Just look at a map of timezones. They aren't regular or equal divisions. It's way too late to be using longitude or relative position as an indication of timezone.
It's not a question of legal liability. Facebook doesn't want certain legal content on its service because it wants to be an attractive destination for the majority of users.
It's not for you, it's for Facebook. Unsupported Facebook doesn't want certain content on its platform, e.g. illegal images.
Policing content is very labour intensive, so they create tools to reduce the burden. Blocking known images, for example. But that still means a lot of human review, which is not only labour intensive but pretty hard on the reviewers too.
It's even worse with hate speech. They can do some simple pattern matching like "1488" but most of it is users reporting material and well beyond the ability of AI to evaluate.
Importing people is much lower cost than bringing up children. The other country invests all that time and effort into education and healthcare only for the person to leave.
It's not so bad though, because those people tend to keep ties with their original country and help it develop too.
Shame it doesn't support Chinese yet too. For us the ideal would be English, Japanese and Chinese support so we can both use it in our native and common languages.
It would be better if instead of turning the turn signal on it just warned the driver that they were turning without indicating. Otherwise people are going to start relying on it like they started to rely on autopilot, and not bothering to do it themselves or pay any attention.
A loud an annoying warning would train people to be better drivers and indicate properly. False positives would be annoying but are going to affect this system just the same.
The don't expect to sell many, these are mostly just tech demos to build to hype ahead of the 2020 Olympics that will be shot in 8k. Japan is looking to supply the world with an the tech needed to shoot, edit and broadcast 8k.
It's because of so call "black companies". The take advantage of employees and flout the relatively weak labour laws. Japan has relied on social convention rather than the force of law, so black companies abuse that to their advantage.
When people try to quit they pile on the pressure. Guilt, threats to pass on costs, lies about contracts. So using a service to help quit is a bit like hiring a lawyer, only cheaper.
In which case the company would either have to tell them not to answer emails outside of work time or accept that regular overtime rules come in to play (which affect holiday entitlement, working time regs and various other things).
In Europe there are a number of laws covering working time. Limits on working time (basically 48 hours a week maximum for most people), requirements for break times, holiday entitlement, and more general stuff about how employees can be treated while outside work.
This is designed not only to protect people from abuse and harm, but also to prevent a race to the bottom.
There are a few benefits to using these kinds of keys. I don't know about the Google one specifically but others have features like being able to act as a USB keyboard and enter very long, complex passwords for you when you press the button. There is also the speed factor, no opening an app and copying a code manually.
The down side is that these keys have no physical security. Your phone is at least lockable, but if someone takes your key there is nothing to stop them using it. Mainly a concern for people who might get targeted specifically or people at risk from law enforcement in bad countries.
Existentialism is a way of thinking about and understanding problems, but you still have to come up with the solutions on your own.
An example from Existentialism and Humanism is a French man living with his elderly mother during WW2. He has a choice, he can remain with his mother and look after her, or he can go to the UK and join the French army to try to liberate his country.
Satre points out that there isn't really anything in Christian theology to help with this situation. Both options have merit, the future is unknowable, and thus you have a genuine existential decision to make. In such a situation I'm not sure how an expert would help. What the man needs is help to make the decision himself in a way that empowers him - it's not done out of fear or for dogmatic reasons, it's humanism.
WhatsApp only does end-to-end encryption of the messages being transferred. Once a message reaches your phone it is decrypted and stored in plaintext. There are some OS level protections to stop other apps reading them, but not at the file level.
It appears they are just copying the file to Google Drive. They should add an extra layer of encryption, but they aren't really interested in that. They prioritise ease of use, which means easily restoring your messages years later when you will have long since forgotten any passwords.
They care about mass surveillance, which is what the end-to-end encryption prevents. They don't care so much about legal warrants obtaining files on your Google Drive.
There was a Christian news site that took a feed from AP, but replaced every instance of the word "gay" with "homosexual". Articles about Tyson Gay didn't make much sense, with headlines like "Homosexual eases into Olympic 100m final".
I have some sympathy for parents who want to block profanity for their kids. It's really hard to explain to children who don't understand social interaction well why they can't use certain words, especially when they see grown ups using them to great effect.

"Lengthy procedure" is code for "you made me fill out some paperwork so I'm going to punish you".
They won't screw with Facebook because Facebook has enough money to push back hard.
Well no one around here has any excuse.

Your welcome :-)

Most industrial equipment just ignores DST in my experience.

Notice how it says nothing about you having to let anyone and everyone into your private establishment and allow them to say whatever they like.
Get back to us when Facebook.gov is a thing.

Have you tried enabling Voice Match in the settings? Then it will only respond to your voice rather than random people or sounds.
You can also disable voice wake up except for in certain circumstances, like when you are in the car using Android Auto.

Typically you would have a password as well, and then re-authenticate using just the key periodically when you want to perform specific actions.
They are delusional. That place is conspiracy theory central.

It drives the cost down and gets me closer to my 8k computer monitor.
Thanks.

Why do so many people think that explaining something doesn't mean you support it or think it's a good idea?
In which case the company would either have to tell them not to answer emails outside of work time or accept that regular overtime rules come in to play (which affect holiday entitlement, working time regs and various other things).
This being Europe, if it was found that answering emails while unpaid was beneficial action would be taken to eliminate the benefit.
In Europe there are a number of laws covering working time. Limits on working time (basically 48 hours a week maximum for most people), requirements for break times, holiday entitlement, and more general stuff about how employees can be treated while outside work.
