> Selflessness and bravery to that end has always been celebrated throughout human history because it’s necessary to the survival of societies

I believe there's more romanticizing in this statement than evidence for it.

Ideas are subject to natural selection as much as individuals are. And for an idea to win this natural selection, it's not necessary to be useful for our species. Some ideas spread will because they give their carriers advantage over other people, like Science; some because they just resonate with our minds well and spread fast, like viral videos from Tiktok. Romanticizing of Spartans could easily fall into the latter category.

I agree that being able to defeat (and possibly kill) your enemies was important for us throughout history, but I doubt that being a stereotypical Spartan helps one do that. In the next parts of the linked post on Spartans, acoup says that they weren't as strong army as they were believed to be. Their greatest strength was their badass fame advertized by Socrates.

App is a great idea.

But in practice with your pants halfway down... hard to implement.

The fact is that consent can be withdrawn long after the act for a variety of reasons. Let’s get folks.

I think this is what Glenn Greenwald calls "hall monitor journalism":

"A new and rapidly growing journalistic “beat” has arisen over the last several years that can best be described as an unholy mix of junior high hall-monitor tattling and Stasi-like citizen surveillance. It is half adolescent and half malevolent. Its primary objectives are control, censorship, and the destruction of reputations for fun and power. Though its epicenter is the largest corporate media outlets, it is the very antithesis of journalism."

Its not just a matter of 'not being rapey' - its a matter of agency over the sexual act.

If you get consent from your partner, have sex with them, and then your partner changes their mind about it afterwards - for any reason they determine under their own agency, what is to be done to avoid the danger of being falsely accused of not having gained consent, other than to simply abstain?

If consent can be retracted after the act, the act is not safe. So abstinence is the only answer.

And really, this shift towards abstinence is an appropriate social response.
Being sexually active is particularly dangerous for heterosexual women.

It's nearly impossible to prove a rape case in court. Because of this, there has been some groundswell of support for relaxing the burden of proof in rape cases to a standard that might ultimately permit some false accusations to result in wrongful convictions (a horrifically bad idea that would likely be a Pandora's box imo).

If you reduce this down to the fundamental tension: either we have to ask women to become dramatically more vigilant and accept some nonzero risk of rape (more or less what we implicitly do already) OR we have to increase the likelihood of wrongful convictions.

As far as I've been able to discern, there is no good solution here. And that's how asinine ideas like this "sex consent app" show up. It's a kind of manifestation of denial.
Oh, the section about music programming environments contained a few really awesome things that were new to me.

I think it will be used to squeeze guys with less intelligence or perhaps guys who are naive for a lot of cash. I do not think the rape problem which is already pretty well addressed by laws is worth 'solving' by handing women a tool to blackmail guys. But then again if people truly want positive consent, it's actually the only way to do it. In that light recent changes to rape laws across the world to things similar to positive consent can be viewed as implying that this system should exist.
Definitely not. My impression though, is that the people who care about their conduct might read the document, and others will just gloss over it anyway. The energy is better spent elsewhere .

This is exactly right - I've had my kids in my mid 30s, and while there are upsides, there are downsides.

At a friend's wedding, his great grandmother was there. Hearing that, I realised there is an amazing upside to having kids a little earlier.

I have a theory that these kinds of proposals are driven by an unbalanced view of the nature of human sexuality. In other words, if you are someone who works with victims of sexual assault and sexual violence, you would have so much exposure to all the ways in which sex can go wrong that it would be easy to lose perspective on the fact that probably a vast, vast majority of sexual interactions between adults are probably perfectly fine and healthy.

Im not saying consent is not an issue which should not be taken seriously, but I think the effort to bring formalized tracking and regulation into sex - one of the most natural base and human behaviors besides eating and sleeping - seems like something you would do if you want to treat all sexuality on the terms of the worst examples of sexuality.
Think about how many non-basic need products that you know which consumers pay which is not some kind of exclusive or monopoly: Utilities, Cable, Cell phone, NetflixEtc, Uber*.

Today's consumer doesn't like to pay for anything, especially if it is a digital product. They will do whatever they can to get out of paying either by pirating or trying to get a refund/chargeback after using it.

Sometimes they will do an impulse buy. Which is what we were able to work for us, but then bad actors try to make your life as miserable as possible.

B2B is not rosy and has its own set of issues. But I would rather kick 50 ungrateful users from the platform to their face, rather than deal with 10k ungrateful consumers.
Could you detect consent through tracking brain waves?

