Typically, you use someone's current pronouns, and in cases of celebrity you might include something like "nee Bruce Jenner" in a parenthetical.
I thought it was a scaled prototype first time I saw the video.

The flight jerkiness probably comes from the flight controller not being super polished, and also the aircraft being piloted remotely by a drone pilot, so the pilot doesn't have the same feedback an onboard pilot would have.
Formal Japanese takes a lot to get into coming from English, but the benefit is that in informal conversation you can reliquish the honorifics to some extent.

The con is that there is not that much informal conversation going on especially in regards to work, so polite form grammar should be the default way to speak. On the other hand, polite form still allows you to drop gender specific words, and another note is the way Japanese conversations are formulated, gender is almost never a pre-stated thing, it's usually inferred based on who you're speaking about or who you're talking to.

It's also a cultural thing. You're not going to see any of this craziness in any Slavic country, or in most of Asia.

Ideological extremism is everywhere, but this particular strain of it is mostly concentrated in the Western world, particularly America, Canada, Sweden, and Germany.
A lot of early web apps heavily abused this pattern - I worked on a web framework that used iframes to manage widget state, and of course at that time everyone had to support IE5 and 6. But those browsers by default had this charming noise (an audible click) every time a page loaded or iframe loaded. When you would click a widget button you’d here this curious storm of clicks as the iframes all reloaded.

That culminated in a super awesome bug called “The Click of Death” where sometimes on IE6 you’d click an interface element, hear a huge train of clicks, and then ominously, it would fall silent and IE would freeze (hard lockup, no browser interaction possible).

Turns out we were deadlocking on CSS and JS loads in those iframes - IE6 only allowed two simultaneous connections, and if you got out of order you couldn’t load an iframe because the connections were waiting to clear the CSS item the JS needed to load.
Could we maybe just point them to the history of the words instead? Maybe let them suffer in the recognition of their errors?

A storm in a teacup. It's the usual internal politics in these communities. Because the stakes are so low, people's reactions are more violent.
I’d love to hear more about this approach. Could you expand on the process in your second paragraph?

Also would love to hear how that process informs the experiences mentioned in your third paragraph.
Moreover, those personal pronouns are untranslatable. If someone’s wants to be referred as “xir” in English and use of “they” is considered offensive, there is no “politically correct” way to refer to such person in at least some non-English languages unless xir defines the pronouns for other languages too.
When I talk to family and friends, I assure them that everything will be great, and 4% year-over-year economic growth will continue from now until the heat death of the universe.
Have you ever met a single person who requested anything other than "he", "she", or "they"?

Those aren't "custom pronouns". Are you pushing back against a real phenomena?
> He figured he could get stuck for hours if he tried to call in the officer’s supervisor. So he gave in.

This is the unfortunate reality of CBP (and the TSA): they can make your life miserable if they’d like to, so most people just accept it in the interest of being able to get out of it quickly and going wherever they need to.
Yes, lost among the many people rushing to comment here is context about a real dynamic that exists in some faux-inclusive, usually queer or queer-adjacent but not trans-friendly, spaces. People will advocate for singular they, solely so they do not have to use "he" or "she" for trans people, playing a shell game to misgender people while claiming not to.

It's fine to use singular "they" to refer to anyone. It's fine to write avoiding pronouns. But if you only use singular they when referring to (even specific) trans people, or only avoid pronouns when referring to (even specific) non-binary people, that's just being coy about your transphobia.

Whether that's what happened here, I suspect we will never know unless all relevant logs leak - neither side has much to gain from in going into subtleties like this.
Ferguson writes, "During the public offering, the underwriters forced Jobs to distribute about 15 percent of the stock among key employees, because nobody would have invested otherwise...but many were shut out entirely, including some who had spent many years creating the technology."
I've literally never seen a LGBTQ+ person object to LGBTQ+. Some folks prefer other formulations (e.g. QUILTBAG), but I've never seen objections or offense at LGBTQ+.

I've seen folks object to LGB, or LGBT as exclusionary for sure though.
This is a case in which a Code of Conduct actually creates confusion instead of dispelling it. The more I think about it the sadder it is. It's tragic when there should be a rule but when you reach for it you find instead there is an empty space surrounded by razor wire where a rule should be.
Since Mun targets LLVM could it also be output to WASM to be using in-browser for HTML5 builds?
In meatspace this issue is quite different, and I have no issue with using what someone wants. What about using they for everyone, preferred pronouns or not? It seems more logical to not make distinctions at all, and just use one term, they, for everyone. In other languages one can simply omit the subject as well.
I think there is plenty of leeway and acceptance for honest mistakes here. I don't think many people are easily offended by mistakes.
> Will all Stack Exchange sites add a "pronouns" field to user profiles that can be displayed along with user IDs?

