What good does it do to speak to her claims? Seems better to just ignore them and move on if they really are, "patently false." Had he said nothing, I wouldn't have any suspicion that he was a rapist, but now... I have to wonder.

I have seen conflicting reports regarding the environmental impact of cloth vs disposable diapers

Me too. At least a couple of studies mainly took into account the amount of energy used for production vs washing. That is basically nonsense as it discards the waste. So even if both came out equally regarding energy consumption (hereby properly considering the washing machines these days use way less energy and water, latter might even have been collected from rain) there is still waste left with one and not so much with the other. And plastic isn't exactly that easy to get rid of.

Also, I am somewhat skeptical of self-reported anecdata concerning "we do x and it causes no problems"

Which is exactly why I also pointed out that I do not take it for granted that it works for everyone. And obviously for you it doesn't work, at all. And I'm fine with that.
Thanks for the correction on the compression that's possible (and others who offered comprehensible work in the 1 kbps to 30 kbps range). I didn't know the SOTA so I went for what I as a consumer thought of for audio compression.

On the final point, agree. This is in the range where its cost is round off error in some of the large security budgets. (+ probably far more for the labor, ops, ect...)

That was one of the main reasons I worked through it, because it sounds like a horrifically large task, but its really not even that crazy in terms of data rates and storage when you break it down.
How long have you actually lived in Denver? Gardening in the high desert takes quite a lot of equipment and skill: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xeriscaping

Homebrewing is for nerds who miss the over-clocking watercool rigs of their counterstrike days. Skill and equipment, sure, but the equipment is on eBay and you never need to go outdoors.
I clicked on that link with no clue that it would be SO heavy.
Who are we inclined to believe in this situation; someone who has everything to lose (Max), or someone who has nothing to lose? Obviously I have no specific insight on this situation, but it just got me thinking that since rape is such a touchy subject to bring up, as was mentioned in the article, the girl who lived next to him could have easily fabricated this situation just for the attention, knowing full well that there would not be many questions asked. Just food for thought.

I'm sorry you have to go through this, and I think it's admirable that you do not want to get lawyers involved, but think of everyone in your position who doesn't have the means to properly defend themselves from something like this. I think it's important to make a point that falsely accusing someone of rape is never okay, and comes with its consequences.

Have fun at gX!
That is why I think there is more to the story. The smartest move would have been to quietly sue and not publish a blog about it.
Wouldn't be so sure. Domains hardly matter when you have an established brand already, and genius.com isn't exactly synonymous with music. And it's no guarantee either (look at alice.com failing)

Well, sure, they needed some code. But you could add it in small bits, like Excel, and gradually improve.

That's why accountants, etc., were able to use it. They aren't unable to code, they are unwilling to spend the time necessary to start from scratch each time.

Yup. Everyone has different needs from their code, an mine primarily needs to run on Linux despite often working on it in OS X. Ruby does that beautifully now. I can't see spending time on Swift until it runs across Unix flavors. That seems quite possible in principal since Swift relies on LLVM.

It sounds like this is kind of exactly what he doesn't want - to somehow represent or stand up for total strangers who were also accused of sexual assault. And I can see why.

If he sues her for libel what, exactly, does he get out of it? Ironically, he'd get a lot more attention than has already been paid to the topic. I doubt he wants that, either.
Seems fairly transparent: members of the team would like to make it open source closer to the release, but they haven't made a decision yet and will likely do so once the 1.0 release is complete.
I wonder if his lawyer advised him to publish a blog post about it too...
From the NSA and Snowden to Rape accusations on Facebook, we have (not will, have) entered a world where the old assumptions about secrecy, privacy have fallen away - like a Victorian London Fog blowing away to reveal everyone naked and wondering what to do now others can see.

We really have no landmarks in this new world - whilst I applaud attempts to put the NSA back under the constitution, they are merely a surprising symptom not a cause - everything we do in the digital world is now available for everyone everywhere and when to search.

We need laws, and more importantly cultural norms to deal with this.

I have no idea if rape occurred in this case all those years ago - but I do know that this will cease to be news when it becomes commonplace.

It is a new world, and we must be brave to find the promised land without drowning in the mess that will throw it forth.

Rant over
While this is definitely true, couldn't that just bring more unwanted attention to him in this situation? We see it with celebrities all the time; they go on trial for something, and the trial often gets so much media publicity that people forget if the person in question was even innocent or guilty in the end. They only remember to associate them with whatever the crime was. He doesn't want that, and maybe he doesn't want to give the accuser the satisfaction of tainting his reputation like that.
I fixed that issue with level 4. Anyone who wasn't able to get it should be able to now.
Why? The server already knows about the file, who created it, etc. Why would they need its contents?
how do you think social media can encourage in person connections?
You don't think there'd be retaliation for that? I haven't seen this story yet, but I bet "Creator of horrible and crass card game sues to shut up victim he raped" certainly sounds like the kind of thing I'd expect to hear from a newscast.

Right now it's a little thing. Defending himself could end up doing a Streisand effect and making it worse.

I totally agree.

"Additionally, I’m not wild about the precedent that sets for other women to come forward in cases of actual sexual assault."

