> I don't understand why people have an obligation to use "they" specifically as long as they respect the gender neutral concept.

The same reason we use people's names. Or their nicknames. Or their middle names sometimes. Or their stage names, noms de plume, or noms de guerre. When you are introduced to someone you expect to be spending some time around, you might ask them, "Do you prefer Henry or Hank? Charles or Chuck? William or Bill?" And if they say, "Actually, I use my middle name, David." you wouldn't immediately say, "I'll go ahead and use your full first name because it's an equally equivalent name for you, because I'm respecting the concept of you.

Culturally, we already accept a wide variety of markers for people in a host of different situations, and have generally settled on "it's polite to try and refer to people in the way they prefer."

To me, it's as if RMS had posted a blog post that said, "I propose we use only people's full and legal names when referring to them, because I believe that system works better."
I love pagers. Sometimes I carry three for three different hospitals.

There is no risk of malfunction due to automatic software updates when the software does not update. There is no chatty distraction of text platforms. Functionality is not affected by changes to volume or mute status as it might be on a heavily used phone. The wavelengths used reportedly have better penetration deep into buildings with shielded areas like around MR machines. They are bulky, and it would be hard to forget that one is on call when they are strapped to the waistband/belt.

When the pager goes off, it doesn't bother other people because they either don't know what it is or know it's a medical issue and is acceptable.

The major problem is that I constantly 'hear' my pager going off when other devices beep in a roughly-similar fashion even when I'm not wearing it and my heart starts racing, so I have to change the ringtone frequently to de-Pavlov myself.
What's more, an effect of access to information and training that wasn't available before. Like the above poster, referencing information sources and training materials is possible with a few clicks and some typing, copyrighted or not. Which is epic.

Who had this level of ability before? The wealthy. I've got some projects in mind that'll enable some interesting training. But while we wait, we've got Appropriate Technology and CD3WD to shore up humanity's advancements in subsistence and basic technology all the way on up to YouTube videos, articles and books on digital financial markets and video game design. There hasn't been an age where the common man can go from zero skill to an initial level of mastery in a day, on almost any topic. I like to take the example of driving stick shift, learning with a YouTube video. The sad part of a lack of reading is in the areas of encyclopedias.

WikiPedia is interesting, but more focused than being able to pick up a book, read the next entry. In some ways digital resources and reading are more dead-ended without the dedication and motivation on the part of the reader.

I read Brittanica as a kid, out of interest and to finish homework, as well as any thesaurus and dictionaries that were around. What's contextual now? Donation campaigns and ads. Or videos to take you back to the "popular" stuff related to what you were viewing earlier.
What's the deal with this new folksy corporate logo style that everyone is jumping on? It seems like Yahoo and McDonalds are just copying Walmart.
Even a random Excel geek would know that a "name" field is not the place to go for OFAC implementation. Or at least, not for a restaurant. I'm sure that they can link to corporate and banking data.
A physical multi-purpose, tactile 3-D interface is definitely difficult to even concieve of, but seems (relatively) straightforward to spoof. Imagine a VR inteface with an integrated pair of sensory feedback gloves. This would allow you to 'touch' objects and feel texture. To create the illusion of solidity and rigidity, you could integrate some form of shoulder-down exo-suit, which would articulate with every joint of the arm, wrist, and fingers, and could resist motion in any or all joints. Combined, these three pieces could potentially spoof a wide range of tactile interactions. Is there a VR wall 1ft in front of you? The suit would become rigid at that point, spoofing a solid surface. Are you in VR handcuffs? The suit will physically prevent you from pulling your wrists more 4" apart, reproducing the restraint. Is there a VR ball on the table in front of you? You place your hand over it and pick it up with your fingertips, feeling the sensation via the gloves. The weight of the ball would be spoofed via downward force/upward resistance from the point of the exo-sleeve that is in contact with the ball. You try to squeeze the ball, and the suit could provide varied degrees of resistance, giving a sense of the ball's firmness. Etc,etc.
Woo! Finally something that made me comment on HN after years of lurking. I invest in domains and spend way too much time looking at them. Is the domain a common dictionary word? Very few names sell for 7 figures. As an example cowboy.com recently sold for $70k and panda.com reportedly sold for mid six figures... Even if the media company bas a trademark they can't just take it for nothing, they'd need to file a UDRP which costs a few thousand dollars.

