In summary, there's been a recent explosing in the number of people performing transition in the last 10 years or so (from around 20 people per year in 2003 to 2007, to over 400 people in 2018)... so the number of cases where we have information about this is very few, and those who used to do it in the past, despite the stigma, were likely much more "certain" that this is what they want.

But of that older generation, only 2.2% are known to have actually gone though a de-transition (the figure does not include those who did seek help but did not go through with the process)... however, it's possible that many more regret it but never tried to revert it, as de-transitioning is even more difficult, and perhaps even more "embarrassing" (sorry for the term, I don't know if it's the best word here as I don't think anyone should be embarrassed for that, but I suspect they do) for the person to "come out" than for transitioning. One doctor interviewed claims "a handful" of patients (5 to 10) they treated have regreted and are currently detransitioning. So I think my argument that "lots of teenagers" are regreting is accurate, given there's a lot of other doctors doing this in Sweden, but up to you to make up your mind if a handful of people doesn't matter.

What shocked most people was the fact that teens as young as 14 were allowed to go through with the transition despite them having other serious mental health issues (half of the girls had autism or self-harm issues or anorexia) and without a serious, properly investigated diagnosis. Some who regret have to keep their identity secret because apparently they get told that they are hurting the trans community by talking about it, so it's not unresonable to believe at least some people decide to keep quiet about their regrets.

Finally, researchers in this area seem to agree that there's almost no data regarding the long term impact of transitioning and hence the process should be much more scrutinized than it currently is (some of the trans in the linked articles say they were basically treated as "lab rabbits")...

Hope that informs you enough to understand the debate that has been going on in Sweden, which unlike in the US, almost completely lacks the transphobic arguments and focuses on the actual data (or lack thereof) regarding trans people's wellbeing and whether there's enough evidence that people who are allowed to transition could not have been just suffering from other mental issues at the time their extremely serious decision was made.

Staff reductions for changes in priorities/direction is normally fine, I think the problem Musk's Twitter had is they cut far too fast, far too quick, with seemingly a balance sheet at the forefront.

It is the whole "Learn WHY things are how they are, before you suggest changing them" which all new engineers need to learn, also seemingly applies to restructuring. If they had waited a couple of months, they could have made strategically smart changes, and over the long term it likely won't cost them more.

How bad can it be when most banks are paying 0.2% on savings accounts and nearly 0% on checking?

That's exactly what I did to make all of this work. While the Arch Wiki is the best thing since sliced bread, some things on it are spread out or aren't clear: given some of the sections actually have some talk going on. That was my experience trying to figure out the topic of my blog post. Anyway, I produced the blog post for fun and in hopes it may help someone who is confused or unclear as to why something they do may not be working. I 100% cited those exact wiki articles in my blog post and recommended the reader to go through them prior to doing anything else (especially if the configuration was slightly different, i.e., UEFI vs BIOS). While I agree that RTFM is a good attitude to have, it has too many gate-keeping vibes and can discourage new users from learning the ropes. Some people need a little bit of hand holding to get going before being let loose. I was once that person, and I wanted to share my experience with others. Nonetheless, I still agree with your comment. Just thought I'd clear it up some.
Because the customers expected interest and the bank’s investment portfolio can’t provide the necessary return to pay the interest rate they used to attract the customers.
Yup, Bootify.io too!

The Bootify-generated code is easier to read than JHipster's output, too.

You do realize that prior to women entering the workforce a man, and his partner and three kids, working a full time factory job could lead a better lifestyle than two l5 engineers in CA can today, right?
There still a war on, inflation wouldn'tve gone down until that ended. And you have to take the temperature of things in your daily life, its like Keynes said, people are driven by the "animal spirit", the market doesn't always (or ever) make sense, you have to get a feel for it and use specific data to support that feeling, not the other way around. Jesus am I the only one taking out more lines of credit with the expectation of an extended period of inflation? If everyone else is doing that (which they should be), the money supply will continue ballooning, the economy will stay strong and unemployment low.
Mullvad VPN has announced that their sister company "Tillitis"[1] is working on a really interesting key and it looks like it's releasing pretty soon (2023-03-23).

From the website:

>The TKey™ is a new kind of USB security key inspired by measured boot and DICE.

>TKey™s design encourages developers to experiment with new security key applications and models in a way that makes adoption easier and less risky forend-users.

>TKey™ is and always will be open source hardware and software. Schematics, PCB design and FPGA design source as well as all software source code can be found on GitHub.

[1]: https://www.tillitis.se/ -- also "tillit" is Swedish for "trust" and "mullvad" is Swedish for "mole" (the animal).
Sure!

We got our first customers from both channels: network (sales) and inbound (twitter discussions, etc).
I agree that top-down is not working well for a newcomers but getting better at a later stage.
What is "SVP"?
So the conversation goes:

A: We have too many depositors! We are not getting enough yield to pay interest without taking on risk.

B: What if we reduced the interest we pay on deposits?

A: Then we'd stop getting new depositors! Our only option is to take on risk.

