtures" and "badgering" are more severe than the catch-all "harassment". But can't be sure. Also "coercion or quid-pro-quo" being so close in numbers to the former makes it even more confusing.

Excellent point, I never think twice when people insist on the original source. The motive behind the article matters and secondary independent / unbiased source can provide a more balanced and truthful perspective.
Where’s the control survey against which we can judge the significance of these figures?
I know I am getting underpaid, but I am okay with it. For me, it is the ratio of money and stress that matters. Lets say I get 20% hike but it comes with 50% more stress. I'd say no thanks and be happy with what I got. Better work is welcome, but more stress isn't.
It changes the narrative of "liberal bullies are ruining our dongle jokes". The fact that a woman was fired for trying to make our industry more inclusive shows we're not a leftie monoculture. The fact that she was subjected to rape and death threats shows there's a lot of toxic misogyny in our industry.
It can be simultaneously true that people are afraid to talk because of SJWs criticizing them, and also they can be afraid to talk because right wing trolls will target them for harassment. Who in their right mind would want to risk being the next Zoë Quinn?

It subjects you to the punitively complex PFIC rules. These are largely a protectionist measure for the US financial system but you get caught up in them regardless.

I saw a graph on one of the pro-Tesla sites that basically showed that the Tesla debt is to scale with the rampup of the Model 3 production, and that it isn't out of proportion for the scale of what the production scale of the Model3. And the scale now is above profitability. Is that not true?

In section 2.9.1 Quaternions, 4th paragraph reads as if it's missing an equation for the second representation of a quaternion:

A quaternion can be represented as a quadruple [EQ present] or as [EQ missing] , where is an imaginary 3-vector and is the real part. We will use both representations interchangeably in this section.

This is what it looks like for me:

* Learning tools (they get in the way of solving the problem at the beginning imo)

* Incomplete/inaccurate documentation

* Not knowing what things are possible (both in code a la standard libraries or language features and working with tools like debuggers)

* Not knowing simple best practices until you're bit by something and find them out through a slow, painful discovery process
Supposedly, Tesla's cars themselves sell for more than their production cost. The loss comes in supporting Tesla-as-a-fuel-reseller* - aka the Supercharger network.

It would be like if Toyota started opening gas stations, and Camrys and RAV4s and Siennas and Tundras got almost-free gasoline. While these businesses are complementary, they're very different operations, and should at least be in separate business units, if not a subsidiary or partnership with an existing fuel supplier.

My theory is that engineers are too honest, take new initiatives too literally or simply not politically savvy. Everybody complains about title inflation but the engineering department is the only department that actually does something about it. We have the same with travel expenses. My department does often not even do necessary travel while everybody else goes to "offsite" meetings and "kickoffs" and a ton of other stuff all the time.
That is a rather blanket statement... it's much like saying "Left wing and socialist groups exist to commit genocide against those that would otherwise rebel and to coerce the populace into submission."

It seems to me that the police in question have targeted those groups most likely to insight violent acts. The leftist groups are not innocent, and neither are the right. There are limited resources and those most significant threats need to be targeted first.

As a more libertarian minded person, I see a lot of those outspoken are often lumped in with the "right wing" groups you mention, and that broad brush you speak with does nothing to create progress or foster open discussion.
Not only have we collectively forgotten WWII, we've forgotten that we've forgotten.

We all take the post-WWII political order and prosperity for granted. I studied International Politics in undergraduate school at the end of the 1990s in the U.S., when all the institutions (foreign and domestic) were pretty much the same. My European history professor recounted first-hand stories from interwar period France and Hungary. A few years later 9/11 happened and everything changed, even our perspective on history. I have no doubt that curriculums have also changed considerably, and along with them all the unstated perspectives and opinions that weren't (and can't be) adequately articulated in text.

The sad part is that rising working-class unrest with the new international order had been presaged in academia for decades. Industry began moving out of Western Europe and the U.S. to Asia in the 1970s, accelerating in the 1980s. Economists were telling policy makers the whole time that the West would need to prepare for the economic and social changes. Only Germany appears to have taken this seriously, though perhaps their industrial programs were predominately driven by domestic dynamics absent elsewhere in the West.

Plenty of people earn more than that, that's barely anywhere near the level of a typical software engineer in many locations.