Some brokers that would be worth reaching out to if the name really is top quality:

All of them are well respected in the industry and have experience selling names at the highest level.

I think this is an important distinction. If something should be unhealthy for consumption then it has to be because of ingesting it and not because of how it will impact the market or environment.
Even if there's a paper trail, that doesn't mean it won't happen. For example here's a guy who got fired for transferring a number without the code:

I’ve known people like this, and people who assume that those people are making claims when they are in fact, asking questions, are projecting. Specifically, people who are unable to take questions at face value are often people who are good at using language that is in the form of a question to give commands or state claims (typical in politics for example.)

(For anyone that reading, no, my observation here is not making a claim about the justness of the treatment of RMS, if you can’t see that upon a re-read you too may be projecting.)
They probably also suck by comparison. But she should move to one of them now that she's aware of the problem.
The article specifically states the issue is on Square’s side with their (Square) using JP Morgan Chase.
Where's the news that Dynamicland was shut down? I can't find any evidence of this.

I didn’t read the article but how could NASA know they are close to finding something, unless they already found it? Weird!
In the interest of full disclosure, I am a middle-aged male. Although I have children, I have never borne one.

It seems to me that our discourse around abortion is woefully inadequate. Tribal politics and social media are, as in many other areas, doing us no favors here. My wife and I have discussed what we would do if one of our daughters became pregnant as a teenager. Those discussions were difficult - AS THEY SHOULD BE.

There are no simple answers here. And yet society is built to only want simple answers.
That's cool, but I was hoping to find a video detailing the difference in design between axial and radial motors. You know, with exploded 3d models and such. And also with techno music.
Perhaps it was an artistic choice? Doubtful depending on what the marketing material was for but I’ve seen interesting stuff along those lines. A good analogy would be how some people like the sound of “cheap” synthesizers.
“The first” is neither what has happened with Stallman, nor is it what I describe in my comment.

Many incidents have occurred, enough to demonstrate that they’re a trend rather than “the first” one-off.

Many folks have noted that most people in Stallman’s position would have chose to learn to be better people to those around them.

He did not make that choice, and the result is that many stories told about him paint him in a severely negative light.

Please don’t use threats here; “I better not see anyone here [any action here]” has no place in this forum’s conversations.
I don’t know what I was thinking. I completely misread and didn’t sanity check the numbers.
Thanks, these look good.
Well, anything that does suddenly appear in stores or whatever, if you google it, you generally find that it's been in the process of development for 20 or 30 years.

So any given story about an innovation could be perfectly real, just not ready for prime time for a few decades.
Reuters.com isn't usually that bad. At least they don't have screen-wide popups.
It depends on the chemical. CO2 is not electrophilic, but something like an aldehyde, typically biochemically formed by oxidation, is electrophilic and reactive. The body biochemically oxidizes ethanol to acetaldehyde, whose reactivity gives it carcinogenic properties. Toxic aldehydes formed when fats degrade include acrolein and malondialdehyde: "Malondialdehyde results from lipid peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids."

2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malondialdehyde
Absolutely.

AFAIK it's the best non-code way to create sites without being tied to a hosting platform or messing with Wordpress plugins.
One of those comments was in response to an article about Jimmy Savile[0]. Savile is estimated to have raped 589 children, including some as young as 8.

I am "healthily skeptical" about the moral compass of people who use serial child rapists as a springboard to questions about consent on the part of minors.

I don’t mean to sound snarky, but this really discounts so many factors in how autism is dealt with and even worse it makes it sound as if autistic people are unable to learn how their actions impact people around them, which is of course completely untrue. Autistic people may have difficulty interpreting things such as social cues, but they are absolutely not incapable.

We have indications from many of those closest to RMS that he was willfully dismissive of others feelings. It wasn’t that he was unaware, he was both aware of his difficulties reading others, and made a choice to be dismissive.

It’s painful, I get it. I met RMS many times and still consider him to be one of our era’s great minds and one who’s actions have had nothing short of an incredible impact on society. However, he has–despite this article from his publicist–a long history of bad actions.