You are right, this feels like a very unsympathetic problem to have. If you are a regulated bank you need to act like a grown-up and understand that overworking the soil and underworking the soil will both give you a bad yield in the end.
>Sundar Pichai previously said he takes "full responsibility" for the decisions which lead to mass layoffs, and has now been accused of hiring sprees for "vanity".

How does one take "full responsibility" for such decisions? Give yourself pat on a back? Pay raise to compensate for moral losses?
Primary care doctors have been treating ADHD for a long time. Making an appointment with a primary care doctor and showing up to it isn’t that much harder than making an appointment with a telehealth doctor and showing up to it.

> Stimulant medication is, in the overwhelming majority of cases, the single most effective part of treatment.

Let’s not downplay the effectiveness of non-stimulant ADHD medications. They’re actually quite powerful at improving cognition and can have even better outcomes in many people, especially those prone to anxiety, rumination, or insomnia (all of which can be substantially worsened by stimulant medications). The downside is that the non-stimulant medications can take some time to become fully effective, which has created a false belief that they’re worse than stimulants.

Telehealth pill mills like Cerebral only make the situation worse, as the doctors have no interest in long term patient outcomes other than writing as many Schedule II prescriptions per hour as they can. This isn’t healthy.
It's good strategy for the company, but bad for society*. I regard this as an example of market failure, where productive folk (who presumably want to do things that are cool and noteworthy) are diverted into sinecures to limit corporate competitors. The market for talent is being cornered here, just as a commodity trader might seek to corner the market to drive prices upward (or occasionally downward, to the detriment of a weak competitor).

This seems like a prima facie case for regulatory intervention to require divestment or breakup.

* I know, I know, 'how can we say it's bad, what if the resultant competition created environmental destruction or led to the invention of a basilisk.'
> An explainer post [1] connected to that Tweet is something I found extremely informative (assuming it's accurate):

Maybe, but unfortunately it cannot be used as a strike against it.

The Cambodian genocide happened.

Defectors are notoriously unreliable and many Soviet defectors told falsehoods their host country wanted to believe. (This doesn't mean every defector is unreliable, or even that everything an unreliable defector will say is false -- it just means what it means, that defectors are unreliable as a category.)

Both things are true.
To my mind, although it's in-principle equivalent, the clearer way to think about this is that banks borrow money from depositors and lend that money via loans or investments.

The primary business of a bank is borrowing short and lending long - where short and long refer to the holding time: i.e. taking demand or short-duration term deposits and making mortgage, car and other types of loans.

If you do this badly, you can lose money due to duration risk (you might end up paying more on your demand deposits than your mortgage book is bringing in), but you also have liquidity risks because your depositors can ask for those deposits back faster than you unwind your lending.

If you have both of these occurring at the same time, you're then in severe difficulty, because the only way to repay your depositors is by borrowing money ... which is going to be harder if you look unprofitable ... and that very borrowing can exacerbate the perception of a bank in trouble.

That's basically what happened here.

Sure, it's corrupt shit, no argument there. And really, what's being offered for the other 70% if not pain and suffering, for the make believe goal of glory of the tsar? Sure, they might be treated a lot better than the non ethnic Russians, but it's not paradise for them either.
"cultural marxism" is a far right antisemitic conspiracy theory that you're referencing (and as a brand new account with one comment)
Tldr, Chompsky says “them grapes are sour”.
SVB is not a typical regional bank taking deposits from middle-class workers, where most accounts are under the 250k insurance limit.

Banks that primarily serve ordinary workers typically have over 50% of total deposits in accounts that are under the limit, and are fully insured.

But for SVB, less than 3% of deposits are in accounts with less than $250k.

The cold, hard fact is that if the bank doesn't have sufficient assets to pay back depositors, no regulatory sleight of hand changes that fact.

There's a reason why large deposits aren't insured, and that's because the rich have the knowledge and resources to take care of themselves, and shouldn't co-opt the power of the state to force ordinary people to subsidize them when their bets go bad.

It would be hideously immoral to bail out fabulously wealthy VCs with funds from taxpayers and small depositors.

Good point. And it opens up the broader topic of measuring impact/value.

My personal experience from the startup world is that I fill in "auxiliary" but crucial roles which at the same time are not roles that can have an economic surplus (nah, not even break-even!) if we were to go "a dedicated person for each role".

Paraphrasing one of the up-thread commenters: _Yes, it's hard_.
Was there garlic in the soup? Garlic can turn green or blue when cooking depending on the ingredients involved. I assume the bright blue photo in the article isn’t an actual picture of the soup in question.
Making it illegal would be silly, society would need to come to the conclusion on its own, which is why social media will probably not ever go away.

The trap is exactly what you just said: "it's essentially free". Which of course it is not. Time is one's most valuable resource, I guess it is up to you what you value it. Mental well being has value. Privacy has value. I really don't know that many people that walk away from FB or IG or Twitter and say "that was fulfilling". Maybe I am really off base there.
Especially illogical, considering it's not their own money that they locked, but customers funds (that they owe to the customer in the short-term).

It's the ISBN of Edward Snowden's book "Permanent Record: A Memoir of a Reluctant Whistleblower". The numbers in the poster differ because it's the ISBN of the Swedish translated copy of the book.
