If you're interested in the Trump-Russia saga but find it overwhelming and hard to follow, I hope this story from me and @MarkMazzettiNYT today (special section in print) might help explain the motive, the means and the impact of Russia's historic attack nyti.ms/2Nr2Y2g

futureboy.us/fsp/moon.fsp has good data for this. 24° elevation, bearing of 146° (so 126° right of the sunset), and a picture the shape of yours... assuming San Francisco location.

Also, per timeanddate.com/sun/usa/san-… sunset yesterday in SF was at 272° and per timeanddate.com/moon/usa/san… moonrise was at 115°. So the sunset was 157° to the right of moonrise, though that angle difference would be smaller 3 hours after moonrise, but probably not by a huge amount.

3. When the moon is at some intermediate elevation (between 0° and 90°) then the threshold for this effect would increase from >90° to the right (at 90° elevation) to higher angles as the moon gets lower. Maybe it doesn't hit 180° right until 0° elevation? Not sure yet.

I think:
1. If the moon were precisely on the horizon (0° elevation), this wouldn't happen.
2. If the moon were straight above (90° elevation), you'd see this if the sun had set >90° right of where you'd aligned (and then elevated 90°) your camera, but not if <90° right

This is my 10th story in two years on managed retreat--and the first in which it's going well. Here's what I've learned. 1/ bloom.bg/2xnTs5G

Seems like there's a huge dependency on major unknowns such as:
- vertical and horizontal separation requirements for aircraft (now quite strict)
- NIMBYism over the new heliports/vertiports they propose

.@realDonaldTrump’s selective release of Carter Page’s surveillance application & other classified/sensitive materials is a desperate, dangerous & misleading attempt to undermine Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation. #FollowTheFacts democraticleader.gov/newsroo…

California professor, writer of confidential Brett Kavanaugh letter, speaks out about her allegation of sexual assault.
“I thought he might inadvertently kill me,” said Christine Blasey Ford. “He was trying to attack me and remove my clothing.”

Yeah, talk to my alibi, the guy who's written multiple books about his frat house behavior and being a black out drunk.

But the proposed directive is a ways from being final, so I wouldn't expect countries to consider these decisions until quite close to the six month deadline.
I wasn't counting them either. I'm saying things like nsDependentString should really just be constructors for nsString.

Many of the Gecko string types should really just be extra constructors for what is currently their base class.

Six months notice seems like too little for the timezone database to be patched, all operating systems to ship that update, everybody to get that update, and then complete all the recurring meetings or cross-country video meetings scheduled prior to the update.

Maybe things are better now, but I'm not optimistic, especially when multiple calendar programs are involved.
Think about recurring events. That "every Monday at 10am" meeting that you've already created could be "every Monday at 10am by the old timezone rules".

European friends, prepare for the pain of time zone rule changes announced with too little notice. See the proposed directive at the end of ec.europa.eu/commission/prio…
When the US did this in 2007, most calendar software bound timezone rules to events when the events were created.
🕒 We are proposing to end seasonal clock changes in Europe in 2019.
The last mandatory change to summertime would take place on Sunday 31 March 2019.
