> The real story is that a small group thinks their compass should be the direction everyone follows because it is “right”

Google isn't a "small group", they have huge control over society. Ethical decisions are made in countless companies, but few have as much reach as Google. As any organization grows and amasses power, they take on more responsibility to manage their ethical decisions well.

Your reference to China's great firewall doesn't really support your point. Sure, some can circumvent it, but it's still repressive. Why would anyone want to support that, especially from a company who's motto is to "free information"?

I think there's a distinction to be made between travel as accumulating social capital masquerading as "experiences" and travel as seeking genuinely novel experiences. It's the same difference between going to Instagrammable restaurants and seeking out places that have legitimately good food. Then again, I don't think this distinction is new. There's always been a dichotomy between people who travel like an RPG where they have to see X monument and have Y experience in order to tell their friends about it, and people who come in open minded.
Why do you think abolishing the daylight savings change is bad?

Personally I think it’s a super awesome move.

And note that no matter what you have against it, disrupting the sleep of billions of people twice per year has caused depression and cardiovascular issues which shouldn’t be taken lightly.

So what’s the issue in everyone switching to the summer time for the whole year?

The survey was also primarily filled in by Germans.

However, most regulation isn't the results of surveys in the first place. The survey might've informed it a bit, but in the end it's just lawmakers making law. It's not like there are absolutely no arguments in favour of this change, or that it's similar in scale to Brexit.

That is, Hex-Rays do not want to have any business relationship with the proverbial would-be teenage hackers.

Outside of that, Hex-Rays is a small business which has probably around than 1mln eur/year of turnover and they do not want to grow it much more. It was a Basecamp-style business long before DHH made the concept of anti-growth popular.
>Well yeah. Much simpler to make the adjustment once, at an agreed upon time of year, than to have a hodgepodge of different companies, schools, retailers, bagel shops, etc. all move their hours independently

I'm not sure it is simpler to be honest. It's normal for companies to have different starting hours. I'm just about to move to a job where my official start is half an hour later. That increases to an hour with the actual time time I currently get into work.

Even without that, daylight savings is hodgepodge with different countries starting at different times. Ironically anti-daylight-savings people would be welcoming the current news as good when it will likely just mean more countries having daylight savings but not being consistent.

>It's not a lie anymore than time zones themselves are lies

I can't really disagree.
Thank you for answering. I assume you are a subject matter expert qualified to interpret the legal documents?

I have actually read some of the resources AND been there whilst customers received advice from lawyers. From what I had understood this model looked dubious.

I have not seen a discussion of this that didn't just end up in talking about morals. Even excluding this I really only wanted input from experts - answers from actual lawyers about GDPR have surprised me compared to what developers had assumed about it...

NB If I had a customer that proposed this model I would still insist that they consulted with their own legal advice before proceeding!
Definitely not. The book expands on pg's books and a prior read is recommended.
"The rule of law in western society is usually well respected by both individuals, government and companies."

This is an illusion, and a propaganda to self which already has proven wrong last 20 years. Yet this propaganda surprisingly prevails. That makes me think the education in western societies, is in some sense totalitarian within a certain bounds.

With endless cases we know that politics holds the key to rule of law in most western countries. Rule of law in edge cases is not even valid for the citizens of that particular country, and it's not at all valid for foreign individuals and corporations.
I don't think you can blame instagram. These problems are happening all over the world, and I doubt that many of the tourists actually use instagram.

I suspect cheap flights and accommodation, changes in fashion (city breaks vs package holidays), more disposable income and free time are all contributing.
AFAIK every member state has to choose either daylight savings time or not, but it has to choose one and stick with it.
your comment is confusing
The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Getting rid of DST sounds like a good thing. Not messing time is patently good. But a bunch of countries on the western side of the EU ought to be on GMT instead of GMT+1. And appparently a majority of people want to make that worse, by making a permanent switch to GMT+2.

This will make for fun winters, with the sun rising long after rush hour. This is stupid.
> Do try to be more careful about speaking in absolutes.

The phrase “prima facie” means “at first glance”. It emphasizes that the judgment is not absolute, but merely gives a strong impression.

Until you said "sunset", I was almost certain you were referring to Wedding Cake Rock, a similar victim of new-found Instagram popularity. That's in the town where I grew up, which is often ruined by tourists. I don't know what it is about group dynamics, but as I perceive it (and it may be confirmation bias), large groups of tourists do far more damage (especially littering) than if the same number of people had visited individually.
Yes, vibrations in a lattice are quantized: they can only occur at a discrete set of frequencies and energies.
Sorry to hear you're finding it tough. Some people find ways of becoming less constrained by their introversion, but no judgment on you for doing what works for you.

It's true that some pre-existing conditions can limit what options people have, but it doesn't apply to everything.

It's important to be discerning about when this effect applies and when it needn't, and work to open more opportunities to more people wherever possible.

I don't want to discuss on the level of "pro" or "anti" but I would like to analyze some numbers from this paper.

Take a look at this picture: https://www.nejm.org/na101/home/literatum/publisher/mms/jour...

There were 440,655 vaccinated children and 96,648 unvaccinated. Among the vaccinated 621 were autistic (of any kind), 117 among unvaccinated. Which gives us 0.14% and 0.12% respectively.

Why doesn't this prove that vaccination has some impact on autism?

Please refrain from attacking me, I just want to know the science explanation.
For UK viewers, there was an episode of Twinstitute on iplayer that looked at sleep banking v power naps.

Exactly. We talked about this in the Netherlands and permanent +2 for us is too far off. That's St Petersburg natural time, it would mean sunrise at 10am in wintertime.

If the Germans will really push for permanent +2 time, then there will be a time zone border between us.
> Considering the fundamental ways that females differ from males this seems totally ridiculous and to me it looks like a striking example of ideological kneejerking.

