Arizona doesn't have any issues. They're standard time year round.

We _should_ abolish DST. The issue is that there are people who want to abolish Standard Time because, I don't know, they have weird notions about how awesome it is to have the sun up at 8pm. Or don't understand that there are just fewer hours of sunlight in the winter in general. Yeah, it's going to get dark earlier, it's a thing that happens every year. It's better to have early morning sun than late evening sun.

And the last time we tried abolishing standard time, everyone hated it and we went back to switching between daylight and standard. But places that abolish daylight savings time never go back.

It's a case where people are particularly stubborn about wanting to validate their feelings rather than do the thing that would actually work. Because people bitch and bitch about standard time in the winter and think they're bitching about the time system. When really, they're just bitching about it being winter, but they don't realize that.
But ByteDance, TikTok's owner, operates it's own analogous app in China, Douyin
There are groups pursuing a number of legal actions in the arena to fight this practice. Up until recently, it's been mostly subscription games that get shutdown which is a murky grey area but game companies have started doing this with full priced titles that have sold over 14 million units. The best chances of any progress are in the EU.

Er, does nginx have some fail2ban built-in? Because it really sounds like that's apples-to-oranges.
Here's some with tech jobs listed:

https://workday.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/Workday
https://shipt.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Shipt_External

It doesn't seem like there's a global listing across myworkdayjobs.com sites - each company using it has its own sub-domain. Which sort of makes sense - Workday is an internal HR/employee portal tool licensed to companies.
It really is a shame, in my opinion, that this is how the US has decided to deal with this issue. I understand how TikTok is a propaganda threat, but also see how Facebook, Twitter/X, or most any other social media is susceptible to that same manipulation. Unfortunately, I can't think of a way to legislate the threat away effectively.

Supporting Error Chains in Static Analysis for Precise Evaluation Results
Pretty much everything except the browsers.

I use several video players, including mpv, vlc and ffmpeg, and they have always used without problems the hardware video decoding and encoding on all kinds of GPUs.

Only with Firefox and Chrome/Chromium in most versions the hardware acceleration is broken, even if there have been some versions where it worked fine (on NVIDIA), but at the next browser upgrade it was broken again.

This does not bother me much, because I do not like to watch video files in a browser anyway. I always download them first and I play them locally.
Counter-anecdote: for long haul international flights I seek out the B787 dreamliner because of how comfortable it is.

The question is ultimately whether it changes broad consumer behavior. No doubt it does for a few, but for most I imagine it simply doesn't weigh as high as cost or convenience
I have been convinced for several years now that insurance companies are likely buying up personal data from many different sources. They seem to be ideal consumers because it'll lead to better outcomes when they can increase rates on those that identify as risky.
While i'm familiar with depots, i didn't think that you could delete those at will assuming a user had purchased them. Is there just one "master" depot that is locked from being deleted?

And yeah, while you could push an update that bricks the game that is a pretty good way to get valve really angry at you, plus it takes actual malice instead of disinterest.

And Valve can definitely delete stuff if needed by the DMCA or whatever, but that's locked to their side, not the publisher as i understand.
The popular Mandelbrot zoom-in videos all seem to develop rotational symmetry before long, and the order of that symmetry only increases over time. I've assumed that this is artifact of precision errors compounding.
Honestly what ideals?
China is the proof that it's unworkable! In Xinjiang, even though everyone is "officially" on BJT, lots of shops publish hours in local solar time and that's what a lot of people use for their actual lives. If an authoritarian government can't make people use time that's three hours out of sync with the sun, what hope is there to get liberal democracies to get people using time that's eight, nine, ten hours out of sync? It will just mean everyone uses informal local time standards, and now instead of making things simpler you've blown up the complexity by orders of magnitude.
These places create food deserts, for the reason you mention. They are engineered to get poorer people to come there instead of a normal grocery store. The grocery store in your neighborhood struggles and closes, now you have to drive twice as far to get fresh produce, or go to Family Dollar and buy a week's worth of frozen Banquet meals.

That can't be healthy for any population.

I avoid these stores on principle now, even for things where it makes sense to go to a dollar store.
Do you drive a car to work, or to get groceries? If so, is that really safer than getting in a Boeing airplane?
I don't hate time zones because I have to deal with them in software - there's libraries for that. I hate time zones because I have to deal with people, who never talk in GMT and rarely specify whose time zone they're referring to when scheduling something and don't know if they're currently in DST or not.
I have been seeking mental healthcare but i am not sure they understand the severity of my problems. i was prescribed meds but i keep missing to take them on time, as per suggested schedule.

this makes me doubt whether i have a mental problem or i am just a lazy, unorganized person who can't change my dysfunctional habits.

