Comment if it was about mental health we would shift time (Score 1) 282

If it was about health outcome, we would shift our time to adapt to the sun. But we don't we have, for example, 8h-17h always , winter and summer. That's what is unhealthy - our biology is adapted to do our activity with sun rise/sun set - not with a fix time DST or not does not change that much.

Comment There are measurement you can do to verify that. (Score 3, Informative) 17

Quiet a few astronomical observation on very distant galaxy (so ancient light) shows that some of the fine structure constant did not change with time, or changed less than 10^-5 of its value (https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Farxiv.org%2Fabs%2Fastro-ph%2F9803165), maybe somebody has a more recent article on whether that alpha change was confirmed or not.

Comment They want to disallow china AI model (Score 2) 105

They are not trying to protect you or anybody. The idea IMO in those dire warning are:
1) make a lot of noise and dire warning
2) get congress to pass the "responsible AI act (TM)" which will only allow "responsible model"
3) Only the local US grown model are declared "responsible model"
4) China and other country are naturally excluded
5) ask politician to put sanction on those who use "irresponsible model"
6) profit.

Comment Should be GPLd (Score 1) 162

This isn't moral. Ubuntu owes the GNU project far too much to replace GNU tools like this, and it's going to come back to bite them later, when they start losing the protection that the GPL gives. (For example, just imagine how much better Android would have been if its core were GPL, and how much worse Chrome could be getting if it wasn't).

For now:

apt install busybox-static #In case you mess up.
apt remove coreutils-from-uutils --allow-remove-essential
apt install coreutils-from-gnu #should have happened automatically.

Comment Define Crypto as counterfeit - and solve the issue (Score 1) 82

I think we could solve the issue in a single line.
"All Cryptocurrency is hereby defined to be a counterfeit of real currency".
Then we can get rid of the scams, the lies, the dodgy donations, the pump-n-dump, the fraud, the emissions... let's just kill it.

Comment that's not what union are (Score 1) 122

"A labor union wants to be, and often is, the exclusive provider (that is, seller) of labor to a company or industry. "

Labor Union do not provide exclusively labor to companies. What they do is have the power of collective bargaining, job protection, safety - which is utterly different to being "exclusive provider of job".
You may confusing normal labor union, with hiring hall union (e.g. in construction/actors/voice actor). That is a widely different type of union. Most union are NOT hiring hall union.

Feel free to correct me.

"The UK may not regulate US entities without the consent of the US government"

The UK can wholly regulate US entity doing commerce in the UK on what they can or cannot do while selling to UK citizen, and their modality of information being saved UK data information for later access in UK.

And the US government can do diddly squat on that except trying political pressure (thus the article), and the company can go out of the UK market if they don't like the modality of it. Which in this case they did not, they agreed to remove some encryption instead, while probably going to thug the dick of the politician they donate to, and whine ask them to do something.
