Mountain time is ambiguous due to Arizona, and yet we still use that phrase. Hawaii-Aleutian time is also ambiguous: the Aleutian islands do daylight savings, but Hawaii doesn't.

Casual speech doesn't use the city names (like America/Los_Angeles for pacific time); presumably we'd have Pacific time (America/Los_Angeles) and BC time (an update of the existing America/Vancouver). If Washington's time change ever gets approved it would presumably become simply Washington time (America/Seattle maybe?).

Preventing pasting would drastically reduce how often people cite their sources; no one wants to hand copy a long url.

Roadster launch is supposed to be on April 1st... Hard to think of any response other than "once bitten, twice shy"

I think I've been this person before, but I've also been the person that makes the meeting go on for 20 minutes longer than necessary by bringing up stuff that doesn't need to be talked about in a big meeting. I've also been the one who thought he knew enough to try and force his opinion, when actually I was just being confidently wrong and not listening to others. So there's a time and a place.

In John Adams' Harmonium, I was surprised to learn the basses go into treble clef for a second. I hadn't sung untransposed treble clef in many years! I think it was only an F#4 or A4 or something but it felt real strange to be singing in the treble clef again.

I use an addon for firefox called "Hide shorts for Youtube™". Works just fine.

I use this add-on to redirect shorts to the regular video URL. I can still watch them but I don't get the infinite scroll and algorithm pigeon-holing.

The g-code is not being distributed, because it's specific to each printer, filament, etc. G-code is not the same thing as a STP or STL file.

It would have made for a great puzzler.

The days when it was exciting to see a Tesla model S seem like a distant memory now. Elon wasn't even at Tesla when they started the model S design. The US EV tax credit had not begun, and Obama was still just the junior senator from Illinois.

> Elon wasn't even at Tesla when they started the model S design.

Do you have a source on this? According to Wikipedia, Elon became chairman of the board, 8 months after the company was incorporated, in 2004. The Roadster project started in 2005. The Model S era it says started in 2010, with production starting in 2012.

For all intents and purposes, Elon was there the whole time, for everything that mattered. At least as far as I can tell by this timeline.

My faulty memory is the only source - looks like I was remembering that he became CEO in 2008. The Wikipedia article for the model S says they began design in 2007.
