Being "gender critical" is the view that trans women are not women. Not to be confused with the "anti-gender" movement, which opposes anything other than traditional male/female roles, or with "postgenderism", which argues the complete opposite, namely that traditional gender is irrelevant.

TL;DR is that Maya was (apparently) fired for the first opinion, lost a first court case over it because being gender critical is not protected under UK, and won the appeal because it was after all.
Let's not confuse payments with loans (Europe is not Israel). Let's also not ignore the fact that there have been plenty of analyses showing that post-WWII Europe showed a natural recovery independent of US aid in several countries, and let's not ignore the shackles imposed by the winning powers on several technologies, not to be developed further.

This statement is also incorrect when referred to several key places the US have picked over the years (e.g. Pinochet's Chile or Syngman Rhee / Park Chung-Hee's Korea), and of course looking at the constant heavy military occupation of several "allied" countries, a fact without precedents in history, rather than the fable of "exporting democracy" this just looks like version 2.0 of the British Empire :)

Actually there is in the world of MMA.

Yes, and it shows. Anything other than critical or emergency care is of a distinctly lower grade. I thought it would be a fun idea to do "healthcare tourism", where I fly in people from other countries to experience nationalised healthcare. US citizens in particular would be horrified.

I'm both an Australian and NZ citizen. One of my parents is Australian and the other NZ.

Not that my ancestral line matters at all the legitimacy of my views. I spent 30 years living in Australia and I'll point out all the flaws I want.

Otherwise, nobody in Australia should ever criticize China (or insert any other country). But that's not the way the world works, nor the way I want the world to work. Everyone should be held to account. We don't exist in a vacuum.
Yes, the price of which will have been set by demand, which as for everything else, will be influenced by the supply of money. If we hypothetically gave every person one million dollars, surely you understand that the price of stocks would increase dramatically?
> I have a big one with people who insist that I must call them in a particular way. It clashes with the idea that freedom of one person stops where freedom of another person starts

So this would also apply to say, racial slurs and personal insults. Calling someone a name or the n-word instead of their name, that's a freedom? What about antisemitic slurs or insulting disabled people? How about just referring to women as sex objects, that's also within that rule. As well as doing the same for children or the deceased.

You don't expect people to be insulted by such things? Are you serious?

I don't think you actually mean what you say.
Best NFT Marketplaces to Buy and Sell Non-Fungible Tokens in 2021

It doesn't work that way. Companies are not liable for the alleged misconduct of their employees unless we're talking about specifically being on the job/clock when the misconduct occurred. Given Noah contracted, the company isn't liable in the first place and even if he were an employee, I doubt what Noah does at parties (I have found no references to the problematic behavior happening at specifically work events) is relevant to the job description.
Australia blames China for UN move to put Great Barrier Reef on endangered list
Sorry to disappoint you, but there's hardly a more capitalism-friendly organisation than a union. Their whole existence depends upon capital-based enterprises requiring labour. By seeking to standardise the units and price of work, they fall right in line with classical Adam Smith.

This is hardly surprising; the first priority of any institution is to perpetuate its own existence, so far from being at war with capitalism, unions are locked in a symbiotic embrace with it.

They may sing along to the Internationale but the lyrics are the Wealth of Nations.
> America and our democratic allies spent half a century fighting totalitarianism

Maybe they weren't fighting totalitarianism in the first place.
Because cops work for the government, which has a monopoly on policing services and the tax revenue that pays for it. The unions can therefore be far more abusive, as their patron and customer, which is the taxpayer and resident, respectively, is captive, absent these two groups being able to successfully organize a strong enough political coalition to counter the Democrats in the electoral process.
It sounds like you should be voting for parties that want to put more funding into the NHS then, right? Its both way cheaper than its "competition" (healthcare in other countries) and apparently lower grade than you want?

To me it sounds like there is a super simple answer to that - don't vote tory.
> I mean I have not heard of, say, German cops getting away with pretty much anything, thus probably not having the “cushion” mentioned.

German cops actually get away with a lot, too. There are cases where excessive violence is used (at least imo). However, it is not common. Same should be true for prison guard. I believe the biggest difference is that both are not thrown into the job after a few weeks of training, but after about three years of training (at least police training takes that long).

This is all just my opinion: I'm white male in my mid 30s and rarely have to deal with police, so obviously others might paint a different picture.

> Any monkey can wear a jacket and tie.

Not really.

