System calls should not return a representation of time, they should return a valid time stamp that can then be interpreted by the UI layer according to user settings.
Leap second support has been in Linux and other Unix systems forever. The problem is the many standards on how to implement leap seconds. They are generally a representational problem, not a counting problem. It’s similar to time zones, they are arbitrarily defined and thus not very useful for true mathematical implementation. Microsoft has picked one of the dozen or so standards on how to represent leap seconds. The fact is that you should pick whatever method is suitable and useful for interoperation with the rest of stuff you have.
First of all, we didn’t establish anything. You asserted and I hold that your assertion is legally wrong. Facebook’s TOSs have nothing to do with this. They are null and void if they do not conform to all legal standards including those that designate what happens to your stuff after you die.
You own the posts on Facebook since you own the copyright to them, you give Facebook an unlimited right to reproduce them but Facebook at no point “owns” and it is very dubious to think they would want to own (and as a result hold responsibility for) your posts.
When you die, legal agreements don’t just vanish because you or the other party designated them to, whether they are in writing or orally or by practice established. Both assets, debts and property continue to exist with your estate until they are distributed to your heirs. The issue of death is just another life event like you getting married or being born, it has the same legal meaning as being incapacitated due to medical reasons, those you designated take care of you and your stuff until you get better which in this case you never do. Otherwise everyone going into a coma would have their Facebook cancelled in your world.
The entire EU is like that and Denmark by no means has the highest taxes. The Norse have it good because of natural resources despite their social policies. A bit like Saudi Arabia and other such places. With good investments and diversifying their future (like the Emirates and Norway are doing) their population can enjoy socialized (in one way or another) governments. Places that waste that potential (eg Venezuela and the USA) are worse off.
Or perhaps because local retailers were dumb and thought "this Internet thing will blow over" or "people will always love coming to brick and mortar stores" and then did anti-customer shit like refusing to set up working websites or (in cases of fast food, book stores and coffee places) providing WiFi.
The problem is not necessarily failure, it's the economics.
Even though they still keep working to some extent (many panels don't btw, cell failures cascade), new models are smaller and more efficient. Installing and keeping new ones running is often easier, cheaper and more effective especially when subsidies are involved. Maintenance does not get subsidies so you can put up more capacity for practically free or you have to pay big bucks to replace your old stuff. Even if it still produces (some) energy, the ancillary costs (insurance, security, property taxes etc) it is not worth it to keep it running.
It's not quite that simple. In order to be cost efficient, wind turbines are practically a one-piece black box. To do extensive repairs you practically have to take it down or replace large parts of it.
Wind turbines, like solar panels are a unit that's only somewhat cost effective if you don't ever have to maintain, recycle or replace them.
Yes, in this case, the executors are the parents. In most cases (in most Western law), unless there is a will, the inheritors become the executors of the estate.
Obviously they are not landlords, landlords are also not custodians. Landlords have no duty to keep any of your property when you fail to pay the rent for a period of time (dependent on jurisdiction and contracts). But if you die and as long as your estate pays the 'bill' (whether the bill is $0 or $10,000/month), they are the proper inheritors and owners of whatever it is you have in there.
Facebooks terms of service have nothing to do with it. Yes, they provide a service for a certain fee (again, courts don't care whether it's free or not), and as long as you pay that fee and don't violate the terms or become inactive, the service remains on and available where You = your estate/inheritors after you die.
I don't think Facebook wants to become the guardian of anyone's data, that my friend is an entirely different legal construction and they would have to take on that role before the person dies.
The parents are the guardian of the child while its alive or when its dead, your successors become in a sense the guardians of your 'stuff' (whether that is documents, electronic, bank accounts, property) when you die.
They do have the right to shut off your account for any reason and delete everything in it, that however doesn't change the fact that when you die, whatever you 'own' on Facebook gets transferred to your estate. Your successors have the same rights you have, your successors have the same rights to your 'stuff' after you die as if they were you.
I don't necessarily agree, the only thing that has changed is the medium. It's like going from papyrus and quills to paper and pens to typewriters to computers, doesn't make the 'thing you're doing' (communication) any different.
Then both the sender and receiver should make it so. Eg. encrypt the communication or specify in a will what to do with the 'stuff'. In most countries, an executor of the will has to follow those guidelines.
The inheritors basically get full rights over your account, including control over those switches, unless you have specified in your will otherwise (which a minor in this case cannot do unless declared an adult by a court which depends on age, competence of the minor, circumstance and jurisdiction).
Just because a landlord (in this case FaceBook) thinks your property should be private doesn't make it so after you die, they do not get to make the decision whether your papers are to be shared with your heirs.
Once you open them up it's much like a computer, things don't fit in the wrong places and forcing it usually results in death. Occasionally you do get the "who the hell put this together".
Yes, that's true, the difference is how the gains are distributed. If the gains funnel to the top regardless of risk, it's a Ponzi scheme. If the gains funnel to a random single person or very small group, then it's a gamble, if the gains (rewards) and losses (risks) are equally distributed according to the funds they put in the "pot" then it's an investment.
- The laser module - sure it exists but it is going to be big and need water cooling if it's going to be of any use - The weight - the module itself for a 500W laser comes in ~5kg. Even if they somehow got the module to fit in the 6kg they claim it weighs, the batteries and watercooling will pack on an additional 6-10kg. - The power requirements ~0.3 kWh (not accounting for losses from water cooling and other gear), that requires a small motorcycle battery, even if made from Lithium, not something you easily carry around in a 6kg package.
The goal is to get in early and out on time. It's pretty much like the stock market, you pick one company and hope it does better before you sell out at peak performance.
At 75k you should be pretty well off. Compare your lifestyle with that of your fathers. How much debt did they get into, how nice was the car they drove in, how often did they go out to eat, did they have 2 laptops, tablets, cable, Internet and cell phones (all of which existed in 1985).
With cancer specifically it's also the fact that cancer happens so often and is such a broad disease that you can link pretty much everything to it.
Drink too much wine or too little wine has some correlation with some form of cancer. These studies are generally too small to make accurate statements against and you can P-hack anything to increase or decrease your cancer risk and populations can often not be compared across studies because they collect different data or use different tools.
You would have to do standardized multi-site, multi-year studies which requires an enormous budget.
You're conflating Islam teachings with Arabian progress. True, they were conquering large swaths of land and were world leaders in science and maths in the western Dark/Middle Ages but that ended when conservative Islam became the state religion.

You could use GPS or atomic clocks for your computer. A bit more expensive than the crystal but if you need it...

I plan on starting ~10,000 Kickstarter projects with a goal of $1.

Those are rentals. They are not purchases.

I don't think you understand the definition of "rhetorical"
