The narrative of the war in the West is "Putin just invaded the innocent Ukrainians, killed lots of people, rah rah rah". Here are the pics of Zelensky in fatigues ready to confront the invader.

The other side narrative is, "There has been an active war going on for 5+ years now following a US coup in Ukraine, and many innocent Eastern Ukrainians and ethnic Russians have been killed already. Now, Putin is invading to protect Russia's borders from broken promises over NATO spreading, and the threat of a hostile NATO near Moscow"

Both sides are biased, and both sides are producing agitprop, but we're only limiting one side's access to distribute their worldview.
Given Google's habit of having some "AI" randomly kill someone's account, combined with a total lack of customer service, I can't think of a company I would trust less with my domains. It still makes me nervous that my email is hosted with them, but that's something I'll probably get sorted soon.

Nope. Because promotions, retention raises and direct recruiting to unposted jobs via networking will still happen.
As with everything else, sometimes this is true, sometimes it isn't. In languages with pervasive generics, figuring out how things work can mean following several extraneous layers of indirection as any opportunity to parameterize something is always taken. But writing the same stupid loop to delete something from a slice is also unclear and complicated. The point isn't that generics are bad, just that they should be used judiciously.
A lot have auto DST that switches DST automatically. And/or programmed timezones
I'd be pretty ok with this, but I'm also biased because I live in central. Calis probably won't like it much because they'll be getting up hours before the sun.
"VCS is truth" does not assert what it is, but rather its treatment in the system. There is no knowable truth in large-scale systems design.

Velocity is relative in physics, right? Relative to what? What's the frame of reference? Usually, we say, the Earth itself. VCS is that to software engineering, in this setup; there's movement and realities outside of VCS, but VCS is our zero; the tare. Everything is relative to the VCS. It is not truth through its nature; it is truth through how we treat it, how we build systems to interface with it, synchronize with it, etc.

All models are wrong, but some are useful.
If we’re going to stop switching clocks, shouldn't it obviously be for permanent standard time, not DST?
The massive shift is moving to DST year round instead of standard time. Our work and school schedules are not adjusted for standard time in the winter, when it actually makes a difference.
Freedom fighter or terrorist... once you use violence on your enemies, you obscure whatever your original message may have been and force public attention onto the violence instead. Do we remember Osama Bin Laden's pleas for justice, or just the collapsing skyscrapers?

Self-sacrifice as an act of martyrdom lets you maintain the moral high ground, continue your role as the victim, and still speak your truth -- however quietly, in the modern attention-deficit, compassion-fatigued era.

Also, keep in mind the power differential between China and Tibet. There is no feasible way for Tibet to even put up a fight, much less win an actual armed conflict. Suicide bombing would just bring even more terrible oppressions upon their people.

The self-immolation isn't an act of grand military strategy. It's a desperate cry for justice in this world or their next, whispered into the wind and carried to an uncaring world. It's the sort of thing that requires a deep commitment to one's values, knowing its ultimate effect and still choosing to go through with it, not because it's strategically useful but only because you are exercising what little agency you have left with the ideals you've carried your whole life.

You were likely nagged for weeks by the system to update OR you dual-boot Linux and you switched over to Windows for a quick document edit. And then, when the popup showed up, and gave you the choice to dismiss it, you didn't pay attention (who pays attention to popups?) and clicked the "reboot now" button. It happens. But, now that you know what to avoid, you won't run into the issue again. Assuming you ever use Windows again, that is.
> That kids will have to travel to school in the dark for the majority of the year, including in most cases standing around in the freezing cold at unlit bus stops?

In my experience kids have superior night vision and rarely care about what temperature it is outside.
Also a country where a high percentage of families can afford clothing of adequate quality.
Yes they have a reputation for merciless shuttering of services, but come on.

What is ample time for a company that hired a webdev one time to build them a static website and never checks webmaster@domain emails?

That kind of outfit is much more likely to be a victim of missed renewal or a myriad other technical screwups than a Google-initiated exit of the registrar business.

I feel like Google marketing has no idea the absolute monster of a problem they've created by allowing their business to get a reputation for being extremely unreliable in the B2B space.

They can certainly count on a spate of hyperventilating HN posts whenever they announce any kind of service-related news.

More seriously, their most celebrated servicides are consumer-oriented, like Google Reader. "Extremely unreliable in the B2B space" sounds like an exaggeration to me.
I certainly do. More so, I was referencing the fact that the definition of the word "literally" now also includes "figuratively" in several English dictionaries as an example of a similar language development.
The time most people wake up is dictated by when they need to be at work. They can't simply "get up later".
I would be careful of having your email and dns at the same provider regardless of how trustable and dependable that provider is.
YES! I work from 9-5. My kid is at school from 7:15 to 2:30. We're lucky my wife teaches so we don't have to worry about after school care.
Literally our entire justice system is built on the idea that the only ethical option is that victims and families of victims don't decide the flow of our justice process, and in fact require anyone who is too close to the victims to recuse themselves.

