>Well, the only thing I can say is that I'm glad I live in Europe, where people are still normal and not yet so frigid/distrustful that they need to talk about everything before they do it.

Fortunately, it's like that in the U.S. too for most people. There is a very vocal minority here that is making things way more complicated than they actually are in real life. This was my favorite quote from the person you're responding to:

>I'm in a committed, long-term relationship now, and I still ask her regularly if I'm not sure if she wants to.

This is unbelievable to me. I think the typical woman confronted with this behavior would look for a new boyfriend - one that isn't so amazingly timid. As a married person I can't imagine asking my wife "regularly" for permission to have sex. I know her signals, she knows my signals and if either of us put out a signal the other person isn't up for we volunteer, "Not tonight" and that's the end of it.

To imply that to not receive explicit verbal affirmative permission is equal to rape is unbelievably insulting and delusional.
I'm surprised that anyone can get a trademark on "Around the World in 80 Xs." I would think that you'd have to get "Around the World in 80 Dishes with Slavko Slobovich" or "John Johnson's Around the World in 80 Trees." Maybe changing the number of Xs or going "Around the Channel Islands" or something.

I would think anything built on the bare single variable snowclone would be too cliche to be exclusive.

So many GUI libraries do this and it's always frustrating. If you're a GUI library, when I get to your website, the first thing I see should be a screenshot.
You don't need to run all of the exit nodes. If a group controls even 10% of the exit node bandwidth, then they have access to 10% of the traffic and can do major analysis. Even if you use end to end encryption (as in https), than with 10% of the endnote bandwidth, they would see the entry and exit of 1% of all packets, and can (probably) correlate them (with timing) to associate the incoming and outgoing. And if you use tor regularly, then every time either your entry or exit node changes, they get another 1% dice roll.
From Wikipedia: "Censorship is the suppression of speech or other public communication which may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or inconvenient as determined by a government, media outlet, or other controlling body."

Kickstarter exercising their control to restrict the publication of this material meets the clinical definition of censorship, even though they aren't the government. Again, I'm not saying that it wasn't within their rights to do so; it was, but being within their right doesn't make it something else.

You are right, however. I misread the statement that the project was defunded as that the moneys had been returned. The statement that they make though, at least to me, indicates that they would have defunded the project if they hadn't missed the window.

If that was their intent, I am no less saddened by it. If their actual intent was to miss the window on purpose, and then issue this apology, I am no less saddened by it.

>Ignoring the fact that the status of women as property was a literal and legal fact for thousands of years

No, it wasn't. You are deliberately conflating the life of some women to that of women period. It would be every bit as absurd and dishonest to claim that "the status of men as property was a literal and legal fact for thousands of years" because some men were slaves.

> By my privilege, I owe a moral debt to those murdered, enslaved, and terrorized people, and if it cannot be repaid it should at least be atoned for.

Yes, I know that your beliefs are hilarious. I am not suggesting that I do not understand them, but rather that they are in fact ridiculous. You can not atone for someone else's actions, and even if you could, being a whiney, hypersensitive bully on the internet is not atoning for anything.

Let's think this further. Witness reports on Hastings are saying that the car was extremely speeding and going through red lights [1]. How about modifying a car so that as soon as it reaches 50m/ph a) goes to maximum speed and b) deactivates its brakes.

The driver will instinctively try to control the car as good as possible. But ultimately it will crash against something. Through the high stress situation chances are that there is relatively little chances of communication possible except that something is wrong with the car.

Any other wild speculations?

The problem I have with attitudes like this is that you're completely disregarding other people's opinions because you're not offended. If you're not part of the group being discriminated against then of course you're not offended - but that doesn't mean that people who do find it sexiest, discriminatory, offensive and oppressive have any less of a valid opinion. In fact I'd argue that it makes their opinion more valid. it's not hard just not to be an arsehole to other people.

quote's context, right?

Exactly. I highly recommend anyone that disagrees or doesn't believe this statement to watch the interviews commonly found at the end of any BDSM kink.com videos. Those interviews at the end are enlightening for anyone with a narrow vanilla view of how sex should be. Different sexual practices and preferences are really no different than the spectrum of music preferences out there and equally valid.
Or anywhere in the public for that matter.
I don't disagree that being able to talk openly about these things is good.

I assert, though, that the climate today makes it very treacherous to do so--and that even if it didn't, there still is a chicken-and-egg problem in learning how to do it. Vocaroo and similar services seem to be a starting point for folks these days.

Honestly it isn't something you just know how to do (especially if you are prone to over-analysis of your actions), and the chance of making a lot of trouble for yourself is non-trivial.

I can understand why it appears this way from outside, but we've never been moving faster than we are now.

I have been on board for about six months, and in that time we have rolled out lots of usability and layout improvements: streamlined sign-up process, a new anonymous homepage, a consolidated and curated help center, completely rewritten search, new badges page, upcoming new privileges page...

In the next couple of months, we will be finishing sitewide SSL, redesigns of our more high-traffic pages, and a complete re-factor around closing to make that process more clear.

Stay tuned, because I'm excited about where we're headed.

Please HN, let's be sensible about the bees. This is maybe the tenth story about bees I've seen hit the front page in the last couple of months. People seem to be absorbing the alarmist and unfounded opinion that we know what's causing CCD.

Truth is, we simply don't know what's causing it. There are many possibilities, and there are hundreds of research groups working on it. It has been shown that some pesticides do affect bees. But it has also been shown that various diseases as well as beekeeping practices have large effects.

CCD is complex, and a sky news story about a single incident of a bunch of bees dying is no reason to start jumping to conclusions. It's interesting, sure, but don't assume it tells us anything about CCD.

I've actually computed a PageRank vector for all articles in Wikipedia. If you are interested, Coursera is about 0.0013% of Harvard which would put it very close to the bottom of the ranking.

