You are correct in that such a low dose for a short period of time is unlikely to have major problems, but HRT is not a risk-free treatment. It increases risk of heart disease, stroke, blood clots and more.

If a prescription like this goes through the entire system and is given to a minor for nearly two weeks - there's definitely a problem there.

I know that there's a lot of systems out there that will automatically flag for "suspicious" or mistaken prescriptions, whenever medicine that is not associated with any diagnoses is prescribed. Surely a basic thing to do in a case like this would be to forward it to another doctor to double-check.

I know several trans women who have had trouble getting their estrogen prescriptions covered by insurance, even with medical diagnoses. Because they've got a system in place that says "Hey, why are you giving estrogen to somebody legally male? That doesn't seem right."

I’m not sure you know what the phrase “at the precipice” means, but the US isn’t even close to losing it. The separation of duties between the state and the federal government in conjunction with the branches of government means that even a fully compromised election for one of the positions cannot take the whole country.

By what objective criteria do you classify it as “on the precipice”?

To me this is the most telling part. When you are poor you need to have one or more roommates to afford housing and this is not new. What is wrong with roommates?

I do think the US could use more small/studio apartment options for those who have a bit more money and prefer to live alone. I lived in a small studio once and enjoyed it, though I usually had roommates.

Medical records reviewed by The Times show that the teen’s testosterone levels were “slightly high” when the doctor who diagnosed him prescribed daily doses of estrogen

This is sickening, not so much for the drugging but the 'oppositional defiant disorder' interpretation. Knuckle under, kid.

However, simply on a factual basis (I assume the story was based on an established practice anyway), I remember as a kid reading a story in 1001 nights where some male child was castrated to stop him being bolshy. They do that to animals for the same reason and with the same effect. There's precedent.
It appears the same person also insulted their future CTO in public for asking a harmless question on Twitter?

I don't know him personally, but from what I heard, Mr. Warner is most likely extremely good at understanding and planning complex distributed software systems. And if I was him, I'd then feel slightly offended to be called "mediocre white man".

I understand that I'll most likely get downvoted into oblivion for this comment, because I'm not supporting the person claiming minority discrimination here. (Or else there would be little reason for her to reduce the GitHub CTO to his male and white attributes.)

But just in case there's anyone here considering something similar, let me advise you that insulting your boss in public (no matter which gender or skin color) is probably never the right move of you want a better job offer from them.

> When we start diagnosis a disorder notorious of lack of attention in people who demonstrate an abundance of attention, there's a problem.

Inattention in ADHD has always been the lack of ability to appropriately direct attention, not the absence of attention to anything.

While “hyperfocus” by name is a fairly recent association, at least as far back as the DSM III-R ADHD has included both tendency to be easily distracted by extraneous stimuli (inability to maintain appropriate attention) and that of not having attention drawn by stimulus that should draw it (appearing not to listen.)

Hyperfocus is simply the latter.

His father reports that his son's personality is completely different, he is now a total shut-in.

He was injected† with non-indicated (as in, there is no literature on this rogue prescription) contradictory sex hormones during adolescence and under duress; I don't know why you're downplaying this, I hope it's just because you don't know what this means.

> infertility

Infertility is a common outcome of sex hormone therapies.

> ...the unimaginable cruelty of... emasculation?

If suppressing gender dysphoric people is wrong, how can it be moral to medically intervene to deprive an adolescent of the normal functioning of his body, and an already solidified gender identity? Using non-indicated medical interventions to emasculate or defeminate somebody who is already secure is a form of extreme cruelty, from basically any moral frame, yes.

I think you jumped to assume that it's an external product. You have no idea whether the person in question is lazy or self-centered. The person who taught me this was neither.

In either case, at some point you have to convince someone else that it's worth investing their time. External, this can be dollars (although is that really the best way?). Internally (and optimally), you still need to self-market your product to marketers.

Either way, it's better to spend at least a little time doing marketing. Boiled down from all the hype and jargon, marketing is highlighting the benefits to another person. If an IC is working on a project where they don't know the benefits, there is a larger issue.

You’re begging the question. Is having your own 1BR apartment a “basic standard of living”? When did we decide that? Is that a goal other developed countries have set and achieved? Those are the pertinent questions, not what ideas “we like.”

According to the study, that standard would require a $30-40 minimum wage in places like New York. Is that something any country has done?

This is something that is still not quite understood by doctors.

I take my kid (Who has a respiratory condition) to hospital at 90.

In my experience if you are in hospital with oxygen because of a respiratory illness, the oxygen would probably be given once you dip below 92-93 assuming they know you have a respiratory condition. Not because that’s the danger level but because they want to be able to tweak the O2 if you fall even lower. Doctors then usually instruct nurses to adjust the flow so saturation stays in the 90-95 range.

People at high altitude or in airplane cabins can be at 70% for hours without even noticing. Meanwhile someone having a dip from 90 to 80 with pneumonia might be gasping for air.

Minimum wage workers shouldn't be able to afford rent unless you think every job should automatically align with the ability to be able to rent an apartment minimum.

That would necessitate the fact that a medium wage worker would have the ability to rent multiple places.