You ask this rhetorically and like it's some big challenge, but it's genuinely a good idea and straightforward to implement for any community site.
It's intentionally ignorant of change, intentionally aiming to derail redemption and forgiveness, and intentionally crafting an isolated narrative without constructing the /actual/ context of those historical posts. It's a very narrow, distorted view.
The limiting function for money creation is the amount of wealth available to absorb it (both stock and flow).

Presently, that is secondary; the limiting function is the ability of civilization to maintain the interest payments to those private institutions mandated to create the money supply.

One of these concepts is necessary; the other is not.

Creation of dynamic money supplies based on the one limiting function is possible, and there are emerging mechanisms becoming available to support such money at scale — and make it available to the other ~4 billion people entirely unserved by the present system.

They are medical devices that provide diagnostic information so they would require licensing regardless. The tongue depressor is a class 1 medical device.

In the case of a CGM like Dexcom or attached meter like Freestyle Libre or a glucose meter that takes a drop of blood on a strip, or even glucose monitoring urine strips: all require FDA approval to be marketed as a diagnostic tool. They have to show a certain tolerance of accuracy and be manufactured under GMP. The FDA isn't messing around.

I've been down this path with the FDA in a prior life so I'm not just speculating.

(Also FWIW the extremely thin needles used in the mounted devices aren't referred to as "microneedles" -- that term is used for a different technology used in some drug delivery patches.)
The whole narrative that the media are the enemy of the people needs to die and soon or we will all regret it. The darkest ages of mankind started out with the governments of the day attacking the media and when that happens you know there is a bunch of stuff going on that can't see the light of day. Fish rots from the head, it's a repeating pattern and the border patrol feeling empowered to do this is a clear sign that should not go ignored.
Cool. I assumed it was unintentional. Once you do that I'm in.

This is my experience with everything LastPass touches. Chrome, Firefox, Standalone, iOS, same unresponsive nonsense. Thankfully that's limited to only the corporate environment for me, but if you have a choice, 1password has been amazingly slick for me outside of it.
My issue with articles and stances like this is that I agree that rent seeking behavior is obviously an issue. Rent seeking is by definition unproductive economic behavior. But the existence of rent seeking does not serve as proper indictment of capitalism in general.

Capitalism has been an effective and great tool and system in many ways, it just needs focus on the improper practices.
Not only is it not difficult to use someone's correct name and pronouns, frankly it's just basic politeness to call people what they want to be called.
In theory yes, but we have to look into that some more. At this point we only target Windows, MacOS and Linux but WASM is definitely on our list.
Note: “Teddy” is usually short for “Theodore”, not “Robert”.
Honestly sounds like the mods were just ginning up for a fight. They would rather force people into compliance with difficult rules while the writer of this piece was looking to reduce conflict. It's not exclusive to LGBTQ+ and is a pretty common theme in any subculture. Some people just live to enforce rules and any chance to create new and obscure rules is like catnip to them.

If I can rope this back into something more relatable to the HN crowds, this is like the agile gurus who present an inviolable 87-step process to achieve agility while completely ignoring the actual goals of the process.
> Connect your website to all the services that Google offers: Google Analytics, Google Search Console, Google My Business, YouTube… Google [...] created them to collect and analyze as much information about you as possible.

Or rather, as much information about the users as possible. Add Google Fonts to the mix, also the hosted JS frameworks. Anything hosted by Google that is requested via your web site is information about the visitor for Google. This is evil in its purest form, but if you are to play the game then play it in full.
Accepted by some people, yes, but how will you know in advance whether it is acceptable to your audience? You could be treading on someone's preferences just the same as if you use the term "themself" in reference to a person who turns out to prefer "zirself".
Do still bugs me because it obscures what's really going on. I'd rather work with monads directly, even though it requires more verbosity.
Nah, the idea of realtime communication between browser and server is as old as javascript. I implemented my first version in 1997, using hidden iframes loading scripts, but I don't imagine I was the first to do so.

Relevant to the article, I actually also implemented a draggable map that loaded tiles dynamically on demand for a little failed outdoor startup in 1998. The limiting factor back then was actually the server. You just couldn't store enough tiles on the drives of the day, or generate them fast enough from gis with the machines available.

The thing would work nicely, so long as there was only one person using it. ...which isn't really the sort of scale one would wish for in a web app.
Might be a bit meta but could it be that there's a pretty widespread attitude of 'wanting to be offended' and black and white 'with me or against me' thinking in America (sorry if over-generalizing here), judging from what I get to see on Twitter?

How's a society supposed to work like this? Could it be that assuming good faith more often might be a starting point for a solution to a lot of problems, this one included?
For me, the activation energy for writing used to be high because I found I couldn't muster up inspiration when I needed it. Then I realized something about myself: for me, inspiration is episodic. It comes in chunks, rarely all at once. So my solution was:

1) Observe the world, pay attention to things.

2) Jot down snippets of observations/ideas in a single Google Docs document (available on almost any platform). Don't try to organize it. Keep it really simple. The key is to keep it low effort and frictionless.

