systemd and Rust, a match made in heaven!

DST is bad. Medicine has countless studies on its negative effects on the circadian rhythm, both due to moving back and forth twice a year, and also if you stick to a fixed time zone that is unnaturally twisted towards solar time. These negative effect impact the economy, so no, "more light in the evening" actually costs everyone. DST does not make any sense. It is just bad. The only people who say they want DST have no clue how time works, nor how their own bodies work. They just want summer. That is what they think the question means. They want more daytime. Well you can't have that! Tilting the face of the clock arbitrarily by an hour, just so you THINK you have "longer evenings" is stupid. There is no polite way to put this. It is stupid. If you want more time in the evening, get up an hour earlier. That is what DST does to you. It makes you get up an hour earlier. The only difference is, with DST, you don't do it voluntarily, even though you could. Making the east cost and west coast of the US have the same time zone would be stupid. The EU does that. In Warsaw, noon is around 12:00, in Madrid it's around 14:00. That's why Spaniards "rise late": the clock face is lying to you. Stick with standard time. Have time zones span roughly 15, not the entire breadth of the continent.

I understand they want to make a buck from AI that was trained on their Imaginary Property but this is nothing but rent seeking. Others have pointed out how art lives from remixes, how creativity is your ability to not even memorize where you heard it first. Courts should slap them down until they've come to their senses.

They are a nuisance everywhere, in so many situations. And the company seemingly does not care. They are not "getting stuck". They could drive to the side of the road. Are they doing that? Doesn't look like it. They are worse than electric scooters being left all over sidewalks, in countries where that is part of the "e-mobility solution".

How about we do the opposite, we extend Section 230 to publishers instead?

The easiest way to fund UBI is to tax automation. Tax company profits derived from robots and AI. If you want, limit it to only such work that a human could have done instead. That way, humans who are out of a job due to automation could be supported by the automation that made them obsolete.

In some countries, business owners are allowed to engage a lawyer to write nastygrams to all the reviewers that wrote non-stellar reviews. In the case of Google reviews, they send it to Google, and Google then has to figure out if there is any merit to what that lawyer claims. The common claims are: "this individual was never a customer of my client's business" or "this is defamatory". Good luck expressing your opinion like a regular human without saying anything that could be turned into a rope for you. It affects not just Google but all review sites. Reviews are worthless in all places where such a nastygram can legally touch you. This finally stops that. I hope.

Don't blame Bitcoin. Bitcoin is reacting to the bad economy, not the other way around. Strongest sign of this is when its price moves most, which is during weekdays. On weekends, when the stock markets are closed, it's trying to recover.

Just publish all the engineering data. Enable the users to figure out how to run their own local "cloud service" to keep these features alive. Who knows, maybe "the community" is even willing to pay a buck a month for someone to keep running the infrastructure as is? They were willing to slap loads of cash on the table for those cloud-dependent devices in the first place.

In Germany, any company can get its online reviews purged of everything that isn't positive, simply by paying some lawyer a hundred bucks or so. They'll tell Google that each and every undesired review is fraudulent. They'll even go so far as to claim, against evidence to the contrary, that whoever posted the review was never a customer. Google will contact all the reviewers and ask for proof. In front of that law that makes this possible, you're guilty by default. It's on you, the reviewer, to prove your innocence, or else your review gets deleted. I hate it. Reviews in Germany are worthless. Honest/poor/clueless businesses bear their mark, while the scummy ones, that reviews are supposed to warn you away from, just clean their reviews until they shine and sparkle.

Your right stops where anyone takes offence to what you say, or what they think you meant.

200 complaints probably amounts to less than one hour of bicyclist interactions with meatbag drivers. California-wide of course. I also find it hilarious that the abstract implies that MOST of those complaints involving autonomous mobiles are due to two brands: Cruise and Waymo. Are they so over-represented in Cali, or does this imply that other auto-mobile makers are doing fine?

2038 is not "the epoch". That's a certain amount of seconds PAST the epoch. Real high quality article there.

The Spirit of Libraries is free access to knowledge, for everyone. Publishers need to be reined in. If you don't, their greed will run everything. These judges need a splash of cold water in their faces. They are supposed to serve the people. Sure sure, "but the law says". Then also blame the lawmakers that enable this. The Spirit of Libraries is free access to knowledge, for everyone.
