These treatments clearly don’t solve the underlying issue. The question is simply are they the best current alternative for a subset of the population. That is supported by hard data, even if the surgery is rather barbaric we simply don’t have the technology to do a better job while either keeping someone their old gender or swapping to another.

As to having a mental illness, that’s often how we describe issues we don’t understand or have the ability to treat. Stress ulcers are a great example of such classifications. I am not disagreeing that many of these people have significant mental issues, but calling something a mental illness isn’t specific enough to do anything with and tends to be used dismissively. Further once the underlying cause is discovered we stop thinking of say mercury poisoning as a mental health issue.
True. Much like Dropbox, the tooling exists beforehand. It's nice when a company brings it altogether, maintains the expert knowledgebase, and creates the process to be simple (including setup).

It falsifies to the extent that it demonstrates that you can build successful communities at scale, where people want to live, businesses want to operate, and things fundamentally work, without designing them around the positive externalities of widely owned and used private vehicles. More pertinently, in cities that meet the above concept (i.e. most cities in the world outside of N. America), there are few or no positive externalities associated with widely owned and used private vehicles, so "balancing" all the externalities essentially falls back to the negatives.

> small number of cities

Hilarious. The cities for which this is most obviously true contain a huge proportion of worldwide human population. And most cities in most of the world outside of N. America have this as a fundamental truth because of their history (in many of them, residents are coming to recognize the enormous downsides of superimposing private vehicles on a city infrastructure designed around other means of moving around).

So yes, it's true that if you design a contemporary N. American city around widespread ownership and use of private vehicles, there are some positive externalities associated with said vehicles, and they should be taken into account when quantifying the "true cost" of those vehicles in that context.

But if you for any reason do not want that to be a guiding force in the design, and maybe even worse, if you accidentally screw up the design, not only do the positive externalities vanish, but the negative externalities grow in scale and scope.
Then why Dropbox, Google, OneDrive many other cloud providers have cut back their free packages?

This is pretty classic r/iamverysmart material right here.
Does any of this cover the scenario of a customer applying an irreversible manufacturer's update that leads to the product no longer performing every aspect of what was originally advertised? The notion of "damage while in the possession of the consumer" gets a bit murky... I'd try to argue that the consumer temporarily placed the device into the manufacturer's possession during the update process, but I'm not sure if that would hold up.
Yep. On it. We will have a post up on https://wordpress.com/blog/ by end of day today.
Pointing it out once is potentially helpful.

Continuing to point it out after you’ve acknowledged it is called “nagging”.

It’s annoying. Really that simple.
An ICBM is typically at 2m in diameter. The F35B has a length of 15m. You will need even more margin due to vortices. This proposal is unfeasible. You will not be able to have a silo for each airplane. If you don't, it's again easier to destroy and impossible to rebuild.
Out of boredom I started working on a https://slidetosite.com, it's a website to turn slides (pdf/pptx) into websites. It's also an exercise for me to practice marketing and sales by applying what I'm currently reading. It's taking longer than expected to launch because I'd like to have the "legal" (german) stuff all set before moving forward. (UG/GmbH or some structure like that). I have 4 alpha users helping out.
Why I'm doing this is mainly to get a capture page/lead gen page set up very fast without having to learn a new tool and also make use of the "powerpoint skills" I developed as a team lead.
Next to it I'm working on a real time 3D map of the city I'm living in, as an excuse to learn webgl/3D in the browser, but this project is eating most of the time because it's more fun.

It's not smartphones or "straight to the bedroom". Online communities for teenagers have been around in some form since the 80s.

Now everyone is expected to be on social media and it is the main community for a teenager, not an escape for nerds. If you're not successful there, you're also an outcast in reality.
Instead of storing both pdf and source text, just store the source. The pdf is generated on demand, in whatever style you like.

Although, I had no idea PDFs were smaller than the input. I thought that they were substantially larger actually. But regardless, storing things twice is wasteful.
Not even in the same ballpark, sorry.
The study referenced - https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/5090039 - says that coders and non-coders find CamelCase easier to read.