Turning it around, how would you like if the police tortured your child in a case of mistaken identity? Looking at the members of my high school class who became cops, they weren't exactly known for being the brightest bulbs in the box, but always acted with confidence despite that.
Same thing is happening in Turkey now. Everyone gets depressed when it's dark outside when they wake up, every day of the year.
> the doctors are prepared for this.

I don't think putting people on antidepressants is a good answer, either. Those are meant to be used for about a year to get people back to normal.
Wow, what a great insight. Thanks for sharing
Most people can't get up at 8 and get to work by 9.
this proposal will set sunrise at 9am during december in Oregon and washington. 'Wake up later' doesnt really work for most people.
It's probably easier to change work timings now than it ever would have been before. Which is great.

So in this case the advise was worst than useless? Had you been figuring things out on your own, would it have been less bad?

> It's just as much apple's fault though - if xcode has some open command line tools I'm sure there would have been ready-made formulas for everything we needed.

Yes that is too true. Keeping things working with apple is so draining it's hard to have energy left over to do other things right.
That's because people don't actually want a portable sun (say, 10-20k lum D65) in their room. If you do want one, you can buy one for less than $100, and plug it into a $10 timer.

You're buying into their marketing pretty hard...
No. I don't see what I wrote that comes across as sarcastic.
That was a good read. Well done pushing that forward, I believe it was the right position to take.

Sounds like this is a good case to shift class starting times to earlier in the morning, at least during the darker months. It would be a health benefit to allow children to sleep in longer anyway. And changing school start times is a lot less disruptive than changing the clock itself.

> Gandi still offers services in Russia

What does that tell you?
This is ridiculous. Why don't they make the regular time permanent? And if people want to have more light in the evening, then they just leave work earlier. Surely that is easier than permanent daylight savings time.

I know people will say it's too hard to change habits and (clock) work hours, but with permanent DST you will have to change that anyway, when people realize how dark winter mornings will be. I predict a lot of people will want to move school start to a later hour then.
So, why not just have schools start one hour later starting in the fall in the areas where that is an issue?
Not just threatening sanctions but actually sanctioning ICC officials [0], and denying ICC investigators visa to hamper their investigations [1].

Which is nowadays commonly handwaved away as the "Embarrassing Trump episode of the US", like it was unprecedented and will never happen again.

But it wasn't Trump who put the responsible ASPA in place, that happened under Bush, and Obama never brought that up as something he disagreed with.

Which is the same dynamic with most of these laws that give more power to the US executive; Both parties keep expanding and enjoying them, it's not seen as a problem because each of them gets their turn to then make use of them.

> That kids will have to travel to school in the dark for the majority of the year, including in most cases standing around in the freezing cold at unlit bus stops?

If we cared at all about the children, schools wouldn't start so early. Let's make this change and then mandate a later start time for all schools that get federal funding. That's what we'd do if we cared about the children.
Yes. Permanent. Until the next time change.

There is no "implementation date" in the current text of the bill. As written, it would take effect immediately.
Not All MFA Is Equal, and the Differences Matter a Lot
If that's true they've already been wrong in recent history. The US changed when they do DST in 2007 and I believe other countries have moved it around recently as well. If you're dealing with timezones (which DST is) you either need the ability to do frequent updates or you need to stop dealing with timezones.
Next step: get rid of timezones. But society isn't ready for that one.
As I understand: Anger is a common pool inside you that is instinctively directed toward the easiest outlet. If your boss yells at you, you yell at your subordinates or get ticked off at the cashier or yell at other drivers or get in an argument with your spouse, etc. (I mean, I hope not and I'm obviously not talking about you in particular, but you know the pattern). You don't direct your anger toward your boss for obvious reasons - not an easy outlet. Simlarly, people who are abused often become abusers of others, not of the people who hurt them.

This person obviously had great emotional problems and for whatever reason directed it at women. If somehow women weren't an option, they would find something else - it's not like they would otherwise be a happy, well-adjusted person.
Strange. In the US the overwhelming majority of consumer eggs are white. The brown ones are sold at a premium. Not a lot of folks pony up the extra.
> Literally our entire justice system is built on the idea that the only ethical option is that victims and families of victims don't decide the flow of our justice process

No, it's not, and the divergence between reality and this description is increasing, essentially monotonically, over time, with legal incorporation of “victim’s rights” into the criminal justice process.

That's not to say it shouldn't be as you describe, just that it isn't.

While it is indeed impossible to read people's minds, people can reasonably sense a mix of insincerity and attention seeking behavior.
In this interesting article "human shields" are ascribed agency they
do not have in reality, thus I think the theories spun from there-on
amount to over-rationalisation.

People in war zones do not make neat decisions as separate, well
informed Bayesian utility maximisers. They have families to leave
behind or protect. Mixed alliances. Unspoken bonds and threats.
Levels of denial, hope, and fear. They are immersed in mixed messages,
propaganda and deception. To protect them, they may not know their own
sons and brothers are insurgents, or that they are proximate to a
weapons cache and so on...

So they cannot fall into neat categories like voluntary, involuntary,
coerced etcetera, and I worry that over-analytical ideas expressed in
the article become justifications for action like bombing a position
because the "human shields" there are deemed willing.