I believe there should always be a path forward if people wish to remain a public figure. But this path can’t start with easily disprovable excuses.

Ah, so that author is looking for "the most religious countries". Still, it doesn't make sense to highlight Mongolia (53% Buddhist), Laos (67% Buddhist) and even the Democratic Republic of the Congo (50% Roman Catholic), but not Canada, which is 67.2% Christian. Even the United Kingdom, which is also highlighted, is less religious than Canada at 59.5% Christian.
What are the reasonable alternatives? In terms of business investment I mean, personal loans are a whole other problem.

Without interest (or fees) on loans then anyone lending money would have to take an active interest in the business as a proper partner or shareholder, which is a lot of overhead and headache for everyone involved.

Though I suppose keeping it impersonal and at arm's length like this has pros and cons, I think it's what I would prefer personally in most cases as a borrower.

Another alternative of course is not borrowing money but that would tend to limit business ventures to those with minimal setup costs that start nearly cash-flow positive - or initiated by the already wealthy elite.

Might be just a coincidence, but it seems Square is turning it's back on the coffee/cafge industry that it did a lot of it's brand building on the back of:

https://sprudge.com/square-just-increased-their-transaction-...

They've used the industry for good PR like this: https://squareup.com/au/en/townsquare/2018-australian-coffee...

Google probably has tens of patents on each area that you mentioned. And since this is in their core offering they will probably use them.

They have rations to make it accessible to all, they are a poor country crippled by a long lasting embargo. Cubans are very sweet people. Their politics attempted to keep they away from american greedy companies. Just look around the caraibean region. Countries that played ball with the US are in a very bad shape, a la economic hit man and such. Cuba managed to keep the people poor but with dignity, education, health care, for all its citizens. They manage with what they have and they’d do much better if it wasnt for the embargo.

I don’t get why this is being downvoted. I’d rather get a comment on why you disagree
Haptic, resistive gloves will merge the tactile with the digital in VR applications. Just like touchscreens, they will serve as a single device that can simulate an infinite number of different controls. Give 5-10 years for the tech to miniaturize and mature. https://haptx.com/

Sadly for you, Dave, the teachers from my youth are likely retired and/or dead. But, fear not, I didn’t care to “show my work” until late high school when it was mandated (as a comment upthread points out, for credit).

I ran into a situation that isn’t described: even if you’re right, they want you to prove that you didn’t cheat. Thanks to the absurdity of physics in imperial units, you can almost always show some bland dimensional conversions, but generally they love seeing an explicit change of basis for say straightforward calculus problems.

tl;dr: embrace your inner windbag, it won’t matter as long as they’re right (and one day they may appreciate it when they’re slow like us!)
If I recall correctly, there was also no uninstaller (at least on Mac, 2 years ago).
"Electric cars, being still relatively new, cannot afford to get a reputation for danger."

The Lohner-Porsche was a hit at the World's Fair in 1900 and was in development before that. I mean I guess a concept 120 years old is still new enough to get a bad reputation...
You may find, as you age, that this viewpoint takes on nuance. Yes, we should root our world in scientific thinking. We should approach problems logically. We should make our decisions rationally. We should be efficient in how we allocate our resources.

But there are times when being human outweighs those interests. There are times when we should be deliberately inefficient because too much efficiency can cause harm. There are times when we need not investigate rigorously, because by picking apart someone we might do them harm. There are times when we should accept that there might not be a logical underpinning to a behavior, because we will never be capable of operating free from emotions.

And most importantly, there are times where you need not pursue a truth. That sometimes the quest to understand can be much more harmful than simply being present and accepting.

I used to be a hardline 'logic only, logic always, efficiency above all' person. I'd plan my routes to optimize path efficiency. My relationships left me scrutinizing every interaction, guessing at double meanings and challenging assertions by people. It was unbearable to be around me. I've had to learn that sometimes people want to engage with me in diving deep, sometimes people really hate doing that, and rarely it's for everyone's best interest to override those interests.
I realize you're posting this in jest, but I actually prefer AOL for this. They're one of the only major providers that will still let you sign up without providing a phone number. And, like Yahoo, I'm kindof amazed that they're still around.
Processing 40TB of code from 10M projects with a dedicated server and Go
I've never seen that before but I have seen businesses:

* Use hadoop/latest distributed computing with data that fits on one machine

* Use way higher variance models than necessary for the problem at hand

And in general just cargo cult what the big players are doing when it's unnecessarily complex for the size of the business.
So by that logic, if there was a group of mostly autistic/aspie men and they felt unsafe around one neurotypical woman, she should be the one to lose her position at a university, lose her position at a nonprofit that she founded, and be kicked out on the street, right?

