Time Runs Faster on the Moon

 TIL, that as we develop sophisticated computer systems on the Moon, we will have to deal with the fact that -- because of General Relativity -- Moon time actually runs at a different speed then Earth time. ie "microseconds" tick of at a slightly different rate on the Moon vs on Earth. 

And computers these days are fast enough that this difference can introduce synchronization problems. Also potential problems with navigation computation.

NASA is developing a proposed standard for a special lunar time-zone and time-scale.

"The moon runs about 56 microseconds faster than on Earth." According to one commenter she meant 56 msecs "per day".

Pronouns

I respect anyone who wants to be referred to with certain pronouns. And I do my best to comply with those wishes. But as for myself, I'm content to be referred to by whatever pronouns seem obvious. 

Sometimes I feel like we put too much weight on whether we're seen as a boy or a girl, as if one is better than the other. 

Of course, I'm usually perceived as being a he/him, which still conveys on me a lot of perks that I haven't earned, and that's not ok. So how do we go about fixing that? 

It's just, I'm not sure that putting all this emphasis on he vs. she is the right way to do it.
