And the truth is that even when you live in a country where 24 hours notation is commonly used, like I do, you'll still more often say "5 in the afternoon", than 17 hours. The latter form is used in writing when you wish to sound more formal or when you really want to make sure there's no ambiguity. And not in the "army" style like 17 hundred, but you just say 17 or in written form 17h. All in all, it's just a matter of notation, once you're used to it sufficiently it translates to the clock face the same. Whether it's written as 13h or 1pm I visualise it exactly the same.
There's a basic assumption you have to make, anything we don't know how to quantify isn't worth considering. That's how we got standardized testing. We get fairness by treating everyone equally, without compassion, without empathy.
Your math doesn't work out there though. If we had 30 day months, we would end up with 360 days spread among 12 months, and an extra 5 days leftover.

28 day months make far more sense, would align nicely with your proposed single New Year's day, and have the added bonus of aligning with our 7-day week system quite nicely. This ends up with 13 months altogether, and hey, it turns out that 28 days is closer to a lunar cycle, so the full moon would end up happening at roughly the same time every month. Not perfectly of course, but with the chaos that is our solar system, I'll take what I can get.

I mean, that sounds infuriating to me, because it means to get complex effects you have to go and buy rares and shinies on the secondary market. I guess that was always the downside to playing a CCG rather than a straightforward tabletop RPG, though.
Brief note, this is from a while ago. I haven't read it recently, but it may or may not be fully accurate with current rust.

Ethically speaking, what should developed nations do to assist people living in, for example, sub-Saharan Africa, who have no resources with which to relocate, and are already suffering the consequences of climate change? I consider it a catastrophic situation, even though I'm personally not among the sick, dying, or refugees. I don't think it's fear-mongering to acknowledge the massive harm industrial nations are causing to real human beings, and to demand solutions of policy-makers, even if those solutions are costly.
I have nothing against co-sleeping, since it is great for attachment, which we are big on. I just couldn't do it from a practical perspective: it means one of the parents is going to bed at the same time as the kids, every single night. Our neighbours cosleep and while they had less sleep issues than we did early on, we are now more free at night to have a bit of our own life at night. As anything with parenting, it's different for everyone of course.

Edit: i realize now that you may have done this for the first few weeks or months, in which case it's not a huge deal. The neighbors in my example are still cosleeping with their 2.5 year old.
The introduction of derision into a discussion is often a sign of weakness.
Or, if everyone used the same time zone, you just write down "Mary's work hours are 1:00-9:00," and then you know whether or not you can interrupt them.
Scheduling a recurring meeting of busy people (think college students with busy schedules) across continents, cultures and countries is hard enough without timezones and arbitrary changes in daylight savings time.

For example, Dubai doesn't have DST - it never changes relative to the others. Kosovo and Croatia change a week before the U.S. changes. Then the U.S. changes but Dubai doesn't.

For about 6 weeks out of the year, scheduling is confusing chaos, and a workable schedule under one time configuration very likely doesn't work for the others, keeping in mind that a midday meeting in the U.S. is pushing on midnight in Dubai and family time in central Europe.

The whole situation is a disaster, and while manageable, certainly takes a lot of effort, planning, and luck to get right.
Reason there is no option on chrome: google serves 99.9% of the fonts online for "free".

That means every site with a custom font from google now leaks the page and time you are accessing to them.

Same reason they forbid disabling 3rd party referrer on chrome.

If you have to _guess_ someone's availability, then their local time with some knowledge about their lifestyle is probably the best indicator. But technology allows us to communicate at almost light speed, so we don't have to guess anymore. I can just try calling and if it doesn't work out then we can at least use async messages to schedule a syncronous session. Eventually, if it's a regular thing, you will learn when to call for a successful sync session regardless of how we describe time (as long as there is some periodicity to it).

Spot on. And it's certainly better than what chrome does, or at least used to do. Which is no encryption at all.

The only other option is to use something like this to-do it yourself.

Contract Bridge is a lot of fun, but definitely not as popular in the US as it used to be.
What I typically do when a new set comes out is to buy 3 to 4 "boxes" of the set (around 100 booster packs). Over the next couple of months I'll draft the set with friends or we will do casual sealed tournaments etc. (You need 24 boosters for an 8 man draft or 6 booster per person to run a sealed tournament.). There is a group of us who get together every fortnight or so to play limited like this - usually over a few beers.

By the time I've opened all the product I generally have copies of most of the set's staple rares and I can trade or sell anything I do not need.

It is a sizeable chunk of cash upfront if you specifically want to play constructed you can acquire 'singles' in pieces and build towards a deck over the season that way. I do not play standard at all. I'm a big eternal format fan (especially Legacy). Once you acquire those cards you can play with them forever.