"Feeling unsafe" is an absurd metric to use. Lots of things feel unsafe but are actually extremely safe. Many people feel unsafe flying on airplanes. Though they may not admit it publicly, lots of people feel unsafe around black men. Also, since one can't introspect another person's feelings, the metric of "feeling unsafe" is ripe for abuse. If you don't like someone, simply claim you feel unsafe around them. You can't reliably tell the difference between a liar and a fragile soul.

There is only one thing that generalizes: objective rules and encouraging people to be more understanding. And part of becoming more understanding involves growing a thicker skin. That's the only way that you can have a functioning community that includes communists, libertarians, young earth creationists, Muslims, Mormons, Quakers, atheists, pro-lifers, pro-choicers, Trump supporters, and Bernie supporters. We may not be able to converge on beliefs, but we can get along and work towards common causes. That is, provided that people in the group aren't catastrophizing and looking for any possible reason to be upset at one another.

The whole point of rational dispassionate discussion is exactly because everyone has their own subjective feelings and experiences and biases. You have to put them aside to have a useful discussion. Prioritizing personal experience and saying “you cant know what its like if youre not X” is a bad bad social meme. I mean lets pretend its true. So what? It doesn’t advance the discussion at all, its only purpose is to end discussion. If a persons feelings trump logic and they cant have a level headed discussion because of that, then frankly they shouldn’t be treated as an adult, they should be treated like a child.
Yes, that's what I knew nameplace capacity was. And by that definition, your claim was absurd. Solar doesn't have a higher nameplate capacity, it has higher nameplate capacity per dollar. Your units weren't even right.

The intermittency argument you are giving is quite flawed. Solar and wind can go far past 20-30% and still be cheaper than new nuclear. If they are not going higher now it's because of sunk costs in existing generating capacity, the slow growth of demand, and the slow turnover of existing generating capacity.
Probably a general society awakening, my gut says to be honest with you. I think quality of life, progress, and stable economies/societies are ones that efficiently organize themselves into groups or orders.

RDP quit forwarding rendering commands some time ago,[1] it turns out to be faster to just send a compressed image. On very low bandwidth links effects are turned off and a limited color pallet is used.

You're still right -- the performance is good, and using normal UI controls you will typically not notice even a very poor connection. But this is because UI changes are an "eventually consistent" deal, and although the Windows terminal services implementation does send bitmaps it optimizes drawing for sending the resulting bitmap. Contrast to scrolling text on a terminal that may not update in a manner that allows you to react to it.

I agree it should have been clarified, but the initial intended audience was meta users who would be familiar. Elected moderators need to accept the https://stackoverflow.com/legal/moderator-agreement agreement before they're giving their privileges, and they have to agree not to disclose any information that they get obtain using their mod access, such as the private discussions between moderators and staff here.

It might not be legally binding, but Stack Overflow could plausibly delete their account as punishment.
Brown's standard patter starts with him saying he performs a mix of "magic, suggestion, psychology, misdirection and showmanship." He is very good at what he does. I suspect most of his tricks are of the more traditional magic variety (misdirection and showmanship) but dressed up as if they're psychology and mentalism, but that's ok.

More than this, he seems to be a good person, and has a deep disdain for people who use similar techniques in fraudulent ways to take advantage of vulnerable people rather than to entertain, and has worked to educate people.
Yeah, and often it comes from a place of skepticism, not from a place of trying to understand. And also from a place of laziness, where the skeptic expects the marginalized person to explain why the behavior or speech is harmful, and explain it in a way that is acceptable to the skeptic. All the while the understanding is a short Google search away.
People also use profanity, work on their rest days, drink alcohol, eat pork and shellfish, covet other people's things, and do lots of other things they're not supposed to according to their religion.
