“Therapy” does not necessarily imply a disorder. Consider physiotherapy, which is quite common to address things like a pain in the back or to support the recovery of muscles after an accident. Neither are disorders. Therapy does not even imply changing something with the client, but could be simply targeted at helping the client to find better strategies to handle something that is bothering them, for example helping a client to be better deal with the fact that not everyone understands his or her sexual orientation.

yes. but why is pumping bodies full of hormons and cutting them preferred to non-invasive techniques? (which may or may not work as well and which are the first "solution" to similar problems before going to the meds)
> more than 412 mi

No, 400 miles is about right as an average range as long as your charging is fast. ICE cars achieve that easily. The Toyota Prius has 640 miles of range.

> faster than a Model S

Yes.

> close to parity for long distance

It isn't. There's no point pretending the situation is other than it is. You can do long distance driving in an EV but you are going to spend more time charging than you would spend fueling. That's just a practical reality.

The Porsche Taycan is the fastest road tripping EV at the moment. It's helped by its fast charging capability:

It's an expensive sports car and on price alone it will never be a mass market vehicle. EVs still need to charge faster than the Taycan.

> super charger is fast, but not yet quiet as fast as pumping gas

It's nowhere near as fast as pumping gas.

They've been doing it for quite a while; RMS pointed out that they retroactively removed 1984 from people's libraries nearly a decade ago. No regulator cared then, no regulator will care now.

Banning books isn't a particularly controversial thing; this isn't even banning them, it's just...not selling them.
Miners chase the chain the market decides. They can in theory mine the less profitable chain, but in practise they don't. The markets are the ultimate deciders of the rule changes. This is true of bitcoin and etherium and all other cryptocurrencies alike (anyone can always change the rules and try to get others to use the new rules. Who the market actually pays any attention to is the main question).
Minors are prescribed hormone blockers, which are not "transition." You are being lied to by the UK press.
thats a fairy tail. mozilla killed ie for home users, but on the business side (a way bigger market) that was not true.
mozilla also basically did not target that market that much, I meaan they had no adm/admx templates and msi files for a very long time.
My grandpa lived in a building with unnecessarily expensive local coal heating. They never plugged into a heat pipe from a nearby powerplant, because the neighbor, who operated the local boiler always vetoed the decision. Why? Because he was being payed for operating it.

This is pretty similar situation. Incentives of the miners are not aligned with those of the users.

This is disingenuous moral panic and a good example of the motte-and-bailey approach the UK press uses to discredit proper medical treatment of trans youth.
Binance created the subsidary binance.us for US customers, they have some restrictions due to US laws. Generally the US market is too valuable to be ignored entirely, even when there are significant restrictions. So US residents aren't really missing out or blocked entirely.

This is an interesting point, will they "burn" e-books already sold, like they did with "1984" (due to licensing issues)?
Looking at your website, I think the logo is perfectly fine for your target customer. I would just slightly adjusted the kerning and maybe used the same casing you have in the page title but other than it is def good enough!

But I don't think you need to spend as much for the branding as you suggest. I did a couple of branding projects for around $5K each, and that consisted of a logo, palette and typography. That is mostly enough for startups with a little bit of cash flow just getting out of the side-project phase.
Because the other options don’t work. Do even a little research instead of reposting the same question that you keep getting flagged for.
Companies in the US have a far higher chance of losing big expensive lawsuits.

Bans are mostly local affairs. For a shop, if they refuse to carry a certain book, they have effectively banned it from their domain of power, which is what matters.

I know that they once removed 1984 from Kindles due to a copyright issue. Some people noticed even then. But a momentum of interest takes some time to build up. If Amazon starts expanding their blacklists frequently, it will attract more and more attention.
> Therapy does not even imply changing something with the client, but could be simply targeted at helping the client to find better strategies to handle something that is bothering them, for example helping a client to be better deal with the fact that not everyone understands his or her sexual orientation.

That really helped frame things in a more constructive light for me.

Thank you.
I can't say anything about Amazon, but if one looks at a 20 year timeline, there's no company protecting nature more than Tesla.

Regarding worker rights I think that central banks destroying money by printing ,,infinite amount of dollars'' are the ones to blame, companies are generally in a hard position, that's why they can get away with inhuman tactics :(

Thanks for those links. Interesting. Yes, you're right. I learned that only recently. But IMO my original point still holds true if a person eats a mainly cereal- or mainly pulse-based diet (even if it includes other items like vegetables and fruit). Because then the body does not get enough of some needed amino acids to preserve and combine with others later. Of course this assumes they do not eat much of any other complete protein like dairy products or eggs. But that was my original premise, because I was talking about vegetarian food (and in the context of Indian vegetarian food). Almost all Indian vegetarians do eat dairy products (via tea, coffee, milk, buttermilk, yogurt, paneer, etc.), but not commonly enough to provide a significant amount of protein, is my guesstimate. Can't say about how many people eat eggs (I know many do), but it may be a significant percentage, and more so nowadays with more Westernization. But my comment was mainly about those who don't eat much of either dairy or eggs. Punjab may be a special case because they tend to eat a lot of paneer and drink a lot of lassi there, even if they are vegetarian.

