> The university should only allow speakers that the students agree with?

I was very clear that was not what I was saying, I said literally the opposite, so it seems like you didn't even bother reading my post.

> The university has the job of determining what this level is.

Exactly, and they decided that it wasn't valuable enough. I think they were right, you may well disagree. Either way, it isn't "academic freedom" under attack—as this is framed.

There will always be people pissed they don't get that platform for their idea—more people want a platform than there is time and budget to offer. It is a decision about the value of exposing students to the idea weighed against the cost of doing so.

If other students feel they are being denied value, they are free to go to the University and push back. Of course, we all know where this is going, just as with the reactionary response to homosexuality, it will become increasingly unpopular because the cat is out of the bag: people have trans loved ones and don't want them to be discriminated against.
I mean you could ask him but I'm pretty sure he'd say the SEC is out to get him.
Yes, that quoted text follows from the “seems” bit. If that premise is wrong, then you’re off the hook! That’s precisely why the “seems” was there to begin with!

For no other reason than he is part of the story of the tech community and has a fascinating history I voted yes. My expectation is that the broader community wouldn't want to associate with it and say no.

Puberty blockers are a pretty nifty tool to this end - they allow any hard committal to be deferred - the child can reverse their decision without any serious long term ills. I am rather concerned about the possibility that invasive surgery might become normalized in non-adults but I don't believe it's something that's close to happening.

Teenagers explore their identity in a number of vectors. I have always been strongly opposed to parentally imposed career choices and gender falls into this same category except there is some genetic predisposition that will carry on bodily changes unless proactive intervention is undertaken.
How many rich people do get charged for tax avoidance? Often times I feel like there's a whole class of rules which mainly exist to punish you if you step out of line. Take for instance gun permits in blue states.

Not saying that he didn't avoid taxes egregiously enough to get caught, just interesting to consider.

If truth is unknowable next best thing to care about are feelings.

And you pretty much can't disprove lab leak idea at this point because there can't exist any sufficient evidence against it to convince people who believe in it.

Even if you just personally let them inside the lab and gave them access to all documents the only thing they would find would be next suspicious clues regardless of what would actually happened. And even if there was very little they managed to find suspicious they'd say it's because evidence was removed and they are being lied to.
Yep. If this worked properly and the metadata went out with the video so should the entry. The blank entry is absolutely useless

This is a straw-man, nowhere do I argue that "ease of comparison is a means in which to determine the validity of a comparison." I do, however, argue that the comparison of murder rates in gen pop to the murder rates of trans pop is a valid comparison. Perhaps you'd like to elucidate why you don't think it is.

No, that looks like some kind of cryptocurrency nonsense. It's not clear that they even have a working product, let alone one which would be appropriate for the Linux kernel. (The discussion of a "decentralized" development model seems particularly strange, and completely at odds with how kernel development works.)
> discrimination can either be legal or illegal

Right, every nonrandom decision is discrimination, but in the US private discrimination is generally legal unless it effects a protected category; because of the rational basis test, in the US, public dsicrimination is generally invalid unless it meets some bar of justification, but unless a particularly protected basis of discrimination is involved or a particularly important right impinged, the bar for validity is very low (a rational relation to a legitimate government function.)
> What would be productive is allowing kids to use different pronouns

The debate is not about whether somebody can use a pronoun. It’s whether everyone else is compelled to use it as well. It’s the difference between positive and negative rights - whether you have the right to compel others to behave a certain way vs whether you have the right to behave a certain way yourself. Legally compelled speech creates a real Pandora’s box.

I think you should feel good for being respectful and for using whatever terms people prefer, but punishing people for not doing so seems wrong minded

I think this just shows that for most of these guys, the dollars are a way of score keeping, they don't actually care about the trappings of wealth other than making rockets or whatever, which is just another score card, who gets to go in orbit first etc.

So, crazy idea here, what if we set up a way that they can actually give their money to people who actually need it while they get to keep their "dick measuring points".

In other words, here is the score card for each super rich guy, Bezos, Musk, Gates, etc. etc. you keep your points, so you have your bragging rights or whatever, but people who are in need of help get the actual dollars which you obviously can never spend, cannot possibly need etc. etc. You give it to people who need it but keep your dumbass "karma points" just like the dummies on Hacker News who care about that or whatever.

> "there is no distinction between biological women and trans women,"

There is no category of women that is entirely identical, where you couldn't distinguish between them.

Some AFAB women can't give birth. Some of them have more androgynous bodies. Some of them are black. Some of them have different levels of estrogen, or grow up in different social circles that impose different expectations about how they should act, or provide different opportunities.

