If I had only access to supervised internet there is absolutely no way I'd have the job I have today. (or at least, I'd have it 10 years later) I agree with you up to the age of maybe 10-12, beyond that you're restricting a fully capable mind from connecting with the rest of humanity and learning. If the skill to navigate the internet isn't developed at a younger age, it'll be painfully developed as an adult much more slowly, and any mistakes much longer lasting.
You should allow requests to add or alter data, mostly like nomadlist.com do (example [1]). The owner could discuss and accept or reject the request. I think it would enrich the plan much quicker. Congrats for the launch!

Time zones can have any granularity desired. Most are 1 hour, several are 30 minutes (including in India and Australia), and a few are 45 minutes (in New Zealand, for example). There’s no rule though about granularity though.
> If you're buying an Android device, you're statistically likely trying to save money and therefore a new iPhone isn't a realistic option.

Disagree strongly. Yes, plenty of Android phones come in at lower price-points so they will be more appealing to people looking to save money when purchasing a smartphone. But calling this is "statistically likely" is a gross exaggeration of the situation.
this is going to be annoying to implement in software.
> Just go into work an hour early, and leave an hour early.

Boss, clients, etc won't allow me to.

That's exactly^H^H^H^H effectively what DST is.
Most countries agree to use a 1-hour division, but not all. Iran's offset, for example, is +3:30.
Well, Angular has a very heavy initialization penalty, enough that I know of a few companies that ditched it for React. I'll also add, as your front-end becomes more complex and uses a number of different libraries, the bundle becomes huge. There's ways around this of course, but some of pure JS stuff can get ugly quick.
Using a robot arm to lay one brick at a time would seem like the most inefficient way to go about this. Surely parallelization by laying many bricks at a time would go much faster.

They've had brick paver laying machines for years that do a whole road/path at a time, albeit without mortar. http://twistedsifter.com/2012/07/tiger-stone-brick-laying-ma... .
> If it is a matter of coordination, have an official government statement that summer business hours adjust during x - z months.

Its a whole lot easier (especially now that clocks can largely set themselves, but even before that) to change the clocks by an hour twice a year rather than every schedule (at least, all business hours and all schedules for everything else that is driven by common business hours, like transit schedules) with similar frequency.

I'm not a big DST fan, but DST is a better solution than your proposed alternative.
3 Emerging Trends from SXSW 2018 That Marketers Should Know
Does this mean that the source code for web services should be free, so a user can repair it?
Yes, and new Android phones start as low as $30-$50.

Example: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EYT1URO/
2 things:

1/ Dev: Stop hiring whiteboard coders.

2/ Product: Stop hiring MBA's who can tell you a lot about strategies and nothing about building solutions.

Long story short, fix the hiring process in tech and you'll see a much better outcome. Customers and Users ain't care about my GPA, they want pretty solutions. Hire people who know how to build nice products, not how to sort a linked list in 2 minutes on a whiteboard under pressure. Google started that trend back in 2000 and everyone followed... Guess what, Google products have always been the worst products out there in terms of User Experience.
Of course the other option is to get up with the sunrise. Nobody forces you to sleep until 7AM or whatever.
Price loyalty for Android is not as true today as it was 3 years ago. Apple now sells a variety of phones ranging from $350 to $1000+ USD. In developed countries, this certainly allows consumers to cross shop between Android and iOS.
Thank you so much, I may take you up on that - this looks very interesting to me, and I started watching the Learn TLA+ video series.

I'll for sure be looking over the stuff you just linked.
This problem is inherent to having timezones that are an hour long. You're stuck with it unless you are willing to add a bunch more timezones, e.g. have 7 going across the country in 30 minute increments. I think that might be worse than aberrant sunrise/sunset times at the edges of the existing hourlong timezones.
This solution makes a lot more sense than time zones.
Or, why is the solution not "who cares, we have electric lights."?
It is very intermittent, and I don't usually record all my clicks, but I will try to catch it somehow.
TAI everywhere, if you don't want to deal with fiddling adjustments.
Its software built up from useful abstract blocks. Small parts like generators, gliders and eaters are used to build an information storage tape, and a tape fed universal constructor.