Ummm.. what about the precedent OP is setting if he's letting her get away with it. Sometimes there's a nice decision and a smart decision to make. Unfortunately, OP chose the former.

If the server doesn't know that Computer 2 had the file earlier, it might re-send it when the upload is complete and it tries to sync other computers. Also, what if Computer 2 modified the contents?

Crowdfunding "campaigns" are getting ridiculous
Assuming this is true by not pursuing legal action he does two things which make the situation worse.

1) He is allowing someone to diminish the voices of those who have actually suffered rape and need justice. He is also giving ammunition to those who attempt to make the argument that most purported victims of rape are "crying wolf".

2) He makes himself look culpable. This kind of thing is serious and if he's in the right he needs to make it known. The damage to his reputation is already done.

By standing up for himself he'd also be standing up for real victims. Engaging this kind of thing in the legal courts and the court of public opinion can't be easy. I hope at least there can be some resolution.
The described issue is even simpler in shell scripting:

cat file1.txt file2.txt | tr A-Z a-z | sort | uniq > whitelist.txt

Does this mean people aren't going to move from shell scripting to other languages? No, it just means the task is particularly suited to scripting like this, and Python has affordances for scripting.
Before anyone else thought of it, Buffett developed a Homeostatic operation that collected insurance premiums and then invested that float in other companies...

That's exactly what I mean. Buffett is famous & successful for being a finance wizard. They are both businessmen, of course, but different sorts. At least, so it seems to me.
I find it interesting that someone comes along and says, "No one can have a proper dialogue about this here" which then leads to a response of "What you are doing is silencing the victim & being complicit in rape culture. So yeah, that IS you." which seems to directly prove his opinion that you cannot have proper dialogue about sensitive topics on Twitter.
Having been a man in college once, I concluded that the only sensible thing to do was to record every minute. Accusation of nearly anything can come out of nowhere. And self-surveillance is way more practical now than it was when I was in college.

I think there is a much more important feature in git for OpenBSD: cryptographic hashes of all commits that depend on the parent commit (=> cryptographically hashed history). Combine that with commit signing and detecting tampering gets easy. There are reported cases where this helped the Linux kernel project detect tampering.

Or have they implemented something like this on top of CVS?
Ten lines of Python? That's a one-liner in Perl, and not one of those over-long ones. So I'd be careful about using that as proof that your language is safe from encroachment.

Really, the time that people start posting "Why Language X Isn't Dying" is about the time you should consider freshening your tech skills to a new language, in my experience.

It depends how you work and how stable your product is. I think they are patch heavy i.e the CVS tree is used to apply patches to and that is that. CVS has some advantages then as you can pin individual file versions on a tag rather than having to fuck around merging things. Individual files might be ethernet drivers, scheduler etc because TBH the BSD codebase is a hell of a lot better decoupled and modular than most things out there.

CVS works because they didn't fuck it up.

> I’m not wild about the precedent that [suing for libel] sets for other women to come forward in cases of actual sexual assault.

Very, very, very few men have the wealth, fame, connections, and social media presence that Max has. He can defend his reputation; most men can't. He has to know this.

He is openly trying to set the precedent that suing over a very public false accusation is somehow anti-women. That's just gross.
That’s pretty wild. Sounds like your calls got flipped on the routing board somehow.
A terrible comment to make in a serious submission about a serious issue, but:

It's interesting that so many people who are internet-famous feminists seem to love Cards Against Humanity. Surely I'm seeing a pattern where there's only pure coincidence, but it caught my attention a while ago.
He is allowing someone to diminish the voices of those who have actually suffered rape and need justice.

He absolutely isn't. Many crimes like this rely on two opposing testimonies - what he said happened, and what she said happened. Even when an actual assault occurs it's very difficult to prove anything. Suing her for libel could absolutely discourage genuine rape victims from stepping forward.
This specific issue with FF should be fixed now. Check http://artsy.github.io/scroll-frame/demo.html to see if it works on your end. Thanks for checking it out :)
> I think software devs need to get used ...

Correction: we should never get used to it.. what they are doing is wrong.. the transport have nothing to do with the thing being transported.. is like to destroying a road just because some truck with drugs was found using the road.. despite the road can be use to transport families in vacations.. can be, and was created with good uses in mind

Its a complete non-sense

And its only "usual", because governments are in bed with corporations.. we should never get used to this sort of situation.. it hurts our civil liberties foundations to the core.. just because some greed people want to burn the world to get the last drop of profits

If they want to fight the free distribution of the material they create.. fine.. we cant argue against that.. the law should protect their interests (puting somebody in prison for it.. definetely not)

But destroy projects that can serve for a lot of good purposes(education, indie movies, a decentralized youtube), its just madness to let them do this, and just "get used to it"

Edit: This is one of those times that you understand that governements dont work for their people best interests, but for the corporations best interest against the greater good.. this goes against all the reasons democratic institutions were created for
I appreciate the clarification; had the announcement contained something to that effect ("We realize that production releases need GPG signatures and secure distribution channels, but we want to get this build out for early testing by devs and we're still ironing out the aforementioned distribution procedures"), I'd not have had any complaint at all.

