jagger27··on CDC: Unpublished manuscripts mentioning certain topics must be pulled or revised
Your fascist rhetoric, no quotes needed, condemns innocent people to a life of ridicule and public segregation. Just put the SS pin on already.

Innocent people who just want to use the bathroom. You are cruel in the worst way.

Trans women are not men.
jagger27··on CDC: Unpublished manuscripts mentioning certain topics must be pulled or revised
The most rapes involving trans people are in men’s prisons where trans women are put. You’re very thinly veiled in your fascist rhetoric.

If misused bathroom rape was the actual issue at play, men would simply push the fucking door open and rape the women you apparently care so deeply to protect. Men with motive to use the opposite bathroom would not go through the often sterilizing trouble of hormone replacement therapy when the doors are already unlocked. You tell on yourself badly with this argument, rightbound.

You mean gender dysphoria. Body dysmorphia is also something trans people experience. You’re basically making the “they’re killing the twinks!” argument with absolutely no evidence for diagnosticians leading patients towards transition. My experience as a trans woman is that I had to fight my doctors to believe me, and this is a common experience in my circles. I know dozens of trans people, and not a single one was told by a doctor that they were trans. We call it the prime directive, and we even apply it between friends.

You do not speak with authority on this topic.

Cmd+F eug

Are we using "genetic discrimination" now? I thought we already had a perfectly serviceable word.

jagger27··on Ask HN: How to deal with AI generated sloppy code
Hold strong, keep noticing and articulating problems as they arise, build bridges to people willing to do it the hard way, and reward good behaviour.
jagger27··on Economist Eugene Fama: 'Efficient markets is a hypothesis. It's not reality
We have very common terms for human assets:

- human resources

- headcount

- talent equity

- talent pool

- cogs in the machine

And countless more. We’re already priced as assets. Openly.

jagger27··on How Gen Z became so nihilistic about money
Maybe try considering that $1200/yr towards retirement doesn’t provide much comfort when that doesn’t even cover a month’s worth of rent today.

It’s okay to admit that while you also had it hard, younger people have it much, much harder. This shouldn’t be surprising. Home ownership is completely off the table if all that can be spared is $1200/yr.

Do you even look at the price tag of bananas when you buy them? Consider perhaps that the date of your birth has more impact than your rugged sacrifice and work ethic. I see plenty of both of those things in my zoomer friends and it doesn’t make rent more affordable.

I’ll add for transparency that I make a very comfortable six figure salary at an old, stable software company you’ve likely heard of. I stay in my amenity-less apartment because the rent is low enough to keep the shaky dream of home ownership alive. I even have pretty generous RSUs. I am extremely lucky. Even still, without ~equal partnership and shared ownership with someone roughly as wealthy as me, I couldn’t afford to own a home in the neighbourhood I grew up in. I’m 29 years old and have been making this much for three years. There aren’t many jobs that pay better than this.

Spare me your financial advice and think of people who make less than a third of what I make who grew up next to me. Some of them work good union blue collar jobs that your parents would have respected. Everything has outpaced wage growth. Everything.

jagger27··on Ask HN: Is it possible to make FAANG salaries without working there?
I say this as a Canadian living in Ottawa, their salaries are not good.

Shopify’s salaries are nowhere near competitive. No clue where you got that from.

I encourage the downvoters to provide evidence to the contrary.

Ahh Linux people. Some things will never change.

jagger27··on New insights into transcription factors and chromatin remodeling
But early treatment does lead to better longterm outcomes for a whole bunch of cancers, so I take issue with your facile reply.

A mole removal with local anesthetic by your local dermatologist will almost always lead to better outcomes than two rounds of surgery, chemo, and radiation to treat stage 4 metastatic melanoma.

jagger27··on Linksys Velop routers send Wi-Fi passwords in plaintext to US servers
Sure, log your objection between the choice of Tailwind and Bootstrap. In professions more serious than software, people generally use their spines and say "no" when they see problems to the degree of passwords sent in the clear.

Early detection when treatment is easier is better treatment.

They just have to go with Vision Air, especially if it’s lighter.
jagger27··on A Desktop Monitor for 2025
Important correction: it’s mini-LED backlit IPS displays. MicroLED isn’t in production yet. Apple’s biggest OLED display is on the iPad Pro. If they shipped the iPad Pro’s 120Hz display tech in a 27-inch Studio Display I’d buy one in a heartbeat.

Good for you, sounds like a comfortable place to live. The concepts of the city and the condominium aren’t going anywhere though. What a strange idea, humans living together, right?

I get it, I love gardening too, and balconies don’t really cut it for me either.

Cities have existed for as long as written history has. They can only get so wide before there’s pressure to build up. What’s the alternative?

> When I've built my current home

Vanishingly few people have the financial privilege to buy, let alone build, anywhere near a city, I’m sure you’re aware.

There simply isn’t a world where every single person can live in a PV-powered, water tank backed up fortress, with ample setbacks to keep your neighbours away. That’s far more dystopian to me than any “you’ll never own anything” boogeyman.

jagger27··on API Shouldn't Redirect HTTP to HTTPS
Who cares how many of the n-dozen routers and switches between you and your favourite blog got to inject a few <script> tags for your convenience?

Encryption is for more than secrecy, folks.

jagger27··on API Shouldn't Redirect HTTP to HTTPS
There’s absolutely nothing ordinary or easy about that setup, but I admire it. I’ve only seen that level of paranoia at a three letter agency.

Do applications with pinned certificates break? A bunch of mobile apps do that to get in the way of Wireshark.

Seriously, this is the correct take. None of the “Elon success stories” were his alone.
