Yeah just like nobody would want a social network because MySpace and Friendster tried it. And nobody would want a tablet, Apple already tried that with the Newton.

Not saying you are wrong but “Nokia tried it” is not any kind of marker.

> Changing our clocks twice a year has little benefit, economic or otherwise

I've lived in 2 different places in the world that did not do DST, and I have to respectfully disagree for many cases. In the summer the sun would rise before 5am and set by 6:30 or 7pm. This does curtain outside activities. Sitting outside at a restaurant, maybe having a drink, is much easier to do while the sun is up, the bugs are at a bay, etc. Or maybe a BBQ in the backyard etc, all are much easier to do when there's natural sunlight. (then let's talk about sports games, no major leagues but kids sports, etc, etc)

So yes we could all start getting up earlier and say going to work earlier...Say starting work at 7am and leaving at 4pm...but this is what DST does for us.

Caveat:

It greatly depends on where you are in the timezone, and how far north you are. Growing up in northern Canada the sun set at 11pm and rose at 4am, so it did make little difference.

2nd Caveat:

Yes full time DST could be right for some places. But! That's damn confusing if someone has a different time through the year. When I lived in Indiana they didn't do DST, so the time didn't change. And it felt like half the phone calls outside the start started with "what time is it now." So there's something to be said for consistency. :/

It doesn't tell you that. For example, it could be an experiment to learn how much weight users put on the URL in choosing between results.

Was it a scam? Adam didn't violate any laws. Investors should have done diligence and all the self dealing would have came out during an audit. Fact they didn't is what i think is the scam. If i was an lp in the fund, i would think about suing the fund for the breach of duty.
Thanks. Made amends
It's legal because the people that got duped were "professional investors". It will be a good case study for an investment analysis class though.

Would absolutely be a different discussion if they had IPOed.
I don't know what you mean by the bank account analogy. I don't go to the bank everyday, but I can interact with my bank account several times per day. I can make free money transfers to any SEPA account, so this is also part of what micropayments should be. It's just tedious, and the money takes two to three days to arrive.
In my tech circle, almost everyone has switched to another search engine (ddg mostly, startpage, bing), which is quite telling. I noticed as I spot them in a search result page while together, not because they told me. This was an eye opener.

I initially _had_ to because the search itself became unreliable for me (finding technical terms is now a frustration in quoting and checking for "missing from the page: term"), but other search engines (like ddg) are not better in this area. Issues with AMP links though made me permanently switch the default search engine entirely.

I now use google as a backup, reluctantly and in combination with others, exactly how I was using altavista and yahoo eons ago.

I would have never imagined this would happen.

But if I ask _any_ other non-tech person, google is still the only search engine they know (or even don't know) about.
I meant that C example to get some insight on what you mean by "permissive language" and why that was important to the topic.

I don’t need my images so bad that I want to process them on my phone. I’ll get to them in my laptop when I have the time.

When my phone is involved, I don’t want to do any processing, except maaaaybe Instagram-like filters. Those photos are not for print or anything like that. When I want good photos not meant to be consumed just on 5” screens I want control.

I would much rather have a reliable rugged camera with manual only mode, weather sealing, huge battery, huge sensor, and cheap glass, than a smart camera.

well, not just the search engine has been acting weird.

Chrome doesn't show http/s or www in the address bar anymore. this made me incorrectly communicate a URL yesterday. for example www.news.ycombinator.com and news.ycombinator.com look exactly the same in Chrome's address bar. no idea why they made that decision...

just yesterday i noticed that hovering some hyperlinks doesn't reveal the linked URL at the bottom of the screen. so weird...
I'm not sure this is a good assumption.
I have recently noticed that to my eyes, Google search looks like physical junkmail marketing "Magazines".

Google funnels me to products, services, and affilate marketing blogs, advertisements and their own paid ad placement. To Google, the internet is shopping, and maybe a least-common-denominator social network or two. Garbage.

Google feels like going to the Mall anymore. Super sad, but as you have noticed the silver lining is the fabulous service of duck.com.

If I were paying for google search with a credit card, I would cancel, and then call to stop payment. Too bad they never asked for my money.
I'm also seeing no URLs. Here is the same Google search in Firefox and Chromium as a logged in user. With firefox it shows the URLs and with Chromium it doesn't :

In the Netherlands, this is currently a hot discussion. At the moment, the Netherlands belongs to the same timezone as Berlin. Historically, the dutch time was GMT+0020 (that's right, 20 minutes more than GMT). This would be the most natural timezone for the Netherlands. During the German occupation in the 1940s, the Dutch time was set to the same timezone as Germany. After the war was over, this was kept as timezone.