And at that point there's a lot of paperwork to correctly attribute the foreign taxes. Even more so if the country one lives in has mandatory pension or retirement funds, at which point you need someone well versed in 2+ country's tax laws and corresponding agreements to figure out what to write in the forms, never mind what needs paying. (Did I mention: once the country of residence processes the tax return, the US tax return may need amending with further payments based on the actual tax amount in the country of residence.) It's pure expensive time-killing bureacracy.

It gets worse if you want to invest outside of your retirement schemes. Other posters here seem to have already brought up the PFIC issue.

One result of the tax laws is that Americans are nowadays refused custom at most financial institutions in most countries.
If we're using a system that puts catcalling in the same bucket as actual rape, that's a little bit of a problem. Catcalling is offensive, tasteless, and disgusting, but it's not the same as forcing someone to have sex with you.

No one is suggesting catcalling is the same as rape; people are suggesting they're both in the same category. To use an analogy, a Ford Fiesta and a Ferrari FXX aren't going to compete in a race together but they're both cars.

I'm not sure why this is getting downvoted; it's entirely relevant. Sexual harassment is abuse of power. Power is disproportionately in the hands of certain historically favored groups, so a) people in those groups will be able to get away with more, and b) people growing up in those groups will be used to getting away with more.
I love this idea of adding real dollar cost to messaging. At the very least you would have a pile of money to go with your pile of harassing messages. That seems like an improvement. And you'd take money away from harassers.

Making this a market seems like an interesting idea.

This attitude represents a fundamental misunderstanding about how China works and Chinese attitudes. For westerners, it is hard to understand how interconnected governments and businesses are in mainland China. China is the most opaque business world we can imagine and Chinese military intelligence has deep connections to Chinese businesses. It paints itself as a free market economy but it is highly controlled and authoritarian.

The West has this to some extent, but not at the same scale or connections. US companies are far more independent.
I don't think I've ever seen "her" used as a gender-neutral pronoun outside of abstract examples in philosophy papers. GP almost certainly meant to say they were assaulted by a woman.

I'm honestly not sure i believe sexual assaults are way less common against men, although men may not recognize them as often. I've had several women behave towards me in ways that they would definitely call sexual assault if the roles were reversed.

as for the down votes, look what GP wrote:

> So you were sexually assaulted by a female? Am I missing something?

this is an incredibly blunt and rude question to ask a victim of sexual assault. it implies that the very notion of the assault even occurring is so baffling as to require double checking that the poster even meant what they said.

Yeah I should. Problem is that I need to put some finishing touches on it before it would be usable for other people and I don't have access to the system anymore because I graduated so I need to find someone with access to test it out. If anyone has access to myspanishlab by Pearson let me know!

Even before this survey I would assert harassment in this context was a well-known problem.

_Only_ providing a means for them to report is _requiring_ them to take action to prevent the behavior from happening. I'm not arguing against a reporting system, I'm just saying it's not nearly enough, and I don't know how to describe not taking action until a victim reports when there are actions that could prevent the problem in the first place as anything other than dumping responsibility.

>Their American status can make them untouchable by many banks. Many foreign banks do not want American account holders.

This is an understatement.

Some years ago, I was a citizen of Pakistan and had a green card in the US. I never had any accounts in Pakistan. My father in Pakistan had passed away, and I traveled there to visit family. All of my share of the inheritance money was sitting in my brother's account in Pakistan. So we went together to a bank to open an account in my name and transfer my share of the inheritance over.

Now in Pakistan people have an ID card similar to the Social Security Card. They provide a different one for overseas Pakistanis. So when they asked for my ID card, I gave them my overseas ID card. Things were going smoothly until the person got to the address field.

"Oh, I see you live in the US?"

"Yes."

"Sorry, we cannot open a bank account for you."

I talked a bit more, and explained to them that I'm a Pakistani citizen, and not a US one. Nope. The laws were clear. No bank accounts for US based persons without special approval from some senior officials.

I asked would this apply even if I didn't have a green card and was merely a student in the US?

Yup.

The reason they gave me? US tax laws.
Does that show the debt servicing costs vs the expected profitability of the current production pace? The August/September production numbers were pretty robust, and given the profit margin on the current models I could see the debt being serviced.

