>> With this knowledge, what reason is there to classify these individuals as female?

We already do: we determine the sex of babies at birth, and each others' sex as adults, by looking at external genitalia and at secondary sex characteristics.

Why would knowledge of chromosomes now change that? Like I say above, we can't see chromosomes. And the people who can, i.e. biologists, have a much more nuanced view of what it means for an individual to be male or female, rather than their karyotype (and not their chromosomes) being male or female. The scientists interviewed for the BBC article all agree that whether an individual, a person, is male or female, is not clear cut and that detecting, or not, a Y chromosome is not enough of a criterion.

Keep in mind that "all X have Y" is not equivalent with "all who have Y are X". Or replace "all" with "most" and the same goes.

>> I think that is more to do with socio-cultural views on women and men than anything else, and not so relevant in the narrower case of eligibility in women's sport, which has to be based around eliminating male physical advantage, otherwise there's no reason for the category to exist.

The BBC article points out that there is no test that can determine "male physical advantage" as you put it. Also note that some athletic associations, e.g. World Athletics, consider athletes with Y-chromosome DSDs to be eligible for competition in women's categories as long as they reduce their testosterone to male levels medically. See:

https://www.bbc.com/sport/athletics/65051900

As an aside, note in the same article that World Athletics now completely bans transgendered women _who have gone through male puberty_ from competing in the women's category so even having one's sex determined as male as birth is not recognised as an absolute advantage in women's sports; the cutoff is having gone through a male puberty, which a genetic test alone cannot determine.

To be clear, I do think that banning trans women who have gone through male puberty from sports is _on balance_ the fair choice, although it means transgendered women cannot reasonably compete in any category, since it would be unfair for them to compete in the male category and there is no special third category. End aside.

>> But isn't it also cruel to female athletes when they are being compelled to compete with a male?

Yes, but I'm claiming that someone whose sex was determined to be female at birth, and lived their whole life as a woman, and experienced everything that every other woman experiences, is not a male.

>> My view is that sports organisations have a duty of care and a duty of fairness to all athletes, not just the ones who've received unwanted news about eligibility due to their sex.

Of course, but those athletes also deserve a fair treatment. And ruling that they can't compete as women, when they are recognised as women in every other aspect of their lives since birth, is very hard to see as fair. Should we start to treat those women as men in their everyday lives also? That sounds even more unfair.
Very similar for India. Prostitution is legal, but every way of actually obtaining their services isn't.
If this is true then why does the hotels list of what to search for include USB drives, breadboards and wifi routers, not guns?

I remember when I worked on a project in 2010-2012 that relied on OSM it took days to set up a part of the system, the documentation was mostly in German or if you were lucky in an arcane bash script, and which part did what required a deep understanding of the entire thing. I don’t need this anymore but this is really nice.

ShadowStack: A Laravel-React-Inertia Boilerplate with Stripe Integration
And defcon dates? That shooting wasn’t during defcon, if I recall correctly..
My take:

The key to understanding the paradox is that women apply mostly to popular departments therefore women are declined more often than man who apply more to unpopular departments.
I've created ShadowStack, a comprehensive boilerplate for web developers looking to jumpstart their projects with a modern, full-stack setup. It combines Laravel's robust backend with React's dynamic frontend, seamlessly integrated via Inertia.js. but with ALL SHADCN/UI Components INTEGRATED
Key features:

Laravel 10+ backend
React 18+ with TypeScript
Inertia.js for smooth SPA-like experiences
Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui for rapid UI development
Stripe integration for easy payment processing
Vite for fast builds and HMR

ShadowStack aims to solve the common pain points of setting up a new project, allowing developers to focus on building features rather than configuring the tech stack. It's particularly useful for SaaS applications, e-commerce platforms, or any project requiring a modern, scalable architecture with built-in payment capabilities.
I'd love to get the community's feedback and hear about your experiences with similar setups. What other features would you find valuable in a boilerplate like this?

Both Figma autolayout and HStack / VStack are careful subsets of flexbox; not quite the same thing. Consider whether a marble statue is "just a subset" of the block that contained it.

I can't remember exactly when I had that conversation with my grandmother, probably around 15 years ago.

My dad asked me to pick up a USB stick, "the cheapest will do" he said, so I got a 1 GB one for £5 or so.

My grandmother was there when I handed it over, she asked how many books could it store.

"About 600 the size of the bible", I said. In retrospect think I'd underestimated the size of the bible by a factor of 3, but almost any compression would fix that easily.

Still, she was flabbergasted.

I think the same category is now 32 GB? I have more than I need, so I'm not buying them anymore.
USB-C has been a game changer for charging. I'm now able to keep a charger that will work for almost everything I own everywhere I might need one. One at my desk, one in my bag, one by the TV, one by the bed. Next step is strapping a set of adapters to each of those cables.
Since a slice/map, internally, contains a pointer to the data, it looks like slices/maps have reference semantics: after you do "m2 := m1", all changes done through m1 are visible through m2, even though the type of m1 and m2 has no visible asterisk anywhere in it.