From there it's the "simple" process of designing a tape and constructor setup that will build a copy of itself at a certain offset, and delete itself upon completion.
There are actually a few 30 minute and I think even 15 minute timezones.
It's the tilt of the Earth's fault, not the timezones. All of main is North of Detroit and more timezones isn't going to change that.
I think it would take much more agreement and coordination to reorganize timezones and would also invite more complexity into the system. It requires more effort to change the status quo. While not reverting to standard time / keeping daylight savings requires that Florida basically does not have to change at all, not adjusts the clocks again and keep the current timescale.
Fun fact, Nepal's timezone is UTC+5:45.
As a web developer: screw you Florida!
This was posted recently on reddit to much skepticism. Apparently the group who funded the study is known for pushing a specific agenda. More info: https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/82rl2n/bones_found...
Pre-modern views on this is that you are supposed to align with the natural order of the world. If we are waking up at the same clock time and it is darker, we are not living in a way that is aligned. It is darker because it is closer to winter, a time when emotions, metabolisms, and such all shift towards less activity and more reflection. Kids went to bed because the whole family, the whole community ran on sunup and sundown.

I'm not suggesting we go backwards towards a pre-modern time. We do have some great flaws in what we are doing now (modernity). Our civilization runs on clock time and is very productive, yet we live in very dysfunctional and unhealthy ways.
Come on, acting dramatic without offering anything to the discussion is completely useless behavior. Why is it terrible?
Can’t be said enough. There are good reasons to choose either platform - Apple devices tend to be a little slicker and have better software, but there is a much wider variety of Android devices and the experience is more customisable.

It’s still useful to know what way the market is moving and customers’ perception of devices to help us make informed choices about things like device support. But it’s not a competition for anybody except Apple and Android phone manufacturers; pick the platform that suits your needs and ecosystem best, and it’ll be fine.
I'd rather they just remove numbers from most 'clocks' (for humans) and instead define things like "morning" "lunch" "evening" as official designations relative to UTC (but humans would normally not see that offset) and list times like...

(City) Morning + 2.5 hours

$350 gets you a 6 years old phone design, an iPhone 5 with better internals.
$700 gets you a 4 years old phone design, an iPhone 6 with better internals.
$1000 gets you a brand new iPhone.

I got a Sony XZ1 Compact for €500 and it works the same or better than an iPhone.
There's a ton of existing contracts and agreements that reference particular times. It's much more efficient to just move solar noon over an hour than to renegotiate all those agreements, assuming that the new time is considered "better".
Why the downvotes? Is this an automated flagging system for the n-word?
So really this is just a demonstration of the truck being remote controlled and being monitored by a full-time driver in a remote location? Okay, I can see why that's an important tool to make this a viable product, but it doesn't scale and doesn't strike me as a differentiator (I know some of your competitors already do this).

Anyway, rather than argue, I wish you luck. I've got no horse in this race.

I think things would adapt to the automation, everything about trucks / freight is built for humans. If trucks could hand off their freight from one truck to another automatically that would help a lot. Smaller containers more trucks could help a lot. I would think the managment of trucks / freight can be done as a service. Tow trucks could be automated. Everything about freight/trucks would look different once it hits a tipping point. But I think it's going to take a while to get there.
That’s exactly what DST is

No, it’s not.

Time zones and DST change clock time, this suggestion is to instead change the agreed times for work in a given place.
Are you on Indiehackers? It's a whole community of people who'll tell you that you need to launch now - and how, and why.
But this plugin is, framed in terms you might be more familiar with, a plugin that wraps the "shell out to the tmux pane then copy the output into the buffer I'm in" step. That's it.

This isn't a vim-integrated shell solution, it's a way to avoid those, for exactly the reasons you say. Repl integration isn't about embedding a prompt in your editor, it's about bypassing the interactive prompt because you already have a place to write and read text - an editor buffer. I should have used a different term obviously, that one is actually misleading.

Part of the reason I'm curious is I regularly do Clojure training and see this pattern over and over: "I don't like working that way, that sounds bad. [hours later it clicks] Oh! I see what you mean, this is great. This is the way I like working but easier! I thought you meant something different".
How is it a gross exaggeration?

