Here's the Wikipedia definition[1], which seems accurate to what I understand from the term:

> An assault is the act of inflicting physical harm or unwanted physical contact upon a person or, in some specific legal definitions, a threat or attempt to commit such an action.
>
> ...
>
> Traditionally, common law legal systems had separate definitions for assault and battery. When this distinction is observed, battery refers to the actual bodily contact, whereas assault refers to a credible threat or attempt to cause battery.

So, to prove assault, you need to prove that the victim didn't want the physical contact.

Rape usually involves assault (in fact, it's defined as a type of "sexual assault"), but statutory rape is a bit different because it essentially says that an individual cannot consent under a certain age and is defined as not involving force. So, I think it's fair to say that statutory rape is a special case of rape that doesn't involve assault. Some jurisdictions use the term "assault" to describe statutory rape as well, but I personally think that's unhelpful because we want statutory rape to include cases where the victim made every indication that they wanted the encounter (they're below the age of consent, after all), so using the term assault just confuses the term.

And that brings us to force. A rape can happen where physical force isn't involved, but it can involve other types of force, like intimidation or other types of manipulation (e.g. encouraging use of drugs to reduce inhibitions). I think nonphysical assault still involves force at some level (again, maybe not physical force), so I would say rape requires force.

If you're going to claim that someone is guilty of assault, I think you need to prove some use of force, physical or otherwise. I believe that statutory rape does not necessarily involve assault, at least not in the sense that we use it for people over the age of consent. Sex with someone under the age of consent may be considered rape even if the exact same set of circumstances above the age of consent wouldn't be treated as such. Therefore I don't think we can automatically assume assault from a statutory rape case.

Other people got it because they upvoted. But to shed a little light, a bubble team is a term from the NCAAB for a team that may or may not make the final 64 team bracket. Thus my comment, which again other people understood, is that idk if I'm in the 42M or not.

Hey look, arrogance aside you learned something today or not. I at least learned that you have no clue what march madness is. So downvote away it doesnt change your gaffe.

Why is the title extrapolating from 4 interviews to 42M people? First off, I can't spot the 42M figure anywhere - I only see 36M - and the article doesn't seem to be extrapolating like that. It's just saying there's potential gains to be made from researching and targeting the super-rich, in a multitude of ways.

Iran obviously. That is their ally.
I am also interested in that - but as they could not stop the drone bombing them they did not have that data either.

however an earlier comment linked eventually to mintpressnews and a claim that they are domestically manufacturing drones (UAV-like not consumer)

If these are domestically produced (presumably helped by Iran as opposed to supplied) then the bar to becoming a "threat to your neighbours" just got a lot lower - Yemen was poor before years of war.

https://www.mintpressnews.com/uae-yemen-troop-withdrawal-hou... (No idea about the provenance of this article, but it says Houthi have drones, and they just bombed so it must have something going for it)
Things were achieved by blood for millennia, and not much got better. But after a couple centuries of technological growth and free exchange, things are better.

>The problem is how to measure that skill.

Then it's a testing/measurement problem, not a meritocracy problem.

> The inclusive meritocracy in the article solves that problem by expanding the definition of skilled, and by investing in a more diverse group of individuals. This results in more (in number) skilled people at the end of the investment.

There is no problem to solve. If you don't choose the best, you choose sub-optimal personal. Also the definition of "inclusiveness" is ridiculous, as it assumes that diversity means hiring different sex or race, but not diversity of thoughts or culture.

In fact, it opposes different ideas, it's exactly the inverse of diversity. It's a thought monoculture.
On the dark side of things I am not sure if Yemen would ever have been too prosperous in the long term. They are bordered by one of the worst countries on the world. Saudi Arabia has funded acts of terror (9/11), harbored international criminals (several of whom fled India) and is practically a serfdom which uses Islam as its recruitment tool. On the other side is Iran which is again super messed up. So it was basically impossible for them to be prosperous for too long. I hope Saudi Arabia has to pay them lots of reparation money.
It's a pretty common thing among non-native speakers who have nonetheless interacted or lived in the English-speaking world for virtually all their lives. I know a bunch of people who are in the same situation (although, clearly, not as famous :) ).

