Think of all the Russian jobs spreading misinformation on Tik Tok that will be lost!
Better question: Will the world rejoice in having a social media network without Americans?
We could keep the 0 hour as the “middle” of the night and 12 being the “middle” of the day (though I’m not sure if that’s really the sun’s high spot for the day for any places).
But with fully controlled mirrors, we could make it exactly 12 hours, so we could just then switch to the 0 hour being when the sun comes up.
It’s pretty simple, actually. A village somewhere in Europe that is completely in the shade all day for part of the year has already proven it.
Mirrors.
We just need a ring of motorized mirrors around the Earth.
At hour 0, the mirrors will rotate to show sun all across the entire Earth.
At hour 12, the mirrors will rotate to put all of the Earth into night time.
That lets the entire Earth have the exact same synchronized time synchronized with the daylight.
The mirrors will block the sun from parts of the earth facing during the night.
The mirrors will constantly be rotating to keep the proper amount of sun light facing each part of Earth as the Earth rotates.
The mirrors will be solar powered.
This will fix it, right?
It’s worked for Windows?
You should charge a restocking fee.
Interesting about moving towards consciousness being deterministic.
(I haven’t been keeping up with that)
Thanks for adding the extra info (not sarcasm)
True.
That’s why consciousness is “magical,” still. If neurons ultra-basically do IF logic, how does that become consciousness?
And the same with memory. It can seem to boil down to one memory cell reacting to a specific input. So the idea is called “the grandmother cell.” Is there just 1 cell that holds the memory of your grandmother? If that one cell gets damaged/dies, do you lose memory of your grandmother?
And ultimately, if thinking is just IF logic, does that mean every decision and thought is predetermined and can be computed, given a big enough computer and the all the exact starting values?
I don’t want to look at my ass all day.
Elephants do throw loose dirt on themselves. It was either to help reduce the sun rays, or to help keep mosquitoes off - sorry I can’t remember.
Ran into this. Was constantly denied time to properly load test and configure things. So it all went in with default values and high resources. Then they got the bill, throttled everything down, and then normal compute processing was missing SLAs measured in half-days.
But look on the bright side. Every minute of the day programmers were typing, creating value, instead of wasting company money reading or thinking.
Skill, but mostly due to the company not investing in the time to train to do it right. The company just wants to start next week by saying “flip the cloud switch” and immediately see their costs go down, without any outages and without putting in due diligence.
And sometimes the CEO/CIO/manger is too busy to coordinate training because the decision maker is busy on their “cloud provider training” for only them, in a Swiss Alps super swanky spa and resort.
Specing out server is a real pain. (not sarcasm)
Kind Sir, please never drop a platypus. I thank you kindly.

I’m doing my part!
