Mozilla killed Firefox. Several times, in fact. How many variants of regular and mobile Firefox have there been now because the primary version always ends up a bloated mess?
Deliberately breaking the performance of YouTube on Firefox is fine, because it shows how the non neutral net degrades into a television show with lots of commercial breaks.

Weird that you link to an article about tavi.

1) Trans people hate tavi, and want the contract taken off them.

2) Tavi's child services don't provide access to surgery or cross sex hormones

3) Most of tavi's child patients don't get puberty blockers.

This is an area with considerable disinfo. Most people on HN are woefully unprepared to deal with that, which is why this thread is full of inaccurate info.
My, possibly naive, view is that this has nothing to do with the "benefactor" of a policy (transgender people, in this case). It is more about power, politics and influence for the people who institute the policy.

15-20 years ago, working in tech was a good job in the sense that being a mechanical engineer, doctor, or lawyer was a good job.

Today, these are the most powerful, richest, and most influential companies in the world, and people who like power are involving themselves more than they used to.

15-20 years ago, these companies were more meritocratic in a domain knowledge sense: the "nerds" were powerful because they had knowledge and could build stuff.

Nowadays "politicians" (in the corporate sense, people good at office politics) have realized they cannot compete with the nerds who've been building stuff since they were kids, so to get a piece of the pie there's a political fight to redefine what's important.

Now "values" are important instead. Those who have the values have the power and influence.

I'm personally looking to move to a different industry than the tech companies. Some industry with less power and less prestige. Those will attract more interesting people who care about what's important.
Shame, these produce the most amazing sound.
Calling transgender people "transsexuals" is the same as calling black people "blacks". It's dehumanising.
By that logic, computers are made from humans. No – they're made by (things that are made by)+ humans.
Conversion therapy basically pseudoscience mixed with a bit of brainwashing and physical violence. I don't believe that is what Amazon is banning here.
I often bring this up in HTTP vs HTTPS conversations. It's not about what CAs you trust, as that's a policy decision you can make on your own devices. It's about knowing (through whatever CAs you trust), what the origin of the code you're going to execute on your device is. It's about knowing that your ISP isn't injecting extra JavaScript into your page requests. This isn't hypothetical, it's literally happening right now.

When the people injecting JavaScript are interested in exploits rather than dumb ISP value added services and notifications, it becomes more obvious that running code from untrusted sources, even if it's sandboxed, is dangerous.
practically no one takes hitler seriously and the handful of counter-examples are marginalized, mentally ill, and socially outcast. but more importantly, hitler's thought is not influential among anyone except to see how he got so far making so many mistakes. hitler's thought is not even influential among self-identified neo-nazis except as a sort of figurehead. I wouldn't expect you to agree with me until you see this for yourself.

ok, but why are we talking about a lot of kids doing this then (with the technicality of just removing the hormons and not adding them). I don't think you can judge whether social transitioning works within a month or so?

Also: is there any indication that this is (in the sense that people need transition or otherwise kill themselves) is a problem in other societies than ours (or just with a bunch of apes). Because I still think that we should maybe change our society before we do hardly reversible things to people to make them fit in (very unpopular and quite influenced by conservative christianity (though I'm not affiliated))

>And how much power does Google or Facebook consume?

In the case of google, almost an order of magnitude less than bitcoin, and it's 100% from buying renewable electricity (though because of the way energy markets work it's not quite like they don't depend on non-renewable sources). Renewable energy is in the minority of bitcoin energy usage (coal makes up a large fraction of this).

> And I'm not sure POS is a good solution because Satoshi would've used it or would've switched to it.

Satoshi is not omniscient. Just because Satoshi didn't come up with it doesn't mean it's a bad idea (in fact many of the ideas now integrated in bitcoin did not come from him).

As you said, it is nothing compared to opportunity costs. The person from the article seems to also have a day job, though, so they won't end up on the street if the project fails.

Why can't you handle 400$? I have many times been in the situation where an extra 400$ would have been painful. But it was a temporary situation. It doesn't imply 1000$ is a lot of money to spend on a project.

You also have opportunity costs by staying in your current job and not trying new things.
I love these languages, in a world of containers and yaml warriors, they put back computing in computers.
Anything before 2003 BMW would be a reasonable choice too. E39 5-series and before. Preferably before that even, like E34 because the E39 had some bizarre design decisions like putting the ABS controller too close to the engine so that it would die. Getting a used one installed is fairly easy, except for the re-coding part which requires a laptop running BMW diagnostics software (readily available on TPB).
>> Then train the models on real world data? Verify outputs enough until confidence is achieved.

