I am not down playing Stalin‘s and Mao‘s genocides. Nor do I advocate for „communism“.

Just pointing out how capitalism isn’t exactly free of horrors, but they are hard to measure. E.g. tuberculosis claiming 1.5 million lives each year, but not in the west, so there is very little done about it. Or HIV.

The thing is we are not comparing individual countries but ideologies here. And capitalism fails those deceased for economic reasons. It’s easy to overlook.

You can mix capitalism and collectivism, as most countries did. It’s not black and white.
It's not bad, it's just the reason people are doing it have nothing to do with preventing it form happening again.
Yes. I always tell people that if they really love a YouTube video they need to archive it themselves. Tons and tons of content gets erased all the time for many different reasons. Just recently I found two of my favorite channels, popular around a decade ago, had deleted almost all their content because their jokes were too offensive for today's audience and they wanted to project a more mature aesthetic. That would've been a huge chunk of my early adulthood gone forever if I hadn't already had copies of all their videos.
Could you link something worth reading from them on this?
Yes, you need experts, but the people who are going to really benefit from expert-level training were probably already going to go to college anyway. Doctors, lawyers, scientists, etc are part of the upper class in one way or another.

This sounds like something you should see a therapist for. I got poor grades in university and they forced me to see a counselor, one from the mental health side, one of them my professors.

Does FAANG do something like this? I've seen smaller companies offer mental health support and I hear Google would promote meditation. The stress level in FAANG has to be pretty high, with most of it self-inflicted.

There are only 2 reasons I can think of:

1. Because Trump called for an investigation into the Lab Leak Theory. Since Trump is bad, everything he says and does is always bad. This meant that everyone who was anti-Trump said that the lab leak theory was 100% false, definitely a consipracy theory and hence.... bad.

2. Because the Chinese government have used the modern political environment to deflect all critism as racism. Because people often shorten "Chinese Government" to "China" in news (much like the US), they take it that attacks against "China" aren't really attacks against the country but instead racist attacks against the people. Since racism is bad, criticism of China is racism, and investigating the Lab Leak leak is criticism of China - it stans to reason that the Lab Leak theory is racism, and hence.... bad.
A problematic aspect of segmenting based on age is that you get a very large bias towards people with specific birth months. Getting 11 more months compare to the competition is huge, and the data shows it.

I agree. But that's not what the commenter said. They claimed that U.S. politicians are electing themselves via fraudulent votes. That's a conspiracy theory.
> But how can anyone _possibly_ deny the first part? How could anyone contradict an individual who states their own gender - on what grounds can you claim to know how someone feels about themselves better than they themself do?

A lot of us remember similar mistakes from their own teenage years. I had a short phase where I thought I was gay, because my classmates were starting to date girls but I had a close guy friend and wasn't very interested in girls. Then I looked it up, found some resources clearly explaining that's not what being gay is, and walked away more secure in my identity. If someone had told me that I couldn't be wrong, because nobody knows how I feel better than I do, I would probably have come out and then been confused and insecure for years.
I don't expect Dell to change the mapping on older models to be in conflict with the printed label.
But if you're a heavy user of Fn+Left/Right for Home/End, you might want to consider a different brand than Dell to succeed your XPS.

The US needs to aggressively collect these funds so that they can turn around and send a big portion of them to Israel. A constant threat of draconian enforcement ensures that Palestinian children can be blown up with the latest and greatest military hardware. And let's not kid ourselves, the US is not a free country. Any discussion of these issues are quickly shut down (via comment deletion and/or shadow banning).

Barring lawmakers from investing in equities seems like it would be another barrier for non-wealthy people to be politicians.

EDIT: Why the downvotes? Middle class people use the stock market for their retirement funds. If you take away this ability or you take away the salary of lawmakers, you are restricting it to people who are already affluent.
Once you believe nefarious actors are running things behind the scenes, it's pretty easy to apply that thinking to almost any scenario.
Wow ToneLoc… that really takes me back. It’s so fascinating to remember something for the first time in over 20 years.
No, investigation or questions are probably merited given the scale of this thing.

Random fragments of what sounds like an investigation getting immediately published is the problem.
This post has a very noticeable lack of citations and vague terms like "huge" which make it very likely that you are speaking from personal bias rather than any kind of expertise.
They might just want to protect other secrets about the lab and keep everyone at arms length.

My bet is that even in China (which is not monolithic) different stakeholders are not so sure and there's major CYA between the scientists, the local managers, the Beijing-based leadership, senior leadership at all levels. Nothing good can come for any of these people if they allow the investigation to proceed smoothly. What if it's discovered that some totally unrelated incident happened years ago or that somebody was embezzling or did shady land deals with Wuhan lab accounts? The truth only helps people who are not involved. Everybody involved is best served by keeping their mouth shut and blocking any investigation.
> Do you believe a horny teenage guy would be willing to lie and say he identifies as female, if that means he gets to see all of his female classmates naked?

No, I don't. Living out that type of switch for any length of time is an enormous investment, which will change the way your peers view you forever. It is worthwhile if you're actually trans, but anyone else would be so much better off just browsing the internet.