The average selling price of an Android phone is $227. The ASP of an iPhone is $692.

https://www.androidauthority.com/price-gap-samsung-apple-sma...

The fact is if your budget for a phone is $300. You're going to buy an Android.

EDIT:

The link above compares Apple and Samsung. The gap is even wider when you take all manufacturers into account. $691 - $215.

Not the same problem they do different things.

Most important thing for frontend is mvvm or mv* you get from frameworks and imopsed structure. If you have popup on page where you edit some object in a list updating that object with jquery is mess. Even better if you have the same object property diaplayed in multiple places. You just have one backing model like scope in angular or model in Vue or Knockout. Then DOM or your html is updated automagically by framework. If you add some custom business rules, good luck maintaining it in jQuery or plain js. You would need to have military grade team not usual (as in herding cats) devs.

In my humble the focus should be less on memcached, which is today's problem. It should be on IP spoofing in general:

We will have amplification attacks as long as we have ISPs that permit (and benefit) from spoofing.

Was this meant to be sarcastic? I feel like most of the article was serious, but the author can't possibly be asserting that this is somehow part of the typical middle class "dream"?

Edit:

I feel like I've seen this a lot lately, controversial points/jabs being tossed in the middle of unrelated arguments. My personal feelings on the authors statement aside, it seems like an ineffective form of persuasion to make an argument which many people may agree with, then pollute it with random additional politics, without any real qualification or explanation.
I like it, it's very tasteful... I hope it does come back, because I find the flat / whitespace / no decoration UI craze to be boring.
10 minutes? Wow! It's probably due to the initial gradle build.

On my laptop, after a new "git clone", the whole build takes 18s for me.

If I use the prebuilt server (https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy#prebuilt-server), so that it only compiles the client, it takes 0.8s.
Why do farmers care when other people wake up?
I think by "statistically likely" they just mean "more than 50%," or, in other words, that lower-price-point Android phones outsell top-shelf ones. Given that upmarket they compete with the iPhone but downmarket they pretty much own the entire product space, this doesn't seem particularly unrealistic to me.
Congrats, you just launched :)
I hope my own state follows suit.

Before I became a parent, I found the shift to and from daylight savings time a mild annoyance.

By the time I had an infant and a toddler, I was roundly cursing whomever decided that arbitrarily slip-shifting our clocks twice a year was a good idea. Kids' sleep schedules don't adjust instantaneously, and when they're too young for explanations to mean much it means it's a twice-a-year festival of not-enough-sleep.
other things to consider is the fact that for a run of the mill Android the insurance cost is significantly less and the deductible in some cases $100 compared to the $250 for an iPhone. Those who realized that the first time around would reconsider buying an Android as their next phone.

Apple is not innovating as they used to in their phone and so Android is quickly closing the gap, which makes them financially speaking more viable option.
This is what you see when you go to the link:

"We do not have any open positions. We did not post the listing on the Remote OK site and they have been asked to remove it."
No, it would not work that way. If none of the companies produce repairable machines that also satisfy other constraints of consumers, this problem would not be satisfied by the market.
The real reason for large DDoS attacks? It's IP Spoofing, not memcached
So you want to abolish time zones: https://qntm.org/abolish
The interesting part is that almost every time the amplification factor increased. NTP was a big iirc, but this is really huge. I find it hard to believe they'll ever discover something that yields an even higher ratio, but saying "never" in this kind of situation will eventually make one look stupid one day.

Thinking about it, I could imagine a bug in some software where it just takes one malformed UDP packet to trigger an infinite amount of response packets or something like that. That would be so bad it starts being hilarious again.
> But just to be clear, it's really a function of what you're building.

110% agree here. Sometimes I just need a simple selector/UI event lib and don't want to fart around with the verbosity of vanilla JS - so I still pull jQuery (slimmed) in for a some things these days. It's non-opinionated with how I use it and it's almost universally understood by JS frontend devs. It's also very cross-platform friendly.

Now for Angular, React, Vue, etc. Some are less opinionated than others, but I spend too much time thinking about how to do something elegantly within the constraints of the framework to "follow suit" with their established best practices.

