MST is Mountain Standard Time is UTC-7. California wants to change their clocks such that their time is PDT, which is Pacific Daylight Time which is UTC-7. Rather than have different colors for daylight times versus standard times, they're effectively colored by UTC offset. This does not seem misleading to me.

The page is trying to provide a visual for how "off" our maps and tzdata are going to be if laws like these pass without a unified vision of the move. What sort of reasonable thing is California and western Kansas being in the same time zone but not Utah?

EDIT: And after all that, there will still be states that will observe daylight savings time.
Wonder what they'll think of next

Probably changed by this point in time. Most manga can be found available online in digital format now. Admittedly, I'm a dead-tree loyalist here.
The memory seems high actually, I've seen other C / C++ / Go implementation using less than a 1GB for 1m connections. Pretty cool nonetheless!

Yes, though you probably wouldn't call them green threads anymore at that point. (I mean, Rust async/await is implemented that way modulo syntax and it's not called green threads. But that's beside the point.)

In fact Rust has already thrown out separate compilation with its monomorphization-based generics, so making functions "async polymorphic" in the same way wouldn't be anything new.

And while that's somewhat unlikely from what I can tell, Rust is getting a little bit of that "effect polymorphism" somewhere else- generic `const fn`s can become runtime functions when their type arguments are non-const. So maybe someday we'll be able to re-use generic functions in both sync and async contexts depending on their type arguments.
> The point is that the dawn is always at a fixed time of day, which allows human activity to be synchronized to daylight

That doesn't actually allow that unless you also fix the time of sunset, which then presents the problem that hours can no longer be of fixed length.
You're being needlessly pedantic. I'm sure you can understand what new_realist is saying.

We have several targeted excise taxes that work exactly this way at both the Federal and state levels. Gas, alcohol, tobacco, etc. (Even, since Obamacare, tanning!)

I thank God this is not the custom anywhere in this country for general sales taxes (all state and local). All "having to show the final amount" means is that the tax is hidden from the consumer in his day to day transactions, instead of staring him in the face every time--even requiring some quick arithmetic on his part. The last thing we need is even less awareness from the public of just how much of their money the government is taking from them. (Income tax withholding has already done an excellent job of that.)

I am constantly shocked, in fact, that in the name of "consumer protection" our politicians have not already hit upon this ingenious way to increase taxpayer complacency. Give it time, I am sure--especially since "being like other countries" (only insofar as they have more government involvement in their citizens' lives, of course) is the increasingly open and fervent declaration of politicians over here.

And in fact jurisdictions around the world and throughout history have typically done essentially exactly that--when sales taxes exceed a certain number (I think it's around 12%) they switch to "excise" to temper public awareness and outrage. And then the dam is burst; they can hike all they want. No thank you.
Actors are not necessarily as rational as Econ 101 would have us believe. Incomplete information, misinformation and advertisement distort the market. As well as monopolistic practices.

A lot of conspiracy theories are paranoid, but the propaganda machine of the oil industry is very real and managed to incite a lot of economically counter-productive policies.

“Don’t care” is probably a stretch. There is still a ton of corporates who pay MS license feee for Windows. It’s still a huge part of core revenue, but future long term. revenue streams will come from services and new platforms.
Ballot boxes ended up in rivers and lakes when it was pen and paper. You need both. This is a good start.
Most probably PR-approved. In my experience, pretty much all public companies (or soo-to-go public) will have a strict PR process in place, to handle almost everything that goes out.
I'd compare the Korean webtoon scene more to the american webcomic scene than to the professional manga environment. Maybe it also compares well to doujin, though to me it feels like the closest resemblance is webcomics.
They literally said 'the ultimate goal: the sun always rising at seven a.m' giving a precise specific time! I thought since they highlighted that exact time as as being the 'ultimate goal' is was important to what they were saying!
I agree that candor can be refreshing, but Armstrong (in my opinion) is a bit of a sociopath that knows how to manipulate the truth to cast himself in the best light possible.

It may appear unfiltered and open, but he's obscuring a lot of the truth there.
That's kind of vague, do you mind going into some more detail?
That's great for those of us who live in Hawaii, but we already skip Daylight Savings Time. What about everyone who lives far enough from the equator that the length of the day changes significantly through the seasons? You could hold dawn to a constant time, with enough smartphone gymnastics, but not dusk. How is your circadian rhythm going to cope with full daylight at midnight?
WINE already does this.
Darling is attempting (very slowly) to do this for macOS.
I mean, "webtoons" aren't really a thing in western culture. You can think of the posts like chapters from a comic. Anyway, here's the latest chapter[0] of 마음의 소리 (The Sound of Your Heart) which is popular. Enough to have its own tv show on netflix.