One thing I have noticed is a lot of eternal format cards are getting thrown into supplemental sets (i.e True Name Nemesis, Shardless Agent, Council's Judgement, Containment Priest, Dack Fayden) stuff like that. Which tends to spike the price.

Competitive Magic has a financial barrier to entry, yes, and always has. In that sense it's no different from any other hobby (and is cheaper than quite a few).

Also it's generally a very bad idea to try to build your own decks from scratch if you want to be competitive. Although things shift far more often (due to new sets and rotating formats), competitive Magic is similar to chess in that you're better off studying and mastering known-good decks, since very few people can reliably outperform the ruthlessly honed decks produced by the worldwide competitive community.

But in my experience there are a few more 9's on your "works" number for a specific issue.

Hardware-related problems are so fucking hard to debug in a lab. Many of the issues i've dealt with in the past only show up with pretty esoteric hardware mixtures, or are so specific that i'd be surprised if more than one person has that exact config on the planet.

A test lab might be able to get maybe a hundred different configurations. But in the wild, something like 60% of our users are on unique hardware configurations (as in nobody else has that exact set of hardware among our users).

Telemetry is pretty much the only real way you are going to be able to support a wide range of hardware when you start interacting with it on the lower levels, because buying and assembling all the different configurations is all but impossible, even if you prioritised it.

Because of MESA, also nvidia tried to make Optimus work on Linux when it supported it couldn't.

Intel doesn't supports GPU switching on its MESA drivers it requires the proprietary one.

Get the prop nvidia and intel drivers and get nvidia prime and you are golden.

If the GPIO pins were compatible, then you could probably use libraries and HW accessories from the RPi ecosystem. Unfortunately, the article doesn't specify whether that's the case.
Twitter Could Have Become a Protocol
Maybe I'm the contrarian. I don't mind timezones at all. The thing that throws us for a loop is changing the timezone either temporarily due to some custom (Daylight Savings, Ramadan, elections, etc.) or permanently with little notice (populist tendencies in governments).

I maintain timezone infrastructure and what I'd rather see is an international treaty that all changes to country timezones require some standard period of notice. Even 90 days would be better than what we have now. Getting international politicians to care about timezones seems like a losing proposition before even starting, so I was imagining a "hack" to an existing treaty. The best one I could think of was an amendment to the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Perhaps if governments were made aware that screwing with, say, DST 3 days before it is about to go into effect would violate some treaty, they would shy away from that behavior. I know that's something the IATA could get behind.

I agree with your point about avoiding vendor lockins, something I experienced for myself with MATLAB. I also happened to buy a RX 480 recently, so I'm happy to hear it's good for GPGPU.

But I'm curious in how the FLOPS on these cards were measured. For example one concern I have is that presumably these two cards have slightly different levels of parallelism. So it may be more or less difficult to extract the full performance from a particular card due to parallelism overhead. Then there's driver overhead, ease of programming, etc.
I've been playing magic competitively for a while now, and I have to say I agree that the recent sets after the so-called "new world order" are much more dumbed down. But you should play legacy or vintage (with proxies) just to see how crazy complex the game remains. Legacy remains extremely healthy and robust in my opinion, and has continued to tease my brain more than any other game.
It's a pay-to-win game

Except that it's not.

If you and I played a round of golf, where I used a standard set of golf clubs (not cheap) and you used a hand-whittled tree branch, it's highly likely that I would beat you regardless of our relative skill level. This does not mean golf is "pay-to-win", though; if you and I both played with the standard clubs, skill would determine the outcome. And even if you played with an average but acceptable set of clubs while I splurged on super-fancy clubs, you'd still beat me reliably if you were the more skilled player.

Magic is much the same way. There is certainly a financial barrier to entry, which must be cleared if you want to succeed in competitive play. And if you pit someone who has cleared that barrier against someone who has not, skill is much reduced as a factor in determining the outcome. But competitive Magic is like everyone having at least a basic decent set of golf clubs: everyone playing competitively has made the up-front investment in the game, and now they are distinguished by skill rather than further spending.
PeakOil-the-movement shares the same strenghts and weaknesses of many other engineering spawns: The stuff they predicted got all the technical details correct to a remarkable degree, yet they failed to grasp the economic and political implications, and made a communication fiasco out of it. I find it very sad and ironic.

I'd urge you to not throw the baby out with the bathwater. I can share that I have taken life decisions under the assumption that resource depletion will be a real socioeconomic force during the second half of my life; yet you will notice that ditching my programming career and moving to an organic farm in the middle of nowhere were not among those decisions (yet).

