There were a handful of other people there who could have spoken up.

If you don't know who any of these people are, or how they know each other, it's hard to tell what's going on. Having said that, I'm all for banning gropers from meetups.
There is nothing illegal about repeatedly buying clothes, then returning. If I do that enough the store may bar me from the premises for being exceedingly annoying, but they certainly can't charge me with anything.
This looks really cool.

However, my first inclination was to close the tab because I didn't get it.

I love playing board games (Dominions, Pandemic, etc) and have always wanted to try D&D. Am I your target audience?

Then I found your value prop at the bottom of the page:

"Dungeon Masters Delight is a series of books that aims to collect useful hacks and tricks for the discerning dungeon master. It aims to fill in the gaps of literature concerning running and developing tabletop role playing games. "

Yep, that was my objective. I hope it helps someone, at some point. Goal was not to bitch aimlessly.
There are already a lot of forks of Bitcoin, some even moderately successful.

Actually independent of feminism I have long wondered if other cryptocoins might supersede Bitcoin exactly for the reason of fairness. Assume the world wakes up to Bitcoin in a couple of years. Then the BTC wealth will be very unequally distributed. Why should people start using BTC if they are poor in it? They could as well say "hey, cryptocurrencies are swell, but let's use another one were nobody had a headstart".

I guess part of dogecoins success story is that everybody got rich in dogecoin quickly (1 Million doges per minute). A lot of people who didn't like Bitcoin like dogecoin.

I get where you're coming from, but it's been my experience that unless the behavior crosses a significant line, it's best not to intervene without more information.
They 'might' do just about anything if you tell them to stop. (including stop)

The point is if you don't try, they have already shown what they plan to do. And in a group of people with two people you know some of the risk is mitigated.

Now I think she handled a bad situation quite politely, and she has no obligation to put effort into making that particular situation better.

However I believe that in making the blog post she is showing herself to be a person who both wants to and is brave enough to make the situation better. But as mentioned by the gp the people who read these types of blog posts are largely the type of people who believe we should treat everyone like a person. As such helping out further by informing the person or group of people of their unwelcome and in this case inappropriate behavior could further that goal of improving the situation for everyone.

Edit: I am a privileged white male who realizes I might have huge misconceptions about what it is exactly like to live as one who is treated with less privilege, so would welcome criticism of my view point. So if my above comment smacks of 'of course you think that you've never had to deal with....' I would like to know.

This topic is uncomfortable. When I suggest that maybe 11-year-old girls should have access to pornography, I feel like a fucking creep. But you know what? That doesn't make me wrong.

Often, it's the most obvious and deep-set assumptions that need to be challenged most. Above all, I'd appreciate it if you'd spend less time calling other people deranged, and more time civilly arguing your case.
From my other comment: If I was Bill I would've played a very passive game, shutting down the middle of the board as quickly as possible. Create as complex a middle game as possible, and let Carslen go all in on sacrifices or whatever he'd need to do to break the board open. Deny as many exchanges as possible, win on time.

Carlsen quickly realized Bill was a push over and started parking all his pieces on white's kingside as quickly as possible. Bill basically played as poorly as could be expected. To get mated in 9 moves means you've basically forced yourself to lose.
>What does encryption, proof of work algorithms or anything else have to do with one's likelihood of being gross towards women?

I think it's safe to say that the average Bitcoin user, today in this year 2014, only cares about getting rich quick by speculating on it and other cryptocurrencies and doesn't give a rat's ass about how the technology is implemented or what impact it might have on our future. Those are the people I'm stereotyping, not people (presumably) like our fellow Hacker News readers who see it for the fascinating and potentially century-defining idea it is.

Yes, based on experience on cryptocurrency forums and similar things, I have a negative stereotype ingrained in me of the kinds of people who are interested in get-rich-quick schemes and speculating on bubbles. Which is all Bitcoin is to most of its users: a get-rich-quick scheme.