3) Look over the Google Docs document from time to time. When you have enough ideas coalescing in a cluster/theme, feel them out. When the cluster feels like it's ready i.e. you feel an emotional connection to it, start writing. Important tip: don't feel you have to finish writing in one sitting -- you can stop, let your writing sit, and keep re-clustering until you have something that is worth putting out there.

Gerald Weinberg calls this the Fieldstone method [1] -- the basic idea is to continuously collect, and only write about what you care about. I think it's a useful approach. I personally don't find the streams-of-consciousness approach very compelling (didn't like Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway). Streams-of-consciousness is good for very artsy-fartsy, avant-garde type works, but to me good writing comes from a lifetime of collecting experiences, observations and ideas and coalescing them.

On mistakes: I used to have a lot of anxiety about my grammar/mechanics because I'm sloppy, but I learned from an editing coach that "everybody could use a good editor". Focus on getting your ideas right -- if it's worth putting out there, you can always hire an editor to help tighten your copy. Development editors will help you build your piece, line/copy editors can fix your style and mechanics, fact-checkers can help with research on veracity. There are at least 9 types of editors, each for different stages of writing [2]. But you have to first have an idea that is worth communicating.

I think you might have misunderstood why that is.
Do you have a hard time to understand from the context whether "you" is plural or singular? It seems like it is the same problem but nobody is out there arguing that we should find a way to disambiguate this.
Plenty of places already charge an equivalent to gas taxes for electric vehicles. In my US state, it's paid with your yearly registration.

My city initially gave away free charging to lower air pollution, which wasn't on your list of reasons. 6 years after that start, they've started charging.

> The warning comes as pension firms across Europe struggle to generate the returns they need to cover their growing obligations. In Denmark, some funds saddled with legacy policies guaranteeing returns as high as 4.5% have had to use equity to meet their obligations.

Using equity to meet current obligations sounds a lot like a Ponzi scheme:

> A Ponzi scheme ... is a form of fraud that lures investors and pays profits to earlier investors with funds from more recent investors.[2] The scheme leads victims to believe that profits are coming from product sales or other means, and they remain unaware that other investors are the source of funds.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponzi_scheme

Provided that the equity drain is limited in scope, a pension fund can continue to fight another year.

The more interesting (or scary) question is what happens when tapping into the equity becomes the norm? At what point does the fund manager level with pensioners and inform them that the fund is in fact insolvent?
I welcome you to enlighten me. Unless you're going to suggest that all Slavic people are homophobic (as many Westerners seem to believe), in which case you'd be dead wrong.
That's an interesting question.

That is simply untrue. You can uninstall approximately half of the bloatware, and on occasion they do reappear after 'feature updates'.

Win 10 Pro comes with the following, all of which have the "Uninstall" disabled:

Xbox Game Bar
Your Phone
Maps
Camera

And this is after removing many other apps that are objectively bloatware. Myself and many others I've spoken to simply want Win10Pro to be closer to LTSB than Home. It doesn't need to be stable enough to run unattended for years at a time, it just needs to be lightweight and without the Start Menu being populated with dozens of things a power user will never touch.

I'm sure if I cared enough there's some hacky way to remove them (at least superficially), but I've been down that road enough times only to have it all reversed after an update.
> They suddenly in few years closed all nuclear which imcreased all need for coal.

Since the decision to close nuclear plants was taken the proportion of German electrical generation supplied by coal has been cut in half. So, no, it didn't increase demand for coal.
What? You can't say "call me they/them," rather you can only say "don't call me him/her/or any other pronoun besides they"? That's very silly.

Clarification of rules, even to the point where they may seem redundant, is completely fine and often important. This is such a weird hill for them to die on.

SO seemed all crazypants to me years ago when all of the moderators started zealously closing down topics as off-topic or duplicate that the moderator had clearly misunderstood.

That desire to maintain some precious perfect garden of facts drove me to leave and never look back. Glad I did.
I feel like there's part of this story I'm not hearing because just using gender neutral language for everyone on its own shouldn't be offensive. Unless, as I said in my other reply, you're basically doing it to avoid having to gender someone correctly.

I certainly wouldn't expect somebody to know what my pronouns are over the Internet. I try very hard to present in a way that is identified as female in real life, but the Internet? It's not like I try to write in a feminine way or anything, there's just no way you would know.
The answer to the questions asked on StackExchange have nothing to do with the gender of the asker, they are intended for anyone who has the same question.

> This seems silly. You use on the other hand to contrast two viewpoints.

I remember (from a psychology book, actually) that the reasoning is: what you say impacts what you think.

You want to compare two viewpoints. But you arrogantly think that these are the only 2 viewpoints that can possibly exist.

If you keep using "on the other hand", you will be inclined to see things as black and white.

It's a valid argument, though one might wonder how much wording impacts our internal mind.
