I love the way Internet cos, led by Facebook and now Google are progressively conditioning us to different interpretations of online privacy.

First it was "Like or +1" anything you like. Don't worry, it's all private.

Then it was, everytime you "like or +1" something, we'll tell all your "friends".

Soon, the definition of friends was enlarged to mean "people who you may know or are in some circles", effectively broadcasting your "likes and +1s" to tens of thousands of people.

Finally our "likes and +1s" are now considered public endorsements, and fair game for being portrayed as advertisements (minus any compensation to us of course).

I stopped using Facebook "likes" a year back, and deleted my Facebook account a few months ago. As for Google+, I signed up briefly when it launched but then promptly closed it. I've never +1-ed anything, and never will.
Can you cite any BI proponents who explicitly say that it shouldn't replace existing benefits programmes? Speaking for myself -- and every other BI activist I've ever read or heard of -- I certainly think that it should replace the vast majority of existing benefits, as well as minimum wage.
In a world where everyone is famous to 15 people on their news feed google plus etc. Now everyone can do what celebrities do and endorse products. But we get to not get compensated. If someone famous had this happen to them it would be a clear violation of their rights to publicity. The law needs to be updated so this applies to everyone.

Given her (and the two other) accounts, this absolutely was sexual battery. A drunk, intimidated, or otherwise incapacitated victim does not give an attacker free reign to do whatever they feel like doing. Drunkenness on the attacker's part is not a defense.

If you start touching someone like this, it is not their job to stop you. It is your job to be, beyond a shadow of a doubt, positive that the touch is welcomed. If you are a grabby drunk, don't get drunk.

This is common sense. It is also the law.

I cannot even fathom how he could possibly have a case for libel. We have three accounts, largely the same, as to the facts of the matter. Her account must be a lie (substantially, not in details) for libel to even be a possibility.

Nor can I understand the sentiment that his lost job is somehow recompense for the act. It is just a job, not jail time.

It is so terrible that this happened. To heap these sorts of reactions on top of it all is very deeply disappointing.

>walls of text everywhere trying to examine the situation and blame those involved

You guys have to deal with it that she voluntarily lied down on a bar, induced by alcohol with other men around her and OFFERED her body to be licked. In which universe did she saw an expected outcome of not being approached with a sexual tone? They were drinking the entire night and all those geeky guys normally filled with anxiety completely loose up with one of the other sex they have been around with for quite some time and then all of a sudden this woman lies down on a bar, peels her shirt up and pours a drink on her body whilst having a boy friend?

She must have at least expected something, no? She was not raped or "sexually assaulted", she had intimate contact which she knowingly was building up to the entire night and she could have very well contracted her back muscles and got off that bar when she saw her boss approaching. In fact, why did she even get on that bar when she was fully aware of the context? A body shot, really?
Aren't you misinterpreting the effect of +1? +1 makes publicly available the fact that you like something, so you are saying "I want to share with the world that I like this thing"
Let's not forget how easy it is to accidentally click those fucking buttons too which are everywhere
The women in this article assume they can read minds and divine intentions from a very sparse base of facts. To jump to the conclusion that those who chose not to do business with you are seeking to enforce the 'Old Boys Club' (when in fact they were strangers, who were forming a new 'club', or business) and keep women out, is outrageously disrespectful and malicious.
> sexually assaulting people

The problem is that what is considered "sexually assaulting people" is relative to one's culture, education, religion, etc.

In ancient China just the bare foot of a girl was the most intimate thing you could imagine, something a husband will never get from his wife. In Tang dynasty apparently showing breasts was considered normal.

Right now in France saying "my dear" (ma chérie) when addressing to a colleague is a bit borderline but "you look pretty today" is ok (while not 100% innocent). Maybe it is the opposite in the US?

There is also this story (is it true?) of African students coming to France in the 70ties and raping girls who accepted to come to their room: in their original culture a girl who accept to go the room of a boy already accepted to make love, and the "no! please, no!" thing is a gameplay.

Not to talk about how things are in Japan...

I am not sure the current most common definition of the limit between laughing together and "sexual assault" in the USA is the best one and should be used as a worldwide norm. I would bet against it actually.

"Testimony from a witness is always subjective..."

I guess what i am trying to say is that they are drawing conclusions of what they saw, not just stating the facts of what they saw.

"...this isn't a criminal trial"

This is my point, we have no right to judge his guilt or innocence without a proper investigation and a trial based on this investigation.

"That 1am / midnight shit... really?"

I think it just shows that witnesses aren't necessarily a reliable form of evidence.

My point is that presumed innocence until proven otherwise is important. These kind of blog posts can help create awareness and allow us to discuss such situations but with regards to the actual event, we should refrain from judgment, as difficult as that is, because anything could have happened or not happened. Trial by social media is not okay.
Neither of those cases are the situation in which "stealing an idea" comes up. Both projects were launched in public. As soon as any "idea" is proven to be successful in the market, competitors will arise.

