>This is reversible

I do not think delaying puberty is reversible. Puberty is an integral part of growing up and maturing into an adult. Delaying it will change the child's mental make-up and I do not consider that to be natural or something that should be done with anybody.

IMO the safest thing is to let the child attain majority, and then allow them to make whatever choice they want.
Noone are pumping 10 year olds full of hormones for the parents sake. Children that have undergone lenghty consultations and therapy are sometimes given puberty-delaying hormone-blockers because the medical evidence is that it substantially reduces emotional and behavioural problems and depression to delay onset until the child matures further mentally and emotionally and is in a better place to decide whether to transition or not.

The staged rollout has been ridiculously slow. I had it on my business account before my personal one, well over a year ago I think. The biggest problem was that it was activated before all of the features were available, so either it would throw you back into an old-site page when you clicked on something, or you'd need to manually switch to the old design to find a certain tool or setting that wasn't yet exposed in the new site. As of the last month or so it looks finally like they've gotten all of the features I use onto the new site, and it definitely better than the early-noughties design of the old site.

Lambda is easy to reason about, since it is guaranteed to not have any side effects. To juggle the other kinds of expressions like this you'd need a more elaborate purity analysis. So, lambda is a very easy prey for the DCE.

Also, there are some specific optimisations, like beta-reduction and closure inlining.

The big tech companies and organizations(including YC) have the legal,financial and political resources to bring about changes to the current H1B visa situation(which prevents the smartest minds from abroad entering the USA), and the Startup Visa which forever seems lost in the political process.

Why is it that even though all these companies and organizations have a common unambiguous goal, they are not actively working together to fix the mentioned issues? Why can't they form some sort of platform to collaborate on these issues to speed up the introduction of the proposed legislation?

IT IS NOT OPEN SOURCE - though you do get read access to the source code. You're right that you aren't forced to use their services, but you are also NOT permitted to use other cloud providers. So, it's either AWS or your own hardware. Still, this does seem rather amazing. One thing you left out is that there are no revenue sharing requirements either. You're not even required to use this for game development - you can use it to build movies, training simulations etc.

> I do not think delaying puberty is reversible

Then you are wrong. Simple as that. There's been plenty of published research investigating these drugs and their effect, both physical and otherwise.

> Puberty is an integral part of growing up and maturing into an adult. Delaying it will change the child's mental make-up and I do not consider that to be natural or something that should be done with anybody.

Going through puberty as the "wrong gender" for someone with gender dysphoria is associated with a long range of substantial mental health issues that also changes a child mental make-up, and in very negative ways.

> IMO the safest thing is to let the child attain majority, and then allow them to make whatever choice they want.

The research disagrees with you. These drugs are not used for fun. They are used because they have been shown to ameliorate substantial health issues for these patients. Waiting until they attain majority is too late - the damage has already been done.

That's not the right analogy. The equivalent would be requiring special licenses for all car dealership employees, which is not required. Salespeople aren't themselves doing anything medical and there's no reason they should have additional requirements beyond normal salespeople. We already have laws covering both (a) fraud, (b) minimum requirements of healthcare plans.

> A simple health example off the top of my head

Existing consumer protection laws would cover this. You can't sell a product and claim it has a feature which it doesn't — that's fraud.

Nothing about health insurance should mean that salespeople should require licensing. It's pure rent-seeking. There are plenty of other dangerous things which are sold by salespeople without licenses.

While I tend to agree, note that a child is not diagnosed with gender dysphoria the "moment they express doubt". It takes extensive evaluation that takes into account persistent and insistent behaviour over time to give that diagnosis. Depending on country, it can take years before that diagnosis is given, but even the most gung-ho people in that article have far more stringent critria than "expressing doubt".

The cause may be though that they just feel that way. I remember that since the beginning of the primary school there was a boy who pretty much perfectly integrated with girls. The clothes were the only difference from the outside. He explicitly identified himself as a girl. And that was from the age of 9 until 16 (if I count the years correctly...).

He was very far from genderless. Actually now that I remember it, it was so plain / obvious / natural that (as far as I'm aware) none of the kids picked on him about that - and kids picked on almost anyone for any reason.

For anyone who actually would like to know how modern machine boots, in a way which is practical and not just theoretical, this article is probably the best there is.

Definitely recommended for someone coming from the legacy BIOS boot background, expecting UEFI to be the same. (Hint: It isn't)

Basically while legacy booting has too many black boxes and black magic (from an end-user perspective) to be practical to work with, UEFI is actually inspectable and debuggable. If something fails, you can figure out why.

Best of all: Creating live USBs/CDs/whatever no longer requires special tools. Just copy the everything, including the EFI folder, and its automatically bootable.

UEFI is awesome.

Well - Yes and No.

My view on this is you have both gender identity and gender expression. Gender identity is very important to people and (to a lesser degree, children), but it's (mostly) invisible. We even hide our most obvious sexual characteristics.

For this and possibly other reasons, gender identifiers are important. It's important that we (cis and trans both) can hold the magical tchotchke of womanhood and wave it about so that other people know what we are. If it wasn't important that people knew what we are we wouldn't spend a fortune on dresses and makeup.

How that gender identity is defined isn't important. What is important is that it is defined. I'd argue that as long as it doesn't impact on a persons life choices then we should have things for boys and things for girls. So - Javascript is for Boys is a bad implementation of Gender Identity. Pink is for Girls is actually a great expression of Gender Identity. (As it doesn't affect career, or ease of getting dressed or anything that may otherwise societally affect women).

Of course this whole conversation is full of mentalists shouting at each other, so we're never going to be able to work out the best way of allowing gender fluidity in children or for trans people to live in the world without being labelled as mentally ill.

Shit Happens (use and avoidance of community provided toilets)
Allowing the child to make up their own mind is almost exactly not the approach offered by Dr Zucker. His approach involved telling parents to prevent their kids from playing with toys of the "wrong" gender and making friends with other kids of the "wrong" gender in an attempt to make sure they grow up the right gender. That's why activists call it conversion therapy.

This is what the article means when it says that: "That’s because the authors believe that messages from family, peers, and society do a huge amount of the work of helping form, reinforce, and solidify gender identities, and that at young ages these identities tend to be quite malleable. There’s great potential for confusion. A young boy might notice his new baby sister getting more attention than he is, and start dressing like a girl in a bid to be noticed. His parents, not knowing what to do, might go along with this, inadvertently reinforcing the notion that he’s a girl — a notion which, according to the GIC model, probably doesn’t come from a deep-seated kernel of gender identity, but rather mostly from social reinforcement and family dynamics."

His position - what he told parents coming to his clinic for help - is that if parents don't do everything they can to dissuade young kids from acting in gender-inappropriate ways, to make sure they wear the right clothes and play with the right toys and socialise with the right gender of other kids, they'll turn their kids trans. This is the point of dispute, and he's way outside of the scientific consensus here. All the stuff about the adolescent he may or may not have mocked is a red herring - I've followed this issue, and literally the only place I've heard it mentioned is articles defending Zucker.

This sounds odd to me. The NHS has an extensive programme of treatments, including full reassignment:

http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Gender-dysphoria/Pages/Treatmen...

What they certainly would have refused would be to start reassignment if said teen was not yet 18 and/or had not yet undergone the full evaluation and started socially transitioning, and this is in part for medical reasons, in part because it certainly is true that many children with gender dysphoria eventually come to decide they don't want to transition, either because the gender dyphoria resolves or because they don't feel they need to change physically.