That sounds awful. Some of my favourite thing about the web are the semantics. This like links that have common shortcuts across all sites (like open in new tab) and a rich contect menu (send to another device, archive at archive.org). I have extensions to translate text to find URL anchors in documents.

If the web primatives where WebHID + WebGPU every site would lack any of these.

Of course this would come from the Flutter people who don't seem to care about this. Flutter on web is completely unusable and often Android and desktop versions are barely tolerable.

It uses the GC from the JS engine for it's entire DOM implementation which definitely makes it tricky. There are also some other bits you'd probably want to rip out like gstreamer for media support.

We looked at using Servo's layout support. But it isn't really designed to be used standalone (although it could be if that was prioritized!). And we'll probably add a Webrender rendering backend at some point (Blitz is designed to have pluggable renderers).
Batteries don't use rare earths either. Rare earths are used in magnets, which are used in most motors and generators.

I have one kind of gym sock and one kind of dress sock. I never need to pair socks; each type goes into a box in my dresser or closet.

Similarly, I never fold gym shorts, gym shirts, or underwear. (Who cares?) Each gets stuffed in a general area of a drawer. The time savings substantially outweighs the inefficient use of space.

My usual t-shirts (32° from Costco — super comfortable) are generally wrinkle-free and likewise just get stuffed in a bin.

95% of the time my outfits are grab-and-go and require minimal laundry effort.

I always get surprised in the opposite direction by languages that work like that, fun to see it from the other side.

GIL-less Python isn't magic pixie dust, the same group of users who have slow, poorly structured code are at best run into deadlocks. GIL-less Python can be used by well-designed libraries to achieve speedups, but that's not code written by the aforementioned pandas users, and speaking from experience, there's a lot more room for order of magnitude speedups from fixing quick hacks than running things in parallel, and usually it's a lot easier than managing multithreaded code.

This model isn't concerned with value produced for the company, but value produced for the employee, and the only relevant metrics in that regard are profit and power. To do anything less than ruthlessly maximize for both makes you a loser in capitalist terms because that's the game of capitalism and you're choosing not to play. To believe in ideals other than profit and power makes you clueless, because those ideals are just levers of control meant to keep the losers in line and you can't see it. To be capable of playing the game and winning requires a sociopathic personality who understands the nature of capitalism and the true purpose of any corporation (amassing wealth and power) and is willing and able exploit both the losers and the clueless.

In any case doesn't actually matter what the company actually does.

Usually this is a sign of a project that isn't ready for a lot of attention. It's very brave and a little bit stupid to offer Open Source to the world (especially without a sustainability plan), if you put a lot of effort into 'marketing' at an early stage you've probably just overpromised to people not focused on that domain, won't be able to deliver, and will burn out, and it will become yet another abandoned project.

Perhaps in a few years, as the project picks up uses and contributors, it will get its own website and support network and be easy to understand and use by "anyone."

I’m not suggesting we just recently invented the motor or Li-Ion battery. Modern EVs are costlier to manufacture than modern ICE cars. This is sort of indisputable; the reason for this is because of economies of scale. We know how to manufacture and build ICE cars at scale / cheap. We are still learning how to do that for EVs.

This article is about a biotech company that is aiming to reduce pain from arthritis using an injectable chemical (as an alternative to taking ibuprofen every day), whereas I think from your comment it sounds like a personal journey hoping to recover from a chronic health condition (I doubt this is happening any time soon for arthritis, unfortunately).
Note that we don't know what kind of test the IBA used to disqualify the two Olympic boxers. You say "karyotype test" because the sports journalist above reported "male karyotype" as the "interpretation" of the test result, without specifying the test (probably because the sports journalist doesn't realise "chromosome test" is vague and imprecise). That doesn't tell us what kind of test was carried out and there is no official information, because it would be illegal to share it. It seems the IBA was planning to share the results but the two athletes' teams sent legal letters to the IBA reminding it of non-disclosure agreements:

The purpose of the press conference was to double down on the IBA’s claim that the IOC, led by Kremlev’s bete noire, Thomas Bach, is a danger to women’s boxing, among other things.

It had been believed making public the chromosome tests of the boxers would place serious pressure on the Olympic organisers’ position that the fighters were eligible having been registered as women at birth and holding passports as such. But that morning legal letters came in from the Algerian and Taiwanese organising committees warning them not to breach non-disclosure agreements.

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/article/2024/aug/11/gender...

So all we have to go by is, frankly, dodgy tactics by the IBA that seems more interested in kicking up a storm to discredit the IOC, than to protect women's sports. I suggest caution in accepting anything the IBA says.