That's exactly the point, restaurants don't scale well. Ten restaurants need almost ten times as many workers as one restaurant. Apple does not need nearly ten times as many workers to sell ten times as many iPhones.

If headcount grows linearly with your business size, your business has some issues with scaling that you need to solve.
In my country (Poland) there was such an initiative, but was turned down by officials. Their explanation was that "EU law does not allow that" (a single state to ditch DST).

First, your sources don't demonstrate a damn thing. CBS isn't a respected source of information in the tech community. As a rule, we'd prefer to see documentation and data so that we can arrive at our own conclusions. MSM provides neither, instead it cherry picks information to sell more ads. You can hardly trust anything so biased.

Second, you're statement "Malice should be the last, not the first assumption" is fundamentally incorrect. You shouldn't make any assumptions, you should look at the facts. While the intent may be benign, the effect is wide spread distrust, which is not and should be addressed accordingly.
Another option is to store your full PW and/or user name. For example, add a +++ to every pw but don't store that bit in the PWM. If nothing else, it makes things that much less obvious
I've studied Elon Musk pretty closely, and have tried to find others that are similar, but I'm not aware of anyone, at least English-speaking.

The thing that really sets him apart, in my opinion, and something that a lot of people don't fully appreciate - is that he is the lead engineer / chief designer at Tesla and SpaceX.

So, you basically have in one person, someone who is both able to grow a multi-billion dollar company, while also leading the design and engineering of the products. It's very rare to find an individual with this type of skill running such a large company. For example, the CEOs of SpaceX and Tesla's competitors cannot really delve too deep into the engineering details.

If that were it, Elon would still be impressive, but he goes way further than this.

He is not only running one multi-billion dollar company, but two simultaneously. (You can almost say he is running 4 multi-billion dollar companies simultaneously if you include Solar City, and if you see the Gigafactory as a separate entity, not to mention he also oversees Open AI, which is very impressive by itself (he says he spends one day a week on it).

If that were it, Elon would be in a league of his own already, but what makes it even more impressive is that the companies he runs are both in very complex industries, and he is revolutionizing both industries.
Medical software certainly does. I imagine financial software as well.

Dude it's his duty as a representative of shareholders. Shareholders deserve to have all offers for the company heard, and all possible acquirers notified so that the shareholders get the best possible offer.

Boards focus on representing shareholders. CEOs do too, mostly, but I'd argue that focusing on providing value to customers, which will in turn better provide value for shareholders, should be the main focus, because big companies too often lose sight of what the hell it is they're doing that is actually of value.
For me, at least, the hardest part is actually executing on what you think you should do.
This is a really good point and I don't disagree with it. I'd tend to prefer to store in UTC and store the associated timezone separately.

I think in the future the number of people commuting to their jobs will be decreasing. Anyway, let's keep to the present.

You could optimize the location of the zones for traffic. For example, we know that everyone will sleep at some point, so the resting zone could be at the center of the city. Then throughout the day, people would commute in and out of the center in all directions at about a constant rate. That's already a lot better if you consider road and parking space utilization, than 2x1 hour rushes in specific directions like we have now. The main benefit is spreading traffic across time, not space though.

Also, rush hours are not limited to traffic. You can experience them in stores, offices, restaurants, pretty much everywhere as most people with 9-5 jobs try and run their errands in the very limited time before/after work.

And time wouldn't change between zones, neither would our measurement of time. This is all in addition to abolishing time zones. Once you dump the notion of 'local time night is for sleeping, local time 9-5 is for working' all this seems like the next logical step to me.
Thanks for sharing this. This type of behavior is really bothersome and sadly many general internet users probably won't see this post
I live 1.2 miles from a Caltrain station. The office where I work is 1.1 miles from a Caltrain station.

On days when it's raining or I'm feeling too tired to walk, I can Lyft to the station or ride a commute.org shuttle that gets to Caltrain and has a pickup/dropoff spot a block from my apartment.

Which is a good thing, because the parking lot at the Caltrain station is completely full by the time I wake up (and shifting my schedule 2-3 hours earlier would take away my ability to actually work with the people I work with).
This article makes a bunch of good points, but I'd like to deal with this: "A technological advance in the sense of a de-condensation is by its nature something that does not fit in the existing order."

A little jargon-heavy, and I think the author just tossed that off without thinking about short-term consequences of it. "Does not fit in the existing order" can be confused with "harmful to the existing order", and maybe it actually is harmful. What is the purpose of dragnet surveillance but to prevent harm to the existing order? One more step, and we have universal surveillance squashing technological innovation. I don't think that's too far fetched, actually.
