What you've linked to is a DIY HRT guide sponsored by her. This is an essential resource for trans people in most of the world -- not all parts of the world are as progressive as the San Francisco Bay Area.

There's no mention of minors on that website. It's not reasonable to try and restrict this information from minors either.

edit: responding to post from deepdriver below: your first link is from a vicious transphobe who in the very first line misgenders trans women and girls, and the second post has blatant anti-Semitism in it within the first couple of sentences. Also, the packaging is pretty cringe, but saying that it is explicitly targeting kids is ridiculous -- I've seen plenty of adults with that aesthetic.

If you really care about unlicensed pharmacies on the internet, you would encourage easier access to HRT so that trans teens don't have to resort to this.

edit: responding to other post from Banana699 below: The thing that separates you and me is that the scientific evidence clearly indicates that gender dysphoria is real, and that social and medical transition is greatly helpful. My "ideology" is to follow the science, understanding that it has limitations but that it is the best known way to understand reality.
Unfortunately the author of this PR decided to include garbage like this [1] in it, so this PR is pretty useless.

No, many interview loops have sections basically about 'how well do you work well with others / not a jerk'. Someone with social skills, leadership skills and software skills is definitely valued.
Glad to see someone consider it. Black person here (I'm just one, mind you, not speaking for everyone). While there are other shifts in tech language that I'm glad we made, I personally am pretty cool with this one.

I think it's because anyone with a brain knows that the concept of an actual "Master Race" is so hilariously stupid and ridiculous that this serves to, among other things, make fun of that concept as well -- given that being a "PC person" is at heart nothing at all like "identity," one can switch to this or that side at will.

Financial info are easy to change. Financial info that is stolen and used won’t hold the victim liable for the damages (in us). SSN is basically universally leaked and also deterministically generated. Again, no harm to victim for any fraudulent uses.

Address isn’t likely to change. Especially not due to a leak. Phone number changing is a PITA even if easier. Date of birth can’t change ever really.

Looks like the NSA puzzles are a lot harder.
So that's not cool, I don't see anyone saying "go to their home" in those screenshots but I get the implication. So my question is, when will there be criminal charges? If this is directed incitement it's criminal, has anyone been charged or convicted for it from kiwi farms?

Are you thinking perhaps of this [1] PyCon talk by Tavis Rudd, who had RSI and a rotator cuff injury? He demos a voice command system that's all short nonsense syllables, including with a few humorous video clips interspersed, and then explains it after the demo.

That guide is a useful resource for trans people of all ages.

If your gender dysphoria is destroying your mental health and your parents will send you to torture camp for being on hormones, then taking hormones in secret is the moral thing to do.

Doctors not performing tubal ligations on women and other afab people under 30 is pure, unadulterated misogyny.

edit: responding to post by deepdriver below, SEGM is a torture-promoting group (yes, conversion therapy is torture) funded by dark money. https://transsafety.network/posts/segm-uncovered/

Oh, and also, if your gender dysphoria is destroying your mental health then focusing on fertility is just patriarchy. At the individual level, reproduction is a morally neutral act. Improving your mental health is a morally good act, so it clearly takes priority.
AFAICT, the book is not really Eastern-specific. The author is a philosophy professor in Germany, and has authored philosophy books in German. He has his fair share of understanding in the western culture and society. Also, this book is from 2010, which predates a lot of issues we see today.

Yep, that’s why I personally don’t think the recent news about Apple trademarking “Reality” names has any bearing on the device’s imminent release.

That said, I do think we’re approaching an announcement since it was apparently demo’ed to the board earlier this year. I just want it to happen so I can get excited at a keynote only to go “holy moly, I’m not buying a first-gen Apple peripheral for $3000, Mister Tim Apple”.

They succeeded just fine. Most people don't have a use for a distributed operating system, so they were not commercially viable. Since many of them were never meant to be commercial products, it's not really accurate to claim they were unsuccessful. The principles involved work fine to this day.

That seems a popular sentiment in this thread. But there are of course quite a few unicorns that emerged out of Europe and there is of course the notion that a lot of the mobile networks in the world are running on software that came out of Ericsson or Nokia, which are the dominant options if you don't want to go with Huawei instead.

There is of course the notion that Silicon Valley has produced a lot of amazing companies. But it should be noted that a lot of these companies are staffed, and lead by people from all over the world. E.g. Amazon CTO Werner Vogels is from my home country the Netherlands. Both MS and Google have Indian CEOs. etc. And of course US companies have long been outsourcing just about anything complicated to India, Eastern Europe, China, etc. That's not just European companies doing that. That game was pretty much invented in the US.