My slight Irish accent is an endless source of fun when I'm abroad -- I'm not a native speaker and wasn't born anywhere near Ireland, or anywhere near the English-speaking world for that matter. I haven't even lived in the English-speaking world. The longest time I've spent is an English-speaking country was two weeks, which I spent in Scotland during my honeymoon. When I tell people where I'm from, no one believes me. They're skeptical even after I show them my ID card.

But I've been reading, writing and speaking English, during work and leisure hours, for God knows how many years now, so I can read, write and speak it pretty well. The accent was an accident -- I have an ear for this sort of stuff but I didn't really try to develop one, I just acquired it because I ran into The Dubliners and Christy Moore at a time when I was very interested in this type of music and for some reason I ended up borrowing some of the sound. Frankly, it's a little embarrassing at times -- for example, I do my best to hide it when I'm speaking to someone who is actually from Ireland, because I'm always afraid it might sound like I'm mocking them or trying to hard.

But other than that, it's been one my biggest assets. I've spent some time in $bigcorp world, and I've met a lot of people who were smarter and more experienced than me but nonetheless didn't get as much credit or attention as I got, partly because their thick Eastern-European accents and improper use of English idioms made it hard for them to communicate and painted them in a stereotypical light.

Thank you for the kind words. I personally don't buy at all into the line of thought that says alcohol addiction is genetic. If that was true, one could be an alcoholic without drinking even one beer in his/her life, and die without knowing it. It would mean that, if alcohol was never invented/found, there would still be people with a genetic predisposition to alcohol.

As to me personally, I work from home, so I likely emit considerably less than most people. And most of my energy consumption is electricity ($200/mo - servers in the garage), but in my state that's mostly hydro. I do eat meat though, and I'm not about to stop eating it.

Then buy a Linux laptop. Problem(s) solved.

I can't understand some of you guys. You pay 2k for a laptop which has a shitty keyboard and then you look for excuses to justify your decision. Sure, a lot of what you mention about Windows machines is true. But they're also preventable with work arounds. What kind of a work-around is there for the problem with MacPros keyboards?

I have a Toshiba laptop (Tecra Z40). Aside from the crap they install to make their tailor-made hardware to work everything else is stellar. The machine works for the last two years problem free, and it will probably keep working for another five. Don't make it sound like every non Apple laptop is crap because it isn't.

As someone who loathes flying with the heat of a thousand suns and who has taken that route on Amtrak, I'll be happy to try this service at my next convenience.

I don't hate the ride on Amtrak, but it's a hard route to sleep, since it's just a little too short to be worth booking the sleeper (which ends up being about double the rate compared to the bus ride), and sleeping in the open cabin can be a bit of a challenge. That, and the roads are at least capable of allowing for some routing around, unlike Amtrak which frequently hits freight traffic and has a pretty abysmal on-time reputation for the Coast Starlight.

Not all of us are in a rush, and most of us could use a good night of unplugged sleep. Plus it shaves off a night in a hotel, so there's actual savings there too.

I don't think proper research can be done based on answers from only 4 interviewees. I think I know some people who belong to this group (although it's hard to tell seeing as I don't point blank ask them), and while they do fly quite often, they basically never fly private, which would instantly cut the amount of emissions mentioned in the article.

In addition, carbon taxes, and environmental taxes will specifically target this group as their main source of carbon emission, is transportation.

In general the Intel platform is quite the horror show of complex, deeply embedded layers of closed source software outside of the control of the user or the operating system. All the while these components have full control over the machine and all software running on it.

Intel ME, AMD PSP, the UEFI BIOS were just some sources of vulnerabilities coming with the hardware. So just buying another brand of laptop, PC or server won't do. There would need to be a fundamental shift towards handing back the user or owner full control over what is executed on his machine.

> And for a customer buying from this store, seeing these badges in the browser would let them decide how trustworthy the website is. I actually think with this solution getting the users to understand would be the least problem.

