Under this new legislation you'll be able to fix it yourself.

Whether we adopt permanent standard time or permanent DST, over time behaviours will adapt to have 'start of day' and 'end of day' where people find them comfortable, just with a different number on the clock. But that does take time for behaviours to adapt and in the meantime it isn't insane to suggest that issues could arise.

I agree it's weird wording but I would guess they mean that the rights apply to individual customers not to companies i.e. If Bill Gates bought a defective product for personal use then he could sue on this basis but if Microsoft bought the product then they couldn't - they'd have to rely on whatever contractual terms they entered into.

I suppose the buyer wasn't prepared to part with any precious cryptocoins so the seller will have to accept worthless dollars instead. They really should have offered something more valuable than the company e.g. an NFT of the company.

The US definitely recognises the ICJ, has brought cases before it (e.g. Treatment in Hungary of Aircraft and Crew of the United States), votes on the appointment of judges to it (as a member of the security council) and has a judge on it (Sarah Cleveland) . You may be thinking of the International Criminal Court (ICC), which the US is not a member of and consequetly doesn't submit to its jurisdiction- though that isn't really the same as saying that the US doesn't recognise it.

I don't follow celebrity culture so I don't even know who Evan Apple is and I definitely don't care what he has to say about this. He should stick to his rapping or whatever.

Which would be enough if all they wanted to do was to sell phones to themselves but if they want to sell to the public then saying "well we've got Bing" is hardly a selling point.

That doesn't distinguish between professionally made and user-generated content at all, and doesn't appear to try to. I could make a site purely and only for professionally made porn and not upload any of it myself (perhaps providing a cut of revenues to the companies who do produce and post it or maybe charging them a fee for limited clips as a form of advertising) and not be covered by that wording.

Because that's absolutely fine. Libeling a compeitor - i.e. spreading utruths about them - is a problem, and does happen, but providing truthful information about a competitor's flaws is entirely positive. Why would you object to it?

The aim of many people conversing with it will be to easily steer it into producing harmful output. So we'll see which criteria wins.

Yes - another great compromise. Though I do wonder if we could change the definition of a second further so it's dependent on the time of year and both gradually eliminates the hour for the first six months and then gradually adds it back over the next six months.

Those who don't want to change their clocks won't have to change their clocks, those that want to get up earlier in the summer while pretending it's the same time as in the winter get to do that, the developers who have to code for it get an interesting challenge and those who like to complain about the insanity of it all still get to do that too. Win-win-win-win!

That's actually a really interesting way of looking at it - we just need to find a way to suit both the thrill seekers who want the excitement of time changes and those who prefer stability.

A compromise along these lines would be to switch clocks by 12 hours twice each year so noon becomes midnight and midnight becomes noon. For those who want the excitement of changing time patterns, they can 'opt in' by using a 24 hour clock display and get a much more radical change than at present. Nevermind 'more light in the evening', people can have more light all through the night!

Meanwhile the fuddy-duddies who want to stick with the boring humdrum of sanity can use 12 hour clocks and not make any change at all.
