    There is a lot of remote equipment that can't be remotely powered on or reconfigured after a full shutdown. Imagine a Y junction switch that can take switch between the power from 2 plants into a local city grid. The switch's con

    Leap seconds aren't a precision issue unless you need to calculate time delta's between events.

    Most of us don't need to hope for the best because leap seconds won't trigger bugs in our applications. In my work, I deal with dates and times, but a leap second would have no consequence. A negative leap second would be interes

    My Fortune 500 company has to pay a third party to pay for Google Maps, because we can't pay a supplier with a credit card. If we can't find a way to pay Google, there is no hope for some random developer in Nebraska.
