This is still the case today. I feel like the two are entirely unrelated, actually. If anything, we’ve seen the opposite phenomenon happen in every market. Buffalo Wild Wings commercials that cater to masculinity, Dr Pepper marketing towards men who typically don’t drink diet soda, hair salons that play sports, scents that smell like trees, etc.

I actually think the first chart is most telling. Since they are ordered by popularity, the names which had a visible male presence (Kelly, Kim, Riley, Avery) are what I would call 'switched'. Most people would have identified those as masculine at one point. Many of the others are too obscure to most Americans, so they would not have a preconceived gender attachment.

Basically, any given health record is covered by HIPAA if it 1) includes personal health information, 2) includes personally identifiable information, and 3) is used by a Covered Entity or Business Associate for some health care purpose. Just being "data with health-related information in it" doesn't make it covered by HIPAA; it has to actually be used by a specific set of organizations for a purpose related to health care.

If Fitbit just stored your personal fitbit data in a data lake in the cloud, that's not covered by HIPAA. But if it then shared that data with a service that made suggestions about your health, now it's covered by HIPAA. But if Fitbit allowed your smartphone to download your data, and gave you an app that allowed you personally to see health-related information about that data, that is (afaik) not covered by HIPAA, because you and your phone alone are not a Covered Entity or Business Associate.

Fitbit has a "health solutions" department which seems dedicated to healthcare solutions based on Fitbit data: https://healthsolutions.fitbit.com/ My guess is anything HIPAA-related is solely done through that arm of the company. Example: https://healthsolutions.fitbit.com/healthsystems/ I take this as them saying, "Hey Covered Entities, sign a Business Associate contract with us, and you can hoover up Fitbit data directly from us". By writing some glue code and doing the HIPAA hokey-pokey, they make a tidy profit.
"Transpilation" and "compilation" describe the exact same concept. From user's perspective, readable code is translated into runnable code. From theoretical perspective, code in a more complex language is translated into a less complex language while preserving semantics. From a compiler writer's perspective, it's a totem pole of compilers, with at least one middle-level language usually. Plenty of people use the term "compiles to JavaScript" to describe languages like TS or Elm. It's just some overly pedantic people insist on the term "transpile" when the target is also, in a completely unrelated way, used to write code directly by a significant number of contemporary programmers.
I’m surprised no one has complained about the lack of documentation for Safari, especially on iOS where special behavior is done for mobile.

The term 'boundary' has a specific mathematical meaning that may or not be appropriate. In particular a ball has a boundary (although a sphere doesn't).

The universe may or may not have a boundary at the big bang. Most straightforward theories seem to suggest it does have one. I believe Hawking has a rather complicated theory where it may not have one, but that involves adding an extra time dimension, which is a bit iffy.

Regardless, even if an infinite (in space) universe simply sprang into existence at a certain moment, that still doesn't mean it makes sense to ask what happened before. It makes sense to ask what happens at the boundary, but there is not necessarily a before to ask about.
It's a feature of the dependency system and speed of change of that ecosystem. A large number of systems have been written with these 'high maintenance' stacks in recent years.

I agree the users of these stacks are often short sighted and you could call that bad engineering. However it's very much a feature of those platforms, not so much individuals decisions on then.

Personally I prefer ecosystems with large common libraries that are highly stable and cohesive to avoid those problems .. but the reality is so much software is built in fragile/high maintenance stacks these days, npm and react being the worst bit not only examples of extreme code rot from time decay of the ecosystem. Try updating a react app from two years ago to really understand..
> As somebody who doesn't want typescript support, at all, I relish the lack of typescript support!

That's a pretty strange statement. TypeScript support does not mean you have to use TypeScript. It's purely additive by design.

This is quite literally what the parent is arguing that the cloud providers are making obsolete.
Well... yes and no. It is confusing, no doubt about it, but in an 'eternal inflation' picture it's practical to start the big bang at the false vacuum collapse.

Not precisely correct, no; there certainly was time before inflation ended, and there may even have been something equivalent to a traditional big bang, but our bubble universe started right then.
I have a friend who did exactly this, giving his daughter a gender neutral name to help her avoid discrimination. It makes a lot of sense to me and would guess this is not uncommon.

It also reminds of a study I read about a while back where the researches tried sending out resumes that were all identical except that half had very common names and half had names that are more commonly African American. Probably unsurprisingly, the first set of names received more interviews.

> Perhaps it's because Big Tech is full of people who favor Chinese ideals over Western Enlightenment/American ideals, such as:

I think you're onto something, but some of your examples are off.

I'd say Big Tech has a disproportionate share of people who:

1) believe they are part of the elite (by being able to command a high salary due to their skills) or aspire to join the elite (by winning the startup lottery), and therefore tend to take the perspective of elites against that of commoners, and

2) tend to focus far too much on economics, business, and technology.

