- urbandw311er 3y agoPlease tell me you just coined this.
- runlaszlorun 3y agoThat’s hilarious.
- kristopolous 3y agoIt's probably possible to calibrate your clock using a clear night sky and a modern cell phone camera. I bet second accuracy isn't an absurd expectation. Now it'd probably take an unreasonable amount of time to calibrate...
- crote 3y agoThat's pretty much what we already have, isn't it? True Time™ is determined by essentially averaging dozens of atomic clocks from laboratories all over the world. It doesn't really get any more "community-maintained" and "democratized" than that!
- huehehue 3y agoThe article, and this comment, makes me wonder what impact a coordinated attack on the root time-keeping mechanisms might have. It seems like there's a fair bit of redundancy / consensus, but what systems would fail? On what timeline? How would they recover?
