I should have added:

"In general, renaming things does not fix a problem."

Though heaven knows, lots of stupid people try it.

Why not just discard the whole idea of DST instead of putting it into permanent effect?

The whole concept is an attempt to redefine time as a way of addressing perceived social problems. Schedule activities around the clock, not the clock around activities.

Not surprised that someone exploited a vulnerability, but surprised that deployed military personnel are allowed to use civilian communication systems.

More than 35 years ago, well before the Internet, BBSes ruled.

One I was a pillar of was nothing but a wall where you would post anonymously (or not).
The software was written to verify the typing rate to make sure that no text was uploaded

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!

I wrote a special terminal program that would randomize the time between characters to foil that BBS's rejection of uploads...

(Oh, it worked, and the dude running the show never found out).

"The notion that there is a shortage of physicians is preposterous - the residency programs will continue to be filled every single year."

How on earth are those two things contradictory? The problem is there are too few residencies for how many physicians we need.

The launch pads are not in outer space.

Seems kind of premature, the knuckleheads that are trying to do orbital datacenters have about as much chance of developing a feasible, economic orbital data center as I do in being crowned Miss America.

I'm having a bit of trouble working up any sympathy, as the saying goes.

The FSB is certainly getting a good ROI on their investment in Trump.

As an american... the US models are _garbage_. Full or restricitons and censorship. I can't do anything without triggering some kind of cybersecurity flag and blocking me. Fable 5, Opus 4.8 and even Sonnet are useless. Codex, too. Just blocks you and won't work. We need UNRESTRICTED MODELS.

> AI models are designed to advance Beijing's narratives, censor dissent, and reflect CCP ideology and values.
Ironically, this isn't true and it's the US models that censor and restrict. The Chinese open source models are GOLD.

AI is so smart that it can hallucinate without even having to take drugs.

Undoubtedly the origin of the Hobbit-steals-dragons-treasure meme.

I think you mean, "so the middle men can pocket the savings".

This is the blandest, most watered-down way to say "lost their job" yet. Quite nauseating.

"Thank you Vera much."
