Er, if you don't block them, 11-year-old trans kids will get the wrong ones. That's what puberty does. At a certain age, your body starts producing high amounts of sex hormones. Blocking them means that these kids won't immediately develop permanent secondary sex characteristics which don't match their gender and would cause then suffering.

Surely it is better to block hormones at 11 and then go on the right ones at 16, rather than otherwise needing a mastectomy, facial surgery, vocal surgery, hair removal etc. in later life?

When talking about debt, keep in mind that all our money is debt.

There is no money without an equal amount of debt. All debt created can be repaid by the money created in the same process.

One person saving money is equal to another person struggling to pay back debt. One person taking on debt is equal to another person being able to save money.

Is debt crippling the global economy? No, debt is running the global economy. It's the saving of money which dries up the lake of debt repayment. The problem is that those who can take on debt have money and those who need money have maxxed out their credit and cannot take on more debt. In total, we have a lack of new debt (=fresh money).

I had cut the flesh and bones of many whale, dolphin and porpoise corpses and personally I will not eat this meat unless really hungry and disperate. And I'll never, ever, no-way, eat it raw as sashimi.

I'm not afraid of the flavor; and is not the ethics/religion/ideology behind the idea that will stops me doing this. Is not even that they are endangered species.

The main reason to me are the parasites.

I'm talking of the gastric volcanoes 'spitting' herring worms, and the pulsating 'alive spaguetti dish' picture that you see when you open the gut, and the fat tailed and 70 cm long Crassicauda worms blocking the blood vessels of the kidney; or dissolving with chemicals parts of the skull of the live dolphins.

Is also the St. Lawrence belugas accumulating high loads of mercury, lead, PCBs, PBDEs and other stable toxic compounds in the fat and having high rates of cancer by this. And the fact that whales travel thousands of miles around the planet each year, and Fukushima guys and other companies are still releasing water contaminated with toxic waste to the sea.

The flavor is not the problem, the problem is that currently this meat is not safe to human consumption.

Also: You can use hardware you own and operate for your game servers.

So, it's a fair deal. You can use your own servers and not AWS for anything, but you can't use other web services which are competing with AWS. You can also modify source code as you see fit, but not distribute it. That's about it. Can't complain.
10 improvements in Apple’s latest iOS, OS X betas
Reminds me of a discussion that was on anothe HN article a few weeks back where someone proudly stated that if a feature customers used didn't fit for in with the companies strategic direction they'd drop it, and tough luck for the customer.

Apple seem to have the same mentality. They used'to get away with it, but mostly because they replaced it with something better. Now they just seem to drop features entirely. That's not a good way of going. As much as I despise Steve Jobs, he never let that quality of a product drop to the degree that big customers (or even smaller customers) left Apple without a major fight to keep them.

It's looking like Apple's obsession with making great and quality products is taking a bit of a backward seat. I think they probably need to worry a little less on their schedule, and more on polish and feature completeness.

Rather remarkable I'm actually saying this, to be honest! Apple would be the last people I would have guessed needed this advise...

The average person is not supposed to maintain their own node for these services. That's why they have us who give our free time and our VPS accounts to host such things.

It basically comes down to trusting Big Media or trusting your neighbour with your data.

I personally doubt we'll see a big breakthrough for Big Media alternatives because people go where their friends are.

I am unfortunately expecting fragmentation in that field, sort of like reverting back to the early days of the internet when us nerds who could connect were considered a subculture. Now that everyone can connect we're creating a subculture of people who choose not to use Big Media and instead gravitate towards smaller and less centralized alternatives.

That doesn't matter though, I have always enjoyed being on the fringe and I believe I will continue enjoying my time there. :)

I hate this crime, but having said that, your argument doesn't hold water.

As another commenter pointed out, they can't even keep their own stuff secure. In addition, if politically it's useful, you can bet that somehow it'll find a way to get out: the Justice Department aren't the only folks able to do parallel construction. Plus folks in government agencies leak confidential stuff all the time on deep background, or as a way of scoring political points.

This is a terrible thing, but it's a terrible thing because people procuring and owning massive datasets on other people is wrong. I understand that society's morals haven't caught up with that yet, but that's the only solution that makes any sense: I own my data, I store my data, under certain conditions I may lease/lend you my data for a limited time only -- and all other uses of it, whether by private or governmental bodies -- is theft.
I spotted the sarcasm, but the comment just didn't make any sense in this context.
You have any sources for that?