Her point is not that there are no differences, it's that those differences are negligible compared to societal influence, and people claims to the contrary are often doing so to rationalize their own place in society. We went from loin cloths to rockets with the same genetic code, yet, those differences are often dismissed in the face of minute differences in genetics/nature.

> a culturally imposed straitjacket she continues to completely ignore ...

This even proves the point. If you're right, and culture is powerful enough to put someone in a "straitjacket", then it can surely explain many of the differences that many claim to be explained by slight genetic/natural differences.

> Data layout optimizations are a really neglected part of compiler engineering.

From what I understand this is mostly impossible in other popular languages because the compiler just puts fields of your structs in the order you wrote it in. (You wanted this, right? Here ya go!) JIT'd languages don't have this problem because they can rewrite the layouts however they want and based on real time profiling. AoT languages either have to run first and compile with the profiling information to have hope of doing this, or else the author has to break out perf and VTune and do it manually. Both are difficult and time consuming, which is why it doesn't happen much in practice.

A minor example of this is Protobuf, where the IDL translates to the same field layout in C++. Could the fields be packed into a more cache friendly layout? Sure, but only on a case-by-case, application-by-application basis. It doesn't work in general, even though proto authors don't care about the precise layout.
C won because UNIX was free, and C was UNIX.

> On top of all of that it's done by Mozilla

IIRC it's open-source with a fairly wide set of contributors, with Mozilla being a major one, rather than Mozilla being the "owners" of Rust.

Not arguing your point, and there's a chance I'm awfully wrong, but as I recall it, Mozilla are more the champions of the language rather than the owner of it.

Regardless, it's a really neat language

For sets I can understand what + and - means: you can add or subtract the sets (not add or remove an element directly). This should be like lists, e.g.

[10,20] + [30]

But what + and - would mean in the case of dicts is obscure. Better to just use full method names imho.
There is no natural law stipulating when rush hour happens or when buissness hours should be though.

Shops will just start to open at 10 instead of 9 and workdays will start at 9 instead of 8 in those areas where this is a problem.
> Segovia identified 155 artifacts, some with faces of Toltec rain god Tláloc, and others with markings of the sacred ceiba tree

It would be significant, because the Mayan version of this god is Chaac https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaac, and there's some speculation over who inherited the god from whom:

> Although the name Tlaloc is specifically Aztec, worship of a storm god like Tlaloc, associated with mountaintop shrines and with life-giving rain, is as at least as old as Teotihuacan and likely was adopted from the Maya god Chaac or vice versa, or perhaps he was ultimately derived from an earlier Olmec precursor. An underground Tlaloc shrine has been found at Teotihuacan.[4]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tl%C4%81loc

But my suspicion is that the archaeologist might have said something like "we found faces of Chaac, who is equivalent to Tláloc" (because Mexicans are much more familiar with Tláloc) and then it was mangled by the reporter.

Since the industrial revolution humanity has changed so quickly to become practically unrecognizable to those who came before it. A "careful reading" of Darwin, Dawkins, or any credible geneticist explains that is not even a blip in the genetic timescale. How could you explain that change with genetics alone?
I guess it is just a matter of getting the right systems in place to manage the administrative overhead.

Because in the UK and Spain (the countries I have lived in) the sun would not rise until nearly 10am in winter.

Lots of people think this change is a good idea simply because they assume they would stick to the time zone that they think is best. When the millions of people who want permanent summertime realise their government will most likely choose permanent winter time then it might not seem like such a great idea any more.

This decision has been made way too fast and without proper investigation. Yes, there may be side effects of changing clocks twice per year, but how do they compare to the effects of having less light in the morning in winter or less light in the evening in summer?

> Wait, what? Why would self-reported feelings not be taken as strong evidence?

Because you might be stuck in a local maxima that's close to your global minima. I've been reading "Why We Sleep", and while I don't have the citations here at the moment he mentions that one of the tricky things with sleep deprivation is that people are often not very aware of it themselves. Your body gets used to the new, lower, level and thinks that it's normal.

It should also be mentioned that most people don't try to distinguish between correlation and causation, and as such it can be hard to draw any conclusions. Imagine a person who reports that "I'm so happy when I drink alcohol", but it turns out that he has no social contact (e.g. working at night, sleeping through the day; no friends) outside of the bar setting, and it's actually the social element that he most desires.

I guess it depends on what you mean by the word "evidence", but I wouldn't really say that his self-reported feelings show any strong evidence that alcohol makes him happy.

DST has demonstrated negative health effects on humans and animals alike, so framing this as a caprice of preference is very misleading. Not to mention the, also confirmed, negative side effects on economy due to required technical investments and bugs involved in constant time changes.

I believe your opinion is based on very local observations. Cities in Europe are wildly different, and in many aspects, they are very successful. Even in the US, cities have changed a lot over time, as shown by the gentrification of inner cities.

This one efficient model you are talking about is merely the solution to one set of tradeoff decisions in your area, with other tradeoffs being chosen in other places.

Yes and no. Before instagram you had tourist guides (books). If a major guide mentions a location as lovely and must seen, you will have hordes of tourists raiding the area, often to just take a quick picture and mark a notch next to the entry.

Like I just don’t get people going to the Trevi fountain in Rome.

That’s correct; we operate on consensus, and about a hundred people are involved in Rust governance. Only about six are employees of Mozilla.
If SWCLK and SWDIO signals are present, there are great chances that SWD will work. In any case, you can control with registers if you want to enable full JTAG, SWD, or nothing, and reuse those pins as you wish.

You can use JTAG probes that implement the CMSIS-DAP (also called DAPLink) protocol, so you get a probe that doesn't need any driver as is seen as an HID USB device.