I know that vegetarian means plants plus dairy plus eggs in the West, but am using the term in the Indian usage, where it usually means plants only, plus some dairy.
Thanks, we are pretty low budget. Image circles are in the 1/3", 2/3" range and we are looking at patterns with say 5 to 50 um pitch on a flat planar object, monochromatic, we control illumination, standard 3.45 um pixels (so 1k to 5kish).
We have a decent small design with two elements (good planarity, ok resolving and ok ish depth of field are what we care about). But we also sometimes look at larger frame (aps-c and up) and are also interested in smaller (eg VGA Omnivision type tiny module but with a decent planar macro lens e.g. f= 4 or 6mm, for 0.5 or 1x mag would be interesting). We do imager based metrology at the sub um and nm level
Well, I know both gay and trans people who have survived conversion therapy, but there's a really high incidence of suicide among people who have been through it. Also, the people I know have described literal torture as being part of existing conversion therapy techniques. There is also no evidence of it actually working.

All of these things seem to counsel against conversion therapy being an accepted practice.
You can make exactly this argument the other way around:

If implemented with processes it becomes quite messy very fast. You end up with a bunch of processes that do whatever the hell they want, and need some complex orchestrator script to tell it how many processes you want, and need some notifications to the orchestrator to increase or decrease the number of workers

With threads, you can have a main thread that reads the socket and places messages in a shared queue, and if you want more/less workers you just spawn worker threads to read from the queue.
Because people incur nominal debt contracts which causes wages to be sticky downwards --> they can go up more easily than down. With inflation, if wages are too high, you can let inflation eat away at them. If there were no inflation, the downward stickiness would lead to a lot of market failures (bankruptcies and unemployment) when wages were too high.

But then why do people incur nominal debt contracts? Because production occurs throughout time but must be settled in some medium. The farmer needs to know how much he will get for his wheat, the shipper needs to know, so someone needs to promise to buy wheat next year for $X and for that contract to be useful, everything else needs to be priced in terms of $ as well, so that the farmer can buy fertilizer for $ today, and agree to hire workers to work the field for $ from today to harvest time, etc. In this way, the farmer can estimate what he will get next year, what he will pay throughout the year, and what investments he needs to make right now. It is nothing special about the dollar -- if everyone used bitcoin for real contracts then wages would be downward sticky in terms of bitcoin, too. But as there is no way of expanding the supply of bitcoin, this downward stickiness would lead to a lot more market failures, and thus a lot more unemployment. We would then be effectively back on the gold standard, but at least with the gold standard, you'd occasionally find lots of gold in a mountain and this would stimulate the economy and increase employment. With BTC, you'd have all the financial crises of sticky prices but without the occasional gold discovery.

This is disingenuous and sidesteps the argument about capability of children.

It's really simple:

I often use the term W3c Web Components to differentiate from JavaScript components that use other APIs.

I know that Web Components are a recurring topic in W3C meeting agendas. I am not aware about parallel fast track discussions in WHATWG, but that makes sense.

I think there are already two Webs (simple and complex) and Web Components are actually a good way to create progressively enhanced websites that work well in both.
Maybe some employees will be less likely to stick around, too.

It is unlikely that every employee gets their input valued. The game of favoritism is older than Amazon, even older than the written word. Usually, a small clique gets to the top and gets their input valued quite a lot - at the expense of everybody else. Some people are more talented in office politics than others.

For the "everybody else", it means either curry favour with the clique or get out.

Ask HN: Holding crypto currency in custody in the case of a fork?
Currently it looks like Ethereum will experience a forking attempt by miners who are not happy with the EIP-1559 proposal which would reduce their revenue.

Vitalik and Co are reacting by speeding up the planned fork to proof of stake which will cut out POW miners altogether.

If you are holding Ethereum on an exchange like Coinbase or some trust like Greyscale or 21shares, I wonder what happens in the case that it forks into multiple chains with significant market value.

Ethereum forked once already and the smaller chain (ETC) still holds about 0.5% of the value. In future forks it might be less unbalanced.

This applies to Bitcoin and all crypto currency in custody of course. It is just more imminent for Ethereum.
This will not be the first time this has happened to eth.

First, I'm not some kind of shill who's "part of the UK anti-trans lobby". I'm not anti trans. What I am concerned about is damaging children's hormonal development and having them later regret it.

Even a single child regretting this when they're older is enough for me to say this is morally ambiguous, but I bet you those numbers will go up in decades to come.

There is a specific set of objective diagnostic criteria for PTSD.

Nobody is saying that those experiences aren't traumatic or stressful. What we're saying is that Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a specific thing with a specific definition, distinct from "the set of all people who have experienced trauma as the result of stress".

Personally, I believe that Amazon should be free to choose what they want to sell. The problems start if they are pressured to adjust what they sell, based on a small, but vocal minority group with self serving interest.

