calling the Cybercab the “most efficient EV ever” is technically accurate, but it’s a bit like comparing a motorcycle’s fuel economy to a sedan’s. The Cybercab is a purpose-built, two-seat autonomous pod with no driver controls. No steering column, no pedal assembly — all of that weight and complexity is gone. Tesla designed a teardrop-shaped body that narrows significantly at the rear, optimized purely for aerodynamics rather than rear passenger comfort or cargo space.
Presumably it's aimed at being a Driverless Taxi, not a consumer car.
"Meanwhile, the program has been hit by a leadership exodus, with three senior leaders departing since February."
That's a good thing. If their top engineers were leaving, that would be a bad thing. When management leaves, the engineers become more efficient.
Embrace the Tao.
But when told this, the programmer once more refused, saying, "I exist so that I can program. If I were promoted, I would do nothing but waste everyone's time. Can I go now? I have a program that I am working on."
Teens in particular are naturally shifted to later sleep and waking. Thinking back, I don't have much memory at all of high school before 2nd period. Not surprising, I was on my feet but still practically sleeping.
It was mostly people in northern states in the darkest days of winter.
I was in 2nd grade in the southern U.S. the year Nixon had us stay on DST for a while. My friends and I really enjoyed the change. It was dark(-ish) when we walked to the bus stop, but we got to take flashlights to school (much more exciting when you're 7 years old!).
You missed the key word "usable" Daylight hours while people are stuck in a dingy cubicle are not usable. Daylight hours after work are.
Soo, and the kids are responsible and need to suffer for their parent's decision? You are one special repulsive asshole.
I ask myself why schools don't just start an hour later
Because parents have to go to work, and after-school programs have a set schedule.
Of course, employers and after-school programs could also adjust their start times for the seasons, and we could agree to switch those start times on the same day.
But that's just reimplementing DST.
"ExxonMobil’s diversification strategy remains marginal and partly relies on gas and unsustainable energies"

ExxonMobil reportedly spent just 0.2% of its capital expenditure on sources of low-carbon energy like wind and solar.
