I am a hardware engineer with some decent math background, exploring algorithms with optical ppg data from fitness trackers (Photoplethysmogram, fancy word for the green flickering light in your fitbit) to extract features like respiration rate, blood pressure variation. There are several very challenging computation problems in this field of bio sensing.

I have built my own makeshift fitness tracker with bluetooth streaming capability and have been collecting data on myself for weeks now. Anyone from data science/machine learning side interested in collaborating?

> then the women need to be treated like children and protected.

Mate, no. This applies to men, women, nonbinary folks, non-human animals, etc. Literally any living thing. If you don't consent, anyone having sex with you is wrong. It's wrong if a man tries to have sex with a drunk, non-consenting person, and it's wrong if a women tries to have sex with a drunk, non-consenting person.

This is the _opposite_ of making a decision for someone. It's recognizing that they kind of _can't_ make a decision, so you simply do nothing.
How about a web extension that tells you to close your tabs if you have too many open?

Yup, that's fair for sure.

I thought the parent comment was speaking generally. Maybe I misunderstood.

Either way, I was thinking of downloading Droidscript as one way of saying "I want arbitrary code exec."

I think it's reasonable for Google to say "Most users don't understand what this implies, so if they want this they'll have to get it outside the Play Store."

That said, that doesn't actually seem to be what they're saying here.

I just think it's a reasonable stance to hold as an App Store.
There's a specific niche where this kind of technology makes quite good sense, although it looks like the current focus is primarily B2C.

With the sheer number of exploits against complex attack surface web browsers, I could see organisations using this to mostly eliminate use of the web browser locally. If you can get a trusted, audited provider to host remote cloud browser instances that ship with "always on" policy enforcement (ad blocking, site blocking, phishing filtering, data loss prevention etc.), you can move all web activity to another system in the cloud. You can erase and have new instances set up as needed (daily?).

Web browsing locally would then be restricted by firewalls to only work on high security local systems (which themselves are not pulling in any external dependencies) - you could eventually lock the local browser down to only speak to a very limited internal IP range.

While this won't work for risk taking internet-first organisations, there's governments and enterprise users who would love something like this, as it helps them reduce their risk exposure on client devices - as long as the remote video and input protocol is robust and memory safe, it starts to become incredibly difficult for a lot of attacks to succeed against their protected systems. This also potentially removes the need in some cases for people to carry 2 laptops - one for higher security activities, one for public internet level activities. If this software can be assured to a suitable level and isolated appropriately, it could be an interesting solution to a very boring problem!
Convincing herself it was consensual after doesn't mean she consented during.

What does consent mean to you? Not saying no? Or an enthusiastic yes?

How are these numbers even measurable?

> Less than 1% of rapes lead to felony convictions

We can measure the numerator here: it’s the number of felony rape convictions. But how do we measure the denominator? In some rape trials, the central question of fact is whether a rape occurred at all, or if the sexual encounter was consensual. If a rape trial leads to acquittal based on reasonable doubt over that question, is that alleged rape included in the denominator or not?

> Same article notes that between 2-8% of rape complaints are false.

So here’s a different question. If 2-8% of rape “complaints” are false, then clearly we aren’t counting these false accusations in the denominator for the 1% figure, are we? But what do we do with the cases we can’t determine with certainty either way?

One way of interpreting these numbers might be:

* 92-98% of rape accusations are not provably false.

* 1% of the remaining accusations are provably true. 1% of 98% is still roughly 1%, so we’ll round to 1% of all rape accusations are provably true.

* 91-97% of rape accusations can’t be proven.

Does this make sense? A 90% acquittal rate for rape cases? That seems way out of line with other criminal justice statistics. So at some point we’re including accusations that never even result in charges being filed due to lack of evidence, and possibly accusations that are never brought to the criminal justice system in the first place. In either case, this vast majority of cases is legally indeterminate: neither conclusively proven to be rapes committed by a specific suspect, nor conclusively proven to be false accusations.

"ft" is a common ligature. When characters are often used together, fonts are often designed with those characters grouped together as their own character so they can be given certain design flair such as having the "branches" of the "f" and "t" as one continuous horizontal line. Aside from "ft," "ll" (ell ell) also often gets this treatment and others I can't recall off the top of my head. Text rendering engines will then substitute the composite character with the ligature if the ligature exists in the font being used for display. So what might have been happening is that the text engine thought that an "ft" ligature existed for the font it was using to show your book and was trying to show it, but in fact it didn't exist. But who knows at the end of the day.

More information about ligatures can be found on the Internet.
Indeed. Despite all the 'evidence' (lying) in UN, and 'opinion shaping' by Angloamerican corporate media, US wasnt able to get a UN resolution to invade Iraq.

So it just went ahead and did it ILLEGALLY, through a 'coalition of the willing'. ie its satellites.

Any system that uses 'authoritative' sources would not only be gamed, but also the establishments would never let any opposing source have any authority to challenge the narrative of its own. A good example of this is how US is using the existence of conspiracy theories in social media as a means to pressure social media to remove not only conspiracy theories, but also any source which opposes US foreign policy.

~60 year independent anti-war outlets who function with reader donations, the outlets which opposed and exposed Vietnam war, other war crimes etc are labeled as 'conspiracy sites', 'Foreign propaganda' and lumped in with sites which propagate flat earth theories to get them pushed down in algorithms.

Then can you explain how “it’s time to teach our boys to become kind men” is relevant to the original discussion?
You are correct.

But the "no-hair theorem" that says that a black hole can be characterized using only 3 properties does not apply instantly, but only after some time of isolation.