Your website starts with two questions asked by customers, then claims it will take care of them for you by answering professionally. However it does not explain for those two examples, how they would be answered. Let's assume the answers are not as simple as "instructions on top of washer" and "look on google maps". How would you answer them?

Immediately becoming physical is a valid showing of sexual interest. If she wasn't interested, she should have stopped it immediately.

I've had it go both ways and end in sex, although never in a professional setting.

You can find the context by accessing the outer scope (parent comment(s)), you will also need to read the email.
Your rebuttals are making no sense at all. My criticism was of the copy in a puff piece on the Mac, in the context of the video provided. My original comment makes this clear it's about Macs when it talks of the targetting of the education and media markets in the western world. The Unices and Windows happily moved into non-western markets, and certainly targeted things other than education and media, such as business and gaming markets.

Your rebuttals on the other hand, seem to have retreated into a defence of personal computers in general. I didn't make a comment on that. I said that the -Mac- is not a -truly- -worldwide- -democratisation- when it came to enabling creativity. Those were the words used in the video, in the context of what the video was talking about.
This one raises a good point, especially if the girl is halfheartedly trying not to make a big deal of it, as this one described. It might be tough to spot for a crowd of people practically defined by their inability to detect nonverbal social cues.
At the hug, she says "Sorry, we've only just met." And removes herself from it if it lingers. If he makes a joke about getting to know her, she says "That's a bit creepy, aren't we here to talk Bitcoin?" And moves on.

At the hand on the thigh, remove it firmly, say with some volume "Please don't put your hand on my leg, it's inappropriate." Then stand up to move seats. If there are no seats, ask "Can someone spare some room down this (other) end of the table?"
I love XAMPP and I use it extensively for testing on a local machine. I wish they could bundle it with Ruby on Rails.
The event was in NYC not SF. SF / SV has its own share of problems but the one being discussed here isn't unique to SF or the U.S. Though I do wonder how the U.S. rank in terms of % of women in STEM majors or STEM careers.

Also the issue here has something to do with bitcoin attracting early adopters and groups with certain political preferences. I certainly wouldn't call the bitcoin subculture mainstream yet.
Manage your own 20% at work. Depending on your environment (colleagues, management expectations, your personal levels of productivity), this can be doable. Not necessarily 20% (that's a lot), can be 10, or even 5, but that's still something.
I keep getting a lot of emails at my address (dsp559 [at] hotmail.com).
As a woman, what I hate is when I'm trying to be nice and proper and educational about telling people to back off and they use that as a springboard to go all "who, me?" or maybe "oh, okay" and then assume I'm a frigid bitch anyway instead of recognizing that they're the ones making a big mistake.

So nowadays I am of the shove the offending body part off and "get your hands off me" mindset because it doesn't really matter. I don't need to be nice about someone invading my personal space especially if I'm going to be known as a frigid bitch anyway. It's also not my problem to educate that person on basic human interaction no matter who they are and no, I refuse to accept stereotypes as an excuse for what they did. (I would expect no less if I were doing the same to someone else - minus the frigid bitch part.)

Regardless, the other problem with confronting something as it happens - that a lot of people here right now don't seem to recognize - is that sometimes you don't even fully realize what's going on until after it's happened or started. Either you're in shock, or you're not noticing how fast something escalated. You also might have no idea what to do because you're worried about the consequences (which range from physical force to losing your job and death threats and "frigid bitch" namecalling). It's not easy. I only wish it were, and I speak from a rather privileged perspective where I work for myself, don't care about what people say about me most of the time, and have a big, tall, hairy fiancé and a big, tall, intimidating roommate to back me up.
I wrote up a post [1] about running my own mail server a few months ago. I ran into issues with my emails being rejected by certain ISPs (AOL for instance) even though I (supposedly) had set up SPF and DKIM. Ended up moving to Outlook.com using my domain. Hope you have better luck!

