Comment if it was about mental health we would shift time (Score 1) 279

If it was about health outcome, we would shift our time to adapt to the sun. But we don't we have, for example, 8h-17h always , winter and summer. That's what is unhealthy - our biology is adapted to do our activity with sun rise/sun set - not with a fix time DST or not does not change that much.

Comment There are measurement you can do to verify that. (Score 3, Informative) 17

Quiet a few astronomical observation on very distant galaxy (so ancient light) shows that some of the fine structure constant did not change with time, or changed less than 10^-5 of its value (https://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/9803165), maybe somebody has a more recent article on whether that alpha change was confirmed or not.

Comment Re:Isn't a memecoin (Score 1) 131

Somewhat, we do know of some large parties that bought the Trump memecoin. The problem isn't knowing who did it, the problem is that this activity isn't counted as political fundraising which it clearly was, it was just "buying a memecoin". I don't want foreign governments and the ultra rich paying my president bribes to get favors. We know who did it, but it's currently legal apparently.

Comment They want to disallow china AI model (Score 2) 105

They are not trying to protect you or anybody. The idea IMO in those dire warning are:
1) make a lot of noise and dire warning
2) get congress to pass the "responsible AI act (TM)" which will only allow "responsible model"
3) Only the local US grown model are declared "responsible model"
4) China and other country are naturally excluded
5) ask politician to put sanction on those who use "irresponsible model"
6) profit.

Comment that's not what union are (Score 1) 122

"A labor union wants to be, and often is, the exclusive provider (that is, seller) of labor to a company or industry. "

Labor Union do not provide exclusively labor to companies. What they do is have the power of collective bargaining, job protection, safety - which is utterly different to being "exclusive provider of job".
You may confusing normal labor union, with hiring hall union (e.g. in construction/actors/voice actor). That is a widely different type of union. Most union are NOT hiring hall union.

Feel free to correct me.

"The UK may not regulate US entities without the consent of the US government"

The UK can wholly regulate US entity doing commerce in the UK on what they can or cannot do while selling to UK citizen, and their modality of information being saved UK data information for later access in UK.

And the US government can do diddly squat on that except trying political pressure (thus the article), and the company can go out of the UK market if they don't like the modality of it. Which in this case they did not, they agreed to remove some encryption instead, while probably going to thug the dick of the politician they donate to, and whine ask them to do something.

I call it a long cut (as in the opposite of a short cut)

I call it the indirector's cut. Not saying it's a good joke, but that's what I do.
For comparison, my Hyundai EV, when I plug it in at home, says "Charging started." So if I time it right I can say "Iiiii've plugged it in, so you'd better get this.." "charging started." It's a guaranteed groan if someone witnesses it.

That'll show all those Californians who put Trump in power! A boycott on Californian products will of course anger Trump since he loves California so much /s

In case you're not paying attention, he's illegally withholding funding to California and other blue states because they didn't support him. But hey, California is part of America, so boycott away. Just remember there are many entire states of people on your side and opposed to this horrible bullshit.
