Many sports have many categories. Boxers and wrestlers are separated based on weight

Yes, but as mentioned elsewhere weight alone would do little to solve this issue. Males would still dominate.

So presumably you include other factors — but then you are simply dividing by ability. You could conceivably attempt to divide by innate ability (theoretically allowing competitors to compete against one another based on nurture, not nature) but that would be impossible to do fairly or in a way that would make sense to audiences.

> but then you are simply dividing by ability

While I understand the sentiment, but I think we need to speak of skill vs physical factors. The division of weightlifters in weight classes is to deal with the latter rather than the former.

Similarly - WADA does this already by banning doping. PEDs don't make you a high-skill athlete, they enhance physical capabilities (stronger, faster recovery etc).

Laurel Hubbard is in an unfortunately unique position, where she's at a natural advantage due to higher testosterone levels earlier in life.

It might be impossible to end up with a fair division, but I don't think "no division" is a good answer.

>impossible to do fairly

we're at HN - run PCA and clustering on the totality of athletes' results and biological data for the last N decades with end result being the groups based on identified parameters similar to boxing/wrestling weight groups.

>that would make sense to audiences.

we're already in situation which is harder and harder to make sense. Putting it on the firm basis of scientific analysis is the only way to move forward which would avoid all the pitfalls we're going to hit otherwise.

What happens if you run PCA and it groups trans women in with men?

trans women by their nature already defy the classic notions of sex and gender (i.e. that classic match of software and hardware), so why does it matter whether they would get grouped with the men (i suppose you meant the classic notion of "men"), trans men, women or with any cross boundaries cutting group as long as the competition is honest (i.e. similar blood oxygen carrying capabilities with similar muscle mass with similar bone density or whatever PCA would point to)?

Also, if trans women are supposed to go to women competition, does it mean that trans men are supposed to go to men competition? Wouldn't that mean pretty much condemning them to having no chance of winning from the start in the most sports where sheer mass, power, etc. play major role?

Anyway, if we don't put it on the firm scientific basis today, i can see how tomorrow a number of male athletes form China and Russia would suddenly start to feel like they are women, may be would take some hormones to satisfy some doubts/requirements (giving the doping already going on i don't see any obstacles here), and that will be the end of female sports.

Boxers and wrestlers are also separated based on sex, because even at the same weight males will dominate.

2 minor comments:

1 on mobile it is very convenient to have an x in the search box in order to clear that text from the previous search

2 when correcting spelling it would be nice if it bolded the word that was misspelled rather then the entire search phrase

I used this and love it. One feature that would be nice is some form of group source control. Like git with PRs. I want other members of my family to participate but I can't figure out how to do that

Have you thought about why that is? Not having passwords would make it much easier to use the internet. All that you need is to trust that no one will access someone's account without their permission. For some reason, no large site ever successfully managed to do that. I wonder why?

Was fluff added by GPT-2 to make the word count longer? All of the information included in this article could have been written with a lot less words.

> As far as I'm aware (I'm open to being proven wrong), gun lobbies in the US want no restriction on the ownership of firearms, period.

A few notable examples of regulations that many pro gun lobbyist like are bans on machine guns, Short-barreled rifles and shotguns. [0]

After the Los Vegas shooting many pro gun organization pushes for banning bump stocks [1]

Many of those organizations want to take away the right to any firearm from felons.

I clicked on the link and I see images. Although, the subtext is mostly about how Bing is censoring it. I wonder what happened.

I may have missed it in the post, but how is blue different than red? I realise that they have slightly different Pokemon, but is that enough to make the emulator run only blue?

Oops you're right, I should have mentioned that. Red works too, I just didn't want to write Blue/Red everwhere :)

In the spirit of the project I'm surprised you didn't pick "Red" because it's one fewer characters. :)

What about Yellow? If yes, you could shorted it as RBY which is more familiar to most old genners.

It probably needs less memory, since you only 8 bits to store blue but red needs 3.

veritasium used to be a really good channel, but a few years ago he tasted what it was like to have a viral video. since they he basically admitted (somewhere near the end of https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fHsa9DqmId8 ) that from then on he will be making clickbait style videos

Clickbait is more about titles and thumbnails and less about the content itself. The content of this video is hardly what I would consider clickbait.

well what do you expect? for the city to be eternal? eventually, for whatever reason, a city will fall.

There are cities in europe that are around 1000 years old, maybe it there is a reason cities are dying now.
