Have you never asked or seen others ask your boy(s) what girl(s) they prefer at school, or vice versa?

Have you never seen anyone upset if their boys are playing with dolls or their girls are playing with toy swords?

How do you think most parents would react if someone bought a pink dress as a present for for their 6 month old boy, or blue pants for their 6 month old girl?

How would most parents react even today to a children's cartoon featuring two little boys holding hands and kissing on the cheek, or a story about prince charming saving and marrying another prince charming?

Pretending heteronormativity is just some sex related thing that no one actually talks about is absurd.
They are bluffing. Despite fake metrics to the contrary, news drives vast amount of secondary engagement on their platform and removing the news tab would not remove the regulatory effect (news still happen in feed)

Worse for them it would harm republicans who rely on the radicalization engine and will respond to it in a hostile way. they are bluffing.

Not OP, 15 years of commercial experience, been writing code since 95. Only two companies did something similar to LeetCode, never prepared — last time I seriously took part in programming competitions was in high school in 2004 — still easily solved everything they asked for. One of the problems was actually famous n queens — which I remembered as a problem, but didn't remember the solution for. Solved it in 40 minutes (with an uncommon solution, as interviewer later told me) anyway.

Most of interesting questions had to do with system design and debugging, soft skills (also system design and debugging, but of systems made out of people instead of code) and code reviews — with me reviewing their production code. Sometimes I got pretty stupid interview questions like remembering REST spec (there isn't one) by heart, but those were companies I wouldn't want to work for anyway.
It is not saturated. Not many companies laid people off in tech. They were just big names with bigger numbers but there are a lot of jobs. Yes, if you are only looking a MANGA-like companies sure. But there are a lot of jobs out there.
How many Disney movies has your child watched? Heteronormativity is 100% prevalent in nearly all media.

You don't even have to single out Disney, 99% of popular media will present heterosexual relationships as the norm, and children's media that shows something as benign as a same sex couple holding hands or hugging is viewed as mildly transgressive or at least newsworthy.

Gender non-comforming behaviour is 100% absent outside of maybe a "tomboy" female character (and even that seems less present than it used to be).
ChatGPT has quite literally nothing to do with tech lay-offs.

Ah yes here comes the privilege argument to derail legitimate discourse. You love to see it.

Your first approach should be a Wise multi-currency account.

Where Wise doesn't work the only thing that makes any sense are stablecoins from a proper issuer, like USDC (definitely not USDT). These are of course issued and controlled by centralized entities, making them antithetical to the very principles of crypto. They may as well be private scrip CBDCs.

Any decentralized/floating-rate coins are utter garbage for folks without access to meaningful banking systems in so-called third-world countries due to the volatility, embedded systemic leverage, high fees and potential long transaction times. These folks are the least able to stomach the 90% drawdowns (and 100% rug-pulls) we've seen market-wide. Frankly, I think the Turkish Lira has outperformed every major cryptocurrency for the last year.

What these people need are actual privacy-preserving CBDCs, of which there are exactly zero in the market.

Please put away the faux privilege defense. Folks of any level of privilege are able to comment meaningfully on the fitness of a technical system for purpose. Allow their arguments to stand on their own merits.
I agree. People think coding is the hard bit, when for most jobs it isn't.

Disclaimer: I am transgender and i have done actual research on transgenderism a couple years back.

I have seen this firsthand on some acquaintances. Social media has a massive influence on people and there are some persons specifically that have a weaker sense of identity (usually associated with poor development or some mental disorder like schizophrenia, STPD, or BPD), and those persons can be influenced to the point of actually, legit molding their own identity by their own media consumption.

This consumption in most people only plants seeds that will lead to questioning or trying stuff, but won't have a long-lasting impact on their core identity. So for most people this kind of exposition will be something either transitory or will just provide awareness. People grow out of it and it actually it's "just a phase" for many.

So yes people can learn to have a new identity if they don't have a strong core identity formed yet or if it is weak or broken enough.

