We use our best judgement. In my experience it's most often confused in babies because it can be difficult to tell at times. I do not get upset when they say my son is adorable even though I don't have a son. I accept the spirit of their comment and try to politely correct them with something like: Thank you, she loves to flash a good smile. Then I go on my way.
No. Like I said, it’s silly to insist that it isn’t a slur. The whole argument is rather silly, frankly.

There are a lot of shades of trans support, If you asked the most extreme questions you would probably get different answers.

It is one thing to ask people should be able can use a bathroom, and another to ask questions about personal sexlife and behavior. i.e. if you asked people if you consider transwomen equally with women at birth as sexual partners, I bet the numbers fall through the floor.

Intel and AMD do it in the memory controller. The caches, by virtue of being entirely on-die, are assumed to be inaccessible.

A lot of my historian friends liked that show, especially because it tried to focus more on the mundane issues in the Middle Ages.

Mr. Lawrence had a leg up on his rivals because he's the main character with practically a modern economics degree. So his ability to predict market trends and focus on important information is head-and-shoulders above everyone else.

Holo the Wise Wolf in contrast, is a minor, fictional pagan deity without much understanding of human culture. But her sharp wits gives her a lot of street smarts that stands above even Mr. Lawrence. It seems that she can control the yields of wheat fields to a certain degree, but since the recent invention of crop rotation and some fertilizers, her followers were no longer praying to her (and probably don't need her anymore). So she heads off with Mr. Lawrence (the first merchant to swing by after she decided to leave).

Holo serves as a good stand in for the audience as well: as Mr. Lawrence holds roughly 15+ different coins out and describes their relevant marketplaces, Holo of course gets bored of the discussion (much like the audience probably does).

Giving Mr. Lawrence "knowledge", while giving Holo "wisdom" allows the pair to balance each other out in their journeys. Especially since the basic plot of the show is "follow rumors to make money". Holo can accurately sniff out the truth out of rumors, while Lawrence can predict where the markets go once he's given the facts.

EDIT: In many ways, Holo serves as Watson while Lawrence serves as Sherlock in most situations. Lawrence explains the plans to make lots of money to Holo (much like Sherlock explains the situation to Watson, since Watson is the audience stand-in). But unlike Watson, Holo quickly catches onto the money-making game and is quite capable to changing the plan for the better. So its actually a very fun dynamic to watch the two. Just enough explanation from Lawrence, and just enough improv from Holo to keep things interesting, even though they're just buying and selling things throughout the show.

I believe that’s how most people in society invoke a numerically void word like the word “likely”.

Call my cynical, but time and experience has taught me that people do not back up qualifying words with the appropriate level of mathematical rigor.

It’s as if they want to express an opinion without doing the leg work or providing any citations.

Had he invested the time to calculate an estimate of likelihood, I’m willing to bet an estimate or confidence interval would have been parenthetically inserted into his remarks.

That’s what my experience tells me. YMMV
Awesome. The man had a wonderful sense of humor.
He was accused of making bath salts, and he was reported to be involved with prostitutes and much younger women. His reported statements seem to confirm that, not deny that.

I probably won't describe someone as evil for committing victimless crimes. But MPDV is a hard drug that's connected to serious, graphic crimes. I believe he was involved with trafficked women in third-party countries, that's rape. So I easily believe both the murder and rape accusations.
No black band for McAfee?
Weird he never provided any proof of his claims about that. You would think that if he was invested enough to put his own life in risk(according to him) to find out the extent of corruption among officials in Belize, that he would, perhaps, release the information in some manner instead of just pretending like it never existed.

And what was the thinking of the officials who allegedly received the laptops? "Oh no, the man who gave us free laptops has been reading everything we've done on these laptops. Let's plan his murder on these laptops now. Don't worry about finding his address, it's just some home north of San Pedro right? Just go kill a guy and it must be John"

Use the bathroom you are comfortable using.

Gendered bathrooms are a concrete expression of the fact that it is gender that is the major fault line through our society. The fact we need them is a damming indictment on our society (on men probably)
I am a man, and I don't want to go in to the same bathroom as 5 other men, especially not of they are a group and drunk. The reason is simple: I have found it much more common for men to take pleasure in having power over other people by threat of violence.

They are assholes of course, but that shit is pretty common. I would even claim that anyone that says otherwise probably never did more than 4 pub rounds. Or went to a public school.

