That's because the Earth's average rate of rotation is just a little slower than one solar revolution per day. To cause that to speed up would take a large change in the Earth's moment of inertia. For instance, due to compaction of the Earth's core, cooling of the oceans or formation of massive glaciers at the poles.
Nevertheless, our timekeeping systems are designed to have both positive and negative leap seconds.
When NTP tries to say that it is 12:34:61 and the computer only expects 1-60.
That will never happen.
Leap seconds are always asserted at UTC midnight on the last day of a month. I think the convention is only to have leap second opportunities at the end of March, June, September and December. Typically, they try to assert it at midnight December 31. It's unusual to have a mid-year leap-second.
Since the normal progression is 23:59:58, 23:59:59, 00:00:00, the extra second makes the time 23:59:60. 61 would be TWO leap seconds which won't happen any time soon. The Earth's rate of rotation would have to change by nearly two seconds in 3 months.
Assange doesn't respect anyone. He's a classic narcissist: whatever he wants is his right and whatever he thinks is right is his right and if you want to keep a secret he wants to know and report he'll get it by any legal or illegal means and he will expose it. Some people think he's a hero because he gave the finger to the USA. But that doesn't make him a hero. It just shows he's reckless and anybody who associates too closely is likely to get sucked into his vortex of stupidity.
If Adobe had given it a stable interface it could have Bern a real and useful standard. Instead, Adobe never setlled its interface which made it unmanageable to support across a variety of devices.
. Thus he is proposing instead that students are taught to never question anything told to them, no matter what that might be, or how correct or not it may be, to accept at face value everything they see, and to never make up their own mind on anything.
That approach has been wildly successful in Texas. Everybody in their political elite thinks that way.
You just can't make up this stuff, every paragraph in this PDF is Genius!!! Hilarious stuff in there...
"Knowledge-Based Education – We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) (values clarification), critical thinking skills and similar programs that are simply a relabeling of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) (mastery learning) which focus on behavior modification and have the purpose of challenging the student’s fixed beliefs and undermining parental authority."
The unemployment rate for SW engineers is still over 4%. There are people available. And if MS wants more graduates in SWEng it can afford to fund scholarships and train its own.
The H1-B visa system is bad top to bottom. It makes indentured servants of the workers and it makes companies defraud the government by claiming unique or hard to find skills are needed when they're not.
Why 15 minutes? Weren't they confident they could keep the bunnies alive indefinitely?
What happens after 15 minutes? How are the microparticles cleared from the body after the oxygen in them is used up? How fast can they be absorbed and does is it too slow for the rate at which the body uses oxygen. (I suspect that's the root of the time limit.
And if he had neither cash nor keys and was cold sober it would be grand theft auto and DUI because he could steal a car and drive it to a bar to get drunk.
Yeah then they'll explicitly forbid you to write any program whatsoever on or off company equipment and time.
Yea, and how would that be enforceable or even legal?
In the USA, you can make just about any behavior or lack thereof a condition of employment and in most states you can fire anybody for any reason or no reason.
Yes, I have an engineering degree. That might have something to do with my discomfort with vague statements that seem so common in theoretical physics. I find statements like "our reality intersects with many others" objectionable because
1. It's vague and hand-wavy.
2. It's not testable, largely because it's so vague.
3. Where do you draw the line between "realities" if there are more than one and they are not completely isolated?
We're here in this forum to discuss ideas. And a complaint that statements like "our reality intersects with many others" sound more like a science fiction novel than a description of data is a legitimate part of that discussion.
No it's not practical over significant distances. Those different polarization states (that's what they are) are nor mathematically independent so there is a lot of ISI. You can only trade higher throughput for loss of SNR. 95 BPS per Hz is impressive but it can only be done in the most tightly controlled conditions. It will never be done in anything other than point to point links with very strong signal. Moreover, OAM is a buzzword without a clearly defined physical mechanism. EM waves have frequency and polarization and phase. Their "orbital angular momentum" is some combination of these parameters so you can't increase bandwidth over what can be done using some combination of these.

I've seen systems that do that, but if it does that it's not UTC. UTC goes 23:59:58, ,23:59:59, 23:59:60, 00:00:00 when there's a leap second.

Oh yeah he would. Australia is hugely invested in the American security apparatus.
So what to do now with that money? Change strategies? Reimplement on Android? Go into another industry? Liquidate?
That doesn't hold for clothing, cars, fuel, furniture, tools...

You can if you're a Republican.
At best it's a stalling tactic. He can't go yo Ecuador because HR would have to pass through UK jusisdiction to get there.

Non sequitur. My piano also does not play dice.
There's a tool. (Permissions) for that but you have to root your phone. But many such apps refuse to run or randomly crash if you turn off the spying.

Since when?
I've never actually met a guy who thinks pretty women are intelligent.
Of course, I've never actually met a guy who would NOTICE that a pretty woman was intelligent....

The Iranians want to design a nuclear weapon. There's an app for that?
Math and computer science are not natural sciences.
So your company assumes that most of its creative employees are dishonest and that's OK with you?
Yeah with the employee discount you can buy Apple gear for only 75% more than competitive hardware.