Nobody is saying that AFAB women don't have different experiences than trans women, any more than anyone is saying that Black women don't have different experiences than white women. Womanhood has always been a broad category, and there has never been a point where you could accurately say that there are no distinctions between the subcategories within womanhood.

If TERFs believe there is a fundamental quality that makes them indistinguishable from every other woman, then they are being absurd. Even if you ignore trans women, that world doesn't exist.
The custom scoped labels in GitLab are very nice, and I found great uses for them.

I threw away all the default labels for now, and juggle just two custom sets of scoped labels: `urgency` and `kanban` (which column on the board).

All `urgency` labels are color-coded (red, orange, green, blue), and also ordered (for when viewing in the Issues List, rather than on the Board). I was using only the `urgency` labels before I added the Board and `kanban`.

`kanban` labels are all gray, and tie in with the Closed property of an Issue: non-Closed `kanban` labels can be `backlog`, `waiting`, `doing` (each of which have a Board column); Closed can be `done`, `abandoned`, `duplicate` (all of which are in the Closed column of the Board).

I'm mostly liking this, though still missing Gantt models and views sometimes, even in very dynamic/agile/responsive/reactive tasking. For example, even just yesterday, a few Blocked-by relationships are not obvious on the Board, as they're piling up in the `kanban::waiting` column. (And finishing those tasks was an extra relief, so the Board was back to intelligible.)
McAfee’s story seems worth recording, and that story can’t be reduced to semiotic gestures without losing fidelity about the complications and contradictions in it.
>Using it only on "bad guys" is a recipe for the government punishing people that disagrees with them.

I think a big reason that sparql is hard, is it looks like SQL but has a really different data model. People who know sql tend to apply sql intuitions to sparql, which leads to confusion. But once you get past the learning curve its really not that bad.
Sure, you can see it that way. Or you can see it as attempting to make a different point casually without having to avoid everyone's personal landmines and bugaboos.
In English the word serves double duty (and does other stuff) - "Hey Mr., can you tell me which way it is to the subway station" is a perfectly natural sentence. They can even be anonymized nouns (similar to la blanca - referring to a white house depending on context) - "Oh, I was going to wait to open the bottle until the Mrs. gets back". Lastly you've got the example I had in my prior comment "Oh sorry, I actually wanted to speak with Mrs. Smith - can you put her on the line?" where it is functionally, I think, an adjective though the dictionary considers it a noun in that usage.
It's really not complex. "Trans women are women" is directly comparable to "Adoptive parents are parents". It is a statement that biology is not the important factor generally, identity is.

The supposed fear that people believe there is some magic change to your chromosomes the second you chose to identify with a gender is patently absurd. There is obviously no real support for such an idea—it is a straw-man that no one reading the phrase "trans women are women" in good faith and taking even a second to look into what trans people are saying would assume was the intent.
You left out FICA, but it's also worth noting that the W-2 taxes have a maximum for the year, so the income bracket of 37% does not overlap with W-2 taxes.
People are doubting you but they fail to realize that the more intelligent the person, the more consequential functional applications they can see in everything around them. The difference between a baboon and a human genius is their ability to see tools and techniques by looking at what is around them. We might also consider that money, gold and other non useful items have valuable largely because very smart and influential people convinced everyone they do. The ability to persuade people of what is real and valuable is an aspect of intelligence that is in a class all its own.

side question, why do people who are poor remain in cities and heavily populated areas? Rural areas are much cheaper and the quality of life is much higher generally for the same dollar. Also in the city you and your loved ones are more likely to become the victim of a crime or wrongfully convicted for a crime not committed, addicted to drugs, incarcerated ect ect. It’s also worth noting that most of the US pop lives in city or highly crowded suburban areas, so although not proven its suspectable that most of the leading health related causes of death arise from conditions in those areas.

Moving to a new area is much preferable to an impoverished family trying to fight poverty in a system where the sample size is adequate to predict that they are in essence trying to win against a rigged casino game
You missed the point. Parent has very strong opinions ("evil man"), yet makes statements that expose lack of familiarity with the subject. I'm calling it out.

Why don't you ask if it came from one of the two US labs that do the same kind of research? Especially since we know the virus was present, globally, months before the outbreak in Wuhan....
Did it really not accomplish anything? Remember that Jim Crow laws officially ended in 1964 with the Civil Rights Act. 44 years later the first black US president was elected.

Most rich people evade taxes legally, by following the letter of the law but structuring their assets and income in a way that they just happen to owe no taxes.

The IRS are consummate bureaucrats. They don't write the tax code, they just enforce it. They enforce it quite firmly, but if you happen to get a loophole written into the tax code and drive a billion-dollar LLC through it, they aren't going to care.