And therein lies the rub. Do people actually want to know the truth? They invent methods to obtain it, but is that their aim or is it to confirm their current understanding of the world? Unlike a human being that can be forced into silence through coercion or manipulation, a computational model, once proven with certainty, is never going to go back in Pandora's box. This contradiction of pursuing truth but suppressing the inconvenience of its conclusions hasn't disappeared for some reason despite greater and greater knowledge of ourselves. Will it ever?
You need to be wary about what positions people report "trans activists" as holding. The website you link to is considered "questionable" by the Media Bias Fact Check website (https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/quillette/) and The Times has been instrumental in pushing transphobic rhetoric mainstream.

While I'm sure you could find someone on tumblr posting about how all 3 year old boys who play with dolls should immediately be given HRT, all mainstream thought (by trans people and medical professionals) I've seen is that children who exhibit gender dysphoria should be given puberty blockers while thorough psychological analyses etc are carried out.

You don't get that high tolerances with casting the bigger you go. Thermal warpage needs correction, and there is only so much you can correct.

How is any of this abusive? It's a scenario where a minority of workers in a geographic area decide they no longer agree with their employer, and voluntarily quit. The market implies it's cheaper to replace them, because they're few, than it is to replace many workers.
Actually, no. This has been studied. There are no ill effects in brain development when you give adolescents puberty blockers that we can tell. You can use the google search <transgender puberty blockers brain development> to find articles, from actual doctors, with references saying so.

It's not a problem in other cultures because other cultures just let people transition. Without transition we do see increased rates of distress, including higher rates of attempted suicide and deaths by suicide.
Interesting.

But even puberty blockers cause development issues in children. We are talking about permanent damage for something that might actually be temporary. Why not just let them decide at 18?

A foreign coup to overthrow a popularly elected president is the antithesis of democracy, even if you worry the person may be gathering too much power. It's the right of the governed to decide their government, and sacrificing democracy for this generation does not help democracy in future generations.

And this all ignores that it is ridiculous to claim this coup had anything to do with Morales bring president too long. We have no problems associating with open dictatorships.

Building a Table of Contents with IntersectionObserver
If I read the spec correctly, this is not necessarily Turing complete because there is only one stack and the number is not explicitly unbounded. (You can achieve TC with two stacks of bounded numbers or one stack of unbounded numbers though.) In particular JavaScript implementation uses an ordinary JS number, which is essentially bounded. The original TC claim [1] seems dependent to another language (Volatile) which uses explicitly unbounded numbers.

Thankfully there are some quite nice SIL or OTF licenced fonts available.
It's not about number of available threads, the very act of scheduling tasks across multiple threads has scheduling and communication overheads, and in many situations actually ends up being slower than running it on the same thread.

How fascinating it is to see conservatives being all about the free market until it goes against them. Indeed, Amazon is a private business and they certainly have the right to sell only those items they deem worth of selling. In the same way they decline to sell neo-Nazi paraphernalia, they have the right to refuse to sell anti-LGBTQ+ objects.
A similar, equally-fascinating example is the outrage conservatives express when those other free enterprises called Google and Facebook decline to allow individuals such as the former president on their platforms. Consistency is a bitch.

Yes, but it's important because the direction of travel is de-pathologisation. Being trans is not a disorder. Trans people sometimes have an underlying condition. In ICD10 that's Gender dysphoria, which is classed as a mental health problem. In ICD11 it'll be gender incongruence, which will be classed as a sexual health problem.

So, internationally agreed science and medicine says that being trans is not a mental health condition.

This matters because people calling it mental illness are often trying to deny access to healthcare. They'll say that transition is complex, and that other things should be tried first. What they mean is transition is bad and that as many people as possible should be prevented from transition and that conversion therapy should be imposed on these people.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_(computing)

It’s a physical data highway that allows devices to communicate with each other.

Early routers were ‘normal’ computers with lots of network cards plugged into a bus. Data arrived on one card, and was routed to another by the operating system.

Your home router is still a computer, but miniaturises everything to a much simpler circuit board with the network connectors directly soldered on.