Given that a non-technical user can't tell the difference between an EV cert and a regular CV, I can't understand why they would care about the actual number of badges. Sliding scales just don't work, they just care about whether it's safe to use a website or not.

The browser vendors _could_ establish a baseline for the number of badges that would make a site acceptable. But the economics would have to match real world incentives (e.g. small and large businesses), and protect against problems like sybil attacks...but then we're back to the heart of the problem.

> If you're going to claim that someone is guilty of assault, I think you need to prove some use of force, physical or otherwise.

A real dictionary (Chambers) says this:

Assault:

1) violent physical or verbal attack

2) any act that causes someone to feel physically threatened, which is considered reckless or intentional, and which need not necessarily involve any physical violence

3) rape or attempted rape

Stallman is attempting to use human language like a programming language, but it does not work like that. That's not a problem with humans or other people: it's a deficit that Stallman has. Stallman is also claiming to ignore the legal definitions of technical words, while relying on those legal definitions when they support his points. This is an inconsistency in his argument.

Wikipedia has a strong Americo-centric world view and that sucks when we're discussing rape because in some states an act doesn't count as rape unless the victim uses physical force to fight off an attacker. That's a pretty terrible definition.
...or any country that wants to see the United States drawn into a proxy war for one of its client states in the Middle East. Or a country that wants to see oil prices rise in the short-term. Or a a country that wants to make European dependence on Saudi oil untenable, and put an end to the US sanctions regime.

The US is now the world's largest oil exporter, so a limited confrontation that leads to picking up slack in the global oil market and selling more arms to Saudi Arabia is very much in its interest.

It could be Iran, it could be others. It could be Iran and others, which is likely, because Iran doesn't have much money to spend right now.
May I assume, based on your comment

1. That prince Salman is a serious politician? I mean, give or take a bown saw?

2. That the conclusion of the former news is wrong? It looked more and more unlikely that this war can be won by Saudi Arabia. Now it looks, it might get lost.

By the way, the Emirates left the war already. Wonder why. If I had to take a guess I would say that a drone attack on the Dubai airport would do wonders to their air traffic. But you never know.

But plastics pollution seems to be literally poisoning every possible corner of the ecosystem, which might be a greater hazard to humans in the long run.

Regarding plastics, it could be a solution to put a very hefty tax on plastic, that's partially refundable if you return it to recycling/proper disposal.
This might reduce the incentives to produce single-use items out of plastic, but would not ban it (because for some use cases plastics is perhaps the only viable option, not just the cheapest).
If I had to guess, given his character, I would hazard something along the lines of "if you have the opportunity to make the world a better place, then you have the moral obligation to". If he were in a position where he wanted to commit suicide, it would be the "easy way out" - analogous to continuing his easy life in Hawaii, instead of throwing it all away out of duty.

Of course one can contrive scenarios where suicide is "the right thing to do", but I doubt Snowden expects to find himself in such a situation.
UPSynergy: Chinese-American Spy vs. Spy Story
Scale reduces diversity which increases vulnerability. Darwin would interrogate this potentiality in the following way(essentially articulating the characteristics and benefits conferred by his evolutionary model) : reproduction can essentially be viewed as scale in this kind of context: a turtle's reproduction produces lots of turtles, rather than a random assortment of lifeforms such as snails and rabbits, etc. In this sense, biological reproduction results in the 'scale' of some particular thing, i.e., 'more of the same', rather than 'different every time', i.e., differentiation, or diversity. The vulnerability produced by scale in this context is that some peril resulting from a change could render all instances of the scaled thing extict. Nature produces the differentiation required to increase survival chances in such circumstances by mutation taking place in the course of reproduction. What the OP's concern seems to introduce, at least from my perspective, is an argument for exploring the options and practicalities for considering the possibility of somehow contriving something akin to a 'mutation imperative' into the design policy leading up to the development of scaling processes, in order to introduce at least some potential for the level of differentiation to constitute a potential for adaptation and thereby confer a potential for survival in the face of what might otherwise be an extinction level event. It's kind of like advocating applying some kind of 'resilience theory' to 'scalable innovations', no? I don't know if anyone has already proposed or even implemented this approach elsewhere.
