Two posts which for me go to "technical debt" in one day: If we delay re-sync to 100 year gaps, we're postponing the burden in consequence to a future generation in a belief they will thank us for not fixing bugs between now and then. I don't entirely buy it. There are middle grounds, such as the google approach to smoooging out the time difference over a longer period. It's 2099, November, with an accumulated debt of 2-3 seconds the Hyperfrequent traders depending on clock accuracy reaching for their lawyer in 3 .. 2.. 1.. (Not to mention the inter-state timing sync issues at terabit speed networks, and which end has the right of it between clock arbitration if they are not self-clocked: there has to be a reference time somewhere and if it drifts from wall clock for humans, somebody is going to find a reason to say it hurt them) What I love is the emerging sense clocks on the moon won't be able to sustain a reliable UTC sync because of the combination of physical effects over the situation: They will need to have a local time base. I hoped Mills, NTP would fix this. Maybe not such. I don't know how this works for distant solar things, probably their clock granularity is just ignored and the positioning systems work out but the whole idea of sending a bubble of encoded RF to where somebody is going to be in the future in order to maximise signal strength...