Thus, we already have a timezone shifted in the wrong way, with less daylight during the morning and more in the evenings. Moving to permanent DST, would move our time even further away from the biological clocks of everyone.

>Obviously someone thinks about deploying this change.

They could be testing this for any number of reasons. Maybe they're trying to learn something specific rather than change how the product works long-term.

The linked post is from a month ago and there's been no evidence of this test being scaled up.

Besides, it's still a misleading title.
I can't see how a system in which every node has a copy of every transaction forever could ever be suitable for micropayments, which if they took off would be of the order of millions a day.

Clock time is just a semantic construct. You can call it 3pm DST or 4pm EST, but it's still the same damn time. The real, simple answer IMO, is for people to wake up earlier, go to work/school earlier, and go to bed earlier. Adjust our lives and work hours, don't optimize for a silly fake number on a wall.
MacOS’s media framework uses sandboxes so even if media gets exploited it wouldn’t be able to write to disk or launch processes like in this example.

There’s really no excuses in this case for WebAudio, of all things, to be able to write to disk. And it’s dubious that Chrome should be able to launch any processes outside of the few specific child jobs it needs for process isolation.

My understanding was that there is a tax advantage (or loophole) in this construct of having influence over a fund's trading rather than doing the trades yourself and holding the fund instead. Would you argue there is no such advantage?

Isn’t the solution then to just keep the clocks moved back? There is no need to change them twice a year

For what it’s worth, I switched to ddg a couple years ago and haven’t found the same thing. If I ever search on ddg and don’t get what I want I just append !g to the search and it sends me to google anyway.
It very much depends on where you live and personal lifestyle preferences. At my latitude current DST means in winter I wake up approx. around the sunrise, and while I get out of the apartment it's already full daylight. For me this is the most important thing. I'm not a morning type and I always hated to be forced to wake up in the morning while it's still pitch-black outside. It's already depressive enough that I have to go out of the warm bed to face a full day of work, but when you add a freezing cold night outside to the mix it makes me feel just miserable. And I don't care about the evenings that much. Different people, different tastes...
Also, diffraction limits of smaller optics. All of that can be fixed to some extent computationally, but not in all situations (like moving subjects).
Would love to switch to DDG, but it consistently gives me search results that do not contain s search term at all, even when I wrap it in double quotes.

So they give me thousands of non relevant search results.

From one of my absolute favorite articles about this, and about finance in general. The most entertaining thing I've read this month: Matt Levine's "How do you like We now?"

https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2019-10-23/how-do...

Masayoshi Son: What does your company do?

Neumann: We lease office buildings, spruce up the space and sublet it in small chunks.

Son: Hmm I invest in visionary tech stuff, this doesn’t really sound like my thing.

Neumann: Did I mention we are a state of consciousness. A generation of interconnected emotionally intelligent entrepreneurs.

Son: Okay yeah that’s more like—

Neumann: The world’s first physical social network. We encompass all aspects of people’s lives, in both physical and digital worlds.

Son: You’re crazy! I love it! But could you be, say, ten times crazier?

Neumann: You’re going to invest $10 billion in my company, which I will use as kindling to light the whole edifice on fire, and then when we are both standing in the ashes you will pay me another billion dollars to walk away while I laugh at you.

Son: All my life I have dreamed of meeting someone as crazy as you, but I never really believed this day would come.

Neumann: I’m gonna use your money to buy a mansion with a room shaped like a guitar, where I will play the world’s tiniest violin after all your money is gone.

Son: YES PUNCH ME IN THE FACE.

Neumann: Also I’ll rename the company “We” and charge it $6 million for the name.

Son: RUN ME OVER WITH A TRUCK.

With Sidereal Time[1], local noon is measured by the sun’s relative angle to the observer’s location. So ‘noon’ is basically at the same time, and the days’ ends push and pull as the earth orbits.

If we didn’t have to coordinate time, this seems like it’d be a pleasurable timescale to keep. Since we do have to coordinate time, we’d then have to keep a separate timescale alongside our local time. I guess this isn’t too far from our current timezone+utc/gps system?

I know of two completely non-technical people who use GitHub as a sort of personal website/wiki. They probably don't even know what git is let alone how to use it. I suppose if you're just looking to build a page that has information and aren't interested in the wix/square space bells and whistles then GitHub is probably the easiest option.
When you start breaking things down, you'll realize that things are often the way they are because they are the most efficient way to organize resources.

AirBnbs are cheaper than hotels because they don't have to pay for the licensing or meet the safety requirements of hotels. Ubers are cheaper than taxis because Ubers don't have to deal with taxi driver unions. WeWork looks better than standard gray-brown boring offices because WeWork style offices actually cost a lot.
No, because I like doing things outside in the summer after 6:30pm.