Suits are flattering to the male figure because they smooth out the difference between a man's waist and his thighs, and accentuate the shoulders. That's not a fashion statement, that's an explanation of why suits are timeless.

With that said, they're fairly difficult to get fitted right. So wearing a suit that actually fits you says one of two things - you either buy new suits all the time to ensure that your suits actually fit you (in which case, yes, a suit signals that you have money), or you have the self-discipline to maintain your figure so that you don't need to buy a new suit all the time as you gain weight.

The fact is, either quality is desirable. It's those qualities that make suit-wearing the signal that it is. People who don't have at least one of those qualities, can't pull off wearing a suit.
I think the person replying gets that and they are right, she shouldn't be in such a museum. She clearly had a terrible childhood and I would hope people here would have enough naunce to disapprove of the theft whilst also sympathising with her.

A museum of human behaviour might be interesting actually, but framing really matters here. If it in any way encourages people to just laugh at them rather than empathising it's doing more harm than good. If it was literally going to be called "museum of crazy" that's a bad first step.
Flatpak is a good sandbox. It’s just they have to add a bunch of permissions in so that traditional style desktop apps can still function. You can crank the security to max if you want but it isn’t very useful if gimp can’t open files.

So flapak let’s you say that gimp should have file system access or access to specific folders. But the blog author takes the existence of these permissions as flatpak being critically insecure.
I studied Tilden's design of "neural network" when I was a young student. Even in early 2000's, his designs were popular, and he published a book. This particular robot was designed in the 90's, and I believe he had a more complex, spider-looking robot later.

What I found fascinating was that even with a few "analog neurons" he could engineer a complex behavior that was driving the walking gait, obstacle avoidance, and in case of solar-powered bots, sunlight seeking (thus sustaining themselves).

In this age of trillion transistors and massive GPU-powered neural networks, his designs may seem almost trivial. However, I always appreciated the clever thought that went into such a simple but effective design.
That’s true. But at this point, I think Chrome might have more dev-rel people than Apple has full-time Safari engineers (!!)

Before Chrome forked WebKit, they were doing the lion’s share of the work in WebKit. And even now a huge percentage of the security fixes in WebKit are credited to Google (according to macOS and iOS release notes).

You have to give the devil his due: Google has invested in the web platform in a way that Apple never did.
Are you sure about this? Not sure what you mean by "offset" but we are passing the last document of the current batch to the .startAfter() method which ensures that the next batch only contains the docs that come after that. So there shouldn't be any doc that is processed twice. But as I said earlier, the new docs won't be traversed which is expected. I'm working on a different type of traverser that will fix this.

I'll actually write up some tests to confirm that we don't process any docs twice!
The Game That Was Copied to Create Candy Crush Saga
I wrote up a too-long message trying to rationalize some of the repeated animosity directed at Brave Inc in almost every single Brave-related post (for as long as I can remember seeing them on HN), but I'm beginning to think even discussing it at a meta-level would prompt some of the same old repetitive arguments on HN and not be worthwhile.

Instead, I'd like to just respond to this small bit of your comment, if you don't mind:

>I keep scrolling further expecting to learn something salient about why I shouldn’t trust Brave but instead I see a bunch of people beating on a community rep.

A lot of anti-Brave comments are flat out wrong, factually incorrect, or just pure conspiracy/hate. A lot of other anti-Brave comments used to be true but aren't anymore. A few anti-Brave comments still are researched and reasoned.

But it feels to me like any and all comments critiquing Brave instantly get either heated responses from Brave fans and/or dismissed entirely by Brave employees, regardless of their validity, which doesn't breed good discussion and typically devolves into argument and/or personal attacks (even from the Brave reps, which probably doesn't help their brand image).

Brave has made a lot of mistakes over the years (both in bugs and business decisions they've since reverted). From the company/rep's point of view, they've made mistakes, learned, and improved. From the haters' point of view, the company's laundry list of shady scandals has decimated any trust left of what their reps say, especially when defending what looks like The Next Big Scandal. When those same reps dismiss what is or used to be a legitimate concern (for example, injecting affiliate links into URLs) as just "Brave doesn't do that", it only reinforces whichever perceptions people already have about Brave (those for-Brave see haters with invalid critique, and those attacking Brave see a rep gaslighting or dismissing what they believe to be true).

