Why do business schedules need to change with the season? And wouldn't it depend on the business anyway?

I'm curious to know what businesses you're even thinking of. I know farmers hate the time changes. I know office workers hate the time changes. I can't think of any reason a factory would need to open earlier during the warmer months than the colder months.

Who actually wants it?

(Also I can't believe I agree with TFG about something. Urgh. I need to shower.)

If you mean "permanent standard time" would be preferable, I agree. But permanent DST is better than changing the clocks twice a year.

What they should do is define 6:00 AM to be whenever dawn happens.

It's more in democracies lots of people are squeamish about things that don't directly benefit them, or which they aren't used to.

If people cared about humanity to animals, the way chickens are raised would be illegal.

Gracious of you to make a joke that illustrates that you actually understand how braindead your original analogy was.

You're going to need to deal with immune rejection first, and in a way that doesn't disable the immune system.

Because shiftiness and dishonesty are built into the Chinese psyche. We have measured the Asiatic brainpan with calipers and found that it lacks the capacity of the white brain. Why is it the more socially progressive the account, the more viciously racist it is? Has anyone figured this out?

It boggles my mind that somebody could write those words while presumably entertaining the thought that they were making a cogent point.

They don't want to take money that can then be demanded to be returned after having spent it. It's quite simple. What constitutes discrimination is subjective - don't look at me, every nation has volumes of evolving laws and case law on trying to define discrimination, and in what cases it's legally permitted. Knowing this administration, the bar in the agreement probably isn't even legal - just, "When we say you're doing it, you're doing it." You'd be stupid to take money on those terms. They might as well take money that is only allowed to be spent on "super cool shit, although we can then decide later that something isn't as cool as we said it was the month before".

NSF reserves the right to terminate financial assistance awards and recover all funds if recipients, during the term of this award, operate any program in violation of Federal anti- discriminatory laws or engage in a prohibited boycott.

Hilarious. Hey, would you like to take on a massive economic liability? Take this money!

Where the definition of "discriminatory practices" is up to the NSF, subject to whatever day of the week it is, and the claw backs are retroactive to money already spent?

Independent of your (stupid in your case) politics, that's a poison pill. No rational actor should be expected to swallow that.

I didn't say I had a problem with it; I was just stating that it's very commonplace and it has nothing to do with 'renter's mentality' as it happened when purchasing a home (this is the 4th home I've purchased in my lifetime).

There are LOTS of specialized niche forms of business that AI can do to a certain degree. Often as well as, or better than, people. (Remember, LLMs are only one facet of AI, though a very publicized one.) More usually, at least right now, the AI can only do a part of the job better than people, and totally can't handle another part. But that means you need fewer people.

OTOH, expect most AI applications to fail. That was what happened when computers first started to be widely applied. But the ones we remember are the successes.

Reality denier. Your reality?

You sound communist.

The broader trend is that there is a self segregation taking place. I moved to Texas. I love it here. You can be a communist in California and enjoy it there.

The market will sort it out.

Bell curve results  do not serve the purpose of formal education. The concepts of   "discovery" and "mastery" ought to be used instead, and course content ( NOT  fudge grading ) limited as required to achieve those goals. For example, after E&M-101 &  vector calculus course, mastering elementary Maxwell Equation tasks ought to require 3-18-week semesters  not 2-12-week terms.  The top 1/2/3 A-students are smoking, but also 50% of the class is ready to take-on J.D. Jackson  & Landeau/Lifshitz. The "gentlemans-C" is no dishonor. As a retired prof I believe a "mastery" agenda provides for the greatest student learning without fudging grades or "leaking" content.

A person with a 'management' title has no theoretical limit to the top end of their salary. Everyone else does.
