It would take thousands of years for UTC-without-leaps to shift an just an hour. Our timezones are often wider than an hour.

If you really need a 'solar-ish' time, you could also define a fixed function correction for UTC->'solar' and then extend that thousands of years by an order of magnitude. (Sadly the SI second is somewhat far off from the 1/86400th of a solar day, so a big portion of the correction caused by leapseconds is just this predictable portion of the difference).

> If you think it shouldn’t then measure time differently, for example as seconds since a certain instant

Plenty of stuff would love to do that, but we distribute UTC. To get back to "time from an instant" given UTC you have to know about and correctly and consistently handle leapseconds. It's quite tricky, because when an interface hands you UTC you don't know if the latest leapsecond has been processed in it. It's getting even harder recently because the widespready distributed systems failures caused by leapseconds are causing some people to deploy varrious kinds of "leap smear" which smears out leapseconds over some number of hours. Interfaces that are supposed to return UTC now sometimes return leapsmeared UTC with some unknowable choice of smearing scheme.

Arguably the root issue is that we've based out computer timekeeping hierarchy on UTC instead of TAI (or GPS time or whatever non-leaping thing). Had we based everything on atomic time and handled 'UTC' as a presentation layer thing like timezones are normally handled things would work much better. Unfortunately that ship has really sailed. Fortunately, if leap seconds are just not issued essentially everything keeps working without issue for hundreds if not thousands of years.
This article makes the claim that the calculation of elapsed time is impacted by leap seconds, to the extent that the following value of “elapsed” may even be negative:

t0 = time.now()
/* do stuff */
t1 = time.now()
elapsed = t1 - t0

This is not correct. Leap seconds are only the concern of how to render time in a human readable way. System time itself always passes one second at a time, and calls to time.now() interspersed with sleep(1) will always go up by one second at a time. It’s just that at some times of year we render that as 23:59:60 and some times we don’t.

But perhaps clock smearing is genuinely changing the way systems measure time, as opposed to smearing how the system renders t=1658818054.0 as hours, minutes and seconds? That seems implausibly incorrect. Lining up the minute hand with the noonday sun on one particular part of the planet should not possibly have any impact on measuring how long it takes to compile my code.
> It's only "anonymous until use". If you transfer some amount to me, I can then retroactively find its source, and likely find a good deal of information about you and the other wallets you've used.

How is that? Let's say I go to PornHub and purchase premium (which is only purchasable with crypto). Assume tor usage to not have to worry about any kind of side channel identity leak. How could PornHub know who I am? At most, if the person who sold me the crypto face to face messed up and the address he used to send me the coins becomes identified, PornHub could assume

A) This is another address of his

or

B) This is the address of someone he conducted business with

Either way you would need to personally inquire him to leak my identity, in case he even knows it.

And this is assuming a trivial case without the use of mixers and so on.

Ideally you would want your wallet software to automatically handle all this stuff, and automatically clean your coins for you, generate new addresses, etc without you even knowing.

I'm really confused by the common complaint in this thread about the arrogance of programmers wanting to change time for everyone else to make it simpler for themselves.

No, in today's world time is a programmers' problem. Nobody except programmers (and some very technical software product managers, e.g. astronomers) needs to deal with time issues like these.

Who builds systems that need to be synchronized to the microsecond level or more? Programmers. Who makes calendar software that should support timezones and DST correctly? Programmers. Who runs astronomy calculations that really care about UT1? Programmers working for astronomers.

Every time someone has an issue that requires very delicate handling of time, there is a programmer implementing the solution.

So of course it would be a group of the largest software companies, responsible for software like Outlook and GCal and public clouds, who would get together to say "listen, world, this leap second thing is more trouble than it's worth, how about we just stop fiddling with it?" They're the people responsible for implementing everyone else's time handling requirements. I think we should listen to them.

Another confusing argument here is "let them just move from UTC to TAI, and thus move leap seconds to be a display issue, like timezone best practice".

In a vacuum, this could have been a great solution. But we live in a world where almost all computer software already written is based on UNIX Epoch Time, which is defined as tweakable by the leap second committee, and the breakage usually occurs either in existing software or in sync issues between new software written at Meta or MS or wherever and existing software, so moving all their centrally managed systems to TAI while leaving us programmers of the less hierarchical outside world to keep suffering wouldn't solve much, and also wouldn't be very nice.

Kind of an https://xkcd.com/927 situation.

Instead, they're writing a letter saying "dear leap second committee, we are your largest users and our use case is representative of everyone else's, can you please stop fiddling with the standard agreed time, it's causing problems for everyone. You can get the same effect by twiddling with display time (timezones), which we already have to support anyway and is much easier to test."

My favorite design principle is the Representable/Valid principle: your representation/model of the world should have one way to represent each valid state, and should not have ways to represent invalid states. Lets get together as a species and refactor our model of time to have one less case of two states having the same representation!