A lot of silicon valley based companies have most of their development departments in different continents. Mot surprising, the local market is very expensive and you can get a full team for the same money that a single developer costs there elsewhere. And you'd be wrong to assume the local developers are better/smarter. There are of course a lot of talented developers there. But I've worked with and been impressed with teams all over Europe. And I've dealt with some US companies where I wasn't so impressed with their engineering.

The state of software development in legacy car manufacturers is not good. That's simply because they are historically not software companies and they are all struggling to adjust. What little remains of the US car industry after the Japanese and the Koreans took over is basically being disrupted by Tesla just as badly as the European manufacturers.
I love this. The sequence of technical changes was so human, fragile, unpredictable. I was at the beginning of my career in software at this time. It is a short time ago. Is the trajectory of software exponential? Depends on the humans involved, methinks.
They told me I could get a free credit report every year!
I don't agree with the "no estimates" sentiment.

My own view is that estimates are useful, but should be treated less as a fixed point-estimate prediction, and more as a single step in a kalman filter, with the understanding that the output at each step is probabilistic, and the number of steps is unknown.
I had a very difficult PhD advisor. They were a bit of a celebrity in the field and it showed in their attention to image and presentation, both of themselves and the work: speaking in inspirational profundities while actually expecting the opposite, obsessing more with the optics of the lab and work than the work itself, pushing for PR that distracted from actual research, etc. They were constantly belittling and dismissive to most updates while being unable to advise in a meaningful technical capacity, which fostered a stale air of depression around the lab.

I was once threatened to get kicked out of the lab due to missing an internal deadline for a paper draft, several weeks out from the official deadline (which is very strict by comparison; most other PIs were fine with students starting to write a week - or even just a few days - before the deadline). We were already working against our late decision to aim for a submission, and a whirlwind of academic and personal events made this a very stressful period that they were unsympathetic to. That paper ended up being the only accept out of the whole department.

I eventually /did/ get kicked out, after venting years of pent-up grievances during a mental breakdown for which I was seeking treatment. I can't tell which part of that episode upsets me more: finding out through a notification of my fork of my project repo being deleted, or that they did this despite - or maybe because of - knowing that I had scheduled counseling appointments. That they could do this without any warning or mediation - per university policy - hammered home the point that under the subterfuge of caring and inclusivity, academia still treats students like replaceable cogs in a paper mill.

I limped and hobbled my way to graduation and have since been much^3 happier in industry. From what I've heard of the department, it sounds like nothing has changed and controversies - some particularly heinous - continue to get swept under the rug. Academia is in need of a wholesale reset to flush out the toxic mentalities that breeds these bullies in the first place.
r/196 is more or less a general-purpose meme discord and about the spiciest thing I’ve seen is people dumping on landlords.

Finally, they made very crappy Android phone and local industry shrunk. So Japanese consumers now love iPhone because Android phone is a trauma for some of them.
I find it interesting how the marketing depts. have woven together EV powertrains and “lots of electronic gizmos”. Nothing’s stopping an ICE car from having pop-out doorhandles, nor an EV with crank windows.
Everything in my experience aligns with what this post states. The best teams had processes that they developed themselves, organically.

However, there is a very real, pressing need from middle management to answer “what’s going on with X” when upper management asks. “I don’t know” is not an answer and neither is “we don’t know when it will be done.” These conversations ultimately control the flow of funding. So we make up these elaborate games to create guesses for these conversations. Sometimes the guesses are close, other times not.

I don’t know what the answer is, but there exists a gulf between what developers and managers need. Both needs are equally valid.

This is how select bus service buses are supposed to work in NYC. You buy a ticket before getting on the bus, and fare checkers randomly get on (haven’t seen on since I’ve started riding again this year, but its maybe a few times a month). If you don’t have a ticket the fare checkers round the evaders up and give them tickets. In the before times people would ask for your ticket as you got off.
Straight-up incompetence on the part of the systems integrator or designer. I'm so tired of this shit, especially when entry of an account number is essentially a REQUIREMENT to even get into the system.
When I read the title I immediately thought of PalmOS, and indeed it seems to be similar in architecture, with the major difference being that the database is hosted elsewhere.

There are many trans people who have been terrorized by KF, had their partners and parents harassed and so on. I'm not going to link their Twitter threads because plenty of people in this thread openly admit to being KF users.

You're not a law enforcement organization. You don't have the ability to investigate and determine whether or not the threat is genuine or if it's an agent provocateur.