I'm a developer, and I have the same rating fall in my apps too.
Re-scaling is good, as long as it is fair.
I have no problem with making it easier for unhappy users to vote, but I do have problem with a suggestion box which misleads at least some users to rate by mistake.
And I also have problem with Google surfacing apps deleted so long ago that the user has no chance to remember what it was. And once the user taps on any star, the rating is registered - no way for the user to correct a mistake or to explain a negative vote, so the dev could do something about it.

It's just Google being careless about the devs.
And it was a surprize for me to realize that. I thought better on Google before it started.
You can't just go around slapping people.
Dogster community is shutting down, export your content.
I find basically none of your assumptions to be accurate, or more importantly, I don't understand how it is useful to assert as a broad generalization. Certainly here in this thread.

It's just frustrating, I'm clearly outspoken against groping and misogyny, but then I get lazily lumped in with them because I also am a fledgling bitcoin fan? Stereotypes are just a good way to reduce a conversation to a nearly useless set of tropes and blur away the details of reality.

In this case, it's a distraction. The problem is the groping and the mentality that led to that guy touching her without her consent. Unless the crypto communities are fostering that, or something about the tech makes that prevalent, it just seems like a distraction. Right? Instead, now we're talking about Bitcoin... instead of a problem that spans ALL of tech, not just Bitcoin.
> But it strikes me as ironic that RMS talks about "freedom" when really he's advocating restricting your freedom to use the software.

It is ironic in a way, but it is only a valid criticism if you consider that you should have the freedom to restrict other peoples freedoms. This is generally considered to be immoral in modern society.
If you're okay having your outgoing mail go through another hop, something like mailgun.com has a free plan if you send less than 10k emails per month.
Great Question. Thank you.

When we answer our guests we either do it by phone and resolve their problem or question, or by message on email/airbnb platform. We find that our guests are very satisfied by the level of detail that we put on our answers.
For example our directions from the airport are a full page with both public transport options and prices and other more private options like shuttles and taxis.

Do NOT host at home.

For one, this violates every second provider's ToS, if not every single one.

For two, lots of providers block incoming SMTP connections on TCP/25. More importantly, they may start blocking it without notice and you'll have no clue that they did.

For three, you will most likely end up on a RBL (blacklist) in no time solely because you come from a "consumer" IP range.

I mean, hosting at home is technically simple, but in the end it created more problems that it solves. Get a hosted server and use it instead.

TechCrunch has provided a link to the person's resume... so much for privacy.
I remember my first encounter with a Macintosh.. it seemed so mystical and full of deep .. inner .. beauty .. compared to the machines I was used to (CP/M and hokey 8-bit boxen) at the time. The funky little mouse didn't really impress at first, but .. it seems I instantly forgot it, and it melted away. The fine dots .. the little 'bong' .. it was a real treat. It always seemed to have an air of dignified whimsy.
These things look like they're only equipped with radar; there is certainly no point in having them permanently stationed over the United States - I assume that Maryland is just where they're being tested before potential deployment.

Learning Time Management: Thoughts for Junior Researchers
Having the possibility to access something doesn't mean someone will go find it or come across it. The flip side of this is that the filter, by being imperfect, will probably block something non-pornographic that may be relevant to her as 11 is getting close to the age where solid, factual information about sex and development are helpful.

> Can you understand how that is different from "access to information"?

There is no difference. Access to undesire-able or icky information is no different from access to desire-able information when it comes to filter software, what is blocked is blocked.
completely agree. slapping someone is an invitation to get punched in the face and/or shoved down (both of which carry a serious risk of death or coma due to head trauma), regardless of if you're a woman or not.

this is the real world, not movies. many people (especially men) and animals retaliate automatically when attacked physically. it doesn't matter what gender the attacker is, there's a high chance you will get your ass beat if you assault a man, regardless of the context.

Which makes me wonder... did they just pulled a Murphy's, or are the services so unstable that they go down if no one's overlooking it? Maybe the services already go down multiple times a day, but the outage is short?
I think you are not acknowledging the difficulty of calling someone out on the spot. It is awkward, and puts a complete stop to the actual, desired activity. It also puts the victim through two unwanted situations.

