I see the attraction of utc, but doesn't that completely mess with things that reference system time to adjust incoming time-related things?

Eg a meeting request from another system in a different time zone, where it says "the meeting is at 5pm for my sender, but you receiver are x hours different, so I adjust your announced meeting time by the"?

AH, I get it. As long as you consume the proper flavor of slop, then bootlicking is approved.

Thanks for explaining!

Simple. There is a difference between not knowing and not doing. People do not always do their job correctly because they don't care.

The car would not have been towed if the police did not request it. One of the issues I can see is police treat a Flock as infallible perfect identification when, at best, it generates possible suspects in this case. The police in this case did not use their best judgement ignoring their doubts and towed the car anyways.

I just wish they would go back to standard time and leave it! DST is a stupid thing that has no real benefit in the world today. "Oh! But you get an extra hour of daylight!". No, you get your sleep rhythm messed up. Ok, then set the clocks to DST all the time. Yeah, and for most people the sun won't rise in the winter until after they get to work. Those in the northern hemisphere won't see sunrise until after 9am! The old indian chief said it best: "only white man think cut bottom off blanket and sew on top, make blanket longer."

Someone should ask media/technology studies professor Torin Monahan at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill how much a college degree is today.

Oh wait, anyone can look that up.... $47k/yr.

Perhaps that isn't the (chapel) hill Mr Monahan wants to die on?

"Humanism] tends to appeal to people who are skeptical of a god or other supernatural power yet still seek a scientific and moral framework to ground themselves in. "

St Athanasius, St Augustine, & Erasmus would all be somewhat surprised to hear that they were skeptical of God.

Lol at the atheists conveniently forgetting that the entire basis of Western Humanism came from the Catholic Church and ultimately Protestantism.

While such bootlicking is repellent, some of us would note with irony the attacks here from people who - with the same craven, lickspittle reasoning - cheerfully spent 2020-2024 (and some until today) insisting we disregard things like penises when determining "what is a woman" eh?

Permanent Daylight Savings Time was tried and reversed in 1974, because people hated it ...

In Canada, the three Western provinces (British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan) moved to permanent daylight savings today.

The team of doctors in Canada analyzed available research on what permanent daylight savings would do to human health, and recommended that permanent standard time be used instead.

Thou shalt not disfigure the soul.

Thou shalt not make a machine to counterfeit a human mind.

Like all good science fiction, one day it's no longer fiction.

While I'd love imaginary propulsion tech to be our saviour here, you know that Hubble exists outside a lab, right?

"Peer Review and Scrutiny: While showcased at venues like the Electrostatics Society of America, APEC, and technical discussions, the claims sit well outside conventional physics consensus, and full peer-reviewed validation is pending"

Yeah, why would you post something as ridiculous at "computer tech put in orbit" on Slashdot? Absurd.

It's not like this is a TECH site anymore. This is a "we fucking hate MUSK" site.

Get with the program.

Last August, NASA's contracted a company to boost the Swift space telescope.

But the rescue mission had control and positioning problems, and the whole thing was called off.

I hope that another mission succeeds for Hubble (and perhaps Swift?)

Last December, a client of 8 years informed me that they no longer have the traffic that generates revenue to justify spending money on my services.

The web site is a reference to some well known software, and documents all the intricacies of how to use it. They relied on ads because they had a lot of traffic when someone searches for the name of the software and a feature of it.

That traffic plummeted because "AI is killing content web sites" (their words).

So I totally believe Reddit on this, and many other sites will follow in the next year or two.

Not just Apple, but pretty much any publicly traded company. All they care about these days it making the stock price higher. They don't care about innovation. Especially when (not just apple) other companies that make smart phones and what not can get people to line up to buy a new one EVERY YEAR.
