Yeah, familiarity with a system often means you know which parts will be important for performance.
(Also, thinking only about asymptotic performance is a problem; O(N log N) may well be faster than O(N) for all values of N that fit in the machine's memory.)

Would additional color bands at the high end help distinguish them? I suspect it might separate SF from the rest.
CSS Selectors and XPath were built/optimized around different problems:
selectors: given an element and a set of selectors, which selectors match?
XPath: given a set of elements and an XPath expression, which elements match?

I think the biggest problem is probably mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/20…
... but see the rest of the thread.
That said, my suggestion is half tongue-in-cheek because if you turn it into something practical, you'll end up with Daylight Saving Time or something a lot like it.
Structuring my sleeping/waking schedule around sunrise makes more sense to me than structuring it around noon. I think waking up around sunrise is sensible, and having dark in the evening before bed feels normal.
Switch to sunrise-based time rather than noon-based time! (Just define 6:00am as sunrise, and some days go from 5:57 to 6:00... or 5:62 to 6:00.)

Can you identify the 4 countries (or better, cities) that these screenshots from Google Earth are showing, based on the land use, buildings, and vegetation?

This idea was part of what motivated some of my wording choices in github.com/w3ctag/design-pri… (which, for what it's worth, was written when I had a different employer).

Many people might not think that giving camera permission reveals their sexual orientation/preferences, or that giving location permission reveals their identity. A key difference is that the information that is being revealed can be clearly described in a nontechnical way.

I think saying that camera and location risks are obvious and bluetooth/USB risks are not obvious isn't quite the right distinction. There are many non-obvious risks in both.