>> But a grotesquely corrupt Congress means federal inquiries will likely go nowhere (also keep in mind looming Supreme Court rulings are poised to erode federal regulatory authority further). And any inquiries that do materialize will feature fines that are miniscule compared to the money made from the abuses.

Wow. That's a new low standard for journalism. Whatever happened to keeping opinions and news separate?

And no, modern Congress is not more corrupt than historical standards (which are extremely directly-buying-votes low), nor is reform unlikely.

It simply needs enough people to care about the issue and mobilize (see MA and CA efforts mentioned in the article!): kvetching on the web about the futility of action isn't going to help.

Brilliant, thanks - I'll check it out
Are _any_ of the following true?

1. You worked on this in company time? (i.e. Github history shows you did)

2. Your company asked someone (inc you or your team) to make this? (i.e. you got inspiration directly from it)

3. You worked on this on company equipment? (i.e. work provided your primary machine and you used the tools the company provided in your spare time to build this)

If _any_ of those is true, then your employer likely has a claim over the IP.

If _none_ of this is true, then you should be fine but it also depends on your employer, the culture there, and whether this is perceived as being valuable to them... YMMV.
Dependency management data case studies
But everything you said assumes the MBA and culture is a certain way. My classes quite often emphasized case studies where long term thinking, innovation, and quality were key to success: examples like Costco and the Toyota Production System were in my materials published by Harvard Business Publishing. The way that Trader Joe’s gives store employees the freedom to respond to local tastes was another case study I read about.

My courses emphasized gathering feedback from employees and empowering them to make decisions. We learned about multiple different ways to compete which were very often not based on “cost cutting.”
non-political is political. Do you imagine that there aren't people making political TikToks? Or that non-political themes don't affect politics? Or that bubble control doesn't affect politics?
I've flagged it because it leads to an empty page. Fix the URI.

There was a limited time between standardised time across a country or region, and the creation of DST.

Before the 1800s the day began when the sun came up, this varied every day. Clipping this to specific hour is far more sensible for a global community.
That's traditionally how things worked prior to railroads in the second half of the 19th century. Every city and town would use the official time on a public clock (often on the town hall) based on solar noon. It's the railroads that demanded time zones to make their scheduling easier.
>> China literally has a nationwide firewall to prevent Western ideas from entering the minds of its subjects. Why should we throw open our digital borders to Chinese influence campaigns?

Emulating the policies of a country 'we' think 'is bad' isn't great policy.

>> undermine Americans' faith in our democratic institutions

It seems like Americans did a pretty good job of this themselves at the last election cycle. A highly politicised Supreme Court, a violent attack on the Capitol, a lot of people who don't accept or believe the election result. How much worse can TikTok make things?

It's a good thing that I never wrote that except when I quoted you, then. Keep your strawmen.
All protected viewpoints whether we agree with them or not.
Yea I think this author completely ignores what you can do with technology. First of all, most people, today, will already Google search 'what time is it in Australia?' so there is already a lookup step.

No imagine replacing this step with 'is now a good time to call someone in Australia?' or 'what local times of mine are good to call someone in Australia?'. You can have a tool/app/algo which accounts for the differences in daylight, cultural differences in working hours, holidays etc and just tells you what a good time is.
For the truly poor on food stamps Aldi is not an option. They do not accept food stamps.
The easiest way to disable this is by physically removing the cell modem from your vehicle, which is very straightforward. Without egress, the only way for data harvesting to occur is by physical access, typically at a dealership. However, virtually all automotive cell modems are either packaged on the same chip as the GNSS receiver, or colocated on the same daughter board. As such, choosing to retain control over your data typically comes at the cost of foregoing the built in navigation system and other features such as emergency calling.
The point is that they get to access the Western market with their dancing video app, but Westerners aren't allowed to access their market with the apps they make. That gives those Chinese companies an unfair advantage in potential market reach.
Ah, yeah you're correct. The article also mentions console marketplaces, and those will actually really delete stuff.
The general idea seems promising, but how will it work? What differentiates it from existing solutions?
How do you represent a JSON field in Go that could be absent, null or a value?
The misconception about dollar stores is that they sell cheaper products. However it’d be cheaper to buy almost anything per unit at Costco. Dollar stores provide a service when they sell the same products but smaller sizes, which makes it easier for people who don’t have enough cash to buy stuff.
Americans claim to value open access to information. We could go even further and implement a copy of the great firewall of China, but should we?
That page does say data does not leave the US.

It is "minimized", or in other words, accessible from China.

It is equally instructive to compute the set on CPU and on GPU.
Anyone know how feasible enough to require modern (powered-everything) cars have at least 1 window that has backup manual rolling for this scenario? or is it just too rare for the increased complexity?
I would second this. I believe people are bunching a lot of things together: pilot error, maintenance issues, airplane defects into one big "BOEING SUCKS" billboard.
Not a dig at you, but I see you plugging this on everything even remotely similar to your app. With the caveat that your product is not even out? Is the intention just to build hype?