"No doubt in your mind that..." != "It is true that..."

This is the problem with your argument. I'll admit it, I don't explicitly "ask consent" and there have been times where there was "no doubt in my mind", and yet, I was rejected. :(

But if I was rejected, then I've clearly committed sexual assault in the most strict sense.

It's called "misreading a situation". You may think something is enthusiastic consent, but it isn't. Hence, why I will continue to ignore your advice and "live dangerously" by attempting to interpret the situation and predict the other partner's desires by other subjective and unreliable means such as body language and the nebulous concept of "where we are in our relationship".
> It's denominated in USD already, so increases in USD should be priced in.

No, as explained in the other comment.

> Also, Silk Road has become a small part of bitcoin transactions.

Citation? Also, I was using Silk Road as an example; any transaction which is denominated in USD and simply uses bitcoin as a proxy would further this phenomena. Many places that "accept" bitcoin only do so temporarily. They immediately convert any received bitcoins into USD. The EFF is one such example [1].

This is my understanding. Greenwald has also been letting politicians say one thing for just long enough before he publishes documents to the contrary. Or, in the case of the most recent leak, confirming what politicians have said about storing data for 5 years, but including more information about how analysts choose targets, which has not been officially disclosed.
haha indeed. I've been using it for camping/backpacking for as long as I could remember.
CloudI and Erlang underneath are focused on soft real-time. For hard real-time (embedded) you need tighter integration with hardware. While it is true that people attempt to pursue (soft) real-time fault-tolerance on the JVM, the point in the CloudI article is that the pursuit does not achieve fault-tolerance which can be considered real-time, simply due to the JVM garbage collection which must interrupt real-time processing of an Actor model. This problem isn't often discussed, but is a simple way of showing the problems with fault-tolerance on the JVM. Without the JVM supporting fault-tolerance, the effort to have decent (real-time) fault-tolerance would be similar to creating a new VM. Since creating a VM is difficult to do properly, and testing is required after its completion, it makes much more sense to use the Erlang VM since it has native real-time fault-tolerance that is already used in commercial products.
I'm not sure if this data can withstand scrutiny just yet but I do think it might be an interesting hypothesis because aren't all currencies and markets are intrinsically linked?

Also, because of that wouldn't it be reasonable to say that all currencies are therefore linked to the current price of oil due to the petrodollar controlling most payments for oil, and in turn all currencies would possibly follow the same price curves? I'd be interested to see a third data point, the price of oil, on the chart.
Sounds nice, I will give it a try
> If you’ve been making out, fondling, and fingering her for a while, asking her if she wants to have sex is going to make you seem obtuse.

Consent to mutual masturbation is not consent to intercourse. If things are really going that well, asking her if she wants to have sex should elicit an enthusiastic "YES!"

But sometimes it does not, and in those situations my desire not to seem obtuse is overpowered by my desire to not rape people.

>She displayed the TV-portrayed signs of drowning after jumping off the diving board with no idea how to swim. Probably due to the adrenaline rush, the rescue is a bit fuzzy, but that's where the lifeguard training kicks in.

My guess is that the reason was that she was not drowning yet. She probably would have if you hadn't saved her, but in her case she had a few pre-drowning moments in which to react. The difference would be that she consciously knew that she was screwed as soon as she was in the water, since she didn't know how to swim.
> In fact, every woman I've talked to about the subject has told me that it's specifically unwanted.

Is it so hard to believe that a woman (or man) may be uncomfortable expressly saying "No" in a given circumstance? Just because you have anecdotal evidence about woman you have talked to does not mean that we should adopt practices that those woman would like the most.

If 1 in 100, 1,000, or even 10,000 people do not like forward advances and feel paralyzed to say no in such circumstances, we should ask for consent because otherwise 1 in however many thousand times it would be rape or assault.

Shockingly, the correct course of action may not actually optimize people's chances of picking up women or men. Yet a culture of rape is a far greater price to pay than having a little more trouble getting dates or having sex. You might, in fact, actually have to ask someone, before touching them or 'shoving your penis in their vagina'.

I think the business model needs to mimic that of the BetterPlace idea: Users of battery swapping stations pay a monthly fee, and the battery is seen more as a commodity which is rented by the user, but owned by the company.

Coming back to get a battery is absurd, and should never happen.
"This was done under secret agreements with commercial companies, described in one document as 'intercept partners'. […] some companies have been paid for the cost of their co-operation and GCHQ went to great lengths to keep their names secret. They were assigned 'sensitive relationship teams' and staff were urged in one internal guidance paper to disguise the origin of 'special source' material in their reports for fear that the role of the companies as intercept partners would cause 'high-level political fallout'."

> The author advises his readers to assume that their partner consents to sexual activity.

And this is a direct misinterpretation of what the author said. The author states:

> From now on you must ASSUME that she is attracted to you and wants to be ravished.

There is a difference. The author says that you should assume the woman is attracted to you, not that she is consenting to sexual activity. It's pretty damn clear. He further states that if a girl says no at any point, you stop.

I don't see it as ignoring consent. If you're on a date with a girl and you hold her hand without asking her, that's not sexual assault or being an alpha bro. If you're having a lively conversation and touch her arm, that's not sexual assault or creepiness, it's being a human and engaging the person you're interacting with.

We all know douche bags that make girls uncomfortable and push the line. We all hate them. They've probably (almost definitely) never read this book. A book/guide like this isn't a bro factory, and won't do anything to an existing bro that a night out with another bro wouldn't do.

Should timid guys trying to seek a companion try to emulate some portion of it? Probably. Friend-zoning is big with timid guys because they never broach the physical bubble. If a nervous guy aims to emulate 100% of this advice they'll probably successfully emulate 20% of it.