This was very easy to find, and makes me question your position that you weren't aware of it.
There was a whole civil case about it in the US. So while that doesn't prove he committed murder beyond a reasonable doubt, it means the preponderance of the evidence suggests he did.
NFTs are a tool. If they can convince regulators they are art, then they can be donated, and you can write it off on your taxes. You just need a service that produces estimates of value.

The one good thing about NFTs is the ability to manipulate prices legally (just like they do with art), and create arbitrary value out of nothing.

If the main point of cryptos is speculation, not payments, then NFTs are a better crypto. You can better inflate them and sell them, the only problem is you need to create demand, which is harder if you are not a celeb. Better to partner with someone well known and split the profits.

> I am implying pointing out that the idea of sex as a discrete variable with two choices in humans is wrong.

> the gametes are eggs or sperm ... there is no law of nature that ... there aren't intermediate states for any specific dimension

Sorry for butchering your sentence but wanted to respond very specifically.

Sex, which is by far not exclusive to humans, has one primary purpose and that is sexual reproduction. And quite a lot there is governed by laws of nature. There are 2 sexes and not 1 or 3; 1 means cloning yourself and that does not introduce sufficient variance to fight against environmental change, 3 partners are combinatorially more difficult than 2 to bring together. Why gametes are dimorphic; sexual reproduction only needs exchange of genetic material, but the initial cell needs tons of other organelles to bootstrap. A process where either gamete can bring any of the organelles is exponentially more error prone and difficult to coordinate. Hence the small gamete having the bare bones mobility machinery to bring the genetic material to the heavier gamete.

There is no gamete that's between sperm or egg. Even in super rare species where an individual can change sex (some fish does this) they switch to their sex matching gamete entirely, and don't produce an inbetweener.

We can talk about continuity among secondary manifestations of sex, we can talk about fluidity of gender roles etc. and all would be fair game. But we can't call sex anything other than a discrete, binary category without destroying its scientific, cross-species, cross-millions-of-years, universal definition.
The scary part is that researchers have been working on making software more reliable for the past ~50 years, with really good results. Industry? Nah, except for a few niche cases, we've been adopting a worse is better approach, thank you very much.

It's only been a few years since developers (outside of these niches) stopped laughing when hearing about sound static type checking, static analysis, model checking, object capabilities, abstract interpretation, message passing APIs, getting rid of NULL, reactive programming, stream programming, let it fail, transactional memory, linear types, etc.

Of course, at the same time, we moved everything to web programming, where everything is broken for different reasons. Research has been studying that for a couple of decades, too, so I figure we should start using more robust paradigms within 10-20 years.
We're dangerously getting into "no true Scotsman" territory here. Even being as charitable as I can, it just seems that you don't like the data because it doesn't fit your narrative.
I made a claim about ideology. You made a claim about medical professionals. That is not particularly relevant to what I claimed.

I stand by my claim. The online echo chambers that children, including my own, seek out very much push the ideology that any claim to be male, female, non-binary or whatever must be accepted at face value. And that the person who is making the claim should have the right to any treatment that they wish, up to and including surgery.

As for criticism of the research that exists, I agree that it isn't very good. But then again, most research in the social sciences isn't very good. See the Replication Crisis. Or as we used to say, news at 11.
Americans murdered him because he refused to help them spy on everyone with his software like other western companies do?
> As to your second point, we often hire underage people to do work such as restocking shelves. If sex work is truly the same as retail work would you also argue that hiring an underage prostitute is no different than when Walmart hires a 15 year old to push carts? If not, what's the difference?

I don't find this argument compelling. Are you saying that the only professions that are morally permissible are those that we would allow fifteen-year-olds to do? We don't allow them to bartend, drive trucks, nor be members of the US Senate, but I find it silly to think that fact makes those professions particularly immoral. 15 year olds aren't even allowed to work 40 hour weeks in most countries.

And, to answer your question, I think the answer is that the fifteen-year-old is not sexually nor emotionally mature enough to engage in prostitution. (Just like they are not mature enough to serve alcohol or drive, whereas they are likely emotionally mature enough to push carts.) They're below the legal age of consent by three years, for goodness' sake! Advocating for legalized and regulated prostitution is not equivalent to advocating for pedophilia, and I find the equivalence you've drawn troubling.
The court of public opinion does not operate on the same rules as a court of law.

