Have you tried asking AI?

You can avoid most of the paint by just ignoring DST. Don't change you clocks. Helps if your work is flexible about hours, but you can always move some evening stuff to the morning and vise versa.

Try it, you will find that it's no real effort to remember everyone else's clocks are off by an hour.

Look at Nepal, in the UTC+05:45 timezone. They aren't even the only ones who like to break technology with their non-whole-hour timezone.

The world seems to be moving towards trying to simplify time a bit, e.g. by discontinuing leap seconds. Personally I'd start a project to build a booster large enough to correct the Earth's orbit of the sun to a nice round 256 days, but since there doesn't seem to be much support for that at least we can stop bothering with DST.

You make it sound like not having DST is terrible, but most of the world doesn't bother with it.

It's basically Europe, the US, and a few random others including half of Australia for some reason. Everyone else gets by just fine without DST, and much of the world gave it up when they stopped being colonies.

Maybe it's time to think about the hours we do things in general. For example, in Japan most shops don't open until 10 or 11 AM, and stay open until 7-8 PM. That gives people the opportunity to visit them after work or school. Schools and employers set opening times based on local conditions, because there are vast differences between northern and southern climates. It turns out that everyone doing what makes sense for them works just fine.

With things line linear TV and radio becoming less relevant, times also matter less. It's a good thing, it gives us flexibility.

Just because everyone was operating on the assumption that high energy cosmic neutrinos exist doesn't mean that it isn't worth proving that beyond all doubt. It wouldn't be the first time if the results was unexpected, or if it turned out a whole load of accepted physics were based on a faulty assumption.

It's okay it's /. The editor will repost at least five times a year even without clock changes.

They've been doing this bullshit since the '70s and it always works. People hear it and think yeah fuck the manager is right?

I figured out the scam a while ago. The original purpose of management was to keep an eye on unions and prevent employees from unionizing. Seriously Google it.

America doesn't really have unions anymore so we don't really have management anymore. What you have are basically a handful of people to implement policy and then you have a shitload of line workers declared management for a variety of unpleasant reasons ranging from managers being exempt from overtime pay to using the manager title to get a lot more work out of someone for very little additional pay if any...

And every time it's layoff time they can jettison these "managers" and tell everyone they're just flattening the organization and making things more efficient so nobody starts poking around asking if the company is viable and if they should be selling off the stock.

It's also a very effective way to fire old people without getting sued for age discrimination. IBM fucking loves doing that and if you actually look at the history of their layoffs it's almost entirely age discrimination pretending to be efficiency

I am so tired of seeing the same fucking tricks work over and over and over again.

VMware didn't do this in a vacuum. If they raise the prices that much it's because they have solid numbers that clearly indicate that their customers don't have anywhere to go.

I'm not a admin so I don't actually run my own VMs but from talking to other admins there is nobody who has tools for doing the kind of deployments you need to do in a large Enterprise except for VMware. I mean the tools exist but you're going to spend so much money paying people to monkey around with them you might as well just paid VMware.

There is a video from a YouTuber called Linus tech tips. His actual tech tips tend to be pretty shit but he does have one good video where he spent a few weeks trying to get all the people in his business off Adobe software and quickly found that yes he could do it but the man hours and the pay he had to spend doing it exceeded the cost of the licenses.

That's what Big Data gets you. You know exactly how much you can screw everybody over. You leave absolutely nothing on the table. Basically a giant fuck you to Leviticus 19:10.

If we don't let the AI bros and finance Bros do whatever they want the Chinese will win! And their communists! Communists I say communists!

They won't get better deals. These data centers are basically an apocalypse. I mentioned it on another post but they completely wreck your property values, they spike your water at electricity bills and they can use so much water that they start affecting groundwater and even your foundation because they pump too much water out of the ground. They also spew fumes everywhere from diesel generators because no matter how much power they get it's never enough. Especially in a rural community that doesn't have good wiring. And nobody's going to pay for that kind of infrastructure we stopped building infrastructure in the mid 80s.

The voters are correctly assessing the threat they just can't do anything about it because like I mentioned they spent 50 years dismantling democracy to stick it to the libs. You can't really do that. You can't get rid of democracy for somebody else and keep it for yourself democracy is a All or nothing proposition

So far so good? Surely the camera must have given this cop an image of the car that he could see was the wrong colour. It should never have got as far as her apartment.

Huawei was targeted because it was an R&D powerhouse, and all it did was make them redouble their efforts. Sanctions can't do much about patents because if they tried, it would just make other countries invalidate US patents in response.
