  • Sleep as Android!

    You can make it device administrator and additionally add a max snooze count and a dismissal CAPTCHA. When I REALLY have to get up no matter what, I need to go physically touch my phone to an NFC tag in the living room. Can’t even turn the phone off because it blocks that when ringing when given admin access.



  • This is questionably accurate.

    It’s not just a matter of building the rail, it’s also redesigning the urban sprawl. That’s a LOT of new construction of buildings needed, too. That comes with new utilities, etc. And cement is a huge carbon source.

    There is a time scale over which that’s more carbon efficient than replacing all personal vehicles and their replacement lifecycles, but it’s very unclear if that’s actually faster with regards to climate change timelines.








  • Seriously, though - those studies are horrible, mostly because human research has shit controls.

    Like, no shit that going to bed early and rising early makes you healthier and more productive in a society where type A personalities rule the world and operate on a 9-5. You either get the dregs of work, or you drag yourself out against your natural schedule to fit theirs. You’re constantly tired and that has well demonstrated effects on health. Support systems also work on 9-5, so you’re still screwed.

    For anything they say to be valid, they’d need a control society run by 4p-12a work hours, so you could go to bed at 2-4a and get a full 8 hours and a relaxed morning ramp up like all those type As do today; then they’d have to demonstrate that the type As still did better in this control society.

    FFS, to do financially well you need to be an early riser on East Coast time! To line up with the stock market! If the stock market ran 3-12 PST, how do you think those New York early birds would do with a 230am bad news dump? They’d be hours behind the Pacific night owls who could execute trades when they’re coherent and focused and would make more money on those trades.

    All they currently show is “lining up with the ruling sleep schedule is easier on your life”.