So the unions don't like UBI because it isn't socialist enough for them? It should be no wonder why conservatives don't like unions. The whole purpose of unions is to create a monopoly on labor and undermine the market for their benefit.
You've nailed the icon design, that's really hard to do right.
The map visualization is pretty terrible, since the color codings between the maps have different meanings - the first map shows what time zone states are in, the second map shows what time zones states will be in if they're changing. Having the second map show what the actual proposed final time zone layouts would be would be much more useful.

It is interesting that Montana, Wyoming and Utah are (considering?) jumping onto Central, with most other western states moving to Mountain (except Nevada, which likely won't last long), but it's not clear from the map or descriptions if they're jumping to CST or CSTCDT.
>I'm sorry that you feel overwhelmed by my arguments, but I have yet to see any evidence denying the accuracy of what I am saying, just appeals to emotion and the parroting of mainstream media headlines. You are free to disengage at any time. I will interpret the fact that you are accusing me of Gish Galloping and disengaging as a sign of both the accuracy and strength of my arguments.

I think that you should rethink this whole lone voice crying out in the wilderness/I unilaterally accept your concession thing.

Here's an example of what I mean by Gish Galloping. Pay close attention to the "without regard for accuracy of the arguments" part of the definition.

>As for Amnesty International and HRW, many of their sources are affiliated with Radio Free Asia which is directly funded by the US government and has roots with the CIA. There has been precedence of bias in both organizations as found here [1] and here [2].

You throw out a 3 claims in 2 sentences, and give citations that seem like they support those assertions. Yet when you go to link #2 the first sentence is "In 2005, Amnesty International claimed that the United States was a human rights offender." Sure there are allegations of bias, so you didn't technically lie, but there are more allegations of bias against the US than towards it.

No one could read that article as supporting your stance that Amnesty International is biased towards the US, but you didn't care about whether the source actually supports your argument. You're trying to fill your post with so many partially true assertions that I don't have the time or inclination to fact check all of them.

Then you make a very vague claim that "many of their sources are affiliated with Radio Free Asia". This is a meaningless statement that can't be disproved because it's too nebulous.

And here

>That is not remotely an equivalent argument. The definition of systemic injustice is injustice which arises from from a system or structure of power such as a government or nation state. It implies that the institutions of society are the genesis of the injustice. There is no proof of systemic injustice at the scale of three million Uighers being detained and put into concentration camps due to their ethnicity. There might be proof of individuals within the system abusing their powers of authority.

Your definition of systemic injustice is obtusely literal. Systemic injustice doesn't only come from the top down. A series of individual acts can create systemic injustice despite no official group policy. In fact most of what is referred to as systemic injustice is just that, a collection of individual acts that create an injustice despite there being no official political intent to do so.

There isn't really much point in you continuing to use debate tactics like this, we're deep enough in the weeds that it's just you and me. No reason to deny farting in an elevator with only 2 passengers.
No, that's a misrepresentation of how these things work.

An iOS device cannot install an update without an unlock, and any updates it does push are signed by an apple key, and does not make software with compromised security.

Apple then designs the system so that someone hacking Apple doesn't give them the ability to hack iOS devices. The way apple achieves this is to make the phones require a user unlock to update the device or to connect to another machine.

The only way to make magic software work would be for apple to deliberately compromise the device security. The moment they did that, that would mean there was a tool that would only need to be leaked once to compromise all apple devices. The solution is to not design a broken security model.

I assume the high end android devices are similar, but given android phones are still being shipped without a Secure Enclave I can imagine there are some trivially compromised devices.

So then let's get to how the update itself works.

The device gets a user unlock to occur (iirc if you have automatic updates enabled this means that your device has to have been unlocked in the last 24 hours?[1]). The device pulls an update from an apple server, verifies both the server it pulls from, and the bundle itself. No one else can publish or mitm the update. There's no magic software that can just be passed around - you would need to compromise apple itself, and compromise it to the point that you can get the updates signed by their production signing keys without anyone noticing.

If you're really unsure how all this works feel free to read their documentation: https://www.apple.com/business/site/docs/iOS_Security_Guide....

[1] I re-read the white paper's update mechanism and it sounds like it always requires an unlock before updating. So it's not a hysteresis. So automatic update is gated on an unlock before bed and asking permission to perform the update.
Remember if you store local date times in your DB it may be hard or impossible to get back the UTC later.
If someone did a subscription service for manga with quality translations (and coloring) they'd make a killing, probably.
Make, particularly, stands out for me. As an embedded/firmware programmer, it's a core tool of mine that I've had to begrudgingly learn. Make is awful, but it's irreplaceable.