But I'm eager to find counter examples.
It's worth putting this book in historical context. It was first published in 1986. Numerical programming like this was very much a black art and the book was an well researched, documented, usable set of algorithms with (mostly) working code. Open source code was a very new idea (FSF was only established a year before, and while there are earlier precedents like BSD source it was all very new.) Source code distributions were awkward; absolutely nothing like github of course, just a few FTP servers which maybe you could get code from if you knew they existed and had Internet access. Typing in code from a book seemed perfectly reasonable.
IANAL, but in the US, copyright on classical pieces tends to apply to the performances, not the music. For example, a Bach piece is in the public domain (the score and probably the MIDI derivative[a]) just from being old enough, but a recording of that public domain piece may be copyrighted itself.

As always, this isn’t universal. Check your local copyright laws to be sure.
> This is what I don't like about social media sites like HN either where only the rage will reach the front page

What is your point? That all those popups were photoshopped and don't actually exist?

Or what kind of headline about this topic would you like to see on HN? "Windows sometimes does not show its nag screens when you install Firefox"?
The title says "Pizza Prices Surpass Subway Fares, Upending Decades of NYC Economics", but the URL points to Wikipedia's "List of United States senators from Utah".
The discogs javascript is not playing nice with the current Firefox. I'm specifically referring to the "Show more versions..." control.

OK, found it! It seems that the desirable keyword is "Reissue" and specifically to avoid the keyword "Remaster". There was at least a Reissued but not Remastered LP in 2013. Maybe more, but that javascript is horrible!
That’s reductionist to the point of stupidity. They are also both words, so I guess there’s no difference between them and this comment?

Except words have meaning, and the differences between these meanings are important.

One set of words is telling you that you are not safe unless you use this browser. It’s implying you’re making a mistake by using Firefox, and in both cases it’s saying “the people who make your computer are telling you to use this thing”. Non technical people are easily fooled by this. It’s scary.

The other one is saying “hey, Safari exists” in the corner of your screen.

There’s a big difference between these two.
I’ve noticed this even with “nice” clothing brands like Banana Republic. I bough a shirt, and within two months it was ready for the garbage pile.

I’ve since switched over to the even more expensive Lululemon, which seems vastly better. Time will tell.

I’d rather have three very expensive shirts that fit great and last a decade than a tidal wave of garbage that costs the same in the end.
It’s literally chromium. I’m also a developer and have had 0 regressions on edge. If it works in chrome, in my experience, it works in edge.
Re: your addition--As an oldie on the internet, this has been through a few pendulum swings. I personally think it's fine to have non-coercive weird content exist (freedom of speech sans CP and similar exploitation) without it being shoved into people's faces (newsfeed). This let's people vote with their feet.
The things in the article happened to me. There is nothing wrong with the article or the response to it. It's not fake, since that's what you're suggesting.
At UNSW where I did my bachelors, Many of my courses had a battle of algorithms as assignments. One was building a Lego mindstorms robot that would fight other robots. Or follow black tape on white board to traverse a maze.

Other assignments would involve bots that would play yahtzee, connect four, chess and other games.

I spent so much time on these assignments trying to win that I gave only the basic effort needed to pass on other assignments.

At one point I stayed up 48 hours straight to gain an extra 1% advantage by rewriting all my java code in c++ so I could traverse more possible scenarios.

Fun days.

For what it’s worth, it may be pedantic, but as a non-native English speaker, it’s things like these that are incredibly valuable: it’s not often that people correct you on this level of “pedantry”, so you’ll never learn.

As such, thank you for this.
The mechanism I described isn't one to disagree or agree with. It's math: For <x> even parts with chance of failure on any given day <y> (including some variability <z>), the expected first failure is at some point long before <y>, because

P(no parts fail within the first two years) =
1 - P(<y>)^((number of parts) * (number of days))

Improvements in <z> have a huge impact here, quite obviously.
Ask HN: Could EMP weapons eliminate all war deaths?
Maybe any death in war would be considered a war crime if only EMP weapons are allowed?
Hm, right. At that point, I guess it's time to increase throughput, but it's a fair observation.
I was using and loved mataroa. It was the fairest, most painless option I had found for blogging (as of 2020.) I eventually switched away from it because the default font was small and I couldn’t change it. I wonder if this has been updated since. (At the moment, I’m hosting my blog as a static site with NFS. I go back and forth about wanting comments/email sign-up.)