I hope I am not misreading the piece in a shallow way.
I just get "Permission denied (publickey)". The README says to just run ssh-keygen, but I already have an RSA key. Does this server only support ed25519 or something?

You're going to work or at work, so it's irrelevant whether it's sunny outside or not. That hour of sun sitting in morning traffic is completely wasted.

Much better to have the hour of sun after work to do things outside.
This was already the case: almost nowhere really uses Local Meridian Time. Greenwich maybe. Everywhere else, even when located in the most appropriate timezone to line up solar and clock noon, is _already_ off by anywhere from zero to thirty minutes.
Thats true, but you do not have to look long to see, that Tibet was a feudal theocracy, with no dissent allowed, either. But that is history. Modern Tibet deserves to make their own choices, I hope they get the chance to make them one day.

And about old Tibet, I recommend "Seven Years in Tibet", real story of a Nazi who fled a british war prisoner camp in india and then spend 7 years in Tibet, also as a teacher for the young Dalai Lama, until the chinese came. I read and recommend the book, but they also made a Hollywood movie with Brad Pitt out of it (which I have not watched yet, it is supposed to be good, but likely not as deep).

That's false. If the proceeds of the foreclosure sale exceed the amount of debt and foreclosure costs the homeowner is issued a check for the difference. This makes it so banks do not have extra incentive to foreclose on homeowners. This would be a good solution to the problem in this article.
Less so if you don't also throw domains into that basket.

There's your study. Having sunlight when people wake up is good. And if people pass stupid laws that make my life harder for it, I will bitch about it and antagonize them until they change them. Just like pretty much everybody else on this comment page.
Similarly, people thought the world would burn in flames due to Y2K, when dates were going to overflow their bits, kill everyone, and lose banking information. As things happened, the date passed with nary a blip for me or anyone I knew. I suspect this will be similar.

How would this work? Parts of Canada, parts of Mexico, Panama, Colombia, mainland Ecuador, Peru, parts of Brazil, and a bunch of islands are all on Eastern Time. Even if the US changed their own definition of EST it wouldn't change other countries' observations of EST.
It seems like everyone I know has a strong reaction to this news. It’s clear that sunlight is both precious and scarce for the modern office worker. Why do most employers still require butts in seats for almost 100% of the sunlit day in winter?

It makes me really sad to see people fight over a ubiquitous resource like sunlight. It’s neither natural nor healthy to spend all day every day inside, let alone against your will.
The Backrooms
Unless you're extremely lucky (in the sense that you exist in a very particular line of place in each time zone), it is off by an arbitrary and varying amount for everyone everywhere all the time regardless of DST or not.

Clock time is an abstract construction over imperfect measurements and compromises with practicality and it always has been.

[edit to remove under-researched claim about some effects of shifting]
I mean, I'm not sure how much of those are within the bounds of city council.

Around here, we've got a parks district for sport infrastructure. And a county transit authority for transport. Health care would be probably through the county health department. And the schools are through the school board.

So, the city couldn't do any of those things even if it wanted to. Of course, my city also is way too small for a pro sports arena, which is part of why I selected to live here.
As opposed to 4 months of the year as it is currently?
Flipside to that is the sun setting at 4:30 in the winter. I think this also makes solar ever slightly more viable sans storage.
Because they don't do anything after work and would rather commute in the daylight at 7am so the late sun is of no benefit but the early sun is.

Tons of people already work 7-3 so they already deal with the downside in the morning. Not like night is gonna get any darker.
When they shifted the transition time by a month a few years back I remember it causing grief. I had to get rid of an alarm clock that was hard-wired for the old cutover. There were a few other minor inconveniences. Random things definitely broke.
That's not the same meaning of commercial used in the linked clip. High school sports are not a profitable activity for the organization running the team (the school), and building nicer facilities doesn't bring them significant monetary benefit.
The lack of agreement on this point tells us something about why we change clocks and why we should continue to do so (albeit more smoothly).
Not for most of the year if we move up an hour. Especially not during the winter when this would apply.
Actually, even then, the desktop version is usually better on mobile.

Don't even get me started on that unconfigurable limit. Still, there's a very long list that still there. How do you maintain your own index?
Regarding point 1, how is "the people who we force to" an acceptable answer to this? Because that's exactly what happens now. No one wants to work hard, dirty jobs, but there is a societal pressure upon them to, and enough inertia to maintain the status quo that keeps a majority of them where they are.
None with the same performance characteristics, ease of use, and ecosystem size. I'm reasonably competent with Rust, but sometimes I don't want to bash my head against the borrow checker or litter my code with copy/clone. Go hits a nice sweet spot, my main quibbles are that there's no native iterators/comprehensions or sum types with compiler checked exhaustive matching. With generics we can get libraries that allow for more functional style programming, and golangci-lint has a linter for exhaustiveness.

Seconds should be made to have a different duration depending on the time of day and year the second is ticked. This would happen in a way to facilitate a sunrise and sunset to occur at the same time every day of the year.