That said, I also think single-gender spaces are in need of an re-think. Same-sex locker rooms inherently assume that people of the same gender can't be attracted to one another, which is simply not the case. So what's the point?
This is what I use youtubedl for. I don't trust Google to keep stuff I'm interested in available forever.

That's not really how that works. The life expectancy of an American male who already attained aged 75 is 11 more years.
Honestly though the question around sports fairness is less a problem raised by trans people and more just an existing issue exposed. Female and male bodies work differently on average but there are a good number of women more fit and physically capable than 99% of men - gender is not an independent variable in physical fitness but I do wonder if there's really much of a reason to keep insisting that the genders be separated into exclusive leagues.

Bit of a tangent here:

I notice he stresses the first syllable of his name. Is "McAfee" always pronounced that way, also in England, Ireland and Scotland?

Wikipedia gives the pronunciation as /ˈmækəfiː/, like in the video. Is it reasonable to suppose that if lots of people pronounced the name differently then at least one of them would have edited the Wikipedia article to mention the other pronunciation?
I wouldn't think of it as an ideology. I mean, maybe it is, but it doesn't seem at all bizarre. I'm not really aware of the details, but I'd be hard-pressed to name a difference between the two. I don't (think I) have a position on the issue.
Here is the key, from the article

> Also, Costa Rica can get a lot of rain. With consistent rainfall, their hydroelectric plants can produce a plethora of energy.

A quick search lead me to 2/3 hydro.

Of course, there are other reasons, but essentially, hydro is almost a perfect way of generating electricity. It is cheap, renewable, and comes with built-in storage. Whether or not it is environmentally friendly is debatable but at least, it produces no emission or waste.

The problem is that there is a limited capacity, once you have dammed all the interesting rivers, you can't get any more. Costa Rica just happens to have enough to cover most of their needs.

But if they want more, they will have to find another strategy, and that's what they are doing. I guess having that much hydro helps than absorb the peaks of solar and wind. They also have geothermal energy they can exploit. They can also bank on their reputation as a "green" country. So, IMHO, smart decisions on their side, playing on their advantages.

Maybe their old scheme, when divided by the number of videos, was getting to the point where it was feasible you could brute force finding unlisted videos.

The old scheme had 7.3 x 10^19 ids (11 chars, base 64, thanks Tom Scott!). Suspiciously close to the max value of a 64-bit int, hmmm …

Assume a billion videos and you’re down to 10^10 - a one in a 10 billion chance isn’t much chance, but it’s far from secure.

(I’m ignoring the fact that only a small %age of videos are unlisted I guess, but I think the point still stands.)
> What little research exists on the topic says that most of those girls will grow out of their gender dysphoria, and well-meaning attempts at gender reassignment surgery for them will backfire.

Except... people don't perform gender reassignment surgery on children just going through puberty.
This is a charged topic, but I'll try to answer objectively without trying to argue whether the reasons are good or bad.

I can think of two reasonable reasons why someone wouldn't want to investigate the matter:

1. It would be embarrassing for China.

2. It may be hard to properly communicate or convince people of the difference between an accidental lab leak vs. an intentional lab leak which could add fuel to a fire of jingoism/nationalism in other countries.

Again, I'm trying hard not to make a judgement here. Hopefully I did a decent job.
- Prison time here in Germany is limited to 15 years at max

- People imprisoned for violent crimes may stay there for their whole life if they pose an ongoing threat to public safety.

So... Germany DOES have a life sentence. Kinda misleading to state it doesn't.
Genetics are unchangable (kind of, mostly)

What specifically is your question?
The battle has very much leaked off-campus, and not just in sports. One intense area of disagreement involves the rights of trans children to medically transition without their parents' knowledge or consent. Research consistently shows that most children who identity as trans revert to their original gender identity post-puberty [0]. However, more states are now enabling children to seek and obtain irreversible gender transition care on their own, without parental consent, to include surgery and hormone therapy [1]:

>[Seattle] minors age 13 and up are entitled to admit themselves for inpatient and outpatient mental health treatment without parental consent. Health insurers are forbidden from disclosing to the insured parents’ sensitive medical information of minor children—such as that regarding “gender dysphoria [and] gender affirming care.” Minors aged 13 to 18 can withhold mental health records from parents for “sensitive” conditions, which include both “gender dysphoria” and “gender-affirming care.” Insurers in Washington must cover a wide array of “gender-affirming treatments” from tracheal shaves to double mastectomies.

>Oregon passed a law permitting minors 15 and older to obtain puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries at taxpayers’ expense—all without parental consent. In 2018, California passed a similar bill for all children in foster care, age 12 and up.

Similarly, in a Canadian family court case involving a 14 year old trans child [2]:

>Attempting to persuade AB to abandon treatment for gender dysphoria; addressing AB by his birth name; referring to AB as a girl or with female pronouns whether to him directly or to third parties; shall be considered to be family violence under s. 38 of the Family Law Act.

In the event where the trans child de-transitions post-puberty, these procedures may leave them with severe body dismorphia or render them unable to produce or bear children.

