This is rubbish. I like to ride my bike after work, which ends at 5pm. With DST I can ride all the way up to this week and still get home before dark. Please don't take this away from me, I hate it when it gets dark by 5pm.
This is completely arbitrary. We could switch to DST all year round and work 9-5, or we could switch to normal time year-round, and work 8-4. It's the same thing - you're just calling it something different.
You're right and this is the single dumbest argument I see all the time for why we need the clock switch.
It's far easier to change the local office hours for workplaces and schools during winter time as needed. For extreme northern areas, they could even move it by more than one hour. It can be their choice! Let the work hours be decided locally rather than a blanket rule for the poles and equator. Match our behavior to the daylight rather than the other way round - you know, like every other species on Earth
Public transport schedules need to be adjusted, too, and local networks often tie into regional networks, which in turn tie into the national network (where such a thing exists). Each municipality choosing its own date for switching could cause a lot of complications in that regard.
That’s what Utah plans to do but there is currently a federal law that prohibits the use of permanent DST. Utah, California, and a couple other states have asked the federal government to change that law and I believe there are plans to consider it soon.
Utah has passed a law that makes DST permanent as soon as the federal law is removed.
Edit: On further review, this seems to have died in committee.
This is the worst option. Since we started caring about time, "noon" has meant "when the sun is straight overhead". Unless there's a parallel push to change noon to 1PM (and midnight to 1AM), I'd fight that tooth and nail.
This- Even if your work allows you to set your own schedule, there many other aspects of society that don't. Schools and daycares, in particular, can dictate the schedule of parents. If you can't start off to work because the bus/dropoff isn't till 830a it doesn't matter when your office lets you come in.
Even if there aren't external factors and there is theoretically flexibility around working hours cultural norms can make it difficult. My workgroup/division seems to have a strong norm about not scheduling meetings before 930a, but scheduling from 4-5p is normal.
I was not able to cancel my subscription about 10 years ago, but I found that I could put the paper on vacation hold. I've been on vacation for all but one week a year ever since, one benefit is that I can still access the digital products all year round during my vacation.
The usual way of using this service is to have backend network configured that connects your services that is not available from outside (ie you have to traverse through services to reach it).
The so called "security" is just a paid feature for companies that want to use ElasticSearch but want to use it in "legacy" way because, presumably, they don't have people to design it correctly.
That's still really insecure, because it means that as soon as someone manages to gain any access to that network or any of the services on that network has a security issue your database is wide open.
That means that if someone manages to get access to the. I'd say public internet with proper (encrypted) password auth is more secure than that.
That's true, but there are usually multiple ways to compromise protected networks. You still need to protect the database against attacks that don't go through the app server.