"GPS satellites revolve around the earth with a velocity of 3.874 km/s at an altitude of 20,184 km. Thus on account of the its velocity, a satellite clock appears to run slow by 7 microseconds per day when compared to a clock on the earth’s surface. But on account of the difference in gravitational potential, the satellite clock appears to run fast by 45 microseconds per day. The net effect is that the clock appears to run fast by 38 microseconds per day. This is an enormous rate difference for an atomic clock with a precision of a few nanoseconds. Thus to compensate for this large secular rate, the clocks are given a rate offset prior to satellite launch of - 4.465 parts in 1010 from their nominal frequency of 10.23 MHz so that on average they appear to run at the same rate as a clock on the ground. The actual frequency of the satellite clocks before launch is thus 10.22999999543 MHz.

Although the GPS satellite orbits are nominally circular, there is always some residual eccentricity. The eccentricity causes the orbit to be slightly elliptical, and the velocity and altitude vary over one revolution. Thus, although the principal velocity and gravitational effects have been compensated by a rate offset, there remains a slight residual variation that is proportional to the eccentricity. For example, with an orbital eccentricity of 0.02 there is a relativistic sinusoidal variation in the apparent clock time having an amplitude of 46 nanoseconds. This correction must be calculated and taken into account in the GPS receiver."

I've had a chance to speak with a few engineers from Motorola that worked on GPS and a very interesting fellow that worked on GLONASS all of them said that they had a tuned atomic clock and everything was done on the receiving end and for the most part the clocks on the satellites could not be even corrected after they were initialized.
But there's no private information in the leak. Just official contact information.

I have difficulty seeing why gender is such a solid and psychologically important concept, as opposed to sex. Gender is the social layer of meaning attached to sex, while sex is a biological construct.

Do males really need a sex change just to play with barbie dolls? Do females need really need to think about sex change just do play with "action figures"? That's an extreme change to make just so you can fit into social roles.

Why not just create your own personal identity that involves being female and doing male-typical activities, or vice versa? Hollywood plays with gender expectations all the time, and while there are certainly still gender norms, the lines aren't so clear anymore, and society has adopted the appetite to continually challenge gender norms.

And there are barriers that far surpass gender, like the barrier of money. Most men and women don't travel much because of money. Because of your racial identity, you can't easily penetrate any social circle you wish; it's hard to be an anthropological spy.

The parent comments were discussing why choosing dicts over namedtuples for db-originated columns, and the fact that field names are restricted on namedtuples but not on dicts is a very compelling point.

Making examples usind dicts and explaining why namedtuples have restrictions is completely missing the point.
Tacitus wrote about Nero's persecution of Christians and blamed him for making people feel sympathy with those losers by excessive cruelty.
That's possibly quite true.

I think it would be interesting to see statistics on the typical usage of any specific text editor (Atom, ST, whatever) as well as market penetration as most surveys I've seen only log which editor is preferred and don't account for users of multiple editors nor what those editors are used for.

It's quite possible that my usage patterns are the smallest of minorities, but it's the only datapoint I have at my disposal. :)
The money needed to pay back the debt exists.

In principle all debt could be repaid - BUT only if nobody saves money. That money which is saved cannot be used to repay debt. It is this money which requires new debt to pay back old debt.

Some entity (the state) needs to ensure that nobody saves a lot of money in order for the system to work long term.

A weak state would rather take on new debt on its own instead of taking the money out of the hands of its citizens. This creates a temporary relief but in the long run it creates an increasing amount of money saved which in turn worsens the problems.
TLDR : American public schools suck but there is an increasing number of extracurricular math programs that help talented kids learn advanced problem solving skills. Mostly only well-educated and well-off parents get their kids into these programs. That kind of sucks, and there are marginal efforts to reach out to poorer students. But the real story right now is, if you have kids in public school, their math education sucks and you might want to look into extracurricular options -- there are lots out there.

This was rather clumsily written. Even if your company messed up, shoving your CEO with a boot up his ass is bad for morale. The reason why most communiques are generic is because there's very little upside to being abrupt publicly.
Generally I'd be reluctant to trust any free service in exchange for my data. LinkedIn is even worse than that because even I pay they constantly overstep and gradually tear down any external APIs (until total user lock-in which is the current state of affair). I can no longer export my own connections, ... or query the interface for basic BI (e.g. which companies in Paris are working on BigData technologies etc).