In fact, it is a good argument for not being overly secretive or demanding a 10-page NDA. As soon as you launch, your idea is public anyway, and you are better off telling about it to advisors/investors/developers to give you a better chance at succeeding.
Your evil, sinister plans - Oh Devil (Google)!
Just because she consented to the shot part does NOT mean she was offering anything else.

Die in a fucking fire, you victim blaming moronic waste of fucking skin. Or at the very least get the fuck out of my fucking industry so you stop giving those of us with a penis and a clue a bad name.

Fuck you.
It's not that bad once you read into it. It's not bad at all. Google displays my recommendations to my friends, and since I only really like/+1 things I would recommend, it seems natural, and maybe even convenient.

Unfortunately, the crux of the issue may lie in consumer protections. While you and I may know exactly what we're endorsing, the average consumer probably does not. The average consumer probably also does not understand that their friends also do not. Otherwise, we wouldn't see so many "FREE $500 COSTCO GIFTCARD - CLICK HERE" posts on Facebook.

TL;DR: While I haven't formed a cohesive opinion about this, the problem with endorsements lies in the average case--not in the best case.
I hear what you are saying and it sound reasonable... but I just cannot imagine myself asking that question in that situation. Wine, candles, excitement of 'the first time with her' and tenderness... and suddenly I hear myself saying 'can I stick my hand into your panties?'

Talk about a mood-killer. Please try to imagine it. If your proposal gets traction I will probably never have sex again. It's a good thing I do not live in the US - I am afraid they will need signed contracts for that. I am sorry but I really think we are solving the wrong problem here - this is not going to save the victims but it might ruin something very precious. Am I being over-sensitive?
I simply can't understand how smart people on their own will gather around with the only purpose of ingesting chemical compounds that are designed to make them stupid.
His hand was down her pants in public... we are way passed the fuzzy moral lines. This is certainly sexual assault and I'm not sure how one can argue that she is responsible for making it clear by some unwritten protocol that all people understand rather than have it be understood that you have the burden and responsibility to not sexually harass people.

My comment wasn't in the spirit of cold argument at all. I found Confusion's comment genuinely offensive. And yes, overly intellectualizing.

edit: I don't care about cynicalkane's comment enough to puzzle out what he means. No offense to cynicalkane intended. :)
It's different for different people. I know many people end up having to somehow internally confront and process things that happened to them that they had previously deferred.

I don't really think a queue is the right mental model. If you suffer trauma and choose not to feel, but indeed have memory, you must continue to be just as committed to choosing not to feel for as long as you remember. Failing that, you will eventually have emotions about the trauma at some point. I don't think people are very good at keeping those types of defenses in place for years upon years.

Eastern block countries had nothing but a basic job, i.e. no private sector. I'm not advocating this.

I also don't don't propose that the basic job should pay well at all - the pay should be well below market so you always have an incentive to get a real job.

Not being able to use 'Do no Evil' software does not "cost" somebody who cannot use it anything. There is no "charge" going on there, nothing is being taken from them. Crockford has "cost" anybody shit. He has only chosen not to give them something on a silver platter. If Crockford is not involved in any sort of transaction, then he is not responsible for any costs incurred during tenuously related translations between other parties.

Some developer that cannot be bothered to read and understand a license does not somehow mean that Crockford is "costing" them anything. These hypothetical people fucked up, and they should fucking responsibility for themselves for god's sake. What a pathetic dodge.

Do you also think that NASA has "cost" the North Korean space program anything by not freely giving away rocket designs? Entitled to the absurd.
That's a lot of ad hominem we got there. You may want to slow down a bit and take things easy.

>Just because she consented to the shot part does NOT mean she was offering anything else

"A body shot is a shot of alcohol (such as tequila) that is consumed from a person's body, usually from erogenous zones such as the navel or the breasts." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_play#Alcohol)

Reading further:

"An erogenous zone (from Greek ἔρως eros "love" and English -genous "producing" from Greek -γενής -genes "born") is an area of the human body that has heightened sensitivity, the stimulation of which may result in the production of sexual fantasies, sexual arousal and orgasm." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erogenous_zone)

Please take note of the part involving "sexual fantasies, sexual arousal and orgasm". She peeled her shirt up in a submissive position on a bar with lots of alcohol involved. Which part are you missing?
I am unable to understand how a long post about how "societal expectations makes the suffering of the victims even worse than it might otherwise be" is anything except sympathetic towards the victim.

I think it would be best to de-emphasize the question of blame altogether and have an unprejudiced discussion about how such incidents can be prevented in the future (and great kudos to Justine for trying just that).

The terrifying thing about this is that in the area of sexuality the difference between an exciting, enjoyable experience and a terrifying, traumatizing one can be entirely in the mind of one party and not necessarity noticeable to the other party while it's happening. Especially if both are drunk.