I for one welcome our new monotonic timelords.

While I agree with you on a fundamental level, this social contract is currently in the process of being eroded. A household with 60k gross income is part of the top 20% in terms of income. In a lot of parts in Germany today, this is insufficient to accumulate property if you want to have kids.

Pensioners are taking an ever bigger cut of the cake, both due to their rising numbers, but also relatively speaking. As a relatively young person with a good salary, it becomes ever more attractive to just emigrate, and this will lead to a pretty bad cycle Germany is ill-prepared to deal with.

> Humans sleep, usually at night time

This seems like a kind of navel gazing point, however-- without leapseconds it would take on the order of 4000 years to slip an hour, quite a big longer so that nights hours aren't aren't at night.

We already have a good mechenism for matching local sun time-- timezones.

I don't see anyting in your post to justify one second level offsets.

My experience with young children and college student is different than yours. We stereotype young children as being dumb and naive, but starting around 3rd or 4th grade, they're pretty smart. They just know less. It's around teenage years that they become arrogant and impressionable. Woke started as a college student phenomenon. The way you continue to develop critical thinking skills is by having those difficult discussions.

But that's beside the point.

If you want smart, competent, thoughtful teachers, we need to start giving room for people who are smart, competent, and thoughtful in the profession. Most of the teachers in my local school district are idiots, and that's in part because of how the district treats them. I'd love to teach, but not there.

What happens when teachers indoctrinate students? That's already happening. School districts are grounded in municipal politics, and my local curriculum is grounded in ideology and doctrine. Teachers don't want to diverge from that, but if they wanted to, they couldn't. It's not clear top-down indoctrination is any better than bottom-up. In other words, I'm not sure your proposed solution addresses the problem.

> get 1 USD wage as CEO and remainder in stock, for example

This is usually not possible. In Denmark you are taxed the same whether you receive your payment in stock or money. When you receive stock, you are taxed on the value of the stock at receive time -- obviously this is awful for receiving grants in a startup where the paper value is high, the stock is iliquid and the risk is substantial.

I think where the rich really benefits are the equity line of credit (ELOCs), where they effectively move money around without generating taxable events -- usually for very small interest payments.
> You just described the benefits of a cash transaction.

Nobody is denying cash is good. But cash relies on the government issuing it, can't be sent through the internet, can't be transported across borders easily, or in large quantities, can be physically seized, etc.

> If the government is your adversary in this scenario what's stopping them...

Yeah and what's stopping them from throwing you in jail? Or just killing you?

I'm assuming an intermediate point here, in which the government isn't either fully libertarian/anarchist, neither fully authoritarian. Which is what most "free" countries are like nowadays.

If the government is fully authoritarian and you're an "adversary" you're fucked.

I mean yes but its not the only selling point of Neos. In the difference you have stuff like:

- real time world creation and collaboration while being in game (no external unity editor) including a node scripting system

- user hosting session (instead of full server hosting) at the cost of the user

- inventory system from which you can save/spawn from any world (this actually have a limit in size, 1Gb for the free account)

- mods are well more accepted (maybe for now because it could change like we see with vrc)
and more that i forgot.

Note: I'm a regular Neos user, I'm not trying to sell the game there is stuff who are annoying (like the game is not really optimized compared to vrc).

And for the subject of crypto the community is actually really divided about it while is not really useful for now...

Another example is the original Star Trek cast. We love them, but let's be honest - they are C list actors. They complained that ST had ruined their careers because they were typecast. Nimoy even wrote a book "I Am Not Spock".

In 2D, you can build a grid of straight line railways. Riders transfer zero or one times. Cost scales proportionally to area (and hence population) assuming constant density. Time between two random points scales as sqrt(size). Ridership on a given rail segment scales like sqrt(size), which may be tolerable.

In 1D, you can build a linear railway. Cost scales proportionally to length (and hence population) if you assume that the the railway merely needs to get longer as population grows, but this gives a system where ridership on a given rail segment scales linearly with population, which is much worse. Time between two random points also scales linearly with population. The added costs associated with improving performance given the worse scaling seem likely to blow the whole thing up.

Windows security models and policies are the enemy, not remote attestation (RA).

RA is a technology that has its fair use, and can be desired for other systems, like in Linux. With a pure RA system your services can decide to trust or not those devices on your network that can be compromised, and report to other devices that there is something suspicious.

As anything, this can be used properly to increase the security of your edge architecture, or wrongly to limit the users actions.

Let me put another example. With RA I should be able to authorize validated systems in my R&D VPN. If you are using your own laptop with the company certificate, and the verifier tag the systems as "unknown" or "unhealthy", it will not allow the access to the internal network, but sure you can still use your laptop for anything else. This, IMHO, is a fair use of this technology.
