Did you skip over "In almost all applications of superconductors, they don't use high-temperature ones for one simple reason: Material properties."

They're saying that LHC does not use a ceramic, and therefore high-temperature, superconductor; instead they use metallic (cooled) superconductors because they can be molded.

I would love having more sun after work, but I don't know that it's worth the tradeoff of safety. On the shortest days the sun rises at 8:18am for me, so I usually start biking to work shortly after sunrise. On DST that sunrise would be 9:18am, well after my daily standup time. I'd be biking in twilight, if not nautical night. I already hate biking in the dark for safety reasons, I'd probably start driving more.

This will affect people in northern latitudes far more. For me it would be the matter of 8am vs 9am.

Not sure about the morning-person thing, but permanent DST would mean that on the shortest days the sun would rise at 9:18am rather than 8:18am. I'd rather the sun rise at 8:18am to help me wake up. I don't have kids, but if I did I'd rather them be walking to school during twilight rather than the pitch darkness of night.

I'm curious about this as well. In my market we've seen rent and child care costs go up roughly 40% in the past year. But, it may well be the people leaving higher COL areas driving up the prices here.
