of which low latitudes should not use DST.

No latitude should use DST.

No latitude should use DST.

I have used to DST when looking sunrise and sunset times. In Helsinki sunrise and sunset at 3:54/22:50 looks more normal than its DST-less equivalent 2:54/21:50. But DST is not good for Miami's latitude (25 degrees north).

Stop it.

... latest sunrise actually happens on day before DST ends ...

That's the point of DST. To move sunrise and sunset later on the clock.

I'm not going to get into the banned topic of whether that's a good idea or not.

Dang I didn't think LA would be on top of the list for most dense city in the US. But I was going to guess New York and Chicago to be in the top 3 for urban density before San Francisco and San Jose the way the video was going.

Might as well have said, "I screwed with the stats until they came up with a YouTube-able result."

In Fairbanks in every summer, are street lamps off 24/7 every day due to long (22 hours) daylight?

Fairbanks is only 4 degrees further north than Helsinki. Are street lights in Finland turned off 24/7 in the summer?

Not in Helsinki, but in Kuopio (slightly under 2 degrees further north than Helsinki) and Oulu (about 10 degree minutes further north than Fairbanks), which neither have midnight sun and see at least some twilight every night. Of course, in cities that see midnight sun (such as Inuvik in North America and Tromso and Rovaniemi in Europe), lamps are off 24/7. In contrast, are street lamps on 24/7 in cities that see polar night near winter solstice? Does that happen in Inuvik?

You just said it does.

If you think Google Maps has an error off the coast of Nova Scotia (it looks like they forgot a gap in the ocean), remember this island exists.