The developers were nice though, and I used their source code to learn Django. Really grateful.

Ok, let's not talk about the duotone bit. Let's talk about patterns: https://wordpress.org/patterns/

Why on earth should I include these very beautiful and also very random bird illustrations and colors and typography into my website?

Are these "pattern" in the sense of reusable solution to common problems or just random and non-consistent design blocks?

Also, why on earth should I control border-radii, gradient, colors for every single block in the editor?[0][1]

This is complete madness. For two reasons at least: One, styles should be defined at least on a global level, using tokenized values and possibly exposed only to users with higher capabilities (designers).

Two, authors and editors should focus on content, not styling. Many of them are unable to take rational design decisions. Giving them the power of styling border radii or gradients on multiple buttons/elements in a random fashion on the same page, or even on the same website, is a recipe for a visual disaster.

Yes, you're right about how the semantic data may be stored. Everything else? I can still see a "lousy PowerPoint for the web" everywhere.

What's worst, is that they are pushing these bad design decisions really hard. Breaking existing websites in production. Maybe they'll make it right someday, at least I hope so, but it will take years time. This is why, as I said, all of this should be at least opt-in.

I’ve lost faith in the concept of brands. They’ve almost all been MBA’ed.

Hopefully the wheel will turn soon and product people will rule the roost once again. We need some MBA types as well, but there needs to be balance in the force.
Affordable housing, roads, utilities, criminal justice, social safety net, healthcare, or other social needs may not be profitable but are still needed for the functioning of society. Hence, taxes are justified as charitable giving is insufficient to cover the costs and a functioning society is almost universally desirable over autarky.

At least, that was my takeaway from your original comment describing the behavioral characteristics regarding the affordable housing market.
> Replying again because, apparently, HN loves to stifle discussion via keyword matching and auto flagging comments.

There's no such thing. People flag and downvote your comments, usually for breaking the guidelines[1], and 95% of the time I've seen people make complaints like yours, they're definitely breaking them.

> the fact that 20% of Nobel prize winners are Jews is not evidence of a global Jewish cabal

Two points:

1. when there are relatively small numbers of X, I agree that we should not expect the set of all X to proportionally represent the whole population. This leads to the question of what a "relatively small number" is, and while there is a mathematical/statistical way to answer this (sampling/set theory etc.), I think there's room for there to be a political/social dimension to it as well.

2. it is true that the Nobel situation does not indicate a Jewish cabal. However, it is interesting enough to raise questions about the specific histories of those winners, and whether there was anything about their being Jewish that helps to explain their success (I have no idea of the answer). Likewise, I think it is absolutely worth wondering where all the white rappers are, even though their absence doesn't indicate discrimination or a cabal.

I largely agree with your final paragraph.

Even easier, we could solve wars by the leaders of the fighting countries doing a few rounds of "Rock paper scissors". This also has the benefit that it doesn't involve nuclear weapons, which militarily effective EMPs do.
Neuroergonomic tactics can relieve cognitive burden
On the systems this applies to, probably not. There's not a keyboard shortcut to enter the UEFI and the reboot into UEFI from the OS option requires real local admin access which in turn requires you to leave S mode first.
I'm not saying that only people like Bernstein can do software, and in fact I wouldn't touch his way-too-close-to-suckless application level stuff at all, but I am obviously going to trust security specialists more than anyone else.

There are hundreds and thousands of them, sure, and I don't know their names, but they're still security professionals.

You may well be every bit as good as them. But I have no way to verify this. If I used code from someone not well known I would have no way to justify it. Even if I taught myself crypto(Which I wouldn't really consider the best time investment), I could be lying just like you could.

Someone else on the team would need to deeply understand it to review it. But in reality most people would probably either just rubber stamp it or say "Go use libnacl instead".

Protestware has shown the social process of trust isn't perfect, but it's all we have unless we get a crypto expert on every team.

I'm not particularly privacy conscious. I don't have a separate network for IoT. Using primitives developed by specialists is just a very easy low hanging fruit.