The tweets and executives leaving are just drama. Tesla will make or break on the production rate and the profitability per car, both of which seemed on target, but I haven't seen definitive numbers.
"One day in 2011, a Google executive named Isaac Taylor learned that, while he was on paternity leave, Levandowski had modified the cars’ software so that he could take them on otherwise forbidden routes. A Google executive recalls witnessing Taylor and Levandowski shouting at each other. Levandowski told Taylor that the only way to show him why his approach was necessary was to take a ride together. The men, both still furious, jumped into a self-driving Prius and headed off.

The car went onto a freeway, where it travelled past an on-ramp. According to people with knowledge of events that day, the Prius accidentally boxed in another vehicle, a Camry. A human driver could easily have handled the situation by slowing down and letting the Camry merge into traffic, but Google’s software wasn’t prepared for this scenario. The cars continued speeding down the freeway side by side. The Camry’s driver jerked his car onto the right shoulder. Then, apparently trying to avoid a guardrail, he veered to the left; the Camry pinwheeled across the freeway and into the median. Levandowski, who was acting as the safety driver, swerved hard to avoid colliding with the Camry, causing Taylor to injure his spine so severely that he eventually required multiple surgeries."

These things sound like they require way more oversight before they should be allowed on the road if a single engineer can override protections like these.

Of course victims should not have to bear the responsibility, yet it's an unfortunate state of affairs that we must rely on victims in order to bring justice and awareness.

Not sure how YC would go about proactively screening away bad actors. Most of these people tend to be powerful/rich enough that they very likely are not on any lists to be weeded out from the get go.

Sure the (potential) victim shouldn't have to do anything and have a safe environment available, yet the mechanism for determining a group's sex-abuse-potential social credit/standing doesn't currently exist en-masse, neither would most of the population want a sex-assault-credit-score.

In your scenario, potential bad financial actors can be screened a la concrete behaviors. Did the VC write the check or not. Does the VC have the balance to show in their bank account. Are they in breach of contract? Even if there were bad financial actors, an anonymous list to report such behavior is not without merit. It could be a useful way to bring a class action to a bad actor without tipping off the bad actor from running away. Then the flip side is, "you are otherwise upstanding, but our list says you looked at a female in a creepy manner 10 years ago, so we don't want your investment."

In the case of sexual assault, there's varying degrees of behavior depending on context that may or may not constitute get-on-a-sexual-assault-list behavior. This grayness makes a list hard. Usually, egregious acts are easy to judge by. However, more subtle acts have a shroud of plausible deniability... "We were sort of seeing each other and a partner was unsure about a guy/girl, but decided to feel him/her out on some dates... and also he/she could make a vc intro didn't hurt..." How quid pro quo is this? It's perfectly plausible that the individual in my hypothetical situation is an upstanding person and truly was attracted and only made a single attempt at someone they liked, or it could be that this individual is a serial hit-on-potential-founders, but doesn't necessarily do enough to actually get charged with sexual assault/rape, but probably should be barred from being an investor.

The research does show that offenders tend to be repeat actors. Building such a list seems like the step in the right direction. The existence of the list itself does serves as a potential deterrent. It usually isn't until multiple victims come forward where the perpetrator does not have much anything to hide behind as a she-said/he-said debate. Thus potentially getting on the list is something perpetrators need to consider before acting badly.

The justice system is innocent until proven guilty, thus an actor must broach a line before they can be dealt with. Unfortunately, it's only the victims that do have the power to bring awareness to the existence of their perpetrators. Every resource we can dedicate to enabling victims is a step closer to where we should be going.
As a US citizen you're taxed even if you stop living in the US. In many states, you have to show proof of residency to vote, so there's taxation without representation.

You have to renounce your US citizenship to stop being taxed on income you earn abroad.
I get this same feeling reading the bogleheads.org investment forum. It's mostly comprised of the 1%, and while the investing advice really is wonderful, a lot of the questions asked are to the tune of "Is 3-10 million dollars enough to retire?" and "can I afford a 1 million dollar house making 510K a year?"

The life advice they offer has a different set of (mostly comical) issues. Mostly revolves around various permutations of "I worked 30-40 years at a company and got a pension paying out 10-20x what I contributed. If millennials would just work harder, they too could do that!"
This is why I scoff at those who believe a technological "singularity" is coming. Progress is not exponential. There will be no post-scarcity society, no AI overlords, no geek rapture.
It usually fluctuates by 2 or 3 cents ( ~0.98 to ~1.03).