Further there is a huge problem with companies being shit when it comes to providing feedback to candidates (which to be fair this problem LinkedIn never offered to solve). An issue that Glassdoor initially because they positioned themselves as some kind of review platform. But unfortunately glassdoor did a u-turn and now copy/paste LinkedIn's subscription/recruitment model 1:1 and even spams me more often than LinkedIn asking me to buy their job-posting packages.

The problem is that there is no way of holding companies accountable to their recruitment practices. If you apply for a job you have no idea why you get no feedback or what happened with your data that you supplied. How many other applicants have also never heard again or been left waiting for 3 months without an answer from the company. One of my companies is in recruitment so I know a thing or 2 about how recruiters often are stuck in the middle if the client doesn't provide proper feedback of why a candidate gets rejected.

Pushing for transparency here would be a killer service. Though I'm totally disillusioned with another walled garden where I have to take some founders word for it. I want to see something anonymous that does not put the candidate at risk if they give bad feedback about an employer. Also it should be decentralized and without a possibility to be killed (e.g. no censorship or EU data protection law or "right to be forgotten" should allow an employer to remove a bad review/comment from the web). I think the blockchain would lend itself to such a concept.
> if you're expecting to be covered for an urgent emergency life-saving procedure

You will never be refused emergency treatment just because your insurance doesn't cover it. That's the law in the United States.

You will get a huge bill afterwards and there will absolutely be financial consequences, but not medical ones.

It's illegal for a hospital ER to refuse you due to lack of sufficient insurance. The point is that you won't die, so you will be around to come back and sue the broker. (In fact, insurance lawsuits are super common.)

Not to mention that we're dealing with a hypothetical case where you do actually have insurance but it's somehow insufficient (which, by the way, is unlikely under Obamacare). In that case, you would absolutely get treated, but your insurer would refuse to cover the bill and would pass it on to you. You could then sue Zenefits for misrepresenting the product and seek damages to cover the bill.

> same insurance products requiring licenses as mentioned in the article

They're not the same in that I'm talking about individual insurance and the article is group insurance, but that's irrelevant to the point. If there are serious medical consequences to buying insurance without licensed supervision, I shouldn't be able to buy my own insurance online.
>They are asking, please stop using our content without giving something back.

They are asking to violate your privacy by feeding your personal information to an ad network. If they were clear about the exchange they expected (personal info for articles), then people wouldn't be so harsh on them. It's pretending that their proposition is just seeing a little ad that's misleading to the point of being immoral.

>It's the self righteous behaviour about it that's immoral

I wouldn't call people being upset that wired has made this anti-privacy decision to force people into an all or nothing subscription self-righteous because it's not unfounded. This is a big middle finger to anyone who cares about privacy.
The call should only run for under the minimum 100ms each time as it's just a ping and the instances is usually already loaded although AWS will likely recycle the instance from time to time outside of your control. There would be roughly 8640 calls/month which is about 864 seconds of execution time. You get 800,000 free seconds per month. This is totally negligible because even if you are counting it above the free level it is about 7/10 of a cent per month.

LACK OF DEMAND...wages stagnate.

You seem to be wildly misunderstanding Keynesian economics - the entire purpose of stimulating demand is to create inflation and lower real wages.

Further, all your premises are definitively false in the US. Debt levels are falling, and aggregate demand (i.e. NGDP) has been steadily rising.

Mongodb is used in a small section of the project and it's not used to store data. In that case I would use Cassandra, together with Spark.
The pricing is really good. The licensing terms are awful, but $1.50 for 1k daily active users is nothing.

Three use cases to consider.

Subscription-based games (eg. MMOs), averaging $11 / month. Worst case scenario (all your users are active daily), that's less than 0.02% of your income going to the engine.

Freemium/microtransaction games. Considering $1.50 is somewhere between 1/10th of a transaction to 10 microtransactions depending on the game, you need roughly an extra 1-100 microtransactions per 10k daily-active users to cover the cost. That's nothing.

Ad-based games... 1000 users should be worth more than $1.50. That's not gonna happen, why would you use this.
