boneheadmed··on Childhood Gender Dysphoria: An Endocrinologist's Evaluation of I Am Jazz
"I Am Jazz contains both false information and very troubling omissions. Children who are experiencing gender dysphoria will likely be harmed by this book, as will children who do not have the condition."

Are you absolutely sure about this?
boneheadmed··on Suing California for Throwing Out 45k Ballots Over Handwriting 'Mismatches'
More analysis. (Not part of a left wing "primary" source poly-sci journal, just people who actually think for themselves): http://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/jun/19/noncitizen-ill...
boneheadmed··on Suing California for Throwing Out 45k Ballots Over Handwriting 'Mismatches'
Sure. Study the history of leftists like Lenin and Stalin and see how they got their "votes". Works the same way in California. And just like in the Soviet Union, you'll never be able to see the voter data to prove it, because communist governments will not allow that. You have to actually think outside the ballot box to figure it out.
boneheadmed··on Suing California for Throwing Out 45k Ballots Over Handwriting 'Mismatches'
One actually investigated: http://www.heritage.org/election-integrity/report/election-f...

In CA they will fight like hell to prevent it from ever being investigated. And why would they block an "open" voting process from being investigated? A scandal in its own right.

boneheadmed··on Suing California for Throwing Out 45k Ballots Over Handwriting 'Mismatches'
The evidence is inferred from the incredible 180 degree shift in California state politics from conservative to far left in such a short period of time. The data would also be available, however leftist governments like California refuse to turn it over. Think a little bit before you reply.

This is a great smoke screen for the ACLU to blow. While the real problem of MASSIVE illegal alien voter fraud continues in California. How does a state go from voting for proposition 187 to halt illegal immigration and having a conservative governor like Pete Wilson to the far leftist government presently in place? Massive voter fraud is the answer. I'm so glad the Trump administration is investigating :)
boneheadmed··on Ask HN: Does anyone have any workstation hacks for increasing work speed
Not necessarily increasing work speed, but saving your hand and wrist in the long run is the vertical mouse from Evoluent. Really helped my hand. Also multiple customizable buttons for shortcuts. Worth the money in my opinion. https://evoluent.com/
boneheadmed··on U.S. health care's widespread overbilling problem
You're not completely correct. Medicare has fixed prices that it will pay for visits, procedures etc. The prices depend on what region of the country you live in. Insurance companies then set their prices up or down from there. Independent physicians have little negotiating power and often get paid by private insurance companies less than the fixed government rate. Larger systems with more bargaining power can get significantly more. But medicare's irrational price setting system is a big part of the problem.
boneheadmed··on Ask HN: Which sites you visit on a regular basis for knowledge and inspiration?
You can't beat Rush Limbaugh with transcripts and audio. Premium membership is even better: https://www.rushlimbaugh.com
boneheadmed··on A composer wrote a three-hour piano piece using just one note
That's odd. I heard my four year old playing this piece just the other day.
boneheadmed··on If you are worried about “hacked” democracy, quit Facebook
You should also quit watching fake news: NBC, ABC, CNN, CBS, etc.
boneheadmed··on Oldest Fossils of Homo Sapiens Found in Morocco
Unfortunately, you can't test evolution in the same way that you can test for example if an artificial organ will function in an animal. You can only speculate about the past.
boneheadmed··on Attention Federal Employees: If You See Something, Leak Something
How about everything about Hillary Clinton and rigging the primary against Bernie via Podesta via Wikileaks?
boneheadmed··on Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Jack Ma, and others launch fund to fight climate change
Rich guys with money to burn. Maybe that will heat up our record cold temps during the global warming-cool.

Hear, hear!
boneheadmed··on Finland set to become first country to ban coal use for energy
Which nation will be the first to mandate citizens walking around with one hand tied behind their backs? Literally, rather than just as a metaphor.

boneheadmed··on The Joy of Linux Desktop Environments
Hadn't heard of it. Very cool alternative. Especially since I still can't get used to Win 10.

Oh really? I love it. It's the best part of HN.

So in other words, you really have no idea what you're doing do you?
boneheadmed··on Want to see gaming’s past and future? Dive into the “educational” world of PLATO
Wizardry was my all-time favorite computer game growing up! Agree, fascinating to see the precursors. I had absolutely no idea about this.
boneheadmed··on Trump-Supporting CEO Kicked Out of Y Combinator Startup Incubator
How terrible. I've been downgraded again by self righteous leftists. How will I sleep tonight?!?

boneheadmed··on What Hilary and I -and Ricardo- got wrong about trade; and Trump got dead right
This is excellent. Someone who gets it and isn't afraid to admit he was wrong. Bravo. "Nonetheless, I offer to all those who voted for Trump, my sincerest apologies. Too late, I know. Most Presidential candidates should have had reversing free trade as their first principle, but only one did."
boneheadmed··on Microsoft, I Forgive You
Why limit yourself? I have a laptop running Windows. My other laptop simultaneously runs Mac OS and from there I VNC into my linux server.

Know everything.

boneheadmed··on How One 19-Year-Old Illinois Man Is Distorting National Polling Averages
Hacker news has been left wing hack news for a long time. I'm still waiting for them to downvote me out of existence. It's taking too long. :)
boneheadmed··on Can a chatbot teach you a foreign language? Duolingo thinks so
This sounds incredible. Can't believe I haven't heard of it. My kids are trying to learn French and I'm going to have the whole family try to use it. This is one of those things where I say "Why didn't I think of that?" The chatbot lives and has utility, who knew?
boneheadmed··on By November, Russian hackers could target voting machines
" Even so, we have to accept that someone is attacking our nation’s computer systems in an apparent attempt to influence a presidential election. "

This is so comical. If the DNC was actually acting in an ethical, responsible and legal way, the email release would not influence the election one wit. Instead it makes it even more clear that their apparatus had already chosen the winner - and it wasn't Sanders.

On the other: Why even have computerized ballots? Back to paper. Not perfect, but hacking problem solved.