McAfee made the mistake of open defiance of the tax code, and that's a big no-no. If the government starts letting open defiance slide, everyone will openly defy it, and there won't be a government. That's why they threw the book at him.

You probably can, but the people who are tasked with delivering training videos likely do not have the technical ability to do so.
This is a very common justification provided when employers say "no" to embracing fully remote work. I am not convinced that it is true either, but everyone assumes that hallway discussions somehow are leading to breakthroughs. I can see how chance meetings can be productive, and I can also see how they can help build good relationships. But I don't think there is a greater amount of innovation per minute from chance meetings versus other work activities. Are people simply mistaking a nonzero amount of innovation from chance meetings as innovation that wouldn't occur any other way?
> the problem can seem deceptively simple

Simple or not, the current solution is far from perfect and will be reinvented and will fail again and again until a better solution emerges. There is no way that the current banking/government/democracy/economy system will survive this century.
My girlfriend's father died when she was 4 and her mother was an alcoholic for many years, she still turned out great and got herself into college at 17. On the other hand, I know many people with tiger or helicopter parents who lack even the most basic life skills, have difficulty socializing, don't know their physical limits, or have strong entitlement complexes. Attention to child is a poor metric for quality of parenting.
Yea, that is entirely doable. Some transcoding might need to be done first though. The worst part is that you’ll have to get your IT department involved.

While we do have the special olympics, there are all sorts of classes of people who lack genetic traits to excel at sports and no allowance is made for them to compete within their own bracket - the only bracket we have is men and women.

I will admit that this is not a hill I'll die on though - I have almost no interest in sports as a profession so it's a fair bit out of my wheelhouse.
> intriguing new information for discerning when and how the virus may have spilled over from a bat or another animal into humans....linked to animal and seafood markets in December 2019

Amazing how the NYT is gripping onto this "bat origin" conspiracy theory for dear life. They present this as fact, then casually mention the actual cause is being investigated.

You'd expect the primary focus of this story to be the fact that virus sequences were "mysteriously deleted"...but instead it focuses on pressing a deceptive dialog that aligns with NYT political agenda. Shows you the current state of the media. Cancel your subscriptions.

I guess we'll have to rely on those crazy Q-anon people to actually investigate why these went missing in the first place.
It's been a couple years since I first heard about the story of him being a murderer and I don't remember what my sources were. Googling is slightly harder because this news is coming to the top for search results. If I sent you any articles it would just be from searching online right now (which you could do just as easily as me), so I'm not particularly helpful here.
Australian parent here. While recognising I'm a sample of one, Ive never seen or heard from many other parent friends trans ideology being promoted.

If you have some examples please share. I suspect you've come across an article pushing a an edge case that tried to make it out as normal. This type of media is common at the more extreme ends of whatever views.
It really isn't. If your goal was to make investing while in congress less appealing, you'd pass laws, yes, but also pay people more. AoC had made the point before that if you make congressional pay too low, it becomes only feasible for the already-wealthy to maintain a political career. Also note that being a congressperson has weird extra expenses, you usually need to have two homes, one in DC and one in your home state, so expenses will naturally be higher than average.

(this is one of the reasons that, e.g. Trump claiming to donate his presidential salary was frowned upon: Sure it sounds nice at first, but it implies that either he'll profit off of the presidency in other ways, or if that becomes a norm, that only those who can afford to donate their salary should become president)
That is strictly more than "all it took was a declaration."
If you're a nerd into cloud providers, web development, etc, then mabye that sounds reasonable. If you're some person in charge of training that has none of that techy background, putting a video up on YouTube sounds like the perfect idea.

Are you saying that it would be okay to have segregated restrooms if someone could prove a biological basis for the somewhat higher violent crime rate among black Americans?

Yes. If the restaurant had a history of documented safety issues and the relevant regulatory government bodies didn't take action to rectify it.

Btw, comparing a restaurant worker being sloppy and a supposedly BSL-4 lab functioning at the level of BSL-2 lab is not a good look.

Also, China's govt. has much much more control over a govt. lab than US has over a restaurant in California.

The analogy fails.
That's possible too, though I don't subscribe to the idea that a widely used pronunciation can be incorrect.
Is there a way to express distaste for racists that doesn't use the word like a slur?

HN has historically done this many, many times.
I mean, I'm not trans, I'm not in a place to note "preferred" nomenclature, but I moderate spaces where there are trans folks and "pre-operative", or perhaps "without bottom surgery", seems to be a neutral description.

With that said, the focus on genitalia strikes me as odd and really unfounded in the first place for a productive conversation.