> I'm interested if people have any horror stories of their own to share about abusive PIs

Things I have experienced first hand, either myself or graduate students:

* A male PI that hires attractive graduate students and gives them easy tasks to land Nature, Science or Cell co-authorships and at the same time tries to land sexual favors from them.

* A female PI that only hires female graduate students and is incredibly aggressive towards male students from other groups, trying to undermine their research.

* A junior faculty member who progressively asked some students to do more and more unreasonable tasks in a particular project so that they eventually refused. Got them removed them from the project clearly in order to get a better position for himself in the publication and to include some of his friends. All this close to submission.

* A group of junior faculty members who plotted to change first authors days before submission, without communicating with the downgraded authors. Needless to say, they upgraded themselves to first authors, without having contributed anything.

* Written threats to misrepresent research results.
That is amazing to hear, I would love to get back to those years through some existing software. The thing I most remember about Clipper 5 is that it had CodeBlocks that resemble today’s closures in most languages. Do you remember that? :)

My pathway right after was Delphi as well.

After it “ended” I contributed a tiny bit to the Harbour project but I think it came a little too late.

You're still able to run it locally even if the license change prevents it from being merged, and it seems to be a proof of concept that may inspire other people to optimize it in different ways
I've heard of two instances in my social circle of PIs turning on students for no good reason and divebombing their academic / research careers intentionally through the reference recommendation system you mentioned. (One ended up in software engineering, which they incidentally picked up while studying their other field).

- It is a pretty scary situation to have someone above you with absolute power over your entire career track which you may be a decade in to pursuing.

- It's extra scary that the system's incentive structure of can create feedback loops that reward abusive behavior and grow its prevalence. PIs have a certain realm of absolute power -> they can choose to use it to irresponsibly ride others to increase that realm. And there's little downside and possible recourse for the abused. Higher ups see: More awards! More publications! (Wait, where'd those students go...)

That said there are lots of good PIs out there doing awesome stuff and treating their teams well. Definitely worth finding ways to get the real scoop on the PI. Former lab members, for example, or anyone outside of the "just don't upset the leader" incentive structure.

Makes you appreciate how valuable it is for incentive systems to be tethered to financial reality and for the supply of job-slots to be rapidly responsive to success at creating value. Non-profits and certain pockets of politics are missing some piece of this sort of reality results tether/job-slot responsiveness as well.
I suddenly realized, it is -- just about -- 40 years since my dad got me that VIC-20 that let me explore BASIC on my own without using (and potentially breaking) his new-car-expensive Tandy computer. So I, too, am a 40-year programmer.

Shit, I'm old.

Weev claimed Stormfront had insiders at Cloudflare, CEO claimed not true
There are many archived Twitter posts where the owners of this site (Keffals and Chloe aka bobposting) brag about supplying minors with hormones behind parents’ backs, even sending these drugs to children directly which is highly illegal. The top “Homebrew” online pharmacy they link to sells cross-sex hormones in holofoil boxes clearly marketed to children, decorated with lolita anime art and “Keep Away from Parents” labels:

https://archive.ph/zZMRp

Hardly surprising given the sexualized Discord server called “Catboy Ranch” where Keffals, who is nearly 30, led many underage viewers down the path of medical gender transition. Some were as young as 13. Keffals sent them collars to show they were Keffals’ pets. Users engaged in sexual talk and discussed taking naked selfies. Ctrl+F “Catboy”):

https://archive.ph/HY4hK

I believe Kiwi Farms’ investigation of this activity, as well as Keffals’ failed career as a niche porn actress, are why Keffals seeks to get the site taken down. Of course, all this has been saved across multiple archive services and will never go away.

I find typing can be helpful. I think more about certain aspects of the problem as I type, so I often discover edge cases I hadn't thought about or potential performance pitfalls.

I guess it's a bit like navigating using only the map in the war room vs navigating on the ground without a map. The ideal route comes through a combination of both, and typing allows for the latter point of view.

Though after typing for a while, I'll take a step back and think about the overall solution again, going over it in my mind. Then back to typing.

That said, I gotta have a responsive editor.
That's weird. I cap out at 512x512 on my 16GB Ampere card. Even stepping down precision doesn't help. I wonder what's different.

Sorry that happened to you. It should never have happened. The older I get the more I realize there are so many broken people in positions of power in this world that it feels overwhelming.

My son, at college last year, ran into something similar, but much less serious. A professor on a power trip wouldn't let him make up a lab when he had a Dr's note he was at the hospital for walking pneumonia. He got an incomplete in the course and still has to take it.

Broken people in positions of power can due massive amounts of damage to this world. It's unclear how we humans can limit that. I believe the "woke" movement was, in part, a response to it.

I have no solutions.