ALSO - I've seen FAR too many of these frameworks fall out of favor over the years: Knockout, Backbone, blah blah. My product lifecycle requires 3-10 years worth of forward maintenance/support/features and for the last decade jQuery is/has been the most stable and widely adopted option. (think Debian stable sorta mentality - I still have 1.* in the wild... on purpose for legacy browser support)

> For example, I'm shocked how many simple static sites are built with React.

Man - me too. It's like using a pneumatic hammer for a roofing nail. I mean, it works ... but why...?
commenters seem to be missing the sentence about "Florida doesn’t have the authority to adopt daylight saving time year-round." this is just state politicians being state politicians. Nothing to see here. Lets just say Florida politicians probably have more important things to do and aren't doing them, and leave it at that.
This is reporting on an MIT study on fake news. The findings include that false information pretty much always wins, i.e. that people prefer to spread falsehoods than truth. And it doesn't seem to have anything to do with bots, surmising it might be something embedded in human nature.

falsehoods were still 70 percent more likely to get retweeted than accurate news
Also if we could decimalize it too that would be great. Not sure if I want 10 hours or day, or ten in the morning and ten afternoon, but would be a big improvement over the current dozen.
Why not just switch everything to metric seconds?
When I programmed with them , I quickly learned time zones are 100% politics and 0% systematic. By politics I mean what government is actually over that stretch of territory. Where they’re not opportune they’re set by some government probably far away.
It's been a few years, but my winning strategy was using the square ship which I think had a self repair function or similar and disabling the boss ship as much as possible through fires, teleporting people to disable specific guns and using ion weapons.

As someone who follows Kyle's work I can say that with Jepsen it's only impressive and shows how serious you are about consistency and distributed systems if there are no real consistency problems on the first try.
Not a simple explanation, I don't think. The size of the smallest spaceship with a given speed and direction is an emergent consequence of iterative rules, so explaining "why" for a Life spaceship is like trying to explain the Seahorse Valley in the Mandelbrot set. In both cases, the iteration rule is simple, but the consequences are complex -- no pun intended.
> The ideal daylight savings would be to synchronize clocks with sunrise, so that sunrise always occurs when it's time to get up (7 AM or whatever). Here in Sweden, where the length of the day varies from 6 to 18 hours, DST is really useful.

How would that work? You'd be getting up at like 3:30AM in the Summer for no reason. That far North there's no way to avoid it being mostly light in the Summer and mostly dark in the Winter, there aren't enough hours of each to shift it around for consistency.
As nice as that would be for code, people would still be left with trying to answer "is this a reasonable time to contact someone?" across great distances. The utility provided by time zones is a function for us to take our local time and determine whether or not we're interrupting someone's evening or sleep.

Not to mention, travel alarm clocks everywhere would need to be sold with a book of "reasonable waking times" for different cities, which is really no different than the time zone offsets we have today.

I would completely agree with moving to UTC if we weren't animals beholden to a diurnal sleep cycle.
> without much practical thought as to increasing controllability

That's not fair, Waymo and others are using redundant backup systems and obviously try to think of every failure case they can. Besides, aren't the remote-control parts as likely to fail as any other? I sure as hell wouldn't want to drive a car over facetime...

They sell one phone for $350 - the iPhone SE. While I'm thinking about "upgrading" to the SE - I'm really starting to like the idea of a real small phone and my iPad - most people don't want a phone that size.

But $350 is still higher than the average price of an Android phone - $227

From my experience working with date/time I don't think there are any rules at all.
As someone who's also under 18, I relate very strongly with this. I'm watching myself, and everyone around me get caught up in the virtual world. I find myself spending hours on a computer/my phone and feeling sick and upset afterwards. Whenever I'm in a group of kids my age, 90% of the time we'll instinctively go for our phones. This behavior is scary to me.

That's not to say that technology is 100% negative. I'd be the last to deny the benefits of it. But, seeing myself and everyone else in my generation getting sucked into devices that just bring discontent is concerning to me.

Even way up north, I'd rather have summer time all year. Having it get dark around 3:30 in the afternoon in the middle of winter is a drag.

That said, I've found there's a lot of resistance to the idea among parents. On standard time, it's light out when kids are on their way to school. On daylight time, it would be dark then.