At it's core, it's really a mix of three things:

1. A language to define a dependency graph ("target: dependencies") and how the nodes are connected ("rules")

2. a functional scripting language to be able to factorize the declaration of the graph

3. and finally a graph traversal worker to dispatch and perform those rules that are required (including a sophisticated "job server" to maintain the concurrent job limit across child make processes with no developer intervention!)

I haven't encountered a good replacement tool that properly tackles all 3 of these feature sets. (Granted, I haven't done an in-depth analysis of the field...)
We're so used to seeing things like this only in movies that it's hard to believe it's real!
A little history:

Clocks used to be on local time. You typically had a town clock tower and noon was when the sun was overhead.

Then we invented trains. We introduced standard time zones so you figure out when the train would be at the station.

I'm not a fan of daylight savings time, but this proposed patchwork is throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
We’ve had decent terminals on Linux since something like 1997 at least. I’ve never seen a good one on windows. Perhaps this is it. I would call being 22 years behind playing catch-up.

How has Microsoft surpassed Apple in hardware when Apple’s main product is a phone and Microsoft doesn’t even make a phone?
Not really. You don’t use COM to access Windows API’s. P/Invoke is a completely separate method than COM.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3138003/what-is-the-diff...

COM and C interop have always been separate and COM has been around since 1993.

In fact, the native Win32 APIs use C style null terminated byte or double byte character arrays for strings. COM uses BSTR types - double byte arrays where the first two bytes are the length.
I am more familiar with k so will use it as an example. If we were to extend it, the equivalent of some functions in compositor.nl would be something like this:

compositeSrc:{x} // output first arg
compositeDst:{y} // output second arg
compositeInvert:{+(1-x[;0];1-x[;1];1-x[;2];x[;3])}
// take a column, invert r, g, b columns and transpose

where x[i;0 1 2 3] == ith (r,g,b,a) of x. No need for "∀ (A, B) >>". This is implicit as k/APL work on whole collections. Basic operations are already overloaded. There would need to be a way to define tuples. "x[i;2]" to refer to ith blue value is a bit cryptic. You can define verb "blue x[i]" to do the same but may be some language syntax would help. I can't grasp enough of Nile through the examples I've seen so far but seems doable.
For extreme locations, there are no perfect solutions, only improvements: bedtime is also at the same time each day. No time scheme is going to magically fix an unnatural habitat like a set of blackout blinds would.
It may be a little bit of A, a little bit of B.

Anecdotally I can tell you I've seen many, many people reading webtoons on their phones on the subway. I've done it. The vertical format in this case is perfect.
Is there any difference between saying "PDT all year round" and "MST"?

Though I do agree that the graphic could be better, as the important information is really just: will the winter time move/not move 1 hour, and will the state observe/not observe daylight savings time. They need to add crosshatching or similar to indicate the latter info.

The rule across all media is to always precede reports of Israeli killing of Palestinians in Gaza with a number of rockets, even if 24 hours before said rockets Israel has snipered unarmed protestors attempting to practise their Right of Return as guaranteed by UN Resolution 194. Anyone who has an iota of knowledge about what's going on there knows that continuous building of settlements by Israel and the daily harassment the Palestinians have to endure is the root of the problem.[0]
I truly wonder if there's anyone who isn't completely ignorant on the issue, who still buys the zionist talking points.

In my opinion a good way to address this behavior is by crawling over game footage from multiple cameras after the game itself. Anyone caught flopping should be served with a multi-game suspension. Flopping is just as much cheating as bribing a referee would be.
I set up a WordPress site for a family member a couple years ago and threw wordfence on there just to see what the ecosystem is like. I get near daily alerts of attempted hacks mostly from Eastern Europe. Most common thing is trying to brute force the login page.

Any improvements to WordPress security are welcome. It's got such a huge target painted on its back. Reminds me of windows in the 90s.

As for what I learned, I would move the admin login page and disable common usernames like admin and anything derived from the site url. Probably stop 90% of attacks just with that.
Illumos did something akin to this, though it was more of a syscall translation layer. It was/is quite nice.