Unfortunately, without that notice, my first thought was "why is it linking me to an HTTP site". The notice prevents visitors like me from guessing as to why that is by setting the appropriate context and letting us know you're aware of the right steps but they aren't feasible right now.
Scary rant.

I'd hate to think that accusations become so commonplace that we no longer think of such a horrible accusation as being unusual. That would give cover to those actually guilty, and leave the innocent always accused.

Sadly, I can't say you are wrong.
Thanks very much for your comment.

I agree that contract law is definitely involved. I think Terms of Service are an agreement between the end-user and the site/service, not the software developer and the site. Google isn't agreeing to the ToS of every site someone visits using Chrome. Similarly, and end-user can probably use 'curl' to violate many sites' ToS, but that's not curl's problem.

I did find this article "Copyright Exhaustion and the Personal Use Dilemma" [1] somewhat informative, although it doesn't really address my particular use case, because the content the users of my software would be accessing is not purchased, but being provided for free under some Terms of Use.

E.g. "To the extent a copy owner reproduces or adapts her copy in order to enable a personal use, exhaustion insulates her from liablity." But it seems like this is a very gray area of copyright law.

Digging back into the specific example, Redfin Terms of Use state:

You will not copy, redistribute, or retransmit any of the information provided
except in connection with your consideration of the purchase or sale of an
individual property.

So providing software which enables end users to collect and organize specific listing information from Redfin (not a site crawler), for that user's own personal use, stored on that user's own machine... I think would actually fall within the Redfin ToS.

Another way to think about it, it's analogous to extending the 'Bookmark' functionality of a web browser to better organize and monitor your bookmarks for changes. Does 'Bookmarking' a webpage become copyright infringement if the bookmarking software supports...

Mashups / co-mingling the content of related bookmarks

We could all argue for ages about the legality of such action, but we all know what popcorn time is for : browsing and viewing copyrighted material.

The real issue is the current state of copyright law, created from an obsolete model and then molded through intensive lobbying from the interested parties.

It was said thousands of times, and we will probably need to say it thousands of times more to get this to change.
> But you don't get to take a well-understood label, apply your own idealized definition to it, then attack companies that are using that label consistently with its traditional definition.

If someone were to talk to Verizon's sales people, and watch their commercial, and read their sales copy—and then be presented with those two definitions, which do you expect they would believe Verizon is using?
> I also agree that the Chinese made products may challenge this current status, but Chinese products have very serious quality issues that may turn a purchase into a one-time thing instead of a repeated customer. Samsung is synonymous now with quality products.

People said this about the US when the UK was centre of the industrial world, about Japan when the US was dominant, Korea when Japan was dominant. Looking just at the current state without that history I would agree with you.

The Won peg was just my assumption looking at the price exchange rate chart on Yahoo but maybe it was just a lack of precision, xe.com[0] seems much more accurate and shows a more normal looking graph.

And yet another example of why public shaming is bad.

If rape did happen, bring it before the courts. If not, don't ruin peoples' lives. And don't wait 10 years to accuse someone.

Who knows what really happened. Were they both blackout-drunk? Was it really awkward and bad? Maybe she consented and then regretted it? Maybe it was rape, in which case she should have reported it 10 years ago... Is she trying to cash in since he's slightly more successful than the stereotype of a philosophy major?
Not sure about the implementation, like is .train() auto scaling the network size? I'm guessing there isn't enough neurons to do 3-bit xor logic. Try adding more hidden layers!

Also keep in mind that there needs to be neurons to convert a value into binary, and back! Which is also going to take a lot of neurons, you could try doing dec -> binary conversion before sending it to the neural network:

net.train([{input: [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], output: [0, 0, 0]},
{input: [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1], output: [0, 0, 1]},
{input: [0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0], output: [0, 0, 1]},
{input: [0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1], output: [0, 0, 0]},
{input: [0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0], output: [1, 1, 1]}])

var output = net.run([0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0]); // [ 0.919125109533231, 0.9195887654595207, 0.9734227586511985 ]
I don't believe there's much chance of the accusation being forgotten. He's forced to address it, because ignoring it makes it appear he has something to hide.
This may be the only benefit of not attending college.
Very, very, very few men have the wealth, fame, connections, and social media presence that Max has. He can defend his reputation; most men can't.

There's something about that statement that just feels so very... off to me. A rich man should fight on behalf of all poorer men against the all-conquering, all powerful woman? Because that's not in any way representative of the power women have in situations like this.
Can you elaborate with a few examples? I am curious.
I don't think many people ever forget that you were publicly accused of rape. If she's lying, he should absolutely sue the shit out of her, and drag her name through the mud. Screw her feelings.

If she's not lying, then, well. He shouldn't do that, then.

It's somewhat troubling that this top-rated comment and all its children assume this can only be a false accusation.

I can only assume that this is the case with many rape accusations, especially those from years ago, though what limited research there is suggests false rape accusations are rare (2-8%).

The horrible part about it is that when an accusation like this is made, either one person or the other will potentially have their life destroyed, but the alternatives for both parties are also horrible: for the victim to stay silent, or for the falsely accused to not defend themselves.