OTOH, i am unsure what do you mean by a statistical over-representation of GD. There are no bounds set for deviation of the norm for the general population (i.e. normalized rate of growth of % of population that is transgender is not an outlier vs the rate of growth of other emergent behaviors afforded by greater overall inclusion and reduction of discrimination). The places where it is statistically over-represented, like on people within the Autism Spectrum, are under investigation.

In any case the risks of social media brainwashing are not restricted to stuff like disorders but go way beyond and i think the solution to this stuff is, like for many other things, more education and awareness of risks, tradeoffs, what is gender, what is identity, and how they work both intrinsically and within the bounds of social interactions.
No, that will also not happen.

More developers will get hired, because ChatGPT will not perform the higher function tasks most developers actually spend most of their time working on.

The reason this will happen, is because ChatGPT will be more efficient in performing the lower function tasks and there will be more of a need to put all that automatically created code into actual use, integrate it with Enterprise Package FooCPT, figure out what caused the product outage at 2am at night. And on and on and on.

Not to mention that ChatGPT will not be able to talk to your users about what they want next, convince your manager that that's the right thing to do and everything else that you need to do on top of the coding part to be a good developer.

What possibly will happen is that junior developers will have even harder time getting into the industry, because clueless PHBs will see ChatGPT doing all their work "for free". A few years later they're screwed, because nobody at the company knows how their applications work. Except ChatGPT...maybe.

>Would have to learn coding in earnest after I pick up algo design techniques from CLRS.

You're almost certainly better off learning to code first and then learning about algorithms once you've got a decent coding level. In a typical entry level coding job you can easily go a whole year without implementing any algorithm more complex than a binary search (if that).
Yes. Outright bans and persecution of homosexuality is relatively new. Effeminate gays were practically eradicated, Europe had the Nazis do it, the US had the lavender scare (because gay=communist), the Soviets under Stalin did much like the Nazis. This is why gays reinvented themselves into the hypermasculine leather culture starting in the 50s. It's why older gay men have negative attitudes towards younger effeminate gays and the reason why the same parts of the gay community look down on bottoms who aren't vers.
>salaries seem to be too low. You are often getting low-balled because "it would not fit within the salaries of the other team members".

Preach it! CoL in German cities is far too high for how low skilled dev wages are. 100k at 15 years work experience is an insult when you look at Munich/Berlin house prices and that new grads can get 60k.

And DW posted a YouTube video yesterday about how Germany has a shortage of software developers and they need to actively recruit from India and Pakistan. [1]

More like a shortage of desperate people willing to be low balled and a shortage of companies paying good wages.

Companies in Germany need to start paying ICs more and stop complaining about shortage of workers. Simple.

Ask HN: Career without being an employee nor employer
Not gonna lie, I'm a bit burnt out. I don't want to make any rush decisions in this state. Having said that, as time goes by I'm getting more and more confident I want to move to a career where I'm neither an employee nor employer (current status). Has anybody chosen this path? How did it go and what do you do?
The cryptocurrency buzzword salad is so dishonest. It pretends to own the basic public key cryptography, as if the only way to make a signature was to turn the world into an oligarchic dystopia where VCs already control the majority stake.

It's not even the Web, and while others have been advancing ML, all "web3" has done is ugly monkeys and shouting at people "have fun staying poor" from the top of the pyramid.
I think this begs an explanation.

The reason people detest regulation is because a) people detest the government and b) people think regulators are corrupt and/or ineffective.

But what people are doing is incorrectly extrapolating from one aspect of the problem and then falling into a trap of a logical fallacy.

It goes something like this: The government or the regulator is corrupt and/or ineffective therefore regulation is bad. If regulation is bad then no regulation must be good.

Well, in fact what the government does (at least to some extent, at least in some countries) is it takes care after its citizens. Even if this care is not distributed justly, equally, efficiently and competently it is still the fact that most citizens are way better off having the government than not having it.

Of course this doesn't mean we should stop pushing government to do better.

