You need bigger quotes for your standard work day. I haven't seen a 9am standard in a LONG time. I've seen lots of 0730 start time's and "core" hours of 1000 - 1400. I'd love a job that didn't start till 9am. I've heard those called bankers hours but they still have them start at 0800 to 0830 and open the doors at 0900 for some of the older fashion places.

The whole standard vs daylight savings time argument is missing the forest for the trees. A vast majority of people want to stop changing the clock twice a year but where their city ends up keeps the tension/paralysis intact. Those on the west side of a time zone want to keep it one way and those on the east want the other way. The answer is to drop the 4 time zones for CONUS and return to how time was set pre-1883. Every urban area takes its mean solar noon sun as noon for the clocks. So UTC + longitude / 15 would be an area's current time.

Back then it was settled on 4 in the continental US since it was easy math for the trains. Now that smart phones and computers calculate all our times and they already store timezones as urban areas it would be simply updating a table.

US centric example but works world wide.

It may be what he's going for but he doesn't have resources to back it up. If he tried it during the Marshall plan days it might have worked. But now the US exports solid IOU's in exchange for knickknacks. He's tearing apart the confidence in the IOUs, even publicly flirting with the idea of defaulting, while destroying the fundamental's of the US economy. It's an annoyance for other countries while it wrecks havoc on the US economy. In the long run this will weaken the US and strengthen other countries' trade. Already happening in the short run. Ask US farmers how its going versus Brazilian farmers. Ask Ford how their balance sheet looks this last quarter.

Better I would say is a mount that brings the blade to neutral buoyancy and then a series of drone airships that handle the propulsion.

Someone didn't live through the loss of the floppy drive, DB9 ports, and parallel ports.

It's just another step in eliminating all penetrations that can possibly introduce water into the system. First was speakers/mics, next was buttons, and now SIM slot. Only thing left now is the USB C port which I'm sure is next on the plate.

Cancer rates for rural populations(457.6 per 100,000) are higher than urban (447.9 per 100,000). https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.go...

So when do we get lawsuits against MS for XBox and Sony for Playstation developer fees?

And MS is going to package up the open source software in libraries to embed in their code.

They are positioned to handle trade winds from the NE. The vertical geography of the island makes the sites very poor for winds coming from the SW.

I believe the notification solution was a compromise with the cellular providers. They didn't want a whole bunch of devices holding IP connections open on their network. In the beginning even the notification channel Apple had was a negotiated capability and they still had to reset the connection at least every 24 hours. The early billing systems were each data connection was a call on the system. You could see in your bill about one data call a day with a boatload of data that lasted all day long.

The simple solution for you would just schedule a background task that runs every few minutes or so via a background push and if there are new messages issue an on-device notification.

Every metro region should establish it's own time zone with 1200 as high solar. Currently you'll see a huge bias of those on one side of a time zone wanting to stay on Daylight savings versus standard time. Smart watches and phones would have no issues tracking it. Calendars would be fine. Only significant issue I see is that meetings won't normally be on top of the hour if you aren't all in the same timezone.

Fermi 2 in Michigan had a similar event where they released Tritated water into Lake Erie. It got some local press but that's about it.

People should definitely know where their HV battery cut-off is located. Model 3 had is under the back passenger side seat. Completely disconnects the battery from connections outside the battery pack. I suspect what happens is that it's occasionally engaged to charge up the 12V system. If the car is or has been submerged and when it engages the HV circuits that happen to be shorted from the salt corrosion you get a run-away thermal event. Throwing that switch prevents the contactor from engaging the HV.

With a 12.3 year half-life I assume you mean future civ as in 100 years? After 123 years the activity will be down by a factor of 1024. Far less than one atom decaying in a liter of water per second.