We'd need to build infrastructure and housing so that those medium range workers would and could rent multiple places.

Because right now the idea is if you have a medium income you can afford to rent and maybe own a place. Theres not much waste in terms of each medium wage person be allowed a home.

The intersection between South side Chicago resident and semiconductor expert is vanishingly small.

> For some reason, it insists on constantly recommending videos i have watched before, which is annoying.

The insanity is deeper than that:

1) YouTube recommends videos they _know_ you watched before (they're marked as watched).

2) YouTube forgets which videos you've watched after a few months. Google, of all companies, forgets what I've watched. WTF?

3) So even if YouTube didn't recommend videos you've watched before, they'll forget in a few months anyway and recommend it again.

4) And you can't mark videos as watched. Say you watched a video elsewhere. YouTube recommends it to you. But you've already seen it. Can't mark it as watched. Can't make Google not recommend it. Even if you could, they'll just forget in a few months.

5) Watched a video, but skipped the last 5 minutes because it's sponsorship content? YouTube: Better not mark that as watched and instead recommend that you finish it for the next few months.
As an adult survivor of MSbP (both of my worst abusers were psychiatrists) I have to say this is amazing to hear.

It has always disturbed me greatly that pharmaceutical companies can go around claiming disorders in the DSM based on tons of research, but where is the pathway testing done? Why don't we see that happening with regular patients? There is a very strong disconnect between how these diseases are agreed upon AND treated VS the Hippocratic oath, objectivity, scientific, methodological reasoning.

What's even more disturbing is how completely normal mental health issues are then twisted in main stream culture, and used to control or hurt people, rather than help them. Mental health virtue signaling amongst psychiatrists is at an all time high with people bragging about how wonderful their disorder is and how proud they are. Does nobody else see something wrong with that? These doctors are convincing people they are permanently damaged (DNA/hereditary) and then pumping them full of drugs that don't quite do the trick. And this is happening in MASS. Mutagenic drugs fed to children and industry insiders have been blowing the whistle on overdiagnosis and overmedication for decades. And people wonder why our country is going crazy... wow.

Just. wow.

Mental health professionals in our society are failing us hard as a group and as individuals. I would cry myself to sleep, tears of sweet joy if I knew this was getting fixed and regulated and that psychiatrists had to undergo psychiatric evaluations themselves because I know several who are downright sociopaths and think that it's their right to tell other people they're permanently damaged and therefor wrong about <insert whatever random disagreement they have here>. It's honestly scary as hell because psychiatrists have made my life a living nightmare and nobody seems to want to listen or help, or the ones that do can't or don't know how. I even talked to Monica W. of proxy project and she is only putting money she gets into research or legal testimony. MSbP victims aren't being helped on a big scale and this is an issue serious enough that if left unchecked is going to (and already is) cause untold damage to our culture and society, shit I'd wager our ability to survive even.

I do blame fakes like Dr. Phil for making everyone afraid of MSbP victims. He sensationalized the case about the girl and her boyfriend who killed her mom. Then he just makes it seem like some horrifying rare condition. No other cases to go over, no suggestions about how we can tackle this problem. Just straight up fear mongering. he's a real big piece of . While in fact this is happening all the time everywhere in front of our noses, but we somehow went from blindly trusting in Pastors who rape boys to Psychiatrists who convince everyone they need to pay them the rest of their life and take pills that will permanently alter their body chemistry in unintended ways.

> Temporal/Cadence are targeting nondomain specific workflows, so they have to be imperative.

> NAND benefits from innovations in the CPU lithography space since it's essentially all transistor based.

It's really not, especially in the 3D NAND flash era where only one manufacturer is still using a floating gate cell. It's so thoroughly not transistor based that the Chinese upstart's claim to fame is that they fabricate the transistors on an entirely different wafer from the memory cells, and glue them together later.

It's best to think of NAND, DRAM and logic as three separate categories that each require a very different mix of tools in the fab, especially on the back-end. (But you won't be finding EUV or quad-patterning in the front-end of a NAND fab, either.)
You're correct.

"Several major cities, including Seattle, Boston, New York and Minneapolis, have specific policies against police recording with body cameras at protests.

Protesters have long been worried about surveillance at demonstrations, the latest twist being police use of technology like facial recognition and social media monitoring to identify people in crowds. Using body cameras as surveillance tools at protests threaten people's privacy and could have a chilling effect on free speech."

Positive feedback is nice, but feedback on how to improve is incredibly useful. I really value constructive feedback and I spend a lot of time on providing helpful feedback when people ask for it. A short statement that a colleague did something badly is not very helpful, but taking the time to figure out how specifically they could improve and providing suggestions on how to do so usually hurts people's feelings less and helps them more. One coworker even specifically called out that they appreciated the time I put into providing feedback.

What really infuriates me is that even though I take the time to provide good feedback on how to improve, other people don't return the favor. I'm young and lazy. I know that my work is terrible. Yet no one has bothered to call me out on it in years or given me meaningful suggestions on areas to work on.

Constructive feedback might hurt someone's feelings for a few minutes, but if it is provides structure on how to improve in the future the recipient will come to appreciate it after a few minutes to calm down.