There are few classrooms in china using bands to detect whether kids are focusing on the material or not. I wonder if that can be extended to consent too if it works. That will solve the problem of continuous consent.

The application of this stretches beyond the bedroom. It might be used in court, research, experiments, medical treatment, contracts, notarization, etc. You could add it as a layer in security or authorization systems.

That seems like an interesting problem to solve.
Blockchain can fix this! Imagine what smart-consent-contract could do. You set your rules, everybody can see it but you’re in full control and do not have the government in between. Now that’s real consent for the 21st century!

Ummm no. In fact the relationship between Spain and Guinea is surprisingly tenous considering the colonial past.

Guinea hardly makes it to the news and it isn't in the "national conscience" at all. The average educated spaniard would have to be reminded of the whole story.

Diplomatic relations are somewhat cordial, probably protecting some remaining economical interests, but a bit at "an arms length", as with other dictatorships.

Opposition politicians routinely seek refuge or meet in Spain without any trouble. If anything they decry the "hands off" stance of Spain, hardly the same as a "de facto colony" situation.
AI is pointless without the underlying skills to acquire and clean data.

If all you ever plan to do is take off-the-shelf data from some repository and teach yourself the mechanics of tensor flow or the others then by all means go ahead.

But if you expect to use AI in novel ways in novel applications truly new ways then you must understand how to acquire and create clean viable data.

That is a real grind for many. Unfortunately that is what many “data engineers“ are doing in practice.

It is a valuable skill but you might even have to get good at Excel.

> There is simply no other way for anyone to feel safe than to simply abstain.

Well, it's the same as with anti-natalism:

People who don't care about this stuff, will still have kids / take 'consent risks' to have sex.

An important complication about the topic at hand is that a lot of human courtship / flirting, involves plausible deniability. Eg extensive eye contact in a bar can indicate sexual interest, or perhaps you just have a booger on your nose.

Similarly, status and power play are just as much ingrained in human psyche as sexual behaviour. So there's lots of overlap. Lots of people enjoy when their prospective mate is a bit brazen (or, the opposite, plays extra shy).

Playing with social convention is a big part.

Human behaviour is messy.

i learned to control my TV habits by planning what i want to watch in advance. when the new TV guide came out i would mark every show that i wanted to watch, and then i followed that schedule and turned the TV on only for those shows and nothing else.

now that i can choose when to watch things, i pick the shows i follow, and when i have time for tv i just take an episode of these shows, ignoring everything else.

This is true for all forms of crime. No form of evidence is perfect: eyewitness accounts (human memory is terrible), DNA/fingerprinting/similar (mismatches do occur), circumstantial evidence (obviously not hard proof), confessions (people do dumb things in stressful situations, could be coerced), picture/video (becoming increasingly easy to fake, can be taken out of context).

As a result, when looking at rape cases (like with other crimes), we use degrees of certainty and corroborate multiple sources of evidence. The legal system in the US requires "beyond a reasonable doubt", not "100% certain" - because the latter is impossible.

The Mongols held theological debates, for various reasons. It was a novel thing in that place at the time. Political reasons, cultural reasons, and pure curiosity from Genghis and subsequent leaders. The Mughal (term derived from mongol, although they had a tenuous relationship) leader Akbar did similar things about 300 years later.

I recommend reading Genghis Khan and the Quest for God if you want further information.

Abstinence is the only answer _with an ironclad guarantee_.

Fundamentally, sex requires trust and analog communication over a connection either physical or verbal.
I’m not disagreeing. The use case still exists.

If another invention comes along that incentivizes the reduction of fraud through a distributed ledger AND has value, well, I’ll jump on that train too.

Nothing.

I've tried to learn about it but I don't know where to start. All the information I find is superficial, aka useless.

The only thing I know with a certain degree of certainty is that I should reduce my meat consumption and I'm trying to apply it. Other than that, there's nothing I can take to the bank. The whole recycling thing seems at first sight like a fraud, but I'm not sure because I don't know how to learn more, so maybe it's not a fraud. Who knows? Only the experts. Who do we trust as experts? I don't know.

I wish there was a similar equivalent for video editing. I tried vinci but it crashed the first time I tried it.

Avidemux is nice, but I can hardly add text or do simple effect with it, maybe with some scripting?

The new windows video editor is pretty good too, but features are quite limited.

I have some nice ideas for /r/highqualitygifs but I really don't want to use a professional video editor.