The problem with this is that you are always chasing down the corner cases.
Who on earth would want that? People who have only ever used Microsoft products?
Interesting that this was also downvoted, as well as other very reasonable comments in the thread. Some very odd patterns. My original comment went up to 3 and down to 0, second is at 0, and some other comments are gray enough to be somewhere between -2 and 0. Let's see if the experiment continues.
Basketball is downright boring right now at the pro level. Everyone wants to gather far beyond the arc and launch 3s. The NBA needs to decide whether the game is supposed to be about the athleticism and effort of the players or who can launch the most long range shots. It can't be about both.

The fact that Steph Curry, who is a limited player, is regularly in the running for MVP, is a joke. There was a guy almost identical to him, with better overall talent, in the 90s. His name was Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, and he didn't exactly have an illustrious career.
Even ignoring the compliance issues the government would never do that. They already do not do that with income taxes--having changed the system to "pay as you go" as soon as they hiked it (WWII, then--surprise!--never cut it for peacetime) to levels where it would matter to most Americans.

Instead they "withhold," helping themselves to an interest-free loan and obscuring the bill so the average Joe grumbles a bit sometime when he sees his pay stub but has little awareness of his actual tax liability; then he jumps for joy at his "refund" April 15 when the government kindly returns his money that was never theirs in the first place. Hooray!
Mistake for who? The gutting of the consumer protection served the function and constituency it was designed to.
It seems New England is the group of state the furthest east that would benefit from Atlantic Time. But why would VW and FL move? It seems like there's no value there, or am I missing something?
Appreciate the honesty and humor
Good point! I can definitely see how expiring laws could be hugely manipulated. But still, I currently take issue with the number of laws currently in place, that I'm subject to, that I don't know exist. I think a smaller body of laws would be more manageable for law makers, easier to enforce, leave fewer gray areas to be manipulated in court rooms, etc... Look up the number of convictions for possession of a "gravity knife" in New York city. If you've been to New York, and possessed a pocket knife, you are likely guilty. It was recently amended after some 50 years of targetted abuse; how many other laws exist that obviously encroach on our individual freedoms?
There's no battle. Both Korea and Japan see the value in exporting cultural products, although I don't think the Korean government is focusing on webtoons as much as kpop.

Manga and webtoons are different and cater to different audiences.

In any case manga is much, much more popular and actually gets translations. I think this is due to the longer publishing schedules and how established manga is compared to webtoons.
I'm in CA, single earner family, we don't pay even half of my salary in (property/income/sales) taxes. I'm not sure I agree with your sentiment.

I suppose if you decided to buy a property that was more than you could afford, and you're using credit card debt to buy more than you can afford, then you may have a large tax burden. Those are reckless decisions though.
Why should I be forced to give away my hard earned cash to anyone who simply refuses to work? Being sick and unemployable is unfortunate, and I am happy to help those who genuinely need help, but what you are suggesting is utterly despicable and unethical.
Slightly, but only slightly exaggerated. It's not cost-effective to support a platform with such small user-base, especially when it is a crapshoot of specs on the order of 90s PC gaming.

Probably much simpler just to make a solid Windows build that plays nicely with WINE.
Why not all of the above? Then you can choose the best language for the task at hand. They each have their own unique strengths.
CO2 only accounts for 0.04% of the atmosphere, guess you need to concentrate or isolate it before pump into your solution, also gas solubility in water is low, so you might need to reduce temperature or change air pressure to increase CO2 solubility. I just read Haber-Bosch process today, looks like your process could be similar.

You mentioned use nanotube to extract alcohol, is this process similar to chromatography? Do your nanotube's half-life long and stable, and the production now is in industrial scale and low-cost?
Pretty much every neutral observer called that one, and quite a few non-neutral ones too. There’s no rational way to justify allowing wealth managers to sell their clients products that are contrary to the clients’ interests, least of all under the laughable excuse of “customer choice”.

The only question is, exactly how corrupt was this? Was it “the boss is an idiot and doesn’t understand”, or “they bought enough over priced hotel rooms”?
Predictability for travellers. It's helpful that no matter where you are, one has a relatively stable point of temporal reference to sunrise and sunset.
Got a link to that code? Or more info...?
First step: confirming actual scarcity.

Tell me, what basic human necessity or resource for individuals is in actual global scarcity right now? Food? Housing? Schooling? Internet/knowledge access? Sanitation?

There is hoarding, rent-seeking, market-controlling of these things, but not actual scarcity, except maybe sanitation, and possibly healthcare if you count that as a resource rather than a process.

Pure capitalism as the vehicle of resource distribution has been proven as a failure to distribute existing resources to the lower echelons of society, even after multiple generations. Any solution that requires more than 2 generations to "solve" what it was designed to solve, I think we can safely call a failure.

It's time to try something else.