Seems a bit disingenuous is all.
That hasn’t been my experience at all. Which password manager are you using?
So the link does nothing for me on my combination of macOS and FF other than display a black screen and a brief loading anim. After that it does nothing and remains a black screen. This post isn't about that, but to explain why I opened the DevTools. I even disabled my tools to make the web usable like uBO.

The logs in the console output are quite "interesting". I'm fastidious about the output I leave in the console. I find it odd how much others are not.

That's false, American social media simply refused to follow Chinese law. (I believe facebook specifically refused to remove accounts belonging to ETIM/TIP, an organisation recognised by the UN, EU and at the time the USA as a terrorist group)

The exit plan for all aviation startups in the US is to sell out to Boeing or Lockheed (preferably with an acquihire), or be folded into their supply chain. Zero exceptions.
I've been using Google Sheets as a data store for some of my latest projects, and it's really (mostly) delightful.

https://www.wheremoneygo.com barely has a database, and bedsides protecting the Google access keys has minimal privacy/security risk.

The main risk, and something I've only seen once, is a corrupted database on the Google Sheets side. Since I don't want to keep backups of peoples sheets, if something goes wrong on the Google-side the entire database could be lost.

They're misquoting Park et al. The PV study reduced visceral fat. If you take anything (including coffee) that results in lipolysis, and then don't burn the newly freed fats off with activity, it just goes (re-deposits) somewhere else. Specific to the PV paper, it resulted in a redistribution of the fat from VAT to SAT.

TL;DR: Pomegranate vinegar shifts fat from omentum to subcutaneous tissue. It does not increase muscle mass.

In the 'status update' post that's linked from the article, they acknowledge the old licensing situation won't fly and say they're trying to figure out a way forwards that keeps as much as possible open source without becoming a tasty snack for AWS.

So yes, the license you read is a reason why I wouldn't touch it either, but hopefully a bit further down the line the licensing situation will change substantially and we can both update our opinions then.
Has there been any evidence of disinformation campaigns on TikTok?
Off the top of my head you could potentially find closeted homosexuals, who could be leveraged.

Edit: Not to mention location data alone is valuable. The entire intelligence community runs on information, all of it has some value.
i consulted an adhd specialist who said i am unlikely to have adhd, but could possibly have a personality disorder. i was supposed to go for another session later on but she had implied that i am only mentally capable enough to be a bagboy/cashier in a store.

But now that i think about it, she may have been right. My actions and beliefs do seem to point to a low intellect and i may be narcissistic.

Apart from the lack of transparency it solves by using blockchain, this system will be able to avoid fake reviews by using a DAO for dispute resolutions of those fake reviews, downgrading or completely removing the power of reviewing from those users who misuse the platform.
Low. ByteDance will do whatever they can to delay enforcement by challenging the law for as long as they can, and in the background they'll setup a new corporate structure that maintains their status quo while technically complying with the law, at which point they'll back off from the legal battle and graciously accept the new law that they've already loopholed their way around.

Spotify not serving high resolution doesnt make it low (so called bad) resolution. Hi-res sold by other platforms is bandwidth waste and a much better thing to fight if you ask me. Also, What a pretentious guy, claiming his music needs the highest bitrate available. People have listened to his hippie songs and enjoyed them on the crappiest systems since more than 50 years now. He’s not talking about music here, just idiotphile snake oil.
They're already informal and person-dependent. When does someone wake up when they're on night shift?

The problem we have today is that we have mass confusion as to when common events like meetings are. In a distributed society like ours, it doesn't matter if I wake up at 04:00 or 17:00 but it does matter when the basketball game is or the meeting is or when the company in Lebanon starts.

The constraints of our society have changed. People in India work the hours in London. People in Florida work the hours of California, and vice versa.

And as we see, we already have countries that span four "natural" time zones and Western China has some ability to adjust.
Reasonable precautions here were likely to be proper masking from visitors and adequate air filtering in the room. Not something too hard to expect from people visiting a sick person.
to use the article's example though — if you want to call your uncle Steve, you're thinking: is it a good time? i.e. is he likely interruptable or would he be in bed/getting ready for work/at work?

If they feel there is a sufficient security threat posed by US based social media/apps, then I see no reason why they shouldn't.

But its pretty clear that the security threat posed by US based services vs certain others is starkly different, especially since the US is generally seen as a beneficial/friendly state.
I wouldn't be offended but we didn't really do any of that, at least not as a systematic government effort. We required registration of foreign agents which the government used as a basis to stop Nazi propaganda newspapers when they didn't register. But they had the option to register. Sputnik radio is registered and broadcasting today in the US. The strict interpretation of the Espionage Act that Wilson et al wanted was later overturned.
