By design, yes. But I've manually reset the time forwards or backwards by many minutes on a few systems (using the date command). And I can't recall breaking anything. A few apps have raised warnings about objects being in the future, but nothing that a click on 'Continue Anyway' didn't fix. I guess I just don't use shitty apps.
Unix time would be monotonically increasing and equivalent to TAI or GPS time with an integer seconds offset. Simple. Exact.
Not a bad idea. But you still have to account for system clocks that drift. And need to be bumped a few seconds one way or the other periodically. If my correcting the system clock occasionally (either manually or via a cron job from an NTP server automatically) causes apps to blow chunks, these are bad apps.
It's also how we stop the 1% from hording all of civilizations wealth
Not really. "The 1%" have a number of allowances and deductions available to them to mitigate the impact of cap gains taxes. These taxes serves mainly to keep you and I from reaching the 1% group and ensure that we continue working as wage slaves.
Bitcoin is a form of asset. Just like shares of stock, you are supposed to pay capital gains tax on the difference between purchase and sales price. It's how our government profits from the asset inflation that they themselves cause.
In any event Trump thinks he's smart, but he's not
Or perhaps he is. A great real estate developer and dealmaker who has managed to make bundles of money while leaving other investors with the losses from his failed ventures. If you are trying to close the deal on a shithole condo with leaky plumbing in a bad neighborhood, you don't insult prospective buyers. You butter them up by telling them how great they are.
The jury is still out on Trump. But I wouldn't write him off yet.
No, you don't. According to Seattle politicians, that is.
You want an 800 s.f. apartment/condo for $2000/month. With no view, in a shit neighborhood with hobos living in the empty lot next door. Did you actually want to park a car someplace? Fuhgeddaboudit. No cars for you. Get a bicycle instead and leave it outside where the hobos can strip it. And if you even think about moving out into the suburbs, Seattle runs the planning process for the entire county. So you can look at all that empty land. Just don't think about building on it.
I got a fine from the county for using a CB channel
The county? Local governments don't have diddly to say about radio spectrum use. The FCC is a different matter.
I'm not saying that this didn't happen. But if it did, you must live in one of those places with a corrupt local government that takes a financial kickback for everything. Like California.
What's the difference between a cat video with a concealed message using unapproved cryptography and one with random noise added if they all have one or the other?

a UNIX clock is guarantied to never run backwards

"Your money." My sides!
Simple solution. Work the graveyard shift.

That didn't work for Iran's centrifuges.
build a $8.8 billion (61 million yuan)
Your Slashdot editorial staff at work. TFA has it right.
1 USD is worth aproximately 6.94 RMB
Actually, 1 USD - 6.94 yuan. Renminbi is not the proper unit for that currency.

I want a yard, on land that I own.

who are impulsive about policing other people's thoughts and don't like it when others don't share their opinions,
Feminists? First thing that crossed my mind was fundie Xtians.