And most women fully expect men to be bold and take the initiative while they themselves give vague signals that are easy to misinterpret. And all of this is pretty much expected to happen while everyone involved is drunk because that removes inhibitions and that's what everyone wants.

A recipe for disasters like this, really.
The education market isn't magical.

You can make the same critique about any industry, but when we do so, the reality of the situation is that we are far better off with for-profit enterprises. As consumers, workers, and investors.

The government's complaint isn't that the for-profit enterprise is doing worse in comparison to some objective metric or an average of non-profit institutions.

It is merely that they don't like their advertising.

Would you like to provide some sort of evidence for this?

> more students, less staff and resources for them
I think that a person who agrees to a body shot expects that somebody drink a shot from their body, and then they get up, and then nothing directly happens as a result and they get to choose what happens next. I reject the notion that consenting to a body shot is equivalent to foreplay.
Can someone provide a one paragraph definition of the functional database?
Actually, that's what I was trying to say.

Word's review functions appear as pretty colored bubbles and a bunch of icons on the Ribbon. It's easy enough even for Humanities professors to use on a daily basis, despite the fact that as a VCS, it's strictly inferior to something like git. Actually, I think it's popular precisely because it ain't git. Most professors who are fluent in Word's review functions would be hopelessly lost when faced with a Dropbox conflict, let alone merging git repos.
Because, as a Muslim, I assume he doesn't drink. He was asking a fairly legitimate question, which is why is alcohol so closely associated with the tech scene?

My answer to him is that alcohol often helps folks loosen up. It's great, and fun, but only when you take it in reasonable moderation.
I don't know about you but I'm a believer in innocent until proven guilty. In fact, I really don't care about the gender of the actors in this story at all. Every story has three sides, my side, your side and the facts. Right now, we have a blog post that describe a retroactive account of what happened to the author a long time ago and all the misfortunes of their life since then, attributed to that one incident long ago. This is hardly a balanced account. We don't have the side of the counter-party to this incident nor do we have eye witness accounts of what happened. So insofar as you, I and the rest of the Internet are concerned, none of us have any business passing judgement on the author, the counter-party or those present at the incident. As such I'd say, that the author shouldn't post this publicly, unless they are open to and comfortable with the idea that the counter-party and all others involved may now post additional details about what happened that evening in an effort to help us, the audience, ascertain the facts. That is hardly the path towards psychological healing.

I for one am pretty certain that there are elements of truthiness and untruthiness in the original posting. I'd expect similar elements of truthiness and untruthiness in a rebuttal by the counter-party as well. Both were drinking and both will be advocates of their recollection of what happened. Such is the nature of points of view and interpretation of past events

Exactly. Reviews do more good. Than harm.

- Reviews have helped me a lot in choosing better products and services thus saving time. I always search for reviews in Amazon, Flipkart and in Google before I make a buying decision.

- And a Social graph on top of reviews = win. Social reviews means, better buying decisions.

Social reviews will only help Internet community move forward!

- Lets not forget that — Google has the most Credible accounts(read-as verified) so this keeps reviews - real, unbiased and the data credible.

But, they should make sure that - they show updated reviews, not stale ones!

A Product review might remain the same(phone review), but a Service review(restaurant) might change over-time.

Finally, I wish good products and services for myself. And with social reviews, we are only helping each-other in a better and safer Internet experience.
to everything bad that happens - the most beneficial thing to do is say "big deal, life moves on". On the case of sexual assault, it is politically incorrect to say it, and you will be considered a pro-rape chovinist ape.

Even taking everything she wrote at face value, I think she has made decisions that will make her own recovery more difficult than necessary.

Bad things happen to everyone. Often much worse than this. It is the nature of life, and underscores just how little we all really control. What we do control is how we handle ourselves in the face this adversity.

Language is always important. It is crystallized thought, and bad language creates bad thinking.
Home Edition: "People are familiar with using Office at work, so they'll probably want to use Office as well when it's time to design that Garage Sale flyer."

Student Edition: "Give them Office now at a discount, and they'll keep using (more expensive versions of) Office when they get a real job."

Office is named Office for a reason. Its entire existence revolves around the typical 20th-century white-collar office. All other use cases are secondary.

You seem to confuse the real world with your imagination.
I've also noticed that people on the internet usually react to a woman's claim of assault or rape with skepticism and disbelief.

Even in this thread, there seems to be a lot of empathy for the alleged attacker -- whose story we haven't heard -- and far too little for the victim. We know what she says happened, we know it's been corroborated by two witnesses, and we know the resulting trauma it's caused her, so why are so many people feeling sorry him and not her?

Codex Seraphinianus: A new edition of the strangest book
Off the top of my head, order in CSS is only important when a property is defined multiple times for a given selector, either within the same block or in separate ones. Like these examples:

.foo {
font-size: 12px;
font-size: 14px; // later property wins
}

.bar {
font-size: 12px;
}

.bar, .baz {
font-size: 14px; // later property wins
}

And I don't see a way to generate either of those cases only using object literals in this library.