Similar happens in financial world -- people dislike regulation for all its failing but the truth is that great majority of financial players by numbers are better off with regulation than without it. By numbers, most players in financial markets are simple people who invest money for retirement but don't have enough knowledge to protect themselves from financial predators.

Case in point: crypto. Where regulation is thin or non existent and people get robbed blind right and left by organisations who have knowledge and resources to build schemes to extract wealth from smaller players that can't defend themselves.

If you are like me, saving your money for retirement, you absolutely want regulation. Regulation is your friend -- this is some government weight trying to make sure that at least some rules are respected at least most of the time.

There are financially savvy people who will do well regardless. Regulation does not affect them much -- they will make money regardless. Regulation is for small people like you or me trying to save up a bit and not loose it, because without regulation you are bound to loose the money sooner or later. Or you will pay dearly to protect your assets to the point where it is difficult to accumulate any wealth on your own.
Dude. You got an offer from Google. How do you not have confidence for the future?! Google took you! Who cares what the places that didn’t take you think? *GOOGLE* thinks you’re good. That’s a hell of a statement.

But getting a job at Google tells you that your overall skillset was not the problem. You just didn’t match the other positions as well as some others for some reason. FAANG level jobs are always hard to get, always hyper-competitive. You’re obviously good enough to be there, so the worst case scenario is likely that you’d have to leave the prestige of FAANG and similar. You’ll be employable for as long as you want to be, I’m sure.
The unspoken subtext of these hysterical articles is that they are only speaking about wealthy white people. The rest of the planet does not exist to them.
I think it cliche to believe it's strictly a financial decision. In fact, in the West (afaik) the middle and upper class have a lower birth rates than those below them.

Not to get subjective and fuzzy but children are a symbol of hope and promise. Any reasonable adult who is considering children has to ask themselve how to answer when the child asks, "Why? Why did you bring me into *this* world?"

Who has a good answer for that at this point?
This seems to be to opposite of the example GP was seeking. Unless you mean to say that a great many people (both in Brazil and internationally) were already practicing Capoeira before it was legalized...

Why do you feel you need to "show confidence"? If this is required for a leadership position in the company, then it doesn't sound like a great culture [1]. We should be above a platoon of chimpanzee, where displays of dominant behaviour is all there is.

[1] Admittedly, this is more or less required for leadership position in large organizations - but none of them have good management culture. They companies are usually rich and stable enough for management to become irrelevant and degenerate into Game of Throne-esque turf wars.
I strongly agree with this! I expected a slight improvement of life, but it has actually been massive. You do get used to it really fast, but when you are being conscious about it a lot of the small things are an order of magnitude easier now that you can properly see without help.

From a simple shower where you see your reflection, finding your glasses in the morning, falling asleep with glasses or contacts, carrying an extra bunch of things when traveling etc. to none of those being a problem at all.

In fact this is what has allowed me to save enough space to do some trips with just a backpack, instead of a backpack + small luggage.

> Where do those preferences come from? I've seen first hand the impact that media, advertising, and social pressures at school have had on my children's preferences.

Sure, but why is that a problem? Our preferences are of course sculpted by our environment, and that's not a problem as long the people who fall outside of those norms aren't punished for it. Assuming those norms aren't harmful of course, eg. not good to normalize psychopathy.

Maybe I don't understand the question but of course a persons lived experience affects them. It seems like you've moved the goal posts.

What I'm pointing out is that OPs moralizing on good media "Anime, Books" vs bad media "Rap, Trash Magazines" is likely focusing on the wrong things. A person's friends are ultimately what matter in prioritizing values (as far as values can be shaped by environment).

But the claim about "gangster rap" (a term I don't like) was "that shit will warp your mind." is false. Moreover, Anime has tons of content that's way darker than anything you'll find in rap. But again, I don't think it really matters.
Did you actually read the article? This sounds like a blanket statement to rationalize your affection for the company.
I think you might be missing the forest for the trees. Barbies and lipstick are not exclusive to one gender, but they are associated with one gender. I don’t think it’s controversial to say that people in general will respond differently to a little boy who likes playing with lipstick and barbie dolls compared to a little girl.
There could be, but I think the presumption should be that it is normal social evolution to stigmatize minorities. Red-headed people, Jewish/Semitic people, people with cleft palates, on and on.