I don't know what the solution to repair Brave's brand is for haters, but it's probably somewhere between acknowledging the mistakes of their past (instead of framing every response in the ultra-present-tense "Brave doesn't do that") and/or providing better educational materials for people to actually learn how Brave works instead of just vaguely knowing "they hide ads, but also show ads, but also something about cryptocurrency, but only if you watch their ads?"
> Most US tech workers have around 20 days of PTO

Do you have any source for that? My limited research[0] shows it's closer to 15 - and sometimes, as you say, this includes sick days. It can't be compared to Europe where you have 4 weeks, guaranteed, for any industry, plus sick days - and many cou. Fortunately WfH greatly reduced the strain reduced with working in the office (commuting, open spaces, not being able to use your time more efficiently), but for non-office workers the problem still remains: you spend your life working and you barely have time to even stop and think why you're doing all this. Family life suffers, Cat's Cradle and all. It's all really wrong.

Because US-style unions are bad for top performers. Incompetent employees don’t get fired and seniority takes priority over skills.

Overall, this encourages everyone to act in the bare minimum fashion and the business will suffer when pitted against a motivated workforce at a competitor. Unless the business has a very big moat, it will collapse under the union bloat.

Optimizing project management with GitHub-Youtrack integration
(Previous attempt: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27601986)

Oh. Right.

Umm, so the goal here is for me to submit https://github.com/google/jax/issues/2108#issuecomment-86623... to HN. But there is no possible way to submit that url to HN, because HN strips the anchor. Without that anchor, readers arrive at some ancient boring crap that no one cares about. (Well, TPU nerds might care about the Jax history… but do the set of all coding historians intersect with the set of all TPU nerds?)

I was going to submit it, then edit the url to include the hashtag. But I forgot that I can’t edit urls on HN, so there’s literally no way to submit a GitHub issue reply as a submission.

The reason I’m trying to submit it, is because it seems intellectually interesting enough. So I wonder if HN has made an executive decision that “it’s fundamentally impossible to write something HN worthy as a GitHub issue reply.” Interesting…

I suppose my fallback plan is to submit my tweet announcing this post? https://twitter.com/theshawwn/status/1407412385074270217?s=2...

That way readers end up on the tweet, click through to the url, and then wind up at the correct spot. Then I suppose an HN mod might notice, and edit the submitted url to https://github.com/google/jax/issues/2108#issuecomment-86623...

Okay, I’ll try that. If an HN mod happens to read this, pls no hurt me for spamming HN; I’m not actually trying to. What’s happening here is that I’m trying to work around a very strange corner case in the HN software, where GitHub issue anchor links are stripped. It’s going to look like I’m spamming though, since this is broken url submission #2.

I suppose I could just delete this submission and submit the tweet, but.. maybe there’s value in attracting attention to this? I don’t know. I would email it, but I haven’t emailed HN in years.

Meh. Onward to attempt #3: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27602110
You'd be wise to be careful with stinky tofu, at least in many places.

The safest methods simply marinate tofu in fermented amaranth; the tofu itself isn't aged. But there's many approaches to it with and without questionable safety practices. I'm not sure comparisons to blue cheese or koji-fermented products are appropriate.

I remember ProPublica's story from a few days ago.

It was the very definition of propaganda: clearly biased, obviously wrong to anybody who has the slightest idea about finance and obviously working hard to push a foregone conclusion against an imagined enemy ("The Rich").

To my dismay, mainstream media, including the BBC, picked up the story as if it was anything else than bad journalism, thus offering it credibility. Because as flawed as it was, it served their cause.
For you, it probably isn't. But it isn't like the US makes sure everyone can easily get an ID even if rules state you should be able to get one for free.

> So, are you SURE that an individual that "lived in the prime of their life as a man" is just as strong as they once were once they have spent years on hormone therapy?

Yes. Male puberty confers lifelong physical advantages on the body in terms of muscle mass, heart size, lung capacity and bone density. That's why men dominate women physically in every sport, which is why women have their own special sporting categories so that they stand a chance. Hormone therapy reduces these advantage but it doesn't eliminate them.

> Is it fair to trans athletes?

Probably not, but then is it fair to wheelchair-bound athletes that they're physically incapable of competing with Olympians and so need their own separate event? Maybe the cruel reality of life is that we can't always accommodate everybody?
The NHS is a money pit, with endless layers of middle managers and expensive consultants leeching off the system. I don't think that pouring more money into it will fix anything. I think it currently offers terrible value for money, when you take into account the general quality of healthcare you receive at all stages of your life. Do you have a niggling pain, sports injury, or condition that turns you from a fit active person into someone who can only perform average daily tasks? Tough, you have to wait until it's a real problem.
