That's a huge assumption, people frequently pick irrational solutions due to biases. Frequently people value simple solutions over complex ones, even when that complexity is valuable and necessary. I think the best thing we can say about this is "We haven't tried it, and we haven't thought about the ways it could go wrong".

I mean that seems a bit hyperbolic. I'm merely saying that it's reasonable to expected elected officials to not engage in criminal behavior.

It's law in the US, and he is a United States Senator. Just because people in the military don't report sexual assault for being whacked in the balls doesn't mean one couldn't, or shouldn't. Sex isn't evil, but sex is often used in the workplace to coerce, intimidate and violate. There is absolutely nothing wrong with sex, there is absolutely something wrong with violating consent. People have the right to their bodily autonomy, some people even have strict religious codes that they've been working all their life to follow. Some people commit suicide after a sexual assault. If you want to hit your own balls that's fine, if someone gives you express permission to hit their balls that's also fine (though you should probably get it in writing), but if you go up and down the streets hitting people in the balls you're going to get arrested.

I'll be honest I'm don't really think the hashtag was written with that much thought in mind. It seems to be more a reaction to people being told "I don't believe you" when they claim someone has assaulted them. I agree it's unclear, and reading the responses is a mixed bag. #MeToo was more direct and obvious what it was about, however I don't think it's a huge mental jump to realize that "Assume the accused is guilty" isn't a nuanced conclusion and is frankly untenable as a policy.

They were on a work trip together as colleagues. If you're on a work trip, or any work event you don't make advances on your colleagues and you definitely don't make sexual jokes. IANAL but unwanted advances in the workplace constitutes sexual harassment, feigned groping jokes also count as sexual harassment. If she was making butt grope jokes at him she could similarly lose her job. It's a very bad idea all around and you shouldn't do it. Just because someone doesn't press charges because they're having fun with it doesn't mean you're not walking on insanely thin ice.

I think most people who supported #MeToo or #BelieveAllWomen do not believe in abandoning the legal system, though they may be discussing adjusting the legal system such that we actually see more convictions of rapists, assaulters, etc where the evidence succeeds in proving the accused party guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt.

I had only seen the photo and not read the investigations around it. In the photo it was unclear as to whether he was or was not touching. I'll concede I may have been wrong about that but still stand by the premise that you should not be a US senator if you cannot avoid sexually harassing US citizens (joke or otherwise).

Yes, I guess you're correct looking very closely it does appear he is merely making groping motions very close to her breasts. It changes it from sexual assault to sexual harassment which is still completely unacceptable. It still is not a behavior that any of our elected officials should be engaging in.

maybe so

I can see how a pithy hashtag could be misconstrued, and I doubt that is how the hashtag was intended.

It shouldn't mean assume the accused party is guilty, it should however mean don't dismiss the injured party. If someone came up to you and said "James broke my leg" the response shouldn't be "No he didn't", but it also shouldn't be "Let's beat him up". It should be "Hey lets help you get that leg fixed up, and help you get an investigation started". What people presently face with sexual assault, especially when bringing up cases against people in power is "No, not them, that didn't happen, you're making that up because you want something." It's not limited to just women, Terry Crews was sexually assaulted in an elevator and couldn't even use his massive muscles to pop them like an orange because of how that would appear. He didn't speak out because he didn't think anyone would believe him. So when people say believe the victim it doesn't mean assume the accused party is guilty, but rather it means don't just dismiss the victim when they say someone hurt them.

"the trickle-down effect to cases like those of Garrison Keillor, Jonathan Schwartz, Ryan Lizza and Al Franken, in which the accusations are scattered, anonymous or, as far as the public knows, very vague and unspecific, has been troubling."

This is a hot take, especially when Al Franken was literally photographed with his hands on a woman's chest. Sexual assault is bad, using your position to enable that should get you fired. Yes even if you are a democrat.

"What about the women who are the predators?" the author claims, though the #metoo was fundamentally about sexual assault, not specifically men assaulting women. I mean literally one of the heinous examples she provided was a man assaulting a man. This article is concerning, and I'm curious what their ulterior motive is.

Just to announce my bias, I'm a leftist, and I have a suspicion this is a democrat trying to gloss over the unacceptable behavior of Al Franken, who for the record I personally supported until I learned about the sexual assault.

I think the resounding answer has been over the years that written proofs aren't more fault proof, they're just better at hiding the faults because they lack explicitness. There has been a recent push for formal verification because it's easier to actually find issues with the proof.

By the time you want to spend it it's possible there won't be enough liquidity to actually facilitate your transaction.

If your DLP mysteriously turns off and then corporate data gets leaked you could be brought up on criminal charges that could include jail time. Which is the present scenario nearly all of us are in.

Also maybe he wants a new home.

Durham just got a vrcade and I kinda want to try it out.

Or it could be the fact that they paid 11 times as much as their parents for college and then couldn't get a job. Technology is a common scapegoat, it's not that it has 0 effect on us. Obviously fear of missing out is a real thing. However its almost never the dominating problem in our lives.

This argument has been made every single decade. Socrates even voiced concerns about writing and how it creates an illusion of understanding. It's been wrong every decade since and is wrong today.

Also I think it's an absurd argument that just because someone pirated your content that they would necessarily buy it. A lot of content is pirated specifically because they think it's not worth buying.

If you can't survive after 20 years without any competition, perhaps you don't deserve the copyright in the first place.

If it was however it wouldn't interfere with the functioning of this tech.

Actually that bumpy coating was the prior state of the art, this is instead a diffusing filter like scotch tape, and specifically works by not focusing light.

That would be misleading given that it was 17 days ago.

Their profits depend on not solving it. Of course if people decide they don't want to live there anymore because it's one drug den then perhaps tunes will change.

fine is relative. There was a tremendous amount of lost productivity due to the rising cost of gold. Also gold is traditionally a commodity, not a currency. If the value of your thing is that it functions as a transfer medium, and everyone is incentivized not to transfer it, it certainly sounds like it's bad at what it does.

I think people waste a lot of money betting on the significance of CEO sales.

Is it really a currency if there isn't inflation? What prevents hyperdeflation and the inevitable death of the "currency" without inflation?

you guys know that deflation is bad right?
