I still have to go to work, which still starts at 9, so I still have to get up around 7:00 ~ 7:30. Which would be at least 3 hours before sunrise if my country would choose permanent DST.
So no, I cannot do what's right for me which is live by the solar cycle.
Lot's of people need sunlight for their natural sleep/wake cycles. Shifting the time an hour away from the natural time zone makes it harder for most people.
Problem with DST is that people don't understand the consequences of their choices. An oft heard argument is that one wants to keep DST year round, because they're a night dweller and they like the extra hour of light at the end of the day in winter too. What they don't understand is there is also an extra hour of dark at the start of the day. They'll have to get up an hour earlier in winter because of permanent DST. Consequently they'll have to go to bed an hour earlier. Exactly the opposite a night dweller would want.
Personally I don't care if we abandon DST. I live in the Netherlands, which is quite northerly. We get about 8 hours of sunlight in winter, and 16 hours in summer. But please for the love of god don't establish DST year round. I'd like to have the sun up before 9:30 please.
"but your rights end at wherever" argument is that it's an ever shifting, subjective line.
It is. But in general your rights end where you're endangering others. Or where things you do are stupid and costly to society (you know, cutting you out of your car, driving you to the morgue and doing all police paperwork is quite expensive).
So no, if you think you absolutely positively have to be able to drive faster than 112 mph, you're an antisocial maniac. Or an american, which is close to the same.
For Tesla fanboys, the lower price will definitely drive more sales. Problem is: there is a limited amount of fanboys. Once they all have their car, you'll have to sell them to Regular Joe which is way, way harder.
The million dollar question is: how many fanboys are there? And are new fanboys created by word-of-mouth? I certainly don't know.
Of course it's stupid to think anybody in their right mind would order and buy a car in order to just evaluate it, while you can simply go to any Hyundai, Kia, Volkswagen, or Peugeot (in Europe) dealership and drive an electric car with a similar price to the Model 3. And more and more brands are added to that list. And yes, I omitted Jaguar and Audi because they only compete to the Model S and Model X.
Yes, buying an entire car just to evaluate the drive against competitors is a vastly superior to just going to a dealership and drive the thing for free.
I don't think they're trolling. Most, if not all, flat earthers are religious. Science makes their believes less relevant, and therefore scientific thinking should be rejected.
He has a couple of good arguments. And a very bad one.
Good: - It's good enough. Better is more expensive. - If you want change, change. Don't ask somebody else to change.
Bad: - I'm used to it
So yeah, 24 fps is there to stay unless someone is willing to make the change. And it probably objectively will look better (albeit at a higher price). But then everybody who's a film snob and used to 24 fps will complain, making the change even harder.
This should not be viewed as a failure, but as a great achievement. Correctly designed and functioning safety systems and protocols saved human life. This is infinitely more important than any space mission.
It should be viewed as a failure. From failures you can learn and improve.
Also, the mission goal was not achieved, so clearly a failure.
"a technology that allows processors to run parallel operations on different cores of the same multi-core CPU"
Not it's not. It's a technology that allows processors to present a single physical core as two logical cores. Two threads of software can run simultaneously on a single physical core.
It's mostly an optimization of the execution pipeline. When execution in one thread stalls, it can pick up processing in the other thread. It typically boosts performance by about 10-20%. And yes, I can see this could cause problems regarding timing if you can cause a pipeline stall based on a condition you want to test in the other thread on the same core. It'll be hard though. Maybe too hard to justify disabling HT altogether. Providing a switch to turn it off in case an exploit is discovered would be more wise I think.
And since ICANN obviously does a lot of business worldwide (they manage the *generic* TLDs), they also do so in the EU. There are quite a lot of accredited registrars in Europe.
If *you* don't do business abroad, please use the cctld for your own country, such as.us.
Where I live you wouldn't have gotten opiates in both cases. Ibuprofen in a slightly higher dosis then over-the-counter, if you're lucky. And then for a week max.
So yes, I think it's quite excessive what you got.
When you're running thousands of systems, spontaneous reboots happen. Could be due to some power fluctuation caused by a flaky PSU for example. Intel's now saying that the expected number of spontaneous reboots has risen with the new microcode.
When running a few systems you shouldn't notice spontaneous reboots.

So when exactly does this fiscal year start and end? And why be explicit it's in fiscal 2023 and not in actual 2023?
Darker later = get up earlier. It that what you want?

You must be a morning person then. Good on you.

It's a crossover.
The whole "an suv is not a car"-thing is stupid anyway.

Too bad you don't know what you're talking about.
Journald is a seperate binary with exactly one purpose, which is exactly the mantra of unix design.
It's a small binary too, 123 KB on my system. ls is larger. It does use a 2.2 MB systemd library though.

If inflation for the USD was 32%, then on average prices will have risen 32% for common goods in the US. Did they? Don't think so.

A great success for the safety systems though.
Call a significant number of people and ask them if they got the message. "A significant number" would be around 1000 probably.
I have trouble operating touchscreens in a moving car. I wonder what it'll be to operate them atop a rocket pulling multiple g's.
If WW3 breaks out, Elon will figure out a way to turn a Falcon 9 into an ICBM faster than you can say 'fanboys tend to ignore facts'.

As you can read in their statement, they want to be secure. Being usable is not one of their priorities.
If feeding them keeps them alive for longer, despite being poisoned, then that's exactly the point.
What amount of poisoning are you talking about by the way? What increase in life expectancy can we expect by banning Bayer products?
Thanks for the fix, you're right.

You're entirely correct. Only companies with offices inside the EU (as ICANN has) or with customers in the EU (as ICANN has) must be compliant.