Those attitudes can interplay to result in attitudes that can be pretty favorable to the CCP (e.g. trade/business profits can't be sacrificed for moral or democratic considerations). However, I wouldn't go so far as saying those tech people "favor Chinese ideals over Western Enlightenment/American ideals."

There have been a couple companies that have tried this in the past.

- Users are going to make requests where you have to say no very frequently.
- You'll attempt to go fill that side of your marketplace with vendors, and you'll get a couple.

- The fee you earn on each transaction won't be enough to pay for a quality human to do the matching, unless you mark up the transactions a significant degree, which is possible, but is mostly a medium-sized business.

They probably don't mention it because they aren't measuring that statistic. If you want to see how likely it is that people will name their male babies "female" names you could probably do that, but you couldn't do that by looking at the "most switched" names from a popularity standpoint.

In particular, naming your male a "female" name (or vice versa) that has not switched would really do a better job at showing what society thinks of this. Especially because a singular event in pop culture can switch the public perception of the gender-ness of a name: e.g. the election of John F Kennedy turning "Jackie" into a "female" name practically overnight.
Hawking and Hartle said the universe doesn't have a boundary, much like Earth's rounded surface lacks an edge. Hawking likened his no-boundary proposal (aka Stephen-hawking-Hartle state) for the universe to traveling southward until you reach the South Pole. When you reach the South Pole, the term "south" loses its meaning. The same idea is applied to time before the Big Bang -- once you trace back the universe to its beginning, the concept of time (as we define it, at least) becomes obsolete.

Pretty surely it is. Everything can be politicized, or be perceived to be politicized by the other side. Even a breastfeeding image can become political in an election context. Will FB take down posts that laypeople send about candidates? Even the ban itself would become extremely contentious, political issue. That's a very messy situation that directly infringes on a bunch of rights from freedom of expression to association to basic voting rights.

This confirms my opinion that the only way for self driving cars to work is for every car on the road to be a self-driving car. Stop signs would become like train semaphores where rather than being purely visual, there are other electronic indicators that tell the car to stop at a certain point. The roads should then be more like a train network. I really think this will mean more efficient use of space since you can have shorter following distance (this was achieved on the train network too once automated systems took over from human drivers). Trying to blend self-driving and human driven cars is just going to cause a huge mess. Accounting for human mistakes and AI mistakes is just too big a problem for AI to solve right now, and imo, for a very long time.

> What seems to be perpetually missing from the FOSS philosophy, especially among people who love tinkering with Linux (note: I am one of them), is a valuation of time.

This is perpetually missing from SaaS evaluation as well. You have to setup AD integration, you have to learn how to administer it, you have to learn how to export your data and what to do with it in case the company disappears, you have to setup internal support and they have to be the expensive kind of support who can debug things when the SaaS provider changes things without notice, you have to have your admins setup multiple browsers because they decided not to support IE like the rest of the company, etc.

The seat charge isn't the only cost of SaaS.
No, charge every night would be way worse. My wife uses her Fitbit to track her sleep, and it does this very well (much better than her previous smartwatch). She also tracks how much she walks during the day. A smartwatch that has to be charged every day would be useless to her.

I have no idea about the UI that some people complain about, but my wife seems to have managed to get access quite a bit of functionality in her Fitbit, so I'd say it's good enough for its purpose.

Ask HN: Engineering or Managerial path if looking to relocate to Europe
I'm looking to relocate to Europe in a few years, preferably Scandinavia, Netherlands or Germany and was thinking whenever it's better to stay in Engineering role or move to Management to get higher chance of landing a job that would bother to start visa process for me (I have an Australian citizenship)

I have a solid Software Engineering experience and recently moved to Management, but I wonder whenever it's a right choice considering my plans?

I always had a feeling that software engineers get hired and moved around all the time, but I know nothing about managers in this regard, are they highly sought after?

I also not sure "how the things are done" in Europe in this regards. Do they prefer to hire managers or grow their own, would manager be required to be proficient in a local language or it's all English these days.

Any recommendations where to get additional information, even which websites to use linkedin, indeed, etc?

The reason for move would be personal - living close to older relatives (in Eastern Europe)

I don't disagree with you here. I just aim to offer a one-stop shop to get that access.

The ideal scenario too is for credentials, data, etc that's not currently shared between people when alive.

In a Passbox scenario though then by all means!
So, you’re on your bike, in dense traffic. Even if all of them are already indicating direction, how do you know whether you’ll be next to a car wanting to turn right by the time you reach the junction? How do you even get from the right of a row of cars to the left of it in slow moving (⇒ short distances between cars) traffic? How do you get back to the right of the cars after making a turn?

But even if that’s doable, it doesn’t apply here, where NY wants to build segregated bike lanes. https://bicycledutch.wordpress.com/tag/junction-design/ has plenty inspiration on how to design junctions for those, in particular https://bicycledutch.wordpress.com/2011/05/05/state-of-the-a...