For a small black hole the time is very short, but for a huge black hole that will not tear you apart it takes a long time. So even a classic huge black hole has more internal state that should be measurable from outside.
I agree.

And would only add that the US Covid disaster is what happens when rich people here do nothing.

The author highlights the importance of segregating the rich from the poor, financially/socially, to sustain these types of tragedies.

I appreciate that he called out the "moral malnutrition" of the comfortable, but especially the upper class/caste.

Sometimes, a disaster playing out in real time on tv (or, at least Youtube) is actually a disaster, and requires addressing.

It's tough for America to preach right now given that it seems like we have police killing black men, including kids, every single day -- which is not, unfortunately, hyperbole.

But they are disasters. We don't need to excuse them away, and say well a lot more black kids got killed by covid than cops.

In the United States, sexual assault includes coercion:

Sexual assault covers a wide range of unwanted behaviors—up to but not including penetration—that are attempted or completed against a victim's will or when a victim cannot consent because of age, disability, or the influence of alcohol or drugs. Sexual assault may involve actual or threatened physical force, use of weapons, coercion, intimidation, or pressure and may include: ...

https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/overview-rape-and-sexual...

Sexual coercion is unwanted sexual activity that happens when you are pressured, tricked, threatened, or forced in a nonphysical way. Coercion can make you think you owe sex to someone. It might be from someone who has power over you, like a teacher, landlord, or a boss. No person is ever required to have sex with someone else.

it is most certainly prosecuted in Germany as I've indicated. I can't promise he'll get a conviction but he certainly would get his time in "U-Haft" given he presents a flight risk.

I agree that the chances of Pretty having the stomache to come after her with libel charges are remote. But if what she says is the truth then she shouldn't have anything to fear. She has people who said this happened to them too and others who saw things. It would all be very hard to ignore.

> What made Apple to order their iPhone production from a Chinese company was not the availability of relevant hardware elsewhere; certainly the US has it.

Um, the CNC machines that iPhone production uses are actually made in the US and shipped to China because the Chinese CNC machines can't handle the tolerance.

So, why is Apple shipping it there then?

Cheap labor is the answer.

And, why is Apple starting to ship production away from China?

Cheap labor is still the answer.

As we found out, the supply chains in China weren't that robust. You can put them wherever without a lot of problem and they take about 12 months to come up to speed. That's not very long at all in the manufacturing world.

Thanks for the clarification, I didn't know that.

So neither of them would classify, in this story?

So it was just two consenting adults, and the part about wine was... Flavor text, essentially? Unless she was saying she was unconscious and I missed it.

I thought the implication there was essentially that she couldn't give consent, which is a rape accusation - that's very serious. But it doesn't sound like either of them would pass the bar for inability to give consent?

Unless I read it wrong.

it's merely a symptom of not having enough opportunities to invest in. Their workforce (and many large software companies) is already too large for the amount of opportunity available. Even, world famous software engineers like Stevie yeggie had to eventually quit due to lack of impactful things to work on.

In the absence of any opportunity, all you can do is share buybacks or dividends, or maybe give out even more employee compensation.

Back in the day, there was an extension to ANSI control codes called ANSI Music[1]. It borrowed the musical notation from IBM-BASIC's (and GW-BASIC) 'PLAY' statement. The standalone ANSIPLAY would play them back, or with the Telimate terminal emulator it'd play in the background while you used a BBS.

The last version of ANSIPLAY[2] was 2.1 I believe.

I have 128GB in my desktop, which is the same amount of ram that our cluster compute nodes have. I use it for Python/pandas forecasting work.

The extra ram in my machine means I can work on the same datasets we use in prod locally, which is a huge productivity boost. Most of our developer time is actually spent building datasets. loading a random sample doesn’t really work when doing time series or spatial transforms and using a time or space limited subset makes description (graphs, maps) a chore. More ram is a huge productivity enabler when working with in memory tools like pandas.

> it's also strange to me that it takes months and consultation with a therapist to determine if you did or did not consent.

No, this is not strange at all. Psychology is a non-falsifiable "science" with foundational literature that is littered with reproducibility scandals.

Psychological therapists are roughly as scientific as tarot card readers, and this woman's therapist had a full three years of time to gaslight her memories.

It's certainly possible that Pretty did what he's accused of. But any time you hear "years" and "therapist" in the context of an abuse allegation, be skeptical. The entire field is pure charlatanry.

I can play devils advocate a bit on this topic, because sadly there's no real "rules" for being a parent other than "don't let your kid die".

I am lucky to have a mother who never hid the harsher realities of life from me; She taught me how to understand what "no" means, because it's easy for horny young boys growing up to hear "no" as "No, I want you to try harder" or "No, I am a good girl and I do not want to look like a slut by giving in", so, she said "no means no because the risk of hurting her is much higher than the reward of getting your way".

I don't want to blame the media for putting this in our heads, because it _is_ a real thing (that women are sometimes bashful and may expect men to be a bit more pushy to show that they are serious) but because it's so nuanced and difficult it's better to play it safe, because you really _need_ to be _looking_ for the nuance and looking out for clues they're not into it and I don't think people (especially men) understand that.

And even then it's not a given that we're taught to look for it; and even if we are: it takes time even if you _do_ look for it, it's MUCH better to play it safe.

Anyway, my point is, parents don't _necessarily_ teach men or women what consent actually means, the media doesn't help.

A good example, of course, is: Silence is not consent. Which is a very difficult concept to grasp given that it leads to weird thoughts about "it's not romantic to ask if she wants to have sex" but it's not just about not asking, it's about looking for non-verbal cues which could be easily missed if you're aroused.
