  • Solar clocks are consistent during the year because noon is always at local noon. They just stop telling time effectively early or later depending on the season (i.e. how long the sun is shining). You just measure time around noon and you are always accurate to local time (even the modern era navy did this). It only matters if you need to synchronize time from very far away, which ancient people didn’t really need to do do.











  • Steam is a great example of how a privately held company can out compete publicly traded and venture capital funded corps.

    It can take greater risks and can fund initiatives that won’t pay out within the current quarter. The steam deck is a great example of that. A device that no other corporation thought that we wanted and that required like a decade of working with open source linux projects to make happen, that isn’t something that EA would have been able to manage.
