Yeah that changes the context somewhat. There's a difference between "We should remove the bi-annual time change, it's unhealthy" (which I agree with and would like to happen) and the wishful thinking "WhAt iF iT wAs SuMmEr aLl yEaR rOuNd" crap that seems beloved of legislators and others who sort of agree that the bi-annual time changes need to go, but have the worst idea of how to implement it.
This paper isn't advocating for keeping bi-annual time changes. It's advocating for standard time. And I agree standard time is probably a better approach, even if some people get butt hurt about the idea of it not still being light at 9pm in the middle of August.
It all depends on who you are optimizing for.
There is no one correct answer, because which one fits your circadian rhythms better depends entirely on what time you wake up.
That argument only works if there either isn't a statistically measurable and consistent bias, or if you assume that bias is because men just have better ideas.
I'd like to see some comparisons between power consumption for JXL and JPEG. Constant image quality, file sizes will vary, total energy consumed by the download and decoding process.
We have known about this for decades. It's called internalized sexism. Back when women where trying to get the vote, some women opposed them. They made the same arguments against it that men did.
It's understood to be largely a product of systemic sexism in our culture. It's been getting better, but it's still there. An example is how ideals of feminity were portrayed in the 1950s. The housewife, the home maker, the mother. Obedient to her husband. That's why there was so much focus on representation, so that girls didn't grow up only seeing that as the natural and proper order of things.
In the 90s there was Girl Power, and for the last 25 years we have had many, many badass action women in movies. They aren't really what we need now though. Just more competent women doing "normal" jobs, or as normal as it gets in TV shows and movies.
Daemon Spawn at that.
we need to regulate speech then, exactly the same way we want to regulate firearms.
Only those authorized by the state ought to have speech. Safety First!

There has never been an explanation of the motive for enshittifying Slashdot. It would be far more profitable with quality moderation.
It's as if Slashdot's owners hate money. While I respect the desire to do less work, even AI would be an improvement. Nerds wanting news and stuff that matters are a very large market.
That's not how LLMs work. While they are trained on existing data, they are also capable of reasoning. They can produce novel solutions to problems.
Just because they don't work the same way as a the human brain doesn't mean that they are not capable of this sort of thing.
Leap hours are just a legal thing to satisfy countries that require UT to be synchronized with the orbit of the Earth around the sun. There won't be one for centuries, i.e. it's so far out that it can be ignored.
Pound for pound, the amoeba is the most vicious animal on earth.
