I test a lot of smartphones each year, and it’s easy to get into a rut by using the same apps repeatedly. I’ll install all the usual suspects without branching out and taking advantage of niche apps designed to solve problems. I decided to switch things up over the weekend. I was out with my wife and daughter and decided …

UPPER GREEN RIVER — Here at the start of elk season, an evangelist for a new way of computing is pushing the limits of what it means to work remotely in Wyoming.  Tristan Scott is camped in one of the most remote reaches of the Upper Green River drainage about an hour’s drive over challenging jeep roads north of Cora. Scott …

An anonymous reader shares a report: In a preprint titled “Can LIGO Detect Daylight Savings Time?,” Reed Essick, former LIGO member and now a physicist at the University of Toronto, gives a simple answer to the paper’s title: “Yes, it can.” The paper, which has yet to be peer-reviewed, was recently uploaded to arXiv. That might seem like an odd …

Tracking gravitational waves—invisible ripples in space-time from intense astronomical events—pushes the limits of what astronomers must do to reduce unwanted noise. Scientists have been getting increasingly better at doing just that, but new research warns that something rather unexpected might be getting in the way: daylight savings time. In a preprint titled “Can LIGO Detect Daylight Savings Time?,” Reed Essick, …

Daylight saving time, that yearly yawn-a-thon that kicks in each spring, may not just affect our bodies temporarily. New evidence suggests that winding our clocks forward in spring and backward in autumn is taking a toll on some aspects of our long-term health. It’s not just the clock on the wall that has to change twice a year with this …

Abandoning the biannual switch to daylight saving time could prevent more than 300,000 strokes and slash over 2 million obesity cases a year, a new model using data from over 300 million Americans suggests. Adopting permanent standard time (ST) takes less toll on our circadian rhythm — the body’s rough 24-hour pacemaker — than daylight saving time (DST) or flicking …