There seems to be a representation threshold below which any observable minority is considered undesirable. To the extent there is a “legitimate reason” it is probably rooted in evolutionary psychology for avoiding too much genetic variation in small tribes. I submit those fences are the opposite of Chesterton’s fence and can happily be ignored in today’s society.
The property you are selling is a piece of beach land in Milford on Sea on the south coast: https://passport.mattereum.com/West.London.Lets.01/

"The NFT is listed on the NFT marketplace OpenSea for offers over £1.9M"

That piece of land was last sold for £7000 on 20th October 2021.

https://search-property-information.service.gov.uk/search/su...

I know inflation is bad, but £7000 to £1.9M is an impressive increase in value, for a piece of scrubby beach that looks impossible to get planning permission for.
Thank you. This seems to me like the common sense approach to solve this problem IRL, as opposed to in a spherical cow world. It will work in 99% cases. In the rest, one can sleep with the lights on, or cover them (if possible).

Actually, you can’t do this. Negligence is one thing. Deliberately torturing animals, even if they are used for food, is illegal.

Scientific animal research has guidelines to minimize suffering as much as possible. The government treats this as a necessary evil. If you’re attempting to do this in good faith, it’s only morally wrong.

Many companies make illegal activity a corporate policy, but that doesn’t make them immune from prosecution if someone decides they have stepped too far over the line.
This is an impressive number. I often do advent of code but I never registered. I guess there are more people like me, so the number is probably higher.

Obviously <OUTGROUP_IDEOLOGY> always was, and always will be a mass sociogenic illness.
Then there's the third one that sees that there probably is some biological aspect, but the way it's expressed depends on the culture's concept of gender. I favor this one since it provides an explanation for the existence of trans people of some sort in every society throughout history without discounting nature or nurture.
It ties into a larger concept of gender roles (which is probably more applicable to discussion of trans folks than sexuality, "heteronormativity" was probably not the best word choice)
As Yogi Berra said, “Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded.”
Yes and you tend to use ^. in Haskell where you'd use . in python, say. And . is also an operator. Similarly, you'd likely be using = in python where you'd use .~ in python. As for ^.., I'm not sure there's an idiomatic python equivalent - certainly nothing as simple as adding an extra . to the operator.

I guess it uses steam pressure to push the water out of the tap anyway.

I see several examples where the tap seems to be integrated into the sink or actually just another setting on the regular tap. That seems dangerous to me.
> Over represented compared to what?

In the case of gender dysphoria, the obvious comparison would be, compared to a society where one can subvert gender norms and be accepted without changing one's identity. The emergence of trans movement has created a space where gender-nonconforming people can find more acceptance, but it comes with own set of norms and requirements.

One of which is that one must change their identity and, in many cases, conform to the norms of your newly chosen identity (certainly not everyone in the trans community enforces identity-based gender norms, but that's also true of general society when it comes to sex-based norms. In my experience, they're both about as bad as each other. I've lost count of the number of times people have told me that I must be a certain way or have had certain experiences because of my gender identity).
SIM-swap is a real thing, but it has an unreasonably large amount of mindshare in discussions about login security in non-security communities. Phishing is a gazillion times more common because it actually scales. Both SMS and TOTP are equally weak to phishing, yet people frequently shit on services for using SMS and not TOTP.

SMS has weaknesses. Especially if you are a particularly high-interest target. But the benefit of "everybody already has a phone" is immense and the true recovery mechanism for "oh shit I dropped my phone in the toilet" is valuable. Something like a yubikey is the complete solution to login problems that don't involve malware or some security vuln, but they are an extra thing that people need to buy so the pathway to "everybody uses a yubikey" is a mess.

Both Android and iPhone are now offering similar functionality though phones, which mitigates the "you need to buy a new thing" problem, though it is harder to set up an effective backup here.