As others have also said, people in such situations are sometimes so surprised by the infraction that they are stunned, and at a loss for how to react. It may take them time after the event to process what happened and determine how they feel.

The reason that others in the thread have brought up blaming the victim is that you have not acknowledged these aspects of the situation.
I'm currently on a cross country DIY tour (I'm about to write a second blog post about it but here's the link anyways: http://housecallstour.com/)

I've lived in New England (CT and MA) my entire life (I'm 23). I've lived in the city (Boston) and in the suburbs (Guilford - a shoreline town near New Haven). I'm a musician, writer and a startup guy so I have friends and relationships in a variety of circles.

I'd say that the best way to experience the friendliest cities is by being a respectful and inquisitive outsider.

On this tour I've done very little prior research before arriving in any town outside of planning each day of travel to be 5 hours or less. I wanted to intentionally go in with no expectations outside of what people on the road have told me.

Everywhere I've gone I have managed to connect with complete strangers that have become friends. I think the best thing you can do as a foreigner in a city (I consider myself a foreigner even though I'm a United States citizen) is to be open to whatever comes at you. Opting to sit with two strangers that asked if I wanted to join them at a seafood spot in Shreveport, LA resulted in me hanging out with them all day learning about the city, local politics, craft beer, wildlife conservation/fracking and more. I could have just said, "no thanks" and I would have wandered around town by myself all day.

So this is a bit of a ramble but I guess the point is that I set out on this tour thinking I'd move to Austin afterwards. I still think I will but every place I've passed through so far other than Baltimore (far too violent) has been a place I would consider living - at least for a few months to try it out. The best way to find a "friendly city" which by your definition just seems to be one that you like the people in, is to travel all around and see what resonates.

Happy to tell you more about my travels. julian at bundio.com
I think that the point is less to change it than to report on the fact that it's (still) happening.

If she just told him off and he avoided her for the rest of the night, but otherwise she still felt as isolated and ogled, how would that change things? If she picked up a megaphone and shouted about how she needed to be treated with more respect, would she be? Or would everyone just think she was looking for attention.

The way she conducted herself makes sense to me, and while she was put off by the situation, she still got most of what she wanted to out of it. She didn't go to the bitcoin meetup to make a stand on her rights, she did it to talk about bitcoins. While there, she was put off by the way she was treated. Had she just made a scene about the way she was treated, maybe she wouldn't get to talk about bitcoins, maybe the people there would think "Oh, ok, this makes sense. Women don't really talk about bitcoins, she's not here because she is interested in bitcoins, she's one of those feminists. I get it now."

Her blog post is just a way of expressing "Hey, I experienced some uncomfortable situations at a bitcoin meetup because I was one of two women in a sea of men who didn't take me seriously."

The thing is, it's not her responsibility to fix it. Sure, there's things that she can do, but when men go to a bitcoin meetup, they don't go there to argue for men's rights, they go to talk about bitcoins. She can't reasonably do both, and the only way women can get into bitcoins is if they talk about bitcoins. If they have to defend their gender position instead, they don't have much opportunity to do that.

The way to fix it is to support your female friends who are interested in these things to continue to be interested in them. To go with them, whether you're a guy or a girl yourself, to give them support when they are learning about them. To not make a big deal about the fact that they're a woman and you like these things. Instead spend your time just collaborating on those things that they're interested in.

The only real way it will change is when people start to see it as not unusual. The only way for it to become not unusual is for more women in general to get interested. If women are getting turned off these things by weird guys and sexist comments (which come about because culturally not many women participate in these topics), then you can either try and stop every immature guy from saying something sexist about a women who does things that no other women do, or you can support more women when they want to do those things so that can get something out of it even when the weird guys bug them. Maybe with enough women interested it will no longer be something that seems surprising.