Most people still believe OJ "did it" even though he was found innocent. In a just judicial system, the accused must be proven guilty "beyond a reasonable doubt", but the general public are not beholden to such stringent requirements. People are allowed to evaluate the available evidence and come to their own conclusions. In the case of John McAfee, that evidence is pretty damning, and he's done nothing to temper its persuasion.
Well lucky you! https://youtu.be/i0dhBGZgJnk

> That's a strawman.

It is a dessicated vegetative hominoid surely?
Sure thing. Factual existential constraints totally don’t apply to a, your, „free“ capitalist society. Great to have choice, if you can’t afford any, eh? Seriously, your comment is exactly what I am talking about. I can’t even fathom your... Okay this will get ranty!

Capitalism has all the murders and atrocities you can think of. It’s just not attributable to a single entity, but hidden behind ideas like „not profitable“. Ebola vaccine anyone? Tuberculosis? Cobalt exploitation? Climate change. Peak phosphorus. Pollution. How many annual death in the US are preventable with a better welfare system? I shiver when privileged Americans talk about social darwinism like it’s a good thing, and it makes me sick that you celebrate videos of people being generous to some poor fucks on the streets. Aww, he bought him shoes! Is it the projection into the imbalance of power? One day being the one to let another live? And GoFundMe campaigns for cancer treatment… W.T.F. Maybe I am missing some degrees of freedom those people indulge in, or maybe…

Monetary profit is not a metric for human welfare, no matter your narrative need for it to be. If you put systemic pressure on profit, you won’t select for prosperity and our collective future‘s benefit, but optimize for - can you guess? - monetary profit. Your economic dogma is called overfitting. Don’t mix up correlation and causality, when bringing up stats about global developments. That’s just bad science and you should know better, with the best education system in the world. Or is that an „anyone, but not everyone“ kinda thing too? Or did you sign an NQA to get the crippling credit for your degree? Sorry, what do I know about those things being oppressed by collectivized European education… Funny how not being 100k in debt kinda gives you the illusion of freedom. Like choosing a job I like, over one which frees me of that debt. Or maybe I just travel a bit, maybe to America, and educate my self on real freedom. Working can wait, what’s more important than understanding freedom?

Most academic economists don’t believe in the whole unregulated free market fantasy, anymore. For quite some time actually. That’s an American culture thing, believe it or not. Turns out, humans are not really rational actors. Who would have thought? Don’t trust me, tho, look it up, or ask economists (real ones, not some tech bro bitcoin investors): Most markets can’t regulate shit. And please while your at it, ask sociologists about 'freedom' and 'oppression'.

Really tho, have you ever allowed yourself a critical take on capitalism? Open outcome? Without defaulting to „Nice in theory, but communism…“?

I dare you, fellow human <3
I think the difference between treatment of mtf and ftm can be mostly boiled down to difference how males being female spaces VS females being in male spaces is perceived.

For trans exclusionary feminists one is the patriarchy coming to female protective places and females claiming their place and undermining the patriarchy. As for parents males being less susceptible to forceful sexual exploitation is true but there is also a huge societal double standard when it comes women forcing themselves on men or abusing their male partner which is also reflected in parents being less worried about something happening to their children. Possibly also because of pregnancies onesidedness.

Wow, we haven't used Github for years because it was missing this feature. I saw the new beta and looked if they supported cross-repo issues, and was disappointed. Turns out, they do? They just make it very hard to discover? Odd. Seems like low hanging fruit to fix.
It’s important to also understand where this might fall down: many tools fetch automatically and this can cause issues with reliability here.
LGBT+ are humans. And humans rights are for all. I tend to ignore articles about squabbling but groups influence change and adaptation is key to getting along [1]

I learned new terms in the article like TERF and gender-critical. I'm sure there will be more jargon and terminology to fill the DEI consultancy industry. Not sure of the downstream effects but so far my USB cables are not gender fluid, but maybe that is not a good thing. Meanwhile, the globe is warming.

Try these three things -

1. Strength training with dumb bells/machines. If you can't go to the gym, buy the dumbbells and do squats, etc.. Form is important.

2. If you're male, go on nofap. You may not believe it but go on nofap for a month and you will see the difference. If it works for you, do it permanently.

3. 8 hours of sleep.

These should automatically improve your focus/motivation and solve depression/anxiety.
