Of course, you are right.

I mean, the punishment was the occupation by forces which won the war. Americans and Russians had to control Germany for some time, as their current government could not continue for obvious reasons. The cruel part was giving control of half of the country to Soviets. BTW, worse was doing the same to Poland, which was victim, not the aggressor in this war, and other countries in similar situation.

But Germany were the baddies in WW2 and this was a part of their (cruel) punishment. How did Ukraine deserve this?

Or, maybe, USA and Russia want to get half of Ukraine each, for free?

We do have a successful bus manufacturer (Solaris). Does this count? We also have lots of car parts industry here.

Amazon already makes money on many products that should not be sold, as are fake or/and dangerous. They will still be making money by selling smuggled good. ‘It is not us, it is the independent seller. We just provide a platform. Will still work.’

Most of the time, yes, but not always. Sometimes you actually need local time stored rather than UTC. Simple example: alarm clock. User wants to be waken up at 7:00. No matter if it is summer time or winter time. Even if they travels to a different time zone - still will want to be waken up in the morning. If we store this time as UTC much more unnecessary and error-prone conversions will be needed. Similar issues may arise with other calendar events. Of course, at some point this will be converted to UTC for comparison with actual point in time.

There are lots of systems (embedded, mostly offline, abandoned by its vendor) which are not easily upgradeable and their timezone database cannot be easily replaced. Not everything is a PC getting its regular software update.