I stand corrected. I should have limited my point to say that nirvana is out of reach for householders.

>I should mention that I'm not Buddhist ...

Same here. I am personally not into the unsubstantiated ideas in Buddhism (like rebirth, supernatural, etc). I just think much of the Buddhist philosophy is interesting and useful.
From Ketamine for Treatment Resistant Depression (2016):

The findings provided by the Deputy Administrator of the DEA (Marshall 1999) found that:

1. Ketamine has less potential for abuse than the drugs or other substances in Schedules I and II

2. Ketamine has currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States

3. Abuse of ketamine may lead to moderate or low physical dependence or high
psychological dependence

It has less potential for abuse than THC, Adderall, and Ritalin.

From your link:

> Even before the Lac-Mégantic accident, attempts were made to require redesign or replacement of existing cars in the U.S.; these were delayed amidst fierce lobbying from rail and petroleum industry groups concerned about the cost.

I don't see why we should be forced to accept this risk when the companies that profit off this risk won't pay to do it responsibly?
Have you ever met actual people serving in the German military? There are whole teams/cells that communicate to each other in turkish-german or russian.

The truth is, in a society like the German, where 50% of high school graduates want to go to university, it's usually just the lower classes to down-right underclass that even consider the military as a career-path.

Alas, apart from white-trash Germans it is a lot of immigrants that you'll find there.
And?

Your post doesn't detract from anything they stood for. Silence does nothing but perpetuate the status quo. If you truly wish to fire employees for daring to exercise political thought during the prime of their lives instead of shutting up and getting back to work like the good wage slaves employers seem to wish them to be, then you are part of the problem.

I'm not saying that it's always right, but politics is part of the human animal as engaged in collective action. If you don't want political uproar as a possibility in your workplace, don't work on politically energizing things.

As it turns out, that's surprisingly hard.

If there is a filter bubble, the filter bubble exists at the level of the employer. Workers are expected to be apolitical, while the management is free to use their profits and corporate shell to engage in whatever politics they desire with little or no effect being possible from the worker besides voting with their feet.

Before you go demonizing people for speaking their mind, you may want to make sure they don't have a point first.
"Don't send e-mails from your server" is the complete opposite of what you should be doing.

The advice basically means "surrender to big players, even though there is no technical reason to do so. Just surrender."

I would argue that you should do the complete opposite:

- DO send e-mails from your own e-mail server

- DO complain to Google/Outlook if they unjustly mark your e-mail as spam

Accepting this behavior from google/outlook is accepting a "guilty-by-default" prejudice and a limitation of your own freedom of speech.

Basically they're abusing their dominant position to make sure you cannot speak to anybody unless you pass through another big player (ideally from them).
How do you schedule meetings without a fake number on the wall? Getting 2 or more people together takes coordination and clocks are a great way to do that.

In Australia, our regular banking system lets you register your mobile phone number (or business/company number or email) as a 'PayID' and then that's all the info you need to send somebody an instant payment...

I remember reading an interview with a famous photojournalist (wish I was informed enough to remember his name), and he talked about snapping a photo that became very famous. He said he saw a bunch of stuff happening in a crowd, lifted his camera above his head, and pressed the shutter release. As far as capturing action, yeah it did that. As far as composing a shot, it was like any cell phone shot of people running in a crowd. It was messy, poorly framed, etc. I believe it hit the news just the right way to become famous, but if he had a cell phone, a video would have been better, or just a ton of shots instead of the one.

Except there are some things in life that are tied to specific times and that you cannot influence. For instance, buses run less frequently in the early morning where I live, so if I want to go to work earlier, my commute would be much longer. That's just one example but of course there are quite a few other things, too.
As much as I don’t like DST (Arizonan, here), time itself is pretty effective low resolution synchronization mechanism for humans. My preference would be to standardize on UTC or metric time or something unrelated to position in the universe and adjust schedules for environmental convenience. A meeting at 4:00pm should be at 4pm (or whatever system of measure is chosen) regardless of where you are.
What is wrong with just not using Google instead?

DST as we have it seems suited to a world that still has a third of the population working outside in the fields. A world where work start time and sunrise were inextricably linked.

Most people would be far better served by our timezones sticking with summer time year round so we can have brighter evenings. I'm far enough north that one of my commutes will be in darkness, by skewing it to the morning one when it's around the equinox I am guaranteed no daylight in personal time: I'm either commuting, in a permanently illuminated office, or at home -- in winter darkness.

I would be far happier with more evening light.