In this case there's a group of transsexuals, who feel, perhaps rightly so, that society haven't been sufficiently helpful or protective. They just fail to understand that not all who identify as transsexual at an yearly age grow up to be transsexual. Some end up being comfortable with the gender they where born with, why other turn out to just be homosexual. Exposing these groups to a non-critical treatment and not discussing other options will hurt a group of people much larger than those you are currently denied help with transition.

It's just hard to argue with a well meaning minority, without being cast as being against them.
Dynamic linking is one thing I miss from Swift - I used dynamic linking for hot code reloading for several applications, which resulted in super fast and useful development loops. Given Rust's sometimes long compile times, this is something which would be welcome.
One could argue that anyone can get their hands on a (pirated) copy of any books. But with Amazon (or other sellers) at least you have collected data on who reads what, which may become useful to law enforcement, someday.
There’s a reason my recent HR training had an entire section on how not to put the company at risk by being open about one’s beliefs about trans people. Fact of the matter is transphobia is the norm and they’d rather us dead than working alongside them.
I stopped using Firefox because it was a bloated mess that frequently ended up with memory leaks despite shutting down the browser. Creating a new window with no history and killing all other windows still didn't get Firefox.exe to release all the ram it gobbled up.

Mozilla has a habit of taking a decent, slimmed down browser (Phoenix, for those who remember that era), adopting it as their primary because their previous became a bloated mess... then taking the new fork, making it unwieldy and forcing people to create yet another fork to reign it in.

Tell me again how this is Google's fault.

They simply made a better browser.
I use datasette, datagrip and excel to process sales data.

- datasette to surface data via rest to excel (power query)

- datagrip to get the data how I want it, the json1 extension is so so much easier to work with than power query and for my use cases extremely fast.

This gives you (arguably) the best data grid in the world (excel) but without the horrible experience of building a pipeline in power query that will eventually become too slow and/or randomly crash and hang.

I would really, really like an in the box Regex extension so I can create SQLite views without the crazy lengths I have to go with SQL to, for example split a comma delimited list in a field.
> "Should we let children cut off their genitals?"

It is currently against any kind of recommended practice to perform genital surgery on children. It is not approved nor is it practiced. This kind of intentionally hyperbolic language is the sort of thing that is the stuff of tabloid headlines, not reasoned discussion.
Amazon already made the decision a long time ago: all books from A to Z. They are just renegging their position, which is against what it was built for at the beginning.
That's if you assume the majority of employees agree. Most either don't care or are scared to speak out.
Thanks for breaking down the evolution of the debate; your summary gave me a lot more context to this discussion.

> This is the controversial part. Trans right activists see this position as an erasure of trans identity/denying their right to exist, etc pp. They seek to suppress any kind of research investigating

Does this mean _all_ Trans rights activists?

I'm wondering if there is discourse from Trans rights activists who are activists for reasons other than those associated with medical research - and who possibly object to this attempt by a subset of Trans rights activists to suppress said research.

I only have one Trans friend that I actively engage with on this topic, and I get the impression that even within the Trans community there is a lot of disagreement in terms of what's best for society (and how to best raise our children).

Which is perfectly normal - especially given the deeply nuanced nature of this discussion.

I'm just trying to wrap my mind around why Amazon took this step.

Today, we have reasons to complain about JS. Yes, it enhances interactivity, but it also abused. There's a lot of unwanted interactivity (the type of one-way interactivity that lets a server know more than necessary about their clients).
Piracy, Overcoming Gravity, and the Digital Edition
I have used Mongo for 9 years. First at a game company, then for several prototypes that made it to production in my current role. We have not lost data once. Many of my friends at medium-sized companies use Mongo for much larger projects and have not lost data a single time, either.

And it is it not just me and my friends -- HSBC recently announced they are moving 65 of its relational databases to mongodb. I am not sure that is wise, but I think it furthers my view that data-loss is not a concern in many contexts.

The data-loss thing was most certainly real, but has not been since wiredtiger if one manages it the right way or uses it as a service.

I would not say that I would say that HN != reality, maybe !== reality :). Neither side of the debate is wholly right, and neither is wholly wrong.

The reason I use it is that for many projects, all you need is a relatively fast JSON document store, and mongo is so developer-friendly such that speed-to-prototype is so much shorter than anything else I have used in 25 years of building database-backed applications. Rethink was the only product that I would have used in its place and I was extremely sad to see it go. I agree with the commenter elsewhere in the belief that it would have thrived had it survived. I was using it for my personal/learning projects and was ready to switch everywhere.

We have stuck with Mongo in production for a few products, one relatively large, and I think if you have separated your concerns well-enough, it is okay developing in Mongo while leaving yourself a path to postgresql or something else. You need to prove, first, that the thing you are building is useful, and Mongo will let you get to that really fast.

I believe what is happening here is that the happy folks are quiet, and the aggrieved folks' experiences are real but it likely was a bad fit for their particular situation. For the subset of situations where we use it, it has allowed my teams quickly in our experimental work.

All of that said, I work in an innovation space where we throw a lot of things at the wall to see what sticks, and our time-to-prototype is often a few months at most. For us, it has been a godsend, but our situation is rather unique.