People of dubious character is... just software development in general really.

It's even worse in other areas of software. With crypto at least you have the option to implement it yourself, for better or worse, with large applications you just physically can't unless you want to spend years on it.

But there's still people like Lenore Blum though, it's not all men, and I don't know of any nastiness she's perpetrated.

Until people stop writing vulnerable code, it's pretty hard to believe anyone who says their code is safe without tons of auditing.
What do people that need shelter in the meantime do?
It's also worth trying an OS which respects you as a user (such as GNU/Linux)
How do you know they were dropshipped from alirxpress
Intuitively I expect that the earlier the pattern is set, the easier it will be later. I don't think chores need to be spun as anything other than what they are; I'm a fully grown adult and don't care for a good deal of them, but I have the ingrained habit not to defer them indefinitely. Once you get going it's not so bad, I do a lot of daydreaming during routines.

On the other hand, I don't think I would have a hefty list of expectations. You're only a child once. My labor expectations are low, I just want them to have constructive / creative go-to activities when playing. Overscheduling or putting them to work all the time just robs them of childhood experience that they'll never get again. Putting away toys and cleaning up after a mess is a reasonable ask, as they need to learn to take care of themselves and not live like slobs into adulthood.

In fairness though, that first behaviour you've described sounds like a straight-up bug. I very much doubt that anybody at Firefox HQ intends this to be the case.

I get that bugs can be annoying, but "my browser has an annoying bug" is a million miles away from "my browser monitors when I search for competitor's software and warns me that I shouldn't use it".
>We do study such effects. It's called a highly lucrative field of dermatology. Luckily, however, humans had billions of years to evolve alongside the sunlight, but phototherapy of all sorts is quite popular, and skin photo-damage is discussed at probably every appointment?

I said artificial light as in visible, not near-ionizing UV which has well understood mechanisms that lead to cancer.

There are multi tens of watt transmitters all around us for hours per day that nobody seems to worry about, yet everyone seems worried about milliwatt transmitters of much lower photon energy.

We have evolved to sunlight and yet we still get cancer from it and its due to the photon energy, shouldn't we be looking at artificial terahertz radiation at much higher power levels with more vigor than gigahertz?

>EMF and mast cells? Now that's really pushing the envelope. That sort of research isn't going to get you anything but a tinfoil hat. Nobody does it. No money or fame in it. Why do it?

If anyone publishes a paper that implies cellphone radiation causes health issues it gets quite a bit of attention, not really buying that there is no motivation, there are countless books and websites making money off these papers lately.

>N.B.: the SAR in that study is on the same order of magnitude as your iphone.

No its 4 W/kg whole body for 5 hours per day for 12 weeks unmodulated continuous 835Mhz, FFC regulates to 1.6 W/kg over the gram getting the most power (basically the gram of flesh where antenna is closest to your head).

>Demyelination if found in humans could mean dx of multiple sclerosis, a devastating illness...and ADHD-like hyperactive behaviour? Wonderful.

From the paper: "The rota rod test was done to determine the impact of chronic RF-EMF exposure on behavioural changes. This test is widely used to evaluate motor dysfunctions, especially coordination and balance. There was no significant difference between the control and RM-EMF groups"

and "The observations of autophagosome formation and down-regulation of pro-apoptotic factor Bax suggested a lack of neuronal damage."

They then go on to pick some slides of what might be myelin damage hopefully they didn't cherry pick them. Should be easy to reproduce the results.

The mice seemed to move more in the study so thus where called "hyperactive" hopefully there wasn't a buzzing noise from the transmitter or some other environmental factor agitating the RF group. Again this stuff should be easily reproducible in further studies.

>Could be safe. Could be multiple sclerosis. NBD.

Could cure MS, could give you superpowers as others have cited in this post have suggested, could be a teapot orbiting the sun we don't know about. We should keep looking but lets be level headed about it.
You don't need to lie, but you also don't need to disclose every single thing to your new employer. If you had a short stint at a company, just leave it off. If they ask, just say you took some personal time to figure out what you wanted to do next. I think that's a totally valid description of trying a new job that didn't work out. I know a lot of people who have taken years off for fun. No one questioned it.