I don't have kids (yet), but I had body dismorphia as a young adult. It almost killed me, but I grew out of it in time. Fortunately, it wasn't the kind that compelled me to seek life-altering medical procedures. I fear that my future child may suffer from a similar case of temporary body dismorphia, seek and obtain permanent life-altering procedures which I am legally unable to prevent, and later come to deeply regret the damage done to their body by these procedures. Again, the best data we have on trans kids shows that most choose to revert to their original gender identity post-puberty [0].

Wow, like Aaron Swartz, McAfee gave his "final middle finger" to the US Gov't. - - now he is a martyr.
And yet that same sort of "village culture" of adults in a neighborhood looking after the kids collectively was very common in America throughout much of its history; co-occurring with individualism.
Wow, I envy you. We don't get a lot of choice in Upstate NY. You're lucky if you even get 2 candidates for a lot of the smaller races.

I'm probably over-generalizing but I still think this disparity is a result of low/med density vs high density like NYC. You're always gonna have more choices in high density areas, and I'm definitely in favor of more granular signals whenever possible.

I'd love to see an IRV where you don't have to obey any strict ordering rules (which I guess is like score voting where the max score is the number of candidates) which I guess might be a thing?
There is a big difference between illegal tax evasion and leveraging existing tax code to reduce your taxes as much as possible.
1) There's no reason you can't look for a job before quitting your current one. In fact, you should always be looking for better opportunities, no matter how much you like your current job.

2) Is it harder for parents, single or not? Yea. Yet these are the people you most often see make the change. They have the right motivation, moreso than singles their age without kids.

3) The fact that the low paying job exists, and will always exist, doesn't mean you have to be the one to do it forever. Or anyone else.

You get a job, you get experience, you move on to a better job, and someone with less experience takes over your old job. The world turns.

Ask HN: Anyone else notified they were part of a DigitalOcean subpoena?
While searching my email for something unrelated, I saw an email from "Legal @ DigitalOcean" with the title "[DigitalOcean] Notice of Subpoena".

Assuming it was spam/a scam, I used VirusTotal to scan the PDF, but all the results indicated it wasn't malicious. Upon reading the 9-page document, there is nothing specific to me as far as I'm able to tell. The document was sent to DO on May 6, 2020 and requested "subscriber information" on 18 IP addresses, each from a specific date/time (PST) sometime in April of 2020. The subpoena was issued by the USDOJ Norther District of Georgia.

Despite knowing I've not done anything illegal or even "questionable" I'm assuming my droplet maybe got caught up in some malicious activity. Some time ago, I got a message from digital ocean that one of my droplets showed port scanning activity at which point I deleted the droplet entirely. The droplet had hosted some open-source flash-like games but never took off.

The 9-page PDF can be found here: http://www.filedropper.com/gjsndodigitalocean

Has anyone experienced something like this. Is there anything I should be doing?
> Is one outcome preferable over another? Preferable to who, and why?

For me personally, I believe the outcome in which these feelings went away without me acting on them (by which I especially mean hormones and surgery) is much better for me than one in which they stuck around and I did act on them. And I'm sure I'm not the only person for which this true.

On the other hand, I totally accept there are other people for whom the feelings are unlikely to ever go away, and for those people, if they believe that acting on them is the best option for them, it isn't my place to disagree with them.

The problem is how do we tell the two groups apart? How do we help people having these feelings work out which group they belong to? I don't have any confidence that the current system is good at doing that. Part of the reason why, is that those who transition have their stories celebrated by much (of course, not all) of the culture, while those who remit without transitioning (or who detransition) are mostly hidden in the shadows. That ends up presenting the former stories as more valid than the later, something which I see as problematic.
If haven't noticed by the number of responses your comment has engendered, speaking in absolutes can come across as trolling. "You" don't justify anything; you live and affect the system you are born into. The united states are not united in what is desired from the "justice" system.
As use hugi said, that's exactly what he was, so why shouldn't we?
a and b want to associate, a want to associate with c, c don't want to associate with b, b doesn't care as long as he can associate with a, as per the grandparent comment statement, given that neither a, b and c did anything reprehensible yet.

everyone is free to act, but still a problem presents itself. what's the more just option for person a according to ethics and morals? that's the core of the conundrum, the right to associate and disassociate impacts other people freedoms, as such is the nature of interpersonal relations; of course individual have their individual freedom, but should A act on C prejudice, or in other word should C demand limits on A freedom (i.e. cancel culture)

mind you, the issue is about C own personal perceived feeling of unsafeness, not on B having done anything against C.

How is it "the same"? If the evaluations of the individual arguments can't overlap, then the C example's problem still exists while the C++ example's problem doesn't. And if the order of evaluation were guaranteed but the evaluations could overlap, the C example wouldn't have a problem but the C++ example still would. To me the two problem's causes seem quite different.

Strawman. Nobody, even China, argues it's bad to investigate. Everyone just wants the investigation to be free from political interference.
It'd be interesting if Google had made this only apply to accounts that have had activity in, say, the last six months. If an account logs in and was skipped due to inactivity, it would then be appropriate to prompt them for their decision.

That, of course, requires significantly more engineering so I can see why it didn't happen.
