I didn't know Pieter but contributed to CZMQ which was a excellent example of how C can be well written. ZMQ was like having lego blocks for me had so much fun playing with it, he is a profound thinker.

Repeat of the DotCom bubble, a few startups make it big then everyone and their aunt tries to emulate it with slight variations or solutions to a problems that don't exist. This app bubble is very pregnant and about to deliver something awful.

Look at every notable tech company ever, do you see many black people involved in the founding? Why is that?

The same reason as there were no Black people nominated for Oscars.

I used Clojure for an small application last year and once I got up and running (after watching many Rich's excellent videos and reading up) I got a glimpse of how powerful bottom up functional programming could be, a refreshing change from OOP. I wish Jetbrains would create a full featured IDE for it.

Reciprocation will be more likely if the person making the advance is more attractive relative to target of the advance. I'm sure there is a mathematical formula for this.

Broke a lot of things for me like subjects not appearing and unclickable buttons .

So it's not the act that's harassment, it's the relative level of attractiveness of the person committing the act. Interesting.

A lot of time sexual harassment == someone i'm not attracted to flirting with me. If it was a 6 foot handsome guy then it would be highlight of the week.

Only if it's someone you aren't interested in, if a hot guy you liked made eye contact a few times and smiled it would make your day. Am I right?

Looking at someone is harassment now? I must have harassed hundreds of women then, What about thinking about them?

So what are you supposed to do if you are attracted to someone at work, never make a move? Women need to be more forgiving and take it as a compliment, unless someone continues after a clear rejection (which is the definition of harassment).

Given you spent a large chunk of your waking life at work it's a breeding ground for attractions to be formed same as school, uni etc.

I meant if someone show interest not all the time, men can be dumb and are unable to detect subtle hints.

What happened to the woman in the article was unacceptable _if_ she clearly signaled she wasn't interested. On the other hand some women now think "Why won't that cute guy come hit on me?, is he shy or gay?" No he is worried you will report him for harassment. Forget ever trying to date someone from work it's a minefield (as is dating in general!).