There are libraries to decode and render video with sfml and sdl, and i guess I could easily build a tailored editor myself with adequate ffmpeg commands...

Who's talking about after the fact? You can consent to sex, then change your mind in the course of things. Maybe you just stop wanting to have sex, maybe your partner starts going into territory you're uncomfortable with, doesn't really matter. An app where you give consent beforehand can't handle real life.
IMHO there's a strong political element to this. The EU and the UK are at loggerheads. The EU is upset that they couldn't secure enough vaccines quickly enough, and they sometimes think the UK jumped the queue.

It's also about money. Why not divert the funds to vaccines manufactured in the EU? The Pfizer vaccines are made in Germany and Belgium. BioNTech is in Mainz in Germany.

Further up the supply chains, both Moderna and BioNTech get a lot of material from within the EU. Companies like Lonza AG and several others benefit if the EU chooses these vaccines over the Oxford/AZ one.
False accusations work just fine despite your abstinence. If the other person is lying about consent, what's stopping them from lying about the sex too?
> If you reduce this down to the fundamental tension: either we have to ask women to become dramatically more vigilant and accept some nonzero risk of rape (more or less what we implicitly do already) OR we have to increase the likelihood of wrongful convictions.

There's a third way, but perhaps equally unappetizing: record all interactions.

That is the end state of Fascism that Fascists aim to achieve, but Fascists are still fascists even if they have not yet achieved it.

The first move in the Fascists playbook is destabilising and de-legitimising democracy. Suppression of dissent and centralising nationalist and unilateralist economic policies can only really come after the consolidation of centralised power.

Have we seen recent attempts to de-legitimise the democratic process in the US? Perhaps by someone willing to use state security forces to interfere in state policing of protests and escalate and provoke violence? Perhaps by a charismatic figure holding mass rallies in front of adoring worshipers of a cult of personality? Perhaps by someone encouraging militias and engaging in race baiting and nationalist unilateralism?

That's the playbook, but it starts with attacks on the democratic process. It's the key to everything else.
>Frankly, though, I think a more conservative society which treats sex with a lot more respect than the current shit-show, is definitely in order.

Nope, you can still be falsely accused of almost anything.

Or perhaps it is you who doesn't understand the word 'abstain'. If your partner changes mind mid-act, of course you stop - that is abstaining from further activity.

The point is, this is precisely the kind of confusion to avoid by maintaining abstinence as your primary mindset.

It is the only way to be sure: abstain at all costs, even if you were given consent, because that consent is not immutable.

"This is an offensively wrong statement and suggests an extremely privileged and out-of-touch upbringing. There are numerous - hundreds - of articles explaining in-depth why it's very expensive to be poor in the US."

Nobody says it is not "expensive to be poor". But it is idiotic to claim it is impossible to escape poverty. Billions of people have done so in the last century.

"It really sounds like you're suggesting that someone in poverty should be willing to work for below minimum wage for 200 hours (5 weeks of full-time work) to save $1000 to "invest" on Kazakh emoji domain names? I would typically assume I'm misunderstanding someone since that's such an incredibly asinine comment, but given the first half of the comment I have to wonder if that's what you actually mean."

No, your interpretation is asinine. However, if you believe "emoji domains" or whatever have a shot at becoming a viable business, doing that is an option. Personally I would suggest trying to find a better paying job first. But if you can't, what would you suggest? Vote Democrat and hope for a minimum wage law, which will then make you lose your job?

Obviously, if you don't believe in the emoji business, don't invest in it. Find something else to invest in.

The world hasn't changed. The way you consume media did.

Here's a thought exercise: treat every news article that talks about "proposal" or "suggestion" as a low-quality personal blog. Or even better: treat everything on the Internet as false and trust only what you have seen in real life.

The world becomes more clear when you realise that flat earthers don't really exist.

The "drug crimes per interaction" rate doesn't work for this case either, if the number of interactions is just too low. And if you look at real numbers, in the US, for example, we're talking a difference in the order of two magnitudes.

So if any person has a 10% chance to carry an illegal drug and you search 100 black dudes and 1 white dude, chances are your drug crimes per interaction will be 0 with the white dude and about 10% with the black dudes.

Now add to that, that the white dude is much more likely to get off with a warning that's not committed to protocol and there we are.

While this is technically true, it's important to note that modern criminal justice systems are designed to minimize the likelihood of false convictions at the expense of increasing the likelihood of false acquittals.
